"No Zhiqi? Zhu is tired? Li Xuebin frowned.

"There weren't many monkey-type monsters in ancient myths and legends." Professor Wang said. "When everyone mentions the monkey demon, they will immediately think of the Monkey King's six-eared macaque in Journey to the West, or Yuan Hong in the Romance of the Gods, but these are all artistic images created by the family. The earliest monkey demon that really circulated among the people was Wuzhiqi. ”

It is a water monster in ancient myths and legends, and it is said that it is shaped like an ape, with a collapsed nose, a convex forehead, a white head and a green body, fiery eyes, a head and neck up to 100 feet, and a strength of more than nine elephants. When Dayu controlled the water, there was no support for Qi to make waves and obstruct it in every way. So Dayu was very angry, summoned the gods, and personally issued an order to the divine beast Kui Long, and captured Wuzhiqi. Although Wu Zhiqi was arrested, he still fought and jumped, and no one could control it. So Yu locked his neck with a big iron cable, put a golden bell on his nose, and suppressed him at the foot of Huaiyin Turtle Mountain, and from then on Huaishui flowed calmly into the East China Sea. ”

"Repression?" Sun Yang asked.

"Not bad." Professor Wang said. "You see, is Wuzhiqi's image very similar to Sun Wukong? The same ape, the same fiery eyes, the same trouble, the same suppressed under the mountain. Some scholars speculate that Wu Chengen should have referred to the story of Wuzhiqi when writing Journey to the West, and used some of them in the image of Sun Wukong after remodeling. ”

"But Wuzhiqi is a water monster, and the monster on the stone carving obviously has nothing to do with water." Zhang Chengmin said.

"That may be the legendary Zhu Yan, this is also a fierce beast, it is said that as soon as it appears, there will be war in the world." Professor Wang then said. "Or is it a long right? But Changyou is also a water demon, and it should be the same thing as Wuzhiqi. ”

"Anything else that comes close to the shape?" Li Xuebin asked.

"There are some legendary humanoid monsters, let me think about it." Professor Wang said. "There is a kind of man called Aoin, who looks like a man, but has a long tongue, and his hands are tiger claws, and he likes to eat people's brains. Then there's the mandrill, or the mandrill, which is a human-faced monkey-like animal that can talk and change, but it doesn't seem to be a ferocious beast. ”

"What else?" Li Xuebin asked.

"There is a kind of chisel tooth, which is also humanoid, but the characteristics are obvious, the tooth is like a chisel, it should not be." Professor Wang recalled repeatedly. "And then there's the drought, everyone should know that, right?"

"What are the records of Zhu Yan?" Li Xuebin asked.

"Not much is documented." Professor Wang replied. "It is recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas in the West Mountain Classic: 'Four hundred miles to the west, it is said that the mountain of the small second, there is a lot of white jade on it, and there is a lot of red copper under it. There are beasts, whose shape is like an ape, and the white head is barefoot, the name is Zhu Yan, and the soldier is a soldier when he sees it. That's all there is to it. ”

Sun Yang remembered the legend of the old horse monkey that he had heard from the innkeeper before, and the monster described in it was also monkey-shaped, with huge size, red hair all over his body, only the hair on the top of his head and the soles of his feet was white, fierce by nature, he loved to eat other animals and fought with the ancestors of the Sanmiao people.

Is there any correlation between the two? He hurriedly said this.

"Then let's consider it according to Zhu Yan for the time being." Li Xuebin then said.

He leaned over to the half-collapsed altar, and there was a deep cavern underneath, about a dozen meters deep. If this was something that had been suppressed before, it must have been huge.

"Immediately arrange for someone to go down and check to see if there are any hair, dander, feces and other residues." Li Xuebin said. "Where did such a big thing go?"

All the things that Sun Yang could do here were done, and Li Xuebin's subordinates did not find any traces of the giant animal's activities around, which made them guess that the thing suspected to be Zhu Yan should still be in the cave, which made their progress suddenly slow down.

Sun Yang didn't have the heart to wait for the result, he talked to Dai Baichuan who was far away in Yuanshan City on the phone and asked him to help coordinate, and Li Xuebin finally agreed to let him leave.

"You should know the content of the newly enacted law, and I won't talk to you about secrecy or anything like that." He said before sending Sun Yang away. "If you think of any clues, be sure to call us right away!"

The helicopter took Sun Yang directly to the hospital, where Sun Yang heard the best news for him, Master Cao had woken up, but he couldn't say much yet.

"The hospital has just notified the Special Cases Management Bureau, and they will probably send someone over." Lu Xiaoling's mood was not very good. "It's too much! The medical conditions in Zhijiang are not good enough, and we want to transfer him to Linjiang, but they are not allowed to leave, and they must be questioned before they are allowed to go! ”

"What did he say?"

"He's not in good spirits, he hasn't said anything, but he asked you after seeing me." Lu Xiaoling replied. "I told him you had something to do with the Special Cases Administration."

"Does he know what's going on?"

"I didn't elaborate, I just told him that we came with Brother Xu Hai to save him and found him in a cave."

Sun Yang nodded: "Just say it like this, there's no need to say too much." ”

He didn't want Master Cao to have any more thoughts because of the danger they encountered, for him, everyone came back alive, and this result was the most important thing.

"He should be awake, you go inside!" Lu Xiaoling said.

Sun Yang gently pushed the door open, Cao Fang and Xu Hai were sitting next to the hospital bed, and when they saw him come in, the two of them glanced at each other.

"You came, just in time my father had something to say to you." Cao Fang's expression was a little unnatural, but she still said something to Cao Daoping, and then pulled Xu Hai out.

Sun Yang walked to the bedside, the swelling on Cao Daoping's face had subsided, and the abnormal purple red color had also faded, replaced by a sad emaciation and sickly paleness that made Sun Yang's heart very uncomfortable.

"This time...... Let me see the joke. Cao Daoping said weakly.

"Don't say that." Sun Yang hurriedly said.

"To you and Xiaoling, I won't say anything thank you or not." Cao Daoping smiled reluctantly.

"I don't have to."

Cao Daoping nodded slightly: "Is the thing in that hole still there?" He asked suddenly. I want to hear the truth. ”

"It's already out, and the Special Cases Administration is investigating." Sun Yang did not hide it.

"Is it Baron?"

"No, Barong was killed, and it is not known who broke the seal."

Cao Daoping's emotions became excited, and he suddenly coughed again and again, and the nurse sitting next to him hurriedly came over to check. "Don't say anything that affects the patient's mood!" She glared at Sun Yang.

Cao Daoping still struggled to say something, but Sun Yang hurriedly said: "Master Cao, now that the Special Case Management Bureau has fully taken over, things shouldn't be so bad that things should be anywhere, you can recuperate, and we'll talk about this matter again when you're better, okay?" ”

Cao Daoping was obviously unwilling, but he also knew the condition of his body, so he could only nod in the end.

"You rest first, and someone from the Special Cases Administration may come over later."
