"Zhizhi, Zhizhi." A familiar voice sounded, and Hai Long subconsciously turned to the side of a big tree beside him. However, unlike usual, there was no expected fruit thrown over today. Hai Long found that his hand had touched his waist reflexively, but today's bag was empty.

"Zhi Zhi, Zhi Zhi." A gray-brown figure jumped in front of Hai Long, a pair of small red eyes flickering around.

Hai Long squatted down and said with a smile: "Little Jiling, why didn't you hit me with fruit today. Is your injury healed?" While speaking, he grabbed Xiaojiling's body and looked at his wound from yesterday. Zizhi is really miraculous, there is not even a trace of the wounded area yesterday, and the gray-brown monkey hair has grown out.

Little Witty blinked his eyes, shook his head first, then nodded again, making Hai Long confused. With a whoosh, the little wit jumped onto Hai Long's shoulder, then flipped and landed in front of him and waved at him.

"What are you doing? Take me to eat fruit? Okay! Anyway, I'm fine. If there's something good to eat, I'll take a few back to the masters. Those guys are so lazy that they want me to serve them every day. "While speaking, Hai Long took a light step and landed next to Xiaojiling.

Little Witty was taken aback by Hai Long's speed, and looked up and down at him in surprise. Hai Long said triumphantly: "It's amazing. This is a new trick I learned. If you still fight with me, you will definitely beat the shit out of me."

The little wit curled his lips, made a grimace at Hai Long, unfolded his figure, and went towards the depths of the fruit forest as quickly as a star pill.

Although using mana to increase his speed a lot, how could Hai Long compare to the innately superior little wit? No matter how Hai Long pushed his mana to the limit, he still couldn't catch up to the gray-brown figure. Little Witty seemed very strange today, he would stop and wait for Hai Long after running for a while, and when he saw that Hai Long was approaching, he sped up and ran forward again. Before they knew it, they had passed through the fruit forest and entered the most primitive forest behind Moyunping.

"Hey, little clever, where are you taking me! I can't run anymore. This place is like a maze, I can't remember the way I came here, how can I go back!"

The little witty was running happily, showing no sign of being tired at all, when he heard Hai Long's words, he stopped, pointed to the front and then to himself, screaming non-stop.

Hai Long sighed helplessly, and said: "Okay, okay, I will risk my life to accompany the gentleman, but if you don't find me something good to eat, I will let you come back behind my back."

The little witty made an angry gesture towards Hai Long, turned his head and continued to run forward.

After turning over two more dirt slopes, just when Hai Long was about to lose his hold, he heard a strange sound. It was the same voice as a little ghost, with squeaky screams one after another, accompanied by the rustling of branches and leaves, it sounded very lively. Hai Long immediately understood, panted and smiled and said, "Well, little cleverness, you are really good at bringing me to your monkey den."

Hearing the cries of the same kind, the little wit was very excited, turned several somersaults in the air, and yelled loudly.

Following Little Witty through more than a dozen dense trees, Hai Long came to a world of monkeys. Looking around, this place is simply a sea of monkeys. No matter in the trees or under the trees, there are monkeys of different shapes jumping up and down everywhere. Some are chasing each other, some are fighting each other. The most interesting thing is that some little monkeys They are picking lice for the big monkey. In this uncontested world, they have a great time playing. In the middle of this forest, there is a large protruding rock. The rock is about ten meters high and covers an area of about 100 square meters. In front of the rock is a clear spring, gurgling, and the clear water gathers not far from the huge rock, forming a small pool. cold. I thought to myself, this monkey spring should be the source of life for these monkeys, no wonder they gather here.

The arrival of outsiders immediately made the monkeys vigilant. Some big horse monkeys that were close to the height of a person quickly rushed to the vicinity of Hai Long, bared their teeth, and showed a demonstration, obviously not welcoming him. The other monkeys also looked at him unfriendly. Seeing him frightened for a while, not to mention the large number of monkeys here, I am afraid that a strong big horse monkey is not something he can deal with. Thinking of this, Hai Long couldn't help regretting coming here with the little wit.

At this moment, Little Witty suddenly jumped up from the ground and landed on Hai Long's shoulder. One monkey paw was placed on Hai Long's head to stabilize his body, while the other monkey paw swung vigorously and hissed loudly.

After listening to the clever 'monkey language', the big horse monkeys' hostility weakened, and they whined a few times before retreating a little further. But their vigilance obviously didn't change, almost all the monkeys stopped playing and set their eyes on Hai Long, an outsider.

The little wit patted Hai Long's head, then pointed to the mirror-like small lake, and signaled Hai Long to go over.

Taking a deep breath, Hai Long calmed down the uneasiness in his heart, since he has come here, he should listen to the little wit. No matter what, I saved it yesterday, so it won't hurt me. While thinking, Hai Long walked slowly towards the water pool.

The group of monkeys who had been calm just now became agitated again when they saw Hai Long walking towards the water pool, and the mountains and forests trembled with their shrill cries. "Squeak—" a sharp voice came out from Xiaoji Ling's mouth, the sound was extremely penetrating, and he stood out from the screams of many monkeys, and he seemed to be extremely angry.

The big horse monkey that was about to pounce on it stopped, and all the monkeys looked at the little cleverness with some fear. But even so, they still seemed unwilling to let Hai Long approach the pool.

"What are you little fellows doing? If a guest comes, let him come over." An old voice sounded from the direction of the pool, the voice was pure and infectious. When the monkeys heard this sound, they all backed away like a discouraged ball, giving way to Hai Long.

The little clever screamed a few times proudly, and pointed to the water pool again.

