"I was going to kick them until they were unconscious, but they kept barking."
As she spoke, she slowly raised the boning knives in both hands, aimed at the monkey, and planned to chop off the monkey's head with a flying knife.
But at this moment, an extremely violent roar suddenly sounded in the dense forest, and then a large number of black shadows rushed out as if endless, appeared on the big trees in all directions, and surrounded the two people.
Looking around, they saw wild monkeys holding weapons and tools. Some were holding tree branches, some were tying stones with vines and swinging them like meteor hammers, some were holding stone axes and knives, and some were even holding simple wooden bows... They were all grinning and staring at them with unfriendly eyes.
? ? ? ?
Feng Baobao's usually clever eyes finally couldn't help but show a puzzled look. She pulled Zhang Taichu's collar and said, "These wild monkeys are more powerful than I thought. How could they be like this?"
Zhang Taichu did not answer immediately. His eyes paused for a moment at a sturdy ape as tall as an adult's shoulder, which was in the center of the monkey group. He looked at the sixteen abdominal muscles and the crown made of palm leaves on its head. He thought for a moment and said, "He can already use his true energy in a preliminary way. Could he be a spirit? But you said he has become a spirit, right? Even a spirit is not so stupid. Why would he come here to seek death?"
“Wuwuu ...
The strongest monkey king held his head high and spoke to Zhang Taichu condescendingly. He gestured with his hands, pointed in the direction of the valley, and punched the tree trunk, shaking off some leaves. He looked like he was intimidating.
Feng Baobao understood this time. He touched his head and said with sudden realization: "It seems that he doesn't want us to enter the valley. Hiss~ What a smart wild monkey."
Then, the monkey stretched out his hand towards her again, and his hairy face suddenly revealed some human vulgarity. He then moved his lower body, posed in an extremely filthy posture, and let out a hehehe laugh.
Feng Baobao was stunned for a moment, then frowned, and then waved his hands to create a phantom.
The next moment, the two Okamoto 0.01 kitchen knives disappeared from his hands.
Chapter 249 Mysterious Qi Bureau; An old photo, sneaking into Lu
The kitchen knife disappeared from Feng Baobao's hand, and the next moment it sank deeply into the tree where the Monkey King had been before, cutting off a strand of monkey hair.
But Monkey Brother had already disappeared from the spot and flashed onto another big tree. There was a lingering fear in his eyes, and his lower body was trembling slightly. He urinated yellow urine, which fell on the head of a wild monkey under the tree.
"What a fast speed! This is a fighting monkey."
Feng Baobao narrowed his eyes, stretched out his hands, and with his inner energy lingering around them, he clenched his hands hard and pulled out the two kitchen knives nailed to the tree. He held them in his hands, then pushed his feet and was about to continue killing Monkey Brother, but was restrained in place by a gentle force.
Zhang Taichu pinched the corner of Feng Baobao's clothes with two fingers and said with a smile: "It's just an uncivilized monkey. Why would you compete with it?"
"I think the reason why this group of monkeys is so different from other monkeys is hidden in the twenty-four-section valley."
"Let's go and see."
Feng Baobao said seriously: "But Xu Si once told me that no matter who poses that way to me, I will beat him to death."
Zhang Taichu was silent for two seconds, then smiled and nodded, "Okay."
next moment.
Suddenly, a golden light flashed through the woods.
Then, the frightened monkey felt a chill in his lower body, as if something important had disappeared. He then slowly lowered his head, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Eeyah! Aa ...
The monkey king stared with eyes wide open, stretched out his hands to pick at the furry area, looked at the wound that had healed in the blink of an eye, felt the emptiness, and howled in disbelief.
Why is it missing?
Why did it disappear?
Where have you gone, little bug?
Could it have turned into a butterfly?
Its brain, which already had some intelligence, was working rapidly. It felt that its insects would never fly away for no reason. Thinking back to the flash of golden light before, it cast a look of extreme hatred on Zhang Taichu.
Zhang Taichu didn't even look at the monkey, but raised his eyebrows towards Feng Baobao and said, "Okay, confiscate the monkey's tools and we won't kill them all."
Feng Baobao touched his head, looked at Monkey Brother's crazy look, blinked his smart eyes, nodded and said, "Okay, then I won't smoke it."
The two did not stop and went straight to the entrance of the valley.
The monkeys holding various weapons around wanted to rush up to bully the weak with their numbers, but they were all knocked unconscious by Zhang Taichu's sleeve.
……
Just two minutes later.
The entrance to the valley appeared in front of the two people. It looked like it had experienced an earthquake. The ground was covered with rubble piled up together. The surface was covered with moss and wild grass and trees grew there.
"According to Mei Jinfeng, this valley didn't originally look like this. It was destroyed by humans, causing it to lose some of its magical functions."
Zhang Taichu said softly, and with a wave of his hands, a large golden light burst out, uprooting all the weeds and trees in the valley before him, sweeping them away in the hurricane, leaving behind only clean rocks and rubble.
On the severely damaged stone walls on both sides, you can still vaguely see the large patterns left behind. On the larger pieces of gravel on the ground, there are also the same strange patterns.
