Chapter 160: Monkey Great
He saw Guo Fei and others, his brow furrowed as he said to Bai Yu: "Brother Bai, you know my temperament, I've always refused to associate with cunning people."
"Heh heh. Monkey brother, Fei Yu brothers are not ordinary people, I believe in your discerning eye, and there is something on Fei Yu's body that you currently need, you can discuss it." Bai Yu said with a hint of a smile.
"What?" The man's eyes rolled over and he said in a deep voice.
"Last time, Monkey Brother wanted to borrow my Bai Pengya's 'Mai Jing Secret Book', I was bound by family rules and didn't let Monkey Brother see it, feeling very uneasy in my heart. This time, I brought Fei Yu brothers specifically to return the favor to you. This Fei Yu brother has the 'Hundred Beasts Heart Scripture' in his hands, I think Fei Yu brothers are human cultivators, not much use for them. If Monkey Brother has something to exchange, conditions that would move Fei Yu brothers' hearts, I think you can exchange it. I don't think Fei Yu brothers will refuse." Bai Yu said with a faint smile.
After hearing Bai Yu's words, Tian Hunzi and others immediately became vigilant and stood in front of and behind Guo Fei.
"Oh, so Brother Bai is inviting us to drink in this way?" Guo Fei's eyes gradually turned cold as he said in a low voice.
"Fei Yu brothers, don't misunderstand, although your 'Hundred Beasts Heart Scripture' has a great effect on us demon cultivators, the Bai Peng Cliff inheritance has been passed down for a long time and I won't covet your secret scripture. This monkey brother is generous and absolutely won't snatch your secret scripture. Let's talk it over nicely, if Fei Yu brothers don't agree, let's just forget I said anything. However, with many friends come many roads, to be honest, that loud shout earlier will spread within a hundred miles, and the demon beasts with spiritual intelligence who know you possess this item will likely spread the news throughout these mountains and waters in one night. You'll probably find it difficult to leave the Wan Kuang mountain range." White Feather said with a slight smile.
"This doesn't need your concern, don't say another word, goodbye!" Guo Fei said coldly.
"Wait!" The big man in front of him shouted loudly.
"If you want to give me a lesson, I'll keep you company!" Tianhunzi said with a cold smile.
"Haha, since you've come from afar, I don't know if you dare to follow me, Monkey Great, to go in and have a drink!" The big man in front said in a deep voice.
"Haha, what are you afraid of?" Guo Fei said with a faint smile in a low voice.
The big man turned his head and led the way forward. As he turned around, Guo Fei only discovered that there was still a fiery red tail behind him that had not disappeared, swaying back and forth in a rather comical manner.
"Fei Yu brothers, you really misunderstood me. I didn't tell you in advance, and I absolutely didn't mean to take advantage of the opportunity to seize your secret recipe. It's just that I was afraid you would suddenly leave, and Monkey Brother wouldn't have a chance. Monkey Brother spent many years trying to get rid of his tail after he became human, but it was all in vain. I was anxious on his behalf, so I came up with this plan. As the saying goes, 'even if the deal falls through, the righteousness remains.' If I've offended you in any way, Bai Yu will definitely think of a way to make amends." White Feather leaned in and bowed to Guo Fei Yu.
"Hehe. You think my master is someone who can be easily manipulated by you? If it's genuine, even if it's a precious treasure, my master won't be stingy. But deceiving my master is the same as looking down on us." Hu Xiaoyue glanced at Bai Yu and said with a smile.
"This is sudden of me, sorry!" Bai Yu sincerely bowed and apologized.
A group of people followed Monkey King into the valley. This valley was a great place, with hot spring pools at the bottom of the valley, emitting steam, clear water that could be seen to the bottom, and unknown fish swimming back and forth in the water. On both sides of the hot springs were patches of fruit forests, where dozens of monkeys were jumping and walking, seemingly very spiritual, actively taking care of each tree, like forest rangers.
The mountain valley is about five kilometers wide, with high cliffs on both sides. The edge zone is a high cliff, fifty kilometers long, and there are natural caves distributed on the cliffs inside the mountain valley. Da Ge led Guo Fei and others to climb up to the highest cave.
The cave entrance overlooks the entire valley, and the lighting inside the cave is very good. There are stone benches and tables, with an ancient charm that makes people feel a sense of relaxation. Monkey didn't say anything either, and sat down on the central stone bench. Guo Fei took a look and also chose a stone bench to sit down, while Tian Hunzi and others stood behind Guo Fei.
"Bang, bang, bang! Hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo!" The monkey's large palms clapped together, and it let out a few loud roars. Before long, hundreds of monkeys flew in, carrying all sorts of fruit which they arranged on the stone table in front of Guo Fei and the others. Next, more monkeys brought over wooden bowls carved from bamboo tubes.
