The white monkey seemed to be fascinated by the melodious mountain song, and squatted motionless on the tree, listening quietly.

"This monkey still listens to songs? What a miracle! Ding Laosan was very surprised.

Ye Lao stared at it for a while, and said slowly: "I'm afraid this is not an ordinary monkey, but a white ape that has cultivated to perfection!" ”

"What! Is it a monkey spirit? When Ding Laosan heard this, he quickly pulled out the Xuantie Sword.

As soon as Ding Laosan's sword came out of the sheath, the singing stopped abruptly, and the white ape also turned his head and stared at the three of them vigilantly.

Suddenly, the white ape stood up, raised his head and let out a long cry, and after a while, the sound of rustling came from the mountains and forests on all sides.

"Damn, what's going on?" Ding Laosan was a little surprised.

"I don't know, everyone should be careful!" Ye Lao said, and also clenched the jujube wood cane in his hand.

After waiting for a while, I saw countless macaques of all sizes surrounding the three of them.

"Holy! Third master, you won't be the monkey king on this mountain! ”

"Damn! How did I know that guy was still a monkey king! Besides, Lao Tzu didn't drop him, didn't he just pull out his sword. Ding Laosan looked at the group of monkeys surrounding them, and felt a tingling of his scalp.

At this moment, there was a sudden scolding: "Don't be rude! Don't hurry up and disperse, but don't scare the guests who come from afar. ”

I saw that the white ape raised its head and barked a few more times, and the group of monkeys immediately scattered and ran away.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, but quickly put away their swords, they didn't want to anger the monkey king anymore.

After a while, a man came out of a dense bush on the cliff next to him, this man had white hair and white beard and white eyebrows, he looked like he was past his old age, he wore a hat with some raw edges on his head, and on his back he carried a broken bamboo basket full of holes, and his clothes were even more tattered, and he was patched up and down.

The old man looked kind, and said to the three of them, "The monkeys on this mountain are quite stubborn, so you should be careful. It's just that the mountains behind Qingcheng are inaccessible, but how did a few people come here, could it be that they got lost? ”

Ye Lao took a step forward, raised his head and arched his hand towards the old man, and asked, "This old brother!" I waited to come to this mountain, but I was looking for someone, I don't know if my brother can know the Taoist Li Shitong of Qingcheng Mountain? ”

The old man was slightly stunned: "What are you looking for this decayed old way to do?" ”

As soon as the three of them heard it, they finally asked the right person this time, this old man must have known Daoist Li Shitong to say so.

So, Ye Lao hurriedly said: "If my brother knows Daochang Li, please introduce us quickly." Don't hide it from my brother, we have been looking for him in this deep mountain and old forest for several days. Just to find out the cause of death of Changle Zhenren, the head of Qingcheng Mountain Taoist Temple. ”

"Oh......? Liu Changle died? There was a look of surprise on the old man's face.

"That's right! Just four days ago in the early morning. ”

The old man sighed: "Alas, it's a pity! However, this can only be blamed for his delusional thoughts, unwilling to let go of worldly fame and fortune, and devote himself to practicing the art of immortality, otherwise he would not have passed away at such an age. ”

When Ding Laosan heard this, he thought that Changle Zhenren was dying of old age, so he paused and said, "Uh...... Old man, Changle Zhenren was killed by someone. ”

As soon as Ding Laosan said this, the old man was shocked: "What?!" Liu Changle's martial arts are strong, who can hurt him? ”

"One move to death, Changle Zhenren did not resist at all, so it should be done by an acquaintance, and the top ten ** is a person on Qingcheng Mountain. However, there are not many masters on this mountain who can kill Changle Zhenren with one move, so we came to Daochang Li to understand the situation. ”

The old man stared thoughtfully into the distance for a while, and then said slowly: "I am the decayed old way you are looking for, you came to find the decay, do you suspect that Liu Changle was killed by me?" ”

"You're Daochang Li!? Doesn't it mean that your legs and feet are a little inconvenient? How can you still climb to the top! Ding Laosan asked in surprise.

The position where the old man stood was on a cliff, and it was not easy for even a young man with sound hands and feet to climb up, let alone an old man with disabled legs and feet who was nearly 100 years old.

The old man smiled slightly: "Hehe, the old man's legs and feet are a little difficult to use, but don't you still have a pair of hands." As he spoke, he climbed a green vine hanging from the cliff with one hand and flew down.

When the old man stood still, everyone noticed that the old man's right leg below the knee was empty, and it was only supported by a wooden stick.

Ye Lao hurriedly said: "You are really Li Shitong and Li Daochang!" Li Daochang's immortal wind and dao bones can never be the perpetrator, if we have any offense just now, please forgive Li Daochang. ”

Li Shitong didn't care, but felt a little strange: "So who are you?" Why is it involved in this murder? ”

"In Xia Ye Feng, this is my junior brother and nephew, I am all under the Xuanzhen faction, this time I came to Qingcheng Mountain, I originally wanted to get something from Changle Zhenren, but I didn't want Changle Zhenren to encounter an unforeseen disaster. We are also worried that his murder is related to what we want, so we will participate in the investigation. ”

"Oh? What do you want from him? ”

Ye Lao thought about it, and felt that there was no need to hide it from this hidden master, so he replied: "A thing handed down by the heads of Qingcheng Mountain in the past dynasties is a remnant of an ancient tomb, this remnant of the tomb is related to the lives of the people in the world, and now the people in the ghost path are also looking for this remnant map, if it falls into their hands, the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”

The corners of Li Shitong's mouth trembled slightly: "So, can you get this picture?" ”

"No, Changle Zhenren originally said that he would give us an answer the next day, but he was killed the next day. What we are most worried about now is that the remnant image may have fallen into the hands of the people in the ghost path. ”

"Hehe, in the dark, it's all days, what if they get it, what if they don't get it?"

"The Taoist chief doesn't know." Ye Lao said, and told Li Shitong how the people in the ghost path stole the Xuanming Divine Stone from the Qianling Tomb, how the Xuanming Divine Stone caused the Wenchuan earthquake, and the matter about the Fuxi Ancient Tomb and the Nine Netherworld Kings.

After listening to what Ye Lao said, Li Shitong was shocked: "The Xuanming Divine Stone has actually fallen into the hands of the people in the ghost path!?" No wonder I feel that this earthquake is a little strange, tomorrow and tomorrow are no omen, but the atmosphere has changed greatly, I have been puzzled, it turns out that these ghosts are making trouble! ”
