Immortality Cultivation Era

Chapter 470 It Is Not Dead Yet

This world looks very... Quiet, peaceful and harmonious.

It looks even of ataraxia.

Men plough and women weave.

It is a merry scene of singing birds and fragrant flowers.

There are not too many noises and din.

Anyway, this place is arguably a fairyland on earth.

Gao Ge has a feeling that the scene described in Peace Blossom Spring written by Tao Yuanming is nothing more like this.

However, the abrupt black rain breaks the current tranquility.

When the black rain falls, the flowers and grass instantly wither.

The farmland, just like the plants, is also drained of vigor.

People keep falling down nonstop.

The kite’s string is broken. In the black rain, it drops from the sky slowly like a bird without wings.

Watching what is happening, Gao Ge and Tang Jiusi just feel so depressed.

It is like a beautiful painting with perfect color, layout, artistic conception and structure, which can be displayed in a national museum and yet gets splashed with ink.

It is totally ruined.

Black smoke rises from the ground. It looks like a fire burning the ground.

Suddenly there seems to be a forward button that makes the scene play at a fast speed.

Is it a video played at an eight-time speed?

Tang Jiusi pats Gao Ge’s shoulders.

Gao Ge turns around to look at him with confusion.

Tang Jiusi raises his chin and then Gao Ge looks to that direction. Among the black smoke, there is a beam of gold light, which turns out to be a golden monkey. Enormous and yet indistinct, it keeps shaking its body. The black rain is like the sweat on it.

“What’s going on?” Tang Jiusi asks.

Gao Ge shakes his head.

How can he know?

Suddenly the golden monkey falls from the sky.

It lands on the ground and becomes a little golden monkey.

It jumps extremely fast on the ground.

It even carries a basket, which is filled with fruits.

Some are dead by the roadside.

Some are dying.

The deaths are rolled by straw or summer bed-mat and then thrown into a hole.

These are already well treated.

More deaths are randomly covered by something and left unattended to.

Some doctors, carrying the medical kit, wander around this place to cure people. Unfortunately, they die before they accomplish their goals. Before they stride forward, they have fallen down. In the end, they are covered with worms and left neglected.

The land of idyllic beauty suddenly becomes a living hell.

The deaths include old people, children and adults.

The place is immersed with wailing.

Even though everything is fake here, Gao Ge still feels depressed.

“Is this the plague that happened to the Golden Monkey Town hundreds of years ago?” Tang Jiusi standing behind Gao Ge suddenly asks.

Tang Jiusi’s question suddenly rings a bell for Gao Ge.

Yeah.

He has heard of the story behind the name of Golden Monkey Town.

Legend has it that a plague happened to the town and a golden monkey appeared.

The monkey, carrying a bucket, threw about fruits here and there. Those who ate the fruits would get recovered.

It sort of saved the Golden Monkey Town.

The little monkey carrying a bucket.

It dropped from the sky.

It has started to throw about fruits as the legend says.

Those people don’t know that the fruits can cure their disease and expel plague.

The only idea they have is that they must eat.Updates by vi p

The most horrible thing is not to die of a disease but be starved to death.

It is an extremely horrid way of death.

Their stomachs are empty.

Their bellies are rumbling with hunger.

They just wish to stuff whatever they can see into their mouth, whether it is eatable or not.

Therefore, they start to eat entirely by instinct.

However, when they find that eating the fruits can help them get recovered, they finally realize the true function of the fruits.

Those who are lying on the ground start to get up again.

Many people are dead though.

Gao Ge and Tang Jiusi are the witnesses of everything.

Tang Jiusi says to Gao Ge, “If I get it right, the monkey is actually the ringleader of the plague right?”

Gao Ge doesn’t speak.

Tang Jiusi feels confused somehow.

“Since it spreads the plague, why does it save the people?”

He is muttering to himself.Updates by vi p

He also understands.

Gao Ge just sees the same scene as he does.

If he cannot think through it, neither can Gao Ge for the moment.

Luckily, the fantasy is still going on.

When all the people start to give the golden monkey a kowtow, when every family starts to enshrine and worship the statute of the golden monkey, when all are talking about the golden monkey’s kindness, when the place is renamed as Golden Monkey Town, the golden monkey becomes bigger slowly again.

When it reappears in the sky and hides in the clouds to watch the people again, it gives a big smile with its body beginning to condense. Its body is undergoing a huge change.

Gao Ge takes a deep breath.

And then he exhales.

Then he does it again.

After doing that for several times, Gao Ge finally speaks.

“It is enjoying the stream of pilgrims and devouring the power of belief.” Gao Ge says.

Tang Jiusi is slightly shocked, “What do you mean?”

“It spreads plague first and then saves the people so that they will memorize its kind conducts and start to worship it as a god.” Gao Ge says, “It is like the thing that appeared on the Mount Duanlong and absorbed people’s Qi, but this monkey demon is even more horrid, which plays a better trick. They both play the dirty trick as a shortcut to elevate their capabilities and prolong their lives.”

Tang Jiusi is dumbfounded.

Gao Ge’s explanation overturns his world outlook completely.

Looking at those people enshrine and worship the statute of the golden monkey, Tang Jiusi has no idea what to say.

Are the people silly?

That’s because they are hoodwinked.

Of course they cannot be as clear-minded as Gao Ge and Tang Jiusi.

While the priest climbs a foot, the devil climbs ten feet.

“It is so detestable...” Tang Jiusi flies into a rage.

Clatter.

A crack appears in the sky.

It starts to fall apart.

The scene is finally over.

It becomes dark again.

They are still in the mound.

Until they hear... The footsteps.

They look forward and see a monkey enveloped by golden light, which seems to be old now. It is walking to their direction.

“Isn’t it dead?” Tang Jiusi is stunned.

He asks Gao Ge, “Is it still fantasy?”

“No, it is real.” Gao Ge says, “It is not dead yet.”
