Chapter 136 No.17 Scene [-]

The black water is faint, and the surroundings are lonely.A solemn and solemn funeral is currently being held outside Cangliu City, which is located deep in the Chanying Sea.Feng Weishu's teacher, former priest Sui Ya passed away just a month ago.At this time, the crystal coffin containing the corpse was carried on the shoulders by eight decent-looking acolytes, and under the watchful eyes of almost all the clansmen, they walked slowly towards Ganyuan outside the city.

Ganyuan, which spans almost the entire seabed of Chanying, is a wide trench used by the Cangyu people to bury the dead throughout the ages.For more than [-] years, no one dared to really dive into the deep trench to find out what it looks like underneath.And this long and narrow area that can't be seen at a glance has become a mysterious passage that can connect the two worlds of life and death for the family.

Perhaps it was because they had lost too much in the previous sufferings. I don’t know when the Cangyu people who gave up life on land began to believe that when people leave this world, they must wash away the filth on their bodies and use this to cleanse their bodies. Clean up the good and evil in the past, and return to the most authentic appearance before you can be reincarnated.Ever since, they threw clean corpses into Ganyuan, hoping that one day their closest relatives could re-enter reincarnation and return to their side.

Therefore, whenever someone in the clan dies, the dharma hall will send a deacon to collect the body.The priests took out all the viscera of the deceased, washed the dirt and sewed them back into the abdomen, and then wrapped them densely from head to toe with a wide seaweed called Qingmao.

Qingmao only grows on the seabed near Ganyuan. It is cold in nature and extremely bitter in taste.Wrap the deceased with it, and the corpse will no longer be bitten by fish and shrimp in the sea.

Right now, the black sea water is so calm that it seems that it is no longer flowing.It was late at night, and the moonlight cast countless sparkling beams of light from the calm sea, shining on Sui Ya's coffin, as if the gods in the sky were calling his soul to return.

"...

The Gujiang River is cold and deep, and the cliffs are covered with snow.

In the middle of the boat, it is suitable for the paradise.

The sun and the moon have their permanence, and the stars have their movements.

From the old in four o'clock, everyone listens salty.

Qing Yunmanman, the Milky Way is especially bright.

The essence is not exhausted, and all spirits are blessed.

It's hard to play the harp, and the feathers don't dance.

Promised land Promised land, where is the place?
......"

Walking all the way in front of the coffin, Feng Weishu, who opened the way for the dead, with a low voice, chanted the long poem in the family that has no beginning and no end.The surrounding clansmen also gradually chanted along with him.The singing was melodious and spread along the ocean current, even attracting a group of giant whales patrolling nearby.

However, just halfway through the funeral, a piercing voice suddenly sounded from the crowd, which completely destroyed the solemn atmosphere of the funeral and caused an uproar among the clansmen:
"May I ask the chief priest, since Master Sui Ya was in office, the court has told the clansmen that they have sent people to search for new black gem deposits. Now that he is no longer alive, why hasn't he found any new clues?"

The speaker's voice was not considered loud, but every word he uttered was enough to be heard clearly by the tens of thousands of Cangyu people who came to the funeral.

I saw him wearing a dark blue gown, with a large cloak covering his head and face.As soon as he opened his mouth, the surrounding clansmen retreated one after another, making a gap in the crowd as if avoiding the plague.However, hearing that the other party actually asked about Xuan Gui, which no one had mentioned for a long time, some clansmen suddenly nodded their heads one after another, and looked at the high priest standing in front of the funeral procession with puzzled and hopeful eyes.

"Looking for a new mysterious gem is the last wish of Master Shizong who exhausted his life but failed to realize it. Since I took over as the arch priest, I have been searching for good strategies, but unfortunately I have gained very little so far. But today I promise you that I will never continue Let the matter of Xuangui pose a threat to the survival and reproduction of our clan!"

Feng Weizhu was a little annoyed, but it was not convenient for him to get angry during the funeral, so he had to stop for a while to deal with it.However, he did not foresee that the other party would become recalcitrant:

"Since you have achieved very little for so many years, how can you make such a guarantee? We all know that if the mysterious gems are exhausted, the enchantment of Cangliu City will no longer be sustainable. At that time, everyone in the city, including you and me All clansmen will be in danger!"

"It's absolutely impossible for this to happen. Could it be that I, as the chief priest of the family, cannot convince Your Excellency with what I say?"

Feng Weishu didn't want to continue to entangle with the other party, so he turned around and wanted to move on.Unexpectedly, the man pushed aside the crowd in front of him, swam straight to the spiritual path where the coffin was transported, and stood with arms crossed:

"Couldn't the chief priest not lie? In fact, the court and the past priests have known for a long time that the exhaustion of the black gems does not mean that our family is left with a dead end. It's just that you have been unwilling to try to find other methods. And deliberately concealed this matter from the clansmen!"

