The mountain road of Ape Cry Mountain is not easy to walk, rugged, potholes, and sometimes there are steep slopes and cliffs, winding and twisting.

But at this time, in the lush mountain forest, there is a group of seven people who are agile and move with far superior foot strength to ordinary people. Among the seven people, Wang Fugui, who has not yet set foot in the realm of martial artists, has not fallen behind. After all, after taking a lot of herbs to strengthen the muscles and bones, the current strength is enough to cope with the mountain road of the ape crying goat's intestines.

The Ape Cry Mountain is quite large, and the county lord Feng Jinfan did not provide more clues about the ape demon, so after the group of seven people discussed, they could only grope forward little by little, hoping to find the footprints left by the ape demon on the mountain road. Moreover, although three of the seven people in the group were from the three realms of the martial arts realm, they did not dare to search separately. One is because I'm not sure if there's only one ape. The second is that the ape demon is human-like, and he has opened up his intelligence, and his intelligence is no different from that of a human. In case you make a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain and put your real mind on these juniors of the first and second realms, it will be troublesome.

Just as the group of seven people was quietly moving forward, Han Shuangcheng, who was walking in the forefront, suddenly frowned and stopped first. Mo Shiping, who followed him, also stopped and stopped, his expression solemn, and a few feet away in front of him, there was a bloody mess.

There were several deep ravines left on the muddy mountain ground, and several towering ancient trees around it were all broken at the waist, scattered with blood-stained clothes, broken limbs, and wreckage. More than a month has passed, and after several mountain rains, this scene is still left, and the tragic scene at that time can be seen.

"It seems that this is the place where the old headhunter and his party of four encountered the ape demon. Han Shuangcheng sighed lightly and squatted down to carefully observe the traces of the fight.

Shen Lingyun also frowned slightly, glanced around, and said: "Judging from the signs of these ancient trees breaking, the foundation of that ape demon is extremely solid, far beyond the ordinary martial arts Three Realms, and it is very likely to be the peak of the Three Realms. ”

Yang Chuanjun in the rear nodded, narrowed his eyes slightly, clenched his fists, and then said in an unprecedented deep voice: "This ape demon is very difficult to deal with." ”

Mo Shiping and Wang Fugui glanced at each other, both a little worried. Being able to make the monks of the three martial arts and three realms at the same time make a not simple evaluation, it can be seen that the strength of the ape demon is afraid that it exceeds their expectations.

Han Shuangcheng stood up, silently calculated in his heart, and said softly: "With the strength of our feet, I haven't even reached the halfway point of the mountain here." And the ape demon has opened his wisdom and knows how to avoid evil, so he will inevitably hide in the depths of the mountains and forests, at least more than halfway up the mountain, and it is likely to be somewhere on the top of the mountain. And the old headhunter and others encountered the ape demon here, and it is very likely that the ape demon noticed it early, deliberately ambushed them here, and launched a sneak attack by surprise. ”

Hearing this, Shen Lingyun thought for a moment, nodded and agreed: "Han Daoyou's guess is reasonable. That also means that it is very likely that our group of seven people has been exposed, but the ape demon hiding in the dark knows that he is invincible, so he has not made a move. ”

Hearing this, Su Dui behind him was so frightened that he looked around the trees in a panic, for fear that a black shadow would suddenly appear from somewhere. Although Su Duan is a martial artist, his cultivation foundation is built up by the countless resources of the family behind him, and he himself has not suffered from cultivation, let alone has experience in fighting with people. This time, he was forced to follow Shen Lingyun down the mountain from the Hanging Mountain Sect to practice, which was the request of his master, that is, the head of the Hanging Mountain Sect.

Just when everyone was vigilant, Su Yanmeng, who was dressed as a man, widened his eyes in surprise after carefully inspecting the scene of the fight.

"Why are there no footprints of ape demons in the footprints everywhere?"

When everyone heard this, they immediately leaned over to take a closer look, and it was really as Su Yanmeng said. Among the remaining footprints on the mud floor, they were all made by human boots, but there were no footprints of apes.

"How can this be? Could it be that it's not the ape demon fighting the old headhunter, but someone else?" Mo Shiping said softly, and at the same time, a slight chill appeared in his heart. If it is really as he said, then the water of this ape cry mountain is deep, and it is not only the ape demon to guard against.

Han Shuangcheng shook his head, was stunned for a while, and suddenly smiled: "That's not the case, the old headhunter did meet the ape demon, which the county lord said himself yesterday." Han has a bold guess, this ape demon is not like other monsters, and has a humanoid temperament, will he also wear clothes and boots?"

