We bear people have power

On the way to Xiniu Hezhou, there is a Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, on which is a Xieyue Sanxing Cave...

The words of the Great Sage were still echoing in Guan Bo's mind. Without needing any magic power, the address alone had already made him a little dizzy.

Lingtai Fangcun Mountain and Xieyue Sanxing Cave are the sites of Bodhi Patriarch's Daoist practice.

The Great Sage spent seven years learning martial arts on the mountain, and thus acquired extraordinary skills.

While the exceptional talent of the intelligent stone monkey certainly played a part, it cannot negate the Bodhi Patriarch's ability to impart knowledge and skills.

If he could truly receive guidance from Patriarch Bodhi, Guan Bo felt that bringing the dead back to life and restoring flesh to bones would be a piece of cake, and perhaps he could even gain one more of the Seven Great Sages of the Demon Clan.

Guan Bo was daydreaming, while Da Sheng was somewhat surprised.

No one knew that he had studied under the Bodhi Patriarch, and Lingtai Fangcun Mountain was not well-known. So why did this guy react as if he had heard of the Great Thunder Temple when he heard the name of the place?

"Ah, it's even drooling! Has this panda spirit been driven mad by me, Old Sun?"

The Great Sage, though not capable of mind reading, sensed that something was wrong with Guan Bo. He simply pointed a finger at Guan Bo's brow, imprinting the entire route of their journey into Guan Bo's soul.

Then the Great Sage disappeared with a whoosh, as if he didn't want to be infected with mental illness.

Guan Bo noted down the route to Fangcun Mountain, only to find that the Great Sage was nowhere to be seen. He then remarked, "The Great Sage does good deeds without asking for anything in return, and doesn't even ask for a thank you. He is truly a man of noble character."

Shaking his robes, Guan Bo once again summoned a demonic wind and flew back.

Guanyin Village was mostly destroyed, and it was unknown whether Xiaoyingcao would suffer any further mishaps. Now that the Great King Linggan had been eliminated, it was time to go back and take a look, settle the little girl in a safe place, and then Guan Bo could set off for Xiniu Hezhou with peace of mind.

The good wind carries me to the blue clouds with its power.

Guan Bo's return this time was even more brisk.

In just half a day, they returned to the vicinity of Guanyin Village.

Guan Bo didn't originally intend to go back to pick up Xiao Yingcao; he just wanted to take one last look from afar to make sure the little girl was safe and sound.

Sensing the demonic energy planted on Xiaoyingcao, Guan Bo discovered that the little girl had already left Guanyin Village.

He quickly set off to catch up, and on the rugged mountain road, Guan Bo saw a dirty, muddy monkey trudging through the dense forest.

His dirty face was covered in bruises, and he muttered under his breath as he walked: "You damned panda, you stinking panda, you heartless bastard! You're busy eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring, running away and leaving me all alone. I'll pluck all your black fur, leaving only the white hair, so the world can see you, you little-eyed traitor!"

The way the cursing was full of meaning that people of this era couldn't understand. Guan Bo could only smile wryly when he heard it, as if he had fed this little girl too much unreliable knowledge.

After walking only a few steps, Xiao Yingcao tripped and fell, and her arm was scratched by thorns.

In front of others, Xiaoyingcao could bite her lip and pretend to be strong, not letting her tears fall, but when she was alone, she would immediately burst into tears. She would just get up while crying and continue walking along the mountain path.

She cried and cursed as she walked, but eventually all she did was cry and walk, and she couldn't come up with any new words to curse anymore.

This scene made Guan Bo both laugh and feel sad.

When Guan Bo appeared in front of Xiao Yingcao, the little girl was stunned for a moment.

Then she forgot all the curses she had hurled and all the punishments she had planned, and just buried her face in Guan Bo's arms and burst into tears.

Guan Bo simply revealed his true form, letting Xiao Yingcao lie on his soft belly, just like in the old days.

Exhausted from crying, Xiao Yingcao no longer had the strength to pluck all the black hair off Guan Bo's body, so she simply fell asleep on Guan Bo's stomach.

