Chapter 175: White Ape Offers Fruit, Immortal Points the Way

The white ape was waiting under the tree.

Xiao Jie followed and said, "Senior, please go ahead."

The white ape said, "What are you talking about? We have just reached the beginning. Keep climbing." Then he leaped up the mountain again.

Xiao Jie looked up and saw that the mountain was probably more than a thousand meters high. It was shrouded in clouds and mist, and the top was completely invisible.

Do I have to climb all the way to the top of the mountain?
Now he understood why the white ape said that only he could do it, and ordinary people couldn't do it just by climbing the mountain.

Xiao Jie had no choice but to eat a piece of barbecue and continue climbing.

Fortunately, this mountain is not a straight one. Although it is high and steep, you can still see protruding rocks or concave mountain walls from time to time, where you can sit on them to rest and regain your strength.

After climbing up step by step for more than an hour, Xiao Jie finally reached the top of the mountain.

Looking down the mountain, the huge height makes people dizzy.

The surroundings were shrouded in clouds and mist. In front of him was a narrow ridge, but the front of the ridge was obscured by clouds and mist, and no one knew where it led to. The white ape was waiting for him not far away. Xiao Jie quickly followed and stopped in front of the white mist.

The white ape looked at the white mist in front of it, but seemed to be thinking about something.

"Senior, what exactly do you need me to do?" Xiao Jie asked impatiently.

The white ape said quietly, "You just told me a story. Now I will tell you a story too. This story is also about a monkey, but it is not a stone monkey born from heaven. It is just an ordinary little monkey. Its name is Maomao."

Xiao Jie was shocked. This white ape was indeed related to Maomao.

The white ape's gaze became distant and its voice became increasingly vague, as if it had returned to the old times.

"Maomao, watch out--!"

Cut in half with one stroke! Swish, three dead branches standing side by side were chopped off in unison.

"Come here." The woodcutter said as he handed over the hatchet in his hand.

Maomao scratched his head, looked at the hatchet in his hand, then looked at his owner who was looking expectant not far away, and raised the hatchet towards the branch.

With one cut, snap, a branch was cut off.

The woodcutter still nodded with satisfaction and said, "Haha, well done. Here, I'll give you a steamed bun." Maomao happily took the steamed bun and started to eat it.

Just as he finished eating the steamed bun, the woodcutter pushed the axe into his hand and said, "Keep going, don't stop. Just like before, you have to chop ten bundles of wood today. Once you learn how to do it, I won't have to work so hard in the future."

Maomao was a little confused by his master's voice and had no idea what he was saying.

I could only chop the wood one piece at a time.

However, it was not as strong as a human after all, and it accidentally hit the wood knot with a click. Instead of cutting off the branch, it broke the hatchet.

"Stupid, stupid, stupid, you can't even do this. Look, you broke the axe again! You're useless! You're such a useless thing! You can't be taught no matter what I do!" The woodcutter swung a branch and started beating him on the head. Maomao was so scared that he cried loudly, but he couldn't understand why his master was so angry and so scary.

The woodcutter sighed as he saw Maomao's frightened look. "It costs fifty coins to repair this axe, which is enough to buy ten steamed buns. If you keep doing this, how can we live in the future?"

"Just chop slowly first. I'll go see if there are any mushrooms. I'll make you some mushroom soup tonight."

After saying that, in order to prevent Maomao from escaping, the woodcutter simply tied the rope around Maomao's neck to a big tree.

Watching the woodcutter leave, Maomao immediately took action. Being beaten all day long had already made it angry and dissatisfied. As it watched its master leave, it cut the rope around its neck with a knife, turned around and fled into the forest ahead.

It and its owner often passed by that forest and had long noticed that there seemed to be many monkeys living in that forest. Every time it saw those monkeys living freely in the valley, it was envious. Wouldn't it be great if it could live freely in that forest?

So he went into the valley without hesitation...

After hearing this, Xiao Jie finally confirmed the truth of the matter, "So Senior Ape is Maomao? But why is Senior Ape so old..."

"I want to know - hey, if you want to know what happens next, please wait for the next episode."

"Ah!" Xiao Jie was speechless.

The white ape laughed loudly, and seemed to be very satisfied with Xiao Jie's reaction. "I was just joking with you. The story is not that long. Just continue listening..."

