Chapter 199 Opening
Time flies.
Seven days passed in a flash.
The hunters may have just emerged from the jungle.
But Wang Shun felt that he had experienced the most incredible thing in his life.
That white ape was really trying to learn how to speak from him. Moreover, it was not just intelligent, but extremely smart, almost like an old monster.
Often the words he teaches can be understood and remembered by the other party after just one hearing, and they will never forget them.
By the third day, Wang Shun suspected that the other party could roughly understand what he was saying.
This made him very scared, and he did think about escaping or resisting.
But he found that despite his martial arts skills, which were highly respected among the mountain people, he could not defeat a monkey.
Not to mention, the monkey has two accomplices, a tiger and an eagle.
When he saw the eagle circling in the sky as if monitoring everything, he gave up his plan to escape and obediently taught the white ape to speak.
Even, looking at the vine in the white ape's hand, he actually had the idea of stealing its skills.
After all, the opponent's vine was so sharp that he was unable to fight back.
If you can learn it yourself, it will probably be a skill that can be passed down from generation to generation.
As for the mountain stronghold and the hunter team, he couldn't even protect himself, so he could only let them fend for themselves.
…
This day.
At night, after eating the two wild animals brought by the tiger as usual, Wang Shun yawned and looked at the bright moon in the sky.
I saw the white ape facing the lake, babbling , as if practicing vocalization. I couldn't help but laugh in my heart: 'This old ape, it's already a great fortune to be able to understand human language, and it still wants to learn to speak like a human? Oh... If it really can speak, then teach it a few auspicious words, wouldn't those dignitaries be crazy happy? It will definitely be sold at a sky-high price... Wait... What am I thinking about?'
"Wang Shun... come here!"
At this time, he heard a low voice in his ear.
Although it's not very standard, like a parrot imitating something, it's still understandable.
"Who is it?"
He answered subconsciously, then suddenly thought of something, his body trembled, and he looked at the white ape in disbelief.
"It's me!"
Fang Xian stood with his hands behind his back.
During this period of time, he cultivated the power of calamity hard and finally completed the first change of the 'Nine Changes of Gangsha' - the transformation of flesh and blood. He refined part of the flesh and blood of his throat and tongue, and could make human sounds.
"A monster!"
"No! Grandpa White Ape...you can finally speak?"
Wang Shun was so scared that he knelt on the ground and almost peed himself.
The old ape spoke up, he had never heard of such a thing.
"Monsters? Are there really monsters in the world?"
Fang Xian asked.
'Why not? Aren't you one?'
Wang Shun shouted in his heart and was interrogated by Fang Xian, who basically asked him what day it was and what the name of this place was.
After a conversation, Fang Xian remained silent.
This Wang Shun is the leader of hunters in a nearby mountain village. He has some status and knows more than ordinary people.
At least I know that the country at that time was called "Da Zhou". Just as Fang Xian expected, it was in the ancient feudal period.
Before the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was a Great Yuan Dynasty. Later, the last emperor of the Yuan Dynasty lost his virtue, and heroes rose up throughout the country. The country was in chaos for seventy years, and was eventually conquered by Emperor Taizu of Zhou. It has only been passed down for three generations.
Although the emperor in power was not particularly wise and brave, he was a king who maintained the status quo. In addition, the country was just beginning to settle down, the population was growing and thriving, and it was a time of peace and prosperity.
Wang Shun is a native of the mountain village near Bailiang Mountain.
Bailiang Mountain is located in Dingzhou. At that time, the country was in chaos and the people could not bear the suffering. They took refuge in the mountains and built villages to protect themselves. Each village had about hundreds of people, and gradually it became larger.
At this point, the government will certainly not sit idly by.
Through various means, the people are registered and brought under control, and of course... the most important thing is to pay taxes.
The mountain people were already poor, and their situation became even worse. When they heard that the local officials wanted to offer auspicious signs, they set their sights on the white ape.
It is said that a woodcutter once saw a white ape nearby while collecting firewood, so he followed the ape all the way.
"What they saw was probably my predecessor..."
Fang Xian asked again and found that this ancient world did not seem to have any other mysteries. It was just a world for ordinary people.
Although there are Taoists, they only worship gods and do not perform any miracles or magic.
The strong man boasted by the army as having "the courage of ten thousand men", can actually be knocked down by just a few dozen people at most.
As for mountain spirits and monsters, although there are many legends, none of them has been confirmed.
"Of course... Now that I have it, I might be the first monster? Or maybe Wang Shun is not experienced enough..."
Fang Xian felt that there was something wrong with the way Wang Shun looked at him.
Obviously, after experiencing such a major change, this person's worldview has shifted.
"Grandpa White Ape...do you have any other instructions?"
Feeling a little chilled by the gaze of the white ape's pair of purple pupils, Wang Shun couldn't help but ask with a flattering smile.
"You taught me how to speak and read, which is a small achievement, but you had bad intentions before..."
Fang Xianhou smiled and made Wang Shun kneel down, with cold sweat on his forehead: "Grandpa White Ape, I was blinded by greed and dared to attack you. Just treat it as a fart and let me go..."
"He's quite a clever fellow."
Fang Xian laughed in silence: "I haven't finished yet... The merits and demerits offset each other, I won't bother with the sword skills you secretly learned. When you go back, practice them well, I guarantee that you will benefit from them for the rest of your life. Let's go..."
The sword skills he summarized, even if they are ordinary fighting techniques, are enough to make a living, and in this world they are even top-notch secrets of magical skills.
It's a pity that this person is not capable of being trained, otherwise he wouldn't mind taking in a third disciple and passing on the ways of a Taoist priest.
"Thank you, Grandpa White Ape. Thank you, Grandpa White Ape!"
Wang Shun was overjoyed. He kowtowed several times, then stood up and wanted to leave.
At this time, Fang Xian said calmly: "After this, I'm ready to leave!"
Wang Shun shuddered, feeling as if his heart was seen through. The back of his clothes was soaked with cold sweat, and he almost fell to his knees again.
After he left, Fang Xian called the tiger and the eagle again: "You should leave too, don't come back here."
After thinking for a while, he patted the tiger and the eagle on the forehead, and a seed of spiritual consciousness fell down.
This includes not only the power of calamity, but also the human language and characters that Fang Xian has learned during this period, as well as the method of refining the transverse bone.
"Perhaps in time, they can also become monsters? Robbery monsters?"
'After all, there is no spiritual energy in this world, so I can only practice my way of alchemy...'
"Does this count as establishing the path of demons and becoming the ancestor of all demons?"
Fang Xian raised his head: "If this world really has a 'Heavenly Heart Consciousness', will there be some thunder disaster or something?"
He was not afraid of the calamity, but was afraid that the calamity would not be strong enough.
Unfortunately, there was a bright moon in the sky, with no sign of dark clouds or thunder. This attempt to test God's will ultimately ended in failure.
