Chapter 54: The Old Ape in the Mountains

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

The sky inexplicably rose out of thin air like a thunderous drum, it was the drums of war.

The original white clouds stretched out of the sky and gradually emerged from the inside, which were ships flying in the sky, warships from the heavenly court, countless dense battle columns and heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals wearing divine armor stood on it.

Iron Pillar can only see warships at the moment, but just warships are hundreds of thousands of giants, magnificent, iron-blooded, and ruthless.

He saw that from time to time there was a shining figure on the warship, standing on the edge of the warship, shooting a cold light like a meteor towards the earth, mountains and forests.

They're shooting demons.

Not only him, but countless mortals saw this scene, but there was nothing but awe in their eyes, but Tie Zhu was not like this, he watched those warships sail into the distance, the look in his eyes was inexplicable, and he looked at those who looked down and didn't even dare to look up, and their expressions became gloomy.

He's ten years old now.

"Brother Tiezhu, where are you going?"

A slim girl next to her suddenly shouted when she saw the iron pillar suddenly walking towards the mountains and forests.

"You go home first, I'll be back later." ”

The sound of Tiezhu's answer could be heard in the distance, and his speed was getting faster and faster.

Tie Zhu still remembers that there was a streamer shining in the mountains not far away, so there must be a demon there, and now the killing has been going on for many years, and those who can survive until now must have a certain strength.

In the mountains and forests, the silence was abnormal at this moment, as if there was no other sound except for the footsteps of the iron pillars, and countless living beings seemed to be dormant because of the previous Heavenly Court warship, and they did not dare to violate the majesty of the sky.

It has to be said that this feeling made the iron pillar tremble and fear.

He didn't know how long he had been running, only that his clothes were wet with sweat.

Finally, he stopped walking and walked slowly, gasping for breath pounding his lungs.

And the streamer from before that shot not far ahead.

His heart seemed to be beating faster than it had been after the violent running, as if it was about to jump out of his throat.

At last.

Between the mountains and ravines, he finally saw a figure, red blood, a black arrow shot through the thing, nailing it to the ground, and there were some strange glowing lines on the arrow.

Tie Zhu's figure trembled slightly.

He saw clearly, it was an old ape, an old ape with almost gray hair, aged and not good.

Its godless eyes were looking at the sky, as if to tell of the injustice of fate, and its mouth was slightly open like a curse to the sky.

"Why? Why are they killing you? What are demons? What are gods and Buddhas?"

Tie Zhu looked at the old ape and muttered to himself.

His words were soft, but they were clear at this moment, and they spread far away.

The old ape's stiff body suddenly trembled, and then turned around, as if awakened by the sound of an iron pillar.

It's not dead yet.

Suddenly, Tie Zhu fell to the ground in shock by this scene, and then looked at the old ape's gaze.

"A human child?"

His voice was old, very weak, and he spoke a human tongue.

"You're different from them. ”

His old rickety body was nailed to the ground by a black arrow piercing his chest, and he could only turn his neck slightly, and he heard the words of the iron pillar before.

"Ahem......"

As if he was afraid of frightening the iron pillar, he tried to relax his tone to show some kindness, but then he coughed violently, and a look of pain flashed on his face.

"Can you ...... Can you help me...... Excuse me?"

His voice was trembling and staccato.

"I came from Huaguo Mountain, but I was too old to fly, so I had to climb mountains and wade through water. ”

He took a slow breath and barely managed to speak smoothly.

"At the end of this group of mountains, there is a five-finger mountain, can you help me bring a few words to the monkey at the bottom of the mountain?"

It seems difficult for the old ape to say these words, and it is becoming less and less vigorous.

"Demon Arrows are draining my life, and I'm running out of time. ”

His eyes showed a hint of anticipation as he looked at the iron pillar.

"After many years of fighting, I was already seriously injured, and I wanted to see him for the last time when I died, but it was a pity. ”

The old ape's eyes reflected a certain color of memory, like a dying old man recalling his embarrassing life.

"I promise you. ”

When Tie Zhu saw this scene, he didn't know why he had no fear in his heart, but he had an inexplicable tremor in his heart, looking at the old ape's eyes.

"Thank you. ”

The old ape's eyes, which had been gradually darkening, lit up again, as if returning to the light, his voice seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and the blood vessels in his neck were bulging, looking a little hideous.

"You tell him, you must tell him that although Huaguo Mountain has become scorched earth, as long as he is there, everything can grow again after all......"

"I am an old ape in the mountains, I can follow him to shatter the heavens, I am fortunate to be born, I die without regrets, if there is an afterlife, I will pioneer for him......"

His voice faded, and after a long pause, it turned into a low murmur.

"The King...... I went to ...... first."

The old ape's words were extremely weak at this time, and finally looked straight into the distance, he was dead, or he was already dead.

His body was slowly turning black, as if it had been scorched, first skin, then bones, and the arrow had turned to ashes as if nothing had ever appeared, except for the blood stained on the ground.

Tie Zhu was a little silent for some reason when he saw this scene, and looked at the place where the old ape had stood for a long time.

"What is this?"

