When the wind blows, large chunks of snow accumulated on the tree crowns fall off, and large snowflakes are rolled up.

The winter sun shines on the snow, so white that it makes people dazzle and cry.

"Whoosh!"

Under the heavy snow, a line of bird claw marks extends from under the tree to the grass nest.

A ghostly figure flashed past, bringing with it the cutting force of a thin thread. Several snowflakes flew in the air and split into two pieces silently.

There was a continuous buzzing sound in the air, and there were faint shadows flying around, but no one was seen.

On the soft snow, there are occasionally one or two shallow depressions, and even the lightest bird cannot step on such marks.

"Good friend, be careful.

Amid Zhong Sheng’s hearty laughter, shouts followed one after another, “The sword of sincerity.”

The bright sword light rose, brilliant and unstoppable, and rolled up a white dragon in the snow, rolling and roaring.

A thin figure appeared from the air, and it turned out to be Yuan Hou holding a dead branch.

The apes have snow-white fur, which gives them a natural advantage in the snow, making them invisible when hidden.

Its body is light, it lands silently, and its leap is as fast as lightning, but when faced with this sword, it cannot escape from the sky or the earth.

"Zhizhizhi."

The monkey screamed and rolled on the spot holding the dead branches, trying to neutralize the killing move.

As spring passed and autumn came, the burns on its body were still healed, and its fur grew as before, wrapping it around its body to withstand the edge of a sword.

However, the ancient sword followed Yuan Hou like a shadow, firmly sticking to Yuan Hou's back.

The ape took a step forward, and the sword tip extended a few inches, as if it had eyes and followed closely.

Zhong Sheng laughed loudly, "Good friend, surrender!"

In the blink of an eye, the dead branch transformed into dozens of phantoms, stabbing from all directions and hitting the sword with jingling sounds.

During the sword fight, one person and one monkey learn from each other, and the apes' sword skills also undergo many changes.

Zhong Sheng's wrist kept beating, and the ancient sword buzzed and vibrated, defusing the ape's attack wave after wave.

"With a pure heart, you should treat the sword with sincerity. This is the truth I have realized."

"Good friend, thank you very much."

As soon as he finished speaking, white light emitted from the ancient sword, its speed increased sharply, and it was washing around the dead branches, and sawdust fell.

In the blink of an eye, all that was left of the dead branch in the monkey's hand was a bare wooden stick.

Lost!

The ape looked unhappy and pointed at the ancient sword and made gestures to express unfairness.

"I have the sharpness of an ancient sword, but you are just a dead branch. You are really weak in victory."

Zhong Sheng comforted it, "No matter what, I will use dead branches to compete with you in the future."

The ape nodded with satisfaction, that's pretty much it.

Zhong Sheng and the monkey went home hand in hand, stepped on the snow, and looked at the winter scenery of Zhongnan Mountain with endless emotion.

Practicing swordsmanship in the mountains, with White Ape as his teacher and friend, his skills improved by leaps and bounds.

From being defeated in one move at the beginning to now turning defeat into victory, it can be described as a difficult step.

Although he barely managed to win with the power of his sword, his actual ability was still slightly inferior to that of the ape, and Zhong Sheng was already very satisfied.

"Let's go home and eat hot pot."

The monkeys drooled after hearing this. It snows heavily in winter, and hot pot with wine is really delicious.

The hot pot ingredients and charcoal fire are all ready, and the wine is also on hand.

Zhong Sheng has finished drinking the wine he brewed, but the current inventory was made by collecting fruit nectar and flowers together with Zhong Sheng under the leadership of the ape.

"Good friend, your family has passed down a secret method, and the wine you brew can be called a spiritual wine."

Ape wine is made from wild fruits, honey and flowers. Drinking it can drive away poisons and heal wounds, and is of great benefit to spiritual practice.

What's even more difficult is that Zhong Sheng discovered that this wine can increase the upper limit of a creature's race.

