As a result, both humans and monkeys got together and marched up the mountain in a mighty manner.
Because Qi Dongqiang, a local, was the guide, he always took Yan Shouyi and the others on some strange paths. The paths were hidden but they were real shortcuts, which saved a lot of time.
This kind of path is not easy for ordinary people to walk, but we are not ordinary people. Only Zhuge Ji is physically weaker, and Ye Tianyuan has trouble with his legs and feet.
Originally, Yan Shouyi wanted him and Long Feicheng to carry one each, but Qi Dongqiang directly ordered Huanhuan and Lele to carry them on their backs in order to fulfill their friendship as landlords.
Fortunately, Huanhuan had no conflicts with everyone, so she picked Ye Tianyuan, picked him up, and ran away.
Lele looked at the remaining Zhuge Ji with reluctance on his face.
You actually want me to bear this enemy?!
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Seeing that Lele was unhappy, Qi Dongqiang took out a banana to tempt it.
When Lele saw it, her eyes lit up at first, and then she suppressed her desire and raised two fingers to Qi Dongqiang.
This guy can actually bargain!
Qi Dongqiang agreed, Lele took the banana and hugged Zhuge Ji happily.
Zhuge Ji was hugged by Princess Lele, his face was embarrassed, and he did not dare to look at Lele, for fear that the monkey would throw him off the cliff if he was unhappy.
Fortunately, Qi Dongqiang still has a dominant position among the monkeys. Although Lele was unhappy with Zhuge Ji, she did not behave like a monster and protected him all the way.
Climbing a mountain is very boring, and everyone chatted away without saying a word.
After climbing for about an hour, Long Feicheng felt a little exhausted and asked to stop and take a rest.
Everyone took out water and dry food to replenish their strength. Lele looked at the potato chips in Tian Jue'er's hand eagerly. Tian Jue'er was a kind-hearted person, so he gave some to Lele.
This made Lele very happy. She held one piece in her mouth and one piece in each hand, and ran three times among the monkeys like a show off.
As a result, when they met Huanhuan who had just returned from an outing, he snatched all three potato chips away. Lele was so angry that she ran to complain to Qi Dongqiang.
"Huanhuan! Don't snatch Lele's snacks!" Qi Dongqiang taught him from a distance, but it was obviously ineffective because Huanhuan stuffed the potato chips into his mouth immediately.
Qi Dongqiang sat helplessly next to Yan Shouyi. He suddenly remembered something and said:
"A few days ago, my monkeys said that there was a strange fragrance in Da'e Mountain."
"Strange scent?"
"Hmm... it smells like delicious fruit, and it's about to ripen," Qi Dongqiang frowned. "The monkeys went crazy when they smelled the fragrance. They didn't even obey my orders and stayed there all day long.
They came back reluctantly until the fragrance disappeared. I heard Huanhuan say that the fragrance was something they had never smelled before. It was very, very fragrant, and the fruit must be delicious."
Tian Jue'er on the side was drooling just listening to it, and her stomach growled unsatisfactorily.
She couldn't help but ask: "What kind of fruit is that?"
Qi Dongqiang swallowed: "I want to know too, but unfortunately the source of the aroma is inside the Emei Sect. I can't get in, and neither can the monkeys."
This message is very useful.
The fruit that can make monkeys so crazy must not be an ordinary fruit, but some kind of "spiritual fruit" with special abilities.
Animals want to cultivate into monsters and strive to live longer. Then cultivating into monsters is one way, and the other way is that they discover some kind of spiritual fruit or spiritual grass in the deep mountains and old forests to protect them.
It waits until it matures, and after eating it, it opens up its spiritual intelligence and evolves directly into a demon.
This is probably the reason why the mysterious fruit attracts monkeys.
According to the timeline mentioned by Qi Dongqiang, the time when the fruit matures seems to be the node of the Emei faction's incident.
Is there any connection between these?
There is still half an hour before we reach the top. After half an hour, all the puzzles will be solved.
…
After everyone rested for about ten minutes and regained their strength, they started climbing again.
Half an hour later, the narrow path had disappeared, and a dense virgin forest blocked their way.
The virgin forest has dense vegetation and the ground is covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves. There are deep pits or poisonous snakes hidden inside.
What's even more terrible is that white fog began to appear all around, and in just a few minutes, the visibility dropped to less than five meters.
Five meters away, there was a vast expanse of white, and nothing could be seen.
Long Feicheng couldn't help but said: "Dong Qiang, are you sure you are going the right way? Why do I feel like we are going to get lost!"
Qi Dongqiang replied: "We are already near the Emei sect. Every time we get close to the Emei sect, there will be heavy fog in the mountains, which makes us confused about the direction and we will go down the mountain while walking. I have been in the mountains for so long, and sometimes I think
I secretly sneaked into the Emei Pavilion to see the colorful clouds, but I never succeeded."
After hearing this, everyone was a little at a loss. How can we find the Emei Sect with this heavy fog blocking it?
Qingcheng Mountain and the people of Dianyi Sect should have something to do, but no one will regret not following them up the mountain at this time.
Everyone's eyes fell on Yan Shouyi.
I saw that Yan Shou was confident and didn't pay attention to Bai Wu at all.
Grandma Wen Yuxian is in the Yin Wood on his body. If grandma is released, she will definitely find a way into the Emei Sect.
But Yan Shouyi didn't intend to disturb grandma's rest, he had other ways.
He took out a token from his bag and wrote the three characters "Tai'er Order" on it.
This was given to him by Master Guanyun Taituo Ling Xiaoxiao. It is said that with the Tai'er Order, he can run unimpeded on Mount Emei.
In other words, with Tai'er Ling in hand, you can definitely find a way to enter the Emei Sect!
Sure enough, as soon as Tai'ering appeared, a golden light flashed around him, and then the heavy fog in front of him suddenly moved to both sides, making way for a small path.
What's even more amazing is that they couldn't see the road at all just now, but the path that appeared now was actually paved with bluestone slabs, as if it existed, but they just didn't see it.
The monkeys were all stunned. Lele couldn't help scratching her head, but realized that she had now become the Mediterranean Sea and couldn't help but feel dejected.
"The Emei Sect is indeed a sect that has been passed down for thousands of years!" Zhuge Ji said with emotion.
Qi Dongqiang was very excited: "Sure enough, I followed the wrong person. This way we can join the Emei Sect!"
He and Caiyun have known each other for so long, but they have never visited the Emei Sect. This has almost become Qi Dongqiang's inner demon.
But now, he could finally go and see what the place where Caiyun usually lived and studied looked like.
Yan Shou held Tai'er Ling in one hand and climbed up the path:
"Without further delay, let's go up to the mountain and have a look."
