Volume 1: Guangyue Kingdom Chapter Seventy-Four: Monkey Sparring
After quietly cultivating for a few days, the monkey demon who had been defeated by Lu Xiaoan before actually came again. It looked at Lu Xiaoan from a distance, and actually showed a provocative expression.
Lu Xiao'an is happy, if this is seen, he still thinks that he was defeated last time!
Without any communication, Lu Xiaoan went directly to the open space cut out before.
Then the monkey demon did not go with him, but bared his teeth and shouted for a while, as if to say: "What kind of ability is it to go to the clearing, there is a kind of fighting with your monkey grandfather in the forest for three hundred rounds." ”
Lu Xiaoan thought about it, he won before, proving that his body is stronger than this monkey demon, and it is really not interesting to continue to fight like this, only by challenging higher difficulties can he progress faster!
Of course, progress is also gradual, and it is impossible for him to fight with the monkey demon in the tree as soon as he comes.
Therefore, Lu Xiaoan walked to the big tree where the monkey demon was, then raised his head and pointed at it, and shouted: "There is a fight under the seed!"
I don't know if the monkey demon can understand it, but anyway, it really came down.
The war was about to break out, and the monkey demon continued to show his ability to toss and turn, while Lu Xiaoan continued to have no choice. After beating Lu Xiaoan for a while, the monkey demon actually bared his teeth and showed a mocking expression, so angry that Lu Xiaoan almost wanted to take out a magic knife and cut down a few trees around him.
In the end, Lu Xiaoan still held back, he felt that he was really going to do this, and the monkey demon probably wouldn't come again. What a sparring partner, just suitable for Lu Xiaoan's current strength, and he doesn't charge money, where can he find it when he runs away?
Calming down, Lu Xiaoan felt that it didn't matter if he was beaten for the time being, as long as he couldn't kill him, it would make him stronger.
After being beaten for a while, Lu Xiaoan finally got used to the rhythm of the monkey demon. With the power of the magic boots, Lu Xiaoan suddenly jumped back, and then grabbed the tail of the monkey demon. The monkey demon was taken aback, but now it was useless to do anything.
After pressing the monkey demon to the ground and beating it violently, Lu Xiaoan let it go, he was mainly angry, and he didn't hurt the monkey demon, otherwise the monkey demon really wouldn't come, and it was Lu Xiaoan himself who suffered.
So, the monkey demon came every day for the next few days, and Lu Xiaoan also found out that he used the monkey demon as a whetstone, and the monkey demon didn't have the same thoughts?
One person and one monkey have also formed a tacit understanding, and they no longer roar at each other when they meet, they will just start drying, and they will not leave without hitting both sides with blue noses and swollen faces.
But after all, Lu Xiaoan's progress was faster, and after five days, he found that there was no pressure to fight with the monkey demon in the magic boots.
So on the sixth day, Lu Xiaoan didn't use the power of the magic boots, but the monkey demon stopped after a while, looked at Lu Xiaoan with a puzzled look, and "squeaked" and gestured, as if asking: "Why did you kid become weaker?"
Lu Xiaoan smiled "hehe", hooked his finger at the monkey demon, and said, "Even if you go up, in less than two days, Lao Tzu will be able to press you to the ground again." ”
I don't know if it was because the monkey demon understood or because Lu Xiaoan's gesture made it feel humiliated, so it rushed towards Lu Xiaoan with a roar.
Without the boots, Lu Xiaoan really couldn't keep up with the speed of the monkey demon, and was beaten by the monkey demon.
However, Lu Xiaoan discovered that although the first layer of his Heavenly Demon Forging Body had already been cultivated, it stands to reason that it would be impossible for him to become stronger before cultivating the second layer. But the truth is that after so many days, he has indeed been beaten more than before.
If Lu Xiao'an had just met the monkey demon, he would have vomited blood if he was beaten like this, and now although it still hurts, it is basically only painful.
After beating Lu Xiao'an's nose and swollen face, the monkey demon suddenly jumped onto the tree, and then looked at Lu Xiaoan with a smile in a downward attitude, this was its first big victory, so it looked very proud.
Lu Xiaoan rubbed his swollen face and said, "Don't be crazy, Lao Tzu will come back tomorrow." ”
Although it is a bit strange to call a monkey 'Lao Tzu', not calling 'Lao Tzu' is not enough to express Lu Xiaoan's resentment.
