Chapter Twenty-Eight: There Are No Tigers in the Mountains, and Monkeys Are King

"Yunshan Chronicles" is the first article of the sixth year of the Tang Dynasty

Note: It is said that there are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys are called kings. It's all, there are tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are kings. If it is the ancestor of apes, it is the king of Qinling Mountain. There is no rival, and people dare not deceive. - Yunshan Luoyun

For the first time, Luo Yun pinched his thigh meat fiercely. It hurts, it's not a dream. The water on his feet hadn't dried up yet, and Xiao You and Zhenyue were still by his side, but why did he seem to have entered an illusion in front of him and in his mind at the same time. The scenes in my mind are constantly intertwined and overlapped with reality. A huge white figure jumped high from the mountains and forests, like a meteor, shining with white light, and smashed down! Bai Mang retracted, and the huge body that landed on the ground slowly stretched out, squatting there like an ape.

White ape. And it is absolutely huge, even if all the big men in Lijiazhai who are nearly two meters tall stand here, they can't compare with this white ape. At this time, a hundred meters away, Luo Yun was still standing on the stone on the hillside, but he felt like he was ten meters away from it and looked at each other. How tall is that? In contrast, the ape, who stood up straight, was standing at the feet of the white ape on all fours...... The head is not yet the white ape's knees, and this is still the white ape squatting with its legs bent.

And looking at the pair of muscles rising and spurting, the two forearms that were several long and long, and the thick and huge palms, Luo Yun had no doubt that it could pull up the big tree that the two of them were hugging with one hand. Similarly, if it slaps down, it is estimated that it can slap Luo Yun and Xiao Youzhenyue to death like a fly......

The image in his mind disappeared, and Luo Yun was stunned as if he was scared stupid. The performance of the white ape quickly made Luo Yun's heart relax when he mentioned his throat, and the white ape bowed his head slightly, as if he was communicating with the monkeys around him, but it should not be just to provoke and fight. Otherwise, with the strength of the other party's body, it will be enough to rush up immediately. However, Luo Yun didn't think that the other party's big scene was just to see him, and he couldn't leave if he wanted to, the monkey who was originally standing in the tree had approached the edge of the pool in his stunned distraction and surrounded him and the two tigers tightly.

Luo Yun's face was a little solemn, he had been walking unhindered in the mountains and forests all the time, he was too conceited, think about it carefully, any of the beasts in the mountains could kill him, but for some reason they didn't do it, but this doesn't mean that they can't do it, they don't dare to do it. In the cool breeze that blew in April, my back was covered with cold sweat.

The stalemate did not last long, and the white ape did not seem to have any intention of snubbing this person and two tigers. Without a trace, he waved his huge palm, and the group of apes surrounding Luo Yun stepped back at the same time as if they had been ordered. Luo Yun had just breathed a sigh of relief, and saw that the white ape had already walked over step by step. For Luo Yun, time seems to have suddenly flowed from the torrent into a microwave rippling lake, and the flow is almost undetectable, as if it were still. It was as if all the beasts knew that a king was here, and they all stayed away from this area. The birdsong and beast roars that could still be heard occasionally disappeared one after another, and the mountain that originally made Luo Yun feel more intimate suddenly became terrifying. It was too quiet, quiet enough to clearly distinguish the different breathing sounds of Xiao You and Zhenyue, and quiet to clearly hear the sound of stones colliding and falling from the heavy footsteps of the white ape.

Less than twenty meters apart, Luo Yun, who was slightly above the peak, could barely look at the distance of the white ape. The powerful pressure of the beast slammed into it like a wild bull rushing on the grassland, and the pool rippled...... Zhenyue had shrunk behind Luo Yun, and one of his hind legs had already stepped into the water. And Xiao You was still strong in front of Luo Yun, but his limbs trembled slightly. Luo Yun took a deep breath, at this time, he couldn't expect Xiao You to be invincible by any innate alien, it would be really strange if the other party was an ordinary monkey. Alien beast to alien beast, one side is still an underage little guy, this does not need to be compared to know who wins. Everything in front of me is reality, not a little talk book that likes to make the plot ups and downs.

