The three of them were all shocked, although they had been prepared, they were also frightened by this sound. The three of them stood in place, not daring to move, and only after a long time did they hear the boy come from Lu Dao,

"This must be a master! I just estimated that those withered branches and green fruits must have been thrown down the mountain from this place, and we really found the mountain man. But I don't know if this mountain man is hospitable, we have to be respectful and careful!"

Xiao Yi Baiqing nodded yes, and the three of them looked in the direction where the voice came from, only to see a cave faintly in the snow and mist, and the three of them looked at each other for a moment, and then pulled their legs and slowly walked towards the hole. Entering the cave, Tong Lu only felt that the more he walked inside, the more unbearable the heat became, and it was very different from the outside of the cave. Taking advantage of the faint light, Xiao Yi saw that there was a person sitting cross-legged on the ground in front of him, and saw that the person had a wide robe with big sleeves, and his clothes were pale yellow, although they were a little damaged, they were extremely clean. The top of the man's head was shining, and at first glance he knew that he was a monk. Xiao Yi stepped forward, took a few steps, and asked softly,

"Master, are you the master here......? Master?

The man did not speak, but remained motionless, and the three of them stepped forward together. Tong Lu's eyes were sharp, and he saw that it was an old monk, his right sleeve was empty, and there seemed to be only one left hand, he walked up to him and called softly, but there was still no response. He had a sense of foreboding, stretched out his hand to probe his nose, the whole person was instantly stunned, his face was pale, and he said for a long time.

"It's dead! Like, like he's just dead!"

Xiaoyi Bai Qingzheng was also frightened, he couldn't imagine that this old monk had passed away, Bai Qing was a little sad in his heart, thinking about letting him go to the ground. Xiao Yi looked around, it seemed that this old monk had fought with people here before his death, and then he found many traces of chains on the ground, and was puzzled, only to hear Tong Lu's "ah" scream, and was arrested. Xiao Yi chased after him, but was kicked and flew back. Xiao Yi was about to go up with a stick, only to hear a deep male voice coming slowly,

"Little doll, if you want to move again, I'll pinch him to death now!"

The voice was low, without a trace of emotion, but it was the most frightening, Xiaoyi's scalp was numb for a while, and he didn't dare to move again. Tong Lu was caught by that man, and he didn't dare to speak. But I heard the voice sound again,

"Look for the old monk and see if he has the key. ”

Xiao Yi listened to what he said, and touched the old monk's body, but did not find the key. Xiao Yi only found out at this time that the old monk only had one left hand, and the sleeve of his right hand was full of blood stains, and the color was slightly dark red, as if this hand had just been broken. He searched again before replying,

"Senior, I didn't find the key, and this master only has scattered Buddhist beads around him. ”

The voice didn't seem surprised, and said leisurely,

"You bring the monk's body over and replace this kid with him. ”

Xiao Yi Baiqing looked at the monk and was a little embarrassed, but the living were the greatest, so the two of them still carried the monk to the depths of the cave together. Suddenly, Tong Lu's figure flashed and was thrown out, Xiao Yi hurriedly put down the monk and caught Tong Lu, and the monk's body was instantly caught by the man. Tong Lu was frightened, his legs were weak, and he leaned on Xiao Yi and kept panting. The three of them hurriedly came out of the hole, Tong Lu suddenly squatted down, vomited out all the food in his stomach, and retched for a long time before he said,

"That person is so disgusting, I'm afraid he hasn't taken a shower in decades!"

After a little more vomiting, he continued,

"That man seems to be chained, and the key he is looking for is only hidden by this monk! This man is so strange, in my opinion, he must be a man of all kinds of evil, and we must not help him escape from here!"

Xiao Yi Baiqing nodded, and listened to him again,

"Another point, what is this that led us here, but it seems to be related to the monk, maybe not the enemy, let's always pay attention to the movement around us, we may find something. ”

Unconsciously, the night came, and Xiao Yi found a lot of firewood not far away, but the humidity was too heavy to make a fire. The three of them sat side by side on the edge of the hot spring, and although there was some fine snow, they didn't feel the chill at all. Strange to say, this night, there was no sound in the cave, and the three of them were extremely tired, but they slept beautifully by the edge of this spring.

