Chapter 9: The Great Ape in the Mountains

It's like sinking to the bottom of the sea, and your body can't move.

His consciousness struggled in the deep water, but the more he struggled, the deeper he sank.

He felt as if he was dead, and he didn't know why he thought that.

Lu Shan slowly opened his eyes, and it was pitch black all around.

There was no sun in this world for a long time, and now that he woke up, he couldn't tell whether it was day or night.

There are some glowing plants and insects in the space, so you can't see anything.

All around was something like old bark, surrounded on all sides.

The top is also made of wood, with rough sanding marks on the surface.

This is in the big tree, Lu Shan thought to himself.

In one direction, he found a large hole more than ten meters high, and Lu Shan went out from there.

The outside world was bright, and he hadn't seen such a soft and natural glow since the sun had disappeared.

Then he noticed that the light seemed to come from shimmering particles in the air.

Outside were woods, all of them extremely stubby, and more than one.

It was rare to see so many thick trees before the end of the world, and Lu Shan seemed to have come to another world.

There was no bloodshed and no carnage, and there was peace and quiet.

There were birds chirping and beasts chirping in the woods, and he was back in nature.

"You're awake." A man dressed in a garment made of blades of grass and animal skin suddenly appeared.

Lu Shan was taken aback, "Who are you?" He asked, a little wary.

"I'm the master here, you can call me the Great Ape King." The man with a bit of an orangutan looked, said.

"The Great Ape King?" Lu Shan is unknown.

"You come with me." Although it was an inviting tone, the Great Ape King was holding him and walking with him.

The Great Ape King grabbed the sturdy vines, and after swinging over a few large trees, he came to a clearing.

In this clearing, there is a huge ape.

Lu Shan had never seen such a big creature, and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak at this time.

"This is my body, and this body is just a differentiated part of my cells." The Great Ape King spoke calmly.

Lu Shan next to him slowly turned his head, not daring to imagine that a life that looked like an ordinary person was actually a giant ape with a height of 100 meters.

"We evolved from wild apes in the mountains, and we don't know when we developed intelligence." The giant ape spoke, his voice humming.

"Are you talking?" Lu Shan asked the man next to him, he looked like a wild man.

"It's me, when we gain wisdom, we start to wonder what we are and what we are here for." The Great Ape King's eyes were deep.

"What are you doing like that? Wouldn't it be good to live well, eat when you're hungry, and sleep when you're sleepy. Lu Shan said.

Hearing this, the Great Ape King was very excited, "This is what animals do, intelligent life should seek a higher existence, seek the sublimation of consciousness and soul. ”

"You human beings also understand these truths when you get up early, so Lao Tzu and Buddha appeared, but now you seem to have been deceived."

"Your wisdom is in the dust, and you have finally obtained it, but you have used it to spoil your desires!"

The more the Great Ape King spoke, the more angry he became, and after a short silence Lu Shan, he said:

"There are many people in our human society who follow the will of our ancestors, or how can there be a prosperous society today, and there are also many people among us who have been cultivating wisdom all their lives."

"You see those who are strong in desire, but you don't see those who are at peace."

"In my eyes, you are just one of the ordinary people, ordinary people have desires, and you also have desires."

"Ordinary people are led by emotions, and so are you."

The Great Ape King came back to his senses violently, he was indeed led by emotion just now.

Human beings have wisdom and inappropriate behavior to make him angry, but in fact he is within the control of his emotions.

He fell into deep thought, he didn't know how long it had been, Lu Shan only knew that he had fallen asleep.

Seeing the Great Ape King, still thinking there.

After another moment, he slapped his thigh.

"yes!" It dawned on him that although he was full of righteous words, he had not been able to escape the framework of being bound by feelings.

Lu Shan felt that he had understood, and said: "I know a person, he is a very purposeful person, no, maybe he should say that he has his own ideas." ”

"He can do many things to achieve his goals, even if some of those things are spurned by people, and others cannot easily shake him."

"Tell me about your settlement." Lu Shan was afraid that this guy would fall into contemplation again, so he quickly changed the topic.

This big guy is actually not so terrible, for Lu Shan, as long as he can communicate with his life, it is not so terrible.

Even if the Great Ape King said that he was going to kill him now, he would not have the slightest fear.

"Our tribe is not large in number, but they are all elite, we seem to be a race favored by the heavens, and after reaching a certain level of strength, we will have wisdom."

"Like you humans, we are a sapient race."

Lu Shan nodded, from the series of performances of the Great Ape King, the Giant Ape Clan can indeed be classified as a wise race.

"How can you speak human language?" Lu Shan discovered a blind spot.

