Black Bear was startled and took a few steps back.
Staring at the red light with his dark eyes, he noticed that there was no danger, but instead felt warm and comfortable.
The ignorant Lingzhi told Black Bear that this red light seemed to be a treasure.
Black Bear cleared the debris and found that the red light was a stone. It was just right to hold it in his arms. He roared happily and got into the tree hole to sleep.
It's not too cold this winter!
Black Bear fell into a deep sleep. Instead of consuming the fat in his body, his body gradually grew in size.
Winter passes and spring comes.
Roar——
A long roar came from the tree hole. After Black Bear woke up, he found that the entrance of the hole had become smaller.
Black Bear stood up, and his body was actually higher than the ceiling of the cave. With a little force on his arms, a rumble sounded, and the tree cave and the tree trunks that were hundreds of years old were torn apart.
"Have I become stronger?"
Black Bear's eyes were blank, his wisdom grew from a child to a teenager, and he looked down at the bear's paw as big as a millstone.
"What am I? Who am I? Where do I come from..."
The mess of questions gave Black Bear a headache. He simply didn't think about anything. He put Crimson Stone Egg in the creaking nest and ran rumble in search of food.
The figure, which was two or three stories high, was extremely conspicuous in the mountains, and quickly alarmed Monkey Clan on the mountain.
Zhizhizhi...
Monkey Clan had never seen such a big monster before, and was so frightened that he kept screaming. He didn't want to provoke it at first.
Black Bear didn't eat anything all winter. Even if he wasn't hungry, he still wanted to eat instinctively. He slapped a few monkeys to death with his bear paw, stuffed them into his mouth, chewed them, and swallowed them.
His blood pulsed slightly, the long-lost warmth reappeared, and his strength faintly increased.
roar!
Black Bear looks up to the sky and roars, rushes towards the Monkey Clan, and wants to eat a lot.
Zhizhizhi...
When the monkeys saw Black Bear devouring their own kind, they screamed in anger and threw the stones accumulated in the nest.
An ape is not as big as Black Bear's head, but there are tens of thousands of apes on Monkey Mountain, and there are thousands of them gathered nearby, and the dense stones will fall on Black Bear.
Some of the alien apes either awakened their bloodline or swallowed spiritual herbs, and threw hundreds of kilograms of stones.
Ouch, ouch, ouch...
Black Bear cried bitterly in pain, held his head in his hands, turned around and ran, and hit the blocking tree directly.
Crimson Stone Egg caught in the creaking nest rolled to the ground, attracting Monkey Clan's attention. The mysterious red light that flickered on and off shone on his body, giving him a feeling of warmth, comfort, and dependence.
An ape jumped to the ground, holding a stone egg and observing it carefully.
Ape Clan Leader called a few times, and the ape reluctantly jumped over and obediently offered the stone eggs.
Squeak!
Sensing the mysteriousness of the stone egg, Ape Clan Leader raised it high above his head and announced that it was the treasure and totem of the ethnic group Attendant.
Monkey Clan cheered enthusiastically, surrounded the clan leader to the top of the mountain, and placed the pebbles high.
Since then.
Ape Clan Leader would bring his tribe members to pay homage to the stone eggs every day and make sacrifices with the melons and fruits they collected.
Since they began to worship the stone eggs, the size and strength of the apes have increased day by day. At first, they could jump three to four feet, then they could tear tigers and leopards apart, and then they could uproot trees.
Monkey Mountain has completely become the domain of apes. All tigers, leopards and jackals have been eaten clean.
As the body continued to grow larger, the need for food also increased day by day. Monkey Clan began to expand to the surrounding mountains, occupying seven or eight mountain tops before barely enough to eat.
Ape Clan Leader's spiritual intelligence continues to grow, and after several decades, he is no longer weaker than ordinary people.
He ordered his subordinate Monkey Clan to build a temple on top of Monkey Mountain, place the stone eggs Attendant among them, and select the strongest tribesmen to guard it.
The only thing that worries and scares the apes is that after the totem is illuminated, no matter how much they celebrate with the mother monkey, they will not be able to give birth to a baby monkey.
In order to continue the bloodline, Ape Clan Leader asked his subordinate Monkey Clan to go to the distant mountains and steal the descendants of other Monkey Clan to raise them.
Spring goes and autumn comes, autumn goes and spring comes.
Year after year passed in a blink of an eye, and it has been more than a hundred years since Monkey Mountain obtained the stone eggs.
This day.
Monkey Clan sacrifice.
The patriarch is already very old. He has white eyebrows and a beard three or four feet long. He is wearing a Daoist robe that he doesn't know where he came from. He stands like an old grandfather with a height of two feet and a lot of muscles.
Zhizhi!
It is said that birds have their own voices and animals have their own voices. To human ears, these two sounds are no different from other sounds.
The apes guarding the temple heard the clan leader's order.
"Open the festival!"
The ape on duty immediately pushed open the four doors of the temple, leaving only four stone pillars and the roof, ensuring that the totem could shine in all directions and let all the tribesmen outside bathe in the divine light.
From all directions on the top of the mountain, there are densely packed monkeys kneeling and worshiping. I roughly counted 40,000 to 50,000 monkeys.
