Chapter 40 Once upon a time there was a mountain, and in the mountain there was a temple, and in the
The old white ape turned out to be the same white ape that once taught Ah Qing the Yue Nv Sword. This was indeed something Ding Zheng never expected.
What Ding Zheng didn't expect was that this old white ape seemed to exist at the same time as Sun Wukong!
But after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed true.
Ah Qing was born in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, at the same time as Xi Shi.
Therefore, if we really want to talk about it, this old white ape is even older than Sun Wukong.
Ding Zheng was very interested in this, after all, it had been traveling through all realms and had borrowed the name of Sun Wukong several times.
Now I finally found someone who may have seen Sun Wukong with my own eyes.
Of course it is impossible to let it go.
Moreover, it also wants to know what the world was like before Sun Wukong appeared.
And what has become of this world after Sun Wukong failed.
But Old White Ape obviously doesn't want to talk about these things.
No matter what Ding Zheng asked, it was indifferent.
Therefore, Ding Zheng could only ask other questions.
After all, in addition to Sun Wukong, it also wants to know why the old white ape tolerates the provocation of the old Black Mountain demon when he is so powerful?
The other party's threats were so fair and aboveboard.
Why did you let the other person go so easily?
"This old Black Mountain demon is in vain for the management of the city. If I kill it here, it will be equivalent to declaring war on the underworld. When the heaven opens, someone from the underworld will complain, which will have a great impact on my becoming an immortal."
The old white ape said.
Talk about other things besides Sun Wukong.
It was like before, saying something and not seeming to care at all.
"The Old Demon of Black Mountain is a piece of black stone from the City of Wanshi, which has been transformed into spirit. It has been invaded by the resentment of people who died in vain for thousands of years. It is very powerful. The difficulty of turning dead things like mountain rocks into spirit is several times greater than ours."
"So, once you become a spirit, you will definitely become a strong person."
"With their talents, it doesn't have to be too simple to create a self-cultivation method. What I just said is just a guess made by me after communicating with the old demon from Black Mountain and adding my own experience.
I can’t tell the true situation.”
"But what is certain is that the old demon of Black Mountain is determined to win this mountain. With his talent, understanding, and the power of his body, it won't take long for him to surpass me in cultivation."
"Even if I am stronger than it now, I can still kill its clone in the mortal world."
"But after all, I can't go to the underworld to kill it. Firstly, its official position in the underworld is a great threat to me. Secondly, I can't conclude that I can really kill the old Black Mountain demon in the underworld."
"After all, the environment in the underworld is completely different from that in the mortal world. I'm afraid I won't be able to exert even one-tenth of my cultivation!"
"And as time passes, the old Black Mountain demon will become stronger and stronger. When the time comes, the mountain will eventually be given to it. Naturally, there will be no need to have a life-and-death fight with it and have to go to the underworld to take risks."
"After all, the purpose of the old Black Mountain demon is just to snatch this mountain peak and the surrounding land from my hands, not to kill me."
The old white ape said patiently. In addition to envy, there was also helplessness in his tone.
There was even a flash of loneliness in his eyes.
As an extremely ordinary ape, it is based on its understanding and talent. It has lived for more than a thousand years and has possessed this kind of strength.
That's why I didn't think highly of Ding Zheng, a guy who relied entirely on blood.
But the talent and understanding of the old demon from Black Mountain is not lower than it at all. On the contrary, it has come from behind and is almost surpassing it.
Naturally, the old white ape felt a sense of sadness.
Ding Zheng looked at the old white ape's expression and couldn't help but shook his head.
Ding Zheng was still a little angry in his heart.
After all, it is undoubtedly a very stupid behavior to kill the opponent when you can, but don't do it when the opponent's strength will soon catch up with you.
But after hearing what the old white ape said, he no longer felt this way.
If it is like what the old white ape said, it can only kill the mortal clone of the old Black Mountain demon.
Then there is really no need to offend an opponent who will definitely surpass you in the future.
Ding Zheng looked at the old white ape with the vicissitudes of his eyes, and was slightly moved.
The emotions completely disappeared.
As my understanding of the old white ape gradually deepened.
At this moment, it had a completely new understanding of this old white ape.
An ordinary ape, relying solely on its own understanding and cultivation, may even live for thousands of years.
Witnessed countless great events, geniuses, wars, deaths, and rebirths.
I saw those beings who were much more powerful than me in every aspect, fell and failed because of some things.
This has been going on for thousands of years.
In the end, there was only one thought left in my mind.
That is becoming an immortal, shedding the demonic body, and gaining a status officially recognized by the three realms.
Until now, it has finally reached the top position in the mortal world and obtained the qualification to become an immortal.
In order to achieve stable immortality, try to minimize unpredictable crises.
It's so normal.
Ding Zheng could feel the old white ape's age.
That is a kind of aging in the soul, the mind, and the mind.
Although I can't say I feel the same way, I do understand it.
