Zhang Xiaofan came up the mountain and came to the familiar bamboo forest, but seeing the green mountains, layers upon layers, where the mountain wind passed, the bamboo sea undulated, like the waves of the sea, which was extremely spectacular, and his heart was suddenly wide.

He took a deep breath of the fresh mountain air, moved his body, and walked into the bamboo forest with a firewood knife. The place he went to now was different from when he first came three years ago. It was in the deepest part of the bamboo forest, where the bamboo was lined with trees and the bamboo was even harder.

The light mist in the early morning drifted in the forest, like a veil, and there were crystal dew beads on the green bamboo leaves on both sides of the path, which was beautiful and clear.

After walking for a while, he was in the middle of the green ocean. Most of the black bamboo here were towering, with lush branches and leaves that penetrated into the sky, leaving shadows on the ground. Zhang Xiaofan looked left and right, picked a big black bamboo, drew a picture, and raised his knife to cut it.

"Pfft", suddenly there was a muffled sound, Zhang Xiaofan only felt a pain in his forehead, but was hit by something on his forehead. He looked down and saw a pine cone rolling on the ground. There were black bamboo shoots in front and left, but there were definitely no pine cones.

He thought for a moment, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, looked around, and said loudly, "Senior sister, is that you?"

Zhang Xiaofan knew that Senior Sister had always been naughty and teasing people. Just as he was about to shout again, he suddenly felt another pain in his forehead. The pain was so great that he was thrown by a pine cone again.

Zhang Xiaofan reluctantly looked up and saw a gray-haired monkey crawling on the black bamboo tree, holding a few pine cones in his hand, his tail hanging upside down on the bamboo branch, "squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak", looking like he was gloating.

Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a while. He had never seen a monkey in the bamboo forest in the past three years, and almost all the bamboo forests on Dazhu Peak were bamboo forests, with only a pine and cypress forest in the deep valley in the shade of the mountain. It seemed that this monkey lived there, and he didn't know why he came up the mountain today.

Big Bamboo Peak is tall and steep, although it is not higher than the sky, it also goes straight into the sea of clouds, climbing up from the foot of the mountain, there is almost no way, and most of the disciples in Qingyun Sect come and go in the sky. Zhang Xiaofan's cultivation base is superficial, in addition to cutting bamboo every day, he has also heard from his senior brothers on a daily basis that the pine and cypress wild trees in the deep valley behind Big Bamboo Peak are deep and unpredictable, and there are few people. Back then, the ancestors of the Great Bamboo Peak lineage also went to the deep valley to explore with their swords, but there was only a primitive forest there, and there was nothing strange about it. There were more beasts and poisonous insects, but they never left the valley, so they have been peaceful all these years.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw the monkey raise his hand, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly moved away. Sure enough, another pine cone smashed down, and if he didn't dodge, he would suffer again.

Seeing him dodge, the grey monkey screamed twice and had an angry look on his face, as if blaming Zhang Xiaofan for not dodging.

Zhang Xiaofan made a grimace at the monkey, ignored it, and walked away, thinking that this monkey actually enjoys smashing people, which is rare, what an ignorant beast. He took two steps, and suddenly heard the wind behind his ears, and he couldn't dodge. With a "poof" sound, the back of the head was hit by a hard pine cone.

Zhang Xiaofan was furious and rushed over to shake the bamboo violently. The huge black bamboo was swayed from side to side by him, but the gray monkey only used its tail to wrap around the bamboo trunk and let him swing around without fear.

Seeing that he couldn't do anything to the monkey, Zhang Xiaofan was even more annoyed. He pulled out his firewood knife and slashed the bamboo. The monkey was not afraid, and only looked at him with interest on the bamboo.

Zhang Xiaofan's head was covered in sweat, and he finally cut seven or eight points. Seeing that success was imminent, he suddenly heard a scream from the bamboo, looked up, and saw that the gray monkey's tail swung, its body flew up, and it jumped to another black bamboo next to it, and then threw another pine cone down with a "snap".

Zhang Xiaofan was furious. Regardless of whether the monkey understood or not, he pointed at it and said loudly, "Come down if you have the guts."

