The temporary patriarch is no different from the patriarch, and Nan Zipei deliberately pointed it out to me that it really makes me incomprehensible. Similarly, I don't understand why Nan Zipei cares so much about the name of the patriarch.

I was pushed into the room by Nan Zipei and lay down, and I didn't feel sleepy until I fell asleep in a daze in the second half of the night. There were a lot of dreams that night, and one after the other was always unrelated.

When I woke up the next day, the sun was already hanging in the sky. I washed and dressed for a while, and when I walked into the courtyard, I saw the water outside the gate sprinkled with water trees.

"Are you awake?"

I followed the prestige, and Nan Zipei walked over with a large square plate, "What's going on?" ”

"Today's patriarch is succeeded, and the water tribe has come from top to bottom to congratulate the patriarch!"

She deliberately made her voice sound more cheerful, but the depression in her heart could not be hidden. She was depressed that this patriarch was not my aunt now, or that she had taken her place because of my appearance.

Nan Zipei pointed to the chair in the middle of the courtyard and said, "Go and sit down!" Those aquarists are waiting for you! ”

I sat down on the chair in a daze, Nan Zipei made a gesture, and the water tribes outside the door dared to come forward.

The first to come to me was also a river demon, dressed in a black robe, black all over his body.

"Congratulations to the patriarch, and please bless the patriarch."

I looked at Nan Zipei, and she moved the square plate in front of me. In the square plate are compact pieces of polished boxy wood, on which gilt carved a large symbol, which looks a bit like the prayer charm that Master once taught me.

"Give this to him, and the patriarch will bless him."

I wondered, "Why do you want to do this?" ”

"In the past, in order to avoid bullying among the demons of the water tribe, the patriarch left his spiritual power on these talismans. Ordinary demon clans know that the snow maiden will not bully the water tribe. ”

But I'm not a snow girl, and my spiritual power is not even half of my aunt's.

Nan Zipei said: "You just give him this blessing, I have left my spiritual power on it." ”

Her spiritual powers? I secretly thought to myself in my heart, could it be that she is similar to my mother's breath, so ordinary people can't tell whether it is Nan Zipei's breath or my mother's breath?

I hesitated to hand over the wooden talisman on the plate, and the river demon kowtowed to me as if he had received a treasure.

I looked at Nan Zipei, who was smiling faintly beside me, and the suspicion in my heart could not be dispelled.

After the river demon is the fish demon, and the top ten fish demons and the river demon generally get that talisman and go back satisfied.

This strange phenomenon made me wonder, "How can these demons living in the Black Water River care so much about this wooden talisman?" ”

"In fact, we are not the only ones living in the Heishui River, there are... There is also a demon dragon. The demon dragon often oppressed these water tribes, so when they heard that the patriarch had blessed them, they were of course happier than anyone else. ”

"Isn't that demon dragon from our water tribe?" I don't understand why since the demon dragon is a demon and lives in the Heishui River, why is it not a water tribe?

Nan Zipei sighed, "The demon dragon is a demon, but it is not the demon of our water tribe. He occupies the land as the king, and his own clan has nothing to do with our water tribe. In the past, because he couldn't beat Ah Tang, he didn't dare to bully our water tribe. But since Ah Tang ...... Alas. ”

She let out a heavy sigh that showed her concern for my mother. I said, "Now that I am the patriarch of the Water Tribe, I will never let this demon dragon bully our Water Tribe." ”

Nan Zipei listened in a daze, and it took a long time to remember to cheer with the demons.

It's just that in her cheers, there seems to be a lack of sincere joy.

In the afternoon, the demons dispersed, and I sat alone in the house. Now it's just me and Jiuying, and I don't know who to discuss with when I'm full of suspicions.

The stone mirror that was upside down on the table suddenly shook, and a wisp of green smoke burst out and turned into a person sitting next to me, "What's wrong?" ”

As soon as I saw Xuan Ao, I breathed a sigh of relief, "Actually, I feel that there is something wrong with Nan Zipei. ”

"Huh?"

"Don't you think Nan Zipei cares too much about the position of patriarch? And her pity for my aunt seems to be deliberately shown in front of me. ”

Xuan Ao frowned, and walked to the window, just as a gust of wind swept up Luoying, and several of them fell between his hair.

"I also found out, but Nan Zipei's relationship with your aunt is really good. Could it be that we are too suspicious? ”

"I hope so!" I walked up to Xuan Ao and looked at Bai Haitang quietly, but I didn't know that Xuan Ao was also looking at me.

By the time I found out, he had been watching it for a long time.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face? ”

Xuan Ao shook his head, "I just think you've changed, when you were in Qilian Mountain, you only knew how to cry and cry." Now I still have this mind, think about whether you are a person or a ghost around you. ”

I smiled softly, but it only took a moment to regain the same appearance as before, "People will always change, just like my father and aunt will also change." After all, in the world, how many years can there be without the world's naïve and innocent hundred years? ”

In a trance, I realized that I seemed to be a hundred years old. In the past 100 years, I have tasted the joys and sorrows, and I just want to be more stable every day in the future.

Xuan Ao swept my hair behind my ears, "My little human language has grown. ”

His hand froze, as if he didn't want me to grow up.

I shook Xuan Ao's hand, "Xuan Ao, I will definitely take you out of here in a hundred years." ”

The time in the world is different every day, and I don't know if we leave the Heishui River a hundred years later, Danyang City, Xianyang City, and Qinning will still not be the same.

I raised my eyes to see Nan Zipei walking up the corridor in the distance, "Xuan Ao, go back to the stone mirror." Nan Zipei doesn't know you're by my side yet. ”

That puff of green smoke penetrated the stone mirror, and I hurriedly put the stone mirror close to my body before opening the door.

Nan Zipei was about to knock on the door, but was startled by the sudden voice.

"Is there anything wrong with Aunt Zipei?"

Nan Zipei said with a smile: "The patriarch of the three clans is coming in the next few days, and I plan to take you to see Xingyuan on the bank of the Heishui River." ”

"Isn't this matter handed over to Aunt Zipei? Can't I trust you? ”

"It's up to me, but it's the new patriarch who takes over. How dare I not be cautious in everything? ”

I listened to Nan Zipei's meaning, and today I will definitely go to the bank of the Heishui River. I gritted my teeth, my heart was crossed, and I said, "Then let's go!" ”

When we left the house, the demon clans on the street stopped to watch and saluted me and Nan Zipei.

All the way to the riverside, I saw the green grass like the sea, and the endless green sea was full of rows. Three flags were planted in addition to the black rows, white, yellow and red.

"The five elements of the white flag are gold, which is the symbol of the White Tiger Clan. The five lines of the yellow flag are the symbol of the wing clan. The five lines of the red flag are on fire, which is the symbol of the fox clan. ”
