Chapter 28: Guanyin Tames Little Black Bear

While Lu Yu was instructing the future Empress, Monkey had already rushed to Mount Luojia in the South Sea. At this moment, he held himself high, looking as though he were about to discipline someone, and forcibly barged in despite the Mountain God's efforts to stop him.

Upon seeing Monkey, Bodhisattva Guanyin chuckled and asked, "You Monkey, instead of guarding Tang Monk on the journey to retrieve the scriptures in Western Heaven, why have you come to my Mount Luojia to cause trouble?"

Monkey replied, "My master encountered your Zen Temple where, sustained by the incense offered by mortals, you allowed a Black Bear Spirit to reside as a neighbor. He stole my master's kasaya and, despite several requests, did not return it. I am here specifically to ask you for it."
