Chapter 21: Intrigue and Rivalry Traveling West
"Big brother, I'm also your little brother, is it really good for you to say that about your little brother?"
The yellow monkey noticed that this guy seemed to be getting thicker and thicker, and looked at this cheeky guy with interest and chuckled.
"Yes, you're right. "I was a little embarrassed to be stared at by the yellow monkey, and the leopard simply admitted.
He continued: "I don't know how you caught the fox and the rabbit, but I must admit that you are better than me. ”
"I'm going to say that the rabbit hit the tree and died, do you believe it?" asked the yellow monkey.
"Big brother, if I say this, do you think you will believe it?" asked the leopard rhetorically.
"Well, I don't believe it either. The yellow monkey smiled.
"I knew that you had these means, big brother, just now I didn't pick up those wild fruits on the road to eat, and my stomach was a little uncomfortable when I ate them. The leopard muttered, a little regretful.
"Eat wild fruits?" the yellow monkey looked at the leopard with disdain.
"No... No, I haven't eaten it when I'm so big, so I don't want to taste it. I'm not hungry and can't stand it, I'm just trying it..."The leopard explained incessantly, and the more he talked, the more unconfident he became.
"Okay, stop nagging, it's not a short time to rest, it's time to hurry. ”
The yellow monkey cleaned up, picked up the basket, carried the stick, and jumped on the leopard's back.
The leopard found a river, drank some water, and then set out on its way.
All the way to the west.
The well-fed leopard was full of energy, much faster than in the morning.
But this leopard is a talker, chattering along the way, without the shame of a carnivorous beast.
"Boss, where are we going, how many mountains have we climbed?"
"What's the matter, tired, don't want to go?" the yellow monkey's tone sounded a little mean.
"No, boss, can't you talk so impulsively, I just ask, it's my honor to be able to carry the boss, how can I be tired." The leopard slapped his ass and expressed his dissatisfaction.
Yellow Monkey thinks about it, it seems that after experiencing that life and death catastrophe, his temper is getting more and more weird.
"I'm going to Xiniu Hezhou, the purpose is to seek immortals, I don't know where it is, I can only inquire all the way. The yellow monkey explained.
"What is an immortal?" Obviously, the leopard is also illiterate.
"Immortals are very powerful beings, they can live forever, they can move mountains and seas with their bare hands, and they can fly away without wings. ”
The yellow monkey doesn't know much about immortals.
The only thing I know is only from the old horse monkey.
"Immortality? Moving mountains and seas with bare hands, and flying to the sky without wings? Is it so amazing?" all this is a fantasy for the leopard.
"Boss, I thought you were definitely not an ordinary monkey, but I didn't expect that your ambition was so ambitious, and I felt extremely honored to be able to be your mount. "The leopard is a sycophant.
The yellow monkey didn't want to pay attention to him, it was too hypocritical.
"Boss, if you become an immortal one day, you will also teach me when the time comes, and I also want to try what it is like to fly to the sky. ”
"Hehe, you also want to cultivate immortals?"
"Yes. ”
"It's not so easy to cultivate immortals, first of all, we have to be able to reach Xiniu Hezhou alive. ”
"How far is Xiniu Hezhou?"
"Tens of thousands of miles. ”
"How far is tens of thousands of miles?" asked the leopard cautiously.
"Let's turn over another five or six hundred of the mountains we just climbed. ”
"Five or six hundred?" the leopard didn't ask any further, for he couldn't count how many five or six hundred mountains were.
He was afraid that if he continued to ask, he would be beaten if he was tired of asking the monkey.
As the leopard fell silent, the yellow monkey suddenly realized a problem.
This is a relatively important question, that is, neither he nor the leopard can read.
Although he had followed Lao Li Tou to sell fish for more than two months, he knew some mathematics, but in terms of literacy, the few words he knew were really no different from illiteracy.
And the leopard is not to mention, he may not even have seen anyone.
The strength of the human race is reflected in the wisdom and civilization system of the human race.
The Terrans have currency that can be exchanged for all kinds of items they want, unlike these fierce beasts in the mountains and forests, if they want to get something, they can only rob and hunt.
The Terrans have words that can record all kinds of meaningful things, which can go back a long time, rather than just relying on their brains to remember.
Moreover, writing can continue this kind of civilization and wisdom, and through written records, the human race can know what happened hundreds of years ago, or even thousands of years ago.
And these beasts in the mountains and forests, it seems that in addition to culling and robbing, these human robbers can only do things, they do not have the civilization and wisdom of the human race at all.
Among the thousands of beast races in the mountains and forests, only the monkey race is similar in size to humans.
But the gap between the monkey race and the human race is not half a star.
Not to mention how powerful the human race is, the residence of the human race alone is a hundred times stronger than that of the monkey race, and in terms of food, the food of the human race is undoubtedly the most delicious in the world.
Fruits, vegetables, each eating meat, except for feces, the Terrans eat almost everything.
Even if it is not delicious in itself, it can be boiled or grilled with salt and spices.
Meat, in fact, is better than wild fruit.
Immortals, immortals, immortals are also people.
Someone stronger than the Terrans!
When he went west to find immortals, he was actually just dealing with the more powerful human race.
If you don't know the words invented by the human race, it will be difficult to communicate in the future.
If you want to integrate into the circle of the Terrans, you must learn the culture of the Terrans, and it will be convenient for you to communicate in the future.
"Leopard, have you ever seen a Terran?" the yellow monkey asked suddenly.
"Terran, is that the hairless monkey?" asked the leopard.
If you can know that the Terrans are hairless, then you have obviously seen it.
The yellow monkey was stunned: "Where have you seen the human race?"
"A long time ago, I saw a few hairless monkeys hunt a wild boar bigger than me. ”
"Those hairless monkeys, just like you, the boss, are very powerful, and I can't easily kill such a big boar, and those hairless monkeys seem to kill him easily with their weapons and traps. ”
"Yes, the Terrans are indeed very strong, although they do not have hard skin and hair, but their intelligence is very strong, and they are often able to defeat the strong with the weak. I went to Xiniu Hezhou to find the human race that cultivated into immortals, to find a way to become immortals, in order for us to arrive at Xiniu Hezhou as soon as possible, I think we have to catch someone to play first. ”
"What, boss, do you want to catch someone?" the leopard was surprised: "What are you doing catching people?
Thinking of the yellow monkey's barbecue, the leopard's saliva flowed.
"Eat you big-headed ghost, the human race is the smartest race in the world, and we catch people to learn their wisdom. ”
"So that's the case, the boss is the boss, and what he thinks is more thoughtful than me. ”
"Don't pat yourself on the back, stop by the creek in front of you, drink some water and take a break. The yellow monkey pointed to the small river not far ahead.
"Okay, Boss. ”
The water is so clear that it would be more appropriate to say that it is a stream than a river.
It is less than a zhang wide and no more than three feet deep, and the water is clear to the bottom.
The yellow monkey and the leopard each drank some water by the river, and filled the kettle in the basket with water in case of emergency.
Then he picked up some egg-sized stones by the river and put them in the basket.
"Boss, what are you picking up these rocks for?" asked the leopard.
"It's not because of you!" the yellow monkey glared at him.
The leopard didn't know why, but was glared at by the yellow monkey and immediately fell silent.
"When you're full, you'll hurry, and you'll get to the mountain ahead before dark. The yellow monkey pointed ahead.
