Chapter 67 The Monkey King Offers Wine
The red-faced ghost's forehead was smashed by the Monkey King, and he died suddenly on the spot. The red ghost flag lost its magical power immediately without its owner's prompting. It floated down leisurely from mid-air and was caught by Liang Yan. The black wooden pile became a dead thing, the surrounding black mist wall had long since dissipated, and the six little ghosts also atomized and disappeared at the same time.
Whoosh! With a sound that broke through the air, it was Liang Yan who rushed to Li Xiran. The blood on her waist had stained half of her clothes, and blood was spitting out of her mouth. Her face was pale and haggard, and she was struggling to get up from the ground.
However, his injuries were too severe. He tried to get up from the ground several times, but fell down tremblingly.
Liang Yan couldn't bear it, so he quickly stepped forward and helped her sit up.
"Why are you doing this?" Liang Yan sighed.
"It is our monks' duty to eliminate demons and protect the Tao." Li Xiran leaned against a huge rock and panted slightly.
"Have you ever thought that monks like us only seek eternal life and happiness? If you are so determined, if you make one wrong step in the future, you will die and there will be no more Li Xiran in the world?" Liang Yan asked again.
Li Xiran closed his eyes and replied: "If you are lacking in Taoism and have regrets in your heart, you will not be happy even if you live forever."
Liang Yan's heart moved when he heard what he said, and he looked at her deeply.
This woman is already seventeen or eighteen years old, and her pretty face is innocent and cute, like a girl. But on such a cute face, there is always a serious and solemn expression, as if he will not stop until he kills all the evil spirits in the world.
"Should I say that this woman's personality is too serious, almost dull?"
Liang Yan thought to himself, but then he thought that he was not worthy of commenting on her, so he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You can rest here for a while, I will go and undo the evil spells for those people first."
Liang Yan used his Buddhist magical power to remove the evil spell for more than a hundred people. However, the more than 20 people who had stayed in the cave before were unable to save themselves because the spell lasted too long.
There were too many people this time, and it took Liang Yan an hour to complete all the explanations at Liang Yan's speed. These people woke up as if from a dream. After listening to Liang Yan's explanation, they thought they had been drugged by bandits and had been poisoned by him. Passers-by were rescued, so they thanked each other and went down the mountain.
After the last group of people had left, Liang Yan turned around and walked towards Li Xiran. But when he looked from a distance, he saw a tall figure beside Li Xiran. It turned out to be the Monkey King who had returned.
Liang Yan was secretly shocked. He had just devoted himself wholeheartedly to the process of solving spells for people, but he didn't even notice the Monkey King approaching. Although they were united front just now, after all, the beast's heart is far apart, so there is no guarantee that he has no evil intentions at this moment.
He sped up and rushed to Li Xiran's side, asking: "How are you, are you okay?" He glanced at the Monkey King intentionally or unintentionally.
Li Xiran knew he was worried, so he just smiled lightly and said, "You're here. The Monkey King said he wanted to thank you."
"How do you know?" Before Liang Yan could finish speaking, he saw the monkey king standing in front of him and inserting the ebony stick into the ground. He arched his hands, actually imitating human appearance and bowing to him.
Liang Yan was speechless for a moment. He didn't accept this gift, and he didn't accept it either.
You have to admit, the fight against the red-faced ghost mainly relied on the Monkey King and Li Xiran, and he didn't contribute much. Moreover, before he came, he was clearly thinking about how to fight these monkeys and steal their monkey wine. He could say that he deserved this gift.
I don't think so, but I can't figure out the habits of these animals, and it won't be worthwhile if I offend them.
Liang Yan had no choice but to bow to the Monkey King.
The man and the monkey stood opposite each other. Although their body shapes were more than twice the size, they bent over and bowed their heads, and they kept bowing to each other.
"Pfft" made Li Xiran laugh. But her smile touched her heart, and she immediately coughed again, bringing out a few mouthfuls of blood.
Liang Yan came back to his senses and said worriedly: "You are so seriously injured that ordinary pills may not be able to save you. Your sect master is nearby. How about I take you to find them?"
