Chapter 287 You are the elder
In the evening, twelve hours have passed since Luoxia Plan.
"Be careful, keep it steady!"
The area around Laoye Temple on the shore of Poyang Lake is extremely lively. The dense crowd of human-type soldiers and wild demons of the turtle tribes are busy carrying a huge imperial house tree along the mountain road. Because the mountain road is not flat, the people carrying the tree look extremely clumsy.
After everyone finally lifted the imperial house tree to the lake, they pointed the huge red fruit into the direction of the lake, and then knocked the fruit down, and white water splashed out from the fruits.
Peiruo, Tabu, Xilang, Navi and more than a dozen remaining human-type soldiers stood by the lake, with mixed expressions of joy and sorrow.
Xilang pointed to the water channel that was sprayed out of the fruit: "Look, two elders, this is the third imperial house tree we pulled out. Each fruit can release a lot of water. As long as we find all the ninety imperial house trees left around Poyang Lake to remove the fruit, our lake water can be restored to at least half of the previous height."
Peiruo looked at the fruit and said with interest: "Although the fruit of this imperial house tree is big, I don't know how to accommodate so much water. It really opened my eyes to the old man."
"So, this world is very interesting. The two tribes have been staying under this lake for many years, which is really a waste of time." Xilang said proudly, and then ordered Navi, "Okay, let's go find the next imperial house tree."
"Hehe, young men, don't be anxious." Tabu stepped forward and patted Xilang's shoulder, and said leisurely, "It's getting late at this time, so it doesn't matter to us two old guys. However, the soldiers worked hard for a day and a night and were already exhausted. It would be too late to let everyone rest for a night. It would be too late to search for it tomorrow. Anyway, we have time. Even if we get three or five trees a day, it won't take many days to complete it." Then he turned to Peiruo, "What do you think? Old guy."
Peiruo nodded and said, "Anyway, I'm used to not making decisions, so I'll just listen to you."
The water of Poyang Lake had not been drained, and it rose a little more at this time. The width and depth were enough for all the tribe members to rest. Xilang himself was also exhausted. He was not polite, so he sighed and said, "Okay, then let's bury the fallen soldiers first."
So, amid the solemn expressions of the crowd, a group of wild monsters began to carry the bodies of the fallen soldiers and sent them back to the lake one by one.
When moving Marsha's body, Peiruo suddenly couldn't help but stop the wild demon's footsteps, and she burst into tears and murmured to the body: "Madam, Madam... Although I really don't know how many times when you were alive, I cursed you in my heart to go away as soon as possible and don't control me anymore, but... But, I will never hear your voice again... How lonely will I be..."
Xilang also said sadly: "Although my grandmother is not my biological mother, she does treat me and all the young people like her biological son. She loves us too much, for fear that if we are not careful, we will make mistakes in the world because of mischief. How I hope to convince her and tell her that we will take good care of ourselves and let her learn to let go, but unexpectedly, she let go in this way..."
"Goodbye, madam, you should be reincarnated earlier, don't wait for me... Anyway, I will not marry you again in the next life..." As he said that, Pei Ruo was crying, covered his face and turned his head, and used gestures to greet the wild demon to send Marsha's body back to the lake.
When carrying Getigue's body, Tabu also stopped the wild demon's footsteps, bowed solemnly to Getigue, remained silent for a while, and then said to Xilang: "Xilang, in the future, the position of General will be handed over to you. You must practice diligently and strive to surpass Getigue as soon as possible!"
"Elder Tabu, are you kidding?" Xilang waved his hand in panic, "How can I be the general of your turtle clan?"
Tabu said earnestly: "Where are the turtle clans? Today's battle has reduced the population of our two tribes by half. If we divide each other again, the survival of the race may be difficult to sustain. Alas, this catastrophe has also made me understand how important unity is. As long as we always exist as two tribes, even if there is nothing wrong with this generation and nothing wrong with the next generation, hundreds of years may be opposed again for some inexplicable reasons. So, I will be the leader today. In the future, there will only be one general in Poyang Lake to command the tribesmen of both sides. I deliberately chose your turtle clans to take on this important task, which shows that I made this choice for public priests!" After saying that, he said to Peiruo, "Old man, what do you think of my proposal?"
