Chapter 2 Meet the Banyan Spirit
"You have to change your fate. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Under such a belief, the stone monkey walked down the mountain step by step, the brilliant glow in the sky gradually disappeared, and the night gradually darkened.
At the age of 24, he had never been in the wild.
"The most important thing to do right now is to find a secret place, take a break, and find your own kind tomorrow morning." The stone monkey planned in his heart, "If this world is the world in Journey to the West, I know everything about Journey to the West, can't I survive?" ββOnly if the husband survives, can he find a way to go back. β
"I can't go back."
At this moment, an old voice suddenly came out, and the voice was extremely hoarse, as if it had exhausted all his life's strength to say these four words......
"Who are you?" The stone monkey looked around, but could not find the source of the sound......
Suddenly a panic swept over his heart, and he began to clench his fists, on guard. He knew that in this world, all birds, beasts, insects, and fish could cultivate into essence, and it was easy for them to eat themselves.
There was no sound at all, and a few wolf howls were faintly heard in the distance, the sound was poignant and long, and the stone monkey's palms were sweaty......
"Who are you, talking to me?" He said again to the target he didn't know what to do, trying to get an answer from the voice he had just spoken.
"I'm right there with you...... Ahem......" The old man's voice began to cough, as if he was a dying old man.
"But I didn't see you." The stone monkey's heart was pounding, he didn't know whether the other party was good or bad, and what the other party's purpose was. The sky was getting darker and darker, and the stars were shining in the sky. The stone monkey became more and more afraid.
"But I'm right next to you......"
"Why don't you come out,...... Whether you are a human or a ghost, I will not be afraid of you, why don't you show people as you are? The stone monkey mustered up his courage, and after saying this, his heart had already jumped to his throat, after all, he was an ordinary person, a weak scholar, and he had never encountered such a thing.
"I'm right next to you."
The stone monkey heard it clearly this time, and the voice came from the side of a towering old tree beside him, and he had almost tripped over a long branch on the ground just now, and the branch passed through the dirt and connected to the old tree's body.
The stone monkey said to the old tree, "Who are you?" Where are you? β
"I'm right next to you."
"But I can't see you."
"You've seen me."
"I didn't see it."
"I've seen it."
"No ......" the stone monkey suddenly realized that it was the towering tree beside him who was talking to him. He was shocked, it turned out that this tree had already cultivated to the essence, and he could actually guess what he was thinking.
The stone monkey was not as scared as he was just now, because he had already vaguely guessed that this old tree would not hurt him, so he said, "You are this old tree?" β
"You've finally got the hang of it." The old voice came from the trunk of the tree, and seemed to imply irony.
"You know...... Know who I am? β
"I don't know, but I just know you can't go back?"
"Why can't you go back?"
"Didn't you just think to yourself that you were going back to the stones? I just thought that since I came into this world from the stone, no one wants to go back to the stone. Since fate has brought you into this world, there must be some arrangement. And you can't go back. β
The stone monkey laughed in his heart, it turned out that this old tree was nothing more than that.
"You don't have to laugh at me, my mind-reading skills have degraded for over 100 years."
Mind reading? The stone monkey was confused and said, "Are you more than a hundred years old?" β
"Ahem...... I mean, I've been a tree for a hundred years. β
"A tree that has been a tree for a hundred years? You weren't originally a tree? β
"I was originally like you, able to walk upright, then I became a man, and then I became a tree. I've forgotten how old I am, maybe a thousand or ten thousand, I can't remember exactly......"
The stone monkey was silent, because he didn't know how to answer. He had already concluded that this old tree was a monster that had cultivated to the essence of cultivation, but he didn't expect him to say such a thing.
"If I had done before, maybe I could have helped you. But now, I can only search with memory, I don't know if my memory is reliable, I remember that there are about more than 300 waterfalls in Huaguo Mountain, but I really don't know which one will be what you are looking for, and I don't know which waterfall has a hole behind you are looking for, it seems important for you to find him, but I can't help much. β
The stone monkey was startled, the old tree guessed his thoughts again, indeed, he had been thinking about a question just now, since he was the future Monkey King, this is Huaguo Mountain, there must be a waterfall, and there is a water curtain cave recorded in the Journey to the West behind the waterfall, he just thought so, but he didn't expect the old tree to immediately say his thoughts.
It is embarrassing for a person's thoughts to be suddenly exposed, and it is precisely this old tree that seems to be particularly fond of showing off his special abilities, and the stone monkey does not want to entangle with him, so he diverts the topic and says, "Why did you become a tree later?" β
"If you were faced with the same situation, faced with either becoming a tree or dying, I think you would gladly choose the former."
The stone monkey did not answer, for he knew that the old tree had something to say.
"At that time, I was put on the neck with a knife, and in the face of death, I begged him to let me live, don't kill me, as long as I live, I can do anything, and the other party said, then you will be a tree for the rest of your life, from now until you die. So I became a tree.
"After a long time, I can no longer perform changes, no one communicates with me, and the only pleasure in my life is to use mind reading to speculate on the thoughts of the creatures that pass by me, and attract them to talk to me, but such days are not long, my longevity is approaching, and now every word I say almost kills me, and I am really going to die. I'm only now realizing that death isn't as terrible as I thought. But why didn't you know that at the time...... Ahem......"
"What happened 100 years ago?"
"I'm not going to tell you. So don't ask. Ahem...... You quickly find a place to rest, tomorrow you have to go to your kind, only by finding them, you can survive here, I have said so many things to you, I have exhausted the Yuan power, and it is impossible to recover in three or five years, so be it, child, I hope you are lucky all the way. Ahem...... That's it. β
The sound stopped abruptly, and there was silence all around, except for the tireless blinking of the stars in the sky.
"Hey! Feed! What's wrong? β
The stone monkey patted the trunk of the tree with his hand, and the trunk could no longer make a sound.
In the impression of the stone monkey, all the monsters were fierce and vicious, and this old tree spirit did not hurt himself, which he never expected.
Of course, the stone monkey knows that here, not all situations will be like tonight, and not all living beings will be like this old tree without harming themselves.
He didn't want to think about it, or he didn't dare to think about it.
At this moment, all kinds of feelings of hunger, tiredness, and loneliness swarmed up and wrapped the stone monkey who had just come to this world, he rubbed his eyes, and was not afraid, leaning directly on the trunk of this old tree, leaving his fear behind him, and falling into a deep sleep.
