Metamorphosis - Many Disasters (20)

It's been half a day since we left the street, and we came through the mountain forest, that is, the mountain forest where the tiger lived; But there are still mountains and forests ahead, as if there is no end in sight.

Of course, there is naturally no home in such a remote environment, so my stomach is already hungry at this time. I said as I walked: Alas, I don't know how long this mysterious space is, this is clearly a real world; I wonder if that guy is lying to us and fooling us!

Senior Brother Sha said: Second Senior Brother, don't complain, just walk slowly when you're hungry, don't say anything discouraged; Now that Taibai Lao'er has confirmed Rulai's statement, it is obvious that there must be an end here, have you forgotten the scene of learning scriptures back then? Master didn't complain about the long distance along the way, but in the end, he still obtained the true scriptures! I said you should go first, the old pig wants to rest for a while, the old pig is just talking casually.

Brother Monkey became reluctant again, jumped up to me and said: Idiot, this is your good idea, but you yourself proposed it first, if you dare to give up halfway, it will be a shame! I said yes, yes! The old pig knows, can't the old pig continue to move forward with you? After saying that, I stood up again.

Senior Brother Sha said to Brother Monkey: "Senior Brother, we have already walked such a long way, and we haven't eaten yet, so we might as well sit down and rest." Brother Monkey thought for a while and felt that it made sense, so he nodded and said, "Okay, you sit here, and Lao Sun will go around to find out if there is anyone nearby."

I thought that Brother Monkey must have wanted to take the opportunity to find something to eat, so I shouted at his back: Brother Monkey, if you have fruits such as bananas, remember to bring some back to us, and you must not eat alone. Brother Monkey glanced back but didn't speak, and then moved on. Senior Brother Sha said: Second Senior Brother, don't worry, Senior Brother, he won't be that kind of person, didn't everyone have something to eat before? I said it wasn't necessarily, maybe he had already eaten some of it before, who knows? Senior Brother Sha shook his head with a smile and said, "Second Senior Brother, you, you!"

Before Brother Monkey came back, a large group of people followed, picking and lifting, and some leading horses and carrying things. Seeing this, Senior Brother Sha hurriedly pulled me up and stood on the side of the road, saying that he wanted to make way for them. I said, Senior Brother Sha, have you made a mistake, the road is half of the sky, and you need to make way? Senior Brother Sha said, Second Senior Brother, look at them, if they don't give way, they will definitely not be able to pass. I said that this is not our problem, this should be found by the relevant departments, it is they who have not built the road more widely. Although Mogami was reluctant, I still stood up.

Unlike the people we had seen before, these people didn't look surprised when they saw us, but continued to move on as if nothing had happened, and didn't thank us. I said, Senior Brother Sha, did you see it, the old pig said that it is not good to be a good person, and I can't even get a thank you if I make way for them. Senior Brother Sha said, Second Senior Brother, don't be like this, it's convenient for you to be convenient with others.

There were about twenty of them, and together with horses and other livestock, they formed a huge procession. After they had passed, I thought of a very important question, so I said to Senior Brother Sha: Senior Brother Sha, you wait here first, and the old pig will ask them. Senior Brother Sha asked: Second Senior Brother, why are you asking them for? I said I don't know, now we are most short of food, the old pig now go to ask them where there is a house nearby, it seems that they often walk this road, they must know, maybe, they will also be merciful to reward us with some dry food, then we don't have to wait hungry for Brother Monkey to come back. Senior Brother Sha thought for a while and said that it was a good idea, and said that we might as well go.

I said that would be fine.

When I was about to leave, Senior Brother Sha suddenly stopped me, I asked him what was the matter, Senior Brother Sha said: Second Senior Brother, our appearance is not so good-looking, we must be polite when we see them and ask them later, and we must not scare them by answering loudly. I said that you can rest assured that when it comes to the problem of eating, the old pig has always been very careful. So we went ahead after those who were passing by.

Seeing that they were about to catch up, the group of people actually left the road and went to the jungle next to it, there was no road in the jungle at all, I couldn't help but wonder, how could these people put a good road and not take the wilderness overgrown with weeds and no road at all? Senior Brother Sha said, Second Senior Brother, don't worry about so much for now, just stop them and ask? In front of them was a hillside, and at this time they were laboriously crawling up the hillside; Because the hill is steep, it is very difficult.

Senior Brother Sha said, Second Senior Brother, look, the road ahead is even steeper, I really don't understand why they chose such a path that doesn't seem to work at all. I say it's nothing, most people with water in their brains are more neurotic. Senior Brother Sha said let's stop talking, let's stop them first.

So I started shouting, "Hey! Brother in front, please stay! Feed! Brother in front, please stay! Hearing me shout, the people in front of me really stopped, turned to look at us.

Senior Brother Sha and I hurriedly ran up and asked with a smile: Hello brother, we are outsiders passing by here, and we want to know where there is a place to sell food nearby, or someone else.

After I finished speaking, the people looked at each other for a while, and then an older one spoke: There are no people in this neighborhood, where are you going? Senior Brother Sha hurriedly smiled and said, "Ah, we have to go to the front." As he spoke, Senior Brother Sha pointed to the path we had traveled before: go to a very far place and look for a prescription. The older one was silent for a moment and said, "That road will not work, and if you insist on going there, you must follow the path we are taking now."

