Chapter 463 Tang Travel (5)
Wangyou didn't speak again, and the oxcart slowly moved along in the snow.
Suddenly, as I passed a tree, something fell down from it.
A bird was chirping sharply in the tree, its voice quite mournful. The bird was very beautiful, but I didn't know what kind it was.
What fell was a fledgling. Wangyou caught it and looked at it. It was quite big, but it had indeed just hatched. Wangyou then understood why the bird had been calling so loudly—it wasn't the same species.
It turned out to be a baby falcon. Wangyou immediately decided to raise it and use it to deliver messages to her when it grew up.
Back home, I fed the little falcon some spiritual spring water, and the little guy quickly came back to life. I then found some meat and fed it to it.
Gradually, the little falcon grew up healthily in their home.
Perhaps because it often drank the spiritual spring water, the little falcon was exceptionally intelligent, and Wangyou named it Liefeng (Hunter Wind).
"Qingman, I'm going out for a bit. If I don't come back tonight, don't worry. I'll definitely be back by tomorrow at the latest."
"Miss, where are you going?"
"Don't worry, I'll be fine going up the mountain. You know I've been popular with animals since I was little."
"Miss, how about I go with you? It'll be good if there are two of you to look after each other."
"No need, I can go by myself. Just keep an eye on the house. If anyone looks for me, just say I'm resting and not seeing guests. I'll take Hunter Wind with me. If I can't make it back by tomorrow, I'll have it deliver a message to you." Two-month-old Hunter Wind can already hunt on its own, so delivering a message is a piece of cake.
"Then, Miss, you must be careful."
After saying goodbye to Qingman, Wangyou took Liefeng into the mountains. She had been hearing that coughing sound at home for the past few months and wanted to see who it was that was so healthy after being injured for several months.
Wangyou walked towards the direction from which the sound came, but the path was particularly difficult to traverse, with uneven terrain. So Wangyou simply used her lightness skill to travel.
She thought she would arrive soon, but she ran into the deep mountains and encountered tigers, lions, and bears. She still hadn't found them. Every time she thought she had gone to the wrong place, that voice would appear again.
Exhausted from the long journey, Wangyou grabbed a tiger for transportation, saying, "Big tiger, give me a seat, I'm so tired."
For the rest of the journey, Wangyou rode the big tiger and guided it by the sound of coughing until the evening of the next day when she felt the sound had become much clearer.
At this moment, the tiger stopped moving and lay down in one direction.
Following the tiger's gaze, Wangyou saw a Five Finger Mountain. "This mountain is quite interesting. It looks like a person's five fingers, but why does it look so strange?"
"Big Tiger, get up, let's go."
Da Hu looked at Wang You with a wronged expression, his eyes filled with fear, as if there was some great terror over there.
"Never mind, I'll go by myself." Wangyou waved her hand, sending Dahu away. Dahu hurriedly left.
Afterwards, Wangyou looked at Liefeng, fed it some spiritual spring water and meat, and then sent it back to inform Qingman so that she wouldn't worry.
Liefeng wasn't entirely comfortable leaving Wangyou alone, and was eventually forced to leave by Wangyou.
Then, Wangyou strode towards the Five Finger Mountain with her short legs, wanting to see who possessed such great supernatural powers.
As she approached the Five Finger Mountain area, Wangyou suddenly sensed a strange magnetic field. To be on the safe side, she rummaged through her spatial storage and found a wooden plaque carved with a silver dragon. Instinctively, she hung it around her neck.
Then, Wangyou, with a carefree attitude, headed towards Wuzhi Mountain. As she approached Wuzhi Mountain, she saw a cave. From inside the cave came rapid coughing and cries of pain, mixed with curses.
Wangyou's eyes lit up; it seemed they had arrived at their destination. She headed towards the cave, but was quickly deterred by the smell inside.
The cave entrance was filled with the stench of blood mixed with a faint stench, a smell that would be unbearable for ordinary people, let alone someone as perceptive as Wangyou.
After thinking for three seconds, Wangyou took out a pill from her pocket, swallowed it, and then walked into the cave.
Before long, Wangyou saw a round platform covered with a thick layer of blood-stained dust. In the center of the platform was a humanoid creature whose limbs were bound by thick iron chains.
Wangyou felt that the light in the cave was a bit dark, and she couldn't see whether the thing was a person or a ghost, so she took out a luminous pearl.
The luminous pearl illuminated the entire cave. When Wangyou saw the humanoid creature, she gasped in shock. It wasn't that her eyesight was bad; it was clear that the creature was only recognizable as humanoid, its entire body was black, or more accurately, dark red, with blood seeping from some places.
"How tragic!" Wangyou exclaimed, startling the humanoid creature.
However, Wangyou was always cautious and did not step onto the round platform; she was not a particularly kind child.
Suddenly, Wangyou saw a pair of golden eyes, very beautiful, but those eyes were full of ferocity, ruining their original beauty.
"Your eyes are so beautiful, but they won't be pretty if you gouge them out," Wangyou said with some worry. She had never seen such beautiful eyes before, they were golden!
"Ho ho!"
"So fierce. What did you do wrong? Why are you tied up here? But I don't think it's your fault. Someone with such beautiful eyes can't be a bad person," Wangyou muttered to herself.
She thought of a folk tale, and no matter how she looked at it, she felt that this person was very much like a figure from that legend.
To confirm her identity, Wangyou gripped the wooden plaque hanging around her neck and carefully walked onto the round platform.
Upon closer inspection, the humanoid creature was covered in hair and was indeed a monkey, though it looked rather pitiful, as its fur was covered in scabs.
"How disgusting!" Wangyou took out a few cleaning talismans from her spatial storage and stuck them all on the monkey with a smack.
The dirt on the monkey quickly disappeared, revealing large and small wounds all over its body. Judging from the shape, they looked like they had been whipped. Wangyou looked around but didn't see any whips or anything like that.
"Ho ho!"
"Can you speak human language? Are you the legendary monkey who wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace? You really are the Monkey King! You are the most handsome monkey I have ever seen. Can I keep you as a pet?" Wangyou asked in a series of questions.
"Kid, you're so noisy!" The tone was slightly annoyed, but without a trace of malice.
"How dare you complain about me? You've been nagging me for so long and I haven't complained at all!" Wangyou shouted loudly.
"I, Old Sun, am trapped under the Five Fingers Mountain. How did I disturb you? You're being unreasonable, kid!" Even monkeys have bad tempers. Anyone covered in injuries would have a bad temper.
"Hmph, I could hear your coughing and cries of pain whenever I went up the mountain before. Lately, I've been woken up by your coughing and cries of pain every night. I'm not upset about it, and I'm coming to find you." Wangyou became more and more aggrieved as she spoke.
