Guanyin Bodhisattva was also displeased, looking around and seeing no one.
Then, with a wave of her hand, the doors and windows of the Buddhist hall all shut.
Next, Guanyin Bodhisattva rolled up her sleeves and with a fierce expression said, "You earthen jar, deliberately causing trouble, is that it? Outside, I am a Bodhisattva; when you and I et, I am Ci Hang! If you’re not convinced, we’ll settle this the old-fashioned way, with a fight! Do you really think I’d be afraid of you just because you’ve beco a Buddha?!"
Ju Liusun was also fired up, jutting out his neck, ready to retort, but then he realized that due to his height, he simply couldn’t overshadow Guanyin Bodhisattva’s presence.
So Ju Liusun jumped onto the table, stood on tiptoes, then he despondently discovered he was still not as tall as Guanyin...
He angrily said, "Are you doing this on purpose? Making the table so short!"
Guanyin Bodhisattva chuckled, lifting the hem of her robe to reveal a stool beneath her feet, saying, "Did you really think you were the only one who could leverage things? Earthen jar, you’d best scram quickly, or else don’t bla for being rude!"
"Are you sure about that?" Ju Liusun looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva defiantly, as if to say if he left, he’d co back stealthily.
Guanyin Bodhisattva narrowed her eyes, their gazes t, sparks flying.
Just then, the window opened.
Almost instantly, Ju Liusun jumped down from the table, pressing his palms together, his face the picture of compassion.
Guanyin Bodhisattva kicked away the stool, dropped the hem of her robe, her face a portrait of gentleness.
Then a golden-winged kite appeared at the window, calling out twice. Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled and said, "Go play over there."
The golden-winged kite turned and, with a flap of its wings, flew away.
Guanyin Bodhisattva said, "This is my favorite pet, untrained and not turned into a spirit, just an ordinary golden-winged kite. I can watch her from birth, growing up day by day, getting fatter, starting a family, having offspring...
Ju Liusun, all I want now is to practice quietly, and I don’t want to keep fighting with you."
Ju Liusun gave her a sidelong glance and said, "I trust you as far as I can throw you. Last ti you set up, you didn’t seem so open-minded. Now I’ve finally found an opportunity, no matter what, you need to give so satisfaction!"
Guanyin Bodhisattva stared at Ju Liusun once more...
Ju Liusun waited, his eyes as large as soybeans, showing no sign of weakness.
In the end, Guanyin Bodhisattva said, "Fine, you want to see, right? Then co with , and I’ll put an end to that wish of yours!"
After several encounters with Tang Sanzang, Guanyin Bodhisattva had gotten to know a bit about Tang Sanzang’s temperant, which was like a stubborn donkey; handle him the right way, and there usually wouldn’t be a problem.
Moreover, the two shared so rapport. As long as his taboos were not crossed, they could coexist peacefully. Find exclusive stories on .Côm
Besides, Guanyin Bodhisattva still had a trump card!
Upon leaving, Guanyin Bodhisattva said, "Dragon Girl, follow ."
In the distance, the Dragon Girl, who was reading scriptures, imdiately stood up and followed.
anwhile, in the forest,
a golden-winged kite landed on an old tree, opening its mouth to bite into an apple in front of it, when suddenly a large hand appeared before him!
With a sweep of the hand...
"Gah!"
The golden-winged kite scread sharply, leaving only a few feathers drifting with the wind.
On the other hand, in the bamboo grove, a pitch-black bear spirit was busily digging up bamboo shoots to prepare for breakfast, his big bottom pointed upwards.
Just then, he heard a bird’s cry of distress from afar.
Soon after, a plu of cooking smoke rose, carrying with it a tempting aroma.
The bear spirit was startled, then bolted in the direction of the scent, roaring, "Hey! Who dares to kill wantonly at Mount Putuo!"
Breaking through the bamboo, he saw a bald man sitting there, tending a bonfire, roasting at.
