There were about fifty families in the courtyard at the back door of the Patriarch's Mansion. Soon, at Qi Wei's request, three or four people lined up in a long queue.
And everyone seemed to be entering a secret room. The secret room was very large and could accommodate hundreds of people. At the door of the room, Qi Cha took out the wine he had prepared. Yes, it was wine, and it was the same Lansheng wine as the day of the adult ceremony.
"Children, you will be adults in one month. Today, I have called you to prepare in advance. This is Lansheng wine. Before everyone goes in, you will have a bowl each." Seeing everyone lining up in an orderly manner, they all Cha spoke up.
The young people who heard this did not have doubts, but instead felt a sense of pride in becoming adults. In this way, everyone entered the secret room in an orderly manner.
After entering the secret room, Yang Yu's first feeling was that the secret room smelled very good, and the second thing was that the secret room was very big. It's a bit strange that the secret room is big, because it is a secret room, so it is even more strange that the secret room smells good.
Under Yang Yu's careful observation, he could see that in the four corners of the secret room, there was a kind of incense burning. This fragrance was the first time Yang Yu smelled it. The first feeling it gave Yang Yu was that it was special. Like it, Yang Yu is also very curious, because he has never particularly liked a certain smell before.
After everyone had sat down, Qi Zhen walked to the front of the secret room.
"Children, I won't say who I am, and the meeting organized today is very important. I will get your specific answers in a moment. I ask you to answer any questions I ask." Qi Zhen's voice was not loud, but Everyone can hear clearly.
The adults in the room did not speak, but looked at their children with concern.
"Okay Chief, we get it."
"Yes, Patriarch, we can say whatever we know," the room quickly became lively as the first child answered.
"Children, what will it be like in another month?" Qi Zhen said with a hint of sadness.
"It's a coming-of-age ceremony"
"Yes, it's a coming-of-age ceremony."
"There is also a blood moon." Of course, only Yang Yu could hear this sentence.
"Yes, today next month is the coming-of-age ceremony, and today next month is also the blood moon." The sadness in Qi Zhen's words was even more obvious.
"Yes, yes, there is also a blood moon. It is really a strange and beautiful day!" The children in the room also agreed one after another.
"Children, the blood moon is beautiful, and it is dangerous. It is also fatal." Finally, Qi Zhen said something they did not expect.
The children, who had experienced the blood moon for seventeen years, could not understand what Qi Zhen meant and could only look at each other with doubts on their faces.
Qi Zhen adjusted his state and then hinted to the elders around him. The elders also understood it tacitly. Soon, waves of gentle spiritual power spread throughout the room, and the incense in the room made the children who were originally confused and uneasy feel much calmer.
Seeing that the children in the room had calmed down, Qi Zhen moistened his throat and told Yang Yu everything about the blood moon to the young people present.
The truth about Blood Moon was so cruel. What was even more cruel was that Qi Zhen told them about it. The cruelest thing was that it was related to them.
The children who knew the truth were almost crazy. Some shouted loudly and complained about the injustice of their fate; some hugged their parents tightly and vented their unbearable pain; He seemed to have lost his mind, just staring at the air blankly.
All the children's performances were caught in Qi Zhen's eyes. He knew that this matter was very acceptable. He probably also knew that after living a healthy life for seventeen years, before becoming an adult, someone told you, You're going to die in a month, and you're going to die on the day you come of age.
No matter who is involved, no matter who hears this, they cannot accept it. When Yang Yu heard this, she didn't cry or complain, she just hugged her parents gently.
Qi Zhen did not try to contain their emotions, but continued to release spiritual power to ease their moods. Gradually, the crying in the room quieted down, maybe because they were tired from crying, or more likely because Qi Zhen's relief had an effect on them.
"Children, I know it is difficult for you to accept, but this is the fact. I am telling you now so that you can accept it earlier. Now you have two choices in front of you." Originally, Qi Zhen wanted to continue talking, but after seeing Seeing that the children were really in a very low mood, they stopped talking about the specific content of their choices.
"Clan leader, what are your choices?" It was Yang Yu who spoke. He already knew about Blood Moon, but he didn't know about the choices Qi Zhen said. On the contrary, he was still a little curious.
