Su Ming
Green, it was a green mountain.
A land of endless mountains straight like dragon’s backbone was widely spread across this boundless land filled with vegetation, cries of bird beasts echoing.
From afar, it seemed that the protruding mountains were five mountain peaks, as if human’s fingers, attempting to catch the sky, a indented large stone on the middle mountain peak was a young man leaning against the shade with a knitting basket beside him, herbs piled in it, spreading the smell of herbs that shrouded around the area.
The teenager had handsome and refined features, his body was thing, making him seem slightly weak, wearing a beast skin shirt, on his neck neck was a ring of white crescent beast teeth, his hair rather disheveled, simply tied by a string.
He sat there, in his hands was a book of about 10 pages made of beast skin that was stuck together in hands, he was reading his book with relish, his head while reading.
“Barbarian ancestors, creating men by opening the sky, leaving many descendants…..man who was called a barbarian warrior, flew towards the sky, into the earth, moving the mountains and flipping the sea…..the men who could travel in the sky, could pick the night stars……” The teenager reads, and sighs.
“Without barbarians, how to form us……barbarian warriors……barbarian warriors……Su ming, you can only pick herbs, and can only become a normal doctor, becoming a barbarian warrior, there is no such possibility.” The teenager laughs at himself and puts down his book, looking at the far heaven and earth he started to daze.
He had read this book many times, memorizing and reciting it like the back of his hand, merely missing a few sentences.
” Days like round, if the parties to, as boundless, imitation of sight…….” As Su Ming chant, his brain imagined the world of that book, unconsciously, the sky starts to darken, grey clouds can be seen in the endless of the heaven and earth forming.
(Puttty: I can’t be bothered any more, IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO TLC THE FIRST FEW SENTENCES OF THE BOOK I CANT DO IT NO MORE.)
The wind blows, bringing humidity that fell on the plants and trees, raining sounds are heard.
After looking at the grey cloud, Su ming instantly becomes energized。
“Grandpa calculated correctly, there is Oolong saliva today!” Su Ming’s eyes brightened, he stands up quickly and places the book on his hand into his arms, his left hand grabbing the basket beside him and placing it on his back, swiftly, he takes the rope beside him, and climes towards the mountain top.
From afar, the weak body of this young man blasted out strong determination, like a monkey, he travels about a dozen miles with a few leaps.
The grey clouds between heaven and earth, rolled in, thunder sounds were heard, it was as if the heaven was angry at this land of mountains, the clouds connects heaven and earth, a dark sight, moving closer in a split second.
Hence Su Ming climbs faster, as the grey clouds are dispersed in seconds, he had already reached the location ten miles away from the mountain top, there was a weird big protruding stone, looking natural made, floating in the air, with many holes as big as fists, the appearance of this weird stone is like a snake which was merging with the mountain.
Under that weird stone was stone with the shape of the teeth of a vampire , which shocked people, making it special because of the part protruding out of the stone, which makes the stone looked like it is floating, very difficult to climb over, unless you can fly.
Su Ming used his left hand to grab hold on the rope and his right hand to take out a small bottle from his basket which he puts in his mouth, slowly moving his body towards the direction of the weird stone, he moved a few miles, making the rope on his left hand tilt, clam on the mountain wall, body against it, looking up at that sky with grey clouds, glazed at it, not moving at all.
After a while, grey clouds cover the sky, thunder sounds were heard, while making one’s ear deaf, the unorganized storm, blowing on this mountain making it seem like it will pick up from the ground, suming in this storm, his fingers that was holding on the mountain wall have whiten, but he did not move, the eyes that looked at the sky, had showed determination.
The storm grew bigger, moving the plants on this mountain, sounding like a beast roar, making the fallen plants on this mountain curl up, making the sky everywhere, making all the plants dance in this storm.
Even some of the trunk and some small living creatures, curled up a lively, being thrown out when spinning, making horrible sounds, and hidden in the storm.
In this storm, su ming can’t stay for long, the whole sky is totally covered by grey clouds, under the thunder, heavy rain drops drip down, making this land in a while, become a underwater world.
The rain, continuously fall down, heavier and heavier, Su Ming still clings on deadly on the rope that was wet by the rain water, against the mountain wall, allowing the rain water drench him, but he still never move, glaring at the below of the snake looking weird stone , the part where looks like a vampire teeth.
After unknown time, the rain still increases, heaven and earth is very misty, the vampire teeth that su ming is glaring at, is being washed by the rain water, gives out a black liquid.