Now, for many people in the clan, the bloody suppression of the rebel party in Cangliu City 20 years ago has long been forgotten.But what the visitor said caused the crowd to explode.

Feng Weishu finally realized that the visitor was not kind, waved his hand and shouted sharply:
"I don't care who you are, but spreading rumors in public and deliberately disrupting the funeral of Master Zong is already committing a felony! Come here, take it down for me, and wait for a careful interrogation in the future!"

However, before his words fell, he suddenly heard a dull loud noise from the depths of the trench, like a low growl from an ancient monster that had just woken up.The crowd gathered around the trench didn't know what happened, they just stood there and looked around.Soon they saw a series of dense bubbles floating up from the depths of Ganyuan, making the originally clear sea water instantly turbid, and even the seabed under everyone's feet began to tremble violently.

The whales that had been circling around seemed to sense that something was about to happen, and turned around and left one after another.The expression in Feng Weishu's eyes also gradually became more and more uneasy - because he suddenly realized that the enchantment that had been covering Cangliu City since more than ten thousand years ago was about to be broken in an instant!

More than [-] years ago, the ancestors of the Cangyu people tried their best to migrate from land to the bottom of Chanying.However, when the people of the clan gradually adapted to life in the sea and the construction of Cangliu City was nearing completion, they discovered that this city of hope, which carried the fate of the whole clan, was actually built on a submarine volcano.

However, the catastrophe on land had come, and those who survived did not have enough ability to build another new city under the Chanying Sea.Therefore, the first priest in the family activated the spell to temporarily stop the eruption of this submarine volcano.It's just that the power of the spell is limited after all, and the priests of successive dynasties have to rely on the power of Xuangui to continuously strengthen this barrier, so that Cangliu City can survive until now.

"Don't go back, Cangliu City can't be saved!"

Feng Weishu yelled at the panicked crowd, but the people around him were already panicked, and they just swarmed towards the homeland that their ancestors worked so hard for generations.However, the glowing fireflies in front of him, the majestic underwater city that stood for thousands of years, was swallowed up by the fiery red lava gushing out of the ground in just a short moment.

For a moment, the earth trembled and the mountains shook, and the water and the sky changed color.When the icy ocean current met the lava, it immediately boiled up, sending off a grayish-white steam on the bottom of the sea.The steam rolled around Cangliu City, which had been turned into ruins, and rushed in all directions. Fish, shrimp, seaweed, coral, etc. were all cooked in an instant.

The cold water and boiling water are constantly blending, making people's vision blurred.Seeing that the death-bringing chaos was about to descend on the tens of thousands of Cangyu people, the crowd became more and more chaotic, crying, praying, and helplessly huddling with the strangers on the left and right. In a mess, no one can escape.

However, death did not come as expected, but was blocked by an invisible force only a few feet away from everyone like a ghost.The boiling sea water whizzed past overhead with countless ruins and fleshy remains, and settled down on the other side of Ganyuan.The lava gushing out from under Cangliu City, which was as dazzling as the sun, also gradually cooled down, turning into groups of pitch-black and smooth boulders.

As the volcano gradually calmed down, the bottom of the sea was no longer illuminated by the fluorescent lamps in the city, and the surroundings suddenly became much darker.Only then did people realize that they had escaped a catastrophe.A series of cheers erupted beside Gan Yuan, and among them, Kun Jie finally turned down the gauze cloak on his head, revealing his thin face, but his eyes were staring at him without blinking. The High Priest in front of him.

Feng Weishu finally recognized the other person's face, and even when he understood the cause of today's incident, he roared angrily:
"Kunjie! You escaped on land for more than [-] years, and you are finally willing to show your face today! My master and I were still wondering why the Xuangui, which should have been able to support hundreds of years in the city, would disappear in just a few years. Exhausted! It turns out that all of this is you, as well as your rebels who have not been wiped out! The enchantment will disappear today, and it is also a gift from Bayer and others!"

"The great priest should not spit blood on people. The enchantment in Cangliu City is reinforced with the power of black roses. To break the curse, you need to use a lot of black roses. Even you and Sui Ya can't find something, we How can you easily obtain small fish and shrimps that can’t afford big waves?”

Kunjie smiled sarcastically, but secretly acquiesced that this terrible disaster was caused by him.Among the noisy crowd beside them, the two faced each other from a distance like two stone statues.

"Prince Priest, it is no longer a day or two before the city's mysterious gems are about to run out, but the entire Dharma Hall ignores it, even going so far as to label those who seek the truth 20 years ago as traitors for the sake of keeping silent. The charge is to wash Cangliu City with blood. If you hadn't procrastinated until now and did nothing, how would today's incident happen?!"

Just now, after witnessing the destruction of his homeland, and the brief ecstasy of surviving, the surrounding Cangyu people began to become desperate and angry.Kunjie's accusation was even more loud, causing tens of thousands of burning eyes to focus on Feng Weishu in an instant.

