Chapter 8: The Festival

"This badge is like the star I saw in my dreams...... It's like ......," Yun Yi mused in his heart.

"You've been in a coma for two days, and it's the evening of the next day, and if you haven't woken up, you're going to miss tomorrow's festival. Meizi smiled lightly, and the red gauze set off her pretty face, like the plum blossoms that bloomed after the snowflakes fell, which made Yunyi look in a trance for a while.

"Ahh It turns out that I've been in a coma for two days, Grandpa Moyan, they must be worried......" Yun Yi muttered.

At this moment, a lazy figure swayed to the door of the bedroom, it was the sloppy gray of the beard. When he saw Yun Yi who was half-sitting on his feet, he couldn't help but be stunned, "Aha, Yun Yi, you finally woke up, Master Ye didn't help him until he was clamoring to forge a sword!"

"Gray boy, what are you talking nonsense at the door of my old man's room!" the old blacksmith appeared beside Gray with a thick cigarette in his mouth, and then came directly to Yun Yi's side, and looked at the latter softly, "It's okay." ”

"Meizi, let's go, tomorrow is the festival, you have to rest well today. Gray said to Meizi, and then left the house with a sway.

"Uncle Gray has this lazy temperament, which makes you laugh. Meizi stuck out her tongue playfully towards Yunyi, "Have a good rest." With a few words, she departed.

"Stinky boy, have you seen enough, everyone else and girls have already gone away!" Seeing Yun Yi stunned there in a daze in the direction where Meizi left, the old blacksmith shook his cigarette and scolded angrily.

......

In the early hours of the next morning, the dawn swept through the mountains onto the town of Prelit, bringing warmth to the complex.

Before the nameless cemetery, it was already crowded with people, but there was not a trace of noise, not even a single noise. There was a solemn atmosphere in the air, and there was silence in the small area of the entire town of Prelit.

Yun Yi stood in front of the window, looking at the orderly crowd in the square, and couldn't help but feel a sense of respect for the nameless cemetery in his heart.

The people in the square in front of the nameless cemetery can be divided into children and accompanying elders, and behind each child, there are more or less one or two elders standing. Yun Yi suddenly saw Meizi, Gray and Bai, and the pair of Shui Yun who spoke badly to him from the crowd - they and the other pairs stood at the front of everyone, and people could faintly feel that there was a little gap between them and the rest in terms of status and identity.

"You've noticed, the group of people at the head. The old blacksmith appeared beside Yun Yi at some point, and he followed Yun Yi's gaze to look at the Meizi and the others, and said. The old blacksmith was surprisingly not holding a thick cigarette in his mouth, probably because he also knew that smoke was not good for children's bodies.

"They are the children of several great families in the 'Glorious Heaven,' and they belong to the so-called 'honorable men' category in terms of status, and are therefore superior to others, and can stand there in a row before others. ”

"Glory Heaven?" Yun Yi wondered, "What is that? Is it also a town?"

The old blacksmith smiled, the corners of his mouth showed a hint of inexplicable taste, "Glory Heaven......" Through the bedroom window, he looked down on the dense crowd in the square, "That is the most economically prosperous city in our entire Glory Continent, and it is also the largest city. Its existence is like heaven to us civilians, hence the name 'Paradise of Glory'. ”

"The size of the Glory Heaven is not what you can fit in your little head, there are many families, countless guilds compete, fight, and develop, and its prosperity is unparalleled in the world......

"Unparalleled ......" Yun Yi muttered, at this time, an unprecedented thought rose in his heart, he wanted to get out of the town of Prelit and go outside to see the wonderful world.

"Yo, the silent ceremony is over...... old blacksmith smiled lightly, pulling Yun Yi's thoughts back, "The next part is the most crucial part of the festival...... Hehe, the 'most critical' part of the boys is worship. ”

"It's me yesterday, oh no, is it the one I did three days ago?" Yun Yi said softly, but his gaze fell firmly on Meizi's body.

"Their 'worship' is fundamentally different from yours......" A hint of sneer appeared at the corner of the old blacksmith's mouth, "As long as we are present, we can see how attentive your worship is." And what they are going to do is not so. ”

"Why do the families of Glory Heaven value the festivals of our Prellett Town more and more because of their remembrance and reverence for the members of the Cross Star Guild......? No, the strength of the Glory Continent is respected, no matter how rebellious the members of the Cross Star Guild are, people die just a handful of loess, and it is not worthy of those families to worship year after year!"

Yunyi was silent.

"The builder of the Nameless Cemetery is a close friend of the Master of the Doji Guild. When he built those bluestone wordless tablets, he even lingered on them with a wisp of breath belonging to the various members of the Cross Star Guild, so the bluestone wordless tablets had a special kind of coercion. The coercion permeated the entire cemetery, making it difficult to approach. And if you have a sincere heart for those bluestone wordless tablets, then the coercion will be much smaller. ”

"The builder's intentions were good, that is, he hoped that the breath of the cross star would live forever in the world, but for those families who glorified the heavens, such a coercion became a touchstone for their children. ”

"Touchstone?" Yun Yi wondered.

The old blacksmith sneered, looked at the groups of people standing at the front of the crowd, and then said: "Look at it, the so-called worship ceremony is the process of the group of family boys 'testing the gold'. You must know that the coercion of the bluestone wordless tablet is increasing with the distance close to the body of the stele, and those boys are by resisting the coercion emitted by the bluestone wordless tablet to 'test the gold', the more they can get close to the bluestone wordless tablet, the higher their talent is. ”

"For those families, a child with excellent talent is extremely beneficial to the prestige, development, and so on of the family...... Well, these are not what you should understand, don't say it, just take it, it just so happens that they are the same age as you, and seeing the talents of your peers will also have far-reaching benefits for you to get out of this small place in the future. ”

"Well, I'll watch. Yun Yi nodded, but his focus was on what the old blacksmith said, "get out of this small place".

As he was talking, he saw a child in the crowd move. From a long distance, Yun Yi could only see that it was a child in a luxurious brocade robe, and he was young with his back, but he had already given Yun Yi a sense of pride. That kind of arrogance seems to be three points better than Zhishuiyun.

I saw the boy walk out of the crowd, and in an instant he became the focus of everyone's attention.

It was a blonde boy, with a high head and slightly pursed lips, looking high, and his face was no longer reverent. Through his eyes, you could see a burning desire to prove his talent in front of everyone's eyes.

As soon as he stepped out, he stepped into the nameless cemetery. The moment he stepped in, the desolation and sorrow and faint coercion in the nameless cemetery crept in, making his haughty expression stagnant. The face of the blond-haired brocade-robed child showed a hint of pride that was not suitable for his childish age, and then he took a deep breath and took several steps in a row under the coercion.

When he reached the eighth step, his face changed completely, and his pride suddenly disappeared, and then he staggered out of the nameless cemetery, stood up straight at the entrance of the cemetery, and bowed to the bluestone wordless tablets with the elders who had accompanied him.