Hearing Yang Yu's words, the sad parents also knew the purpose of their trip, and began to mediate the mood of their children. Soon, the sad children also raised their heads with hope.
Seeing everyone looking at him with hope, Qi Zhen shook his head slightly and said: "I don't have the ability to save you, and this choice cannot completely change your destiny.
There is still one month left before the Blood Moon. Let me tell you that in the center of Tianyue Continent, there is a place called Wasted City. It accommodates adults from any realm. You can stay in Wasted City for two years.
Of course, within the abandoned city, the blood moon cannot harm you, but the abandoned city will not provide any help in cultivation, and you have to rely on yourself for everything.
You can avoid two blood moons in the abandoned city. Similarly, when you go in, you will come out two years later. Therefore, a few days after leaving the abandoned city, if you still cannot break through to the fifth-level spiritual master, You still can't escape the harvest of the blood moon." Qi Zhen was afraid that everyone would not be able to accept it, so he only said this much for the time being.
After a long time.
"Clan leader, what's the second option?" The speaker was still Yang Yu.
Seeing Yang Yu speaking, Qi Zhen sighed silently and said: "The first option is that you can choose to go to the abandoned city. You can be sheltered there for two years, but if you cannot break through after two years, you will still die. "The second option is to stay at Qijia and spend this only one month quietly with parents, relatives and friends." After Qi Zhen said this, it was obvious that they had already stated their future choices.
It was a long time again, and this time it was not Yang Yu who spoke, "Chief, can we stay with our relatives for a few more days, and go to the abandoned city in the last few days?" This child's words were obviously recognized by everyone, and for a while, the room was full of people. They were all echoing voices.
"Children, I understand how you feel, but I tell you clearly, no." Qi Zhen said with a heavy face.
"Why"
"Why, patriarch, just give us a few more days." When one child finished speaking, cries and begging filled the room again, which probably meant the same thing.
"Listen to me, it's not that the clan leader doesn't want you to stay a few more days, it's just that our Wangxiang Town is really far away from the abandoned city. According to the clan's strength and possible changes along the way, one month is already the longest we can stay. It’s for you,” Qi Zhen explained slowly.
"So now, I need you to give me an answer. Should I leave? Should I stay? Once you decide, you cannot regret it," Qi Zhen said seriously.
As the patriarch, Qi Zhen naturally has his own dignity. After his words this time, the children no longer cried for the patriarch, but began to communicate with their parents sadly.
"Yang Yu, listen to me, go to the abandoned city. I believe you can break through in two years." As she spoke, the woman couldn't help crying again.
"Yang Yu, it's all because dad puts too much pressure on you. Just go to the abandoned city and try your best to survive." As he spoke, Qi Fan's tears welled up in his heart, but he forced them down. .
"Dad, Mom, I know how capable I am. I don't want to fight fearlessly anymore. I want to be with you in the last month," Yang Yu said while hugging her parents.
Yang Yu is very clear about all this. He knows that going to Abandoned City can indeed lead to breakthroughs for some people, but for him, his cultivation in the past two years has not improved at all. He does not believe that going to Abandoned City can help him achieve breakthroughs. Change this physique that cannot be changed even by summoning spirits.
Yang Yu also knew that this choice might also mean separation from his parents. Wangxiang Town is so far away from the abandoned city. They must be accompanied by elders when they go to Wangxiang Town, but the elders will not take these parents there.
First of all, this journey is far away and unsafe, and the clan will not send so many people to protect them; secondly, Yang Yu and the others are just minors from the Qi family, and the clan will not specially come to let their parents come to see them. They; Finally, the blood moon is the first taboo, and sending so many elders out will definitely attract the attention of the people in the clan.
To sum up, Yang Yu knows that if he chooses to go to Abandoned City, and he cannot break through to a fifth-level spiritual master in two years, then after leaving Abandoned City, he will die in a foreign country before he can return to Wangxiang Town. . In this case, he wouldn't even have enough time to spend with his parents for a month, so now, Yang Yu actually had differences with his parents.
