A light stopped.

Sun Li fell to the ground, and looked at Jun Yuewu who stopped him.

"What's the matter, you're leaving now?" Jun Yuewu asked first, frowning slightly.

"Well, there are some things that have to be left. Sun Li replied expressionlessly.

"Can't you just wait a few days? You know, even though I've been trying my best to lobby for the past few days, there are still a few elders who don't agree with you leaving. ”

"Of course I know. However, I'm in a bit of a hurry now, and I'm leaving tonight at the latest. After all, there are still some small things to deal with before the real thing is done, and if it is too late, it will be too late. ”

"Then ......" Jun Yuewu opened her mouth, gritted her teeth slightly, and said, "In that case, well, let me talk to those old men again, and give you an answer before dark." However, don't be reckless until then, after all, those old immortals in the mountains are not easy to mess with, and I am not necessarily an opponent. ”

"I know. ”

"That's good, wait for me. Jun Yuewu glanced at Sun Li solemnly, then turned around and left quickly, running to the depths of Lingshan.

Sun Li looked at Jun Yuewu's departing figure, sat down in place, and pondered for a while, his eyes flickered, and his gaze became a little deep.

Then, night falls.

In the cool breeze, Jun Yuewu returned with a tired face, nodded slightly at Sun Li, and said strongly: "Okay, I took out the strength to eat, and finally persuaded those old stubborns." Now, they'll agree to let you go, but only if you take this with you. ”

"This?" Sun Li stood up and looked at Jun Yuewu, and saw that in the other party's hand, there was a floating and twisted black qi, and his eyes couldn't help flashing slightly, "This is...... Seal the Demon Seal?"

"Don't worry, this is not a real demon seal, but a specially made forgery in our secret land, which is similar to the one I carry, which can help you reduce the chance of being discovered by that inexplicable being. ”

"There's no need for this, right?" Sun Li frowned slightly.

"It's necessary, it's necessary, after all, once something happens to you, it will affect hundreds of thousands of demons. So, as soon as you leave the Midland, as long as you continue to live on this land, you have to take it with you. Jun Yuewu's attitude was very resolute.

Sun Li's profound gaze fluctuated for a moment, shook his head slightly, and said, "Actually, the reason why I left was because I wanted to leave this land to take a look at the legendary Tang Dynasty and the outside world. ”

"Really?" Jun Yuewu was slightly stunned, but then thought for a while, and then injected an unknown vitality into the floating "Demon Seal" in his hand, and handed it over again, "Since this is the case, then I modified the effect of this Demon Seal, which can ensure that it will automatically collapse after you leave this land, how about it?"

Sun Li's profound gaze fluctuated again, looked at Jun Yuewu, and said with a little helplessness: "Okay, since you have to bring it, then bring it." ”

As he spoke, Sun Li stretched out his arm, allowing the dense black qi to slowly gather on his right arm, turning into a black mark.

Sealed demons.

Then Sun Li turned around and flew towards the outside of Lingshan, and after flying out for a few zhang, he seemed to remember something, suddenly turned around, looked at Jun Yuewu, and said, "By the way, thanks to hospitality these days, I have to leave here, and it is a little unreasonable not to give you anything to think about." ”

"No, no, really. Jun Yue Wu waved his hand again and again.

But Sun Li smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I'm very poor, I can't send you in kind, what can be sent is a story." ”

"Story?" Jun Yuewu was slightly stunned, "What story?"

"A cold story. Sun Li was still smiling.

"What is a cold story? ”

"Once upon a time there was a ghost who was very timid and afraid of all the other ghosts, so he hid in his house every day and did not come out. Sun Li opened his mouth to speak, "And then one day, this ghost was bored, looked in the mirror and played, and then screamed, and was scared to death by himself in the mirror." Well, that's why people call him a coward again. ”

"Huh, are you done?" Jun Yuewu asked in surprise when she saw Sun Li stopping. What kind of story is this? What's the point? I can't even hear it.

Sun Li didn't explain, just nodded and left Lingshan quickly.

This time, there was no laugh.

And at this moment, overhead, the starry sky is shining brightly.

Announcing the arrival of the first night of early winter.

......

Then came the second night.

Jun Yuewu appeared in the Thunder Yin Palace, and the so-called Holy Lord of the Lingshan Secret Land was only separated by a thin veil.

After a brief silence, the Holy Lord opened his mouth and asked, "He's gone?"

"Gone. ”

"What's missing? or what?"

"I didn't find anything in his chosen abode, in the black nest, but before he left, he told me a story, well, a cold story. ”

"What is a cold story? ”

"Oh. Jun Yuewu nodded, and then repeated what Sun Li had said before, and as a result, he got the evaluation of the Holy Lord in four words-I don't know what to do.

