Chapter 547
The Dragon People were silent for a long time, and the cave was dead silent.
Vines wound, blood fruits hung, like blood beads about to drip; the temptation of the bloodline had completely dissipated, and only chills were felt.
Eating people.
Eating their own people.
Long Zong Yin took two steps, picked up the flat shovel leaning in the corner of the rock wall, and came to the three soil mounds to dig soil.
A dignified Hunting Tiger Great Martial Master, just like an ordinary farmer, stepped on the shovel head and pressed the long pole to turn the soil.
One shovel, one lift.
Long Binglin suddenly discovered that the three soil mounds in front of him were not located in the center of the entire cave, but to the right.
The flat shovel didn't stop, and the thick dragon spine soil piled up into low ridges.
Bubbles buried in the mud crevices floated up quietly, attached to the rock on the top wall, gathered, merged, and flashed silver light.
Long Zong Yin said while digging: "The pit next to Jinkui is reserved for me; I've known him since I was a child, a reckless person who would secretly go ashore every three days to meet human women.
If he had no money, he would borrow from me, and he never paid it back; the key is that he went ashore and found a woman from an ordinary farmer's family.
She was beautiful, but she had no martial arts talent, her foundation was poor, she ate a lot of treasure fish, practiced for two or three years, barely four passes, the first boy born almost died of dystocia, fortunately, the Dragon Lord used divine ability to save his life.
Now it's good, the person is gone, my debt can't be collected, and we'll be buried together in the future, which is convenient for me to go down and ask him for the debt! It's just that I'm old and haven't entered Jiang Zongshi, although my bloodline is not low, whether it can be planted, I don't know.
The pit next to Commander Ao is the Great Elder's; two Heavenly Person Grandmasters are next to each other, maybe they can bear two more good fruits, reduce some loss, and provide the tribe with two more Hunting Tigers who can consume qi.
This last one is the Second Elder's; there is no special reason, Yuanjing is the Second Elder's husband, and they didn't divorce, even if they died for decades, they should be buried together."
Hearing Long Zong Yin's chanting, the Great Elder and Second Elder stood silently.
The four were all speechless.
Looking at the blood fruit again, the chills gradually faded.
If not at the end of the road...
Long Eying couldn't bear to persuade: "Third Elder, there's no need for this; the few Great Commanders buried... have no resentment, and their spirits in heaven must understand."
A centipede dies but doesn't fall, dies but doesn't stiffen.
The power of a Jiang Zongshi's divine sense is so great that even if the physical body perishes, residual thoughts will remain in the world.
The physical body was treated like this, and it should have derived extreme evil thoughts, continuous, but the four of them had been in for a long time without any discomfort.
The Great Elder said: "Eying, Binglin, today Yanyui is not here; planting fruits with flesh and blood is not benevolent or kind. This secret was originally known only to the three of us old guys, and we planned to tell you after the three of us returned to truth.
But today, with Master Liang, the existence of blood fruit is irrelevant. Master Liang has needs, so we should help with all our strength; the effect of blood fruit, used as a shield, is perfect."
Purifying dragon blood is a means of changing constitution.
Ordinary martial bones may be useless.
Dragon Tendons and Tiger Bones, just happen to be related, bloodline stimulation, regeneration of anomalies, reasonable and pleasant.
"But, will it be bad for the Elder's reputation? And Master Liang accepting our blood fruit on the surface, is it inappropriate?"
Long Eying hesitated.
Using the bodies of the tribe to cultivate blood fruit, if it gets out, it's not just a matter of whether it sounds good or not.
Can it be accepted rationally, can it be accepted emotionally?
There are many Dragon People outside who are descendants of the three Grandmasters, and for Master Liang himself, accepting the blood fruit produced by the bodies of Dragon People also carries the risk of bearing a bad name.
"This..."
The three elders looked at each other.
They are not afraid of their own image being damaged.
When they didn't announce the funeral and buried the three Dragon People Grandmasters in the dragon spine soil, they had thought about the various evil consequences of taking them out later.
But this is indeed unfavorable to Master Liang; how will ordinary tribesmen view it after they know?
Long Binglin knelt on one knee: "Elder, why not change the reason for the birth of the blood fruit?"
"How to change?"
The three Grandmasters were seriously injured and dying, and they were willing to do so after being brought back by the Elder?"
"No." Long Zong Yin vetoed, "Since it involves the handling of the three Grandmasters, our sins cannot be covered up; if the truth is revealed in the future, it will only make things worse! Cannot distort."
The Elder refused to accept, so the few had to find another way.
"What if we say it was cultivated with other dragon species?"
"Other dragon species Grandmasters are few and far between, and all have traces to follow."
The seven discussed for a long time, piecing together the complete context of the whole event.
"Then... let it be so."
The Dragon Lord was injured before his death, blood spilled into the earth, leaving a piece of red soil; when the tribe was at the end of the road, the three elders thought of the soil, worked hard to cultivate, and used the treasure plant to successfully extract the dragon blood essence.
To the tribe, taking Master Liang's contribution as a lead, they got to know each other, knew his identity was extraordinary, and he had Dragon Tendons and Tiger Bones, so the Great Elder specially gave a Dragon Blood Fruit to seek a way out for the Dragon People tribe to go ashore.
After the discussion.
Look at the Dragon Blood Fruit again.
"Is there a need to keep it?" The Second Elder asked.
"Keep it for now." The Great Elder said, "In the future, if Master Liang has needs, we can at least take out the real thing."
Everyone had no objections.
Checked the confession, confirmed it was correct.
Before leaving.
Long Binglin stopped the three elders and whispered under the Great King Lotus leaf.
Shortly after.
The Great Elder took a few steps, walked under another lotus leaf, and waved: "Eying, come here."
The grandfather and granddaughter chatted alone.
"Grandfather."
"Eying, how old are you this year?"
"Thirty-two..."
"Thirty-something, a big girl now; many fourth and fifth-generation Dragon Girls, whose lifespan is not as long as ours, are already married and have children..."
"Grandfather, what do you want to say?"
"What do you think of Master Liang?"
Long Eying turned her head.
Long Binglin looked up at the sky.
"Yu yu yu... the weather is really good this year, Third Elder, how is the harvest of the Great King Lotus in August?"
"Compared to the year before last, it's a bumper harvest year."
"Good, a bumper harvest year is good; no matter how many little Dragon People are born, we are not afraid of being hungry."
Second Elder, Third Elder: "..."
"It's okay, don't worry about him; I won't let you marry, the most beautiful girl in our tribe, even if Master Liang wants to marry, grandfather has to be willing."
The Great Elder raised his hand and brushed the hair on Long Eying's forehead. "In the past, the situation in the tribe was like this; maybe I talked too much at home, making you sensible and hardworking since you were young, never having thoughts about men and women, and even having few friends.
Jin Na and the others called you to pick lotus, you said you wanted to practice at home, called you to catch fish, you said you wanted to read at home; over time, no one called you anymore, I saw all of this.
Since Binglin mentioned it, from now on, you can live more easily and freely, be yourself, don't put such a heavy burden on yourself.
The future of the tribe has a destination, I will help you bear other things, even if you don't want to be a guardian, grandfather won't have two words."
"I know, grandfather." Long Eying paused and added, "Fourth Elder... is a good person."
The Great Elder smiled lightly.
"Go find Elder Long Zong Yin later, send the August lotus seed share to Master Liang, Second Elder made two sets of new clothes for you, remember to get them."
"Good."
