Mo Mingzhi was addicted to the Soul Monkey Transformation Method, and before he knew it, fifteen or sixteen days had passed, and when he saw that the old man had not returned, he couldn't help but wonder, why didn't the old man come back?

There won't be an accident!

Mo Mingming thought of this, and became worried again.

He remembered the first time he saw the old man: he was seriously injured, and several people were chasing him behind, so he was very uneasy and decided to go down the mountain to find the old man.

Then, he went back to his room, intending to change his clothes.

Suddenly, he found himself in the corner of the room, and he couldn't help but say, "Why did Grandpa install a spiritual seat in my room?" No wonder my strange illness healed so quickly!"

Because Mo Mingzhi didn't know words, and the old devil wrote the seal script, so Mo Mingzhi didn't know the seal book, so he regarded the spiritual position set by the old devil as a god.

For more than ten days, Mo Mingming was obsessed with practicing the Soul Monkey Transformation Method, getting up early in the morning and going to bed in the dark until late at night, so he didn't notice that there was such a small spirit card in his room, and he didn't find out until today.

He thought to himself: Grandpa is so good to me, I should go to him.

Mo Mingming changed his clothes and closed the door.

Shake the Soul Monkey Transformation Method, and walk a path from the cliff straight down the Nine Secluded Peaks.

Although Mo Mingzhi had not learned any light skills, after taking He Shou Wu for thousands of years, he was full of vitality and as light as smoke.

In addition, this Soul Monkey Transformation method includes a high level of ease, so that as long as a slight protrusion or a small tree grows from the wall, it can take refuge on a cliff of thousands of feet.

What's more, the road he walked down from the top of the mountain was the same way that the old demon reached the top two years ago.

Although it was steep, the old demon was still able to climb up and down.

At this time, Mo's wise cultivation was many times higher than that of the old monster, as if he had stepped on it.

So he climbed down a cliff of several thousand feet in the blink of an eye.

As soon as I reached the top of the mountain, I saw strange-shaped stones everywhere and thorns everywhere.

He walked through a field of strange stones and thorns, and in a moment he came to a summit forest that blocked the sun.

Ordinary people break into this forest, which stretches for dozens of miles, and cannot get out.

But Mo Mingzhi has a good memory.

He vaguely remembered the scene when his grandfather took him through the woods two years ago.

Mo Mingming has been hunting with his grandfather since he was a child, and he knows how not to get lost in the forest.

First, he climbed to the top of a large tree and kept his bearings.

Then, he made markers along the way so as not to get lost and return.

In fact, Mo Wise doesn't even need to make these symbols and codes.

He just needs to know which way to go, and with the movement of a monkey, he can walk through the forest in a line from the woods.

In a moment, he will be able to walk through the forest.

But he didn't understand this, so he did as his grandfather had taught him, and went on his own.

Because he had a little hope that he could see his grandfather in this wood, or meet some people, so that he could inquire about his whereabouts.

But in this forest, apart from some rabbits and pheasants, there are not even people.

He walked for an unknown amount of time, but finally came out of the forest and came to a fork in the road.

He looked around and saw no one.

He hesitated, not knowing which way to go.

He listened intently for a while, then decided to take a path to the left.

Because, with that deep, strange cultivation in the depths of his heart, he heard a voice ten miles away, coming from the road to his left.

He thought: Since someone has spoken, it means that someone lives on the left side of the road, so he can ask someone about the whereabouts of the old man.

Sure enough, he walked more than ten miles of the path, turned a small intersection, it was a north-south road leading to the main road, next to a tall old banyan tree, there was a grass hut, there were people selling tea and snacks.

Some passing merchants, hawkers, and travelers are drinking tea, eating steamed buns, or resting and talking under trees.

Mo Mingming's wise appearance immediately attracted people's attention and surprise.

First of all, Mo Ming's clothes look weird.

Because the clothes Mo Mingming wore two years ago were already in tatters, and now he was wearing old strangely shaped short-cut clothes, these clothes, the texture was very expensive, and ordinary peasants and people in the mountains simply could not have such a precious material.

Moreover, this set of clothes, which did not look like Taoism or literati, became non-Confucian and non-Taoist clothes.

Secondly, Mo Mingming is already fifteen or sixteen years old.

In ancient times, when a person reached the age of sixteen, he was an adult, the so-called weak crown.

His face was as delicate as a child's, white and red, and his big black and white eyes were very bright, like two sparkling black pearls.

His eyes reveal the innocence of a group of children.

Thirdly, it was known that the path led to a desolate place, that there were no houses within a hundred miles, and that no one came out of the path except woodcutters and hunters.

