Chapter 897 Water Monkey
Li Chengqi's understanding of Chinese mythology is limited to Journey to the West and The Romance of the Gods. Not only does he not understand the others, it can also be said that he has barely read them.
Not all myths and stories are true, many are exaggerations of the original events.
For example, the legend about Hou Yi shooting the sun may be that there was once a person named Descendants who was very good at archery. Later, it was passed down and became known as being able to shoot down the sun.
Yes, legends are gradually becoming more and more outrageous, regardless of whether they are Chinese or foreign.
But the premise of the legend is that you must have an original form, not something that comes out of thin air.
Sun Dasheng’s reputation is known to everyone, but in fact, the image of Sun Monkey was copied. Looking back in history, you will find that before the Yuan Dynasty, there was no monkey at all in Tripitaka’s Journey to the West, and it only appeared in the dramas of the Yuan Dynasty. , and at that time Sun Wukong had a sworn sister named Wuzhiqi.
When Journey to the West was written in the Ming Dynasty, Wuzhi Qi was simply replaced by Sun Wukong. The result was that Li Gui was known to the world, but no one understood Li Kui.
Legend has it that Wuzhi Qi was born in Shuilian Cave in Tongbai Mountain. He was born with a divine monkey and called himself the Water Monkey Great Sage. He married the daughter of the Dragon King, built a Dragon Palace, and had three children.
Later, Dayu controlled the floods, but Wu Zhiqi stirred up trouble. Dayu only subdued the monkey with the help of Yinglong and locked it under the army mountain.
This story comes from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and many of the details in it can no longer be said to be borrowed from Journey to the West, but almost copied.
Now, the real Li Kui has come out and is hammering the Lei family's barrier.
As I said before, it would be absolutely impossible if the monsters had no backup. At least there must be someone to back them up, otherwise a bunch of little monsters wouldn't dare to make such a big fuss even if they had 800 courages.
But then again, is it really just a monkey that supports the monsters?
Li Chengqi felt that something was wrong, Wu Zhiqi couldn't hold it up, and it would probably be about the same if it were the Monkey King. Judging from Lei Lei's experience of being attacked, there might be a master behind it.
So Li Chengqi didn't rush to take action and just watched the show in peace.
But the people of the Lei family didn't dare to just watch.
The Lei family's formation can defend against 'spirits, monsters, monsters, and ghosts' and has no effect on humans, so Li Chengqi and the others can get in directly.
But no matter how good the formation is, it still has its defense limit. The monkey ping-ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong making the formation flicker, so it doesn't look like it is very reliable.
The monkey must be kept away.
"Capturing the Dragon Palm!"
There was another roar, and Wuzhiqi, who was smashing the barrier, suddenly floated up, as if being sucked away by something.
At the same time, someone from the Lei family ran towards the outside of the barrier, that is, the second young master who tore off his shirt.
"You are such a reckless man that you are finally willing to give up. This saves me the great sage from having to put in any more effort."
"Monkey, stop talking! Look at your palms!"
The second young master of the Lei family got out of the barrier, raised his hand and stamped it with his palm.
The monkey was sucked by the Dragon Capturing Palm and could not dodge, so it directly crossed the barrel of the gun and caught it hard.
There were three snapping sounds, and the second young master of the Lei family launched a fierce attack with both palms, but each time he was gently caught by the monkey.
"Try harder, it's not enough."
It even made fun of it.
At the same time, many monsters appeared in the bamboo forest. They were nothing more than wood monsters, water spirits, mountain monsters, and stone monsters. They were all little monsters following Wuzhiqi. Seeing the second young master of the Lei family coming out, they all popped up, seemingly It is necessary to plunder the formation from the side and give Qi a helping hand.
When the Lei family saw that you didn't follow martial ethics, they all shouted, "Second Young Master, I'm here to help you" and so on, and they all ran out. If you want to rely on the barrier alone to hold on, you will definitely not be able to hold on. It is better to go out and fight to the death.
Li Chengqi was with the people from Jiuke and ran a few steps forward, but they did not leave the barrier and stood near the edge to watch the battle.
Zhang Lei, Wu Yue, and their colleagues from the Ninth Section who came with them, that guy, the camera was almost sparking when he opened the door. This kind of scene of a large gathering of monsters is rare, so it is best to leave the image data for later study.
Maybe it's an occupational disease. Even now, they still want to take pictures.
The people of the Lei family fought with the little monster behind Wuzhiqi, and the number of monsters was far more than that of the Lei family. Countless monsters emerged from the woods. It was like the animal world. What kind of monsters were there? There are monsters there, it’s so lively.
Li Chengqi was not in a hurry to take action. After all, if he went out, if the barrier was breached, Gan Xiaoyan would have no one to protect him. Besides, Wuzhi Qi was definitely not the only one who supported the monsters. Li Chengqi also wanted to see who gave these monsters the confidence.
Although there are many monsters, due to lack of mana, these little monsters can only be larger animals, such as lions, tigers, buffaloes and wild boars, which seem to be more lethal. The people were beaten out.
The quantity is large but the quality is not good, it’s just for fun.
Deep in the bamboo forest, a group of bird demons rose into the sky again, probably planning to take advantage of the Lei family being entangled to get as close as possible to Lingbao Heavenly Palace.
Now the second young master of the Lei family is going back and forth with Wuzhiqi, and he really has no time to care about those birds.
But having said that, there is not only one second young master in the Lei family who can fight, and the other people who can fight are not haunted by big monsters like Wuzhiqi.
If nothing else, Lei Lei should be able to deal with the approaching harpies on her own.
Li Chengqi was waiting for Lei Lei in the crowd to make any new moves. Suddenly, the sky turned dark, from the darkness of dark clouds to the darkness of night.
The originally hazy sun on the horizon is now slowly shrinking, and finally there is only a dim circle of light left, completely disappearing into the sky.
This scene shocked everyone. It was obviously the time when the sun was rising, but it was like falling into the night. Even the Milky Way could be seen in the sky with bright stars.
Gan Xiaoyan next to Li Chengqi pointed in the direction of the original sun and exclaimed:
"It's Tengu!"
This Tengu refers to the Tengu who eats the sun.
By the way, isn’t the Tengu eclipse a total solar eclipse?
Is this also a monster?
Li Chengqi looked in the direction pointed by Gan Xiaoyan and saw nothing, only a few dog monsters.
Tengu eclipsing the sun is just a normal celestial phenomenon, but the ancients who did not understand the reason demonized it.
"Mortal fears can also turn into monsters, and they are definitely big monsters."
Gan Xiaoyan explained, and Li Chengqi was a little confused. What fear can turn into a demon?
One person's fantasy is just a fantasy, but the fantasies of countless people may eventually become true.
What people fear and resent may turn into monsters when these resentments gather together.
That's probably what it means, although Li Chengqi still thinks it's a bit outrageous.
After all, he grew up with an education in materialistic values and did not believe in such metaphysical things. This is why Li Chengqi has been able to use divine power for a long time, but has always been unable to use it.
Divine power is too idealistic.
But what’s really bad is that it’s not just Tengu. It’s enough to go straight from early morning to late night, and the stars all over the sky suddenly seem to have lost their presence. For a moment, no matter whether they are humans or monsters, there is only one star in front of them. It's pitch black, nothing can be seen...
