Chapter 2 Spirit Monkey

"Master! That two-colored spirit monkey is so amazing. This is the first time I have seen a pure white little monkey!"

I excitedly pointed to the branches in the distance and shouted, but when the master looked up, he could no longer see it.

"Are you sure it's a white monkey?"

The master is a little unbelievable.

"Of course, sure, the monkey is snow-white, petite, cute, and full of spirituality. Why is there no such white spirit monkey on land? Master, are you wondering?"

I chuckled.

"In ancient times, there are four categories of spiritual monkeys in the world. The first category is the Lingming Stone Monkey. It is versatile, knows the time, knows the right place, and changes stars to fight. The magical power of this spiritual monkey is born from heaven and earth. It can be said that its magical power is vast, but it is a legend after all, but it is extremely difficult to encounter in reality. The second category is the red-butt horse monkey, knows yin and yang, knows human affairs, is good at entering and leaving, avoids death and prolongs life."

When the master said this, he paused and continued: "The related red-butt horse monkey, also known as Huai River Wuzhiqi, is good at changing, is powerful in the nine dragons, and is good at controlling water. Even the water god Gonggong dares not say that he is slightly better than him in water control. The third category is the sage monkey, who uses the sun and the moon, shrinks thousands of mountains, distinguishes good fortune and fault, and moji, and the fourth category is the six-eared macaque. He is good at listening to the sound, can observe the principles, know the front and back, and everything is clear. These major categories of monkeys are all the ancient legends. It is difficult to say a white monkey."

"Why?"

I asked in surprise.

"Because Master, I have never seen the specific appearance of those monkeys, so how can I know?"

The master gave me a blank look and continued to move forward.

After walking through a huge forest for a long time, we finally saw the real scenery on the island. But just after we walked out of the forest, we all stopped and saw a huge gully under our feet, winding for dozens of miles away. However, after passing this gully, it seemed that there was a flatter place in front of us.

"Be careful, Xiaojiu, take good care of Lingzhu girl."

The master said with concern and led the way in front, cutting open the weeds that were more than one person tall, and we walked down the dirt slope with difficulty. When we were outside just now, the land was clearly neat with the sea surface, but after only passing through a forest, we found that the land where we were was so high, and there were more low-lying lands here, so why didn’t the sea water pour in?

It's really incredible!

After walking for more than a day, we finally walked through the huge ravines. In front of us was a world of weeds and bushes. We didn’t know where we were going. Maybe we were just looking for something to eat, or maybe we hope to encounter some miracles, such as the miracles that live on the island.

Of course, I think these miracles are difficult to happen, because it is almost dark and there is no edible thing to eat, let alone wild fruits, there is not even the weeds I know that I can eat. I really don’t know how those little white monkeys survive here.

After crossing two high mountains, there was a low forest in front of it. It seemed that there was a neat open space not far ahead. It was said that it was neat, but I suspected that it was artificially repaired. Thinking of this, we were full of energy and quickly walked through the forest.

Under the reflection of the sunset, I finally saw a simple village house in a valley ahead. I rubbed my eyes in disbelief. After I confirmed it again and again, I immediately shouted in surprise: "There is such a miracle here!"

"I didn't expect that there were people living on this island. Old sir, we are saved, haha!"

Alang laughed excitedly.

Lingzhu grabbed my hand inexplicably, and I turned my head to look, but saw Lingzhu smile.

A long-lost sense of happiness suddenly came, coupled with the joy of living in a desperate situation, God is really good to me, Chen Xiaojiu, it is worthwhile to this life...

This village is not big, but it is scattered and there are hundreds of families living there. There are dozens of households in front of it, like a small street. Other retail investors are scattered in various places, and there are also many cultivated farmland around it. It can be said that it is not easy for people here to survive until now by relying on the mountains and water.

"I just don't know if people here can communicate in Mandarin? Alang, go up and try it. If they can understand our words, just call us."

The master stroked his beard and told him: "In order to avoid being too reckless and offend his purity."

"Well, I know it in my heart."

Alang nodded and turned around and walked into the small village.

After a long time, Alang walked to the entrance of the village alone and waved to us slowly. I grinned and said, "I really took this guy right with me. If it weren't for him, we would be in a little trouble!"

"Let's go."