Raise your left leg and take a slight step forward, get down from the bluestone you are standing on, take three deep breaths, and raise your head again, now you can really only look up at the white ape. I couldn't see the details clearly in the shadows just now, but standing under the sun at this time, Luo Yun carefully observed the white ape from bottom to top when he looked up. How to describe a pair of huge soles? It is often said that the soles of the feet are the size of a basin with a certain length. But if you take the basin and put it under these feet, it will probably be the size of a finger. The two legs couldn't compare to the arms that were too conspicuous, but Luo Yun suspected that the legs as thick as a big tree should be more than two meters if they were straight. Dressed in the silver hair of the frost and snow, Luo Yun noticed a detail, the white ape's body was barely stained with black mud. You must know that there is a lot of rain in this season, it just rained last night, Luo Yun's shoes and trouser legs were splashed with mud all the way into the mountain, and if the white ape ran all the way, his body would be so clean.

Looking up further, there was another surprise to Luo Yun: the lower half of the white ape's body was not naked, and several circles of green vines were wrapped around his waist like a belt, and a layer of white leather was wrapped from the waist down to his thighs, just like shorts worn by humans. And there is a big pocket in the crotch, I don't know what it contains. And the green vine doesn't look like it was torn off and entangled, but it seems to be alive. There are emerald green vine leaves on it, and the vine trunk is thick. The most peculiar thing is that there are still a few green gourds! I've never seen a wild ape in its own 'clothes'. Luo Yun's eyes were a little dull and looked at the verdant little gourd for a long time, as if he had seen it somewhere. Then continue to look up. The chest, which is made entirely of thick muscular mass, has slightly sparse white hair, and like most apes, the neck is short and thick compared to the body, giving the impression of a hunched back. The scarlet face was covered with wrinkles, thick dark red lips were pursed, and a pair of black eyeballs as bright as stars were almost covered by drooping folds.

"It's very old" I don't know why, Luo Yun couldn't help but sigh and shake his head when he realized this. The strong body that is still as strong as the green mountains cannot hide the passage of life, and perhaps one day the fierce beast will be like the extinct dinosaurs, quietly disappearing in this endless poor mountain. Thinking of this, Luo Yun's heart suddenly calmed down, and his eyes looked at the powerful life in front of him calmly, with unspeakable reluctance in his eyes.

As if facing an elder, Luo Yun straightened his clothes, stretched his arms forward, raised his hands high, and bowed deeply with his upper body with the movements of his arms. The white ape didn't know whether he didn't understand or accepted it calmly, and stood there motionless, just looking at Luo Yun with deep eyes.

Luo Yun got up, raised his head and looked at the white ape: "The elders are in front, and the juniors are polite." I don't know that there are still seniors in the mountains, so I didn't go to visit early, please forgive the kid for being ignorant and rude. I don't know what it means to bother the elders to be so enthusiastic and move the people to leave the younger generations? Is there a command? Luo Yun's tone was neither humble nor arrogant, polite and polite, and he didn't care if the white ape could understand it or not. Anyway, when I met a wild wolf before, I could understand some human intentions, and it didn't make sense that this strange beast white ape would not understand human words.

The white ape didn't move for a long time, Luo Yun groaned slightly, and said it loudly again. After speaking, he stood there quietly and looked at the white ape, and took advantage of the opportunity when his clothes belt was blown by the wind, raised his foot and kicked Xiao You in front of him, so that Xiao You collected his hostility and slowly moved closer to Luo Yun. Xiao You's side moved, but the white ape reacted, raised his left arm expressionlessly, stretched out his log-like index finger to point at Xiao You, and clicked twice in the air.

Luo Yun frowned, could this white ape be in charge of foreign beasts? If you find this rare black tiger, you want to kill or take it away? Luo Yun is reluctant to let Xiao You leave him, he has not yet realized his dream of taking Xiao You to bully and molest the women of good families. Even if Xiao You really wants to leave in the future, he will not be forcibly separated by others like this. Xiao You, who was under Luo Yun, was even more angry when he saw the white ape pointing at him, and a bite action, accompanied by a tiger roar, went straight towards the white ape.

"Xiao Yu is back!" Luo Yun was startled, turned his head to look at it, but found that the white ape did not react at all, and was still standing there quietly, which made Luo Yun feel a lot more at ease. Xiao You ran a few steps forward and didn't rush forward recklessly, but just bared the four sharp tiger teeth and kept roaring at the white ape. Luo Yun took a few steps forward and squatted down to hug Xiao You, constantly soothing Xiao You's irritable mood, Zhen Yue also had the courage to lean over a little bit, stretched out his tongue and licked Xiao You's side face. During this time, the white ape still watched quietly, motionless like a stone carving, as if any movement was superfluous to him. After Xiao You stopped yelling, Luo Yun stood up and gave a deep salute to apologize on behalf of Xiao You's offense. Looking at the white ape again, because he was a few meters ahead, the white ape looked even bigger, and Luo Yun looked so small in front of him. At this time, the white ape also had to lower his head to allow Luo Yun to see its eyes again.