Senior Brother Sha wanted to say something, but was robbed by me: Old man, could you please tell us where there is a house near here? The old pig can also get some food to fill his belly. The old man asked: You have come a long way? I said yes, yes, we came from a market town far away, and we had been walking for most of the day but we couldn't find anything to eat.

Town? One of the young men asked in a very surprised tone: Is it the market town where tigers appeared?

Oh, yes! Oh, yes! How do you know? That's where we came from! At this time, I seemed to have met a soulmate.

Another young man spoke: Are you the ones who caught the tigers?

Oh, yes! Oh, yes! Precisely! I couldn't wait to reply; I didn't expect that there were still people in this barren mountains and forests who knew what we were doing.

How do you know? One of the young men asked the other.

Oh, nothing, as we passed through there I heard that there were a couple of weird-looking people who helped catch the tigers, so I was sure it was them. Senior Brother Sha said that it was exactly, that the two tigers were caught by us, because they also had to pass through there, so we helped kill them by the way.

When the old man heard this, he was more excited, and said that since this is the case, then we must thank you; In this way, there is no one in this neighborhood for the time being, and when you cross this mountain with us, there will be food at that time. After the old man finished speaking, he instructed the young man next to him to take out some dry food from his pocket, saying that he would let us pad our stomachs for the time being. Senior Brother Sha looked very embarrassed and said: Then how can you be embarrassed? You keep it as dry food for us to eat! The old man said that it was okay, they brought a lot of dry food, and besides, there was still a place to replenish the mountain in front of them. I just said that is, since the old man said that there are many, there are really many, so we don't have to be polite.

The old man said, "We still have to thank you, if you didn't help catch those two tigers, we would have suffered." Senior Brother Sha said modestly: Where to talk, where to talk! It should be, it should be! As if the "servants" of the people. After the young man handed me the dry food, I began to eat it in large gulps. Senior Brother Sha said while eating: Second Senior Brother, leave some for Senior Brother! Don't eat them all! I said what I was afraid of, Brother Monkey was skinny anyway, and he generally didn't know how to be hungry; Besides, he hasn't come back for a long time, so he is going to eat mountain fruits quietly alone, so let's ignore him.

They also dismounted at this time, saying that they were taking the opportunity to take a rest, and it was very difficult and dangerous to climb the hill in front of them. Speaking of walking, I remembered the topic I talked about with Senior Brother Sha at the beginning, that is, why did they take this overgrown barren mountain instead of taking the obvious road?

I told the old man about this question as it was, and the old man sighed and said, "Alas, you are from other places, and you don't know anything; The front of that road was set up by someone last year, called "Ghost Gate Pass", but all those who passed through there entered the pass and there was no return, so no one knows what is going on there, but they know that they can't go from there; So since then, the road has been abandoned, and most of the people who want to cross the mountain have chosen another very detour road, almost ten times the distance of the road on the "Ghost Gate Pass". The old man said that they decided to go up the mountain from here in order to save time this time, although it was more dangerous, but it could save time.

Senior Brother Sha said, "Isn't there a single person who has passed from there?" Who's in there?

The old man said that there were originally some people with strong martial arts who did not believe in evil and wanted to pass through there, but they all died inside, and their families did not even dare to go in to collect the corpses; So later, gradually no one dared to go in again; As for who lived in it, because none of the people who went in came out, there was no way for everyone to know.

I said that the ghost door is closed? Wasn't the Ghost Gate Pass born at Lord Yama's? How did you get to the ground? Senior Brother Sha said, Second Senior Brother, are you still serious? It's just a metaphor for the danger in it. I said that this old pig knew, but he just wanted to play a joke on them.

While he was talking, Brother Monkey returned. Senior Brother Sha hurriedly stood up and said, "Senior Brother, you are back, come, I still have the baked cakes for you here." Brother Monkey said no, Lao Sun had already eaten outside just now, and he brought some mountain fruits back. What do you think? The old pig said that Brother Monkey will definitely get his own food outside! Still don't believe it! I said indignantly to Senior Brother Sha. Brother Monkey looked at the people in front of him and asked, "Who are they?" How did we get together? Senior Brother Sha said Senior Brother, don't get me wrong, they gave me and the second senior brother's baked cakes, and they also came from the other side of the street, and they heard about the process of catching tigers, and they admired us very much; They're going to the front, too, so we're just on the way.

After a while, Brother Monkey stood up and said, "Let's go!" After that, we headed in the direction of the main road. Senior Brother Sha hurriedly stopped Brother Monkey and said, "Senior Brother, you can't go ahead, there is a ghost gate in front of you!" After that, Senior Brother Sha told Brother Monkey everything about the situation that the old man introduced to us.

Brother Monkey looked surprised after hearing this, and said to himself: There is such a thing? Senior Brother Sha persuaded him: Senior brother, let's go with them, so as not to go through the ghost gate and cause unnecessary trouble. Brother Monkey glanced at Senior Brother Sha, then at the people passing by, and said to us: You wait here for the time being, and wait for my grandson to go and investigate. It seemed that Senior Brother Sha still wanted to say something, but Brother Monkey had already disappeared with a swish. I said that Brother Monkey was more suspicious, and I thought that he must have thought that these passers-by were lying, so he didn't believe it.

