Chapter 143: Changbai Mountain Snow Ape
In a trance, I felt a tall figure carrying me on my shoulders and leading me in a certain direction, and he squeaked on the snow.
"I'm going to find Xiaoxue." Tired and hungry, I whispered to the man who was carrying me.
But the man ignored me. As if I hadn't heard, I tried to open my eyes, and my hair stood on end, for I saw that the man's body was covered with white hair, and his feet were as big as a fan.
I was too frightened to move, I could only see his back, he was much taller than a human, but his hair was surprisingly soft and warm, and I suddenly remembered the legend on the snowy mountain, this is a snow ape. Or a snowman?
I don't have any strength now, I can't be his opponent at all. Is he going to eat me?
But I still have a lot of things to do, I haven't found where the black fox took Xiaoxue, I just met my grandfather, the grandfather and grandson haven't sat together to talk about it, and An Xiaowu disappeared in the fox demon tomb and I don't know if he lives or dies. At this time, Dasha, Song Gang and Ji Zizheng must be looking for me.
I didn't even have time to say goodbye to my master and mother.
I suddenly found myself helpless, I was difficult to defeat in the face of the ordinary disciples of the Yao family, I was even more insignificant in the face of Yu Xuanliang's army, and when the black fox snatched Xiaoxue from my arms, I suddenly felt that I was useless.
When I was very young, I always wondered what the outside world was like, and whether the children in other villages would be like me, worried about old trees, old wells, and their own deaths.
Later, I followed my master to learn the Tao in the Taiyin Temple in the back mountain, and when I saw that I could make the paper crane fly, there was a moment when I felt that the world would be at my disposal in the future. I can do whatever I want, and I will become the master of this world, so the master who sees my thoughts will persuade me not to think of myself as a god who looks down on all beings.
Now when I think of the master's consolation, I suddenly realize that the master does not want to hurt the little pride and complacency in my heart, he knows that I have a good heart, and knows the suffering I have suffered since I was a child, so he did not hit me, he actually wants to tell me, even if I have learned Taoism. is still one of the many living beings, still as small as dust, just like the thousands of Red Guards blocked him and Kong Decheng in front of the Taoist temple of Taiyin Temple.
Now I finally know that I am just a little Taoist, a little Taoist who does not understand the dangers and unknowns of this world at all.
I suddenly remembered what Hawkeye Yang had said the night he died.
This is a world that you don't know, what you see is just the appearance, you don't know how many people are working hard day and night, waiting for the future to come one day.
I don't know how long it took me to wake up in a daze of hunger and cold, and I was lying in an open-air cave, and the light was shining from the top of the cave, and I saw a burning fire not far from me, and a cauldron was erected on top of it.
On the back side of the cauldron, I could faintly see half a huge figure, sitting cross-legged and looking like a human being.
Suddenly, the figure craned its head to look at me, and I immediately closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep.
I could feel him getting up at this point, a slight trembling sound, and his footsteps getting closer.
I was hesitating whether to get up and run, or to use the remaining Dao Qi in my body to kill it with one blow, but I suddenly felt a faintly powerful and terrifying aura on its body, with a slight hint of violence, I hesitated, I knew that if I made a move, I would definitely die.
I opened my eyelids slightly, and glanced at the figure through the crack, and I almost screamed in fright, because I saw a red, terrible face, it was a huge snow ape!
The snow ape's face was only a stone's throw away from my face, its eyes glowed light blue, I was so scared that I didn't dare to move, I don't know if it noticed that I woke up, my heart was beating fast, if it was a master of cultivation, it would know at a glance that I was awake, but it was just an ape, could it see it?
The snow ape picked me up and squeaked, and a fishy smell came to my face, but I still didn't dare to move.
I felt the snow ape carry me to the cauldron of the fire, and there was a crackling sound of branches below, and suddenly, the snow ape grabbed me by the collar and began to take it off!
Damn?! Is this going to put me in a pot and boil?
I tightened my pants and struggled, and I punched the snow ape in the head, and the snow ape didn't seem surprised that I woke up, and didn't care about my attacks, and continued to undress me. Although I had no strength at this time, there was a trace of Dao Qi attached to my fist, and even if a cow was beaten by me, I couldn't get up, but this snow ape didn't have anything to do at all.
"Let go of me!" I yelled, and then punched the ape twice in the head.
The snow ape seemed a little annoyed by my attitude, and it opened its mouth to roar as it grabbed the hem of my coat, and I saw that it had two huge fangs and a neat row of fangs on its upper and lower jaws, and that it could swallow my head in a little further direction.
I looked at it dumbfounded, and it looked at me stunned.
Sou!
