Chapter 143: Choice of Pet, Monkey King
Yu Que happily put the mandrill's soul into the military jar. When he saw the old monkey still standing in the blood pool and staring at it, his heart tightened.

He immediately put away the White Back Sword in his hand and hung the military jar around his waist instead.

Yu Que asked Mr. Donkey to step forward a few steps and said, "Excuse me, senior, is there anything I can help you with?"

When the old monkey heard this, a smile appeared on his ferocious face, and he shouted:
"Just come down. Apart from that evil beast just now, there is nothing else to be wary of here.

There is another unexpected benefit for you here.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Que felt relieved and a look of anticipation appeared in his eyes.

So he didn't wait for the donkey master to step down from the blood pool, but jumped off the donkey's back, holding the white-backed sword, and stepped into the blood pool cautiously.

When he reached the edge of the blood pool, Yu Que discovered that the blood pool was actually warm and was actually a hot spring.

There were many monkeys soaking in the pool, and they were trembling with fear.

There were human heads floating in it, some fresh, some rotten, up and down, just like cooking dumplings.

Yu Que pushed aside the numerous heads and waded to the side of the old monkey.

The other party has retracted his Dharma body, and has transformed from a three-meter-tall giant ape into a human form, looking unprepossessing.

However, even though Ma Hong suppressed his aura, he now looked ferocious and terrifying, and should not be offended, in the eyes of Yu Que and the monkeys around him.

"Why are you dawdling? Come here quickly."

The old monkey waved and called out to Yu Que, then pointed in front of him and said, "Look, what is this?"

Yu Que lowered his head and looked intently at the center of the blood pool. He found a mass of something that looked like a lotus root but was not a lotus root, and was dough but was not dough. It was one foot square and there seemed to be something moving inside.

"Is this, Tai Sui, Ganoderma lucidum?" Yu Que's eyes flickered, and he thought of this thing with great enthusiasm.

He was still muttering in his heart: "It can't be such a coincidence, I came across another Ganoderma lucidum?"

The old monkey shook his head immediately and denied it:
"No, no, this thing is not a medicinal herb, but a group of fetuses."

The other party reached into the pool of blood and lifted up the lump of flesh.

The blood drained from it, revealing its full appearance. It was indeed a piece of unpunctured fetal membrane.

Inside this thing, the placenta is obvious, the umbilical cord is winding, and you can vaguely see a hairy creature swimming in the fetal membrane.

When it was pulled out of the pool of blood, the hairy creature was still roaring in the amniotic membrane, fiercely threatening Yu Que and the other two.

Yu Que stared at it in amazement, then glanced around and pointed at the fetal membrane, saying:

"Could it be that all the monkeys in this Monkey Mountain were born from this blood pool like this?"

"Not really." Old Monkey Ma Hong shook his head again and said:

"Only the Monkey King here can bathe in the blood pool and be reborn."

The other party muttered to himself:

“Speaking of which, I have already killed all the monkey kings in Rotten Monkey Mountain and even burned their nests.

Unexpectedly, only fifteen years later, this group of evil animals gave birth to the Monkey King bloodline on their own, and intended to give birth to a living Monkey King through the blood pool."

These words immediately aroused Yu Que's interest.

According to what the old monkey said, the mandrill that was killed just now was not the real monkey king here.

Yu Que asked a few more questions and immediately knew the whole story of the Monkey Mountain.

It turns out that the monkeys here are a group of ferocious beasts called "brain-eating monkeys". In addition to eating wild fruits in the mountains to maintain life, their favorite food is the brains of living things, especially human brains.

If brain-eating monkeys appear in a place and gather in groups, they will even feed humans specifically to eat their brains and marrow.

This group of brain-eating monkeys in Huangshan were discovered by Ma Hong a few years ago. The holes in the monkey mountain were used by them to feed humans.

At that time, there was a real Monkey King in Monkey Mountain. His realm was equivalent to that of a seventh-grade immortal, and he was even about to break through to the sixth grade.

Fortunately, because the discovery was made in time, all the monkeys in the mountain were burned to death in the mountain with poisonous fire by Ma Hong. The Monkey King was also killed by him and tied up as a household god.

This is why this place now looks bare and has few trees, and why Ma Hong was able to transform into a giant ape.

Yu Que sighed: "It is actually like this. Senior is amazing, this is a great merit!"

But he was also confused, his eyes swept around the monkey heads, thinking in his heart:

"Look at Senior Ma, he has a strong character and is not the kind of person who would lose sight of the greater for the sake of the smaller.

