Chapter 7 Finding the Water Curtain Cave

The wind is mild and the sun is shining. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoHuaguo Mountain is fresh. After yesterday's fight between the hunter tiger and the hound, the faint smell of blood filled Huaguo Mountain all afternoon, and no one saw what kind of battle they had experienced, but everyone knew that it was not until the early hours of this morning that the smell of blood disappeared with the clear morning air.

The hunters fled with the remnants of the army, the tigers returned to Sanssouci Valley, the monkeys cleaned up all the corpses and took the weapons left in the jungle, and the hunters may no longer dare to easily invade Huaguo Mountain, and everything will be calm.

The stone monkey led a group of small monkeys and began a trek to find the Water Curtain Cave.

Yesterday, at the moment when the monkeys gathered, the stone monkey seemed to have gathered a lot of popularity through his impassioned speech, and in this case, he had to think about one of the plans in his mind in advance, that is, to find the Water Curtain Cave.

Now he has believed that this is Huaguo Mountain, but he is not sure that he is in "Journey to the West", so the best proof of this at the moment is whether the Water Curtain Cave really exists as recorded in "Journey to the West".

Yesterday he learned that in fact, the habitat of the monkeys is never fixed, and Huaguo Mountain has all kinds of hidden forces and various territorial ranges - such as yesterday's Sanssouci Valley, which is the territory of tigers, and no one can occupy it.

The stone monkey considered that if he found the Water Curtain Cave, the monkeys would have a place to be sheltered for a long time, and they could attack and retreat, which would also be their base camp after they truly became the Monkey King.

"We must find a place where there is a place to hide when it is windy, and it is good to survive in the rain, do you know if there is such a place in Huaguo Mountain?" Yesterday, the stone monkey instilled such a concept in the monkeys around him, hoping to get a response.

"It doesn't seem to be!" The little monkeys around him scratched their ears and cheeks.

"When we were in danger, we ran away as we did today." A little monkey said.

"At most, they set some traps on the road to lure the hunters through, but they are not fooled at all now."

"We really need a place like this."

"Oh." The stone monkey thought to himself, now that they had gradually entered his trap, "Would you like to follow me to find a place like this?" ”

When the three or four monkeys heard this, they lowered their heads and walked in the direction where the monkey boss had left.

"It is said that there is a huge waterfall here, and there is a cave behind the waterfall, called the Water Curtain Cave, and that place is extremely beautiful and charming, and it is very secretive, and it contains the objects we use in life, no one can find it, and we can use it as a place to live, to hide from foreign enemies."

The monkeys around him looked at each other, and a little monkey said: "There are hundreds of waterfalls in Huaguo Mountain, even if the water curtain cave you said is true, but how can we find it?" ”

Seven or eight more monkeys went in the direction where the monkey boss had left.

"Yes, yes!"

"If it didn't exist, wouldn't it be in vain?"

"But what if I find it?"

"Why do you say there is such a place?" A monkey cross-examined.

"yes, why do I say there is such a place?" The stone monkey thought to himself, this road to becoming the monkey king really did not seem to happen overnight, "Everyone must believe me, as long as the kung fu is deep, the hammer is sharpened into a needle." For our safety in the future, everyone must come with me to find it. ”

The stone monkey stood up and stood among the monkeys, shouting almost hoarsely.

No one responded, and no one was silent.

"Raise your hand if you're willing to follow me." The stone monkey continues to appeal.

When a large group of monkeys heard this, they left in the direction where the monkey boss had left just now, and the monkeys who stayed beside the stone monkey also hesitated. You look at me, I look at you, silent.

After a long silence, a little monkey raised his hand and said, "I'll go with you." ”

"I'll go too." A few more little monkeys echoed.

The stone monkey was overjoyed in his heart, and thought, these people who stay by their side and are willing to go with them must be supported well, thinking that they are cronies, and when I become the Monkey King, I must make them monkey generals......

But he was immediately disappointed, and when he looked around, he found that the monkeys that followed him could be counted with just his fingers, and most of them were small monkeys and old monkeys, and there were very few adult monkeys.

They may not be able to help along the way, and they may have to take care of them themselves.

The stone monkey was about to speak, when suddenly a small monkey said: "You led the hunter away today and saved us, I believe in you, you are now our boss." ”

"We're going to follow you, dead or alive."

"Whether the water curtain cave exists or not."

"Yes, we'll follow you!" The other monkeys present echoed and began to express their determination.

