Volume 1 The World Moves Chapter 45 Half Man and Half Beast

Mi Yue and his entourage walked quickly for a day under the leadership of Zhuangzi, and everyone found that the terrain was getting flatter and flatter, trees and water plants were gradually increasing, and people could gradually be seen on the road. Soon they arrived at the edge of a lake, and Zhuangzi told everyone to rest for a while, and told everyone that the Fighting Beast Hill was not far away.

"Does anyone know the name of this 'Fighting Beast Hill'?" Zhuangzi asked as he looked at the crowd, he wanted to take advantage of everyone's rest to tell everyone some gossip and relieve everyone's tension.

Everyone shook their heads one by one, and Song Heng said:

"Is there a story of 'fighting beasts'? Sir, tell us about it!"

"Exactly, if you want to hear it, I'll tell you about it!" Zhuangzi said. Song Heng guessed the meaning of fighting the beast, so he turned his head and whispered to Qianqian:

"Look at me smart!"

Before he could answer, he only listened to Zhuangzi's preaching:

"The full name of the Fighting Beast Hill is 'The Hill of the Emperor's Fighting Beast', and it is famous because the Emperor of Heaven fought with fierce beasts here. In the past, there was a mythical beast on Kunlun Mountain, with nine tails, the body of a tiger, and the face of a human. The mythical beast is good at hiding itself, and on weekdays, it covers its tail and body with bark and grass, and lies on the side of the road with only its face exposed, and when it sees someone coming, it goes up and eats it. One day, the Emperor of Heaven passed by a hill, and the Divine Beast saw that it was coming to eat him, so the Emperor of Heaven and the Divine Beast had a fight. The Divine Beast and the Heavenly Emperor fought for three days and three nights around the hill, fighting from the hill to the bottom of the hill, both of them were exhausted and unable to defeat the other. After the Emperor of Heaven went back, he thought all the way, and after a few days, he asked his daughter to seduce the divine beast, and instructed his daughter to drink its blood after combining with the divine beast. The divine beast really fell for the trick, and the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven bit the neck of the divine beast while it was asleep, and drank up its blood. Soon after, the Mother of the Emperor gave birth to a child, the child did not have the form of a beast at all, it was completely human, but the Emperor knew that the child was a monster that was half human and half beast. Later, the Emperor of Heaven went to Heaven to become the emperor, and his daughter and grandson could only stay in the world because they kept the blood of the divine beast. The grandson of heaven and earth grew up to become the emperor of the world, and his descendants are all over the world, and until today, most of the people have the blood of half man and half beast. ”

"Alas, it turns out that the Emperor of Heaven is so ruthless that he actually uses his daughter as a weapon!"

"A lot of times, women are chips and weapons in the hands of men!" Mi Yue said.

"People say that the emperor is ruthless, but we ordinary men are all affectionate and righteous!, right, senior brother?" Song Heng pushed Deng Hozi and said.

"You have affection, okay! Anyway, Master and I are ruthless!" Deng Hozi said to him with a blank look.

"I think the divine beast is more affectionate than the Emperor of Heaven! The divine beast could have eaten her when it saw the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven, but the divine beast did not eat her, but instead became a husband and wife with her, doesn't this mean that the divine beast is sentient!" Pian Pian rarely spoke along the way, and suddenly threw out a strange argument at this time.

"Beasts are more affectionate than gods, you dare to say that!" said shallowly.

"Things in the world are like things in a story, good and evil are hard to say! I think Miss Pian Pian is reasonable! But what this story tells us is not good and evil, but the blood flowing in people's bodies!" Zhuangzi has never been accepted by orthodox Confucian theory, so he also thinks that Pian Pian is reasonable.

"Beast blood that is good at camouflage!" Song Heng said immediately.

"You're only a beast with blood! We're all bloody!" replied immediately.

"So, we're all half-human, half-beast?" said Mi Yue with a smile.

"My master is also half human and half ┄┄" Song Heng's mouth was fast, and the beast word was not spoken, but everyone understood the meaning.