Han Daoyou's words are incredible, but they are also the most reasonable explanation at present. Su Yanmeng quietly glanced at Han Shuangcheng, quickly retracted his gaze, and took the lead in echoing.

Yang Chuanjun's face darkened at the moment, and he silently moved a small step closer to Su Yanmeng's side.

Everyone was thinking about this footprint, and no one noticed this small detail, except for Wang Fugui, who had a strange face, and Han Shuangcheng, who smiled and didn't say anything.

Shen Lingyun bent down and picked up a handful of soil, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently, and said in a deep voice: "The smell of blood is extremely light, it should have been more than a month, which is in line with the time when the old headhunter and his party were attacked." And after the old headhunter came back, he also shouted that he saw the monster, so thinking about it, most of it is like Han Daoyou said, the ape demon is on the foot, and the monkey is crowned. ”

"Isn't that just the same as a human?" Mo Shiping's eyes widened in surprise, in disbelief.

Shen Lingyun nodded and said with a smile: "Except for the appearance, it is indeed no different from a person." There was a saying in the spirit and ghost talk that Shen had read, ten thousand beasts practiced, and when they stepped on the three realms, they were born and wise, and they were called demons. Stepping on the Six Realms can speak human words, incarnate in human form, and be called a big demon. However, the big demon in the world is not treated by people after all, although he is good at hiding his traces, but there will be a day when he is caught, so it is very rare. ”

Mo Shiping frowned and pondered, this kind of thing is no different from the real dragon mentioned before, it is all from the miscellaneous history of spirits and ghosts, I am afraid it is not credible.

But Han Shuangcheng on the side nodded unexpectedly, and said softly: "Han Mou has also read about this kind of thing in the book before, and he specially asked the master, and there is indeed a big demon who said this." In addition to humans, all beasts in the world are demons. However, they are often just little demons who have become spirits, and once the big demons of the Six Realms and even the Sky Breaking Realm appear, they will be killed by the great monks. ”

When everyone heard this, they had different thoughts, but none of them felt that there was anything wrong. In addition to Mo Shiping, he remembered the wolf demon he had encountered in the Big Turtle Mountain.

"Why do they have to be killed, maybe they don't have the intention of harming people. Mo Shiping frowned and muttered.

Shen Lingyun was stunned for a moment, and then smiled dumbly: "If it is not my race, its heart will be different." After all, demons are transformed by ten thousand beasts, and they are always cruel and tyrannical in their bones, and leaving them in the world will cause trouble sooner or later. Just like this ape demon, the old headhunter and his group of four people died at its hands, if they are not eradicated as soon as possible, they will definitely kill hundreds of thousands of innocent people in Ape Cry Town in the future. When the time comes, I'm afraid it's too late. Can the seven of us afford to take on this responsibility?"

Mo Shiping didn't answer, he was silent, just sighed softly.

"I think this little Taoist friend is moved by compassion, and his original intention is not a bad thing. Su Yanmeng said softly, and hurriedly played a round to relieve the sudden heavy atmosphere.

Shen Lingyun shook his head and said no more. It's just that I have a little disdain for this swarthy boy in my heart. Cultivators who fight and kill still want to learn from the old monk to talk about compassion? Even if there is nothing to be achieved in his life.

Wang Fugui gently patted Mo Shiping's shoulder. Among so many people, only Wang Fugui took it for granted that Mo Shiping could say those words.

Han Shuangcheng smiled, he didn't expect this Senior Brother Mo to be so kind-hearted. But he wouldn't be stupid enough to defend Mo Shiping. Since ancient times, people are people, demons are demons, and there is nothing to sympathize with.

"Keep going, it's not a problem to wait here. Otherwise, after sunset, the sky in the mountains will be darker, which will not be conducive to our actions. Han Shuangcheng looked up at the sky and suggested softly.

Naturally, the group had no objections and decided to move on. It's just that Mo Shiping and Han Shuangcheng said hello, and immediately gathered the bloodstained clothes and severed limbs in the mud with Wang Fugui and dug a small pit to bury them in it. During this period, Su Du also leaned over to take a hand.

The remaining four people naturally waited aside, and they didn't plan to set off first, otherwise it would be bad for the three people who were caught by the ape demon and left alone.

Han Daoyou's two juniors and disciples are quite interesting, which makes the little girl admire. Su Yanmeng took a small step closer to Han Shuangcheng and spoke softly.

