Chapter 40 Once upon a time there was a mountain, and there was a temple in the mountain, and there was a ...... in the temple
The old white ape turned out to be the same white ape that had taught Yue Nu Jian Aqing, which was indeed something Ding Zheng did not expect.
What Ding Zheng didn't expect was that this old white ape seemed to still exist in the same period as Sun Wukong!
But when I think about it, it's true.
Ah Qing was born in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the same period as Xi Shi.
Therefore, if you really want to talk about it, this old white ape is even older than Sun Wukong.
Ding Zheng was very interested in this, after all, it had been traveling through the Ten Thousand Worlds and had borrowed the name of Sun Wukong several times.
Now I finally found someone who might have seen Sun Wukong with my own eyes.
Naturally, it is impossible to let go.
Moreover, it also wants to know what the world was like before the Monkey King appeared.
and what the world has become after Sun Wukong's failure.
But the old white ape apparently didn't think much about these things.
No matter how Ding Zheng asked, it was indifferent.
As a result, Ding Zheng could only ask other questions.
After all, in addition to Sun Wukong, it also wants to know, why does the old white ape obviously have such strong strength and tolerate the provocation of the old demon of Montenegro?
The other party is so openly threatening.
Why did you let each other go so easily?
"This old demon of Montenegro is the management of the dead city in vain, if I kill it here, it will be equivalent to declaring war on the underworld, and when the heavenly realm is opened, there will be people in the underworld to complain, which will have a great impact on my becoming an immortal."
The old white ape said.
talked about other things besides Monkey King.
It said something like before, as if it didn't care at all.
"The old demon of Montenegro is a piece of black stone into essence in the city of vain, after thousands of years of resentment invasion of people who died in vain, the body is very strong, and the difficulty of these dead things in the mountain stone is several times greater than ours."
"Therefore, once you really become a fine, you are all strong."
"With their talents, if they want to create their own cultivation method, it doesn't have to be too simple, what I just said is just a guess I made after communicating with the old demon of Montenegro and adding my own experience, and I can't determine the real situation."
"But what is certain is that the old demon of the Black Mountain is bound to obtain this mountain peak, with its natural comprehension and the strength of the body, it will no longer take long if it wants to surpass me in cultivation."
"Even if I'm stronger than it now, I can kill its clone in the mortal world."
"But after all, I can't go to the underworld to kill its body, first, its official position in the underworld is a great threat to me, and second, I can't conclude that in the underworld, I can really kill the old demon of Montenegro."
"After all, the environment of the underworld is completely different from that of the mortal world, and I am afraid that my cultivation will not be able to exert one-tenth of it!"
"And with the time of retirement, the old demon of Montenegro will become stronger and stronger, and when the time comes, this mountain will be given to it after all, so naturally there is no need to make a fuss with it because of this, and you will have to go to the underworld to adventure."
"After all, the purpose of the old demon of Montenegro is only to snatch this mountain peak and the surrounding realm from me, not to kill me."
The old white ape said patiently. In the tone, in addition to envy, there is also helplessness.
There was even more loneliness in his eyes, and it flashed away.
As an ordinary ape, it is based on its understanding and talent, and has lived for more than a thousand years, and has the strength of this body.
That's why I didn't look down on Ding Zheng, a guy who completely relied on blood, before.
But the talent and understanding of the old demon of Montenegro are not lower than it at all, but they are on the top and are about to surpass it.
Naturally, it made the old white ape feel a sense of embarrassment.
Ding Zheng looked at the expression of the old white ape and couldn't help but shake his head.
In Ding Zheng's heart, he was still a little indignant.
After all, if you can kill the other party, but you don't kill it, and it is still when the opponent's strength can quickly catch up with you. This is undoubtedly a very stupid act.
But after hearing the words of the old white ape, he no longer had this feeling at all.
If it is like what the old white ape said, it can only kill the clone of the old demon of Black Mountain in the mortal world.
Then there is really no need to offend an opponent who will definitely be able to surpass him in the future.
Ding Zheng looked at the old white ape with vicissitudes of life, and was slightly moved.
Emotions are also completely gone.
As the understanding of the old white ape gradually deepened.
At this moment, it had a new understanding of the old white ape.
An ordinary ape, completely relying on his own comprehension to cultivate, may even live for thousands of years.
Seen countless great things, genius, war, death, and new life.
Seeing those beings who are much stronger than themselves in every way, fall because of something, and fail.
This has been going on for thousands of years.
There was only one thought left in my mind.
That is to become an immortal, shed the demon body, and obtain the status officially recognized by the Three Realms.
Until now, it has finally cultivated to the top position of the mortal world and obtained the qualification to become an immortal.
In order to be able to become an immortal in a stable manner, we should minimize unpredictable crises.
It's just so normal.
Ding Zheng could feel the old white ape's age.
That is a kind of aging in the soul, in the heart, in the mind.
Although I can't talk about empathy, I do really understand it.
Ding Zheng shook his head, completely forgetting what had just happened, and didn't plan to ask again.
