Luojia Mountain

A large black bear, standing upright, had its eyes darting around. It looked somewhat timid and seemed tireless as it kept going back and forth between the mountain gate and the foot of the mountain.

This big black bear is none other than the Black Wind King. After losing to Suer at Guanyin Temple, he lost face and, having lost his original strength, he was too embarrassed to stay at Guanyin Temple and continue to swindle people.

Suddenly finding himself with nowhere to go, the black bear spirit had no choice but to consider returning to Mount Luojia.

However, when the black bear spirit arrived at the mountain gate, he hesitated. One moment he thought that he had done something somewhat despicable and it would be better to leave quickly; the next moment he thought that he should just go in and apologize to his master. It shouldn't be a big deal... right?

"Aren't you coming in? I've seen you walk back and forth a hundred times already." While the black bear spirit was still swaying back and forth, a crisp voice called out to him.

The black bear spirit looked in the direction of the voice, her bear face fell, and she forced a smile, "Hehehe... it's Senior Sister."

The newcomer was as beautiful as the moon, with fair wrists like frost and snow. She was graceful and elegant, and her movements were light and unrestrained. Anyone who saw her would call her a beauty of unparalleled grace. This beautiful woman was none other than the Dragon Girl who held the pearl, the senior sister of the simple-minded Black Bear Spirit.

"What, are you unhappy that I came to see you?" The Dragon Girl holding the pearl couldn't help but feel both annoyed and amused when she saw the Black Bear Spirit's timid appearance after seeing her.

"Not at all, Senior Sister, what are you saying? Junior Brother has just been away for a long time and we've grown estranged..." the Black Bear Spirit said with a forced smile.

The Dragon Girl's expression suddenly turned serious, and she scolded, "Are you getting estranged? I think you've done something wrong and are afraid to see me, afraid to see your master!"

Seeing the dragon girl suddenly become serious, the black bear spirit's two bear legs trembled, and he knelt down on the ground with a thud, saying pitifully, "Senior sister, junior brother knows he was wrong. Please, senior sister, plead with our master for me!"

As the black bear spirit spoke, it kowtowed repeatedly, as if it were pounding garlic.

"Alright, alright, stop kowtowing. Hurry up and catch up!" The Dragon Girl simply waved her hand, and the Black Bear Spirit stood up. After speaking, she walked into the mountain gate.

Seeing this, the black bear spirit cleverly jogged a few steps to catch up with the dragon girl. When he arrived, he asked, "Why is it just you, senior sister, who came this time? Where is senior brother?"

"Which senior brother?" The Dragon Girl glanced at the Black Bear Spirit.

"Who else could it be? Senior Sister, you know I'm asking about Senior Brother Sudhana!" The Black Bear Spirit had the best relationship with Sudhana when they were in the South China Sea. Sudhana and the Dragon Girl were always inseparable. Today, not seeing Sudhana made him wonder.

Upon hearing the Black Bear Spirit's question, the Dragon Girl suddenly stopped, turned around, and said to him with a wry smile, "Him... he took off the golden headband and went to experience his tribulations."

"Huh?" The black bear paused for a moment, but did not ask any further questions. He then followed the dragon girl towards the purple bamboo forest.

A gentle breeze stirs the bamboo shadows.

The Dragon Girl led the Black Bear Spirit there and respectfully bowed to the white-robed Bodhisattva sitting on the blue stone in the bamboo forest, saying, "Master, I have brought my junior brother."

The black bear spirit's gaze pierced through the green bamboo branches and saw that familiar figure. He immediately clasped his hands together, knelt on the ground, and acted coy and evasive. "Master, disciple, disciple knows he was wrong. Please forgive me, Master."

When Guanyin Bodhisattva saw that the Black Bear Spirit had admitted his mistake, she put down the bamboo cage she was weaving.

"It's good that you didn't lose your life." Guanyin pushed aside some crooked bamboo, bent down, and stood in front of the black bear spirit. She patted the black bear spirit's furry head with her slender jade hand. "I expected this calamity for you. It's fine if that monkey uses his six senses, but if he foolishly tries to refine them, he will surely die. In the future, you can learn some magic from your senior brother and sister."

