On the coast of the East China Sea, there is a small country with a large area of mountains and forests near the sea, called 'Huaguo Mountain'. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info This mountain forest is full of strange stones, each of which is different. Among them, there is a mountain peak that is very special, the peak is hundreds of zhang high, although it is not extremely high, but the peak wall of the peak is like a knife and an axe, smooth and straight. There is also very little vegetation growing on the peaks, with only a few sparse green vines growing upwards around the peaks. The mountain peaks are steep and difficult to climb, and only the apes in the mountains can find the crevices and green vines to climb up and down.

On the top of this mountain, there is a lone boulder, and there is nothing else next to the boulder, and it is difficult to find even a small grass around the boulder. According to legend, this stone is a spiritual stone left by the ancient immortals, and this mountain peak is also named 'Lingshi Peak' from this stone. Lingshi Peak is on the edge of this mountain forest, more than ten miles away from Lingshi Peak, there is a small mountain village, this village is called 'Lingshi Village', and most of the people in the village are hunters and medicine pickers.

However, it is said that this spirit stone has gone through hundreds of thousands of years, and has been nourished by the sun and the moon at the top of the peak, and it has been conceived with a trace of spiritual consciousness in the stone.

But when the spirit is about to take shape, it will inevitably attract the heavenly tribulation and thunder punishment, and this stone is not immune.

On this day, the thunderclouds rolled, only gathered within the radius of the Lingshi Peak, at the beginning the thunder and lightning were only the thickness of a finger, and then it was like a child's arm, and finally the arc as thick as a bucket poured down, all hitting the Lingshi. Although the poor spirit stone has just formed its spiritual sense, how can it be trapped and have nowhere to hide in the stone, so it can only be hard. In the end, he couldn't withstand the last wave of thunderstorms, and there seemed to be an unwilling howl between heaven and earth, the spirit stone shattered, and a wisp of nascent spiritual consciousness was instantly erased by this blow. After the spirit stone shattered, the thunderclouds were incessant, and the bombardment lasted for another half an hour before gradually dispersing.

When all the dust settled, there was a figure under the mountain peak, climbing up along the cracks and vines of the cliff wall, and the speed of the body was simply more agile and brisk than that of an ape. When I climbed to the top of the mountain, I saw that this was an eight or nine-year-old child. The child was small and thin, his clothes were tattered, but his face was ruddy, and his eyes were shrewd and playful. He looked at the gravel pile nervously for a while, and then kept rummaging through the rubble with his hands and feet, and kept saying in his mouth: "It's broken, it's broken, it's terrible, don't split it." After searching for a while, I finally found a pile of charred things under the rubble, and Ishi could make out some herbs, but it was useless. The child said bad luck in annoyance, threw aside the blackened herbs, angrily kicked several pieces of gravel under his feet, and finally sighed helplessly, turned around and was about to leave.

Just as he was about to turn away, he suddenly noticed a little light flickering in the rubble. The child walked over curiously and picked it up to take a look. It turned out to be a stone the size of an egg, and the surface of the stone was colorful, and under the sunlight, the colorful colors seemed to flow, and it was very beautiful. The child liked it very much, so he put it in his arms, and then left satisfied.

On the edge of Lingshi Village, there is a family, a thatched house, and a fenced courtyard wall. It looks a little poor, but it's also clean and tidy. An old man sorts out the cold and sun-dried herbs in the courtyard. At this time, a boy ran from a distance, called "grandpa", and then did not go through the gate, but directly climbed over the fence wall.

The old man didn't look back, and scolded with a smile: "You little monkey, how many times have you told you, you want to go through the door, why don't you remember." ”

The child smiled and scratched his head and said, "Hey, hey, hey, isn't it convenient to walk through the door?" ”

The old man smiled and said, "It's not wrong to call you 'Monkey', you are just a little monkey." ”

"That's right, grandpa, something happened, there was thunder in the sky just now, and the spirit stone on the spirit stone peak was shattered."