Although the old white ape looked very indifferent, as if he didn't care about anything, when he spoke, his face and tone were also very calm.
But who knows if it's really that peaceful?
Ding Zheng suddenly remembered a classic line from his previous life.
Whenever you feel like criticizing someone, you have to remember that not all people in this world have what you are gifted with.
Although Ding Zheng is not very lucky.
Born with congenital deficiencies, he has also experienced many hardships, and in order to survive, he treats himself as a monkey on the street to amuse others.
But it also has the help of the system, and it also has the protection of King Kong, and the congenital deficiency of bloodlines is gradually recovering.
Through his own efforts, he is now on the right track, and his own strength and his forces are developing in an orderly manner.
In contrast, the old white ape is much more unlucky.
And the old white ape, as a one, has been constantly surpassed by younger generations.
Even if he has cultivated for thousands of years, he can't be called the strongest character.
He was as calm as he is now, and he has a clear conscience, and he often rescues the humans and animals around him.
is fully worthy of the title of an old immortal.
While sighing.
Ding Zheng also made another reason.
Between different individuals, cultivation is not necessarily a strong guarantee.
For example, the old demon of Black Mountain and the old white ape.
The old white ape obviously regards the old demon of Montenegro as a junior.
But now, this junior, it can't be suppressed.
Many things can be more important than cultivation, and Ding Zheng is a living example.
Its age is much younger than these two, even younger than Sun Bai.
After being silent for a while, Ding Zheng suddenly thought of another doubt, so he immediately asked again: "Why does the old demon of Montenegro have to have this mountain?" ”
The old white ape continued to reply: "In addition to the abundance of spiritual energy, one of the more important points of this mountain peak is because it is killing the top of the city, and the old demon of the Black Mountain has directly refined this mountain, so it will be more convenient to travel back and forth with the underworld and the mortal world. ”
"Moreover, it can also borrow this mountain for cultivation."
"Although the old demon of Montenegro said in his mouth that the monster kills people and cultivates, and the progress is fast, it doesn't dare to do it, after all, it can't be sure whether the heavenly realm will be opened, once it is opened, as an underworld official, it knows the law and violates the law, and it will be severely punished."
"Only by refining this mountain can it really cultivate by killing."
"Therefore, I only need to keep this mountain, and when I can't keep it, I choose to retreat, so that I can be regarded as doing something good for innocent people and demons, and I don't help the abuse, but I won't take my life in vain."
The old white ape said, like a businessman who is good at calculating, but still has a good conscience.
"There are also peaks of better quality in other places, but because the distance is too far, the refining speed will be much slower, and the surrounding peaks of average quality will not be too strong after refining, so it can only focus on me."
"Is there anything else you say?" Ding Zheng felt very novel.
The old white ape glanced at Ding Zheng.
Although the strength of Ding Zheng in front of him is indeed not weak, he almost doesn't understand anything, just like a demon who has just been born in seclusion in the mountains and forests.
At the same time, the old white ape did become more curious about Ding Zheng's identity and life experience.
With such a powerful bloodline.
In the past hundreds of years, especially the closure of the heavenly realm, the mortal demons have been dancing wildly.
How can there be no news at all?
Could it be that somewhere has he really lived in seclusion until now?
For the old white ape's question, Ding Zheng is naturally impossible to answer.
After this conversation with the old white ape, Ding Zheng temporarily left the old demon of Montenegro behind.
It can't even deal with the clone of the old demon of Montenegro in the mortal world.
Not to mention the ontology of the old demon of Montenegro in the underworld.
And now the entire city of vain death is under the suppression of the old demon of Montenegro.
Those powerful ghosts who have died in vain for thousands of years are also a huge problem, and the scarlet soul may not be able to deal with it.
Of course, if his own strength is stronger, or if he has the opportunity, Ding Zheng will definitely let the arrogant and domineering old demon of Montenegro know why the flowers are so red.
But at this point, it still can't do it.
Therefore, Ding Zheng focused more on cultivation and completing tasks.
Although the old white ape knew about the troubles of the Jiaolong clan, he didn't know where the Jiaolong clan was now.
If he wants to complete the task, Ding Zheng still has to find it himself.
So, Ding Zheng began to take Sun Bai out with him during the cultivation break.
I'm going to find some yokai who are more familiar with the local area, or go directly to the human town and see if I can find any clues.
As a result, it had only been out a few times before it got a piece of news that surprised it, but when it thought about it, it should have been expected.
It is on the peak of the mountain where the old white ape lives, more than ten miles to the south.
There is a barren mountain.
There is a temple on the hill.
There was a beautiful woman and ghost in the temple, who often lured people who passed by at night and stayed in the temple.
And in the process of rejoicing with those people, he sucked them up and turned them into dry bones.
It is rumored that there have been hundreds of outsiders so far.
The female ghost was left in the temple forever.
There is another county on the edge of the barren mountain.
It is called Guobei County.
Temple on the hill.
It is called Lanruo Temple!
