Chapter 534: Nothing to Bury
I was obviously still chatting last night...
Seeing the sad Zhu Sheng, several people in the room were stunned and puzzled.
The patriarch is indeed old, his beard and hair are like snow, and his skin is withered, but he is still full of energy and has no intention of getting old, so how could he just leave as soon as he said it.
The point is that the last place the patriarch stayed yesterday was Luo's room.
Luo didn't think so much, but Bi Siji thought of this while being puzzled, and immediately observed Zhu Sheng's expression carefully, and felt a little relieved after finding nothing unusual.
After all, they are always outsiders, and the timing of the patriarch's death is quite sensitive, so the clansmen may suspect them, and this kind of thing has nothing to do with favor.
Fortunately, Bisiji couldn't find any possibility of doubting them from Zhusheng's performance, but he couldn't guarantee what other Zhusheng people would think.
With this scruple in mind, Bi Siji and Luo followed Zhusheng to the patriarch's house.
On the way forward, Luo frowned slightly, thinking about the conversation with the patriarch last night, and suddenly felt a little regretful and regretful.
He could feel the patriarch's worries and concerns about the future of the clan, and he obviously could make the clan's residence look brand new in a few days, but the clan leader could no longer see this scene.
When he read this, he thought of the bright stars at the bottom of the stone basin, and couldn't help but sigh.
In consideration of staying in the clan residence for a period of time, last night he only asked the patriarch a question, but did not take the opportunity to learn about the mysterious big man in East Fulishi. He did not expect such a thing to happen.
The clan residence is not big, and after walking for a while, we came to the patriarch's house.
At this time, people from all ethnic groups crowded around, like canned sardines in a subway car during rush hour.
Noticing the arrival of Luo and his party, they all looked over.
Bi Siji glanced at the clansmen standing around the house, only saw that there were several clansmen in the crowd with bruised noses and swollen faces, other than that, he found nothing unusual, so he was completely relieved.
Thinking about it, the clan members are pure and simple. From their point of view, if Luo is kind to them, it is absolutely impossible to harm the patriarch. Therefore, even if the patriarch left Luo's house last night and died without warning this morning, it will not cause any trouble. their suspicions.
The house was completely surrounded, and every member of the clan had a sad face, most of them had moist cheeks, and the entire narrow space was full of sadness.
The crowd made way for a passage, and people on both sides watched Luo and his party enter the house.
Inside the house, there were five older members of the Zhui clan standing there, who didn't respond when they saw Zhusheng leading Luo and the others in.
On the stone bed, there was only a charred human figure and a pile of black ash.
That's very abnormal.
Luo, Bi Siji, and Dongba stared blankly at the black ash on the bed, and they could deduce that they were burned to death with just one glance, but...
Looking at the other six clansmen in the room, including Zhusheng, none of them expressed any abnormality to this scene. That is to say, is this the normal death of clansmen?
As if aware of the doubts of outsiders, Zhusheng explained in a low tone: "The patriarch is dying. When the life limit of our people is approaching, the weak heart fire will burst out the last energy and burn any corner of the body."
He only explained the phenomenon that seemed contrary to outsiders, but did not go any further to explain it.
After the clans migrated from the center of the earth, they lost the shelter of the terrain and the supply of flint. On the road to survival, they would starve to death, die of exhaustion, and die in battle, but they rarely died.
The patriarch died at the end of his life. In fact, everyone in the clan knew the bottom line, but they didn't know when that day would come, and it turned out to be today.
When the patriarch woke up a few days earlier yesterday, some of the clan members made a few jokes, who would have thought it would come true, so those guys were surrounded by everyone and beat them up.
I see.
Bisji thought silently, no wonder the tribe-by-clan people didn't point their arrows at them.
"I express regret."
Luo didn't think as much as Si Ji, he looked at the crowd and said so in common language.
Despite the language barrier, everyone in the room seemed to understand.
Bruna stretched out her tentacles to establish a communication channel for Luo and Zhusheng.
According to Zhusheng, they immediately scattered the black ash left by the patriarch's death around.
Hearing what Zhusheng and the others were going to do next, Luo was surprised and stopped their actions.
Clan-by-clan has no burial culture, and if they die in an accident while hunting, the corpse will be abandoned in the underground world, and those who die will be scattered with the wind.
It is conceivable that if the end of life is not turned into ashes after death, then the clansmen may really throw the corpse outside to fulfill the principle called return. In fact, there is another benefit in doing so, that is, to free up space in the residence.
There is no place to bury after death, isn't it a true portrayal of clans in the underground world?
Under the doubtful gaze of the Zhuzu people, Luo took down a piece of stone and cut it with Allah in front of them.
After a few knives, Luo felt that the Allah's blade was too long and it was inconvenient to use, so he used his hands instead, but the hardness of the grain stone was too terrible, and even if the domain was compressed, he could not cut the grain stone freely.
Use a very slow speed to carve the grain stone a little bit.
What Luo has to do is to make an urn for the patriarch. Although the efficiency is relatively poor, outsiders can see it as a show of care.
In about half an hour, Luo made an exquisite-looking urn, and asked Zhusheng to put the black ashes left by the patriarch after his death into the stone box.
At first, the clansmen were reluctant to do that, but in the end it was Lot who expanded their residence for them, which convinced them.
There is no lively funeral, only everyone bids farewell silently from the bottom of their hearts.
Later, Luo began to expand the settlements for the tribesmen. What he had to do was very simple, that is, to take a piece of stone from Allah, and the cut stone would not be thrown away directly, but could be used to make furniture and other things .
The clan-by-clan people didn't forget the grief of the patriarch's death, but kept it deep in their hearts. They watched Luo Dawei show off his power, and they made uproars from time to time.
All because, what Luo is doing at this moment is really unbelievable to them.
The grain stone, which could not be chewed alive, looked so fragile in front of Luo.
The stones were chipped off one by one, and the clansmen didn't have time to watch. Under Bisiji's command, following Luo's wishes, they sorted and put away the stones of different sizes.
Every clansman may not have thought that from this moment onwards, their residence will undergo a complete change.
There are large stones, and some scraps will be cut off.
When Luo was expanding his residence, his head kept turning.
He felt that the hardness of the grain stone was very strong, and it might have many uses.
For example, small leftovers can be carved into small marbles or thorns, supplemented by the effect of the release system, which will have a good effect on killing enemies. Usually, it only needs to be hidden in the black cat space, and it can be summoned when needed.
Moreover, you can also use the Surprise Box to fuse toxins and tattoo stones.
Even, you can create a mahjong set!
