Before I came to the present time and space, I had already deduced from many detailed clues, and the secret of the gate, or the secret of the world, was first discovered by the Zhangxiong people. This kind of secret cannot be known to everyone, so the scope of the secret is limited, and it is within the Banda family.

Monkey Dajue is the penultimate generation of Gu Zhangxiong, and the secrets he holds are impossible for me to dig out from any clues.

The monkey Dajue also poured a little wine, and after drinking it, he said, "You have learned many secrets, and my sense will not be wrong." ”

"It's to understand something, I'm here to save my life, and to save other people's lives, but I haven't touched the secret center yet."

"Some things seem to be mysteries, mysteries, but they are not as complicated as you think, and the center of the secret is very simple."

It's been a long, long time since the Banda family passed down the secrets of the gate and the world. Monkey Dajue said that this secret was first discovered by an ancestor of the Banda family from a very strange book.

That book is called the Book of Stone Leaves, a slate is a page, the original of the Book of Stone Leaves has long been gone, and the descendants of the Banda family have not seen this book, but the content recorded in the Book of Stone Leaves has been passed down from generation to generation.

The main content of the Stone Leaf Book is about the world. It's just that these contents did not attract the attention of the Banda family at that time, because at that time, the ancient kingdom of Zhangzhung had just been formed, and the land on the plateau had not yet been fully occupied, there was no lack of living space, and there were no powerful enemies, so this secret had been stranded.

Until the time of the monkey's father, the crisis of Zhangxiong was already very obvious, the rise of Tubo was unstoppable, and the decline of Zhangxiong was also a matter of day and night. Zhang-zhung contacted the surrounding countries and tribes, but no one was willing to join forces with them to deal with the rising Tibet. With the passage of time, the form of Zhangxiong is in jeopardy, they cannot fight the Tibetans, and one day they will be squeezed out of the ancestral land where they have lived for generations.

Under such a premise, the father of the monkey Dajue told him the secret recorded in the stone leaf book back then. They made two preparations, on the one hand, they tried their best to find a place to live outside the plateau, and on the other hand, they went to dig out the secrets of the world. The Book of Stone Leaves said that if you can find the Great Thousand Worlds and control the Great Thousand Worlds, then you will not only have new territories, but also dominate the Ten Thousand Worlds.

Prior to this, the people of the Banda family had also explored the world tentatively, but it was not so urgent, starting from the father of the monkey Dajue, the world suddenly became the top priority.

When Monkey Dajue was twenty-seven years old, his father left Dapeng Silver City and was about to travel far away. Before the long journey, he made all the arrangements, and he passed the position of Dajue to Monkey Dajue, and also passed the position of the patriarch of the family to Monkey Dajue. The monkey was gifted and intelligent, and from his father's actions, he had a premonition.

"My father didn't tell me where he was going, and when I asked hard, he didn't say. I told him that I wanted to go with him, even if it was a point of no return. The monkey took a sip of light wine and said, "He won't, he told me that after he goes, no matter what, he will definitely come back." ”

Monkey Dajue's father set off, refused Monkey Dajue's request to go with him, and set out on his own road. This time was a long time, and the monkey had a very bad premonition, but he believed his father, because his father had never deceived him, and his father said that he would come back, and he would definitely come back.

About half a year after his father left, the monkey had a dream. For those who have practiced Banda Jaw, dreaming itself is very abnormal. Especially the kind of person who has a deep understanding of Bandar Jue, has a strong self-control over the spirit and consciousness, and will never dream for the rest of his life. If there is no special external interference, the dream will not come.

Monkey Dajue dreamed of his father, and his father told him in the dream that he should stop worrying about himself and not looking for himself, and that the most important thing to do now is to find a way to save Zhangxiong, so that the people of Zhangxiong will not be extinct, so that Zhangxiong's Taoism can continue.

By the time he woke up, the monkey had realized that it was impossible for his father to come back. Moreover, the father's admonitions in the dream actually indicate something.