My original one-arm strength was about four to five hundred kilograms. I drank wine and practiced every day. Before I knew it, I had exceeded one thousand kilograms, which was more than doubled.

As for squats, thrusts, waist strength, etc., everything goes up with the tide.

"The overlord is still alive, but that's all."

More strange things happened to Zhong Sheng.

For example, as bones become harder, teeth can easily crush stones and iron, which can be called the 'iron chewing method'.

The skin has a bronze color and contains a water-glossy oil color. It looks smooth, but is actually tougher than sun-dried old cowhide.

Nails, hair, etc. were originally trimmed with ancient swords, which were as easy as cutting tofu.

But gradually, the nails become harder, the hair becomes tougher, and the resistance to cutting becomes stronger day by day.

The black rope made of hair is constantly sawed by ancient swords.

"Is this evolution?"

Zhong Sheng thought about the current state, which is similar to that of the white-haired ape, both of which have broken through the limits of the race.

Could it be that the fruit wine brewed by apes is some kind of panacea?

Is it possible that if this continues, he will soon become a mountain spirit?

"When spring comes, I'll go out and have a look."

There was no news from the second uncle. He was concerned about his family and decided to go out and inquire about it.

It is expected that after one year, the impact of no matter how big a case is will be weakened, and the outside world will not be unable to move forward.

"Good friend, we two brothers wouldn't know each other without fighting. I want to go out, but I really can't let you go."

Zhong Sheng patted the ape on the back and said, "Your temperament and ability are not enough to make you suffer, so I'm not worried about that."

"The only thing is that when outsiders come into the mountains, you must hide yourself."

Although apes are born with different species, if they are seen by outsiders and become greedy, they will not be able to defeat the open and secret arrows.

Poison traps, kerosene ordnance, there are too many things that can harm it.

How can a pure heart raised in the mountains resist the dark and sinister evil of the human heart in the world of mortals?

The ape seemed confused, staring at him for a long time and grinning.

The next day, at dawn, the monkey woke Zhongsheng from peeing and forced him to walk in a certain direction.

Zhong Sheng wiped off the yellow soup on his face and yelled, "Damn monkey, don't you know how to drink more water and avoid getting angry?"

The ape walked on the tree as if on the ground, occasionally grabbing a cane and leaping more than ten feet away like a swing.

Zhong Sheng was too far behind, so he transformed into a parkour expert and caught up.

At noon, a man and a monkey stopped in a tree hole, which was filled with various debris.

The ape gestured up and down, with pain on his face, indicating that he could take something away.

The rusty helmet, the baby's tiger head hat, and the rusty utensils.

It can be seen that this is the treasure house collected by the ape. If he were not a good friend, he would never bring it here and let him choose.

"Thank you, I really don't need it."

When Zhong Sheng saw the ape's disappointed look, his heart softened and he said, "Just take one."

He glanced across the tree hole and suddenly noticed something unusual on the ground. It was not noticeable under the accumulation of dead leaves and debris.

"Huh?"

Zhong Sheng brushed off the dust and saw a stone layer that had been carved and polished and was definitely not a natural formation.

There is something underground.

"Good friends, let's join hands and take a look at your treasure."

A sarcophagus.

Hidden under the tree hole is actually a square sarcophagus.

Perhaps it had been buried for too long, and the earthy smell penetrated the stone wall, and when it was exposed to the air, it hit your nose.

The ape was quite excited, lying on the lid of the sarcophagus and pulling it up hard.

"When you come down, you don't even know what's inside, so be careful of getting poisoned."

Zhong Sheng stretched out his arms, held the sarcophagus upright on the ground, and signaled the ape to follow him and retreat.

The black rope is tied to the corner of the coffin lid. It is made of Zhongsheng's hair and can drag the eight cows continuously

"Listen to my slogan, one, two, three, pull!"

"Monkey, you grabbed it again."