Before dawn on the second day, the three of them were woken up by a loud roar.

"I know, haha, I know, haha!

I only heard the man's voice drift to him,

"Three little dolls, come in for a moment. ”

Tong Lu was naturally alert and said softly,

"This person must be the one who is evil, let's take care of it less, it's better to leave directly!"

I only heard the man in the cave laughing,

"The doll is so ruthless, you want to go up the mountain, but you can't do it without my help. How can you think that I am a wicked person, this monk killed countless people back then, and thought that he could wash away his sins by becoming a monk, which is really ridiculous. ”

Tong Lu's voice was extremely soft, but the person heard it word for word, and the three of them were stunned. And I heard the voice come slowly,

"This old monk did nothing evil, he hurt my eyes with poison, and trapped me here for ten whole years! Little doll, you have come in, and you must know the pain of burning at the stake. I can't see anything in my eyes, and I listen to the monk chanting the scriptures every morning to calculate the time, hehe, it's been more than ten years!"

The man's voice trembled slightly, and the three of them felt pity when they heard it. Bai Qing listened to him say that he was blind, and also wondered if there was a way to make him less painful. Then he said,

"I was born in the late Tang Dynasty and grew up in the early Song Dynasty. Less than twenty is already a hard time to match. The spirit is extremely high, and he fights people everywhere, hurting countless people, but he has never killed a single person. In a few years, there are many people in this martial arts who worship and hate me. Ten years ago, I traveled the world and came to this Dali country, the so-called wind and snow night, in fact, it is nothing more than that. I inadvertently learned about some secret affairs of Dali, and I was tragically harmed by poisonous schemes. ”

Bai Qing wondered,

"Why are the seniors also Song people?!"

Bai Qing said that he showed his mouth, and when the man heard it, he was also happy,

"The doll is also a Song person?!haha! Heaven will not kill me, heaven will not kill me! You three little dolls are my destined nobles. Come, untie this chain with me. ”

Tong Lu frowned and asked,

"Senior, there is still something unclear, can you tell me one or two?"

The man knew that the three of them were cautious, and they were not in a hurry, so they calmly replied,

"But it doesn't hurt to ask. ”

Tong Lu said slowly,

"The three of us went up the mountain yesterday, and it was a white living thing, and it seemed that we were helping us, but I am afraid that the thing is not all the way with you!"

I only heard the man laughing,

"You doll is a little interesting, with such a delicate mind. Then I'll talk to the three of you. It was a white ape, all white, which I had brought from the snow. In the Chongsheng Temple in Dali, the little white ape is sick and wilted, I am only afraid that he will not live, the old monk said that he has a way, so he brought me to the top of this snow peak. Within a few days, this white ape liked the cold and jumped up and down, and I relaxed my vigilance against this monk. Unexpectedly, I was negligent for a while, and I was drugged by this monk, and when I woke up, I was trapped here by the chain. ”

Tong Lu thought for a while and said,

"Then this white ape was familiar with you first, why did he become friendly with this master?"

The man smiled bitterly and said,

"At that time, the white ape was only a little more than a month old, so how could he know the master. The old bald man designed to harm me, blinded me and ruined my throat, so he easily deceived the white ape. He trapped me here, and rarely let the white ape into the hole, the bald man and the white ape have been together for more than ten years, and they have long been inseparable, and they often hear me roar but treat me as a wicked person, hey, the old bald man's intentions are too poisonous!

Tong Lu nodded,

"No wonder the seniors spoke so lowly, they were actually victimized. How can we rescue our predecessors now?"

The voice continued,

"I thought about it all night, and that's how it should be. You help me find the monk's right hand outside this cave, I can be useful. ”

The trio searched everywhere, but found nothing. Tong Lu thought for a while and said,

"I'm afraid that it was picked up by the white ape, let's not disperse, always pay attention to the white ape's movements. ”

Bai Qing stared at a little in the snow mist, pointed with his hand, and said softly,

"Look, it's there!"