Han Shuangcheng looked at Su Yanmeng with a smile and said, "My two junior disciples have just entered the cultivation, and they are not very old, and they still have some childishness on their bodies. However, this childishness also made Han feel ashamed. ”

Su Yanmeng nodded, smiled and said nothing, but the palm of his right hand had already unconsciously pressed against the hilt of the sword.

Yang Chuanjun on the side caught a glimpse of this scene, and immediately turned dark, and twitched the corners of his mouth, but he was afraid that the little junior sister would see her awkward appearance, so she had to turn her head away and turn her back to the two of them, out of sight.

Yang Chuanjun felt bitter in his heart, he had known Su Yanmeng for five or six years, and the little junior sister who had always been heroic had never called herself a little girl. But since I met this little white face named Han Shuangcheng, today I have called myself a little woman for the second time. Moreover, when her little sister is nervous, she will always unconsciously hold the hilt of the sword with the palm of her right hand. Yang Chuanjun, who glimpsed this scene, became more and more bitter in his heart, and only felt that the sky had fallen halfway.

In fact, Han Shuangcheng also has a good impression of Su Yanmeng in his heart, but it is not a good impression of the relationship between men and women. But Han Shuangcheng felt that Su Yanmeng's heroic heroine style was also in a unique style.

...

At this time, in a wide place near the top of the Ape Mountain, there was an ape wearing a green shirt sitting on the branch of a towering old tree, holding a book in his hand, and was turning the pages with relish.

After looking at it for a while, the ape gently put down the book, rubbed his dry eyes, and sighed slightly. The book tells the story of a pair of infatuated women who have grudges and love and kill each other. The ape has not yet seen the end, but has roughly guessed the ending, and I am afraid that the tragedy will be the finale.

The ape frowned and thought about it, the idiot in the book is named Xia Jifeng, and the resentful girl is named Qiu Langyue, and it is Ji Feng Langyue when you read it continuously. It's obviously a very good moral point, but why is the storyline so abrasive?

Thinking of this, the ape sighed heavily, dropped the book in his hand, and looked up at the sky in the distance. This kind of bullshit ending, just don't watch it.

The ape suddenly remembered the strange man in a black robe. More than a month ago, the man flew to Ape Cry Mountain, came straight to him, and said with a smile: "Come and make a deal with you." ”

said it was a sale, but in fact, it was the black-robed man who bought and sold it. The black-robed man promised to help the ape enter the three realms of martial arts and start to open his mind. In exchange, the ape had to help him kill a few people, a few of whom would visit the mountain after a month.

If the ape agrees, it will naturally be mutually beneficial. If the ape doesn't agree, he slaps the ape to death.

The ape remembered that the black-robed man seemed to have a warm face, but in fact, there was a cold look in the depths of his eyes. The ape immediately understood that if he didn't agree, the man would really slap himself to death.

At that time, the ape was already the pinnacle of the second realm of martial arts, and it was only a trace away from stepping into the third realm, and he could understand some of the meaning of the man's words, so he had to nod and agree.

The black-robed man smiled and handed it a medicinal herb. After the ape took it, when it broke through the bottleneck that had plagued it for many years, it cultivated all the way to the peak of the Three Realms.

Then, the wise ape bowed and bowed to the black-robed man. But the black-robed man smiled and said, "No need. You and I are just reciprocal. ”

The black-robed man thought for a moment, flipped his hand and handed another book to the ape: "I made a lot of money this time. According to the rules, I should give you more gifts. This is a book that teaches people to read and write, if you are interested, you can take a look. When the time comes, you will understand that in addition to boring practice, there is a lot of fun in this world. ”

"Besides, I'll give you another creation. Since then, they have not owed each other, and they have been in accordance with the rules. Then, with a flick of his fingers, a white light flew into the ape's body.

With that, the black-robed man flew high and disappeared into the sky.

The ape is intelligent by nature, and it read the book that taught people to enlighten literacy, and it also learned to read and write. After that, the ape took advantage of the moonlight to go down the mountain, and when the residents of Ape Cry Town were asleep, he went to the book store in the town and stole dozens of books and brought them back to Ape Cry Mountain to read.

Later, the ape read the sentence in a book: "A green shirt is like a jade, a scholar." That night, the ape quietly slipped down the mountain and went to the town to steal a green shirt, a pair of leather boots, a crown, and a jade pendant.

The ape first touched the green shirt with affection, and then carefully held these treasures in his arms and sneaked back to the ape cry mountain. It's just that on the mountain road of Ape Cry Mountain, it happened to meet a group of four people led by an old headhunter.
