Since the window opening was very small, Jiang Shuo could only see white shadows flickering, but could not see clearly what they were. He only vaguely felt that they did not look like humans. Then he heard a whining cry - it was the cry of an ape. Voice.
Jiang Shuo wondered: "There is no grass growing on the Carboniferous Mountains. How can there be apes and monkeys moving around?" At this time, a strange and old voice said: "There are many apes in Qishan Mountain, named the golden-threaded tamarin. The golden-threaded tamarin has a golden body, a raised nose and an oxtail. , its fur can be used as a saddle mattress, but the golden-threaded tamarin will not go near the Carboniferous Mountains." Jiang Shuo did not expect that in addition to himself and Jianghu brothers, other people would be locked up here, and asked: "I wonder what you call it, senior? I just saw it. It looks like a white shadow, not golden." The man said: "A certain Huihe man Fu Dinan, I just said that the local golden-threaded tamarin would not go near the Carboniferous Mountains, but I don't know when a white ape came and became a local The leader of the monkey group, from then on the white ape often brought the monkey group to pick up pebbles." After hearing this, Jiang Shuo was very curious. Firstly, how could a Uighur be imprisoned here? Secondly, what were the monkeys doing here to pick up pebbles?
People can burn coal for cooking and heating, but can apes do the same? Nan Jiyun also said: "Young Master, this white ape is very human. I occasionally caught a glimpse of it in the window. It was indeed picking up coal, but I don't know what it was used for. What's even more surprising is that this white ape has a belt around his waist. There is a dagger hanging on a straw rope." Then Emperor Fu from Huihe said: "In the article "The Spring and Autumn Annals of Wuyue" written by Zhao Ye, a Han Chinese, there is a story about the sword passed down by a white ape. Is it true that there is a sword in the world? A white ape with swordsmanship?" Xiao Dayou said: "Oh, if it is really a white ape from the Wu and Yue era, it has been around for thousands of years. Is this white ape a weirdo? Then it is not surprising that it can pick up pebbles to make fire. "In the Tang Dynasty, monsters were prevalent, and people at that time believed in ghosts and ghosts, but Jiang Shuo felt something in his heart - didn't he recognize a white ape wearing a dagger?
Thinking of this, he stopped talking to others and whimpered outside the window. The cries echoed in the pit, but there was no response. Emperor Fu asked, "Hey, why is there an ape locked up in the stone prison?" Jiang Shuo said, "I called the white ape in monkey language." Emperor Fu was embarrassed, haha. He laughed and said: "What? Monkey language? Young Master Jiang, are you going to ask the White Ape to rescue you? It's just your first day in prison, are you crazy? I have been locked up for several years, but you are not here." It's so whimsical." Emperor Fu was joking, but Jiang Shuo replied: "If it's really Brother Bai Yuan that I recognize, it's not impossible to save us." Emperor Fu laughed loudly, and in the mine Oscillating back and forth.
Everyone in the Jianghu Alliance and the Caobang knew that Jiang Shuo did strange things, but it was really unbelievable that he could ask the White Ape to save people.
However, after a long time, no echo was heard. Jiang Shuo cried a few more times, but this time he used his inner strength to spread the sound of hoofbeats far away.
Everyone was hesitant, but Xiao Dayou was the most honest and believed in Jiang Shuo, saying: "Young Master, please speak softer, it will be very bad if that old thing hears you." Emperor Fu laughed even more when he heard it. Said: "Xiao Lang, since you were locked up, my life has been much more interesting... Not to mention that the old guy went down the mountain after delivering meals every day. Quan Xingjian's house is no less than ten miles away from here. You Even if you beat gongs and drums, no one can hear you. Even if they hear it, no one can understand this monkey language. Hahaha, no one can understand this monkey language." At this moment, he suddenly heard a few words The cry of the ape came, and the cry came very quickly from far away to near. Although everyone did not understand the monkey language, they could still hear the joy in the sound of the hoofbeats.
