Respect without Buddha

mysterious and hard to guess - guǐ mì mò cè

a beauty in her old age - měi rén chí mù

heard of no more - yú chén yàn miǎo

An unexpected disaster - wú wàng zhī huò

Monk from afar - yuǎn lái hé shàng hǎo kàn jīng

have the ball at one 's feet - rú chí zuǒ quàn

Flattery and cowardice - zhé yú lì nuò

Beat the bowl to urge Poetry - jī bō cuī shī

I'm not paid - pī qiú fù xīn

all-powerful - cuī kū zhèn xiǔ
