The sun slowly rose from the distant horizon in the east, and its magnificent light sprinkled on every inch of the demon realm, encompassing the vast Black Hell Mountain Range in it. Fengming City is also bathed in sunlight, and traces of war can still be seen on the towering city walls, but in this rising sunshine, there seems to be a feeling that a new vitality is gradually growing.

At least that's what most of the Green Snake Demon Clan thinks.

Because it's still morning, the sun is not too hot, and there is still a bit of a mild feeling shining on the body in the early morning breeze. However, for the demon clan, at this time, except for those soldiers and generals who were on duty at night, most of them were still asleep, so most of the places in Fengming City were still in a very quiet state.

This is the fifth day after the Green Snake Demon Clan captured Fengming City, the sun is shining and the weather is clear, sweeping away the haze of the previous days, it seems to be a good day that heralds the renewal of all things.

The old white monkey was old, so he didn't get as sleepy as most demon clans, and in this early morning light, he carried a large cloth bag and walked to the stone chamber on the mountain wall at the back of the Black Wind Mansion.

There was no one all the way, and those green snake guards on weekdays seemed to be a little lazy after the initial few days of nervousness, seeing that the overall situation had been decided. The old white monkey looked at the empty courtyard around him with a little indifference, and after a slight pause in his footsteps, he shook his head slightly, and walked into the secret room passage alone.

It didn't take long for him to see a familiar and soft golden light light in front of him, which was the strange light unique to the golden fetal stone, accompanied by the faint and quiet sound of flipping books.

The old white monkey stood in the passageway, paused, and did not walk in immediately, but kept quiet and glanced into the secret room first. I saw that under the four golden stones, those books and books scattered on the ground were piled up like a small mountain, and on the ground near the foot of the book mountain, there were many single books and scrolls scattered together, and the number was also quite large, and most of them had traces of turning over.

Shen Shi Zheng'an sat on the side of this "mountain of books", holding another book in his hand, reading quietly. The golden light emitted by the golden fetal stone floated gently around him, like a gentle arm gently surrounding his body, and even this "ghost witch" in a black robe didn't seem to have those gloomy aura.

The old white monkey looked at it for a while, and a loving smile slowly appeared on his face that he had never seen before, but after a while, he still smiled slightly, put away this emotion, and walked into the secret room on crutches.

The sound of footsteps and the sound of crutches hitting the ground suddenly woke up Shen Shi, who was reading a book, but he didn't have to look back, he could hear the person from the sound that he was already familiar with, and he didn't look back at the moment, only smiled and said, "The old monkey is here, why did you get up so early today?"

The old white monkey walked up to him with the big bag and said with a smile: "I'm old, I can't sleep, and I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll just come to you." ”

As he spoke, he turned the big cloth bag in his hand upside down and poured it on the ground, and suddenly there was a flurry, and a rain of books fell, not to mention hundreds of books fell out of the bag, and he saw that the small book mountain was piled up a lot.

Then the old white monkey threw away the big cloth bag in his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, these are the last books in that small building, plus the books I moved a few days ago, the two-story collection in that small building, I almost moved them for you." ”

Shen Shi looked at this mountain of books and the vast number of books, and felt a little emotional for a while, and said with a wry smile: "I couldn't find a book to read before, but this time I ...... There are so many books, how can I read them in two or three days? ”

The old white monkey came over and sat down beside him, and said with a smile: "It's okay, or after these three days, you still help me again, continue to guard, and just so can you read books here at will, so you don't kill two birds with one stone." ”

Shen Shi glared at the old man, the old white monkey smiled, he didn't seem embarrassed at all, Shen Shi couldn't do anything about him, but in his heart he really felt that this was a rare quiet place to cultivate, plus there were so many books and classics to watch in addition to cultivation, it was indeed a little difficult to give up, and after hesitating for a moment, he had to say angrily: "I've been locked up here for too long, I have to go out for a walk later, and breathe." ”

The old white monkey hurriedly said: "This is all a trivial matter, I can accompany you out for a walk later." ”

Shen Shi sneered, too lazy to pay attention to this cunning old monkey, his eyes returned to the book mountain in front of him to take a look, shook his head and sighed: "There are books that can only be put down on two floors here, there are too many, if only there was a way to carry these books with me, it would be good to read them anytime and anywhere, and I don't have to be locked up here." ”

The old white monkey smiled and said, "Don't think about this kind of good thing." Speaking of this, his voice suddenly paused, as if he remembered something, and after thinking for a moment, he smiled, "But what you just said, I seem to have heard of it before." ”

Shen Shi sighed, and was very curious for a while, and said, "What have you heard, could it be that there are really people who can carry these seven or eight hundred books with them?" Then he seemed to have woken up, and laughed, "I know, do you want to talk about those high-level demon clans when the Heavenly Demon King Court was back then? That's nothing to compare, when people travel, they are surrounded by hundreds or thousands of battles, and it is nothing if people bring hundreds of books." ”

The old white monkey waved his hand and said with a smile: "It has nothing to do with those high-level demon clans, but I remember that I once read a book before, which said that in the last years of the Heavenly Demon King Court, the human race discovered the spirit crystal and rose, and then the human race used its best manufacturing skills to create a lot of various magic weapons with different uses." I heard that there was a strange thing inside, it looked like it was just a small thing, a bag or a bracelet or ring, but inside there was something else, enough to hold a large box or a room or even more and bigger things. ”

Shen Shi suddenly fell silent, and after a while, he said softly: "What, there is such a strange thing......

