Chapter 85: The Water Monkey (Part II)

"Boss, you're not too young, and it's time for you to know some things." The boss touched the old man's head, "Actually, our ancestors were monkeys on land, and our ancestors lived in trees for generations, do you know why we stay in the water?" ”

"I ...... I do not know. ”

"Of course you don't know, now I'll tell you the reason, our grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather......"

"Which grandfather is it?" The boss was confused by the boss.

"I don't know which grandfather it is, but it's been hundreds of years since now."

"How did you know about it hundreds of years ago?" The old man is very strange.

"Our water monkey family has a genealogy, and it is clearly recorded. Feed! Don't interrupt me all the time, can you? The boss's face sank, and the old man trembled with fright, he was really afraid of this big brother.

"A few hundred years ago, there was a big temple in Mount Borneo, and the abbot was a monk who was proficient in Buddhism and had a good heart. One day he went to the bottom of the mountain to make a fortune, and accidentally met a wounded monkey in the forest, which was caught in the hunter's clip, and the wound was rotten and pus, and he must have been trapped here for several days. The abbot took the clamp off and took the little monkey back to the temple, gave it food, helped it heal, and took care of it like his own child......"

"That little monkey is so lucky, if it weren't for the abbot's help, it would definitely die." The boss was fascinated by what he heard, and couldn't help but interrupt the boss again.

Surprisingly, the boss didn't blame it this time, and said with a smile: "Yes! If there was no abbot, the little monkey would definitely not have escaped death, and there would have been no brothers and us. ”

"You mean to say that little monkey is our ancestor?" The old man asked.

"Not bad!" The boss nodded, "Boss, if you were that little monkey, how would you repay the abbot for saving his life?" ”

"I don't know how to repay it, I only know that since this life was given by the abbot, even if it is not too much to return it to him."

"Well said!" The other three water monkeys all applauded, they had heard this story from their father for a long time, and they had heard it many times, and every time they heard it, they felt their blood boiling, and thus also established a lofty ideal, that is, to inherit the will of their ancestors and protect this lake, and now the old man can say such impassioned words, which proves that it has grown up and is sensible.

The boss smiled with satisfaction, and then continued: "From then on, the little monkey followed the abbot around, like his apprentice. The abbot also liked it very much, not only taught it to read and write, chant scriptures and worship the Buddha, but also taught it martial arts, but unfortunately our ancestor was only interested in practicing martial arts, as for reading, it was ...... Hey! ”

The water monkeys laughed tacitly, not at all worried about waking up the tower, in their eyes the buffalo was meat on the chopping board, and they didn't have to worry about anything at all.

"No wonder we are not reading materials, it turns out that we have inherited our ancestors." The old man muttered to himself, causing the brothers to laugh again.

"Actually, what does it matter if you don't read or not? I admit that we are all illiterate, but that does not prevent our brothers from being the masters of this wood. A water monkey said triumphantly.

"Second brother, you're so right, and this lake, we also have the final say." The third and second are twins, and the relationship is quite good, so of course I won't forget to praise such a good opportunity.

The boss pressed down with both hands, the laughter stopped abruptly, and the water monkeys honestly continued to listen to the story, as the saying goes, the eldest brother is the father, the boss's temper is more irritable than the dead father, in addition to a little good face to the boss, he often punches and kicks the other brothers, so what he says is the holy decree, and no one dares not to listen. "One day, it suddenly rained heavily in Borneo, and it was more than half a month at once, and the bottom of the mountain became a flooded country. The abbot dismissed all his disciples, including the little monkey, but he himself refused to leave, vowing to live and die with the temple. Finally, one day the temple was completely flooded, and the little monkey who secretly returned was extremely sad when he saw this scene, and he vowed to protect the temple like the Master, not only for himself, but also for his children and grandchildren, for generations to come. ”

"It's all sunk into the water, what else are you protecting?" The old man asked.

"There is a lot of gold hidden in the stupa, and if anyone gets it, they will be rich enough to rival the country, and they will not be able to use it up for several lifetimes. Humans are the most greedy, so we must not let them break into the lake, once discovered, they will be killed! This is the ancestral motto of our water monkey family. The Boss explained.

"Oh! I understood that the gold was hidden in the pedestal of the stupa. The old man patted his head and said suddenly.

"How do you know?" The other three water monkeys shouted in unison, even they didn't know this secret, could it be that the boss secretly told the boss partially?

"Don't be cranky, the boss didn't say anything. That day, I inadvertently pressed the top of the head of a Buddha statue, but I didn't expect to open the mechanism, and before I could see clearly, I was scolded by the boss. "The boss remembers deeply, that time was the most severe time the boss was to himself, and he almost didn't hit someone.

The boss smiled, his younger brother is really smart, it's not in vain that I love it so much, if only I could be more ruthless.

"That abbot is really good at living, and he has saved so much gold quietly, no wonder so many people are willing to become monks." The second child sighed with emotion, who said that being a monk is a hard life in the future, I will be the first to turn my face with him.

"Don't talk nonsense, the abbot is a good man, he doesn't have the ability to accumulate so much gold, and he doesn't have the heart to keep it for himself." The Boss said.

"And where does the gold come from?" The second and third asked in unison.

"Hundreds of years ago there was a kingdom of Charentra in Java, and every king was a devout Buddhist, and they spent a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to build this Borneo stupa for decades, and it is certainly not too shabby as a royal temple."

