Golden Snub-nosed Monkey left the Mountain Villa and walked straight along the foot of the graveyard mountain, passing by the pond where Shen Ying had bathed before.
Further on, wild grass and wild trees grew densely.
Now in deep autumn, the wild grass had beco a golden color, resembling gold spread on the ground under the setting sun.
The wild trees growing in the wild grass had few leaves left on their branches, like the hair on a middle-aged man’s head, unable to be retained no matter how much one wanted to.
Of course, there were still many graves around this area.
Duan Yun and Shen Ying had never been here before.
Or rather, there were no paths here at all, it was desolate.
Monkey led them walking along the foot of the graveyard mountain, and eventually, even the graves disappeared.
That is to say, they were almost out of graveyard’s range.
This was also the first ti both of them got so idea of the scale of this graveyard mountain.
It was really big.
Duan Yun originally wanted to complain about the long route, but at that mont, the monkey made a strange cry.
This, however, stunned Duan Yun a bit.
Ahead, the path which was originally flat suddenly had a cliff.
From here, the cliff was bottomless, with clouds swirling below.
This change was truly a masterpiece of nature.
If one was not careful, they would fall off the cliff, shattering to pieces.
So pine trees stubbornly grew on the cliff.
At this mont, the monkey leaped downward, using the pine trees as stepping stones, heading towards the cliff.
Duan Yun and Shen Ying followed with their movent techniques.
For a mont, Duan Yun experienced the thrill similar to bungee jumping.
The mountain wind blew against them, causing their robes to flap loud and the clouds swirling beneath their feet, the cliff was bottomless, not knowing where it led.
After about fifty zhang in height, the monkey elegantly jumped and landed on a protruding rock on the cliff.
Behind the rock was a cave, half-covered by vines.
"Hmm?"
For a mont, Duan Yun felt like they had arrived at a place in a martial arts novel where the protagonist accidentally falls off a cliff and acquires Divine Skills.
Duan Yun and Shen Ying followed the monkey into the cave.
The cave was dimly lit, with strange rocks in the center making it difficult to see the depths clearly.
There was so stagnant water on the ground at the entrance of the cave, reflecting a faint gleam.
After Monkey bypassed two rocks, it emitted a squeaking noise.
In the next mont, Duan Yun and Shen Ying were both stunned, and Duan Yun even raised his elbow, ready to unleash Elbow Sword at any mont.
A tall figure lood there.
No, Duan Yun and Shen Ying then realized that the figure was not standing but sitting.
rely sitting, and yet almost as tall as they were standing.
It was an exceptionally tall white ape, with eyes wide open, leaning against a rock wall.
Duan Yun moved a bit closer and, with his observation as a gynecologist, he noticed the white ape was already dead.
A faint sll of blood perated the air, blending with the dim surroundings.
At this mont, the Golden Snub-nosed Monkey pointed towards the belly of the white ape.
Shen Ying walked over first and asked in confusion, "What?"
The Golden Snub-nosed Monkey then pointed towards the abdon of the ape.
Even though it was already dead, the tall white ape still gave a great sense of oppression.
"What is this?"
Duan Yun walked over and said, "Traces of stitching, its stomach was once cut open and then sewn back up."
As a professional gynecologist, he could understand this.
This plot...
The Golden Snub-nosed Monkey continued pointing at the belly of the white ape, waving its arms.
"Is the treasure inside?" Shen Ying "translated".
Monkey nodded.
Duan Yun pulled out Wen Rou and gently made a cut, slicing open the belly of the white ape.
"There really is sothing." Shen Ying exclaid in surprise.
Duan Yun picked it out, extracting a blood-drenched large bamboo tube.
Then, the lid of the bamboo tube was lifted, revealing a booklet rolled inside.
In the dim environnt, he squinted and saw, conspicuously written on the booklet, "romantic toy" in large characters.
"What toy?" Duan Yun exclaid, sowhat baffled.
Since entering this cliffside cave, he always thought he was carrying Zeng Aniu’s script, but now the the seed to have abruptly changed.
"romantic toy" sounded sowhat improper, similar to his collection "The Fall of the Goddess Constable."
But who would go to the boredom of sealing a colored book inside the belly of a white ape?
This white ape’s fur was wilted, and it looked to have been dead for so ti without any signs of decay, plus its trendously large body, brought a sense of supernatural terror.
This white ape must have encountered sothing extraordinary; it probably beca a spirit before it died.
Duan Yun took "romantic toy" out of the cave, stood on the stone platform and started perusing it to see if there were any illustrations.
After a while, he realized he might still be holding Zeng Aniu’s script.
"This is actually a Finger Technique." Duan Yun exclaid in amazent.
Shen Ying glanced at the title page and comnted, "romantic toy, this indeed is a Divine Skill."
"What?" Duan Yun asked, puzzled.
"Have you ever heard of the person nad Heavenly Clothes Charm Wang Fengfeng?" Shen Ying inquired.
"Wang Fengfeng?"
"No, Wang Fengfeng."
Seeing Duan Yun looking confused, Shen Ying knew he hadn’t heard of him, and suggested, "Let Murong explain it to you when we get back."
Duan Yun asked in confusion, "Why don’t you tell ?"
"I’m thirsty, and I don’t want to talk," Shen Ying replied.
"Hmm?"
"We’ve walked such a long way, and I forgot to bring water, aren’t you thirsty?"
Duan Yun nodded and said, "I’m not just thirsty, I’m also a bit hungry."
Right then, he couldn’t help but speak towards the cave entrance, addressing Monkey, "Monkey, is that it? If that’s all, let’s head back."
Monkey nodded and then led them back.
The pitch-black cave suddenly returned to silence, appearing deep and mysterious.
In the evening, the Golden Snub-nosed Monkey ca back alone.
It passed by the huge corpse of the white ape without any halt, heading straight deeper into the cave.
In the pitch-black cave, there hid a crevice just wide enough for a person to advance.
The Golden Snub-nosed Monkey crawled through.
A mont later, the space ahead suddenly opened up.
But just then, the Monkey’s body stiffened.
In the cave beyond the crevice, two people were squatting.
One had a string of bright red tubercles atop their head, looking like a chicken’s crown.
The other was well-proportioned with bright eyes but more terrifying, he was inserting a tube into a monkey’s skull, continuously sucking.
The monkey, clearly terror-stricken, dared not move, only letting him suck out his brain.
"Monkey, stop sucking, it’s going to be drained dry, after so many years, how could you still be so cruel to your own kind?" the one with the chicken crown said.
"Cruel? You call this cruel?"
The man with bright eyes fiercely sucked once more, and a hollow echo ca from the skull of the monkey, sounding extrely creepy.
"When I suck Old Demon Duan, I’ll show you what cruelty is."
As he spoke, he revealed a smile.
His vivid gum showing out in the dim cave, looking incredibly creepy.
