"Elder Jinchi, you are finally dead! Hehe, I have been waiting for this day for many years!"
However, just when everyone was feeling heavy about this, a gloating voice suddenly sounded from the forest.
Tang Sanzang frowned and looked in the direction of the sound.
However, in the withered bamboo forest, a strange black and white beast suddenly appeared and swaggered towards it.
In front of everyone, this strange beast picked up the fairy bamboo shoots transformed from the golden pond and turned around to leave.
"Monster, who are you!"
Seeing this, Tang Sanzang felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy and immediately took the nine-ringed tin staff into his hand.
"What, you don't recognize me?"
Seeing that everyone was very unkind, the visitor looked shocked and said.
After hearing this familiar voice, Tang Sanzang reacted.
It turns out that the strange beast in front of me is the black bear spirit that Qin Po drove to take a bath earlier!
After washing away the charcoal dust, the black bear spirit revealed his true appearance.
I saw that he had a pair of dark circles under his eyes, two furry black ears, and the fur all over his body was black and white, giving him a simple and honest look.
"This... black and white iron-eating beast!?"
After seeing his appearance clearly, Tang Sanzang shouted subconsciously.
When he first arrived at Guanyin Temple, the black bear spirit loved bamboo shoots and fresh milk, and he always boasted that he had fought alongside Emperor Chi You.
Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a panda!
"Hehe, the holy monk really has good eyesight, he actually recognized my identity at a glance!"
The black bear spirit grinned, and then he couldn't put it down and rubbed the fairy bamboo shoots on his face.
"So it's him? No wonder he was unscathed when I beat him with a stick!"
After hearing this, Sun Wukong on the side also realized.
According to legend, in ancient times, Emperor Chi You had a mount called the Black and White Iron-Eating Beast.
This mythical beast has rough skin and thick flesh, is invulnerable to weapons and bullets, and is not afraid of punishment from heaven and thunder.
He had fought with Emperor Chiyou in the Three Realms for hundreds of years, and had only one defeat in his life!
Although he had introduced himself to his family before, at that time he was covered in coal black and looked like a bear. Sun Wukong only thought that he was bragging and did not take it seriously.
But now it seems that I have actually made a mistake!
"Master Heifeng, Elder Jinchi has been a close friend of yours for many years. Now that he has passed away, why are you not sad at all?"
Tang Sanzang looked at the panda up and down curiously and asked in confusion.
"Sad? Why? It's too late for me to be happy!"
Black Bear Jingman said indifferently, "Elder Jinchi came to the human world just to experience calamity. Now that he has passed away, it means that his calamity in the earthly world has ended!"
"He has finally completed his merits and can return to the Purple Bamboo Forest of Luojia Mountain and return to the Bodhisattva!"
Calamity! ?
After hearing this, Tang Sanzang was stunned for a while.
Based on what he meant, could it be that Elder Jinchi was actually a disciple of Master Guanyin from the beginning. Was it just because he made a mistake or for other reasons that he was demoted to the human world and experienced suffering?
With this thought, Tang Sanzang looked towards the black bear spirit.
The black bear spirit didn't mind this at all, and immediately talked about the reason.
After the defeat of Emperor Chiyou, the black bear spirit wandered in the three realms for thousands of years. Finally, he converted to Buddhism and worshiped Guanyin, becoming the guardian of Luojia Mountain.
Elder Jinchi was an immortal bamboo in the Purple Bamboo Forest who had been cultivating for thousands of years. He and the Black Bear Spirit fell in love with each other at first sight and became a close friend.
But later, Jin Chi allowed the black bear spirit to steal the fairy bamboo shoots, resulting in a season of fewer bamboos in the forest.
Master Guanyin was very angry when he learned about it and demoted them both to the human world.
He also told the two of them that they could only return to Luojia Mountain after waiting for the fate to pass.
After that, One Bear and One Bamboo settled in the border area of Harbin Kingdom.
Elder Jinchi chose to use Buddhism to save all sentient beings, built Guanyin Zen Temple in Zizhu Mountain, and became a famous and enlightened monk.
The black bear spirit adopted a group of homeless bear cubs and started digging coal in Black Wind Mountain to benefit the people.
And in this human penance, the disaster that Elder Jinchi has to go through is none other than Po Qin who saved his life!
In the end, Qin Po escaped from the sea of suffering, Ling Xuzi and his disciples all died, and Jin Chi also passed away.
His calamity in the human world has now come to an end.
But even though it was a destined disaster, what Jin Chi did was undoubtedly contrary to Buddhist teachings.
Even if he returns to Luojia Mountain, I am afraid that the Bodhisattva will not let him go easily...
"Don't worry, Bodhisattva is not a rigid and pedantic person!"
Regarding Tang Sanzang's doubts, Black Bear Spirit patted his chest and said, "My Bodhisattva is famous for protecting shortcomings. Not only will he not embarrass Jinchi, he will even help him recall his soul and let him continue to practice in Luojia Mountain. !”
Although the black bear spirit didn't look very reliable, Tang Sanzang finally felt much better after hearing these words of assurance.
After all, it would be difficult to reconcile one's acquaintance if one's revenge for one's benefactor puts oneself into a place of eternal doom.
If Master Guanyin can really be magnanimous and forgive Jinchi's sins and let him continue to stay in Luojia Mountain, it will be the best ending.
"Since Elder Jinchi's destiny is Qin Po, I dare to ask the layman, what is your destiny?"
At this time, Tang Sanzang suddenly remembered something and asked the black bear spirit again.
"My destiny is actually you, the holy monk!"
The black bear spirit hugged the fairy bamboo shoots and said with an aggrieved look.
"What's the meaning?"
After hearing this, Tang Sanzang couldn't help but be stunned.
"Actually, when the Bodhisattva demoted me to the human world, he didn't care about the few bamboo shoots I stole, but because he thought I stayed in Luojia Mountain all day with nothing to do, so he sent me here. Just to wait for the holy monk. When you arrive, take me as your disciple and let me serve as your mount to take you to the West!"
In response, the black bear spirit immediately told the truth.
What?
After hearing this, Tang Sanzang was stunned.
This black bear spirit, is my emotion a vehicle prepared by Guanyin Bodhisattva for me?
"Oops, is this guy here to steal my job?"
In response to this, Xiao Bailong, who had been silent until now, panicked for a moment.
You know, this guy fought side by side with Emperor Chi You three thousand years ago, and has also reached the Golden Fairy Realm. No matter in terms of qualifications or realm, he undoubtedly crushes him.
If the master really accepts him as his disciple and lets him serve as his driver, wouldn't I be marginalized?
For a moment, Xiao Bailong felt an unprecedented employment crisis, and then looked at Tang Sanzang reluctantly, waiting for his response.
Tang Sanzang also looked hesitant.
A small white dragon, a black and white iron-eating beast with a distinguished life, and the two horses take turns to ride, which is undoubtedly a good thing on the Xitian Road.
