Chapter 164: Ma Liu's Second Marshal
Whether it is the memory of the monkey or Ren Qinglian's imagination, Huaguo Mountain should look like a strange flower with yao grass, green pines and cypresses.
But when the two of them pressed the clouds and opened their eyes to watch, what they saw was a barren land, with no flowers and plants, no smoke and haze, collapsed peaks and rocks, and scorched trees.
The monkey was silent, his face was a little hideous, and his fists were subconsciously clenched.
Ren Qinglian knew in her heart that back then, the monkeys made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and the heavenly soldiers and generals surrounded and suppressed Huaguo Mountain, but they did not raze this Huaguo Mountain to the ground, it was because this place was the ancestral vein of the Ten Continents, and the relationship was too big, so they did not dare to act arbitrarily. However, it was inevitable that the Heavenly Fire Divine Thunder that shot out during the battle would destroy half of the plants and trees on the mountain.
The vicissitudes of life, things are not people.
In the past five hundred years, the monkey has dreamed countless times of the innocent years of that year, and countless times dreamed of the splendid peach forest.
It's just that the scene in front of him stabbed him deeply.
Ren Qinglian could feel the thick sadness on the monkey's body, and comforted: "It's good that the person is still there, since the Great Sage has returned, Huaguo Mountain will one day return to its past appearance!"
As he spoke, there was a small sound in the thorn recess in front of the barren grass slope in the distance.
After listening to Ren Qinglian's words, the monkey woke up from his sadness, settled down, just heard this movement, subconsciously looked up, and saw seven or eight little monkeys jumping out of the recess, hugging him, kowtowing around him and shouting, "Grandpa Great Sage, Grandpa Great Sage, we finally waited for you to go home!"
The monkey's heart was sour: "Why don't you come out to play, you all hide and disappear, and you don't see your shadow when you come back?"
Back then, he made a big fuss in the underworld, and wrote off the monkeys on the mountain from the book of life and death, and got a great opportunity, and he lived forever ever since. He had a vague impression of the little monkeys in front of him, but the mountains and wilderness were barren, and it was inevitable that he would not be hungry, and he looked a little skinny and pitiful.
The group of monkeys subconsciously glanced at Ren Qinglian, and when they saw that this person had no malicious intent, they wept and talked about what happened during this time: "Since Grandpa Dasheng was captured, there has been a group of hunters who have come to the island every once in a while to hunt us ......and others."
Although the monkeys on the mountain are immortal, their own strength is limited, and those hunters have some martial arts, hard crossbows and strong bows, and are well-equipped, so they are naturally not opponents.
The monkey grinned at these miserable encounters, "How many of you still have on this mountain?"
The group of monkeys said again: "When the old and the young are added together, there are thousands of monkeys!"
The monkey said hatefully: "My grandson remembered that there were 47,000 children at that time, where have they all gone now?"
According to his thoughts, even if his monkey monkey grandson is of average strength, but there are many people, and there is a combined attack formation that he taught, how could he really be bullied like this by a few hunters.
The group of monkeys wept again and wept: "Since the great sage grandfather left, this mountain was set on fire by the Erlang God and led the soldiers, and we squatted in the well, drilled in the stream, and hid under the iron plate bridge before we got our lives. However, after coming out, there was no flower and fruit in the mountains to feed, and it was difficult to survive, so some monkeys went elsewhere, and those who stayed behind were half robbed by those hunters over the years......"
It's really "the tree is falling and scattering", Ren Qinglian sighed with emotion, and couldn't help asking: "Those hunters are from the Proud Kingdom around here?"
The only human kingdom near Huaguo Mountain is the country of Aolai, as if the monkey has just returned from learning the art to practice monkey soldiers, and has also robbed some weapons in that country.
The group of monkeys was obviously bullied and scared by those hunters, and looked at Ren Qinglian and became nervous for a while.
The monkey smiled: "Ren Jushi is a friend of my grandson, those hunters are really from the Aolai country?"
One of the older monkey demons said, "I came from the country of Aolai, and one of my brothers was captured by hunters, but then ran back......
"Then where is your brother now?" Ren Qinglian asked.
"I'm already dead, and I'm going to die not long after I come back......" The monkey demon looked terrified, as if he had seen something terrible.
Although the monkey genus on the mountain is immortal, it does not mean that it cannot die, according to the description of this monkey demon, the monkey demon who escaped soon turned into a dry skeleton and died, very miserable.
The monkey knew something was wrong, and asked about the fate of the other monkeys and monkeys who had been caught, and he listened to the group of monkeys and say: "Those hunters took us to be killed by arrows, guns, and poisons, and took them to skin and debon, boiled them in sauce and vinegar, fried them in oil and salt, and ate them as food......;
These are actually just their hearsay, their own imagination, but the older monkey demon shook his head and said: "No, no, my poor brother said that they have captured us and will refine us into a kind of puppet ......"
He spoke incoherently, but Ren Qinglian and the monkey glanced at each other, and they both saw the uncertainty in each other's eyes.
The monkey knew that something was wrong, so he asked, "Who is the deacon in the cave now?"
"It's still the two marshals of Ma and Liu, and the two generals Ben and Ba are in charge. The little monkeys said.
The monkey was even more surprised, and said, "Go and report it, and you will say that I have returned." ”
The monkey demons scattered separately and went to the Water Curtain Cave to inform the deacons that the monkeys were old.
Ma, Liu, Ben, and Ba worked hard with the monkey in their early years, and they can be regarded as some cultivation, especially Ma and Liu's second handsome, who have the blood of Wu Zhiqi and the Dragon Girl, and their talents are not bad, and they have long had the cultivation of the big demon, this realm is equivalent to the realm of Yuanying among human monks, and then it is a true immortal.
The monkey knew that the four monkeys were still there, so he was even more sure that there was something wrong with the hunter, and he couldn't help but ask Ren Qinglian, "What did the layman calculate?"
Ren Qinglian was already accustomed to playing tricks, looked at the waves in the distance, and smiled indifferently: "The Great Sage doesn't need to worry, you will be able to see it soon!" Secretly, she guessed about the existence behind those hunters.
Soon, Ma, Liu, Ben, and Ba came out to bow to the monkey and welcomed them into the water curtain cave.
Void window quiet room, stone seat stone bed.
Ren Qinglian was looking at the big characters in regular script engraved on one of the stone pillars - "Huaguo Mountain Blessed Land, Water Curtain Cave Cave Sky", Ma Liu Ershuai couldn't help but ask about his origin in confusion.
At this time, Ren Qinglian finally confirmed the origin of this Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave and Wu Zhiqi, and felt the breath of a red jiri horse monkey in the body of the two monkeys, and smiled slightly: "I am a friend of the Great Sage, the first time we meet, these magic weapons will be given to you for self-defense!"
These magic weapons themselves are not superior, but Wu Zhiqi planned to make a comeback and prepare them for his subordinates.
Ren Qinglian borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, which can be regarded as taking care of Wu Zhiqi's descendants, but the four monkeys are grateful, although they have some means, but they have been persecuted by the hunters over the years, most of them are also because they have eaten no treasure in their hands.
For a while, Ma Liu Ershuai didn't care about wondering why Ren Qinglian gave them a cordial feeling, and answered all questions, and quickly told the news of those hunters.
