Seventh, knowledge is power

The valley in autumn has a ripe charm, the chrysanthemum is golden and swaying, the frost leaves are red and yellow, the tomatoes are hanging high like cages, and the golden pears are like bells all over the mountains. It's intoxicating......

Standing on the top of the mountain, Yang Qi looked at this beautiful scenery and couldn't help but be excited. Groaning:

"The golden bell is drunk with red lights, the frost maple huang chrysanthemum flies, and there are few winters and summers in the mountains, I don't know who I am?"

"Good poetry, good poetry!"

Yang Qi turned around and saw a fat old man patting his hands and nodding his head. I don't know where it came from, the old man has a childish face, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and a standard face of a fairy, but there is nothing special. But the outfit is exquisite, you see that you are wearing a tight wrist-length white cloth shirt with a placket, loose strapping bloomers underneath, and knee-high black boots of unknown material. Let's put it this way, the modern kung fu master Sammo Hung is what he looks like when he wears bib pants.

When the old man saw Yang Qi looking at his strange eyes, he also smiled and said:

"Oh, you see I'm in a hurry at this moment, and I've put on all my work clothes. This little brother, forgive me. ”

Yang Qi doesn't care very much, he has seen a lot of strange things recently. So he gave up his hand:

"The old man is well, you are going to ......"

The old man wiped his hands twice on his trousers, and hurriedly returned the salute, saying:

"Little brother, you're good, I'll come......."

As he spoke, he looked around, lowered his voice and continued:

"I'm here to find someone. ”

Yang Qi thought for a while, there is no one else here, it shouldn't be looking for himself, so he said with certainty:

"If you don't look for me, old man, you're in the wrong place, there is no one in this place but me. ”

The old man frowned and said to himself:

"No, I remember that the ancestor was deceived here? These six words on the mountain are the handwriting of the old liar? Could it be that the ancestor really ran away? The theft I made a few days ago was really caused by him? The seventh girl was really released by him and the Bull Demon King? It should be! The monkey has a friendship with the Bull Demon King! If I can't see him for a while, please ask the Three Realms to want him!"

Although Yang Qi didn't understand what he was saying, he also heard some "six words" and "old liar", so he guessed that this old man must know something. The six words on the mountain that the old man said should be the "Om Horn" on the peak that pressed the monkey's flying peak. I only heard the old man say again:

"No, I'd better go and see for myself. ”

Yang Qi saw where the old man flew to the peak, and said that he went to see those six words. He volunteered to lead the way, and by the way, asked the old man about the origin of his six words. The old man chuckled and said:

"You said the old liar's 'I coaxed you'? I'll go and verify something first, and I'll talk to you about it later. ”

As he spoke, he reached the bottom of the flying peak, and the old man did not look up at the six big characters on it, but looked in the grass below, where the monkey was hiding. Yang Qi was afraid that the old man would be frightened by the monkey, so he hurriedly stepped forward. Before he could do so, the old man seemed to be frightened, and shouted:

"Sure enough, I ran away, this monkey!"

Yang Qi was confused, and hurriedly went over to take a look. The monkey was really gone, and there was only a huge and fat lion's mane mushroom there! Yang Qi secretly praised the monkey in his heart for being caring and clever, and did not scare the old man. But he saw the old man pacing back and forth with his hands rubbed together, and shouted:

"What should I do? The monkey is running away again! This dead monkey, bad monkey, smelly monkey, shameless, nasty monkey...... Steal my baby again. When I catch him, I'll have to cut his tail!"

Now the lion's mane mushroom is gone, and after shaking it twice, it transforms into a monkey, and screams:

"Hey, hey, old man, he hasn't come to see me for hundreds of years, but when he comes, he speaks ill of me behind my back!"

The old man was startled, turned his head and carefully confirmed that it was a monkey. reacted quickly, his face immediately turned cloudy and clear, and he said happily:

"You dead monkey, I saw you coming, but you turned into a mushroom to hide from me. If you don't scold, how can you come out to see me?"

Hehe, it's not like a monkey, it's the same as finding a long-lost brother, touching his head and pulling his tail. When he was done, he knocked on the stone, grabbed the monkey's neck and dragged it out, saying that if the stone was not strong, he would save the monkey. In the end, he said that he was afraid of landslides and was going to make a cage to protect the monkeys. Pulling left and right, he took out a bunch of tools and materials from his suspenders, and a pair of skillful hands tossed up and down after a while, and then he smashed out an iron cage with a length and width, which looked sturdy and durable. moved the monkey to tears, and Yang Qi was also enthusiastic, this is the real friendship, a righteous old man!

