Chapter 5: Mountain Monkeys
The morning in the mountains is a little cold, and the birdsong never stops, so it is a pleasure to listen to the morning birdsong up close.
When the wooden door was opened, the morning mist enveloped the entire mountain village, and the villagers in the village were still asleep. This situation and this scene are in response to the sentence "The winding path is foggy in the early morning, and the forest birds chirp in the empty valley." ”
The scenery in the ancient poems is the first time that Lin Dong really feels it, and it is far less comfortable than what he has seen. As usual, he stretched out and went back to the house and sat down cross-legged.
Lin Dong's feeling for the qi in his body is getting weaker and weaker, and if there is no way to control and channel it, this qi can only sink in the dantian like stagnant water, and even slowly dissipate little by little, Lin Dong, who discovered this situation, was impatient.
Lin Dong, who was in an irritable state, suddenly remembered something, the thirty-nine beast pills brought out from that inexplicable and wonderful ghost place. Lin Dong played with the beast pills for a while when he had nothing to do in that grassland, but he didn't know the use of these beast pills.
At this time, Lin Dong took out these beast pills from the straw bag again, and at this time, a bold idea appeared in Lin Dong's mind, boiled and ground it to see if it was useful. Thinking about it, Lin Dong started to do it.
I first went to the village elder Pu to borrow a pot, and then went to the mountain stream next to me to get half a pot of mountain spring. Making a fire seems to be the biggest trouble at the moment.
So, Lin Dong had no choice but to cheekily go to the village chief's house to inquire about how he usually makes a fire.
Looking at the stone flint in his hand, Lin Dong wanted to cry without tears, "This flint and steel?
After groping and testing for a while, Lin Dong lit the fire. Hurry up and return the stone sui, it's almost noon, and the old Pu family should be about to make lunch.
After returning the things and returning to the cabin where he was temporarily staying, the water was already boiling, and Lin Dong hurriedly chose one and put it in. I was afraid that this beast pill would not be cooked, so I didn't stop the fire until the water in the pot was almost dry.
Lin Dong took two suitable wooden sticks, washed them as chopsticks to take out the beast pill in the pot, and found a stone from the stream, washed it, and then crushed it with a stone.
It was almost with all his strength that Lin Dong crushed the beast pill. After crushing it, I wrapped it in a borrowed coarse cloth, and I tried to taste it first, and found that there seemed to be no problem, so I ate it little by little. Suddenly, Lin Dong felt that his stomach was suddenly full, and gradually something was wrong, starting from the dantian, Lin Dong's whole body began to become hot.
Lin Dong couldn't bear it anymore, although it wasn't serious before the seven orifices bleed, but the pain from the dantian made Lin Dong gradually lose consciousness.
When I woke up, it was already late afternoon. Although the village chief was puzzled when he saw that Lin Dong had not left the house for a day, he did not disturb him.
Lin Dong felt a chill in his back after he woke up, and he felt afraid, wouldn't it be too much of a loss if he really ate to death.
Lin Dong leaned on the side of the bed and gasped heavily, stunned there for a while.
The sky turned out to be darker and darker, until there was no light, Lin Dong eased up and hurriedly got up from the ground, and what Lin Dong didn't know was that this beast pill made Lin Dong directly step into the innate top grade.
The plan to go and see the neighboring village naturally failed, Lin Dong walked around the house, and the bored Lin Dong lay down again, waiting for the next day to come.
It was another early morning, but it was raining lightly. Looking at this gloomy weather, Lin Dong seemed to feel a little bad.
Opening the door, Lin Dong took a sharp breath.
I have been in this village for almost two days, but no villagers have met each other, and the village chief's house is more than 500 meters away from the villagers' residence. It's just that every day, I can see the villagers walking around and talking from a distance, but I haven't actually come into contact with them, and I don't know each other with the villagers.
Lin Dong lived in a small wooden house in the backyard of the village elder Pu's house, and when he saw Lao Pu hurriedly coming out of the house, he put a shabby coat on his body as he walked. "Come into the main house and take shelter," Lao Pu hurriedly waved his hand and shouted to himself.
