Chapter 8: Star Lake
On the way back, Kong Sheng had a gloomy face and didn't say a word. He couldn't figure out why the deal had failed. Originally, I heard Kong Lian say that there was a gray-maned wolf king in Linxing Village, and Kong Sheng was thinking about it. Linxing Village is a village directly belonging to Weiqing City, so everything in this village is naturally subject to the laws of Weiqing City. The reason why he spent some money to invite the steward of the City Lord's Mansion to come to Linxing Village with him was because he had the intention of provoking and then angering the Graymane Wolf King. As long as the wolf king takes the lead in hurting people, under the witness of the steward of the city lord's mansion, he can naturally take away this evil animal that hurts people, and he doesn't have to pay any price.
But it backfired, because Kong Lian pushed the child, and the gray-maned wolf king was repeatedly claimed by these villagers to be the spirit beast of the village, and moved out of the domain lord's decree, so that all his plans were stillborn, and he lost one of his nephew's arms. Kong Sheng always felt that all this was too coincidental, thinking that there was an invisible hand behind his back, as if the other party could always anticipate his thoughts and take precautions. This person who was hiding in the shadows to help Linxing Village made Kong Sheng muttered a little in his heart, and he decided not to move Linxing Village for the time being and wait and see what happened.
Compared with the gloomy clouds of the Kong family's team, the village was full of joy, driving away those who wanted to destroy the harmony of the village, and everyone was praising Chen Yuan for his courage and resourcefulness. It turned out that when Chen Yuan saw that some of Kong Lian's party were wearing the logo of the City Lord's Mansion, Chen Yuan had a plan in his heart. For him, who grew up and trained in the secret service headquarters, it was not difficult to find the key points of these things, and when Chen Yuan thought of Linxing Village coming under the jurisdiction of Yunqing City on the back of the big gray, Kong Sheng's plan had already been seen through by him.
Then Chen Yuan quickly came up with a way to deal with it. Due to the relatively closed news in the village, the laws of the main city are not very clear, but the content of the laws of the domain lord is very simple, and the terms are very few, and they are well known to the people of each region. And there happens to be a very suitable village for the village spirit beast, and at this time, the remoteness of Linxing Village has become a favorable condition for them, because the news is often two-way, which means that the Qingqing City side does not know whether there are totems and guardian spirit beasts in the village. This made it easy for Chen Yuan to make plans.
Back in the village, Chen Yuan discussed with his grandfather and the villagers, and said that the big gray was the totem in the village and the spirit animal that protected the village. Let the children in the village entangle Kong Lian and his party, and when they are impatient and push, the children pretend to be injured and cry, and the ashes come on the field, justifiably saving the children.
Because the Nine Heavens Domain originally evolved from the ancient tribes, some villages believe in totems, and the habit of offering spirit beasts still exists, and is protected by the decree of the domain master, in order to pay tribute to the ancestors and totems, and thank them for fighting the Nine Heavens Domain with flesh and blood, the people from the main city not only can not take away the guardian spirit beasts, but also cannot attack the villages with the guardian spirit beasts.
After driving Kong Lian and his party away, Chen Yuan first went to the Golden Feather Eagle, thanked it for its help, and told it that the matter had been resolved. This time Chen Yuan brought the big ash, after all, the golden feather eagle sent the birds to act as eyeliner can be said to have helped the big gray a lot, although they don't deal with each other on weekdays, but the big gray has always had clear grievances, this time followed Chen Yuan to the territory of the golden feather eagle, is to say thank you.