Although he couldn't see Brother Monkey's figure, Senior Brother Sha still shouted in the direction where Brother Monkey went: Senior Brother, you have to go and come back quickly. Unexpectedly, Brother Monkey's voice actually came back: Okay! The old man was very surprised to see that Brother Monkey disappeared as soon as he slipped through the smoke, but later he said: Let's hurry up and call your Brother Monkey back, so as not to get angry! I said old man, don't worry, our brother monkey's kung fu is unparalleled in the world, don't worry about him; Even if he dies this time, he can still come back to life. Senior Brother Sha said, Second Senior Brother, don't always say "dead and dead", okay? None of that sounds auspicious.

It didn't take long for Brother Monkey to come back, saying that there was indeed a city wall in front of him, with the three big characters "Ghost Gate Pass" written on it. The old man said yes, it was the ghost gate, and it was very dangerous inside. It seemed that Brother Monkey still wanted to say something, but Senior Brother Sha took the lead and said: Senior Brother, it's important that we are in a hurry, so you don't care so much; Besides, don't we still have a way to go? I agree with Senior Brother Sha's statement, and think that some guys who don't interfere with our well water can be ignored. I guess Brother Monkey thinks we have a point, so he finally decided to follow them. I said that this is called knowing the times for the handsome, being a man can't always hit the muzzle, what can be avoided or should be avoided is the best policy.

Brother Monkey said that you don't need to say this, just go, I hope it won't be too far. The old man said that it was not far away, but the road was more dangerous, and there were some cliffs. Senior Brother Sha looked very curious and asked: Since they are all cliffs, can these horses get by? Will people be able to go up smoothly? The old man said that if you can't do it, you have to be able to do it, in order to make money, people have set a time for us, and if it can't be delivered within that time, it will be our own loss; And it is obviously not possible to take another detour, so you can only take this one small road. Gradually, he got closer and closer to the hillside that the old man had said, and in the distance he saw a large number of people gathered at the bottom of the hillside.

The old man explained that those were all people waiting to go uphill, but because "it is difficult to go to the blue sky on the Shu Road", it caused more and more people to gather, and they were all in a hurry. Brother Monkey said why are you doing this, risking your lives to make money. The old man said that there is no way to do this, this is called "people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes".

Brother Monkey said that there is no other way to go? The old man said that there is, but the distance is very long and detoured, and the relatively short path is only this one, and there is no other way out except for the one at the Ghost Gate.

I said Brother Monkey, you can know if you look at it, this barren mountain is full of cliffs, and it is not easy to dig a path out. Seeing Brother Monkey's indignant appearance, I hurriedly comforted him and said: Brother Monkey, are you thinking about the ghost gate again? Forget it, don't think about it, it's so far, you have to never look back. Before we reached the foot of the mountain, we saw that there were so many people and livestock gathered here, and there were about hundreds of people.

As soon as we arrived, the old men began to ask the young men to set up their tents. Brother Monkey was very curious and asked them what they were doing with their tents? The old man said that you don't know, everyone is queuing up to go up the mountain, because it is more difficult to go up the mountain, so according to the current situation, it is estimated that it will be tomorrow when it is our turn, so set up a tent to rest and raise your spirits to climb up tomorrow. I said that it was just right, the old pig happened to be very sleepy, and he just happened to sleep. The mountain in front of me was indeed steep, sloping at an angle of about seventy-five degrees, and the road was not very wide, just enough to pass a single horse; The whole mountain road is winding upward, in a zigzag shape. According to the old man, the mountain road is almost two kilometers long, and it takes half a day to fully walk up at a normal speed. When the tents were set up, the three of us slept in the same room, and the old man and the other young people slept in their own tents. I said: Brother Monkey, let's go up first, what can we do if we cut in line? Let's just say that we want to rush to save people, and I believe they won't let us go first. Senior Brother Sha said that the second senior brother is not good, in this case, we have to follow their rules, listen to other people's territory, and if you don't let it, it will be impolite; Even if they let us go first, we'll be embarrassed in our hearts. Brother Monkey agrees with Senior Brother Sha's statement, thinking that we will have to help them by the way when we eat the old man's things. I said well, if you are not in a hurry, the old pig is not in a hurry.

So I turned my head to sleep and was sleeping soundly, when I suddenly heard a lot of shouting outside, and then I heard Brother Monkey and Senior Brother Sha also shouting. I had just fallen asleep, so I was woken up by them. I shouted as I got up: What is the fuss, I have to sleep badly.

Senior Brother Sha, who walked to the door, turned around and said to me: Second Senior Brother, come and take a look, someone has fallen off the cliff on the hillside. Yes? Is there such a thing? When I heard that someone was dead, I immediately got up, and before I even had time to put on my clothes, I ran out with Brother Monkey and Senior Brother Sha. It wasn't completely dark yet, but torches were already lit sporadically on the hillside ahead. When we went out, we saw a mess on the hillside and at the foot of the mountain, and everyone was shouting and shouting.

I asked Senior Brother Sha next to me: Who fell down? Senior Brother Sha said that he didn't know very well, but he just heard people say this. The people next to him were talking about it, saying that it was a pity to die, and there were several people, including old people and children. After looking at it for a while, I didn't see why, so we had to go back.