The grey monkey scratched its head and tilted its head to think for a long time. It was estimated that it still did not understand what kind of seed was. It just laughed out loud and made faces at Zhang Xiaofan.

Zhang Xiaofan was half-dead from its anger, but he was helpless. This *** barely managed to complete his homework, but his head was smashed seven or eight times by the monkey, and the pain was endless.

Zhang Xiaofan was full of anger and went down the mountain hatefully, ignoring the monkey. Unexpectedly, the monkey became addicted to playing, and waited in the bamboo forest for several mornings. Once Zhang Xiaofan came to chop bamboo, he would smash him for pleasure. Looking at Zhang Xiaofan's angry look, he was very happy.

🥰 🥰 🥰

Before dinner that day, Tian Ling'er pulled Zhang Xiaofan aside and asked secretly, "Xiaofan, what's wrong with your head?"

Zhang Xiaofan had been bullied by the gray monkey for days, and his head was smashed black and blue, and he was in pain. However, he felt that being played by a monkey was very humiliating, so no one said anything. At this time, when he heard Senior Sister ask, he hesitated for a while, and finally told her.

Tian Ling'er's red lips flattened, and she couldn't help laughing. Two small dimples appeared on her face, which was really beautiful. Zhang Xiaofan seemed to be teased by her, or something else, and his face was inexplicably hot, so he lowered his head.

Tian Ling'er patted Zhang Xiaofan's shoulder carelessly and said, "Don't worry, little junior brother, these days the Heavenly Mother wants me to go into the Taiji Cave to practice more and prepare for the'Seven Veins Martial Competition 'in two years, but I didn't expect you to be bullied by a monkey. Don't worry, tomorrow I will accompany you to the mountain and teach that bad monkey a lesson."

Her tone was old-fashioned, but she had some intention of coaxing children, but Zhang Xiaofan was used to hearing it since he was a child, and he didn't care with a bitter smile.

The next morning, Tian Ling'er got up early and went up the back mountain with Zhang Xiaofan.

The cool breeze in the mountains blew slowly, and Tian Ling'er was dressed in red clothes, just like when she and Zhang Xiaofan went up the mountain to chop bamboo for the first time, jumping and walking in front. Zhang Xiaofan followed behind, looking at the beautiful girl in front, like a red cloud, gently fluttering in the mountains, and with the mountain breeze, there seemed to be a faint fragrance coming.

He was in a trance for a while, and suddenly had a feeling of how good it would be if he just walked down forever like this.

Just as he wanted to be distracted, Tian Ling'er had already gone far. She turned around and shouted loudly, "Xiaofan, why are you so slow!"

Zhang Xiaofan woke up, his face turned red, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore, so he quickly chased after it.

The two of them came to the bamboo forest, and Tian Ling'er said to Zhang Xiaofan, "Xiaofan, you go in alone first, and I will follow behind."

Zhang Xiaofan nodded and walked in with the firewood knife. After taking a few steps, he suddenly remembered to tell Tian Ling'er to be careful. He turned around and looked, but her figure was gone.

He was stunned for a while, and then he shook his head, put aside those boring thoughts, and walked towards the depths of the bamboo forest. At the destination, the forest was silent. Zhang Xiaofan looked around, but he couldn't find the gray-haired monkey. He muttered in his heart: Don't let that monkey be spiritually enlightened, and he didn't dare to come today because he found a helper.

Thinking in his heart, he looked around, but couldn't find the monkey, and in vain, he had to go to a black bamboo and make a gesture to cut it.

"Squeak squeak squeak", suddenly, a familiar scream sounded above his head.

Zhang Xiaofan immediately jumped away like a conditioned reflex, but felt a pain on the top of his head, but it was too late. He was hit by a pine cone, so it was not painful. Zhang Xiaofan looked up and saw the gray monkey hanging upside down on the bamboo branch as usual, laughing non-stop.

He jumped up, pointed at Monkey, and laughed. "Haha, you're finally here!"

He didn't make a sound, but the monkey was startled by him. He thought to himself that this person was always furious and furious when he was smashed. Why was he so happy today?

At this moment, a red shadow suddenly flashed in the bamboo forest, and Tian Ling'er stepped on the "Amber Zhu Ling", came in the air, as fast as lightning, five fingers into claws, and grabbed the monkey.

