Zhang Xiaofan came up to the mountain and came to the familiar bamboo forest, but he saw that the mountains were verdant, layer upon layer, the mountain wind passed by, and the bamboo sea rose and fell, like the waves of the sea, which was extremely spectacular, and his heart was suddenly wide.

He took a deep breath of the fresh mountain air, moved his body, and walked into the bamboo forest with a firewood knife. The place he went to was different from when he first came three years ago, it was in the deepest part of the bamboo forest, where there were large bamboos and the bamboo was even harder.

In the early morning, the light mist wafts through the forest, like a light veil, and there are crystal dew drops on the green bamboo leaves on both sides of the path, which is beautiful and clear.

After walking for a while, you will be in the middle of the green sea, where most of the black knotted bamboos are towering, and the branches and foliage are luxuriant, reaching into the sky, and the light penetrates through the gaps in the branches and leaves, leaving a shadow on the ground. Zhang Xiaofan looked left and right, picked a big black bamboo, compared it to painting, and then raised his knife to cut.

"Poof", there was a muffled sound suddenly, Zhang Xiaofan only felt a pain in his head, but he was hit on the forehead by an object. He looked down and saw a pine cone rolling on the ground. There are black knotted bamboos on the left and right in front of here, and there are many bamboo shoots, but there are absolutely no pine cones.

He thought for a moment, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, looked around, and said loudly: "Senior sister, is it you?"

His voice spread far away through the bamboo forest, but no one answered for a long time. Zhang Xiaofan knew that his senior sister had always been naughty and loved to play tricks on people, and was about to shout again, when suddenly his brain hurt again, and the pain was so great that he was thrown by a pine cone again, and above his head, there was also a scream of "squeak".

Zhang Xiaofan looked up in pain, and saw that on this black bamboo, there was a gray-haired monkey crawling at some point, holding a few pine cones in his hands, and his tail hanging upside down on the bamboo branches, "squeaking" squeaky laughter, with a gloating appearance.

Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a while, he had never seen a monkey in the bamboo forest in the past three years, and almost all of the bamboo forests on the big bamboo peak were bamboo forests, only there was a pine and cypress forest in the deep valley of the mountain, it seemed that this monkey lived there, and now he didn't know how to run up the mountain.

The big bamboo peak is tall and steep, although there is no Tongtian Peak higher than the clouds, but it also goes straight into the sea of clouds, climbs up from the foot of the mountain, there is almost no way to go, the disciples in the Qingyun Gate are mostly in the sky to come and go. Zhang Xiaofan's cultivation is shallow, in addition to cutting bamboo, rì often has also heard the senior brothers talk about it, the pine and cypress trees in the deep valley behind the big bamboo peak are forested, deep and unfathomable, and the people are inaccessible. Back then, the ancestor of the Great Bamboo Peak lineage had also been explored in the deep valley by the sword, but it was only a primeval forest, and there was nothing strange about it, but there were more fierce beasts and poisonous insects, but they never came out of the valley, so they had nothing to do with each other over the years.

He was thinking about it, when he suddenly saw the monkey's hand raised, his heart jumped, and he hurriedly moved away, and sure enough, another pine cone fell down, and if he didn't dodge, he would suffer again.

When the gray monkey saw him dodge, he screamed twice, and his face was angry, as if he blamed Zhang Xiaofan for not dodging.

Zhang Xiaofan made a grimace at the monkey, ignored it, and walked away, thinking that this monkey actually took pleasure in smashing people, but it was rare, it was really an ignorant beast. He took two steps, suddenly heard the sound of the wind behind his ears, couldn't dodge, "poof", the back of his head was hit by a hard pine cone, this time the force was not light, Zhang Xiaofan only felt that his eyes were dark, and he couldn't help but scream.

I saw the monkey clapping his hands and laughing on the bamboo branches, dangling from one place to another, and he was very happy. Zhang Xiaofan was furious in his heart, rushed over and shook the bamboo violently, and a huge black knotted bamboo was shaken from side to side by him, but the gray monkey only wrapped his tail around the bamboo trunk and let him swing it around, not afraid at all, but "squeaked" and laughed non-stop.

Zhang Xiaofan saw that he couldn't help the monkey, and he was even more annoyed in his heart, so he pulled out a firewood knife and cut the bamboo. The monkey was not afraid, but only looked at him with interest from the bamboo.

Zhang Xiaofan was covered with sweat, and finally cut seven or eight points, seeing that success was imminent, he suddenly heard a scream on the bamboo, looked up, and saw the gray monkey's tail swinging, his body flew up, and he actually jumped on another black bamboo next to him, and then "snapped" and threw a pine cone down.