"Don't listen to his nonsense! Today's changes are all carefully arranged by these rebels, so hurry up and take down this thief chieftain!"

The high priest shouted angrily and ordered.However, bewitched by Kunjie, even the most pious acolyte refused to listen to him at this time, and instead surrounded Feng Weishu layer by layer.

After all, the emotions that have been brewing and suppressed for a long time always need to find a reason to vent them out.The arch priest who was originally in charge of the safety of Cangliu City was now the most suitable object of interrogation.

"I didn't expect that Feng Weishu, who was so high in the past and was absolutely supported by the people of the tribe, would have today!"

The cheek cleft behind Kunjie's ears fluttered violently, and he quickly walked up to the other party who had become a prisoner, and whispered to one side, with a playful smile on his face:

"I know that you and the great priests of the past have been hiding the truth from the clansmen in order to drive them to a dead end and have to obey your orders. It is the same now. It's just that I am more ruthless than you. The nature is even more amazing!"

But the current conversation, except for the two people who are close at hand, the rest of the clan has no way of knowing.

"What exactly do you want to do!"

Feng Weishu roared, and was about to explode, but was held down by the two acolytes who rushed forward, and could no longer break free.

"Today, the old man Sui Ya finally breathed his last. Shouldn't I, as an apprentice, come back to celebrate? Back then, whether it was the practice of spells or the prestige in the city, I was not a hundred times better than you in any way? But he still refused to betroth the coral to me, and fell in love with you, a wild boy who came out of nowhere!"

Kunjie laughed wildly.However, from that laughter, one cannot hear the joy of getting revenge, but instead, there is endless sadness of lamenting the passing of time and bad luck.

"You know, the reason why Shizong chose me with mediocre qualifications was because I was much more obedient than you, and I obeyed any arrangement he made!"

"But the person she loved back then was obviously me, it was me!"

"If you really love her, you should share the worries of Shi Zong like me, instead of having a secret meeting with Shan Shan, which will not only ruin her reputation, but also lose face of Shi Zong, and eventually be kicked out of the Dharma hall. Misunderstanding yourself and others!"

Hearing the other party mention his wife, Feng Weishu's voice suddenly became a little hoarse.Ever since he joined Sui Ya's family, his love for this girl shining like a pearl in his heart is no less than that of Kun Jie.It's just that he rarely shows it in front of others.

"Hahahaha, you are more and more like that old guy! But now you are still defeated by me, and I am the final winner! Even though you married Shanhu back then, you couldn't give her happiness at all! She cried blindly Where were you when you had eyes? Where were you when I took her ashore a month ago!"

Kunjie seemed a little crazy.However, his questioning immediately made Feng Weishu stunned: "What are you talking about? How can you take the coral ashore without authorization?!"

"Shut up! I don't need you to ask me what to do!" Kun Jie shouted angrily.

Feng Weishu's eyes were full of grief and indignation: "Of course I want to ask! You know that Coral has suffered from a serious illness before, and her body can no longer adapt to Lu Huidan's strong medicinal properties. Going ashore rashly will kill her!"

"You—you nonsense! You say that just to make me feel uneasy! If the coral can't go ashore, why didn't she tell me herself, and why didn't she hesitate to leave with me? Because she knows that here Only I have the ability to bring her, our daughter a new life!"

Kunjie shook his head vigorously, as if he wanted to shake what the other party said out of his ears, but accidentally stabbed the priest in pain:
"Yue'er is my flesh and blood!"

Kun Jie suddenly remembered something, continued to stare at the other party viciously, and said with a smile: "Actually, you have some feelings in your heart, right? Shan Shan married you in a hurry, but it was because she was pregnant with my child!"

Feng Weishu's line of defense was completely defeated.The high priest, who has always been moody and angry, raised his neck like a raging killer whale and screamed at the sky:
"Just for revenge, you didn't hesitate to destroy Cangliu City and harm the coral. Isn't this result enough for you? Shizong really didn't misunderstand the person back then. Even after so many years, you are still Such madness! Haven't you ever thought that if you destroyed Cangliu City and the Dharma Hall with your own hands today, what will happen to your clansmen in the future!"

"How do I deal with myself? Cangliu City has been completely rotten by the Dharma Hall and you villains. Now that I have destroyed it, the clansmen who have nowhere to go will follow me to find the holy city without hesitation! There, I will Use the ultimate power left by the ancestors to return everything in the world to chaos, and rebuild a brand new home for the tribe on the ruins!"

"You—you are crazy! Haven't you seen from the book how terrifying the power of the ancestors hidden in the holy city is! If you do this, you will not only destroy everything in this world, but also kill us Everyone!"

Feng Weishu's expression gradually changed from powerlessness and anger to shock and fear.He looked at the laughing man in front of him, as if he was looking at a madman who had completely lost his mind.However, among the tens of thousands of people in front of Ganyuan, no one is willing to listen to what the former high priest said.Even if you hear it, you will never believe it again.
