Chapter 43: A Special Funeral
It turned out that it was played by the funeral band.
There were many people who participated in the funeral, and presumably the people of the tribe, who could walk, joined in when they saw the funeral procession passing by their homes. Unlike the mortal world, where the white-haired people do not give funerals to the black-haired people, here, instead the elders of the tribe came, including the old lady, and they stood at the front of the line. Walk with the funeral procession to the beach to the east.
Everyone took off their usual civilian clothes, put on almost black robes, and the black team, from a distance, looked like a swimming dragon, and the dusk sunset was also like being wrapped in a layer of dark black tulle, making the sky and the sea have no boundary. There were quite a few seabirds in the sky, hovering above the crowd. Seems to be waiting for something!
"If it weren't for my carelessness, Ju Duo'er and her aunt probably wouldn't have died!" Yan Yi held the door frame with one hand and whispered to himself, his lips had lost their luster due to being in a coma for many days, and the upturned white skin seemed to be stained with winter snowflakes.
Hearing this, Ye Youcho turned his face sideways, frowned, and said, "It's none of your business!"
"You don't know, at that time~"
"I know!" Hayucho interrupted rudely, "You don't have to blame yourself, this is already the best result!"
Hearing this, Yan Yi raised his head and looked at Ye You Town incredulously.
Ye Youcho sighed, turned around, leaned back against the door frame, put his hands on his chest, looked at Yan Yi, and turned his face away, maybe she also felt that the smell on his body was unpleasant.
"Originally, Ju Duo'er told you that it might be better, after all, this is their tribe's business, but, it seems, now it's not a bad thing!" After a pause, she continued, "The tribe has a claim for the Orchid Spirit Flower, and the Orchid Spirit Sacred Flower also has a claim for the tribe." The tribe wants the holy water of the orchid spirit flower, and the orchid spirit flower needs the blood of the holy clan to nourish it, and it is an orthodox bloodline, so"
"So, Ju Lan'er's death is inevitable?" Yan Yi stood up straight and looked at Ye Youding in surprise.
Ye Youding nodded and continued, "Originally, they planned to be Ju Duo'er's eldest brother and second brother to collect holy water, and they were also going to sacrifice it, but because of your joining, Ju Lan'er rushed to go!
"But, after all, she saved me!" Thinking of that time, the flower tube passed through Ju Lan'er's body, if it wasn't for Ju Lan'er's hysterical roar, maybe he would have gone to Huangquan Road earlier.
"No!" Ye Youcho said, "You have the Nuwa Stone Protector, the Orchid Spirit Holy Flower can't kill you, at most it can only hurt the epidermis!"
After listening to these words of Ye Yucho, it was inevitable that my heart was still sad, but I was more surprised, "Why do you know this?"
"Ju Duo'er said!" Ye Youcho played with her fingers, her eyes flickering and looking away, "You have been in a coma for the past three days, and every other hour, she has to come to see her!" and," Speaking of this, she suddenly stopped, glanced at him with mixed feelings, and continued, "Moreover, she knows you well, but she is afraid that you will blame yourself when you wake up, so she told us all the secrets of their clan!"
"What's the secret?"
Ye Youding was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect his focus to be on secrets, not what Ju Duoer did, and he couldn't help but feel a little upset for Ju Duoer, and it took a while to calm down his emotions.
"You said that Ju Duo'er told you the secret of their clan, what is the secret?" As if thinking that Ye Youcho hadn't heard clearly, he raised his voice a little, and his tone became more anxious.
Ye Youding took a deep breath and told Yan Yi everything Ju Duoer told her.
It turns out that this orchid spirit holy flower is both a holy object and an evil demon, it blooms once every hundred years, and after a hundred years, its holy water is actually a burden to it, if the flower still stays in its body after it blooms, it will face destruction.
Therefore, the flowering is only to facilitate the descendants of the Juyun tribe to get water. However, after the holy water is harvested, it must be re-absorbed, otherwise the Orchid Spirit Holy Flower will also die.
And this nourishment must be the offspring of the tribe with orthodox blood. Although there are quite a few people in the tribe who can play this role, the appetite of the Lan Ling Holy Flower is very good, and if it is not stopped, it can devour the entire tribe.
For this reason, it is traditional for the royal family to complete the task of "taking the holy water", and at the same time as taking the holy water, they also have to prepare for the sacrifice. Originally, this time, the old alliance leader was ready for the eldest prince and the second prince to complete this task, but the arrival of the disciples of Tianyun Mountain disrupted this plan.
And Ju Lan'er, who was injured when she was young and has not healed, is willing to go through this experience for her nephew, although the eldest prince and the second prince and the old alliance leader are strongly opposed, but the old lady nodded, and the matter is settled. This is the first time in the history of the Juyun tribe that a woman has been sacrificed, and it is also the first time that people from outside the tribe have participated in it.
Yan Yi was also dumbfounded when he heard this, he could be regarded as a full reader of divine books, and now he realized that many things were only scratching the surface.
Ye Youding wanted to speak and stopped, his fingers lightly touched his nose, and he looked at Yan Yi for a long time, but he didn't say a word.
"What are you going to say?" Yan Yi looked at her in confusion, his eyes revealing curiosity, and he thought that she still had something he didn't know.
"You, why don't you go and soak yourself!" Ye Youcho said in a low voice, "The smell is quite big!"
After her reminder, Yan Yi came back to his senses from his sadness, and he was embarrassed and didn't know what to say. With a red face, he walked back to the back room.
In the distance, Ju Lan'er's fairy body was put on the boat, the boat was full of flowers, and many butterflies and bees kept coming, following the boat to the direction of the setting sun. And the seabirds that were originally hovering in the sky gradually approached the boat, changing formations from time to time, like a group of guards, escorting Ju Min's body.
The crowd did not disperse until dark, and although they had never met, several people in Tianyun Mountain could not hide their sadness.
"No wonder they refuse to give us Lanling Holy Water!" As soon as he entered the door, Yuan Wu muttered, "Fortunately, Senior Brother has Nuwa Stone, otherwise!" he said, glancing at Yuan Jia, "I'm afraid Yan Yi will also follow her aunt!"
"Yes!" As soon as Yuan Jia sat down, she took a sip of water first, and then sighed, "It's not easy for them, Miss Julan'er can be regarded as a member of the effort to save the common people, she is a great person!"
Yan Yi didn't say a word, he looked at the western sky in a daze, and the afterglow did not dissipate, reflecting on his face, making the originally pale face a little angry. He seemed to be in a daze, and he seemed to be thinking, and everyone just looked at him, and they didn't wake him up.
Until the appearance of Juduoer.
After all, she is her own aunt, although she has not been in the tribe for a long time, her relationship with her aunt is not unfamiliar. The almost black robe wrapped around her thin body, she looked more and more delicate, and her face was much haggard, if it wasn't for acquaintance, I really couldn't believe it, this was the woman on Tianyun Mountain who was jumping around all day long, giggling.
The arrival of Juduoer attracted everyone's attention. In the face of everyone's enthusiasm, she could only smile reluctantly.
