Chapter 3 Qingyun Mountain

As the saying goes: one day in heaven, one year on earth. That's true. Yun Qing named his child Yun Chong, who is also a year old this year. The villagers in the village often come to see him, and when they come, they must bring their own children, and they all want to be a little blessed and luxurious. Yunqing often goes to the mountains to hunt, which is good, the family is always in the market, and he will not worry about his wife and heavy son being lonely.

It's another year, and spring is coming. At this time, the hibernating animals wake up from their burrows, and it is the season when the prey is at its highest. The weather was fine today, Yunqing looked up at the sky, and there was not a single dark cloud in the sky. Since the day Yun was reborn, there has been no cloudy sky over Yunshui Village, and winter is no exception. Yun Qing thought in his heart: It seems that Chong'er is really a blessed star given to us by God.

Yun Chong, who is about to turn a year old, can't speak yet, but he can already "babble" to express his meaning, although this meaning can only be understood by Li Fu alone. Yesterday, Lev said that Chong'er wanted a fawn of his own. Yun Qing thought that this must be the result of Chong'er's "babbling". Therefore, today Yun Qing specially went up the mountain to catch a live deer for Yun Chong.

Yun Qing took a lot of arrows from the wooden house, and a very thick hemp rope, and naturally a bow. Hemp rope is used to make traps, and bows and arrows are naturally used to hunt some large animals. Today is the first day of the beginning of spring, Yunqing brought more arrows than usual today, and he wants to shoot a few more prey.

When he was about to reach the door, Yunzhong "babbled". Yun Qing looked back at him, not knowing why. Li Fu gently patted Yun Chong's back who was sitting on the bed, and said with a smile: "Chong'er wants to go hunting with you, and he wants to be a man now." ”

Yun Qing put the arrow belt on his shoulder, and the bow and rope also straddled his shoulder, and walked to the side of the bed to pick up Yun Chong. "In that case, then I'll take our little man with me to hunt. Li Fu wanted to stop it, but thinking that there should be nothing wrong with Yun Qing's presence, he watched him take Yun Zhong away.

The spring wind is blowing in the face without a hint of coolness. There are many wild flowers that cannot be named bloom on Qingyun Mountain, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, colorful, purple and red. Although the Yunqing family has been the hunter of this Qingyun Mountain for several generations, they only know a little about this mountain, and they have a glimpse of it. Qingyun Mountain is full of mystery. The sky was clear just now, and maybe it would rain heavily the next moment. What's even more surprising is that in addition to other common prey such as hares and pheasants, there are also some strange beasts. Calling them strange was because Yun Qing felt that they seemed to understand what he was saying.

Hunting alone is a very boring thing, and Yun Qing often mutters to himself in order to pass the time. Once, he hunted a few pheasants humming a little song down the mountain, and suddenly there was a heavy fog in the woods. In the middle of it, you can't see anything three steps away. As he walked, Yun Qing found that he seemed to be lost. While struggling to find a way out, the sound of the two talking came from the fog.

"Our feud has spread beyond the battle, and I'm afraid it will hurt that mortal. Fire Dragon, we'll try again another day. ”

"Hmph, Xuan Ape, I think you're scared. I'll get rid of a mortal first, and see what excuse you have. ”

Yun Qing felt a red light shooting towards him, and suddenly felt that the sky was dark and dizzy. At this moment, a white shadow flashed, and then all the discomfort on Yun Qing's body disappeared.

"This mortal is not ordinary, and I advise you not to act rashly. Otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind. ”

The one called "Fire Serpent" seemed to be frightened and stopped making a sound. There was a thunderclap in the sky, and all the clouds and mist were gone, as if they had never appeared.

Since that time, Yunqing has not hunted in the mountains for several days. But then in order to make ends meet, he had to venture into the mountains. Luckily, I never encountered anything like that weird again.

