Chapter 808 Four Elders
"There is no need to be too polite, congratulations on passing this test." The ancestor of the white ape said.
"The first assessment?" Shi Mu stood up straight, with a hint of surprise on his face.
"You can defeat yourself and integrate the true meaning of martial arts in one furnace. Although you are only a human race, you are indeed a martial arts genius. I did not choose the wrong person." The ancestor of the white ape said approvingly.
"Thank you for your praise, Patriarch." Shi Mu secretly rejoiced.
"Since you can pass the test, this "Da Fan Pan Wu Zhen Jing" will be your reward." Patriarch Bai Yuan waved his hand, and the golden box on the stone platform suddenly opened, and a simple book flew out from inside , fell in front of Shi Mu.
Shi Mu quickly grabbed it, and the golden box closed again with a "snap".
With a flash in his eyes, although the golden box was only opened for a moment, he still saw that there were several other things inside, shining brightly.
"Don't look at it, there are indeed some other things inside, but the timing is not right now, and when the timing comes, there are other tests waiting for you." The ancestor of the white ape said.
"I don't know what this so-called timing is?" Shi Mu asked a little puzzled.
"Although you have my inheritance, after all, you have not yet awakened the blood of the heavenly beast, and the blood in your body is impure." The ancestor of the white ape said.
Hearing this, Shi Mu nodded thoughtfully.
"You don't have a suitable cultivation method now, which has caused your cultivation to stagnate. This "Dafan Panwuzheng" is the cultivation method I majored in back then. It is very suitable for you. Study hard and improve your cultivation as soon as possible. There is a chance of fighting against the Heavenly Court," said the ancestor of the white ape.
Shi Mu showed surprise on his face: "How do you know so many things about me?"
"I have my own way." Patriarch Bai Yuan smiled faintly.
Shi Mu's thoughts twitched, thinking of the strangeness of the Heaven-shaking Cudgel and the Nine Dragons Locking Armor just now, could it be...
"Your Nine-Turn Mysterious Kungfu has been cultivated well, and you have reached the sixth level, but if you continue to practice in the future, you must keep in mind the word 'balance'." Bai Yuan said.
"Balance..." Shi Mu was startled when he heard this.
"Okay, you've been here for a long time, you'd better go out quickly. After you cultivate the bloodline of the beast, you can come here again and accept the second test. Then there will be other rewards for you." Shi Mu said something else, the ancestor of the white ape said, and waved his hand.
Shi Mu felt a blur in front of his eyes, and flew up involuntarily.
...
At the same time, in the underground stone room, the three elders were still standing here.
It had been more than an hour since Shi Mu entered the stele, the Great Elder and the old God Baizang were there, waiting quietly, but Bai Pi's face was obviously anxious, and he walked back and forth a little restlessly.
At this moment, the black stele that had calmed down suddenly burst into light, and the black vortex spun violently.
Seeing this, the three people present cast their gazes there one after another, with different expressions.
"Whoosh"!
A figure flashed out of it and landed on the ground, the light faded away, revealing Shi Mu's figure.
The three Great Elders saw Shi Mu appearing, and hurried over.
"Fellow Daoist Shi Mu, you can use the Iron Ape Token. You are undoubtedly the descendant of the patriarch. Just now, I offended you a lot. Please don't blame me." The Great Elder looked Shi Mu up and down, and said first.
"It's okay, you guys are concerned about the safety of the whole family, so you should be careful, so don't take it to heart." Shi Mu said.
"Great Elder, since it has been proved that Fellow Daoist Shi Mu is the successor of the patriarch, according to the agreement, we will make Shi Mu the patriarch." Bai Zang walked to Shi Mu, looked at the other two, and said.
When the Great Elder heard the words, there was a hint of hesitation on his face.
"Second Elder, let's wait for this matter first, there is something that needs to be confirmed." Bai Pi said.
"Fellow Daoist Shi Mu, you have already entered the secret place of the stele, what can you gain from it? Did you bring back the patriarch's token?" Bai Pi looked at Shi Mu with burning eyes and asked.
Shi Mu was taken aback, the patriarch's token?
"That's right. Before Patriarch Baigong rebelled against the Heavenly Court, just in case, he put the patriarch's token in the secret place of the stone tablet here. Fellow Daoist Shi Mu has obtained the inheritance of the patriarch and the order of the iron ape to enter the secret realm. You should find something Right?" The elder said with a flash in his eyes.
Shi Mu pondered for a moment, then roughly explained the situation inside to the three of them.
Hearing that the remnant soul of the ancestor of the white ape was in the secret realm, his face showed excitement.
"It's a pity that my strength is not good, and I only passed the first test. The ancestor of the white ape only rewarded me with a set of exercises, and did not give me the patriarch's token. It should still be in it." Shi Mu said.
"Since your Excellency did not bring back the patriarch's token, you have not really received the patriarch's approval. Let's slowly discuss the position of the patriarch. This matter is of great importance, and a capable person must be selected." Bai Pi said with a relaxed look .
"When we made the agreement back then, we didn't say that we had to get the patriarch's token to be the patriarch. Three elders, you obstructed so much, it was nothing more than coveting the position of patriarch, but how much do you usually do? Are people convinced by you?" Bai Zang sneered with a look of anxiety on his face.