"This pattern seems to be the image that Huaiyi sent to me at the last moment."
Zhang Taichu's eyes flashed as he recalled the strange pattern he had seen before. Comparing it with the stone wall in front of him, he stretched out his palm, wanting to restore everything to its original state.
The broken stones lying on the ground flew up and filled the gaps in the stone wall, until the stone walls on both sides regained their former smooth appearance. Then, under the cutting of the golden sword energy, more and more lines appeared, completely imitating the content of the pattern that Zhang Huaiyi gave him at the last moment.
While repairing the cliff wall, Zhang Taichu went deeper into the cave and actually saw many monkey skeletons along the way.
Feng Baobao followed him closely, holding two kitchen knives, and gradually felt the changes happening around her. When the cliff was restored more and more completely, the Qi in her body showed signs of being unable to be restrained and began to operate on its own!
Moreover, this feeling became stronger and stronger as we went deeper into the cliff, to the point where the thoughts could no longer be stopped!
"This feeling is so strange, as if there is a big hand stirring in my stomach, messing up my Qi sea. I feel dizzy." Feng Baobao covered his head, feeling a little uncomfortable, but he could still hold on.
Zhang Taichu slowed down his body and said, "I can see that this is a kind of Qi situation, so it will affect the Qi in your body."
Feng Baobao asked: "Qi Bureau?"
Zhang Taichu nodded: "Qi Ju, that is, the closed passage formed by the Yuan Qi in a specific space, is separated from the natural flow of the heaven and earth Yuan Qi in the outside world. For example, Feng Shui is a kind of Qi Ju. We control the Qi sea in our body and perform a specific Zhou Tian, which can also be regarded as a kind of Qi Ju."
"There are many natural Qi Bureaus in Qinling Mountains, but this one is artificially created. It is a very strange and precise Qi Bureau. If an outsider rushes in, his Qi will be passively moved."
As he spoke, Zhang Taichu felt his Qi sea that was about to be shaken, and with a thought, he began to practice the Xuantian Qi Fa, easily expelling that feeling. He then glanced at Feng Baobao who was feeling dizzy, and simply rolled up his sleeves to erase the patterns on the stone wall that he had previously repaired.
Feng Baobao shook his head and soon returned to normal.
Zhang Taichu continued to move forward, repairing the stone wall and feeling its effect. After going a certain distance deeper, he dismantled the previous stone wall.
When he walked to a certain place, he suddenly stopped and looked at the changes in the stone patterns around him. He smiled and said, "I understand now. This Qi Bureau can actually help living beings to circulate Qi. First, it can be used, and then it can be dispersed. Therefore, even if a little monkey with no talent comes in, he can feel the movement of the true Qi in his body and have the opportunity to embark on the path of cultivation."
“And the damaged part of the stone wall is not intact. I can only use my Qi but not disperse it. If I continue to go deeper, I’m afraid I’ll be blasted to pieces by the Qi in my body.”
"Over the years, there will always be a few monkeys that have successfully gained Qi and have been artificially transformed into strange beasts. If they continue to cultivate, they can be called elves."
Feng Baobao thought for a moment and said, "If a monkey comes in, it will gain Qi. If an ordinary person comes in, won't he also gain Qi? Wouldn't he become an extraordinary person?"
Zhang Taichu: "Well, you are indeed the True Man Ziyang, to have left behind such a method."
As he spoke, he took a step forward and continued walking deeper into the cave until he came to a pass. He cut through the stone wall and entered, and arrived at a winding cave.
There were too many twists and turns in that cave, all interconnected and circling deep into the cave.
Feng Baobao blinked her eyes and said, "There are so many twists and turns here, I can't find the end."
Zhang Taichu smiled and said, "Then I won't go in."
As soon as he finished speaking, brilliant golden light shone in his eyes and a huge amount of soul power surged out, easily covering a distance of hundreds of feet in radius. It was unable to extend outward and soon enveloped half of the valley.
The invisible spiritual power can easily penetrate the thick rocks, leaving all the mechanisms and formations exposed.
"Found the way."
Zhang Taichu raised the corner of his mouth, then he held Feng Baobao's neck with one hand and took a step forward. The next moment, he came to the corner of a dark cave. On the hard rock ground, there were two footprints of neither deep nor shallow, and it was unknown how many years they had been there.
Feng Baobao looked around and asked, "Where is the road?"
"It's under your feet." Zhang Taichu said, and stomped his foot lightly, causing the huge rock that weighed thousands of tons to fall apart, revealing the scene inside. It turned out to be a stone staircase extending downwards, leading to an unknown place.
Without hesitation, he walked straight in and went all the way down.
He had known the final secret of the Twenty-Four Section Valley as early as when he was in Qinling Mountains, which was the art of creating dragons.
The reason I came here was not to participate in any secret room adventure, but to try to find more clues. Therefore, I am not worthy of playing a puzzle game with Master Zi Yang, who has ascended to heaven for thousands of years.
Feng Baobao, who was standing by, saw that Zhang Taichu had found the secret behind the mechanism, so he followed him happily, holding a kitchen knife in his hand.