Finally, ten monkeys carried a huge bamboo bucket and placed it in the center of the cave. A strange fragrance wafted into Guo Fei's nose, making him involuntarily praise in his heart: "Good wine!"
"I, Hou Da, have been cultivating in this place since my spiritual awakening, and it has already been a hundred years. Thanks to the care of the White Feather brothers, I was able to preserve this family business. The gratitude in my heart is unforgettable. However, today the White Feather brothers suddenly... (pauses) I'll apologize on their behalf. This wine is made from fermented mountain fruits and is called 'Monkey Wine'. If the Fei Yu brothers would give me face again, please have a cup." Hou Da said, then walked over to pick up a ladle next to a large bamboo bucket, poured it into a bowl, and drank it in one gulp.
"What kind of play is this?" Guo Fei was stunned, he didn't expect the demon cultivator to solve the problem in such a way. He had prepared for a big battle.
"A foot of respect from others is repaid with a yard of respect from me!" Guo Fei was this kind of person, seeing Hou Da like this, didn't have too much anger.
Bai Yu seemed to have drunk this wine before, and as soon as the wine was brought up, he couldn't hold back his desire in his eyes. He walked over, drank a ladle, poured it into a bowl, and finished it in one gulp, with a very satisfied expression.
Guo Fei stood up and was just about to walk over.
"Slow down! Let me taste this fine wine first!" Hu Xiaoyue instantly overtook Guo Fei, picked up the ladle and poured some into her own bowl. She took a sip and suddenly showed a look of astonishment on her face.
Guo Fei smiled slightly, indicating that Hu Xiaoyue should go get another scoop. Hu Xiaoyue thought for a moment, then scooped up another ladle and poured it into Guo Fei's bowl. Guo Fei took a light sip, and instantly a sour-sweet-spicy flavor burst into his mouth, the feeling was just one word: "refreshing".
"Who would have thought that this world had such delicious wine!" Guo Fei was instantly surprised, he came to this world and found that the technology of brewing liquor here was not developed, the liquor was relatively turbid, with a taste of grain inside, which was not good to drink. But the fruit flavor contained in this monkey wine was just right, making people relish it endlessly.
"Master!" Liang Tie and the others thought Guo Fei was poisoned, looked up with a thoughtful expression, and hastily approached him in surprise. Guo Fei smiled slightly and waved his hand to signal everyone to calm down.
Guo Fei was originally a cautious person, but he didn't expect that after transforming into a hidden endurance, the energy of the soldiers in his body had a detoxifying function, and the yuanqi toxin emitted would no longer harm Guo Fei. Guo Fei naturally wasn't afraid of these poisonous wines. However, it wasn't until after he drank them that he discovered this wine was non-toxic.
"Brother Monkey, since you've said so, if I were to continue to hold onto this matter, it would seem too petty. Let's just drop it here. As for the 'Heart Sutra of a Hundred Beasts', it doesn't belong to me, but rather is a family heirloom of this young lady's. I, Guo Fei, am not someone who bullies the weak or takes advantage of others. This young lady was in trouble, and I simply lent a hand. As for what belongs to her, naturally she has the final say. I won't forcefully take it, nor will I act on my own accord." Guo Fei said with a faint smile.
"Haha. It's rare to see a cultivator like Fei Yu with such a broad mind among humans, I'm deeply impressed. To be honest, I've had dealings with humans several times before, and each time I was deceived. There aren't many people as straightforward as Brother Fei Yu. Let's not mention this again, let's just enjoy the wine." Monkey King laughed loudly and invited Guo Fei and others to drink.
"Master, be careful of their inner intentions, these two people are probably not coming with good hearts!" Hu Xiaoyue mentally thought.
"Master, enjoy your meal, with Old Ghost here, no one can harm you." Tianhunzi's divine thoughts flowed.
Guo Fei smiled slightly, this old devil was indeed clever enough, knowing that Guo Fei couldn't bear to give up such fine wine, and made a great show of courtesy.
Drunk, since coming to this world, this was the first time Guo Fei had truly gotten drunk. As he drank, he gradually relaxed and all the tension in his heart disappeared. Ever since arriving in this strange land, his heart had been tightly wound, never stopping. This relaxation made Guo Fei feel exceptionally comfortable.
He was able to relax, first because his powers had increased greatly and he had ghost soldiers guarding him, so Guo Fei felt at ease; secondly, such good wine made people lose their resistance.
As they drank, Guo Fei and the three of them, including Houda and Baiyu, began to chat freely, soon calling each other brothers, clinking bowls together as they drank, until eventually they knew nothing.
