Metamorphosis - Many Disasters (32)
We don't know how many forests we passed through in the middle, but we can't remember it anyway. One is because we have passed through too many forests along the way; The second is that I can't take care of the count.
After walking a long way, we finally came across a family, so we got some food at his house. Of course, it wasn't for nothing, Brother Monkey gave him a lot of money. Let's ask him the way ahead. And the man of the house said, "Go to the front?" Oh, yes! What's wrong? Brother Monkey asked. Oh! It's nothing! The man said, "It's just that most of the people I went along the way were mountains and forests, and there were many poisonous snakes and beasts in them, so I just wanted to tell you to be careful." Brother Monkey said of course, thank you for the reminder.
When I heard that there were mountains and forests ahead, I couldn't help but cry out bitterly, saying that I didn't know how far this mysterious space would go before it came to an end. Senior Brother Sha comforted and said, "Second Senior Brother, what are you afraid of?" The mountains and forests are good! The air quality in the mountains and forests is good, so you don't have to worry about respiratory infections. I said that the old pig would rather cough than go far to those ghost places. Brother Monkey said that you are not at the level of nerd, and you show our strength in front of outsiders, so you have to wait for us to talk about it in private! The man said that if you are going to go straight ahead, you had better bring more dry food and water, so that you don't go hungry when you get there. I said of course, I don't need you to say what we all know, we are more worried than you when it comes to food.
That's right! I then said, "Do you have any chickens and ducks or anything like that?" Kill two of them and bring them to my old pig. The man was speechless, as if he had something on his mind. I immediately understood, so I hurriedly said to him: Don't worry, the old pig won't eat your things for nothing, and money is naturally not a problem. So I stretched out my hand to Brother Monkey, and then Brother Monkey thought for a while and put his hand into the tiger skin skirt, and then took out a large stack of banknotes. I took out half of it and gave it to the man, then picked up the other half and said, "As long as you prepare it for us, the money is also yours."
So the man began to prepare as we were told, and by the way, to prepare our dinner. Men need to prepare these things: mountain fruits, baked cakes, and roasted whole chicken.
It's not hard for everyone to see which of us will eat them. At first, the man said that he couldn't make a whole roasted chicken, but I immediately gave him a stack of money, so he said he would. It can be seen that money is a wonderful thing. The reason why I want to burn the whole chicken is because I feel that if I chop the chicken into pieces, then I will not eat the head, and I will not be able to satisfy the appetite of my old pig; Besides, if it is chopped together, then Brother Monkey and Senior Brother Sha will inevitably get a piece of the pie, which will be a big loss for my old pig.
Of course, it is more likely that the senior brother will share the soup, and Brother Monkey doesn't like to eat those greasy things.
It's a pity that the man's wife is very beautiful, so I wonder if she was abducted here; Of course, the reason why I want to mention that women are beautiful is because I think of Sister Qing when I see her. And the reason why I say that women are beautiful is a pity, because although women are beautiful, the male owner is more terrifying.
After resting with them for the night, we set out the next morning, before the sun had fully risen. Brother Sha and I each carried a backpack, which contained mountain fruits and water, and this backpack contained baked cakes and roast chicken. It was Brother Monkey's idea, and Brother Monkey said that he didn't want those pure mountain fruits to be stained with greasy things.
After coming out and walking for a while, I originally wanted Brother Monkey to carry a backpack for a while, but Brother Monkey said that he couldn't, because he was too thin. Senior Brother Sha said: Second Senior Brother, you should work hard, Senior Brother is also quite hard to explore the road in front.
It was almost noon when we came to an open field. Brother Monkey said that it is rare to see such an open place, so it is better for us to stop and rest for a while. I immediately agreed with Brother Monkey's statement, so I fell down with a pop. When I fell, I stopped in my backpack and made a "click", and then I remembered that there was still roast chicken in my backpack, so I quickly moved away. Brother Monkey said: Let's eat! So we picked up our food and ate it.
In the process of eating roast chicken, I saw Senior Brother Sha raise his head and look at me many times, I guess he smelled the aroma of roast chicken, and he also wanted a piece of the pie. However, I have already thought of a countermeasure, that is, to walk around while eating, so that Senior Brother Sha will not be able to stare at me directly, and then I will not have to have a psychological burden.
Just as I was walking and eating, I suddenly saw several colors of carpets appear in front of me. I was very surprised, so I quickly told Brother Monkey and Senior Brother Sha what I saw. Brother Monkey said nerd, don't talk nonsense, where is the carpet here sparsely populated, even if there is a carpet in someone's house, not to mention that there is still grass in front. I said, Brother Monkey, you don't believe yourself, get up and look at it.
