The stone chamber is square, with a ceiling about five meters high, and is inlaid with a basin-sized fluorite, which illuminates the entire stone chamber very brightly. The entire stone room is spotless, and it seems that it is often cleaned.

The most striking thing is the round stove in the middle of the stone chamber that is more than one meter high, the furnace is golden and full of various patterns, including animals and flowers, and some strange runes, the lower part of the furnace is thinner, as if embedded in the ground, and the stove is covered with a lid, which is also covered with runes, and looks very simple. What's even stranger is that from a few meters away, you can feel the terrifying heat coming from the stove.

The old monkey was standing not far behind the stove in the direction of the stove at the moment, with his back to Ma Yun motionless. Bypassing the stove and coming to the old monkey, Ma Yun was really startled by what he saw: he saw a skeleton as white as jade sitting on a black cushion, and a dark gray bracelet on his left wrist. The old monkey looked at the skeleton, and two lines of tears flowed from his empty eyes.

Ma Yun gasped when he saw the skeleton. "Amitofu, good, good!" I didn't expect to see the traces of human beings for the first time, and it turned out to be a skeleton, and his depressed heart can be imagined. There seems to be a painting hanging on the stone wall behind the skeleton, but unfortunately no matter how Ma Yun looks at it, he can only see a vague piece.

On one side of the stone room was a small square table and two small chairs, which should be made of some kind of wood. To his delight, there was a short sword on the table, with a black hilt, and the sword holster seemed to be made of some kind of animal skin, which looked very rudimentary. These days, the most inconvenient thing for him is the lack of an iron weapon in his hand, and he is very happy to see the short sword. I wanted to pick up the short sword and take a look, but after thinking that maybe it was the owner's thing, I suppressed my thoughts again.

In addition, next to the short sword was a three-inch-tall cyan vial, the mouth of which was plugged with a purple stopper, and there was supposed to be something inside. On the other side of the stone room was a closed red door, and Ma Yun curiously pushed the door, but he didn't push it at all.

The old monkey who had been standing there finally moved, slowly walked to the small table, picked up the cyan vial, poured out a yellow pill the size of a grain of rice from it, and threw it into his mouth. After that, the old monkey actually closed his eyes, made a meditation posture similar to that of a human, and remained motionless again.

Ma Yun estimated that the old monkey was absorbing the medicinal effect of the yellow pill, so he didn't bother it, and carefully explored around the stone room, hoping to find something. I was disappointed, and after a careful search twice, I still found nothing. The red door, Ma Yun tried his best to still not move, but he was tired and panting, imagine that he once ran for several hours with a big stone of more than 200 catties without feeling tired, and on the way to the road, he also used more than 100 catties of wooden stakes to exercise, and now he has at least 500 catties of strength under all his strength, but he can't let the door move a little.

Ma Yun bowed to the skeleton, out of respect for the deceased and his affection for being human. The short sword still didn't move, and when the old monkey woke up, he was making a decision.

Finally, he focused his attention on the stove in the center of the stone chamber. At a distance of about a meter from the stove, his skin seemed to be scorched, and he dragged a thin piece of grass from his grass skirt and threw it towards the stove, but before he could touch the stove, it caught fire.

"I'm rubbing, this stove is too perverted, it catches fire when you touch it, and it seems that it's impossible to open the lid to see inside. ”

After all the exploration was over, the old monkey was still meditating, Ma Yun was bored, walked to the entrance of the stone room, and began to explore how the old monkey had just passed through the stone wall. The experience of these days, although it is also considered mysterious, a two-meter-tall monkey and a ten-meter-long snake, which are barely acceptable, but so far there are three things that make him realize that the world he is currently in is not only mysterious, but even somewhat mysterious.

The first thing is the change in his appearance: not only has he changed, but he is much younger, that is, seventeen or eighteen years old, which can only be explained by crossing over or being reborn.

The second thing is the gourd, when I first found the gourd, it took a lot of effort to break the dried gourd vine. Later, the gourd was inadvertently thrown into the fire by the monkeys, and it was roasted for a long time, and after taking it out, it was unscathed, and there was no difference in the slightest, and even the temperature did not rise. Only then did he realize that the gourd could never exist in the world he originally lived in.

The third thing is the old monkey's technique of piercing through the wall, which is obviously a stone wall, but he actually passed through, and then the stone wall disappeared in front of him, which once again subverted his concept.

The first thing can be explained by rebirth, the second thing can barely be explained by the special material, but this third thing can only be explained by spells.

Combining these three things, Ma Yun finally realized that those ancient legends of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the Great War of the Gods, demons and monsters, and rare treasures may not be groundless, and may really exist in a certain world;

What happened next confirmed his thoughts again, the old monkey who was meditating woke up, but the old monkey, which had been languishing and almost lifeless, completely changed its appearance, its boring fur became smooth and shiny, its empty eyes became bright, and the wrinkles on its face disappeared, and it became as young and strong as the monkey king, full of vitality, and could no longer be called by the old monkey.

"You're... You are... Old monkey?" the monkey nodded, but didn't seem very happy.

What kind of pill is that, it actually has the effect of rejuvenation! Ma Yun fell into a deep shock. "There's something really interesting about this world!" he looked at the look of understanding and determination as he recovered from the shock.

Then I watched the white monkey pour the cyan vial back and forth, but not a single pill was poured out, revealing a sad look. Then he handed the cyan vial to Ma Yun, pointed to his mouth again, and roared twice. Ma Yun seems to understand the monkey's intentions: this white monkey doesn't know how long he has lived, and whenever his life is approaching, he can take one of those pills and rejuvenate himself. It's just that the number of pills is limited after all, and this one should be the last one, and when the life span is approaching again, it will probably not be able to escape, and the white monkey is sad.

