Heifeng Mountain and Zizhu Mountain are adjacent to each other, and the distance between the two mountains is only fifty miles.
With Tang Sanzang's current foot strength, even if he didn't ride a white dragon horse, the trip would only take an hour.
The Black Wind Mountain is the territory of the black bear spirit. According to usual experience, monsters and monsters should roam around here.
But when the master and apprentice mobilized their troops and arrived at the foot of the mountain, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.
At this time, Heifeng Mountain was like a huge market, crowded with people and very busy.
I saw people from all over the country coming here in an endless stream. They were either driving bullock carts or pulling carts, and they surrounded the foot of the mountain.
And where the crowd gathered, there were several open-air mountains of coal nearly a hundred feet high.
Several fat bears that looked like overseers were lying on hammocks next to the coal mountain, licking honey and chewing apples, watching everyone's every move.
After everyone arrived, they picked up the shovels and shoveled the coal that had been piled up into the car.
Then he gave the fat bears a basket of fruits or honey syrup, then pulled the loaded cart away.
And on Black Wind Mountain, there are still hordes of bear bears.
They carried bamboo baskets filled with coal and kept coming down the mountain along the rugged mountain road.
After unloading the coal in the basket, the bears took a few bites of fruit, rested for a while, and then returned to the mountains along the same route...
"No, isn't this Black Wind Mountain the lair of the black bear spirit? Why does it look more and more like a big coal kiln?"
Looking at a wooden sign standing not far away, Tang Sanzang's bald head was messy in the wind.
I saw a notice written crookedly on the wooden sign:
I will open this mountain and mine this mine. If you want to buy coal, leave some food for you!
Under the notice, there is still a line of small words:
Ten pounds of berries or one pound of honey can be exchanged for a cart of clean coal. If the quantity is large, the price will be the same!
Black Wind layman's signature.
"Master, do you think that black bear just digs coal and burns charcoal for a living?"
Looking at the notice, Sun Wukong was also quite shocked, "It's just that the price is too cheap..."
What a hell.
This black bear spirit is a monster. Why did he become a coal boss when he refused to engage in legitimate business in the fish and meat village?
It's fine to be a coal boss, but the price of coal is too low, right?
"This donor, do you know what kind of monster the black bear spirit in the mountain is?"
With this thought, Tang Sanzang immediately stopped a villager who had just arrived and asked politely.
"Holy Monk, you don't know something. That Black Wind layman is a well-known benevolent bear in our country!"
Seeing that the other party was an elegant and handsome monk, the villager immediately introduced him enthusiastically.
He told Tang Sanzang that there was a lot of coal hidden under Black Wind Mountain, but because of the steep terrain, no one had dared to mine it for hundreds of years.
Since the black bear moved into the mountains, it has started digging mountains for coal.
The surrounding people only need to send some berries and honey in exchange for enough clean coal to last a whole winter.
Precisely because of the existence of such high-quality and cheap coal, the people around us no longer have to worry about the cold weather in the middle of winter.
The reason why Taoshan County is so rich is that the ceramics it produces can be sold far away, and it has a lot to do with the continuous supply of coal from Black Wind Mountain...
After hearing this, Tang Sanzang was extremely speechless.
You know, digging mountains and mining coal has been a business that brings wealth and wealth since ancient times.
But this black bear didn't want this mountain of gold and silver. He only needed some honey and berries to spread it, and generously gave away the wealth of this mountain!
With this move, it is no exaggeration to call him a great benevolent bear!
From this point of view, the black bear spirit is obviously not an ordinary monster greedy for treasure.
If that's the case, then why did he join forces with Elder Jinchi to steal the Jinyi cassock?
With this doubt, Tang Sanzang thanked the visitor, and then walked towards the mountain without staying any longer.
Walking along the mountain road, there are many bears on the road, but most of them are ordinary beasts that have not been able to cultivate into demons.
Sensing that the two men were being unkind, they one by one stepped aside to make way for Tang Seng and his disciples.
After a while, the two of them arrived at the top of the mountain, and a bear cave named 'Batu Cave' appeared in front of them.
It is more appropriate to call it a cave than a coal mine cave.
Boom! Boom! Boom! …
Just listen to the roar of mining from time to time in the cave.
Strong whirlwinds roared continuously at the entrance of the cave, sucking out all the coal from the bottom of the cave and blowing it to both sides of the outside of the cave.
Many bears who had been waiting for a long time also hurriedly came up with bamboo baskets in their arms and carried the coal down the mountain one by one.
A large amount of coal ash was also swept into the air, causing black winds to blow over the entire mountain, and the sky and the earth were completely black.
"Who is here? What's the matter here?"
At this moment, two fat bears, one large and one small, walked up and blocked Tang Sanzang's path.
These two bears seem to have some moral integrity, and they actually speak human words.
"Go and tell your king that his grandpa wants to see him for something!"
Sun Wukong on the side lost his patience and immediately reported his family background.
"grandfather?"
Xiong Da scratched his head in confusion, "My king is three to five thousand years old, how come his grandfather is still alive?"
Xiong Da muttered, then did not dare to wait for orders, and ran to the cave to report the news: "Your Majesty, what a happy event! Your long-lost grandpa is here to find you!"
"..."
After hearing this, Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong looked at each other.
Why do these two bear demons look like they are not very smart...
"Does your grandpa know how to speak bear language?"
After a while, a silly curse sounded from the bottom of the cave.
And a big fat bear that was more than ten feet tall roared out of the cave on the evil wind and appeared in front of the two of them.
The visitor was none other than the black bear spirit who stole the brocade cassock!
I saw that his whole body was covered with thick soot, and he was holding a two-foot-long shovel in his hand, as if he had just finished hard work.
"I'm telling you who is so humble, it turns out to be Qi Jing Ren and Na Bima Wen!"
The black bear shook its head, causing a large amount of soot to fly and a black mist to rise above its head.
"Amitabha, the poor monk has no ill intentions in coming this time. As long as the layman returns the cassock to the poor monk, everything will be fine!"
Seeing that Sun Wukong was about to have an attack, Tang Sanzang immediately stopped him and said to the black bear.
After all, there are many civilians under Black Wind Mountain. If the two of them fight here, innocent people will inevitably be hurt.
"I said you, a monk, are so unreasonable! If you have to pay back what you stole, wouldn't I have stolen it in vain?"
Unexpectedly, Black Bear not only confessed to this matter, but was even quite confident!
And his thinking made Tang Sanzang speechless for a moment...
"You monster, stop talking nonsense and hand over my master's cassock immediately!"
In response, Sun Wukong couldn't hold himself back and cursed directly at him.
"Bima Wen, don't call me a monster, I am the master of Batu Cave!"
"Okay Black Bear Spirit, return my cassock quickly!"
"Don't call me a black bear spirit, I am a black and white iron-eating beast!"
"Okay, Blackhead."
"Wow, you're so angry with me! You're such a bully, you really don't know what's good or bad!!"
During this exchange with Sun Wukong, the black bear seemed to be completely angered, but it roared to the sky!
