1390 The outbreak of the rock-eating yellow monkey)
"Wujiji--" A punch was taken on the face, and the demon monkey immediately howled and retreated. Ruotao shook his wrist: "This guy's head is so hard, and it actually made my arms numb."
"The rock-eating yellow monkey likes to eat hard ores underground, and has also derived a 'petrochemical' function to increase its defense." Guan Heng said at this time: "Be careful."
"I'm not afraid, I can't hit my fist, and there's this one." Ruotao shook the thunder-swalking blade in his hand in a fierce manner. The demon monkey who suffered a loss was so scared that he "tengteng" took a few steps back. This guy bullied the weak and was afraid of the strong, so he turned around and wanted to run away.
"Hmph, do you want to leave? Ask them if they agree or not." As soon as Guan Heng finished speaking, the ghost shadow of the sixth ghost rushed out quickly. The demon monkey saw the ghosts in the fake black realm roaring at him, almost foaming at him.
Guan Heng said coldly: "If you dare to move casually, I will let them tear you up immediately."
"Wululu--" The corpse horse saw the advantage next to him, and at this time he rushed over, lifted his hooves and was about to step on the head of the demon monkey.
"Wait." Guan Heng shouted: "Where I go, I still need this guy to live."
Hearing this, the corpse horse turned his head angrily and ran to Ruotao. Guan Heng walked up to him and kicked the demon monkey: "Stand up, lead us forward, don't play tricks." As soon as he finished speaking, the rock-eating yellow monkey stood up reluctantly and walked on the slope.
It's true that Guan Heng temporarily spared the demon monkey's life. This choice is right. This beast often ate hard stone mines, and its whole body is as strong as copper lumps. If there is any stone blocking the way, the demon monkey will immediately shatter as soon as it hits the head.
"Haha, it's good to have such a monkey who is opening the way." Hearing Ruotao muttered quietly, the corpse horse sniffled unconvincedly, which means that our hooves can still kick the gravel stones, that guy is nothing great.
"Stop." Guan Heng suddenly bounced his finger, and the big ghost patted the demon monkey's head in the air. It stopped moving forward with nervousness. "There is a stone tablet here, and I don't know what is written on it." Guan Heng touched the stone tablet and sighed: "It's really inconvenient to not know the words."
"Jijiji..." At this moment, the demon monkey seemed to understand Guan Heng's words, and came over with a flattering face, then pointed to a fork in the side.
"Young Master, there seems to be a cave over there." Ruotao said: "This rock-eating yellow monkey probably wants to guide us over."
"Oh." Guan Heng glanced at the demon monkey, trying to see if the other party was tricky and wanted to lead himself into a trap. The demon monkey seemed obedient and volunteered to walk in front. Ruotao glanced at Guan Heng, and the two immediately followed closely, with the corpse horse moving forward next to him.
"This is...skeleton?!"
Ruotao looked down and found that it was not so much a cave, but rather a shallow stone nest. The bones were leaning against here, with some black bamboo slips scattered around them.
"Huh?!" Ruotao picked up something beside the bone and said in surprise: "This is a waist sign specially used by the royal guards of the Tianwu Kingdom. It turns out that this person is my fellow countryman."
"So he is also a survivor of the Tianwu Kingdom. He died here for some reason." As soon as Guan Heng finished saying this, the demon monkey picked up a handful of black bamboo slips with his front paws and handed them to him as if he was pleased.
"Ruotao, the content on the bamboo slip seems to be... about the rock wall... come and take a look." Guan Heng said, stuffing the thing to the other party.
Ruotao took it and took a closer look, then said in surprise: "It's great. The content engraved on the bamboo slips is about here. I'll translate it for you."
The owner of this skeleton, named Kuang Xiu, was a very famous scholar in the Tianwu Kingdom back then. He was famous for his translation of various ancient characters. When an inexplicable plague broke out in the Tianwu Kingdom and was expelled to the desert by other ancient countries, Kuang Xiu happened to study the origin of the underground palace here, and he ended up separated from his own tribe.
However, Kuang Xiu has always been at ease with the flow, and only likes to study and do not care about other things. He raised a monster monkey to let the other party find food and water for him, so he lived here.
This residence lasted for decades. Kuang Xiu went from his original prime to his old age and became a white old man. However, he also studied the origin of the ruins of the underground palace.
This place, originally called "Changli Ancient Kingdom", is a place with a mysterious origin and a long history. Later, it gradually disappeared with the changes of time.
The purpose of Kuang Xiu staying here was mainly to study the texts and other things of the ancient Changli Kingdom. The bamboo slips around the bones were the contents of his life's energy to translate the Changli language into the texts of Tianwu Kingdom.
The underground palace of the ancient Changli Kingdom is actively vast. If you are not familiar with the road, you will easily get lost in it. Kuang Xiu relied on the rock-eating yellow monkey he raised to explore the way and destroy the deadly mechanisms along the way. It took him ten years to explore most of the areas clearly and carve them on bamboo slips.
But when he was about to explore the last area of the underground palace, Kuang Xiu, who was in his twilight years, suffered a serious illness and was no longer able to do anything. This scholar who had been lonely and obsessed with the study of the ancient city passed away in obscurity.
"This is the content on the bamboo slip..." Ruotao said at this moment: "My fellow villager, Grandpa Kuang Xiu, is really amazing. He has spent his whole life here for research and knowledge." "Maybe Mr. Kuang Xiu's lifelong efforts and efforts are for us who appeared in the underground palace at this time."
After weighing the things in his hand, Guan Heng continued to speak, "With these bamboo slips that carve the paths of the underground palace, our next actions will be unobstructed. Thanks to him."
"By the way, I have to thank you too." Guan Heng touched the head of the demon monkey beside him: "You are the monkey raised by Mr. Kuang, right? Is it hard enough to live alone here for so many years. If you want to leave, we will bring you with you when we leave."
"Jijijiji?!"
Hearing this, the Rock-Devouring Yellow Monkey was extremely excited. The reason why it stayed in the underground palace was because it was a playful person who touched a certain mechanism, causing a thousand kilograms of rock to roll out and blocked its way out. So it was trapped for so many years. If it weren't for being able to eat stones to satisfy one's hunger, it would have been starved to death.
Now that he heard Guan Hengken take it away, the demon monkey was so beautiful that his nose was so funny that he kept making somersaults.
"Okay, don't be too happy too early. We are not planning to leave yet." Guan Heng tapped the other party's forehead with his finger: "Hey, monkey, we are looking for something called Soul-Stationing Pearl. Have you seen it? Do you know where it is?"
"Oh, young master, why do you ask it?" Ruotao said with his shoulders beside him, "It's just a thief. How much can it know? Instead of wasting time with the monkey, we might as well go and find it ourselves."