When we went back, we found out that the old man had come back at some point, so Brother Monkey went in and asked him what was going on. I and Senior Brother Sha also went in, and I also wanted to hear about it by the way. The old man said that it was probably because they accidentally stumbled and fell into the cliff while going uphill.

The old man told the story as simple as that, and when he said it very calmly, as if he were telling a story. I said that the old man can't, you also have to pass through the hillside, why don't you care at all? Why didn't the people around him come to the rescue? The old man stared at me for a while before he said, "It's not that there is no one to save me, but there is no way to save it; Needless to say, falling down the valley is all shattered, what else can they do? Although we have to pass through there too, if we are careful, we will be fine, we have also walked there before; Not to mention that it is not surprising that such a situation happens almost every time it comes; People die for money, birds die for food. The old man was still very calm when he said these words, and it seemed that this kind of thing did happen very often, and unless someone who experienced it often, anyone who saw it would be more shocked.

It can be seen that Brother Monkey is very angry, and Senior Brother Sha said Okay, okay, let's go back and rest again; Old man, remember to call us when you leave later, and help by the way. I said Senior Brother Sha, you are really, even if you don't say it, he will call you, the tent we sleep in is still his, isn't it? Senior Brother Sha thought for a moment and said, "Yes, why didn't I think of it?" We were woken up early the next day by the old man, who said get up quickly, we should go on the road.

Brother Monkey poked his head out and looked around, then went out and muttered to the old man for a while, and then Brother Monkey said to us who were getting up: Don't worry, sleep a little longer. Senior Brother Sha asked Brother Monkey what was going on, did he have to wait any longer? Brother Monkey said: I just asked them to walk around again for the sake of their safety, and then go up the mountain after the drowsiness is completely gone, so that they will not be dizzy, and the safety factor can be increased. I said Brother Monkey, you are really good at calculating, if you want to sleep, just say it, you can use it like this? Brother Monkey said: What? Idiot, don't you believe it? There's a scientific basis for this, you get up and try it, keep your mind in the afternoon. I understood what Brother Monkey meant, and I agreed with him, I just wanted to fight with him, but I didn't expect him to take it seriously.

We went up the hill at about nine o'clock in the morning, and the old man told the young men to fold the tents, put them on their horses, and then set out for the hillside. At this time, there are relatively few people, although there are some people who came later, most of them are still sleeping there, so the general environment seems to be more relaxed when we go up. It wasn't until I walked down that path that I realized it was much steeper than what I had seen last night. We're okay, but the horses are sinful, and no matter how much you pull them, they won't go up; In fact, they are not all to blame, mainly because the mountain road is too narrow and steep, and they can't go up at all because they are so tall, and in the end, it was a few of us who dragged the ground to finally get those horses up. They went up, but it was still very difficult for them to walk. Not only the horses, but also those who carried the burdens were not easy to go up, and it was terrifying to see them when they walked.

After walking for almost an hour, I thought I was almost at the top of the mountain, but when I looked back, I realized that it was only a short walk. It seems that the old man said that it would take half a day to climb to the top of the mountain, and he was not bluffing.

Just as we were cautiously climbing up, the old man who was suddenly walking behind said "oops", and when we looked back, we found that the horse led by the old man had fallen down, and was "neighing" at this time. Because the old man said that he was old and frail, he was afraid that going to the front would affect everyone, so he decided to go to the rear. Seeing that the horse led by the old man had fallen, the old man reflexively reached out to pull the rope leading the horse.

It is entirely conceivable that the old man could not have stopped the horse from falling, not only could he not stop it, but the horse also pulled him down. Of course, the old man must have been reflexive to pull the rope, and if it was under normal circumstances, it is estimated that he would not do it. At the moment when the old man was pulled down, the young people who came back in front of him all let out an "oops", and then watched the old man fall.

Brother Monkey, who was walking in front of us, was about to go down to save the old man when he was stopped by Senior Brother Sha. Senior Brother Sha said: Senior brother, you forgot, although we can soar through the clouds, but the old man is a mortal, you can't save him, maybe even you will fall down with you at that time. Hearing what Senior Brother Sha said, I reacted, so I echoed and said: That's it! It is! It's called "stealing chickens doesn't make rice". Brother Monkey said, idiot, are you mistaken? If you don't know how to use idioms, don't use them indiscriminately, so that the bull's head is not in the horse's mouth.

After a long while, there was a "poof" sound in the valley, and it was obvious that the old man and the horse had fallen to the bottom. The young men who walked in front were very sad, and they just cried with sad faces and wanted to cry without tears. Brother Monkey persuaded them that it was useless to be sad, since things have come to this point, let's go up and talk about it.

So we dragged and dragged them all the things up. It's okay, it is estimated that after the old man fell, everyone was more attentive, and there was no more stumbling.

When we went up, it was already afternoon, and it really took half a day, it was really "Shu Road is difficult to be in the mountains and blue sky"!

After we went up, we said goodbye to the gang, and Brother Monkey said that we should go to the ghost gate to see who was doing ghosts there. Brother Monkey said that if this continues, then this place will become a valley of death that everyone talks about, and I don't know how many people will die here. I said that these people are really, why do they take such a path? Senior Brother Sha said that this is very easy to understand, and it can be summed up in the same sentence, "People die for money, birds die for food".