Ding Zheng shook his head, completely forgetting what had just happened, and was not going to ask any more questions.
Although the old white ape looked very indifferent, as if he didn't care about anything, when he spoke, his face and tone were also very calm.
But who knows whether it is really so peaceful in its heart?
Ding Zheng suddenly remembered a classic line from his previous life.
Whenever you feel like criticizing someone, remember that not everyone in this world has what you have.
Although Ding Zheng is not very lucky.
He was born with inherent deficiencies and experienced many hardships. In order to survive, he played like a monkey on the street to amuse people.
But it also has systematic help and diamond protection, and the bloodline that was born with deficiencies is gradually recovering.
After his own efforts, he is now on the right track, and his own strength and the power of his subordinates are developing in an orderly manner.
In comparison, the old white ape was much unlucky.
As a person, Lao Baiyuan has always been surpassed by younger generations.
Even if he has practiced for thousands of years, he still cannot be called the strongest character.
He can be as calm as he is now, and his conscience is still intact, and he often rescues the humans and animals around him.
He can fully deserve the title of an old god.
While sighing.
Ding Zheng also made another point.
Among different individuals, cultivation is not a strong guarantee.
Just like the Black Mountain Old Demon and the Old White Ape.
Old White Ape obviously regards Old Black Mountain Demon as his junior.
But now, this younger generation can no longer be suppressed.
Many things can be more important than cultivation, and Ding Zheng is a living example.
Its age is much younger than these two, even younger than Sun Bai.
After being silent for a while, Ding Zheng suddenly thought of another doubt, so he immediately asked: "Why does the Black Mountain Old Demon insist on this mountain peak?"
The old white ape continued to answer: "In addition to the abundance of spiritual energy in this mountain peak, the more important point is that it is on top of the city of vain death. The old demon of Black Mountain directly refined this mountain, and it will travel back and forth between the underworld and the mortal world.
More convenient.”
"Moreover, it can also use this mountain to practice."
"Although the old monster from Black Mountain said that monsters are practicing killing people and making rapid progress, it does not dare to do so. After all, it cannot be sure whether the heaven will be opened. Once it is opened, as an official of the underworld, it will be punished if it knows the law and breaks the law.
Punishment.”
"Only by refining this mountain can it really practice killing people."
"So, I just need to save this mountain, and when I can't save it, I choose to retreat. In this way, I have done something good for the innocent people and monsters. I am not helping the evildoers, but I won't lose my life in vain.
.”
The old white ape said, like a businessman who is good at making careful calculations, but still has a clear conscience.
"There are also better quality peaks in other places, but because they are too far away, the refining speed will be much slower, and the surrounding peaks of average quality will not be too strong after refining, so it can only focus on
Leave it here with me."
"Is there any other saying like this?" Ding Zheng found it very strange.
The old white ape rolled his eyes at Ding Zheng.
Although the Ding Zheng in front of him is indeed not weak, he understands almost nothing, just like a newly born demon living in seclusion in the mountains and forests.
At the same time, Old White Ape did indeed become more curious about Ding Zheng's identity and life experience.
A being with such a powerful bloodline.
These past hundreds of years, especially the past one hundred years when the heavens were closed and the demons in the mortal world were dancing wildly.
How could there be no news at all?
Could it be that you really have lived in seclusion somewhere until now?
It was naturally impossible for Ding Zheng to answer the old white ape's questions.
After this conversation with the old white ape, Ding Zheng temporarily forgot about the old Black Mountain monster.
It can't even deal with the mortal avatar of the old demon from Montenegro.
Not to mention the old demon of Black Mountain’s true form in the underworld.
And now the entire City of Fusi is under the suppression of the Black Mountain Old Demon.
Those ghosts that have died in vain for thousands of years are also a huge problem, and even the ape souls may not be able to deal with them.
Of course, if he were stronger or had the chance, Ding Zheng would definitely let the arrogant and domineering old demon from Montenegro know why the flowers are so red.
But at this time, it still couldn't do it.
Therefore, Ding Zheng focused more on cultivation and completing tasks.
Although Old White Ape knew about the troubles of the Jiaolong clan, he did not know where the Jiaolong clan was now.
To complete the mission, Ding Zheng still has to find it himself.
So, Ding Zheng began to take Sun Bai out with him during his break in training.
I plan to find some monsters who are familiar with the local area, or go directly to human towns to see if I can find any clues.
As a result, just after going out a few times, he got a piece of news that was quite surprising, but if he thought about it carefully, he should have expected it.
It is on the mountain peak where the old white ape lives, more than ten miles to the south.
There is a barren mountain.
There is a temple on the mountain.
There is a beautiful ghost in the temple, whose beauty is heavenly and fragrant. She often seduces people who pass by at night and stays in the temple.
And in the process of having fun with those people, he sucked them dry and turned them into dry bones.
Rumor has it that there have been hundreds of outsiders so far.
He was left in that temple forever by the female ghost.
There is also a county on the edge of the barren mountain.