Since this man was able to kill the original Seventh Rank Monkey King and burn all the monkeys on the mountain, why didn't he just cut the grass and kill all the monkeys within a hundred miles, so that there would be no more brain-eating monkeys gathering and killing living people. "

Ma Hong saw Yu Que was thinking, and he seemed to see through the doubts in Yu Que's heart. Without Yu Que saying anything, he sighed:

"It's a pity that the monkey head is easy to remove, but this monkey mountain is hard to push down."

The other person showed a sneer on his face: "At the beginning, Ma reported to the general that he wanted to lead the general's troops to completely flatten this Rotten Monkey Mountain, which is full of evil and hidden dangers, to prevent the rebirth of monsters.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the news was sent out, someone flew over from Mount Huang and ordered us not to cause trouble. He also said that this mountain was neither good nor bad, and was just the right place to breed monkeys for the disciples in the mountain to train.

Ma Hong pouted, "I was fooled at first, but later I found out that it was actually the group of guys on the mountain who were bewitched by the monkey wine in the monkey mountain. They wanted to keep this monkey mountain and gather monkeys to help them make wine in the future.

Ma even suspected that the monkeys here were originally released by the guys on the mountain.

Otherwise it is hard to explain. Ma had clearly killed all the brain-eating monkeys at the beginning, but a new batch of them grow here every year, and the growth rate is extremely fast. "

Yu Que was stunned when he heard the inside story and didn't know how to comment.

Ma Hong also said:

"There is no other way. Ma can only come here every year to kill some monkeys for fun, to control the population and to make some monkey wine."

The other party sighed: "This is the best effort Ma can make when he cannot flatten the mountain."

Yu Que was silent for a few breaths, then he saluted:
"I'm sorry for causing you trouble, Senior!"

After these words, the atmosphere in the cave became quite depressing.

Regardless of what Yu Que was thinking after hearing about the Rotten Monkey Mountain, Ma Hong pointed at the fetal membrane and said with a smile:

“But this is also fate. The soul of that big guy just now happened to be chosen by you to serve as the family god.

You can take this little monkey head, which is still in the process of being cultivated, back home and adopt it as your own, thus gaining a pet with great potential."

"Adopt this creature as a pet?!" Yu Que's eyes flickered.

He took another step closer and looked at the little brain-eating monkey that was screaming in the fetal membrane.

According to Ma Hong, the brain-eating monkeys here can breed a seventh-grade monkey king.

Even though the monkey population is now in decline, the newly bred monkey king species may be weaker, but at least they have the potential to grow into the eighth grade.

If Yu Que adopts this creature and feeds it more medicinal pills on weekdays, he will most likely get a rare helper in the future. And most importantly, this little brain-eating monkey has not yet been born and has not yet become wild, so it is the best time to adopt it as a pet.

"When I reach a higher level in the future and no longer need this monkey as a companion, I can place it in the clan and let it look after the clan and help my uncle and aunt."

Yu Que's breathing slowed down, and he was about to accept Ma Hong's proposal immediately.

But suddenly, he glanced at the blood pool and said in a deep voice:
"Senior, is the development of the Monkey King's bloodline here also closely related to the corpses around?"

Ma Hong raised her eyebrows and answered carefully:

"good.

This blood pool was originally just a geothermal spring. The brain-eating monkeys in the mountains used it to collect water for use as material for making wine.

Now, this place should be used as a delivery room, with a lot of human brains and bone marrow as support to nourish the big guy and the little guy."

The other party pondered for a while, recalled and said:
"If I remember correctly, when the monkey king here reproduces, he does not mate with brain-eating monkeys, but has to have sex with women.

Once a woman becomes pregnant with a monkey fetus, the brain-eating monkey will bite off her limbs and imprison her in a tree stump.

When the baby reaches the ninth month, they will first cut open the woman's abdomen, remove the fetal membranes intact, and then use the mother's brain marrow as bait, smearing it on the fetal membranes, and feed it with various brain marrows, especially human brains, every day. "

Ma Hong sighed: "If I remember correctly, the origin of this little monkey should be similar."

When Yu Que heard this, his expression became even more stern, and he said:

"The monkeys here are really ferocious! Senior, it was right to kill them."

Ma Hong touched the messy beard on his cheek and sighed:

"We still killed too few people."

Then the other party said:

"Stop talking nonsense and put this thing away quickly. It has not been born yet and has not stained its hands with human blood. It can be said to be a poor monkey.

From now on, you must teach it well and guide it to the right path, and never let it go astray."

