Chapter 814: Two Roads
"Shi Mu, although your cultivation has reached the middle stage of the Holy Rank, if there are frequent wars in the River Star Domain today, and it is a long way to go, it is really dangerous to leave the clan rashly, you ...... Let's think again. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info After all, you have a special status......" Bai Zang said with a worried look on his face.
"Elder Baizang doesn't need to persuade again, Shi Mu has made up his mind, this matter is the best way to solve the current predicament, no matter what, I will give it a try. As for safety, I'm sure. Shi Mu smiled at Bai Zang and said.
"You've decided, do you have to go?" asked the Great Elder Bai Pu, raising his eyebrows.
"Yes, I wonder if the Great Elder has any information about this celebration?" Shi Mu nodded solemnly and asked in a changing tone.
"In that case, well, the Tianfeng clan mainly inhabits the Vermilion Bird Star, a main star in the southern part of the Tianhe Star Domain. Three months later, the celebration was held in the Fengming Valley, the sacred place of his clan. Bai Pu pondered for a moment and nodded.
"Thank you. Shi Mu bowed and said.
Bai Zang's lips moved slightly, and he wanted to persuade Shi Mu a few words, but when he saw Shi Mu shaking his head at him with a smile, he had no choice but to give up, bowed his hand to the two of them, and walked out of the hall by himself.
Shi Muben also wanted to leave, but before he reached the gate of the hall, he heard Bai Pu's voice behind him:
"Shi Mu, and leave slowly. ”
"Great Elder, what else is going on?" Shi Mu turned around and walked back to the center of the main hall, asking in surprise.
"The old man has something that I don't know. Bai Pu said so, looking at Shi Mu with his eyes.
"The Great Elder wants to ask, why do you have to go to the Tianfeng Clan?" Shi Mu smiled slightly and said:
Bai Pu was silent.
"Great Elder, rest assured, I went to the Tianfeng Clan this time to seek a way out for the entire Heavenly Giant Ape Clan. However, in addition to what I said before, there are some other factors, but I can't say it at this moment, so please forgive me. Shi Mu groaned for a moment and said.
"Since that great battle, the vitality of the clan has been greatly damaged, and it has not recovered after thousands of years, many clansmen have lost their fighting spirit, and do not want to increase casualties in vain, although I am a great elder, I can't forcibly go against the will of the clansmen on the surface, and I hope you can understand. Bai Pu said in a deep voice, somewhat helpless in his words.
Shi Mu understood that it was difficult to be a great elder. Shi Mu nodded slightly.
Bai Pu raised one hand, and the purple and red wooden staff in his hand lightly touched the void in front of him, and a ball of light immediately lit up at the top of the wooden staff, and a blood-red crystal jade hairpin emerged from it and flew down in front of Shi Mu.
Shi Mu was stunned, raised his hand to take the jade hairpin in his hand, and looked at it carefully.
This jade hairpin head is like a phoenix, the carving is lifelike, the hairpin body is transparent like a crystal, warm and moist like jade, and there are wisps of red filaments distributed inside, which looks like a blood mark in general, which is very strange.
"What does Great Elder mean by this?" Shi Mu looked up at Bai Pu and asked with some puzzlement.
"This phoenix blood jade hairpin is called 'Nirvana', according to legend, it is the essence and blood condensed when the first Tianfeng patriarch Nirvana was reborn, containing a wisp of pure Tianfeng blood, which is one of the several holy weapons of the Tianfeng clan, and is very important to the Tianfeng clan. Bai Pu said.
"How could the Holy Weapon of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan be in the Heavenly Giant Ape Clan?" Shi Mu asked with some puzzlement.
"This is a token sent by the Tianfeng Clan when they formed an alliance with the Mitian Giant Ape Clan. Take this with you this time. Bai Pu pondered for a moment, with a bit of reminiscence on his face, and said.
"This thing is so valuable, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate. Shi Mu hurriedly waved his hand and excused himself.
"Our Heavenly Giant Ape Clan is closed here, and we haven't been here for a long time, and we haven't even received an invitation to the Tianfeng Clan to hold a saint's succession ceremony. If you don't have this phoenix, how can you enter the land of the Tianfeng clan?" Bai Pu looked down at Shi Mu and said.
"Thank you, Elder. When Shi Mu heard this, he didn't say a word, and after carefully putting away the Nirvana Jade Hairpin, he thanked Bai Pu with his hand.
"Hehe, why bother saying thank you. Since you are already the fourth elder of our clan, you represent our giant ape clan. It must be remembered that although our clan has declined now, far less than it was back then, in the face of other clans, it must not extinguish its prestige. Bai Pu's voice suddenly vibrated and said loudly.
"Great Elder, don't worry. After that, the affairs of the clan continued to be bothered by Elder Lao. For example, although the spies in today's court have temporarily withdrawn, I am afraid that they will not give up, and there are some undercurrents in the clan, and they are not united. Shi Mu said solemnly.
"I will pay attention to this matter, although you can leave with peace of mind, if those Heavenly Court spies dare to appear, the old man will not spare them. You don't want to blame the people of the clan, some of them want to be in a corner of peace, and some of them want to keep their heads in obscurity, so that they are so obsessed with self-deception that they can't see the situation that my giant ape clan is facing now. Bai Pu said.
Shi Mu understood. Shi Mu nodded and said.
"It's a long way to go, and the situation in the star field is unpredictable, and I don't know how many turmoil there will be. Do you have any other requirements or needs? Bai Pu said.