Li Xiran coughed and said: "No, my sect is too far away from here, and the teacher is not nearby. But don't worry, the Monkey King just said there is a way to help me heal my injuries."
"What?" Liang Yan didn't react for a moment and wanted to ask more questions. But I heard a sound of footsteps in the forest, and then a group of huge monkeys emerged from it. There were more than twenty of them, some were big and some were small. The smallest one was just a newborn baby monkey, lying on a mother monkey's back. in his arms.
One of the young monkeys came out of the crowd, circling around Liang Yan's feet, dancing excitedly as he ran, and kept croaking.
Although Liang Yan was conceited and not stupid, he was absolutely unable to communicate with a monkey. Just when he was looking embarrassed, he suddenly heard Li Xiran say:
"It praises you as a great hero and says that in the future, you will succeed in practice and become a person like you!"
"What? Do you understand monkey language?" Liang Yan asked with a suspicious look on his face.
Li Xiran smiled slightly and said: "Everything has a spirit. If you understand it with your heart, you can naturally gain samadhi."
As soon as she finished speaking, the monkey king pointed at the group of monkeys again, and saw four monkeys coming out of the team to take orders and run back into the forest.
"What is it talking about?" Liang Yan asked curiously.
Li Xiran pursed his lips and smiled and said: "You will know it yourself after a while."
Liang Yan was puzzled, but he had no choice but to wait where he was. Not long after, he saw the four monkeys coming back again, carrying a huge wine vat on their shoulders.
The four monkeys swayingly placed the wine jar in front of Liang Yan, then climbed up and opened the sealing altar above, and a strong aroma of wine instantly filled the air. Even though Liang Yan never drank alcohol, he had no doubt that the taste was sweet and fragrant, and it was truly the best in the world.
"Monkey wine!" Liang Yan lost his voice.
Li Xiran on the side smiled and said: "The red-faced ghost originally planned to seize its monkey brain and destroy its tribe. The monkey king thanked us for helping it destroy its enemies, and originally intended to give us this 'monkey wine' as a thank you."
"So that's it." Liang Yan was overjoyed and nodded: "Then Liang will be disrespectful."
He glanced at Li Xiran and said, "What about you? Won't you go down the mountain with me?"
Li Xiran shook his head and said: "I was too seriously injured. Just now the Monkey King told me that there is a medicinal spring in the back mountain that can help monks heal their injuries. Usually when they are seriously injured, they are allowed to enter the medicinal spring to heal. It invited me to go, and it also It’s a way of thanking me for helping.”
While she was speaking, she had already been helped to stand up by several monkeys. She glanced at Liang Yan and continued: "Thanks to Brother Liang for helping me with this matter, otherwise I alone would not be able to kill the red-faced ghost. There were many offenses before, Please don't take it personally, Brother Liang." He bowed and reluctantly bowed to Liang Yan.
Liang Yan waved his hands hurriedly and said, "Fellow Daoist Li, Daxia Li, please don't do this again. We are already friends, but we are still close friends. If you use such vulgar etiquette again, are you looking down on me, Liang Yan?"
Li Xiran smiled brightly after hearing this and said happily: "Okay! Brother Liang! Then we will meet again later."
"See you later!" Liang Yan also smiled.
The two said goodbye to each other, and the monkey group supported Li Xiran and walked slowly into the jungle step by step.
Liang Yan watched her back until she disappeared from sight, and thought to himself: "This woman is quite a strange person, but it's just that if I meet her, she will do nothing good. I'm afraid she will either fight to the death with this evil demon, or fight with some demon to win or lose. Tsk tsk, it's better not to see her. !”
He cursed secretly, turned around and saw the large vat of Monkey Wine again, and was filled with sighs in his heart. He originally planned to attack the Monkey King to seize the Monkey Wine, but instead of fighting against the Monkey King, they stood together to defend against the enemy. As a result, due to a strange combination of circumstances, I finally got this large vat of monkey wine.
Liang Yan felt greatly relieved and raised his hand to put the wine jar into his storage bag. He thought: "In any case, I have obtained the first of these three things - 'Monkey Wine'."
