[Tip: The ape colony 'Huaguo Mountain' is being destroyed by hunters from the Aolai Nation. 】
"Commander! It's a disaster!"
"Speak more slowly, how can we cause trouble again?"
"A group of hunters came to the country from Da Ao, and they were catching little monkeys along the way. Marshals Ma and Liu led their troops to rescue them, but they missed and were captured instead!"
I was originally tracking the route of the monkeys who sailed across the ocean. After all, they were an important helper for me in "opening the map". If they deviated too far from the route, I would evolve stargazing and direction finding.
When I received my sister's warning and turned my attention back to Huaguo Mountain, I happened to see a group of humans going up the mountain to hunt with great fanfare, and there were monkeys at the dock reporting to Yuan Hong who had just landed.
In my territory, of course you have to listen to me.
Zooming in on the hunters, I found that there were about two to three hundred in total. Each one was dressed as a hunter in leather clothing, each carrying a bow and arrow, a net, and a rope buckle. In addition, they also brought fifty or sixty hounds and close range dogs. One hundred pack horses, two big horse monkey marshals and twenty or thirty small monkeys were tightly tied to the carrying poles and carried away by the horses.
Since these hunters kept shouting loudly and couldn't hear clearly what they were saying, I changed the frequency to only pick up the voices of the leading few, and then I got a rough idea.
It seems that the hunters who regularly came to Huaguo Mountain to hunt were teased by the much smarter monkeys. After returning in embarrassment, they aroused the interest of the Aolai Kingdom, and asked the hunters to catch some "talking monkeys" for fun. The hunters who received the order thought that the lack of people coming was the result of being teased, so they gathered all the nearby hunters and went up the mountain at the same time.
As a result, he made great gains soon after entering the mountain. He caught more than ten small monkeys in one fell swoop and defeated the patrol team led by Marshal Ma Liu who came after hearing the news. They were supposed to go down the mountain and return to work, but because the task was completed too easily, , many hunters who had found nothing asked to go deeper, at least to ensure that each of them had one.
Hmm...how to put it? no Zuo no Die? Fortunately, they were only trying to catch them alive. The little monkey and Marshal Ma Liu only suffered some flesh wounds. If these hunters accidentally killed a few of them, there was no telling what Yuan Hong, who was heading this way, would do. They were from the same family. There's no need to hurry when it's raw and fried.
"What a bold hunter!" Just as he was thinking about it, Yuan Hong flew in from the sky and shouted: "Leave my men behind and get out of Huaguo Mountain!"
The seat of Shente Meow...
Since Yuan Hong had the monkey army far behind him, and he was alone and had no aura, the hunters were surprised and did not run away. Instead, they each picked up their weapons and prepared to surround him.
But at this moment, the hounds suddenly started biting the nearest thing like crazy. Whether it was the hunters or the horses, the horses ran around after being frightened. The hunters' formation was rushed to pieces, and then they were followed. The monkey army came one after another behind Yuan Hong and captured them all.
Strange, do I have any special ability to deter wild beasts?
"Commander, what are we going to do with these people?" After Marshals Ma and Liu were rescued, they had no time to respond to General Beng's taunts and went directly to Yuan Hong: "No matter what, they can't be killed."
Well, of course, even if it is a nationally protected animal, it will be shot if it injures a human life, not to mention these little monkeys that have become sperms - by the way, is there any record of a panda killing a person?
"Let's lock them up first. Although they are the first batch, they are definitely not the last batch. After they are all arrested, they will go to the leader of the Aolai Kingdom to ask for ransom." Yuan Hong said.
The monkeys agreed in confusion, and tied them up with the ropes carried by the hunters themselves and took them away.
——Year 2——
But he said that the two Taoist boys Jin Ling Yin Ling, although their cultivation level was not low, their IQs were not high. Before Ao Lie and the others asked them in detail, they explained their origins in a few words.
It turned out that they were alchemy boys under Taishang Laojun's seat in Tushita Palace in heaven. They were named after looking at the golden furnace and silver furnace respectively. Because Taishang Laojun and Zhen Yuanzi were familiar with each other, they often exchanged letters or elixirs. This boy has served as a messenger many times and is quite familiar with the surrounding environment. He even recognized a godmother in the Yalong Cave in Yalong Mountain not far away. On the occasion of a banquet held by Zhen Yuanzi this time, he was ordered by Laojun He gave Zhen Yuanzi five pieces of "beyond the five elements" treasures to test his reaction to the ginseng fruit, so he wanted to share half with the godmother so that she could also participate.
"What is ginseng fruit? Is it delicious?" Ao Lie was just thinking about what dragon was pressed in the Dragon Cave when he heard Ao Yu ask the two children.
"Ginseng fruit, also known as grass returning pill, is the fruit of the spiritual root that was born when the world was first divided into chaos. It blooms once every three thousand years, bears fruit once every three thousand years, matures once every three thousand years, and can only be eaten after ten thousand years." Jin Ling said.
"It looks like a child under the age of three dynasties, with all four limbs and five senses. If you have the chance to smell it, your life will be extended by 360 years. If you can eat one, your life will be extended by another 47,000 years." Yin Ling said. .
"So, is it delicious?" Ao Yu asked.
Jin Ling said with a dark face: "How do we know? Thirty fruits have been produced in the past ten thousand years, but it still takes another thousand years to mature. Immortal Zhenyuan does not allow others to approach the ginseng orchard. Not to mention the taste, even the smell is not good. Never smelled it.”
Yin Ling suddenly said: "Hey, I remember this banquet is not in the name of 'opening the garden'? Could it be that the garden is opening to release the fruits? I can get one and a half to taste even if I don't know."
Jin Ling said: "If this is the case, you should quickly go and fetch your godmother."