Senior Brother Sha was the first to stand up. Senior Brother Sha also shouted when he saw it: Senior Brother, what Second Senior Brother said is true, you get up and take a look, there is really a carpet in front of you! And there was more than one, as if there were three or more, neatly arranged. Hearing that Senior Brother Sha said that there was also one, Brother Monkey immediately stood up without hesitation. Senior Brother Sha listens to Brother Monkey more, and Brother Monkey prefers to listen to Senior Brother Sha's words, I don't know if there is any connection between them.
Brother Monkey came over to take a look, and he was also surprised, because there was really something like a carpet in front of him. Brother Monkey said, let's hurry up and finish eating, go over and have a look. Brother Monkey is a person who likes to watch the excitement, if there is excitement somewhere and there is no him, it must be abnormal. Therefore, Brother Monkey told us to eat quickly, and after eating, everyone went over and had a look. I didn't want to eat it so quickly, but listening to Brother Monkey's words seemed to give an order, I had to eat the remaining half of the roast chicken in three bites.
After that, we headed in that direction, and Brother Monkey took the brunt of the lead. When I got closer, I saw that it was not a carpet, but the color of the grass growing on the ground. Yes, although they are grasses, they are not all green, and one of them is yellow and tender; One is pale red, and the other is grass green, but the color is also very light.
Senior Brother Sha screamed when he saw it: Wow! There are so many colors of weeds! If I say what you're fussing about, how bad it is for people to hear it, isn't that tantamount to saying that we don't have knowledge? After hearing this, Senior Brother Sha quickly stopped talking, and couldn't stop looking around.
I'm going to go over and see what is going on, why is the grass still colored? But he was pulled by Brother Monkey. Brother Monkey said: There must be a reason for such a strange thing, we can't act rashly, you two stand here first, and wait for my grandson to go to investigate. My enthusiasm immediately cooled down, but Brother Monkey jumped over.
Senior Brother Sha came over and comforted me and said, "Second Senior Brother, don't be discouraged, I'll tell Brother Monkey to tell you to go to the front to explore the way." I said that old pigs are not rare, everything is his monkey brother in front! Senior Brother Sha smiled and said Second Senior Brother, you are really right, Brother Monkey is just afraid that there is danger ahead, so he should react faster; Besides, it's not the same who looks first and then watches? If something grows there, there will be no missing piece.
I thought that this was true, so I was slowly relieved.
I saw Brother Monkey walk over and walk back and forth around the edge of those lawns a few times, and then shouted at us: Idiot! Senior Brother Sha! Come here! Senior Brother Sha said: Second Senior Brother, let's go, now it's our turn, let's see enough when we get close. When we passed, Brother Monkey was squatting on the ground and looking around, as if he was looking for something.
Senior Brother Sha said: Senior brother, what are you looking for? Brother Monkey said: Lao Sun, look at what these things look like. When you get closer, you can see that these weeds are only a part of this clearing in the middle of the valley; But the only thing that surprised me was that the colored weeds were separated from the normal colored weeds on the side, as if someone had planted them alone. Of course, this is not the case, because there are also other weeds in between, and they look chaotic.
I saw that they looked strange, so I wanted to touch them with my hand to see what they were like; But as soon as my hand was stretched out, Brother Monkey's stern voice immediately came: Idiot! Don't move! Brother Monkey shouted very suddenly, and I was shocked. I looked at him in bewilderment, a little aggrieved.
Brother Monkey said what are you doing? Don't you want to die? Feel free to touch them; Don't you see how strange they look? What if it's poisonous? I thought about Brother Monkey thoughtfully, and actually thought of that kind of situation, it seems that the old pig really has to study hard with him. Although I didn't feel very comfortable, I felt that what Brother Monkey said was also very right, so I finally retracted my hand.
We walked along the path in the middle, to the middle of the grass, and then to the intersection of pale yellow and red.
Suddenly, the monkey brother who was walking in front fell to the ground with a bang. I joked and said: Brother Monkey, no matter how excited you are, you don't need to be like this! Brother Monkey said fart, and it wasn't my grandson who took the initiative to do this; Lao Sun seems to have hit a wall just now. I said, Brother Monkey, what are you kidding, how can there be a wall when it's empty here? Brother Monkey said that if you don't believe it, you can go up and try it yourself, and keep it the same as my grandson. While laughing at Brother Monkey's suspicion, I went up from the back to the front, taking Brother Monkey's place, and then took the brunt of the front.
