The majestic journey to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures is just a choreographed drama full of transactions, compromises and helplessness. And do you know how the little people behind the big drama survive in the cracks.
The black bear spirit used a well-planned "stealing cassock" scam, using Buddhist treasures as bait, and the sight of the three realms as chess. He worked step by step, and finally won the favor of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and was named the God of the Mountain Guard. It seemed that he had escaped from a dead end, but in fact he was trapped in another prison, and freedom became the most luxurious sacrifice. However, the truth is far colder than imagined: the "perfect plan" he is proud of is just a trick in the chess game of gods and Buddhas. He thought he was a chess player, but in fact he never escaped from his destiny.
Should I live an elusive existence under the protection of gods and Buddhas, or should I break free from the shackles and exchange for a moment of freedom even if I burn out my cultivation? This life-focused game, this manipulated puzzle of Journey to the West, and the struggle and choice of a demon are tearing apart the darkness and desolation under the bright appearance of the Three Realms. If you were a black bear spirit, how would you give birth to your last child between survival and freedom?
