You Are Not the Only Rich Chapter 33

"Human bones?" Oliver's back felt numb, "Could it be a farmer in the mountains who accidentally had an accident while cutting firewood and hunting?"
"The terrain of Yunhai Canglang Peak is steep. Not to mention farmers, even martial arts practitioners with mediocre qualifications may not be able to climb up." Asher said, "Did you feel that there was something wrong with that monkey just now?"
"It's a bit bigger than the one down the mountain." Oliver thought for a moment, "It has dark fur and doesn't look very friendly."
"That's not an ordinary monkey." The ground was slippery, and Asher carried him back, "It's a zombie monkey."
Oliver was disgusted, "What a ridiculous name."
"Earlier, Ivy wanted to open a fish pond, so he brought his secret guards here to look for a place. As a result, they met the mourning monkey. It was the first time for everyone to see this kind of thing, so they caught one and went down the mountain." Asher said, "Because they live in the miasma-filled woods all year round, these monkeys have gradually undergone some changes. The miasma is rampant in the forest, and fruits rarely grow. The mourning monkeys can only feed on other animals, so their teeth are related to Its claws are extremely sharp, it can climb trees and swim in water, its screams sound like mourning, and its temperament is also very violent."
"No wonder it's called such a name." Oliver frowned, "What about the martial arts conference in a few days?"
"Of course it will be held as scheduled." Asher said, "No matter how ferocious they are, they are nothing more than a group of beasts. Besides, if you are afraid of even monkeys, then it would be too useless to come to participate in a martial arts conference."
Oliver said awkwardly, "I'm afraid too."
Asher laughed, "You are not considered a martial artist, you are considered a martial artist's little daughter-in-law."
Oliver curled his lips, leaned on his shoulder and looked back, and suddenly saw some unusual movements in the distance, heavy black shadows rose and fell, like huge rocks rising and falling.
Asher's hearing was so sharp that before Oliver could see those things clearly, he had already drawn his sword with his right hand. Three huge monkeys rushed over with strange cries, holding stones in their front paws, with ferocious and extremely cruel faces.
Asher leaped up, swung his sword and chopped down the monkey in front of him. Dark red blood spurted out, carrying a disgusting smell of rust.
"Hold me tight." Asher whispered in his ear, "It looks like there are a lot of them. Leave early and get clean."
After the monkey was chopped down earlier, it had a somewhat deterrent effect. The rest of the monkey group just surrounded the two people, but no longer pounced forward. They all seemed to be looking for a suitable opportunity.
Taking advantage of this moment, Oliver had the chance to see clearly what these monkeys looked like. Their eyes were bulging and their teeth were blood red. They were even more terrifying than the evil ghost statues in the temple.
"Just close your eyes." Asher patted him, "You are not allowed to look at dirty things for too long."
Seeing the two people talking, a grey-haired mourning monkey stood on a high rock and screamed strangely. The monkeys immediately seemed to have received an order and surged over like a tide. Asher led Oliver to fight their way out and flew down the mountain.
The monkeys roared and followed behind, picking up stones and throwing them at the two of them along the way. For a moment, the sky was full of stones like a heavy rain. No matter how well protected he was, Oliver was unfortunately hit in the forehead and immediately had a bulge. Asher originally just wanted to get rid of these ghosts quickly, but at this time he succeeded in getting angry. He raised and flicked his right hand, and hundreds of blue silver needles suddenly shot towards the group of monkeys. While screaming, many monkeys They all fell to the ground in convulsions.
"What is it?" Oliver asked.
"The anesthetic will wear off after a while and you won't be able to die." Asher hugged him tightly with his right hand, held the ivy with his left hand, and flew down the mountain. The rest of the monkeys who had escaped the hidden weapon ran to the edge of the cliff and started pulling vines angrily. However, because there were so many ivy on the cliff, Asher changed seven or eight vines one after another and reached the bottom of the mountain smoothly.
Taxuebai was still eating grass in the distance. When he saw the two people coming down the mountain, he walked over lazily and rubbed against them.
Oliver's face turned pale, obviously he still hadn't recovered from the scene just now.
