Longevity: Beginning from Becoming a Clan Leader
Chapter 214 The Grand Ceremony Ends and the Time for the Tribute to Be Decided
Ouyue City.
Yuanci Mountain.
Eight years have passed, and this towering mountain has not changed at all, as dead as usual.
Only today.
There is something different about this mountain.
Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz...
Waves of fine insect wings flapping sounded in the air.
On the ground, in a dock fort in the suburbs, more than 800 people live in it. The dock fort is a small military building that can only be built by aristocratic families. It is extremely strong and can almost be regarded as a small pass or city.
Whenever troubled times come, many aristocratic families will enter such a dock to defend against foreign enemies. With the defensive power of this thing, many aristocratic families really hold on to the new dynasty.
But.
Such a defensive weapon has been destroyed today.
In the blue sky, a yellow-green torrent covered the sky and covered everything.
When this torrent passed.
All living creatures on the ground disappeared.
Plants, animals, insects...
Even humans.
In the fortress, a gust of wind blew, and the sound of helmets falling was particularly harsh in the silent environment.
In sight, one after another white skeletons came into view!
Big, small, thick, thin, tall, short...
No matter who they were.
Their flesh and blood were eaten away, not even the intestines were left, everything was so clean, except for the skeleton...
And such a yellow-green torrent, without scruples, ate everything around Yuanci Mountain, including the already devastated Ouyue City, and then returned to Yuanci Mountain.
Just like a hundred rivers returning to the sea and a young swallow flying into the forest.
On Yuanci Mountain.
The old man with yellow-green skin and thin wings behind him opened his arms wide, and his small eyes under the wrinkles of his skin blinked one after another, welcoming the overwhelming torrent.
And that torrent, in fact, was a locust!
When the locusts flew towards the old man, they all stopped in mid-air, as if they were self-immolating, but they turned into ashes without any burning process.
The old man's face became more and more rosy, and even his eyes, which were dead and not like those of a living person, became more lively, and there was more vitality on his body.
He no longer looked like a dead body like before.
"Ah, it feels so good."
The old man shook his palms, feeling his body senses and the long-lost vitality, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth! !
It was incredible.
At this time, two cold feelings spread from behind him.
The smile disappeared immediately, and he returned to a dead face.
"Water, cut."
"Locust, how do you feel?"
The old man, whose skin was pale and a little swollen, asked this question.
However, the words seemed to be concerned, but the taste of extreme jealousy could not be concealed.
Huang rolled his eyes and looked at Shui, "It's OK."
Zhan next to him said, "In this case, this grand ceremony is over."
"The next grand ceremony will have to wait another three hundred years."
Shui said, "Next time, it's mine."
He emphasized the word "mine".
"Yeah."
The two of them hummed in unison.
Zhan glanced at Shui.
He was the most anxious among them. Could it be that he couldn't hold on any longer?
A glimmer of strangeness flashed in his eyes.
"Since this grand ceremony is over, reconstruction must be put on the agenda. Have you completed the list of enterprising and heroic people collected in the past few years?" Huang suddenly asked.
He actually didn't care about these. He just didn't want to be watched by Shui.
When it comes to business, Zhan, who has more say among the three, said, "The list is already there. There are some talents in the four counties."
"Then, the old way?"
"Okay."
The three agreed.
Afterwards, Zhan took out a stack of paper, tore it up without even looking at it, and then destroyed most of the paper, leaving only a random one.
"Okay, that's it. Tell Beast and the others to follow the procedure."
"Yes."
"By the way, how is Xia Yun?" Huang suddenly asked.
Zhan thought for a moment and said, "Both sides have started the grand ceremony, but compared to the past, this time is much later than ours."
"It has also started, and it's much later, Zhan, do you think we should take advantage of this opportunity..." Huang was a little eager to move.
Zhan turned his head suddenly.
The gloomy chill quickly intensified, and a layer of frost condensed on the surrounding green grass.
A wave of inexplicable slashing feeling appeared on Huang's body.
Huang's face sank, and inexplicably, there appeared slowly wriggling insect eggs in the soil around him.
At this time.
The humidity in the air suddenly increased, and dewdrops appeared on the tender grass.
Shui, who was swollen, stared at the two coldly, "Fight again?"
Huang's face looked ugly.
And Zhan and Shui's faces were even more indifferent.
Huang was shaken and took a step back.
The eggs stopped wriggling, the dew quickly dried up, and the piercing slashing sensation gradually weakened.
Zhan spoke indifferently at this time.
"Among the three parties, we are the weakest. Any opportunistic method is to provoke anger. Maintaining the status quo is the best choice for us."
Shui, who had the worst and most jealous personality just now, nodded calmly at this moment, and Huang, after a moment of silence, relaxed his expression and became as indifferent as them, "You are right."
"It's a pity that if Yangzhou had not been lost and those guys had not betrayed..."
When the Three Kingdoms were first established, Xia had only five states, Yun and Yue had two states each. Later, Xia took away one state from Yue, making Yue the weakest country. (This was mentioned in the previous article, and it is actually a foreshadowing)
But the truth...
The three of them fell into silence.
"It is meaningless to think about this. Let's arrange the person who will decide the fate first."
The wind blew, making the piece of paper in Zhan's hand rustle.
Who would have thought that the fate of a country would be decided on this small piece of paper.
No matter what happened on Yuanci Mountain, at least now, it has nothing to do with the Chen family.
The Chen family now has its own things to do.
Three months have passed since the death of the great-grandfather.
The family's affairs have also resumed full operation.
At this time, some news, whether good or bad, was presented to Chen Nuo's table.
Chen Mansion.
Chen Nuo sat on a chair.
The red blood tofu dipped in sweet sauce is a delicious delicacy that melts in your mouth!
Next to him was the tall and strong Chen Yong, and Chen Deng who was savoring a plate of grilled fish.
"Come, Yongzi, eat this."
"By the way, Yongzi, have you taken a fancy to any of the girls I introduced to you these days?" Chen Nuo said.
This was one of the wishes of his great uncle. Besides, Chen Yong was indeed old. He was the same age as him, but only a few months younger. At this age, he was truly an older young man!
Chen Nuo had urged him before, but he always stammered and dodged, and his attitude was very firm, which made Chen Nuo embarrassed to force him to marry a wife.
This time, the great uncle had already made a statement before he left. Do you still want to hide?
I, your brother, have given in!
