Chapter 113: The monkeys get close, and the old bear steals honey
After mastering all the three kinds of internal and external strength training, Chen Jue went to bed to move his Qi and blood and practice the small and large circulations, so as to calm down the irritability caused by the hard training.
After practicing this kind of hard work to strengthen the body for a long time, Chen Jue felt like he was holding his breath in his chest and wanted to find a place to vent it immediately.
Just like Li Yuanba, who hated the sky for not having a handle and the earth for not having a ring, he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't swing the 800-jin Leiguweng Jinchui a few times a day.
This is because there is too much essence and energy in the body, and Chen Jue has the bonus of [One Qi Chaoyang Sheng] from the Perfect Boy's Kung Fu.
In traditional Chinese medicine, there is a condition called "yang fire deficiency and exuberance", but that is a yang deficiency syndrome caused by staying up late, getting angry, etc., which requires nourishing yin and harmonizing, which is different from Chen Jue's situation.
Chen Jue's internal strength was due to hard training, which made his internal organs and bone marrow too strong, so that his energy could not be released.
This special situation is also mentioned in the Internal Martial Arts Classics: "If refining the internal organs and changing the marrow leads to excessive liver yang fire and excessive stomach qi, you need to grind your teeth with pebbles and swallow them into the stomach to digest food and transform qi, until the stomach qi is consumed and then vomited out again."
There are several animals in nature that have similar habits of eating stones. Crocodiles and extinct dinosaurs all have the habit of eating stones to grind their teeth and exercise their stomachs, calm energy that has nowhere to vent, and enhance their digestion and absorption abilities.
Just like cats and dogs, they are born to go out into the wild to find herbs and eat grass to clean out the hair accumulation in their stomachs and intestines. This is an animal instinct.
Fortunately, Chen Jue had the help of Taoist inner alchemy. After a few rounds of moving qi and blood, he was able to enter a state of meditation through fetal breathing like the Taoists in ancient times, transform essence into qi, and transform qi into spirit. He converted the excess energy into nutrients and invested them in practice, and smoothly calmed down the restless qi and blood in his body.
When it was past 12 o'clock, Chen Jue slowly finished his exercise, wiped his body with hot water, and lay down to sleep.
After getting up the next day, Chen Jue practiced Tai Chi in the yard for half an hour to cultivate his body and mind and improve his proficiency.
Then he walked quickly to the town to have breakfast, and bought some compressed biscuits of different flavors and functional drinks, intending to continue exploring the mountains and practicing martial arts.
By the way, look for any Panax notoginseng and Ganoderma lucidum herbs growing in the wild that you can pick and bring back.
The rock cabbage that Chen Jue had found on the cliff had bloomed beautifully, so he gave it to Wang Biao and asked him to take it home to continue cultivating it.
…
On the way into the mountains, Chen Jue also took the information downloaded on his mobile phone and learned a new light Kung Fu: Night Walking Kung Fu.
This light Kung Fu also comes from the Thirty-Six Wudang Kung Fu. It has the function of training night vision and light Kung Fu skills. It is more suitable to be practiced in the dark environment at night.
However, Chen Jue had the blessing of [Lü Zu's Enlightenment], and the environment in the deep mountains and dense forests was tortuous and complex, which was no easier than walking at night, so his progress in practicing this night walking technique was not too slow.
There is still more than a week before leaving for the competition, so Chen Jue has plenty of time and patience.
After crossing mountains and forests and arriving at the riverbank where he encountered the tiger last time, Chen Jue discovered that the campfire spot, which he had hastily covered last time, had been cleaned up by someone.
It's as if there is a natural cleaner who is secretly repairing the damage left by humans.
"Is it her?"
The image of the girl carrying the basket flashed through Chen Jue’s mind.
He roared loudly again on the river pond, like a tiger roaring in the forest. After waiting for a long time but seeing no sign of the beast, he put on his backpack again and walked into a deeper and more remote forest.
By the time it was completely dark, Chen Jue had already arrived at a valley where birds were singing, flowers were blooming, and occasionally groups of monkeys were playing around.
Chen Jue used his keen vision to observe the monkeys for a few times and discovered that they were the black-capped leaf monkeys unique to the Dulong River area in Gongshan. They had black faces and yellow cheeks, and their fur was distinctly gray and yellow. They were not big, only half a meter tall, and they looked like they were wearing a small hat on their heads. They were definitely the most unorthodox monkeys.
However, although they look a bit strange, they are national first-class protected wild animals and are extremely rare.
If Chen Jue had not walked more than a hundred kilometers from Wazhai and came to such a remote mountain area, he would probably not have encountered such a rare group of monkeys.
Watching these hooded black-winged leaf monkeys playing in the forest and observing their climbing, jumping and flying movements, Chen Jue found a large, flat rock at the entrance of the valley and sat down because he was too far away to learn the essence of the monkeys.
After walking through the nature reserve for a whole day and practicing the night walking technique which is extremely good for eyesight training, Chen Jue felt that he had overworked his brain and was a little tired.
As there were no wide rivers or water sources nearby, Chen Jue did not dare to light a bonfire easily, for fear of causing a forest fire and affecting the mountain elves living and breeding here.
…
Chen Jue was peeling off a piece of compressed biscuit and eating it when he heard a few chirping sounds coming from above his head.
When he looked up, he saw that all the hooded black-winged leaf monkeys living nearby were attracted by him.
