"It's absolutely true. Zhen Yuanzi's ginseng fruit tree was once knocked down, and Guanyin used willow branches and the nectar in the jade bottle to revive it." The black bear demon said with some pride.
"The living dead give birth to all things, the living dead..." Shen Luo muttered to himself, then his eyes suddenly lit up and he remembered something.
"Senior Dharma Protector, when Wei Qing colluded with the demons in Putuo Mountain Square and attacked the head of Qinglian Sect, he once mentioned a name called 'Sa Jinlin'. Do you know who this person is? Judging from the reactions of other elders of your sect, this name seems to be very important." He asked again immediately.
Bai Xiaotian and Nie Caizhu had also been curious about this matter for a long time, and they looked over when they heard it.
"Sprinkle golden scales!" The black bear demon's body shook and his face quickly darkened.
When Shen Luo saw this, he knew that his guess was correct. This Sa Jinlin was indeed involved in some important matters.
"Senior Dharma Protector, I don't know what this golden scales is involved with, but Putuo Mountain is in danger now. If we can find the reason why Wei Qing rebelled against the sect, perhaps we can find a chance of winning." Shen Luo bowed.
“Well, since Fellow Daoist Shen said so, I will not hide it any more. Sa Jinlin was a goldfish spirit on Mount Putuo many years ago. It awakened its spiritual wisdom after listening to the teachings of Patriarch Guanyin. It has profound cultivation and is a very kind person. It is quite loved by the disciples of Mount Putuo.” The black bear spirit sighed and said.
Shen Luo's eyebrows twitched, but he knew that the black bear demon must have some further words, so he didn't say anything and just waited quietly.
"Avalokitesvara is compassionate and has enlightened countless lives. His merits are immeasurable." Bai Xiaotian clasped his hands together and said with a look of respect on his face.
"If we talk about the matter of sprinkling golden scales, we have to start from more than a hundred years ago. At that time, the head of Mount Putuo was not Fairy Qinglian, but her senior sister Fairy Qingyue. During the Dragon Boat Festival that year, Mount Putuo held its annual disciple competition as usual. The disciples in the sect were examined for their progress in cultivation over the past year. For some ordinary errand disciples who have not yet become apprentices, it is even more important. Those who perform outstandingly in this assessment will be selected to join Mount Putuo and practice advanced Taoism. The competition was halfway through when something went wrong. A errand disciple actually used the inner sect Taoism of Mount Putuo and severely injured his opponent. The elders of Mount Putuo were furious and put the man in a water dungeon. Later, they decided to abolish his meridians and expel him from the mountain." The black bear demon said slowly.
"Just because a fellow disciple was injured in a competition, it is inappropriate to impose such a cruel punishment, isn't it?" Shen Luo frowned slightly.
"The reason why we impose such severe punishment on that menial disciple is not because he seriously injured his fellow disciple in a duel, but because he learned Taoism secretly. Mount Putuo is extremely taboo about stealing skills. Once discovered, the disciple's meridians will be abolished immediately and he will be expelled from the sect." The black bear demon explained.
“Although sects in various places are quite averse to stealing skills, this is a bit too harsh.” Shen Luo shook his head, not quite agreeing.
"Cousin, you don't know that the reason why we have such rules in Mount Putuo is because of an extremely bad Feng Feng incident that happened hundreds of years ago, which caused the entire sect to suffer a huge loss." Nie Caizhu on the side suddenly interrupted.
"The Feng Feng incident?" Shen Luo was stunned.
