Chapter 34 Chapter 4 Black Bear Spirit - The Traitor Among Monsters

In the book, the monster that the author admires the most from the beginning to the end is the black bear spirit in Batu Caves. Compared with his family member of Shuangchaling, this bear is many times superior. The black bear spirit is an out-and-out grassroots monster, but it is undoubtedly one of the most successful grassroots monsters. He is powerful but low-key and good at using tricks; Monsters, but they rarely have the heart to do evil, live in the wilderness, but can know the destiny and respond to the destiny, it is really a villain in the world of demons that cannot be underestimated!

For ordinary monsters, they only know that the moon is dark and the wind is high all day long, that they kill people and sell goods, they never understand etiquette, justice, and shame, and they have never studied or read. But the black bear spirit is different. Although the black bear spirit is not good-looking, it is Knowledgeable and courteous, gentle and polite. (Wukong) Open the box and look at it. It really is an invitation card.The post reads: "The waiter Xiong Wei bowed his head and opened the alchemy room of the old master of Jinchi: he has repeatedly received good benefits, and he is grateful to Yuan Shen. Looking at the difficulty of returning to salary at night, if there is no rescue, forgive the immortal machine and there will be no other harm. Occasionally, I got a piece of Buddhist robes, and I want to make an elegant meeting. I would like to have a flower cup, and I will give you a clear reward. At the end of the day, a thousand begging immortals will come and have a narration. It is a lotus. I will wear it two days ago."

This post was written by Hei Xiongjing to Elder Jinchi, look at this literary talent, look at this wording, the author can't help feeling ashamed after reading it carefully.Just looking at one invitation card, one can deduce that this black bear spirit must be brilliant in writing, polite, humble and graceful, and can be said to be the most graceful of all monsters. The posts written by Hei Xiongjing are elegant and outstanding, and the place where they live is even more unique, which is beyond the comparison of the bloody and rainy caves of ordinary monsters. The traveler entered the front door, but saw that in the well that day, there were green pines and bamboos, peaches and plums competing for beauty, clusters of flowers and hair, clusters of orchid fragrance, but it was also a cave.I also saw a couplet on the two gates, which read: "Secretly hidden in the mountains without worldly worries, living in a secluded fairy cave with joy and innocence." The traveler secretly said: "This fellow is also a monster who is free from dirt and dust and knows his fate."

Sun Wukong was a person who had lived in Huaguo Mountain in the blessed land of Dongtian for a long time before, and lived in the Heavenly Court for a long time. Dust, a monster who knows fate", these words came out of the mouth of the always conceited Monkey King, and the image of the black bear spirit immediately became taller. Let's look at the ability of the black bear spirit again. Monkey King and the black bear spirit have played against each other three times.The first time Black Bear Spirit was very poor, and his performance was disappointing. He was scared away by Monkey King without even hitting him, and let Monkey King kill one of his friends in seconds. (The traveler was looking at the mountain scenery, when he suddenly heard someone speaking in front of the grassy slope. But he sneaked lightly, dodged under the rocky cliff, and watched with stealthy eyes. It turned out to be three demons, sitting on the ground. The one at the top was a black man On the left is a Taoist, and on the right is a white-clothed scholar, all of whom are talking loudly there. The traveler must have heard the words of the Buddha's clothes and thought it was his treasure, so he couldn't help being angry, jumped out of the rocky cliff, and raised his golden Hoop the stick, and shouted: "I will blame you gang! You stole my cassock, what kind of Buddhist clothes are you going to do! Return it to me as soon as possible!" With a shout: "Stop!" All of a sudden, the black man fled in a panic, and the Taoist rode away on a cloud, only killing a gentleman in white with a club, and dragged him over to see what happened, but it turned out to be a white-flowered basilisk.)

