The Monkey King: Chapter 6

When the night fell again, the stone monkey finally opened his eyes. The first thing he did was to devour a bunch of fruits that the monkeys paid tribute to, and then bandage his wounds with vines and fan leaves. .

   Taking advantage of the gap, he also got a big poop.

   Talking about the matter of defecation made his heart palpitate again. There is no toilet paper, and the only thing that can be used is leaves. And most of the leaves are too smooth to wipe no matter how you wipe them. In desperation, he can only use a leaf with fine fluff.

   As a result, naturally the chrysanthemum was left.

   The thought of using this kind of thing for a long time in the future can't help but make the stone monkey more distressed and miss the previous life.

   In the next few days, unless there is any special need, he will not leave the tree hole. While staying in the tree hole to recuperate, he starts to remotely command the monkey group to chase the tiger.

The    pursuit method is very effective. It is basically impossible to kill the tiger by smashing fruit, but he can starve the tiger to death!

  The monkeys, divided into ten groups, harassed the tiger day and night, and broadcast the tiger's movements everywhere. In this way, the tiger did not arrive, but the prey had already run away.

  Unable to bear the nuisance, the tiger had no choice but to run to the area outside Huaguo Mountain that was not covered by trees.

   As the saying goes, tigers fall on the plains and are bullied by dogs. Tigers are suitable for living in the woods. When they reach the open area, how bright the fur is on their bodies. The prey can be seen clearly from far away.

   Although it is not impossible to find food at all, starvation has become inevitable.

  How could the former king of the mountain and forest endure such grievances, he knew very well who was behind all this. So, several nights when the moon was dark and the wind was high, the tiger went back and tried to catch the thief first.

   However, the stone monkey is not a vegetarian, and he dare not take it lightly for a moment in the face of life and death. His posts were placed all over the woods, and often the tiger had already hid in the tree hole before the tiger arrived.

   What's more, he was not idle when he was recovering from the injury. If there are not many tree holes, then dig it by yourself! He instructed the monkeys and the monkeys to start digging a hiding place specially tailored for themselves at the root of the big tree with a stone knife.

   At this point, the entire forest has become his fortress.

   Of course, Baimi also has some sparse times, especially when the subordinates who perform the task are a bunch of unreliable monkeys.

  They may fall asleep while standing guard, they may run to play while performing tasks, they may forget what they ordered after urinating... In short, for these monkeys, all kinds of strange things can happen.

   For this reason, the stone monkey has been in danger several times, his nerves are in a state of extreme tension, and it is even more nightmares at night.

  It is far from civilization. The life of Fengfan sleeping in the open has greatly damaged the body and mind of the stone monkey, and the relentless pursuit of the tiger has made his spirit almost on the verge of collapse.

   From this point of view, Tiger's anti-harassment is not without achievements.

   This has turned into a protracted war of attrition, and whoever can’t hold it first will lose.

   After a month of tossing and turning, the depressed stone monkey recovered from his injuries a month later, but the tiger was so skinny that it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a sick cat from a distance.

  At this time, with the exhaustion of physical energy, the tiger had to devote more energy to the difficult hunting on the flat ground, and set foot in the woods less and less. It seems that it has intentionally ended this endless war.

   But Stone Monkey doesn't think so.

   "You still want to kill him? But he hasn't attacked for five or six days, so why bother?"

   "It has to die! I'm going to put it up and bake it!" The stone monkey roared almost frantically with a pair of thick panda eyes: "If that guy doesn't die, I won't be able to sleep for a day!"

  Canary's eyes widened, she suddenly realized that the monkey in front of her was not very revengeful.

   Hundreds of years later, when someone asked Stone Monkey who was the most memorable opponent he encountered in his life. His answer was not Tathagata Buddha, not Jade Emperor, nor Yang Jian. It's this tiger that doesn't even have a name.

   This is the longest life-and-death struggle in his life, leaving behind a psychological shadow that will never be forgotten.

  It's another month, the tiger who is hungry is even weaker, and the stone monkey in a state of madness has mastered all monkey survival skills including climbing trees and become a competent monkey king.

   The final battle has begun.

The stone monkey tied a shy banana leaf on his body, brought a solid wooden shield that he had made with great difficulty, and pinned a stone dagger, and led a group of monkeys equipped with sharpened wooden sticks towards the tiger. place to proceed.

  In a long and narrow valley, the life-and-death enemies who had been fighting for two months met again.

The moment    saw the stone monkey, the tiger was completely desperate.

   "Does it have to be like this?" it asked.

  The stone monkey did not answer, but just waved his hand to let the monkey phalanx with the long stick advance.

   This is the answer.

  The tiger grinned, all the hair on his body stood up, and roared frantically at the monkeys. The dying struggle of a beast really made the scalp numb, but it couldn't make the monkeys take a step back.

  The trust in the monkey king has overwhelmed the fear of the tiger.

   The two-month war ended in a monkey victory, and the canary will always remember the scene of the day.