More than a dozen little guys with black faces and yellow eyes were squatting or hanging upside down on the trunks of the trees above their heads, all watching Chen Jue eating from a close distance. It felt like they were watching from the front row in a forum.
Perhaps Chen Jue himself could not have imagined that after practicing the Taoist inner alchemy, his body would return to its original state, which would not only make him feel friendly to humans, but also make them want to get close to him and deal with him.
Even in the eyes of these wild animals, they felt that this strange human who walked upright on two legs exuded a temperament that made them naturally want to get close to him.
“Squeak!”
"Woo!"
A slightly braver hooded black-browed leaf monkey even climbed down from the tree and squatted beside Chen Jue. While observing Chen Jue closely, his eyes were fixed on the compressed biscuit in his hand.
"Try it?"
Chen Jue broke off a very small piece and handed it over. Anyway, this compressed biscuit was rich in nutrients and could be eaten by humans. It was definitely better than the feed in the zoo, so there was no need to worry about feeding it to these wild animals and harming them.
The brave little monkey hesitated for a few moments, then hooked his hand to pick up the small piece of biscuit from Chen Jue's palm and put it into his mouth.
But this guy didn't eat for nothing. Instead, he found a small round wild fruit that looked like a winter date from somewhere and threw it to Chen Jue . Seeing that the little monkey was eating it enthusiastically, Chen Jue rinsed the fruit with an energy drink and put it into his mouth, chewing it with a crunch. It tasted sour and sweet and quite good.
Compared to those naughty monkeys in Mount Emei, these little guys who look like Shamatte are definitely very polite.
…
After playing with these little monkeys for a while, Chen Jue finished his dinner and walked around in the valley.
He found that the flowers in the valley were blooming in full bloom, and even in the last rays of the setting sun, they all looked vying for beauty. In addition to the chirping of the hooded black-capped leaf monkeys, there was also a buzzing sound similar to that of bees' wings.
Scanning the valley, he discovered a nest of wild bees on a tall tree, which gave him a chill.
Getting stung by this thing is no joke!
Every year we often see in the news that some people were stung by wild bees while visiting graves on Qingming Festival and were rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.
There is a rapeseed base near Chencun's hometown. Every March and April, rapeseed flowers are in full bloom and the whole mountain and field are golden. There are also the most bees at this time. When Chen Jue was a child, he went to the rapeseed base for an outing and was often stung by bees collecting nectar from the flowers.
After one injection, the bee venom entered the body, causing inflammation and fever. I had to go to the town’s health center to get an IV drip before I could recover.
This is just the stinger of a domesticated bee!
The toxicity of wild bees is several times stronger than that of domesticated bees!
An average adult may suffer from acute renal failure if stung by a wild bee a dozen times, and severe cases may be fatal.
Fortunately, Chen Jue had learned a few new hard skills and had gained some confidence in the defensive ability of his skin. He also practiced the hidden power throughout his body. Although he had not yet mastered the realm of "not even a feather can be added, not even a fly or insect can land", with his sharp reactions and strong physical fitness, it was absolutely no problem for him to dodge a few wild bees .
After taking a look at the beehive, Chen Jue slowly began to retreat to the entrance of the valley.
With this wild beehive as a neighbor, Chen Jue didn't dare to stay overnight in the nearby mountains and forests for fear of being stung at night.
Just as he packed his backpack and was about to continue along the mountain road to find a flat and wide place to camp, Chen Jue suddenly heard a heavy breathing sound in the valley.
The capped leaf monkeys that were originally jumping and playing on the treetops also became agitated and screamed continuously.
Chen Jue tiptoed towards the sound and saw a black bear with long, hard, shiny black fur nearly 2 meters long climbing up the huge tree where the wild beehive lived in the valley.
This is an adult female black bear. Because it has a tuft of white crescent-shaped fur on its chest and poor eyesight, it is also called crescent bear, moon bear, black bear, blind bear, etc. It is a national second-level key protected wild animal.
Chen Jue had seen similar funny videos online before, of black bears getting stung on the face while trying to steal honey. He just didn’t expect that he would catch one in the act deep in Gongshan Mountain!
"Brother, you are quite fierce!"
"This is a wild beehive! Not a domesticated beehive!"
Chen Jue squatted in the weeds and watched the black bear climb up the tree. Then he stretched out his hand and scratched off most of the layers of stacked and strangely shaped honeycombs, which fell heavily into the weeds under the tree.
Then it waved one of its bear claws to drive away the bees that were rushing towards it, hooked one claw on the bark, rolled down from the tree quickly, then picked up most of the beehive in its mouth and ran out of the valley at a high speed.
The whole process of committing the crime was smooth and flowing, and it was obvious that an old hand at stealing honey. Chen Jue exclaimed that it was so exciting to watch!
However, the consequences of poking a beehive are not that simple. After being chased and stung and screaming in pain a few times, the black bear ran on all fours, panting as it cut a straight path through the wild flowers and weeds.
When it passed by the bush where Chen Jue was hiding, it didn't notice Chen Jue because of its poor eyesight and it was already dark! The name of the blind bear really lived up to its name!
The half piece of honeycomb in its mouth was already broken into pieces after it fell from the tree and hit the grass pile. Then it shook it violently, causing most of the honeycomb in its mouth to be torn into pieces again and fell to the ground, just less than five meters away from Chen Jue.
"Brother! Your moral integrity... No, it's your honey that fell off!"
