Non-Able Yaoguai Chiefs
Location
Near the Forest of Felicity shrine in the Valley of Ecstasy area.
Description
Non-Able was unmatched in his martial arts skills, with no one in the temple able to rival him.
One day, 
Yellowbrow summoned him and offered to teach him some skills. However, Non-Able replied, “Master, I believe my martial arts are sufficient to overcome any foe. There is no need for other skills.”
Yellowbrow laughed and said, “Your straightforward approach shows a lack of adaptability. How can you progress further if you bind yourself in such a way?”
Non-Able responded, “Master, if I use methods I do not believe in to achieve victory, even if I win in the end, I will still feel like I did not win the fight and unable.”
Yellowbrow asked, “Do you not agree with your master’s path?”
Non-Able replied, “Master, you have always taken the clever route, which is why it is difficult for you to attain Buddhahood. It seems you can do everything, but in reality, you can do nothing.”
Non-Able chuckled softly at this and ordered Non-Able hands to be tied behind his back, instructing him to reflect on his actions in front of the stone wall outside the temple. He thought that after a few days of kneeling, Non-Able would let go of his stubbornness. However, Non-Able remained resolute and, to this day, refuses to bow his head.
Poetry
Amidst the snow, a monk so strange,
Before the wall, in northern winds’ range.
With martial arts, he seeks true Zen,
Bind his hands, but not his spirit then.
