Chapter 518: Born
Li Yushan breathed a long sigh of relief, fortunately they kept a hand, so they would not completely lose the trace of the enemy.
It's just that Bai Yongyan or the person acting on Bai Yongyan's skin is not a member of the White Lotus Sect?
If so, why don't you care about the life or death of other White Lotus demons,
If not, it was hard for Li Yushan to imagine that someone would provoke the tripartite forces of Wu Dewei, Xichang, and the White Lotus Sect at the same time.
Bang - pop!
Far away, a burning fire suddenly rose in the night sky to the west, bursting with a dazzling light, forming a vague moire pattern.
"Let's go!"
Li Yushan's face changed sharply, and he let out a low shout, beckoning his subordinates to rush out of the palace, ride their horses and run to the west of the city.
Yongling Temple and Annam monks caught up together,
Only the servants of the West Investigation Factory stood in the courtyard, looking at each other, and finally decided to leave five people to help dig the tunnel and wait for Yu Qingqiu.
The others followed Li Yushan and left the palace.
————
The dark underground,
A terrifying worm the size of a car, covered in a carapace and with an external mouthpart, is galloping through hundreds of pairs of steps, dragging a huge iron cage through a winding underground tunnel.
Xiangrui grasped the railing of the iron cage and lay half-on the bottom of the cage to reduce the bumps caused by the Diggers' worms as they advanced.
The dim and dull environment did not affect his eyesight, Xiangrui opened his pale green eyes, looked at the calm-faced man sitting on the worm carapace, and asked hoarsely, "You... Who the hell is it? ”
"Me?"
Li Ang maintained a meditative posture and said calmly, "Aren't you proficient in divination?" You should tell me this question. ”
"My eyes can see most of the things in this world, but I can't see through you."
Xiangrui shook his head, "I can't see your past, present, and future. ”
"That means your eyesight is declining, it's time to take eye drops to wash your eyes."
Li Ang said earnestly: "Otherwise, like me before, in order to pass the vision test, I can only deliberately write down all the directions of the E word in the vision chart." ”
“?”
Xiangrui was dumbfounded: "I don't understand what you're saying." ”
"It's nothing, I just advise you to protect your eyesight."
Li Ang said casually, turned his head, and looked at Xiangrui carefully, "By the way, do you have a name?" ”
Xiangrui was stunned when he heard this, "Name? I don't have that thing. ”
"How can you do it without a name, you can't always call you auspiciously."
Li Ang glanced at the ape and said casually: "Monkey King, Winston, Curious Monkey George, LBW, King Gigi, you can pick one of these names." ”
The ape scratched his head when he heard this, although he didn't know the specific meaning of these names, he always felt weird,
shook his head and said, "Forget it, the name is just a human code." Since I was born and raised, I don't need a name. ”
"Born and raised?"
Li Ang raised his eyebrows, "Where did you come from, you didn't also jump out of the stone, did you?" ”
"It's not."
The ape shook his head, not paying attention to the word "also", and said to himself: "I don't have the memory of when I was born,
The first thing I remember was when I opened my eyes and found myself falling from the sky and smashing into a jungle.
I was very badly injured at the time, and after getting up from the ground, I treated myself with the herbs around me, and then I lived in the jungle all the time. ”
The ape's gaze was a little out of focus, and he muttered to himself, "I've been in the jungle for seven years,
At first, I had to dodge jackals, tigers, leopards, pythons, poisonous insects, and I was often injured, and I was very embarrassed.
As time went on, I found myself getting stronger and smarter.
Able to craft a variety of tools to resist and even kill powerful beasts,
In the end, even some of the demons in the jungle were afraid of me and fled from my territory.
I've become the king of the jungle, but here I am,"
Xiangrui pointed to his heart and said in a low voice, "But it's always empty."
I feel lonely, lonely,
I want to find someone who can communicate with you,
However, even the apes in the jungle who most resembled me could not understand my intelligence,
No matter how much I teach them, I can't make them as smart as I am. ”
"Sounds pretty miserable."
Leon nodded, he could understand the feeling.
Xiangrui said to himself: "Then, I found a human village, they live a primitive and backward life on the edge of the forest,
The living environment is even worse than that of the civilians of the Central Plains.
I hid in the shadows and watched them, learning their language and knowledge – it wasn't difficult for me.
Sometimes, I will help them secretly,
For example, rescuing lonely people who have been attacked by predators and guiding them to plant crops suitable for the local soil.
They never noticed me, but they felt that the forest was sheltering them, and finally they set up a totem pole and worshiped the god of the forest.
However, I didn't fit into them. ”
Xiangrui pointed to his half-human, half-ape face, "Even if you shave the hair on your body and put on human clothes, you can't change this face."
If I go out of the jungle and declare to them that I am the god of the forest,
The biggest possibility is to be chased away as a demon and with a stick. ”
"Normal."
Li Ang said: "Ye Gong is a good dragon." ”
"That's right."
Xiangrui nodded and said: "Of course there is no such idiom in Annan, they have another way of saying it...
In short, I silently helped that village,
Using my innate knowledge, I planted precious trees at the edge of the forest, so that the villagers could become rich by selling timber.
From a small village of a dozen households, it has become a small town of hundreds or thousands of people. ”
"And then?"
Leon asked, "The news has spread too widely and attracted monks?" ”
"Not really."
Xiangrui said in a low voice: "I found a traveler on the mountain who was bitten by a poisonous snake, confused, and in danger.
And they brought him back to his lair, and saved his life.
When he awoke, he gave him herbs and food, and told him the way out of the mountains.
And told him not to reveal my existence to the outside world no matter what. ”
Leon shook his head and said, "It seems that he failed to keep his promise. ”
"yes..."
Xiangrui muttered: "He is very grateful to me, a thousand thanks, and he is full of promises to my request, claiming that he will keep his promise."
And that's exactly what he did at first.
In my hunch,
He walked out of the mountains with the herbs, but he got lost again, and finally came to a ferry port, and begged the boatman to give him a ride.
The boatman let him on the boat, when he had not eaten for several days, he was dizzy with hunger, and his internal organs were colic.
He prayed again for the boatman to have something to eat.
The boatman refused, saying that it was an exception to let him cross the river for free, and then let him eat and drink for nothing, spread the word, and passers-by asked for free.
Then you don't have to do the business of sailing. ”
