This fairy stone outside the Water Curtain Cave in Huaguo Mountain gave birth to Sun Wukong who caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace.
At that time, the stone monkey that absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth exploded here, and its sharp edge went straight towards the bullfighting.
The fairy stones scattered on the ground are now messy.
In fact, every piece of scattered immortal stone has a sense of emptiness.
That feeling of emptiness was just like when Dianniang first arrived at Zhutian Supermarket.
Since the appearance of the stone monkey, perhaps no one in the world has cared about these large and small gravels.
"Eh?!"
Although he did not dare to touch it with his hands, when Xiao Tao looked through these fairy stones, he suddenly discovered a secret, an astonishing secret that no one had ever discovered before.
Immortal stones seem to be serially coded.
In other words, each piece of the immortal stone that gave birth to the Stone Monkey has a line of magical code on it.
It's not a number, nor is it a text that Xiaotao can recognize.
Xiaotao uses the camera function that comes with the virtual screen of Zhutian Supermarket to take pictures of these serial codes.
But when he pulled up the photos and looked at them, there was no code displayed on them.
The sequence code was automatically filtered in the photo!
There is no other way, Xiao Tao can only rely on memory to memorize as many of these sequence codes as possible.
This action lasted for seven days and seven nights!
During these seven days, the stone monkeys in Huaguo Mountain watched Xiao Tao from a distance and did not come forward to disturb him.
Although it is not said to be 100% fully realized in the original memory, it is still close to ten.
"call!"
Xiao Tao let out a long breath.
The memory of not sleeping for seven days and seven nights made him feel physically and mentally exhausted.
These looming fairy stone fragments that quietly carry serial codes may be a big secret related to the overall situation in the world of Journey to the West.
Xiaotao felt a sense of relief.
Finally, I gained something in Huaguo Mountain.
"Old man, please take good care of the things given by the three girls."
Before leaving, Xiao Tao and the three elder monkeys warned.
After witnessing the miraculous ability to jump more than thirty feet and staying awake for seven days and seven nights, the monkeys discovered that Xiao Tao must be an extraordinary person, perhaps a god.
"Shangxian, if you meet our king, please be sure to tell him that we... all miss him."
The eldest monkey couldn't help but burst into tears.
His cry caused more than two hundred monkeys at the scene to wipe their tears.
Xiao Tao nodded, said goodbye to all the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain, and followed the most important "Purple Qi from the East" on this trip, pursuing it all the way to the southeast.
Xiao Tao, who restored Taotie to his original appearance, flew over the boundless sea for four days and three nights.
Finally we saw a continent.
According to the Journey to the West map, this is the boundary of Fangcun Mountain in Hezhou, Xiniu.
"Watching the chess players playing, felling the wood, walking slowly at the valley mouth beside the clouds. Selling firewood and selling wine, laughing wildly to express my love. The autumn sky is high in the sky, facing the moon, and I sleep on the pine roots until the dawn."
Xiao Tao took a closer look and saw a woodcutter collecting firewood walking out of the forest.
Xiao Tao happily stepped forward and saluted: "Old man, may I ask..."
I don’t know if the woodcutter was deliberately rude, but in short, when Xiao Tao, who had transformed into a human form, came up to greet him politely, the woodcutter didn’t even look askance at him. He still picked up a load of firewood and walked his own way.
.In his mouth, he is still singing his folk songs.
"I climbed the cliffs and crossed the ridges in the old forest, and cut the dead vines with an ax. I harvested them into a load, and when I went to the market, I could easily get three liters of rice. There was no competition among the seeds, and the current price was average."
"Huh? Are you deaf?"
Xiao Tao continued to step forward and salute. This time, in order to make it easier for the woodcutter to see him, he chose a position in front of the woodcutter: "Old man, could you please inquire..."
"Whoosh!"
The woodcutter has disappeared!
Xiao Tao stood there dumbly.
After a while, the woodcutter carrying a load of firewood appeared again forty or fifty meters away, still humming the folk song he had not finished singing with a calm expression:
"I don't know how to make clever calculations, and I don't have honor or disgrace. I am indifferent and extend my life. When we meet, I am either an immortal or a Taoist. I sit quietly and talk about "Huang Ting"."
After singing a folk song, the woodcutter finally stopped. He placed a pile of firewood under the tree, took out the wine bottle, and started drinking.
After all, he studied at Zhutian Academy. Xiao Tao could tell that this was a song called "Man Ting Fang".
Is there a second woodcutter in Lingtai Fangcun Mountain who can sing this song "Man Ting Fang"?
Xiao Tao walked over with a smile, bowed his head and saluted for the third time: "Old man, was it "Man Ting Fang" you just sang?"
The woodcutter suddenly became interested and said with a smile: "Yes, my little brother also knows music and phrases?"
"I can't tell you the verses, but I heard you sing quite nicely, old man. Well, let me ask. You just sang 'When we meet, we are not immortals, we are Taoists.' So, old man, are you an immortal or a Taoist?"
The woodcutter's face darkened slightly, and his eyebrows were condensed. But soon, he opened his eyebrows and smiled. While drinking wine, he waved his hands: "It's just a folk song. Little brother, please don't take it seriously. Don't take it seriously."
Xiaotao laughed, the woodcutter was probably still pretending.
"Old man, I'm so happy to see you drinking. Can you please take a sip too?"
The woodcutter handed the wine gourd over grandly: "Okay, please drink."
The moment Xiao Tao took the wine bottle, he noticed a clue that was also of great value.
That is, the woodcutter uncle who goes up the mountain every day to chop wood and firewood in exchange for wine money has extremely well-maintained hands, not to mention calluses.
A woodcutter who has been chopping firewood all year round has no scars on his hands and his skin is so well maintained...
Xiao Tao held up the wine gourd and stared at the woodcutter with squinted eyes, thinking: "There is only one truth!"
"Huh?"
"Old man, why is there no wine in the wine gourd?"
The woodcutter was also stunned. He took the wine gourd, raised it in the air and poured it down. The sweet wine gurgled into the woodcutter's mouth.
The woodcutter wiped his mouth with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Little brother, you are naughty. I have an inexhaustible supply of wine in my wine gourd."
Xiao Tao took the wine gourd and wanted to drink it, but just like before, if it was him who drank it, there would be nothing in the wine gourd.
"Damn it!"
"Bang!"
Xiao Tao couldn't bear it anymore and smashed the wine gourd to the ground.
The woodcutter wasn't angry either, he just leaned against the roots of the big tree quietly and closed his eyes to meditate.
"Old man, do you... still want to play with me?"
The woodcutter said calmly: "Little brother, where do you start talking about this?"
Xiao Tao didn't want to waste time anymore and said directly: "Back then, you were here to guide the stone monkey. Nearly a hundred years have passed, and Grandpa Woodcutter, you still haven't continued to grow older. Don't you think this is also the case?"
Where we meet is either an immortal or a Taoist?"
Unexpectedly, the woodcutter smiled: "Oh, you may be talking about my grandfather."