Xiao Yi stepped forward to protect the two behind him, but Tong Lu grabbed it.

"White ape, you give us that right hand, and we let the master enter the earth for Anke?"

The white ape looked at the three of them indifferently, and Tong Lu kept dancing and gesturing, thinking that if he was a living creature, he would definitely be able to understand the meaning. Unexpectedly, the white ape was still staring at the three of them motionless. Xiao Yi pursed his lips, pointed at the white ape, touched his right hand, and pointed to the hole, and then made a splicing gesture, and the white ape actually whined! Tong Lu kept rolling his eyes, looking at Xiao Yi, and then at the white ape,

"Sure enough, this old man can figure it out with this beast!"

Xiao Yi gestured again, and the white ape's reaction was a little sluggish, but he also understood a general idea. It turned around and ran towards the cliff, while Xiao Yi and the three of them returned to the cave and moved the monk's body out. As soon as the white ape saw the monk, he hurriedly rushed to him, smelled left and touched the right, the monk did not respond, the white ape whimpered, so not sad, and the cold of the whole valley doubled. Seeing that it was strong and brave, the three of them couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Only then did the three of them see the white ape head-on, only to see that its cheeks, hands and feet were all white, and it was difficult to find its traces when it crouched in the snow. It is extremely strong, and if it stands up, it should be half a head taller than Xiao Yi. The white ape hugged the monk, got up and left, and an object slipped off it, which was an arm. The white ape was so sad that he didn't notice the arm in the slightest. It carried the monk's body to the edge of the cliff and flipped down. Xiao Yi and the three of them were shocked and came to the edge of the cliff to check, but they saw that the fog was filled, and there was no white ape. The three of them picked up the monk's right arm and came to the cave. Xiao Yi said softly,

"Senior, what do you want this master's right arm to do, why don't you let the white ape take it......"

A deep male voice sounded in the cave,

"Little doll, I'll return it when I use it. ”

Xiao Yi hesitated, gritted his teeth and handed his arm to the man. After a while, only the sound of iron locks and bones shattering was heard, and a thin wood-like figure slowly walked out. Xiao Yi only felt that this person was tall, half a head taller than himself, but he was a little thinner, and he didn't look so oppressive. He slowly moved forward, thinking that he had been blind for many years, and it was long since he could not tell the way forward. Xiao Yi and the three of them felt uncomfortable for him when they saw him like this.

He was ragged and staggered, clutching a black chain in his hand. He slowly walked out of the cave, reached the spring with his foot, and jumped in. The three of them followed behind, and they didn't dare to come out. Xiao Yi saw that his hair was messy, and it was mixed with the beard on his face, covering his cheeks, and he could only vaguely see the big rectangular face with Chinese characters. He was full of stench, and the three of them could smell it from afar behind him, and Tong Lu couldn't help but cover his nose.

The man soaked in the spring water and freshened up, and said softly

"Does the little doll have a sword, borrow it from me, and don't want this hair. ”

Tong Lu Huidao,

"Senior, I have a short knife here, which is often sharpened and extremely sharp, do you want to try it? ”

With that, he stepped forward, put the short knife on the edge of the spring, and slowly retreated. The man took the dagger and tried it, and chuckled softly,

"This can also be considered a good knife, but the doll said that it must be good, and it must be good!"

