2. Character introduction

The Black Bear Monster was originally a black bear. He lived in the Batu Cave in the Black Wind Mountain. He practiced for many years and became a spirit monster. He used a black tasseled spear and was good at changing. The means are also very powerful. The two masters and disciples of Tang Monk passed by Guanyin Temple for Buddhist scriptures, but were set on fire and murdered by the greedy and foolish elder Jinchi. The black bear spirit went to put out the fire, but when he arrived, he took advantage of the fire and stole the precious brocade cassock given to Tang Monk by Tathagata Buddha. Sun Wukong fought with him many times but failed to get it back, so he had to seek help from Guanyin Bodhisattva in the South China Sea. Guanyin Bodhisattva transformed into Ling Xuzi, a friend who went to bless the black bear monster, and offered elixir as a birthday gift. The black bear spirit swallowed the elixir of Sun Wukong's transformation, but the pain caused him to reveal his true form. The Bodhisattva retrieved the Buddha's robes for Tang Monk, and subdued the black bear monster with one of the three golden hoops, converting him to Buddhism and receiving ordination at Moding. After guarding Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea, he became the guardian of the mountain.
