The trees in the mountains to the south, with young leaves sprouting and old branches, are as lush as a canopy.
Chen Mou was hiking along the creek, and the spring flowers were blooming in the mountains. He now knew that the wild spiritual grasses on the roadside were all belonging to their owners.
As a wealthy man with a fortune of more than 400 jars of Houerjiu, he has always looked at the wild wealth on the roadside with admiration and would not take it for himself.
Whatever medicine he needs, he can get it with a jar of wine.
It's just that he doesn't need anything at the moment, his cultivation is improving a little bit every day, and he is very satisfied with the current situation.
Hearing a "squeak" and "beep" noise from monkeys, Chen Mou stopped and looked up at the woods a hundred feet away. Many monkeys were climbing and jumping to chase each other. It was a group of ordinary monkeys fighting over territory. This situation is not surprising.
.
Chen Mou continued to move forward without paying much attention.
The monkeys roared past, and with a "pop", a two-foot-tall black-haired little monkey fell onto the grass at his feet.
The green-haired monkeys climbed on the branches and looked at each other with different expressions. They all recognized the humans who walked around frequently, and they hesitated and did not dare to act boldly. They watched helplessly as the foreign little monkey rolled over and hid behind the feet of humans, seeking protection from humans.
.
Chen Mou recognized the little monkey with several scratches on its body. It had a green face and black fur. It was the cub of the famous howler monkey in the south. It somehow ran across the border and was driven and chased by the green monkeys who had a strong sense of territory.
Unenlightened monkeys often fight violently among groups.
Even if they are all green monkeys, a group of monkeys on the same mountain will often lead to expulsion fights if they cross the boundary.
He walked south along the bank of the stream, and the little black-haired monkey cleverly followed step by step. It escaped the threat of the monkey group and still followed him.
After walking for more than ten miles, Chen Mou stopped and looked at the little thing squatting on the ground unable to move.
He has reached the junction of green monkeys and howler monkeys.
Looking at each other, the little monkey stretched out its paws and made a clasping fist gesture.
"It wants to follow you."
Sitting on a big tree on the mountainside opposite was an adult howler monkey with swarthy black hair. He wore an animal skin around his waist and grinned with an ugly smile. He said, "It's called 'Ciao'. It's just awakened and has pretty good qualifications."
It's a pity that it is a mute, and a howler monkey that cannot bark is a shame to the howler monkey tribe, so it was exiled."
Chen Mou said silently, most of the monster monkeys that can enlighten themselves have a given name. If you want to get the reward of a given name, you must have second-level strength.
Most of the howler monkey's innate abilities lie in their roars.
God played an unfortunate joke on the lucky little guy.
He didn't want to show off in the Green Monkey Tribe with an abandoned little burden. He smiled and shook his head and said to the little monkey in a demon language: "I live in the Green Monkey Tribe, and it's not convenient for me to take you around. You'd better go back."
Go to the southern border."
He flew north without looking back.
The remaining young howler monkey looked left and right. Under the gaze of the adult howler monkey, it backed away in fear, sniffed and chased towards the north.
There was a trace of disdain on the adult howler monkey's mouth. The human was too timid. He was hiding in the territory of the green monkeys and didn't even dare to take a step without eating him.
Chen Mou went back to Danyangfang Courtyard, and when he returned to the island, it was already the next morning.
Surprised to see the black-haired little monkey squatting in the hexagonal pavilion and chewing a fruit, Chen Mou took a look at Lao Yuan who was leisurely drinking tea with half-closed eyes. He sat down, took out a can of good tea from his sleeve, and placed it on the table.
On the stone table, he ignored the movement of the little monkey on the ground quickly approaching his feet.
He reached out and poured himself a cup of clear green tea.
After Lao Yuan finished pretending to be a ghost and enjoyed the ethereal fragrance of tea, and took a sip of tea, Chen Mou smiled and asked: "Where did you pick up this little thing?"
Yuan Hou put down the tea cup, put the tea can on the table into his sleeves, smiled, and said slowly: "It came to the door on its own. It reached the bottom of the graveyard in the middle of the night, and was discovered by those idiots who were not even alert.
The little guy said you were its owner, so Mr. Shishang sent the demon monkey to take it to Luofen Slope, waiting for you to come back so that we can communicate with you."
Chen Mou chuckled and exposed the story mercilessly to his face, saying: "Old Yuan, please make up a story for snacks next time. This little thing is a mute monkey and can't speak."