Zhang Xiaofan was furious, and he didn't care if the monkey could understand it or not, so he pointed at it and said loudly: "If there is a kind, you will come down." ”

The gray monkey scratched his head, tilted his head and thought for a long time, probably still didn't understand what a kind of seed was, just laughed out loud and made a big face at Zhang Xiaofan.

Zhang Xiaofan was half angry with it, but he was helpless, he barely finished his homework, but his head was hit seven or eight times by the monkey, and he was in pain.

Zhang Xiaofan was full of anger, hated to go down the mountain, and ignored the monkey. Unexpectedly, the monkey was addicted to playing, and waited in the bamboo forest for several hours in the morning, once Zhang Xiaofan came to cut the bamboo, he took pleasure in smashing him, and looked at Zhang Xiaofan's annoyed appearance, and was extremely happy.

※※※

Before dinner, Tian Ling'er pulled Zhang Xiaofan aside and asked secretly, "Xiaofan, what's wrong with your head?"

Zhang Xiaofan was bullied by the gray monkey even rì, his head was smashed and bruised and purple, and he was in pain, but he felt that it was very embarrassing to be played by a monkey, so he didn't say anything.

Tian Ling'er's red lips were flattened, and she couldn't help laughing, and two small dimples appeared on her face, which was really beautiful. Zhang Xiaofan seemed to be teased by her, and it seemed to be something else, his face was inexplicably hot, and he lowered his head.

Tian Ling'er patted Zhang Xiaofan's shoulder with a big grin, and said, "Don't worry, junior brother, these days my mother wants me to practice in the Taiji Cave more and prepare for the 'Seven Veins Martial Arts' in two years, but I didn't expect you to be bullied by a monkey." Don't worry, I'll accompany you up the mountain and teach that bad monkey a lesson. ”

Her tone is old-fashioned, but she has a little bit of coaxing children, but Zhang Xiaofan has been used to hearing it since she was a child, and she doesn't care about a wry smile.

In the early morning of the next day, Tian Linger really got up early and went up the back mountain with Zhang Xiaofan.

The cool breeze in the mountains was blowing slowly, and Tian Ling'er was dressed in red, just like when she and Zhang Xiaofan went up the mountain to cut bamboo for the first time, jumping and walking in front. Zhang Xiaofan followed behind, looking at the beautiful girl in front of him, like a red cloud, gently fluttering in the mountains, with the mountain wind, there seemed to be a faint fragrance.

He was in a trance in his heart, and suddenly he had a feeling of how good it would be if he walked down like this forever.

He was thinking about it, but Tian Ling'er had already gone far, looked back, and shouted loudly: "Xiaofan, why are you so slow!"

Zhang Xiaofan woke up, his face was red, he didn't dare to think about it anymore, and hurriedly chased after him.

Before the two of them came to the bamboo forest, Tian Ling'er said to Zhang Xiaofan: "Xiaofan, you go in alone first, and I will follow behind." ”

Zhang Xiaofan nodded, walked in with a firewood knife, walked a few steps, and suddenly remembered to tell Tian Ling'er to be careful, turned around to look, but she was gone.

He was stunned for a moment, and there was a confusion in his heart for some reason, and then he shook his head, put aside those boring thoughts, and walked towards the depths of the bamboo forest. When we arrived at our destination, there was silence in the woods. Zhang Xiaofan raised his eyes and looked around, but he couldn't find the gray-haired monkey. He muttered in his heart: Don't you want that monkey to pass the spirit, I expected that he had found a helper today, and he didn't dare to come.

Thinking in his heart, he looked around, but he couldn't find any trace of the monkey, which was also in vain, so he had to go to a black knotted bamboo and make a gesture to cut it.

"Squeak squeak", suddenly, a familiar scream sounded overhead.

Zhang Xiaofan immediately jumped away like a reverse, but he felt a pain on the top of his head, but it was too late, and he was hit by a pine cone, so it didn't hurt. Zhang Xiaofan looked up and saw the gray monkey hanging upside down on the bamboo branch as usual, laughing non-stop.

He was overjoyed, jumped up and pointed at the monkey and laughed, "Haha, you're finally here!"

His voice was not loud, but the monkey was startled by him, thinking that this person was always thunderous when he was smashed in peace, and he was angry, why was he overjoyed today, was he smashed a few times by me, and he was actually addicted to it, and he was uncomfortable if he didn't smash it, and he was happy when he was smashed?

At this moment, a red shadow suddenly flashed in the bamboo forest, Tian Ling'er stepped on the "Amber Zhu Aya", came from the sky, as fast as lightning, five fingers into claws, and grabbed the monkey.

