“Click, click!”

In the mysterious and quiet Ghost Mountain, Luo Tianzheng was surrounded by a group of monkeys and came to the Welcoming Pine. This Welcoming Pine was tall and straight, with lush branches and leaves. A dozen monkeys surrounded it at the same time, wrapped it with their limbs, exerted their strength, and pushed it down in a breath.

This scene made Luo Tian secretly surprised.

He didn’t expect that the strength of this group of monkeys was no less than that of ordinary people. At the same time, he also vaguely discovered that there was Qi emanating from the arms of the big-eared monkey.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak…” The monkeys kept calling out to Luo Tian, ​​as if urging him to uproot the welcoming pine. Luo Tian looked puzzled, but seeing the monkeys’ eagerness, he still reached out and grabbed the trunk. He took a deep breath and pulled hard. With a “boom”, the welcoming pine was easily uprooted.

As the Welcoming Pine fell, a mysterious cave appeared under the tree, with a faint blue light flickering in the cave.

Luo Tian walked closer with curiosity, and saw that it was filled with blue crystals. These crystals were shaped like peaches, surrounded by a thin needle, as if they were constantly gathering the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

Luo Tian couldn’t help but sigh: “This is truly a creation of heaven and earth. There is such a magical thing.” He leaned closer to smell it, and instantly felt an extremely abundant Qi, which lifted his spirits.

“How can this be?”

Luo Tian picked up a peach-shaped blue crystal in disbelief. Just by smelling it, all his fatigue was swept away.

“Chi-converting crystal?”

“Is this man-made or natural?”

Luo Tian secretly guessed several times in his heart that these blue crystals were most likely left by Zhang Huaiyi. Although he was not sure about their purpose, a strong curiosity surged in his heart.

At this time, the big-eared monkey picked up a blue crystal and ate it like a peach, as if hinting to Luo Tian, ​​”Eat it quickly, it’s delicious!”

Luo Tian looked at these tempting blue crystals, and couldn’t help but pick up a few and put them in his mouth. As the crystals melted in his mouth, a powerful force instantly burst out in his body, his strength began to surge, and the Qi around him became more powerful. Seeing this, the monkeys cheered excitedly and jumped around him.

Not far away, there is a hidden hill.

An elderly woman looked thoughtful when she saw the situation of Luo Tian and the monkeys.

“Oh? It’s not easy to make Zhang Huaiyi recognize you as your master!”

The old woman said this and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Luo Tian seemed to have sensed someone, but when he turned around to check, there was nothing but mountains and clouds, no one at all!
There was a pause of about half an hour.

At this moment, the big-eared monkey suddenly pricked up its ears, its hair stood on end, as if it had been alert to something.

Then, it quickly ran down the mountain with a group of monkeys and disappeared from Luo Tian’s sight in the blink of an eye.

Luo Tian was sitting cross-legged and practicing, and didn’t notice it.

next moment.

There were sounds of fighting and talking coming from down the hill.

The big-eared monkey was seen aggressively leading hundreds of monkeys to attack Zhang Chulan and Zhuge Qing.

Zhang Chulan and Zhuge Qing both looked solemn.

“Eh? These monkeys seem to be hostile to us?” Zhang Chulan touched his chin and muttered in a low voice, with a lot of Qi emanating from his body, as if facing a great enemy.

Zhuge Qing chuckled, looked around, and said boredly: “Except for the two of us, there seems to be no one else here!”

“There’s something strange about these monkeys. They are intelligent!”

Zhang Chulan saw the big-eared monkeys standing on a high place and did not attack them, but simply surrounded them. However, the monkeys around them looked ferocious, as if they were going to eat them!
Zhang Chulan touched his nose, coughed, took out some food from his pocket and walked to the monkeys: “Everyone, we don’t mean to disturb you, we are here to look for someone! His name is Luo Tian, ​​and he looks like this.”

Ever since.

Zhang Chulan kindly described Luo Tian’s figure and appearance, just like a real monkey, which made Zhuge Qing laugh. Zhuge Qing joked: “Zhang Chulan, you are communicating with them. They are monkeys, not humans. Can they understand?”

Seeing that the monkey was indifferent and not moved by the food, Zhang Chulan smiled.

“These monkeys may have become spirits. Believe it or not, they can understand.”

Zhuge Qing shook his head: “I don’t believe it!”

But in a second, the big-eared monkey waved his hands, shook his head, indicating that he didn’t know, and grinned in anger, as if hinting that Zhang Chulan and Zhuge Qing should leave!

Zhuge Qing was secretly surprised. He whispered, “They really understand human language! They don’t seem to welcome us and are chasing us away, you see…”

“What are you looking at? Luo Tian has been here for a long time. We must find him as soon as possible!”

“Go! If they try to stop us, then we’ll just beat them away. Isn’t it just a monkey for nothing?”