  Stone Monkey went into battle in person. He grinned and roared frantically. His red eyes were bloodshot, and the blue veins on his face were exposed.

   The repression of the past few months was completely released. Like a complete beast, he smashed the dying tiger's head into meat sauce with a stone, and then put the tiger's body in and roasted it to eat.

   This is the only time in the stone monkey's life that he eats meat. He has had diarrhea for seven or eight days, and only a layer of skin is left before he can relax.

   But things are not over yet, as we all know there is a concept of "territory" in the animal world. As the "lord" of the tiger dies, there will naturally be new carnivores at the top of the food chain to take the place of the "lord".

   Another month later, the "new lord" came to report - a leopard.

   This made the stone monkey spirit, which was ready to cultivate itself, on the verge of collapse again. Although he had already had experience in dealing with tigers, the leopard, which was smaller in size and could climb trees, was obviously not as easy to deal with as tigers.

   The most desperate thing is that even if the new lord is defeated again with great effort, there will still be other carnivores to take his place.

   Fortunately, this leopard is not very interested in provoking a large and relatively united monkey group, which makes the stone monkey still have a moment of peace.

However, this kind of peace is also extremely short-lived. One night after half a month, a young monkey in the monkey group disappeared, and the stone monkey found half of it in the leopard's nest and was still stained with fragments. Meat skulls…

The nerves of the monkey group were instantly tense to an unparalleled level, and the guard net was pulled. Because they could not fully trust the unreliable monkey monkeys, Sun Shihou had to get up several times every night to check the guard, sometimes even because they could not find a guard. the monkey and replace it himself.

   But no matter how hard he tried, the monkeys would still appear missing persons every now and then.

   He began to try to fight back, but the leopard was extremely agile, and the harassment couldn't have the same effect as against the tiger - the monkeys who came to harassed were the best prey!

   Once, the leopard showed a strange smile to the stone monkey through the monkey group from a distance. The hunter's smile to the prey was like a seed of fear buried deep in the heart of the stone monkey and took root.

   Countless times, the stone monkey dreamed that his throat was bitten open in his sleep, and he was bleeding desperately. This ever-present threat of death brings the stone monkeys to the brink of collapse...

  Finally, the stone monkey, who had only been here for four months, had no choice but to turn his attention to the sea.

   "You're going to sea?" The Canary screamed in shock.

   "I am going to Xieyue Sanxingdong, Fangcun Mountain, Lingtai, Hezhou, Xiniu, to find Patriarch Bodhi to seek immortals and learn Taoism."

   "I've been to Xiniu Hezhou, but I've never heard of this ghost place."

   "I remember you said that you have encountered people called 'immortals' during your travels. As long as you find them, you will definitely know."

   "Then how do you cross this sea? Even humans can't cross this sea to get here."

   "That's because they don't have a guide. The biggest fear at sea is getting lost, and I have you!" Stone Monkey said firmly.

   "When did I promise to accompany you to sea?"

   Canary was very contemptuous of this statement, but in the end she was tied to the stone monkey's chariot, perhaps because the stone monkey would make her happy when she was idle.

   She likes the little wild flowers that the stone monkey put on her head, and likes the stone monkey saying she is the most beautiful bird in the world.

   Soon, Stone Monkey activated all the monkeys to help him prepare for the sea, which was a huge project.

  For these monkeys who are far from civilization and without any tools, it is extremely difficult to cut down trees and transport them to the seaside to build a raft, not to mention that what the stone monkeys want is not as simple as a small raft.

   Moreover, during the whole preparation process, they must always be on guard against the threat from the leopard.

   After three months of working around the clock, they finally completed the big raft with a square length of six feet. During this period, another four monkeys were unfortunately killed by the leopard.

When    parted, the whole monkey group was red-eyed.

   "Your Majesty, will you come back? We're a little scared."

   "Yes, I will come back and slaughter that leopard when I have learned the seventy-two transformations!" Stone Monkey said with promise.

   Watching the stone monkeys set foot on the raft full of rough bark, the monkeys hugged and cried.

   Although these monkeys are stupid, it is undeniable that without them, the stone monkeys would have become a meal for tigers. What is even more rare is that when they know that the stone monkey is preparing the raft to leave, they still keep their promise and obey the orders of the monkey king. To know once the stone monkeys leave, what will they use to defend against the leopard?

   They are simple, honest, and not too stupid, but they are so stupid that Stone Monkey feels a little distressed.

  The water at low tide rolled the raft and drifted towards the distant sea. The stone monkey climbed the specially reserved viewing pole in the center of the raft and shouted loudly: "You must live well, don't let the leopard eat it. Wait for me to come back!"

   "Your Majesty, you must come back!"

   At this time, the stone monkey was already in tears.

   "If you are so reluctant, why are you leaving?" Canary asked.

   Stone Monkey didn't answer, the struggles here in the past few months now live like a primitive man, and only he knows the hardships.

   The path of seeking the Way is no longer an option.
