Chapter 125: Ancient Songs of the Past
The green snake demon army commanded by the old white monkey has been stationing at the foot of the mountain of the civet tribe, and has been standing still, which is completely different from the demon world when the tribes of the demon world have fought with each other for many years, once the enemy is **naked rushing into the bloody fight, although under the order of the old white monkey general, the little demons in the demon army are still honestly staying in the barracks, but some private dissatisfaction still comes out from time to time.
There are doubts, there are combative and unbearable, and more are sneering and ridiculing the old white monkey behind their backs, in the past among the Azure Snake Demon Clan, many young demon generals and demon soldiers do not look down on the old white monkey, if it were not for the green snake lord Yulin Niangniang saw that he was particularly preferential and valued by the old courtiers, I am afraid that the old white monkey would not know where to be kicked by these young and strong rising stars.
And this time, the Green Snake tribe defeated the Red Tiger and wiped out the clan, the morale of the whole army was extremely high, and the young demon generals all screamed and wanted to kill the Heishui River immediately, rush to the Black Phoenix Old Nest Fengming City, and annihilate the Black Phoenix Tribe, the No. 1 enemy of the Green Snake Bloodline. Who knew that Yulin Niangniang didn't know why, but she suddenly changed her mind, stopped going north, and went to attack these inconspicuous small tribes on the south bank of the Heishui River.
It's really a hell, these little demon clans of small doors and small households, usually the Green Snake tribe doesn't look at them with a straight eye, what do you care about them? Okay, in fact, even if you defeat these tribes, you won't be able to share much oil and water, how can it be exciting to fight that behemoth of Heifeng?
If you really want to defeat Fengming City, the Green Snake Demon Army from top to bottom, all of them are refreshed, killing demons to the full, grabbing goods to the soft, just thinking about it makes people unbearable, but the result is empty.
Yulin Niangniang must not and dare not blame and complain, there must be some treacherous and foolish fool who slandered her, given that every demon general is now asking for war, this crime is obviously going to fall on the head of the old white monkey.
This old monkey is getting old, and he doesn't stop, and he doesn't let everyone fight the black phoenix, so forget it, but he came to the small civet tribe mountain with a group of people and horses, and he didn't dare to start a war with a cowardly look, is this guy a demon clan?
All kinds of rumors spread privately in this demon army, and Shen Shi heard some of them. Speaking of which, his current identity here in the demon clan is the ghost and witch clan. Although he didn't know what the origin of this so-called ghost and witch was, he didn't care so much about the bald head, so he insisted on it first. However, he still went to inquire quietly afterwards, and only then did he know that the so-called ghost and witch clan was actually a rather peculiar one of the many tribes in the demon world.
To a certain extent, ghosts and witches are different from other demon tribes, there are few similar phenomena of settlement, they are often alone, and the inheritance is also very mysterious, it is said that they are some very strange witchcraft, which are poison, Gu, black witchcraft, and even occasionally some ghosts and witches will use rare ghost summoning magic, manipulating the corpses and undead, which is creepy, and it is said that the name of ghost witch comes from this.
Even if it is a cruel and easy-to-kill race like the demon clan, most people have been respectful and even disgusted with ghosts and witches, who also belong to one of the demon clans for some reason.
Shen Shi came to the Green Snake Clan with this identity, and those demon generals who were more virtuous looked at him and didn't take it to heart, but the ordinary demon clan soldiers stayed away from him one by one, but this saved Shen Shi a lot of trouble, these days, he has the best relationship with the two people in the demon clan, one is the old white monkey, and the other is the simple-minded pig demon Shen Shi.
After hearing these rumors, many of them were inadvertently heard by him, no way, the low-level demon clan soldiers really carried too many traces of the rudeness of the demon beasts, and they didn't know how to hide it at all, so they complained loudly.
Shen Shi counted the days, and came to the mountain of this civet tribe and camped for three days, so far the old white monkey still has no intention of starting a war, it is indeed a little wrong, no wonder the little demons are full of complaints. With this in mind, he planned to go to the old white monkey and ask him what his plans were.
Shen Shi first went to the old white monkey's residence in the barracks, but he pounced, the old white monkey was not here, and asked the little demon guarding next to him, in the little demon soldier's look of disgust and disgust, as if he would be infected by Shen Shi with a lot of poisonous insects and dirty things if he said a word to Shen Shi, Shen Shi learned with difficulty that the old white monkey seemed to be holding the wine jar and where he was resting, looking at that direction, it seemed to be the grove he went to a few days ago.
He then turned to leave, no longer caring about the relieved little demon behind him, and came all the way to the edge of the grove, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that the surroundings were indeed quiet and unoccupied, and he did not see the figure of the old white monkey. Shen Shi frowned, and was wondering if he was not here, when he suddenly heard a low and hoarse singing voice from a little deeper in the woods:
Open the world...... Breaking the Hongmeng ...... The Demon Comes Out ...... Wan Shining......
