Chapter 175 The white ape offers fruit, and the immortal guides the way
The white ape is waiting under that tree.
Xiao Jie followed up and said, "Senior, please speak."
But the white ape said: "What are you talking about? Where are you now? Keep climbing." As he said that, he jumped up the mountain again.
Xiao Jie looked up and saw that the mountain peak must be more than a thousand meters high. It was covered with clouds and mist, making it impossible to see the top.
Do we have to climb all the way to the top of the mountain?
He finally understood why White Ape said that only he could do this, and most people couldn't just climb mountains.
Xiao Jie had no choice but to eat a piece of barbecue and continue climbing.
Fortunately, this mountain peak is not a straight one. Although it is tall and steep, you can still see raised rocks or concave mountain walls from time to time, and you can sit on them to rest and restore your strength.
Just climbing up step by step, for more than an hour, Xiao Jie finally reached the top of the mountain.
Looking down the mountain, the huge height makes people dizzy.
Surrounded by clouds and mist, there was a narrow ridge in front of him, but the front of the ridge was obscured by clouds and mist. He didn't know where it led. The white ape was waiting for him not far away. Xiao Jie quickly followed it and stopped in front of the white mist. Come down.
The white ape looked at the white mist in front of him, but seemed to be thinking about something.
"Senior, what exactly do you need from this junior?" Xiao Jie asked impatiently.
The white ape said faintly: "You just told me a story, now let me tell you a story too. This story is also about a monkey, but it is not a natural stone monkey. Just an ordinary little monkey, his name is Maomao."
Xiao Jie was shocked. The white ape was indeed related to Maomao.
The white ape's eyes became distant, and his voice gradually became erratic, as if he had returned to the old days.
"Maomao, watch carefully——!"
Cut it in two! Brushing, three dead branches side by side were chopped down in one stroke.
"Come here." The woodcutter said and handed over the hatchet in his hand.
Maomao scratched his head, looked at the hatchet in his hand, then looked at the expectant owner not far away, and raised the hatchet towards the branch.
The knife went down, click, and cut off a branch.
The woodcutter nodded with satisfaction, "Haha, good job. Here, I'll give you a steamed bun to eat." Maomao happily took the steamed bun and started to eat it.
Just as he finished eating the steamed buns, the woodcutter gave him the hatchet again, "Continue, don't stop, just like you did just now, you have to chop ten bundles of firewood today. When you learn how to do it, I won't have to in the future." It’s so tiring.”
The master's voice made Maomao feel a little dizzy, and she had no idea what he was talking about.
I can only chop wood one knife at a time.
However, it was not as strong as a human being. It accidentally struck the knot with a click, and instead of cutting down the branch, the hatchet broke a hole.
"Stupid, stupid, stupid, you don't know how to do this. Look, the hatchet is broken again! What a waste! What a waste! You can't teach it no matter what!" The woodcutter waved a branch and slapped his head and face, making Maomao scream in fright. He screamed, but he couldn't figure out why his master was so angry and so scary.
The woodcutter looked at Mao Mao's frightened look and sighed, "It costs fifty cents to repair this hatchet, which is enough to buy ten steamed buns. If you keep doing this, how will you live in the future?"
"You chop slowly first, and I'll check if there are any mushrooms. I'll make mushroom soup for you tonight."
After speaking, in order to prevent Maomao from escaping, the woodcutter simply tied the rope around Maomao's neck to the big tree.
Watching the woodcutter leave, Maomao immediately took action. After being beaten all day long, he was already angry and dissatisfied. Watching his master leave, he cut the rope around his neck with a knife, turned around and fled towards the forest ahead.
It and its owner often pass by that mountain forest, and they have already noticed that there seem to be many monkeys living in that mountain forest. Every time they see those monkeys living freely in the valley, it is envious. If only it could live freely in that mountain forest. Isn't it good to be free?
So he dived into the valley without hesitation...
After hearing this, Xiao Jie finally determined the truth of the matter, "So Senior Yuan is Maomao? But why is Senior Yuan so old..."
"I want to know - hey, if you want to know what happened next, let's listen to the explanation next time."
"Ah!" Xiao Jie was speechless.
Bai Yuan burst out laughing, seemingly very satisfied with Xiao Jie's reaction, "I was just kidding you, this story isn't that long, just keep listening..."