The old white monkey smiled bitterly, although there was a slight bitterness on his face, but he could still see that he should also yearn for this kind of thing in his heart: "Yes, when I saw these recorded words, my heart was almost the same as you are now, and they all thought: What, is there such a strange thing in the world!" After a pause, the old white monkey thought for a moment and said, "I remember what the book said, at that time, the human race called this strange thing' Qiankun bag', I think it means that a small pocket can contain Qiankun things. ”

Shen Shi subconsciously glanced at his palm, but it was already empty, and the two little Ruyi rings had been damaged a long time ago, but at this moment, his mood was really a little delicate, and after a moment of silence, he still sighed and said lightly: "I can't imagine that the human race can create such a strange thing, it's really amazing...... Ugh!"

Halfway through the praise, Shen Shi reacted that his identity was still a demon clan after all, and it seemed very inappropriate to praise the enemy of life and death like this, not to mention that there was still the old white monkey sitting next to him who insisted on the supremacy of the demon clan's bloodline, and quickly stopped his words, and at the same time turned his head to look at the old white monkey.

Who knew that the old white monkey didn't look very angry, just sat there, looking at his expression seemed to be a little stunned, and after a while, he came back to his senses, and saw Shen Shi looking at him, and after a moment of silence, he smiled bitterly and sighed: "These words, you must not talk nonsense when you go outside." ”

Shen Shi looked at him, but he was a little more curious, and said, "Old monkey, why aren't you angry?"

The old white monkey smiled, with a bitter expression on his face, and said: "I did have a time when I was depressed for this before, but after thinking about it later, I felt that this was clearly the power of the human race, they have always been the best at making these utensils, and sometimes, I really feel that the four words of ingenuity are really suitable for the human race." ”

Shen Shi was silent for a moment and said, "I remember you told me before that the human race is good at making all kinds of magic weapons, and they are also good at using these magic weapons?"

The old white monkey nodded and said, "Yes, this Qiankun bag is only one of the various magic weapons created by the human race, and there are many other strange magic weapons such as attack, defense, calling for wind and rain, flying away from the sky, etc., and there are countless at all." It can be said that the reason why the human race was able to destroy our Heavenly Demon King Court back then was not only because of their own strength, but also because of the magic weapons they created, which was also a great help for them. ”

Shen Shi didn't speak, and the old white monkey closed his mouth for some reason, and the atmosphere in the secret room gradually fell a little silent. Shen Shi glanced at the old white monkey, in the past three years, the old white monkey and the old white monkey are the only friends he can talk about and make friends in the demon world, he is also very familiar with this old monkey demon, knowing that although the old white monkey looks at the smile on weekdays, he doesn't care about anything, and can see everything, but only when it comes to the history of the destruction of the Heavenly Demon King Court by the human race in the past, even if it is just talking about some corners, it can arouse the pain of the past in his heart, and his mood will often be low.

This old monkey, in today's fierce and brave demon world that is keen on civil war, should be one of the few outliers who still remember the glory of the demon clan in the past!

Shen Shi raised his eyes to look at the old white monkey, who was sitting there expressionlessly, and after a while, he picked up the wine gourd hanging on his waist, poured a large sip of wine into his mouth, and then closed his eyes.

※※※

Later in the day, the old white monkey seldom spoke, but sat there quietly drinking, sometimes picking up a book from the ground and flipping through it for a while, but more often he seemed to be thinking about something on his mind.

Shen Shi didn't bother him much, and read quietly by himself. At that time, the light passed slowly and inadvertently, and this day was finally going to pass quietly.

The old white monkey, who had also been sitting in this secret room for a day, looked a little red on his cheeks because he had drunk a lot of wine, and seemed to be a little drunk, but he still stood firm on crutches, said hello to Shen Shi, and walked outside.

Shen Shimu sent him away, for some reason, there always seemed to be some strange feelings in his heart, as if he felt the helpless and sad feeling in the heart of this old white monkey, and it seemed that he felt that something was about to happen, and he felt some inexplicable irritability in the depths of his heart.

The scrolls in his hand were a little unreadable, he threw them on the ground casually, but then saw the messy scrolls all over the ground, frowned a little for a while, thought for a while, and leaned over to pick up the scrolls scattered on the ground one by one.

At this moment, the old white monkey, who had already reached the entrance of the secret passage, suddenly stopped his steps, and then said to Shen Shi in a voice that became a little hoarse at some point: "Shi, you have to look at these scrolls more and live well." ”

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, stood up, looked at the old white monkey who was a little strange today, and saw that on the face of the old monkey demon, a trace of weakness and deep pain slowly emerged, with a trace of drunkenness, as if there was still a bit of helplessness that he had not seen on weekdays, and waved his hand to him from afar, and said: "Stone, live well, if the future of our demon clan depends on those fools who only know how to kill and loot in the fight, it will only be a dead end." ”

Shen Shi subconsciously said "oh", but he didn't know how to answer his words again, but looking at the appearance of the old white monkey, he didn't want to hear Shen Shi's answer, and after saying these strange words, he muttered a few words that no one could understand, and slowly walked out, and the figure disappeared into the secret passage.

Shen Shi stood in place, a little dazed for a while, holding a stack of scrolls in his hand, stunned for a long time, but suddenly threw it to the ground again, and then with a little hesitation, he slowly reached into his arms, but he found a black scroll again.

In the gentle golden glow of the golden fetal stone, Shen Shi stared at the incantation handwriting on it, and a complicated expression seemed to flash on his face.