Unexpectedly, the monkey was extremely clever, and when he glanced at the corner of his eye, he immediately reacted, and the tail wrapped around the bamboo branch immediately loosened, and his whole body fell. Tian Ling'er calculated the direction in which it fled backwards, forwards, left and right, and pursued it, but he didn't expect the gray monkey to fall, so he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment and grabbed it.

Zhang Xiaofan made a gesture underground, but saw the monkey in mid-air lightly stretching his monkey arm, grasping the bamboo stem, and immediately attached it, and then stopped without hesitation, as if he knew that the woman in red above was powerful, and immediately swayed and jumped, shaking from one bamboo to another and then to the next, intending to escape.

Tian Ling'er was so competitive that she shouted in mid-air: "Chase!" With a pull of his left hand, Amber Zhu Aya broke through the air, and Zhang Xiaofan ran away as soon as he took a step underground, striding after him.

If it was on the clearing, with the speed of amber and Zhu Aya, it would not take long for Tian Ling'er to catch the gray monkey, but now in the dense bamboo forest, it was a big obstacle. The gray monkey was extremely clever, never running in a straight line, swaying left and right in the woods, bending and bending, running forward. Tian Ling'er had to pay attention to the monkey tracking, and on the other hand, he had to beware of the ubiquitous black knotted bamboo, which was very troublesome. As for Zhang Xiaofan, he was only chasing on the ground and was in a hurry, and he couldn't help.

The two of them chased after the monkey so quickly, and in the scream of the gray monkey's "squeak", I don't know how long they had been chasing, Zhang Xiaofan's breathing was getting heavier, and he was already tired, and he thought that he had chased far away.

But when I saw the verdant bamboo forest in front of me, it seemed endless, and it was coming layer by layer. Zhang Xiaofan's mouth was dry, and suddenly he saw a gray shadow flashing in front of him, and he fell straight down. He was overjoyed, and suddenly the god of jīng came, and rushed forward with all his strength, and at this moment, Tian Ling'er suddenly shouted urgently: "Be careful!"

In front of Zhang Xiaofan, a cliff appeared in Huo Ran, Zhang Xiaofan hurriedly retracted his feet and almost fell. He made up his mind, but saw a deep valley under the cliff, and there was a thick fog in the distance in the valley, and he couldn't see clearly, and the nearby valley wall was no longer a black knotted bamboo, but all kinds of miscellaneous trees and wild trees, pine and cypress, it turned out that they had chased to the valley in the far distance of the back mountain.

Zhang Xiaofan saw the gray monkey falling, and repeated his old trick in the air, grabbing the branch and swinging his body, he turned into the power of the fall and fled forward.

He was in a hurry, when he suddenly heard the sound of breaking the sky, and when he looked up, he saw Tian Ling'er's red clothes fluttering, coming from the sky, stretching out a hand like jade to him, and shouting: "Come up." ”

Zhang Xiaofan didn't have time to think about it, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Tian Ling'er, Tian Ling'er pulled him hard, pulling him on top of Zhu Aya, "Amber Zhu Aya" suddenly sank, but immediately returned to its original state.

Zhang Xiaofan had this experience for the first time, and he was at a loss, Tian Ling'er pulled him behind him and said angrily: "Hold my waist, quickly." ”

Zhang Xiaofan hugged him as he said, Tian Ling'er couldn't wait to lead Aya to fly away, the red shadow swept by, and the two of them rushed straight into the deep valley with the "Amber Zhu Aya", chasing after the gray monkey figure.

The wind was cold, Zhang Xiaofan felt that he was whirring, he could hardly even open his eyes, but the "amber Zhu Aya" under his feet seemed to be soft but not soft, making people feel that they were going to fall down if they were not careful, he was a little scared in his heart, and he couldn't help hugging Tian Ling'er tighter, only to feel that the red clothes were like clouds, floating in front of him, and the back of the senior sister was also like a fairy of the Nine Heavens, which was incomparably beautiful, and there was a faint fragrance, wafting into his nose, he felt a burst of joy in his heart, and he really hoped that this time would not pass by the best.

Where did Tian Ling'er think of all the strange thoughts of the little boy behind him, and his heart was on the gray monkey in front of him. She is very much loved and praised by her parents and brothers, and she is quite proud, and now she can't catch up with a monkey, which is unacceptable.

So in the deep valley, between the shadows of the trees, but seeing the gray shadow in front of them, the red shadow chased after him, dangling around, chasing and running.

After chasing for another half an hour, the gray monkey didn't know what kind of alien species it was, but it didn't show any signs of exhaustion, and it still fled quickly. But after such a long chase, Tian Ling'er has gradually become familiar with the method of shuttling through the forest, and he is getting closer and closer.