To be honest, although the old pig doesn't like to meddle too much, he is still quite shocked by the death of the old man, after all, we got along well a few hours ago, but now we are separated by yin and yang. So when Brother Monkey proposed to go to the Ghost Gate to have a look, I raised my hand without hesitation to express my approval. Senior Brother Sha said okay, let's go meet those guys and see if they have three heads and six arms.

We explained our intention to those people, and told them to mourn and change and move forward first, let's go to the ghost gate to take a look and follow, maybe we can meet again. Those people said well, you should pay attention to yourself, there are many people in there who have not been able to get out. I said, brother, can you be a little more auspicious when you speak, let's say that they were all immortals before, how could it be easy to let a few guys who did evil take it down? Senior Brother Sha said Second Senior Brother, don't talk about it, they also care about us, so it's okay to remind you. After parting ways with those people, we went straight down to the ghost gate, in order to preserve our strength, we didn't fly through the clouds, but walked.

Brother Monkey is an anxious man, ready to soar through the clouds, Senior Brother Sha persuaded us to walk, so as not to get the ghost gate, in case those domineering guys really have a few moments, then we still have to spend some effort, so it is still very necessary to preserve our strength. I also very much agree with Senior Brother Sha's statement, and after we continue to talk about it, we won't be able to find food for a while. Brother Monkey probably thought that what we said was more reasonable, so he finally decided to walk.

This time, we didn't go back the same way, but slid down the other side of the cliff along the vines that grew on the cliff like the cold ice river before. There is still a long distance from the foot of the mountain to the Ghost Gate Pass, and it is almost halfway up the mountain. The mountain where the Ghost Gate Pass is located is not the same as the one we climbed before.

After a while, Brother Monkey said, "Oh, it's here!"

Hearing Brother Monkey say this, I raised my head, and as a result, I saw a big door, and then I looked up, and saw three big black characters of "Ghost Gate"; When I looked up again, I realized that this gate-like pass was built next to a huge rock, so it looked very tall and seemed to be in harmony with the whole mountain. Because it is built next to a boulder, you can't see how high the top of the pass is when you look up. Brother Monkey said that he had only checked outside before, and did not go in to take a closer look, but after Brother Monkey walked around here, he found that there was no way to enter except for the door in front of him.

I stepped back for a distance and then took a closer look, and sure enough, as Brother Monkey said, almost all other places except for the pass in front of me were cliffs. I said to Brother Monkey: "Grandma, those who go in but can't get out are also amazing, they can enter such a sinister place." Senior Brother Sha said: Second Senior Brother, this is more powerful; Come to think of it, the skills of those who can get in are very good, and they haven't been able to get out, so it's no wonder that everyone is afraid of being like that. It's just that we have a problem now, and that is how to get in the door.

Looking up at the height of the pass, I knew that it would definitely not work to climb. Brother Monkey said that this is simple, and after a while, the old grandson will turn into a mosquito and get in through the crack in the door, how can I open the door from the inside again, so that we can go in? Senior Brother Sha said: Hey, this is indeed a good idea. But at the end of the day, the question of where the door cracks are. Although the door in front of me was extremely large, it was surprising that there was not a single gap between the two doors closed, as if the two doors were one, so it was impossible to see what was going on inside from the outside. And, no matter how hard the three of us pushed the door, there was still no movement at all, and it didn't move at all, as if we were born on a stone wall.

Brother Monkey said let's not bother to make efforts, and Lao Sun climbed over from above. Will it work? Senior Brother Sha looked up at the unattainable boulder and said. Brother Monkey said no problem, how can Lao Sun become a gecko? As soon as Brother Monkey finished speaking, I immediately raised my hand to express my approval of his idea. Brother Monkey said that it is not as laborious as flying into a gecko to climb up the clouds, and it can achieve the goal. Senior Brother Sha said that although it was a little rustic, as long as he could open the door of the pass.

By the time Senior Brother Sha finished speaking, Brother Monkey had already turned into a gecko and was climbing up, and Senior Brother Sha and I were standing below as cheerleaders, "Come on!" Come on! Come on, Brother Monkey! After a while, I said to Senior Brother Sha: Hey, let's stop shouting. Senior Brother Sha asked why? I said what else could I say, Brother Monkey may have already gone in, maybe he won't be able to hear our shouts for a long time, so won't we cheer him for nothing? Senior Brother Sha nodded and said, "Well, it makes sense, then let's rest for a while and wait for Brother Monkey to open the gate."

Then I and Senior Brother Sha were talking outside the gate. It's been almost half an hour since Brother Monkey opened the door for us. I said, Brother Monkey, how did you grind? Brother Monkey said that if you come to climb and keep it, it will be slower than my grandson, don't believe you try? Senior Brother Sha said okay, let's stop talking, let's hurry in. When we walked in, we realized that there was nothing special in it, except that it was taller than the general pass, and the other places seemed to be the same.

Senior Brother Sha said Second Senior Brother, you must not take it lightly, since so many people have come in and have not been able to get out, then there must be something special about it. As soon as I entered, the door at the back suddenly closed. At first, I thought it was Brother Monkey who closed it, but Brother Monkey also looked behind him with a stunned look. Senior Brother Sha said that it seems that the dangerous moment has come.

