Chapter 809: Talking Together

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.

Behind the main hall is a courtyard, which is full of green mangosteens, and behind the mangosteens, there is a very spacious secret room with stone caves.

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

"Shitou, why do I think they treat you like a prisoner instead of the Fourth Elder? No matter how the two monkeys outside look, they seem to be here to spy on us!" Cai'er said a little displeased.

"The Mitian giant ape family has been hidden from the world for so many years. They just don't want to be found by the heavens and fall into danger. Now that I am here for the first time, to them, I am still an outsider after all. It is understandable for them to be more cautious. .” Shi Mu said.

"Shitou, I seem to have seen the miserable life in the future..." Cai'er said sadly.

Hearing this, Shi Mu couldn't help but smile dumbly.

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

"Huh, is the golden-haired monkey here?" Cai'er said in surprise.

"Please." Shi Mu replied with a flash of his eyes.

After saying that, he took Cai'er out of the secret room, opened the door and welcomed the Second Elder in.

As soon as he entered, Elder Baizang chuckled and asked, "Shi Mu, what's wrong with coming here?"

Shi Mu was slightly taken aback, but his heart felt a little hot.

Elder Baizang called him by his name directly, instead of calling him Fellow Daoist Shi or anything else, which seemed a bit more cordial. It can be seen that Elder Baizang really recognized him and did not treat him as an outsider.

"Thank you Elder Baizang for your concern, Shi Mu is not feeling any discomfort," Shi Mu said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Cai'er complained rather dissatisfied: "It would be much more comfortable if there were no two pillars outside to watch us!"

"Cai'er, don't be rude." Shi Mu shouted.

"Haha, your parrot pet is straightforward! However, Baiyao and Baifeng belong to the Great Elder. Although they don't belong to our faction, they are not from Bai Pi's side either. You don't have to go too far." I'm worried." Bai Zang laughed.

"Your faction? Elder Baizang, what does this mean? Could it be that there are factions in the giant ape clan?" Shi Mu asked suspiciously.

"To tell you the truth, there are indeed factions. The clan is of one mind with me, and wants to unite the Eight Desolation Ancient Clan and many forces that do not belong to the Heavenly Court, counterattack the Heavenly Court, and avenge Patriarch Baigong and those dead clan members. The members of the clan are called the Eagle faction. And Bai Pi's subordinates believe that at this time, my giant ape clan has not yet recovered its combat power, and it is not appropriate to confront the heavens head-on. I want to continue to hide from the world and recuperate. Revenge is dovish." Bai Zang said.

"Actually, what Elder Bai Pi said seems to have some truth." Shi Mu's eyes flickered slightly, and he said noncommittally.

"Hehe, what he said was just talking to himself and deceiving himself and others. If we want to recuperate and strengthen our strength, how can Heavenly Court give us time? In the past thousand years, why has Heavenly Court given up on tracking me? Besides, we have already rested After nearly a thousand years, how much strength has recovered? It is too far away from when the Patriarch Baigong was leading thousands of years ago." Bai Zang said.

Shi Mu heard the words, but did not speak.

"Not only that, because my family has not been born for a long time and does not communicate with the outside world, now the Miyang, Diyin, and even the Tianhe star field, the prestige of my Tianhe giant ape family has already plummeted. In the past hundred years, not many people care about it. "When Bai Zang said this, he had a rather desolate expression on his face.

Shi Mu frowned slightly, thought for a moment, raised his head and asked, "Who is stronger between the Hawk Faction and the Dove Faction?" Shi Mu asked.

Bai Zang listened, shook his head with a smile, and said, "The two factions are equally powerful. Among the eight cave masters, there are three cave masters who agree with me, and the other three agree with Bai Pi."

"Eight holes? What are eight holes?" Shi Mu asked a little puzzled.

"Fellow Daoist Shi came here not long ago, so it's normal not to know. In fact, in my giant ape clan, there are eight cave masters under the elders, leading the eight ape clans." Bai Zang simply explained.

"Oh, what about the other two Cave Masters? Which faction do they belong to?" Shi Mu asked.

"The two of them agree with the Great Elder, that is, they don't advocate an immediate counterattack, nor do they think that they should continue to hide from the world. They belong to the neutral faction. Although this faction seems to have only two holes, it has a clear advantage in the number of people. " Bai Zang replied.

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

"Well, the positions are different. In recent years, people who followed the Patriarch Bai Pi have died one after another, and these people are all hawks, so the strength of our faction has been weakening. Follow Bai Pi. Yes, most of them are the younger generations who grew up after this war. They don't have a deep understanding of the great changes experienced by the previous clan. They encountered turmoil when they were young, and then returned to stability. The shame and hatred brought by the Heavenly Court to the clansmen. As everyone knows, forgetting history is tantamount to betrayal." Bai Zang said with a somewhat sad expression.

