Journey to the West: Sacrifice to the Ten Thousand Realms, start by exchanging stones for skills

Chapter 11 Red Horse Monkey: Only by keeping a low profile can you live longer!
"Currently, you and I are the only white-haired monkeys who have opened their spiritual orifices up and down the Huaguo Mountain. Otherwise, why do you think I'm looking for you?"

When the old monkey saw that Jiang Ye didn't know anything, he didn't blame him. Instead, he patiently introduced: "I'm afraid you don't know. Unlike ordinary species, our Red Horse Monkeys can be born through natural breeding."

"Only after you have opened your spiritual orifice can you be called a red-haired horse monkey. Otherwise, you will only be a white-haired horse monkey for the rest of your life."

"It's the same with the gibbons. If they don't open their spiritual orifices, they're just gibbons. Only when they open their spiritual orifices can they become gibbons!"

Hearing this, Jiang Ye suddenly felt enlightened.

I originally thought that I was just an ordinary white-haired horse monkey on Huaguo Mountain, but I didn't expect that I was one of the two red-haired horse monkeys?

No wonder I have made such rapid progress in practicing "Three Pictures of Tongtian" and "Thunderbolt Stick Technique".

He is one of the four monkeys in the world, and his footwork and talent are among the best among this monster clan. It is not surprising that he can reach this level.

In this way, when Sun Wukong comes back, wouldn't he be able to be the marshal of the monkeys?
Thinking of this, Jiang Ye was a little happy.

With this level of identity, it will be easier to hang out with Sun Wukong in the future.

Of course, he did not expect Sun Wukong to protect him, but hoped to obtain some resources for himself through Sun Wukong.

Now, after Jiang Ye confirmed his identity, he was also a little curious.

Since he is a red-breasted horse monkey, one of the four monkeys in the world, he must have some innate magical powers.

Jiang Ye remembered that it was introduced in the original work of "Journey to the West" that the red-breasted horse monkey was gifted with supernatural powers.

Why haven't I discovered anything for so long?

He couldn't help but ask the old monkey: "Old monkey, you haven't told me yet, what are your abilities?"

The old monkey was a little proud and said slowly: "As red-armed monkeys, we are naturally different from ordinary monkeys."

"We are born with yin and yang, know how to deal with people, are good at going in and out, and can avoid death and prolong life!"

Hearing this, Jiang Ye couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

What this old monkey said is indeed exactly the same as in the original work. So, he must have these abilities.

It seems that the reason why it doesn't work is that it must go through some necessary steps.

Even though I don’t know how to do it, there is a red-armed monkey in front of me, so I can ask him!
Jiang Ye hurriedly asked: "How do you learn these skills? Please teach me!"

Hearing Jiang Ye's words, the old monkey became embarrassed and said, "Well, what I said before was just what I heard. I haven't learned them all, I only know one of them."

Hearing this, Jiang Ye was a little dumbfounded.

It seems that the innate magical powers mentioned in the original work can only be awakened by the Red Horse Monkey, but it does not mean that every Red Horse Monkey can awaken them.

It's not difficult to understand if you think about it this way. If the red-armed monkeys on Huaguo Mountain had these innate magical powers, they would probably have nothing to do with Monkey King.

Each of these innate magical powers is an extremely powerful existence. If they were all integrated into one, it is unimaginable how powerful they would be?
Although these talents of the red-breasted horse monkey are not meant to increase combat ability or cultivation, they should not be underestimated.

Being born with yin and yang is equivalent to being able to see the higher dimensions of the world.

And being good at getting in and out and avoiding death and prolonging life are excellent skills for staying alive!
It seems that even becoming a red-armed horse monkey does not mean that there is a bright future.

At least these innate magical powers must be developed first.

Jiang Ye said disappointedly: "Then you don't know anything?"

The old monkey shook his head and said: "That's not true. Although I haven't learned all the innate magical powers, I was lucky enough to learn one of them."

Jiang Ye asked: "What?"

The old monkey said proudly: "I can avoid death and prolong life!"

Seeing that Jiang Ye didn't look too surprised, he continued: "Hey, don't think that avoiding death and extending life is not powerful." "This ability is much more powerful than the others!"

Jiang Ye was even more puzzled. Isn't this a way to avoid death and prolong life just to survive?

Although it is indeed very good, why is it more powerful than the others?
Jiang Ye scratched his head and asked, "How do you say this?"

The old monkey chuckled and said, "Did you know that before you were born, there was another Red Horse Monkey on Huaguo Mountain?"

"He has awakened several talents. He not only knows the yin and yang, but also knows how to deal with people and is good at getting in and out."

Jiang Ye was surprised: "Really? Then where is he now?"

The old monkey said quietly: "He has been dead for decades!"

"Although he has awakened the first three talents, after his cultivation reached the peak of Lianxu Hedao, he has been stuck in that state and cannot become an Earth Immortal."

"So he died."

"And I was born at the same time as him. Although I didn't become an immortal, I am still alive and well because I awakened to avoid death and extend life!"

Hearing this, Jiang Ye was deeply touched, and finally understood why the old monkey said that avoiding death and extending life was more powerful than the first three.

Because even if you learn all the first three things, there is no guarantee that you will be able to break through and become an immortal.

Because the breakthrough to becoming an immortal ultimately requires a certain amount of luck and luck, as well as complete skills and magical powers.

Without these, even if you become a red-armed horse monkey and awaken your talent, it will be in vain.

In this way, it is very important to avoid death and prolong life!
No matter what, only by surviving can everything be hopeful and possible.

This is especially true for Jiang Ye.

As long as he can survive for a long time, with his current Tai Chi altar, he will be able to become a saint sooner or later!
He quickly said: "Old monkey, can you teach me how to avoid death and prolong life?"

When the old monkey heard this, he shook his head and said, "Little Shitou, do you really think the talent of our red-breasted horse monkey is that simple?"

"If I could teach it, I would have learned the other three talents long ago."

"You can only realize this by yourself."

"If you have enough understanding, you can slowly learn it after opening the spiritual aperture."

Jiang Ye couldn't help but be disappointed, his happiness was in vain.

This old monkey said nothing except telling himself that he was a red-collared horse monkey!
He said helplessly: "You called me here just to talk about this?"

The old monkey became serious and said solemnly: "Of course not!"

"I just want to remind you, little monkey, that even if you are blessed with immortality and have a spiritual orifice opened, don't get carried away!"

"Only by keeping a low profile can you live longer!"

"The red-breasted monkey I told you before didn't die of old age normally."

Jiang Ye was surprised: "How did you die?"

The old monkey said: "When our Monkey King was still on the mountain, he liked to be in the limelight, giving pointers on this and that, and even guided the Monkey King to go to sea to find immortals!"

"As a result, the Monkey King died shortly after he went to sea! This is not a low-key ending!"

"What you did today is too high-profile. If you don't know how to restrain yourself, you will follow in his footsteps sooner or later!"

"I am kindly reminding you because I hope that there will be another red-breasted monkey."