"If you learn from people from the outside world, you have good things, we naturally have to learn, and we can even learn science and technology in the future."

Good guy, he even thought about the future, this guy is more far-sighted than the average person.

"Our giant ape tribe is the master of this area, although we dominate one side, but we have a fatal flaw."

Lu Shan pricked up his ears and listened.

"The reproduction rate of our ethnic group is too low, the number has not been able to rise, and it is difficult to develop into a civilization without a huge number as a foundation." The Great Ape King said worriedly.

"I think you have a chance." Lu Shan thought for a while and said.

"Huh? Tell me why. He was curious, after all, it was about the community.

"There are many manifestations of civilization, and if the quantity is not enough, the quality is to make up."

"The giant ape has considerable wisdom and great strength, and it can completely top ten."

Quantity is important, and so is quality.

In fact, in Lu Shan's heart, it is not so simple for the giant ape to truly develop into a civilization.

They need a mind to rule them.

There are major popes and all kinds of wise people in human beings, all of whom can rule the human spirit.

And now the giant ape doesn't seem to have it.

The Great Ape King thought about it and felt that it made sense.

If it is an ordinary creature, it is completely impossible to follow the route of such a high-quality individual, but they have intelligence and great strength, and they can change nature to a certain extent.

They are the primordial gods, and the race of the gods are all gods, and they don't need a large number of individuals to maintain their vitality.

"You're right." The Great Ape King was overjoyed.

"Let's go, I'll take you to dinner, and I'll set up a feast, hoping to make a human friend."

Led by the great ape, they came to a palace, a palace of human form.

This guy didn't know what he was thinking just now, so he directly ordered the other clansmen that the human form represented the form of their wisdom, and the ontology was the "divine body" that represented power.

Therefore, life and other things, including wisdom, must use the human body.

Lu Shan didn't feel anything strange or frightened, for him, the giant ape was actually the same intelligent body as ordinary people.

They also have human thoughts, and they also have some human thoughts, and in essence they are the same.

Entering the feast, there was a large table in the palace, on which were placed a lot of fruits and vegetables, as well as some meat that was grilled to charcoal.

Although it is dark on the outside, after cutting it, there will be a lot of oil and water, as well as fresh and tender meat, and some condiments from the mountains.

The taste is quite good, and Lu Shan is a person who hasn't eaten for I don't know how many days.

These dishes are a treasure trove in his eyes.

"Eat with your belly open, your human belly is just a little, if it's not enough, I'll bake it on the spot." The Great Ape King said, holding a wooden cup or something like that.

He raised the wooden cup, as if he was toasting, and Lu Shan clinked glasses with him and drank it all in one gulp.

It's a drink that doesn't taste very good, but it's acceptable.

What Lu Shan didn't expect was that the giant ape clan would even toast, the food would be roasted over fire, and condiments would be used.

Entertain guests with a table for a feast.

Isn't that the same as a human touch?

Lu Shan's eyes were a little strange, but in fact, unconsciously, the giant ape clan had been assimilated by humans.

Their living habits have the shadow of human beings, and even the development path after them also thinks of technology.

This is equivalent to one branch of human civilization, and the great ape family is another branch of human civilization.

"We're not necessarily friends." Lu Shan said after taking a bite of meat.

"Enemies?" The Great Ape King's face changed, and the other giant apes around him also had cold faces, gathering around him.

"Perhaps, we are the same existence, but the future path may be different, but in essence, we are the same, it should be said that we are also each other's people."

Lu Shan ate the meat, ignoring the other giant apes around him.

He already really felt the consistency between the two sides, and they were able to communicate.

The others relaxed their vigilance, and the Great Ape King said with a smile: "It's not good for you to speak well at one time, we are all vulgar people." ”

"I'm also a rough person, but your current death is too one-threaded."

"I said I hate you, do you understand?"

The Great Ape King nodded, and the other Great Apes also nodded.

"But I said I like you at the same time, do you understand?" Lu Shan spoke, his mouth did not stop, and the barbecue meat was stuffed into his mouth piece by piece.

"How can you like and hate it at the same time?" The great apes were full of question marks.

"Suppose I hate you because you've killed people, can you understand that?"

"Understand, after all, it's our own compatriots, and we have indeed done this kind of thing."

"Besides, I like you because you entertained me, can you understand?"

"Understand, others are good to you, it's okay if you like him." The Great Ape King nodded yes.

"Isn't that all there is to it?"

The Great Ape King was deep in thought, and the other giant apes were also scratching their heads.

Lu Shan eats barbecue alone, and when he feels tired, he will wrap the barbecue with vegetable leaves, and the food is beautiful.