But Ink wisely dressed not at all like a woodcutter or a hunter's child.

People were secretly surprised: what kind of child is this?

How did you get out of this desolate road?

Xiao Minghua, who climbed to the banyan tree to rest, also looked at him strangely.

Mo Mingming didn't know that others were so surprised to notice him, so he walked to the front of the tea seller and asked, "Excuse me, uncle, have you seen my old grandfather?"

The tea seller smiled and said, "Little brother, there are always people coming here, and some people are coming." I don't know who your grandfather is. ”

"My grandfather has white eyebrows, a white beard, and wears a long blue shirt. ”

The tea seller shook his head and said, "Little brother, I haven't seen such an old person today." ”

"Oh! I didn't mean today, uncle, but have you seen it before?"

"Before, little brother, when did you lose your grandfather?"

"Half a month ago. ”

The tea merchant said thoughtfully: "Half a month? I don't think I've seen an old man like this in half a month!"

A merchant said like a passer-by, "Little brother, I'm afraid that your grandfather went to a relative's house, have you gone to a relative's house to ask?"

Mo Mingming was stunned and didn't know what to say.

Did the old man really go to buy rice, and really go to live with relatives and friends?

However, I have never heard grandpa say that he has relatives and friends nearby, where do I go to find him?

And how do you know who is grandpa's relative?

Mo Mingming shook his head.

The merchant thought that he did not ask, so he said, "Little brother, go to the house of relatives and friends, and don't run around." ”

Mo Zhizhi said: "I, I ......"

The tree screamed and smiled: "You, you, what are you?"

"I, I don't know where my grandfather's friends live, and I don't know what kind of friends he has. ”

"Didn't your grandfather tell you?" he asked.

"Nope. ”

"Have you never seen a friend or relative come to your house?"

"Nope. ”

"Didn't your grandfather have any relatives or friends?"

"I don't know. ”

Although Mo Mingming was telling the truth, everyone was shocked.

Is this cute boy an idiot?

No wonder he dresses not in line with his character!

Xiao Xiaohua jumped down from the tree, looked Mo Mingming up and down, and asked, "You don't know anything, do you know what your name is?"

"I don't have a name. ”

Hearing this, everyone laughed and became more and more convinced that he was an idiot.

Some people stood up sadly: "It's a pity that such a good-looking child is an idiot." ”

Someone said kindly: "Little brother, go home quickly, don't run around!"

Mo Zhizhi said: "I didn't find the old man, how can I go back?"

Xiao Xiaohua teased Mo Mingming and said, "No name, look, is your grandfather here?"

Mo Mingzhi hurriedly looked back, where is there anyone? Why can't you see it?"

Xiao Yanhua grinned: "Your grandfather is hiding, he is hiding in the woods, you go find him!"

Mo Mingming also thought about it for a while, he remembered that the old man asked him to persuade people not to fight, and he hid, so he quickly ran into the woods, and said, "Grandpa, don't hide, I deliberately ran out to find you." ”

When people saw this, they burst into laughter.

Xiao Zhao saw Mo Mingming's running, but he was surprised in his heart, and said secretly: "Don't underestimate this fool, but there are two miles!"

He wanted to see who Mo Mingming was, so he followed him into the woods.

Mo Mingming shouted in the woods, "Grandpa, where are you?"

The little beggar put the seeds in his mouth, hid them in the woods, and said, "Little fool, here I am!"

Xiao Yaohua thought that he would not come out immediately, but just as he was speaking, he only heard a breeze blowing, and Mo Mingming was already standing behind him, he was taken aback, and thought: This little fool's martial arts skills are great!

Truly do it, as fast as lightning, quietly.

How did Xiao Minghua know that Mo Mingzhi shook out the Soul Monkey Transformation Method.

But Mo Mingming was very strange: "Hey, why are you? Where is my grandfather? Where is he?"

Xiao shouted to see Mo Mingzhi show this martial art, and his heart rose with respect, and he didn't want to make fun of him, so he said, "No name, I don't know!"

"Didn't you say you saw Grandpa?"

"Hey, I lied to you. ”

Mo Mingming's eyes widened: "You lied to me?"

"No name, tell me, why did you lose your grandfather, do you want me to accompany you to your grandfather?"

"Are you going with me?"

"Yes, are you happy?"

"Of course, I'm afraid your parents will find out about you and scold you. ”

"They won't come to me, they won't come to scold me!"

"Really?"

"Hey, why do you say so much? Do you want me to accompany you to find it?"

"Yes, yes!"

