"Yeah. Ape Mountain! Most of the things stolen by the spiritual apes are buried there. But it's very dangerous to go in there. I really don't recommend that you go to that place for a sword."
Senior Sister Lan shook her head and said, seeming to regret saying this place: "In short, that place is very dangerous. It's best not to go."
"Senior Sister Lan, are you too alarmist? Can we still be afraid of a group of monkeys?"
Duan Gang disagreed.
"It's a spiritual ape, not a monkey."
Senior Sister Lan said with some anger.
"Senior Sister Lan, you'd better tell me what's going on."
Yang Ji spoke, his eyes revealing some kind of will.
"Hey, Yang Ji, I'm not being alarmist. Ape Mountain is a place where spiritual apes hang out. It's different from the spiritual apes that come alone to steal things on our mountain. There are a lot of spiritual apes there, and they all move in groups. And
, I don’t know from which generation, these spiritual apes have watched us practice so much that they actually learned martial arts.”
Senior Sister Lan said.
"ah!"
Yang Ji finally showed a shocked look when he heard that the spiritual ape could also do martial arts. A powerful and intelligent spiritual ape was not afraid, but a group of powerful spiritual apes who also knew martial arts was completely different.
"How could it be? Isn't that almost the same as a martial pet?"
Duan Gang said in surprise. He didn't want to say anything "alarmist" anymore.
The advantage of a "martial artist" lies in "martial arts", but if even the spiritual ape knows "martial arts", then this advantage will no longer exist.
"They are similar to martial pets. However, the spirit apes are unruly, wild and difficult to tame, and they have their own tribe. They are not easy to be tamed at all. There is no need to be afraid of the spirit apes in the sect, but the spirit apes on the Ape Mountain..., the sect
Although he didn't say it explicitly, privately everyone regards that place as a forbidden area. Even some senior brothers are not willing to go near that kind of place."
Senior Sister Lan said with a worried look.
Yang Ji and Duan Gang, the two "newcomers" who came to the mountain not long ago, know only a limited amount of things. But she has been in the sect for many years, so there is no one who doesn't know the ins and outs. But looking at the situation in front of her, I'm afraid she won't be able to convince Yang Ji.
"I see."
Yang Ji closed his eyes and listened to Senior Sister Lan's narration. He also understood to some extent that these "spiritual apes" were not as simple as he imagined.
But soon, it will be time for the "Court Order". Without the "Blood Qi Sword" and unable to display the unique skill of "Immortal Carrying a Sword", he will be missing a big helping hand, and he will encounter many difficulties in the future.
Due to both emotion and reason, the "Blood Qi Sword" must come back.
"Senior Sister Lan."
Yang Ji raised his head and opened his eyes:
"I heard you just said that disciples in the sect often lose things. In this way, these spiritual apes should not only come once or twice. There should be a way to find them, right?"
What Yang Ji means is that since Senior Sister Lan knows that someone in the sect has lost something, she can break through from here, find out the rules of these spiritual apes' activities, and catch them.
However, Senior Sister Lan's reaction was beyond his expectation.
"Why!"
Upon hearing Yang Ji's inquiry, Senior Sister Lan sighed in her heart, knowing that nothing could change Yang Ji's mind.
"There's no need to go to all that trouble."
Senior Sister Lan hesitated for a moment and then said it:
"Spirit monkeys generally only visit a place once. However, some disciples will be visited several times in a row. You just said that you lost a few scriptures and took away all the Langhao pens. It also splashed ink everywhere in the room.
, this situation is rare. Because the spirit ape usually takes things and leaves. - I feel that it may come again."
As soon as these words came out, Yang Ji and Duan Gang's eyes lit up.
If the "spiritual ape" who "committed the crime" could be caught, it wouldn't be too difficult to find the Blood Sword.
"It would be great if that's true. Senior Sister Lan, thank you."
Yang Ji said seriously.
"Yang Ji, these guys are actually just curious and like to play. Promise me, if you catch it, you won't kill it, okay?"
Senior Sister Lan said with a look of dismay.
"Haha, don't worry."
Yang Ji flicked his sleeves and said with a smile: "I just want to find the lost 'Blood Sword', and I don't have to kill it. As for the lost scriptures, I have read them. It doesn't matter at all."
Senior Sister Lan breathed a sigh of relief and then left Yang Ji's residence. Girls are always kind-hearted and full of sympathy. This is true even for animals, not to mention the spiritual "spiritual ape".
After Senior Sister Lan left, Yang Ji began to carefully think about strategies to capture the "spiritual ape" who stole the "Blood Sword". In the next few days, Yang Ji deliberately increased the time he spent out.
Duan Gang also deliberately cooperated and went to other places to practice. However, both of them stared at the front and rear windows and doors of the palace with wary expressions.
However, unexpectedly, in the next few days, the palace was quiet and there was no sound at all. The "spiritual ape" seemed to have no intention of returning here at all.
"What's going on? Could it be that Senior Sister Lan's guess is wrong. This spiritual ape has never thought about coming here again?"
In the room, Yang Ji frowned, looking thoughtful.
If this is the case, things will be very troublesome. If Yang Ji cannot catch the "spiritual ape" that caused the trouble, he will not be able to follow the clues and find his "blood sword", and he will have no choice but to enter the Ape Mountain.
But if "Ape Mountain" were really so easy to find, there wouldn't be so many disciples who lost their things and couldn't find them back. Senior Sister Lan wouldn't warn herself so specifically.