As he spoke, Zhang Chulan attacked at lightning speed. Zhuge Qing did not make a move at this time, but just leaned to the side and watched the show, holding a weed in his mouth: “I must not take action for such a small matter! Haha!”

Zhang Chulan turned around and was stunned for a second: “Zhuge Qing! You~ are really good!”

I don’t know if Zhang Chulan was careless or holding back on purpose, but the first punch was dodged by a monkey~
Zhuge Qing teased, “Yoyo~ Are you letting me go or are you angry? Do you want to do this?”

However, Zhang Chulan dodged to the side, looked at his missing fist, and said solemnly: “Zhuge Qing, we have encountered a problem. These monkeys are not just spirits. They have Qi! Can they use Qi?”

“What? Qi?” When Zhuge Qing heard Zhang Chulan’s words, he immediately looked around and found that the monkeys around him really had Qi, which puzzled him.

Just as the two were talking in a daze, the monkeys from all around swarmed over and attacked them from both sides!
As the two men dodged, they were forced into a small valley.

At this time, they were exhausted from dealing with the attacks of thousands of monkeys. While dodging the attacks of the monkeys, Zhang Chulan said in shock: “Why, I feel like the two of us can’t beat them, this is unscientific!” Zhang Chulan’s face was covered in sweat, and his eyes revealed a hint of anxiety.

Zhuge Qing looked around and smiled calmly.

It’s not that we can’t defeat them, it’s that there’s something weird about this little valley, there’s a formation!
Our Qi was suppressed, but they had no effect at all! “What? Doesn’t that mean we’re going to die in the hands of a bunch of monkeys?” Zhang Chulan wanted to cry but had no tears, and cried to the sky: “I’m still a virgin~ I can’t die here, I want to find Luo Tian, ​​find Sister Baoer! Oh, God!”

Zhang Chulan’s funny behavior left Zhuge Qing speechless.

Zhuge Qing was not panicked. After all, he was a real Taoist blade master and also knew the Wu Hou Qimen.

If he can’t even break this formation, he doesn’t deserve the surname Zhuge.

In a blink of an eye.

Zhuge Qing formed a formation with both hands, and Tai Chi Bagua came into being.

The formation is set up, the wind and clouds change, and the positions change.

In just a moment, Zhuge Qing was fighting among the monkeys with ease.

Zhang Chulan sat on the ground and grinned: “I knew you could do it, hehe~ You’ve been fooled~ You can’t let me do the work!”

Zhang Chulan pretended to attack and gradually beat back the monkeys. During the fight, Zhang Chulan murmured in shock: “Is the Qi in these monkeys’ moves innate or acquired? It’s really weird.” His brows were furrowed, his heart full of confusion and shock.

“There are too many strange things in the world. There is no need to analyze them all. Zhang Chulan, just kill them.”

“If we don’t kill them like this, they won’t retreat!”

Zhang Chulan looked towards Zhuge Qing, nodded slightly, emitted golden light, and prepared to cast the Golden Light Spell.

Zhuge Qing used his Qimen Dunjia skills to control the group of big-eared monkeys.

“Sorry, if you don’t let me, then only one of them will die!” Zhang Chulan jumped into the air, ready to get rid of these monkeys with one move.

At the critical moment, a voice was heard.

“Keep it!”

“Zhang Chulan, how could you bear to kill a group of cute monkeys?”

“If this gets out, you’ll be sued for killing protected wild animals. You’ll be sentenced to three years in prison at least!”

Zhang Chulan was puzzled, Zhuge Qing looked up in surprise
Luo Tian’s voice came from the mountain, and he flashed and instantly came to Zhang Chulan and Zhuge Qing.

When Zhang Chulan saw Luo Tian appear, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he quickly shouted: “Luo Tian, ​​why are you here too?”

Zhuge Qing retracted the formation and noticed that the monkeys collectively retreated behind Luo Tian. He smiled deeply and said, “Interesting!”

Luo Tian smiled slightly and said, “Show mercy, they are my friends!” After that, he waved his hands and a powerful Qi wave surged out of his body, stopping Zhang Chulan.

Zhang Chulan retreated three feet. He felt his hands shaking and looked at Luo Tian in disbelief: “Your strength seems to have improved?”

Zhuge Qing was also secretly surprised when he saw this. He did not expect Luo Tian’s strength to become so strong. He looked at Luo Tian and asked, “Luo Tian, ​​what’s wrong with you? How did your strength improve so quickly?”

Luo Tian laughed, pointed to the cave on the mountain, and said: “I found some magical blue crystals on the mountain. After eating a few, my strength increased dramatically.”

Zhang Chulan’s eyes widened, and he said in surprise: “What? There is such a good thing? Then let’s go and eat a few.”