"Yes, I don't know what to do, I also feel a little confused, and I told a few other elders, and they all said they didn't know what to do. So, Sister Zique, this is obvious, and you don't need to say more. Jun Yue Wu spread his hands and said, not looking at the female holy lord with much fear.

Because, her surname is Jun Zique, and she is her sister.

Well, dear sister.

The corners of the gentleman's mouth hooked slightly, "Since this is the case, it seems that the person you brought here is nothing, and it was in vain that you went around to intercede for him." ”

"Sister Zique, you can't say that. After all, I brought people back, and I am naturally responsible for the end, which is my principle of doing things. Jun Yue Wu Yizheng said.

"Principles of doing things?" said the gentleman smiled, "how old are you to have principles for doing things?" do you know why your name has a black character in it, not a word like 'bird', because you are still a little short of real adulthood. ”

"You!" Jun Yuewu was a little annoyed, pointing to his body and glaring, "Look at me like this, what point does it look like I am not an adult!"

"Huh. "If you can say such a thing, it proves that you are still a child." ”

"Me!" Jun Yuewu finally didn't know what to say, exhaled a sullen breath, suddenly rolled his eyes, remembered something again, and said, "By the way, before that person left, in addition to telling me a story that I don't know, he also asked me to tell you a story." ”

"Hmm, tell me, what's that story?"

He said that when hunters catch their prey, they don't catch them without coming up. Instead, they launched a tentative attack on the herd from several directions, making the herd afraid, forcing the herd to run wildly in one direction, and finally they were all led into a special trap and were hunted clean in a wave. ”

After Jun Yuewu finished telling, she then asked, "How is it?

Unexpectedly, Junzique's eyes flickered, and he shook his head slightly, "I don't know what to do, but in addition to not knowing what to do, it also has a little other meaning, and it is a little bold." This is comparing my Vulture Mountain to a trap and hundreds of thousands of demons to prey!"

At the end, Junzi Que suddenly sighed again, "Maybe." ”

......

Third night.

Sun Li returned to the underground palace two thousand miles away, and saw that the old tree demon and Yan Chixia were still silently looking at each other.

I've been going, how many days have it been, and it's still like this?

Sun Li rolled his eyes, then sat down in front of the old tree demon and said, "That grandma, I'll tell you something." ”

"Huh, what's the matter?"

"I'm going to be away for a while, so the ten-year protection deal I made with you can't be carried out, but I think that since my senior brother is here, nothing should happen. ”

"Whatever you want, I don't care. The old dryad said expressionlessly, unable to tell whether he was happy or angry.

Sun Li nodded, then looked at the old tree demon and Yan Chixia, "Of course, I won't let you suffer for nothing, it's better to ...... I'll tell you a story to compensate. ”

"What's the story?"

"Self-hanging southeast branches. ”

"What do you mean? ”

"Once upon a time, there was a young couple, the man's name was Jiao Zhongqing, and the woman's name was Liu Lanzhi......" Sun Li did not explain, and told directly.

“...... In the end, Liu Lanzhi threw water, and Jiao Zhongqing hung the southeast branch...... The so-called peacock flies southeast, wandering for five miles......"

After the story was told, the old dryad was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked, "What do you mean by telling the story of two martyred mortals?"

"It's not interesting, just talk about it casually, you two don't think about it, don't ...... it" Sun Li said very seriously, got up and left the underground palace.

......

Fourth night.

Sun Li stopped Wu Fugui in the hall, and then told the other party a news that was almost bad news, "I have to leave once in the past few days." ”

"How long is it going to be gone? I said Sun Gongzi, you can come back quickly. You must know that your senior brother doesn't care about things at all, he looks at that tree every day, and I alone have the ability to hold up such a big stall. Wu Fugui said with a bitter face.

"I'm afraid that this time will not be too short, at least three or five years. Sun Li said slowly.

"Three or five years!" Wu Fugui's eyes had already popped out, "My God, what should I do!"

"Find a way. ”

"But I can't think of a way. ”

"Then read more books. Read more, and there will be a way. ”

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. Once upon a time, there was a general named Lu Meng who was like you, he didn't read much, and later, he experienced some things, and he studied hard, and as a result, the ministers who discussed military affairs with him were very surprised and said, Shibei should be impressed in three days. How is it, do you understand?" asked Sun Li.

Wu Fugui's eyes blinked several times, and then shook his head vigorously, "I don't understand." ”

"Whew, if you don't understand, you read more, and if you read more, you will naturally move. Well, after I leave, you'll have to finish reading a book every three days. ”

"Ahh

"Ah, what, that's it. Sun Li was very domineering, and then walked onto the ground.

......

Fifth night.

Sun Li and Nie Xiaoqian sat on top of a giant tree on the surface. Sun Li told Nie Xiaoqian the story of "Journey to the West", and talked about "three dozen white bone spirits" in one breath.

