Chapter 23: Strange Monsters
Zhuang Zhou dived into the pool, the pool water was cold, and suddenly the burning sensation that almost made him burst faded. At the same time, the heat released by the body seems to heat up the surrounding pool water as well!
When his body gradually cooled down, Zhuang Zhou swam to the water, but he didn't expect that as soon as he poked his head out of the water, the scorching heat came back instantly. Zhuang Zhou had to dive into the water again, and this time as soon as he was like water, he found that there were two red light clusters at the bottom of the water, flashing and moving.
The ball of light was the size of an egg, about a foot apart, motionless at the bottom of the water, and like two eyes, staring at Zhuang Zhou. Zhuang Zhou's heart was a little hairy, and he thought, there shouldn't be some kind of monster lying in this water, right?
Using his hands and feet together, he approached the two light clusters in a moment, and he could vaguely see that they seemed to grow on a large black object. The closer he got to the ball of light, the more he felt that they seemed to have a kind of magic that made Zhuang Zhou's mind uncontrollable, desperate to get close to them.
Finally, Zhuang Zhou sank to the bottom of the water, his eyes less than a foot apart from the two light clusters. At this time, he found that there was a black sphere in the middle of each light cluster, which looked like two eyes in the haze! No, they were indeed two eyes! Zhuang Zhou finally saw that the light cluster was indeed two eyes, and these two eyes did belong to the head of a huge strange-looking animal!
Those two eyes blinked suddenly! Then, the massive body behind the eyes slowly moved!
I saw that after the animal in the water stood up, it looked like a cow and not a cow, like a horse and not a horse, and was covered with green hair, and there was a strange golden light shining between the green hairs. Seeing Zhuang Zhou approaching him, the monster opened its mouth, revealing Bai Sensen's fangs, and bit it over! Zhuang Zhou was taken aback, and hurriedly struggled upward, and his body instantly burst out a few meters. However, as soon as his head was about to emerge from the water, he felt his feet tighten, and then pulled himself straight down with a force!
Zhuang Zhou knew that it was the monster in the water that bit his feet, and in a hurry, his legs kicked wildly, but he didn't expect that the monster was extremely powerful, but where could he break free!
Zhuang Zhou's body was dragged into the water by the monster! At this time, his mind was instantly blank, only to feel that the surroundings were getting darker and darker, his body was getting colder and colder, and his consciousness was becoming more and more blurred...... Finally, nothing is known.
I don't know how long it took, Zhuang Zhou slowly opened his eyes. But he was startled by the sight before him, and saw a large round object right under his nose, which was covered with messy hair, and had five holes in its face, the upper two holes were shining, the middle two holes were steaming with unpleasant heat, and the lower holes were the largest, grinning, revealing two rows of yellow teeth above and below. The whole object is attached to the tip of Zhuang Zhou's nose!
Zhuang Zhou screamed "oops" and hurriedly retreated, but when he moved, he was in severe pain, making him almost fall. At the same time, I found that my body was still soaked in water!
Seeing Zhuang Zhou's face frightened, the round object actually let out a strange laugh, very proud, and at the same time, left Zhuang Zhou's face. Only then did Zhuang Zhou discover that the round object turned out to be a human head!
Zhuang Zhou found himself in a tall wooden barrel, filled with a turquoise and turquoise liquid, the liquid was extraordinarily thick, just like the thick liquid made of chocolate that Zhuang Zhou had eaten in the twenty-year dream that Master Liu Canglong had made for himself, and there was a fishy sweet taste! Looking around, it seemed to be a simple thatched hut, and the sun outside the house was lazily shining, and it seemed to be morning. In front of him stood a man with hair on his head, barely visible skin on his face, and a gray and thick beard that hung down to his stomach. Ragged, barefoot, and covered in mud, he looks like an unlucky man who has just escaped death from a wolf pack!
The man looked at Zhuang Zhou and smiled, his hands raised, kept waving, and his mouth shouted: "Wake up, wake up!" seemed to be very happy.
Zhuang Zhou was at a loss, recalling that he was dragged to the bottom by a monster in the waterhole under the waterfall, and thought that he would die on this end, but he didn't expect to come here inexplicably! Could it be that everything was another dream? No, he clearly remembered the cultivation after the stone room, and accidentally went mad, and then rushed into the waterhole and met the monster in the water......
"Am I dreaming?" Zhuang Zhou looked at the strange man dancing in front of him, and blurted out the question in his heart.
The strange man was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect that the first thing Zhuang Zhou asked when he woke up was like this. He scratched his unkempt hair, pursed his thick lips and said, "Of course not!
Zhuang Zhou saw that he was at least sixty years old, but when he spoke, his demeanor was very much like that of an unsensible child, which was very funny and weird, and people couldn't help laughing.
Zhuang Zhou asked again: "Why am I here? Where is this?Who are you?" The strange man waved his hands in front of his chest and said, "Oh, why are you talking so urgently, I didn't hear clearly." Don't answer! Don't answer!" he said, and was about to turn around and leave. Zhuang Zhou was amused and angry, so he had to say: "Don't go, don't go, I'll ask one by one!" The strange man stopped, tilted his head and said, "Then you ask!"
Zhuang Zhou asked: "Where is this?" The strange man said: "You are so stupid, of course this is my home, Bicui Valley!" Zhuang Zhou thought to himself that you said this to mean that you didn't say it, Bicui Valley, I have never heard of it, I don't know if it is on Yunmeng Mountain? It is estimated that the strange man can't ask anything, so he simply doesn't ask, and only asks the second question: "How did I get here?" The strange man said: "My little Qi brought you!" "Xiao Qi? Could it be the monster in the water?" At this time, Zhuang Zhou couldn't help but ask: "Who is Xiao Qi?" The strange man shook his head and said, "Xiao Qi is Xiao Qi, I can't tell you!"
Zhuang Zhou was depressed in his heart, thinking that he had come to this place inexplicably, and had met such an inexplicable strange person! After asking for a long time, he didn't understand anything! However, he still couldn't help asking, "Who are you?"
The strange man suddenly frowned and looked up at the roof, as if he was trying his best to think about something, and then knocked on his forehead and said, "Why is this question so strange for you!" Zhuang Zhou couldn't help but be surprised, it seemed that this strange man was really not bright. In addition to being disappointed, I couldn't help but worry about my situation.
However, thinking that after practicing the exercises, the burning heat all over his body seemed to burst, and now except for some pain in moving his body, the burning sensation has disappeared. It seems that this green liquid soaked in himself must be some kind of healing elixir, and this elixir must also be prepared by the strange man in front of him. Saying this, this strange man was still his own life-saving benefactor, and he was grateful in his heart, and said, "Thank you...... Uncle rescue!"
The strange man seemed to be still thinking about the question just now, and he wrinkled his brows and muttered to himself: "This question is very strange, who am I? Who am I?"
Zhuang Zhou couldn't help but sympathize with this strange person in his heart, it turned out that he had forgotten who he was, seeing that he was sloppy and confused, he might have experienced some tragic things in life.
The strange man kept muttering to himself, and then simply sat on the ground, regardless of Zhuang Zhou's surprise. Later, he buried his head in his chest and grabbed his hair with both hands, which seemed to be very painful. When Zhuang Zhou saw this, he couldn't help but feel guilty in his heart, he knew that this question tortured him so much, so he didn't ask.
Suddenly, the strange man jumped up, his excitement was indescribable, and he rushed to Zhuang Zhou, his eyes were shining, and he said loudly: "I know who I am, I tell you who I am!"
