Chapter 20: A Late Night Visitor

Yu Zhen Daogu didn't say much in depth.

Although Ye Cheng wanted to ask, he finally held on.

There will definitely be a chance to learn more about it in the future.

Actually, he now has an idea to take a look at the library of Chongyang Temple.

It is said that the library of Chongyangguan stores countless classics accumulated over hundreds of years.

He has now basically learned all the common words in this world, and there is no problem in reading books.

He wanted to get to know the world by reading books.

It's a pity that he's just a white ape.

It's too difficult to get into the library.

It's one thing to be literate and read, but it's another thing to be able to read books and have the ability to think for yourself.

Ye Cheng can let others see his cleverness, so that it is convenient to do some things, but he must not see the human thinking behind his cleverness.

It's a kind of self-preservation for him.

No way, this world can be without wildlife protection laws.

Even if there is..... A white ape with human consciousness, in his previous life, he was afraid that he would be treated as a guinea pig for scientific research.

this day.

Aunt Yu Zhen moved back a box.

"Xiaobai, there are a lot of books in here, which should be suitable for you to read now."

She said with a smile.

Xiaobai has to read books every day, and those enlightenment books are about to rot.

So she felt that she could improve the reading difficulty for Xiaobai.

Being able to teach Xiaobai to read and write, she is full of a sense of achievement.

Ye Cheng suddenly looked happy, and hurriedly opened the box, and there were indeed a lot of books inside.

He took out a copy casually, and after flipping through it, he suddenly had a plan.

The content of this book is still very simple.

In the previous life, it was equivalent to the level of extracurricular books in elementary school.

It has been detached from the initial stage of enlightenment.

He looked at the other books one by one, and there were many types and covered various aspects.

Although they are all relatively simple, they are still helpful for Ye Cheng to understand the world.

Although he can't enter the library of Chongyang Temple, he can ask Yu Zhen Daogu to borrow some out?

After opening his mind, Ye Cheng was in a good mood, so he picked up a copy, sat on the recliner, and read it.

In this world without the Internet, sometimes it's really too idle and you have to find something to pass the time.

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.

It has been more than two years since he came into this world.

Ye Cheng, who was one year older, looked more robust.

Standing up, he was almost 1.7 meters tall, extremely burly, and the bulging muscles could be seen all over his body.

In the ape group, it is definitely a giant ape.

After all, he practiced swords and ape striking every day, and what he improved was not only his internal qi in swordsmanship, but also his physical fitness.

During this year, he rarely left the bamboo forest, and only occasionally went out for a walk with Aunt Zhen Dao.

He wasn't bored either.

After all, I still have books to read every day.

The attributes of the house have slowly been filled.

"Xiaobai, I'm reading."

When Daoist Hong Jiu walked into the courtyard, he saw Ye Cheng lying on a bamboo chair, looking at the book intently, and immediately greeted him with a smile.

Ye Cheng showed the book in his hand to Hong Jiu Daoist, grinned, and tried his best to pretend to be an ape.

Only in front of Aunt Zhen Dao, he was not so cautious.

But in front of outsiders, he can't be too careless.

"Xiaobai is really good, have you started reading this kind of book?"

Daoist Hong Jiu was surprised, and then casually threw a Qi and Blood Pill over.

Every time he sees Xiaobai, he will habitually give qi and blood pills.

Ye Cheng took the Qi and Blood Pill, casually threw it into his mouth, and chewed it.

Now the Qi and Blood Pill is just a snack for him.

At this time, Yu Zhen Daogu walked out of the house.

"Second Senior Brother, why are you here?"

Yu Zhen Daogu asked with a smile.

"There is another task for us to guard the road, I will inform you, it is more urgent, and we will leave in the afternoon."

Hong Jiu Daoist said.

"Didn't you just do a mission to guard the way three months ago?"

Yu Zhen Daogu was surprised.

"Now the world is getting more and more chaotic, so it's normal for the Daoist to have more Daoist tasks, and now at least half of the Taoist masters in the temple are outside, and, I heard from the senior sister that the above plans to hand over some simple Daoist tasks to senior Taoists to do."

Hong Jiu Daoist said.

In the past, Dao guarding tasks would only be assigned to Dao Master-level ones.

As for the Taoist priests in the temple, they generally do not arrange the task of guarding the Tao.

The strength of the Taoist priest level is basically below the triple level of the qi realm, the strength is not strong, the danger is too high, and it is difficult to complete the task of guarding the Dao.

"So nervous?"

Aunt Yu Zhen was surprised.

Originally, the Taoist master's task of guarding the Tao was basically once a year.

But lately there have been signs of becoming more frequent.

I only did it once three months ago, and now I'm assigned a mission to guard the way.

"Well, maybe it will be more tense in the future, and this time, our mission to guard the road will be led by Senior Sister."

Daoist Hong Jiu nodded and said.

"Senior Sister is also going to be dispatched?"