I suddenly raised my hands, shrunk from my coat, rolled around on the ground, and then rushed straight out of the cave, and the snow ape behind me let out a monkey cry and made a return motion to me, and I stepped on the air before I could react. I then knew why the wind was so loud outside the cave, it turned out that the snow ape's hole was on the top of a snowy peak, and I fell straight from the top and planted myself in the deep snow.
When I woke up again in a daze, I felt that my whole body was hot, and there was a cooing sound around me, which I often heard when I was a child, the same wonderful sound when my mother stewed fish for me to eat.
I saw my clothes stripped and thrown on the side of the cave, while the snow ape was adding fire to the cauldron underneath. Estimate the garbage.
I was still boiled by it after all!
I screamed and tried to climb out of the cauldron, but the snow ape, who was collecting firewood, looked at me with a mouthful, and then picked up a stick the thickness of my arm and pestled me into the pot.
I had to roll over and crawl out from the other side of the cauldron, and I didn't have much fear at this point, only felt humiliated.
I suddenly felt like a crab.
The snow ape was obviously very patient, I don't know how an ape could have so much patience, and it pestled me in from the other side.
"What do you want?" I stood in the cauldron and looked at the condescending snow ape and asked angrily.
"Squeak." Snow Ape replied only with one sentence.
"Can you understand what I'm saying?" I asked again.
"Squeak."
"So, you understand me?" I asked.
"Squeak."
"Well, now I'll crawl out, don't pestle me with a stick!" I pointed to the snow ape to warn it.
This time, instead of speaking, the snow ape lowered his head and stirred up the branches under the cauldron, and I tried to climb out of the pot, because the water in the pot was going to boil, and if I didn't go out, I would be really cooked. The snow ape looked up at me, pulled out a thick, sparkled trunk from the bottom of the pot and was about to pestle me, and I immediately retracted into the pot.
I was so angry that I wanted to curse, so I leaned on the edge of the cauldron and said, "I've heard of snow apes eating people, but I haven't heard of snow apes cooking people, you either let me go or eat me raw!" Just ask if you dare! ”
The snow ape, who was burning the fire, suddenly raised his head, looked at me with a different kind of glint in his eyes, he nodded, bared his white teeth, and then reached out and lifted me out.
"Don't, don't, just kidding, big brother." As I spoke, I pushed the snow ape's head to the side, but the snow ape opened its mouth and was about to bite my thigh, so I hurriedly shouted, "Brother ape! ”
When the ape heard my cry, the mouth that had been biting my thigh suddenly stopped, and it seemed to react greatly to the title "Brother Ape", and he threw me on a tattered animal skin, and then brought me a large animal skin from the side to help me dry the water.
I cried, I am a big man, how can I be so at the mercy of others, let alone that it is not human at all.
The snow ape wiped me up, then spread out the sheets and covered me all underneath, and I didn't understand what it was going to do, so I cried loudly, but after a while it didn't make any more movement, and there was no sound.
This is one of the snowy peaks of Changbai Mountain, the mountain is extremely cold, it will cover me with animal skins to protect me from the cold?
I carefully lifted the hide and looked outside, and the snow ape was gone!
And at my feet, there are a few steaming snow ginseng, this kind of snow ginseng I once saw in my grandfather's pharmacy, he put the snow ginseng in the pharmacy medicine cabinet on the top layer, when I was sick, my grandfather would cut a small piece of snow ginseng and stew it in the medicine for a while and then let me drink it, every time I drank it I felt hot all over, as if it was on fire.
Snow ginseng is also called red yang ginseng, jade ginseng, herbaceous plants, similar to cordyceps, only in the fertile soil of the alpine region can grow out, set alpine snow water to moisturize, suck the essence of the sun and the moon, take snow ginseng can nourish yin and yang, prolong life, the most important thing is that it can replenish qi, in the past, when the master cultivated with the master, the master would boil some ginseng soup for me to drink every time, saying that it was to replenish qi, but we can't buy real snow ginseng in the town, we can only use ordinary mountain ginseng instead.
As one of the commonly used Chinese medicinal materials now, the price of snow ginseng is not too expensive, and the average family can afford it, but the snow ginseng is not big, usually the part that can be eaten is the size of the thumb, and the current snow ginseng is as big as a lotus root, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a real thing, such a big snow ginseng, this snow ape directly boiled it for me to eat, aren't you afraid that I will die?
I haven't eaten for a few days now, I'm so hungry that I have to pick up the snow ginseng and devour it, the taste of the snow ginseng is very sweet, different from other ginseng species, and now I am very hungry, so a few snow ginseng were quickly swept away by me.
Not long after eating the snow ginseng, I felt that my whole body was starting to get hot, so I hurriedly ran to the fire and put my clothes on.
At this time, out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a smooth gap in the cave wall next to me, and I walked forward suspiciously, and gently pushed it, only to realize that it was actually a stone door.
