The intelligence of the ape is indeed top-notch. If a creature like the Snow Demon were brought into reality, it would definitely cause a sensation around the world.
On Earth, discovering new life forms is not a particularly unusual event. But Xue Kui is different.
Their intelligence is already very close to that of humans, and they stand on two legs like humans. If Xue Kui were given hundreds of thousands more years, he might become another highly intelligent being.
Xue Kui is more human-like than a chimpanzee, with a higher IQ and a larger physique.
Chen Yang was no longer sure if the Snow Demon existed in reality. Even if it did, it was probably hidden deep within those vast snow-capped mountains, undiscovered.
Yin Weilin had been to the back of Cang'er Snow Mountain, but he had not seen the Cang Ape, only other Snow Giants.
He was already shocked when he first encountered the Snow Giants; he never imagined that such creatures existed in the world.
However, unlike the apes, the snow monsters did not have frequent contact with humans. The apes' behavior and actions appeared more human-like.
This was especially true after he began practicing under the guidance of Master Chanshan.
Chen Yang could sense that the ape was also passively absorbing spiritual energy.
Although the ape absorbs nutrients much more slowly than humans, this also means that the micro-world acknowledges that the ape is extremely close to being a highly intelligent being.
Chen Yang had seen other Snow Giants when he went to the back of the Snow Mountain half a month ago, and he did not have the feeling of agile apes.
This proves that the ape is more intelligent.
It may be because his intelligence was developed through his practice under the guidance of Zen Master Chanshan.
“This big guy has a very Buddhist nature. If it were in ancient times, it would very likely have been worshipped as an ancient divine beast,” Zenshan said.
The ape sat obediently beside Chen Yang. Although it followed Master Chanshan in its cultivation, it submitted to Chen Yang.
It was Chen Yang who defeated it and taught it Monkey Style Fist, leading it to defeat the Snow Demon leader.
He had completely accepted Chen Yang and regarded him as his master.
"It has almost mastered the monkey-style boxing, but it can't learn anything more advanced. I'm teaching it staff techniques, and sweeping is also part of its practice."
Zenshan pointed to the broom at the ape, but the ape looked at Chen Yang instead.
"Go ahead," Chen Yang said with a smile.
The ape then took a broom and went out to sweep the snow; it seemed to really enjoy the job.
Chen Yang could no longer sense the ape's emotions.
Generally speaking, the more intelligent a being is, the easier it is for Chen Yang to perceive it.
However, the ape's intelligence has advanced to the point that it has self-awareness and emotional control, and it no longer relies on instinct to express emotions. Chen Yang can only perceive very weak emotions.
Just as he cannot perceive the state of a human being, he can only sense when others display intense emotions that are visible to the naked eye.
"Chen Yang, I've modified the setting. I've made the ape a pet that follows a high monk in his cultivation. After the monk passes away, it continues to stay in the hut, living in the same way the monk did in his lifetime. Then it meets the protagonist and they learn from each other."
Yin Weilin said to Chen Yang, and then apologized to Master Chanshan, saying, "I'm sorry, Master, this seems a bit disrespectful to you. I have no intention of offending you."
Master Zenshan smiled and said, "It's alright. I'm quite interested in this too. Would you like me to contribute a few images of your backs for a memory montage?"
Yin Weilin was overjoyed and said, "This is perfect! But Master Chanshan, you also know about these things."
"When I was a kid, I would pester my master to come down the mountain with me to watch movies every day," Dong Yujue said somewhat shyly.
Zen Master said, "Movies are good. Good movies have a soul; they are a collision of ideas."
Yin Weilin wholeheartedly agreed, “I originally thought that Master Chanshan was a reclusive sage who did not concern himself with worldly affairs, but I did not expect that you would have such profound insights.”
Zenzan smiled without saying a word and poured tea for the two of them.
Master Chanshan's tea-brewing may seem unrefined, as he casually warms the tea with a small stove, but the tea he brews tastes quite good. It has a mild initial taste, but a long-lasting sweet aftertaste, just like the man himself.
After chatting for a few minutes, Chen Yang and Yin Weilin prepared for filming. Li Su'er, on the other hand, took Dong Yujue to practice archery.
Dong Yujue stayed here to cultivate under the guidance of Master Chanshan. Every day, he ate simple meals and wore plain clothes. He hadn't eaten meat in a long time, so Li Su'er thought about hunting a rabbit or bird for Dong Yujue.
After sweeping the snow in the yard, the ape pulled off the broom handle and used it as a stick.
Its items are clearly organized, although they are messy and disorganized, but you can already see some traces of the Zen Master's staff techniques.
After Master Chanshan came out and gave a few casual pointers, he let the ape play by itself.
"Chen Yang, after we finish filming, let's practice together. It's been too long since we've been active. If we don't get moving, these old bones of ours will rust."
"Then I'll have to trouble you with your guidance, Master."
“You can start now. I want to film it and use it as a silhouette to be incorporated into the movie. When you fight Xue Kui, you can cut in Master Chan Shan’s silhouette.”
Yin Weilin quickly replied.
Master Chanshan nodded in agreement, and then Chen Yang put on the clothes and mask.
They found a scenic spot in the courtyard, set up their camera, and prepared to film.
Zen Master's cottage faces south, and the view of the Cang'er Snow Mountain is perfect for taking pictures.
Fighting in a small courtyard at the foot of a snow-capped mountain would be a classic scene in a martial arts drama.
Master Chanshan gripped his staff and launched the first attack with a sweeping motion.
Chen Yang dodged the attack, but Master Chanshan's staff kept closing in, blocking all his attack routes.
Chen Yang felt as if the stick had come to life, as if it had eyes and could see through all his movements.
In fact, given Chen Yang's physical condition, as long as it's not a vital area, no matter what Master Chanshan hits him, he'll only feel a little pain at most, and he'll definitely not get injured.
But that would be so boring. He could just charge forward headfirst, without any skills involved. What would be the point of practicing like that?
"Don't hold back. Use whatever abilities you have as you wish," Master Zenshan said.
Chen Yang knew that, in terms of skill alone, he was no match for Master Chanshan. And by deliberately suppressing his physical strength and agility, he was only becoming more restricted.
Upon hearing Master Chanshan's words, Chen Yang relaxed. He reached out and blocked Master Chanshan's stick with his arm.
Master Chanshan was not surprised. Instead, he decisively withdrew his stick and continued his attack, each move aimed directly at Chen Yang's vital points.
Chen Yang simply protected only his vital parts, enduring the pain on the rest of his body.
But he found that he was actually restricted by Master Chanshan, as if he would be attacked in his vital areas if he made any move.
There's still a gap between myself and the top experts.
Chen Yang couldn't help but think.
However, brute force can overcome any skill. Chen Yang took the initiative and broke the Zen Master's wooden stick with a single punch.
The wooden stick that Master Chanshan used was made for him by Chen Yang. It was extremely hard, and even if a normal person held it up and smashed it, they couldn't break it.
However, as soon as the stick broke, Master Chanshan rushed forward and punched the unsuspecting Chen Yang hard.
However, Chen Yang gave a wry smile and shrugged at Master Chanshan.
Zen Master Chanshan had anticipated this outcome. He withdrew his fist and said, "You win."
"Master, please stop teasing me. I'm not happy at all about winning," Chen Yang said helplessly.
Being too strong can be a problem too.
