The woodcutter Zhang Xiaoyun made a living by chopping wood and selling it. Because he often went in and out of the mountains, he became familiar with the monkeys in the mountains. The monkeys would not hide whenever he saw him.
That day, he cut down a load of wood, carried it on his shoulders and walked down the mountain, feeling a little thirsty, so he walked to a big elm tree, put down his load, and drank a few sips of water.
Suddenly, he heard a "squeaking" sound on the tree. When he looked up, he saw a white-haired monkey calling on the tree.
Zhang Xiaoyun smiled and said, "You monkey are brave, what are you doing when you run to my head?"
Then Zhang Xiaoyun discovered that the monkey looked strange, his eyebrows and eyes did not grin like ordinary monkeys, but rather gentle and looked very spiritual.
The white-haired monkey called Zhang Xiaoyun a few more times, and then left.
After that, Zhang Xiaoyun could always see the white-haired monkey when he entered the mountain. Sometimes he squatted beside him and watched him chop wood. Sometimes he hung on the trees to play, and Zhang Xiaoyun didn't care about it.
On this day, Zhang Xiaoyun cut off a load of firewood and was about to leave. The white-haired monkey jumped off the tree and blocked him, holding a red fruit in his hand.
"Squeak!" While shouting, he handed red fruit to Zhang Xiaoyun.
Zhang Xiaoyun reached out to take it and checked it carefully. He found that he had never seen it before. It was only the size of a grape and the color was red. When he took it to his nostrils, he smelled it, and there was a clear fragrance.
He didn't know if the white-haired monkey could understand human words, so he asked tentatively, "I asked me to eat it?"
White-haired monkey nodded, "Squeak!"
"It's so strange that you beast can understand human words!" Zhang Xiaoyun was just thirsty, and smelled the fragrance of red fruits, so he threw it into his mouth to chew it.
"Yeah um... so sweet!" Swallowed the red fruit, still feeling unsatisfied.
"Next time, I'll pick it for me, thank you!"
"Squeak!"
"Squeak!"
White-haired monkey gestured with her hands and ran away a few times.
Just like that, the monkey sent Zhang Xiaoyun one or two red fruits every now and then, Zhang Xiaoyun ate them without hesitation, and gradually discovered that there were many magical features of this red fruit.
In the past, although Zhang Xiaoyun was strong, he would be exhausted and panting when he carried a load of firewood down the mountain.
But since I started eating red fruit, I picked up hundreds of kilograms of firewood, and I felt very relaxed. I walked vigorously in the mountains, my face was neither red nor breathing.
Not only does the body become stronger, but the skin is also becoming smoother and more delicate. A man in his thirties has his skin like a girl in his 18 or 19 years old.
Zhang Xiaoyun knew that it was the magical effect of those red fruits. From now on, he would always bring some fresh fruits to the white-haired monkey in exchange for the red fruits in his hand.
Three months later, everyone praised Zhang Xiaoyun for his full complexion and full spirit when they saw him.
Early in the morning that day, Li Gongming, a friend Zhang Xiaoyun met when he was a teenager, came to visit him.
This Li Gongming went up the mountain to be a Taoist priest after he was over teenager. Later, he followed his teacher to search for immortals and visited Taoism, and he only came back not long ago.
Li Gongming was shocked when he saw Zhang Xiaoyun's appearance: "Oh, Brother Zhang, what kind of immortal method have you practiced to rejuvenate? Why haven't you seen me for a few years, and you've become younger and stronger!"
Friends met, and Zhang Xiaoyun did not hide it and said mysteriously: "It's a monkey on the mountain..."
Zhang Xiaoyun said, Li Gongming was surprised: "You are so lucky! Master and I walked all over the famous mountains and rivers, searching for the masters and hermits, and after walking a few pairs of shoes, there was no big opportunity. Fate. But you, you can meet the spirit monkey offering the magic fruit by chopping firewood up the mountain. Envy! Envy! "
Seeing Li Gongming's envious look, Zhang Xiaoyun smiled and said, "I have eaten dozens of them in the past few months. If the monkey gives them to me next time, I will bring them back to you, and let you, the immortal spirit who cultivates immortality! "
"Oh! Thank you!"
A few days later, the white-haired monkey came again. Zhang Xiaoyun exchanged a few fresh peaches for his two red fruits and put them in his arms to continue working.
White-haired monkey saw that he did not eat it on the spot, and was so anxious that he screamed for a long time.
"Okay OK OK, don't shout, I'll take two good brothers for me."
After hearing this, the white-haired monkey frowned, turned around and left.
"This monkey is so stingy and stingy. If you don't eat it, you'll get angry?" He was both angry and funny, and continued to wave his hatchet to chop wood.
After he got home, he found Li Gongming, took out the red fruit and said, "I will give you these two. Please take them and see if they have any effect."
Li Gongming took it happily: "Thank you, Brother Zhang! I have got the treasure, I dare not enjoy it alone, so I should take it back and respect my master!"
Li Gongming ran away after saying that, Zhang Xiaoyun nodded and said to himself: "My brother is a good man who values friendship."
Only half an hour later, Li Gongming hurried back, followed by a white-bearded old man behind him.
"Brother Zhang! A disaster! A disaster!"
