Chapter 223 - 224: Is it yours just because you wear it?
Sun Wukong’s voice echoed through Black Wind Mountain, and in an instant, as if piercing through space-time, it reached the interior of Black Wind Cave. If possible, the Monkey King still did not wish to resort to violence.
To a mere mortal, a common little demon, Sun Wukong simply could not muster any interest; more importantly, if it weren’t for his missing kasaya, he would not have even wanted to retrieve it.
The little demon guarding the door opened it and came out, frowning and shouting, "Who are you to come to the Immortal Cave and run wild!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong laughed and scolded, "You little demon, to dare call this broken place an Immortal Cave! Go inside and inform your Great King to quickly hand over Old Sun’s kasaya and spare your lives!"
Meanwhile, without needing the little demon’s report, the Black Bear Spirit had already heard the commotion outside.
Glancing to the side, he saw Elder Jinchi, who was indeed wearing the Brocaded Kasaya.
"Jinchi, did you not claim that this kasaya was a gift from Guanyin Bodhisattva? Why then is this monkey speaking thus!"
Panic flickered in Elder Jinchi’s eyes; he clutched the Brocaded Kasaya on his body, as if afraid someone would snatch it from him.
In a rush, he said, "Don’t listen to his nonsense; this kasaya is a gift from Guanyin Bodhisattva to me. Those two with the monkey are just a group of bandits. They coveted my kasaya, pretended to be monks, snuck into my Guanyin Zen Center, and, in order to steal my treasure, even set fire to my Zen Monastery. Utterly detestable!"
The Black Bear Spirit was naturally born in the wilderness but had a certain fondness for Buddhism; otherwise, he would not have such a good relationship with Elder Jinchi, to whom he even offered elixirs to prolong his life.
Having heard Elder Jinchi’s words, without a second thought, he decried the existence of such wicked people in the world and slapped his thigh, casually picking up a Black Tasseled Spear by his side.