Let's walk forward cautiously, for fear that a fierce and vicious person will suddenly appear around us. It wasn't until I walked through the passage behind the door and saw the sunshine that my hanging heart gradually let go, and when I was wondering, Brother Monkey suddenly screamed that it was not good, and then he turned over and grabbed me and Senior Brother Sha who were walking behind one by one and threw them out, and then he himself also turned out with a fight. I and Senior Brother Sha were both thrown to the ground hard.

I got up and said: Brother Monkey, have you made a mistake, I was shocked, the old pig's ass suffered. Brother Monkey looked very angry and said: You said I was shocked? Idiot, come over and take a look, and see if there is a reason why my grandson was shocked. Senior Brother Sha and I both walked up to Brother Monkey and looked in the direction he was pointing, only to see that there was a large area of dense arrows on the ground where we were standing just now, and they were all firmly rooted into the ground. Brother Monkey said Idiot, take a look and see if my grandson was startled, if it weren't for my grandson's quick reaction, the two of you would have died a long time ago. The large arrow covered the area about four feet square after entering the door, and it was semicircular.

Senior Brother Sha shook his head while patting his chest and saying, "It's dangerous."

Senior Brother Sha said that in this way, it seems that most of the people who came in died here, because it was only a few seconds after entering the door that the arrow had already been launched, and at that time, even the fastest walking master had not had time to leave that range. We looked all the way up in the direction of the tilt of the arrow, and saw that the top of the gate was covered with dense holes, and needless to say, we knew that the arrows were shot from there. Senior Brother Sha said: Senior brother, you are our life-saving benefactor, I really don't know how to thank you. I said thank you, he saved us today, and we should save him tomorrow; In that case, it will be even, and none of us will owe anyone. Brother Monkey looked angry, but I walked away at the right time, so Brother Monkey had nowhere to vent his anger.

Although there is a gate at the back, the scene in front is exactly the same as the ones we see outside, with beautiful mountains and rivers, warblers and long grass; I didn't see anything unusual at all. Senior Brother Sha said that this is called "hidden killing machine", which is more terrifying than ordinary killing machines. Walking along the mountain path, I didn't encounter poisonous snakes and beasts, let alone bandits and robbers, and even sparrows didn't seem to have a single sparrow. It's horribly quiet! Senior Brother Sha said yes, I already feel that there is a danger around here, so we have to be careful.

As we spoke, Brother Monkey jumped onto the highest stone on the side and looked up. I asked Brother Monkey if you saw the curling smoke? Brother Monkey asked what he was cooking smoke for? I mean, you don't understand this, huh? Only with cooking smoke can we prove that there is a family, so that we can find something to eat! Brother Monkey said that when is it now, he always thinks about eating; Listen, I've seen a thatched house in front of me, and I guess it's the people who set up the mechanism and killed those who broke in, so let's get closer to it now. I said that it was quiet everywhere, and we were the only ones talking, and maybe the people already knew that we were in; It's better to just shout here and let him come down and fight us in a duel, so that we can save some effort. Brother Monkey said nerd, don't play tricks with me, Lao Sun is free to arrange, you just have to do what I want. I said that you have the final say on everything anyway, and you can do whatever you say!

Senior Brother Sha was about to pull me away when Brother Monkey suddenly spoke again: Hey, you must be careful, since there are organs at the door, then the designation is indispensable along the way, so we have to be more careful. Brother Monkey looked serious when he said this, but when I looked up at the path above, I found that there was nothing unusual at all, so I couldn't help but be suspicious. Senior Brother Sha said Second Senior Brother, don't look at it, let's be careful according to Senior Brother's words, and be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years. This time, Brother Monkey is walking behind us, so I think he is using us as a shield.

The winding trail is filled with tall trees, stunted bushes, and a jumble of weeds that simply can't relate them to the murderous scene.

Suddenly, a melodious flute sounded in the valley, from far to near, high and low, heavy and light, and around the beam for three days. Brother Monkey immediately ran to signal us to stop, saying that he wanted to tell which direction the flute was coming from. However, it is not easy to tell which direction it is coming from, because the valley is very quiet, so the echo of the flute is very clear, and it is impossible to distinguish which is the original sound and which is the echo. So Brother Monkey couldn't hear it for a long time. I said Brother Monkey, don't listen to it anymore, since there is a thatched house in front, it must have floated out of the thatched house. Brother Monkey didn't speak, just motioned for us to move on. The melodious sound of the flute still lingers in the valley, still lingering, and it still sounds more breathtaking. It is hard to imagine that such a horrific tragedy would happen in such a quiet environment.

Brother Monkey went to the front again, saying that he wanted to check on the enemy. I was finally able to see the thatched house that Brother Monkey was talking about, as if there were three or four rooms in total, and they were connected. Now looking at the distance from the pass to the thatched house, regardless of the appearance of a short mile, now before the old pig has walked, it feels as if he has walked for half a day.

Senior Brother Sha's explanation for this is: The slope is more difficult. I thought that Senior Brother Sha was laughing at me for walking slowly, so I quickened my pace and walked a little way.

Just as I was about to boast to Senior Brother Sha, it suddenly happened that Senior Brother Sha had disappeared for some time. I hurriedly said to Brother Monkey: Brother Monkey, where do you see Senior Brother Sha gone? Why did it suddenly disappear? Brother Monkey said, "How does Lao Sun know, haven't you always been together?" I said yes, but now the old pig took a few steps forward and suddenly disappeared. Brother Monkey said that it must be Senior Brother Sha joking, hiding from you, and he will naturally come out after a few more screams. I shouted "Senior Brother Sha" loudly, but there was no movement around me. I said Brother Monkey can't do it, I will attract the attention of the people in the thatched house above by shouting like this, let's go down and find it together.