After saying that, the man shaved his hair with a knife, and in a short time, all the black hair on his head was shaved off, and his beard was already clean, and at first glance he looked no different from the monk. He threw all his clothes away and threw them to the fountain, and said slowly,

"Does the doll have clothes, how about lending me one? ”

Xiao Yi replied,

"Yes, yes, it's just that my predecessor is tall, but he has suffered for many years and is a little thinner, and now it should be just right to wear my clothes, but after a while, I am afraid that I will not be able to wear it. ”

The man came in laughing,

"No defense, no defense, just take it. The doll is convenient again, burying this tattered clothes, my eyes can't see, it's extremely inconvenient. ”

Xiao Yi listened to him with three points of pride, and he was not rude to the younger generation, and he immediately had a good impression. He took a change of clothes from his baggage and placed it beside the man. As soon as he looked up and saw this person's face, Xiao Yi only felt his heart flutter, and for some reason, a sense of reverence arose. I saw that the man was about thirty-four or five, with a generous face with Chinese characters, a broad forehead, thick eyebrows, a high eagle nose, and broad lips, like the fortune teller said that he was a great fortune. It's just that those eyes are half open, and the eyeballs and eyelids have long been integrated, and it is difficult to see the light again in this life. Since he had not seen the light of day for many years, the man's face was unusually white, but it did not affect his heroic temperament in the slightest.

Xiao Yi felt a sense of compassion, thinking that this person was a hero, but he was plotted, if he hadn't met the three of them, he was afraid that he would die here silently. Xiao Yi sighed lightly, dug a dirt pit not far from the edge of the cave, and buried the tattered clothes.

"Senior, what is your name, you must also be a famous person. Tong Lu squatted across the spring and looked at the man and asked.

"You three little dolls have a relationship with me, and I don't hide it, my real name is Ye Feng, so call me Uncle Feng in the future!"

When Tong Lu heard this, he was also a lot closer to that person, and then said happily,

"Uncle Feng, you must be a skill, can you teach us a thing or two, so that you will not be easy to be bullied in the future. ”

Ye Feng laughed,

"As far as you kid has a lot of eyes, when I recover for some time, I will definitely teach each other. Listening to your voice, I guess you are thin and weak, and you don't seem to like martial arts, so I will teach you some light body kung fu, and when you are in danger, you can also save your life and escape. But that kid just now is really a buildable material, maybe only a little worse than I was back then, and I will teach you some chain marksmanship in a few days. The little girl has a strong smell of medicine on her body, and she seems to have some medical skills, so she also practiced light body kung fu together. ”

He rubbed his upper body, and it turned out to be a large layer of mud. Tong Lu admired the five-body throw,

"I said Uncle Feng, you can recognize us just by hearing this?"

Ye Feng laughed,

"What's so hard about this! You don't have enough breath, anyone can hear it!"

Tong Lu was a little embarrassed, closed his mouth, and grimaced at Bai Qing. Ye Feng washed his face and said,

"Little girl, you come to check Uncle Feng's pulse and see how long I can live. ”

Xiao Yi nodded to Bai Qing, Bai Qing stepped forward to stroke his pulse, and then looked at Ye Feng's eyes, and said for a long time,

"Uncle Feng, your body is really good, the pulse is still stable and powerful after being trapped here for many years, although your eyes cannot be treated, and you can only spend this life in the dark, but if you recuperate with peace of mind, I am afraid that there will be no big problem if you live for another fifty years!"

Ye Feng laughed,

"Life is only a few decades, but I hate this bald man for wasting these ten years in vain. ”

After saying that, he touched his stomach and asked,

"Xiao Yi, do you have any meat to eat?!"

Xiao Yi touched his burden and said,

"There is fish, do you want to order it?"

Ye Feng said with a smile,

"I've eaten vegetarian fruit with this monk for ten years, but it suffocates me!

Xiao Yi smiled and handed the fish over. Ye Feng took a big bite and shouted that it was enjoyable. Xiao Yi and the three of them couldn't help but laugh when they saw him eating, only to see him bite after bite, the fish bones shattered, and not a single fish bone was spit out, and it only took a moment to eat all the fish.

"Oh, this tastes so beautiful. You Uncle Feng and I, I haven't been so comfortable for many years, I'll sleep first, the cave is warm and comfortable, you clean up, stay for a few days, and then talk to you when I wake up. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he snored loudly, and he fell asleep. Xiao Yi and the three of them listened to the sound up and down, and occasionally blew a wonderful tone, which was very funny. Xiao Yi only paid attention to Ye Feng just now, and only then did he notice the black chain, which was only the thickness of a wrist, and it didn't look special, but it was cold and unusually heavy to the touch, and it was extremely strong when I thought about it.