"Bang", I had just stepped out of my left foot when my head suddenly hit something hard; Could it be a wall? But when I looked up, there was still nothing in front of me. It's still the air that's empty. So I took another step forward, and this time I knew, what was in front of me, but strangely I couldn't see anything. I had no choice but to go back and ask Brother Monkey: Brother Monkey, do you think this place is equipped with glass? Brother Monkey said, there can still be glass here; Besides, no matter how transparent the glass is, you can still see it! Brother Monkey is right, no matter what transparent substance is, it is impossible to compare with the transparency of air.
Now I understand, that is to say, our way is blocked by an invisible thing, and we can't get through. Senior Brother Sha said: I'll take a look! I said that no matter who comes, it's the same, I and Brother Monkey have collided, you should pay attention to yourself! Senior Brother Sha said of course. Senior Brother Sha really accumulated experience from us, because he didn't walk over directly like me and Brother Monkey, but reached forward with his hand to test it.
Really! Senior brother and second senior brother! Come and see, the air in front of this is actually hard, almost like a wall! Brother Monkey said: Save it, Lao Sun already knows how powerful it is. I beckoned Senior Brother Sha to come and sit with us, saying that we would come up with a way together and then go over.
Senior Brother Sha laughed and said, "Second Senior Brother, you are really, so forgetful; We can't get through here, can't we get around it yet? I said yes, why didn't the old pig think of it? After finishing speaking, Senior Brother Sha began to help Brother Monkey get up, and then we began to walk to the back.
"Bang", suddenly, there was a sound in front, and then I saw Brother Monkey who was walking in front squatting down with his head covered, which made Senior Brother Sha and I stunned. I hurriedly ran forward and asked, "Brother Monkey, what's wrong with you?" Brother Monkey said: Grandma, why is the air in front of this as hard as the one in the back? Senior Brother Sha said: No, and then he went to test it with his hands.
Really! Senior Brother Sha shouted. I also walked to the front and touched it, and it was really similar to the place I hit just now, and it was also hard. Since you can't go back and forth, it's always okay to take the "side door"! So I walked to the side. But unfortunately, I found that I couldn't get out of here either. I said that Brother Monkey is finished here, and it is estimated that it is the formation set up by the master here, so that we can get in.
As soon as the words fell, a burst of laughter suddenly came from above. We looked up at the same time, and saw an old man with gray hair standing in the air directly above us, smiling at us!
Old man! But you were laughing? Is this your game? The old man laughed again and said: That's right, the old man has been cultivating here for many years, and he realized this "Gateless Gate" formation, now that you have broken in, it is better to take this opportunity to try its power; So far, not a single person has passed. I haven't passed through so far, which means that this battle is very powerful.
But I didn't give up, so I asked the old man: How many people have passed through here? The old man said, "So far, there hasn't been." Senior Brother Sha said that would be good. What did I say? If no one passes by, it means that the old man doesn't know how powerful it is, so wouldn't we suffer even more? Senior Brother Sha thought for a while and said, "Well, it makes sense.
When the old man saw us whispering, he said, "Isn't that good?" It's your first time! Brother Monkey was more annoyed and asked the old man: What kind of bureau are you setting up here for no reason? and all that come in are afflicted. The old man said: The old man respects the talented people the most in this life, if you can go out of here smoothly today, then the old man will not only treat each other with courtesy, but also give them courtesy; Otherwise......
How else? I asked.
Otherwise, you have only one way, and that is to go back the way you came. Brother Monkey said: Old man, don't make trouble, we still have to hurry, I don't have time to play with you, let us out quickly, otherwise Lao Sun will not be polite. Senior Brother Sha hurriedly pulled Brother Monkey's sleeve and signaled him to speak more carefully. Brother Monkey didn't appreciate it, and said: You can't pull Lao Sun to him, if you don't let us out now.
The old man was not angry, but just laughed and said: You are so angry, as if you can do anything to the old body, you can come out first, and then compete with me, otherwise the old man will think that you are bragging. The old man also said: If you can really come out, then there are still two formations waiting for you outside; If you can successfully pass three formations in a row, then the old body has nothing to say, keep it and eat and drink to entertain you.
After the old man finished speaking, he was about to leave, but Brother Monkey suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly stopped the old man again: Hey! Old man! Dare to ask the surname Gao? What's so important about this situation? The old man seemed to be very satisfied with Brother Monkey's words, because he then turned around with a smile: "The old body forgot to tell you, this place is called Qingyou Valley, so the old body is called Qingyou Valley Layman; Of course, it's okay for you to call me an old man, and you won't mind; As for the elaboration of this formation, it is more cumbersome, but you can slowly explore it.
