Onmyoji's Secret

Chapter 214
There was a creaking sound all around, and there was a lot of noise in the woods. I saw hundreds of monkeys appearing in all directions, either standing on the branches, or crouching on the ground, all facing us. ,glare.

My expression froze immediately, these monkeys were fine, but there were human voices in this primeval forest just now, could it be that some of these monkeys really became spirited monsters.

I held the sword in one hand, and looked vigilantly at the direction of the sound. The little thunder beast shrank beside me, bared its teeth and let out a low growl towards the distance.

Finally, with the sound of footsteps, I saw a huge ape with a height of nearly three meters walking towards us surrounded by dozens of monkeys. The upright white ears looked a little abrupt, and the scorched yellow fangs were exposed from the slightly opened mouth, which made people feel a little fierce at first glance.

My eyes are serious, this guy is by no means an ordinary monkey, even if he is not a monster with this height and appearance, he is definitely a wild alien, which should not be underestimated.But what surprised me the most was not the giant ape, but a man standing next to him.

This man is about 25 or [-] years old. He has a rough appearance, messy hair, a beard, and some worn clothes. He looks more like a savage in the mountains and forests, which makes people feel surprised. The most amazing thing is that this man actually stood beside the huge ape, looking calm and at ease, and the surrounding monkeys were also in awe of him. I thought to myself that this man is not simple.

"Little brother, don't look at me so nervously. It's rare to see people in this woods. I won't hurt you." The man with whiskers said to me with a smile, judging from his voice , The person who spoke just now should be him.

I looked around vigilantly and said, "Who are you? And what's the point of these monkeys following us?"

The bearded man chuckled, and said heartily, "My name is Jixiang, and these are my partners in the mountains and forests."

auspicious?

This is a good name, but coupled with the decadent and rough face in front of him, it can't help but make people feel a little weird.

At this moment, I saw that huge ape two steps towards the Tibetan monkey who fell from the tree, and he stretched out a big hand to dig it out of the messy hair on his body, and made a piece of it. A black, slimy object was stuffed into the mouth of the injured monkey.

The monkey was forcibly stuffed with black mud, and his face became distorted, but under the powerful power of the ape, he didn't dare to resist, so he could only swallow the black mud with bitterness on his face. Mu Yueting and I were amazed at the scene, but I didn't dare to think too much about what that black thing was.

"Brother Jixiang, we are two tourists who strayed here, and we are about to leave here." I said politely, since this strange man named Jixiang put on a friendly face, I naturally didn't want to be hostile to him.

"Oh, tourist? Will there be a wild alien like this next to the tourist? And the blood on the girl's clothes, plus the comatose little girl you brought with you, this thing doesn't look normal."

Jixiang looked at me with a half-smile, with a teasing look on his face, I smiled slightly, what I said just now was just to find a way for both parties to divert the matter of the injured monkey.

"Tsk tsk, with a dragon body and a human head, it can also make lightning and thunderous sounds. This guy should be the legendary Thor. I didn't expect to see one in real life." Ji Xiang's eyes were shining brightly. Looking at the little Thunder Beast, it looks like an old man who has been starving for ten years staring at a flower girl, until the hairs on the little Thunder Beast were blown up, and he huddled beside me and kept calling.

At this time, Mu Yueting came from behind, reached out and touched the head of the little Thunder Beast, and said to Jixiang, "We are monks from Mount Qingcheng."

Ji Xiang's eyes lit up, and he laughed loudly: "That's right. Taoist practitioners are those Taoist practitioners who know magic?"

I nodded as an admission.At this moment, the huge ape walked up to Jixiang and stared at us with a pair of big yellow eyes. To my surprise, I didn't see the beast-like ferocity in these eyes, but rather In it, I felt a kind of brilliance of wisdom, as if standing in front of us at this moment is not an ape-like monster, but a knowledgeable and wise old man.

"Come on, let me introduce to you, this is my good partner in this forest, and he is also the most knowledgeable existence in Mount Emei." Jixiang stepped forward, stood beside the ape, and said to us with a smile .

Hun?

My heart skipped a beat, and when I heard this somewhat familiar name, I immediately remembered the origin of this ape-like monster.According to the "Shan Hai Jing · Nan Shan Jing" records: "There is a beast, its shape is like a crocodile with white ears, and it walks on a pedestrian. Its name is 狌狌, and it is good at eating and walking." It is an ape with a pair of white ears on its head. If it eats the meat of a scorpion, the whole person will become good at walking and running.

And in "Lunheng·Shiying", it is said: "Xuan knows the past, Ganmagpie knows the coming." It means that a monster like Xuanxun can know the past, and another creature named Ganmagpie can learn about it. future things.And it is also recorded in "Huainanzi Fanlun" written by King Huainan of the Western Han Dynasty: "Xuan knows the past but does not know the coming." Unlike other wild beasts, it is a creature of great intelligence and talent.

"Chen Zixuan, Mu Yueting."

Xuanxuan opened his mouth suddenly, his voice was a little hoarse, but he directly called out the names of me and Mu Yueting. If I hadn’t read the records about Xuanxuan in books before, I’m afraid I would have been shocked, but it’s so , I am still very surprised by this creature that can know the past.

On the other side, Mu Yueting, who had never heard of Xuanxuan's ability, suddenly turned pale with shock, and looked at the opposite side with a wary face.I hurriedly explained to her in a low voice, and she suddenly nodded and regained her composure.

However, a thought suddenly popped up in my heart, since this slut can know what happened in the past, although I don't know if there are any restrictions and taboos on this ability, he might be able to know about Chemazhi's whereabouts One or two, he can even use his ability to capture Chemazhi. When I think of this, I can't help but feel a little hot.

"Since you are two ascetics from Mount Qingcheng, why did you come to the top of Emei Mountain? Look at your appearance, could it be that you fought with someone just now? This girl seems to be seriously injured?" Ji Xiang looked at me. He Mu Yueting asked, his words were full of masculinity.

I was just about to answer, but suddenly I had a thought in my mind, why not use this question to try the skills of this scorpion, I immediately smiled and said: "I heard that scorpion can know the past, the purpose of our coming to Mount Emei And what happened just now, this person should be able to know a thing or two, right?"

After I finished speaking, I looked at Xuanxuan with burning eyes, with some anticipation in my heart.

Ji Xiang glanced at me in surprise, hesitated, and said: "Little brother doesn't know something, this slut does have the legendary talent of knowing the past, but this kind of heaven-defying ability will naturally have many advantages." Taboos, one of which is that what happened must be within a certain range of the scorpion, once it is too far away, it will be impossible to know."

After listening to Jixiang's words, although I had already guessed that this almost heaven-defying ability would have some limitations, I was still a little disappointed after hearing his confirmation. It must be known within a certain range. Just outside the sensing range of this slut, wouldn't that be equivalent to useless?

Just when I was wondering whether I should seek help from the man and the ape in front of me, the man who had been silent since calling our names said, "You want to find Chemazhi."

I was taken aback for a moment, then I was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked: "Excuse me, do you know the whereabouts of Chemazhi?"

Xuanxuan remained silent, but Ji Xiang who was at the side frowned and said, "Chemazhi..."
