Chapter 224: The Truth
There is a first step, there is a second step.
Then there is the third step, the fourth step.
Sun Li's speed increased under his feet, and he chased after the white monkey, climbing over the wall all the way, running, and finally following to a mountain stream.
The white monkey stopped and looked back.
Sun Li frowned and asked at the white monkey, "Who are you?"
"Me?" said the white monkey with a smile, shaking his neck and cynical expression, "Why should I tell you?"
Sun Li frowned deeply, "Then what do you want to do when you lead me out?"
"Haha, I can tell you this. Actually, I brought you out because I wanted to save you. β
"Help me?"
"Yes, save you!" the white monkey said very surely, and then the corners of his mouth turned slightly up, and asked, "You have been in this fishing stream mountain for more than half a month, haven't you found some strange things?"
"What do you mean?" Sun Li's eyes flickered.
"Haha, don't pretend to be confused with me, you know it best in your own heart. The white monkey seemed to be a little impatient and said coldly.
"Actually, I don't know at all. Sun Li was calm.
"Huh. The white monkey smiled, and then his face straightened, "Okay! Since you don't know, then I'll make it clear to you." First of all, let me ask you, don't you feel a little strange about the names of the eleven people who are apprentices in Diaoxi Mountain? Li Qingzhao, Zhou Yu, Wu Chengen, Zheng Xie, Wang Mang, you must have heard of these names in another place, right?
Also, that old man is also very weird, isn't it? Obviously, he looks like a mortal, and he has no cultivation at all, but he is the master of eleven people. Besides, when you forged the sword before, you also saw that the old man had obviously been drained of blood, but in the blink of an eye, he had become vigorous again, isn't it strange? Is this something that an ordinary person can do? Moreover, his apprentices, when they first bleed him, didn't seem to be worried that something would happen to him.
Besides, this old man's apprentices were obviously only eleven, but the last one was ranked twelve, and he was ranked third. And have you ever noticed that after you came, or by misunderstanding or coincidence, everyone tacitly assumed that you were ranked third? Can't you see that this is actually a game, a game designed for you?
Finally, you should also know in your heart that the old man can take the iron fruit out of the cave by sending an apprentice at will, but he wants to make a deal with you, and he wants to leave you here for you to get it. If they really don't listen to him, then why do all his apprentices stay in Diaoxi Mountain?"
When the white monkey said this, his expression became very serious, his eyes widened, and he said word by word, "So, listen to me, run away, escape from this fishing stream and mountain, and you may be able to pick up a life." Otherwise, stay here any longer, and when this bureau set up for you closes the net, you will definitely die without a place to be buried!"
Sun Li frowned, didn't move, just looked at the white monkey and said, "Actually, compared to what you said, I'm more curious about why you know so much?
"Am I behind it?" hahaha, hahaha!" The white monkey seemed to have heard the funniest joke, rolling on the ground and laughing, laughing and laughing turned into a sneer again, stood up and said, "Boy, you are really whimsical and think that I am behind the scenes." I'll tell you the truth, the reason I know so much is because I have good ears. With these ears, I can hear a lot of things, even what some people are thinking in their hearts. β
"Is there such a being?"
"Of course there is. Boy, don't put on a look of disbelief, I said it, I can hear what some people are thinking, so I know that in your memory, there is a presence like me. β
"Oh?"
"Well, let me give you a hint. The white monkey showed a bit of seriousness, "There are five immortals in the sky, gods, men and ghosts in heaven and earth, and five insects in the earth, with scales and feathers." In addition to these ten categories, there are four kinds of spirit monkeys, namely: "through change, know the time of the sky, know the location, move the stars and change the fight", the Akajiri horse monkey who "knows yin and yang, knows people, is good at entering and exiting, and avoids death and prolongs life"; the gibbon monkey who "takes the sun and the moon, shrinks a thousand mountains, distinguishes the blame, and makes a lot of things"; and the six-eared macaque who is "good at listening to sounds, can perceive, know before and after, and everything is clear". You should have seen this in a book, right?
And I have good ears, and you don't know who I am?"
"Are you a six-eared macaque?" Sun Li looked at the white monkey in front of him, his brows furrowed into a pimple.
"Haha, haha. The white monkey smiled, "You say I am, I am, you say I am not, I am not." Anyway, it's enough for me to give you a hint, and don't even think about getting my personal acknowledgment for the rest. β
Sun Li squinted.
