Although Cheng Tianle knocked the giant ape down just now, he didn't hurt it, the purpose was to capture it alive, in this place that is like a myth and legend, it is impossible to subdue a demon cultivator who is familiar with the situation as a guide. The giant ape's whole body was sore, and it was just a temporary distraction like a human fight, and it would be okay to ease up, but his arms were still a little sore, after all, he and Cheng Tianle had two punches.

Although he was locked up in the change of his supernatural power and could not manipulate the wind and snow with mana, the power of the giant ape's powerful original body was still there, and he stood up at this moment and walked through the wind and snow to a high place, his tall body was like a small moving snow-capped mountain. Walk through gently sloping meadows into steep rocky cliffs, turning a few bends between the labyrinthine rocks, with two stalagmite-like erected rocks in front of you, like a natural barrier, and a cave behind.

The entrance of the cave is slightly narrow, about one zhang wide and two zhang high, but there is a space that is more than five zhang deep and three or four zhang wide and narrow to go inside, where you can shelter from the wind, and it is the nest where the giant ape lives. In this kind of place, there is a very special fishy smell, but this cave is very clean, and this giant ape is not ordinary, after cultivating into a demon, it has got rid of the habits of some beasts, but it still looks like a beast.

In the depths of the cave there is a pebble nest covered with pale white hay and animal skins, presumably where the great apes sleep. There is a complete pair of yak horns hanging on the stone wall of the cave, the shape is very beautiful, it is obvious that this beast that has opened its mind has the most primitive and simple aesthetic taste, and has begun to decorate its own cave.

Not far from the entrance of the cave there was a pile of ashes, and in order to prevent the wind from blowing the ashes away, another circle of stones was laid. This is apparently where the great ape makes a fire and roasts its food - it has already mastered how to use fire!

Cheng Tianle found a stone in the cave and sat down to rest, carefully looking at the clean, simple, simple, and somewhat primitive cave house. The giant ape who cleaned up the cave was dirty at the moment, and his reddish-brown hair and white hair were stained with a lot of mud, because he had just been knocked over by Cheng Tianle. It was lying in the corner with frightened eyes looking at Cheng Tianle, looking pitiful.

Cheng Tianle was tired, he had been walking for two days and one night in a row, if it was under ordinary circumstances, this would be nothing, but he was walking through the snow-capped mountains on the plateau with thin air, and many places had to use mana to perform the magic method, not only climbing up and down in the cliff, but also expanding the divine sense to investigate the surrounding situation. In the morning, I passed through the dangerous ice tower, and there was a fight in the storm.

With this good place to rest, Cheng Tianle didn't talk more, and sat there with his eyes closed and pranayama. The giant ape didn't dare to squeak, and the cave seemed quiet. Only the wind outside the cave mouth was calling.

When Cheng Tianle opened his eyes and fully recovered, it was already the middle of the night. Zi Hao was still quietly cultivating his spirit in his Quchi cave, and Sheng Long ran to the grass nest and fell asleep, so a small golden-threaded rat occupied such a large grass nest, it was not too wasteful of space. As soon as Cheng Tianle opened his eyes, he immediately alarmed the giant ape and raised his head to look at him.

Cheng Tianle pointed to the pile of ashes at the entrance of the cave. "How did you learn to use fire?" ”

The giant ape finally waited for the opportunity to speak, ran to the entrance of the cave, pointed outside, and began to gesture. Sheng Long was awakened, and Zi Hao also spread his divine sense to look at it. Cheng Tianle walked to the entrance of the cave and looked outside, and at this moment the storm had stopped. There was a quiet space between heaven and earth, and the large lake in the middle of the basin in the distance looked like a mirror, and directly above it was covered with canopy-like clouds.

From Cheng Tianle's point of view, the reflection on the surface of the lake is not the clouds directly above. Rather, it is the outline of snow-capped mountains and the brilliant starry sky on the opposite side of the basin, as if there is another mysterious plateau world under the surface of the lake. The great ape pointed to the rocky beach by the lake. Then he squatted down and drew a circle on the ground to make a fire, and then turned around and pointed to the stone circle in the hole, and was afraid that Cheng Tianle would not understand, so he picked up two stones and rubbed them hard, making a piercing sound and bringing up a string of sparks.

Sheng Long guessed: "Its meaning should be that you learned it when you saw someone lighting a fire by the lake." The monster that has turned on the spirit is really smart. ”

Cheng Tianle suddenly flicked his fingers, and a mana struck the stone held by the giant ape, not only bringing up a string of sparks, but also looming sparks. The great ape was startled, then nodded again and again, and pointed to the lake in the distance.