"Are you scared?" Asher looked at his forehead, "It's okay, it's just a little broken."
"Are you sure you want to hold a martial arts conference here?" Oliver was still frightened. It was like a doomsday horror movie, a live version of Resident Evil.
"Senior Ren chose the place, and he didn't expect there would be so many zombie monkeys." Asher said, "I'm afraid we'll have to discuss it again when we get back."
"If we can change it, we should change it. There is no need to kill them all." Oliver said, "Although they look scary, they have not come down the mountain to disturb the people. It is natural that we will be attacked if we disturb them."
"Let's talk about it when we get back." Asher led him to get on his horse, "Even if there is no martial arts conference, we still have to find out about the bones."
"Then you still have to go up the mountain?" Oliver frowned.
"Don't worry, I'm sensible." Asher lowered his head and k!ssed him, then rode towards Zhuiying Palace.
By the time he got home, Oliver had a big swelling on his head and looked very happy.
"What's wrong?" The others were startled.
"I just took Ling'er to Canglang Peak in Yunhai and encountered a group of monkeys." Asher said, "They were hit with stones."
"There is moss on the stone and it's not clean, so it's swollen so high." Ivy checked Oliver, "Just apply some medicine and it will be fine. It's not a big deal."
"There's still a monkey you can't beat?" Shen Qianfeng was puzzled. He was also the fourth-ranked expert in the martial arts world. This kind of thing sounded too fantastic.
"The sad monkeys are not an ordinary group of monkeys." Asher gave a brief account of the situation above.
"Hundreds?" Ivy was surprised. "The last time I saw them when I went up the mountain, I thought there were only dozens at most."
"Is there such a thing?" Shen Qianfeng frowned.
"Not just monkeys, anything left in the miasma forest for many years will also change." Ye Jin looked at him, "I want to see the mourning monkey."
"Okay." Shen Qianfeng agreed, "I'll catch it for you."
"Why would you catch it?" Ye Jin said helplessly, "I just want to go up and take a look, I'm not going to get one to raise."
"I plan to take people up there tomorrow." Asher said, "Let's not talk about the martial arts conference for now, we have to find the reason for that piece of bones." If someone really died on the mountain, it must not be an ordinary person; and if the piece of bones was dug up by a monkey from a grave at the foot of the mountain, we must cooperate with the government to take precautions as soon as possible to prevent the monkeys from coming down the mountain to disturb the people.
"Xiaojin and I are going too." Shen Qianfeng said.
"And us!" The secret guards raised their hands collectively.
Ren Xiaoyao nodded, "It will be more fun if we are all together."
Oliver was embarrassed, it's not like we're going to celebrate the New Year, why do you all look so happy.
Asher shook his head, "Senior, stay."
"Why?" Ren Xiaoyao was a little confused.
Mu Hanye said coldly, "If everyone goes up the mountain, who will protect Master Shen?"
Everyone was stunned, and Oliver was speechless and choked.
Don't make me sound like a burden. You can't force me to do something even if I don't know martial arts.
It just hurts my self-esteem.
After briefly discussing the next day's plan, everyone returned to their respective residences. Asher took a bottle of ointment from Ivy and helped Oliver treat the abrasion.
"It hurts." Oliver frowned.
The secret guard strongly condemned on the rooftop. The palace owner is really very rough, can't he be more careful?
The pain is so overwhelming that I really want to line up and touch my little hands for comfort.
"It'll be fine after a while." Asher helped him to boast, "If I had known better, I wouldn't have taken you with me."
"It's not that bad actually." Oliver said, "At least we know there are zombie monkeys on the mountain, and we can change the location now. It's better than having a bunch of monkeys suddenly run out in the middle of the martial arts conference." It's very unlucky to think about it. In the future, when others mention his elder brother, they will definitely say something like "Oh, that's the martial arts leader who was chased all over the mountain by monkeys." It's really tragic.
"Okay, don't think about it." Asher helped him wipe off the excess ointment. "Stay home tomorrow. I will lead everyone to a quick and decisive battle."
"Yeah." Oliver pinched his cheek, "The forest on the mountain is so dense, there might be something else besides monkeys, so everyone should be careful."
