Li Bai took two long breaths and said, "It's okay, but in order to block this fall, all my energy has been exhausted!"
At this time, Sima Heng had already ran over. When he saw that Li Bai and the two were fine, he was relieved.
But at the same time, the Monkey King also rushed over, and its long tail whirred towards Li Bai and Zi Yan.
Seeing this, Sima Heng knew that Li Bai and the others could not resist this sweep, so he immediately rushed over, picked up Li Bai and the two of them jumped off the cliff. As soon as they jumped off, there was a loud "snap" behind them. It was the tail.
The sound of smashing rocks.
What a risk!
The cliff is ten feet high. If an ordinary person falls, he will be shattered to pieces. However, Sima Heng has a phoenix shield to protect him, so he only feels pain in the soles of his feet after landing, but it is not a serious problem.
At this time, the human-monkey war under the cliff was still going on, and there was chaos everywhere.
Wei Zhongkan was fighting with a monkey when he suddenly saw Sima Heng falling from the sky with Li Bai and Zi Yan in his arms. He was very surprised. He quickly left the monkey behind and ran to the three of them and said, "How is it? Is there a monkey king up there?"
"Yes, but let's take it back now." Li Bai said.
"Okay, let's talk about it when we get back." Wei Zhongkan saw the three people's embarrassed faces and felt something bad. He quickly shouted: "Everyone, get back down there. Quick!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately beat the monkeys and retreated to the barrier.
Everyone was relieved when they saw that the monkeys were no longer chasing after them. Zi Yan took out the medicine, and with the help of Li Bai and Sima Heng, he stopped the bleeding and bandaged the injured person.
After the processing was completed, Wei Zhongkan dared to ask: "Li Bai, what is on the cliff? Why do you have unparalleled heavenly skills and return without success?"
Li Bai frowned and said: "There is a stone cave on the cliff. There are more than a dozen giant monkeys guarding the cave. In the cave lives the two-tailed monkey king. This monkey king is really powerful, strong and strong, with a long tail like a whip. We are not like it for a while.
opponent!"
Wei Zhongkan was shocked when he heard this, "Even you are not its opponent? Then how can you take its blood to save people!"
"Monkeys are not as intelligent as humans, we will always find a way!"
Wei Zhongkan nodded, "Yes, we trapped it on the top of the mountain anyway, and it's not too late to think of a solution slowly."
"I think it's not us who trapped it on the peak, but it wants to stay on the peak by itself. If the monkey king wants to leave, I believe that no matter how many times we have ten times more people, we won't be able to trap it!"
"Is the Monkey King really so capable?" Wei Zhongkan wondered for a while, and then said: "But don't worry, I will go back immediately to gather the talented people in Qingyang County, and I will do my best to help you get the blood of the Monkey King!
"After saying that, he was going down the mountain.
Seeing this, Li Bai grabbed him and bowed: "Wei Zhongkan, you are truly a noble person to us. Li Bai doesn't know how to repay you for your help."
Wei Zhongkan waved his hand and said: "You are my friends, how can I repay you? I am the magistrate of Qingyang County, and I am the host on this Jiuhua Mountain. Helping you is what I should do!"
When Li Bai heard what Wei Zhongkan said, he felt even more grateful and said: "Wei Zhongkan, it is not something a friend should do to talk about repayment. Li Bai has some talent in poetry, so I would like to give my brother a poem to express his gratitude."
When Wei Zhongkan heard this, he was filled with joy and said: "Okay, I have always loved poetry. It is a great honor for me to receive a poem from Li Bai!"
Li Bai smiled slightly, looked at Jiuhua Mountain in front of him, thought for a moment, and began to recite:
(Wang Jiuhua presents Qingyang Wei Zhongkan)
Once upon a time in Jiujiang,
Looking at Jiuhua Peak in the distance.
The sky river hangs green water,
Show off nine hibiscus.
I want to wave my hand,
Who can follow me?
You are the host,
Here lies the cloud pine.
After reciting the poem, Wei Zhongkan was very happy and said, "Li Bai, this poem suits my purpose. I will definitely hang it in front of the hall to commemorate our friendship."
Just as Li Baigang was about to speak, his true energy suddenly surged in his Dantian. He hurriedly sat cross-legged on the ground and started practicing.
Wei Zhongkan didn't know why, so he wanted to ask what happened, but was stopped by Sima Heng, "Wei Zhongkan, every time Li Bai writes a poem, his martial arts will definitely improve. I think this time is no exception. He is now fully committed to practicing martial arts."
Practice, we can’t disturb you.”
Wei Zhongkan suddenly realized after hearing this. He knew that Li Bai wanted to improve his martial arts again. He was very happy and said: "Sima Heng, since Li Bai wants to practice and I don't want to disturb him, I will just take this opportunity to go down the mountain to find a capable monkey catcher."
"That's fine, but I want to guard Li Bai's practice here, so I won't go down the mountain with you. I'll do everything for you." Sima Heng cupped his hands to Wei Zhongkan.