“If you can’t let go of the child, you can’t trap the wolf!”
Yang Ji's mind was filled with thoughts, and he suddenly gritted his teeth and simply took off the "Hundred Refiners Long Sword" from his body and hung it on the wall as before.
"This is still not enough."
Yang Ji's heart moved and he found Zhang Xiong and the others. Once they explained what had happened, Zhang Xiong and the others were very happy. After a while, they found Yang Ji a set of Langhao pens and ink sticks.
Yang Ji hung the Langhao pen on the pen holder and ground the ink sticks to make ink. Everything returned to the way it was before, as if nothing had happened.
"If this doesn't attract it, then maybe it won't come at all. Or, Senior Sister Lan is simply wrong. All of this was done by the disciples of the sect. It was done like this just to disguise itself as a spiritual ape.
It looks like it has been here before. Let me draw my attention to the spiritual ape."
In front of the desk, Yang Ji arranged everything, his eyes were sharp, and he thought secretly in his heart.
Yang Ji was also dubious about Senior Sister Lan's words. After all, he had never seen a "spiritual ape". He had no way to confirm what Senior Sister Lan said.
Moreover, it is not impossible to lead one's thoughts to the "spiritual ape" in order to raise doubts about people's past.
Yang Ji glanced out the window. The sounds on Tieguan Mountain were much quieter, and the sky was dark. It was already evening before he knew it.
"Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind. Wait until tomorrow to lure it in."
Yang Ji secretly thought in his heart.
For several days in a row, I was focused on the "Spirit Ape" thing. Unknowingly, Yang Ji felt a little tired, so he lay down in a daze and took a nap.
Vaguely, Yang Ji suddenly heard a cold snake hiss in his ears:
"His!——"
Following this sound, a cold wave swept over, covering half of Yang Ji's body. Shocked by this, Yang Ji suddenly woke up:
"It's Xiaoji!——"
Almost at the same time, a "pop" sound came from the window, as if something was quickly moving away in the darkness.
In a trance, a flash of lightning flashed through his mind. Yang Ji's whole body trembled, and he suddenly woke up. He understood something.
"It's a spiritual ape!"
In the flash of lightning, there was no time to think too much. Yang Ji quickly grabbed a handful on the inkstone, then dodged his body and threw himself out of the window.
In the darkness, with the help of the torch on the mountain, you can clearly see a blurry black figure, quickly heading down the mountain along the mountain road.
"It's really a spiritual ape!"
Yang Ji's last trace of sleepiness disappeared in an instant. Senior Sister Lan was right, it was really the spiritual ape who broke into his room and took away the Blood Qi Sword.
When Yang Ji was confused, he also heard some noises. But he didn't take it seriously, thinking it was from other juniors in the sect. However, the spiritual ape could not hide it from him, but it could not hide it from "Xiao Ji".
"Whoosh!"
Yang Ji's feet were a little lower, and his body was as light as weightless, but his speed was incredibly fast, like a bolt of lightning heading towards the direction where the spiritual ape escaped.
"Swallows fly through the clouds." After Yang Ji mastered this light skill, his overall speed increased. Like a light swallow, he dragged a straight line in the void and flew towards the black shadow in front of him.
His speed was extremely fast. He touched the pagoda, pool, railings, copper stove, and protruding rocks with his feet, and his speed immediately surged again. He was incredibly light.
This is the speed of "a swallow piercing the clouds". Every point can be used as a tool, and it can be extremely fast in any terrain.
"What a speed!"
After a while, Yang Ji finally couldn't help being surprised.
He originally thought that he was fast enough and would be able to catch up with it soon. But the fact surprised Yang Ji. The spiritual ape jumped more than ten feet each time, and
His movements were light and agile, not much slower than Yang Ji's.
"How can it be so fast!"
Yang Ji's eyes widened. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard for Yang Ji to believe that these apes could move so quickly.
And unlike the way humans advance, these guys move forward completely by leaps and bounds, almost creating a set of light skills of their own.
"No wonder they can't be caught in the mountains. These guys run away so fast, how can they be caught!"
Yang Ji was surprised, his heart moved, and he sped up to catch up.
"Goooooooooooooooooooo!——"
The spirit ape was chased so fast by Yang Ji that he screamed in fright and ran forward frantically.
"call!"
In the dark night, the mountain wind roared, and the spiritual ape kicked off his legs and suddenly jumped into the darkness. At this time, he ran out of the scope of Tieguan Mountain.
"Oops, we're in trouble now!"
Yang Ji frowned slightly. Without the light of the copper stove and lights on Tieguan Mountain, the surrounding mountains were dark. It would be very difficult to chase this spiritual ape.
"call!"
Before he had time to think about it, his vision dimmed and Yang Ji had already chased him out. The peaks on both sides were ferocious and Cui Wei, as if giant beasts were squatting there. The wind howled in his ears, and they were far away in an instant.
The spiritual ape in front jumped in and jumped among the rocks, trees and peaks, shuttling back and forth rapidly. It was extremely fast and was very familiar with the surrounding environment. It looked like it was familiar with the road.
On the other hand, Yang Ji was immediately affected a lot. He rarely left Tieguan Mountain, and the only time he went was to the small town at the foot of the mountain. It can be said that he had never visited the surrounding peaks at all.
This time, he followed the spiritual ape and jumped in. He immediately kicked one deep and one shallow. The surrounding shrubs, thorns, ancient trees, and mountains all turned into black shadows, which added a lot of trouble to Yang Ji. (Unfinished)