After listening to their words, he sighed with emotion, and the stone monkey's nose was sour, and then said: "If you don't find the water curtain cave, you will never stop." ”

"Never give up."

……

These four words that touched him still echoed in the stone monkey's mind, and now, for almost a day, they have been trekking day and night, and have passed more than a dozen waterfalls, but they have not found the water curtain cave.

Hunger, sleepiness, and confusion continue to ravage this army, and it is not an overnight thing to check all the more than 300 waterfalls in Huaguo Mountain.

But the stone monkey had to find it.

In this place where the law of the jungle eats the strong, and you will die at any time, it is better to gamble according to the plot of "Journey to the West......

The stone monkey has used "Journey to the West" as an outline to guide his actions, because other than that, the stone monkey really doesn't know how to do it.

The monkeys persevered for another three days, traveled more than 100 miles, searched for dozens of large and small waterfalls, and still did not find the water curtain cave.

The sun was rising, and soon it was noon, and the monkeys came to a mountain to perch, and the stone monkeys sat on the ground and looked into the distance, looking at the rolling Huaguo Mountain in the distance, and began to mutter, it turned out that the mountain they had always thought was actually a mountain range that stretched for thousands of miles. These days, I learned that there are at least 72 large mountains here.

"Big Brother Stone. Which direction should we go now? One of the little monkeys in the group gasped, and although he was tired for the past few days, he still believed in it.

The stone monkey looked into the distance, and suddenly a spirit was excited, and said, "Do you know where the largest peak of Huaguo Mountain is?" ”

An old monkey with brown fur and white eyebrows walked out of the group of monkeys and said, "The main peak of Huaguo Mountain is the Jasper Peak in the center, and it is also the largest mountain in Huaguo Mountain, but that place has always been the territory of the lion. ”

"A hundred years ago, there were no lions in Huaguo Mountain, and there were monkeys there."

"Are we going to that place?"

"What happened in Huaguo Mountain a hundred years ago?" The stone monkey asked this question again, and he looked nervously around the group of monkeys, hoping to get an answer, but everyone looked at me and I saw you all shook their heads.

Obviously, none of the monkeys present were yet 100 years old.

"I was young, and it was said that there was a big war." The old monkey with brown fur and white eyebrows said.

"The Great War?" The stone monkey was surprised.

"Let's find the Water Curtain Cave...... I feel like you've been tricked by your boy,...... said one of the adult monkeys, standing up and angrily.

"Let's go to Jade Peak now, I have a hunch that the Water Curtain Cave is there." The stone monkey said firmly.

"You have a hunch every time that the Water Curtain Cave is there, but now? How many times have we run empty? The adult monkey just now had golden eyes and rushed over, ready to make a move on the stone monkey.

"If you don't want to follow me, you can also go." The stone monkey did not show weakness, and glared angrily at him.

The old monkey grabbed the adult monkey and motioned for him to suppress his emotions. This did not seem to work, and soon the group of monkeys divided into two camps, a group of monkeys came behind the stone monkeys, and a group came behind the adult monkeys just now.

The smell of gunpowder is full. Ready to dry.

"The big picture is important, the big picture is important." The old monkey with brown hair and white eyebrows thumped his chest in anger.

…… Half an hour later, the improvised group of monkeys, after a four-day trek and exhausted monkeys, headed towards the Jasper Peak in the center of Huaguo Mountain.

After another day and night, they finally came to the foot of the main peak, Jasper Peak.

The clear spring water flows from the mountainside and merges into a stream at the base of the mountain, and tired monkeys flock up to the stream.

They chased and fought in the stream, and the fatigue and unpleasantness of five days dissipated in an instant.

"The water quality here is good, is it because of the waterfall on the mountainside?"

A little monkey took a handful of water from the stream and said happily.

According to the experience of these days, there is such a huge stream here, then the waterfall on the mountainside will also be wider and larger.

The stone monkey took a handful of the stream water and drank it, poured it into the stream, and let the water water water his body, and a cool feeling penetrated his body.

The stone monkey thought that above the stream, there must be the waterfall that hid the water curtain hole. It will be exactly the same as recorded in "Journey to the West".

For some reason, the stone monkey had an extremely strong premonition at this moment.

"Whoever has the ability, go in to find a source and come out without hurting the body, I will worship him as the king!"

The stone monkey was lying in the stream with a faint smile on his face.
