Shaw Danon climbed up the mountain and came to the familiar bamboo forest. The mountain was covered with green, layer upon layer. The wind blew, the bamboo sea rose and fell like the waves of the sea. His mind was immediately broadened.
He took a deep breath of the fresh mountain air, stretched his body, and walked into the bamboo forest with the hatchet in hand. The place he was heading to now was different from when he had first arrived three years ago. It was the deepest part of the bamboo forest. There were many large bamboos there, and the bamboo was even harder.
In the early morning, a light mist floated in the forest like a veil. On the green bamboo leaves on both sides of the path, there were crystal clear dewdrops, beautiful and pure.
After walking for a while, he found himself in the middle of a green sea. Most of the Black Bamboo here were tall and had luxuriant branches and leaves that pierced straight into the sky. Light shone through the gaps between the branches and leaves, leaving patches of shadows on the ground. Shaw Danon looked left and right, picked up a big black bamboo, drew a picture, then raised his sword to chop.
"Poof", suddenly a muffled sound. Shaw Danon felt a pain in his head. Something hit his forehead. He looked down and saw a pine cone rolling on the ground. This place was surrounded by Black Bamboo. There were a lot of bamboo shoots, but definitely no pine cones.
He thought for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face. He looked around and shouted, "Senior Sister, is that you?"
His voice traveled far into the bamboo forest, but no one answered for a long time. Shaw Danon knew his shijie was always mischievous and liked to tease people. Just when he was about to shout again, his head suddenly hurt again. It was extremely painful. He was hit by a pine cone again. Above his head, there was a "squeak squeak squeak" sound.
Shaw Danon endured the pain and looked up. On the Black Bamboo, there was a grey monkey holding several pine cones in its hand. Its tail was hanging upside down on the bamboo branch. It was laughing shrilly, as if it was taking pleasure in Shaw Danon's misfortune.
Shaw Danon was startled. For the past three years, he had never seen a monkey in the bamboo forest. Bamboo Peak was mostly covered with bamboo forest. Only a pine and cypress forest was in the deep valley. It seemed like the monkey lived there. Why did it come to the mountain today?
Big Bamboo Peak was tall and precipitous, although it was not as high as Tong Tian Peak, it was still straight into the sea of clouds. Climbing up from the foot of the mountain, there was almost no way to go, Qing Yun sect disciples mostly flew up. Shaw Danon's cultivation is shallow. Aside from chopping bamboo, he also heard his shixiongs talk about it. In the deep valley behind Bamboo Peak, there is a forest of pine and cypress trees. It is deep and unfathomable. Back then, Big Bamboo Valley's founder also sent people to explore the deep valley but it was only a primeval forest and nothing strange happened. Instead, there were more ferocious beasts and poisonous insects but they never left the valley so all these years it was peaceful.
As he was thinking, he suddenly saw the monkey raise his hand. His heart skipped a beat and he quickly moved his hand away. Sure enough, another pine cone came crashing down. If he didn't dodge, he would suffer again.
The grey monkey screamed when he saw Shaw Danon dodged. It seemed to blame Shaw Danon for dodging.
Shaw Danon made a face at the monkey, ignored it and walked away. He thought it was rare for the monkey to hit people for fun. What an ignorant beast. He took two steps, suddenly heard the sound of the wind behind his ear. "Poof", the back of his head was hit by the hard pine cone. This time the force was not light. Shaw Danon could only feel his vision darkened. He could not help but cry out.
The monkey was clapping and laughing on the bamboo branch, swaying back and forth, very happy. Shaw Danon was furious. He rushed toward the bamboo and shook it violently. The large Black Bamboo swayed left and right. But the grey monkey only wrapped its tail around the bamboo and let Shaw Danon shake it. It was not afraid at all. Instead, it kept "squeaking" and laughing.
Shaw Danon saw he couldn't do anything to the monkey. He was even more angry. He pulled out the hatchet and chopped at the bamboo. The monkey was not afraid at all. It only looked at him with interest from the bamboo.
Shaw Danon's head was sweating. When he was about to succeed, he suddenly heard a scream from the bamboo. He looked up and saw the grey monkey swung its tail and jumped to another Black Bamboo. Then it threw a pine cone down.
Shaw Danon was angry. He didn't care if the monkey could understand. He pointed at it and shouted: "If you have guts, come down."