I said, old man, don't tell us to explore slowly, we don't have so much time to play with you. The old man thought for a moment and said, "The old man can only tell you that the only way for you to go is to keep walking in the direction of the front, until you have walked through these colored lawns, and there is no way out in other places; Moreover, it is not so easy for you to go forward in order, because there is only one invisible passage between each two colored lawns to cross to the other side, and only one person can pass through it at a time, and there is also a characteristic of walking through the invisible passage that it rotates - although you cannot see it, as soon as you stand in front of the passage you will be rotated to its original position.
I thought that it must be similar to the principle of the revolving door, and I was very curious, so I asked: Wouldn't we all be able to pass through that case? The old man laughed and said, "In theory, yes, but in practice it is not, as long as you are smart enough, you can go out." Brother Monkey bared his teeth and looked annoyed.
I hurriedly comforted Brother Monkey and said: Brother Monkey, you must not get on fire, we don't have Wang Laoji if you get on fire. Brother Monkey really got angry, because then he flipped over with a heel fight. I understand, Brother Monkey must be trying to get out of the place where the old man is standing above. But it's a pity that Brother Monkey miscalculated, because the air above is the same as the air around us, all of them are hard, because Brother Monkey just turned over and fell down with a pop not long after.
Senior Brother He Sha hurriedly stepped forward to visit, and Brother Monkey stood up by himself, looking at the old man angrily. The old man said, "It is useless for you to rampage, for now you are in a transparent, but sturdy room, and you can only get out if you find the passage." After the old man finished speaking, he looked at us again, as if to remember our appearance, and then walked away. Senior Brother Sha stroked Brother Monkey's chest and said, "Senior Brother, don't be angry, since things are already like this, then we just need to find that door, okay?" I said yes! Oh, yes! It's useless to get angry now, you can only make yourself suffer. Brother Monkey said: You still say, if you didn't say that there is something to see here, would we come here? Are we going to get caught up? I said that even if the old pig doesn't say it, then don't we have to pass through here anyway? At that time, it was not the same as that would have been seen? …… Senior Brother Sha said yes, okay! Now arguing about who is wrong and who is right is not the main thing, the main thing now is how to find a way to get out.
Brother Monkey died down. Let's go to the side and feel around, and we can figure out the approximate range of the surrounding "doorless gate", which is basically the same as the growth area of the color lawn.
Brother Monkey said: Grandma's, no wonder these grasses are colorful, they turned out to be traps! Listening to the tone of Brother Monkey's words, it seemed as if he was blaming me for not bringing them here.
Since the old man said that the doorless door is in it, then it must be in it, it's just a question of where. We groped around, hoping to find the way out, but unfortunately we couldn't find it for a long time. Senior Brother Sha said: I think the old man will definitely arrange the passage in a relatively secret place, a place that is not easy to find. Where is that? I asked. What a pig's head! Brother Monkey said: Where else is there besides the corner? I'm thinking about it, maybe the place to go out is in the corner of the wall, there is a dead corner, if I want the old pig to arrange an exit, the old pig will also choose there.
But the problem arises, the first is that I don't know how high the top of the Gateless Gate is, although Brother Monkey has hit it once before, but I forgot it because of the pain, but at least it is certain that it will not be as high as only one person; The second is that we don't have a ladder, and if we want to go up and find a doorless door, it's impossible.
Problems and methods are always interdependent, and where there are problems, there are solutions, so in the end we still found a solution. Here's how it works: the three of us stack it up, and then the person at the top can touch the top of the doorless door, and it seems to be just right. Of course, when stacking Arhats, the old pig deservedly stood at the bottom of the team, because I was the largest and had the strongest support ability; Senior Brother Sha is in the middle; Brother Monkey is the lightest, so at the top. I think it's still good to lose weight, otherwise it wouldn't be my old pig who bears the weight of two people now.
But unfortunately, we went around the whole range of the Gateless Gate, and still did not find the passage that the old man had mentioned. The monkey brother at the top jumped down suddenly, saying that he wouldn't play anymore! Lao Sun was tired to death. I said Brother Monkey, you are embarrassed to say, the old pig didn't say a word at the bottom, and you were embarrassed to say that you were tired.
Brother Monkey ignored me, but stood up and jumped around, as if he was about to go to heaven and earth. At that time, Brother Monkey looked like a praying mantis, showing off his bouncing ability.
