Immortality from plundering luck

Chapter 13: My friend has great wisdom
"Xiaoyaozi?" Shi He chewed on the name over and over again, and his first impression was that the name suited the person.

After a while, he raised his head and looked directly at the other person: "According to what you said, as long as a large number of humans die tragically, the ruins you mentioned will be born. Then, aren't countless ruins born in this world every day?"

"Heaven and earth are unkind, gods are not clear, all things are like straw dogs, and the people are like weeds, to be slaughtered and trampled on by anyone." Shi He said in a cold voice with an indifferent expression.

Xiaoyaozi sighed and said, "This is how the world is. Let alone me, what can you, a mortal warrior, do?"

"You can kill these little ape monsters, destroy the nest of the third Xiyang ape, and chop off the head of the old ape in Shilin Mountain?"

"Besides, there are mountains outside mountains, and there are monsters outside monsters," Xiaoyaozi shook his head. "Humans can eat monsters, and monsters can also eat humans. Today, you saw this ape monster eating villagers, so you were angry and killed it. Don't you know that several years ago, villagers caught apes and took their brains, which were regarded as delicacies. It was all the rage and praised by countless dignitaries."

"Where there is gain there is loss, where there is cause there is effect, this is true for everything in the world." Xiaoyaozi tells his own story.

"I don't believe in cause and effect," Shi He said expressionlessly, "I only know that if someone makes me uncomfortable, I will make his whole family uncomfortable."

"Now these beasts are making me uncomfortable," he said with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, "I'm going to make their entire family uncomfortable, Ape No. 3, right? So there's also Ape No. 1, Ape No. 2? And the last one, the thousand-year-old ape?"

Xiaoyaozi was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "My friend, what you said is quite interesting. You are really a wonderful person, wonderful!"

"Thinking of me, Xiaoyaozi, who is free and unrestrained in the world and regards the worldly affairs as dust, isn't that a different kind of comfort?"

After thinking for a moment, he suddenly clapped his hands and chuckled, "My friend is indeed very smart and wise. Your summary is brilliant!"

"."

What a brilliant idea!
I always feel like you are deliberately flattering me!
Shi He was quite embarrassed and decisively changed the subject: "So, the Shanghe County ape monster clan generally has three generations. The old ape from Shilin Mountain is the first generation, the ape monsters including Ape Old Three are the second generation, and the ape monsters I killed before are the third generation?"

He asked puzzledly: "But what realm is this old ape from Shilin Mountain at? Why hasn't anyone killed him?"

"Well, I feel that we are destined to meet today. How about I use the origin of the ape clan as a gift to you and me?"

Xiaoyaozi pondered for a moment and said, "Speaking of the ape-demon clan, the relationships are extremely complicated. The old ape in Shilin Mountain, judging by his seniority, is probably a descendant of the Monkey King in Huaguo Mountain in Dongji Shenzhou."

"It's just that their bloodline is extremely thin and their talent is insufficient, so they migrated here and gave birth to several ape monsters including the Third Ape from Xiyang Mountain."

"The Monkey King of Huaguo Mountain?" Shi He was dumbfounded. Wasn't this a fictional character from the previous life's Journey to the West? How could he appear here?

Could this be the Tang Dynasty?
Shi He thought about it, but quickly denied this guess.

After all, there aren't so many messy things in the Tang Dynasty, and there won't be monsters like ape monsters that eat people wantonly.

Moreover, this is the territory of the Dayong Kingdom.

So what about this Monkey King?

"That's right," Xiaoyaozi nodded and said, "This Monkey King of Huaguo Mountain is quite remarkable. Although I was not born when he became famous, I have heard many rumors about him from the elders in this temple."

"Rumor has it that the Monkey King was born from a magical stone. This magical stone is located on the top of the Flower and Fruit Mountain. It was inspired by the innocence of nature, the essence of the sun and the moon, and over time, it became gifted with spiritual powers."

"Growing up the immortal fetus, one day, the spirit stone broke apart and a spirit monkey emerged."

"As soon as this monkey appeared, it had wisdom and could crawl and walk. It was born with magical powers." Shi He understood after hearing this: "Could this magical power be called Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils?"

"How do you know this magical power is called Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils?" Xiaoyaozi was quite surprised. Seeing that Shi He did not say anything, he could only put this question in his heart and continued with great interest:
"This magical power is extraordinary. According to legend, his eyes can emit golden light that can see through a thousand miles, penetrate the void, and distinguish between the real and the fake. No illusion can conceal it."

"This monkey demon was born with the sun, moon and stars, and was born with supreme luck. Such powerful magical powers must have made countless strong people envious." Xiaoyaozi smacked his lips, with envy in his eyes.

Shi He, however, caught the meaning of "supreme luck".

He possesses a qi system and is extremely sensitive to the word "qi".

His expression slightly changed: "Master, you said that this Monkey King possesses supreme luck, what do you mean by that?"

"Of course!" Xiaoyaozi looked puzzled. He didn't understand why his friend, who was quite interesting in speaking, asked this question, but he still patiently explained:
“Anyone who is born with the essence of the sun and the moon, and who has supernatural powers or extraordinary things from the day he is born, is a person of supreme luck.”

"My senior in the temple once told me that all people or monsters with supreme luck have these few things in common,"

"First, they are indomitable. Even a thousand difficulties and dangers cannot stop them from becoming stronger. Second, they have help from the outside world, which can turn danger into safety at critical moments. Third, they have opportunities. These opportunities may be big or small, but no matter what, they will definitely gain something. Fourth, they have talent."

"These people with supreme luck are like the golden scales in the pond. Once they encounter wind and rain, they can ride on the wind and transform into dragons, soaring into the sky, overlooking all living things and ruling the universe."

Having said this, Xiaoyaozi suddenly stopped talking, looked straight at Shi He, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face.

Shi He was confused: "Why is the Taoist looking at me like that?"

The Taoist priest in green robes said with a smile: "I think you are not inferior to me."

Shi He was speechless. He did not think that he was a person of supreme luck, let alone any talent. His current level of cultivation was entirely due to his own hard work.

He looked calm, and his heart was not disturbed by the Taoist's words: "Master, you are joking. I am nearly 70 years old, and my time is coming soon. How dare I expect that fantasy?"

"Hahaha." Xiaoyaozi looked at Shi He meaningfully, then laughed a few times and changed the subject:

"Let's talk about the old ape in Shilin Mountain. His strength is mediocre. I can kill him with a flip of my hand. But you must know that this old ape also has a deep connection. If I take action, the nature of the situation will be completely different.

Although I am not afraid, this turmoil will inevitably involve more innocent people.

If you were to take action, the person behind the scenes would be unhappy but would be helpless."

Shi He had some realization.

"I see your fate, you will be one of us sooner or later," the Taoist smiled, as if a spring breeze was blowing on your face, "I will give you these few monkey monsters as a gift."

"Then this gift is a little too generous." Shi He was speechless, expressionless and sarcastic.

Hearing this, Xiaoyaozi's eyes lit up: "This sentence is well said, very insightful!"

"My friend is indeed very wise."
