The "sweeping monk" is an old monk and does the lowest class of work in Shaolin Temple, but he is actually the No.1 master in the novel both in Kung fu and in the study of Buddhism.

“扫地僧”是个在少林寺做粗活的老和尚，但事实上，他才是小说中在武功及佛学造诣方面的第一高手。

Once a small monk was assigned the work of sweeping the yard every day.

有一个小和尚，每天都要在院子里扫地。
