Chapter 373: Inviting the Ancestor (2)
Sihu and seven or eight other beast spirits advocated taking the Nether Abyss Cauldron as a property of the Beast Mountain, saying that the people of Chisha would definitely pass by the Beast Mountain after they had taken the Divine Cauldron, and if they didn't take it, they would be in trouble. Those people never did good things, so they couldn't be allowed to take it back to the Chisha Kingdom, or they might bring disaster to the world. The people of the city always looked down on the beast spirits, so they couldn't help them take the cauldron. We in the Beast Mountain naturally had to take it and use it for ourselves, which would not only make the Beast Mountain more prosperous, but also shock the people of the city outside!
The woman in yellow was named Huang Niao. She and two or three other beast spirits advocated returning the Dark Abyss Cauldron to its original position of death, saying that there must be a reason why the Dark Abyss Cauldron was placed at the Death Point, and that its position should not be changed at will, even if it was placed in the Beast Mountain. The cauldron should be returned to its original position to avoid causing greater disasters to the world.
Some people suggested that we ignore it, saying that everyone has forgotten the disaster that happened more than 200 years ago. At that time, countless mountains were burned and countless beast spirits died for the Red Snake Sword. The current peaceful situation has only been going on for a few years. We should live peacefully in the Beast Mountain. Why should we fight for some artifact?
The beast spirits that advocated robbing the Nether Abyss Cauldron were the most numerous, especially the leopard lunatic and the monkey-faced old woman, who were the most aggressive.
The golden bear looked at the elephant-like tiger, then at the king of beasts, and then at the yellow bird in confusion, not knowing what everyone was arguing about.
The beast spirits were discussing the matter, but no one could agree.
The King of All Beasts sat in the large Beast King Throne and did not speak. Instead, he listened quietly to the quarrels among the spirits.
As they were arguing, the beast spirits mentioned that they should invite the ancestor of the beast spirits to come up.
A pointed-eared beast spirit with a head of shiny hair said, "In my opinion, we should invite the Queen Mother back and invite the ancestor with her. Only then can we make a final decision on this matter and deal with many spirit kings such as Demon Eye Bloodhoof, Storm, and the Dragon Snake Island Master. This matter not only concerns our East Beast Mountain, but also the West Beast Mountain."
Sihu said: "It is not easy to invite the Queen Mother back. When we sent her across the Kun River, we all saw and heard her swearing in front of the two masters, saying that she would never step foot on the Chuike Road again in her life, and would never climb the Bujian Peak again, unless... unless... forget it, let's not talk about it. Who can do such a thing? It's just... Alas..." He shook his head as he spoke.
The King of Beasts looked quite embarrassed, but he did not rebuke the tiger for his incessant talk.
The yellow bird said, "You also know that it is difficult to invite the Queen Mother back. But wasn't this incident caused by the fact that you killed the spirit of the Red Sand Country? The people of the Red Sand Country kept coming to my king and the Queen Mother to make things difficult for them, asking them to give an explanation. The Queen Mother was so angry that she wanted to capture you and use you as a sacrifice for the spirit of the Red Sand Country, but my king didn't allow it... The two of them quarreled more and more fiercely, and in the end the Queen Mother ran away and said that she would never cross Chuike Road again... Are you satisfied now, Sihu?"
Except for the King of All Beasts and the Yellow Bird, the other spirits were not aware of this matter. The King of All Beasts had not said anything, firstly because he loved the beast spirits and wanted to avoid creating rifts with them, and secondly because this was indeed not a glorious thing for him.
The yellow bird was quick-witted and just as it had an argument with the tiger, it blurted out everything at once.
The beast spirits finally understood the whole story. It turned out that Sihu had killed the spirit of Chisha Country for some reason, which led to the serious consequence of Queen Mother's departure. They all looked at Sihu to listen to his explanation.
The little monkey pointed at the tiger and shouted and jumped, doing all kinds of humiliating or teasing actions, looking very happy. The monkey-faced old woman looked at her beloved little treasure with a loving face.
The King of Beasts was extremely embarrassed and wished he could find a cave to hide in.
The tiger was baring its teeth in anger, and the whiskers on both sides of its mouth could not stop trembling. He glanced and saw Chu Xiaomu peeking at the temple door. His anger suddenly jumped to the top of his head. He jumped up from the stone chair, turned into a tiger in the blink of an eye, and pounced towards Chu Xiaomu.
Chu Xiaomu cried out "Ouch!" and ran away, shouting as he ran: "Xiang Li, help me stop him!"
However, Xiangli was not as fast as Sihu, and it was not easy for him to help Chu Xiaomu directly in front of the other beast spirits, otherwise he would not be able to explain clearly when the other beast spirits asked him. He could only stare at the top of the stone temple and pretend that he didn't hear anything.
The tiger caught up with Chu Xiaomu in the blink of an eye, threw him to the ground, bit his shoulder, half-dragged him to the stone statue, and threw him down.
He didn't bite hard, but his sharp teeth still pierced Chu Xiaomu's skin, and a lot of blood dripped out. Chu Xiaomu didn't say a word, and didn't cry out in pain or beg for mercy.
The little monkey was inexplicably excited. He straightened his hips and started to urinate towards Chu Xiaomu in the field. Fortunately, the urine did not go far and did not get on Chu Xiaomu.
Chu Xiaomu brushed off the dirt and dust on his body and stood up steadily. Qisheng also trotted over and stood side by side with him.
Sihu sat back in his chair, pointed at Chu Xiaomu and said viciously: "That corpse vulture from the Red Sand Country was led to our Beast Mountain by this thief from Bicheng in the Spirit Realm!"
The beast spirits were suddenly in an uproar; some cried strangely, some cursed fiercely, and some asked questions harshly.
Chu Xiaomu stood there without any fear, and ignored the cursing and questioning of the beast spirits. When the cursing died down, he told them all about how Bai Yixing and Qin Gang from the Snow Country stole the tripod, how he went out to sea to chase them and fled to Bicheng and became a soldier, how they lost Humu Pass for the first time, how they won a great victory at Huaduqiu in Bicheng, and how Yan Zhua led the three clans of the Ya tribe through the ancient black miasma road and killed all the villagers in Dongxi Village, and how they went to Bicheng to fight with General Bi Ye.
Originally, he was not very fluent in speech and was even a little clumsy, but at this critical moment of life and death, he could speak fluently and eloquently, which was the first time in his life.
Finally, he said, "I didn't lead the evil spirits from the Red Sand Country to the Beast Mountain. They had already appeared in the Beast Mountain, but you just thought you didn't know. Otherwise, how did they get to the Green City?"
The beast spirits listened to him telling his story bit by bit, and they could not imagine that this insignificant boy in front of them had experienced so many incredible things. They had only heard about the events of Green City and Red Sand Country until then. His last sentence especially awakened the confused beast spirits, and they all kept silent.
Chu Xiaomu said to the King of Beasts: "The general once said, 'We are real men. We kill enemies and make contributions to protect the country and the people. What difference does it make whether they are the people of Bicheng, Jinyangcheng, or Anfengcheng? In times of war, they are the most pitiful...' He also said, 'With the character and virtue of the King of Beasts, he will definitely not do anything that will harm the Cangmu Kingdom'..."