After a sharp jump, Brother Monkey suddenly stopped. I smiled and said What kind of monkey brother, are you tired? Brother Monkey glanced at me, and then said seriously: Lao Sun went out just now. Senior Brother Sha looked at Brother Monkey, and then at me again, and at first glance, he knew that he didn't believe it. Since Senior Brother Sha didn't believe it, my old pig had no reason to believe it, so I still smiled and said: Brother Monkey, you blow it, anyway, you don't have to pay taxes. Brother Monkey stood up immediately, and suddenly understood, and I came to grab me by the collar and said: Who is bragging? Lao Sun had just gone out! I hurriedly said: Okay, good! You've been out, and now you just don't want to go out again.
For people like Brother Monkey, you have to be a little more obedient when you are hairy, otherwise he will turn his face with you. Senior Brother Sha got serious, walked over and asked, "Senior Brother, have you really gone out?" When? Brother Monkey looked very aggrieved and said: Can Lao Sun still lie at this time? It was just now, but I was immediately sent back when my talent went out.
Senior Brother Sha asked thoughtfully: What's going on? Brother Monkey was also at a loss: How do I know this? Seeing Brother Monkey's serious appearance, I also reacted that Brother Monkey couldn't be lying, so I also stepped forward and asked: Brother Monkey, how do you say this? Brother Monkey glanced at me, then looked at the position between me and Senior Brother Sha and said to himself: Lao Sun bumped into it again just now, but the strange thing is that I felt that my body turned in a circle, and then I felt the fresh air, but it was only a momentary feeling, because I was immediately turned in a circle again, and then I came here.
I said: Brother Monkey, what you said seems to be a bit mysterious. Senior Brother Sha thought for a while and said: Second Senior Brother, don't say that, what Senior Brother has experienced may be true, don't you forget that the old man once said that the doorless door can be rotated, and those who go out will be rotated back. Hearing Senior Brother Sha say this, I remembered it again, the old man did say so, and at that time I also said something "I can't go out".
Brother Monkey looked even more annoyed, and said to Senior Brother Sha: What is called "may be true", it is true! Do you think that Lao Sun is full of food, and he is still joking at this time. In this way, the doorless passage is at the top of this space. Brother Monkey said that the old man is smart, where would ordinary people think of opening the door at the top!
Since this is the case, then let's stack Arhats again, and then Brother Monkey slowly straightens up and approaches the top. Brother Monkey touched around there, and finally Brother Monkey said: Hey, I found it, and it was really here. I looked around, and the place where Brother Monkey touched was probably right in the center of this space. Although I found the passage to the doorless door, how to get out has become a problem, because as Brother Monkey said, after going out, it will be bounced back immediately.
Brother Monkey still has a lot of ideas, and after thinking about it for a long time, Brother Monkey suddenly said that he had thought of a way.
Senior Brother Sha asked what the solution was, and Brother Monkey said that he couldn't say it yet, and he would know whether it was feasible or not after trying it. I said that since I had already thought of a way, I would give it a try anyway. Brother Monkey asked me to hold hands with him, and then bumped into him together. I asked Brother Monkey if it would hurt a lot, and Brother Monkey said no, at most it was just as heavy as I usually hit your head.
Brother Monkey also said, saying that once one of us goes out and feels that it is out, we must immediately let go of our hands. I asked why, Brother Monkey was impatient and said where do you have so many questions? Can't you just do it? After shouting one, two, three, I and Brother Monkey both rose from the ground, just when I touched something hard, I suddenly felt that the air I was breathing was fresh, thinking of what Brother Monkey said before, I immediately realized that this must be outside, so I immediately let go of my hand.
Sure enough, I was outside, because I was standing in mid-air at this time, and there was nothing underneath, it was completely transparent. Brother Monkey fell down again, and was lying on the ground at this time. Brother Monkey spoke: Idiot, you stand aside! When didn't the old pig stand aside? Really. So I moved to the side, and it was a transparent house. I don't know how the old man got it.
Then I saw Brother Monkey and Senior Brother Sha also holding hands like we did before, and then they flew up together, and then I saw Senior Brother Sha come out, and then I saw Senior Brother Sha squatting there holding Brother Monkey's hand and didn't let go.
Second Senior Brother! Come and help! Senior Brother Sha was shouting.
Here it comes! So I ran over. I saw that Brother Monkey only came out with one arm, and the others seemed to be stuck below. Senior Brother Sha said: Yes! Brother Monkey was indeed stuck, and hurriedly came over to help pull him out. I agreed, and then went up to help.
