The little monkey he saw earlier squeaked a few times and ran away, which made Li Jian feel a little bad. Now he heard the horn sound again, which made people confused.
"There's no war, how come someone blows the horn?" Li Jian asked in surprise.
Qian Chao and Lu Pingchuan also looked in the direction where the horn sound came from.
The melodious sound of the horn spread throughout the entire Wuling Sect. In fact, it happened almost every year on this day. This was telling the people in the sect that the monkey was coming down the mountain.
…
"The sound of the horn?" Yanxuan looked around in surprise. He couldn't see anyone blowing, but only heard the sound of the horn coming from far away.
"Here we come!" Senior Sister Min said.
"Senior Sister Min, what should I do if those monkeys come?"
"Girl, why are you asking now? If those monkeys come, just scare them away, but don't hurt them. You have to be careful when using spells, don't really hit them."
"Oh." Yanxuan responded.
…
Fairy Guhuo turned to Tang Ping and said, "Go ahead and search carefully. Don't get entangled with other monkeys. Remember what you are doing when you go out."
"Yeah," Tang Ping agreed, stood up obediently, walked two steps in an orderly manner, and started jumping up and down again when she reached the door.
Fairy Guhuo saw this and smiled, "He is still a child after all."
"Then don't you, the master, keep a close eye on me?" Tang Bonian asked.
"What's the use? I'm not that girl's spiritual root. If Ping'er is just an ordinary disciple, why would it be so troublesome? Until now, you and I can't help. Everything depends on her. Wait. Bar."
…
In Muxiu Peak, Li Jian and Lu Pingchuan had already started fighting against the monkeys who were sneaking closer.
At first, the monkeys gathered in groups of twos and threes on the other side of the river. When there were more than ten monkeys, the group of monkeys, large and small, waded through the water while staring at Li Jian and the others on the other side. In previous years, these monkeys would come to Muxiu Peak. Since there are few people in Muxiu Peak and the mountains and forests are vast, the monkeys can also find a lot of fruits to eat here, but today the strange sweet smell comes from there. On the stone table next to the three of them, especially the bamboo tube where Lu Pingchuan had eaten all the honey, the lid was still on the table. These monkeys were tickled by the sweetness of the honey, but the three people opposite were not afraid of them, which made them more confused, so they slowly moved closer.
A leading monkey, quite tall, had already stepped out of the river. Seeing that the three people were still just looking at them, it couldn't help but be even more surprised. It didn't dare to go directly to them, but paddled around the three people. He made a circle, ready to go around the table to see what attracted it so much. Behind it, monkeys of all sizes followed it around, gradually trying to surround the three of them.
The monkey got closer and closer, and the sweet smell became stronger and stronger. It finally couldn't help but jump up and grabbed the bamboo tube on the stone table. However, it just jumped up, and was picked up by a monkey on the way. The big hands grabbed the neck, and then one of the monkey's legs was also firmly grasped.
"Go back!"
Lu Pingchuan still remembered what Tang Ping said about monkeys that could be beaten but not injured, so when he saw the leader rushing towards him, he grabbed him. The monkey had just come out of the water and its legs and feet were still wet, so he thought: I didn't want to just throw the monkey back into the water.
There was a "plop" sound and water splashed everywhere.
The monkey poked its head out of the water and squeaked in anger.
The remaining monkeys squeaked and pounced on Lu Pingchuan as if they had received the order.
When Lu Pingchuan threw the monkey, Li Jian opened and closed his right hand, and the longer bamboo branch appeared in his hand. When he saw the monkeys rushing towards him, he moved, and the bamboo branch in his hand started whistling and beating. For fear of hurting these monkeys, Li Jian did not dare to pour sword energy into the spiritual bamboo in his hand. However, he was very fast and let go of the monkeys' faces. He used the heavy bamboo branches in his hand to hit the monkeys' hands and feet. , the sound of "papa" kept coming, the monkeys who were beaten either covered their hands or held their feet, and ran back squeaking, some of them even jumped onto Li Jian's bamboo hut. .
Lu Pingchuan was not slow either. Most of the monkeys rushed towards him, so he opened his two big palms like cattail leaf fans, drew his bow left and right, and grabbed them casually. As soon as he caught them, he threw them into the river, and soon "poof!" The sounds of "plop" came one after another. Although the monkeys who were thrown into the water knew how powerful it was, they were still unconvinced and screamed. Some of them were thrown from behind as soon as they screamed twice, and their companions suddenly hit them again. in water.
