Chapter 897 Water Monkey

Li Chengxi's knowledge of Chinese mythology is limited to Journey to the West and Investiture of the Gods. I can say that he has not read other stories, but he has basically not read them.

Not all myths are true. Many of them are exaggerations of the original events.

For example, the legend of Houyi shooting down the sun may be that there was once a man named Houyi who was very good at archery. Later, it was passed down and became a legend that he could shoot down the sun.

Yes, legends are gradually outrageous, regardless of China or foreign countries.

But the premise of legends is that you have to have a prototype, not just out of thin air.

The reputation of Sun Dasheng is known to everyone, but the image of Sun Wukong is actually copied. If you look back at history, you will find that before the Yuan Dynasty, there was no monkey in Tripitaka's Journey to the West. It only appeared in the Yuan Dynasty's dramas, and Sun Wukong had a sworn sister named Wuzhiqi.

When the Ming Dynasty wrote Journey to the West, Wuzhiqi was simply replaced by Sun Wukong. As a result, everyone knows Li Gui, but no one knows Li Kui.

Legend has it that Wuzhiqi was born in the Water Curtain Cave in Tongbai Mountain. He was born with a divine monkey, who called himself the Water Ape Great Sage. He married the daughter of the Dragon King, built the Dragon Palace, and had three children.

Later, when Dayu was controlling the flood, Wuzhiqi caused trouble. Dayu had to get help from Yinglong to subdue the monkey and locked him under Junshan.

This story comes from the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Many of the details in it can no longer be said to be borrowed from Journey to the West. It is almost copied.

Now, the real Li Kui has come out and is hammering at the Lei family barrier.

It has been said that if the monsters don’t have a back-up, it is absolutely impossible. At least someone must support them, otherwise a group of little monsters would not dare to make such a big fuss even if they have eight hundred courage.

But then again, is there really only such a monkey who supports the monsters?

Li Chengxi feels that it is not right. Wuzhiqi can’t hold it up. If it is replaced by the Monkey King, it may be about the same. Combined with Lei Lei’s experience of being attacked, there may be a master behind him.

So Li Chengxi didn't rush to do anything, and just watched the show.

But the people of the Lei family didn't dare to just watch.

The Lei family's formation can defend against "spirits, monsters, demons, and ghosts", and has no effect on people, so Li Chengxi and his people can get in directly.

But no matter how good the formation is, it has its defense limit. The monkey kept smashing it, and the formation flickered, and it didn't look very reliable.

The monkey must be moved away.

"Dragon Capture Palm!"

With another angry shout, Wuzhiqi, who was smashing the barrier, suddenly floated up, as if he was sucked away by something.

At the same time, someone from the Lei family ran out of the barrier, the second young master who tore his shirt.

"You, a reckless man, finally came out, and saved this great sage from wasting any more effort."

"Monster monkey, don't say anything! Watch the palm!"

The second young master of the Lei family got out of the barrier and raised his hand to slap it.

And the monkey was sucked by the Dragon Capture Palm, unable to dodge, and directly crossed the gun barrel to take it hard.

Then there were three crisp sounds, and the second young master of the Lei family attacked fiercely, with both palms, but each one was gently caught by the monkey.

"Try harder, it's not enough."

It even mocked.

At the same time, many monsters emerged from the bamboo forest, nothing more than some wood spirits, water spirits, mountain monsters, and stone monsters, all of which were small monsters following Wuzhiqi. When they saw the second young master of the Lei family coming out, they all popped their heads out, as if they wanted to help Wuzhiqi.

When the Lei family saw that you didn't follow the moral principles of martial arts, they all shouted "Second young master, I'll help you" and ran out in a swarm.

If you want to rely on the barrier alone, you will definitely not be able to hold on, so you might as well go out and fight to the death.

Li Chengxi was with the people from the Ninth Section and ran forward a few steps, but they did not leave the barrier and stood near the edge to watch the battle.

Zhang Lei, Wu Yue and their colleague from Section 9, that guy, the camera was almost sparking from pressing the door, it was rare to see such a large gathering of monsters, leaving video materials for later study.

Maybe it was an occupational disease, they were still thinking about taking pictures at this time.

The Lei family fought with the little monster behind Wuzhiqi, and the number of monsters was indeed far more than that of the Lei family. Countless monsters emerged from the woods, it was simply an animal world, there were all kinds of monsters, it was so lively.

Li Chengxi was not in a hurry to take action, after all, if he went out, if the barrier was broken, Gan Xiaoyan would have no one to protect him. Besides, Wuzhiqi was definitely not the only one who supported the monsters, Li Chengxi wanted to see who gave these monsters the confidence.

Although there are many monsters, due to the lack of magic power, these little monsters are at most larger animals. Only lions, tigers, bisons, wild boars and the like seem to be more lethal. The others are basically beaten away by the Lei family in a few moves.

There are many numbers, but the quality is not good, just to join in the fun.

In the depths of the bamboo forest, a group of bird monsters took off again, probably intending to take advantage of the opportunity of the Lei family being entangled to get as close to Lingbao Heavenly Palace as possible.

Now the second young master of the Lei family is fighting with Wuzhiqi, and he really has no time to take care of the group of birds.

But then again, the Lei family is not the only second young master who can fight, and the other people who can fight are not entangled by big monsters like Wuzhiqi.

Apart from anything else, Lei Lei should be able to deal with the approaching bird monsters alone.

Li Chengxi was waiting for Lei Lei in the crowd to make any new moves. Suddenly, the sky darkened, from the dark clouds to the pitch-black night.

The sun, which was originally hazy on the horizon, is now slowly shrinking, and finally only a dim circle of light remains, completely disappearing in the sky.

This scene shocked everyone. It was clearly the time when the sun was rising, but it was as if it was deep in the night. Even the Milky Way and the stars could be seen in the sky.

Gan Xiaoyan, who was next to Li Chengxi, pointed to the direction where the sun was originally and exclaimed:

"It's the heavenly dog!"

This heavenly dog ​​refers to the heavenly dog ​​that eclipses the sun.

Isn't the heavenly dog ​​eclipsing the sun a total solar eclipse?

Is this also a monster?

Li Chengxi looked in the direction pointed by Gan Xiaoyan and saw nothing, only a few dog monsters.

The heavenly dog ​​eclipsing the sun is just a normal celestial phenomenon, but the ancients who did not understand the principle demonized it.

"The fear of mortals can also become a monster, and it is definitely a big monster."

Gan Xiaoyan explained, and Li Chengxi was a little confused. What kind of fear can become a monster?

The fantasy of one person is just a fantasy, but the fantasy of countless people may eventually become true.

What people fear and hate, when these resentments gather together, they may turn into monsters.

This should be what it means, although Li Chengxi still thinks it is a bit outrageous.

After all, he was brought up with materialistic values ​​and did not believe in such metaphysical things. This is why Li Chengxi could have used divine power a long time ago, but he still could not use it well.

Divine power is too idealistic.

However, the bad thing is that the matter is not as simple as Tengu. It is enough to go straight from early morning to late night, and the stars in the sky suddenly seemed to have lost their shadows. In an instant, no matter whether it was a human or a monster, there was only darkness in front of them and nothing could be seen...