"Is your master a human being or something, let my senior sister go tonight" Before she finished speaking, she suddenly shouted:

"Oops, it hurts me to death, senior sister, you pinched me to bleed!" Shallow found that although senior sister Pianpian didn't talk much along the way, she peeked at Mengying from time to time, and originally wanted to joke that let senior sister try it, but Pianpian cut off her words in time.

"You're going to pull on me again, I won't talk to you anymore!" said Pian Pian deliberately.

"Hmph, hypocritical beast blood, it's you! I won't say it!"

Zhuangzi saw that the goal had been achieved, and everyone seemed to relax a lot, so he got up and said:

"Let's go, it's not far ahead of the Fighting Beast Hill!"

They walked for about half an hour, and saw a wooded hill standing in the middle of the wilderness, and as far as the eye could see, it was all bare, except for this one hill, which was green on top of it, against a large mountain behind it.

"This is the Fighting Beast Hill!" Zhuangzi pointed to the green hill and said to the crowd.

"It's really different!" said Asahi Asahi .

"That's Dibo City!" Zhuangzi said, pointing to the front of everyone.

Everyone looked in the direction of Zhuangzi's finger, and sure enough, they vaguely saw a house. At this time, it was getting late, and Zhuangzi planned to enter the mountain again tomorrow to ask for help from the Qingyuan Daoist, so he said to everyone:

"The Taoist is on the mountain behind the Fighting Beast Hill, I will wait tonight and rest in the city, tomorrow morning I will go to the mountain with Meng Daxia, and the rest of the people will stay in the city!"

"It's all up to Mr. to arrange!" Mi Yue said.

Everyone immediately entered the city and found that only a few walls were built according to the topography, which could not be compared with the Central Plains city. This place is a small town in Xirong, although the city is not prosperous, but there are several inns, it seems that there are many travelers in the past, everyone randomly found a place to settle down, and spent the night safely.

Early the next morning, Zhuangzi and Mengying crossed the Fighting Beast Hill and went straight to the mountain behind the hill. The two walked through a mountain road, and before arriving at a cliff, they saw that there were several big characters written on the wall, and Zhuangzi panted and said:

"I came here a few years ago, but I didn't see the Taoist himself, so I don't remember the road today!"

"If you're tired, sir, I'll carry you on your back for a while!" Meng Ying said when he saw this.

"It's okay, it's just that I'm in a hurry just now, and I still have the strength under my feet!"

"Mr. has good foot strength, but it is much better than ordinary people!"

"Although I am not as good as you, I have been used to it for many years!" Zhuangzi looked up at the cliff and continued:

"I don't seem to have been here last time, but if I go around again, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time!"

"Sir, do you want to climb over this cliff?"

"The direction seems to be right, but how can this cliff be turned up!" Zhuangzi said helplessly.

"This is easy, Mr. only needs to tell Mengying if he wants to turn it over!"

When Zhuangzi heard this, he thought to himself that he was a hero of the Mo family, maybe he could give it a try, so he said:

"If you can climb up, the Taoist Temple of the Taoist Chief should not be far away, and it will save a lot of distance!"

While they were talking, a strange bird called three times and flew over their heads up the cliff, and they both saw that it was a bird or a pair of birds.

When Meng Ying came, he was prepared, untied the burden from his back, took out a long rope, took out a bow and arrow, and tied the rope to the arrow. Meng Ying took a few steps under the cliff, found a place, raised his iron bow and shot the first iron arrow with a rope tied to it. The iron arrow dragged the rope up and flew to a large tree on the cliff, and hung down after passing the trunk. Meng Ying took a few steps to the side, and then shot a second iron arrow, which hit the first one, and the iron arrow dragged the rope around the trunk of the tree. Meng Ying tugged on the rope and felt that the rope was not stuck in the trunk, so he shot a third iron arrow, which pierced the rope and nailed it to the trunk. Meng Ying stretched out his hand and pulled the rope again, and Zhuangzi praised on the side:

"The hero is good at archery! People say that Shangqiu is the first in the world, and I think the hero's archery is the best in the world!"

