海上僧 Monk from the Sea
苦海无边岸，登舟欲度身。
功成不择手，终究难成人。
Bitter Lake's expanse, no end in sight,
The ferry of enlightenment, he sought day and night.
Low means may tempt, but yield no gain,
True greatness takes flight, in honor's domain.
昔年，黄眉乘楼船过苦海，下船时发现船身上爬着些怪鱼。这种名唤何罗的鱼，只有一个头，却有十个身子，狰狞怪异。
那些鱼见黄眉过来，竟主动叩拜，发出些喊声，原是想追随黄眉，脱离苦海。黄眉笑道:“汝等怪形怪貌，换作他人，定不会收。偏生是我，觉那凡夫俗子收了，又有何趣?”语毕，真就将这些怪鱼收作了弟子教他们穿衣识字，收敛身形，化出人样，平日任他们在小西天境内自由修行。
有一只鱼妖，身形最为健硕，性子也最为乖戾。初通技法后，便埋伏在庙中各处，伺机偷袭黄眉，出手毫不留情。黄眉却乐在其中，每每遇到都认真与他赌斗，但大多数时候，只用那狼牙棒一挥，便将其扫了开去。
这鱼妖屡战屡败，自觉近身缠斗难以取胜，竟独自悟出一套用躯肢抛冰砸雪的歪门法术，打人奇准，一次在快活林，连黄眉也被雪球砸中了几回，差点被冻成冰坨。
黄眉不怒反喜，破天荒赐了这何罗鱼怪一个新名号——“海上僧”，命他平日就在内院负责清洁打扫，实则方便他偷袭任何想偷袭之人，尤其是黄眉自己。
咦，虽是跟着同样的师父，但因修习的心境和目的各有不同，待遇也总是千差万别哩。
Years ago, Yellowbrow crossed the Bitter Lake on a towered ferry. Upon disembarking, he discovered some strange fish clinging to the ship's hull. These fish, known as He Luo, had a single head but ten bodies, making them bizarre and fearsome.
When the fish saw Yellowbrow approaching, they wondrously bowed and made noises, indicating their desire to follow him and escape the Bitter Lake. Yellowbrow laughed and said, "With your strange forms, others would surely reject you. But I find it interesting to take in what ordinary people would not." With that, he accepted these strange fish as his disciples, clothed them, and taught them how to read and transform into human forms. He even allowed them to practice freely within the realm of the New West.
One of the fish guais was particularly robust and had a fierce temperament. After mastering some techniques, it would ambush at various spots in the temple, waiting for opportunities to attack Yellowbrow when he went out, striking without mercy. Yellowbrow, however, enjoyed these encounters and would seriously engage in combat with the fish guai. Most of the time, he would simply sweep it out of the hall with a swing of his Spikeshaft Cudgel.
Despite repeated defeats, the fish guai realized that close combat was futile. It independently devised a technique involving throwing snowballs with its limbs, hitting targets with uncanny accuracy. Once, in the Forest of Felicity, even Yellowbrow was hit several times by snowballs, nearly freezing into an ice block.
Instead of getting angry, Yellowbrow was delighted and unprecedentedly bestowed a new title upon the He Luo fish guai—"Monk from the Sea." He then assigned it the task of cleaning the inner courtyard, which conveniently allowed it to ambush anyone it wished to, especially Yellowbrow himself.
Ah, though they followed the same master, the disciples' experiences and purposes in their practice varied greatly, leading to vastly different treatments.
