Metamorphosis - Many Disasters (24)
It was getting late and late, and I said a little worriedly: Brother Monkey, do you think that old man is a liar? Why haven't you seen anyone after walking for such a long time? There is no trace of the market town.
Second Senior Brother, take a closer look, isn't that the market town in front of you? How could the old man lie to us? Brother Monkey and I both looked in the direction that Senior Brother Sha was pointing at, only to see some houses faintly appearing in the distance, in groups. I said, Senior Brother Sha, you read it right? Are you sure it's a house? Senior Brother Sha nodded and said, "That's right, that's the house."
Brother Monkey looked very strange and asked: Idiot! What's wrong? Eyes are still not good? Yes, didn't the old pig say it a long time ago, he used to face the computer every day and ended up breaking his eyes and becoming short-sighted; You just know now. Brother Monkey stopped talking, and ignorance was never glorious. Finally arrived in the market town.
This market town is more prosperous than all the market towns we have seen before, and it is very large, and what Senior Brother Sha told us to see just now is just a corner of the market town. Perhaps it would be more accurate to call the market town the county seat. No matter, the old man first called it a market town, so let's just imitate his statement.
The market town is bustling with people, and the streets are densely packed with shops. I stopped and said to Brother Monkey: Brother Monkey, look at how good it is here, let's stay here, there is delicious food, and the environment looks very comfortable, anyway, it doesn't cost much. Brother Monkey said no, as for why it didn't work, Brother Monkey didn't explain the reason, and then he continued to walk forward. Senior Brother Sha came over and said: Second Senior Brother, that's not good, if we hadn't promised the old man at the beginning, it's okay to rest here, since the old man has already written the letter and handed it to us, if we don't go, it will be called dishonesty, that's not good. I said okay, since you all have to go to that mountain to stay, then the old pig has nothing to say.
Senior Brother Sha pulled my sleeves while persuading him with kind words. Brother Monkey, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and said: Senior Brother Sha! Ignore him! Let him stay here alone, let's go ours! Let's go! The old pig is still afraid that you will not succeed! Why do you always chirp crookedly! I said to Brother Monkey. Senior Brother Sha began to persuade both again.
It is completely conceivable that if Senior Brother Sha was not in the middle of our team, I would have to fight with Brother Monkey often. After walking for a while, I said to Brother Monkey: Brother Monkey, we don't know what the old man said to his senior brother in the letter, should we open it and take a look? Brother Monkey glanced at me hatefully and said: You can figure it out, although this is an introduction letter from the old man, but since he has sealed his mouth, it means that he doesn't want us to know what they are talking about; If we open it, how will we explain to the old man's senior brother when we go to Gong Lotus Mountain? Wouldn't that be a shame for us? peeking at people's letters; Anyway, Lao Sun won't read it, it's up to you to see it yourself, and you will send it when the time comes. After speaking, Brother Monkey handed over the letter.
I said that if you don't look at it, you won't watch it, since you don't agree, then the old pig has nothing to say.
This is called public opinion, and the minority obeys the majority.
It was getting darker and darker, and the lights were on every house on the street, but the clusters of houses in front of it were still out of sight. Senior Brother Sha said: Brother Monkey, let's go over, in case it is too late, it is estimated that the old man has already slept. Brother Monkey thought about it for a while and felt that it made sense, so he beckoned one and asked the driver how much it was? The driver said to play the meter, and it is the fairest to play the meter. Finally drove to the tail of the county seat, and the houses gradually became fewer, and the lights gradually decreased. At a turning point, Brother Monkey said: Stop! So we got out of the car.
I said Brother Monkey, you are really weird, where is it not good to park in such a dark place.
Brother Monkey said, "Look up." Senior Brother Sha and I looked in the direction of Brother Monkey's mouth pursed, and saw three lights lit up halfway up the mountain, which was very obvious. In fact, the three lights are not particularly bright, but there is no light around them, and it is pitch black, so they are very prominent.
Senior Brother Sha said: Could it be that the senior brother of the Meishan monk lives there? Alone? I looked around, and there were no other lights around the mountainside, if the Meishan monk was right, if he really had a senior brother, then he must have lived there. The Meishan monk is the old man who laid out the "Cloud Mountain Mist Cover Three Arrays" earlier, and we just came from him.