[Mao Mao looked at the great ape sitting on the stone platform tremblingly. His burly muscles looked extremely scary.
Several monkeys behind him pushed him towards the great ape.
"Your Majesty, a monkey ran in from outside the valley."
The big ape picked up Feomao and looked at it, but his eyes fell on the hatchet in his hand.
He grabbed it without saying a word. "That's mine."
Maomao rushed forward to take it back, but was kicked away by the big ape.
The big ape snorted coldly: "What's yours and mine? I am the king of this Monkey Valley. Everything in this valley belongs to me. If you dare to scream again, I will send you to the canyon to feed you." That tree demon."
Maomao still wanted to fight, but an old monkey next to him dragged him away.
When they reached a secluded place where there were no monkeys, the old monkey let go of his hand and comforted him: "Little monkey, don't make the king angry. With your small body, the king can kill you with one fist."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu I was bullied by my master before, and now I am bullied by other monkeys. Why should it bully me?"
"This is the life of a monkey. Being a monkey is hard. There is nothing in this world that is not bitter. Come on, try this. It won't be bitter after you drink it." He said and handed over a gourd.
Maomao took a sip of the liquid in the gourd and immediately grinned and jumped.
"Hahaha, how about it? Does it taste good? This is the monkey wine I brewed myself."]
It turns out that the old monkey, the giant ape and the white ape still have such a past. Xiao Jie couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, but now things have changed.
"What's next?"
White Ape sneered and said: "How can I be willing to do so? I asked the old monkey how to control my own destiny. The old monkey told me that I must be powerful enough." White Ape said, but his eyes were looking at Facing the fog ahead, my thoughts returned to the past again...
[The old monkey said quietly: "Only with strong power can you control your own destiny. Have you seen the highest mountain? It is said that there are gods living somewhere. If you can find the gods, you will definitely be able to change yourself." The way of destiny.”
"Then why don't you go find it?"
"Oh, I've tried it too, but unfortunately the cliff is too high and steep. No monkey can climb it. My leg was lame when I fell while climbing the mountain. Now I can't even climb trees."
Maomao looked at the towering mountain with extremely firm eyes, "I will definitely be able to climb up."
The next morning, Maomao got up early and picked up the gourd of monkey wine from the old monkey's arms.
He picked some more fruits from the tree, tied a cane to his body, and climbed up the mountain. He fell down several times at the beginning, but Maomao came up with an idea. He used the cane to tie him up. The rope holding it was made into a noose. When it encountered a protruding rock, the noose was dug up and hooked, so that it would not be easy to lose its footing. After climbing like this all day, at night, I finally climbed to the top. On top of the mountain.
Then it came to a fog...]
"What's next?" Xiao Jie asked curiously.
Bai Yuan chuckled, "You have to see what happens next with your own eyes."
As he spoke, his expression suddenly became extremely serious: "Listen boy, this matter is very dangerous. If you don't get it right, you will lose your life. You must remember my words."
Xiao Jie said quickly: "Senior, just ask."
"You keep walking towards the fog in front of you. Remember not to stay in the fog for a long time, let alone pay attention to the things you encounter in the fog, just rush forward.
After passing through the sea of fog, you will come to a mountain peak. There is a pavilion on the mountain peak, and two people are sitting inside playing chess.
One of the two men was wearing a white robe and the other was wearing a black robe.
Don't talk to those two people, just wait on the side. There is a low table next to the two people, with some food and drinks on it. You put the prepared fruit drinks on it. If the immortal wants to drink, you serve the wine. When they want to eat the fruit, you pass it to them. When they finish playing chess, you kneel down and ask for help.
Those two people have eaten your fruit and drank your wine, so they will naturally accept your favor, bear your karma, and agree to do you a favor.
Then you can ask me a question.
The problem is-
Why am I so powerful and the monkey king of this valley, yet I still live so unhappy? I think those monkeys are stupid, but I also think humans are too cunning and unreasonable. How can I live happily?
If they ask who asked, just say it was the white ape from the past, and then the two of them will understand.
You bring back to me the answers those two people told you, and then I will naturally teach you my set of disillusionment magic swords. "
Bai Yuan's words were just right, and a system prompt appeared in front of Xiao Jie's eyes.
System prompt: Trigger the adventure event [white ape offers fruit, immortal guides the way].
