Chapter 1236 (1/2)
It's strange that the village itself is so backward that it makes people feel so backward. Moreover, the appearance of the patriarch seems to be in awe of the owner of the manor. It also makes people wonder what kind of people live in the manor.
Of course, the so-called high priest in the head's mouth must not be an ordinary person. We can know from the hidden array in his manor and the sudden light from the sky that takes away the patriarch.
However, no one knows that this manor has existed in the village of the dead for hundreds of years, even before it was formed.
The vast manor is quiet and elegant, with the fragrance of birds and flowers everywhere. It is out of place with the dilapidated village outside the manor.
At the moment, in the second courtyard of the manor, there is a beautiful flower hall. In the flower hall, the old man in white is sitting on the futon to taste tea, while the patriarch beside him kneels respectfully on the ground, as if he did not dare to look up at the people in front of him.
The old man in White said after a long silence: ”if I remember well, you should be Zhang Fugui's grandson, called Zhang Laixi!”
The old man spoke leisurely, his voice was like the sounds of nature, but his words seemed to be filled with feelings of vicissitudes in the world.
The patriarch quickly kowtowed and said, ”go back to the high priest, I am Zhang Laixi. The current patriarch of the dead village
The old man laughed, looked up and down at Zhang Laixi, and said to himself, ”it's really time flies. Time flies. I didn't expect that you have become the patriarch in a flash of time. I still remember your grandfather's appearance when he was young. At that time, the village of dead people didn't seem to be called the village of dead people. I didn't expect that all these years had passed in the blink of an eye! ”
The old man in white has a sense of immortality in his speech and manner.
But listening to the old man's words, Zhang Laixi did not dare to say more than half a sentence, just desperately nodded.
In Zhang Laixi's opinion, although the high priest in front of him is not a member of his family, he is an old immortal who has lived for unknown years. He looked like this when his grandfather was young, and so did his grandfather when he was young. It seems that years can't leave any trace on his face.
Seeing Zhang Laixi's respectful and only if appearance, the old man didn't have any expression and attitude. He just said, ”Hi, I remember that you have never seen me since you became the patriarch for so many years. What is the so-called matter that you come to see me so rashly today?”
Zhang Laixi said in a hurry: ”to be honest with the high priest, there are indeed some things to ask the high priest today. First of all, the Centennial memorial ceremony in our village of dead people is about to begin, so please come forward and preside over it
”The Centennial ceremony, oh, if you don't say I've forgotten, it's a hundred years later. This is the seventh time that I have presided over the ceremony of your village. ”
Sighing, the high priest waved his finger and said, ”well, well, on the day of the sacrifice, I will naturally appear and help you to preside over the ceremony.”
”Thank you, high priest.”
While thanking and kowtowing, Zhang Laixi said again, ”high priest, I have one more thing to ask the high priest to make decisions?”
Without waiting for Zhang Laixi to express his intention, the high priest said directly, ”do you mean the two young men who broke into the mountains?”
