[Journey to the West] Monkey, be good

The monkey stood on the shore, narrowed its eyes slightly, raised its chin not far away, and said, "Huanxi, look there."

Ben Xianjun looked upstream, and saw a thin and transparent milky white paper-like object flowing down the clear and shallow stream.It is far away, and it is hard to see what it is, but it is refracted under the water with a white cold light, which makes people feel a bit chilly.

"That's it?" Ben Xianjun glanced at the monkey, and the monkey shook his head.

Soon the thing floated along the flowing water in front of me. I rolled up my sleeves again, exposing half of my arms, and leaned down to catch the paper-like thing, but the stream water The bone-piercing temperature made this fairy feel terrified.I was bending over, and before my hand touched the water, a white shadow passed by, and there was nothing in the water.

Ben Xianjun paused, and turned around to see that the thing was in the hands of the monkey.He pinched his fingers together, with no expression on his face, and looked at the wet skin in the sunlight.

Ben Xianjun got up, put down his sleeves, and walked towards the monkey.

The monkey flipped his free hand, and handed it to me a cotton square, saying, "Wipe off the cold water on your hands first."

"..." Ben Xianjun was taken aback, looking at the snow-white veil and hesitated for a moment.

The monkey saw that I didn't answer and didn't speak.He wrapped this fairy's red fingertips with a square scarf, and gently dipped the water on them.

"Actually... I'll just lay it on my body and rub it for a while." Maybe the monkey was just out of kindness, but for the first time in thousands of years, it was the first time in thousands of years that I was being served to wipe my hands, and I was somewhat embarrassed.

The monkey didn't think there was anything wrong. He put away the scarf before showing me what he was holding, "What do you look like?"

"Well... let me take a look." Ben Xianjun said, holding the thing in his hand for a closer look.

The thing is as thin as a cicada's wing, the size of an open palm, the tentacles are warm and delicate, and there are four extremely symmetrical holes dug in it.

"Whether it feels or looks...it's a bit like a human|skin|mask|mask that mortals can easily use, and both the texture and the workmanship are top-notch." Ben Xianjun said.

Monkey smiled lightly, "Look again."

"Is there something wrong...?" Ben Xianjun stretched out the mask, raised it to the sunlight, and immediately his hairs stood on end.

Although the skin is delicate, small pores and broken hair can still be seen close to the hairline, and the skin lines on the nose and lip corners are also clearly discernible.Mortals make simulated human|skin|| masks that are mostly poured with resin rubber. Even if the workmanship is so fine that it is fake, it will never be able to imitate the pores and fine lines that only exist in living creatures.

"This is not a human|skin|mask|mask, this is a piece of human skin." Ben Xianjun was shocked.

The monkey didn't say anything, and motioned to the fairy to continue.

Ben Xianjun said: "Look at the skin texture, the skin is smooth and can be broken by blowing bullets, and the age should be between sixteen and twenty. The slapped face, the facial features are beautiful, and there are no spots or blemishes. She should be a beauty."

Monkey raised his eyebrows, looked at me leisurely, and asked, "Are you finished?"

"It's over." Ben Xianjun nodded, thinking that the monkey would add something.Unexpectedly, the monkey just smiled, pulled the skin away and threw it into the water.

"Hey, don't throw it away..." Ben Xian Jundao was anxious, thinking that the characteristics of this piece of skin were consistent with the murdered girl, and it might be used as evidence in the future.

The monkey didn't take it seriously, and smiled half-smile: "Since you know everything you want to know, it's useless to stay. Or... Huanxi thinks she's a beauty, and it's a pity to lose it?"

The monkey was making trouble out of no reason. My immortal lord rolled his eyes at him, and went upstream along the river bank, muttering: "Stop joking, no matter how beautiful you are, you will become a dead person, right?"

The monkey gave a low laugh, stepped up to keep up, and said, "You want to go upstream?"

"The mountain is so big, it's not easy to investigate. Since this peeled human skin came from the upper reaches, we might as well go to the source first." Ben Xianjun said.

The monkey nodded in agreement, and asked again, "Are your hands still cold?"

"..."

The topic changed too quickly, and Ben Xianjun was stunned for a moment, then rubbed his hands, and said with a smile: "I just warmed up."

The monkey said "hmm".

"However... Although the weather is getting colder now that winter is approaching, the temperature of the water is abnormally cold." Ben Xianjun said, and another stream appeared in front of him.

"Wait for me." Ben Xianjun ran over, and with the previous lesson, I only stretched out a finger this time, and dipped it on the water like a dragonfly.Sure enough, as soon as the fingertips touched the water, the phalanges ached from the cold.I shook my hands and said tremblingly, "The water here is also... just as cold..."

