Chapter 50 Ape Cry Mountain Outside Ape Cry Town
The sky was bright, and Ape Town, which was located hundreds of miles northwest of Qingluo Town, came with a group of three people and two horses, and hurriedly entered the city after verifying their identities.
The three of them are Han Shuangcheng, Mo Shiping and Wang Fugui, who came down from the Imperial Spirit Sect. The three of them rented two fast horses from Qingluo Town, Han Shuangcheng rode one alone, and Mo Shiping and Wang Fugui rode one together.
Originally, Wang Fugui also wanted to try a single horse, but the money bag was empty, and even the money for the two of them to lease the horse was paid in advance by Han Shuangcheng, so naturally he had to dispel the idea, and he regretted it in his heart. During the three-day journey, Wang Fugui complained in a whisper more than once: "I regret that I shouldn't have bought two pots of Penglai spring wine." A pot, a pot is enough! Anyway, it's all a matter of urine. ”
Compared with Qingluo Town, Ape Cry Town has a scale pattern, business and trade, and a prosperous and lively degree. The three of them handed over the horses to the local stables that specialized in raising horses, which was not expensive, and it was only a few dollars of silver.
At that moment, Han Shuangcheng was not in a hurry to inquire about the ape that had become a spirit, but took the two junior disciples around the ape town. Mo Shiping and Wang Fugui were shy in their pockets, and they didn't buy it just by looking at it. And Han Shuangcheng was rich and wealthy, and he waved his hand and bought a number of gadgets. The folding fan with the inscription of the famous artist, the simple and chic jade pendant, and the biographical books about the local feng shui people, Han Shuangcheng bought them with a smile, and he didn't talk about the price. After buying it, Han Shuangcheng walked out of the store, and as soon as he flipped his hand, these gadgets disappeared out of thin air.
"Senior Brother Han also has a jade realm?" Mo Shiping asked with a smile.
When Han Shuangcheng heard this, he pretended to be surprised, and then asked with a smile: "Senior Brother Mo also has the Jade Realm?"
"Yes. Mo Shiping smiled and nodded. Since the three of them are walking together, being honest with each other is the foundation of mutual trust.
"That's right. Han's jade realm was picked up in the sect at the beginning, and no one wanted it, so Han was naturally not welcome. Han Shuangcheng said softly, looking at the two of them with a smile, and there was no trace of emptiness in his expression.
Wang Fugui on the side glanced at Han Shuangcheng suspiciously. At that moment, when the old man in charge handed him the evil treasure mirror, he was quite neat, but when he handed him the jade realm, the hand holding it trembled obviously. Wang Fugui saw at that moment that this jade world should be a treasure worth much more than the bronze mirror, so he decided to give the jade world to Mo Shiping. Such a precious magic weapon, said that he picked it up, Wang Fugui didn't believe it.
"Senior Brother Han is not only stupid and has a lot of money, but he is also lucky, which makes Senior Brother envious. Wang Fugui deliberately said in a weird way.
Mo Shiping naturally didn't believe it. However, since Han Shuangcheng said so, he didn't want to ask more. In this world, there are two kinds of liars. The first type of person lies in order to cover up the truth and lead a situation in his favor, with a purpose. The second type of person lies purely for the purpose of lying, without any purpose. For Han Shuangcheng, Mo Shiping is more inclined to think that he is the second kind of person.
In fact, in Han Shuangcheng's understanding, he was not lying. This jade realm was the reward he asked for from the sect when he won the sect's trial for the first time. Then no one in this jade world wants it, or no one is qualified to take it except him.
At noon, a group of three people came to the most prosperous and lively street in Ape Town. Han Shuangcheng saw a quaint wine flag fluttering in the wind from a distance, and immediately led the two to the tavern.
"Jolly Forest. Good name. At noon, the sun was dazzling, and Han Shuangcheng couldn't help but squint his eyes, and lightly read the three simple characters on the tavern plaque.
"When you meet, you are a guest, and when you float a big white. Mo Shiping glanced at the couplet posted in front of the door, and immediately smiled dumbly. I saw that this was a couplet written to solicit customers, and it was smooth to read, but it was not neat at all. The person who wants to write couplets is also a half-baked scholar.
Wang Fugui on the side didn't think as much as the two of them thought, and wine was one of the few words he knew. He had also seen the pennant embroidered with wine characters from a distance before, and his heart was a little itchy at that time, and the wine worm in his mouth was also muttering quietly, at this time, he couldn't wait to immediately pull Han Shuangcheng and Mo Shiping in. But when he thought of the shyness in his pocket at the moment, most of the time he had to rub Han Shuangcheng's money bag with a cheeky face for this meal of wine and food, Wang Fugui had to wait patiently.
