People from both the east and the north marched toward Chang'an together.
A certain city lord in Chang'an City is not paying attention to the Eastern Tang Dynasty or the Northern Qi Dynasty at the moment. He is focusing on the education construction of the fourth-level universities in his city.
Other than that, just pay attention to the situation on Shen and Rong's side.
Shen Herong and his party quietly left the city, quietly left Longbei County, and headed south in a low-key manner, heading to Boyue Lake in Xiangxi County.
After a long journey, the three of them arrived.
Then the first thing was to contact Han Zhe, the elder of Dahelongmen who was staying here to observe the situation.
Following Mr. Wu Yun's order, Han Zhe stayed at the shore of Boyue Lake for almost two months.
Elder Han is not as relaxed as taking a vacation here. He lives alone in the wilderness, hiding his whereabouts to avoid attracting attention. At the same time, he patrols the lake every day, searching for traces of the "Ape Dragon King" Ao Kong.
However, Han Zhe has a calm temperament and has been a savage in Boyue Lake for two months. Until now, he has not relaxed at all and is still serious.
It's just a pity that he has never seen Ao Kong, and he has not found any trace of the Mountain-moving Demonic Ape around Boyue Lake.
Elder Han, who had gained nothing, continued to wait in the Boyue Lake area, and then Shen and Rong waited.
"Thank you for your hard work, senior." Ao Ying said apologetically.
Han Zhe shook his head slightly: "It's hard work, but it's a pity that there has been no harvest."
"We're here to help look for it, too." Shen Herong said with a smile.
The identity and relationship between father and daughter Ao Kong and Ao Ying are still kept secret from most people.
Although Han Zhe was curious, since Mr. Wuyun didn't tell him, he didn't ask.
Ao Ying came to the southeast of Boyue Lake, where there was a hill nestled against the lake.
"Dad and I agreed to meet at the foot of the mountain here." Ao Ying whispered to Shen Herong.
"Tomorrow is your birthday, don't be impatient." Shen Herong whispered to her: "We'll wait and see."
A few people spread out by the lake at the foot of the mountain, quietly observing the surroundings.
No one else came that day.
The sun sets and night gradually falls.
Ao Ying did not rest, but continued to watch eagerly by the lake at the foot of the mountain.
However, she kept watch all night and still didn't see her father show up.
Shen Herong comforted her and stayed with her until dawn.
However, everyone watched the sun rise again, all the way up to the sky, and then gradually set in the west as time went by.
During this period, someone else approached.
Shen Herong and others had no choice but to hide first so as not to expose their whereabouts.
But after waiting all day, Ao Kong was still nowhere to be seen.
Seeing that the sun was gradually setting again, Ao Ying did not see any loss in her eyes, but the look of worry became more and more intense.
My father is lost in the demonic blood of the Mountain-Moving Demonic Ape, so he spends most of his time awake in time and space.
He couldn't remember his birthday, but Ao Ying was not sad.
At this moment, the girl is more worried that her father is in danger. Even if she wants to come to Bo Yue Lake, she is powerless.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Shen Herong comforted her: "Although the Ape Dragon King is injured, his cultivation strength is still something few can match.
As for a powerful enemy like Yingxiao, my father suffered a loss from him once, and I will definitely not be fooled again now."
Ao Ying forced a smile: "I'm afraid that when he meets Yang...Yang Li, he doesn't know that Yang Li is also a traitor and a bad guy."
Shen Herong stretched out her short hands and hugged Ao Ying, who was almost a head taller than her.
She and Zhang Dongyun are actually worried about this too.
From this perspective, they even hope that Aokong will still be out of control and will not be able to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.
In this way, it would be safer for him to meet Yang Li.
From afar, Monk Huiming came over.
Ao Ying looked at him, and the young monk shook his head gently: "No one is coming over there."
The girl couldn't help but sigh again.
After a while, Han Zhe also came over: "There are no signs of the Mountain Moving Demon Ape approaching in other places around the lake. I will go around it again later."
"Senior Han, please take a rest and I'll go next." Ao Ying stood up.
Han Zhe shook his head: "It doesn't matter, this is Han's responsibility."
Several people waited together at the foot of the mountain, watching the time slowly slide towards midnight.
This day is about to pass.
Ao Ying sighed softly: "I'm going to walk around the lake."
Just as she was about to leave, Shen Herong's eyes suddenly flashed slightly.
Ao Ying took a few steps and suddenly stopped.
She suddenly turned around and looked towards the hill.
Monk Huiming and Han Zhe on the side also acted in the same way.
The three of them rushed to the top of the mountain in unison.
Shen Herong took a deep breath, then chased after him with a confused look on his face: "Someone is coming? Is it the Ape Dragon King?"
Everyone reached the top of the mountain and looked at the other side of the hillside.
With their eyesight, even in the dark, they could see a figure halfway up the mountain, slowly climbing up the mountain.
The visitor was tall, about forty years old, with a scruffy beard and messy hair.
It is none other than the former "Ape Dragon King" Ao Kong.
However, at this moment, Ao Kong's eyes showed a strange look.
Like a wild beast, he looked warily at the top of the mountain, where Shen Herong and others were.
But while his eyes were fierce, he was also a little confused, as if he was wondering why he came back to this place.
Although Aokong's appearance is no different from that of ordinary people, there is a violent and bloody aura all over his body. He is called Han Zhe, and Huiming is secretly frightened.