Yin Ling said: "That's right, that's right!"
While talking among themselves, the two children reached a consensus and ran away quickly carrying the plaited gold silk sedan chair.
"Brother..." Ao Yu turned around and looked at Ao Lie eagerly.
Ao Lie frowned and said: "If they are mortal fruits and vegetables, I can certainly spend money to buy them. Even the fairy fruit flat peach, I can even give up the face of the Dragon King of the West Sea. But if it is the ginseng fruit born from the spiritual roots of heaven and earth, then wait The means are useless."
Bai Jingjing said from the side: "It's really incompetent."
Ao Lie glared at her: "If you can find this ginseng fruit for Yu'er, I will recognize you as my elder."
"I am the elder," the White Bone Princess pointed back before the Dragon Palace Prince got angry: "Although I can't find the ginseng fruit, there is someone here who can."
"Amitabha." The accused Jin Chanzi clasped his hands and said, "Donor Ao really wants this ginseng fruit?"
"This..." Ao Lie noticed that this incident seemed to make Jin Chanzi a little embarrassed, so he turned to look at Ao Yu.
"Brother, I don't want it anymore," Ao Yu looked at Jin Chanzi and said, "After all, if you swallow it all at once, you won't know the taste."
"Of course." Ao Lie made up his mind and looked at Jin Chanzi: "Of course I want it."
"If you want it, just say it. If you don't say it, how will the poor monk know that the donor wants it?" Jin Chanzi smiled slightly: "The poor monk suddenly plans to visit an old friend. Please stay with me for a while."

But it is said that the Wuzhuang Temple of Wanshou Mountain was built on the south slope of the Fairy Mountain, shrouded in colorful clouds and covered with fairy mist. When viewed from a distance, the pavilions and pavilions are scattered in an orderly manner. When viewed up close, the golden plumes and purple palaces are very majestic, surrounded by pines and bamboos, and spiritual birds and beasts appear in it. There is a huge monument on the side of the mountain gate, which is engraved with "The Blessed Land of Wanshou Mountain, Wuzhuang Viewing the Cave and Heaven", and there is a couplet on the gate: "The Immortal Palace of Immortality, the Taoist Family with the Same Longevity as Heaven." Guests came and went in front of the door.
When Jin Chanzi and his party arrived, several immortals came out to greet the guests, calling Jin Chanzi "an old friend of my family's teacher" and leading them to the depths of the temple.
Ao Lie wondered: "I think you are all immortals, but why are all the guests and entertainers outside mortals?"
The fairy who welcomed the guests said: "Today is the 'opening banquet' of the ginseng orchard. The spiritual energy that the fruit trees have breathed for nine thousand years will be released. Those ordinary people are usually respectful, and allowing them to breathe the spiritual energy is considered a blessing." "
Ao Lie asked again: "Now that the garden is open, are the fruits in the garden ripe?"
"Since they are ripe, two fruits will be laid down for the guests to taste when the garden opens. But if no guest is qualified, we and other students will share them." The immortal led Jin Chanzi and his party to a splendid banquet hall. After saluting, he resigned.
Ao Lie looked around the hall and saw that there were fifty or sixty immortals present, and felt a little depressed for a moment.
"Don't be frightened. There are forty-six of the sixty immortals in this group. They are all students of Zhen Yuanzi." Jin Chanzi said: "As for the rest of the guests, they are all extraordinary. Since he is a sub-sage, talk about it." The cultivation level of those who come and go with smiles will not be too low, and they will not ask for ginseng fruit if they maintain their identity, but this poor monk has no such worries."
I have never seen such an arrogant mortal before!
Ao Lie was cursing and leading Ao Yu to find a place to sit down, but suddenly Wenxiang Runyu rushed into his arms. Even with his Taiyi Sanxian cultivation, he couldn't avoid it, and he was thrown to the ground without paying attention. , just as he was about to struggle to get up, he was froze in place by a sweet cry coming from his ear.
"[Mr. Prime Minister~]"
The person who threw him down was a beautiful woman, lazy and undressed, with a graceful appearance. Her hair was loose and she had no necklace or palace dress. She wore a plain blue robe, a close-fitting ink jacket, a silver ribbon around her waist, gold threads around her feet, and a shawl. White embroidered belt, snow arm set and double bracelets.
A pair of golden eyes were both happy and angry, charming and charming. Even Bai Jingjing on the side felt her heart skip a beat when she heard this. She reacted the next moment and pulled the woman away: "Who is your husband-in-law! What are you yelling at!"
"This, this female benefactor..." Ao Lie was so frightened that he couldn't speak incoherently, and he used all Jin Chanzi's usual names.
The woman said: "The donor is a stranger. The little girl's surname is 'Niang', and her single name is 'Zi'. You can call me this way~"
"Niangzi——" Ao Lie subconsciously wanted to shout, but was blocked by Bai Jingjing's hand.
"Who are you?" Princess Bones stared at her and asked.
"It was obviously you who came up with the idea to send the two children to pick me up, why did you forget?" The woman took two steps back, revealing the dumbfounded Jin Ling and Yin Ling who were carrying the gold silk sedan.
"This...could he be called godfather from now on?" the two children said in a daze.
"No!" Ao Yu stood in front of Ao Lie.
"Amitabha." Jin Chanzi said, "Almsgiver Ao belongs to a poor monk."
At this time, the Third Prince of Xihai's mind was in chaos and he had no idea what to say.
"Giggle~" The woman chuckled twice, suddenly stopped showing her deep love for Ao Lie, raised her hand and waved: "My surname is 'Su', and my last name is 'Mei', which is the same as your third prince. It doesn’t have anything to do with it—for now~”
When she turned around to find a seat at the banquet, a pair of furry fox ears popped out from her head, and nine golden tails jumped out from behind her.
