Chapter 1 Water Monkeys
Xiangjiang ghost only said a few more words on the topics he was interested in, and if he wasn't interested, he didn't open his mouth directly.
I followed the ghost of Xiangjiang to the shore and asked him what he meant by going home?
This is not Sichuan, nor is it in Chengdu, what can I go back to.......
And the bunch of words he muttered made me confused, why do you have to make me responsible for this?
But I know that all these questions will eventually be answered.
Even if the Xiangjiang ghost doesn't give it to me, sooner or later I will get it myself.
Once we got ashore, we were facing a bluestone staircase.
The staircase leads straight to the top of the mountain, and I feel a little dizzy when I look up.
Not only is it steep, but the drop of each step is very large, and the area that can be stepped on by people is a little small.......
It is no exaggeration to say that walking on such a staircase, one will have to tumble down the hill if you are not careful....... Broken tendons and fractures are light!
The steps are steep and uneven, and they are particularly narrow.
At the same time, only one person can pass, and two people can't walk together at all.
Xiangjiang ghost walked very slowly, walking in front of me step by step, looking at his swaying appearance, I was worried that he would fall down the mountain in the next second.
Maybe it's tired from walking.
Halfway up the mountain, the Xiangjiang ghost waved his hand and sat down with grinning teeth.
"The injury is not healed yet?" I asked with some concern.
Xiangjiang ghost nodded, saying that he had to raise it for a while.
"Why don't I take a look at it for you?" I asked tentatively.
"No need." When Xiangjiang Ghost spoke, although his expression was still so cold, his tone sounded much softer, and he seemed to be thanking me for his concern: "The medical skills of the future generations can't cure me, and the physical body Gu in your body can't help me, this kind of injury can only be slowly recovered by your own physical body......."
"You know the Flesh Gu?" I looked at him stunned: "Did Wu Xian Buddha tell you?" ”
Xiangjiang Ghost shook his head and said that this is not true.
"I've seen the Gu in your body, I've seen it twice, on two different people." Xiangjiang Ghost sighed: "It's a pity that the Gu in their bodies is too weak, and after living for a few years, they let the Gu torture themselves to death." ”
"Tortured to death by a flesh Gu?" I asked, frowning.
"It should be." Xiangjiang Ghost sighed: "When I met them, the corpse qi in their bodies was quite heavy, and that kind of qi was not quite the same as ordinary corpse qi, and it was difficult to dissolve. ”
"Are you sure that the Gu in their bodies is the same as mine?" I asked cautiously.
The Xiangjiang ghost didn't rush to answer, and recalled it carefully, and then said, "There are at least nine images." ”
"As you say........ The Gu in their bodies may indeed be flesh Gu ........" I frowned, and muttered in my heart: "I almost let the corpse qi torture to death at the beginning, if I hadn't gone to Xiangxi and happened to let people solve it, I might not have survived today." ”
"Actually, this kind of Gu planted in your body is very powerful, but it is more difficult to get started, one step at a .......time," Xiangjiang Ghost said, and looked at me deeply: "To be able to cultivate to your realm, in addition to enlightenment, you also need opportunities." ”
I smiled and said, "Well, I can't fix this step without a little luck."
Want to cultivate the flesh body Gu ....... steadily It's really too hard.
Even if you can endure it, can the flesh Gu endure it?
When Mr. first started, this kind of Gu was like a life-urging ghost, it was rushing all the way behind your ass, and if your cultivation progress was not fast enough, it could kill you without saying a word.
Just remember when I was tortured half to death by the Flesh Gu........ I'm still scared!
Sometimes I ask myself.
If I hadn't met the Brain Monster that time, would I have survived to this day unharmed?
Of course.
For what the Xiangjiang ghost said, there are still others cultivating the flesh body Gu, this kind of thing really surprises me.
I thought I was the only one who could do this...... Could it be that there is still a copy of the Gu Sutra we found?
But it doesn't matter.