As soon as Li Jian and Lu Pingchuan took action, they blocked the group of monkeys, which made Qian Chao no chance to intervene. In fact, Qian Chao was very worried at this time. These monkeys were numerous, and secondly, they were very worried. There was no plan when he started to attack, and he rushed over and scratched the face with his claws. Qian Chao was still a little timid when he saw it. After all, he was not as brave as Li Jian and Lu Pingchuan.
Just then, a "stab" was heard, followed by an angry "hmm" from Lu Pingchuan.
It turned out that the first monkey thrown into the water by Lu Pingchuan was eager for revenge. While Lu Pingchuan was dealing with the other monkeys, he quietly came ashore from the river, approached quietly when Lu Pingchuan was not paying attention, and then walked away. Xing Bao grabbed Lu Pingchuan. At that time, Lu Pingchuan was holding a monkey's arm with one hand. He couldn't move to deal with it, so he quickly retreated back, avoiding the monkey's claw with his face. , but the front of the robe was scratched by the monkey, and it was scratched with a "stab" sound, revealing the armor underneath.
"Hey! You damn thing, how dare you come for revenge!"
Lu Pingchuan said and threw the monkey in his hand into the water for you, intending to catch the guy who scratched his robe.
Seeing that the sneak attack failed, the monkey turned around and ran away. It had jumped up more than ten feet high. In mid-air, it grabbed the window pane on the outer wall of Li Jian's Bamboo House. As long as it caught it, it could climb up to the roof of the bamboo house, and then He turned around and made a face to annoy the big man.
But suddenly he felt his tail tighten, and a strong force pulled him. Seeing the window pane getting further and further away from him, he suddenly fell back to the ground. Before he could turn over, he felt his tail loosen, and his neck tightened. As soon as he was tight, someone grabbed his neck and pushed him to the ground.
The monkey was anxious and frightened, scratching and scratching at the thick arm that was strangling its neck, and kept squeaking. However, the arm suddenly became as tough as old tree bark, and its claws were unable to do anything. Every cent.
"Be honest!" Lu Pingchuan shouted. He put a little force on his hands, and the monkey immediately rolled his eyes and calmed down his hands and feet.
"Grandma, you dare to tear off my robe. Don't you think throwing it into the water is not enough? You have to let me beat you to feel comfortable?"
While cursing, Lu Pingchuan used his radish-thick fingers to flick the monkey's forehead. It made a crashing sound, and the monkey squeaked in pain. While screaming, he covered his head with his two furry hands. Lu Pingchuan went to find a place where the monkey couldn't cover it, and the monkey was so busy that he scratched all over his head with his hairy hands.
Once the leader was caught, the rest of the monkeys became much less courageous, especially since the leader was still pinned to the ground and screamed and beaten. This frightened the group of monkeys to retreat one after another, not daring to come forward, and only stayed on the river bank. People nearby and on the roof of Li Jian's Bamboo House looked on in horror.
Unexpectedly, Lu Pingchuan used this method to calm the monkeys, which made Li Jian dumbfounded.
But just when Lu Pingchuan flicked the monkey's forehead, Qian Chao suddenly said: "Brother Lu, look across the way."
Lu Pingchuan and Li Jian both looked up.
I don't know when a large group of monkeys came across the river. The opposite bank stood in darkness, and there were monkeys on the trees opposite that kept jumping up and down and squeaking. Not only that, there were several monkeys almost as tall as Lu Pingchuan standing on the shore, looking at Lu Pingchuan angrily.
"Well, this is fun." Lu Pingchuan stood up, still holding the monkey with its head full in his hand.
Bursts of mountain wind blew through the bamboo forest to the other side of the river. The wind carried the sweetness of wild honey in the purple bamboo forest. Smelling this smell, Li Jian secretly complained in his heart, thinking that this large group of monkeys must be looking for this. With the mountain wind coming, it seems that we have to scramble to save our bamboo forest.
Lu Pingchuan's arms were the same, and with a "pop" sound, he threw the monkey in his hand into the water in front of the big monkeys. The river was not wide, and the water splashed onto a big monkey.
"Come on!" Lu Pingchuan shouted towards the other side of the river.