Some are old and some are young, some are big and some are small.
The same thing is that the ape's pupils are red, and there is a tuft of red hair between the eyebrows.
The patriarch said, "Present a sacrifice!"
First, there were apes and monkeys holding strange flowers and fruits, tigers, leopards and jackals, respectfully piled around the pebbles.
"Bathe in divine grace!"
After the patriarch finished speaking, he sat cross-legged on the top of the mountain. The other apes also acted in the same way, and they were silent like an old monk in meditation.
According to normal times, the sacrifice will end after bathing in the divine grace until the moon reaches the zenith.
An accident occurred today. Attendant The stone pebbles on the high platform suddenly buzzed and vibrated, and no longer emitted divine light.
Zhizhizhi...
Monkey Clan There was a commotion, and the clan leader waved to stop it. He walked over to check and found that there were cracks on the surface of the stone eggs, like eggs about to hatch.
"Is my clan's totem about to be born?"
Before the clan leader could think about it, the stone egg burst apart, and a foot-long ape jumped out from it.
The ape swelled in the wind and became three or four feet long. Standing on the stone platform, it was just a head taller than Ape Clan Leader.
The patriarch came to his senses and knelt on the ground. "Greetings to my god!"
When Monkey Clan outside saw this scene, they also felt that the ape was transformed into a totem, and imitated the clan leader and kowtowed three times and bowed nine times.
The intelligence of apes is not weaker than that of humans, but they have never had any memory. Seeing Monkey Clan kneel down and worship, I just find it very interesting and scratch my head happily.
"Get up, get up, who are you? Who am I?"
Ape Clan Leader said quickly, "You are the Monkey God, the god we wait for Attendant!"
"Monkey God?"
The ape scratched his ears and said, "This name is not pleasant. If you don't call me Monkey King, I will be the king of the Monkey Clan from now on, and you will all be my subordinates!"
When the old monkey heard this, he kowtowed again excitedly.
"Meet Monkey King."
"Meet Monkey King..."
The cheers shook the sky.
Since then, Monkey Mountain forty-eight thousand apes have respected Monkey King.
Monkey King led his apes and traversed the nearby mountains, chasing tigers one day and wolves the next. They were so free and happy.
This day.
The back mountain has steep cliffs.
Monkey King was swinging around with the vines, playing as usual, but he never thought that one of them was bitten by a strange rat, and it broke completely after a slight flick.
The power was used up, and no other vines could be grasped on the left and right. Monkey King screamed in fright.
The apes that were playing with Monkey King all had eyes that were about to burst. They threw themselves at him and fell off the cliff.
The cliff is tens of feet high. If an ordinary creature falls down, it will be shattered into pieces.
After being illuminated by the mysterious divine light, the apes were all made of copper and iron. When they fell to the ground, they only felt pain in their bones. They rolled and stood up and looked at Monkey King.
Zhizhizhi——
With screams and screams, Monkey King fell to the ground, his body was broken into several pieces, and his internal organs were leaked out.
The apes all had eyes weeping blood, and they knelt in front of Monkey King's corpse, not knowing what to do.
When he was in grief, he saw the broken body of Monkey King, slowly squirming like a living thing, and it was spliced together in a blink of an eye, even the blood spilled on the ground flowed back.
Monkey King opened his closed eyes, blinked, jumped up, and looked at his complete body.
He put his hands on his hips and let out a triumphant laugh.
Seeing this scene, the surrounding apes knelt on the ground and kowtowed, feeling guilty for not taking good care of Monkey King, and feeling that Monkey King was indeed the reincarnation of the totem.
Monkey King became interested in his body after experiencing this incident.
He took a sharp stone knife and cut off his arms, legs and feet, and they recovered on their own in the blink of an eye.
He also ordered five strong apes to pull their heads and hands and feet, and split them into six pieces with a strong force, and let them run away with their hands, feet and heads.
The ape ran tens of feet away, only to see that the head, hands and feet turned into a mysterious red light, unable to be touched or fished out. It merged into the remaining body of Monkey King, and then grew and recovered on its own.
"It's fun! It's fun!"
Monkey King has long been tired of playing jackals, tigers and leopards, and just finds this suicide game very interesting.
So he mobilized the 48,000 apes under his command and tried every means to kill Monkey King. He could recover quickly no matter how he died, whether it was flooded by fire or struck by wind and lightning.
He jumped thousands of feet and was smashed into pulp, and was pounded into powder with a stone pestle. His resurrection speed was not slow at all.
Several years passed.
Monkey King tried all the ways the ape could think of to kill it, but none of them could really kill it.
To the east of Monkey Mountain's influence, there is a strange pool thousands of miles away. Any creature that enters it will be frozen into ice and will never die again.
Monkey King went in and it was indeed frozen into ice, but with his eyes blinking, he was still alive. He floated the ice cube to the shore with a little force, and it melted after being exposed to the sun for more than ten days.
There is a volcano in the south of the mountain that billows with black smoke all year round and erupts every ten years or so.
Monkey King jumped into the volcanic pit and took a bath in the magma. His body was completely turned into fly ash, but the red light shone and returned to its original state.