Yu Que said in a deep voice, cupped his hands and said: "Yes, I will never let this thing go astray again."

"Good." Ma Hong gently pushed the fetal membrane in her hand, letting it fall into Yu Que's arms.

But the next moment.

Yu Que held the unborn monkey head in his arms and lightly snapped his fingers.

With a hiss, the white-backed sword in his hand penetrated the fetal membrane and pierced through the little brain-eating monkey that was roaring and struggling inside.

The originally clear liquid in the fetal membrane was instantly dyed red, and the little brain-eating monkey also struggled and let out a shrill cry.

Owl! Suddenly, the little brain-eating monkey tore open its fetal membrane on its own and pounced hysterically towards Yu Que's face.

Yu Que snorted coldly, and the sword moved as his heart wished, easily pinning the fellow in mid-air, preventing him from moving forward an inch.

"He is truly a treacherous creature. When he is about to die, he can be reborn on his own."

As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out and cut the throat of the little brain-eating monkey with his fingernails to prevent the beast from continuing to scream in front of him.

The vitality of the small brain-eating monkey is really strong. Even though its body was pierced and its trachea was cut, it still struggled for ten breaths before it completely took its last breath and lay motionless.

While Yu Que was doing all this, Ma Hong was stunned and staring at him in astonishment.

When Yu Que withdrew his gaze from the monkey corpse and looked over again, Ma Hong choked up and said with a strange look in his eyes:
"Is this how you guide it into the right path?"

Yu Que swung the Baiji Sword, causing the monkey corpse, whose bones had been pulled out, to fall into the pool of blood.

He followed the other party's words and chuckled:

"Your insight is brilliant. If this thing had never appeared in the world, it would never have entered the evil path again."

Hearing this, Ma Hong's voice became choked and his eyes were filled with emotion, not knowing what to say next.

"I'm getting old..." the man whispered, then sighed:
"But, since this thing is left for you, you can do whatever you want with it. Just don't forget the favor I've done you."

The remaining lack of color:

"Younger generations should always remember this!"

After saying this, Ma Hong shook his body, jumped out of the pool of blood, landed on the back of the donkey official, then lay on the donkey's back, squinting his eyes, looking as if he had no intention of getting off the donkey again.

This man threw the wine gourd at his waist to Yu Que and shouted:
"Boy, there are many brain-eating monkeys here. Since you have a ghost jar and are a member of the King of Hell's lineage, don't miss it. Try to collect as many monkey souls as possible. See if you can train a monkey army when you return.

At the same time, help me fill up this wine gourd."

What Ma Hong said was exactly what Yu Que wanted.

"Yes."

Yu Que's eyes moved slightly, and he took the lead in tapping the military jar on his waist, and first put the young soul in the corpse of the little monkey in the blood pool into the jar.

In fact, the reason why Yu Que chose to kill the monkey just now was that his views were different from Ma Hong's. He did not think that the small brain-eating monkey was "miserable". Instead, he thought it was hateful and its death was not worth regretting and should not be condoned.

It was also because Yu Que was thinking that there were many monkeys here. Since they could abduct living people for food, he could naturally capture monkey souls for medicine.

Yu Que planned to try to use the soul of the little brain-eating monkey as the main body, with the help of the small black gourd, to see if he could cultivate it into a powerful household god.

If this is feasible, a fully grown Monkey King God would be more powerful than the Mandrill God that was just torn apart by Ma Hong.

But I'll have to think about this after I get back.

So Yu Que immediately got busy inside Monkey Mountain, constantly using the White Back Sword in his hand.

He killed every monkey he saw and chopped every monkey he saw.

If he had not been worried about being too far away from Ma Hong and possibly getting into danger, he would have wanted to kill all the brain-eating monkeys on the mountain and exterminate all the monkeys.

At the same time, he did not forget his main business.

Yu Que found several stone pits in the cave, which were filled with wine.

He specifically took the clear wine from the upper layer and poured it into Ma Hong's wine gourd.

What surprised Yu Lie was that Ma Hong’s gourd was full only after it had collected three stone pits.

This unprepossessing wine gourd is actually a rare and precious storage magic weapon that can hold far more wine than its appearance suggests!
So Yu Que poured out the wine in the gourd again, then took it back and played with this wonderful thing carefully.

When he reluctantly handed the wine gourd back, Ma Hong saw his jealous look.

The other party hurriedly put the gourd into his clothes, fearing that Yu Que would look at him again.

"Let's go, let's finish our work and go back to the village." The other party kicked the donkey master and urged him to set off.
