"Okay, let's use our spiritual consciousness to communicate."
The hoarse sound coming from the white ape's throat made Ye Tian's body goosebumps. He did know that there was a horizontal bone in the ape's throat, which could produce human voices after being refined, but he didn't expect it to be so unpleasant.
"Master Dao, I just haven't spoken for a long time. I just need to talk."
To say that apes are definitely close relatives of humans, their ability to imitate human habits is far superior to that of other animals. When the white ape opened his mouth to speak again, his voice was much more normal.
"Senior, is my disciple okay?" After talking for a long time, Ye Tian couldn't help but feel worried when he saw that Zhou Xiaotian was still unconscious.
"With your level of cultivation, you still dare to accept disciples? What a mistake!"
After hearing what Ye Tian said, Bai Yuan sneered and said: "His cultivation is too poor, not much better than ordinary people. According to the master's rules, I can't see him. I just closed his six senses!"
"Senior is really good at it, but I can't do what you are doing!"
Seeing the white ape's proud look, Ye Tian quickly flattered him. As the saying goes, there is no priority in learning, and those who master come first. Even though there is only an ape in front of him, the opponent's cultivation level is indeed far superior to his own.
"Of course, after following the master for so many years, Master Dao has many tricks!" He hasn't talked to anyone for decades, and now that Ye Tian is so knowledgeable, the white ape is unwilling to leave.
While Bai Yuan was happy, Ye Tian asked without giving up: "Senior, do you really have no skills that humans can practice?"
"No, I wasn't literate when I was practicing. When I was literate, I had already practiced the current exercises. What's the use of learning from humans?"
As Ye Tian kept calling him "Senior", Bai Yuan seemed to feel that it was a bit shameful to say this. He thought for a moment and then said: "I still have some small tricks, such as using my spiritual sense to hide my whereabouts. Let's teach you together. You...
The soul has been condensed to such a degree that it can barely be used!"
"Senior, what I lack most now is my skills. Otherwise, I will lose all my true energy and be almost like a useless person."
Hearing Bai Yuan's words, Ye Tian was a little bit dumbfounded. Even if he learns these small spells, it will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. His soul cannot be cultivated, and his cultivation will only stagnate.
"This... Taoist Master, I can't help it." White Ape shook his head. It was actually just a gatekeeper spirit beast. It had lived long enough to achieve its current level of cultivation. How could it know how to teach Ye Tian?
"By the way, Senior Situ's cave should be in the mountains, right?"
Ye Tian suddenly remembered something, his eyes lit up, and he said: "Senior Situ is a scholar of heaven, and he must have passed down some skills in his cave. Senior, can you let me go in and learn about it?"
According to Bai Yuan, the Situ family has lived in Shennongjia for generations. With these thousands of years of accumulation, there will definitely be no shortage of cultivation techniques. Maybe with luck, there will be some leftover elixirs.
"Entering the master's cave?"
After hearing Ye Tian's words, Bai Yuan's thin body suddenly jumped up and screamed: "Don't even think about it. The master sealed the cave when he left. Not to mention you, even Dao Master and I."
You can’t even get in!”
"You can't go in either? Didn't Senior Situ leave you to look after the cave?" Ye Tian was surprised when he heard this and mentioned it himself. The monkey seemed to have quite a lot of resentment.
"The master has sealed the core of the cave, and I can't get in."
Bai Yuan muttered angrily: "The master is too stingy. He kept all the good things inside and gave me a bottle of elixir. Otherwise, how could the Taoist master's cultivation have stagnated?"
Although he has been a servant of the Situ family for generations, he can't get rid of Tian's surname as a monkey. Especially the one in front of Ye Tian has always been greedy, and he doesn't know how many good things he has ruined.
Therefore, when this generation of Situ's descendants left, they sealed all the core areas such as his living room and alchemy room. Although White Ape tried his best, he could not open it.
"Senior, why don't you take me to see it? Maybe I can open it. If you can't open it manually, you can use explosives!"
Seeing the white ape's move, Ye Tian couldn't help but become confused. Although it was a bit unethical to play tricks on a monkey, he couldn't resist the temptation of the cave's skills.
"What? Explosives? Something that makes a lot of noise?"
White Ape shook his head repeatedly and said: "Don't even think about it. It's nothing to steal a few pills from the master. If I destroy the master's cave, he can peel off my skin when he comes back!"
As he spoke, Bai Yuan opened his eyes, looked at Ye Tian unkindly, and said, "You are not a good person either. How can you destroy the master's cave at will? Besides, everything in the cave belongs to me!
"
The last words of the white ape revealed its true thoughts, and Ye Tian couldn't help but smile bitterly. There was nothing he could do when he encountered such a superb monkey.
The expert did see it, but it was not a human being. Ye Tian put aside the awkwardness in his heart. He was not willing to talk nonsense with this monkey anymore. He immediately said: "Senior, I think your luck is shallow. I would like to ask you, senior, where else do you know?"