In the second fight, Lao Hei finally felt confident in front of his own cave, and fought with Monkey King for more than ten rounds, regardless of the outcome. . (The monster fought with Xingzhe for more than ten rounds, and there was no winner. When it was getting red, at noon, the black man raised his gun and put the iron rod in place, and said: "Sun Xingzhe, I will retreat for the two of you. When I have dinner, Let's gamble with you again." The traveler said: "You evil animal, how can you teach me to be a man? A good man, you have to eat in half a day? It seems that the old grandson has lived at the foot of the mountain for more than five hundred years, and he has never tasted any soup. Are you hungry there? Don’t blame it, don’t go! Give me back my cassock, so you can eat!” The monster fired a false shot and retreated into the cave.)

The third time they played against each other, the fight was wonderful, and there was a faint trend of a tie, but the Black Bear Spirit still couldn't adapt to the protracted battle, and finally used the excuse of going home after dark, and stopped fighting behind closed doors. (Wukong has few changes in the world, and monsters and supernatural powers are rare in the world. This one wants to celebrate his birthday with a Buddhist robe, and the other one will return home without a cassock? This hard battle is hard to part, and even the Living Buddha can't get rid of the siege. The two of them fought up the mountain from the entrance of the cave. Fighting from the top of the mountain outside the clouds, blowing fog and blowing wind, flying sand and flying stones, fighting until the red sun sinks to the west, regardless of victory or defeat. The strange man said: "Your surname is Sun, hold your hand. It's late today, it's not easy to fight each other. .You go, you go! Come tomorrow morning, and we will make a deal with you." Walker shouted: "Son, don't go! If you want to fight, you should be like a fighter, and you can't push it away every night." Seeing that he is shameless, Just wanting to hit him with a stick, the black man turned back into the cave again in a gust of breeze, and closed the stone gate tightly to come out.)

In the three battles, the black bear spirit performed better each time. From the first run away, to the last day of the fight, it was completely different. Could it be that there is no secret behind it? Black Bear Spirit has a good background, which is definitely unmistakable, but if he is really strong enough to draw a tie with Monkey King, why did he run so hastily at the beginning with his partner present, even Don't care about your friend's life or death? In fact, there are articles in it.The author speculates that when Black Bear Jing first appeared on the stage, his ability was much worse than that of Monkey King, but after two battles, Black Bear Jing slowly caught up. He learned from the battle and specially targeted Sun Wukong studied the combat strategy, so he became stronger and stronger, and once he found out that he had a flaw and was about to lose, he quickly found an excuse to stop the war and went back to study again.

From this point of view, the black bear's high comprehension is probably not inferior to Monkey King, and his scheming is not inferior to Monkey King. When Tang Seng asked Sun Wukong: "How are your means better than him?" to you." A black bear spirit who has opened up a piece of heaven and earth in the barren mountains and wild mountains and practiced to such an extent is indeed worthy of people's admiration. He has no treasures, no reinforcements, and all rely on his own true ability. monsters.And this is also the basic condition necessary for being a traitor. From the three battles, for the first time, the black bear spirit and other three monsters were frightened away by Sun Wukong and killed one, which can be said to be very embarrassing.The second time, although the black bear spirit and Sun Wukong had a dead end, they asked to stop the fight and asked to go back to eat. He can go back to his mountain field.In contrast, when Sun Wukong made troubles in the Heavenly Palace, he almost fought with the heavenly soldiers and generals, Erlang God, etc., but he still did not lose his strength. As I said, people have not eaten a decent meal for five hundred years, and they still survived. If you don’t eat for an afternoon, you can’t do it. This is the difference in cultivation.The third time, almost the same as the second time, the Black Bear Spirit again took the initiative to strike, the reason being that it was getting dark and it was not good to entertain you.

Sun Wukong thinks that his ability is not much stronger than that of the black bear spirit. Guanyin Bodhisattva said that the supernatural power of the black bear spirit is no less than that of Sun Wukong. We can roughly make the following comparison: First, the courage, the black bear spirit is very good at using the moves in the thirty-six strategies, which is much worse than Monkey King; Second, in terms of physical strength and endurance, Black Bear Spirit is even worse than Monkey King; Third, in terms of martial arts, the two are almost the same, at least there are no major flaws in the two battles;

Fourth, in terms of internal cultivation, of course, Sun Wukong, who has received formal education from Patriarch Subhuti, has eaten elixir, flat peaches, and drank royal wine, is much better than black bear spirit; In the end, Sun Wukong is also obviously the winner in other aspects such as maneuvering, flexibility, etc. But the black bear has no magic weapon, and is useless as a helper. He fought head-to-head with Monkey King three times, which made Monkey King useless to take advantage of the slightest advantage, and made Monkey King helpless. In a word, the black bear is treacherous, and this guy knows the art of war.

