Chapter 154: Little Junior Sister's Peach Blossom
Hunting, sacrificing, prostrating, prostrating, ancient chants resounded through the flames in the souls of men.
Lu Yun in the dark, all that came to mind was the spectacular sacrificial scene that had been.
That majestic power echoed in his heart, so that Lu Yun couldn't help but bow his head in awe.
Many orcs were thrilled to see it, and they knelt on the ground, smashing their right hands into fists where their hearts were, and bowed their heads reverently.
Their mouths let out a roar similar to that of a wild beast, and that sound, intertwined, formed a strange and vital music, which was transmitted far away.
At this moment, the flames that were about to be extinguished in the fire pond of the Aoki clan were all in the air for a moment, as if they were returning to the light, showing the last glory.
The old patriarch's fingers fell, and all the light disappeared.
Those scenes are just remnants of the fire that once remained in the fire.
And now, the power of the fire pond is declining, and it is impossible for them to reproduce the prosperity of the past.
The old patriarch lifted the stone box, walked to the edge of the firepit, and opened the lid.
A palm-sized black flame burned silently inside, black enough to engulf all the light, and all you could see was darkness at a glance.
The old patriarch knelt on one knee and placed the flame in the fire pit of the Aoki clan.
The moment the flames entered the fire pit, the already faint blue spark flickered several times and almost went out.
The remaining power continued to shrink, and finally occupied only a small corner in the firepit, refusing to come close to the black flame.
And the black flame stretched his waist lazily and dominated most of the fire pond, and at this moment, all the people of the Aoki clan looked at the location of the fire pond.
There was anger in their eyes that was ignited.
The fire pit is where their faith is, the source of all power, and the fire pit that belongs to them is being occupied by foreigners.
The erosion of that power made the already weak Aoki clan make a painful sound, and the totem on his body was extremely hot.
In the dark cave, Ji Hongxi hid in the corner, playing his role.
In the wailing around him, Ji Hongxi was thinking about whether he should follow, and when he hesitated, his arm was grabbed.
It was an extremely slender arm, even if it didn't use spiritual power, Ji Hongxi could pinch it off.
The muscles stiffened for a moment, then quickly relaxed.
Ji Hongxi's eyes saw through the darkness and looked at the person who appeared beside him.
"I remember you."
He heard the man say, "You are the one who came with the patriarch's guest a year ago." ”
"What about her?"
"Why didn't she come?"
"The patriarch has waited for a long time, and the young patriarch has used his own strength to keep the fire pit burning again and again for her."
"The young patriarch is dying, what about her?"
He asked again, his voice faint and almost inaudible because of weakness and torment from his soul.
But the interrogation and pain in that tone were so obvious.
Ji Hongxi could see the other party's distorted cheeks and hideous expression.
On the pale face, the pair of eyes that were thin to the depths of the protruding eyes, because of his appearance, the flickering fire was rekindled in despair, just like the fire that the Aoki clan has never completely extinguished.
"I'm sorry, something happened to us, and we'll be here as soon as it's resolved."
After a pause, he added, "She's here." ”
He felt the hand that grabbed his arm exert force, the nail digging into his skin, causing a tingling sensation, and suddenly, as if the other party was exhausted, he leaned against the stone wall of the cave, panting.
He breathed heavily, his voice hoarse, and the movement caught the attention of everyone in the cave.
"I'm fine."
He waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and his eyes never left Ji Hongxi.
"My name is Mu Lang, and my mother is Aunt Aqi."
Looking at Ji Hongxi's thoughtful eyes, Mu Lang smiled, and the smile on his thin cheeks was like a pear blossom after a heavy rain, fragile and beautiful.
In addition to the weakness and sickly appearance, this is an extremely delicate face, and it is not difficult to imagine the other party's complexion when he is healthy.
"My mother once wanted me to marry her."
Mu Lang said, which made Ji Hongxi finally think of the enthusiastic aunt he met when he first came to the Aoki Clan, and the other party really wanted to be a matchmaker for the little junior sister at that time.
"What's her name?"
Speaking of Lu Yun, Mu Lang's sunken cheeks were filled with a handsome smile, and his eyes were very bright.
"I've seen her, and I went to see her secretly when you were away, and I like her very much, but I don't know her name yet."
He asked Agusu, but Agusu refused.
He actually knew that he was a different person from her, and he heard Agusu say that even in the outside world, her identity was very powerful, and Agusu was for his own good, not to let himself fall deeper.
But so what.
He liked her, but he wasn't prepared to let her know that all he wanted was her name.
“…… Lu Yun, my junior sister is called Lu Yun, the land of the land, the rhyme of the charm. ”
Ji Hongxi's voice was a little hoarse.
He never thought that after a short stay at that time, his little junior sister would provoke a peach blossom.
"Lu Yun!" The two words seemed to come out of the heart, and then tossed and turned on the tip of the tongue, and when they were finally called, they were lingering with compassion.
Mu Lang smiled again, and his eyes like black grapes were amazingly bright.
"You're here to help us, right, what do you want to do, we'll cooperate with you."
In the entire cave, everyone was quietly looking at Ji Hongxi, no one refuted, and no one questioned again.
Even if they had doubts, they obeyed Mu Lang's decision.
Only then did Ji Hongxi discover that among the men of the Aoki clan, it was Mu Lang who was giving orders.
"We want to know what's going on here, and ...... What do they want to do? ”
At the mention of this, Mu Lang's eyes were in a trance for a while, and there was a strong sense of humiliation and hatred in his eyes.
"A year ago, after you left, we waited for a full month as agreed without waiting for you to show up, but at that time, it was time for us to trade with the Good Water Tribe, and we couldn't wait any longer."
At that time, everything was going according to the plan of previous years, and the young patriarch Agusu took people to the middle point to make a deal with the Shanshui Clan, but those wolf-like beast people were at this time to forcibly capture the Aoki Clan with the strength of the clan.
The patriarch Aguyu led the people to resist desperately.
But the fire pit of the beast clan is stronger than them, and many of their warriors have followed the young patriarch, and most of the men who remain in the tribe are in a weak position.
The tribe fell quickly, and by the time Agusu returned, the entire tribe had been overrun by the orcs.
And the orcs threatened Agusu with the lives of the entire tribe and the safety of the fire pond, and Agusu could only be captured.
Since then, the tribe has been divided into two parts, men and women.
For almost a year, they didn't see each other again.
The only thing they could feel was the power of the fire that was still burning in their souls.
But when the tribe is breached, the fire pond is eroded, its power is weakened again, and with the passage of time, it will disappear completely.
It is the young patriarch who has been secretly colluding with the fire pond, using the power of his bloodline and all his magic power to slow down the decline of the fire pond.
However, this is just drinking to quench thirst, and the young patriarch can't hold it.
What the orcs have to do is to devour the blue fire of the Aoki clan with their black flames before the fire pond is completely extinguished.
