The Righteous Player(s)

Vol 2 Chapter 219: To bury is to forget

Longevity is naturally good. But if you are born to live forever, that's even better.

　　 Resisting death is a betrayal of all the "life" I have experienced so far.

　　 Every painful choice, every sorrow that is hatched from loss, every joy that is ignited by gain... The love and hatred of the past will also be wiped out by time.

　　 When looking at the tomb of the grandson or great-grandson of a lover and an enemy, the emotions of the past that appear in my heart seem so absurd.

　　 It seems that everything that I have worked hard for and suffered in the past has become meaningless because of the great continuation of life.

From this point of view, the strong desire held by the Golden Tier and the notion of using the firewood of the element of "soul" as a substitute for life expectancy is to pave the way for them to completely reshape the worldview after they become gods. use.

　　 The outlook on life of the short-born species is completely different from that of the long-term species-this is naturally reasonable.

　　 Giants themselves are longevity species.

　　 But the undead and the gods are the longest-lived species in this world.

　　——Bone bones are both undead and gods.

　　 "The so-called'funeral'...is a farewell gift to the dead."

　　 Duke Skeleton still knelt down in front of the bone-buried mother-in-law, and whispered: "The earliest funeral... was formed in the early first era. The so-called'Bone Burial Ceremony' is to swallow the dead with the earth...

　　 "The ancients, why would they think...the earth should be used to bury the dead?"

　　 His voice is calm and cold, just listening to it is enough to make your back chill.

　　 "Naturally...not for rest. The association of ‘burial’ with ‘rest’ is after people think of... [The earth is always silent, like winter, like a corpse].

　　 "——At its root, burial is for forgetting. Burial is for not seeing each other again."

　　 Duke Skeleton said this, and was silent for a moment.

　　 He seems to want to take a deep breath... but he has no "breathing" function anymore.

　　 "Therefore," Mr. Skeleton said in a low voice, "Burial-is betrayal.

"People will reminisce about the dead, but people have already known from the fear deep in the blood... People will eventually face death. Therefore, people have less fear of death itself. More, then, It is because of the matter of'death', which means that they are absolutely separated from what they already have."

The skeletal father's speech became more and more fluid: "They are not afraid of'death is coming', because they already know that'death is coming'. From the very beginning, what they fear is that'death' has divided their lives. .

　　 "It's like being exiled to the end of the sky. Exiled to a world beyond this world with empty hands... The ancients' imagination of the world after death roughly came from this."

　　 As he gradually adapted to modern grammar, the bones were no longer so intermittent when speaking... Therefore, the heavy and praying pressure was reduced a lot.

　　 Longjing Tea's heart beats fiercely.

　　 His instinct made him feel uneasy and excited.

　　He vaguely noticed...

　　 The skeleton seems to be doing something big.

　　 Because the first meeting was too abrupt. Now, he suddenly recalled...they didn't perform any ritual to call the skeleton father.

　　 Then it is impossible for the skeleton father to come here on his own initiative.

　　 In other words.

　　 Skeleton Duke appeared here, it has nothing to do with them. They just caught up.

　　 He must be-and can only be, has returned to the funeral song duchy early.

　　The problem is here.

　　 This empty nest old bone, why do you go back to your hometown alone?

Visiting relatives?

Or……

　　"...It is precisely because of the'Five Laws of the Dead' that death cuts everything and abandons everything, so that it becomes terrifying. Excluding the fear of abandoning the indispensable, death itself is not terrible.

　　 "My country was once called [mourning song]. This is not its real name."

　　 There was no response from anyone, and the old voice of the skeletal father rang from the center of the tomb sea.

"Because it once reverberated throughout the country as a'parting song' for a month. But it is different from what other countries think... This is not because of their bravery, but because in the long-term speculation, we and the giants have been able to Looking straight and facing death. It is actually a kind of celebration and a farewell.

"There is a saying that has been circulated among you dwarves for a long time-giants have no vision when they are young, and they cannot speak when they grow old. The first half of the sentence is correct...because giants have only one huge eye. If you open your eyes for a little longer, you will feel tired.

"We are not like you. We need hunting and handwork. Therefore, we don't need eyes to locate prey. Giants have mental powers, and mental powers alone are enough to gain a sense of space. Then in the age of nutrient scarcity, nutrition should give priority to the brain. And the torso, the eyes may not develop temporarily.

"When the body becomes strong and the brain is fully developed, giants will open their eyes. At this time, they are used to find a mate... The clearer and brighter the eyes, the better the brain and body development, the better competitive.

　　"The old giants can actually speak. But they don't speak in front of others...This is because they are gradually cutting off their ‘fate’ from the world.

"If you separate after quarreling, it will be a pain for both of you. But if the two of you don’t see each other, it will take away all emotions after a long time. The giant is already dying for himself after he gets old. Prepare-just as you prepare for adolescence when you are infancy, and prepare for adulthood when you are a teenager.

　　 "It's just that you don't dare to look directly at death... so the more you age, the more you want to escape, the more you can't hear death. As if death won't come as long as you don't hear..."

　　 "——but death will come at last."

　　 Duke Skeleton said so calmly.

　　 It is ironic to say these words in his current capacity.

　　Because the skeleton himself is a **** who escaped death and was born...

　　 In the record, the Skeleton Duke was the last Grand Duke of the Funeral Song Principality-the Great Enchantment collapsed at that time, and the Funeral Song Principality was the duchy closest to the Great Enchantment. Before the small enchantment was supported, the Principality of Funeral Songs was already drowned in gray fog and could not be retreated.

In the face of the "must death", all the transcendents who believe in the buried mother immediately use their last strength to kill the transcendents of other beliefs in the Principality, and absorb all the curses on them... and then take the poison and die. Qian used bone-bursting mother-in-law's unique magic to seal his bones.

　　 and the skeleton, after everyone committed suicide, silently launched a sublimation ceremony.

　　 He absorbed the "death" of everyone and turned it into the foundation of his ascension. Under his empty cloak, the souls of all the people are bound.

　　——It is He who keeps everyone restless, so that He can abandon death.

　　 It is this betrayal of the "mustful death", the betrayal of fate, the betrayal of the mission, and the betrayal of the nation that made him the **** of betrayal.

　　 So now...

　　 The anxiety and excitement in Longjing Tea's heart became stronger.

　　What the **** does Mr. Skeleton want to say?

　　 What does he want to do?

　　 Longjing Tea is more and more aware that something is approaching... Even the stray children and the stray children who perceive the less powerful delicious goose vaguely begin to feel chills in their backs.

　　 "I buried everyone. I said goodbye to everyone. I betrayed everyone~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I forgot everyone."

　　 Skeleton said word by word: "I have cut off contact with everyone. I bid farewell to everything about me-my world was destroyed on that day."

　　He slowly stood up from the ground.

　　His figure is tall and majestic, like a pure white mountain.

　　 "I always feel that there is something wrong."

　　 The old man's voice sounded slowly: "That's it.

　　 "I have already ruined myself..."

　　 After that, the skeleton father who stood like a knight was silent for a moment.

　　 "——I'm sorry, mother-in-law."

　　 It was a very low voice.

　　 Only Dove caught this whisper.

　　 The next moment, Duke Skeleton did something that no one in the room had expected--