Guan Bo smiled bitterly. Who knew she would give up her good life to follow a monster?

In the blink of an eye, Guan Bo showered Xiao Yingcao with a healing spell.

With the help of tissue regeneration and hemostasis, the wounds on Xiaoyingcao's body disappeared without a trace.

"Huh, the effect is so good?" Guan Bo was a little puzzled.

Guan Bo's magical talent is quite average; his healing spells are merely a matter of practice making perfect, neither outstanding nor inferior.

Even if one's strength increases dramatically due to transformation, it shouldn't be to the point of instantaneous healing.

"Could it be that my protagonist aura has finally appeared?" Guan Bo sighed, placing the sleeping Xiao Yingcao on his back.

On his journey to Xiniu Hezhou, Guan Bo would never abandon Xiao Yingcao.

On Mount Luojia, the Black Bear Spirit was still listening to the Bodhisattva's lecture, but he seemed somewhat distracted.

Seeing this, the Bodhisattva said to the black bear spirit, "If you are restless, staying here will not help. You might as well go and take a look."

The black bear spirit felt a little embarrassed, but he couldn't help but worry, so he took his leave of the Bodhisattva and headed towards Guan Bo's location.

Under the stars and moon, a panda carrying a little girl flew through the clouds, while the Black Bear Spirit rushed to Guan Bo's side like a shooting star.

"Second brother, are you determined not to return to Luojia Mountain?" The black bear spirit's tone was full of disappointment and frustration.

In the eyes of the Black Bear Spirit, being able to listen to the Bodhisattva preach day and night was the quickest and safest way to achieve enlightenment, yet his own brother insisted on running away.

“Brother Xiong, I remember all the sutras the Bodhisattva taught, but her path is not my path,” Guan Bo explained sincerely.

This black bear spirit brother was truly kind to him, and Guan Bo was naturally deeply grateful for this kindness.

"Ugh."

The black bear spirit sighed, revealing all its sorrow.

If Guan Bo had achieved something in his studies, that would be fine. However, this little panda brother seems to be nothing more than a lazy, good-for-nothing fool. In this turbulent and competitive world, he will probably be trapped in the cycle of reincarnation in no time.

"Fine, as long as he's not completely destroyed, I'll risk being disliked by the Bodhisattva to get him out of the underworld."

The black bear spirit, having made up his mind, said to Guan Bo, "Your journey is long, and you're taking this brat with you, which will surely bring you many misfortunes. I have some treasures on Black Wind Mountain; go and retrieve them before you continue your journey, hoping they will ensure your safety."

"Bear, you actually have a secret stash of money? Aren't you afraid the Buddha will punish you by making you kneel on durians?" Guan Bo exclaimed in surprise.

"Although I don't understand what you're saying, I still feel like you're blaspheming the Bodhisattva." The black bear spirit clenched his fist, wondering if he should give this guy a little heart-shaped hammer to smash his chest.

Seeing that something was wrong, Guan Bo unleashed his demonic power and disappeared without a trace.

After transforming into human form, he became increasingly adept at using this escape spell.

The black bear spirit could only give a wry smile, then turned and flew towards Mount Luojia. As the eldest brother, he would make up for Guan Bo's missed morning and evening lessons.

Guan Bo carried the sleeping Xiao Yingcao and flew towards Black Wind Mountain.

The flying bear under the moon, with a little person lying on it, is quite amusing.

Before they even reached the Black Wind Mountain area, Guan Bo saw a streak of silver light flying towards them, as graceful as a swimming dragon and as startled as a swan.

Guan Bo dared not dodge, because Xiao Yingcao was sleeping soundly, and he was afraid that she might fall if he wasn't careful.

The mountain-like beast's body burst forth with golden blossoms, each composed of Sanskrit characters. These golden blossoms converged in one place, blocking the silver light.

Before Guan Bo could even discern what the silvery treasure was, he heard a sharp shout: "Monster, put that little girl down right now, or don't blame me for being merciless with my sword!"