The singer's voice was hoarse like a black crow, low and ugly, but for some reason, Shen Shi stopped and listened attentively, only listening to the song behind after the first few words, suddenly high, although it was still hoarse, but it was even more reckless and ancient, and there was a hint of generosity and heroism, faintly revealing a trace of recklessness in the world.
Laughing at the world...... Ant ...... But I am a demon...... Immortal......
Phi Jianjian...... Behead the enemy...... Blood gushing...... Thirst will drink......
......
He turned the two big trees, and saw that under the trunk of the tree, a rickety old figure held the wine jar, slapped the mouth of the altar with one hand, and sang softly while looking up, the old monkey's face was solemn and solemn, staring at the blue sky and the sky, and at the eye sockets, there was a slight light flashing in the corners of the eyes, as if he was remembering the past of his ancestors, immersed and unable to extricate himself.
Shen Shi stared at him silently, and after a while, coughed lightly.
The old white monkey's body was shocked, and he turned his head to look at him, first stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on the monkey's face, beckoned to Shen Shi, and said, "Little stone, come here." As if inadvertently, he rubbed his eyes casually and wiped off the crystal water stains.
Shen Shi walked up to the old white monkey, sat down under another tree opposite him, and frowned: "What did you call me just now, you don't call me a good stone, why do you suddenly call me a little stone?"
The old white monkey smiled and said, "You guy, it's only been since I was brought out of the Black Prison Mountain, and I've lived a hundred and one years anyway, what's the point of calling you a small stone?"
Shen Shi rolled his eyes at him, speechless for a moment. In terms of longevity alone, the demon clan is born with a strong physique, in fact, it will live longer than the ordinary human race, not to mention the bloodline of the high-level demon race, it is the low-level ordinary demon race, which is usually more than twice the lifespan of the mortal race of the human race.
It's just that today's demon world is chaotic, and bloody fights are commonplace, and if most of the demon clans don't die in the war, they are easy to have some big or small injuries for various reasons, and most of them are difficult to live past fifty or sixty years old. Therefore, like the old white monkey, it is really rare to be one hundred and ten years old now, which is really rare among ordinary demon clans.
But at this moment, the old white monkey moved out to talk about it, and the stone pig had no choice, so he had to say helplessly: "Whatever you want." By the way, you were humming here just now as if you were singing, I didn't think you still had this ability?"
Most of the ordinary demon clans get rid of the vulgar habits of the demon beasts who are not pure, such as songs, which are obviously noble hobbies, Shen Shi really hasn't heard it from the mouths of other demon clans, and in the life of the demon clan on weekdays, what he hears more is usually scolding each other: Lao Tzu skinned you, demolished your bones, robbed your wife and gave me cubs......
The old white monkey was not in a hurry to answer, but asked him first, "How do you feel after listening to this song?"
Shen Shi Zhengse said: "It's ugly, it's very ugly!"
"Smack!" The old white monkey directly smashed the wine jar in his hand, Shen Shi laughed, easily caught it, and brought it to his mouth and wanted to take a sip, but as soon as he got close to his face, he felt a sour breath coming to his face, and immediately dispelled this idea, and threw the wine jar back to the old white monkey, and said with a smile,
"What is it that you sing with a broken voice? Anyway, I haven't heard you hum before, what is this song?"
The old white monkey caught the wine jar, brought it to his mouth and took a sip, and said lightly: "This is a song handed down by the demon clan in ancient times, it is said that on the heyday of the Heavenly Demon Royal Court, this song was the military song of the royal court's army. ”
Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, nodded slowly, and said, "No wonder, although your voice is not good, but the song just now sounded like another extraordinary momentum." ”
The old white monkey sighed, with a bit of remembrance on his face, and said in a low voice: "I have seen from the scroll that in the past, when the royal court was strong, the demon army swept the world and swept the world, and every time they went out, the soldiers sang this military song in unison, the momentum was like madness, shaking the mountains and rivers, and the young people were invincible in the wind......
As he spoke, his voice gradually increased, and it seemed that there was still a bit of boiling blood left in his old body, and an old monkey's face also showed a little excitement. Shen Shi looked at him from the side, silent.
Out of the corner of the old white monkey's eyes, he saw Shen Shi's calm face, and his words stopped abruptly, and after a while, he whispered, "You don't understand this, do you?"
Shen Shi said honestly: "Yes, no one has ever told me before. ”
The old white monkey's lips squirmed a few times, with a trace of pain on his face, but after all, he still sighed and said, "I don't blame you, among this demon clan, there are few people who still remember these things back then." ”
Shen Shi looked at the old white monkey with a gloomy face, those deep wrinkles seemed to be squeezed together, and for some reason he suddenly couldn't bear it, so he changed the topic and said, "By the way, old monkey, now that we have been stationed here for three days, why haven't we started a war yet, what do you mean?"
The old white monkey seemed to be slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect Shen Shi to suddenly ask this question, first glanced at him, then pondered for a moment, and said, "Why, do you also want to ask for battle like those simple-minded guys?"
