Volume 3 Baoling Prefecture Chapter 53 Eulogy and Migration Blueprint
On the way back, Quan Yuren specially called Lao Chen to the car and instructed him to go back first to select a few maids and send them to the Wei Mansion in the name of serving the young city lord's wife.
Then he returned the daily political affairs in the state to his son's full name, and reminded him to move around with the nobles more, stabilize the overall situation, and alleviate the doubts in their hearts, and when he finished solving the affairs of the merchant group and gaining Mu Chen's trust, he would naturally explain everything clearly.
The destroyed Qiming Village changed back to its previous dilapidated and deserted appearance, Mu Chen and several of them stopped and stared in front of the tomb, and after a long while, someone finally spoke: "Lord Mu Chen..."
"Huh?
"I'm ready to pray for this child, is there anything else you want to say?"
"Ah, here you go. Only then did Mu Chen relent, and took a step back slightly, making room for Lingxi Coco.
Several people stood two meters away from the grave, Mu Chen's face was solemn with his hands behind his back, Qi Luna was holding Mo Cheng with an expressionless face, and Chunyue covered her face with her hands and sobbed softly.
Coco looked at the coffin, silently recited the eulogy, and then flew up slightly and walked around the cemetery. The sun shone through her outstretched wings into the grave, and the coffin shone like a treasure buried deep in the ground, shining through the reflection of the gold coins.
"May my beam of light soothe your reluctant and sad thoughts, may my beam of light soothe your anger and resentment, and may my beam of light always accompany you, bringing you peace and crossing the hill of emotion. ”
"May my light dispel the darkness on your way, may my light guide you to find the hometown in your mind, may my light always accompany you, bring you hope, and always shine in the distance. ”
"May my light protect you from dampness and darkness in the wind and rain, may my light protect you from the biting frost in the ice and snow, and may my light always accompany you, bringing you courage and overcoming physical and mental wounds. ”
"May you never lose your courage in the midst of hardship, may you always be full of hope in the chaos, may you be calm on the other side of the beautiful shore, may you and I be well, and from now on we will be separated. ”
At the end of the blessing ceremony, the golden light disappeared as the wings were retracted. At the same time, Qiluna's body shook slightly, and the dark orange in her arms gradually disappeared. The intersection between her and Erniu only appeared briefly in their respective destinies, but they died at the same time, but after this intersection, the trajectories of their lives will never intersect again.
Chunyue lay in front of the grave and cried loudly, Mu Chen cleared her throat unnaturally, reached out to support her, and persuaded: "Erniu in another world will live more happily, don't cry." ”
All the rituals are completed, only the last step of filling the grave pit remains, Mu Chen picked up the shovel, leaned over to look at the coffin, and threw fourteen spirit stones into it, although he didn't like human funeral culture, but after seeing the customs of one hundred and twenty years, it still had some influence on him, and remembering the deceased naturally had to be sincere, but the gold and silver used in the funeral could not all cover the coffin and conclude that it was unnecessary waste and the capital that he showed off every day, even if it only bears the pressure of the world.
It was already afternoon after everything around the cemetery was finished, and after Chunyue wiped the tombstone clean, everyone was ready to leave, and the appearance of the black dragon frightened a few people who had been hiding around, and they panicked and fled in all directions while showing their figures, so they had to gather together and walk towards the cemetery.
"You... Didn't you go back?" asked Chunyue puzzled when she saw the ragged villagers.
"Your Excellency... We... There were too many powerful people just now, and we didn't have a chance to say goodbye to Erwa, so we kept hiding in the woods, wanting to talk to him when no one was around. The villager explained.
"Oh, then you go, after all, you are his closer, I..."
"The mourners are gone, and we have taken care of the cemetery, so you can just talk to yourself, and as for the rest... This scorched earth will be rebuilt as soon as possible, and nothing superfluous will be done so that you will not see your new home. ”
"Ahh Ah, Lord Mu Chen, don't worry, we just want to see this kid again, nothing else... Nothing else. The villager who answered explained in a trembling voice.
"Alright, you guys go, let's go. With that, everyone rode on the black dragon and flew into the sky.
Different from the time of coming, the successful end of the funeral allowed the emotions suppressed in the hearts of everyone to be vented, and the expression on the face was not as dignified as before, although the nostalgia is still there, but a ceremony, a eulogy, for the deceased, the memory of the past has been separated, and the instinctive cutting off of grief is also true, and people must learn to let go after all, without deliberate or self-blame.
Although Coco Rhinois had overcome her fear of the dragon, she was unable to ride on its back with a relaxed expression, and she carefully observed the black dragon's flying posture while pinching the corners of Qiluna's clothes with two fingers, occasionally showing a frightened expression.