Brother Monkey said: If it's right, then it must be there, I suddenly saw there so I asked the driver to stop. I see! It took a bit of effort to get up the mountain, because the road was winding and uneven, and there was no flashlight. I said you see, this is good, let the Sunshine Avenue not go but take the sheep intestine path, it is really self-inflicted. Brother Monkey turned around and said viciously: Idiot, you chirp again and believe it or not, Lao Sun threw you down the mountain! So I had to keep silent again, force is still very effective for the old pig, once it comes to the old pig's attitude will generally change.
The three lights were finally in sight, and we ran up to see a house, and then we lay on the ground gasping for air. I thought that this mountain is too high. Senior Brother Sha corrected that it was not that the mountain was too high, but that the road was too difficult to walk, which made the mountain higher. Senior Brother Sha's statement is more dialectical.
Suddenly, an upside-down figure appeared in my sight, with a very slender figure. The reason why I saw an upside-down figure was because I was lying on my back at the time. The figure reached the top of my head and remained motionless. I wondered who this was? So I turned around and went over to see what was going on.
Finally, it was clear that it was an old man dressed in loose, white clothes, with hair as white as that of a Meishan monk. Seeing that there was a person standing above our heads, I hurriedly went to shoot Brother Monkey and Senior Brother Sha, it seems that Brother Monkey and Senior Brother Sha haven't reacted yet; Brother Monkey said: What are you doing, rest for a while, I'm tired of my grandson.
I continued to shoot and said: No, Brother Monkey, there are people. Someone? Where is it? Brother Monkey immediately got up, and then Senior Brother Sha also got up. Brother Monkey, as soon as they got up, they naturally saw our old man.
Brother Monkey said very politely: May I ask if you are the senior brother of the old man of Meishan? The old man nodded and said, "It's the old body, you just arrived, right?" Come in, come in, come in! I wonder if this is a little wrong. Why does the old man seem to know us very well.
Brother Monkey also thought of this question, because he was asking: Do you always know that we are coming? The old man was stunned for a moment before replying: That's it? This afternoon, my junior brother mentioned this matter to me, saying that you were coming, so the old man turned on three lights outside here to make it easier for you to identify.
Brother Monkey said: The old man of Meishan also asked us to bring a letter to you. After speaking, Brother Monkey took out the letter hidden in the tiger skin skirt and handed it to the old man. How do you call it? Senior Brother Sha asked.
The old man replied while opening the letter: "Oh, you can just call me Lotus Layman, this is Lotus Mountain." As he spoke, the old man had already opened the letter and looked at it, and then put it away.
The old man stood up and said to us: Since you have been introduced by my junior brother, then the old man has no slackness, you sit down first, and the old man will go to the kitchen to get some food. I said that the old man is so unenlightened, and I don't know how to ask a little guy for help. The old man said I want to too, but it costs money, and the old body has a breeze on his sleeves, and he can't afford it.
After the old man finished speaking, he went to another room. Brother Monkey and Senior Brother Sha chatted, there was a match or not, at first I was still following them, but then my eyes slowly stopped listening, and finally, dimly, I don't know if I fell asleep.
I dreamed, and I dreamed of some messy things, including Sister Qing, but it was only for a moment, and then it was replaced by other scenes.
I don't know where I did, and suddenly I heard the voices of Brother Monkey and Senior Brother Sha: Idiot! Nerds! Second Senior Brother! Second Senior Brother! I opened my hazy sleepy eyes and looked around, only to see that Brother Monkey and Senior Brother Sha were already sitting at the table, eating something at this time.
It turned out that the old man had made the meal. Senior Brother Sha said: Second Senior Brother, hurry up, it will be gone in a while. Seeing that I was in a hurry, the old man hurriedly said: Don't be in a hurry, there is more!
During the meal, the old man talked to us about himself, and we were so angry that we were so angry. After dinner, the old man arranged for us to stay, and the three of us were arranged in the largest room in the middle, where there were bunks, and the three of us were squeezed into one bed.