First of all, Black Bear knows the truth of "know yourself, know the enemy, and win a hundred battles", so when he was fighting with Monkey King, he had a clear understanding of Monkey King's details.When the black bear confronted Sun Wukong for the first time, the black bear asked: "Where did you come from? What is your name? What kind of tricks do you have? How dare you wait for the wild words!" The traveler said: "You can't even recognize your grandfather. Li! Your old grandfather is the apprentice of Master Sanzang, the former imperial brother of the Tang Dynasty. His surname is Sun, and his name is Wukong Xingzhe. If you ask Lao Sun about his methods, he will teach you to lose your soul and die before your eyes!" The strange man said: "I never met you, If you have any means, let me tell you." So Sun Wukong continued to report his resume clearly, and Hei Xiong was secretly shocked when he heard it, and at the same time, he was elated. The one who was surprised was that Monkey King was powerful, and the one who was happy knew everything. The best thing to do is to kill him if you can beat him, but if you can't beat him, be prepared to run away.This is why the black bear can run so neatly every time, and the reason why Monkey King has nothing to do. Second, the black bear spirit knows how to attack the mind. Like Zhuge Liang, it can stimulate the opponent in front of the battle.After hearing Sun Wukong's self-exposed resume, the black bear spirit laughed in front of the little monsters all over the mountains and plains: "So you are the Bi Mawen who troubled the Heavenly Palace?" With this sound, he was furious in his heart, and cursed: "You villain! If you don't return the cassock after stealing it, you will hurt the master! Don't go, watch the stick!"One sentence from the black bear spirit made Sun Wukong anxious, swayed, and very annoyed.But the black bear spirit waited for the rest of the day, took his time, and greeted him with a gun.One is restless and the other is calm, of course the black bear spirit can get a lot of money. Third, the black bear spirit is good at using turtle tactics, and bravely admits counsel at critical moments. I am counsel, what do you do with me?Hei Xiongjing knows himself and the enemy, and retreats when he knows difficulties. When he can hold on, he will hold on. If he can't hold on, he will run. The excuse for running is either because he is hungry or it is dark. In short, it makes you laugh and cry.He also takes advantage of the right time, place, and people, just to spend time with you, Monkey King, anyway, you are in a hurry, I am not in a hurry, the cassock is here with me, you come and find it, come and find it.This reminds me of Sima Yi's battle against Zhuge Liang in Wuzhangyuan. Sima Yi couldn't beat Zhuge Liang, so he retreated to the barracks and didn't fight. Zhuge Liang sent women's clothes and jewelry to insult him, but he didn't come out. What's the matter?The principles of these two things are basically the same. Zhuge Liang was exhausted to death in the end, and Monkey King was so angry that he almost didn't go crazy.However, Sun Wukong was luckier than Zhuge Liang and was able to invite Guanyin Bodhisattva, so he finally won. The last point is what the author said in the previous article. The black bear spirit is especially able to dig out things that are beneficial to him from his opponents. He understands the principle of constantly absorbing experience in battle and improving his own strength, so he can also make great progress. The treacherous black bear finally made Sun Wukong helpless, so he had to invite Guanyin Bodhisattva to come out of the mountain. If the author is not impressed by the fact that the black bear spirit can gain an advantage by tricks when dealing with Sun Wukong, then he can still play well with Guanyin Bodhisattva, and finally achieve a positive result. It can be said that the black bear is not easy up. The final ending of the black bear spirit was accepted by Guanyin Bodhisattva, which can be said to be a very rare treatment for grassroots monsters. Guanyin took in two along the way, one was the black bear spirit and the other was the red boy. Because the Niu family is powerful, rich and powerful, it is conceivable that the red boy was taken in by Guanyin Bodhisattva as a boy of good fortune. , Bold speculation. First, let’s talk about the speculative behavior of the black bear spirit. The black bear spirit