In this way, the white bone spirit was killed, and Sun Wukong was also driven away. After a long time, Sun Li exhaled and ended his story.

"Then, later, did Sun Wukong come back?" Nie Xiaoqian asked with curiosity.

"This ...... I'll tell you when I get back, senior sister. Sun Lidao.

"Okay, I'll wait. Nie Xiaoqian shook her legs and looked at the distance with a calm face.

Sun Li smiled slightly, nodded, and then jumped off the tree with a "bang". Then he waved his hand and walked into the distance, "Then, it's decided, I'll tell you when I come back, senior sister." ”

Slowly, Sun Li's figure disappeared into the darkness.

......

Sixth night.

Sun Li took Wei Xiaobao and came to Lanjing, the capital of the Great Moon Kingdom.

Standing on the top floor of a wooden building, looking at the prosperous scene of thousands of lights in Lanjing, Sun Li told Wei Xiaobao a story called "The Story of Deer and Ding".

"That Wei Xiaobao is a concubine, a marriage envoy, the master of heaven and earth, the abbot of Qingliang Temple, and the first-class deer and Ding Gong. According to what you said before, every one of his identities should be a big shot. And I, I hope you can seize the opportunity and do better than him. ”

Wei Xiaobao opened his mouth a little surprised, but he didn't say that he couldn't do it like ordinary people, but was silent for a while, and asked directly, "What opportunity do you seize?"

This is Wei Xiaobao! This is Wei Xiaobao, who wants to seize every opportunity to climb up and strive to become a big man! Although he is now just a small guy who can't be smaller.

Sun Li smiled slightly, and asked rhetorically, "Xiaobao, what do you think is what a big man must have?"

"Money, power, power!" Wei Xiaobao replied, one word heavier than the other.

Sun Li nodded, agreed, then looked at the night market on the street, and said slowly: "Money, I can give you 100,000 taels of silver, not a lot, but not a lot." Quan, I can give you a secret letter, and at the critical moment, you can take this letter and get the full help of a minister of three grades, of course, there is only one chance. And the rest of the momentum is up to you. And this is the opportunity I gave you. Hopefully, when I come back, you can surprise me. ”

"Then the owner, when are you coming back?" Wei Xiaobao asked.

"I can't say exactly. Sun Li sighed, "Maybe three or five years, maybe ten years, decades, maybe never come back." Well, work hard and don't let me down. ”

"No, it won't. Wei Xiaobao affirmed.

"Then when the time comes, let's prove it with facts. Sun Li smiled, then drank a cup of the best Biluo spring tea worth three taels of silver, and walked downstairs.

Wei Xiaobao stood in place, thought for a long time, and then silently put away the silver ticket and letter that Sun Li put down on the table, and left here.

And the cup of the best Biluochun on the table, Wei Xiaobao did not move.

Because Wei Xiaobao knows very well that this tea is not something that he can drink with his current identity, so he should wait until he doubles the wealth handed over by the owner, and wait until he has the corresponding identity, and then drink it.

......

Seventh night.

Lanjing, on the royal road outside the palace, Sun Li and Li Qing'er walked side by side.

"Your cultivation looks like you're much more refined than when you were in Jinhua Mountain before. Sun Li was the first to speak.

"The same goes for you. Li Qing'er said.

"Each other, each other. By the way, thank you for helping me write that letter. ”

"No thanks, it's just a gesture, just a third-grade official. Li Qing'er was very calm.

"Oh, perhaps. Then, it is also a matter of effort to find an eight-treasure ship that can go to sea for me?" Sun Li asked with a smile.

"Almost. Li Qing'er's tone didn't change much.

Sun Li shrugged.

"Actually, I envy you. Li Qing'er suddenly let out a sigh and said a little gloomily, "I envy you, you can go to sea at will and see the exotic scenery at will." And I can only be trapped in this Lanjing and this palace for the rest of my life. Of course, if I'm not careful, I might be trapped in a dungeon chamber after my father dies. After all, I'm just a female ......"

"Not necessarily. Sun Li suddenly spoke.

"Huh?" Li Qing'er frowned.

Sun Li smiled slightly, and the next moment suddenly asked, "Have you heard of a person named Wu Zetian?"

"Wu Zetian?" Li Qing'er.

And after half a ring, Li Qing'er looked at the direction Sun Li left, but her eyes became sharp, and she said word by word, "Wu Zetian!"

......

Eighth night.

Sun Li arrived in the big harbor of Lanjing and boarded a docked Babao sea ship.

This is the cargo ship that Li Qing'er found for herself, specially going back and forth between Dayue and Datang, communicating with each other, and has been in operation for more than 40 years, and the owner of the ship, who was originally a sturdy guy, has also become an old man with gray temples.

