Bi Hai
Master of Kuye Temple
The monk's ruined body waits in the stream beyond the Smuggler's Tunnel, warded by a bell of golden qi.
In Combat
As his chants resound, a bell of golden qi descends over him, turning aside blade, fire, and water alike.
Three Bronze Men leap out to stand guard, striking in turn and never relenting until they are broken.
The Man
Bi Hai had long withdrawn from the world and wished only for peace across the realm, trusting that devotion to the Buddha's law could carry people through calamity.
But no temple wall shuts out the sound of greed, and he came to see that false teachings had already taken root.
When Master Bi Yuan called on him, he answered at seventy-odd years of age, hoping to open the eyes of the bewildered through faith.
The Remnant
He knew the Herald held villagers hostage and had set a trap, and walked into it anyway, trading himself for their freedom.
His body is bound, unable to live or die, yet a heart with somewhere to rest is not led astray by Phantom Arts; he burned himself as a lamp, and hopes the beads he left may still help the trapped see through the Five Aggregates.