Suddenly, he saw something where the old ape was standing before, it seemed to be a wooden sign, simple, simple wooden sign, the size of a palm, but it was unusually smooth, as if it was something that a person cherished very much, as if it had been held and polished in his hand for many years.

"Huaguo Mountain?"

He approached and picked it up, only to see that the back of the wooden plaque was engraved with the three characters Huaguoshan, and there was only one Ba on the other side, like a person's name, stained red with blood.

Tie Zhu looked at it intently, this should be the old ape's most cherished thing, he couldn't help but think to himself.

Suddenly, the tip of his nose and then his face felt a little cold.

"It's raining?"

Tie Zhu looked up and muttered to himself, his eyes slowly closed, as if he was feeling something.

"It's a pity that you can clean the air, but you can't clean the world. ”

After closing it for a moment, he had opened his eyes, and the slightest coolness seemed to suppress the boredom in his heart, and the old ape seemed to be no different from a human except for his appearance.

"Answer?"

Holding the wooden sign in his hand, he looked into the distance, and then walked home.

......

"Tiezhu, did you leave Ah Xiu alone today? It's still raining. ”

I saw that in the courtyard room, Tie Zhu was lifted by his father like a chicken with a loveless face, and then thrown into a wooden bucket filled with warm water.

"I'll clean you up when you're done. ”

Tiezhu's father had a simple face and tried to make a vicious look, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes that gradually dissipated.

"Got it, Dad. ”

The iron-pillar chick nodded like a peck of rice.

Then.

"Mother, my father has already punished me just now. ”

Tie Zhu took a bath and looked at the serious mother in front of him, and suddenly said weakly.

"Punishment? Taking a shower is still called a punishment?"

The woman suddenly laughed at the words.

"Know what went wrong today?"

Tiezhu's mother sat in the house, Ah Xiu stood on the right side, and Tiezhu's father stood on the left.

"You shouldn't be in the rain, you shouldn't go into the mountains alone......"

Seeing this formation, Tie Zhu suddenly spoke in a low voice.

"Is this the point? What? Do you still want to take Ah Xiu into the mountain with you?"

Tiezhu's mother raised her eyebrows.

"Mother, I was wrong. ”

Tie Zhu had no choice but to speak with a depressed face.

"Hmph, it's good to know it's wrong. ”

When the woman saw this, she had no choice but to give up.

"Come here. ”

As he spoke, he took out a piece of jade, which was only the size of a dragon's eye and was in the shape of a ring, like a piece of natural white jade, wrapped in a red rope.

Then the iron pillar was tied around his neck in confusion, and he could even feel his mother tying the dead knot over and over again.

"Mother, what is this?"

Tie Zhu was a little puzzled, and he suddenly remembered that Ah Xiu also had one around his neck before.

"This is the jade that you and Ah Xiuding kissed back then, this is yours, if you dare to untie it privately, I will break your legs. ”

The woman said with a serious expression.

"In the future, you are not allowed to bully Ah Xiu, and you are not allowed to leave her alone, otherwise I will beat her once, remember?"

Tie Zhu looked at Ah Xiu, who was sly beside the woman, and was a little stunned.

"Remember?"

In the middle of his mind, a roar in his ears shook him.

"Remembered. ”

Iron Pillar immediately shouted, like a defeated rooster bowing his head, a little frustrated.

Night.

He was lying on the bed playing with the wooden card, he didn't tell his parents about the old ape and the wooden card, he had his own ideas.

"In a few years, soon, I will be able to hunt as soon as I am an adult, and I will definitely go to the end of the mountains. ”

Tie Zhu thought so, and then slowly fell into a dream.

The next day.

"What? Learn to hunt?"

Tie Zhu's father looked at the slender Tie Zhu and shook his head.

"Are you okay?"

He hesitated a little, and then saw Tie Zhu walk directly to the corner of the courtyard without saying a word.

There was a stone mill there, and then his eyes widened, and his mouth slowly opened to almost fit a duck egg.

I saw that the iron pillar took a deep breath and actually lifted the stone mill.

"Put it down, don't blink your waist. ”

He hurriedly ran over, and with a distorted face, he took the stone mill that weighed seven or eight hundred catties.

"Let Daddy see if you're hurting anywhere?"

Tiezhu's father was a little frightened, and then checked it, and only relieved when he saw that there was nothing to do.

"Could it be that this is the so-called innate divine power?"

In the end, he could only look blankly at the iron pillar that kept holding the stone grinding, and then classified it as talented.

"Our son is not an ordinary person, you see that forehead birthmark looks like an eye. ”

The mother and Ah Xiu of the iron pillar in the house also seemed to be disturbed by the noise outside the house, and then looked at the iron pillar under the stone grinding and was silent for a long time.

It's just that.

Tie Zhu looked at this scene, and an inexplicable sense of crisis arose in his heart, the more beautiful some things are, the more worried about losing, he will not tolerate it, let alone accept it.

He is indeed born with divine power, as if this is the same as his body was born with, he has been different from ordinary people since he was a child, his body has never been born with a hundred diseases, and his skin is better than that of a woman, and the aura is compelling, as if the aura is transformed, he has already discovered it, but now he has to show it as a last resort.

The family, laughing, but I don't know who has something on their minds.
