Chapter 6 Arming the Monkeys
The stone monkey followed the little squirrel, moved about a dozen feet, suddenly remembered something, and jumped under the tree. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing this, the little squirrel turned his head and exclaimed, "You are crazy, why are you going back?" ”
The stone monkey ignored her, searched all the way to the ground, and even went straight back to the place where he had shot the tiger with his repeater just now, and the tiger's corpse was still exuding heat.
The stone monkey picked up from the tiger's carcass, picked up three or four crossbows in a row, carried them on his body, and picked up a few baskets of bows and arrows by the way.
"You carry these things on your body, and when the tiger comes, how are you going to run?" The little squirrel came to the branch next to the stone monkey and asked puzzled.
"It's okay," the stone monkey said lightly, "If I am destined to die, I will not be able to escape the catastrophe just now." ”
Yes, what fate is destined for, just imagine, how can people change?
If fate can change, then why is it called fate?
Destiny is the unchangeable ending you will eventually reach.
"You're optimistic," the little squirrel paused, "but when the tiger comes, I won't be able to help you anymore." ”
The stone monkey squinted at the little squirrel in the tree, did not speak, and thought, who needs your help.
"You want to use these weapons to arm the monkeys against the tigers and hunters, do you?"
"Yes," said the stone monkey, "with them, we will be able to protect ourselves." ”
"But will they use it? Is this a tool of humanity? ”
"But I ......" the stone monkey wanted to say, but I would use it, and they should use it, but it suddenly occurred to him that he had inherited the dual characteristics of monkeys and humans, and he could use it himself, but those monkeys might not be able to use it.
He suddenly remembered that the monkey boss and the others were carrying bows and arrows on their backs, and thought that it shouldn't be a big problem.
"Even if it doesn't work now, it will be when you get acquainted with it. And, I ...... They can be taught. ”
"You're the strangest monkey I've ever seen." The little squirrel said.
For some reason, the stone monkey used to be very wary of this squirrel, but now he has finally relaxed his guard against her.
It wasn't entirely because the squirrel had saved his life, he was now becoming aware of the little squirrel's cuteness, and perhaps she approached him out of curiosity and not with any ill will.
Even if she had any malice, what could she do?
The stone monkey walked all the way on the ground like this, and he didn't know how far he had walked, when suddenly the ground was full of messes, and the corpses of human beings with blurred flesh and blood broke into view, and the stone monkey was frightened, and instinctively dropped his weapon, not daring to step forward.
In this jungle where the stone monkeys are located, in addition to dozens of human corpses, there are also three tiger corpses, three hunting dog corpses, and the ground is full of human weapons, big knives, hooks and so on......
Obviously, this is the end of these hunters being chased by tigers and fighting each other.
All three species were defeated and wiped out.
As expected.
The stone monkey was about to walk forward, but he saw a tiger squatting on the ground, the tiger was not dead, and was looking at him with burning eyes.
The stone monkey staggered in fright, fell to the ground, grabbed the repeater he had just discarded, and aimed it at the tiger's head.
The stone monkey aimed at him, his palms sweating.
The moment their eyes met, the stone monkey felt the anger and hatred in the tiger's eyes, but he didn't pounce, because the stone monkey noticed that his body was covered in blood, and the back leg had been broken......
How much more can a tiger with a broken leg do?
The tiger suddenly mustered up his strength and roared in the sky, his eyes were still firmly fixed on the stone monkey, unyielding, as if to say, if you want to kill, you will kill, I will not give in......
"Monkey, don't," said the little squirrel, standing on the branch above his head, "he has no offensive power, and if you don't kill him, he will die soon, so let him go." ”
The stone monkey had a serious face, staring at the tiger tightly, and did not care about the little squirrel's words at all.
His eyebrows were sweating, and he aimed at the tiger's forehead, and his heart was beating wildly.
He was making the final struggle in his heart, the struggle between killing and not killing.
is like the struggle of King Qin at the end of the movie "Hero".
And just as the stone monkey was contemplating, the branches and leaves suddenly swayed in the bushes, and countless monkey heads emerged, many of which were more familiar to the stone monkey.
"Kill him, kill him."
"The stone monkey killed him, the stone monkey killed him." The monkeys in the trees shouted.
The stone monkey remembered the end of "Hero", and thousands of ministers chanted together: The king kills, the king kills.
"The king kills, the king kills."
He seemed to hear the call of the monkeys in the trees, and he was immersed in a psychedelic state.
If I were the Monkey King now, they would have shouted, "Kill, kill."
It turned out that he became a king and could decide the life and death of others.
"He caused us to hide in Tibet every day, and he caused us to have no homeland, so we killed him."
The voice from the tree continued, as if it were the voice of the monkey Xiaowu.
Stone monkeys are now in the spotlight.
It turns out that it is such a special and subtle feeling that can decide the life and death of others, the stone monkey is attacked by an unknown force, and before we can find a better word to describe it, let's call it desire.
Somehow, a strong desire to become the Monkey King suddenly rose in the stone monkey's heart.
Becoming the Monkey King was originally his ultimate fate as a stone monkey on Huaguo Mountain.
But in such a situation where you can die at any time, who knows?