"By the way, I don't know if the Great Elder knows, from us, how to get to the Vermilion Bird Star?" Shi Mu thought of something and hurriedly asked.
"As far as I know, to get to Vermilion Bird Star, you must first pass through the Bitter Forest Star. Bai Pu thought for a moment and said.
"Bitter Forest Star?" Shi Mu muttered.
"Not bad. The Tianhe Star Field, stretching and slender, is located at the key pass of this star field, it is a necessary place, and you can also inquire about some news there. Bai Pu said.
"Kulin Xing?'s name seems familiar, it seems that I've heard it somewhere. Shi Mu's brows furrowed slightly.
He seemed to have seen the star somewhere, and for a moment, he couldn't remember it.
"Hehe, this Bitter Forest Star is indeed a place with a great origin in the Tianhe Star Domain, and it was originally one of the Eight Desolate Ancient Clans, the main star of the Flying Rat Clan. Bai Pu said with a smile.
"Flying Rat Clan, hasn't it long since disappeared?" Shi Mu asked.
"It's hard to say. You must know that the Flying Rat Clan was the richest among the Eight Desolation Ancient Clans, and it was also an outlier, and most of its people were like ghosts, perhaps like our Giant Ape Clan, they lived in seclusion, maybe they were in seclusion. Bai Pu said noncommittally.
"What about after arriving at the Bitter Forest Star?" Shi Mu nodded slightly and continued to ask.
"Once there, you have two routes to choose from. One of them is close, and it only takes half a month. It's just that many planetary teleportation formations on this route may be damaged due to years of war, so it may be necessary to cross by warship in the middle. And because of the impact of war, there are often chaotic storms raging in this sea of stars, so it is not very safe. Bai Pu said.
"And what about the other one?" Shi Mu asked.
"The other one needs to take a detour, and you can't take the sea of stars in the first line, so the route is longer, about a month, but it is relatively safe. There are still three months to go before the celebration of the Tianfeng clan, so if you go here, there is plenty of time. These two paths are here, see for yourself. Bai Pu said, took out a jade slip from his arms with one hand, put it on his forehead, and then threw it to Shi Mu.
"Thank you, Great Elder, for your advice. Shi Mu put away the jade slip, bowed and said.
"Be careful in everything you do, no matter what happens, and come back safely. A little solemnity appeared on Bai Pu's old face, and he told again:
Shi Mu nodded in response, and then said goodbye and left.
He had just come out of the main hall when he saw Cai'er fluttering her wings and flying over.
"Stone, what are you doing in there? Why have you been in there for so long? I see that the other monkeys have already come out. Cai'er asked.
"I'll talk about it later. Shi Mu said.
With that, he waved his hand to summon the dragon feather flying car and flew towards the cave with Cai'er.
The original cave mansion has been destroyed, and the newly opened cave mansion is just a wide grotto, and since then, Bai Yao and Bai Feng have also been transferred away for some reason, and they no longer serve as Shi Mu's attendants.
After entering the grotto, Shi Mu said to Cai'er, "We have to pack up and get out of here." ”
"Where are you going?" said Cai'er.
"Vermilion Bird Star, Tianfeng Clan. Shi Mu replied.
"Great, Stone, we're going to find your daughter-in-law......"
Before Cai'er's words fell, a light lit up in the grotto, and the void fluctuated, and a graceful shadow appeared on Shi Mu's side.
"Yanluo?" Shi Mu exclaimed in surprise.
The person who came was Yan Luo, who was wearing a set of silver armor, which set off her delicate figure perfectly, and a pair of beautiful eyes glanced at Cai'er, but she didn't seem to have any emotion.
Cai'er was a little hairy by her, and hurriedly flew to Shi Mu's shoulder, muttering in a low voice: "Shi, you summoned her before, but she didn't come, why did she suddenly appear now." Could it be that I heard ......"
"Don't talk too much, go out and watch the door. Shi Mu raised his hand and flicked it, then knocked Cai'er off the shoulder and commanded.
Yan Luo's expression seemed to be a little wrong, and he suddenly appeared at this moment, afraid that he had something to say to himself.
Although Cai'er has a poisonous tongue, she has great eyesight, and when she saw that the situation was wrong, she immediately slipped out.
After driving Cai'er away, Shi Mu took a closer look at Yan Luo, but found that her face was a little pale, and the aura on her body seemed to be a little unstable.
"Yanluo, what's wrong with you, why do you look like you're seriously injured and haven't healed?, is something happening?" Shi Mu's eyes flashed, and he asked with concern.
"You don't have to worry about my business. I'm here this time just to tell you that the Tianhe Star Domain is far more dangerous than you imagined. Besides, I may not be able to help you in the near future, so take care of yourself. Yan Luo waved his hand casually and said.
Shi Mu opened his mouth, wanting to ask something, but in the end he didn't ask.
He knew that with Yanluo's character, if he didn't let him worry about it, then no matter how much he asked, it would be in vain.
"What Cai'er just said...... What is it?" Yan Luo asked after a moment's pause.
"I'm going to go to the Vermilion Bird Star where the Tianfeng Clan is located right away, Zhong Xiu may be there. Shi Mu was stunned for a moment, then reacted and hurriedly replied.
Yan Luo listened, bowed slightly, and his expression did not change, but he said lightly, "Take care", and his body turned into a ray of light and disappeared in place.
