It is said that Xie Gongbao and Fang Siqiao crossed the Heishui River and found a secluded forest by relying on the giant tree in the sky.

But when I found the intoxicated ape, I found that it looked sad and unwilling to pay attention to people, and walked into the forest with its hands hunched and old dragon bells on its back. Xie Gongbao led Fang Siqiao to follow all the way, he talked to the drunken ape, the drunken ape still refused to pay attention to him, Xie Gongbao was really puzzled, so he guessed and asked: "Uncle Ape, are you having trouble with Mr. again?

No matter what he said, the intoxicated ape just didn't say anything anyway.

It was like a walking corpse, walking crookedly to the point of losing its strength.

Fang Siqiao saw some clues, pulled Xie Gongbao, and whispered: "Uncle Bai is not here, something may have happened, right? Don't stare at me, I'm guessing, with Uncle Bai's cultivation, what can happen, anyway, I feel that it is not small, don't quarrel with it first, let's follow behind, and when it is in a better mood, you can ask it again." ”

Xie Gongbao guessed: "Is it because the master didn't bring it when he went out, and it sulked?"

This forest is not big, but it is not small, there are flowers and water, and the winding path is secluded.

The intoxicated ape walked into the depths of the forest and went straight to the bottom of the giant tree.

The tree was so big that even if two hundred people came, they couldn't surround it, and when they looked up along the trunk, there was a house at a height of two hundred meters. Seeing the intoxicated ape climb up, Xie Gongbao and Fang Siqiao also climbed up one after another, crawling to the door of the house, and a big smell of wine wafted from the house, it turned out that there was a lot of wine brewed in the house, and there was a small wine pool in front of the door. The drunken ape stumbled to the edge of the wine pool, filled the wine gourd, and then lay on his back on the branch, drinking and watching the sky.

Xie Gongbao wanted to go over and talk to her several times, but Fang Siqiao stopped him.

The two of them could only accompany each other from afar, watching the drunken ape drink and fall asleep.

Fang Siqiao knew that Xie Gongbao was extremely respectful to the intoxicating ape and regarded himself as a junior, so he gave him an idea, telling him to talk less and do more, and in the next six days, Xie Gongbao went to pick fruits and fetch water every day according to Fang Siqiao's intentions, taking care of the intoxicating ape's three meals a day. - In fact, Fang Siqiao was thoughtful, she had already felt that the drunken ape was sad as death, she had a bad premonition but didn't dare to say it clearly, she looked at the drunken ape pitiful, and she couldn't bear it, so she could only send Xie Gongbao to take care of it, which could be regarded as comfort.

As the saying goes, the human heart is long, and the ape is the same.

In the past six days, Xie Gongbao has taken care of him silently, and the intoxicated ape naturally feels it, and his mood has improved slightly. The first three days were silent, and on the fourth day, there was a little reaction, sometimes he would get old, straighten his waist and whine twice at Xie Gongbao, although it didn't mean anything, at least it showed that he was willing to speak.

In the early morning of the seventh day, Xie Gongbao was asleep and noticed the figure in front of him shaking.

He opened his eyes and found the drunken ape hanging upside down on the beams of the room, looking at him face to face.

Xie Gongbao said: "Uncle Ape is hungry, what do you want to eat, I'll get it." ”

The drunken ape jumped off the beam, shook its head with its back and walked away, and after walking out of the door, it looked back into the room again, and pursed its thick lips vigorously, as if it had made some decision, and then waved at Xie Gongbao.

Xie Gongbao was overjoyed and ran out: "Uncle Ape, you are willing to talk to me." ”

The intoxicated ape pointed to the west, whined twice, and waved his hand weakly.

Xie Gongbao has been with him for five years, and he can understand the ape language seven or eight times out of ten: "You told me to go back?" I came to find Mr., and I can't go back if I don't see Mr. Uncle Ape, tell me, sir, where has he been? Why haven't you seen him come back all these days? ”

The intoxicated ape looked up at the sky, was stunned for a long time, and whined a few more times in his mouth.