This white monkey led him here, probably because he found out that he was also a human and trustworthy, and maybe he could give him the same elixir that could rejuvenate him like that skeleton. It's just that I'm afraid I'm going to be disappointed this time, that kind of magical elixir, Ma Yun didn't say that he made it, he had never heard of it, and it was the first time he saw it.

Ma Yun shook his head, "I'm sorry, I won't do this medicine." But if I have the chance, I will make you the same medicine!" the white monkey seemed to understand him, and let out a low roar twice, turned to the small table, and picked up the short sword and handed it to him. "Is this for me?" the white monkey nodded.

Ma Yun happily pulled out the short sword, and to his disappointment, the short sword was dim, and there were a few spots scattered on it. "It's better than nothing, after all, it's an iron tool, and it's still okay to use it to cut things. He put the dagger back in his holster and pinned it to the skirt of grass around his waist. The white monkey bowed to the skeleton again and made a gesture to him to leave.

After leaving the stone room, Ma Yun glanced back, and the stone room was indeed gone, leaving only a stone wall. The way back is the way when they came, and now the white monkey is young again, walking faster than several times, and soon came to the entrance when he came, and the entrance that originally disappeared was revealed when Ma Yun and they were about to arrive, which was really mysterious and abnormal. horse

By the time the clouds stepped out of the cave, the sky was already a little dark. In the morning, the old monkey moved slowly, and it took four or five hours to get here, but now as soon as it returned to the ground, it immediately let out a long howl, and then led Ma Yun to run quickly towards the giant tree. It took less than an hour to return to the giant tree, and the monkeys were exclaimed when they saw the old monkey who had changed its appearance, and the monkey king was stunned at first when he saw the white monkey, and then he actually came to hug him, and it seemed that the monkey king must know some secrets of the white monkey.

In the days that followed, Mr. Ma began his life of exploration again, wandering outside for days before returning to the monkeys for a good time.

The seemingly clumsy short sword, after Ma Yun used it once, immediately concluded that the short sword was definitely a magic weapon. A small tree with a thick arm fell down at the sound of a slight chop, and it was a piece of cake to chop down the tree; on one occasion, he accidentally dropped his short sword on a stone, but no stone entered, leaving only the hilt outside, and he pulled it out with a slight pull; he took out a coin, and the little sword was cut in half with a single stroke, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the iron was sharpened like clay. At this time, Ma Yun looked at the beast skin sword sleeve even more differently, such a sharp short sword could not destroy the animal skin in the slightest, and only the animal skin could wrap the sharp spirit of the short sword.

One day, in a valley not far from the dense forest, Ma Yun accidentally saw several strange stones protruding from the ground. The stones had a black metallic sheen, and the short sword made a metallic sound when struck. He judged that these stones should be iron ore or something, and as long as they were melted, they could be made into iron tools, which were perfect for making weapons and tools for monkeys. Returning to the monkey group, he described the mining to the monkey king and the white monkeys, and asked them to send some strong monkeys to carry the iron ore, and it was in vain that he lived with the monkeys for a long time, and the monkey king quickly understood what he meant, and sent a team of strong monkeys.

In front of the sharpness of the short sword, the iron ore was divided into the size of thirty-four pounds and carried back by the monkeys. Ma Yun also prepared a flat stone platform and made a stone hammer, but unfortunately put the iron ore on the fire and burned it for a long time, except for turning red, it did not melt at all, nor did it become soft, it turned out that the temperature of the branch flame was not high enough, which was a bit unexpected to him.

After a few thoughts, Ma Yun thought of the furnace in the underground stone room, and the temperature of the outer wall of the furnace did not know if it could melt iron ore. After discussing with the white monkey, he went to the underground stone chamber again, and pushed a piece of iron ore cut into small pieces with a stone stick to the edge of the furnace and stuck to the wall of the furnace, and before long, the small piece of iron ore melted into a piece of black molten iron and spread it on the ground.

Ma Yun was overjoyed, but how to collect molten iron became another problem, and after thinking about it, he made an experiment. Because the middle of the furnace is thick and thin, there is a space of more than ten centimeters below, and an ore is placed there and not melted, so that the ore can be used to make a mold, placed underneath and then melted from the middle of the furnace wall.

In the next ten days, Ma Yun and the old monkey personally moved the ore batch by batch to the stone room out of the secrecy of the underground stone room, prepared a stone trough of water for cooling, made a mold in the shape of a stick and a big knife, and officially began to make iron. Everything was well prepared, the iron-making process was very smooth, the mold was filled with molten iron, then taken away and cooled, and the molded contents were taken out.

Ma Yun didn't know how to deal with the iron rod, so he just cooled it down and put it aside after it was formed, and the big knife was beaten while it was hot, and the blade was simply tempered and then cooled. In a few days, Ma Yun exhausted the ore, and made a total of eighteen black iron rods and eight broadswords.

The iron rod is about 1.5 meters long and 4 centimeters thick. Broadswords are mainly used to chop trees, and they are made relatively wide. When the iron rod and the broadsword appeared in the monkey group, the monkey group boiled again. Ma Yun handed over the equipment to the Monkey King, and as for how to distribute and use it, he didn't care.

All these days, he had one thing on his mind: once the monkeys were settled, it was time to get out of here. He didn't know what the road ahead looked like, but the world must be wonderful, and he wanted to see it!