After a while, the sound of hoofbeats reached the pit. Jiang Shuo saw the white shadow swaying back and forth, and he whistled a few short times. This was the cry of the apes indicating the direction to each other. Sure enough, the white ape immediately accurately located the window where Jiang Shuo was. Position, a monkey face was completely stuffed into the window. This blocked the only hole through which the skylight entered, and the stone room suddenly became dark. Although the white ape was smaller than a human, it could not get through this small window. He His head blocked the window opening, his mouth stretched out and he whined.
Jiang Shuo said: "Brother Bai, you have blocked the light. Move away quickly." The white ape actually moved his head back. With the light leaking in these days, Jiang Shuo and the white ape could see each other through the window. The other party, there are many apes in the world who can understand monkey language, but the only one who can understand human speech is the white ape Jiang Shuo met in the Jijin Cave in Maoshan Mountain.
"Brother Bai". One person and one ape have been separated for a long time, and now they meet again. Through this small window hole, they are whining and chirping in joy.
Everyone who was imprisoned in the other stone chambers felt that it was strange to hear this. Emperor Fu said, "Hey, Master Jiang, do you really know monkey language?" Jiang Shuo said: "Monkey language is the same as human language, and it also has dialects. Qishan I may not be able to understand what the monkeys say, and I can only understand 10 to 20% of ordinary monkey language, but this Brother Bai is an old acquaintance of mine, and I can understand nine out of ten of his words." Xiao Dayou said: "Young Master, you actually have acquaintance with Monkey in Qishan?" His eyes widened at this moment, almost bursting out of his eyes. Unfortunately, his exaggerated expression could be seen by everyone at this moment.
Jiang Shuo said: "Brother Bai just told me that he also traveled here, but we met in Maoshan, Jurong three years ago." Emperor Fu said: "This is such a coincidence. It doesn't matter if you meet an old friend thousands of miles away. Encountering an old monkey, haha, hahaha..." He laughed so hard that tears flowed out, but no one could see it.
Jiang Shuo's Jianghu brothers knew that this young master had many adventures, and no matter what happened, they felt that it was not impossible. Nan Jiyun asked: "Young master, ask Brother Bai if there is a way to send us the message." , find someone to rescue us?" Jiang Shuo asked Bai Yuan: "Brother Bai, where is Master Zhao? You are traveling together, can he be around?" Zhao Rui, the son of Dongyan, is one of the three sons of the Central Plains. If he can help, No worries about not being able to escape. Jiang Shuo has spent a lot of time with the white ape. He can understand the monkey language of the white ape, and the white ape can also roughly understand human speech. I am afraid he is the only ape in the world who can understand human speech. No more semicolons.
Unexpectedly, Bai Yuan looked sad when he heard this and started to cry. After listening to it for a long time, Jiang Shuo realized that Zhao Rui and Bai Yuan had traveled all the way from Jiangnan to Donglu, and also visited Mang Mountain, Henan, Yique, Hedong Taihang, Wangwu, until last year when they arrived in the Zhongnan Mountains, Zhao Rui suddenly fell ill.
White Ape and Zhao Rui had always stayed away from people and only traveled among the mountains and rivers. Seeing that Zhao Rui was seriously ill, White Ape picked Ganoderma lucidum and Poria cocos from the mountains for him to eat. Zhao Rui healed.
But how can ordinary people understand monkey language? Although the white ape can understand human speech, it is a monkey and not a human, and cannot speak human speech after all.
The doctor couldn't understand what it said, so he had to resort to various means to kidnap a doctor back. Bai Yuan once learned the Shenshu Sword carved on the golden wall with Jiang Shuo in the Jijin Cave in Maoshan Mountain, and learned a lot more when traveling with Zhao Rui.
The capture method of "The Universe in His Sleeve" can be regarded as a master by human standards. It is not difficult to catch a doctor who has no strength to restrain a chicken. However, when it caught the doctor, Zhao Rui had already passed away suddenly.
When people in the Zhongnan Mountains saw that the white ape would pull people into the mountain to treat people, they all regarded the white ape as a sacred beast. They helped him bury Zhao Rui and set up his tomb. However, the white ape could not speak or write, and Zhao Rui had There was nothing else but a wooden stake erected for him, but no writing. Even if someone saw the tomb after that, they would not know that Zhao Rui was buried here.
