I looked at Mr. Lu and said, "This is too godly, do you see it clearly?" ”

Mr. Lu nodded. said: "Of course I see it clearly. Did you see their gestures? This is used when dying, which means that the body remains here, and the soul is about to soar into an immortal. ”

I stared at the monkey's corpse for a moment, and then I noticed that the monkey's gestures seemed to be quite similar to those of the Wanderer when he was dying.

Xue Qian said to Mr. Lu: "Your faction is simply eclectic in accepting apprentices, even monkeys?" ”

He said this as he stared at me with a smile. I sneered and ignored him.

I said to Mr. Lu: "Monkeys like to imitate people's movements, I don't know how many Taoists have died here, they can pose this action, are they used to seeing the scene of those Taoists when they are dying?" ”

Mr. Lu nodded. said: "There is a possibility. But. Even so, these monkeys seem to be too smart. ”

After a while, the monkeys left two behind, and the rest scattered in all directions.

We don't know what these monkeys are up to, and we're all waiting for some reason. After a while, the monkeys returned, each with a large bunch of branches and leaves.

They smashed the branches and leaves on the stones, smashed them into a paste, and smeared them on the monkey's carcass.

I asked, "What is this?" ”

The water ghost said, "This grass is called dragon whiskers. Look at the stuff on top of its head. Wisps, like a beard? ”

I nodded and asked, "What does it mean that they put dragon whiskers on monkeys?" ”

The water ghost smiled bitterly: "Lord Zhao, I don't know about this. The monkeys here are so weird, who knows what they mean by that? However, they seem to have a soft spot for this grass. From time to time, I have to mash it into a paste, rub it on my body, and sometimes eat it. ”

He smiled and said, "We water ghosts and monkeys are also neighbors, we get along day and night, and we often meet. So I know them better, and other people don't understand the habits of these monkeys. ”

All night, the monkeys were circling the carcass in circles. There was a whining sound in his mouth, as if he was seeing off the dead soul.

I saw them lined up, back and forth, with certain rules in them.

I asked Mr. Lui, "This is also learned from others?" ”

Mr. Lu squinted his eyes and said, "This set of rules is for the soul to see off. If the monkeys can learn this, they can be considered Taoist priests. ”

We stared at the monkeys for a while, and they were always going back and forth there, and there were no new tricks.

I looked at the water ghosts and asked casually, "You water ghosts have also harmed a lot of people in this river, right?" ”

The water ghost's face was embarrassed, and he said, "I have indeed harmed a few people before, but not recently. ”

I asked again, "You've found a stand-in." Why not reincarnate? ”

The water ghost smiled and said, "What's so good about being reincarnated? In the next life, those who are intrigued will have to suffer. It's better to be a water ghost, once you get the reuse, you have to get the wind and the rain, isn't it much better than being a man? ”

I smiled, "That's a good point. ”

At this time, the sky was about to dawn, and the water ghost said, "Lords, look at my ......"

I understood what he meant, and smiled, "You go back first." Bring us here, and your mission is done. ”

The water ghost nodded, and without being polite, he turned to leave. When he was halfway there, he suddenly stopped again and said, "Lord Zhao, that incident ......"

I smiled and said, "Don't worry, when I go back, I will definitely intercede for you." ”

The water ghost was overjoyed, thanked me repeatedly, and left.

Soon after the water ghost was gone, the rooster crowed. The monkeys stopped abruptly.

Xue Qian was amazed: "These monkeys are good, they actually know how to listen to chickens." ”

Mr. Lu said inexplicably: "Are they really monkeys?" ”

I saw that the monkeys slowly lowered the monkey corpse to the ground, and then began to pile stones on his body. They placed it carefully, as if they were worried about crushing the corpse. After a while, the stones turned into a grave bag. And the monkeys scattered.

Mr. Lu took out the dry food from his bag, divided it among the two of us, and asked, "What shall we do?" ”

I smiled bitterly: "Mr. Lu, you have always been our backbone, why did you ask us what to do?" ”

Mr. Lu smiled: "Aren't you smart? See if there's any good idea? ”

Xue Qian snorted: "Don't you two hold each other's back, okay?" Let's get practical. ”

I pointed to the monkey corpse and said, "I always felt that those dragon whiskers were the key. ”

Mr. Lu nodded: "Everything that is used on the corpse is definitely unusual. Those Taoist priests in the past folded inside, probably because they didn't find out Monkey Mountain. But the water ghosts are different, they have been in this place for many years, and they spend time with the monkeys, and what they find strange must be very suspicious. ”

Xue Qian asked, "What do you two mean that we will be safe to enter Monkey Mountain by smearing the juice made from dragon whiskers on our bodies?" ”

Mr. Lu nodded and said, "That's what I think. ”

Xue Qian scratched her head and said, "After all, this is what we deduced, and there is no evidence." Someone should be sent to test it. If it's really okay, it's not too late for us to go in. ”

When Xue Qian said this, her eyes kept rolling on me, and I hurriedly said, "I'm not going, don't look for me." ”

Mr. Lu smiled at me: "Why are you scared like this?" ”

He stretched and said, "We don't have to go, I have a way to try." ”

I asked, "How?" ”

Mr. Lu lay on the grass, squinted his eyes, and said, "I've been busy all night, I'm too sleepy now, I'll sleep for a while." Then he squinted and fell asleep.

Xue Qian and I glanced at each other, smiled helplessly, and then stuffed the dry food into our mouths in two bites, and closed our eyes.

I was in a daze when I heard the phone ring. I casually pressed the answer button, and a deep voice came from there: "Brother Zhao, I'm a drunk." ”

I said in a daze, "It's a drunkard, where are you?" ”

It was only after I asked this question that I realized something was wrong. I snapped my eyes open and saw that the sun was still hanging high above me.

The drunken man said, "Brother Zhao, I didn't fall asleep this time. ”

I also realized this problem, and said with some excitement and confusion: "Did you live until dawn?" ”

The drunken man said, "I have said a long time ago, I am not dead, but asleep. ”

He paused, and said in a somewhat panicked voice: "I see the day, and I see the sun." ”

I smiled and said, "How do you feel?" ”

The drunk said nervously, "I'm scared, there are a lot of people on the street." They can see what I'm doing. ”

I smiled and asked, "Why didn't you fall asleep this time?" Is there anything special going on? ”｜.

The drunken thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I slept for a few minutes. And then I had that dream again. I dreamed that the giant had fallen. Then you show up and wake up the giant. When he woke up, so did I. Then I found out that I was still me. There was no change of identity this time. ”

I talked to the drunkard for a while, and I never got the rest of the news. Finally he said he was coming here to find me, and after asking for the address, he hung up.

I looked at my watch, and it was already afternoon. I sat on the grass and watched the river in the distance.

After a while, Xue Qian also sat up, and he asked, "You were talking to the drunk on the phone just now?" ”

I nodded and said, "This time, he didn't die. Survived to the daytime. ”

Mr. Lu still had his eyes closed, but he let out a long sigh and said, "It seems that this place is really the hometown of Chao Fu. The three of us came here, and we may have been sensed by the demon bones, so there have also been some changes in the body of the fungus. ”

Then he sat up and said, "You all know all those dragon whiskers that the monkeys found just now, right?" Let's find a little bit and get ready to go up the mountain. ”
