Chapter 143: The Full Moon on the 15th



The noise brought Yunwen and I back to reality. In addition, I was so close to her at the moment, and the scars on her shoulders made me feel distressed. In fact, her body must have been in a lot of pain due to the abrasions along the way, but her tolerant character made her grit her teeth and endure it without saying a word, for fear of causing trouble for me.

I played with her, and she didn't want to dampen my interest, so she catered to me and did some playful things. Thinking of this, I felt a little guilty. I took off my camouflage uniform and covered her body to cover her wound. I gently touched her scratches and sighed, "Does it hurt?"

She shook her head, gave me a forced smile, and said, "It doesn't hurt, it's okay."

At this time, another roar came from outside!

I am very confused. The door is clearly tightly closed from the outside, but now it seems as if we have locked it from the inside. Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?

But no matter what, we can hold out in this secret room for a while. I should take Yunwen to find another way out. The fifteenth day of the full moon is approaching. These gorillas are looking for us at a chosen time in order to drag us to be used as human sacrifices. I can't give them such an opportunity.

So, I took Yunwen's hand and looked around for another way, but this was obviously an enclosed and isolated place. Apart from some ancient books and eternal lamps, and some porcelain plates and bowls placed around, and the embroidered spring sword hanging on the wall, there was really nothing to find.

I also knocked on the wall, but it was solid inside and there was no secret mechanism or passage at all. This was a dead end and there was no other way to go.

"Yunwen, you just read so many ancient books. What are they recorded in? Since the books are hidden in this stone chamber, there should be some relevance." I asked.

Yunwen shook her head and said, "There is only one book called "Erotic Collection", the author is Senior Li Zihu, but it is a collection of prose poems, mostly decadent poems and lyrics, expressing unwillingness and missing wives and children at home, there is nothing else. There is a sentence that says 'from now on, the common man does not know the knife', which left a deep impression on me."

"Ah? Why did that old gray guy insist on sending us in here? He even used sign language, making it seem mysterious. But in the end, he still wanted to harm us. Each one of them is more playful than the other and is good at playing tricks on us." I said unconvinced.

At this moment, I suddenly remembered something. A common man does not know a knife from now on? This is a double entendre. In the book, he mocked himself as a common man, and then he did not even know a knife. But in this stone room, it was as if he was talking to me. A common man did not even know a knife when he came here.

I went over immediately. The knife was not hanging too high, and I remembered that Senior Li Mufeng's cloak did not look too long on me, which showed that we were about the same height. With similar heights, our arm spans would naturally not be very different. So I just raised my hand slightly to reach the Embroidered Spring Knife and pulled it out. Immediately, the wall of the entire stone chamber began to split apart, revealing a long corridor.

Yunwen and I looked at each other and walked towards the corridor. We saw rivers on both sides of the corridor. The trickling sound of flowing water we heard before came from here. When we reached the end, we saw only an octagonal table and a stool, a long-burning lamp, and a letter on the table with the words "To the future generations who are destined to meet me" written on the letter.

Yunwen picked it up, and it was already covered with dust. She dusted it off, opened the envelope, took out the letter, and read it out: "To the descendants who are destined to be with you, you are here because I entrusted my servant Fusheng to do this when I was alive. There is no need to be surprised. Fusheng drank the water of immortality and could live for a thousand or a hundred years without ever getting old or weak. Since you are destined to be with me, Zihu, as your predecessor, has three words of advice for you that you may want to obey. The first is that there is a treasure at the foot of this mountain, which is the immortal weapon of the God General [Golden Palace]. It is what people like us in the Dragon Seeker Camp have been looking for our entire lives. If you can find it, you can survive on this island."

I was amazed, and thought that Lao Hui might be too old. It was incredible that he could live such a long life. The average lifespan of an orangutan is sixty years at most, which might be the highest record. The owner of this letter is Li Mufeng, and his servant is Lao Hui, also called Fusheng, who must be around five hundred years old!

At such an old age, no wonder he looked like an elder standing beside me. He didn't look like an ordinary gorilla, but an old man. But since there was the immortal water, why didn't Li Mufeng drink it himself? Why did he ask the gorilla to drink it and make it immortal?

I was lost in thought for a moment, and Yunwen continued, "Second, after you find the treasure, do not abuse it, otherwise you will die suddenly. The only way to use it is to find the Xuanpin Tianshi Talisman. The talisman is hidden in the secret passage next to the house at the foot of the mountain. There are also secret books and teachings, which can protect your life. Third, be careful of my servant Fu Sheng. If it gives birth to a child and disobeys my instructions, the ape will definitely become a monster. You should leave quickly."

"Great! Now that you say that, is there any other secret passage for me to escape?" I asked.

Yunwen smiled bitterly, shook her head at me, and said, "The remaining half page was torn off by someone."

I widened my eyes. Who could know this place? And the envelope was clearly sealed with wax, so it couldn't have been opened and torn during this period. It could only have been torn before the letter was placed inside. Therefore, there were only two people who could have torn it. One was Li Mufeng himself, and the other was... Fusheng, that is, Lao Hui.

Li Mufeng can be basically ruled out, otherwise he would have been idle and tore up the letter he wrote. So Lao Hui is the most likely candidate. Moreover, the letter said that if it gave birth to a child, there would definitely be apes that became spirits. So, those four-armed white apes and the Tyrannosaurus Rex are the so-called examples of spirits?

And those two big guys are its sons, they must be quite old, and the most terrifying thing is that the whole family must be of one mind!

It seems that this old gorilla has fulfilled the wish of its old master, but at the same time has cut off our retreat, leaving us with nowhere to escape. We can only read the letter and leave it to its descendants to deal with!

He is really shrewd and has not lived in vain for five hundred years!

With a bang, the stone door outside was pushed open, and the first one to come in was the giant gorilla with a paralyzed right hand. It roared at us, and then the gorillas rushed in whimpering and grabbed Yunwen and me and carried us away.

As I was carried all the way back, I couldn't struggle because too many hands were restraining me. Yunwen was the same, she was terrified.

Soon, we were carried out of the cave and brought back to the top of the mountain. We walked along the stone-paved road, passed the place where we were tied to the trees, and were taken directly to the edge of a cliff.

At this moment, the moonlight was all over the world, and the bright white color seemed to overflow, making the night as bright as day. In the forest below, there were constant howlings of hungry wolves. Ah! It continued, one after another, like the sound of waves. In addition, there were strange tree forks near the cliffs, which really made the full moon tonight a night of horror.

When we reached the edge of the cliff, we saw a strangely shaped tripod, which was a tripod from the Western Zhou Dynasty. I didn't know how such a heavy object was transported up there. It was full of water, and I, He Yunwen, was thrown into the water. With two splashes, we were thrown in.

At this moment, Lao Hui appeared again, but this time, it was followed by the Tyrannosaurus Rex and the Four-Armed White Ape. It was holding something in its hand, which was a kettle-shaped thing. I always felt that I had seen it somewhere. Suddenly, I thought, isn’t this the thing that someone on the left wall of the Taiqiong Cave was holding?

At the same time, Yunwen panted rapidly and said, "It's that thing! It's that thing that harms people, the dirty thing that swallows people's souls as recorded in the Heavenly Fragments."

Soul? Devour?

At this moment, I pressed my hand into the water, and my scalp immediately went numb. Judging from the shape, what I touched was the skull of a nine-tailed fox corpse!