Zi Hao guessed: "It should mean that the person I saw by the lake was the one who made a fire like Cheng Zong." Then he should have magical powers, probably a monk who had arrived here. ”

Sheng Long: "Nonsense! Without supernatural powers, it is impossible to enter such a place. But who are those people, is it Liu Yanghe? ”

Cheng Tianle also narrowed his eyes when he heard this, Yu Daoyang came here five hundred years ago, but this giant ape could not have lived for five hundred years. If it's on

Someone has been here since Qi Lingzhi, and the biggest possibility is Liu Yanghe, who also came to take Lei Jin. Cheng Tianle asked again: "Did the person you see come not long ago?" ”

There is the magic of "entering the country with words", and the giant ape can understand what Cheng Tianle means by "human", which is the same thing as Cheng Tianle, but he is a little confused about the concept of "not so long ago". Although it has opened its mind, has a simple understanding of the length of time, and understands the changes of the four seasons in the mountains, it has not yet had a general understanding of the abstract concept of time.

Cheng Tianle asked another question: "Did you see the person who lit a fire by the lake in the past two years?" When the word "year" was spoken, the artistic conception of the changing seasons was accompanied by the divine thoughts, and the giant ape finally understood.

It whined and gestured for a long time, and Cheng Tianle also understood, it turned out that someone came here last summer, and once built a bonfire by the lake, and was seen by this giant ape hiding in the distance. According to this time, the person who came may be Liu Yanghe. Cheng Tianle asked again: "Is that person carrying an eagle?" ”

This sentence is very easy to understand, because there is an eagle flying in the artistic conception. The giant ape nodded again and again, and opened his arms to make a very funny flying motion, and then reached out and carefully patted Cheng Tianle's shoulder. It means that he saw an eagle flying with the man and then landing on the man's shoulder.

Listening to its explanation, Cheng Tianle had already determined that Liu Yanghe had been here last summer, just a few months after the sneak attack on him. Fang Cai's conversation made the giant ape begin to have a clear concept of time, and then Cheng Tianle tested its concept of numbers again, and asked again: "How many years have you cultivated to become a demon?" ”

The concept of demon may be difficult to understand, but Cheng Tianle's way of asking questions is exactly what this giant ape is the easiest to understand, because some artistic conceptions are difficult to describe in words, but they can be expressed very clearly with divine thoughts. When Cheng Tianle cast the Spirit Binding Seal, he had already investigated the state of its divine energy, and if he talked about cultivation, he should have passed the Demon Realm Tribulation, and he could condense the Demon Pill and transform into a form.

But this giant ape had started the spiritual self-realization practice by chance for a long time, and no one had taught it this, and it had never seen a human until last summer, so it had not realized the method of transforming into a human form and cultivating under the pretense of pretending to cultivate. But its Yuan Shen Yuan Qi has embraced each other, as long as it is guided to cultivate according to the law, it can completely condense the so-called demon pill, and there is no obstacle to cultivation in the realm.

As for the transformation into a human being, I am afraid it will take a lot of effort, if it can be successful, its description will be related to the state of mind and longevity. If it hadn't encountered Cheng Tianle or a similar experience, its path of cultivation would have been much more difficult, and it might have become a monster in the snowy mountains, but it would still be a demon cultivator with supernatural powers. A long time ago, there were no traces in many places, and there were many monsters and beasts, leaving behind all kinds of myths and legends.

Cheng Tianle described a state to the giant ape with divine thoughts, and asked him when he reached this state. The giant ape narrowed its eyes in thought, and then began to count with its hands, although it didn't know what one, two, three, four was, but it could understand the difference in numbers.

Ten fingers were obviously not enough, the giant ape seemed a little anxious, and then slapped his head, jumped out of the cave and began to pick up stones, each time he picked up a stone and put it in front of Cheng Tianle, jumping back and forth seventeen times, a total of seventeen stones were picked up. That is to say, it has been seventeen years since it reached the state described by Cheng Tianle and broke through the Demon Tribulation.

Cheng Tianle smiled, obviously this giant ape had understood the concept of the year, and knew that the length of time was the same every year, so he specially selected stones of similar size. Cheng Tianle said with a smile: "You don't have to run so much, you can just bring seventeen small stones in at a time, wouldn't that be more convenient?" ”

The giant ape was slightly stunned, and then showed a look of sudden realization, looking at Cheng Tianle's eyes full of admiration. The mountain and wild demon cultivators who had turned on their spiritual wisdom and even survived the Demon Realm Tribulation were very smart, and they could already understand the abstract concepts of time and numbers with a little touch. It used to be ignorant only because no one had taught it, and there was nowhere to learn it in this isolated basin. Unlike when Sheng Long was a weasel, he once sneaked away to the roof beam of a rural elementary school to listen to the class.

Zi Hao was also very interested when he looked at it, and flew out of Cheng Tianle's sleeve and landed on the ground and turned into a human form. This frightened the giant ape, it had never seen such a scene, and it took a few steps back and hit its back against the stone wall. Cheng Tianle waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be afraid, he is my junior brother Zi Hao, and he is a spiritual cultivator." ”

This sentence made the giant ape seem to understand or not, for example, what "junior brother" meant made it difficult to understand, but Cheng Tianle showed Zi Hao's changing appearance and process, which made it roughly understand what was going on with the person in front of him, and the color of fear was a little less, but the color of surprise was even stronger. Zi Hao said with interest: "Senior brother, shall we give it a name?" Looking at its white hair, how about calling it white? ”