Pei Ruo responded absent-mindedly: "Elder Tabu has the final say."
Tabu smiled slightly and said, "I really can't decide this matter alone. I know that in your celestial clan, the one who gave the order in the past was your wife, but here I gave this honor to the general. This choice may undermine us old people. Don't always immerse yourself in the shadow of the past. Now you are the decision-maker of the celestial clan, just show me masculinely."
Pei Ruo then responded: "Not to mention the position of the general, what's wrong with giving the position of the elder to young people? In today's battle, you and I did not play any role. From the moment my curse was lifted, I figured it out. These young people are knowledgeable, energetic, brave and resourceful. It's time to completely hand over the fate of Poyang Lake to them, right?"
Xilang became even more frightened when he heard this: "Elder Peiruo, what you said is too exaggerated? I can consider the position of the general, but the position of the elder is determined by the ancestors, and this is only a person with high virtue and respectability!"
Unexpectedly, on this issue, Tabu also stood on Peiruo's side and said even more happily: "Hey, Peiruo, you really said what I want to say. If you want me to say, I am willing to give up the position of the elder. Oh, I am ashamed to say that we two old guys only realized that the twelve hours said was fabricated. It seems that what our ancestors said may not be so correct. Moreover, after living in Poyang Lake for hundreds of years, today I realized that the vortex was born from the aura of killing, and your croons also hated Chen Youliang... Haha, it's blocked, ignorant! We have been bored at the bottom of the lake for most of our lives. While we are still walking, it's time to go out for a trip and see this vast world..." After saying that, he turned to Xilang and said, "Xilang, if you don't break it, you will not be able to establish. In the future, you will be the elders of the two tribes!"
"But, but, I have to ask the other soldiers for their opinions!" Xilang was even more frightened and asked for help everywhere, "Brothers and sisters, please persuade the two elders!"
Unexpectedly, many human-type soldiers did not agree with this proposal. Instead, a male soldier smiled sincerely and said, "Xilang, if you hadn't blocked the tree demon outside the door, if you hadn't come up with the tactic of flooding Chongshi City, we would have been completely wiped out in this battle. I see, if you take this position as the elder, we will all be convinced!"
Someone echoed again: "Yes, yes, Xilang, don't let the good intentions of the two elders down!"
Even Navi advised: "Xilang, I agree with their point of view. Now Madame Marschat and General Getig are no longer there, and the two elders plan to enjoy the peace and prosperity. Our two tribes are at the intersection of fate. Someone must come to rule the two tribes. You should be respectful and obey your orders."
Xilang showed a bitter face and quickly passed on his target and said, "I want to talk about the plan to flood Chongshi City, but what Navi thought of, I can't escape, and you can't escape!"
Navi said innocently: "But you got rid of the crying owl first and saved me. You were the first to break a giant tree diagonally and inspire me, so that I can be the following text." After that, he smiled and said: "Besides, who said I want to run away? No matter what your identity is in the future, I will be your good friend."
Xilang still stubbornly said: "But, but..."
"Haha." Tabu chuckled, "Xilang, I know what you are worried about. You are thinking, if you become the elder of the two tribes and are plagued by official duties, you will not have the time to take your beloved Navi to see this world, right? Don't worry, we have been struggling for a while and will be stable in the future. How can so many troubles make you worry about?"
"Xilang, before General Gertig's bones were cold, you should carry this banner in front of him! Don't forget that when he was dying, he held our hands together with a smile! Do you still understand the general's intention?" Navi said, gently pulling Xilang's hand.
"Oh, okay, okay, then I have to respect myself rather than obey." After Xilang said that, he held Navi's hand tightly and bowed to Gertig's body together.
Chapter completed!