Next to the chain was a large lock, also black, about twice the size of an ordinary human head, and two large holes were supposed to be used to secure the prisoner's feet. Xiao Yi only barely mentioned it with one hand, if he was replaced by Tong Lu Baiqing, he was afraid that it would not be possible to do it with both hands. Xiao Yi flipped the giant lock over and made a loud sound, and Tong Lu approached when he heard the sound. I saw that there was a bone in the lock, and it seemed that it was a human hand, and the adults were shocked, and they never thought that the monk's right arm was embedded in the lock. Tong Lu thought for a moment,

"It turns out that this monk's right hand is the key to open the black lock, and there is no other solution. Well, it looks like it can only be used once, and the key has been broken in the lock and can no longer be used. If we are lucky enough to meet this locksmith, we will have to ask for advice. ”

Tong Lu sat by the spring and put his feet into the spring before continuing,

"This chain can trap Uncle Feng for so many years, it must not be ordinary. This monk was not killed by Uncle Feng until recently for some reason, and when he was dying, he cut off his right arm and let the white ape take it away, clearly wanting to trap Uncle Feng to death here, which is really vicious. But he never expected that someone would come here, find his arm and open the lock. ”

When Bai Qing heard this, he was also a little angry,

"I didn't expect this monk to look kind, but he was a great evil person, and he was still wearing a Buddhist robe, which was really insulting to the reputation of Buddhism. ”

Tong Lu sighed softly,

Maybe he stopped being evil after he became a monk, but he was unexpectedly involved by Uncle Feng again, so he had to imprison Uncle Feng here. Over the years, there should have been a lot of phone calls, but Uncle Feng is still living a good life until now, and this monk is afraid that he really wants to repent. ”

Xiao Yi Baiqing listened to what he said, and also felt reasonable, Xiao Yi thought for a moment,

"Do we want to stay here for a few more days, wait for Uncle Feng's body to recover, and then take him back to Dali City. He was blind, how could he get down the mountain alone. ”

Bai Qing agreed, and Tong Lu had no objection, so the three of them packed up their things and came to the entrance of the cave to rest. At this moment, a thing with a snow-white body was standing next to the spring, grinning at Ye Feng, it was the white ape. Xiao Yi hurriedly stepped forward, for fear that the white ape would hurt Ye Feng. Ye Feng didn't wake up, still snoring like thunder. The white ape was a little angry, and was about to step forward, but stopped again. It looked at Ye Feng, as if it was a little puzzled, and then let out a whimpering sound, Xiao Yi didn't know why, but seeing that it didn't mean to hurt people, he did it. I saw the white ape pull the chains, close his eyes and listen to the crisp sound, and then he actually wept. It stepped forward to pick up the lock, and ran quickly, and before going down the cliff, it glanced back at the people in the spring, and did not know whether it was joy or sorrow.

Tong Lu stepped forward and said softly,

"I heard that the first time these animals saw something, I regarded it as their biological mother, this white ape is very aura, although it has been ten years, but still remember Uncle Feng. At first, I was still skeptical that Uncle Feng was deceiving us, but I expected that this white ape would definitely not panic, so what Uncle Feng said should be true. Hey, the white ape is also puzzled, why the two masters want to hurt each other. One may be a lifesaver, and the other is with it all day, for ten whole years. In other words, it is difficult for people to choose, let alone a white ape with no chest. ”

The three of them stood on the edge of the cliff, silently watching the place where the white ape had disappeared. Suddenly, a strong wind struck, rolling up snow droplets and flying in, Xiao Yi pulled the two to the spring, but they couldn't call Ye Feng, so they went with him. The three of them sat in the cave, and it was easy to light the fire, and the night came, but there was not the slightest chill on this snowy peak.
