Chapter 172: The Great Wizard's Funeral
Lu Shiye sighed: "Then I'll be the lord for a while, preside over the funeral for the great wizard, gather all the people, let's send the great wizard on his last journey, and then give everyone a day to pack up their things, and I'll take everyone out of here." ”
Lu Shiye said very sincerely, and his face still had reluctance and regret for the deceased big house.
Some looked at the body of the Great Wizard and shed tears, while others frowned and sighed.
There are some people in the middle who are relieved, after all, not all people love the great wizard from the bottom of their hearts, and some people have their own reasons for staying here.
Although Lu Shiye is not a wizard, his identity is definitely qualified to preside over the funeral ceremony for the great wizard, so everyone began to prepare for the funeral for the great wizard.
In the future, everyone will still count on Lu Shiye to make arrangements, of course, no one will disobey Lu Shiye's intentions.
So the crowd slowly dispersed to prepare for the funeral ceremony for the Great Wizard.
At this point, Zhao Hong was relieved, just now he knew that the people here would not let him bite the Great Wizard and would inevitably stop it, and he didn't think about eating the Great Wizard, it was just for show, just to cover up the wounds left by the Great Wizard when he was killed by himself.
Now that everything is settled, all that remains is to find a chance to leave.
There are only two people left here, Lu Shiye and Zhao Hong.
Lu Shiye looked Zhao Hong up and down, but Zhao Hong didn't say a word, and there was no expression on his face, looking very indifferent.
Zhao Hong knew from listening to their conversation that the intelligence of the resurrected corpse demon with special consciousness was very low, so Zhao Hong didn't need to think of any way to deal with it skillfully, as long as Lu Shiye asked him to do anything.
This kind of camouflage is not too difficult.
According to Zhao Hong's understanding, ordinary corpse demons borrow corpses to return their souls, and he belongs to rebirth.
There is a world of difference between the difficulty of the original master and the original master of the body.
It is not difficult for ordinary corpse demons to come back to life, what is lacking is actually sufficient vitality.
And his situation is difficult, even if the original owner of the body is unconscious, or even in a state of dying, he is also the master of the body, and if he wants to forcibly take away, it is tantamount to snatching food from the mouth of a tiger, and there is bound to be an extremely tragic battle.
Those who fail are the ones who can't compete for the original body master.
And those who are stupid and stunned are those who win the battle for the body, but they are injured and broken.
Lu Shiye looked Zhao Hong up and down, obviously very satisfied, showed a smile, and was about to speak.
Zhao Hong turned around, sat on the ground, and began to be in a daze.
"Uh....... Lu Shiye was speechless for a while, and then said, "You turn your head." ”
Zhao Hong's body sat differently, turned his head, and squinted at Lu Shiye.
Lu Shiye: "......." ”
"I mean, you stand up and face me. ”
"Hmm. Zhao Hong hummed and did so.
"Yes, I'll give you a name, and from today onwards, your name will be ...... Well....... ”
Lu Shiye thought about it for a while, and thought that the original owner of the body was named Hong, so he had an idea.
"From now on, your name will be Eagle. ”
"Okay. Zhao Hong agreed, and left again, and went out directly, ignoring Lu Shiye at all.
"Don't go around yet, follow me, and there's something for you to do later. ”
Zhao Hong didn't say anything, just followed Lu Shiye.
Although Zhao Hong did not show any respect for Lu Shiye from beginning to end, Lu Shiye looked at Zhao Hong very pleasantly.
Because in the eyes of Lu Shiye, Zhao Hong will be 100% loyal to him in the future and a peerless general who can charge for him.
Zhao Hong stood beside Lu Shiye, looking around, looking absent-minded.
Lu Shiye looked at Zhao Hong and smiled again.
Soon, the funeral of the Great Wizard was ready, and it was already evening, and the funeral of the Great Wizard was held in an open space in this cottage.
All the people in the cottage have gathered here, the Great Wizard is dead, the people here will soon leave this place and will not come back, this place will be abandoned, so when preparing for the funeral of the Great Wizard, many people are already packing their bags and preparing to take everything that can be taken with them.
Lu Shiye looked around and saw that the people he knew were all here. And besides, there are many people he doesn't know. This included a lot of slaves, and some people who didn't even have clothes.
There were many stakes driven into the earth around the clearing, and these people were chained to their necks, and the other end of the chain was fixed to the stakes, and they could only stand against the stakes, and they could not go anywhere.
"The Great Wizard's funeral begins!"
The Great Wizard was placed on a pyre, and the final step of the funeral was to light the pyre, cremate the Grand Wizard, and then scatter his ashes to the earth.
Before that, however, there were rituals in which people mourned and then offered sacrifices and invoked Mother Earth for blessings. Finally, light the fire to cremate the body, and then wait until the flame is extinguished, everyone gets the ashes of the Great Wizard, and sets off from different directions, all the way, all the way, all the way to scatter the ashes of the Great Wizard all over the earth, so that the Great Wizard can return to the arms of Mother Earth.
The final process of scattering the ashes may last for several days and nights, or it may just be a walk around and make a look, depending on the situation.
After announcing the start of the funeral of the Great Wizard, everyone lowered their heads, faced the earth, and whispered their respect for the Great Wizard and their reluctance to give up on the Great Wizard's death.
A group of people were talking together, and they couldn't hear what everyone was saying, and there was a lot of chaos.
While these people were mourning in a low voice, the slaves behind them, and many of the people chained up began to struggle and shout desperately, and some of them were so frightened that they even peed their pants.
Others looked at all this with a numb face and a blank face, obviously already in the dust.
They behave this way because they are the sacrifices of the second step of the funeral!
As the funeral began, the people also began to stir up.
But the men ignored them, and when the mourning was over, some of them walked towards the surrounding sacrifices with knives in hand.
The men were quickly killed, and then their heads were cut off, and they took the bloody heads together, piled them up like a small mountain, and then everyone knelt down.
The second step in the funeral ceremony is to offer sacrifices and pray to Mother Earth for blessings in the hope that Mother Earth will bless the deceased Great Wizard.
