After staying in the bedroom for a while, Shi Mu returned to the main hall, pushed open the wooden door on the back wall of the main hall, and walked towards the back of the hall. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the back of the main hall is a courtyard full of verdant mangosteens, and behind the mangosteens, there is a very spacious cave chamber.

Walking into the secret room, Shi Mu closed the stone door and sat down on the edge of the stone bed in the cave.

"Stone, why do I think they don't treat you as a fourth elder, but as a prisoner?

"The Heavenly Giant Ape Clan has been hidden for so many years, and they just don't want to be found by the Heavenly Court and fall into a dangerous situation. Now that I'm new here, for them, after all, they are still outsiders, and they are understandably cautious. Shi Mu said.

"Stone, I seem to have seen a miserable life for a while to come...... Cai'er said with a sad expression.

When Shi Mu heard this, he couldn't help but smile dumbly.

While the two were talking, they suddenly heard Bai Yao's voice outside: "Fourth Elder Qiqi, Elder Baizang is visiting." ”

"Hey, it's the golden monkey here?" Cai'er said with some surprise.

"Please. Shi Mu's eyes flashed, and he replied.

With that, he took Cai'er out of the secret room and opened the door to welcome the second elder in.

As soon as he came in, Elder Baizang smiled and asked, "Shi Mu, what is wrong with coming here?"

Shi Mu was slightly stunned, but his heart was slightly hot.

Elder Baizang called him by his name like this, instead of calling him Shi Daoyou or anything else, which seemed a little more cordial, which showed that this Elder Baizang really recognized him and did not treat him as an outsider.

"Thank you Elder Baizang for your concern, Shi Mu didn't feel any discomfort. Shi Mu said.

As soon as his words fell, Cai'er complained rather dissatisfied: "If there were not two pillars watching over us outside, it would be much more comfortable!"

"Cai'er, don't be rude. Shi Mu said in a low voice.

"Haha, this parrot spirit pet of yours is straightforward! However, Bai Yao and Bai Feng are all people of the Great Elder, although they don't belong to our faction, but they are not Bai Pi's people, you don't have to worry too much. Bai Zang laughed.

"You faction, Elder Baizang, what does this mean? Could it be that there are still factions in the Heavenly Giant Ape Clan?" Shi Mu wondered.

"To tell you the truth, there are factions. The clan is of the same heart as me, and wants to unite the Eight Desolation Ancient Clan and many forces in the star field that do not belong to the Heavenly Court, counterattack the Heavenly Court, and avenge the patriarch of the Bai Gong and those who died in the clan, called the Hawks. And Bai Pi's family believes that at this time, my giant ape clan has not yet recovered its combat strength, and it is not suitable to clash head-on with Heavenly Court, and it is a dove to continue to hide in the world, recuperate, and then take revenge on Heavenly Court after its strength grows. Bai Zang said.

In fact, what Elder Bai Pi said seems to have some truth. Shi Mu's eyes flashed slightly, and he said noncommittally.

"Hehe, his remarks are just self-talk, self-deception. If we want to recuperate and strengthen our strength, how can Heavenly Court give us time? In the past thousand years, how has Heavenly Court ever given up tracking me? Besides, we have been recuperating for nearly a thousand years, and how much strength has we regained? It is really far from when Patriarch Bai Gong led it a thousand years ago. Bai Zang said.

When Shi Mu heard this, he didn't speak.

"Not only that, but because our clan has not been born for a long time and does not communicate with the outside world, now the prestige of my Miyang, Diyin, and even Tianhe Star Domain, my Mitian Giant Ape Clan has already plummeted, and in the past hundred years, not many people have cared about it. When Bai Zang said this, his face was quite gloomy.

Shi Mu frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, raised his head and asked, "I wonder who is stronger between the hawks and the doves?" Shi Mu asked.

After hearing this, Bai Zang shook his head with a smile, and said: "The strength of the two factions is equal, among the eight caves, there are three cave masters who agree with me, and three who agree with Bai Pi. ”

"Eight Caves, what are Eight Caves?" Shi Mu asked with some confusion.

"Shi Daoyou has not been here for a long time, and it is normal not to know. In fact, in my Heavenly Giant Ape Clan, under the elders, there are still eight cave masters, commanding the eight ape clans. Bai Zang explained simply.

"Oh, what about the other two cave masters, and which faction do they belong to?" Shi Mu asked.

"The two of them agreed with the Great Elder that they did not advocate an immediate counterattack, nor did they believe that they should continue to hide in seclusion, and belonged to the neutral faction. Although this faction seems to have only two holes, it has a clear advantage in numbers. Bai Zang replied.

"Oh, I see, I don't know what caused the current situation?" Shi Mu asked with a slight frown.

"Alas, the position is different. In recent years, there have been people who followed the patriarch of Bai Gong who have passed away, and all of these people are hawks, so the strength of our faction has been weakening. Most of the people who followed Bai Pi Na were the descendants who had grown up after this war, and they did not have a deep feeling about the great changes experienced by the previous clan, they had suffered turmoil when they were young, and then they had returned to stability, and they had gradually become accustomed to a comfortable life, forgetting the shame and hatred that the heavenly court had brought to their clansmen. As everyone knows, forgetting history is tantamount to betrayal. Bai Zang said with a somewhat gloomy face.