The old man looked very embarrassed and said: Because I don't usually interact with people, there is no extra bed at home, so I can only grieve you. Where! Where! Brother Monkey said.
It's a real trouble for you to get old. Senior Brother Sha said.
I thought about it, I had to say something, but I didn't think about it for a long time. I originally wanted to say: It's okay, it's okay, free things are generally of poor quality, but I felt that if I really said that, it would hurt the self-esteem of the elderly, so in the end I decided not to say anything.
It was almost midnight after all the tossing and turning, and we finally went to sleep, and as soon as I lay down, I was whirring. The reason why I knew that I had been swaying was because the old man smiled and said to me the next day: You slept so soundly! Since the old man knows that I slept soundly, it must be that the old pig is snoring again.
After getting up, the old man had already prepared breakfast, saying that we could go on the road after eating. I thought that this old man was so good, we ate and drank for nothing and didn't complain at all, if we wanted to put it on others, I'm afraid we would have already jumped up.
After eating and resting for a while, we stood up and said goodbye to the old man, and the strange thing was that the old man didn't say a word, just looked at us with a smile. We didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was just the old man's habit; The old people are more unpredictable.
Before I could get out of the door, I suddenly bumped into Senior Brother Sha's back. I said, Senior Brother Sha, what are you doing? If we stop well, we'll have to rear-end it. Senior Brother Sha didn't speak, just stood there stunned. I shouted to Brother Monkey who was walking in the front again: Brother Monkey! Why don't you leave? Brother Monkey didn't speak, he also stood there stunned. I'm thinking about strange things! After that, he squeezed to Brother Monkey's side and looked in the direction they were looking.
I don't know if I don't know it, I was startled, because there was a cliff right in front of the door, and the road we came from last night was gone. Not only is the road gone, but even the dam in front of the house is gone, as if this single house is standing on the abyss.
When I was still staring blankly, Brother Monkey reacted, and hurriedly squeezed into the room and asked the old man, that is, the Lotus Layman: What's going on? The old man didn't seem strange at all, and still looked at us with a smile. Senior Brother Sha also reacted, and also walked to Brother Monkey and asked the old man: Yes! What's going on?
Only then did the old man slowly stand up and say, "I heard from my junior brother that your ability to break the formation is very high, so he asked me to set up a few formations for you to see.
Meishan layman? Brother Monkey asked.
That's right! That's him; He's my junior brother, you know. Lotus monk said.
When did he tell you that we were awesome? We're just just here! Brother Monkey said. Oh! Huh? This was told to me by my junior brother in the letter, so he asked me to lay out a few more formations, and if I can pass through smoothly, then you will naturally continue to move forward safely; If not, then you will have to go back the way you came.
I heard that the old man had secretly communicated in the letter and came to trick us, so I couldn't hold my breath. I said Brother Monkey, look at you, I told you to open your trust and look at the content, but you didn't listen, but now it's good, it's a trick! Brother Monkey glanced at me hatefully, but he didn't refute me.
Brother Monkey said angrily to the old man: You old man don't know each other, we still treat your seniors, and now we are actually colluding to let us be fooled, and today this evil breath will come out of you no matter what, so that you know the consequences of lying and deceiving people! After Brother Monkey finished speaking, he pounced on the old man.
Senior Brother Sha was walking to stop him, but he was a step too late. I said, Senior Brother Sha, what are you doing about this, the old man deserves it, who told them to partner up to deceive us? Senior Brother Sha said: Second Senior Brother, you can't say that, the old man treats us pretty well, right? It's easy to talk about anything! Besides, they weren't lying to us, were they? Isn't it? At most, it can only be said that the Meishan monk didn't tell us in advance, and he didn't want to beat people? Although I think Senior Brother Sha is reasonable, Brother Monkey has already rushed out, and everything is useless.
Just when Brother Monkey was about to reach the Lotus Layman, the old man suddenly made a pause and faced Brother Monkey. I thought that this old man was really weird, and when he saw that the catastrophe was coming, not only did he not dodge or make a move, but he made such a small pediatric action, could it be that he was frightened?
