Chapter 480: Up the Mountain
Mr. Lu stood up, looked at the top of the mountain, and said, "Let's go." Go up and have a look. What did our ancestors leave us? ”
The three of us undressed and put the dragon's whiskers on our bodies, and even put a lot of them in our mouths.
The grass was bitter, but I didn't spit it out to save my life, and I'm now starting to wonder a little about how the monkeys put up with the smell.
After cleaning up, Mr. Lu took the lead in walking into the range of Monkey Mountain with an oil lamp in his hand, Xue Qian walked in the middle, and I followed behind with a big knife on my back.
It was quiet above Monkey Mountain, only the footsteps of the three of us.
Xue Qian had a dragon whisker in her mouth. The words were a little vague: "It's really a thing to a thing." Who knew that such an ordinary grass would be a treasure in this place. ”
I said, "I'll have to wait a while to find out if it's a baby." If we go near the cave and something is wrong, run as fast as possible. ”
Xue Qian said: "This is natural, do you still need to tell me?" ”
When the three of us were halfway there, Mr. Lu suddenly stopped.
I asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Mr. Lu pointed to the front and said, "They are cultivating. ”
I looked in the direction of his finger and the monkeys were sitting on the rocks, meditating. They seal their hands. It really seems to be a decent monasticism.
Monkeys learn human movements, nothing more than for fun. Being able to meditate here quietly for so long can't just be out of curiosity.
I silently thought to myself, "Are they really cultivating the Tao?" And who taught them the art of tuning? ”
Mr. Lu's pace was very slow, and he took the two of us and slowly approached the monkeys.
There aren't many monkeys, just about two dozen of them. But they stand in our way. I took a closer look. I really found a broken tail monkey, sitting in the middle of the monkey group.
Mr. Lu had already walked to the center of the monkey group, and he walked carefully, trying not to alarm the monkey group. But the monkeys were still awake, and they were grinning at us and seemed to be smiling at us.
Xue Qian said: "Why do I feel a little wrong? ”
I nodded and said, "I feel the same way, too." ”
At this time. The monkeys had already gotten up and were coming around us. They sniffed at us, then took two steps back and shouted around us as if threatening us.
Mr. Lu bowed politely and said, "Please make it convenient, we need to go up the mountain." ”
The monkeys did not get out of the way, but stood in a line, blocked the road, and pressed towards us step by step. The meaning couldn't be more obvious, they didn't want us to go up the mountain, and they were going to use this method to drive us away.
Xue Qian said: "Lao Zhao, prepare guys." ”
As soon as he had finished saying this, the monkeys picked up the stones from the ground.
I looked at them dumbfounded and exclaimed, "Can these monkeys understand us?" ”
Mr. Lu seemed to have thought of something, he muttered to himself, and said, "I can understand people's speech, and I know how to cultivate Taoism......"
Suddenly, he saluted the monkeys and said, "My surname is Lu, and I am a Taoist priest. ”
After he said this, the monkeys returned the salute lightly, and had no intention of letting the one open the way.
Xue Qian asked, "What do these monkeys want to do?" ”
Mr. Lu turned around, smiled bitterly, and said, "I'm afraid they're not monkeys." ”
When I heard him say this, my heart immediately reacted, and I blurted out: "Old man." ”
Mr. Lu nodded: "Yes, like the old man Gu, the body is the body of a monkey, but the soul is not necessarily." ”
As the two of us talked, I noticed that the monkeys looked a little surprised, as if they didn't expect us to say this.
Xue Qian thought for a while and said, "No wonder the old man said that the monkeys here are immortal. In fact, they are not immortal, but after they die, a new soul burrows into this skin. For so many years, only Taoist priests dared to enter the mountain, so to speak, the souls of the monkeys are Taoist priests? ”
The three of us unscrupulously analyzed these monkeys. And their eyes are getting more and more complicated.
After a while, they got out of the way.
We rejoiced: "It's done?" ”
We walked along the road and found a big rock at the end of the road with a big monkey sitting on it. With its eyes slightly closed, it pointed to another stone next to it, as if inviting us to sit down.
I saw this monkey with a sharp beak and cheeks, which was very funny, but it had the bearing of a grandmaster, and I couldn't help but want to laugh.
The monkey opened his eyes and looked at us, then opened his mouth and said a few syllables with great difficulty.
I was stunned: "He's talking?" ”
Perhaps the vocal cords of monkeys are different from those of humans, and these syllables are extremely difficult to distinguish. But the three of us discussed it for a while and guessed what he was talking about. The monkey said, "Yes, we are indeed Taoist priests. ”
When I saw this strange sight, I was surprised and excited. It felt like I had discovered some big secret.
Xue Qian whispered in my ear: "Lao Zhao, let's catch these monkeys back and sell them to the zoo." Such a smart monkey will definitely sell for a lot of money. ”
I glanced at him and thought, "Xue Qian, this kid has a really big heart." We are now surrounded by monkeys, and he dares to say that. ”
Mr. Lu said to the big monkey, "We want to go to the top of the mountain and see the demon bones." ”
The big monkey shook his head, pointed to the grave not far away, and said, "There is only one monkey corpse here, and there are three of you. What's more, the monkey corpse will not be used until a month later. If you go, you will surely die, so you should go down the mountain as soon as possible. ”
Mr. Lu said, "We have already painted dragon whiskers on our bodies, we should be fine, right?" ”
The big monkey grinned, as if mocking us: "Now that you are peaceful, you think you have a plan." Once the demon bones are powerful, the dragon whiskers on your body will not be able to resist them at all. The bodies of these monkeys have been here for generations, and although their spirits change frequently, their bodies have not changed. They have eaten an unknown number of dragon whiskers, and the medicinal effect has soaked into the flesh and skin. That's why you can barely survive when the demon bones are powerful, and you can't. ”
Mr. Lu looked at the top of the mountain with some unwillingness and asked, "When will the demon bones be powerful?" ”
The big monkey said, "Whether it's a person or a thing, if you try to break into the cave, the demon bones will be powerful. Then he pointed to himself: "Even we don't dare to rush into the hole." ”
I sighed and said, "Mr. Lu, otherwise let's forget it." This trip was too dangerous. ”
Mr. Lu said with some reluctance: "But this place has a lot to do with the underworld, let's leave today, I don't know when we will have such an opportunity again." ”
When he said this, he asked the monkeys, "Have you ever seen an ancestor?" ”
The big monkey screamed, as if he had heard of the name, but he hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know anyone, even if that old ancestor comes, I don't know." "-#~Wonderful Pen Pavilion?++
After he said this, he thought about it again, and then said, "A few months ago, someone did come here. The man had neither a body nor a soul, just a shadow. We tried to stop him, but he seemed to be in the same world as us, and went straight through our bodies and straight into the cave. ”
"At the beginning, the demon bone sensed him, and the mountain was filled with a strange fragrance. But later, it was as if the fragrance had been suppressed. It was suddenly interrupted. ”
The big monkey looked at us: "This person should be the ancestor you said." In a few years, only one person has been here. ”
Mr. Lu couldn't hide his joy in his expression: "That's right. That's right, he's the guy we're looking for. ”
Then, Mr. Lu pointed at me and said, "He is the person designated by the ancestors. There is a certain connection between the two of them. So we had to go into the cave and look for the message left by our ancestors. ”
The big monkey looked at us and thought, "You mean, he can get close to the demon bones?" ”
Mr. Lu said with some confidence: "If the old ancestor really wants Zhao Mang to go in, he should have done something on the demon bones." So...... I guess he can get close. ”