I have always been a serious brother, and he usually doesn't joke with us, so why did he suddenly start joking at this juncture? So I thought something must have happened. So I said to Brother Monkey: Brother Monkey, go back with me to find the old pig, and everyone can take care of each other.

Brother Monkey thought about it for a while, and probably thought it made sense, so he finally followed me down.

Walked to a bend in front of a boxy trap suddenly appeared, we all passed through here just now, huh? Why did a trap suddenly appear? Brother Monkey yelled that it was not good, and then he opened me and looked inside, and said: Idiot, Senior Brother Sha is down here. I hurriedly walked forward and poked my head out to look inside, and sure enough, I saw Senior Brother Sha, but because the trap was very deep, I could only see a very small one. Senior Brother Sha, how did you do it? Brother Monkey shouted inside. I don't know, the second senior brother walked forward and I didn't know why I fell.

I said: Senior Brother Sha, how are you now? Senior Brother Sha replied that he was fine, but he was now locked in an iron cage, which was so strong that he couldn't break it. Brother Monkey thought for a while and said: Senior Brother Sha, don't waste your strength, you can't break it if you want to, you wait here, let's go to the owner of the thatched house to reason.

Hahaha, you don't need to look for it yourself, I've already sent it to the door. Just as we were about to turn around, there was a sudden sinister laugh behind us.

When Brother Monkey and I looked back, we found that it was an old man dressed very rustic, and at first glance he looked like an ordinary farmer. Brother Monkey asked: You were talking just now? The old man laughed and said: Who else would it be if it wasn't me? Can you see the fifth person? This time I have found the master, but I have to teach him a good lesson.

So Brother Monkey stepped forward and scolded: You old man is restless, you are actually doing evil here, occupying the mountain as the king, look at how my grandson cleans you up today. The old man laughed again and said, "If you can win me as a Gut Monk just by a few hairy boys, then you really have the ability." Glen dwellers? This guy is so cruel that he actually calls himself a "layman"! I said indignantly. Old man, tell me, why do you have to set up so many mechanisms on this road? What is the intention? Brother Monkey said loudly. The old man laughed again and said, "It's not that I'm doing evil, but I take a fancy to the beautiful mountains and rivers here, so I want to take this place as my own residence, why not?" As for why I set up a lot of traps along the way, it was just a contest with the people who came to fight for territory with me, and I didn't hurt a single hair of their hair, it was because they themselves were useless, and I said that as long as anyone could break into my thatched house, I would unconditionally give up this place and still return to the way it used to be; But it's a pity that I haven't been able to do it until now, so you can't blame me, right?

I said you were a bad old man, and you even said that you didn't hurt a single hair of their hair, so where did all those missing people go? I said. Oh! They! The old man seemed to say lightly; They were shot to death by arrows, starved to death, and some of the big ones were thrown into the valley by me to feed the mountain eagles, and I didn't touch a single hair of them.

Oops, old man! Brother Monkey learned to scold me, and then he was ready to fight him.

Unexpectedly, the old man took two steps back and said: You don't have to be in such a hurry, the old man has prepared a small profit for you, please enjoy it slowly. After that, he left.

I said, Brother Monkey, what are you polite to him? Just cast a spell to kill him, so as not to talk to him too much. Brother Monkey said don't worry, this guy still seems to have some means, let's be careful; Ignore him for now, let's go down and see Senior Brother Sha first to see if we can get him out.

Just as Brother Monkey and I were about to jump down, Brother Monkey suddenly stopped me, Brother Monkey said that this can't be done, so if there is an organ below, then we all have to be arrested? So Brother Monkey told me to stay on top, saying that if they had anything to do down there, they would have something to take care of. I thought about Brother Monkey this time, I really thought about it for me this time, no matter what kind of effort I had in the past, I was an old pig, but now he has handed over such a big task of rescue to me, which shows that he still trusts me quite a lot.

Brother Monkey came up not long after he went down, and I asked him what's wrong? Can't open? Brother Monkey said that he couldn't be sure for the time being, but because it was dark below, Brother Monkey decided to pull up the iron cage containing the sand junior brother. This is easier to do, Brother Monkey and I collected some wild vines nearby, all of which are relatively thick, and then connected to form a rope, and then put it down and tied it to the iron cage to pull Senior Brother Sha up directly.

Things went very well, and when Senior Brother Sha was pulled up, I saw that the iron cage containing Senior Brother Sha was very peculiar: the wires that made up the iron cage were neither horizontal nor vertical, but in a messy shape. Brother Monkey said stupid, you are wrong, this is not a mess, if you look carefully, there is some kind of formation hidden in it, and ordinary people can't come out at all. Of course, Brother Monkey said that he was just an ordinary person, but now that he meets us, the situation is naturally different.

Brother Monkey circled around the iron cage, and I asked him what he was doing, and Brother Monkey said that he was looking for a flaw in the iron cage.