Yuan Hou twitched his lips and responded with the same hey, "Master Chen, please be more patient and see if the little thing can write."
Chen Mou lowered his head and saw the little black-haired monkey, stained with saliva, writing "I can't speak, I can read and write" on the bluestone with his fingers. He looked at the beautiful and regular demon script written by Bixu'er.
The Crab Crawl font is much stronger.
I wonder how the little thing learned the skill of writing?
Chen Mou, who was brutally slapped in the face, said to the little monkey: "I am not your master. Whoever takes you in will determine who you will hang out with in the future."
The corner of his mouth turned toward Lao Yuan, making a blatant gesture.
The little monkey shrank towards Chen Mou's feet.
Yuan Hou laughed and said: "Some fate can't be shaken off. Chen Mou, you'd better accept it. It only has one name. From now on, it will live in Luofen Slope. You don't need to worry about its eating, drinking and littering. Just treat it as such."
It’s about doing good deeds.”
Chen Mou glanced at the monkey-faced man suspiciously, and when he saw Yuan Hou nodded slightly, he agreed.
"Fine."
"You still don't kowtow to your master."
Yuan Hou ordered the little monkey, watched the little monkey obediently kowtow three times, completed the simple ceremony, reached out and used magic to trap the black-haired little monkey, and sent it to the other side of the lake.
The two watched the little monkey land on the shore, and using their hands and feet, they ran into the fruit trees in the distance.
"Anything to say?"
Chen Mou asked with a smile.
Lao Yuan, who has been sleeping for thousands of years, is not a good demon in his heart, but he still advises him to do good deeds. There is a saying, "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you." There must be a reason for this.
He and Lao Yuan were bound together by a graveyard.
The big interests are in the same direction, so I don't worry about being cheated of spiritual stones.
"The little thing is not a mute. Those idiots of the Howler Monkey Tribe are ignorant and incompetent. They just yell at the top of their voices all day long. They don't know how to read a few more classics left by their ancestors to learn about the rare things that happen in thousands of years."
Da Yin's seeds drove them away and blinded their monkey eyes. Fortunately, I met you and accidentally saved the little thing's monkey life. Otherwise, I wouldn't have discovered the clues."
No matter how much tea Yuan Hou pretends to be elegant, he can't hide the fact that he has no elegance.
He uttered vulgar words and foamed at the mouth.
Chen Mou understood that the little black-haired monkey was able to wander into the Green Monkey tribe alone, passing through countless monkey territories along the way, and surviving to the graveyard. This was the result of Lao Yuan's secret care. He asked curiously:
"Then how can we make the monkey talk?"
"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry. There is a saying that 'If you don't roar, you will be a blockbuster.' When the time comes, it will naturally roar at its loudest. You have found a treasure... How can you thank me for your hard work?
"
Yuan Hou stretched out his furry paws, rubbed his three fingers, bared his teeth and had a wicked smile on his face, and openly asked for the favor fee.
In front of so many monkeys, he had to carry on the majestic airs of his ancestors, just like the clay-embodied Bodhisattva.
Only when I get along with Chen Mou, the owner of the jade biscuit, does his monkey nature come to light. He laughs, scolds, scolds, and acts like a scoundrel, and he gets everything he wants.
Chen Mou was surprised and said: "Didn't I give you a jar of spiritual tea with ten spiritual stones? You forgot before I turned around. This kind of memory is not necessary."
Yuan Hou laughed and cursed, "You are a ruthless kid, but you can still get ten spiritual stones and a jar of spiritual tea. If something like this happens next time, huh, you won't have any share."
"Haha, it should be my thing, I'm sure it won't escape."
Chen Mou was very open-minded, poured tea for the person opposite, raised a cup with both hands and said, "Thank you for taking care of me."
Yuan Hou grinned and said, "That's pretty much it."
After drinking the tea, he added: "If you have time, you can go to the territory of the gibbon monkey. 'The green monkey makes wine, the black monkey roars, and the gibbon monkey does not use his hands to write seals.' You will understand if you can do it after you go there."
Learning the unique skills of gibbon monkeys depends on how hard you work?"
Chen Mou reacted immediately.
"You are talking about painting inscriptions on the refined weapons to improve the quality of the weapons!"
He was really curious. Instead of using hands to write seal patterns, could it be done with feet or tail?
Since Lao Yuan has mentioned this, when the time is right, he will definitely pay a visit and find a way to learn some inscription skills from the long-armed monkey tribe through exchanges and exchanges.
