Fourth, the real and false monkey king
"Dada, da......"
There were a lot of pedestrians on the road, and most of the businesses on both sides were not closed, but Duan Pingsi still felt a chill down his spine, and the sound of unhurried footsteps rang in his ears, like a ghost in the middle of the night.
"What the hell is this?" Duan Pingsi snorted in a low voice, "Science can't explain it at all. He glanced back, making sure there was nothing behind him and the footsteps had stopped.
"Da! Dada! ”
The moment he turned his head, the sound of evil footsteps immediately sounded again, as if someone was playing a big joke with him, but the joke was too terrible.
"Who is the sacred, who dares to tease me?" Duan Pingsi mustered up the courage to roar behind him, hoping to use the momentum of the sound to scare the other party and make it stop coming over.
"Hahaha! Hahaha! A moment later, there was a strange sound of laughter in the air, and it looked so old that it sounded like that of a centenarian.
"Oh my God!" Duan Pingsi couldn't help but exclaim, "Are you a human or a ghost, how can you still laugh?" He glanced around and saw that the streets were empty, and the shops on both sides of the street had suddenly closed.
"That's not right!" Duan Pingsi's scalp tingled, "There were so many people just now, why is there no one all of a sudden?" Could it be a youkai? The more he thought about it, the more scared he became, and at the same time remembered the scene of monsters in "Journey to the West".
"Hahaha!" The old voice actually spoke, "I didn't expect you to be a coward, it's really insulting the Duan family!" ”
"Who are you? How do you know my surname is Duan? ”
Duan Pingsi turned around three times, but he didn't see anything, his eyes became blurry, and the surrounding scene was much darker, like the feeling of dreaming at night, the world had no color.
"Hahaha!" The "old man" laughed even louder, "I also know that your name is Duan Pingsi, because I have been with you for a long time!" ”
"What?" Duan Pingsi couldn't be afraid anymore, he felt that this matter was really incredible, so he asked loudly, "Who are you?" Why are you tracking me? ”
"Don't be so fierce, kid, I'm just joking with you." The voice seemed to say aggrievedly, "I haven't talked to anyone for many years, and when I open my mouth, I still attract people!" ”
"Are you a ghost?" Duan Pingsi still couldn't help but ask him, "Why can't I see you?" ”
"What the hell is in this world, it's all people who are doing it!" The voice said, "As for my identity, I'm telling you that I'm afraid you won't believe it." ”
"Tell me about it, maybe I'll believe it." Duan Pingsi thought to himself that since he was not a ghost, it would be much easier to do, and it was always good to find out the identity of the other party first.
"Okay, I'm not afraid to tell you, my name is Duan Siping!" The voice said.
"Don't try to frame me, my name is Duan Pingsi!"
Duan Ping thought to himself, this is playing with me about the real and fake Monkey King, although this person may not be a ghost, but he is definitely a big liar, probably trying to cheat something from me.
"Haha! I'm just going to say you're not going to believe me, are you? The voice smiled again, "But you should know about the Dali Kingdom founded by our Duan clan, right?" ”
"Of course I do!" Duan Pingsi replied.
"Then do you know who the founding emperor of Dali is?" The voice asked again.
"I haven't learned it in this history textbook, but I know other emperors of Dali, like Duan Zhengming, Duan Zhengchun, Duan Zhengxing, Duan Yu!"
These are all from Duan Pingsi's views of martial arts novels and TV series, he has liked to read martial arts novels since he was a child, and he has a lot of treasures about the characters and stories in them.
"Haha! Fortunately, you have read the family tree, so it will not be difficult for me to explain. I am the ancestor of these children you are talking about, and of course I am also your ancestor. ”
"I'll go, the more I talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes!" Duan Pingsi scolded.
Hearing that the man actually called Duan Zhengchun and Duan Zhengming and others "children", and claimed to be the ancestors of the Duan family, Duan Ping thought about whether this person was a madman.
"Child, let me tell you the truth, I am Duan Siping, the founding emperor of Dali, believe it or not." The man said.
"What are you kidding?" Duan Pingsi blurted out and scolded, "You just continue to make it up, I'm still the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty!" ”
Duan Pingsi thought to himself that he had really met a freak today, and said that he was not a ghost, and I think it was more difficult than a ghost, but I didn't know what his intentions were, and it was better to figure it out, so as not to pester myself every day.
"Really, I never lie!" The man seemed to speak in a suppressed voice, posing as a majestic image of the emperor speaking in the TV series.
"Even if what you say is true." Duan Pingsi asked, "Then you should have been dead for a long time, since you are not a ghost or something, why do you still appear here?" ”
"It's a long story, I don't know what's going on, I was supposed to die, but I was suddenly brought here, it's been more than a thousand years, and today is the first time I've spoken to someone."
The man continued: "For more than a thousand years, time has passed too slowly, and I seem to be the same as before, except for a few more gray hairs, I have not changed at all. I was so lonely, and I didn't dare to talk to the children, for fear of scaring them, so I had to stay by their side silently, but it was too cruel, I watched them be born, I watched them grow up, I watched them grow old, and finally buried in the ground. ”
"Alas!" The man sighed, "Then I don't wait for the children, I wander around alone, like a lonely ghost, but I'm not a ghost, I'm a big living person!" ”
The man said very sincerely, with a trace of sadness in his words, Duan Pingsi didn't believe it originally, but now he also believed his words a little.
"Then why can't I see you, and did you make the smoke from last night?" Duan Pingsi continued to ask.
"Speaking of which, we should be in two different worlds, the world I live in is small, but it can travel around with my mind, which is why I can come here from Dali, of course, I have been to many other places, I have even learned the dialects of various places, but I am not very proficient without speaking to people."
According to the man's description, Duan Pingsi felt that the place where he was located was like a bubble of time, containing a small space, where the speed of light became very slow, so that time became very long, and people were probably immortal in such a world.
"As for the smoke, hehe," the man smiled smugly, "that's my proud baby, the result of more than a thousand years of cultivation, but it's useless except for being scared." ”
"Cultivation?" Duan Pingsi felt incredible, "Is there really a way to cultivate in this world?" "Just like the immortal cultivators in fantasy novels, I'm afraid this is impossible.
"No, no, no!" I only heard the man say again, "This cultivation is not another cultivation, and immortal cultivation cannot exist, I just form smoke by moving some string-like things." ”
"Oooh! I see! But you're not much different from cultivating immortals......"
Duan Pingsi finally figured out something, this man who claimed to be the founding emperor of Dali was called Duan Siping, who had fallen into a small space world more than a thousand years ago, where time passed slowly, causing him to live forever, and he would pluck some string-like things to control the smoke in the real world......