Lin Dong hurriedly ran over, and as soon as he entered the house, Lao Pu hurriedly closed the door and nailed the window tightly with wood, and then Lao Pu and his eldest son lifted a large water tank full of water and carried it to the door with difficulty.
After the water tank sealed the door, Lao Pu wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hands.
"What's the situation," Lin Dong asked suspiciously.
"The mountain monkey came down the mountain, and just two hours ago, the hunters in the village who lived in the middle of the mountain came to report the news, and I hurriedly informed the whole village to seal the house," Lao Pu said as he slowly sat down on the chair next to the table.
"Looks like this kind of thing must have happened a lot before."
"Well, it's probably more than 20 years old, the first time this kind of thing happened 20 years ago, the village really suffered a lot of losses, and then the mountain hunters moved from the west to the east halfway up the mountain to monitor the movements of this group of mountain monkeys, basically at least nearly ten times a year. Once the fruit of the fruit trees on the mountain is not enough, this group of hateful monkeys will go down the mountain collectively, and these seven or eight villages in the mountain are their targets for grabbing food, although the hunters are taking a certain risk, but once the news is successful, the villagers will collectively thank them once."
"If the monkey can't grab something, will it go back?" asked Lin Dong suspiciously.
"In order to prevent this, it is natural that every family needs to gather in the square with some food, and each family will only give about a day's ration, which will not affect anything, but there are always some monkeys who like to break into the house and destroy the village, so at this time, we have to seal the door of the house to prevent the house from being destroyed by this group of damn monkeys" The village chief shook his head helplessly.
"Can't we get rid of these monkeys?"
"It's impossible," the old village chief picked up the bowl on the table, took a sip of water, and continued: "Don't you know, in order to drive this group of monkeys away, several villages really tried their best, and there were even two big villages that broke four innate powerhouses. Later, I heard from the people who came back alive that there were several beast-level powerhouses in the monkey group, so no one dared to go anymore, so they could only let the monkey group rob them. Fortunately, as long as it is handled properly, the loss is not worth mentioning."
"Is it a strange beast, what is it" asked if he didn't understand, Lin Dong had always been like this.
"Don't you know? It seems that you are a disciple of a wealthy family who has not come out of the closed door, and you know less about the martial arts world than us countrymen, and you don't know any martial arts in your hands, how dare you come out to practice. Well, in a few days, a caravan will pass by, and then you will be able to follow the caravan out of this mountainous area. ”
Lin Dong smiled awkwardly, and continued to ask with a dead face, "How can you bother the village chief to explain to me, I was just too annoyed by the closed life at home, so I secretly came out to relax." ”
"A strange beast is a beast that has cultivated the beast pill"
"Beast Pill?"
"Well, I've seen the beast pill at home"
"Ahh
"This kind of beast that cultivates the Inner Dan is extremely powerful, even if it is the most inferior first-grade beast, it is like slaughtering a dog, I probably heard that the first to third grade is equivalent to the Grandmaster Realm martial artist, and after the fourth grade, it is estimated that it will be in order, how dare we provoke a group of monkeys with several Grandmaster Realm level combat power"
"Tomorrow I want to go to the neighboring village to meet that lost fellow Taoist, is that okay?"
"Okay, then tomorrow I'll let the three babies take you, it's not far, and it's over a hill less than 100 meters, and you can get there in more than an hour."
"Then I can't thank you enough"
"It's okay, it's just a gesture, our small mountain village, there has been no catastrophe, outsiders are also very rare, you can come to us for a few days, we are naturally warmly welcomed"
"Hey, hey," Lin Dong smiled embarrassedly.
Riots have begun outside the door, "It seems that the monkeys are coming, don't make a sound, at most two hours, the monkeys will return to the mountains"
。。。。。。。
After the monkeys dispersed, Lin Dong walked around the village and greeted the people in the village.
Before you know it, it's night.
"Let's sleep, it's so boring, why don't you feel bored in that space, but if this beast pill is the same thing as the village chief's mouth, then I'll make a lot of money, it's exciting to think about." Lin Dong thought about it, and fell asleep.