"Sir said that he laughed! The archery technique under the next is just hard practice, how can it be compared with the magic arrow!"

"The spider silk arrow is just a legend, I'm afraid no one has seen it with their own eyes!" Zhuangzi said. Zhuangzi grew up on the side of Shangqiu since he was a child, although he knew that Shangqiu had a magic arrow gate, and the archery technique was passed down from the ancient marksman Hou Yi, but he had never heard of what kind of magic arrow was.

"I want to see it too!" Meng Ying said with a smile.

"Wait for me to come down!" After speaking, he dragged the rope in his hand and flew up to the top of the cliff alone. Meng Ying reached the top of the cliff, untied the rope from the tree and re-tied it, and flew down the cliff again. It turned out that Meng Ying was afraid that the rope was not nailed firmly enough to bear the weight of the two of them, so he went up alone to fix the rope properly, and then turned back and took Zhuangzi up with him.

Meng Ying carried Zhuangzi, and the two quickly went up the cliff. When he reached the top of the cliff, Zhuangzi looked up, and it seemed that it was still difficult to discern the direction, and he didn't care about it, and only walked to the place where it was easy to go.

The two of them had not taken a few steps before the two-headed bird, which had just flown overhead, landed not far from them and barked at them a few times. The two of them saw it very clearly at this time, this bird looked like a wild duck, not one, but a pair, but each with only one eye and one wing. Both of them felt very strange in their hearts, and they could not imagine that there were such strange birds in the world. Zhuangzi had always been very interested in these strange things, so he said to Mengying:

"I heard that there is a bird in the world called the winged bird, which cannot fly alone, but can only fly in two places, is this the legendary 'winged bird'?"

"Don't say you've seen it, I've never heard of it!" Meng Ying felt very strange and said to Zhuangzi with a smile.

"I'm afraid this is not an ordinary bird, let's follow them!" Zhuangzi saw that the bird got up and flew forward, as if it had the intention of leading the way, so he said to Mengying.

"Sir has traveled all over the world and has seen extraordinary, but Ling Zai is really admired!" Meng Ying said, and the implication was that Zhuangzi, as a scholar, felt that it was a little strange for Zhuangzi to come to a remote place like the Loulan city-state, but he had never liked to ask too much, so he did not ask explicitly.

Zhuangzi is also a smart person in Bingxue, and he heard the meaning of his words, so he said to Mengying:

"Can the hero know Gongsun He?"

"I know naturally, and I have some origins, but I haven't seen him for at least ten years!"

"Now that you've seen Gongsun He, you're definitely familiar with Qiong Fang, your master's sword saint's friend?"

"It's very familiar, but I haven't seen it for nearly twenty years!" "When Meng Ying and Mi Ri competed for the first time, they suspected that Mi Ri might be Qiong Fang's disciple.

Shortly after Du Mo disappeared in the Kunlun Mountains, Gongsun He's whereabouts were unknown. For many years, Xiaodao was entrusted by Qiong Fang to find the whereabouts of Gongsun He, and suspected that he might also disappear into the Kunlun Mountain area, so he came to this remote place!" Zhuangzi only said that he was entrusted by someone, but did not explicitly say that he had a complicated relationship with Qiong Fang and Gongsun He, but in fact, it was his own will to find Gongsun He, and it was not Qiong Fang's trust. Regarding the relationship between Mi Yue and Mi Ri and Qiong Fang and Mei Men, although Meng Ying is not sure, he has a number in his heart.

"I see! I think there must be some mystery in this Kunlun Mountain!" Meng Ying thought to herself.

"Since Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor debuted in the West Kunlun Hills, Kunlun Mountain has been called the Chinese Sacred Mountain by the world, and there is naturally a hidden magic in the mountain!"

"Just like this bird, there are not a few magical places!" Meng Ying couldn't help but be a little more curious about Kunlun Mountain.

While talking, the two of them heard the sacred bird in front of them call a few times, and it appeared in front of their eyes again, and it really meant to lead the way. The two of them felt amazing in their hearts, and they quickened their pace and followed the divine bird all the way forward.
