Chapter 40: Outwitting the White Ape
It should be many times easier to kill the white ape than to capture the white ape alive, but it is rumored that the white ape had the grace of passing on the scriptures to that demon venerable back then, and he opened a killing ring here, I am afraid that it will not make the descendants of the demon venerable happy, Li Xian decided that even if it was a little more difficult, he would capture the white ape alive first.

Until then, some preparations must be completed.
Li Xian found another secret place, built a much larger thatched hut, and cut down wood to make a bed, which could be regarded as an operating room and operating table.
The scalpel can be replaced by a jungle knife in your hand, but it can't be sterilized, and then you can only use the traditional method of sterilization with flames.
Li Xian carefully observed the ground and made an excellent discovery, that is, he found that there was a kind of ant here whose body was three or four times larger than that of ordinary ants, and it was extremely strong, and once it bit something, it would never relax.
After doing a few tests, Li Xian nodded with satisfaction, so that there was no need to find sutures for surgery.
Then, he tried to hunt the white ape, but he didn't expect to be unfavorable, and he failed to shoot three times in a row.
For the first time, I used the vines in the valley to make a net, arranged it on the path of the white ape's long walk, and caught the white ape, but I didn't expect the white ape to be so powerful that he tore the net and escaped.
The second time, a huge trap was dug in the ground, and then a trap was set up, and when the white ape fell into the pit, the cover made of wooden stakes on it would fall down and be firmly pressed to prevent the white ape from escaping.
Unexpectedly, the white ape bit off the stake with his teeth and escaped.
The third time, a huge net was made out of bamboo, which descended from the sky as the white ape passed by, enveloping it.
Unexpectedly, the white ape only squeaked twice, and countless monkeys rushed up, lifted the cage, and rescued the white ape.
After these three attacks, the white ape began to be very vigilant, and he had to take a few strong men with him everywhere, and even became brutal, and several deer, sheep, or something that accidentally walked to his side were torn apart by the white ape.
Fortunately, Li Xian made traps very secretively several times, and with the intelligence of apes, he couldn't connect these traps with humans, so he was safe for a while.
However, it is clear that this is not the way to go.
In a fit of rage, Li Xian burned a lot of bricks, dug a cellar in the earliest thatched huts, built a larger stove next to it, and then burned many pottery jars of strange styles, and then cut down the bamboo, and used the thick bamboo knots of these buckets to make suitable buckets.
Then, taking advantage of the time when the monkeys left the peach forest, Li Xian sneaked into the peach forest to the stone pond where the monkey wine was brewed, loaded two large barrels of monkey wine, and then walked around the valley for half a day, and then walked around the river, and finally returned to the first thatched hut, put it in the cellar and stored it tightly.
After Li Xian stole the monkey wine three or four times, the white ape finally found that the monkey wine had become less, and in a fit of anger, he suspected that the monkeys under his command were stealing wine and drinking, and beat his subordinates hard.
Then, all the large animals that strayed into the peach forest were suspected by the white ape and were beaten or even killed directly.
However, none of this has anything to do with Li Xian, the monkey wine he stole is enough for him to carry out his next plan.
Li Xian put the round low-bellied clay jar on the stove, filled it with half of the wine, and then lit a fire with firewood underneath.
This clay jar naturally has a lid on it, and it is sealed with yellow mud to prevent the air inside from leaking.
The lid has a small hole five centimeters in diameter, plugged with hollow bamboo joints, and then connected with several until it is connected to another clay pot.
These bamboo knots are naturally sealed with yellow mud and animal skins to prevent air leakage.
This other clay jar has another smaller clay jar on top of it, which is filled with water.
This whole set of facilities is a simple distillation equipment.
We all know that the boiling point of alcohol is about 20 degrees lower than that of water, and after Li Xian controls the fire on the stove, the alcohol will boil and turn into gas, and it will reach another clay vat along the bamboo knot on the top of the clay jar, and then it will be condensed by the clay jar filled with water on it, and it will turn into liquid again and accumulate at the bottom of the clay jar.
Using this method, Li Xian got more than 100 catties of monkey wine with a degree of more than 80 degrees.
Since discovering that the monkey wine in the pool has been stolen, the white ape often waits in the peach grove for the sake brewing, but after all, he can't wait by the pool every day.
On this day, the white ape went out to another forest to forage for food, and Li Xian tiptoed into the peach forest and found two big monkeys guarding there.
Li Xian picked up the dead branch with the thick mouth of the bowl, knocked the monkey unconscious, and tied it with vines.
After that, Li Xian loaded the monkey wine in a bamboo tube, and carried one of the two monkeys who were knocked unconscious, and carried it back to the thatched hut together, and deliberately sprinkled some wine along the way.
When the monkey woke up, it squeaked and squeaked, and Li Xian fed the monkey his distilled high-strength monkey wine, and when the monkey was slightly drunk after drinking, he let the monkey go and let it escape the same way.
This monkey is addicted to alcohol, and after being let go, he turned back three times in one step, and reluctantly looked at the bamboo tube containing wine several times before going up the tree and escaping.
Li Xian took out all the bamboo tubes containing high-concentration monkey wine, piled them under the corner of the thatched house, and came out, finding a place where he could observe the movement of the thatched house, and hid strictly to observe the movement here.
After some time, the monkey that had been let go came back with the white ape and seven or eight strong ordinary monkeys, and pointed to the thatched hut and barked wildly.
The white ape angrily pushed the thatched hut and destroyed the stove, even the clay jars.
Then, the white ape found the bamboo tubes containing wine at the base of the thatched hut wall, took a sip, seemed very satisfied, and poured it up.
The high-concentration monkey wine prepared by Li Xian was more than a hundred catties, and the white ape was excited to drink this kind of high-intensity wine for the first time, and drank one sip after another, and even the subordinates he brought secretly looked for wine to drink, and it was not strictly forbidden as usual.
In the end, both the white ape and the monkey drank too much and staggered to the ground drunk on the thatched hut.
Li Xian then Shi Shiran walked over, at this time the white ape had already drunk more than a dozen catties of wine, no matter how strong he was, he was unconscious, and several monkeys who had not drunk too much wine staggered to their feet, and wanted to pounce, but they all let Li Xian knock out with wooden sticks.
Li Xian tied up all these monkeys with the tree vines prepared in advance, and tied them so tightly that they even blocked their mouths and put them aside to hide.
Finally, he carried the white ape on his back and carried it to another secret thatched hut and placed it on a wooden bed.
After fixing the white ape's hands and feet to the wooden bed with vines, then blocking his mouth and tying his head to fix it, Li Xian relaxed.
Then light a fire outside, put the jungle knife on top of the flame to burn, complete the sterilization, and the preparation for the operation is complete.