The gray monkey fled all the way to the depths of the valley, Zhang Xiaofan looked forward from behind Tian Ling'er, and saw that the trees in front of him were thinning, and the light was shining through, and it was vaguely a clearing, and there seemed to be the sound of water. At this time, the gray monkey's scream became more and more urgent, as if he couldn't imagine that the two people chased for a long time and didn't give up, but they couldn't retreat, so they had to desperately flee forward.

Not long after, the eyes lit up, and sure enough, it was an open clearing, the ground was full of gravel, and there was a small blue pool in the middle, and the water was rippling, flowing westward. The gray monkey fled here, obviously hesitating, but the sound of breaking the air behind him came in the blink of an eye, and he had no choice but to fall to the ground and run forward again. But for some reason, its pace has become extremely slow, and it seems to be running for its life, and it is almost like a walk. Rao is so, it is still moving forward step by step.

Zhang Xiaofan saw it in his eyes, and his heart was strange, but Tian Ling'er wanted to quickly avoid obstacles, and on the other hand, he wanted to pay attention to the monkey tracks, and his whole mind was highly concentrated, where did he think so much, seeing that the gray monkey was in front of him, he was overjoyed, and with a scolding, he drove Aya straight in, rushed into the clearing, and pounced on the gray monkey.

Seeing that he was about to catch the monkey, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly made a "bang" in his head, his body shook twice involuntarily, and a feeling of nausea and vomiting rose from his five internal organs, rushing straight to his brain, and his whole body trembled in a moment. Zhang Xiaofan was taken aback and at a loss, at this moment, his chest suddenly became hot, and a warm air spread out, protecting his heart, and then counteracting the nausea.

Zhang Xiaofan subconsciously looked at his chest and felt that the warmth came from the deep purple bead that Pu Zhi gave him. At the same time, Tian Ling'er's body in front of him suddenly trembled twice, and his body went soft, and he actually fell.

The two of them were in mid-air, and once Tian Ling'er lost control, Amber Zhu Aya immediately stopped, and the two fell from mid-air when they landed.

Zhang Xiaofan rolled on the ground a few times, and it was painful, but he couldn't care about it so much, and before he could stand up, he hurriedly shouted: "Senior sister, senior sister, are you okay?"

I saw Tian Ling'er lying in front of her, motionless, her face pale, her forehead full of cold sweat, and she had fainted.

Zhang Xiaofan was shocked, guessing that most of it had something to do with the strange feeling just now, so he endured the pain at the moment, got up and ran to Tian Ling'er's side, pushed her and screamed several times, but Tian Ling'er still didn't respond.

Zhang Xiaofan looked around again, and saw that with the pool of clear water as the center, within three zhang, there was no grass, but outside the three zhang, there was a lush forest. He gritted his teeth, forcibly held back the nausea that appeared in his heart from time to time, picked up Tian Ling'er, and at the same time picked up the amber Zhu Aya that was thrown aside, and walked out.

The distance of two zhang is not worth mentioning in normal times, but under the invasion of that disgusting feeling from time to time, it is extremely difficult to walk. It was not easy to walk out of Sanzhang and come to a big pine tree, and the nausea disappeared immediately.

Zhang Xiaofan put down Tian Ling'er, panting heavily, and looked at the waterhole, only to see that the gray monkey had stayed there, no longer moving, his face was full of pain, looking here, there was a lot of distress in his eyes.

Zhang Xiaofan frowned, he couldn't bear it after all, so he stood up and walked inside. After only a few steps, the nausea returned, and the heat in his chest resurfaced to resist the discomfort.

Zhang Xiaofan slowly walked to the monkey's side, he was already sweating profusely, and the gray monkey saw him coming to his side, motionless, and seemed to be overwhelmed. Zhang Xiaofan took a deep breath, leaned over to pick up the monkey, turned around and walked out. The gray monkey was very obedient at this time, and lay quietly in his arms.

finally walked out again, walked to Tian Ling'er, who was still unconscious, and the nausea disappeared. Zhang Xiaofan put down the gray monkey, sat down on the ground, gasping for breath, and the gray monkey also breathed a sigh of relief, lying on the ground, his eyes dripping and rolling, but he didn't run away, just looked at Zhang Xiaofan.

Zhang Xiaofan unbuttoned his clothes, took out the bead tied with a red rope and examined it carefully, only to see that the original dark purple sè appearance had turned into a light purple sè, and the green qi inside seemed to be stimulated by something, and the hovering speed was ten times faster, turning non-stop, and crashing into the appearance of the bead everywhere. As before, every time Qingqi hits it, there will be a Buddhist mantra "e" character coming out to block it. And the warmth that saved Zhang Xiaofan just now came from this mantra.

It's just that Zhang Xiaofan clearly saw that compared with when he first discovered it three years ago, those Buddhist "e" mantras are much inferior in terms of size and brightness.