"Perhaps because of the acceptance of the inheritance of the White Ape Ancestor, I once dreamed back to the fierce battle that the White Ape Ancestor led the apes to fight, and witnessed the scene of many ape ancestors fighting bravely to kill the enemy, and I still remember the fearless posture of the four ape generals. Shi Mu thought of that scene back then and said sincerely.

"Oh, what did you see? Tell me about it. Hearing this, Bai Zang looked surprised and hurriedly asked.

"I remember......" Shi Mu nodded and said.

In the next quarter of an hour, Shi Mu carefully recounted the scene in the sea of stars he saw in his dream to Bai Zang.

As a result, Bai Zangzhi listened with excitement on his face, and his fists clenched.

After hearing this, Bai Zang sighed and said: "Bai Pi did have a little bit of blood back then, but unfortunately now he has almost forgotten it." ”

"I don't know what Elder Baizang means by this?" Shi Mu asked puzzled.

"Back then, under the patriarch of Bai Gong, there were five Divine Realm generals, and you saw four of them in your dream. The green ape led by the leader was the Great Elder Bai Pu, the black ape was named Bai Lu, and the white ape was named Bai Duo, which were the second elder and the third elder at that time. And the red ape is Bai Pi. Bai Zang explained.

"I see. Shi Mu listened to it and suddenly realized.

"Back then, I was the fourth elder of the clan, and I was ordered by the patriarch of Bai Gong to transfer the heavy treasures and juniors of the clan, and I did not directly participate in the final decisive battle, and later I only knew that the patriarch and Bai Lu and Bai Duo were killed in battle, as for the specific battle situation, Bai Pu and Bai Pi were unwilling to mention it, and what I knew was not exhaustive. Bai Zang said with a somewhat gloomy expression.

After hearing this, Shi Mu felt a little emotional, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Fortunately, God favors you, Bai Gong has a spirit in the sky, and you have come to our giant ape clan. I think that with the Bai Gong heir here, it is natural that more and more clansmen will join the hawks, and the counterattack on the heavenly court to take revenge is just around the corner. A glimmer of light lit up in Bai Zang's eyes, and he said solemnly.

"What Heavenly Court has done has long been indignant to people and gods, and it has long been Shi Mu's lifelong wish to hit Heavenly Court and kill ten thousand immortals. Shi Mu said loudly.

"Okay, a good one hits the heavenly court and kills ten thousand immortals. Bai Zang's face was happy and said excitedly.

"Elder Baizang, Shi Mu doesn't know if he should ask about something?" Shi Mu said.

"But it doesn't hurt to say that. Bai Zang said.

"Dare to ask how many clansmen are there in the clan?" Shi Mu asked.

Bai Zang pondered for a moment and said, "Although the Heavenly Beast bloodline is favored by the heavens and is far stronger than ordinary bloodlines, it also has a drawback, that is, it is not easy to reproduce. After the Great War, our tribe suffered heavy losses, and only more than 10,000 people escaped here, and the number of people who had recuperated for more than 1,000 years had only doubled, and now there are less than 30,000. ”

"How many hawks are there, and how many doves are there?" Shi Mu's heart moved, and he asked again.

"The number of hawks and doves is similar, about 10,000 people, and the others are almost all centrists. Bai Zang replied.

Speaking of this, Shi Mu suddenly remembered a question, so he asked, "Dare to ask Elder Baizang, which faction does the clansman named Baishi I met before belong to?"

"Speaking of this person, it is quite special. His temperament has always been withdrawn, he rarely interacts with others, and he has never expressed his position, so he does not belong to any of these three factions, but he did not expect that he has long been a minion of the Heavenly Court. Bai Zang said angrily.

Shi Mu was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Which faction does Bai Hong belong to?"

Speaking of Bai Hong, Bai Zang's face showed a hint of joy: "Bai Hong is an unborn genius among the younger generations, and his talent has surpassed Bai Pi, and he is the first person in the clan who deserves to be the descendant." In addition, he has cultivated the Nine Turns Xuangong to the Sixth Turn, and until you came, he had been privately considered to be the successor of Bai Gong. Luckily, he's one of my hawks. ”

Shi Mu listened and nodded silently.

"Stone, no wonder that guy got on the bar with you as soon as he came up, what should I do?" Cai'er said with a sudden realization.

"Hahaha, Bai Hong's kid is not very good-tempered, but after making sure that you are the heir of Bai Gong, he will definitely serve you wholeheartedly. Bai Zang said with a smile.

In the following time, Shi Mu asked the other party a lot of questions.

Bai Zang has long recognized the identity of Shi Mu's white ape ancestor from the bottom of his heart, and he knows everything about Shi Mu, and he has endless words.

The two wanted to talk very happily, but Bai Zang didn't leave until the evening, and when he left, he didn't forget to tell Shi Mu that he could go to him at any time if he had something.

After sending Bai Zang away, Shi Mu did not return to the secret room, but came to the bedroom, sat cross-legged on the bed, and fell into deep thought.

Cai'er called him several times before he woke him up from his contemplation.

"Stone, what are you thinking, why don't you even bother me?" Cai'er said grumbling.