Looking at the familiar scenery in front of him, Yun Qing couldn't help but smile slightly. Looking at Qingyun Mountain from a distance makes people think that it is very small, it is simply a mound. But Yun Qing knew that Qingyun Mountain was boundless, at least since he started hunting with his father when he was ten years old, he had never seen the boundary of Qingyun Mountain. The most surprising thing for Yun Qing was that it seemed that only their Yun family could go to Qingyun Mountain. Someone had followed him before, but he disappeared as soon as he entered the mountain. Later, he asked the man what was going on, but he didn't know what was going on. The man said that since he entered the mountain, he had disappeared from Yunqing, and after looking for a long time, he found that he was wandering near Qingyun Mountain and had not entered the mountain at all. Later, the man tried to enter the mountain again, but to no avail. The rest of the village did the same. So some people joked that this Qingyun Mountain was given to them by God to the Yun family.

The terrain of Qingyun Mountain is relatively flat and not as rugged as people think. The mountain is full of plants, like a forest, and many of them are ancient trees. I heard from the old people in the village that the two big willow trees at the north entrance of the village were small saplings transplanted from Qingyun Mountain by an old ancestor of their Yun family. It is really possible that this is true, Yunqing has seen many willow trees of that size on the mountain.

Yun Qing found some delicate branches from the tree and made a basket, spread thick leaves on it, and then took off one of his clothes and spread it on it. Then put the cloud back inside. Isn't this just a little cradle? Looking at his masterpiece, Yun Qing was very proud.

After placing the cradle in a secret place, Yun Qing went hunting. Today his main task is to catch a fawn for his manly son.

Although Yun Zhong is not yet a year old, he can already walk tremblingly. Perhaps it was a little stuffy to stay in the basket, and Yun Zhong reached out and shook the edge of the basket. The basket toppled under his shake.

Yunzhong walked through the woods with unsteady steps, full of curiosity about everything around him. The birds singing in the trees, the pine trees jumping around, and so on, all made Yunzhong clap his hands happily when he saw them for the first time. A red-tailed squirrel jumps down from a tree with walnuts and chestnuts in his hands that it uses to survive the winter. The squirrel's big clear eyes flickered and blinked, and he sent the walnut and chestnut to Yunzhong, as if to get the little one who was younger than him to accept his gift.

For Yunzhong, it seems that the charm of walnuts and chestnuts is far less than that big red tail of the squirrel. This red-tailed squirrel is not ordinary, he is also a kind of divine beast. Although its level is low, if it can cultivate for a thousand years, it is also a divine beast that should not be underestimated.

After the red-tailed squirrel has cultivated for a thousand years, his whole body will turn red, and he can spit out the true fire of Samadhi, which even some immortals are afraid of him. In fact, the red-tailed squirrel is not its real name, but it is extremely difficult to practice, and it is rare to see small squirrels that are more than a thousand years old, mostly hundreds of years old. A hundred-year-old squirrel only has a red tail, and after five hundred years, the rest of the body slowly turns red, and after a thousand years, it will be red all over the body. The hundred-year-old red-tailed squirrel can also spit fire, but this fire is no different from fire, it can only scare people, and has no practical effect.

The red-tailed squirrel in front of Yun Chong is only over a hundred years old, and his cultivation is still shallow, but he still has spirituality. Yun Zhong has been baptized by the saliva of a hundred beasts, and his body exudes an aura of wanting to get close to the red-tailed squirrel.

The red-tailed squirrel saw Yun Zhong staring at his red tail without even blinking his eyes, and immediately understood what he meant, which was to swing his tail in front of him. Yun Zhong reached out and grabbed the fluffy tail in front of him, overjoyed. The red-tailed squirrel pointed at his back with his front paws, signaling for Yunzhong to climb up. Yun Zhong was not polite, and slowly climbed onto the back of the red-tailed squirrel, but still refused to let go of its tail in his hands.

The red-tailed squirrel leaped into the trees and scurried through the woods. Its body is not much heavier than the clouds, but its strength is amazing, and it carries the weight of the clouds on its back, and the jumps are still extremely smooth. Yun Zhong, who was sitting on the back of a red-tailed squirrel, gradually liked this kind of galloping jump, and his mouth "babbled". Sometimes, Yun Zhong will also see Yun Qingzheng's cat waiting in the bushes for its prey to jump into the trap that has been dug long ago. Whenever he saw this scene, Yun Chong's screams became even more intense.