The stone monkey began to have doubts about this fate, because everything that happened in the past few days was actually not like what was recorded in "Journey to the West".
And whether you can become the Monkey King or not depends only on your own creation.
Today, we must make decisions, we must dare to kill, we must restrain fear, we must break courage, and we must establish prestige.
Because after becoming the Monkey King, this kind of killing and deciding thing happens every day.
After a moment of thought, the stone monkey wiped his sweat and didn't think about it anymore, he stared at the tiger's eyes and gently pulled the trigger......
He saw with his own eyes that three arrows from the crossbow pierced the tiger's head like lightning......
The last breath of the tiger disappeared, and all the monkeys in the tree rushed to the bottom of the tree in an instant......
They came and held the stone monkeys aloft, and threw them into the sky, and they fell, and then they threw them into the sky.
The reason why they treat the stone monkey like this is because in their subconscious, they feel that the stone monkey saved them.
Because it was he who led away the hunters and caused the situation of the hunters and the tigers to fight. Finally rescued everyone.
Of course, the stone monkey didn't know all this, and the stone monkey enjoyed the feeling of being thrown into the sky, and silently thought in his heart, how good it would be if I were the monkey king......
After a period of bustle and commotion, the stone monkey calmly said to everyone:
"I've brought back the hunter's weapon, and everyone will learn to use the repeater from today, so we don't want to be bullied again."
"Don't be bullied......" the monkeys shouted.
The stone monkey said: "There are still many weapons and clothes in this area, so everyone should strip the clothes on the hunter's body and put them on, and don't be naked anymore, it is very dangerous, and it is easy to be scratched by branches; From today on, we will learn to use human things, learn to use bows and arrows, weapons, and in the future we will be able to make our own, and we must strive to protect ourselves, and we can't just know how to run away every time a disaster comes, and don't hide in the face of difficulties...... Let's put away the corpses of our comrades, wipe away our tears, and carry on the battle to defend Huaguo Mountain to the end......"
At that moment, the stone monkey seemed to really regard himself as the monkey king, and unconsciously began to give a speech, because he was a human being, and every word he said had never been heard of by the monkeys, and every sentence was undoubtedly creative, hitting the monkeys' hearts like a thunderbolt from the sky.
All the monkeys present began to be touched and impassioned, and seemed to be willing to let the stone monkeys lead everyone.
"Humph!" The monkey boss who led everyone to escape today witnessed all this in the jungle in the distance, snorted coldly, and led the monkeys around him to disappear.
Of course, the stone monkey did not see this scene at all, and after he finished his speech, he turned to look at the tree where the little squirrel was staying, and there was no longer a little squirrel on the tree.
"He's out of attack power anymore...... You let him go. ”
This sentence suddenly broke into the stone monkey's mind, echoed for a long time, and disappeared......
To kill or not to kill a person is indeed difficult to choose, just like Hamlet's life and death troubles.
But a person who achieves great things must be held accountable for his decisions.
At this moment, the stone monkey still has a long way to go, and he must have the courage to face everything.
The stone monkey stared for a long time in the direction where the little squirrel had disappeared, his gaze contemplative......
……
Although Huaguo Mountain has experienced a turmoil today, time is still flying, the sky soon darkened, the starlight flashed, and a huge banyan tree at the bottom of the Luoxia Peak of Huaguo Mountain greeted the starlight and was proudly independent...... On the branch of the old tree, suddenly a little brown-haired squirrel sprang out, she climbed down the trunk from the branch, shook her body, a burst of white smoke rose, after the smoke dissipated, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old pavilion girl dressed in white gauze suddenly walked out, she looked outstanding, graceful, under the starlight, the white gauze flashed light, a noble temperament highlighted, even if the palace is thousands of beauties, the sky is full of stars, can not hide her elegance......
"Di'er, you're here." A loud wheezing sound from the trunk of the old tree merged into these words.
"Well, I'm here." The girl replied lightly, her voice delicate and sweet.
"You're complaining about me? Ahem......" There was a loud coughing sound from the trunk again.
"I didn't."
"But I've read it out...... Don't lie to me, do you have something on your mind? ”
"Grandpa Shu, in the past hundred years, you have guided Di'er to practice, and if you want me to do anything, I will naturally not postpone it, but ......"
"You don't want to protect this monkey?"
"I watched him shoot a dying tiger today, without blinking an eye, he wouldn't have had to. He is now preparing to arm the monkeys, which is really terrifying, and if he continues like this, I am afraid that I will not be able to protect him. He's got too much anger on him, and I think he's going to die here sooner or later. ”
"Di'er, you still don't understand."
"I don't understand? You say that he was born to grow, but who of us is not born to grow, why can't he be left to fend for himself? You say that he can know the past and the future, but I can only see the anger in him, if this continues, he can only bring disaster to Huaguoshan in the future, I don't understand the meaning of protecting him. ”
"Di'er, I can't tell you right now, but one day you'll understand, and you'll do what I want? I'm going to die, so you can grant my old man's wish...... I'm begging you. ”
The girl walked to the old tree, wrapped her hands around the trunk, and put her pink face on the trunk, a crystal tear had slipped out of her eyes, and her teary eyes seemed to be more beautiful and lovely under the starlight......