"In that case, let's sit down and talk. Do you really not have a name?"

"Yes, my surname is Mo, and my name is Wise. ”

Xiao Yaohua changed a pair of crystal smart eyes and stared at Mo Mingming for a while, he saw that Mo Mingming did not deceive himself, with a sincere expression on his face, and thought: Is this person an idiot?

Or is he really nameless?

But looking at his martial arts and the reaction just now, not like a person with dementia, is he too honest? Well, I want to see if he is honest.

The little beggar was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and although he was ragged and had a dirty and sloppy face, there was a clever look in the corners of his eyes, and he even had a mouthful of white teeth.

Because of his cleverness, he came out and ventured into the world at a very young age.

Xiao Xiaohua thought for a while and asked Mo Mingming, "When will your grandfather come out?"

"He's been out for half a month. ”

"Didn't he tell you where he was when he came out?"

"Nope. ”

"Oh, where are you going to find him?"

"I'm going to the city to find him. ”

"How do you know your grandfather is in town?"

"Because he came out to buy rice!"

"Hey, you fool, if your grandfather went to buy rice, how could you ask the tea merchant?"

"I wonder if grandpa is gone!"

"Then your grandfather must not have been here!"

Mo Mingzhi shook his head: "I think, the uncle who sells tea may not have paid attention to grandpa, people come and go every day, and they all come and see, I'm afraid I don't remember." ”

When Xiao Yehua heard it, he couldn't help but say secretly: Look at this almost stupid person is not stupid at all, let alone demented, just honest!

"We've been talking for so long," he said. Why don't you ask me what my name is?"

"Yes, yes, what's your name?"

Xiao Xiaohua tried to say his name, but his eyes rolled and he said, "I don't know." ”

Mo Mingming was stunned: "You don't know what your name is?"

"My name is 'No' and my name is 'Know'!"

Mo Mingming smiled: "Then you don't know if you call it, this name is the most interesting." ”

"Your name is interesting, isn't it?"

"Yes, we all have interesting names. Can we be brothers?"

"I'm a beggar. Aren't you afraid that people will laugh at you?"

"Oh, why do people laugh at us? And, with me, you don't have to beg. ”

"Oh, yes? Do you have any money in your family? Can you support me?"

"No, my family is poor, but I can hunt and catch rabbits, eagles, and foxes to sell in the town, so I don't have to ask for food!"

"Are you a hunter's child?" but how can a hunter's family be so well dressed? I don't believe it. Then he asked, "If we don't become brothers, you ignore me, do you?"

"No, no, as long as we're together, we'll have something to eat. How about we have some money on us?"

"Aren't we together?"

"This!"

Mo Mingming really didn't know how to answer Xiao Xiaohua's tricky and strange question, he scratched his head, "But, I don't have that much money for you!"

"Even if you give me a lot of money, I'll spend it. In the end, I had to ask someone for food. ”

"Okay, I'll teach you how to hunt, so you don't have to beg for food!"

"Silly brother, how can you be so good to me?"

"My grandfather taught me that I should be sincere in helping others!"

Xiao Yaohua seemed to be moved and said, "Well, then we will be brothers, and in the future we will share good and bad things, and no one will be unfaithful." I will never lose faith. So they swore to heaven and earth in the woods.

Xiao Yuhua said: "Nameless stupid brother, let's go to the store now to find your grandfather!"

"Silly brother, why do you call me silly brother?"

Xiao Xiaohua said coquettishly: "I, I like to call you a stupid brother!"

Mo Mingming felt that the newly married brother was a bit like a girl, but he was honest and kind, and he didn't think much about it.

He thought: he is a brother, so he must take care of his brother, so he said, "Well, you can call it whatever you like." ”

"Aren't you angry?"

"Silly brother, how can I be angry with you?"

"It's okay! Let's go. It's more than thirty miles from here to town. Silly brother, do you have any silver with you?"

"I don't have any money with me. ”

"Hey, without the money, we will have to pay for a cup of tea if we don't eat in the city!"

"Now, brother, may I go into the city and catch some beasts?"

"Well, I've got some silver coins on me, enough for us to eat. ”

Mo Mingming was stunned: "Brother, how can you have silver?"

"A kind old lady," said the little screamer, winking, "and gave it to me when she saw me so pitiful." ”

"Brother, you can't take any other man's money. ”

Xiao Xiaohua thought to himself: You stupid, you have no money, you go to the city to drink the northwest wind?

Mo Mingming asked again: "Brother, where does the kind old lady live?"

"Why do you ask this?"