"Coco, thank you for your eulogy, I didn't expect Erniu's last blessing to come from a spirit clan who had never met before, if it weren't for you, we really didn't know what to say. ”
"Lord Mu Chen, you're polite, it's nothing compared to what you and Lord Qiluna have done for our race. Seeing the look in the child's eyes, he must be a kind person, and praying for kindness will be rewarded. ”
"Then thank you, Erniu died because of our sisters, but in the end we can't do anything but cry, I hope that your light can bless him with happiness in another world. Chunyue took over and thanked Lingxi Coco again.
"Junzuki-sama, don't worry, kind people will definitely be happy. ”
"You don't need to call me an adult, just call me Chunyue, my full name is Jabek Chunyue, and I'm from the wasteland. The girl who had been in a coma yesterday was called Jabek Jiayue, my sister. ”
"My name is Lingxi Coco, I am from Spirit Tree City in the Forest of Giant Crocodiles, and I am the granddaughter of the Spirit Clan Elder. ”
After the two introduced themselves, Mu Chen briefly explained each other's past to each other.
"Keke, don't worry, with Mu Chen and Nana here, you will definitely move out of Spirit Tree City smoothly. ”
"Yes, Sister Chunyue, I also believe that the two ambassadors will take you sisters to travel to the human continent to see the beautiful scenery of the world and taste the delicious food of the world. ”
Mu Chen listened to the conversation between the two, and felt more and more that they were deliberately putting pressure on themselves, so he replied helplessly: "I already have a way, who will you two show in this singing and harmonizing performance." ”
"What can you do, tell us about it. Junyue asked curiously.
"The girl and I took a lot of wings from Spirit Tree City and came back, originally we just wanted to distribute them to the villagers so that they could rebuild Qiming Village, but just seeing the appearance of the villagers made me change my mind. ”
"Lord Mu Chen, there are a lot of our Spirit Clan, since we can let those suffering villagers rebuild their homes, then I'll get some for you when I go back, don't count..."
"It's not a matter of quantity, I want to arrange your entire clan to Qiming Village. ”
"Mu Chen, can Qiming Village fit so many people, besides, they are of different races, will they..."
"Lord Mu Chen, Sister Chunyue is right, can we coexist with humans, will they accept us?"
"Of course it's not that simple, there are thousands of people in your spirit race, Qiming Village will definitely not be able to live, you have to integrate into all the villages and towns around the ghoul tomb and mix with humans. ”
"Lord Mu Chen, we haven't been in contact with other races for a hundred years, the coexistence of light and humans is already a problem, if we still have to deal with demonic beasts, then we..."
"If you want to live in the human continent, you have to face alien races and demonic beasts, this is not something I can control, the objective world is like this, if you can't accept it, then why do you want to leave Spirit Tree City?" Mu Chen's tone was stern, and he lowered his head and said Lingxi Coco.
"Mu Chen, don't be so fierce, she hasn't experienced this, it's normal to be a little worried. Chunyue came forward to defend Lingxi Coco, and whispered a few words of comfort to her.
"Coco, don't worry, I won't throw your clan in front of the monsters, ghouls are lightphobic monsters, the light scattered by your wings can perfectly resist them, and you can fly, there are no flying monsters there, and they will not threaten your lives. ”
"What about humans, will the villagers accept them?" asked Junyue.
"Starting with Qiming Village, the number of surviving villagers is too small to rebuild the village, and even if Baoling City helps, it will be in vain if no one moves. But the spirit race is different, if the spirit race moves in, first of all, the lack of population will be filled immediately, and then the penetration wing used to defend against ghouls will no longer be hard to find, and finally the lives of all villagers will be guaranteed a double guarantee, the spirit race can take them to the sky to avoid the invasion, or they can temporarily arrange them in the spirit tree city to stay away from the disaster. For humans, the absolute benefits outweigh the cons. ”
"Lord Mu Chen, thank you so much, forgive me for my ignorance. I thought..."
"It's just my idea, and it's still some way from being implemented. Whether or not you can accept it depends on the opinions of the nobles, and humans will not give up their land to other races so easily. Thinking about us back then, it's difficult..."Mu Chen couldn't help but sigh as he recalled the experience of merging the merger with the human.
"We can dedicate all of Touyi and Spirit Tree City to humans, we can also be self-reliant, and we can even provide for the villagers, as long as we are given enough living space, we can suffer anything. We can build our own houses and cultivate our own arable land, and we will never cause any trouble to mankind. Lingxi could see that Mu Chen's words were vague, and he hurriedly expressed his position, and his attitude was so humble that it was pitiful.
"Don't worry, I have a way, since I promised your grandfather, the girl and I will not break our promise. ”
Along the way, several people were discussing the migration of the spirit race, but Mu Chen was facing more than this one thing, he also had to explain what happened to Jiayue, who would wake up at any time, especially when it came to the pass, he didn't know how to speak, for a piece of paper, he let go of the main envoy who killed Erniu and Mo Cheng, for a piece of paper, he also changed his style of doing things for many years, reached a consensus with Quan Yuren, and made a transaction that he had always disdained in his eyes, and the rest of the things also needed to be solved by him personally, and the troubles had just begun.