He died hundreds of times in a row before crawling out of the volcano pit.
Monkey King stood on the top of the mountain, with his hands on his hips and said proudly.
"I am immortal Indestructible Body. Even if the sky collapses and the earth falls, it will still be nothing!"
The group of monkeys shouted, "The king is mighty."
After playing suicide for more than ten years, I have tried every conceivable method. It is very boring to do it again. Monkey King gradually stopped thinking about committing suicide and resumed the game of chasing tigers and wolves all day long.
Be happy and happy, time passes very quickly.
In the blink of an eye.
Another hundred years have passed.
This day.
Monkey King woke up from the temple, ate a few bananas, and thought that the fat tiger ran very fast yesterday, so today he must be blocked and captured to have a barbecue for dinner.
"Your Majesty, it's not good."
An ape rolled in and crawled in, saying, "The old patriarch is dying!"
Monkey King said confusedly, "What's wrong?"
The ape explained, "The old man's longevity is about to end and he is about to die!"
"Death?"
Monkey King frowned, and without waiting for the ape to lead the way, he jumped to the lair where the old patriarch lived.
The entire Monkey Clan lives in the lair, and only Monkey King is qualified to live in the temple. This is to express the worship of Monkey King.
In the lair.
The old patriarch had lost most of his hair and was lying dying.
More than a dozen apes were surrounding, fanning banana fans, feeding dew drops, and holding melons and fruits to barbecue. They all looked sad and hoped that the old patriarch could survive.
When the old patriarch saw Monkey King coming, he stood up and wanted to bow.
Monkey King asked, "Is there any way to cure it?"
The old patriarch said, "I was originally a wild monkey in the mountains. I was bathed in the divine light of the King. I have lived for more than two hundred years and have no regrets!"
"I don't want you to die."
Monkey King had tears in his eyes. He still clearly remembered that the old patriarch was the first living being he saw after he was born. No matter what he wanted to do, the old patriarch would support him.
Later, he was taught by the old patriarch. He seemed to be a superior and subordinate, but in fact he was like a teacher and a father.
The old patriarch said, "The reincarnation of life and old age is a destiny. This is a destiny. Your Majesty, you don't have to force it."
Monkey King asked, "Is there no way to prolong life in this world?"
"Of course."
The old patriarch said, "I stole a lot of books in the towns outside the mountains. One of them records that there are methods of cultivating immortals and cultivating immortals, and there are also Incense Divinity techniques, which can extend your life!"
Monkey King said, "I want to learn."
The old patriarch shook his head and said, "If I could learn, how could I come back disappointed? It's hard to find the magic trail. Instead of chasing after it and not finding it, it would be better to be free and at ease in the mountains..."
The voices became quieter and quieter, until they were completely breathless.
Monkey King Looking at the corpse of the old patriarch, he was filled with grief and some fear. For the first time, he had the fear of death and separation.
At this time.
Many apes who had received the news gathered together. Among them were many apes who were the same generation as the old patriarch, all of them dragging their long beards and eyebrows and wailing sadly.
Monkey King Looking around at the group of monkeys, he knew that in the days to come, people from his tribe would continue to die.
"Since you respect me as your king and worship me as your god, you can't let you suffer from birth, old age, sickness and death. Tomorrow the king will go down the mountain to find immortals and ask questions to find the way to immortality for you!"
"I have an immortal body. Even if I can walk through mountains of swords and seas of fire, I will definitely find the fairy mountain!"
Monkey King When he was talking, he saw the old patriarch who had died at the end of his life. His body glowed with mysterious divine light, shrinking continuously and finally turning into a stone monkey about one foot in size.
The stone monkey is lifelike, just like the old clan leader before he was alive, with vivid red pupils.
If it weren't for the cold stone, I would have thought it had come alive.
"This is it?"
Monkey King looked puzzled and walked around the stone monkey a few times, vaguely guessing in his mind.
"I flew out of the stone egg. Could it be that the old patriarch would be like me?"
Thinking of this, Monkey King looked happy, brought the stone monkey to the temple, and told the monkeys to Attendant day and night, and the same would be true for those who have fossils after death in the future.
The next day.
Monkey King got up early in the morning and said goodbye to the Monkey Clan.
One of the old monkeys asked, "Where does the king plan to go to find immortals?"
"First go to the villages and towns at the foot of the mountain to inquire, and get the legend of the immortal, and then verify the authenticity. Even if it takes hundreds of years, you must become a disciple of the immortal and learn the method of immortality!"
After Monkey King said that, he found a high place and jumped down. He fell to pieces and recovered instantly.
All the way to the west, I ate wild fruits when I was hungry and drank from the streams when I was thirsty.
When encountering ferocious beasts such as jackals, tigers and leopards, Monkey King is not afraid even if there are no apes or monkeys around to protect them. If they can beat them, they will have a full meal, but if they cannot beat them, they will just die.
A few months later.
Monkey King saw the town in the distance, scratched his head and ears happily, quickened his pace and came to the city gate, and raised his hands to the soldiers on duty.
"Brother, do you know where the immortals are?"
