Chapter 131: Sun Wukong Battles the Six-Eared Macaque
Last time, we left off with the Black Bear Spirit telling the Six-Eared Macaque to wait while it climbed the mountain to see Wukong.
Upon reaching the gate of Water Curtain Cave, the Black Bear Spirit stated its purpose and only then did the little demons guarding the mountain go to find the Monkey King to pass along the message. Known for his impatience, Wukong received the news and with a somersault, descended from the mountain, landing right in front of the Black Bear Spirit.
"Heh heh, heh heh! You mangy bear, your headband’s actually been removed? I always said that if we ever met, I could help you remove that headband," said Sun Wukong.
"Wukong my brother, you jest. I had my own fortunate encounter, didn’t I?" replied the Black Bear Spirit.
"What brings you to seek out old Sun? You’re not here to repay a debt of gratitude, are you?" Wukong inquired.
A flash of cold light gleamed in the Black Bear Spirit’s eyes as it said, "I do have a matter for which I’ve come to find you."
Scratching his head and jumping up and down, Wukong asked, "What is it? Tell me. If it’s interesting, old Sun will help you out."
The Black Bear Spirit let out a strange laugh, "It’s not just interesting, it’s utterly thrilling!"
Wukong’s curiosity was further piqued as he urged, "Quick, speak up, speak up!"
The Black Bear Spirit said, "The Ancestral Demon Luo Hou has decreed that Guanyin’s fate has run its course. With the Deification Platform now erected, it’s time for her to face her calamity. I’ve come to invite you to join me in killing Guanyin."
Upon hearing this, Wukong’s eyes shone with a golden light as his Fiery Eyes with Golden Vision flickered incessantly. "Good, good, good! Just wait a moment, I will call Heaven-Defying Taoist, my brother; he’s been itching to kill Guanyin too!" exclaimed Wukong.
