广智 Guangzhi
意气出毒谋，惹祸终自受。
天道虽不言，善恶必追究。
To prove his worth, he gave sinister advice,
Yet reaped the bitter fruits of his own vice.
Though justice remains silent, it never sleeps,
And when it strikes, no one escapes its reach.
广智幼时并非和尚，而是只极想做人的小狼妖。
他经常化形去镇上玩耍，却总被人们识破，受人追打。他向其他小妖询问缘由，众妖都道:“你虽变得像人，却没有人味，自然会被认出。你若想学做人，就该去人堆里待着，与人相处，学习他们的礼仪和习惯。他深以为然，跑去求大王成全。他的大王凌虚子与山中的黑熊精十分相熟，黑熊精就将其化作一个小和尚，荐给了一同论禅的金池长老做个弟子。
初时，庙里一众和尚都不喜欢他，时常戏弄他做耍。而他总是讷讷的，上当受骗。老和尚便给他取了法号叫广智，希望他机智敏锐，不再受同门欺负。在老和尚的关照教导下，广智真就学会了读书写字，清规戒律，慢慢融入了和尚之中。
某日，庙中来了师徒二人，一个是白面的胖和尚，一个是雷公嘴的毛和尚。他们带来了一件锦襕袈裟，是老和尚从未见过的异宝。老和尚一心一意地想要，广智想报答老和尚的恩情，就仔细替他谋算起来。
广智从未料到，只因自己的一念之差，红色的火浪，吞噬了他熟悉的整个禅院。其后，老和尚自戕，凌虚子死在了金箍棒下，连黑熊精也受降去了南海。他深觉自己连累了许多人，认定自己做人实乃惨败，便弃了和尚的身份，重回山中，照着老和尚教的佛法，好生悔悟去了。
在山中修炼的日子里，他仿照那夜所见漫山遍野的火浪，炼就了一门新兵器，名为“赤潮”。即使许多年过去，他仍能听到山中传来的呼唤：广智，广智！这究竟是谁，在不住地呼唤他?
In his youth, Guangzhi was not a monk but a little wolf guai who yearned to be human.
He often took human shape to play in town, but the people always saw through him and chased him away. When he asked the other yaoguais why, they explained, "You may look like them, but you don't act like them. That's why they know. If you want to learn to be human, go live among them. Spend time with them to learn their ways and manners." He took this advice to heart and begged his master to grant this wish. His master, old Lingxuzi, who was close to he Black Bear Guai in the mountain, agreed. The Black Bear Guai transformed the pup into a little monk and sent him to study under Elder Jinchi, an old friend.
At first, the fellow monks disliked him. They played tricks on him, and he always fell for it, slow and gullible as he was. Jinchi named him Guangzhi, "the Great Wisdom", hoping he would grow clever and sharp, so his fellow monks couldn't bully him. With Jinchi's care and teaching, Guangzhi learned to read, write, and abide by the monastic rules. Gradually, he assimilated into their ranks.
One day, two monks arrived at the temple. One had a fair, devout countenance, while the other had a face covered in fur. They possessed a wondrous treasure: the Kasaya of Eversparks. Jinchi had never seen anything like it before and longed for it desperately. Hoping to repay Jinchi's teachings and nurturing, Guangzhi devised a plan to acquire it for him.
Guangzhi never imagined his mistake would ignite red tides of flames that engulfed the temple he called home. Afterward, Jinchi took his own life, and Lingxuzi fell to the Jingubang. Even the Black bear Guai surrendered and was taken by Guanyin. Guangzhi saw how many had suffered for his sake, and knew he had failed utterly at being human. he shed his monk robes and retreated to the mountains, repenting with Jinchi's teachings.
In his years of practice in the mountains, he forged a new weapon inspired by the raging flames he saw that night. he named it "the Red Tides". Even to this day, after numerous years, he continues to hear a persistent call echoing through the mountains: "Guangzhi, Guangzhi!" Who could it be that keeps calling him?