Yu Zhen Daogu was even more surprised.

Senior Sister is a master of artistic conception, and the task of guarding the road that can make Senior Sister dispatch must not be simple.

"Yes, it's just that Senior Sister took the initiative to lead the team, because this Daoist mission is more dangerous, and Senior Sister is worried about our safety."

Hong Jiu Daoist nodded and said.

"With Senior Sister leading the team, there shouldn't be any danger."

Yu Zhen Daogu breathed a sigh of relief, and had a blind worship of the senior sister.

Afternoon.

Yu Zhen Daogu followed the others on a mission.

Ye Cheng stood on a big tree by the lake, watching the group ride away on the road in the distance.

For the next period of time, he was going to be alone again.

Fortunately, Aunt Yu Zhen brought him back a batch of books yesterday, and he was able to pass the time for a while.

Back in the bamboo house, Ye Cheng looked at the Baoxiang rat spinning in the bamboo cage.

The little guy has been looking for an opportunity to escape.

The bamboo cages have traces of gnawing.

"Little one, it's just me and you next."

Ye Cheng opened the bamboo cage, put his hand in, and grabbed out the Baoxiang mouse that couldn't dodge inside, and then he sat on the bamboo chair like this, holding the Baoxiang mouse while reading and stroking its smooth and soft hair, and just stroked it up.

It has become a habit for him to play the treasure rat now.

If you don't for a day, you're uncomfortable.

And the aroma on the body of the Baoxiang rat smells very good, and it seems to have a refreshing effect.

At least when he reads a book, he smells the aroma and is not sleepy at all.

Baoxiang Rat lay in Ye Cheng's arms, not moving.

When Ye Cheng stroked it for the first time, it was still grinning and wanted to bite Ye Cheng.

But after being cleaned up by Ye Cheng a few times, this treasure rat no longer dared.

Night.

Ye Cheng was lying on the bamboo bed.

A slight snoring sounded.

In his previous life, he often suffered from insomnia and poor sleep quality.

But after being reborn in the white ape, he found that he could fall asleep by dipping into the bed, and he slept until dawn, and he didn't dream in the middle.

Squeak squeak ....

Suddenly, the Baoxiang rat lying beside Ye Cheng seemed to be alarmed by something and began to bark.

Ye Cheng suddenly opened his eyes.

He is sensitive to the sound of the Baoxiang rat.

So I woke up all at once.

Just as he was about to touch the Baoxiang mouse with his hand, he suddenly stopped, his ears moved slightly, and he vaguely heard movement in the bamboo forest outside.

How could anyone be here at such a late hour?

Could it be that Aunt Yu Zhen Daogu came back in the middle of the night?

.......

In the bamboo forest.

Two dark shadows appeared.

The weather is good tonight, the full moon hangs high, and the moonlight shines hazy on the entire bamboo forest, as if covered with a thin silver veil.

"This should be it."

"The one who lives here is Yu Zhen, the female disciple of the head of the Dange Pavilion, Yu Zhenren, who has been transferred away to participate in the task of guarding the road. Now there is a white ape here, which was raised by Yu Zhendao Master, and I heard that he is very smart and can read and write. ”

"Hehe, it's just a rumor, a beast, how smart can it be, and it can read and read...."

"Although the rumors are not credible, we still have to guard against them."

"Let's just keep it quiet, and if the white ape is alarmed, just solve it."

"We try not to startle the snake and leave a trace."

"Yes, then let's search first."

......

The two dark shadows whispered to each other.

After a while, the two of them dispersed, searching for something around the bamboo house.

At the moment, inside the bamboo house.

Ye Cheng had already covered the mouth of the Baoxiang rat to prevent it from squeaking.

He calmed down and tried to keep his snoring sound alive.

However, his other hand had already touched the sword of innocence.

Sneaking into the bamboo forest in the middle of the night, he is either a traitor or a thief, and he is definitely not a good person.

Yu Zhen Daogu is not here, just he is a white ape here, he is weak, it is too dangerous.

He didn't move now, pretending to be asleep, and didn't dare to go out to check.

He was just a white ape with a double aura, but he didn't want to cause trouble.

This is within the Chongyang Temple, and it should be difficult for outsiders to enter.

It is very likely that it is a person in the Chongyang Temple.

If it is someone outside, then the risk is even greater, dare to break into the Chongyang Temple in the middle of the night, it is impossible without strong strength.

Hours passed, and there was finally no movement outside.

It should be that the person has left.

Ye Cheng couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

During this time, his spirit has been in a high state of tension.

He didn't feel sleepy anymore, and stayed up until dawn, when Ye Cheng held the Baoxiang mouse and tiptoed out of the house.

It's quite quiet outside.

There was only the sound of birds chirping.

He walked around the courtyard a few times and found traces left by some people.

Of course, that is, he paid attention, and if he was an ordinary person, he couldn't see it at all.

"What do they seem to be looking for?"