The white ape is not like a human being. He doesn't know how to do things like building a house and guarding the tomb. He stayed by the tomb for a few more days and then left.
After that, the White Ape went all the way north, crossed the long and narrow Guanzhong Plain, and entered the northern mountains. It only took ten days to reach Qishan Mountain.
Jiang Shuo asked again: "Brother Bai, why did you come here to pick up coal?" Bai Yuan didn't understand.
"Carbon", originally if they were talking face to face, Jiang Shuo would be able to explain clearly by just picking up a piece of coal, but now the two of them were separated by the stone wall and could not compare. They could only chatter for a long time before the white ape understood what Jiang Shuo meant. I started talking vomitingly.
Xiao Dayou was also heartless. He became very curious. Regardless of the fact that he was now in jail, he asked Jiang Shuo: "Young Master, what did this white ape say to you?" Jiang Shuo said: "Brother Bai. He said that when he and Master Zhao traveled to the east of the river, he saw charcoal. Master Zhao taught him how to burn charcoal to keep warm. When he came here, he saw this thing again, so he picked it up and burned it to roast a hare at night." White Ape and Zhao Rui After living for a long time, I have become accustomed to cooked food. How can this raw meat smell like cooked meat?
Zhao Rui taught it how to drill wood to make fire, but after all, apes are not as skillful as humans, so it is very difficult to make fire with wood, but it is much easier to make fire with this charcoal.
At this time Emperor Fu could not speak. He asked: "I saw many golden-threaded tamarins picking up coal. Are they also with the white ape?" Jiang Shuo asked the white ape and said with a smile: "Shibo, are you there?" Unknown to everyone, my Brother Bai has quite a bit of skill. He has now beaten away the monkey kings on several mountains here, and is now the general leader of all the mountains near and far in Qishan. Xiao Dayou clapped his hands and laughed and said: "Wonderful, young master, you are the master of the rivers and lakes, but you, Brother Bai, have become the master of the monkeys." Lu Jiong scolded coldly: "What are you talking nonsense, Mr. Xiao? You This compares us all to monkeys." Everyone laughed when they heard this. They were locked up here, and it was really boring. They chatted and made jokes every day across the stone wall. Even Lu, who was usually serious in speech, Jiong all joined in.
Xiao Dayou said: "Young Master, please ask Brother Bai quickly if he can send us a message and find someone to save us." Jiang Shuo said: "Although Brother Bai is smart, ordinary people cannot understand its meaning." Xiao Dayou said He sighed and said, "Hey...it doesn't seem to work...are we going to die trapped here?" Emperor Fu said, "Xiao Lang, please stop complaining. With so many people locked up in one place now, at least we can still survive." Being able to chat will make it less boring. I have been imprisoned alone for several years, so my days are like years." Jiang Shuo said: "I don't think Uncle Shun doesn't know martial arts, but I, Brother Bai, have some skills. When that old man comes to deliver food next time, let Brother Bai snatch the key from his hand and rescue us!" Xiao Dayi slapped his thigh and said: "That's right! Brother Bai is the direct disciple of Dongyanzi Zhao Rui. It's not difficult for a pig or a dog to grab the key." After hearing this, the white ape barked arrogantly. Xiao Dayou said: "Hey, I can understand this monkey language. Brother Bai is saying no problem, all inclusive. It was on it. Everyone laughed again, but Lu Yuxuan said: "Xiao Lang, you think too simply. You think only that old man who doesn't know martial arts comes to deliver food every day. Don't talk about Brother Bai. Once someone catches them and takes the key, doesn't that mean they let us all out? Isn't this too imprudent? Everyone fell silent, and Nan Jiyun said, "Is this Uncle Shun actually a master?" I heard that his steps were sloppy and his breathing was short. He didn't look like a good player. Lu Yuxuan smiled and said: "Nan Ba, you are overthinking. What I mean is that Uncle Shun probably doesn't have the key at all." "