The white monkey laughed again, "Haha, boy, don't think about dealing with me with your heart, really do it, ten thousand of you are not my opponent combined." In my eyes, you are actually no different from an ant, if I hadn't been idle and had to have some fun, I wouldn't have talked so much to you. Okay, that's all the way out, you'd better hurry up and get out of this fishing stream!"
Sun Li stood still and did not move.
Immediately, the white monkey became vicious, and said with a slight gritted teeth, "Why boy, don't you go?" I warn you, don't toast or eat and drink!"
Sun Li still didn't move.
The white monkey was furious, and raised the unsightly wooden stick in his hand to be struck, and Sun Li immediately felt as if a mountain was shooting at himβthat feeling, as long as he rubbed a little, he would definitely die!
Moreover, he can't dodge it himself. Because, when the other party swung out the stick, he was already inexplicably imprisoned in place.
This!
This kind of power! This kind of cultivation! Sun Li was shocked.
But the vigorous and powerful stick did not fall in the end.
Sun Li saw that the white monkey's movements suddenly stagnated, and his body quickly retreated backwards, like a wind.
Then the white monkey retreated into the woods on the other side of the mountain stream, with several ups and downs, completely disappearing from view.
"Huh?" Sun Li felt something, and turned his head to look behind him.
I saw that the world was constantly shaking like ripples, and then the old man was walking step by step. He held an oil-paper umbrella, hunched his neck and waist, looking as obscene as he wanted.
The voice came, "Hey, good apprentice, what are you running blindly on a rainy day?"
"Boom" All of a sudden, this sound directly shattered the black and white world that had always been colored, and all the lost colors returned in an instant, and a massive amount of information poured into Sun Li's brain through his eyes, and he couldn't help but be in a trance.
Sun Li desperately opened his eyes, trying to see everything that was blurry, but in the end it was still dark.
Then it was bright, and Sun Li sat up suddenly, and then saw that the surrounding scene had changed greatly.
Beams, walls, paintings, doors and windows, wooden tables, books.
When I opened more than half of the book, I vaguely saw the words "Danshan" on it.
Sun Li recognized it, this is not his residence, isn't this the inside of the Thundering Hall of the Stunned Palace?
When I turned my head again, I saw the old man sitting on the side dozing, and then he was startled when he heard the voice, and after calming down, he began to babble, "Oh, good apprentice, you can be regarded as waking up, you know, you have slept for three days and three nights." Tell me, okay, why did you brave the heavy rain to go out and wander around, it's okay, get dazed. In other words, your body bones are too weak, if I get drenched in the rain, at most I will have a wind chill, and I will not be in a coma for three days and three nights. β
Three days and three nights? Sun Li's heart trembled slightly, had it been three days? Then, Sun Li thought of the white monkey before. Is what the other party is saying true or false?
Just as he was thinking, the old man leaned over again and asked in a low voice, "By the way, apprentice, did you see anything unclean when you were unconscious?"
"Huh?" Sun Li raised his eyebrows and looked at the old man.
The old man was a little embarrassed, scratched his head, and continued, "Apprentice, it's like this. Let's fish in the mountains and streams, because the feng shui is so good, so, from time to time, there are some mandrill ghosts and ghosts, specifically confusing people's hearts, I'm just afraid that you will be tricked. So, if you see something unclean, don't believe what they say, just remember one thing, it's all false, don't believe it!"
Sun Li raised his head and looked at the old man, his eyes seemed to be the first time he knew, until he got goosebumps when he looked at the old man, and then suddenly said, "Actually, I didn't see anything before." β
"Oh, that's good, that's good. The old man let out a long sigh of relief, rolled his eyes, and slipped out the door, "By the way, that apprentice, since you are awake, then I will go and get busy first." You don't have to rush to pick up another item in the transaction, that thing will have to wait for a while, so you can cultivate slowly, don't rush. β
"Hmm. Sun Li nodded and replied expressionlessly.
"Uh-huh. The old man pushed the door and left.
And Sun Li watched the old man leave, jumped out of bed, closed the door, his eyes instantly became sharp, through the window, looking at the scenery outside the door, muttering, "Don't you believe it? But I don't believe you very much, in fact, I only believe in myself." As for the truth, what you say and what it says doesn't actually count, only what I find is counted. Well, only what I found myself counts as ......"
ps: There is only this chapter today, forgive me.
Also, guess what, old man and monkey, who is right?