The morning sun was like a breeze, waking Lu Xiaoan up from his cultivation state, and a night's cultivation also dissolved the bruises all over his body.
Lu Xiaoan opened his eyes, and unconsciously began to miss the monkey demon, thinking that that guy should have set off towards him.
Sure enough, as soon as Lu Xiaoan moved his body down the tree, the monkey demon came, still with the pride of the victor, and Lu Xiaoan wanted to punch its mouth.
There is no mutual expression, and the scorching war intent in the eyes of both sides is the best expression. The monkey demon jumped down, grabbed a thick branch and swung it when it was about to fall to the ground, and kicked Lu Xiaoan in a circle in the air.
This kind of attack with the momentum of the fall could not be resisted by Lu Xiaoan's current strength, so he could only dodge. However, the monkey demon actually learned to strike east and west here with Lu Xiaoan, only to see that it suddenly retracted its legs, and a fruit of an unknown tree in its hand smashed into Lu Xiaoan's head.
"Smack!"
Although it didn't hurt, the red, yellow, red and yellow flesh made Lu Xiaoan's face paste, and the monkey demon laughed "haha", and actually rolled on the ground.
Lu Xiaoan was extremely depressed, he was a human being, and he was actually played by a monkey, this feeling was as disgusting as being fooled by someone for some reason.
The extreme anger suddenly erupted, and Lu Xiaoan pounced on the monkey demon, but his speed was still a little slower without the help of the magic boots, and the monkey demon seemed to be rolling with laughter, but in fact, he did not relax his vigilance.
Therefore, Lu Xiaoan pounced. And the monkey demon jumped back after kicking in the tree, kicking Lu Xiao'an's back with both feet. Lu Xiaoan was kicked and chewed, and his heart became more and more angry.
But it always takes a process to become stronger, although Lu Xiao'an's speed is not much different from the monkey demon, but the flexibility is always a little behind, this is the innate gap of the species, but it cannot be made up in a short time.
Of course, this is another day when Lu Xiaoan was violently beaten.
In the next few days, Lu Xiaoan gradually became stronger in the process of being beaten, and after another five days, he was already able to barely resist the attack of the monkey demon, but if he wanted to beat the monkey demon in turn, he needed to go further.
Just when Lu Xiaoan was beaten by a monkey, Zhou Zhaoyue and Mo Rugui fled to the edge of Yunze Forest with more than a dozen disciples of the Immortal Sect.
In fact, Xiao Daoyao let Zhou Zhaoyue escape with his disciples alone, and the others stayed to buy time for them, and at the age of Mo Ru, he really should stay and live and die with the sect. But when Xiao Daoyao decided to send away the elite disciples, Mo Rugui took the initiative to find him.
"Master, Mo Rugui has a reluctant request. ”
Mo Rugui and Xiao Daoyao are people of the same generation, and they can barely be regarded as Xiao Daoyao's senior brothers, so Xiao Daoyao is very polite to him.
"Elder Mo, please speak. ”
Mo Rugui said: "Before Lu Xiao'an and Xiao Lu'er, I accepted a total of thirty-seven disciples, all of whom died in the battle for the sect, and now Lu Xiao'an's life and death are unknown, so please allow me to be selfish once, I want to personally escort Xiao Lu'er away." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Daoyao also sighed deeply. Mo Rugui knew that he was not a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death, and not to mention that so many disciples died for the sect, he himself had made a lot of contributions to the Immortal Gate.
Xiao Daoyao sighed: "It's useless for me to be the head." ”
Mo Rugui said: "The head of the sect does not need to blame himself, Duxianmen will not die because of this, as long as he survives this catastrophe, I think Duxianmen will become stronger and stronger." ”
Xiao Daoyao nodded and said, "Then the future of the Immortal Gate will be entrusted to you, Senior Brother." ”
Mo Rugui said: "Don't worry, the boss is that I will never send a white-haired person to a black-haired person again." ”
Mo Rugui didn't want to steal his life, he was ready to die a long time ago, but his selfishness was only to die for his disciples, not for the sect.
Just when everyone was about to enter the Yunze Forest, Mo Rugui suddenly stopped Zhou Zhaoyue and said, "Lu'er, I'll ask you, she was supposed to be your disciple, and I also know that this matter makes you angry, but I still have to lick this old face to beg you." ”
Zhou Zhaoyue was stunned, and Xiao Luer also called "Master".
The people of the Xia Jian Sect hadn't chased after them yet, so they didn't understand what Mo Rugui was going to do.