The grey monkey scratched its head and thought for a long time. It probably still didn't understand what guts meant. It just laughed and made a face at Shaw Danon.
Shaw Danon was angered to death, but there was nothing he could do. That day he barely finished his homework, but his head was hit by the monkey seven or eight times, it was very painful.
Shaw Danon was filled with anger. He went down the mountain and ignored the monkey. Unexpectedly, the monkey was addicted to it. It waited in the bamboo forest for several days. Once Shaw Danon came to cut bamboo, it would hit him for fun. It was very happy to see Shaw Danon's angry face.
Before dinner, Hidi pulled Shaw Danon aside and secretly asked: "Xiao Fan, what happened to your head?"
Shaw Danon had been bullied by the grey monkey for several days. His head was hit black and blue. It was very painful. But he felt it was embarrassing to be played by a monkey, so he didn't tell anyone. Now that Shijie asked, he hesitated, then told her.
Tian LingEr's red lips flattened, she could not help but laugh out, two little dimples appeared on her cheeks, she was really beautiful. Shaw Danon seemed to be teased by her or something else. His face became hot and he lowered his head.
Hidi patted Shaw Danon's shoulder, said: "Don't worry, Xiao Shidi. These days, Mother wants me to practice in the Tai Chi Cave to prepare for the" Seven Peaks Tournament "in two years. I didn't expect you would be bullied by a monkey. Don't worry. Tomorrow I will accompany you up the mountain and teach that bad monkey a lesson. "
Her tone was like an elder coaxing a child. But Shaw Danon was used to it. He smiled bitterly and didn't mind.
The next morning, Hidi really got up early and went to the back mountain with Shaw Danon.
The cool mountain breeze, blew gently, Tian LingEr was dressed in red, just like when she and Zhang XiaoFan went up the mountain to chop bamboo for the first time, skipping and walking in front. Shaw Danon followed. The beautiful girl in front of him was like a red cloud, gently floating in the mountain. With the mountain wind, there seemed to be a faint fragrance.
His heart was in a trance. He suddenly had a feeling that he could walk down like this forever.
When he was lost in thought, Hidi was already far away. She turned her head and shouted: "Xiao Fan, why are you so slow!"
Shaw Danon woke up. His face blushed. He didn't dare to think more and quickly caught up.
They came to the bamboo forest. Hidi said to Shaw Danon: "Xiao Fan, you go in first. I will follow behind."
Shaw Danon nodded. He took the hatchet and went in. After a few steps, he suddenly remembered he should tell Hidi to be careful. He turned around, but she was already gone.
He was startled. There was an inexplicable confusion in his heart. Then he shook his head, threw away those boring thoughts, and walked into the bamboo forest. When they arrived at the destination, the forest was quiet. Shaw Danon looked around, but he couldn't find the grey monkey. He whispered in his heart: Don't let the monkey know that he found a helper and didn't dare to come.
He thought to himself and looked around, but he could not find any trace of the monkey. It was useless, so he walked over to a Black Bamboo and pretended to chop it down.
"Squeak squeak squeak squeak." Suddenly, a familiar scream came from above.
Shaw Danon jumped away reflexively, but his head was in pain, but it was too late. He was hit by a pine cone, very painful. Shaw Danon lifted his head and saw the grey monkey was hanging upside down on the bamboo as usual, laughing.
His heart was filled with joy. He jumped up, pointed at the monkey and laughed: "Haha, you finally came!"
His voice was not loud, but the monkey was surprised by him. He thought that this person was usually angry when he was hit. Why was he so happy today? Could it be that after being hit by me for a few days, he got addicted to it? If he didn't hit, he would feel uncomfortable. But when it hurts, he is happy?
Just at this moment, a red shadow suddenly flashed in the middle of the bamboo forest, Tian LingEr stepped on the "Amber Vermillion Silk", flew through the air, as fast as lightning, her five fingers formed a claw, grabbed towards that monkey.
Unexpectedly, the monkey was extremely quick-witted. With a glance from the corner of its eye, it immediately reacted. Its tail that was wrapped around the bamboo branch immediately loosened, and its entire body fell down. Tian LingEr had calculated all the directions that it would escape to in order to chase after it, but she did not expect that the grey monkey would actually fall down. She could not help but was startled for a moment and grabbed onto empty air.