Of course, Shen Shi immediately shook his head and said, "No, I just don't understand what we're waiting for here?"
The old white monkey snorted and said, "What is the way we fight between the clans of the demon realm now, have you seen it all these days?"
Without waiting for Shen Shi to answer, the old white monkey himself sneered first, and then continued with self-questioning, and said: "Nowadays, our demon clan wars are better to say, most of them win by strength, and rarely use any tricks and tricks, everyone fights with real swords and real guns, but if it is ugly, it is two large groups of simple-minded and empty fools with brute strength rushing to a certain battlefield, and then shouting and shouting and waving their blades to rush up, and kill and kill indiscriminately to divide the victory and defeat, right?"
Shen Shi opened his mouth slightly, and looked at the old white monkey in amazement for a while, but he didn't expect this old guy to say so harshly, although in his heart, he actually agreed a little.
The old white monkey sighed and said: "On the day when the Heavenly Demon King Court was strong, the demon army swept across the world, and the combat power was needless to say, it was the famous general of the Heavenly Demon at that time, and he was also a peerless general with great wisdom and strategy, how could it be...... Look at these demon soldiers and demon generals now, since they were trapped in the demon world, after ten thousand years, instead of working hard, they have already degenerated, looking at these demon soldiers now, how can there be a shadow of the invincible and powerful demon army of Hongmeng in the hands of the eight demon kings under the throne of the Heavenly Demon King in the past!"
"It's just a bunch of walking garbage!" Finally, the old white monkey gritted his teeth and concluded.
Shen Shigan laughed and didn't speak, but he was very disapprehensive in his heart, but anyway, he was not a demon clan, the strength of the demon clan was declining, and it was a great thing for the human race to which he belonged, if he couldn't be presumptuous in front of the old white monkey, he wanted to laugh out loud.
At that moment, Shen Shi forcibly held back his smile, coughed twice, and thought for a while: "Uh...... What do you mean by all that, old monkey?"
The old white monkey looked at Shen Shi with deep meaning, and said, "Didn't you see that I have been sending people up the mountain to persuade the civet clan to surrender in the past few days?"
Shen Shi was stunned and said: "I know, but isn't it useless, I was driven down the mountain two days ago, and I was sent there today?"
The old white monkey sneered, and said: "Boy, you learn a little, how many books I have read, I have already understood, the ancient famous generals are the best soldiers, and they are victorious without a fight." Now my army is pressing, although there is only one force of the green snake, but the vein of the spirit cat is already crushing, and then I carefully analyze the situation, and calculate the back road for their family, today again this all the comprehensive plan to persuade people to go up the mountain to persuade to surrender, not a small moment and a half, there must be good news coming, I should be able to collect another help for Niangniang, instead of like those other fools, as soon as they come up, rush over and kill all the enemies, what is the use? Stupid, stupid, stupid!"
The old white monkey looked at the sky with his hands in his hands, his spirit was flying, as if he was suddenly dozens of years younger, and he ended his words with the word "stupid" in three consecutive words, Shen Shi was a little overwhelmed by his momentum for a while, and nodded subconsciously.
While the two were talking, suddenly there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the grove, and at the same time, someone shouted in a hurried tone outside: "Lord White Monkey, Lord White Monkey......"
The old white monkey laughed and said to Shen Shi: "It's a herald, this is coming, it can be seen that I didn't expect it badly." ”
With a smug look as he spoke, he walked out of the forest with Shen Shi, only to see a little demon soldier standing there, and when he saw the old white monkey coming out, he quickly knelt down, looking hurried, and said angrily: "Lord White Monkey, the messenger who went up the mountain to persuade him to surrender ......"
The old white monkey laughed and said, "Is he back, where is he now?"
The little demon was stunned for a moment and said, "...... He's dead. ”
The old white monkey was stunned for a moment and said, "What?"
The little demon opened a cloth bag beside him, and a head rolled out of it, it was the messenger sent out here in the morning, and the blood flowed red the mouth of the surrounding bag, and then the little demon seemed to hesitate for a moment, and stopped talking.
The old white monkey obviously didn't expect such a situation, and didn't come back to his senses for a while, but Shen Shi calmed down, saw the little demon's expression, and hurriedly asked, "What else, you say it quickly?"
The little demon secretly glanced at the old white monkey and said, "This head was thrown from the mountain by the civet tribe, and at the same time, the people over there also loudly called someone to pass the word, saying that it was ......."
Speaking of this, the little demon suddenly expected Ai Ai to be reluctant to say anything, and the old white monkey reacted at this time, his old face turned red, and he was even more furious at this time, and shouted: "Tell me quickly, what did those bold fools say?"
The little demon's neck shrank, and then finally said it out loud, "They scolded on the mountain: If you want to fight, you will fight, and your mother will be surrendered!"
There was silence in the woods for a moment, Shen Shi almost laughed out loud after the initial shock, and quickly turned his head away, and suddenly he couldn't bear to look at the old white monkey's already blue face.