Yunqing has a thatched house on the mountain. When he learned to hunt from his father, in order to exercise his courage, his father specially built a thatched house on Qingyun Mountain and let him live alone on the mountain. He hasn't lived here since he married Levie. Today, in order to catch the fawn, he made a special trip to the hut and took a shovel for digging a pit. To catch large prey, traps are undoubtedly the most practical. After a while, a pit three meters deep and two meters long and wide was dug. Then he spread some hay on it and sprinkled some dry soil. A trap was made in this way.

After the trap was made, Yun Qing searched around and finally found a fawn. In order to avoid shooting the fawn, Yun Qing could only drive it to the vicinity of the trap, and then put some alfalfa and radishes that deer love to eat near the trap to lure it.

Drive the fawn to the trap, Yunqing hides in the bushes, just waiting for the fawn to fall into the trap. He suddenly felt that someone's voice seemed to be Yun Chong. How could Yun Chong come here, he has too much heart. Yun Qing shook his head to keep himself awake.

When the red-tailed squirrel gets tired of the tree, it jumps to the ground and plays hide and seek with Yunzhong, and then a man and a beast chase each other in the woods. Yunzhong also gradually learned to walk and even run in the atmosphere of this game. From his steady pace now, there was no indication that just a few hours ago he was a child who could only walk staggeringly.

The red-tailed squirrel's big tail always attracts Yunzhong's attention, which is also the goal of the red-tailed squirrel and Yunzhong's "competition". The red-tailed squirrel jumped around trying not to let Yun Chong catch it, and Yun Zhong also followed its example and jumped around in the bushes and trees, like a hairless squirrel. If Yun Qing saw his son being able to jump around the tree now, he would definitely be taken aback, thinking that he was dazzled.

Now the red-tailed squirrel jumped up to the bushes with the red fruits, plucked a few dragon fruits from them (this dragon fruit is not our usual dragon fruit), and handed them to Yunzhong's small hand. Yun Zhong has now grown teeth, but not enough to eat anything. Looking at the red fruit that he was just able to put down in his hand, Yun Zhong shook his head and looked at it. The red-tailed squirrel seemed to know that he didn't know the magic of dragon fruit, so he hurriedly reached out and took the dragon fruit, and then sent it to Yunzhong's mouth.

The dragon fruit had just entered Yun Chong's mouth and changed into a red fluid, which flowed into his abdomen and then all over his body. Bursts of glowing red light emanated from Yun Chong's body, as if he had turned into a dragon fruit himself. As if he thought the dragon fruit was delicious, Yun Zhong reached out and picked a lot of it and put it in his humble cloth pocket.

Dragon fruit is not an ordinary wild fruit, the blood-red dragon fruit can prolong the life of ten years, although it is not as good as the peach in the peach orchard, but it is enough to shock the world. In addition, dragon fruit can also bring the dead back to life and replenish the depleted vitality. Based on these points alone, dragon fruit can also be regarded as a kind of immortal fruit. The fairy fruit naturally has the conditions for its growth, and the dragon fruit must be watered with its own aura, otherwise it will not bloom and bear fruit at all. Therefore, where there is dragon fruit, there must be a fire dragon.

The fire dragon is not a real dragon, but a type of spirit snake. Because it is red all over the body and can breathe samadhi fire from its mouth, it is often called a fire dragon.

These clouds are naturally unknown. After filling their cloth pockets with dragon fruits, Yunzhong and the red-tailed squirrel began their game again. When a man and a beast were playing, the red-tailed squirrel suddenly "squeaked" a few times, pointed behind a pine tree, and then pointed to the way down the mountain, as if to signal that Yun Chong was in danger, and asked him to leave quickly.

Yun Zhong seemed to understand its meaning, but he didn't have the slightest intention of leaving. As the saying goes, "newborn calves are not afraid of tigers", Yun Zhong actually walked towards the back of the pine tree. Pushing aside the bushes in front of him, Yunzhong hid behind a pine tree that could only be hugged by five people. I saw that there was a vacant land in front of me, which was very rare in Qingyun Mountain, which was similar to a primeval forest. The shape of the clearing is approximately the same as a circle, suggesting that it is not supposed to have formed naturally. Yun Zhong saw two strange animals (in Yun Chong's eyes, there were too many strange things) fighting in the clearing. One of them was covered with thick white hair, resembling a monkey rather than a monkey, resembling an ape rather than an ape, but certainly a primate. The other is a snake with a neck that is now flattened like a cobra, and even more surprisingly has three heads. With the exception of a flattened neck that is silver, the rest of the snake is blood-red, and with three heads, it looks very scary.

