Monkeys are scary creatures.
A large part of people's hatred of monkeys comes from the fact that they look too much like humans. Sometimes, looking at monkeys is like looking in a mirror.
Moreover, the bad qualities of humans can be found in monkeys.
Human beings have moral constraints.
Monkeys don't.
So the evil shown by the monkey is too straightforward.
The black monkey jumped in front of Su Qingyu first, but was blocked by Wu Xin with his black long sword, within the reach of the blade.
Then, with its slender limbs and a ferocious face, it crawled in front of Bai Huo.
"Kakaka... If I exchange one hundred thousand for your life span of one year, do you want to do it? Kakaka..."
"One hundred thousand dollars can buy you one year of life, which is a good deal... Ka Ka Ka..."
The black monkey's scarlet eyes stared intently at the white fire.
White Fire didn't answer, didn't meet its eyes.
Su Qingyu didn't say anything either.
They didn't need to remind each other, both saw the monkey's trap.
One hundred thousand ghost coins can be exchanged for one year of life.
On the surface it sounds like a good deal.
It is easy for people to mistakenly believe that the monkey gave them one hundred thousand net coins, and then they gave the monkey one year of Yang life.
But in fact, what the monkey meant was that if each of Su Qingyu and Bai Huo gave the monkey one hundred thousand net coins, the monkey would let them go and let them live one more year.
Once they take what the monkey says, no matter whether they agree or disagree, they will end up dead.
Whether you can come up with 100,000 hell coins, the only difference is whether you die now or in a year.
Monkeys are guaranteed to make profits without losing money.
The best way to deal with this situation is to ignore the monkey and remain silent about its problems.
The black monkey stood in the middle, pressing forward step by step.
Because there was a strange guardian behind Su Qingyu, it had been lingering at Bai Huo's feet.
Only when White Fire responds to it can it have a chance to eat White Fire.
At this moment, the monkey was a little restless. It exposed its sharp teeth and sticky saliva flowed from its open mouth, exuding a disgusting smell.
The road into the mountain was originally narrow, and the monkeys blocked the way, so Su Qingyu and Bai Huo couldn't get through.
The trees in the mountains blocked out the sky and the sun, and it was impossible to tell the difference between day and night.
They stood in a stalemate with the monkey.
Su Qingyu took out the bone knife Wu Xin gave her, took out the apples she had washed in advance from her black backpack, and began to peel them.
They are very patient.
The stalemate lasted about twenty minutes.
Until the moonlight shone in from the gaps in the leaves above the head, and one of the rays of moonlight shone on the monkey. The monkey made a sharp cry, which seemed to be in pain. It opened its teeth and claws at Su Qingyu and Bai Huo with hatred in its eyes, and then quickly got inside. Go into the bushes and leave.
"It's strange that the sun's rays can't shine into this Monkey God Mountain, but the moonlight at night can pass through the gaps in the leaves." Bai Huo squinted his eyes slightly and looked up along the place where the moonlight shone. "It's pitch black above, I see. There is no place where the moonlight comes in.”
From this angle, you can't see the night sky, you can only see the bunches of moonlight, like flying ribbons, hanging down one after another.
When the monkey disappeared, the moonlight also disappeared.
"Did you notice? The ray of moonlight just now shone on the black monkey, but there was more than one ray of moonlight shining in. When the monkey disappeared, the ray of moonlight disappeared. So, does the place where the moonlight did not disappear mean? Are there other monkeys?"
Bai Huo nodded: "It's very possible."
"This strange phenomenon may have something to do with the rules. Let's continue on our way." Su Qingyu turned on the flashlight on her mobile phone to illuminate the road ahead.
The outline of the woods is blurred and swallowed by darkness. The sound of flapping wings of birds can be heard occasionally, mixed with the sound of wind and the screams of monkeys.
Su Qingyu didn't know Qinggong, and it wasn't safe for the two of them to be separated, so Bai Huo simply walked like an ordinary person. He picked up a branch from the grass, folded it into almost the same length, and handed it to Su Qingyu, asking her to use it as a hiking pole. .
Trekking poles can effectively save energy.
"Thank you." Su Qingyu politely thanked her. She usually insisted on exercising, so climbing this mountain was not a problem for her.
The road up the mountain is long and boring, and chatting can dispel the feeling of sleepiness.
Su Qingyu asked: "Bai Huo, have you ever thought about going to find your parents?"
"No."
Su Qingyu thought of her parents. Before time travel, her impression of her parents was very faint, as if she only knew of their parents' existence, but didn't know who they were.
Moreover, due to the change in cognition, whenever she thinks about this matter, her brain will pause for a moment, and then she will turn her attention to other places.
As for the parents in this world, she only knows that they died in a car accident.
For her, the parents in the two worlds even feel like they overlap.
On this topic, Su Qingyu quite admired Bai Huo. He accepted the status quo of being abandoned without showing any sadness.
Bai Huo's tone was indifferent: "I believe they have their own reasons for doing this. If they have no choice but to be abandoned, it doesn't mean that I am not loved by them. If they do it on purpose, then it is also a good idea to separate without disturbing each other. A good choice.”
Su Qingyu asked again: "If they were still alive, would you look for this reason?"
Bai Huo hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "No."
"Then let's do the opposite." Su Qingyu wanted to pursue the vague figure in her memory and seek all the answers.
If "it" blurred his initial understanding, then Su Qingyu must completely correct this understanding.
"Huh?" Bai Huo lowered his eyes and made a confused sound.
Su Qingyu said slowly: "Will you go to Daystar Group? I will go too, maybe we can see each other in that dungeon.
It's just that our two purposes are different.
If you go, the purpose is to solve the pollution problem for all mankind. And I... what I am pursuing is my missing memory, my vague cognition, my family and my friends. "
Bai Huo was doing it for the world, but Su Qingyu didn't even solve her own problems. She was doing it for herself.
Bai Huo said: "Girls don't have to be modest. A gentleman doesn't care about his deeds, and no one is perfect at heart. No matter what the girl's original intention is, she has been solving the problem of pollution sources in the dungeon and providing dungeon strategies for our organization in red. What the girl said There is no difference between what I do and what I do.”
Su Qingyu just smiled.
Geographically, Monkey God Mountain is not far from Daystar Group.
However, there are dense dungeons outside the Venus Group and there are no safe roads. Therefore, if you want to enter the Venus Group, you need to cross other dungeons.
The two talked all the way to the Taoist temple where Master Baihuo lived.
Bai Huo said: "Master's Dharma name is sent to Xu Sanren. Before he picked me up, Master has been traveling around, treating diseases and saving people."
He mentioned his master with a tone full of respect and gratitude.