The black liquid merges with the rain water, making a water line, flowing downwards.
Su ming looking at this sight, his eyes looked happy, but he still did not move as usual, until the black liquid lessen, showing a golden color in the end at that moment, his eyes focused, without hesitation, he release his hands, while sliding down, his right hand takes the bottle from his mouth.
His left hand holds the tilted rope, at the moment he follows his right hand and release, his body swing, follows the rope in a high speed rushes towards the teeth like shaped rock.
Due to the tilting of the rope, and his position is very correct, it was all almost in between the thunder, su ming had already followed the rope and reached beside the floating teeth stone, his left hand clings on the rope while right hand holds the small bottle, in that coming moment, quickly placed that small bottle under the teeth stone, using the rope and swings back to the time limit, and filled up half of the bottle with the golden liquid.
But at that time, a sharp sizzling sound was heard, approximately four to five strong arms, half a mile long black centipede, had came out from the hole as big as a fist on that weird stone, forcefully rushed towards su ming who was dangling on the air.
Su ming did not looked shocked, at the moment when the centipede appeared, he immediately released his left hand which was grapping on the rope, his body falls down, avoiding the centipede’s attack.
” Red!”. Su ming whole body falls downwards quickly, the wind that was like small knifes had made his body harden, avoiding the centipedes, but if he falls onto the ground, he will become meaty pile.
But he did not panic, seeing a red shadow from the side of the cliff grabbing hold on a rope and rushing out towards su ming’s falling body, moving closer, pulls Su ming in a time, that red shadow was a red monkey that was gritting its teeth, its eyes showing intelligence.
One person and one monkey, following the rope that was on the cliff, which was also where su ming was reading, the eye of su ming showed panic, immediately kept the small bottle he was holding all along.
” Red, we have to hurry, this time I had s.n.a.t.c.hed too much Oolong saliva! Eh, what are you holding on your hands?” su ming said, as he saw the claw of the monkey holding a small piece of black broken pieces.
That monkey’s attention had been alert, he moved his claw behind his back, roar a few times continuously, su ming saw that time that was running short, didn’t speak much, and paced faster, he moved his body and grabbed a rope, swinging swiftly with the monkey downwards.
Behind his back, sizzling sound covered the sky, only seeing the black centipede following the stone and moved down, like a black line moving down, chasing quickly.
That red monkey kept speaking, continuously roaring beside su ming, red shadow in a blink moment, sometimes keep looking backwards at those centipedes, his eyes looked frighten and angry colors.
” It’s also not the first time we had escape like this, the grey dragon don’t dare to move down the mountain, you don’t have to act, old rules, this Oolong saliva we’ll split into half.” As Su ming escaped, he spoke rather lazily, but as he spoke a smile appeared on.
This pair of man and monkey was very familiar with this mountain, adding the fact that to the centipedes, there is some places that they dare not to go into, but instead they moved around it to pa.s.s it. Because of that, Su ming and the monkey who wasn’t as fast as the centipedes, were able to escape by jumping down constantly, each time they jumped they would grasp on to a rope after a while, and moves down the mountain, and into the forest, and disappears.
Those centipedes dare not to go down the mountain, after roaring a few times, it unwillingly climbs up the mountain again.
The grey clouds came quickly, and similarly leaves quickly, after a number of hours, this land of mountain resumed it’s original state, the rolling grey clouds had moved towards other places and left.
At the side of the forest, Su ming and the monkey walked out, at this time the sky is starting to darken, at the horizon where a weak fire light shone was where Su ming was staying.
“You have already finished the the small half that I gave you and you still was more?” Walking out of the forest, Su ming was drenched, but he didn’t mind, he smiled as he looked at his back at his own little monkey.
This monkey was clever, he had found it three years ago at this forest, although there was some conflicts, they had became friends in the end.
The monkey blinked his eyes, moving his head he expressed out a face of hesitation, but he quickly gave the black broken pieces on his hands to su ming, continuously roaring a few sentences, showing that he wanted to exchange with that Oolong saliva.
“Okay, I’ll give you some again, but I don’t want this broken stone, you keep it.” Su ming smiled, taking out the small bottle from his basket, he gave it to the monkey.
The monkey immediately grabbed and drank it, his face showing a intoxicated expression. His body shook a few times, and blurred, he threw those small black broken pieces of stones with the small bottle to su ming, and jumped a few times, and disappear in the forest.
Su ming looked at the bottle which had only a small bit left, he smiled, not minding the monkey and placed it back into his basket, sizing up the black broken pieces of stone.