The monkey showed helplessness, took out a square towel to wipe my hands, and asked warmly: "Are you stupid, why do you have to try it yourself every time?"

"Otherwise?" Ben Xianjun asked.

The monkey pointed to the layers of white mist rising from the water, and said, "It's so cold that you can see it, why don't you try?"

"Hehehe." Ben Xianjun held the monkey's hand instead, squeezed it through the cloth scarf, and smiled, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Ben Xianjun used the strength of sucking milk, but the monkey didn't change his face, smiled and said: "You didn't ask earlier."

"..."

The monkey withdrew his hand and smiled: "Yes, it's my fault."

Ben Xianjun also smiled, "Forget it, I don't see that you have the sincerity to admit your mistake."

Talking and laughing, I walked out a section of the mountain road, and arrived at a position almost halfway up the mountain.

Ben Xianjun realized later that we had been neglecting an important issue, and asked: "I heard that there are several Jade Emperor temples built on Mount Ji, but along the way...have we not seen even one? "

"Yes." The monkey said, "Not only that, but Mount Ji looks quite peaceful."

Monkey has piercing eyes, and he is even more aware of evil spirits and evil spirits. He said "Taiping" must be Taiping.

Ben Xianjun frowned: "This is strange, if there is no evil spirit, where did the human skin come from? Why is the water so weird?"

"However, it doesn't rule out that the opponent's power is higher than mine, and they hide their aura with blinders." Monkey said again.

"Better than you..." Ben Xianjun suddenly had a bad premonition.

"What? Worried that I can't protect you?" Monkey asked with a smile.

"..." Ben Xianjun looked away and lowered his head slightly, "No... who said you need to protect me, no need... I'm just worried... If the other party really has a lot of background, you shouldn't get involved."

"Hey, I lied to you." The monkey lightly slapped Ben Xianjun on the shoulder.

"Huh?" Ben Xianjun looked up blankly.

The monkey winked at me and said with a smile: "The big monster who can hide from my eyes with a blindfold is either dead or not yet born."

If the words just now were spoken from someone else's mouth, they would definitely be brash, but when they were spoken from a monkey's mouth, they were convincing.

At this moment, I was suddenly in a trance, as if I saw a monkey wearing a golden armor and stepping on auspicious clouds.

There is only one unrivaled hero in the world that everyone is looking forward to; there is only one person in the Three Realms who dares to act so freely and willfully.

Ben Xianjun smiled and did not speak.

I have already said what I should say to the monkey, including the phrase "I believe in you".

Afterwards, going upstream again, I still didn't see a single brick or tile of the Jade Emperor Temple, but the temperature of the stream seemed to be getting lower and lower, and even the air was filled with a chill.

Ben Xianjun wrapped his clothes tightly subconsciously, turned a bend along the stream, saw the shadowy side of the mountain, and finally saw the source of the stream and lake in the mountain, and understood why all the water was so cold.

There is a saying, "A mountain is divided into four seasons, and the sky is different for ten miles".

On the top of the mountain, facing the sun to the north, there are thousands of miles of white snow and icebergs made of ice and snow. The so-called "source of flowing water" is the snow water after the melting of glaciers.

At this time, the wind suddenly picked up, and the sky was full of snow.

The feeling of the snow particles hitting the face and the eyes is not pleasant. It hurts the face and makes it difficult to open the eyes.

"Is Mount Zhi a snow mountain?" Ben Xianjun asked, looking at the snowy desert and ice field where it meets the white clouds in the sky, thinking that the Jade Emperor didn't explain it so clearly to me when I came here.

The monkey said: "I've never been to the Qingqiu area, so I don't know much about it. Now it looks like it should be."

"It doesn't matter if the snow mountain is here, it's here." Ben Xianjun said: "It's just that I don't know where the Jade Emperor's old man's temple is built, otherwise you and I can go in and take shelter temporarily, and we can talk about it when the snow stops."

"The temple of the Jade Emperor..." the monkey raised his hand and pointed forward, "Are those hills?"

"Where? Let me see." Ben Xianjun set up a pergola with his hands, and saw five square snow hills of uniform size and shape in front of him, as if the buildings were covered by heavy snow.When I wanted to make sure, my eyes suddenly hurt, and my vision was blurred by a white awn.

"Long stay." Ben Xianjun called out in a low voice, staggered back a step, stretched out his hand and scratched randomly.

The monkey's ending sound raised "Huh?", and it wasn't until the Immortal Lord tightly clasped his forearm that his body froze.He held me up, and said in a slightly stern voice, "What's wrong with you?"

"..." Ben Xianjun shook a hand in front of his eyes, but he couldn't feel the change of light and dark at all.Facing the direction of the wind and snow, I said: "My eyes seem to be unable to see..."