The old man was about to fix the cage, and Yang Qi made a suggestion, saying that it was possible to make a mechanism for him to take off the cage at any time and feed it to the monkeys? So he shoved the cage back into his bosom, and he didn't know how he did it. The old man asked the monkey what else he wanted, and the monkey saw that he was so sincere, but he was not polite, and said:

"Hey, Lao Sun has been pressed here for hundreds of years, and he only has mountain fruits every day, I really miss your pill brother. ”

"Uh......"

The old man suddenly broke out in a cold sweat with black lines on his head, and said:

"Exercise produces heat, I worked a lot just now, and it's really hot. This, that, Great Sage, you don't know, my Tushi Palace has been stolen again......"

The old man then told the story of the theft of the Tushi Palace that day, saying that the thief was too cunning and left no clues, and he let out an extremely arrogant "ah" when it was over, which resounded through the Three Realms, which was really hateful.

The monkey listened and looked at Yang Qi, as if he had shouted an earth-shattering scream a few days ago, Yang Qi shook his head with his hands, which means that I didn't take the golden pill. Both of them are secretly sighing that they have become scapegoats for others......

The old man immediately wanted to leave on the grounds that he was busy with work, (don't you see that other people's work clothes are all worn out?) and entrusted Yang Qi to take care of the monkeys for him, and he was leaving. Yang Qi remembered that there were still questions to ask him, and hurriedly chased after him.

The two walked to a secluded place, Yang Qi asked the origin of the six characters, and the old man said:

"You're going to ask the old liar, 'Did I coax you?' Behind the back of that stupid monkey. ”

"Once upon a time, there was a poor monkey who was tricked by a crook into raising horses, and he was very tired and had little oil and water, and his labor was squeezed out of him. Later, the monkey didn't do it, and the liar tricked him into going to see the peach orchard. It's just that this time the liar miscalculated, and you said that if you let a monkey go to see the peach orchard, what is the difference between that and letting the weasel watch the chicken? It will only get thinner and thinner the more you look at it! The monkey ate a lot of peaches, and the liar was angry and sent a lot of men to catch the monkeys, and the matter became a big problem. ”

As soon as the old man's eyes turned red when he said this, tears came down and he said:

"That dead monkey deserves it, and I didn't provoke him, and came to my house and stole a lot of my treasures. Hey, don't mention the sad things. ”

"In short, the crook's house was made restless by monkeys. Later, when the liar saw that it couldn't be done, he found an old liar from the West. The old liar made a bet with the monkey and set a trap, and the monkey was fooled, and the old liar wrote these six words to mock him. ”

Yang Qi asked again what kind of trap it was, and the old man looked proud and said:

"Only I can see through this set, knowledge is power, the monkey's stupid, he still boasts that he has the ability, and he hasn't learned the basic mathematical knowledge well, but he is really a stone head. ”

The old man tested Yang Qi for a math problem: a circle with a circumference of 80,000 li, and a monkey with a heel fight of 108,000 li. Take a little bit at random and let the monkey set off, at least how many laps later he will fall back to the original point? Who has Yang Qi been with Mr. Chongyan for many years, and his arithmetic is still qualified, after a little thought, he said:

"Twenty-seven laps. ”

The old man stretched out his thumb and said:

"Clever. Here's what the old liar said, 'Monkey head, you said you had a somersault of 108,000 miles, and I asked you to turn over 3927!' You couldn't turn it out of the palm of my hand!' The stupid monkey was deceived like this, and he was ridiculed, 'I coaxed you?' ”

Only then did Yang Qi know that the six characters of "Om Horn Rat" were originally understood in this way, it was not mana that defeated the monkey, it was knowledge, and he felt that knowledge was power for the first time!

This old man knows the biggest secret of the Three Realms for hundreds of years, but he can't say it, which is also a kind of torture. I spoke it out today, and I felt a lot more comfortable. He was not afraid of Yang Qi leaking it, his words were all liars, old liars, who knows who it was? So he said to Yang Qi:

"Little brother, you and I have a fate today, I talk a lot. Don't ask me who those two liars are, just know that there are two biggest liars in each of them: one has eaten my pill for so many years and never gives money, and the other has deceived Brother Monkey so badly, and he said 'I coaxed you' very inhumanely. In the future, if you meet someone who says, 'I've coaxed you,' be careful. ”

"As for these words today, let alone listen to the monkey. That monkey is competitive and face-loving, and if he knew that he had lost in such a retarded problem, he was afraid that he would go crazy with shame. Anyway, I got acquainted with him, although there was some misunderstanding, it was also a match. Here's a book, you help me teach him, farewell. ”

With that, he threw down a book and drifted away.

Yang Qi was overjoyed, he finally got the secret book of the immortals, and there was hope for cultivating immortals!