Sure enough, Brother Monkey was also confused by his action, so he also stopped advancing. The old man still looked at Brother Monkey with a smile and said: You have to think about it before you hit me, I am the only one who knows the solution to this formation, if what happens to your old body, and you can't break this formation, then who will help you break the siege? It doesn't matter if you're old, it's an old bone anyway, you can do it yourself!
Senior Brother Sha took the opportunity to rush up and grabbed Brother Monkey's arm and said: Brother Monkey, don't be rough, if you get stuck here, it will be over, let's find a way to break the formation; Didn't we already break the Meishan monks before? Now these will definitely be broken.
It is estimated that he felt that what the old man and Senior Brother Sha said was reasonable, so in the end, Brother Monkey retreated hatefully. The old man said: You can start to break the formation now, before you break it, forgive the old body for not greeting you well, I can't give you food, once you break these formations, the old body will definitely be hospitable; After all, talent is rare in this world.
These formations? Is there more than one? Brother Monkey, who had already turned around, turned back to the old man and asked the old man.
The old man nodded and said that it could be explained that way, and at the same time it could not be explained so much.
What do you mean? Brother Monkey became more and more confused, and continued to ask.
The old man said: This formation is called "Duan Yun Array", which is my original creation, and unlike my junior brother's Cloud Mountain Mist Cover Array, my formation is more "humane".
How to personalize the law? Brother Monkey asked.
I can't figure it out, the formation is still divided into human nature and inhuman nature?
The old man continued: Duan Yun Array may have only one formation, or it may have multiple formations.
The reason? Brother Monkey asked.
If you can successfully pass through this Duan Cloud Array in front of you, then this formation will disappear completely; If you can't pass through this Duan Cloud Array in front of you smoothly, then a new Duan Cloud Array will appear after that. The old man said.
Until it passes? Brother Monkey asked.
The old man nodded in agreement. It seems that this old man is really a whimsical idea, and he would actually think of this method. I said to Brother Monkey: Brother Monkey, this is much more cost-effective than the previous formation, you see, there is only one, as long as it passes; According to our experience, I'm afraid that we won't be able to get by. Senior Brother Sha said that the second senior brother can't say that, since there is only one formation at the moment, then it is bound to be more powerful, if we are not careful, maybe we will be trapped in the formation forever! Hearing Senior Brother Sha say this, I was a little scared, so I turned to ask the old man: What if we can't get through? Can't you get out? The old man smiled and said that it won't work, if you still can't pass after seven consecutive failures, the old body will cancel the formation, but then you will have to go back and forth.
With such a domineering tone, is it only you who have this way? I said disdainfully.
If you don't believe me, you can go out and see if there's a second way around here. The old body is a lot older, and he won't fool you. The old man took my words and said.
Senior Brother Sha said: Senior brother and second senior brother, it seems that we have no second way, let's go, this is not our territory after all. Brother Monkey thought for a moment, and then stepped out the door.
The old man said in the back: "Many hearts, it is better to pass it at once, otherwise it will be in vain for my junior brother to praise your words in the letter."
He still praises us? I said.
Not him! It's his junior brother! Senior Brother Sha corrected. I see!
When I went out, I saw that there were already many clouds gathered in front of the door, dodging and dodging, giving people a sense of fluctuation. The road is naturally gone, if we haven't been sober, maybe the old pig will still think of this place as Penglai Yaotai; It's really poetic. I said Brother Monkey, what's wrong with this, I can't see the bottom.
Senior Brother Sha said: If you can see the bottom, how can it be called "Duan Yun Array"? Duan Yun ArrayDuan Yun Array, as the name suggests, is an array listed with clouds.
Senior Brother Sisha said very reasonably, so he nodded. Seeing that we were still lingering at the door, the old man came up and said: "I see that you are new to the city, and the junior brother is still praising you in the letter, and the old man will tell you the rules of the formation......
Brother Monkey waved his hand and said: Go away, go away, go away! Don't pretend to be a good person, if you really have that feeling, simply remove that formation and let us move on! Brother Monkey said indignantly.
The old man was forced to swallow back half of his words, and when Senior Brother Sha saw this, he hurriedly played a round and said: Old man, don't be angry, my senior brother's temper has not changed for thousands of years, don't mind.