"Perhaps because of accepting the inheritance of the ancestor of the white ape, I once dreamed back to the fierce battle that the ancestor of the white ape led all the apes. I witnessed the scene of many ape ancestors fighting bravely. I still remember that The fearless figure of the four ape warriors." Shi Mu thought of that scene back then, and said sincerely.

"Oh, what did you see? Tell me quickly." Bai Zang asked with surprise on his face when he heard the words.

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

In the next half an hour, Shi Mu carefully told Bai Zang the scene in the star sea he saw in his dream.

As a result, Bai Zangzhi had an excited expression on his face and clenched his fists.

After hearing this, Bai Zang sighed and said, "That guy Bai Pi did have some blood back then, but unfortunately he has almost forgotten about it now."

"I don't know what Elder Baizang meant by that?" Shi Mu asked in confusion.

"Back then, under the patriarch Bai Gong, there were five great generals in the divine realm. You saw four of them in your dream. The green ape at the head was Bai Pu, the elder. The black ape was named Bai Lu, and the white ape was named Bai Lu. They were named Bai Duo, and they were the Second Elder and Third Elder respectively at that time. And the red ape is Bai Pi." Bai Zang explained.

"So that's how it is." After hearing this, Shi Mu suddenly realized.

"Back then, I was the fourth elder of the clan. I was ordered by Patriarch Baigong to transfer the treasures of the clan and the descendants of the clan. I did not directly participate in the final decisive battle. Later, I only knew that the patriarch and Bailu Baiduo died in battle. As for the specific situation of the battle, Bai Pu and Bai Pi are unwilling to mention it, and I don't know the details." Bai Zang said with a somewhat sad expression.

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

"Fortunately, the gods favored you. Baigong has a spirit in the sky, and you have come to our great ape family. I think, with Baigong's successors, more and more people will join the Eagle Faction, and it will be just around the corner to counterattack the Heavenly Court and take revenge. Yes." Bai Zang said solemnly with a gleam of light in his eyes.

"What the Heavenly Court has done has already caused the anger of both humans and gods. It has long been Shi Mu's long-cherished wish to kill all immortals in the Heavenly Court." Shi Mu said loudly.

"Okay, let's go to heaven and kill all immortals." Baizang said excitedly with a happy face.

"Elder Baizang, Shi Mu doesn't know whether to ask or not?" Shi Mu said.

"But it doesn't matter." Bai Zang said.

"May I ask how many clan members there are?" Shi Mu asked.

Baizang pondered for a moment, and then said: "Although the bloodline of the heavenly beast is favored by the gods and is far stronger than ordinary bloodlines, it also has a disadvantage, that is, it is not easy to reproduce. After the war that year, our family suffered heavy losses, and only a few thousand people escaped here. People, recuperating for more than a thousand years, the number has only doubled, and now it is less than 30,000."

"How many of them are the hawks? How many of them are the doves?" Shi Mu asked again, his heart moved.

"The hawks and the doves are about the same number, with about 10,000 people each, and the others are almost all centrists." Bai Zang replied.

Speaking of this, Shi Mu suddenly thought of a question, and asked, "May I ask Elder Baizang, which faction does the clansman named Baishi I met earlier belong to?"

"Speaking of this person, he is quite special. He has always been withdrawn, rarely interacts with others, and has never expressed his position, so he does not belong to any of these three factions. Unexpectedly, he has long been a minion of the heavenly court." Bai Zang said angrily.

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

Speaking of Bai Hong, Bai Zang showed a gleam of joy on his face: "Bai Hong is an unborn genius among the younger generations. His talent has surpassed Bai Pi, and he is the well-deserved number one younger generation in the clan. In addition, he has He has cultivated the nine-turn Xuangong to the sixth-turn great achievement, before you came, he has been privately regarded as the successor of Baigong. Fortunately, he is also a member of my Eagle Sect."

Shi Mu nodded silently after listening.

"Shitou, no wonder that guy got into a fight with you as soon as he came up, what should I do?" Cai'er suddenly realized.

"Hahaha, Bai Hong's temper is not very good, but after confirming that you are Bai Gong's successor, he will 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 since recognized Shi Mu's identity as the heir of the white ape ancestor from the bottom of his heart, and he knows everything about Shi Mu, and he has nothing to say.

The two wanted to have a good talk, so Bai Zang didn't leave until evening, and before leaving, he still told Shi Mu that if he needed something, he could go to him at any time.

After sending Baizang away, Shi Mu did not go back to the secret room, but came to the bedroom, sat cross-legged on the bed, lost in thought.

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

"Shitou, what are you thinking, why are you ignoring me?" Cai'er complained.