Finally, Brother Monkey's body was pulled out by us little by little. As soon as Brother Monkey came up, he shouted: It hurts me to death! It hurts to death! I was very curious, and asked Brother Monkey what the hell was going on, and how did we get here? How did you come up with this idea? Brother Monkey said: You still don't believe you when you say you're stupid, and you don't know what's going on until you come up! Senior Brother Sha happened to be next to him and said: Yes, Brother Monkey, I don't understand it yet. Brother Monkey had nothing to say now, so he had to tell us the truth obediently.
Brother Monkey said: Since this doorless door and revolving door are the same truth, it means that you can still come out, but you have to hurry up; The reason why I want the two of them to bump into each other is because then one of them has a chance to grab the edge of the doorless door and come out.
I said, "What's the matter with you getting stuck?" Brother Monkey said that this problem is a little more complicated, the situation at that time was that I also sent Senior Brother Sha out, if it was the same as the previous time, then Lao Sun could only fall again, but that didn't work, I had to come out; So when I came up with Senior Brother Sha, I told Senior Brother Sha that no matter who came up, we couldn't let go, otherwise we would fall down again, and then we wouldn't be able to get up; That's the reason why Lao Sun was stuck just now, but fortunately, my body is thin and weak, if Senior Brother Sha stays inside, it will probably be more uncomfortable.
After Brother Monkey said this, Senior Brother Sha and I suddenly realized: I see!
Just as we were about to get up and continue walking, a hearty laugh suddenly sounded behind us: hahahahaha...... When I looked back, it was the old man who had set up the formation earlier. When the old man saw that we all came out, he seemed to be very happy, and said: Not bad, not bad, the future is terrible, and the old man admires it. Brother Monkey stood up and asked vigilantly, "When did you come?"
The old man said, "I never left, I have been watching, but you are too serious to notice me." Did you hear everything we just said? Brother Monkey asked.
Hear me! Hear me! The old man replied. Brother Monkey looked annoyed.
Senior Brother Sha hurriedly persuaded him: Senior Brother forget it, we didn't say anything confidential, he just listened to it, anyway, it won't get in the way. Brother Monkey said: Old man, you should express yourself if you toss us for a long time.
What did the old man say? Brother Monkey said to find us something to eat. I said yes, yes, I was already hungry for most of the day.
The old man laughed, took out a large stack of baked cakes from his sleeve, handed them to us, and said, "Then, this is for you to eat, so you don't need water, right?" I know you have. I wondered if this old man must have been clever, otherwise how would he have known that we had brought water? Let's take the baked cake and eat it, and the old man spoke again: You eat slowly, the old body will avoid it first, and then you will continue to walk forward after eating, there is still a formation waiting for you.
Yes? Hearing this, Brother Monkey immediately stood up, like a rooster ready to fight. Brother Monkey stuffed the baked cakes in his hand to Senior Brother Sha, and then rushed up to catch the old man.
The old man's skills are so agile, and he is actually fast enough for Brother Monkey to run far away in one step. Brother Monkey also sped up his pace, and suddenly, with a "bang", Brother Monkey was bounced back and fell to the ground.
I said, Brother Monkey, are you okay? How did it bounce back again? Brother Monkey said he didn't know, grandma's, it must be this old man's ghost again. I said that there is no need to talk about it, he admitted it himself. Senior Brother Sha said: Forget it, since we have all been planted in his hands, we have to do what he says, isn't it just a few formations? It's not like we haven't passed through before, so we're afraid of something. I said that this is the only way to do it at present, and other people's territory is up to them.
After going down to the ground, we tried to find a place to get out, because now the place we walked through was the same as in the previous doorless space, and the surroundings were all hard, and it was impossible to go outside, and we had no other way than to follow the path designed by the old man.
It wasn't long before we came to another reddish meadow.
Suddenly, the old man reappeared. I said complainingly: Old man, can you notify us when you come out, it's always elusive. The old man said that I didn't actually leave you, but you couldn't see me. So you're still invisible? Senior Brother Sha asked curiously. Of course! The old man replied with a firm answer. It's not easy, you can be invisible.
The old man said don't underestimate people, I can not only be invisible, but also have some spells. Isn't that nonsense when I say you? How many of the people who can set up the formation eat dry rice? The old man said that this is not true, and some people can only set up formations and not spells. Brother Monkey said, idiot, what are you involved with him? As if you're friends? He's trapped us here, and you still don't hate him? When the old man heard this, he laughed and said that hatred is the root of evil, and that one cannot hate another, otherwise the seeds of hatred will grow in his heart.