According to Brother Monkey, all formations are flawed, without exception. Brother Monkey said that as long as he finds that flaw, even the most complex formation can be solved. But after turning several times in a row, Brother Monkey still hasn't found such a so-called flaw. I said Brother Monkey, your trick didn't work, and Brother Monkey didn't speak.

Suddenly, Brother Monkey aimed his eyes at the feet of Senior Brother Sha in the iron cage. I followed Brother Monkey's gaze and saw a round plate in the center of the bottom of the iron cage, inlaid on a piece of iron. Brother Monkey asked Senior Brother Sha to stand away a little more, so that he could see more clearly.

I asked Brother Monkey, could it be that the organ is there? Brother Monkey nodded and said that it was very likely. After that, Brother Monkey asked Senior Brother Sha to try to turn the disc. Senior Brother Sha looked very cautious, as if he was afraid that he would shoot arrows as soon as he twisted around. At the moment when Senior Brother Sha began to turn, the order of the wires around the iron cage immediately changed; Brother Monkey told Senior Brother Sha not to stop and continue to turn. As Senior Brother Sha twisted the disc more and more, the distribution of the iron wire gradually became regular, similar to the kind we usually see, horizontal and vertical. Finally, Senior Brother Sha said that he couldn't twist anymore.

Brother Monkey said don't twist it, now we can save you. Wires, which used to appear strong, are now soft and can be bent with a single break. Sure enough, Senior Brother Sha came out smoothly. I thought that the old man was a real elf, and I guess those who fell would never have thought that the mechanism to open the iron cage was under their own feet.

Brother Monkey said: Senior Brother Sha, are you okay? Senior Brother Sha said it's okay, let's go, let's move on. As soon as we turned around, the old man appeared in front of us, startling us. I say you're a old man! The old man was furious, and said that I did not know how to be polite. I said you can't be polite with an inhuman guy like you. After saying that, I was about to rush up, but was stopped by Brother Monkey. Brother Monkey said don't worry, let's see how my grandson cleans him up.

Brother Monkey jumped forward, and before he could reach the old man, he had already jumped away. The old man then ran to the foot of a big tree, as if waiting for the monkey there. Brother Monkey walked cautiously, and just as Brother Monkey was about to approach the bottom of the tree, the old man suddenly pulled a vine in his hand, and then an iron cage also fell from it. I and Senior Brother Sha really saw it next to me, I don't know if Brother Monkey saw it. So Senior Brother Sha and I shouted almost in unison: Brother Monkey be careful! Ahh When Brother Monkey heard this, he didn't look up, but rolled to the side.

As soon as Brother Monkey dodged the iron cage, he fell to the ground, making a muffled "poof" sound. The iron cage looked exactly the same as the one that covered Senior Brother Sha before, and it seemed that it was also surrounded by arrays. Senior Brother Sha and I both breathed a long sigh of relief, fortunately Brother Monkey didn't look up, otherwise it would have been covered at that moment of hesitation. Brother Monkey scolded "Grandma's", and then he turned over to the old man with a heel fight, and a "hungry tiger pulled out his heart" and punched the old man in the stomach. Unexpectedly, the old man's skills were still very agile, and he dodged with a dodge.

The two of them had a hot fight, and I and Senior Brother Sha watched it lively; Seeing that I couldn't tell the winner or loser for a long time, I finally couldn't help it, and shouted at Brother Monkey: Brother Monkey, make a trick! It is estimated that the old man was curious about what kind of trick Brother Monkey could have, so he tilted his head and glanced at me. At that moment, Brother Monkey tripped the old man to the ground with a sweeping leg, and then pounced on him and held him down. Senior Brother Sha and I were about to go up to help, but we saw the old man with his hands folded under Brother Monkey's body, and it seemed that he wanted to make a final counterattack. Senior Brother Sha's movements were even faster than mine, and an arrow rushed up and kicked the old man's hand. The old man's hand immediately let go, and he screamed "wow" in pain.

Then Brother Monkey told me to tear a piece of cloth from the old man's body, and then tied his hands back. After the old man had been finished, Brother Monkey instructed me to go and greet those who were still waiting at the foot of the mountain, and told them all to pass this way, so as not to fall off the cliff. Although this was an errand job, I was still very willing, so I hurried out.

When I went to the bottom of the mountain, I saw that there were still many people gathered there. So I went over to greet them and said that there was no need to take any risks, the old man in the ghost gate had been caught by us.

At first, everyone didn't believe it, but in the end I had to swear. When they saw that I had sworn an oath, they followed me with half a doubt. Seeing that the old man was really captured, the big guy was very happy and said a lot of thanks. I don't need to say thank you, but the old pig is very hungry now.

As soon as the words ended, several people handed over the dry food they were carrying.

I said enough is enough, the old pig can't eat so much. Later, everyone wanted to beat the old man to death, but was stopped by Brother Monkey, who said that everyone was a lot old, and even if it was a capital crime, it would have to be given a light sentence, so it was better to hand it over to the police station. Everyone thought that what Brother Monkey said was not unreasonable, so they finally agreed.

When our group crossed the mountain, we realized that the group of people who were with us last night were actually in front. We walked over and told them the truth, and they seemed very happy, but the old man couldn't see it. Brother Monkey comforted them and said that it was okay, and the old man must be very comfortable in Heavenly Court. After that, we said goodbye to them and continued on the road ahead.