Xie Gongbao said: "You mean, sir, he ...... He's ascended?"

The intoxicating ape nodded, sad, and a sad face.

Xie Gongbao was stupid for a moment, and said to himself: "There is still half a year left in the period of the Nine Shadows, and the Heavenly Road has not yet opened, how can he ascend? Uncle Ape, don't lie to me, even if Mr.'s cultivation reaches the Nine Heavens, it is still early for the reincarnation of Yin and Yang, and if he wants to ascend, there is no way to ascend." ”

At this time, Fang Siqiao woke up and said:

"Brother Xiaobao, there is a way. ”

Xie Gongbao asked, "Where is the road?"

Fang Si said weakly: "Your memory is so bad, you have actually seen this flying road a long time ago, I heard you say that you subdued the meridian rat in the Yihe faction, and then how did you control the meridian rat to fly out? What did you see during this period? You might as well think about it carefully." ”

Xie Gongbao pondered and recalled, remembering the tower built by the Yihe faction.

On that day, he flew out of the top of the tower on a meridian rat, almost out of the sky.

Above the top of the tower, there is a slowly rotating black cloud, and there is a black hole in the cloud.

Thinking of this, his nerves tightened, and he was stunned: "That black hole thunder flashes, it can't be ......!"

Fang Si smiled weakly: "Yes, that may be the Heavenly Road." The Five Elements Spirit Beast has the aura of heaven and earth, saying that they can open the way of heaven, I think it makes sense, think about it, why does the meridian rat use the earth to repair the tower, it has nothing to do when it is full, maybe it just wants to open the way of heaven. Speaking of this, she pointed to the sky and said: "Look at this tree again, this tree is transformed by the essence and blood of the ape, and it is connected with the aura of heaven and earth, otherwise it is impossible to break through the sky, I expect that this is the heavenly road." Brother Xiaobao, Uncle Bai's ascension is a good thing, don't be so sad. ”

Xie Gongbao said: "Ascension is also a catastrophe, how can it be so easy, I have to go up and take a look." ”

Fang Siwei nodded: "Okay then, I'll go with you." ”

Xie Gongbao refused to let her go up, and said: "Jue Yan Shabi has the power of grounding, the higher the cultivation, the more force, if you climb up with me, I am afraid that when you are physically exhausted, I will not be able to protect you, you still stay here and wait for me." Uncle Ape, I'll go up to my husband, and you will take care of her for me. With that, he jumped up with his legs, grabbed the trunk of the tree like a monkey, and jumped up and down.

The drunken ape saw him climb to a high place and hung the wine gourd around his waist.

Then, beating his chest and screaming, he also jumped and climbed up.

It climbed so fast that it caught up with Xie Gongbao and chirped twice.

Xie Gongbao said: "You said that it is dangerous above, you accompany me up?"

The intoxicated ape nodded angrily, and then one ape went straight to the sky as if walking, but the power of this grounding was very restrictive, and the more they climbed, the stronger the effect of this strange force, as if they couldn't pull them down. Xie Gongbao and the drunken ape gritted their teeth and fought against the grounding force, and it took five hours to climb up to the clouds from below.

Climb over the clouds, and they can't climb anymore.

After resting for an hour, he continued to climb again.

Crawl until dark, so that the power of the grounding is almost out of strength.

They rested for the night, and then climbed less than a hundred meters, and suddenly seemed to have broken through some barrier, and the power of their grounding suddenly disappeared. Looking down, the clouds and mist were drifting below, but they were far away, and when they looked up at the sky, the sky was as blue as the sea. There was a small black cloud high in the sky, but it was not clear to see, Xie Gong Bao expected that it must be the heavenly road, so he ran up with the black cloud of the drunken ape.

Without the restraint of the power of grounding, they climbed like a run, as fast as two lightning bolts.

As they climbed higher and higher, the treetops were in sight, and the black clouds grew larger.

So much so that when they climbed to the top of the tree, the black cloud was so big that even the sky covered it.