Unexpectedly, the monkey was very clever, and when he took a glance at the corner of his eye, he immediately reacted, and the tail wrapped around the bamboo branch immediately loosened, and the whole body fell. Tian Ling'er calculated the direction of its front, rear, left, right, and left to chase, but she didn't expect the gray monkey to fall, so she couldn't help but be stunned and caught empty.

Zhang Xiaofan was about to move underground, but he saw the monkey in the air with his arm lightly soothing, grasping the bamboo trunk, immediately attached it, and then stopped without hesitation, as if he knew that the red-clothed woman above was powerful, and immediately swayed and jumped, swaying from one bamboo to another and then to the next bamboo, intending to escape.

Tian Ling'er became competitive and shouted in mid-air: "Chase!" With a lead from her left hand, Amber Zhu Ling broke through the air, and Zhang Xiaofan ran underground and chased after her with big strides.

If it were in the open space, with the speed of the amber vermilion, Tian Ling'er would have caught the gray monkey in a moment, but now in the dense bamboo forest, it would be in the way. The gray monkey is very smart and never runs away in a straight line. It swings left and right in the forest, bends and turns, and flees forward. While Tian Ling'er has to pay attention to the monkey's tracks, she has to be on guard against the oncoming black bamboo that is everywhere, which is a big trouble. As for Zhang Xiaofan, she can only chase on the ground in a hurry and can't help.

The two of them ran in such a hurry, and in the screams of the gray monkey "squeaky squeaky", Zhang Xiaofan's breathing became heavier and he felt tired. He expected that he had chased a long way.

But seeing the green bamboo forest in front of him, it seemed to be endless, layer by layer. Zhang Xiaofan's mouth was dry, and suddenly saw a gray shadow flashing in front of him, and he fell straight down. He was overjoyed, and he suddenly became energetic, rushing up, and at this moment, Tian Ling'er above suddenly shouted in a hurry, "Be careful!"

In front of Zhang Xiaofan, a cliff suddenly appeared, and Zhang Xiaofan quickly retracted his feet and almost fell. He calmed down, but saw a deep valley under the cliff. There was a thick fog in the distance of the valley, so he couldn't see it clearly.

Zhang Xiaofan saw the gray monkey fall, and repeated his old trick in the air. He grabbed the branch and floated, then turned it into the power of falling and fled forward.

He was in a hurry when he suddenly heard the sound of breaking through the air. When he looked up, he saw Tian Ling'er fluttering in red clothes, coming in the air, stretched out a jade-like hand to him, and shouted, "Come up."

Zhang Xiaofan didn't think too much and reached out his hand to grab Tian Ling'er. Tian Ling'er pulled him hard and pulled him onto Zhu Ling. "Amber Zhu Ling" suddenly sank, but immediately returned to its original state.

Zhang Xiaofan had this experience for the first time and was at a loss. Tian Ling'er pulled him behind and said angrily, "Hug my waist, hurry up."

Zhang Xiaofan hugged her as she said, and Tian Ling'er couldn't wait to lead Ling to fly away. The red shadow passed by, and the two of them rushed into the deep valley, chasing after the gray monkey figure.

The wind was so cold that Zhang Xiaofan almost couldn't even open his eyes, but the "amber vermilion" under his feet seemed soft, making people feel like they were about to fall off accidentally. He was a little scared in his heart, so he couldn't help but hug Tian Ling'er tighter.

Tian Ling'er did not think of all the strange thoughts of the little boy behind her, and her heart was on the gray monkey in front of her. She was loved and praised by her parents and senior brothers on weekdays, and she was quite arrogant. Now that she couldn't catch up with a monkey, it was unacceptable.

So in the deep valley, among the shadows of the trees, but seeing the gray shadow in front, the red shadow chased after him, swaying around, chasing and running.

After chasing for half an hour, the gray monkey did not know what kind of mutant it was, but it still escaped quickly without any intention of exhaustion. But after chasing for so long, Tian Ling'er has gradually become familiar with the method of shuttling through the forest, and she is getting closer and closer.