Fortunately, in the end, Han Shuangcheng didn't watch at the door much, and led the two into the "Happy Forest" tavern.
The three of them picked a wooden table in the corner and sat down.
"A few guest officers are facing each other, they must be outsiders, no. Our happy forest, that is a famous tavern in Ape Town, the price is fair, the wine is a must, and a few guest officials can really pick the ground. The shopkeeper who came to greet him was sharp-tongued, praising the three of them for their unique vision and touting the tavern.
Han Shuangcheng nodded with a smile, asked for a pot of burning knives, and ordered a few side dishes to accompany the wine. The shopkeeper happily wrote it down, and trotted to the back kitchen to prepare.
Wang Fugui on the side had a bitter face, thinking that Han Shuangcheng, who was generous, would order a few pots of famous wine, and come to a few plates of meat and wine to accompany the wine, who would have thought that in the end, as long as a pot of shoddy burning knives, a few cheap vegetables would be gone.
"Senior Brother Han's momentum in ordering this dish is far less majestic than when he bought gadgets with a big wave of his hand before. The more Wang Fugui thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, although he didn't pay for it, but this meal was a little cold.
Han Shuangcheng didn't mind at all, and said with a smile: "A gentleman is a good friend, a friend of benevolence and righteousness." The villain is ordered, and the joy of wine and food. ”
Wang Fugui glanced at Han Shuangcheng suspiciously, then turned his head and asked Mo Shiping in a low voice, "What do you mean, are you turning around and mocking me again?"
"Senior Brother Han's implication is to let us not care too much about food. Mo Shiping smiled and explained helplessly. Of course, he deliberately didn't say the sarcasm in Han Shuangcheng's words, otherwise according to Wang Fugui's character, he would quarrel again.
Wang Fugui nodded suspiciously, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense with Han Shuang.
After a while, the shopkeeper brought a pot of roasted knives and three or four hot side dishes to the table.
"Little Second Brother, I wonder if there is anything interesting about this Ape Cry Town?" Han Shuangcheng asked with a smile.
The shopkeeper scratched his head and glanced around the tavern, his face a little embarrassed. It was the best and busiest time of the day, and he couldn't find time to chat.
Just as the shopkeeper was pondering to find a reason to refuse, Han Shuangcheng smiled and took out a penny of silver and quietly stuffed it into his hand.
"A few guest officials don't know that this ape town is mostly a trader, all of them are doing business, and there is no scenic spot. If a few guest officials want to enjoy the mountains and rivers, they might as well go to the south for twenty or thirty miles, where there is a Luoyan town near the mountains and rivers, and many foreign guests are admiring it. The shopkeeper grabbed the money in his heart, his expression quietly changed from depression to joy, and he said a long sentence in one breath.
After that, the shopkeeper nodded slightly to the three of them, ready to turn around and continue to work. And Han Shuangcheng quickly took out a penny of silver and quietly stuffed it in his hand.
"Little second brother, I heard that there is not an ape mountain next to this ape cry town, can you tell me about it?"
The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, the two coins in his hand were indeed attractive. But if it is delayed any longer, I am afraid that the shopkeeper will see it, and I will have to roll up the lid and get out.
This is, Han Shuangcheng smiled and took out a penny of silver, and continued to stuff it in the small second-hand shop.
Half a month's salary! The shopkeeper first raised his eyes and quickly swept around the store, confirming that the old shopkeeper was not there, and then gritted his teeth and stuffed the three coins into his arms.
"Two or three miles away from here, there is indeed an Ape Cry Mountain, which is also the origin of the name of Ape Cry Town. It is said that more than ten years ago, this town was not called Ape Cry Town, but Golden Silk Town. Because the silk produced in the town is particularly famous, some of them are specially paid tribute. But since more than a decade ago, the townspeople have heard the sound of apes coming from the nearby mountains every night. Obviously two or three miles away, the Ape Cry Mountain is still majestic and loud, often scaring children to cry. ”
Over time, the town was renamed Ape Cry Town by the traders who came and went, and the mountain was also called Ape Cry Mountain. ”
Han Shuangcheng smiled and nodded, he had also read these when he was flipping through biographical books about local customs and customs, and it was not much different from what the shopkeeper said.
Seeing that Han Shuangcheng didn't look like he was going to continue to ask, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly turned around, and prepared to continue his work. But just after walking a few steps, the shopkeeper turned back again, his face a little worried.
"Don't a few guest officers want to go to the Ape Cry Mountain?"
Han Shuangcheng nodded and said with a smile: "What the little second brother said is so interesting, of course the three of us plan to take a look." ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly shook his head and said anxiously: "The guest officer can't go." This ape cry mountain is very dangerous, and there have been many famous headhunters for more than ten years who have never returned, and there must be a powerful monster in it. I heard that this time the county lord spent a lot of silver and invited a number of immortal Taoist priests to get rid of demons. Don't go these days, don't wait for a while, it's not too late for the monster to go again. ”
"That's right. That is naturally to listen to the little second brother, and he can't go to the Ape Cry Mountain, he can't go. Han Shuangcheng's face pretended to be stunned, and replied repeatedly.