Hai Long thought to himself, how could there be someone in this group of monkeys? Could it be someone from our Lian Yunzong? He cast his gaze to the pool. Surprisingly, I found that there was not even a single monkey within ten meters around the pool. There was a man sitting on the edge of the pool with his back facing him. He was wearing a big cloak that completely covered his whole body including his head. .

Without the obstruction of the monkeys, Hai Long quickly walked behind the weird man, and the little witty jumped off his shoulders and ran to the side of the weird man, chirping and chirping, as if talking about something.

Hai Long tentatively asked: "Senior, is this your place? I came here with Xiaojiling by accident, please don't be surprised." After all, this is someone else's place, and those big and strong monkeys have the power to threaten them. Seeing the ability of his life, Hai Long naturally became polite.

The old voice sounded again, "Is this the name you gave it?"

Hai Long nodded and said: "Yes! We have known each other for a long time, and we play together every day. I think it is weird and elf, so I named him this. Senior, what is the relationship between these monkeys and you? Why? They listen to you so much."

Thinking of it with a deep laugh, the strange man said: "They are all my children, thank you for saving my little grandson's life yesterday."

Hai Long secretly laughed in his heart, if these monkeys are your children, then aren't you an old monkey? Although I thought so in my heart, I said on my mouth: "What happened yesterday is actually my fault. I accidentally knocked it off the tree and hurt him. Helping it heal is the right thing to do."

The strange man suddenly laughed, "Actually, you don't have to pretend to be in front of me. No matter what kind of person you are, just because you are willing to use five-grade Zizhi to treat my little grandson's injury proves that you are The essence is kindness. Just this is enough. There is nothing wrong with doing as you please."

Hai Long was slightly taken aback, and said: "Are you also a cultivator? You can see through my inner thoughts, which proves that your cultivation level is similar to that of my master!"

The weird man snorted, and said, "You mean that kid Daoming, right? Compared with me, what is he worth? But, speaking of it, I can indeed be counted as a cultivator, but the method is comparable to yours. Yun Zong is just different. Since my little grandson brought you here, I will always give you some benefits, as a thank you for the fifth-grade Zizhi you gave it. Just say what you want. I will try my best to satisfy you. You Since you are a cultivator, I have many treasures that will be suitable for you."

Hearing the weird man's words, Hai Long's heart moved, but he dismissed his inner thoughts in an instant, shook his head, and sighed softly: "I saved Xiaojiling because he is my friend, and I never thought of asking for anything in return." .If I ask for something from you, it seems like I'm trying to be clever or something, I don't like this feeling."

The strange man's body trembled slightly, and he could tell that Hai Long's words came from the heart without any affectation. But he still couldn't help asking: "Would you like to see a little monkey as a friend?"

Hai Long said: "What's the matter? As long as I like it, even snakes, mice, rats and ants can be friends. Everyone is life, and who is not superior to the other? Everyone has their own abilities. For example, in the mountains Run, I am far worse than the little wit, of course, my brain is much smarter than it, hehe."

Hearing Hai Long's words, the little wit bared his teeth in dissatisfaction.

The strange man sighed softly, and said, "Okay, very good. Even cultivators, there are very few people who can treat life as equally as you. In fact, neither Daoming nor I can really understand what you are thinking. It’s just to use the Taoism’s other mental powers to see if you’re lying. With your heart, it should be the most suitable for such things.” A black light flew out from the strange man, and slowly flew towards Hai Long .

Hai Long stretched out his hand subconsciously, and took the thing into his hand. As the black light subsided, Hai Long felt his hand sink, and when he looked closely, it was just a small iron rod about the length of his palm. But the weight is not light, it is heavier than the hatchet he used to chop wood, it seems to weigh nearly twenty catties. "Senior, what is this? I said, I don't want anything."

The weirdo laughed, and said: "I didn't say that this is a reward for you! I gave it to you because I like you. Accept it, and when your cultivation reaches a certain level in the future, you will naturally use him." .”

Hai Long fiddled with the small iron rod a few times, and said, "Okay, I'll accept it. Although it looks ordinary, its weight is very unusual. Senior, is this a special ore? ?" It didn't feel like something precious, Hai Long put it into his arms casually.

The weird man said: "You don't have to worry about what it is, you will understand it when you have enough cultivation."

Hai Long secretly laughed in his heart, but it was just a small iron rod, what's so mysterious, he responded disapprovingly.

"Well, you can go now. Come here with Little Witty tomorrow morning. Remember, you must practice Tianxin Jue well, it is indeed a very good method of cultivation."

Hai Long nodded, and said: "Then I'm leaving." The little wit jumped to Hai Long's side as if he was very happy, pointed to the way he came, and ran out first. Hai Long took a deep look at the strange man, from the beginning to the end, he did not see the face of this mysterious strange man. Suppressing the curiosity in his heart, he shook his head helplessly, turned around and chased after the little ghost.

Just after leaving the place where the group of monkeys lived, Hai Long heard a weird voice again, "Don't tell anyone what happened today."

Hai Long stopped and shouted towards the group of monkeys: "I see. I won't tell others about seeing you. Thank you for giving me the iron rod."

When the little wit sent Hai Long back to Moyunping, it was just lunch time, everything was as usual, there was nothing special about it. After lunch, Hai Long returned to his room. He took out the small iron rod from his pocket and looked at it carefully. The dark stick body has no lines at all, no matter how he looks at it, he can't feel anything special.

He casually tucked the iron rod back into his arms, and was just about to start today's Tianxinjue practice, but suddenly heard a clear sound of breaking through the air from outside. An inexplicable pressure made him depressed for a while. Hai Long's first reaction was that an outsider came. Thinking of the beautiful Ling Feizi who came here a year ago, he suddenly felt hot, and ran out in three steps at a time.