I can be lucky to meet the Gu Sutra, and others may be lucky, and I will encounter something similar to the Gu Sutra, but it is just a physical Gu recorded in it.
"This is where you live?"
I asked curiously, looking left and right at the mountains and forests on both sides.
It's not an exaggeration to describe this place as a paradise.
Although the woods are dense, it doesn't feel gloomy when it looks at it, but it exudes an indescribable heartiness.
On both sides of the stairs, unknown wildflowers are also grown, and the air is filled with a light fragrance, which makes people feel calm.
This incomparably long bluestone staircase leads to the top of the mountain, but you can't see the scene at the top of the mountain, but it seems to lead to the blue sky.
On the other hand, you go down the mountain road to the river......
Sitting on the steps with the ghost of Xiangjiang, I looked at this scenery and only felt that this step was a bridge connecting heaven and earth, which was inexplicably unreal.
I felt like I was in a dream.
"I used to like to travel all over the world, but after that age, I want to settle down," Xiangjiang ghost said....... "This is my home, I have lived here for a long time, and I can't remember how many years I have lived." ”
As soon as the words fell, the Xiangjiang ghost also patted the bluestone steps.
"I opened this mountain road by myself, and I also picked bricks and built these steps one by one."
"You'll have a lot......." I smacked my lips, "That's a lot of work...... How long did you get it in the first place? ”
"A few months...... Or a few years? The Xiangjiang ghost muttered to himself and shook his head: "It's been too long, and I can't remember ......."
I really can't tell you when the ghost of Xiangjiang came to open the mountain road, but looking at the simple and vicissitudes of this step, it doesn't go through a long period of time...... Surely it doesn't show such a pure feeling.
Thinking so, my eyes involuntarily stared at the river below in a daze, and suddenly I saw a few flashes on the surface of the river, as if something was reflecting.
It looks like a mirror reflecting the sun's rays, and it's so dazzling.
And these reflective things are still moving rapidly, going upstream, and you don't feel the slightest resistance.
I thought it was the river reflecting the light, but after a few seconds of closer inspection, I realized that the reflection was fixed and moving at a constant speed.......
Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but be a little curious, put my hands on the pergola, and carefully observed the movement of those things.
"What are these things...... You can move so fast against the current........"
Hearing my muttering, the Xiangjiang ghost also raised his head, glanced at the river, and then gave me an answer.
"Water monkeys."
"And the water monkeys here?!" My eyes widened and I said with great interest, "I haven't seen a water monkey yet, so I have to go down and see it!" ”
As I spoke, before I could go down, the Xiangjiang ghost grabbed me.
"I don't need to go on." Xiangjiang Ghost said, then put his finger to his mouth and whistled twice.
The loud and distant whistle was extremely abrupt in the mountains, breaking the silence in the mountains and forests almost instantly.
Before I could figure out the situation, I saw a few reflective spots on the river, quickly turned around in the middle of the river, and swam straight towards us.
When the hairy little monsters crawled out of the water, my eyes were flying out.
Fuck!! This is really a water monkey!!
Under the whistle of the Xiangjiang ghost, the five water monkeys screamed a few times in unison, as if they were responding to the Xiangjiang ghost, and then ran towards us in three steps and two steps.
It's the same as the old man they said.
When the water monkey leaves the water, it has little ability on its own, and its movements in the mountains and forests look extremely clumsy.
It took them at least two or three minutes to run to us from the bottom of the mountain.
"You...... You know them well, huh? I asked tentatively, and the eyes of the ghosts of Xiangjiang became high.
"It's okay."
Xiangjiang ghost said, took out a kettle from his bag, unscrewed the lid, and beckoned to the water monkeys.
Watching the ghosts of the Xiangjiang River drenching those water monkeys, I couldn't help but be curious, seeing what they meant...... Looks like a good relationship.
Before I could ask more, I saw that the mountains and forests on both sides of the steps were shaking, not because of the earthquake, but because the trees were shaking wildly.
"Come, I'll show you these neighbors of ours."
