Chapter 40: Unicorn Grass

Qilin Cliff, Monkey Head Peak. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The peak is 100 feet high and stands thousands of feet on the ground. It was like a flying stone from the sky, appearing here suddenly, and mortals couldn't climb it at all.

Hou Ping'an and the four of them circled around this monkey head peak, hoping to find a way to go up. But I went back and forth a few times, but I found nothing. Yue Niu complained there after turning around twice, so as not to look a little irritable.

"Monkey, you said that this monkey head peak doesn't look like a monkey's head, but it looks like a chopstick, how can people go up?"

Hou Ping'an also frowned, carefully looking at the mountain peak in front of him. But no matter how he looked at it, he didn't think he could go up.

"I don't know, but with the light skill level of a few of us, I don't have to think about it. ”

The boulder is about 50 zhang high, smooth as a mirror on all sides, like a carved jade, which makes people have no way to borrow. No matter how good you are, there is no possibility of going up.

After the four of them watched the kung fu of a stick of incense and found that it was really impossible to climb, they went down the cliff and prepared to continue south. On the way, I met a woodcutter, specially inquired about the name of this place, and after preparing to return to the mountain gate, I asked the elders in the door if they could climb this peak. But I didn't want to be told by the woodcutter that all macaques in this mountain can climb this peak.

This made Hou Ping'an very curious, people like them who have kung fu can't climb up, but monkeys can?

Although the martial arts of the four are not outstanding, they are also a small success. Qin Hao is even more in light work, comparable to Hou Dahai and them. He didn't think he could climb the boulder, but the macaque could do it?

A few people who didn't believe what the woodcutter said, specially caught a macaque and came to the cliff to try. Unexpectedly, the macaque really climbed this peak in the stunned eyes of the four people.

After the macaque felt that the four of them could not climb the boulder, they dropped the gravel and weeds from the top of the mountain.

If that were all there was to it, the four teenagers, after satisfying their curiosity, might have turned around and headed south.

didn't think about it, but Hou Ping'an saw something he had only seen in books in the things left by the macaques - unicorn grass.

This is what they wanted specially explained by Hou Dahai before they went out, but they didn't expect to come across it so easily.

Hou Dahai wants Qilin grass, in fact, several of them know it. They have a fifth uncle, that is, Liu Meng's father. When he was young, he fought on the battlefield, unfortunately fell into disability, broke the bones of his legs and legs, and lay in bed all year round.

Moreover, they also knew that the elders in the sect had already gathered the herbs for the preparation of the bone intermittent ointment, except for this unicorn grass.

I have been looking for a miracle medicine for more than ten years, but I didn't expect to meet them here.

After informing the other three, they slowed down their journey south.

"Monkey, why don't we go back and tell the owner? Maybe they have a way to go up, but we'll only be out for six or seven days anyway. ”

Just as Hou Ping'an was about to agree, he didn't expect to hear a strange whistle. After the whistle, the macaque on the boulder made a "squeak" sound, as if in response.

This made Hou Ping'an's eyes glaze.

Were macaques domesticated?

After signaling the other three to be on guard, Hou Ping'an looked towards the place where the whistle came from.

Sure enough, after the whistle sounded twice in succession, a young man wearing a tiger skin appeared in his field of vision.

The boy was a little surprised at first, but he didn't expect to meet non-tribal people here. Looking at Hou Ping'an's eyes, he was full of vigilance. But after thinking about it, he still walked towards this side, but there was a little more solemnity in his eyes than just now.

When the boy was completely close, Hou Ping'an and the others saw clearly that this was a tribal boy wearing a tiger skin.

Tiger skin, straw sandals, hair, unknown totems painted on his face, and a whistle of unknown material hanging around his neck.

Hou Ping'an acted from afar and released his kindness. But the tiger-skinned boy didn't make any response, and stood still.

Four against one, they are all strangers, and as long as they are not fools, they will not come close.

Hou Ping'an took a step forward, intending to ask if the macaque was raised by him.

But after Hou Ping'an took a step forward, the tiger-skinned boy took the initiative to take a step back.

Hou Ping'an went further, and the young man went back. After doing this again and again, Hou Ping'an had to stand still far away and asked loudly.

"The four of us are from Tiannan County, Great Zhou, and they have no malicious intentions, but they just want to ask Brother Tai, is the peak macaque raised by you?"

Speaking of Baidao Villa or Wuyun Mansion, Hou Ping'an was afraid that the other party would not know, after all, the people of the southern tribe rarely communicated with the Central Plains except for necessary transactions.

"Are you from Da Zhou? If you have anything, just say it directly, don't be so Wen Zou Zou, my grandfather said that those who speak Wen Zou Zou are not good people. ”

As soon as he heard this, he knew that his grandfather had suffered at the hands of literati. Such people often have a hard time gaining the favor of the other party verbally. So Hou Ping'an decided to be simple and rude.

He directly took out a piece of gold ingot and put it in his hand, and then asked the other party: "If that macaque is raised by you, I want to ask you to do me a favor, and the gold ingot in your hand is the reward." ”

If he went further south, he would not necessarily take out the gold ingots, because the people of the tribes in the mountains did not necessarily know each other.

But in this place, which is only six or seven days away from the Hundred Swords Villa, Hou Ping'an doesn't think that a young man who can afford to wear a tiger skin will not know gold.

Sure enough, after he took out the gold ingot, the boy's eyes lit up with blue light. But after he finished speaking, the greedy gaze gradually cleared.

"I can't be the master, if you want my macaque to help, you have to go back to the tribe with me and ask my grandfather. ”

Hearing this, Hou Ping'an's eyes flashed.

The person in front of him is definitely not an ordinary person from the southern Xinjiang tribe.

It's definitely not that he can't do such a thing. It's likely that this guy thinks of himself as a Kaizi and wants to kill him. But I'm afraid that the slaughter will be light, so I want to bring myself back to the tribe and let his grandfather take action.

Thinking of this, Hou Ping'an couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, it seemed that he was still too reckless, he shouldn't have taken out the gold ingot directly just now, but should have tried it first.

But no matter how annoyed you are, now you can only be led by the other party.

After leaving Qin Hao to guard here, Hou Ping'an took the two brothers Yue Xiong and Yue Niu to the tribe where the young man was.

The tribe of the tiger-skinned boy is not far away, and it is only an hour's walk from the Qilin Cliff.

When Hou Ping'an came to this tribe, it was noon. In the open space of the tribe, several people are cooking. This made Hou Ping'an a little curious,

After a closer look, Hou Ping'an found that many of the branches of the wooden houses were even watery.

As he went deeper, he became curious about what seemed to be a tribe of only a few hundred people.

The wooden houses are all newly built, and the houses are located like battle formations.

Hou Ping'an had all kinds of speculations about the leader of this tribe. But no matter how curious he was, he didn't forget the purpose of his visit.

When he came to the front of the largest wooden house, Hou Ping'an saw a scene that shocked him.

Most of his previous speculations were confirmed by the scene in front of him.