After careful analysis, Ye Cheng came to a conclusion.

Could it be that there is something good hidden in this bamboo forest that attracts some people to look for it?

No, I haven't heard Aunt Yu Zhen talk about it before.

Moreover, he is very familiar with this bamboo forest, and almost every corner has left traces of him.

It's night again.

After Ye Cheng finished dinner, he left the bamboo house directly.

He was going to spend a few days outside.

It's not safe in the bamboo forest anymore.

Taking advantage of the night, Ye Cheng came to the outside of the bamboo forest and climbed directly onto a big tree by the lake.

It is densely wooded and close to the lake.

If he really wants to encounter danger, Ye Cheng can directly jump into the water to escape.

For his own safety, Ye Cheng will never be careless.

No matter how cautious you are, you can't be wrong.

It's nightfall.

Ye Cheng lay on a tree.

As a white ape, sleeping in a tree is a basic skill.

Bao Xiang Mouse was held in his arms.

It's late autumn now.

The weather was a little cooler.

However, Ye Cheng's cultivation has already doubled in the Qi realm, plus he is a white ape, with white hair, and his resistance to cold is much stronger than that of humans.

Ye Cheng didn't sleep.

He intended to sleep during the day and keep watch at night.

stayed up until late at night, Ye Cheng's ears suddenly moved, he heard a little movement, and immediately looked in the direction of the bamboo forest.

The location he chose was better, and if someone wanted to enter the bamboo forest, there were only two ways to go.

It happened to be under his observation.

Tonight is still sparse and starry, and with Ye Cheng's vision, he can still see it clearly.

I saw two black shadows sneaking into the bamboo forest.

They didn't seem to be aware that someone was spying on them.

"What the hell are these two people coming from?"

Ye Cheng was very curious in his heart.

But give him ten guts, and he won't dare to follow and see.

After all, his strength is too poor now.

Don't take unnecessary risks.

.....

Outside the bamboo house.

Two dark shadows slowly approached.

When I entered the house, I found nothing.

"Hey, the white ape isn't there?"

"It's normal, after all, it's a beast, and if it wasn't for Aunt Yu Zhendao, it should have run out. And it's better that way, we don't have to sneak around when we search. ”

"That's just as well."

The two began a more refined search, not letting go of every corner.

After searching the bamboo house, the two began to search in the bamboo forest again.

A few hours later.

Suddenly, a whistle sounded.

Another dark shadow hurriedly heard the sound and flew away.

Soon, the two converged in the depths of the bamboo forest.

"Found it?"

"I can't say for sure yet, but Panshi has a reaction."

The two of them stood under a bamboo.

And there is a soil hole at the root of this bamboo, and there is some broken soil piled up outside.

If Ye Cheng was there, he would find that this was the place where he laid a trap and caught the Baoxiang rat.

As a period of time has passed, all traces have disappeared except for the earth holes and the accumulation of debris.

Even the bushes and grasses that had been broken by the struggles of the Bao Xiang rats had almost recovered.

"I'll try."

Another dark figure pulled out a stone disc from his pocket, about the size of a palm, with a stone pointer in the middle.

When he placed the stone disc at the mouth of the earth cave, the stone pointer on it moved from side to side, as if it had been disturbed by something.

"Sure enough, there was a reaction, although the reaction was not strong, indicating that the entrance should be nearby."

The dark shadow spoke.

Next, the two of them used the stone nearby to detect it.

Finally, a position with the highest intensity was determined.

"It's almost dawn, we'll come back in the evening."

One of them said.

"That's it, but once you've got the location, it's easy."

The other nodded.

So the two of them went back the way they came.

Ye Cheng watched the two black shadows come out of the bamboo forest and disappear into the distance, and did not return to the bamboo house as soon as possible, but closed his eyes, preparing to make do with the trees and sleep.

The main worry is that these two people will go and return.

It's been dawn in the morning.

Ye Cheng returned to the bamboo house and found that someone had come in.

Because when he left the bamboo house, he put the white hair on his body in some key positions.

Without exception, these white hairs have been moved.

He was secretly glad that he didn't sleep in the bamboo hut at night, otherwise he would have to sit on wax.

"What the hell are they looking for?"

Ye Cheng was very curious in his heart.

After breakfast, Ye Cheng began to pursue the traces left by the two black shadows again.

Finally, he came to the dirt cave.

Judging by the traces of the scene, those two people stayed here the longest.

"Did they find something here?"

Ye Cheng began to take a closer look.

After a long time, he found nothing.

Ye Cheng's heart became more and more confused.

I wonder if those two people will come at night?

Anyway, he didn't dare to sleep in the bamboo hut.

He is now looking forward to Aunt Yu Zhen coming back as soon as possible.

In this way, he has a backer.

He is so worried and scared every day, and he doesn't rest well, and it also affects his practice.

I haven't seen it for just two days, and his flowing and supple white hair is a little messy and lacks luster.

It's all out of staying up late.