I thought that if the old man didn't tell us a little basic common sense, then after we entered, we would be tantamount to headless flies, and we wouldn't know anything about the southeast and northwest, let alone pass smoothly.
Therefore, listening to what Senior Brother Sha said, I also hurriedly helped and said: Yes, yes! Don't be like him, old man; Let's talk about it, what are the rules of this formation?
The old man saw that I and Senior Brother Sha had spoken, so he continued: Have you seen those clouds in front of you? The white ones are singular numbers, and the red ones are even numbers; Each cloud represents an ordinal number, and only when you pass by according to a certain law, can you finally pass through the formation; Of course, it's up to us to decide whether to choose white or red. I didn't quite understand, so I asked the old man to explain it a little more clearly. The old man looked a little impatient, and said slowly: For example, if you are going to choose red, it means that you have chosen an even number, that is, two-four-six-eighty, then you have to follow the order of "two-four-six-eighty", or the order of "eighteen-six-four-four-two", or the order of some other law......
I see! I see! Before the old man could finish speaking, I shouted.
Senior Brother Sha said, Second Senior Brother, don't worry, listen to the old man!
The old man said, "That's pretty much it, now you can move forward."
I said old man, you are really ruthless, you don't want to tell us such important information, if there is no such law, wouldn't we have to go home?
The old man smiled and said: A person who really understands the formation will find the rules by himself, rather than relying on others to tell him.
I said you can do it, you yourself are studying this area, of course you can say this kind of thing, if you don't know anything about the formation like us, you don't have anything to say.
The old man didn't argue with me anymore, and then went back to his chair and sat down, facing us, as if intending to see how we broke the formation. So I shouted at the old man: Hey, can you not look at our side? Old pigs are not used to it! The old man said: Although you have broken the formation, the old body only looks at the result, and will not look at how you break the formation; I'm sitting here just trying to sleep.
It turned out to be sleeping! It seems that the old pig is making a fool of himself again.
Senior Brother Sha said: Senior brother and second senior brother, let's go down, anyway, sooner or later, right? I said to Brother Monkey: Brother Monkey, did you hear what we were talking to the old man just now? Don't make a fork! You are the leader, especially important! Brother Monkey said: When did Lao Sun say that he wanted to be the leader, didn't you two talk to the old man all the time? Lao Sun didn't hear anything! Didn't hear? How can it be? You said you didn't hear it so close? Obviously trying to shirk responsibility! I said indignantly. Brother Monkey said: No matter what you say, Lao Sun just didn't hear it, come, you take the lead! After saying that, Brother Monkey was ready to retreat. Senior Brother Sha hurriedly stopped him and said: Senior Brother, now is not the time to be angry, it is better for you to be well-informed, it is better for you to go ahead, and I will be your staff officer with Second Senior Brother.
In the end, of course, Brother Monkey went ahead, and I and Senior Brother Sha couldn't do it. The clouds ahead were still drifting. Senior Brother Sha said: Brother Monkey, should we choose white clouds or red ones? I said choose the red one, the red one is easier to identify.
Seeing that I spoke first, Brother Monkey began to drag me forward again: Come on! Here you go! Nerd, you're coming! Seems to be very capable! I hurriedly shut up again, and then leaned behind Senior Brother Sha. Brother Monkey thought for a while and said: Choose the red one! The old pig knew that he would choose the red one, and no wonder he would choose the white one unless he was a fool! It's about the same as air.
Senior Brother Sha said: So many clouds are red, which one represents two and which one represents four? Brother Monkey scratched his ears and scratched his head to figure out a way.
I stared at the floating clouds for a long time, and suddenly thought of a question, so I said to Brother Monkey and Senior Brother Sha: Do you say that the shade of color represents the size of the number? Senior Brother Sha glanced at me, then looked at Brother Monkey again, and said, "Well, maybe Second Senior Brother Er's opinion is correct.
Brother Monkey thought for a moment and said: For the time being, let's try according to the nerd's words. After a pause, Monkey took his first cautious step, stepping on a lightest pink cloud.
Senior Brother Sha and I both nervously observed the changes in the surrounding clouds, and saw that except for the cloud under Brother Monkey's feet, which stopped fluttering, the other clouds continued to flutter according to the original law.