At this moment, Sun Li was standing on the deck, looking at the guys who had been carrying goods all day, and it was not easy to seize an opportunity to rest, sitting and chatting in twos and threes.

A guy with a crooked nose who was closest to him was complaining loudly: "Alas, it's really unlucky, this time I actually loaded so many things, many of which are not used at all and cannot be sold, it is just a toss." ”

"It's not enough to toss people, I think this is the old shipowner's consideration. ”

"I don't think so, I think that maybe the old captain is ready to do his last business, and he wants to see what the people over there like about our Dayue, so as to leave a road for future generations, so that he will load some goods. ”

"Nonsense, the old shipowner is so wise, how can he think of what you say, there must be other deep meanings. ”

"Cut, you're just guessing at all, and you don't even have ...... evidence"

"But ......"

The two guys couldn't argue for a while, and suddenly looked at Sun Li together, and one of them said angrily, "This guest, you are the only newcomer on the ship, and you don't know either of us, so you won't be biased towards anyone, so you can make a comment, which of the two of us is right?"

"Well, it's hard to say. Sun Li said slowly, his tone changed slightly, "However, it is naturally not wrong to be well prepared." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"I once heard that there was a monkey who lived on an island and wanted to cross the sea to see what was going on. And this monkey, who was a fiery man, did what he said, and set off on a raft, but on the third day, because he did not bring enough fresh water, he lost his way and died of thirst in the sea. ”

"This ......"

"So, the more anxious you are, the faster you will die. If you can be fully prepared, you should be sufficient, otherwise the consequences will be unbelievable. Sun Lidao.

The two guys were stunned, a little unsure of what Sun Li meant, but Sun Li looked at the sea water in the big harbor, revealing a slightly worried gaze.

Yourself, are you a little anxious?

......

Ninth night.

Sun Li was still standing on the deck, and then the owner of the ship, the gray-haired old owner, walked over.

"Hello Sun Gongzi. ”

"Hello old shipowner. ”

"I heard a few guys say early this morning that yesterday Gongzi told the story of a monkey who was not fully prepared and died of thirst, which seems to have a deep meaning, so I specially came to ask the old man, do you have any suggestions for my sea ship? If you have any opinions, Sun Gongzi, you must bring them up, and don't see them outside. After all, once we set sail, we will have to live together at sea for several years, no different from our relatives. The old shipowner said.

Sun Li smiled, "The old shipowner said that he laughed, I have a deep meaning there, it's just idle and boring, just say it casually." In terms of shipping, the old ship owner must know more than me, and what advice can I make. ”

"Then Sun Gongzi, what do you think of the fact that I loaded a lot of useless goods?"

"If you are well prepared, you will be prepared. Sun Li smiled, "Of course, it's too much, it's too prepared, and it's not a good thing." ”

"Hmm? Sun Gongzi's statement is novel, what's the matter, is there an allusion to this?"

"Allusions? I can't say allusions, but it's just a story of a monkey going to sea. ”

"I want to hear about it. ”

"......," Sun Li exhaled and said, "It's still that island." When the first monkey died of thirst in the sea, the second monkey also had the idea of going overseas to see it. And he learned the lesson of the first monkey, and he was very active and comprehensive in preparation, constantly preparing for ......"

"And then?" asked the old shipowner.

"Later...... Later, the monkey kept preparing until he died, but he did not finish his preparations, let alone leave the island. Therefore, it is not necessarily a good thing to have been prepared. ”

"There is some truth. The old shipowner stroked his beard and left.

As a result, all kinds of sundries that were originally planned to be loaded into the sea ship and transported to Datang were only half loaded, and the sea ship also went to sea three days ahead of schedule.

......

Tenth night.

Sun Li sat in the cabin, listening to the sound of the waves crashing against the hull outside, opened his mouth, and told himself a story.

"It's still the same island. After the first and second monkeys died, a third monkey appeared who wanted to go to sea. He fully absorbed the feet of the two predecessors before him, neither unprepared nor overprepared, everything was very suitable and went on the road - he set up a flat boat and entered the vast sea. Obviously, he is smart, but he is also stupid, because no matter how good he is, it only takes one big wave in the sea to kill him. Monkeys go to sea, it is stupid.

However, the third monkey had to do it again, because he really wanted to go overseas and see if it was the same as on the island. Does the creature outside look like the jackals, tigers and leopards running around on the island, or is it a 'human' who has never seen it before and walks on two legs? ”

In any case, this monkey is going to go to sea, no matter how dangerous it is. Because he really wants to see the outside world. Because, some things, only after watching, will you understand.

Yes, only when you see it will you understand, you will understand many things, and you will understand whether you are a monkey or a human!

"Whoa", the story is over, and in the night, the huge Babao sea ship is like a sharp arrow, riding the wind and waves in the vast sea......

(End of the Demon World)