"Oh, really? I said how the clouds were just now, and the lightning and thunder were roaring. I'm going to have to rain, and it's sunny again. The old man seemed to have realized something, and muttered, "It seems that this Lingshi Village will be renamed in the future." ”

"It's a pity that my herbs were put under the spirit stone, and they all suffered. "The child was talking when he suddenly felt a pain in his head and immediately jumped away with his head in his hands.

It turned out to be an old man, and he knocked a 'violent shudder' on the head of this child called 'Monkey'. "You kid, you're going to climb the Spirit Stone Peak again. Every year, there are herb pickers who accidentally fall down from that mountain, and you still go to climb it, so you don't want to die. ”

"It's okay, don't you know my skills? I can climb up and down even if I close my eyes. Besides, the herbs that my monkeys found were all placed on the Spirit Stone Peak, and of course I had to go and get them back. ”

"Then be careful, what if you have to fall." After that, he smiled and said: "It's also funny, these wild monkeys in the mountains really listen to you, you actually taught them to collect medicine, and no one believes them when you say it." ”

"Of course I'm obedient, am I their boss? I remember when I was a child, in the mountains, they always found trouble for me, and robbed me of things to eat, now that I have grown up, they can't run away from me, and they can't beat me, of course they don't dare to provoke me, two years ago, I used Uncle Wang's trap to kill the mountain leopard, and also saved their monkey king, they recognized me as the boss. They are very smart, I have only taught them a few times about these herbs, they will recognize them, usually when they are playing in the forest, they will help me pick them when they see them, put them on the Lingshi Peak, and I will take them down when I have time. ”

"Thanks to you monkey friends, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to pick so many good herbs." As he spoke, he pulled the monkey into his arms, touched his head caressingly, and said, "Monkey, it's been more than four years in a blink of an eye, and when I saw you in the woods, I was really shocked." You're skewering around the woods naked, and you still have such a big mouth, if you don't babble and talk a few words, you really think you're a little monster. ”

"If my grandfather hadn't picked me up, I wouldn't have survived until now. At that time, when I was hungry in the mountains, I would find some fruit to eat, and hide from those mountain leopards and wolves all day long. At that time, the wild monkeys were bullying me all day long. ”

"Now, they're all your men. I have also inquired around after I picked you up, but there are no families in the surrounding villages who have lost their children, and I really can't find your family, so I have left you with me as a lonely old man. ”

"By the way, grandpa, I found a treasure in the pile of spirit stones that were chopped up." As he spoke, the monkey took out the multicolored stone from his bosom and showed it to his grandfather.

The old man took the stone and looked at it again, and found that the stone was not jade, but the surface was warm and smooth, and there were colorful streamers flickering slightly. The old man didn't know this stone, but when he thought about the fact that the heavenly thunder smashed the spirit stone, he vaguely felt that this stone was not simple. Then he said to the monkey, "O monkey, you may have found a treasure, although I do not know what kind of stone it is." But legend has it that if there is any spirit in this world to be generated, God will send down thunder to test it, you say that this is picked on the spirit stone peak, it may be that the spirit stone is going to become a spirit, but it was killed by the thunder, and this stone is left after the stone spirit died. ”

"That's not very valuable, we sell him and we can buy a lot of delicious food."

"Little kids, just want to eat." The old man said with a smile, then took out a small cloth bag on his body, found a thin rope, put the stone into the bag, tied it with a thin rope and tied it to the monkey's neck, and then said, "This stone can't be sold casually, it is destined for you, and you will pick it up." You are still young, and you can't let you live in this small place with me, an old man, for the rest of your life. When you grow up, you'll definitely go outside, and at that point, this stone might come in handy. ”

"No, grandpa, I'll never leave you." As he spoke, the monkey hugged the old man.

"All right, all right," said the old man, caressing the monkey's head, "until you grow up." Monkey, this stone must be put away and not shown to others. ”

The monkey nodded heavily, then put the bag in his arms and put it away. The old man smiled with satisfaction: "That's right, tomorrow I will go to the town with my grandfather to sell the herbs, and then I will buy you delicious ones." ”

"Okay," the monkey cheered, jumped up, and helped the old man to collect the cold and dried herbs.