"Okay, just leave the job of finding the person to me. Just wait here for my good news." After that, he took a few servants and went down the mountain.
Two hours later, Li Bai completed his training. The infuriating energy he had exhausted in the fight with the Monkey King had been fully recovered, and a large amount of infuriating energy had been added. He had touched the realm of the third level of infuriating energy, and was only one chance away from a breakthrough.
At this time Wei Zhongkan also came back with a group of people.
When he saw that Li Bai had completed his training, his face was flushed and his spirit was high. He was very happy and said: "Li Bai, you are so powerful. You have made a breakthrough in martial arts by writing a poem. You are really envious of others!"
"This is fate and blessing, and Li Bai is deeply grateful. By the way, have you found someone who is good at catching monkeys?"
"The capable person has not been found yet, but we have found out an important piece of news!" After saying that, Wei Zhongkan summoned a woodcutter and said to Li Bai: "This is Dashui, the woodcutter in our county. He has been cutting firewood in Jiuhua Mountain for many years.
, I have met the Monkey King many times, and the last time I met the Monkey King, I made an unexpected discovery, which may help us get the Monkey King's blood."
When Li Bai and others heard this, they were overjoyed. Li Bai said: "What discovery is so valuable?"
"Da Shui, tell them something." Wei Zhongkan said to the woodcutter Dashui.
Dashui quickly agreed and said to Li Bai: "I have been cutting firewood in Jiuhua Mountain for many years and have seen the Monkey King five times. The first four times the Monkey King appeared, thousands of monkeys screamed in unison, which was very noisy, but the last time it was all monkeys
It was so quiet that I was deeply surprised."
"What happened?" Sima Heng asked.
Dashui looked at Sima Heng, nodded and continued: "That time I was tired from chopping firewood, so I sat down to rest, and happened to meet the Monkey King descending the mountain peak. There was no monkey accompanying him when he descended the mountain peak. I saw him quietly
Sitting on the rock, he looked around, as if waiting for someone. After a while, a man about forty years old actually appeared. When the monkey king saw this man, he was so happy that he immediately went up to him and became very intimate. Later, the man led him
Follow the Monkey King to the top of the mountain."
"This man actually led the Monkey King up the mountain?" Li Bai looked surprised when he heard this.
"Yes, I saw this man leading the Monkey King away with my own eyes!"
"So, this monkey king actually has a master!"
"I don't know if the owner knows it, but the Monkey King is indeed very close to that man. By the way, I heard the man chanting a poem to the Monkey King as he walked."
"Reciting a poem? What poem?" Li Bai was extremely curious and wondered whether the Monkey King was interested in poetry. If that was the case, wouldn't he have a good chance of getting close to the Monkey King?
"Of course I, a woodcutter, don't know what the poem is, but I do remember one line in it very clearly."
"Which sentence?"
"Because I love drinking the most, I often sleep leaning on tree trunks when I'm drunk, so I have a special feeling for that line of poetry. I remember that line is: 'Don't laugh when you're lying drunk on the battlefield.'"
When Li Bai heard this, he blurted out: "Young Lord lying drunk on the battlefield, don't laugh. How many people have fought in ancient times?"
When Dashui heard this, he said excitedly: "Yes, this is the sentence, do you know it?"
Li Bai nodded and said: "This is a poem by senior Wang Han. I have read it before. Could it be that the person who is with the Monkey King is senior Wang Han?"
"I don't know about that!" Dashui Tan said, spreading his hands.
At this time, Sima Heng interjected: "It's amazing that you remember a poem!" After that, he said to Li Bai: "Li Bai, senior Wang Han is ranked 722nd in Tang Ming Pavilion. His Drunken Boxing is famous all over the world, but there is no
I’ve heard that he keeps monkeys.”
"Maybe the Monkey King was not raised by humans, but it should be true that he is related to humans." Zi Yan said suddenly.
"How can you see it?" Wei Zhongkan couldn't help asking.
"Because I think of the vines on the cliff. They should be arranged so neatly because they are man-made, and those giant monkeys must have been taught to stand in an orderly manner!"
Li Bai thought about it, nodded and said: "Yes, when the little fairy said this, I also remembered that the monkey's attack on us seems to be chaotic, but after careful consideration, it is also clear-cut and it should be taught by someone."
After hearing what they said, Sima Heng also recalled the fight with the Monkey King, and said thoughtfully: "I fought with the Monkey King for more than ten times, and I also found that it was not a blind fight, but a martial arts move.
!”
"So, there must be someone behind the Monkey King who teaches us. As long as we find this person and explain the situation to him, it shouldn't be difficult to take a drop of the Monkey King's blood and use it to save people." Li Bai analyzed.
"But where is this person now?" Wei Zhongkan's face was full of questions.
Li Bai shook his head, "I don't know either." Then he turned around and asked Dashui: "By the way, Brother Woodcutter, when did you see the man who took away the Monkey King?"
Dashui thought for a while and said: "Half a year ago."