"You..." Bai Pi suddenly changed color and took a step forward.
"Presumptuous! How decent is it to look like this in front of Fellow Daoist Shi Mu!" The Great Elder's face darkened, and he slammed the ground with a cane in his hand, causing the entire stone room to shake violently and roar.
The expressions of Bai Zang and the two changed slightly, their hearts were shaken, and they retreated.
"Fellow Daoist Shi Mu laughed." The Great Elder turned to look at Shi Mu and said.
Shi Mu smiled lightly, but did not speak.
"Second Elder, Third Elder's words also have some truth. Although Fellow Daoist Shi Mu is the heir of the patriarch, but he failed to get back the token of the patriarch. Even if we regard him as the master, some people in the clan may not accept it." The first elder pondered for a while, Said.
Baizang's expression changed, he stamped his feet, and walked aside.
"Fellow Daoist Shi Mu, although you are not from the giant ape clan, after all, you are the descendant of the patriarch. If nothing happens, you might as well stay with us and serve as the fourth elder of our clan for the time being, so you can get acquainted with the situation of the clan. After getting the token of the patriarch, we will support fellow daoist as the patriarch, how about that?" The Great Elder looked at Shi Mu and asked.
Shi Mu was silent for a while, nodded and said, "Alright."
The position of patriarch is not rare for him at all, but this place is full of spiritual energy, it is a good place for cultivation, and he just took the opportunity to comprehend the "Da Fan Pan Wu Zhen Jing".
Bai Pi frowned, but said nothing.
"That's great, I'll ask someone to arrange a place for you." The Great Elder's face showed a gleam of joy.
The four of them didn't stay here any longer and left the stone room very quickly.
...
In a quarter of an hour.
Near an emerald green mountain peak, three rays of light flew from a distance, and in a flash, three figures appeared, which were Shi Mu and two members of the giant ape clan.
Cai'er had already flown back to Shi Mu's shoulder again, her cheeks were puffed up, she seemed a little displeased.
Pointing to a green mountain not far away, the two clansmen cupped their hands and said to Shi Mu: "Fourth Elder, the residence arranged for you is on the Four Camels, and we will take you there."
Shi Mu nodded, and said, "Thank you, both of you."
"Please come with us."
The two giant apes waved their hands to call out a large square flying boat, boarded it together, and flew into the air.
Shi Mu also immediately took out the Dragon Feather Speeding Car and followed.
"Shitou, that red-haired monkey was too rude to you just now. After all, we are the orthodox descendants of the ancestor of the white ape, so it's so unreasonable. I'm really mad." Cai'er muttered.
"It's okay, the Second Elder recognized me." Shi Mu said.
"The golden-haired monkey is quite pleasing to the eye, and the old monkey with long eyebrows is not bad. I gave you the position of Fourth Elder, so you should be able to get a lot of Lingshi treasures?" It started to shine.
"You rascal, you've been thinking about these things all day long. The title of the Fourth Elder they gave me is just a false title and has no real power. Naturally, it won't receive much attention, so don't think too much about it. "Shi Mu said with a smile.
"Ah..." Cai'er was immediately discouraged when she heard this, and sat down on Shi Mu's shoulder.
After flying for a while, Shi Mu followed the two giant apes in front and landed towards the side of the mountain with four humps.
After falling into a verdant forest on the mountainside, Shi Mu and his party walked along the wide mountain road paved with bluestones towards the depths of the forest for a while, and after passing through a phoenix pine forest, they came to his cave. .
It was an independent red building with a height of tens of feet, and it was close to the front of the mountain.
Shi Mu walked to the front of the building, pushed open the door of the palace, and looked inside.
I saw that the inside was empty and there were not many furnishings. There was a side room on the left and right sides, and a hall door on the back side.
"Thank you for your hard work. If there is nothing else, you two can go back." Shi Mu turned around and said to the two great apes.
The two listened, but they didn't intend to leave at all. Among them, the yellow-haired giant ape said: "We are ordered by the Great Elder to serve the Fourth Elder. We should stand by and wait for the Fourth Elder's orders at any time."
Shi Mu listened, pondered for a moment, and said, "That's fine, I just came here, and I'm not very familiar with the situation here. By the way, I don't know what to call you two?"
Those two people were quite surprised when they heard this, obviously they didn't expect Shi Mu to say that.
Among them, the giant ape with yellowish hair said: "Report to the Fourth Elder, Bai Yao."
"Under the white wind." Another green ape also replied.
"Bai Yao, Bai Feng, from now on there will be Lao Lao." Shi Mu said with a smile.
"Don't dare to take it." The two giant apes replied immediately.
Shi Mu led Cai'er into the main hall, but the two giant ape clan members did not follow in, but closed the hall door with their backhands and stood outside.
After walking around the hall, Shi Mu found that there was nothing wrong with it except that it was too spacious, so that it seemed a bit empty.
The side hall on the left is the reception room, and the bedroom on the right. The daily furniture displayed in it is all oversized, and a chair is already equivalent to Shi Mu's bed.