Upon hearing Guanyin's words, the black bear spirit raised its head in a daze, remaining silent for a long time before finally managing to utter in a hoarse voice, "Master... Father..."

“I know you’ve harbored some resentment over the past hundred years. Your stubborn nature is hard to tame. You’ll have to suffer more losses before you can control yourself.”

The black bear spirit let Guanyin Bodhisattva touch his forehead. He had finally understood the reason, and tears welled up in his eyes. "Master, your disciple... knows he was wrong!"

The black bear spirit bowed again, banging his head on the ground, showing less ulterior motives and more sincerity.

Only after receiving Guanyin's forgiveness did the Black Bear Spirit inquire about the matter of Sudhana.

"You two have a good relationship, and his tribulation is also for the sake of the six senses. But he is different from you. He is very powerful, and he can only overcome this tribulation by guarding against evil thoughts and not having any crooked intentions." Guanyin Bodhisattva said, and sighed. Of her two disciples, she could only help the younger one, the Black Bear Spirit. Red Boy's tribulation was something Red Boy had to face on his own.

Only by enduring resentment, suppressing evil thoughts, and suppressing anger can Sudhana overcome his tribulations.

After weathering the storms of life, he might actually be able to avenge himself, but judging from Guanyin Bodhisattva's understanding of her disciple, the chances of that are extremely slim.

"Disciple understands." The black bear spirit bowed and said. He already knew that his senior brother's affairs were not something he could interfere with. He could only hope that his senior brother would learn from him and be as useless as possible. There was nothing wrong with being a comedic character.

Guanyin Bodhisattva suddenly made a mental calculation and said to the Black Bear Spirit, "According to my calculations, the Chosen One should be in Little Western Heaven now. Lingji came to see me a few days ago and said that although the Chosen One is a polite person, he is even more ferocious than Sun Wukong back then. He would kill people at the drop of a hat to refine their souls, and he is also a vengeful person."

Now, only some stone spirits remain in the 800-mile-long Yellow Wind Ridge. His traitorous disciple was beaten into a pile of mud. Xiao Lilong, one of the Four Rivers, offended him and was killed by him. Then he went to Black Wind Mountain and killed the Red-Bearded Dragon.

You are very lucky. The local deity of Black Wind Mountain pleaded for you, and you knew when to back down and beg for mercy, which is why you didn't get yourself killed.

Although you didn't refine those six roots, you still used their things. If you're sincere, take a treasure to thank that chosen one.

Upon hearing his master's description, the black bear spirit swallowed hard, thankful that he had knelt down quickly enough and his knees were flexible enough, otherwise he might have ended up like that yellow-haired weasel.

"I understand, Master. I'll set off right away." The black bear spirit made a move to get up. He was afraid that the people destined for him would have their eyes on him. After all, he had personally witnessed the day that evil star returned to Black Wind Mountain.

"Wait a minute, I'll teach you a magic spell to speed things up, so you don't miss your chance." Guanyin said, pointing to the black bear spirit's forehead, and a golden light entered the black bear spirit's forehead.

The black bear spirit closed his eyes for a moment, then bowed deeply again, saying, "Thank you, Master, for passing on the Heavenly Gang Technique to me."

"Yes, go ahead." Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded.

"Yes." After saying that, the black bear spirit transformed into a golden light and disappeared a thousand miles away.

After the black bear spirit left, the dragon girl holding the pearl looked at her master with some confusion, "Master, why did you help that monkey again?"

"Hehe, I'm not helping that monkey, I'm just helping all sentient beings." Guanyin Bodhisattva sighed and shook her head, saying, "The World Honored One has now committed all three poisons, and the Western Paradise has become a scourge to the world. With my status, I could have simply turned a blind eye and joined in the chaos... But... how could he bear to harm my disciple?!"

Guanyin Bodhisattva stopped speaking here and closed her mouth. When she spoke again, the kind-faced and beautiful woman had transformed into a handsome young man with angry eyes.

Guanyin Bodhisattva looked westward and said loudly to the Dragon Girl beside her: "If you close your eyes and turn your ears away from all living beings, what is the point of observing freedom and listening to worldly sounds?"

If you don't see or hear, you might as well not practice Buddhism at all. Now the opportunity to break this deadlock has arrived; let the old tree die and let the new tree grow.