[Maomao looked tremblingly at the huge ape sitting on the stone platform. His sturdy muscles looked extremely scary.

Several monkeys behind it pushed it to the front of the big ape.

"My king, a monkey ran in from outside the valley."

The big ape picked up Maomao and looked at him, but his eyes fell on the hatchet in his hand.

Without saying a word, he snatched it away. "That's mine."

Maomao rushed forward to take it back, but was kicked away by the big ape.

The big wild ape snorted coldly, "What do you mean by yours and mine? I am the king of this Monkey Valley. Everything in this valley belongs to me. If you dare to shout again, I will send you to the canyon to feed the tree demon."

Maomao still wanted to fight, but an old monkey next to him grabbed him and left.

When they reached a secluded place without monkeys, the old monkey let go of his hand and said to him, "Little monkey, don't make the king angry. With your small body, the king can kill you with just one punch."

"Woo woo woo, I was bullied by my master before, and now I am bullied by other monkeys here. Why does it bully me?"

“This is the life of a monkey. Being a monkey is hard. How can life in this world not be bitter? Come, try this. It will no longer be bitter after you drink it.” He said as he handed over a gourd.

Maomao took a sip of the liquid in the gourd and immediately started grinning and jumping up and down.

"Hahaha, how is it? Isn't it delicious? This is the monkey wine I brewed myself."】

It turned out that the old monkey, the big wild ape and the white ape had such a past. Xiao Jie couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, but now everything has changed.

"What's next?"

The white ape sneered, "How can I accept this? I asked the old monkey how to control my own destiny. The old monkey told me that I must have strong enough power." As the white ape spoke, his eyes looked into the mist ahead, and his thoughts returned to the past again...

The old monkey said quietly, "Only with great power can you control your own destiny. Do you see that highest mountain? It is said that immortals live there. If you can find the immortals, you will definitely be able to find a way to change your destiny."

"Then why don't you go look for it?"

"Alas, I have tried, but the cliff is too high and too steep, no monkey can climb up. I broke my leg when I fell while climbing the mountain, and now I can't even climb a tree."

Maomao looked at the towering mountain with a determined look, "I can definitely climb it."

The next morning, Maomao got up early and took the gourd of monkey wine from the old monkey's arms.

He picked some more fruits from the tree, tied them around his body with a vine, and began to climb up the mountain. He fell several times at the beginning, but Maomao had an idea. He made a lasso with the rope used to tie the vine. When he encountered a protruding rock, he would dig the lasso up and hook it on it. This way he would not easily fall. He climbed like this for a whole day, and at night he finally reached the top of the mountain.

Then it came to a fog...】

"What's next?" Xiao Jie asked curiously.

The white ape chuckled, "You will have to see what happens next with your own eyes."

As he spoke, his expression suddenly became extremely serious: "Listen carefully, kid, this matter is very dangerous. If you don't handle it well, you will lose your life. You must remember my words."

Xiao Jie said quickly: "Senior, just give me your orders."

"Keep walking towards the fog ahead. Don't stay in the fog for too long, and don't pay attention to what you encounter in the fog. Just keep moving forward.

After passing through the sea of ​​fog, you will come to a mountain peak. On the mountain peak there is a pavilion where two people are sitting and playing chess.

One of the two men wore a white robe and the other wore a black robe.

Don't speak to those two people, just serve them. There is a low table next to them with some food and drinks on it. Put the fruits and drinks you prepared on it. If the immortal wants to drink, you serve him the wine. If he wants to eat fruit, you hand him the fruit. When they finish playing chess, you kneel down and ask for help.

Those two people ate your fruit and drank your wine, so naturally they would accept your favor, bear your karma, and agree to help you.

Then please help me ask a question.

The question is -

Why am I still unhappy even though I have great power and have become the monkey king of this valley? I think those monkeys are stupid, but I also think humans are too cunning and unreasonable. How can I live happily?

If they ask who asked, just say it was the white ape from the past, and the two will naturally understand.

Bring me back the answers those two people gave you, and I will then teach you my set of Illusionary Divine Swords."

As soon as the white ape finished speaking, a system prompt appeared in front of Xiao Jie.

System prompt: Trigger the adventure events [White ape offering fruit, immortal pointing the way].