Brother Monkey said okay, okay, Lao Sun doesn't want to listen to your theoretical class, you tell us how this space is done, why can't we get out? The old man said: Don't think that if you know a little magic, the old body can't do anything to you, this is called one thing to one thing; In fact, as soon as I beat you, I already saw that you were not simple, but I didn't say it; Now it seems that it is really not easy. However, the old man went on to say: "Fortunately, I have learned these spells, and it would be a big trouble to let someone with ulterior motives learn them." I ask what Dafa is?
The old man thought for a while and said, "At least you can't get out of here safely now." I wondered if it was. Just when I was about to ask something, Brother Monkey's vicious eyes swept over, so I had to keep silent. At the end, the old man added: "Unless you can pass through these formations smoothly, it will be impossible to pass through, and of course, let alone escape from here."
It's true? Brother Monkey asked.
Try it if you don't believe it! The old man replied in the affirmative, and it seemed that he was confident that he would keep us under control. But; The old man then comforted and said: As long as you pass these formations, the old body will let you go, otherwise don't say that the old man is impersonal, the old man is the most talented.
Later, the old man pointed to the lawn in front of him and said, "This is the "Lily Array", and you must pass from here to the opposite side now before you can continue to move forward.
I looked in the direction pointed out by the old man, and saw that there was nothing left except for a few large stone slabs, where did the lily come from? It is estimated that the old man saw through my thoughts and said: Although the name of this place is Lily Array, the "lily" is not the "lily" of the lily, but a collection of the number one hundred.
Brother Monkey asks what does that mean?
The old man said, "If you look carefully at the slates, you will find that each slate is engraved with numbers, one circle after another; See? We followed the old man's direction, and sure enough, we saw a looming number on the stone slab. I said that you are really old man, and you don't figure them out, I can't see a short-sighted person like my old pig when the time comes! The old man said that he couldn't blame me for this, and it would naturally become like this after a long time.
Brother Monkey asked urgingly: What kind of trick are you talking about? The old man turned around and explained. It turned out that from where we are standing now to the opposite side, there are nearly ten arcs composed of stones, and the old man said, start with the shortest arc and choose a number, then go forward, continue to choose a number on the next arc, and then go forward and choose a number on the next arc...... And so it went on until you got to the opposite intersection.
It's as simple as that? I'm ecstatic, it's just a child playing a family game, and it's hard to get us?
But then the old man said: No! It's very categorical.
Still conditional? Senior Brother Sha asked. Well! The old man nodded his approval, and then said: After the numbers you have chosen along the way are coherent, you must be able to use the four symbols of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to get the final result - one hundred. Of course, the old man went on to say: you only need to mentally chant the symbols, and then choose the numbers directly, and then the spell will be able to determine whether you are moving correctly or not.
So amazing? It's the first time I've heard of such a fun game. That's it? Brother Monkey asked. I also reacted, if it was so simple, there would be no difficulty, just choose the numbers in advance at this end, and then walk all the way through. Therefore, at that time, I said to the old man: You have no technical content at all, and the old pig will not play! The old man said: Who said there is no technical content? The old body hasn't finished yet.
It turns out that the old man has one of the most important pieces of information to tell us, that is, every time we move forward in an arc, the stones on the next arc will rotate, and a series of stones will appear completely different from the previous ones. I wondered if this was high-tech, why did I get a spell hat and put it on? The old man said: Now that you know the rules, the old body will not delay your time; Remember, this formation is a test of people's adaptability. Brother Monkey said: Let's go, let's go! We're going to get started now.
As soon as Brother Monkey finished speaking, the old man disappeared. I said, Brother Monkey, it seems that this time it will all depend on you. Brother Monkey said, idiot, what do you mean by that? I said think about it, Senior Brother Sha is relatively slow to numbers, and I am engaged in writing work, and I am also not very sensitive to numbers, so who else can you be? Brother Monkey thought about it, and probably thought that what I said made sense, so he didn't speak. But Brother Monkey said: When Lao Sun passes over later, you must give the staff officer, after all, Lao Sun's ability alone is limited. I think this is not Brother Monkey's true words, if everyone thinks that Brother Monkey is a more democratic person, it is very wrong, I think Brother Monkey must be afraid that a person will bear the consequences, if it does not pass, then he is afraid that we will say that he is all to blame, but if we want him to advise, it is the responsibility of all of us if we fail.
Brother Monkey's wishful thinking is really good. But forget it, the most important thing now is to be consistent with the outside world, and to deal with the things in front of you first. When we got to the stones, we saw more clearly, indeed, as the old man said, many stones formed an arc one after another, spreading from near to front, this scene reminded me of the rippling ripples in the pond, circle by circle. Brother Monkey said: Tell me, which slate should I put on this first step?