Fortunately, the two beasts didn't fight again this time, which made Chen Yuan breathe a sigh of relief. After greeting the golden feather eagle, Chen Yuan did not go home, but let the big gray take him to the mountain north of the village. The old ape of Beishan has always been good to Chen Yuan, although he has a hot temper, but he is well-informed, unlike Jin Yu and Big Gray, he is a beast native to the two forests. The old ape migrated to this mountain more than ten years ago, but in terms of his ability to command the clan, he, an outsider, is no weaker than Big Gray and Golden Feather. The monkeys and grandchildren under his hands are very convinced of it, and they do not drag their orders in the slightest. In terms of combat effectiveness, it may be inferior, but in terms of unity, the group led by the old ape is definitely second to none within a radius of a hundred miles.
What happened in the village, although it was not a big deal, involved the Beastmaster. Therefore, Chen Yuan felt the need to tell the old ape about this matter, and asked it some questions by the way.
Chen Yuan and Big Gray came to the ape valley where the old ape was located, and when facing the golden feather eagle, the relationship between the big gray and the old ape was not bad, mainly because this guy and Jin Yu belonged to a feud, and when the old ape didn't come to Beishan, they had already pinched it, which led to the fact that before Chen Yuan's introduction, Big Gray didn't know that there was such a beast king as the old ape in Beishan. In addition, the old ape is a group of apes, and they are the best at climbing. So every time he came to the Valley of the Ape, for the sake of Chen Yuan's face, the old ape would take out some rare fruits to entertain it, and after this coming, the big gray became familiar with the old ape.
"Squeak!" Seeing that Chen Yuan and Big Ash were coming, the old ape, who was sitting in the center of the valley and eating the fruit sent by his subordinates, suddenly stood up and rushed over to greet Chen Yuan happily. The tall body has a shape of two meters four or five, a body of golden hair, shining in the sun, two white eyebrows raised back, it came to Chen Yuan, instantly blocked the sun, quite a sense of majesty like a mountain.
The old ape sat down in front of Chen Yuan, his thick arms wrapped around Chen Yuan, a pair of big hands groped in Chen Yuan's hair carefully, and a pair of eyes like night pearls stared at Chen Yuan's hair. Chen Yuan is helpless, this is the old ape's unique way of welcome, looking for lice for you, is to treat you as a close person. It was obviously not the first time that Chen Yuan had received such an alternative welcome ceremony, and he remembered the first time he enjoyed this treatment, and he couldn't help but think that the living habits of apes in the two worlds were so similar.
After receiving the old ape's unique welcome ceremony, Chen Yuan came to the place where the old ape used to sit and sat down, the big gray lay behind Chen Yuan, and the old ape sat opposite Chen Yuan. After telling the old ape about the matter, as Chen Yuan expected, the old ape was really angry, if it wasn't for Chen Yuan telling him that the matter had been solved perfectly, the old ape would have called the monkeys and monkeys in the Qi Valley to kill the monkeys and grandchildren at the entrance of the village, and dismantled Kong Lian and his party into eight pieces.
"Squeak!" the old ape shouted twice to Chen Yuan with bare eyes and panting. After venting its anger, it seemed to blame Chen Yuan for not telling it about it in advance. "Okay, don't be angry, isn't this matter settled. I actually came here to ask you about the fruit, the fruit you gave me when I was born, do you remember?" Chen Yuan saw that the old ape was almost venting, and quickly changed the topic.
Hearing Chen Yuan's words, the old ape calmed down and nodded to indicate that he still remembered. Chen Yuan was overjoyed in his heart, and said: "My father took the picture drawn according to the fruit to the spiritual material store in the city and inquired, and they told me that it was a red jade vermilion fruit. It is said that ordinary people can be reborn and prolong their lives after eating it, and practitioners can increase their strength after eating it. This fruit must be packed in a jade box to ensure that the aura is not leaked, and it will not decay within twenty years after picking. The man said something vague, do you know the effect of the fruit?"
The old ape shook his head, Chen Yuan was a little disappointed, but he still continued to ask: "Then do you know where this fruit is?" "Squeak squeak" The old ape pointed in the direction of the east of the village and shouted to Chen Yuan. Chen Yuan's eyes widened and said, "You mean Xingchen Lake!"
