Chapter 364
After hearing Dahuang's words, we looked at each other, and Zhao Wuji scratched his head and said, "Why did I hear Dahuang say it's like the Flower and Fruit Mountain Water Curtain Cave? Could it be that there is a Monkey King in front of him?"
I glanced at Zhao Wuji and signaled him not to joke at this time. It was obvious that Dahuang had ignored the monkey's "threat". I don't know if the nervousness of Dahuang after entering the mountain was because of the monkey. Anyway, Dahuang was still serious at this time. I turned to it and said, "Master, are those monkeys very powerful?"
"It is easy to kill them all, but if everything has spirits, it is really different from those people if we really kill them? And who knows what the relationship between these monkeys and that ghost slave is." Dahuang said.
I didn't know what to say for a moment. Judging from the performance of the white monkey just now, I would definitely not compromise, and we could not force ourselves into it. However, if we were to leave now, it would definitely be unrealistic. Things seemed to be in a difficult situation. At this moment, we all felt the silence of Dahuang and no one said anything. Chen Xiaolan went to bring all the prepared foods. The meal was as delicious as chewing wax. After the meal, Dahuang coughed dryly and said, "Ba Qian, come with me."
Zhao Wuji and I looked at each other, and he nodded to let me feel at ease that he would take care of him here. I looked at Erhuang again. Erhuang shrugged at me helplessly. I smiled at him, and then followed Dahuang toward the dense forest. The direction we were walking was the direction where the three monkeys disappeared. Dahuang walked silently in front of him. The talking Dahuang made people feel unreliable, but the talking Dahuang made people feel unlimited pressure. It has always been arrogant and planned and ignored all the pressure. I can't even think of any solution to the difficult things it feels.
We walked forward silently. On the road ahead, I saw the dry bones scattered everywhere on the ground. Some of the dry bones were dry and yellow, and they looked far away. Some of the dead bones were still filled with flesh and blood that was not completely decayed. I could even hear the sound of insects passing through the flesh and blood. The rotten smell of the corpse mixed with the smell of fermented plants and trees in the forests made people feel very uncomfortable. At this time, I really felt the pressure through these dry bones. Those monkeys were not kidding or bluffing. People close to these forests would really be killed by them.
"Master, these monkeys are definitely not a day when they are big. Since the coffin canyon is so important to the Xuanmen people in Shu, how could they sit and see these monkeys occupy the mountain and become king?" I asked Dahuang and said. Since I chatted with Dahuang, I have accepted Dahuang as the master from my heart. Once I accept something in my heart, everything has become so natural. Every time I talk to Dahuang, I will unconsciously bring out the word "master".
"The two sides of the coffin gorge are cliffs and terrain is very dangerous. In the past, the monks in Shu knew that these monkeys existed and knew that these monkeys were smarter than those outside. However, the people of Xuanmen did not feel the threat of these monkeys. At the beginning, they raised and domesticated these monkeys and asked these monkeys to climb the cliffs to help them find lost classics. The monkeys were agile and did help the Xuanmen people. They never thought that those monkeys would secretly store the classics and practice secretly. Speaking of which, these monkeys were considered to be extremely low-key. By the time Xuanmen reacted, these monkeys had already gained the climate. But at that time, Xuanmen was still not afraid of monkeys. These monkeys really occupied the mountain and became kings for only these years. After all, they were still as the Bend Six.
It was related to suppressing the Xuanmen in the world. At that time, the Xuanmen was seriously injured and had no time to come to the Coffin Gorge, giving these monkeys a chance to breathe. And at this time, a spiritual monkey appeared among the monkeys. A monkey carried the banner of the entire Wushan monkey group, and the monkey was also related to the ghost slave, completely letting these monkeys dominate the mountain forest. Now is different from the past. Although the Bentback Lao Liu finally failed, his idea was continued a lot. Now is not the era of cold weapons. The country's heavy weapons are no longer afraid of the flying sword of the Xuanmen. Some people just turn a blind eye to the Xuanmen. After all, the dispute between the Xuanmen is now a game between top masters. With that spiritual monkey, there is no difference between heaven and earth." Dahuang said.
Now not only Zhao Wuji feels, but even I think that the Wushan mountains are very similar to the Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave in Journey to the West, a group of monkeys with spiritual intelligence like humans, and a spiritual monkey who sounds like a top master.
"Spirit Monkey? Could it be that he is really a person like the Monkey King?" I asked.
"You may not believe it when you say it. I sent that spirit monkey to me. I thought that before I met you, Master Dog, I thought of taking it as his apprentice." Dahuang said.