Senior Brother Sha said: Senior brother, you have succeeded! Of course, this is only a small first step, and there are many clouds waiting for us. Every cloud will pass by us, and Brother Monkey will have to step on the cloud he has chosen as quickly as it floats by, lest it slip away. When Brother Monkey safely took the first step, Senior Brother Sha and I also stepped on it, and then stared at the clouds coming and going around with the same nervousness.
Suddenly, a piece of color slightly darker than the one under our feet, and slightly lighter than the color of the clouds around it, slowly drifted towards us.
I tugged at the sleeve of Brother Monkey's coat and pointed it out to him. Brother Monkey ignored me, still staring intently ahead. Senior Brother Sha looked at it and said, "Second Senior Brother, don't pull it, Senior Brother, he is looking at the same piece as you." I thought that if I had color blindness, it would be troublesome, and there was no way to keep it.
Seeing that cloud floated over, I saw Brother Monkey step on it with one arrow step. Senior Brother Sha and I were still stunned, and suddenly found that the cloud had stopped fluttering again, which means that we had chosen the right one again. I and Senior Brother Sha cheered: yes!! What are you doing? The old man's voice came.
When we looked back, we realized that the old man was already standing behind us at some point, looking at us. After figuring out the reason, the old man said: Don't be too happy, there are many more to come, one is more difficult to choose than the other, you should pay attention; Getting carried away is a big taboo in doing things.
Sure enough, the clouds behind them became more and more unrecognizable, each one of the same color. I said we should have brought a magnifying glass so we wouldn't have to worry about it. Brother Monkey said nerd, you can talk about those useless things.
Obviously, our eyesight is limited, and we can't tell very accurately which cloud represents six and which cloud represents eight. Senior Brother Sha said: Senior brother, try your luck, choose any one! I can't help it.
Brother Monkey thought about it for a while, and sure enough, he did it according to Senior Brother Sha's method. Brother Monkey aimed at a cloud and stepped on it again without hesitation as before.
But unexpectedly, the cloud did not stop, but continued to drift away. Just when we were all wondering, we suddenly found that several of us had retreated to the original place at some point, and even the two clouds that we had stepped on before were gone.
Senior Brother Sha said: Alas! What a failure!
Brother Monkey is relatively simple, and only scolded: Grandma's.
I said Brother Monkey, let's just don't play this game with him, let's just come hard and beat the old man, the old pig doesn't believe that his body bones are beaten with iron, and he doesn't believe that he doesn't revoke this formation.
Second Senior Brother, that's not good, we're on someone else's territory now; Besides, he is the senior brother of the old man of Meishan, why are we embarrassed to do it? If his old man knew about it, he would definitely despise us, and maybe he would seek revenge on us. Without waiting for Brother Monkey to speak, Senior Brother Sha spoke.
What do you say? Did you break the formation? Suddenly, an old voice rang out.
Let's look back and see that it was the old man of the Lotus Monk, who was already standing behind us at some point, and was smiling at this time, and it was he who spoke. When did you come? I looked curious: Didn't you just say you were going to sleep? Why did you get up in a while? Do you hear what we say?
I didn't hear it, but the old body has been watching your every move. The old man said.
It's over, the old pig said that he wanted to beat him up just now, and he must have heard it.
But the old man didn't seem to hear those words, but he walked up to us and said meaningfully: Young people, you must not be impetuous, you must think twice, otherwise you will not be able to achieve a career. I wanted to refute him, but I couldn't find a reason. Brother Monkey ignored it, and then continued his observation.
Sure enough, this time the formation changed again, there were only two kinds of clouds, white and red, but now there are three colors of clouds: white, red and green, and there is more green. Of course, their colors are very different and they are easy to distinguish, but the real problem is that one more color gives one more choice, although it will not have much impact on our final result, but then it will be more colorful and dazzling; Naturally, it is more difficult to choose.
It seemed that the old man was about to say something, but as soon as Brother Monkey turned around, Senior Brother Sha and Senior Brother Sha also followed, so he had no choice but to leave in a funny way. This time we chose the new green, it is estimated that Brother Monkey has the same mind as my old pig: red is not good, so let's change it.