knows that being a demon in the lower realm is not a long-term solution, and it may be cleaned up one day, so the black bear spirit is very good at disguising, it is also a talker, and it is also a study of cultural etiquette, which not only occupies a geomantic treasure He practiced and deliberately made friends with Elder Jinchi, the abbot of Guanyin's lower court. This is a speculative behavior that Hei Xiong took the initiative to express his favor to Guanyin Bodhisattva!Elder Jinchi is the host of the Guanyin Hospital. Respecting the elder brother of the host is an indirect way of showing favor to Guanyin. This flattery is not only loud, but also has no trace. Comrade Guanyin saw that this monster is so powerful, and it is even more rare that there is such a tall one Political consciousness, that must be a good seed that can be cultivated. In fact, we can see from the novel that the black bear spirit is somewhat afraid of Elder Jinchi.When Sun Wukong turned into Elder Jinchi to find the Black Bear Spirit, the little demon opened the door. Seeing his appearance, he hurriedly turned around and reported, "My lord, Elder Jinchi is here." Please send a letter to invite him. How can he come so quickly before he arrives there? I think the younger one never bumped into him, and Sun Xingzhe must have called him to ask for cassocks. If you are in charge, you can hide the Buddhist robes Don't teach him to see." The black bear is a goblin, and Elder Jinchi is a mortal, yet the monster is afraid of a mortal coming to ask for the cassock, why? The reason is very simple, Elder Jinchi's master is Guanyin Bodhisattva, so the black bear essence must curry favor with Elder Jinchi and not offend Elder Jinchi.This is a necessary preparation for Hei Xiong's speculation, and he wants to show his favor to Guanyin. Some people may say that the black bear spirit has a good friendship with Elder Jinchi. The two exchanged their practice experience, and Elder Jinchi still lived an immortality. Really?Does the Black Bear Spirit really respect Elder Jinchi?The answer is of course no. When the Guanyin Temple was on fire, the black bear spirit was originally going to fight the fire, but when he saw someone (Monkey King) watching the fire, he gave up and stole the cassock. Therefore, any exchanges and friendships are all fake, and the respect and friendship Hei Xiong has for Elder Jinchi are all aimed at Guanyin Bodhisattva. And this kind of flattering of Guanyin proved to be very useful, and the black bear was finally sent away by Guanyin and became a positive result. Hei Xiong Jing is able to speculate successfully. In addition to the correct direction of speculation, he does have good personal conditions. He is gentle, capable, and knows his destiny. This can also add a lot of points to him. In the end, when he was recruited by Guanyin, the black bear spirit did not forget to play tricks. He clearly wanted to convert, but he acted as if he was struggling to resist. When he was tortured by Guanyin's curse, he said, I surrender, I surrender.The advantage of doing this is that Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva will not be suspicious. Otherwise, as soon as Avalokitesvara appears, the black bear will say that I surrender, and Avalokitesvara will definitely suspect that he deliberately set up a trap. So, our Comrade Black Bear Spirit was successfully recruited. Before the end, the author would like to say that Sun Wukong may have seen through the wishful thinking in Hei Xiong's meticulousness, or that Sun Wukong is a hero and cherishes heroes. Hei Xiongjing kept the door closed several times and did not fight, but Sun Wukong unexpectedly did not go to break the mountain gate , and with the skills of the black bear spirit, Sun Wukong can basically handle it by himself. The black bear spirit has no magic weapon or foreign aid. Ding Liujia and Gujiao Jialan yelled out to surround him, and they could kill him, but Monkey King didn't do that. One day later, when Sun Wukong went to find Guanyin, the black bear put on a hardcover and said, "Stop first, don't you see me, the great guardian of the mountain?" Sun Wukong was in a bad mood immediately, and cursed: "You idiot, bear! Without the hard work of your brother back then, how could you be where you are today?" Black Bear Spirit hurriedly apologized, and said: "Brother Monkey, let's not talk about it, it's all in my heart, it's all in my heart!"
