Chapter Twenty-Three: Searching

The ship was large, with a lot of cargo piled on it, and at the same time, there were many people on board who went out to sea to make a living. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Hearing that the sea ship was going to Xiniu Hezhou, the stone monkey slipped up quietly in the middle of the night last night, taking advantage of the fact that the crew was not paying attention.

Hiding in the warehouse, the stone monkey felt like a rat, hiding in Tibet.

“...... In my previous life, there was such a thing as smuggling, does this count me?"

Laughing at himself helplessly, the stone monkey carefully hid in the warehouse, fortunately, there was a lot of food in the warehouse, and the stone monkey didn't have to worry about starving to death.

After four days at sea, the stone monkey was a little overwhelmed.

Seasickness, what a terrible symptom, the stone monkey can't lift its eyelids at the moment, it wants to sneak over the deck to get some breath and fresh air.

"Lately, there has been less and less fruit on the ship, it's really strange, isn't there a rat in the hold?"

The crew member in charge of the ship's food distribution glanced inside the cargo hold, and he muttered......

I don't know how many more days I have to endure this kind of life like a mouse? It's really not a monkey's life! The stone monkey calculates the time and distance of the voyage in his heart, and hopes to end the voyage as soon as possible.

For humans, the monkey now maintains a high vigilance in his heart, and he does not dare to approach casually, and in the past few years of wandering, the monkey has encountered a lot of things, and has learned a lot of truths.

A monkey, a monkey who doesn't have much ability to protect itself, if he meets humans, especially those who are not very good at their minds, it is really dangerous.

What's more, the stone monkey is also a talking monkey, which is more dangerous.

On land, humans refer to incomprehensible animals, such as talking animals, or those that look like humans, as youkai or demons.

For youkai, humans are very annoying, and on land, there are often various versions of the story of monsters harming and eating people.

All in all, when humans encounter youkai, they either run away in fear or stand up for battle.

Therefore, monkeys are always very cautious and do not want to meet humans, after all, being hunted by humans is not a fun thing. Besides, the monkeys themselves don't have much of the ability to protect themselves now.

I don't know how many days passed, but finally one morning, the people on the ship cheered loudly, and all kinds of excited shouts rose to the sky.

I should have arrived in Xiniu Hezhou, right?

At this moment, the stone monkey is really at a loss in his heart, this place, the stone monkey actually doesn't want to come, but it can't help but come.

"Maybe in the future...... But no matter what, Xiaohong still has a glimmer of hope, how can she know if she doesn't try hard, everything will wait until the so-called master, what should come will always come......"

When night fell, the stone monkey glanced at the big ship behind him, muttered a few words in his heart, and strode towards the mountains and forests in the night.

The continent of Xiniu Hezhou is really unusual, and there are more humans on the land than there are humans in Nanbu Continent. Moreover, there are many legends about immortals and demons here.

There are legends about Taoism, Buddhism, and even hell and so on.

It's just that one thing makes the monkeys very depressed, the humans here are almost the same as humans on other lands, and they basically don't have a good impression of youkai.

No matter what the legend is, youkai are all vicious monsters. Various legends also tell the story of immortals and gods who subdue demons and eliminate monsters.

Even, on the street, the monkey once witnessed an old Taoist priest killing a fox with the so-called demon slaying sword.

Originally, the monkey was going to consult the old Taoist, but the monkey has not found Fangcun Mountain until now, nor has he seen the three-star cave of the slanting moon.

But just as the monkey wanted to go over, the old Taoist priest stabbed a fox passing by the meadow with a sword. The monkey slipped away......

"It's really speechless, it's obviously an ordinary fox, why are humans always so self-righteous, even if it's really a monster, should every monster be damned?"

The depressed monkey had no choice but to hide again, and even the monkey had a doubt in his heart.

"That so-called master, that old man Bodhi, will he also be an old man who hates animals and monsters, if the records in the Journey to the West are all fake, then if you go to the door by yourself, isn't it looking for death?"

After these things, the monkey's heart became even more nervous.

Mountains and rivers, rivers and lakes, I don't know how many places I have walked, and the monkey has forgotten how much time has passed, maybe three years, or longer, and there is still no news from Fangcun Mountain.

Even, there are no rumors about the three-star cave of Fangcun Mountain on this land at all. As for the Bodhi Ancestor, the people on this land have not mentioned it.

"Could it be that Journey to the West is just a fake story?

"But, how did I become a monkey, stone monkeys, Huaguo Mountain, Water Curtain Cave, these are all real, but why can't I find the three-star cave of Fangcun Mountain?"

...... After a few years, the monkey is really emaciated, and his body is also emaciated, and he is almost losing his hair.

However, the monkey still did not give up the search for the three-star cave......

On this day, the weather was fine, and the monkeys came to an unknown mountain forest, and I didn't know that this was the first mountain forest that the monkeys were looking for, anyway, the monkeys came here in such a daze.

...... After looking for a few hills, the monkey was wearing clothes, turbans, hats, pretending to be people, looking for people to inquire, but there was still no news from Sanxingdong.

Just as the monkeys were hiding under a big tree to take a break in the shade, there was a sound of chopping wood from the mountain, and at the same time, a rough song sounded.

"Watching chess is rotten, logging Ding Ding, Xu Xing in the valley of the clouds, selling salaries and wine, laughing and self-indulgent. The autumn is high, and the pine roots of the moon pillow are bright. Recognize the old forest, climb the cliff and cross the ridge, and break the withered vine with an axe.

Harvest into a load, in the song market, easy rice three liters. There is no competition, the price is mediocre, there will be no clever calculations, no honor and disgrace, and tranquility will prolong life. Where they meet, they are not immortals, and they sit quietly and talk about the Yellow Court. ”

Hearing this rough howl, hearing this primitive singing voice, the monkey almost jumped three feet high, and it was simply dancing with joy, and rolled on the ground dozens of heels in a row.

"This, this lyric is so familiar, isn't it in Journey to the West, Sun Wukong is looking for the three-star cave of the slanting moon, before apprenticeship with Bodhi, when he inquired about the path, he met the woodcutter who showed the way, isn't it the lyrics sung by the woodcutter!"

The ecstatic monkey was so agitated that it could not care for anything, and it scrambled up from the grass and stumbled after the place where the song was called.

"It's here, it's here, it can't be wrong, haha......"

Crawling and rolling, the monkey ran towards the woodcutter chopping wood......
