C1243 Centennial rites(part i)
It had to be said that the Condor was still a little too inexperienced compared to this old bone grindstone guy, Ye Qian.
The Condor's current thought was very simple, it was just grabbing the beast and bringing it back to study it. But Ye Qian's goal was not just that, he did not really care about that so called monster. On this trip to Taiping Mountain, what Ye Qian really cared about was where Beiming Lun and that malicious laboratory was located.
Only by destroying Beiming Lun's laboratory could this so-called biological crisis truly end.
Although Ye Qian was not someone from the Mortal Realm, he still had a good impression of humans. At the very least, Ye Qian's body was now that of a human, especially the Eastern Humans, which made Ye Qian feel some bloodline feelings towards them. Therefore, Ye Qian would never allow Beiming Lun to kill the people of the East without permission.
Of course, after receiving Qin Chuan's call, Ye Qian had already used his divine sense to scan the entire Taiping Mountains, but he did not find Beiming Lun and his laboratory near the Taiping Mountains.
It was very obvious that the evil experimental bases of Beiming Lun and his subordinates were not close to the Taiping Mountains.
Even though the vast Southern River was covered with Ye Qian's Boundless Divine Sense, it would still be as difficult as searching for a needle in a haystack if there was no clue as to how to find Beiming Lun.
That was why Ye Qian wanted to use this monster that appeared in the Taiping Mountains to lure the snake out of its cave with a single move so that the monster could lead him to Beiming Lun and find the location of the experiment lab.
At that moment, only by completely destroying the experimental base would they be able to do the evil deed of destroying Beiming Lun and the others in the east.
It had to be said that Ye Qian's choice was correct. Of course, only Ye Qian would dare to do this, and he had the ability to do so.
At this very moment, the dark Taiping Mountains was continuously emitting a hazy glow. The moonlight spilled over the entire mountain range and some of the wild beasts within the mountain range roared continuously in the darkness, letting out low, angry roars. Everything within the mountain range seemed abnormally calm, so calm that it was terrifying.
At the same time, at the foot of the Taiping Mountain, bursts of lights lit up the area.
The villagers of Death Village spontaneously formed into seven to eight squads, all of them holding sticks in their hands and holding torches as they wandered around the foot of the mountain.
At this moment, the Taiping Mountain seemed to have been surrounded by so many villagers that even water couldn't flow through.
Almost all the entrances to the mountain within the Taiping Mountain were controlled by someone, and they seemed to be in an orderly and strict manner.
At the entrance of the Death Village, Zhang San's figure was running like a nimble and vigorous kitten, until he arrived beside Patriarch Zhang Laixi.
At the moment, Zhang San was gasping for breath, but before he had the chance to speak, Zhang Laixi immediately asked: "Zhang San, how is it, have you found the two outsiders?"
Zhang San took huge breaths, calming his mind down. He shook his head and said, "Patriarch, we couldn't find them. A few squads have completely controlled the entrance to the upper and lower mountains, but we didn't find any trace of them. "Maybe, maybe they haven't left the mountain yet!"
"He didn't go down the mountain?" Zhang Laixi immediately hissed and sucked in a breath of cold air: "How is that possible?"
As he spoke, Zhang Laixi gazed at this Taiping Mountains. "It is already late at night, and the Taiping Mountain is completely silent. Only birds and beasts can fly, so how could those two foreigners not go down the mountain?"
"But Chief, the patrolling villagers didn't find any trace of the two of them."
With a helpless expression, Zhang San continued, "Patriarch, should we withdraw our patrol? After all, the night has already fallen and everyone has been busy all afternoon. We should let them rest!"
Zhang San's words made sense.
But in regards to Zhang San's request, Zhang Laixi actually let out a soft hiss, and then said: "No, we can't let them return yet. He wanted them to keep an eye on the entrance of the Taiping Mountain, and must find the two outsiders. High Priest has already said that they barged into our Death Village's forbidden grounds. They might disturb the peace of our Death Village's ancestors, so these two people cannot be let off! "
Pausing for a moment, Zhang Laixi continued: "Furthermore, tomorrow night is our Death Village, this is the most important matter in the entire village, we must not have any mistakes!"
As he said that, Zhang Laixi gazed at Zhang San: "Zhang San, you must make another trip and inform those youngsters that they must work harder today. Even if you take turns to watch the night, you must still guard the exit of Taiping Mountain."
Seeing how determined Zhang Laixi's words were, Zhang San was a little confused: "Clan leader, is, is there a need? I think those two are just here to take a walk, and furthermore, how much trouble can those two youngsters cause? "
Hearing Zhang San say that, Zhang Laixi's face suddenly became gloomy: "Zhang San, you should know how important the Centennial Rites of our Death Village is. This is related to whether or not our village will be able to get through the next hundred years of peace and prosperity. Do you remember three hundred years ago, because of the destruction caused by the Centennial Rites of an outsider, what serious consequences occurred after that? "
Seeing Zhang Laixi's serious face, Zhang San was terrified.
A mortal like Zhang San naturally did not know about what had happened three hundred years ago, but in a village as large as this, with generations of ancestors talking about it, Zhang San also remembered the terrifying plague that had suddenly occurred.
It was because of the obstruction of the Centennial Rites that the Death Village from three hundred years ago welcomed a terrifying plague. After the plague passed, almost none of the villagers remained. And the villagers of Death Village today were all descendants of the survivors, so there was still some blood ties between them.0
Startled, he let out a long sigh. Zhang San helplessly nodded and said, "Yes, Patriarch. I will go and notify them at the foot of the Taiping Mountain right now!"
After saying that, Zhang San dragged his tired footsteps once more as he walked toward the Taiping Mountain.
Zhang Laixi, on the other hand, looked at the bright candles in the distance and sighed in his heart.
"Sigh, tomorrow will be the hundred year memorial service. For the past thousand years, there haven't been any problems with the hundred year memorial service. Now that the entire village has been handed over to me, I cannot let even the slightest mistake happen to this memorial service! "
As he said that, Zhang Laixi turned around and returned to the village.
The entire Death Village wasn't really that big, just a few tens of families. Moreover, this remote village wasn't very developed, at least it didn't have electricity.
Stepping into the darkness, Zhang Laixi walked forward. He was very familiar with this road, after all, he had walked this road for decades.
Along the way, Zhang Laixi's footsteps did not stop at all, but instead, directly headed towards his own home.
Standing at the entrance of his own courtyard, Zhang Laixi's face began to grow lonely. After hesitating for a few times, he still didn't dare to enter his house.
At the moment, Zhang Laixi's eyes were shining with tears, there was helplessness, reluctance, unwillingness, and even some unfathomable emotions, he continued to mutter under his breath: "Er Ni’er, Er Ni’er, Daddy has let you down, Daddy has let you!"