"That's not possible." Asher said, "Looking at the number of monkeys, we know that there are no natural enemies for them on Yunhai Canglang Peak. Maybe they have become the dominant force in the mountain, so they appeared when we invaded. Extremely violent reaction."
"Chirp." Maoqiu squeezed in through the window, with a mini jade sword hanging on his body.
Oliver:...
Who did it this time?
"It's Senior Ren." The secret guard gave full play to the function of his thoughtful little cotton pants and promptly explained outside the window, "He also said advanced sentences such as giving swords to heroes!" Of course, the Young Palace Master must not have understood, but he still felt very domineering. .
Furball jumped up to the mirror and took a look. He thought it was really cool, so he sat back down in his den with satisfaction and put the round hat that Ye Jin had sewn on his head on his head.
very beautiful!
"If there were more people on the mountain, there's no telling how my son would be dressed up." Oliver didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Everything collected is good, and we won't suffer any loss." Asher flicked the furball's head, "In total, it received more gifts in three to five days than when I was a child in three to five years combined."
The furball was slightly dizzy after being shot in the head for no reason.
Shen Xiao received support.
My son is a bit stupid to begin with, so please be gentler next time.
The next morning, Oliver was dragged to the backyard by Ren Xiaoyao to build a small wooden palace for Maoqiu. After the others had a simple breakfast, they went to Yunhai Canglang Peak in a mighty manner.
Once they reached the bottom of the cliff, everyone was a little surprised. They saw that the bottom of the cliff was densely packed with dozens or even hundreds of vines, some of which still had dirt at the roots. Apparently, after Asher and Oliver left yesterday, the monkeys pulled out all the green vines to vent their anger.
"It seems that we have no choice but to change places this time." Shen Qianfeng said, "Such a steep cliff without vines is naturally no problem for masters, but the disciples of ordinary sects are afraid that they will not be able to climb up even if they die."
"Let's go up and take a look first." Asher said, "Everyone, be alert. If there are too many monkeys, there is no need to fight head-on. Retreat down the mountain and discuss later."
For the people in Zhuiying Palace, this cliff was naturally not a problem. Mu Hanye would not take it seriously. Among all the people, only Ye Jin's martial arts skills were slightly inferior, but he had Shen Qianfeng, who was superb in Qinggong, by his side. No matter how steep the terrain was, he could carry him up as if it were flat ground. After a while, everyone had successfully reached the top of the mountain.
"Many trees have fallen down." Ye Jin said, "They must have become victims of the monkeys' rage, just like those green vines."
"The temper is indeed cruel, but the brain is not enough." Mu Hanye pointed to a black and red broken piece of wood, "I just cut myself to vent my anger."
"Search separately." Asher instructed the secret guards, "Try not to anger the monkeys. If you find anything, use flares to contact them immediately."
The secret guards took the order and dispersed. The forest was filled with miasma, but since Ye Jin had prepared the pills early in the morning, no one was worried.
"The monkeys must be living in this forest." Ye Jin said as he walked, "There are a lot of footprints on the ground."
"Be careful." Shen Qianfeng pulled him, "There is a swamp ahead."
Ye Jin took a closer look and saw that there was something strange about the ground in front of him. Although it was also covered with dead branches and leaves, it seemed to be breathing slightly and shaking a little.
Mu Hanye casually threw a stone over, and it immediately sank with a thud. The sound was very sticky.
"Let's go another way." Ye Jin said, "It looks very big and there's no way around it."
"Wait." Asher frowned.
"What's wrong?" Everyone followed his gaze and saw some white bones scattered on the edge of the swamp. It was obvious that someone had died here.
"Palace Master." The secret guard also came from the other side, "We found a lot of bones."
"Judging from the weathering, he must have been dead for many years." Ye Jin said, "I just don't know why he died here. Logically speaking, people who are capable of climbing the mountain should not be injured by monkeys."
"It would make sense if one person died, but it would be unreasonable to have so many bones appear all at once." Asher ordered people to collect all the bones. Although some were incomplete, they could still barely put together five corpses. "
"It has been dead for at least a hundred years." Ye Jin made a rough inspection and said, "Looking at the skeleton, he is from the north. He has practiced martial arts, and some have been injured by swords. That's all he can tell.