Luo Tian quickly stopped him and said, “Don’t worry, the origin of these crystals is unknown, and we don’t know if there are any side effects.”

While they were talking, the monkeys attacked again. Zhang Chulan hurriedly formed seals with his hands, chanted something, and used his thunder magic. Lightning bolts shot out from his hands and struck the monkeys.

Zhuge Qing was not to be outdone. He waved the feather fan in his hand, and countless flames spewed out from the fan, covering the surrounding monkeys. Although there were many monkeys, they did not retreat at all in the face of the attacks of Zhang Chulan and Zhuge Qing. They nimbly dodged the attacks and continued to pounce on the three.

Seeing this, Luo Tian clenched his fists, shouted loudly, and rushed towards the monkey group. His figure was as fast as lightning, and every punch he threw was full of powerful force, breaking the huge rocks. Then he said to the big-eared monkey in dissatisfaction: “They are my friends, don’t you understand?”

After hearing this, the big-eared monkey looked at Luo Tian, ​​and ordered the monkeys to retreat and stop attacking Zhang Chulan and Zhuge Qing.

Zhuge Qing and Luo Tian were discussing why the monkeys had Qi. Luo Tian took out a blue crystal from his pocket and guessed, “I think these monkeys have Qi because they ate this blue crystal. I also noticed that there seems to be a formation in the valley behind us.”

Zhuge Qing heard this and immediately went to check it out. After carefully observing the formation in the valley, he was shocked. He murmured to himself, “This is an exquisite Qi-gathering formation. This formation has been lost for many years. I really don’t know which master set it up, and why he set up such a formation here?”

At this time, Zhang Chulan was not attracted by the formation at all. He was just busy collecting blue crystals, muttering: “Haha, such a magical thing, if I sell it out, I will definitely get a good price. One crystal is worth at least 100 million. I’m rich, Zhang Chulan is rich~” Zhang Chulan’s actions made a group of monkeys scratch their ears and cheeks, almost crazy. The monkeys kept squeaking, as if protesting against Zhang Chulan’s behavior.

Zhang Chulan completely ignored the monkeys’ reactions. He grabbed the big-eared monkey with excitement in his eyes, ready to study its body structure carefully and then take it back. Just as he was about to do it, a mysterious old woman suddenly appeared and shouted, “Stop!”

Everyone was startled and looked over, only to see that the person coming was an old woman, Granny Jinfeng. Granny Jinfeng walked forward quickly with a gloomy face, snatched the big-eared monkey from Zhang Chulan’s hand, stroked it with heartache, and whispered, “Zhang Huaiyi, are you okay?”

Zhang Chulan and Zhuge Qing were shocked when they heard this name. They stared at Grandma Jinfeng and the big-eared monkey with wide eyes. Zhang Chulan stuttered, “Grandma Jinfeng, why…why did you call my grandfather by his name?”

Granny Jinfeng glanced at them, sighed slightly, and said slowly: “Well, it’s a long story. This group of monkeys was once raised by your grandfather, and this big-eared monkey has a special fate with him, so I have always called it Zhang Huaiyi.”

Zhang Chulan asked with a puzzled look on his face: “Granny Jinfeng, what is going on? Why does my grandfather keep these monkeys?”

Granny Jin Feng’s eyes revealed a trace of reminiscence, and she slowly said: “Back then, Zhang Huaiyi practiced in this ghost mountain for a period of time. He used the terrain in the valley to set up a Qi gathering formation and guided the monkeys to eat blue crystals, so that they could obtain Qi and spiritual wisdom, and became more powerful from then on.

Zhuge Qing asked thoughtfully: “Granny Jinfeng, did you set up this Qi Gathering Formation just to let these monkeys gain Qi? That’s a bit weird.”

Granny Jinfeng shook her head and said, “I don’t know the specific reason, but I think Zhang Huaiyi might not just do this for the monkeys. Maybe he wants to study some mysteries about Qi through this Qi Gathering Formation, or maybe he has other deeper purposes. After all, Zhang Huaiyi has always been a person who is hard to figure out.”

After hearing what Grandma Jinfeng said, Zhang Chulan couldn’t help but become more curious about Grandpa’s past. He looked at the blue crystal in his hand and muttered to himself, “Grandpa, how many secrets do you have hidden?”

At this moment, the monkeys seemed to sense the arrival of Grandma Jin Feng and gradually quieted down. They gathered around Grandma Jin Feng, their eyes revealing a hint of intimacy and dependence. Grandma Jin Feng gently patted the monkeys on the head and said to Zhang Chulan, Zhuge Qing and Luo Tian: “They have been silently guarding this valley and the secrets he left behind, and their contributions are indispensable.”

Zhang Chulan scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: “Granny Jinfeng, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have treated these monkeys like that just now, I just… I was just obsessed with money for a while.” (End of this chapter)