"The elders forgive their sins, and the juniors are offended. But I don't know why my predecessors are looking for me, the black tiger? Luo Yun focused on the pronunciation of the word 'I', wanting to tell the white ape that Xiaoyou belonged to him.

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Yun felt that the white ape's gaze began to constantly shuttle between him and Xiao You. Gritting his teeth, Luo Yun calmly accepted this powerful 'scrutiny'. After a while, the white ape raised his left arm again, stretched out his index finger, this time pointing at Luo Yun, opened his mouth slightly, and let out a muffled thunderous voice.

Luo Yun felt that the fur on his body suddenly tightened, as if he was forced to his body by the sound waves emitted by the white ape. But this is acceptable, after all, many times the voices of huge creatures are not small. But Luo Yun, who had been staring at the face of the white ape, could clearly see the jagged fangs exposed between the lips, and Xiao You's four big teeth were compared to others......

Shaking his head and driving away the terrifying thought that he might face a bloody mouth, Luo Yun comprehended or guessed the meaning that the white ape was going to express, and asked tentatively, "Senior is asking me...... Why raise this black tiger? ”

This time, the white ape reacted quickly, and seemed to really understand Luo Yun's words, and slowly shook his head. Luo Yun lifted his spirits, it was good to be able to communicate, and the danger would be reduced by at least half. However, the white ape obviously came to Xiao You, not asking why he raised it, but what could he ask?

"That'...... The seniors are asking...... Why can I make it obedient? ”

The white ape seemed to groan for a moment, and shook his head again. Luo Yun didn't understand even more at this time, if he guessed wrong, he just shook his head, what did he mean by hesitating for a while?

"I can't ask who I am, do you?" Luo Yun pointed to himself. What he didn't expect was that the white ape nodded very definitely this time, and he was afraid that Luo Yun would not understand, so he stretched out his hand and nodded Luo Yun.

A little speechless, Luo Yun really doesn't know how to introduce himself, if he talks to an ordinary stranger, then simply say that my family lives in Lijiazhai in Yunshan next to Jiufeng Township, my name is Li Luoyun. But what about a white ape that lives in the mountains? Does it make sense to say Li Jiazhai and the name? Again, it's a difficult question to answer. After lowering his head and pondering for a long time, Luo Yun suddenly figured out that what the white ape actually wanted to ask was, 'Why can you raise a fierce beast, the Molan-colored tiger?' ’。 The white ape is not concerned about why it is raised, but why it can be raised. This is different from making Xiaoyou obedient.

If a beast with a high level of spirituality meets a kind human, if there is any intersection, it is very likely that the beast and the human will make friends. But those beasts that only exist in myths and legends are different, they have extremely high spirituality and wisdom at the same time. They also have an unusually strong beast instinct, they don't have any communication with humans who are alien and weak, for them, the appearance of humans in front of them is an offense to them, just kill them directly, no need to talk nonsense. According to the meaning of the white ape, the black blue tiger Xiao You, who has always been raised by Luo Yun as a kitten, obviously belongs to this kind of barbaric and bloody beast. Just comparing some of the differences between Zhenyue and Xiaoyou, we can clearly see how blessed this beast is physically, and its personality is ......

"This tiger has never hurt anyone under my discipline." Luo Yun's evasive answer did not satisfy the white ape. The white ape pointed at Luo Yun again, and a muffled thunderous sound came out of his mouth.

After hesitating for a long time, Luo Yun looked at the white ape and said, "I...... From parents ...... Or rather, to be precise...... Adoptive parents, as you can see from their stories...... I, should be...... The ...... they picked up from the mountains."

I don't want the white ape to listen to Luo Yun's words, his originally restrained eyes suddenly widened, coaxing-coaxing and approaching Luo Yun in two steps, and without waiting for Xiao You and Zhenyue to react, a giant palm pressed the two tigers between his fingers. Luo Yun just exclaimed in surprise, and when he turned his head, he was greeted by a huge red face, with blood-red brown pupils staring at him firmly. In an instant, Luo Yun felt that his heart stopped beating, and he sat on the ground in fright, fear prevailed, his eyes were closed tightly, and he shrank back, only to feel that his life seemed to be about to end.

The heavens and the earth were silent, and the light blue sky was cloudy. The Qinling Mountains, which spread for thousands of miles, have been the place of the royal dragon vein since ancient times. The breeze was blowing through a hill, passing through a fruit forest, and was about to blow a pool of secluded pools, but suddenly collided with an invisible wave that swept the soft spring breeze far away. A faint sound of thunder echoed between the rocky cliffs; "Hmm-

Luo Yun was shocked with some tinnitus, and his head was groggy as if he had been slammed. Feeling that he was not dead, he cautiously opened his eyes, but what he saw was a bloody mouth, with interlaced canine teeth, which was very terrifying. Luo Yun screamed and fainted.