The master waved his hand, and I immediately walked forward with Lingzhu. At this moment, Alang's face was not very good-looking. The master asked in surprise: "What's wrong with you? Why do you look like eggplant caused by frost?"

"Old sir, you can communicate with them, and many of them can speak official language, but... they refuse to help us, and..."

“And what?”

The master asked displeasedly when he heard Ah Lang's words.

"And the person named us asked us to go to a certain family to ask for food, saying that the family would help us. I really don't understand what they think. There are such rules. Do fishing boats often pass by here?"

Alang grabbed the back of his head, looking puzzled.

"Let's go and ask again. Tell me who can speak official language, I'll ask him!"

As soon as the master called us, we all walked into the village. At this time, people stood at the gates of the courtyards of each household, looking at us with a cold face. No one said a word. The master looked at them, and Alang immediately pointed at an old man in his sixties and said, "He said he had fished near the land area, so he knew some of our land's official words."

"Why don't you help us?"

The master blew his beard and asked angrily.

I was stunned. Is Master asking for help or collect debts? Ask people like this, it would be strange if someone was willing to help us. I would have known that I would have gone. Looking at the surprise they showed when facing Master, my face turned red and my heart was twisted in an instant. I really don’t know what will happen next moment. If they think Master is unpleasant and we all drive them out, it would be miserable.

"This brother, it's not that we are unwilling to help you, but that there are good things in the Ezi family today. All of us villagers are going to congratulate him. If any family takes you in, it will inevitably embarrass the Ezi family. Everyone here has good face. In fact, if you go to the Ezi family, you will definitely get good help."

The old man was speaking awkwardly, and he could understand it. Although it was very slow, every word was pronounced accurately.

"Oh, so that's it. It's not that you don't want to help us, but that you recommend us to the Ezi family and let the Ezi family show off their best. Is that right?"

The master let out a long sigh, stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"Yes, it's getting late now. It's dark later, and the villagers in our village will go to Erzi's house to congratulate you. Mr., if you don't dislike it, you can come to my house to rest first. For many years, people from Central Plains have not visited such a distant island. Let me do my best to be a landlord and offer you a cup of tea to quench your thirst, haha!"

The old man said, and invited us into the house with a smile.

"Hahaha! That's so good!"

The master immediately followed the old man into the simple courtyard, and Lingzhu, and Alang, I, were even more polite and followed me in.

I had a lot of tea and finally relieved my hunger and thirst. I had not eaten much on the boat for three days and three nights, and I had all the food fed fish. Now I was so hungry that my eyes were shining with stars. After the tea was full, everyone sat down and the master and the old man started talking.

"Zhang Xi, the Tianshi of Longhu Mountain, traveled here with her disciples and came to disturb her. I wonder what you call her?"

The master held his fist and bowed.

"It turns out that he is a Taoist immortal. The little old man's surname is You. He is ranked third at home. He is known as the third at You. He has met the old man!"

As You Lao San said, he also stood up and bowed to the master, and then asked again: "Mr. I am so good at practicing. I can still run so far at such an old age. I am here, haha!"

"Far? Why did Brother You speak like this? We only have three or four days left the coastal area, so we should not walk much far away on the sea. At most, it is only a few hundred miles. How can we say it is far?"

"Hahaha! The old man was joking. Everyone here calls the people on your side the Central Plains people, so we don't know the name of the coastal area. However, as far as I know, if we want to go to your Central Plains, we have to travel for at least a year, and even if the boat is small, it takes two or three years to get what we want. Therefore, few people here have been to the Central Plains. Only when I was young, I occasionally visited the Central Plains area, so I learned some official language and the method of farming sowing. Now, the villagers here are barely able to be self-sufficient."

You Laosan said plainly.

"What? Two or three years?!"

Alang jumped up in shock, and he couldn't seem to believe everything his ears heard.

"Yes, we have only been walking for a few days. Even if the tornado we encountered on the way... can the tornado take us to the sea thousands of miles away? How is this possible?"

I analyzed it in surprise, and like Alang, I couldn't believe it.

"What's the name of this island?"

The master interrupted me and asked.

"Well, we call this island Qiongqi Island. In the words of ancestors, there was an ancient beast named Qiongqi. After that, the Qiongqi beast left somehow. Later, the ancestors encountered a storm when they were fishing. Perhaps like your experience, they were swept here. The waterway was far away, and the ancestors took root here until now."
