After entering the valley along the narrow mountain, I found that it was spring-like all year round, with warm breezes, which was completely different from the ice and snow outside.

Except for the entrance and exit of this narrow mountain, the valley was surrounded by cliffs thousands of feet high. The higher you went, the thicker the ice on the cliffs was, which was difficult for birds to cross.

Not far from the valley, there was a large peach forest. It was the coldest time of the year, but the peach trees here were full of fruits.

The big pink peaches hung on the branches, swaying in the wind, and looked very juicy. Zhu Yuchen picked one casually, wiped the fluff, and took a bite. It was sweet and refreshing, and of excellent quality.

Unfortunately, it was not a rare fruit rich in the essence of heaven and earth, the spiritual energy of the earth veins, etc.

Occasionally, a monkey head flashed through the peach forest, and squeaked away.

"Master, is this where you are looking for?" A Niu asked, carrying Zhu Yuchen on his back and looking around.

Zhu Yuchen nodded and said, "There is a different species of ape here. With your current lightness skill, you can compete with it."

As he said that, Zhu Yuchen patted his shoulder and motioned him to put him down.

Ah Niu already knew what he was going to do. After putting Zhu Yuchen down, he untied the bag on his back, which contained many things, and a coil of cow tendon rope was casually tied around his waist for use.

There were also golden wound medicine, a dagger, needle and thread, a roll of white cloth, a pottery bowl, etc. in the bag, as well as a small jar of strong liquor (low-purity alcohol) refined according to Zhu Yuchen's requirements.

Holding the bag in hand, the two walked along the peach forest all the way inside, and reached the depths of the valley, where a huge pool of water was located in the center of the valley.

Zhu Yuchen reached in and touched it, and nodded. It seems that there should be an underground hot spring hidden underground here. The spring water naturally carries many minerals, which creates the landscape of spring all year round.

The fish in the pool were not afraid of strangers either. They probably had never encountered natural enemies. Some of them swam over and rubbed Zhu Yuchen's fingers. When there was no food as expected, they swam away again.

The peach forest that occupied more than half of the area on the left side of the valley should have been planted by the monkeys who had taken over the area. After many years, a peach forest was formed.

Continuing forward along the grassland, a cave was faintly visible in the deepest part of the valley. At this time, at the entrance of the cave, many monkeys were crowded together, making a mess of "squeaks".

A huge white old ape sat on the ground obliquely. When it saw Zhu Yuchen and the others, it squeaked.

Then, the monkeys took action one after another. Some monkeys grabbed stones and fruits and gathered at the entrance of the cave; others climbed up the cliffs along the surrounding cliffs and surrounded the two people in the middle.

It was obvious that they were just waiting for the old ape's order to surround the two people.

………………

Zhu Yuchen nodded, and Aniu grinned at the monkeys. Some of the monkeys were startled and retreated violently. When the formation was disrupted, Aniu used the Golden Goose Skill and rushed towards the old ape.

The old ape howled, and the chaotic monkeys threw the stones in their hands in anger, rushing over to block them.

Aniu rushed straight towards the monkeys. When he was about ten feet away from the monkeys, he stepped on the ground and changed from forward to upward. His left and right feet used each other to support him, and he went up more than four feet.

The monkeys that were originally charging suddenly encountered this situation. The monkeys in front were stunned and stopped. The monkeys behind were still charging forward, and they were knocked down.

Aniu was in the air, avoiding the monkeys, and swept the monkeys that jumped into the air. With the help of more than a dozen monkeys that jumped up, he stepped on them and landed at the entrance of the cave behind the monkeys.

In the blink of an eye, the monkeys' blockade was broken. Before the old monkey could stand up and speak, Ah Niu had already gathered his true energy and chopped its neck with a knife.

The old monkey rolled his eyes and fell to the ground. The monkeys were out of command, and they surrounded Ah Niu, neither advancing nor retreating.

Taking advantage of the monkeys' lack of command, Ah Niu rushed up and drove them away. Slowly, the monkeys retreated one after another, gathered in a group in the distance, squeaked and looked at this side.

It was not until this time that Zhu Yuchen came over, looked at the old monkey, and found a wound on its right lower abdomen that was already rotting.

"No wonder there was no resistance. The wound has made it strong on the outside but weak on the inside. In a few years, when Zhang Wuji falls, this old monkey can only sit and wait for death."

Knowing that he had found the right one, Zhu Yuchen nodded and asked Ah Niu to tie him up and take him into the cave.

In the cave, not far from the entrance, a pile of straw was spread on the rock to make a bed. Zhu Yuchen's nose moved, and he could faintly smell the aroma of wine and fruit.

But this is not the important thing now. At his signal, Ah Niu took the old ape's woundThe mouth of the monkey was exposed. Zhu Yuchen took a closer look and saw that the joints that were sutured with thread had rotted and turned black.

Indicating Ah Niu to light a fire nearby, Zhu Yuchen laid out the dagger, strong liquor, wound medicine, and needle and thread one by one.

He roasted the dagger on the flame for a while, then disinfected it with strong liquor, and signaled Ah Niu to hold down the old monkey to prevent it from waking up and rolling over.

Zhu Yuchen carefully cut off all the sutures with the dagger, slowly cut off the rotten meat, and exposed the oilcloth package that was sutured in the flesh and blood.

As the oilcloth package was pulled out, blood sprayed, and the old monkey screamed in pain, watching Zhu Yuchen and the other two show their ferocious faces.

Ah Niu would not indulge it, and chopped it down with another hand knife, pressing it firmly on the straw pile, exposing the wound. He didn't care that the old monkey rolled his eyes and twitched all over.

Zhu Yuchen wiped the dagger clean again, burned it with strong liquor and flame for a while, and then soaked the needle and thread in strong liquor for later use.

Then he picked up the dagger again and cut off all the rotten flesh on the wound. The old ape tried to struggle, but was pinned to the ground by Aniu, who would occasionally give it a hand knife.

After cleaning the wound, Zhu Yuchen took out the needle and thread soaked in the bowl, quickly threaded the needle, and sutured the wound again.

After confirming that there was no problem with the suture, he poured the golden wound medicine on the wound and wrapped it tightly with white cloth. At this time, the old ape was breathing less in and out more.

Zhu Yuchen shook his head, took out a handkerchief from his arms, picked up a hundred-year-old ginseng beard, and poured it down with strong liquor.

………………

After doing all this, Zhu Yuchen used a dagger to pick open the oilcloth package, revealing the original four volumes of the "Lankavatara Sutra" inside.

Zhu Yuchen flipped through the pages carefully. In the middle of the Sanskrit, there were many small characters in tiny regular script. He opened the second volume of scriptures and began: Inhale and exhale the nine Yang, embrace one and contain the origin. This book can be called "Nine Yang True Classics".

Zhu Yuchen smiled slightly and put the four volumes of scriptures into his arms.

Ah Niu didn't care about these scriptures. He didn't even look at them. He just kept an eye on the surroundings. When Zhu Yuchen put away the books, he asked, "Master, are we going back now?"

Zhu Yuchen shook his head and said, "Do you smell the aroma of wine and fruit?"

Ah Niu nodded and said, "Yes, but the smell is very faint, and I don't know where it comes from."

Zhu Yuchen whispered to himself, "These monkeys gather here and can plant such a large peach forest. Will they brew monkey wine?"