This is already very strong, okay! The secret guards collectively expressed their admiration. They could actually see so many key points at a glance. Master Ye couldn't be more brilliant. She really deserves to be my wife's sister-in-law.
"We also found this." Another secret guard came out of the forest, holding a pile of rusty swords and some worn jade bone tablets.
"Now I'm more certain that he's from the north." Mu Hanye pointed at the jade bone plaque, "It can only be found in the Northeast."
"Take everything down the mountain with you." Asher said, "This is not a place to stay for a long time."
"But where did the mourning monkeys go?" Ye Jin was puzzled, "If there are really hundreds of them, why didn't we see any of them today?"
"Maybe he was hit by my hidden weapon yesterday, so he fled to another place in fear." Asher said, "I will strengthen the security at the foot of the mountain to prevent innocent people from getting hurt."
"It doesn't matter." Shen Qianfeng said to Ye Jin, "If you like, I'll come up and help you catch it another day."
The secret guards were all shocked. It turned out that Valley Master Ye liked this kind of thing!
It's really strong in taste.
Ye Jin had no choice but to kick Shen Qianfeng and stood on the edge of the cliff, ready to jump down.
Shen Qianfeng's face turned pale with fear, and he pulled her back into his arms, "You're going to die."
Ye Jin looked up at the sky proudly, yes, I just wanted to scare you on purpose.
Leave me alone!
Shen Qianfeng was both angry and amused. He carried him down the mountain. Asher and Mu Hanye followed closely behind, leaving a group of secret guards on the mountain to play finger-guessing games to decide who would carry the bone scraps down the mountain. This method was very scientific and deserved a thumbs up.
In the Zhuiying Palace, Maoqiu was lying on the window of the small wooden house, sticking his little head out and crying out in anger, "Chiu!" Let him out quickly!
Oliver said awkwardly, "It seems a little small."
Ren Xiaoyao had no choice but to open the door.
Maoqiu immediately rushed into Oliver's arms, the little black bean's eyes were sad - why should I be locked up when I obviously didn't do anything bad? It was so wrong.
Ren Xiaoyao touched his chin and looked at the sky calmly.
"Sir, senior." The secret guard squatting on the tree said, "The Palace Master and the others are back."
Oliver immediately ran out with his son in his arms. On the one hand, he was anxious to know the outcome of the matter, and on the other hand, he was afraid that the fur ball would be stuffed into the small house again - it was obviously not the right size, my son was so fat!
Ren Xiaoyao followed with regret.
"Is everything going well?" Oliver went forward.
"We didn't encounter any zombie monkeys this time, and we also found a lot of bones and jade tablets." Asher said, "It was a smooth journey."
"Jade token?" Ren Xiaoyao asked, "What jade token?"
"They have all been brought back. Senior, you can find out if you go to the backyard." Asher said, "But according to Ye Jin's judgment, they should all be things from more than a hundred years ago."
Hearing that it was an object from so many years ago, Oliver was somewhat relieved. When he saw the bones before, he thought something new had happened.
"Where is Xiaoyuan?" Mu Hanye asked.
"He got up for a while this morning, but he doesn't look very energetic." Oliver said, "Don't scare him. What if he runs away and you can't catch him back in the future?"
Mu Hanye laughed and went straight to the guest room to find him. The others went to the backyard together to see if they could find some secrets from the bones.
In the bright courtyard, Ye Jin was wiping the bone jade plates clean carefully and placing them one by one on the white cloth.
"What did you find?" Asher asked.
"These people's weapons are very strange." Ye Jin pointed to the rusty swords, "Generally speaking, swords have thinner and smoother blades, but these blades have serrations. I looked carefully and it seems that it is not an acquired bump, but an accident. It’s intentional when it’s built.”
"It's the assassination agency of the Zhou Dynasty royal family." Asher said, "It's called the Sawtooth Camp."
Shen Xiaoshou immediately looked at his man with admiration, knowing such a rare thing, how cool and amazing!