The Black Bear Spirit exclaid in shock, "Elder Tang, what are you doing...?"
Tang Sanzang replied, "Eating breakfast, what’s wrong?"
The Black Bear Spirit cried, "This is Mount Putuo, you’re killing living beings and eating at?"
Tang Sanzang tilted his head and said, "So what if it’s Mount Putuo? Even if it were the holy mountain, I still need to eat."
The Black Bear Spirit went mad for a mont; he was the Mountain Guardian Deity, tasked with protecting every plant and creature on the mountain, especially the little animals that appeared very ordinary, but those were all pets specially raised by the Bodhisattva!
Without even looking, he knew that the bald man must be eating one of the Bodhisattva’s pets.
What was even more damning was that this poacher was brazenly roasting at right in front of him, the Mountain Guardian Deity, making it impossible for him to pretend to be unaware...
"What do I do, what do I do?" the Black Bear Spirit wailed inwardly, wondering if he should intervene at all in this matter?
If he did, the baldy might just roast him instead...
If he didn’t, the Bodhisattva might roast him...
Such a dilemma!
Just then, the Black Bear Spirit saw feathers on the ground, and HIS whole body’s hair stood on end as he shrieked, "These... these... are they from the Bodhisattva’s Golden Winged Roc? You actually ate it?!"
Tang Sanzang shook his head.
The Black Bear Spirit imdiately breathed a sigh of relief, "Good you didn’t eat it. Tell , where’s the bird then?"
Tang Sanzang looked at him as if he were an idiot, then pointed to the fire in front of him, "Isn’t it right there by the fire?"
The Black Bear Spirit: "I..."
The Black Bear Spirit, infuriated, spun around in circles on the spot and finally wailed, "Big brother, that’s the Bodhisattva’s pet!"
Tang Sanzang said indifferently, "Why are you yelling so loudly? It’s not the first ti I’ve eaten it..."
"What do you an it’s not the first ti..." Realization dawned on the Black Bear Spirit as he glared with his bear eyes, "The at you gave yesterday..."
Tang Sanzang grinned, "Yeah, the one from yesterday was also caught on the mountain, and you ate it too, didn’t you? Not a single bone was left."
The Black Bear Spirit felt like he was going to lose his mind, as he fiercely pulled at his scalp, "Are you tricking ?"
Tang Sanzang nodded forcefully, "Yeah, I tricked you."
"You..." The Black Bear Spirit wanted to say sothing like "I’m going to fight you to the death" or "I’ll kill you," but he was very clear that if he really said that, he’d most likely be the one getting beaten up!
He looked at the shaless, cunning fellow in front of him with wide eyes and through gritted teeth said, "You’ve gone too far!"
Tang Sanzang said, "Do you have salt on this mountain? This dry roast doesn’t taste good. It’d be even better with so chili peppers."
The Black Bear Spirit scread, "I’m telling you you’ve gone too far, and you’re asking for salt? And chili peppers? You... you..."
"Stop blabbering, I’m just asking if you have any. Once it’s cooked, are you going to eat it or not?" Tang Sanzang asked.
The Black Bear Spirit instinctively wanted to refuse.
Tang Sanzang said, "You’ve already eaten it anyway, so it won’t make much difference to eat a bit more, right?"
The Black Bear Spirit said with certainty, "I call dibs on the bird’s butt!"
"Deal!"
Tang Sanzang grinned.
Then the Black Bear Spirit took out his hidden sea salt and chili peppers, and even so other seasonings.
So there they were, one man and one bear, squatting down and polishing off the Bodhisattva’s Golden Winged Roc to the bone.
Leaning against a tree trunk, the Black Bear Spirit said while picking his teeth, "Elder Tang, your cooking has gone downhill. Yesterday’s at was way more flavorful than today’s, and there were obviously more seasonings... Wait a minute, didn’t you say you didn’t have any seasonings?"