The grey monkey fled all the way to the depths of the valley, Zhang Xiaofan looked forward from behind Tian Ling'er, and saw that the trees in front were gradually thinning, the light came in, and there was a vaguely open space, and there seemed to be the sound of water. At this time, the grey monkey's screams became more and more urgent, as if he didn't expect the two people to give up after chasing for a long time, but they didn't retreat, so they had to run forward desperately.

After a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and it was indeed an open open space, the ground was full of rubble, and there was a small blue pool in the middle, with rippling water flowing westward. The gray monkey fled here, obviously hesitating for a while, but the sound of breaking the air behind him blinked, so he had to fall to the ground and run forward. But for some reason, its pace became extremely slow, it didn't seem to be running for life, it was almost like walking. Even so, it still moved forward step by step.

Zhang Xiaofan looked at it and felt strange in his heart, but while Tian Ling'er wanted to quickly avoid the obstacle, she had to pay attention to the monkey's trail. Her whole body was highly concentrated, how could she think so much, seeing the gray monkey in front of her, she was overjoyed, and with a yell, she drove Ling straight into the open space, rushing towards the gray monkey.

Seeing that he was about to catch the monkey, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly had a "boom" sound in his mind, and his body shook twice involuntarily. A nausea feeling rose from his internal organs and went straight to his forehead, and his whole body trembled in a moment. Zhang Xiaofan was shocked and at a loss, at this moment, his chest suddenly heated, and a wave of heat spread out to protect his heart, and then offset the nausea.

Zhang Xiaofan subconsciously looked at his chest and felt that the heating was from the dark purple bead sent to him by Puzhi. At the same time, Tian Linger in front of him suddenly trembled twice, her body softened, and she actually fell.

The two of them were in mid-air. Once Tian Ling'er lost control, Amber Zhu Ling immediately stopped, and the two immediately fell from mid-air.

Zhang Xiaofan rolled on the ground a few times, and it was mostly painful, but he couldn't care so much. Before he stood up, he quickly shouted, "Senior Sister, Senior Sister, are you alright?"

Tian Ling'er fell in front of her, motionless. Her face was pale and her forehead was full of cold sweat. She had already fainted.

Zhang Xiaofan was shocked, guessing that it was probably related to the strange feeling just now. At the moment, he endured the pain, climbed up and ran to Tian Ling'er's side, pushed her and called several times, but Tian Ling'er still did not respond.

Zhang Xiaofan looked around again and saw that with the pool of clear water as the center, there was no grass growing within three meters, but beyond three meters, there were lush trees. He gritted his teeth and tried to hold back the nausea in his heart from time to time, carried Tian Ling'er on his back, and at the same time picked up the amber Zhu Ling that was thrown aside and walked out.

This distance of two or ten meters was not worth mentioning in normal times, but under the constant invasion of the disgusting feeling, it was extremely difficult to walk. It was not easy to walk out of three meters and came to a big pine tree, and the disgusting feeling immediately disappeared without a trace.

Zhang Xiaofan put down Tian Ling'er, gasped for breath, and looked at the pool. He saw the gray monkey staying there and no longer moving. Its face was full of pain, and it looked here with a great desire for help in its eyes.

Zhang Xiaofan frowned. After all, he couldn't bear it, so he stood up and walked inside again. After walking a few steps, the nausea reappeared, and at the same time, the heating in his chest also reappeared, resisting the discomfort.

Zhang Xiaofan slowly walked to Monkey's side, his head was already sweating profusely. When the grey monkey saw him come to his side, it was motionless, and it seemed that he could not breathe. Zhang Xiaofan took a deep breath, leaned over to pick up the monkey, turned around and walked out. The grey monkey was very obedient at this time, quietly lying in his arms.

Zhang Xiaofan put the gray monkey down, sat down on the ground, and gasped for breath. The gray monkey also breathed a sigh of relief, lying on the ground, its eyes rolling around, but it did not run away, just looking at Zhang Xiaofan.

Zhang Xiaofan unbuttoned his shirt and took out the bead tied with a red rope to check it carefully. He saw that the original dark purple appearance had turned into a lavender color, and the green qi inside seemed to be stimulated by something. It circled ten times faster, turning non-stop, and colliding with the appearance of the bead everywhere.

However, Zhang Xiaofan clearly saw that compared to when he first discovered it three years ago, those Buddhist "swastika" mantra words were much inferior in size and brightness.