In the evening, Cheng Wu and Cheng Mu, father and son, were busy in the valley for a day, dragging their tired bodies back home. Since the weather has warmed up, the construction of the reservoir has started again, and now one has been completed. In a few days, the remaining three will be completed, and the water will be ready to be stored. As for Lian Lian to become a large reservoir, it can be taken slowly, at least for now, it seems that this year's spring plowing and watering should be able to catch up with the use of the cylinder car. As for the terraces, none of the fields where wheat is planted have been changed. Now there are only a dozen acres of terraced fields of the main family last year, and considering that there is no need to store water for wheat planting, the patriarch decided to reduce the project. The original renovated terraces were turned into irrigation and drainage canals between all the fields, and the water retaining gates of the adjacent fields were installed.

In this way, the water can be used to irrigate all the fields along the canal at the same time, and if there is a field that does not need to be watered, it is enough to block the mouth of the stagnant drain. Of course, such an idea also requires the edge of the field to be embankmented with stones, so as to prevent the loss of land at the same time, so that the effort will not be in vain. In addition to irrigation, the biggest advantage is that when it rains, a large amount of water can flow directly down the canal into the reservoir, increasing the amount of water stored and avoiding the slow accumulation of spring water.

After entering the house, Cheng Mu threw the farm tools into the cowshed and ran directly to the water urn in the backyard to scoop up a scoop of water, and poured it down. After taking a few breaths of joy, he looked over to see that his mother was cooking in the room, and then turned his head to look into Luoyun's house, and there was no movement at all, and it was estimated that he had not come back yet. 'Brother Yun is really comfortable', shrugged his shoulders, picked up the clay pot and drew water, squatted on the ground and wiped two handfuls on his face, and carefully rubbed his fingers, picking between his fingers to wash his two hands. It's okay to have a dirty face, but your hands must be clean, not only his mother, but even Luo Yun is particularly concerned about this.

I splashed the dirty water and re-filled a basin and served it to my father, who had just entered the hospital. Turned around and entered the house, grabbed the towel on the shelf and wiped the water droplets off his face, and suddenly heard a 'woo' cry in his ears, and couldn't help but be stunned. Luo Yun didn't come back again, can Zhenyue still run back by himself? I guess I heard it wrong. Thinking about it, I couldn't help but habitually glance at Zhenyue's nest, not wanting to really see Zhenyue's exposed tail. Hurriedly threw down the towel and ran over, squatting down to see that it was Zhenyue who was lying in it. I wondered in my heart, this Zhenyue was really hungry and ran back? Stretched out his hand and hugged Zhen Yue out, Zhen Yue struggled for a moment, turned his head and wanted to bite, and saw that it was his master who 'whimpered' and arched over.

Cheng Mu sat cross-legged on the ground, held Zhenyue on his lap and stroked its hair, and after a closer look, he suddenly found that Zhenyue had rubbed off a large piece of soft hair from his waist to his hind legs. It doesn't look obvious, but you can feel it when you touch it. Seeing that Zhenyue's spirit was a little sluggish, he couldn't help but feel nervous, there would be no accident, right? Then he comforted himself, what could happen to Brother Yun with two tigers in the mountains, even if he ran into a black blind man...... You can't really run into a black blind man, right? It's impossible, even if you run into it, you won't just run back to Zhenyue. Xiao You is much stronger than Zhenyue, although it is still small, but it should be no problem to hit the bear.

No matter how you think about it, Cheng Mu couldn't help but put down Zhenyue, ran quickly to Luoyun House, pushed the door and walked in, there was really no one. Frowning, Cheng Mu felt that something might really be wrong, and after thinking about it, he didn't tell his father immediately, after all, it was not sure, and it would be bad to let his father and mother worry. While thinking about it, Cheng Mu hurriedly ran back to the house to see Zhenyue, and found that Zhenyue had gotten into the nest again, this time he crawled out by himself without waiting for him to hug him, holding a piece of ...... in his mouth White silk. Cheng Mu was stunned, and his heart couldn't help sinking. The underwear Luo Yun wore was made of white silk, and that dress was made for him by his mother not long ago. He bought the silk with his father on the mountain, with cloud patterns on it, and it cost two yuan, and Brother Yun liked it very much. …… Something really happened......