The cave was originally very dark, but after Zhang Taichu entered it, it was illuminated by a faint golden light.
He led Feng Baobao to the end of the cave. After stepping on the solid and flat ground, he looked around and saw a well-built stone house with stone tables and chairs, and even a stone bed. There were also many small caves carved out around it, which looked like storage cabinets.
"Someone once lived here. Could it be the former residence of Master Zi Yang?" Zhang Taichu frowned. "But who would place a couch under so many traps?"
Something is wrong, 12 out of 10 something is wrong.
Feng Baobao, who was standing on the side, had already started exploring the hut with a mini flashlight. He pulled out a thick ancient book from the nearest small cave and blew on it twice, trying to see the contents clearly.
"I heard that this Zi Yang Zhenren is very powerful and his family should be very wealthy."
Feng Baobao held the flashlight in his mouth. He had put on thin film gloves on his hands and was carefully cleaning the dust off the surface of the ancient book. He looked very professional, like a tomb robber who had been trained since childhood.
"Oh! The Golden Lotus, is this a martial arts secret book?"
"Oh! There are illustrations, it really is a secret book!"
"It's similar to the Eighteen Awei Styles that Xu Si taught me~"
After Feng Baobao opened the book, he flipped through a few pages casually, touched his chin and said, looking very serious, he really felt that he had found some extraordinary ancient book.
The corner of Zhang Taichu's mouth twitched, and he wondered how Xu Siwazi had taught Feng Baobao to often link Jin Ping Mei with martial arts.
"Xiaobao'er, that Jin Ping Mei is not some secret manual of martial arts, don't keep it in your pocket like a treasure."
He reminded Feng Baobao, then took a step forward and looked at the layout of the stone house. He was 100% sure in his heart that this place was definitely not the original residence of Master Zi Yang, and it must have been destroyed by someone else long ago - it must have been Wu Gensheng's doing.
really.
in the following time.
In that small cave, more and more irrelevant things were "excavated".
A pocket watch from who knows how many years ago, an ugly cup made of clay, a white conch the size of a palm, a camera full of modern sense, a cicada shell, a clay doll...
One by one, items that had nothing to do with the Twenty-Four Valleys were unearthed, causing Zhang Taichu to frown even more.
"So Feng Yao has broken the mechanism set up by Master Zi Yang and is treating this place as his own collection hall?"
He felt a little speechless, but on second thought, he felt that this was in line with Wu Gensheng's temperament.
Just as Feng Baobao was picking up the objects thrown randomly in the corners of the stone house like picking up garbage, Zhang Taichu, who was wandering in the stone house, was finally attracted by the cave on the side of the stone bed. Inside the cave, there was a wooden frame the size of a palm.
Zhang Taichu's mind moved, and he directly pulled the wooden frame into his hands.
“It’s a picture frame.”
As thoughts came to his mind, he turned the wooden frame over, revealing the photo on the front, and then his eyes were stunned.
What appeared before his eyes was a yellowed black-and-white photo. After decades of destruction, it was not too damaged and was just a little blurry.
In the photo, there is a cute little girl wearing a flowery cotton jacket, looking sideways at the camera with a quilted smile on her face.
"Isn't this just a smaller version of Feng Baobao?"
Zhang Taichu looked at the little girl in the photo with some surprise, then raised his head and glanced at the clever Feng Baobao who was still discovering treasures, and felt that the two were 80% similar in their eyes and eyebrows.
He lowered his head again, looked at the photo to confirm it, then called Feng Baobao over and handed her the photo, "Xiao Baoer, is this you?"
When Feng Baobao took the photo, she was already frozen in place, looking at the little girl wrapped in a big cotton-padded jacket in the picture. It seemed that something was about to come out of her dusty memories.
The next moment, she began to tremble all over, and the album in her hand fell to the ground. She covered her cheeks in pain and pressed her temples tightly, "It hurts! My head hurts! Ah!"
Her fair forehead was covered with beads of sweat in the blink of an eye. She squatted and curled up like a shrimp. Although the pain was deep in her bones, she still gritted her teeth, reached out to the photo frame on the ground, took it in front of her, and stared at the little girl's smiling face motionlessly.
……
at the same time.
Thousands of miles away.
Suburban area of Huajin City, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province.
Zhang Chulan stood in a high-rise building of a fast hotel, half squatting, looking out his sly eyes like a thief, looking through the window into the distance, and said without turning his head: "I say, Lu Liang, it turns out that you are also a second-generation rich man, no, a fourth, fifth, sixth, or seventh-generation rich man, and you actually own such a large piece of land in the city!"
Far away outside the window, there is a large area of quaint buildings neatly arranged on the land, which looks really dignified and majestic!
"My Jinhua Lu family is a serious and prestigious family. It has been passed down for more than a thousand years and is ranked as one of the three major families in the alien world."
"Lujia Village is where my Lu family has lived for generations. Do you think it is big?"
Lu Liang put his hands in his trouser pockets and walked to the window as he spoke. The sunlight poured in, stretching his 1.8-meter-tall shadow to the edge of the white bed sheet behind him.
Wang Ye and Ma Xianhong were lying on the bed, sprawled out.