This primate and snake animal can be extraordinary. One of them is called the Xuan Ape and the other is called the Fire Dragon, and the Xuan Ape is not in the Xuanhuang of Heaven and Earth. There are five immortals in Zhou Tian, which are heaven and earth, gods, men and ghosts, and five insects, which are scales and feathers. In addition, there are four monkeys and one ape that do not fall into the ten categories. The four monkeys are the Reimei stone monkey, the Akajiri horse monkey, the gibbon monkey, and the six-eared macaque. Fighting to defeat the Buddha Sun Wukong belongs to the Lingming stone monkey, once became his appearance, and wanted to replace him in the west to get into the Buddha after the Buddha saw through the one called the six-eared macaque. Lingming stone monkey through change, know the sky, know the location, can move the stars and change the bucket. The Akajiri horse monkey knows yin and yang, understands personnel, is good at entering and exiting, enjoys the longevity of Qi Tian, and the gibbon monkey takes the sun and the moon into the bag to take things, shrinks thousands of mountains, distinguishes the blame, and can be moved. The six-eared macaque is good at listening to sounds, can observe things, knows before and after life, and knows everything.

An ape is the ape in front of him. The ape is born of heaven and earth, raised by heaven and earth, transporting yin and yang in the invisible, stepping on gossip and passing through immortals. The dignity of his position can only be compared with the Phoenix King and the Qilin King, but the Xuan Ape in front of him is obviously still young and has no ability to move mountains and reclaim the sea, otherwise how can this fire dragon in front of him be his opponent.

The fire dragon is a close relative of the dragon and belongs to the scale insects in the ten categories, and the attribute is fire. The fire dragon collects the aura of heaven and earth, and gathers the power of creation, and there are three fire dragons, six fire dragons and nine fire dragons. The fire dragon in front of him only has three heads, and it belongs to the lowest level of fire dragon. But Rao is like this, and he can also fight with the young ape.

The Xuan Ape and or the Fire Dragon here have been fighting for a hundred years, and at first the Fire Dragon cultivated deeper, and it only took one head to defeat the Xuan Ape, with obvious advantages. But gradually, the innate spirituality of the Xuan Ape made its cultivation soar, and it faintly surpassed the posture of the fire dragon, and it was on a par with the fire dragon decades ago. Now the fire dragon has to summon its other two heads when fighting with the ape, so as not to defeat miserably.

At this time, the three heads of the fire dragon spewed out the true fire of Samadhi together, burning the Xuan Ape. The ape's ability is really good, and with a big mouth, it sucks the true fire of Samadhi into its abdomen, and it is how much the fire dragon sprays, how much it sucks. Due to the overuse of the Samadhi True Fire, the blood red color on the fire dragon's body gradually faded, and if it waited until the blood red faded in, it would be its time of death.

The ape and the fire dragon have been fighting for a hundred years, each with victory or defeat, and never fights with their lives. It's just that in recent years, the fire dragon's personality has become more and more irritable, slaughtering countless small creatures on Qingyun Mountain, which has provoked the Xuan Ape to be angry and wants to take his life.

The fire dragon knew that if he continued to fight like this, he was afraid that he would definitely die. Suddenly, I noticed that there was a movement in the bushes next to me, and a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind. The Xuan Ape is gentle by nature and cares about the life and death of other small divine beasts and animals, so it has a high reputation on Qingyun Mountain. The fire dragon suddenly stopped breathing fire, and one turned to Yunzhong, who was hiding behind the pine trees, and the long tail swept Yunzhong over.

Seeing that the fire dragon's temperament was becoming more and more irritable, the ape wanted to take this opportunity to take its life. If you wait for it to grow one more mouth, at that time, I am afraid that not to mention saving people, even my own net worth and life will not be guaranteed. Unexpectedly, because I was so attentive, I didn't even notice that someone was approaching, and it was already too late when I found out. The ape is now a rat thrower, and he doesn't know what to do for a while, so he can only squeak and squeak.
