Mount Lingtai Fangcun, Cave of the Slanting Moon and Three Stars.
She was Patriarch Bodhi’s first disciple, Wu Yan, and the first senior sister to hand that stone monkey a peach when he joined their sect.
She taught him to wear shoes and follow the rules. She watched him wreak Havoc in Heaven, then silently kept vigil for him outside Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years.
She waited for everything, but never learned the truth:
In the case of the True and False Monkey King, the Buddha delivered his verdict: “The real one stays; the fake one dies.”
The Six-Eared Macaque lived, while her junior brother died amid the silence of all the gods and Buddhas.
The Great Sage Equal to Heaven, so wild and proud, whose voice rang loudest when he called her “Senior Sister,” died in a deceitful scheme that had been set in motion from the very beginning of the pilgrimage.
Yin Heng stood beneath Five Elements Mountain and picked up the bloodstained golden cudgel. She did not cry.
She merely took up an old sword forged ten thousand years ago and coldly faced the gods and Buddhas filling the sky:
“I’ll collect my junior brother’s life, one life at a time.”
From then on, the Three Realms had a madwoman in their midst.
The Heavenly Court’s generals trembled, and the bodhisattvas of Spirit Mountain went into seclusion. The Jade Emperor smashed his imperial desk, and the Buddha closed the mountain gates.
Step by step, she went from Mount Lingtai Fangcun to Lingxiao Palace, with mountains of gods’ and Buddhas’ corpses beneath her feet.
Someone asked her, “What makes you think you can take on the entire Three Realms alone?”
She glanced back at the empty road behind her and smiled. “Because I’m his senior sister.”