If there is an expert with the same cultivation level as my senior, please go visit me again."
Bai Yuan thought for a while and said: "There is a group of people in Kunlun Mountain, but they have not been born for sixty or seventy years. I wonder if they are still there?
In addition, there are some outstanding people in Qingcheng Mountain, and their realm is not weak, but they are similar to those in Kunlun, and they have not been out for such a long time. I don’t know about the others."
"There are indeed experts in Qingcheng Mountain!"
Ye Tian's heart trembled when he heard what the white ape said, but the time it mentioned was almost the same as what Nan Huaijin said. The man hadn't come out for so many years, so he might really be dead.
"Chichi...chichi!"
When Ye Tianzheng was talking to White Ape, Mao Tou jumped back and kept gesticulating on his face with his little paws. At this time, it already knew that White Ape had no ill intentions towards them, but it was not afraid of this senior senior "person".
Already.
Ye Tian couldn't understand what Mao Tou said, but Bai Yuan understood it. He glared and said, "Am I bragging? When Chang Mao was fighting, I lived for decades, and I'm almost 200 years old now."
,How come you haven’t experienced what happened sixty or seventy years ago?”
"Changmao? Are you talking about the Taiping Rebellion? Senior, how do you know about it?"
Ye Tian was stunned for a moment. Because the Qing Dynasty promoted the change of clothes, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom did not shave their heads, did not braid their hair, and had disheveled hair. Therefore, all the Taiping soldiers were called "long-haired".
The Taiping Rebellion occurred around 1850. If White Ape was already dozens of years old at that time, he has indeed lived for almost 200 years now. He is really not bragging.
Bai Yuan curled his lips and said: "There was a boy in the long hair who was familiar with the master. After the defeat, he begged the master to come out. He knelt here for a month, but the master ignored him and then left."
At that time, although the white ape's intelligence had been awakened, he could not speak or transmit sounds. However, he listened to the man talking all day long, and he also knew some things outside the mountain.
"Damn, this is simply a walking dictionary. If people who study the history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom know about it, they will definitely worship it as their ancestor!"
Ye Tian originally thought that his master and Gou Xin's family were old enough, but compared with this white ape, they were simply late-born descendants.
After Bai Yuan told Ye Tian some things about that year, he suddenly asked: "By the way, boy, how did you know that there were monks in Shennongjia?"
"I got a book in which a senior had imprinted a spiritual map. It is in Shennongjia. This kid is here to try his luck."
Even the monkey could talk, so Ye Tian was naturally not afraid that it would not believe his words. He immediately told the story of the "Kaiyuan Dao Zang" he had obtained at the auction and the discovery of the map of consciousness.
"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Bai Yuan said: "You use your spiritual consciousness to transmit the map to me, which is similar to the method of divine consciousness transmitting sounds."
Ye Tian tried it, and according to the method taught by the monkey, the map could indeed be transferred to the other party's mind.
After seeing the map, Bai Yuan seemed to remember something and murmured: "Is this here? No one has been here for decades!"
"Senior, may I ask where this market is?" Ye Tian originally thought that the market was the cave of Situ's descendants, but seeing the monkey's expression, he knew that he had guessed wrong.
"The market is naturally a place where cultivators exchange items. You don't even know this?"
Bai Yuan glanced at Ye Tian angrily and said: "As early as sixty or seventy years ago, there were often people from outside coming and going there, but now it has long been abandoned. I don't know if all those people are dead?"
In front of Ye Tian, the monkey can still act as a senior to show off, but those who have been here in the past sixty or seventy years can be wiped out with a snap of the fingers. The monkey suffered a lot at that time, but it has no effect on these people.
Not the slightest bit of goodwill.
"Senior, I wonder if you could take me to the market?"
Ye Tian thought for a while, he couldn't go back like this when he came to Shennongjia. If he went to the places where the senior masters had traded, he might be able to pick up something that others didn't like.
Bai Yuan nodded and said: "You are considered a monk, so you can naturally go there, but he can't. The master said that mortals cannot enter that place!"
"Xiao Tian can't go? What about Mao Tou?" Ye Tian pointed at Mao Tou who was making faces at the white ape.
"Of course it can go. Except for Daoye, it can also walk sideways inside Shennongjia."
Bai Yuan bared his teeth at Mao Tou and said proudly: "Master Tao will teach you some techniques so that you can use your spiritual consciousness. But if you want to talk like Master Tao, it's impossible!"
The main purpose of the demon cultivator is to open up the spiritual intelligence so that it can think like a human being. As for speaking and making sounds, only demon cultivators such as apes and monkeys whose body structures are similar to humans can do it.
"Okay, I'll go with you, but I want to leave a note for Xiao Tian." Ye Tian thought for a moment, took out a pen and paper from his bag and started writing.