This time, Brother Monkey decided to start with the darkest cloud, which was the opposite of the previous order. The darkest one is easier to recognize, so Brother Monkey will find it at once. Then it was not easy to do, and after about half an hour of hesitation, Brother Monkey took another step towards another cloud.
Senior Brother Sha and I held their breath behind Brother Monkey and paid attention to the movement of the clouds. At this time, Brother Monkey turned around and said: Don't be so concentrated, okay, Lao Sun feels a lot of pressure! I hurriedly straightened up and said, "Okay, okay!"
To be honest, if I had to choose the old pig, the old pig would still choose red, because green is really not easy to identify, as if every cloud is the same, or even identical. Fortunately, the cloud that Brother Monkey stepped on at his feet stopped, and lay quietly at Brother Monkey's feet. The three of us breathed a long sigh of relief almost at the same time.
Then it's time to look for a third cloud. Brother Monkey asked us after looking back and forth left and right: Idiot! Senior Brother Sha! Do you see that the first two are darker? Looking along the direction of Brother Monkey, I saw two green clouds floating side by side at a distance of a zhang from us, which at first glance were similar, and it was indeed difficult to distinguish which was deeper and which was shallow.
Senior Brother Sha said: It seems to be the one on the left! I can't say that, because the one on the right is deeper.
After a while, I said, "It's really the one on the left that is darker." It seems that Brother Monkey is also the one on the left in the photo, because I found that his eyes are also staring at it.
In this way, it is probably the same one. But just as it was three steps away from us, the three of us cried out in unison: No! It should be the one on the right! Because now that the clouds are closer to us, we can see more carefully, although the colors of the two flowers are almost the same, but if we carefully distinguish them, we can still distinguish them. So, we didn't react until the clouds came to us.
Of course, Brother Monkey's reaction was relatively fast, and I saw Brother Monkey step on the cloud on the right with one foot. Sure enough, the cloud stopped, and it never moved again. We're all happy.
Senior Brother Sha said: Senior Brother Second Senior Brother, what did you say just now? Why do they suddenly change color? I didn't figure out why, but then Brother Monkey did.
Brother Monkey said: It must be because I was too far away and was affected by the light just now. After listening to Brother Monkey's words, Senior Brother Sha and I both nodded, feeling that Brother Monkey was very reasonable.
Then we started looking for the next target. Compared to the front, the choice in the back is getting easier and easier, because there are fewer and fewer clouds left, so it is relatively easy.
When the last green cloud was trampled under the feet of Brother Monkey, all the misty scenes in front of him were gone, and the surroundings were back to the same as when we came last night.
All three of us were happy; I hurriedly ran to the old man and shouted, "Hey, you get up and see, let's pass!" The old man was still sleeping at the time, and when I shouted so loudly, he immediately woke up, and muttered while looking around: Passed? Really? I said it could lie to you, so get up and see for yourself! The old man stood up, and when he saw that the clouds in front of him had disappeared, the old man looked very happy.
The old man said: It's really good, the old body has been researching for more than ten years and someone has finally been able to break it! It's terrifying!
Then the old man hurriedly told us to rest, saying that he was going to prepare a meal for us.
Senior Brother Sha said no, I said why not? He had promised to entertain us after he approved it; Right? Brother Monkey! I turned to Brother Monkey and asked.
I don't know! Brother Monkey replied briefly, then got up and stood up.
The meal was quickly ready, and the old man was still full of praise while we ate. Senior Brother Sha said: You should rest for a while, your mouth is dry, right? The old man said it was okay, he hadn't been so happy for a long time, and he had to say more. I thought that this old man was so strange, and he was so happy to meet his opponent. But when I think about it, isn't it a good thing to have an opponent in this world who can match my ability? The strength of the enemy proves that you are strong, it seems to be this logic.
After eating, it was almost noon, and we also stood up and said goodbye, the old man originally planned to stay with us for one night, but Brother Monkey said that he had to go ahead as soon as possible to find the next place to stay, and he was in a hurry.
The old man said, "In that case, I won't force you." When we were leaving, the old man sent us far away, I guess he hasn't been here for a long time, right? There was grass everywhere on the side of the road, and it could be seen that the old man was very lonely.