"Oh, I see!" The water monkeys all came to their senses.

"Boss, our ancestors used to stay on land, why can we live underwater now?" The boss asked, and asked a few more questions while the boss was in a good mood, next time it might not have such good patience.

The boss smiled slightly, "Mount Borneo has become a big lake, and the little monkey forces himself to stay at the bottom of the lake for several hours every day in order to be able to adapt to life in the water. Hundreds of years later, our family has unwittingly acquired this special ability, so that we are no longer just monkeys, but a powerful water monkey that can dominate both on the shore and underwater. ”

"Thank you for the wisdom of your ancestors." The water monkeys are grateful, if it weren't for this special ability, they would have been burned to death by the wildfire.

"Let's do it! After talking about it for so long, I'm a little hungry. The boss licked his lips and finally said what everyone wanted to hear the most.

The water monkeys grabbed the tower's limbs and shouted to push him underwater, a tactic they often use, dragging their prey into the water and drowning, and then feasting on it.

The tower continued to sleep on his own, tossing and turning like a puppet, looking like he was dead.

"It's really useless, you look tall and big, but you don't have to fight." The boss shook his head, a look of disdain.

"Boss, can you have dinner?" The fourth asked.

"Eat! What else to talk about politely. The Boss opened his mouth to show two rows of sharp teeth, and bit down on the tower's throat, and it was his habit to drink some blood before eating meat.

"Just a few of you want to harm me? It's really overwhelming. The tower suddenly opened his eyes, and his hand grabbed the boss's neck.

"You...... Why didn't you die? The old man cried out in horror.

"You're all dead, and I won't die." Tie Ta scolded, "If you dare to curse me to death, Lao Tzu will destroy you first." "The palms of the hands crushed the boss's neck, these guys are ruthless and murderous, they must not be left behind, otherwise I don't know how many innocent lives will be tragically killed by them in the future.

"The boss is dead, run!" The water monkeys scattered in fright, burrowed under the water and disappeared. They all have a big question in their hearts, how could they be killed by a buffalo even if they were not afraid of a tiger?

"If you can escape in this way, then I don't have to come out of the tower to mix." The tower sneered and dived into the water in hot pursuit.

The sailors on the shore watched intently at the fight in the lake, but unfortunately they couldn't see clearly in the fog, and only heard the sound of "plopping" and "plopping" water, and then calmed down again.

"Is this the end?" The sailors looked at each other.

"It won't be so fast, I know the temper of the Tower King, he must find the lair of the water ghosts, and then wipe them out." Zheng He can be said to know the tower very well.

Zheng He guessed right, at this time there was a chase in the water, the iron tower punched out, a strong wind split the lake, and the water monkey that fell at the end sank straight to the bottom of the lake without snorting.

"You bastards, why don't you come out and help?" The second child shouted angrily.

"Call a helper? Just what the doctor ordered. The tower smiled slightly, the purpose of this trip was to wipe out this group of demons, and now someone had called them all out for a good deed, and he just saved a lot of trouble.

After a while, the water in the lake splashed and churned, and countless black shadows rushed towards the iron tower, the speed was very fast, and it was in front of it in the blink of an eye.

OMG! Why are there so many? The tower was taken aback slightly, originally thought that fifty or sixty would be up to the sky, but I didn't expect that five or six hundred would come, looking like they didn't look like water monkeys, they were chubby and honest, and they were much smaller, they should be the otters mentioned in the book. As the saying goes, ants bite elephants to death, not to mention that they are not small ants, the strength of these guys should not be underestimated, even crocodiles can't fight them.

"Kill him for me." The second child shouted fiercely.

"Second brother, let's go! It's too late. The third child persuaded.

"The third child, if you want to go, I must see him die with my own eyes before I am willing." The second child said hatefully, it is a great shame to kill people in his own territory, and he must get the field back.

"Second child, do you think I'm the eldest? Greedy for life and afraid of death, he fled as soon as something happened. The third elder said heroically, "I don't leave my brothers when I fight tigers, and I don't leave my fathers and sons when I go into battle, I'm here to accompany you." ”

"What a rabble!" The tower sneered, and slapped it out with all the strength of his palms, and the lake seemed to blow a tornado, and the huge waves up to several meters high rushed towards the otters violently, and immediately knocked them to the ground, and they were overwhelmed. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the tower suddenly turned around and threw himself at the water monkeys, grabbed the back of their necks one by one, and hit them unceremoniously.

There is also a fish that slipped through the net, but it can't be spared, the tower hurriedly left this place of right and wrong, in case it was troubled by that group of otters, this is not afraid of them, but worried that there will inevitably be death and injury if you start to do it, these otters are estimated to be coerced by the water monkeys to help the abuse, the nature is not bad, then let them go.

The tower swam forward, while looking carefully, chasing more than ten zhang, there was a dense aquatic grass in front of it, swaying with the waves like a girl's slender jade hand, don't look at them are not a hand, weak and not frightened, but they are extremely powerful invisible killers, many people who fell into the water were entangled in their hands and feet and drowned.

The tower did not hesitate to drill in, the water monkey just now escaped from this direction, the internal force was slightly released, and the layers of water and grass automatically separated to both sides, and a passage appeared in front. After a hundred or ten zhang, his eyes finally suddenly opened up, although he had already been mentally prepared, but this sudden scene still surprised the tower, he rubbed his eyes, he could be sure that this was not an illusion, could this be the group of water monkeys said about the Bora Stupa?