Mo Rugui said: "The Yunze Forest is very large, after you go in, you should be able to escape the pursuit of the Xia Jian Sect by taking a detour to the south." ”
Xiao Lu'er hurriedly asked, "What about you, Master?"
Mo Rugui also touched Xiao Lu'er's head and said, "Master is old, and he doesn't have many years to live, so let's buy some time for you here!"
Zhou Zhaoyue said: "They didn't chase after them, why didn't they run away together?"
Mo Rugui said: "You should also know that when they catch up, we may not be able to escape, so it is better to use my old bones to fight for you more opportunities." ”
Zhou Zhaoyue wanted to say something, but Mo Rugui suddenly threw her a small jade bottle and said, "This is my disciple's filial piety to me, it's useless for me to take it, just treat it as a little reparation for your apprentice robbed by my uncle." ”
"Master!"
Xiao Lu'er's eyes were full of tears, she hadn't felt it before, but at this time she realized that it was very good to treat herself.
Mo Rugui said: "Okay, hurry up, if you can't escape, the master will die in vain." ”
Zhou Zhaoyue looked at Mo Rugui, and then said, "Don't worry, I will naturally try my best to protect her." ”
After speaking, Zhou Zhaoyue pulled the reluctant Xiao Luer and left.
Xiao Lu'er suddenly burst into tears, she remembered that a few years ago, she had the same experience, and she didn't understand why tragic things always happened to her.
Zhou Zhaoyue was much more rational, although he was also uncomfortable in his heart, he did not hesitate to disappear into the forest with Xiao Luer and others.
Mo Rugui stayed outside the Yunze Forest alone, and even took out a pot of wine and drank it. After a little while, Ling Yi Sword Master finally led people to chase here.
Seeing Ling Yi Sword Master, Mo Rugui didn't have any hatred, but smiled like an old friend greeting him: "After so many years, we finally met again." ”
Ling Yi Sword Master was stunned for a moment, and said in some surprise: "It's actually you!"
Mo Rugui said: "Yes, it's me, I'm not dead yet." ”
Ling Yi Sword Master frowned, he remembered that more than a hundred years ago, when he had just broken through to the Qi Sea Realm, he went to challenge the Qi Sea Realm master of the Immortal Gate in high spirits. After winning two in a row, he was defeated by one man, and that person was no return.
However, at that time, he was unwilling to lose, so he attacked him when Mo Rugui turned around, hurting his dantian.
Therefore, Mo Rugui's real age is actually not too big, at least not as old as he looks. The Qi Sea Realm cultivator had a lifespan of five hundred years, while Mo Rugui was less than four hundred years old, and it was precisely because of the injury to the dantian that his lifespan was reduced so much.
Ling Yi Sword Master has always been ashamed of this matter, not because he felt guilty because he was injured, but because he felt that it was against the sword cultivation spirit to not be able to afford to lose a sneak attack. It was precisely because of this that Ling Yi's cultivation speed, which was extremely talented, slowed down, and finally was overtaken by Qiu Jian, who was originally inferior to him.
Facing Mo Rugui again, Ling Yi Sword Master felt that this was an opportunity to untie the knot in his heart, so he said, "This time, I want to defeat you with dignity." ”
Mo Rugui chuckled, but said, "I'm sorry, I didn't plan to fight you in a dignified manner." ”
Ling Yi Sword Master didn't care about this, and said to the person behind him: "You continue to chase, this person will be handed over to me." ”
Mo Rugui suddenly took out a talisman and said, "Before I die, no one should think about taking a step in the past." ”
Of the people who pursued this time, only Ling Yi Sword Master was a Qi Sea Realm cultivator, and the other more than ten people were all from the Tongmai Realm. The main reason was that Qiu Jian was not sure that Lu Xiao'an must be in the Immortal Gate, so the rest of the Xia Jian Sect scattered and went everywhere to find Lu Xiao'an.
But no one could have imagined that at this time, Lu Xiaoan was cultivating in Yunze Forest, and it took a few days for Lu Xiaoan to finally catch and beat the monkey demon without the help of magic boots.
So, in order to pursue further stimulation, Lu Xiaoan took the initiative to go up the tree and wanted to defeat the monkey demon in the environment that it was best at.
The monkey demon looked very angry, but its anger was not directed at Lu Xiao'an, but at the point why the cultivation speed of the demon beast was far inferior to that of humans?
