Journey to the West: Upon seeing the Yellow-Eyebrowed Demon, why not pay homage?

"Your Majesty, do not be discouraged. If we fail once, we will try again; if we fail twice, we will try three times. Persistence pays off. We will surely find opportunities and hope in failure."

Five hundred and thirty miles west of Black Wind Mountain, on a hilltop, Bai Susu gazed at the figure before her with furrowed brows, her voice gentle yet firm.

Huang Mei slowly raised her eyes: "I'm not discouraged, but I'm thinking of a solution."

Bai Susu breathed a quiet sigh of relief and said, "As the saying goes, 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.' I think the most urgent thing is to find out the identity of that troublemaker. Does Your Majesty have any guesses?"

Huang Mei nodded and said, "Yes! The other party is surrounded by a Buddha's aura and has a noble temperament. Just as I said in Black Wind Mountain, he is definitely not an unknown person."

Based on this clue, we can deduce that she is a Buddhist, most likely from the contemporary Buddhist lineage. After all, her sudden appearance was to stop me from subduing the Black Wind Monster, which is in the interest of the contemporary Buddhist lineage.

Moreover, she possesses considerable strength and is far from an ordinary virgin...

Putting all the clues together, it reminds me of a figure who was once famous in Buddhism.

"Who?" Bai Susu asked curiously.

"The Right Attendant of Guanyin Bodhisattva, Sudhana and the Dragon Girl!" Huang Mei said solemnly.

Bai Susu blinked and said, "This is troublesome."

Although she hadn't heard much about the story of Sudhana and the Dragon Girl, she knew how terrifying Guanyin Bodhisattva was!

By the same token, someone who can become the right attendant of such a powerful figure must possess extraordinary abilities...

Huang Mei pursed her lips: "The worst thing about doing things is being afraid of trouble, and the second worst thing is being indecisive."

Bai Susu nodded: "Your Majesty, I have an idea."

"What idea?" Huang Mei asked curiously.

He couldn't come up with any foolproof plan. Could Bai Susu possibly have the potential to become the mastermind?

"Just now I saw that the black bear spirit looked at Miaoshan with the same look that the wolf spirit looked at me. Greed aroused possessiveness, and he wished he could mash us into his body."

Bai Susu analyzed the situation calmly and rationally, then changed the subject: "As the saying goes, lust is a knife above one's head, and that is the Black Bear Spirit's weakness."

We can secretly observe and see if Miaoshan has left Black Wind Mountain.

If I had the chance, I could impersonate Miaoshan, drug the Black Bear Spirit, and capture him alive without lifting a finger.

If that doesn't work, then launch a surprise attack. Double the guarantee, it will definitely work!

Over the years, she discovered that she had a remarkable talent for transformation, sometimes even the King couldn't see through her disguise, hence this suggestion...

Huang Mei paused slightly, then shook his head and said, "No, for you, this is no different than going into the tiger's den. I disagree!"

Bai Susu suddenly grabbed his hand, her eyes filled with a hint of determination and pleading: "Your Majesty, I want to become someone useful to you!"

"You are now."

Huang Mei said, "You've managed the affairs of Little Thunderclap Temple perfectly, and you've taken care of my every need..."

"But I feel it's not enough!"

Bai Susu gradually tightened her grip and said sincerely, "Besides that, I hope to fight alongside you, instead of staying in one place like a pendant, watching you suffer."

Huang Mei: "..."

"Your Majesty, please trust me, okay?" Bai Susu pleaded.

Huang Mei had no choice but to say, "Putting your own safety first is the priority. It's fine if I don't take in the Black Bear Spirit; I can take in other demons. But... Little Thunder Temple can't be without an excellent steward."

Bai Susu smiled, raised her right hand, held up three fingers, and said as if making a vow, "I promise to prioritize my innocence."

Huang Mei emphasized, "I'm talking about safety!"

Bai Susu smiled and said, "I was talking about safety."

Huang Mei: "..."

"The ospreys cry 'guan guan' on the river's islet. A fair maiden, a gentleman's ideal. The watercress grows thick and thin, flowing left and right. A fair maiden, he seeks her waking and sleeping."

Black Wind Mountain, Black Wind Cave, the Black Bear Spirit held a willow leaf in his hand, sat upright by the bright window of the painted window, and softly recited a prayer, his heart filled with longing.

He was lonely.

This is because ordinary demons, whether in beast form or human form, are simply unintelligent and stupid to him.

Even the most outstanding among them, Ling Xuzi and the White-Robed Scholar, could not achieve a soul resonance with him.

However, the old abbot of Guanyin Temple was a wise and shrewd man who was good at reading people's expressions and often understood his thoughts. As a result, the two gradually became close friends who could talk about anything.

For this reason, he gave the other party some elixirs and rare fruits, which extended his life by many years.

I'm afraid that once this guy dies, no one will be able to understand my thoughts anymore...

Report!

After an unknown amount of time, a little demon hurried over, knelt down, and kowtowed.

The black bear spirit seemed to awaken from a dream, raising its eyes to ask, "What is it?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, a fairy maiden who calls herself Miaoshan has come to visit," the little demon replied.

The black bear spirit was overjoyed and suddenly stood up: "Who are you talking about?"

The little demon was startled and stammered, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you..."

"You're talking nonsense."

The black bear spirit laughed and cursed, then rushed to the door and used magic to open the cave entrance.

Looking up, I indeed saw the figure I had been longing for...

"Amitabha, Benefactor Black Bear, we meet again." Bai Susu clasped her hands together, impersonating Miaoshan, and exuding the air of a Buddhist nun.

The black bear spirit was easily swayed by this gesture. He clasped his hands together and returned the greeting, saying, "It's so good to see the Master again. It truly feels like three autumns have passed since we last met."

Bai Susu smiled and said, "You flatter me."

"No, no..." The black bear spirit waved his hands repeatedly, "Master, these are all my heartfelt words!"

Bai Susu smiled brightly, which immediately dazzled the Black Bear Spirit and stirred his heart.

"I forgot to tell you something yesterday, so I rushed back," Bai Susu said softly as she was lost in thought.

The black bear spirit chuckled and quickly said, "This isn't the place to talk. Let's go inside the cave and talk."

Bai Susu had no objection and silently followed the other party through the front door, only to find the cave dwelling inside:

The pines and bamboos were lush and green, the peaches and plums were in full bloom, the flowers were in clusters, and the orchids were fragrant. What surprised her even more was the interior structure. The carved beams and painted rafters and the exquisite furnishings did not resemble a monster's cave, but rather a hermitage of immortals.

In the blink of an eye, the black bear spirit led her to a celestial platform and asked with a smile, "Would you like water or tea, Master?"

Bai Susu said gently, "Have some water."

The black bear spirit immediately took out a white porcelain bowl and poured a cup of spring water: "This is spring water I brought from Qingquan Mountain. It tastes sweet but not cloying. Please try it, Master."

Thank you.

Knowing she couldn't be impatient, lest the seemingly rough but actually shrewd demon king see through her act, Bai Susu calmly picked up the porcelain bowl, took a sip of spring water, and praised, "Indeed sweet and delicious, you are very kind."

The black bear spirit chuckled and said, "Although I am a demon, I also appreciate elegance and yearn for Buddhism. Unfortunately, I have no chance to guide anyone, so I can only waste my time here."

Bai Susu, with her keen intellect, was well aware of the meaning behind his words and what he wanted. She feigned hesitation and softly said:

"Very well, if you can survive this man-made disaster, I will be your guide..."