The shopkeeper nodded reassuringly, turned around and continued to greet the other guests.
"It seems that most of the time is the same as Senior Brother Han's previous guess, there should be an ape on this Ape Cry Mountain, which is a tricky matter. Mo Shiping said softly. He still knows a little about the beast that has become a spirit, after all, he has encountered a cunning and deceitful wolf demon in the Great Turtle Mountain.
Han Shuangcheng nodded noncommittally, and said with a smile: "This place is about two or three miles away from Ape Cry Mountain, and being able to roar in Ape Cry Mountain can be transmitted here in a loud voice, which shows that this ape demon's physique is extraordinarily horizontal, and most of them are from the middle of the Three Realms to the peak of the Three Realms." If there is only one, it is only tricky, but if there are two or more, it is not easy. ”
When Mo Shiping heard this, he frowned. He subconsciously thought that there was only one ape demon. If there were two or more, he asked himself if he could fight back. Ape humans, compared to wolf demons, are definitely more agile in action. And it is in the mountains and forests, it may be easy to keep him who has just entered the realm and Wang Fugui, who has not yet entered the realm.
"However, Senior Brother Mo doesn't have to worry too much, becoming a refined beast is not something that can be found casually, and it often needs to encounter precious heavenly and earthly treasures. So, in general, it's rare to have one, and two are unlikely. Han Shuangcheng smiled and said with relief, and at the same time uncovered the mud seal of the burning knife, poured a small half bowl by himself, and took a small sip.
Seeing this, Wang Fugui also unceremoniously took the wine jug and said with a smile: "Don't bother Senior Brother Han, I'll just come by myself." After that, he poured himself a big bowl first, and then added a small half bowl to Mo Shiping's bowl on the side.
Han Shuangcheng shook his head with a smile, estimating that Wang Fugui didn't know how powerful the beast that had become a spirit, that is, a demon.
Sure enough, after Wang Fugui took a sip of the burning knife, he lowered his voice and quietly asked Mo Shiping on the side: "The ape demon who has become a fine is so powerful?"
Although the voice was very soft, it was still clear to Han Shuangcheng, who was already in the three realms of martial arts.
"Senior Brother Wang doesn't know. The beast that has become a spirit, also known as a demon, has already begun to open its consciousness, and is usually equivalent to a monk in the three realms of martial arts. However, the demon beasts were born with strong physiques, so the monks of the Three Realms of ordinary martial artists were not their opponents. Han estimated that if Senior Brother Wang didn't have the talisman bronze mirror in his arms, he was afraid that the ape demon would be able to slap you to death. Han Shuangcheng looked at Wang Fugui with a smile, and deliberately lengthened his voice and said intimidatingly. Especially the last sentence, the bite is quite slow and heavy.
At that moment, Wang Fugui was so frightened that his face turned pale. He remembered that Han Shuangcheng, who claimed to be in the Three Realms of the Martial Arts Realm, had no power to fight back when he beat Mo Shiping in the dojo. If he had encountered an ape demon who was even more powerful than Han Shuangcheng, wouldn't he have died on the spot.
Thinking of this, Wang Fugui hurriedly reached out and touched the evil treasure mirror in his arms, and only then did he come to his senses a little. At the same time, he secretly prayed in his heart that the old man in charge did not deceive him, hoping that this talisman magic weapon could really block the blow of the Rock Realm according to what he said, and he would be able to count on this bronze mirror when he went to Ape Mountain.
Han Shuangcheng raised his eyebrows and quipped, "It's okay." Han Mou's cultivation is very powerful and helpful, and he will not leave you alone at critical moments. ”
Mo Shiping also nodded, he felt that Han Shuangcheng's words were serious. According to Han Shuangcheng's character, Han Shuangcheng's previous statement that he was only worthy of the Three Realms should be false. Mo Shiping speculated that Han Shuangcheng's true cultivation was at least in the middle of the Three Realms, and it might even be the peak of the Three Realms. If you only encounter an ape demon, you can't beat it, but it's not a problem to run away with them.
Thinking of this, Mo Shiping became much more settled, raised the wine bowl, and said softly: "Then there is Senior Brother Lao Han." ”
Han Shuangcheng also raised the wine bowl, touched it lightly, squinted his eyes and smiled: "You're polite, those who can work hard." ”
Seeing this, Wang Fugui immediately smiled, swept away the sick look before, and immediately raised the bowl and leaned in: "Sensei said, drink one first!"