Although the monkey demon is far more intelligent than other demon beasts, it obviously still can't understand many things in the Knowing Realm. For example, many animals are naturally stronger than humans, and demon beasts are naturally much longer than humans, if cultivation is still faster than humans, then there is no place for humans in this world for a long time.
Fortunately, it can't speak yet, otherwise Lu Xiaoan would definitely have to preach with it.
If fighting a monkey demon in a clearing is an easy difficulty, then in a tree it is definitely a hellish difficulty. Lu Xiao'an was a little inconvenient to even move on the tree, but the monkey demon was walking on the ground.
No, it's not accurate to walk on flat ground, because monkey demons are far more agile in trees than on the ground, like fish in water.
Lu Xiaoan is already very self-aware, and he used magic boots after going up the tree, but even so, he is still far from being the opponent of the monkey demon. The monkey demon is like a fish in water on the tree, and Lu Xiaoan is also like entering the water on the tree, restrained everywhere.
I saw that the monkey demon grabbed the branch and flew away, Lu Xiaoan wanted to chase, but the branch broke under the hard step, not only did he not fly out, but he also fell down. The monkey demon took this opportunity to swing back and kicked Lu Xiaoan to the ground with one kick.
Falling from a tree nearly ten zhang high, coupled with a kick from the monkey demon, even Lu Xiaoan's body still spurted out a mouthful of blood, although he didn't break his bones, his whole body was in pain like falling apart.
The monkey demon stood on the tree and smiled proudly, but did not take the opportunity to attack Lu Xiaoan. Lu Xiaoan slowed down for a long time before finally standing up.
At this time, Xiao Ai said: "Animals like apes are very good at grasping the soles of their feet, and they are no different from their hands in trees, and you wear shoes, although they can increase your speed, but it is extremely inconvenient to move in trees." ”
After Xiao Ai's reminder, Lu Xiaoan immediately understood that he should not give up his flexibility in the tree for a little speed advantage. So, Lu Xiaoan took off his magic boots, put them in a storage bag, and went up the tree again.
While human feet are nowhere near as good for moving around trees as monkeys, they are much better than flat, stiff soles. And after fighting for so many days, Lu Xiaoan gradually figured out the way the monkey demon moved on the tree, it basically didn't need to jump, it was all swinging.
As a result, Lu Xiaoan also began to learn to move on the tree with his hands, and his feet to attack. Although the monkey demon learned cunning in Lu Xiaoan, if you want to say that the learning ability is definitely stronger than humans.
At first, Lu Xiaoan was still not as good as the monkey demon, and was kicked a few times by the monkey demon, and then Xiao Ai said: "Although you have no concept of mechanics in this world, this is indeed the use of centrifugal force, you listen to my command, you should be able to find that feeling after a few times." ”
Sure enough, under Xiao Ai's command, Lu Xiaoan found that he had also become more flexible in the trees, because his body was stronger, and his movement speed was not slower than that of the monkey demon at all. Gradually, the monkey demon had nothing to do with Lu Xiaoan, and Lu Xiaoan finally launched a counterattack after being beaten for many days.
After defeating the monkey demon in the tree, the monkey demon can no longer be Lu Xiaoan's sparring partner, but Lu Xiaoan obviously can't do something ungrateful, even if the other party is just a demon beast.
Because of the charm leopard, Lu Xiaoan had already looked at the demon beast as a human, so whether the other party understood it or not, he still said: "Thank you for so many days, even if this is not your intention, but you have really made me a lot stronger." ”
Naturally, it was impossible for the monkey demon to politely say 'no thanks', but bared his teeth and called out, his expression was a little unconvinced.
Lu Xiaoan smiled dumbly and said, "Don't worry, I'm still cultivating in this place, if you are not convinced, you can come to me for revenge at any time." ”
It doesn't matter if the monkey demon understands it or not, anyway, Lu Xiaoan started to chase the monkey and said, "That's it for today, I'm going to cultivate." ”
The monkey demon bared its teeth at Lu Xiao'an again, and then left in swing.
After practicing against the monkey demon for more than half a month, although Lu Xiaoan's cultivation has not yet reached the fourth level of qi training, he obviously feels that he has become stronger.
In fact, his strength and speed have not improved significantly, but he has become more resistant to beating, but the main thing is that he has become more agile, and his use of strength has become more full and accurate. In Xiao Ai's words, he used to be blindly rigid, but now he is rigid and soft.