I took a look, and there were five stone slabs in front of me, on which were the numbers 3, 6, 1, 4, and 2. I thought for a while and said: Brother Monkey, we want to make up enough for a hundred, so let's choose the smallest one first, so that it will be easier to calculate in the future. Brother Monkey thought for a moment, nodded and said: Okay, just listen to you idiot. So we stood together on the stone slab with the number 3 written on it.
At the moment when we just stood up, a few numbers on the arc in front of us suddenly turned, and when I stopped, I found that the original numbers had been changed, I remember that it seemed to be 9, 3, 5, 4, 7, 8, but now it has become 2, 5, 4, 9, 3, 7. Senior Brother Sha said: Ah, what a thousand changes! I said that there is no need to say it, otherwise how can the old man stump people?
Which one to choose now? Brother Monkey is asking us again.
I said Brother Monkey, did you make a mistake, I clearly said that you were in charge before, why are you asking about us now? Brother Monkey said that Lao Sun is in charge, but he said that he wants you to help the staff officers! I think Brother Monkey is cunning, for fear that he will fall into the trap.
But Senior Brother Sha spoke, Senior Brother Sha said: Senior Brother, look at it, there are four arcs in front, which means that there are not many numbers we have to choose, and 100 is not a small number, I think we should choose the largest one this time, so as not to make up enough in the end. Brother Monkey thought for a while and said, "Well, Senior Brother Sha has a point; Okay, let's pick the biggest one this time. So we stood on the slate with the number 9 written on it.
As soon as we stood up, the stone slabs on the third arc suddenly changed their original order, and now the numbers that appeared in front of us were 8, 4, 6, 2, 7, 9, and 3. Which one should you choose? I said Brother Monkey, you are better at math, so it's up to you to choose this time. Brother Monkey glanced at me, and probably didn't think I was calculating him, so he lowered his head and pondered. After a while, Brother Monkey finally raised his head. Brother Monkey said: According to Lao Sun's meaning, we might as well choose 4, the previous 9 and the current 4 can be added to get 13, which is a singular number; Subtracting 9 from 4 gives you 5, which is a single number; Multiply 9 and 4 to get 36, which is not only a large number, but also an even number, so that we take into account all aspects of the situation, and can be attacked and defended, how?
After listening to Brother Monkey's statement, I immediately took the lead in clapping my hands, saying Brother Monkey, you are really clever, such complex thoughts have been pondered by you, it seems that we have hope; It's up to you to decide next time! Brother Monkey said: Cut! I know that your old pig wants to take the opportunity to calculate me, and the next round will be your old pig's turn, let's have two circles per person, just right! So, together we stood on the slate with the number 9 written on it.
As soon as I stood up, the eight numbers on the arc in front of me immediately changed again, and eight other numbers appeared, which were 5, 7, 1, 9, 4, 3, 6, and 2. Brother Monkey said: Nerd, it's your turn! I seemed to tremble, and the more I got to the end, the more panicked I felt, like a pig about to be slaughtered.
I closed my eyes for a while, then looked at the numbers in front of me, and said hatefully: Choose 4! Brother Monkey tilted his head and asked: Why? I said no, the old pig has to choose 4. Brother Monkey said that you are really a god, and you can't even give a reason. To tell the truth, the old pig is blind, because what I hate the most is numbers, which are added and subtracted in a mess, and I am very annoyed; So this time I just messed up one. Brother Monkey said: Okay, you are responsible for all the consequences, if you are wrong. ……
In this way, we finally went to the road ahead, of course, Brother Monkey has the greatest credit, because the last two steps are all his master. If it weren't for Brother Monkey's flexible mind, counting peaches on the tree every day, and having a soft spot for numbers, maybe we would still be trapped in the battle now, and maybe we would be on our way home right now. I said Brother Monkey, you are amazing, you are the idol of my old pig! Brother Monkey said fart!
As soon as we passed, the old man appeared. The old man looked very happy, always smiling. I said, old man, have you made a mistake, other people's formations are broken, they are all sad, why are you so happy? What do you know, the old man? This is called a confidant, and the old body likes it the most.
Later, the old man invited us to a banquet, and although the meal was not very rich, it still satisfied the basic appetite. Before leaving, the old man sent us to the top of the mountain. I was a little worried and said: Old man, don't keep up with you when you're so old, bother! The old man said it was okay, and he just took the opportunity to take a walk. I thought that this old man must have been aggrieved, and the formation there was purely full of food.