"He wants to tell you that the secret of the world is unreliable? Or is it extremely dangerous? I asked, "He asked you to save Zhangzhung and continue the Zhangzhung lineage, that is, to let you give up the world and find a new territory and home in another way?" ”

"That's right." Monkey Dajue nodded and said, "No one knows my father better than I do, and he said that because he encountered great danger in the process of searching, he will not let me be in danger if he can't come back." ”

Monkey Dajue inherited the position of Zhangxiong Dajue at the age of twenty-seven, and for nearly thirty years after he succeeded to the throne, he really did not really search for the world. However, he did not give up completely, the content of the stone leaf book circulated in the family, Monkey Dajue knew it by heart, and the family predecessors' previous cognition and experience of the world, he also studied it countless times.

For nearly 30 years, Xiangxiong has been surviving for a long time, and the day is precarious. The monkey didn't want to wait any longer, so he made two preparations, on the one hand, he forcibly let all the Zhangxiong people migrate en masse and explore farther away to find a suitable place to live, and on the other hand, he decided to personally investigate the secrets of the world.

"I've been doing this for six years."

Monkey Dajue has a lot of first-hand information and information, but he is not reckless, because his father's lessons back then, vividly, he does not dare to have any mistakes, he is afraid that after any more accidents, the whole Zhangxiong will become a plate of loose sand. Therefore, in the past six years, Monkey Dajue has basically carried out actions that he is sure of, which is equivalent to foreshadowing and accumulation before real action.

After six years of preparation, he felt the time was ripe to give it a try. What's more, his son Bandacsada has been able to take on the task, and Monkey Dajue believes that even if something really happens to him, Bandacsada can lead the elephant on behalf of the elephant and continue to walk.

"So, I'm here at the right time?"

"It's just the right time." Monkey Dajue nodded: "I need you to be a helper, that way, it may be more certain." ”

I couldn't help but start thinking, before I came here, I thought about whether my arrival would cause any chain reaction, whether it would cause any trouble that should not have arisen. But now, I don't feel like I have a choice.

It's hard to explain clearly, this feeling in my heart, I feel more and more that the person Lu Fangding invited to calculate the eight characters for me must be correct. I have less than a year to live, and if I still cringe and hesitate, then by the time I become a corpse, I may not be able to do what I want to do.

"Okay." I raised my head and picked up the wine bowl in front of me: "Where are you going, what are you going to do, I'll go with you." ”

That night, Monkey Dajue took me out of the secret room and into the place where he usually lived alone. His life is relatively simple, and people in his position no longer pursue material comforts. The place where he lives is not much different from the secret room where I am being held.

He showed me some pictures of the places he had walked over the years. In these maps, I saw a place called Kulenze. I could recognize that this was actually a map of the Danmeng Basin.

"Where we're going, right here." Monkey Dajue stretched out his hand covered with fine brown hair and dotted on the map: "Demon Land." ”

We had been preparing for almost three days, and the monkey Dajue did not bring any retinue, because even if the search for the world failed, the secret could not be passed on. Before dawn broke on the fourth day, he and I set off and left Dapeng Silver City.

Looking at the ancient city behind me, sleeping in the darkness and silence, I wondered if I would ever come here again. Moreover, I thought about Tian Tian again.

"She's going to come back to life, and she's going to live, right?"

"Yes." Monkey Dajue responded very seriously: "I don't deceive you, my promise is like the mountain here, the mountain will not fall, the promise will always be there." ”

I've been to the Danmeng Basin a few times, but I haven't walked this route. Fortunately, the monkey memorized the route by heart, and the place where we passed had to pass through a large area controlled by the Tibetans. The hordes of Tibetan soldiers, coupled with the uncertain horse bandits, could not threaten a man who had already cultivated Banda Jue to the point of almost peak. It's safer to be with Monkey Dajue than with anyone else.

"I want to tell you that in the future, you may be in pain." The monkey touched the fine hair on his face and said, "After being bitten by a bug from the Demon Land, it can't be resolved, and it will become more and more painful. ”

"It doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter." I smiled bitterly, even my life was about to be gone, and I still cared about whether it was painful or not.

In this life, after all, it is bitter. Born bitter, dead bitter.

Monkey Dajue told me that he has been suffering from the sequelae of demonic insect bites for the past few years, because he has practiced Banda Jue and has a strong ability to control the spirit, so he has indirectly resolved a large part of the pain. On the way, the monkey Dajue began to teach me Bandar Jue.

I studied very seriously because I felt that this thing might be useful.
