青背龙 Cyan Loong
青锋宝剑唤龙光，独钓寒雪苦海上。
潜龙犹待飞天去，不堕凡尘英名扬。
With a sharp sword, Loong's Light it is called,
Fishing alone in the bitterness, nothing caught.
The hidden loong waits to soar the sky,
Infallen to the dust, its fame will fly.
青背龙径至小西天时，曾与黄眉有一面之缘。
他素不喜黄眉，深觉极乐法门是歪理。但他也知道，想留在小西天避灾就绝不可得罪黄眉，是以他说要在苦海上钓鱼，若能钓出活物，便是天意，他就拜黄眉为师。
黄眉知他不过使个缓兵之计，但觉他这说法有些趣味，便和他打了个赌赛。若青背龙自垂下杆去，能五百年不动，就将照鉴湖让与他修炼。若他动了，就是有意吓跑鱼儿，要捉他入袋中修行。
青背龙一口答应，将自己那柄龙光剑，化作一根无钩的钓杆，坐在龟背上，再没挪动过。
小妖们日日来龟背上瞧他，想着又冻又饿，他很快就会输。可每次来，都只瞧见他身上的积雪越来越厚，直至盖满了他的身形。
苦海无边，佛渡有缘。人人都争着上岸，却也有那痴的，愿意在苦中等待。等什么?想必是个不走捷径的心安理得。
The boundless Bitter Lake, the Buddha's ferry saves only the willing. Without the willingness, nothing can be done. Cyan Loong, fishing alone on Turtle General's back, is one such case.
When Cyan Loong arrived in the New West seeking refuge, he briefly encountered Yellowbrow. Disliking Yellowbrow's teachings on the path to bliss, which he deemed utter nonsense, he knew better than to offend him if he wished to stay in his domain. Thus, he claimed his intention to fish in the Bitter Lake. If he could catch a living thing, it would signify his bond with ultimate bliss, granting him the right to remain in the blessed land undisturbed.
Yellowbrow knew this was merely a stalling tactic but found the idea amusing and agreed to it, with one condition: once the fishing rod was cast, it could not be moved, so as the fisher. If he moves, it would prove that Cyan Loong had ulterior motives and was deceitful, and he would be immediately captured and sent to the dungeon.
Cyan Loong readily agreed and kept his word. He transformed his Loong Light Sword into a hookless fishing rod, sat on the turtle's back, and did not move again.
Every day, the lesser guais would come to the turtle's back to check on him, expecting that he would not last long in the cold and hunger. But each time they came, they only saw the snow accumulating thicker and thicker on his body until it completely covered him. The guais could not understand why he would endure such hardship when a simple bow, or a bit of minor contribution to Yellowbrow could earn him a comfortable life.
Ah, there truly are people in this world who would rather endure a thousand hardships than abandon their lofty aspirations. They carry a world of their own in their hearts, unmoved by their circumstances.
