Looking up at a peak, he was astonished: surely this was a hill from Vulture Peak in his homeland — when had it flown here? Ever since, it has been called Feilai Feng, the Peak That Flew Here. Before it he founded a temple and named it Lingyin: where the spirit hides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHundreds of stone figures smile from the rock face of Feilai Feng.