"Since I met Wong Tai Sin, I sent people to collect some things related to the previous dynasty." Asher looked at the rusty swords and said, "Based on the year and weapon style, my guess should be correct."
"After traveling thousands of miles away, how could he come to Yunlan City?" Shen Qianfeng frowned, "How could he die mysteriously on a cliff?"
"In fact, I can roughly guess the cause of death." Ye Jin stood up and pointed at a skeleton. "This is the fatal wound. The shape matches the sawtooth. So it is likely that these people had a dispute for some reason after going up the mountain, so they killed each other and died."
"What about these jade bone tablets?" Oliver squatted down and took a look. "There seem to be words on them."
"Yeah." Ye Jin nodded, "That's why I wanted to wipe it clean. There are indeed words on it, but unfortunately I don't recognize them."
"Since it is from the Zhou Dynasty, could it be that it is also written in ancient Chinese?" Oliver guessed, "It seems to be somewhat similar to the font on the previous roll of sheepskin."
"So what, no one recognizes it." Ren Xiaoyao picked up a piece of jade bone and looked at the sun, "The carving is very detailed, it does look like a royal item."
"Wait." Oliver's mind suddenly flashed.
"What's wrong?" Everyone looked at him.
"Since it is a text from the Zhou Dynasty, will Huang Taixian recognize it?" Oliver said in surprise.
As soon as these words came out, everyone at the scene was stunned.
Yes! Huang Yuan grew up with Zhou Jue since he was a child. He was also a member of the Zhou Dynasty royal family, so he must have learned this kind of writing. Previously, everyone had only focused on the emotional entanglement between him and Mu Hanye, and no one had thought of this possibility, and was still racking their brains to find such a knowledgeable person.
If word spreads about finding a horse on horseback, you will definitely be laughed at, okay?
No! often! No! often! stupid!
"Why aren't you talking anymore?" Oliver felt guilty.
"Come here!" Asher called the secret guard.
"My subordinates will be there soon." The secret guard turned around and ran quickly, very proudly. As expected of my wife, she is indeed witty!
"The head is very useful." Asher pinched Oliver's cheek.
After a while, Wong Tai Sin was confused and was taken to the backyard by the secret guard.
"Do you recognize Luotuo Wen?" everyone at the scene asked in unison.
Wong Tai Sin was in doubt and was obviously shocked by the scene.
"Don't be afraid." Mu Hanye put his arm around his shoulders. "If you recognize me, then I recognize you. If you don't recognize me, then I don't recognize you."
"What to do?" Wong Tai Sin took a long time to say.
"If you recognize him, I will tell him not to pester you in the middle of the night again." Asher pointed at Mu Hanye, "If you don't recognize him, then pretend that I didn't say anything."
"Seriously?" Wong Tai Sin burst into tears. This condition was simply too tempting.
Asher nodded, "Of course, I always keep my word."
Huang Daxian's head almost flew off, "I recognize it!"
The others looked at Mu Hanye with sympathy. With this attitude, he would have a long way to go in the future...
"Come and take a look at these." Ye Jin said, "Although it took a while, I can barely see clearly."
The servants quickly brought paper, ink, brush and inkstone. Huang Daxian rolled up his sleeves and sat at the table. He copied all the words and said, "It's not very clear, and many sentences are missing. I can only roughly tell that this should be a letter written by King Zhou to Feng Aojue."
"Feng Aojue?" Asher was a little surprised, "The founder of Jianjian Villa?"
After he said that, Oliver also remembered that he had helped to tip off the owner of Lichunyuan in Huang Daxian, Luyao, who was the newlywed wife of Feng Yunlie, the current owner of Baijian Villa.
"The higher-ups also said that if Feng Ao Jue can hand over the things as promised, they will issue an order to make him the leader of the martial arts world." Huang Daxian said, "It seems that the two have a good relationship."
"Will Baijian Villa come to this martial arts conference?" Oliver asked.
"Of course." Shen Qianfeng nodded, "I just received the name card yesterday, and it is estimated that it will arrive tomorrow. In this case, I am afraid we will have to go to meet him in person."
