** Buddha teaches Fahai early in the story that his prejudices against demons goes against the celestial rules that he tries to pass to others. He soon [[AesopAmnesia forget his lesson]], and tries to force the scholar to become a Buddhist and separate him from white snake. Everybody pays for that.