Li Gongming ran into the door panting, and shouted about the disaster as soon as he entered the door, and then helped the old Taoist priest behind him into the door: "Master, it's here."
Zhang Xiaoyun was confused: "What disaster? Who is this Taoist priest?"
The old Taoist opened his right hand and raised the red fruit and asked, "I am Li Gongming's master. Are these two red fruits really given to you by monkeys in the mountains?"
Zhang Xiaoyun said respectfully: "Yes, teacher."
"How long have you taken it?"
" About the time after about?"
" I have been taking it for three months. "
" Lucky!"
The old Taoist breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Do you know what kind of fruit this is?"
" I don't know what kind of fruit it is, but after taking it, I am tireless and full of energy, and I am more than ten years younger."
" This is called the death-induced fruit! Anyone who takes it for a hundred days will mobilize the energy and energy of the whole body within a hundred days, and the qi and blood will be filled with tirelessness. However, once a hundred days arrive, the qi and blood of the whole body boil and flow backwards, and it will be exhausted in a moment, and they will die immediately!
"What!" Zhang Xiaoyun's face was pale, it turned out that this was not a magic fruit, but a death-induced fruit!
"Then! What should I do? Master save me!" Zhang Xiaoyun was frightened and hurriedly knelt down and begged for help.
Li Gongming helped him up and said, "Brother Zhang, don't worry, my master has his own way."
The old Taoist priest said in confusion: "The disease on your body is easy to solve. I just need to use a silver needle to seal your qi and blood, and then slowly guide it back to the internal organs, limbs and bones to restore your previous body. But why did this monkey give you fruit?"
Zhang Xiaoyun heard that there was a way to save his life, and he felt relieved and guessed: "Maybe it just was it just a monkey."
Zhang Xiaoyun heard that there was a way to save his life. The monkey picked it accidentally, and when I saw that I like it, I kept picking it and sending it. "
" No! Ancient books contain this death-induced fruit. People take it and die for a hundred days, but the monkey will only die for three days. The monkey has lived in the deep mountains for a long time and has always been cautious. The death-induced fruit only grows on a hundred-foot cliff. Monkeys will never risk their lives to collect such a toxic fruit. There must be a fraud in this! "
After an analysis by the old Taoist priest, the two were frightened.
The old Taoist priest asked again: "What does that monkey look like?"
Zhang Xiaoyun answered truthfully: "White hair all over, with kind eyebrows and eyes, can understand people's words, and is quite spiritual."
"No! This is not an ordinary monkey, but a monkey who has become a sperm!"
The old Taoist priest suddenly realized: "So that's it! This white-haired monkey has become a sperm, and wants to replenish qi and blood, and go further, So he worked hard and sent the death fruit to the person who entered the mountain. After taking it for a hundred days, the qi and blood must have gathered in his body and rolled. The white-haired monkey took the opportunity to absorb the qi and blood of a person to nourish his body. It was really vicious! "
Zhang Xiaoyun heard this and his heart beat wildly: "I almost ruined my life!"
Then the three of them discussed. The next day, Zhang Xiaoyun pretended to go into the mountain alone, and the old Taoist priest and Li Gongming followed quietly behind him.
As expected, shortly after entering the mountain, the white-haired monkey couldn't wait to jump out, holding five red fruits in her hand.
Zhang Xiaoyun said intimately, "This is the next dose of strong medicine, and I'm going to kill my life!"
's face remained unchanged and said, "Monkey, are you here again? Give me the red fruit quickly, I haven't eaten it in several days!"
White-haired monkey happily handed the red fruit to Zhang Xiaoyun. When Zhang Xiaoyun reached out to pick up the fruit, he suddenly held the monkey's wrist tightly and shouted, "Come on, come on! Catch it!"
White-haired monkey was frightened and screamed, struggling constantly, but Zhang Xiaoyun twisted his arm and couldn't break free.
The old Taoist priest and Li Gongming appeared in time and locked the white-haired monkey with iron chains.
"Hmph! A villain, do you think I don't know your conspiracy? Now that I am being captured, I won't come to the real trick!"
"Zhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhi
"The evil beast is ungrateful! Look at the whip!"
The old Taoist whipped the white-haired monkey with a demon-killing demon. It screamed in pain, and finally surrendered and buried its head.
The old Taoist priest said again: "I ask you, have you harmed anyone else?"
"Squeak!" The white-haired monkey shook his head desperately.
"But I don't believe it, take us to your nest to see!"
The white-haired monkey remained motionless, unwilling to lead the way, and was intimidated by the old Taoist priest's whip, so she reluctantly walked into the deep mountains.
After walking for more than an hour, the three of them came to a cave, and the white-haired monkey didn't dare to go inside outside the cave.
The old Taoist priest and Li Gongming entered the cave, and Zhang Xiaoyun held the iron chain tightly and looked at the white-haired monkey tightly.
"This evil beast! One person has been killed!"
The two lit torches and went into the hole to see a dry human skin spread in the corner.
The old Taoist priest was furious and brought the white-haired monkey back to the Taoist temple to suppress it, and the light of heaven will never be seen.
Later, he helped Zhang Xiaoyun remove the fruit poison, and since then, Zhang Xiaoyun never dared to eat randomly again.