"When we have the money, we will give it back to her. We cannot take his money for nothing. ”

It's strange to scream, it seems that my stupid brother is an honest man who is not greedy!

"I met her on the road," he said.

"Who knows where she lives?"

"Brother, you should ask, so that you can return the money to her. ”

"Silly brother, the old lady is very rich, and she doesn't care about her servants and maids. Now, let's go find your grandfather. ”

Seeing him say this, Mo Mingzhi had no choice but to go with him to the town to find the old man.

When they came to the county seat, they first inquired about the Midianians, but the owner of Midianite said that there was no such old man to buy rice.

He inquired with some people in the town, and they all said that they had never seen such an old man.

Mo Mingming said disappointedly: "It seems that the old man didn't come to this town to buy rice, don't you know if there is rice sold elsewhere?"

Xiao Xiaohua said: "I know that there is also a market selling rice thirty miles southeast of here.

Mo Mingzhi said, "Let's go and ask." ”

"Aren't you hungry, silly brother? You're right, I'm hungry! Let's go to the teahouse and get something to eat. ”

"Teahouse? I heard my grandfather say that the things in the teahouse are very expensive, let's go buy some steamed buns and eat them on the way." ”

Xiao Xiaohua thought for a while and said, "Okay, silly brother, you wait for me here, I'll go buy some steamed buns, don't go." ”

"Why don't we go together, brother?"

"No, if people see you like this, they will extort us for money. ”

Xiaohua ran away.

It didn't take long for Mo Mingming to see a little man come back with a big bag of things, and when he saw it, there were not only buns in the paper bag, but also corned beef and chicken, as expected, right: "Brother, how much silver does this cost?"

"Silly brother, don't ask, we're in a hurry when we're full. ”

When they arrived at the market at dusk, the polder had already dispersed, the rice shops were closed, and a small bluestone street seemed deserted. They had to sleep in a dilapidated temple. The next day, they asked some people in the set, but they also couldn't find out about the whereabouts of the old man. How did Mo Mingzhi know that the old devil came out to buy rice, and he would not buy it in the towns within a hundred miles below the Nine Shadows Peak, and often went to buy it from a hundred miles away. Because the old demon didn't want anyone to know that he lived on the Nine Shadows Peak, of course Mo Mingming couldn't inquire about the whereabouts of the old monster. The two of them ran almost all over the nearby towns and villages for several days, but no one saw such an old man. If it weren't for Xiao Yaohua and Mo Mingming, I'm afraid Mo Mingming wouldn't even be able to eat. Even if Mo Mingzhi could catch some small wild animals, he might not be able to sell them, so he could only roast them and eat them on fire in the wilderness. And the broken silver taels on Xiao Xiaohua's body don't seem to be able to be used up. For a day or two, Mo Mingming didn't care much about it, but Xiao Minghua bought so many delicious things every day and came back, Mo Mingming couldn't help but feel strange, and asked, "Brother, do you have a lot of silver on you?"

Xiao Xiaohua blinked: "Isn't it the little bit of silver that the kind old lady gave me? ”

Mo Mingming was speechless for a while, but he said strangely: "Where did the old man go to buy rice?

"I see, your grandfather didn't come out to buy rice at all, he went to visit some friends. Maybe he's gone back now. ”

Mo Mingming was right when he thought about it, so he said, "Brother, then let's go back and see if the old man has come back." ”

Xiao Xiaohua also wants to see who Mo Mingming's grandfather is. From Mo Mingming's intermittent and unsystematic conversation, he felt that this old man was too mysterious and aroused his curiosity. He wanted to see if this eccentric old man was a living immortal in the world, or a mysterious spirit strange man with special skills.

Three days later, they passed through the primeval forest that covered the sky and the sun, and appeared under the Nine Shadows Peak. The so-called Nine Shadows Peak of the Old Demon is actually a lonely peak. This belt is high and deep in the valley, the forest is verdant, and it is steep and abnormal everywhere, and this lonely peak is often cloud-sealed and foggy, and its true face can only be seen on a good sunny day. The locals call it Jietianling, and some also call it Yunwu Peak. Because the peak is so high that no one has ever climbed it.

Xiao Xiaohua looked at it and asked, "Silly brother, where do you live?"

Mo Mingzhi pointed to the peak of the mountain and said, "We live on the peak." Xiao Yanhua looked at it and couldn't help but be stunned. This Nine Secluded Peaks almost rises from the ground in a group of strange rocks, and the cliffs are like knives and axes. And the rocks that protrude from the air in the stone wall seem to be about to fall, making people dizzy to see. Xiao Yuhua said: "Silly brother, how can you go up here!"