My heart skipped a moment. When I first met Dahuang, it immediately made me kneel down and become a disciple. I thought it was an unreliable old dog. Later, after gradually understanding it, I realized that Dahuang was truly capable and arrogant. It was determined to be an imperial teacher, so naturally it would not accept disciples casually. So what is the identity and qualifications of this spiritual monkey that even it was moved back then?
"Have you heard of Caisheng and cut?" Dahuang asked me.
"Well, I know, I read it in a book, saying that the beggars abducted some children, cut off their hands and feet, and artificially created some disabled children to make them look very pitiful. After reading it, everyone would give them money with sympathy. This method is called picking and cutting. This method has always made people feel deeply abolished. After all dynasties, they have killed such people in the nine clans and executed them. Why, does this have anything to do with that spirit monkey?" After asking this sentence, I suddenly thought of something, which made my face change. I followed and asked Dahuang, "Is it?"
Dahuang looked back at me, with a wry smile on her face and said, "That's right, it's what you think."
——The art of picking and cutting is indeed derived from the Beggar's Sect, but in the past, there were many peddlers and pawns in the Xuanmen. Many people could not enter the big sect but knew some secret techniques of the Xuanmen. In ancient times, it was not as good as the present. As long as you know one or two of the Xuanmen, you could call yourself a master. Due to the trend of ancient times, most Confucian scholars and those who know the literal and dictated characters knew the Yin and Yang of the Xuanmen, which also led to the number of people in the Xuanmen in ancient times. The word "many" is good and bad. To put it bluntly, there are all kinds of birds in the forest. Some people in the Xuanmen have improved the art of picking and cutting of the beggar. I have seen this in Zibuyu's book.
The story is that people in the Xuanmen find children under three years old, use a secret method to seal the nine orifices, and then peel off the child's skin. The same way, peel a monkey's skin, burn the monkey hair into ashes and apply it to the skinned child's whole body, and then wrap the monkey's skin on the child's body, and paint the talismans of the Xuanmen painted the monkey's skin. One of the most surviving children is a monkey, but in fact they are human. This kind of child sells children to nobles or craftsmen who travel to the world to play monkeys. One is worth a thousand gold, because this monkey looks like a monkey and is very smart and lovely, but his life span is extremely short.
When Dahuang talked about this technique of picking and cutting, and then remembering such a spiritual monkey, I suddenly remembered this story. After I said it, Dahuang nodded and said, "That's right, I saved it from a monkey man. It was actually a young master of the Xuanmen family. Because the family's hatred sect was destroyed, my father and relatives were killed by his enemies. At that time, it was just a child over one year old. He was made into a monkey man and sold it to a monkey man on the street. Dog Master, I could see at a glance that this boy's eyes were different from that of a monkey and rescued it. Although this boy was young, he witnessed the tragic situation of the entire family being killed. He had a unique resentment on his body. After saving it, I wanted to cultivate its resentment into a full body of spiritual energy. At the beginning, I just wanted to help him.
But I accidentally discovered that this kid's amazing cultivation talent can be described as the word "Tianzong" genius. Don't be afraid. Compared to your own understanding of Lianshan Jue, three diligences in a month are naturally worse. After that, the more I looked at this kid, the more I liked it. I originally wanted to take it as a disciple, but because it only had less than ten years of life, this is a sequelae that a child who was cut by the pickled child. Even if I found a lot of magic medicine to prolong his life, it would be useless. In the end, there was no way, so I could only send it to the coffin gorge and try it with the unique spiritual energy here. I just thought it was a dead horse as a living horse. I didn't expect that the kid treated me as a relative. It thought I was going to leave it. When I put it here, it refused in every possible way. Now, thinking about its little eyes at that time, I felt uncomfortable."
"What later? It rose into the monkey king among this group of monkeys?" I asked.
"Mr. Dog, I was cruel to throw it away a hundred years ago. After that, I fell asleep for a long time. I thought it would definitely not survive. After waking up, I found out that there was no monkey master in the world. It was not until the spiritual monkey in Wushan Coffin Gorge appeared that I remembered it. Last time, Dog, I came to Wushan and went to see it, but it turned out that Dog, I was so angry that I smoked and wanted to come to the door. Think about it again, this child once regarded Dog, as the closest person in the world.
, It is true that I left it to save it, but in its opinion, it was abandoned and was also a pitiful child, so I never saw it again. Later, it had come out of the mountain once. At that time, Gai Jiuyou had not yet entered the capital. There was a child in its enemy family who was an official in the capital. In order to avenge, this child went to the capital for murder, and was stabbed by the bent back Lao Liu but escaped. If you ask Yuan Tiandao, he might still remember this person. He was a flash in the pan back then, and he was called Master Monkey." The Great Huangdao.