Shen Herong held Ao Ying's hand: "It seems that the Ape Dragon King has not yet recovered his sanity, and has been affected by the blood of the mountain-moving ape and has lost his normalcy.
He may not remember your birthday, and he may not be able to recognize who you are mentally, but he will remember that today is a special day and remember to come to Wave Moon Lake."
Ao Ying was pleasantly surprised, but looking at Ao Kong's appearance, she was worried.
Shen Herong whispered to himself: "Is this my father..."
Having said that, at that moment, Ao Kong stared at the people on the mountain and glanced at Ao Ying, but he didn't seem to recognize his daughter.
There was a faint blood-red light flashing in his pupils, and he looked fierce.
"I'll give it a try." Ao Ying slowly walked down the mountain.
Shen Herong let go of her hand and looked closely at Ao Kong.
Little monk Huiming and Han Zhe were on the side, equally nervous and on guard.
Ao Ying approached Ao Kong. After reaching a certain distance, the aura around him suddenly became more vicious, and his pair of blood-red eyes were frightening.
"Dad, it's me..." Ao Ying quickly stopped.
My father lost control. At this moment, he was more dangerous and more ferocious than the real Mountain-moving Demonic Ape.
At this moment, he was on the verge of attacking.
Ao Ying was convinced that if she took another step forward, her father would probably grab her with his claws.
However, she also has experience in dealing with such a father.
"Dad, it's me, Ying'er." Ao Ying's voice was soft: "Look, this is what you taught me."
As she spoke, her body shape changed.
The beautiful girl disappeared, surrounded by clouds and smoke, and was replaced by a long dragon with white body and silver claws.
Huan Tianlong swam gracefully in mid-air, mouthing human words: "Dad, look."
Ao Kong on the opposite side seemed to be stunned for a moment, his eyes flashing with blood.
But the next moment, his expression suddenly became ferocious, and the blood in his eyes was dazzling like never before!
With a roar, Aokong's figure suddenly expanded, and countless black hairs rushed out from the surface of his skin.
A huge giant ape that was almost as tall as the hill beside the lake appeared in front of Shen Herong and others.
The mountain-moving demon ape roared while its huge claws fiercely grabbed Huantian Long in mid-air.
Huantianlong was startled and quickly dodged, but was still grabbed by the dragon's tail by the mountain-moving demon ape.
Fortunately, at this time, the canopy of clouds opened and turned into clouds and mist.
The clouds and mist condensed and were as sharp as a knife, cutting right into the wrist vein of the Mountain-Moving Demon Ape.
The mountain-moving demonic ape paused for a moment to grab the dragon's tail, and Huantianlong took the opportunity to escape quickly without being completely caught by the demonic ape.
"My father should have recognized me a few times before." Ao Ying was shocked.
"According to Mr. Wu Yun, your father has lost control even more seriously."
Shen Herong said while driving Yunluo Huagai:
"Your Majesty is now transformed into a demon ape and hates the demon dragon that he had previously reached a balance with. So now that he sees you transforming into a magical dragon, he becomes furious."
The demon ape just made a slight pause and grabbed the empty one. Instead, it became even more angry and grabbed Huan Tianlong with its other claw.
Huan Tianlong quickly transformed back into human form.
But the Mountain-Moving Demonic Ape has been keeping a close eye on her and is still pursuing her.
"Now I have no choice but to make myself self-defeating." Ao Ying quickly dodged.
"Don't be afraid, Mr. Wu Yun has a way." The girl pointed to the blue sky eye on her head: "We can just follow Mr. Wu Yun's instructions."
Just now, she followed Zhang Dongyun's instructions and promptly cut the Demon Ape's wrist with Yunluo Huagai.
The point of attack was at the weak point of the opponent's strength, so he could use four ounces of force to save Ao Ying in time.
Upon hearing this, young monk Huiming and Han Zhe quickly stepped forward to restrain the demon ape according to the instructions passed by Shen Herong.
In Chang'an City, in the Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun gave instructions one by one: "...Finally, let Huiming cultivate his skills in the spirit of Buddhism and attack his Niwan Palace."
The reason why young monk Huiming was sent here was to prevent this situation.
When the mountain-moving demon ape was restrained from all sides, the young monk clasped his palms together and the golden light gathered.
A towering Mount Sumeru appeared, right on top of the demon ape's head.
While the demon ape was dizzy, Mount Sumeru turned into a Bodhi tree and pierced the Niwan Palace between the demon ape's eyebrows.
Continuous Sanskrit sounds sounded in the mind of the demon ape, which was peaceful and peaceful, dispelling his murderous thoughts.
Gradually, the blood-red light in the eyes of the mountain-moving demon ape dimmed.
The huge body like a hill began to shrink, and finally regained its human form.
Ao Kong appeared in front of everyone again, no longer evil.
However, his eyes were dull, as if he had lost his thoughts and stood there numbly.
"Bring it back."
Zhang Dongyun said.
Shen Herong nodded: "Let's take the Ape Dragon King back to Chang'an City first, and ask His Majesty and Mr. Wu Yun to take action, which will definitely make him wake up completely."
"That's all we can do for now." Ao Ying looked at her father's current appearance and sighed helplessly.
The group immediately took Ao Kong on the road back north.
On the way, young monk Huiming suddenly asked Ao Ying: "The donor, your lord...could he be the 'Ape Dragon King' among the Twelve Yamas back then?"
