The sea return ceremony in Crescent Town is actually not much different from the ordinary sea burial ceremony. The only big difference is the handling of the sorrow and music.
After the ashes accompanied by flowers are scattered into the sea, the family members of the bereaved, those closest to the bereaved, will play a special local conch flute to bid farewell to the bereaved.
However, in today's Crescent Town, this tradition has been abandoned by more and more young people, or it has been directly handed over to the town's professional team to handle.
after all.
The specially made conch flute is not easy to control. The sound it plays is a test of the player's skills. In addition, we are in a fast-paced era. Therefore, few young people are willing to study this kind of music. Ancient skills passed down.
Ms. Qin is not a very traditional person, but under the guidance of her elders, she learned the conch flute for a period of time.
When people get older, it is especially easy to care about things that they have ignored before. A few years ago, Ms. Qin took Qin Kaicheng and started learning how to play the conch flute again. She wanted to be able to play the conch flute by herself after her death. His precious son bid farewell to him in person in this way that has been passed down from generation to generation.
But it backfired.
This time, it was Ms. Qin who was supposed to play the conch flute to bid farewell to her relatives.
…
Qin Kaicheng's return ceremony was held in the afternoon.
A lot of people gathered on the pier, some of them were residents of the town, and some of them came from other places after watching Chen Mo's live broadcast and knowing the story of Qin Kaicheng, Yu Heguang and his group.
With the sound of the whistle, and with countless people watching, the ships slowly sailed towards the sea.
According to the plan, the ship will sail 32 nautical miles on the sea to a sea area east of Crescent Town, where there is an endless sea horizon. It is also a place where the ancestors of Crescent Town often fished.
Those who live by the sea will eventually return to the sea.
"Although I can understand the thoughts of those ancestors, 32 nautical miles is too far. It would be nice if we could be closer to Crescent Town."
As Crescent Town became smaller and smaller in sight, Qin Kaicheng's expression also showed a little melancholy.
Chen Mo was silent for a moment, glanced at Ms. Qin who was making preparations not far away, and asked slowly.
"Is there anything else you need me to tell you?"
"No."
Qin Kaicheng shook his head and silently stared at the back not far away that he had seen since childhood.
"I've already said what needs to be said."
"..."
Chen Mo said nothing.
He understood Qin Kaicheng's thoughts. In addition to not wanting to trouble himself too much, there was another important reason. Many things could not be conveyed by just an outsider.
"Pika pika~"
Feeling the heavy atmosphere, Pikachu gently patted the back of Chen Mo's head as if to comfort him.
Qin Kaicheng was stunned when he noticed this scene, and then said slowly.
"Looking at you and Pikachu, I think of my charming cat. That little guy is also so considerate. Every time we encounter any difficulties, he will stay by my side silently and use various methods. There is a way to comfort me and encourage me, so I gave it a name called Little Love, which not only represents its cute appearance, but also represents its loving heart."
"As expected, I still like elves very much!"
Qin Kaicheng showed a carefree smile.
Chen Mo held Pikachu in his arms, rubbed the down on Pikachu's back, and nodded in agreement.
A long while.
Qin Kaicheng, whose eyes were full of envy, turned around and found that Crescent Town had completely disappeared from sight, and his eyes suddenly dimmed.
"Xiao Mo, thank you for taking care of me these days. Before I leave, I have one last question for you, an expert on elves."
"You ask."
Qin Kaicheng turned around and looked at Chen Mo.
After staying by Chen Mo's side these days, he also knew that the young man in front of him was recognized by countless people in Zhuxia, and even by the government, as a well-deserved pioneer and creator of this era, and a talented person leading the trend of the times.
Compared with Chen Mo's achievements, they pale in comparison in Crescent Town.
Considering the impact of that catastrophe on Crescent Town...
“Have our efforts really made the world a better place?”
——
The Crescent Town Pier is crowded with people.
"Is there really no suitable ship left?"
The boy wearing a red and white hat asked anxiously to the management of the dock in front of him.
"No more. The ones left at the dock now are all speedboats that are not suitable for sailing too far, and there are also some boats that are under repair. I'm really sorry. Xiao Ming, those suitable boats have either been rented out and come with us. Left, or fishing at sea."
Seeing the increasingly disappointed young man in front of him, the management staff at the dock couldn't bear it.
The people watching at the pier were also talking a lot.
"The final farewell ceremony was only half an hour late. This is too pitiful."
"That's right, I heard that many players in the Pikachu Cup are participating in a summer camp called the Extreme Challenge, a specially organized official summer camp event. The places are very precious. It is a place that many trainers dream of going to. I must be rushing back from there this time. It’s not easy either, oh, this is so unlucky.”
"Can Gao Tianming rent a speedboat first and see if he can catch up with the boats that left earlier?"
"No, that's too dangerous. Just these small speedboats in the town will be very dangerous if they encounter even the slightest big waves."
Gao Tianming clasped his hands and stood there with his head lowered.
It's not what you call bad luck.
Gao Tianming knew very well that all of this was caused by his own fear of facing the past.
Fool!
Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid!
Just when Gao Tianming was filled with regret, he raised his head and wanted to give himself a slap in the face. The fire dinosaur that was watching Gao Tianming silently, the moment Gao Tianming raised his hand, quickly slapped him. arms caught.
"Fire...fire dinosaur..."
Gao Tianming raised his head and looked at the figure of the fire dinosaur, his tone trembling.
"I…"
"Cabo."
The fire dinosaur, who understood what Gao Tianming wanted to say, just shook his head slightly.
at this time.
Gao Tianming suddenly noticed that the fire dinosaur's eyes were extremely determined, as if something was burning in its eyes.
Gao Tianming understood the meaning of the fire dinosaur, just like when he faced countless powerful enemies in the Pikachu Cup, the fire dinosaur and himself had repeated words countless times.
Now, it's not the end yet.
The next second.
Dazzling light bloomed from the fire dinosaur's body, and the crowd was in an uproar.
"Light of evolution!?"
"It actually evolved at this time. I remember that after the fire dinosaur evolved, it had wings and could carry people to fly. Could it be that..."
"It's unscientific. I remember that the first evolution of the Fire Dinosaur was during the main competition of the Pikachu Cup. How long has it been? It's less than a month. Why is it evolving again?"
Different from the joy of other trainers when they saw the evolution of their own elves, Gao Tianming, who understood what this meant after these days of knowledge education from the Countermeasures Bureau, had an expression full of panic and horror.
"No...no no...no, no, fire dinosaur!
! "
There is a saying circulating in the trainer circle that is very good.
Evolution is not that simple. Only by training with the elves, fighting together, experiencing victory and defeat, and overcoming various difficulties together can you experience evolution.
In other words, evolution is a process of accumulation, and the most important thing is accumulation. It has only been a month since Charmander evolved into a fire dinosaur. According to the test results from the Countermeasures Bureau, it will still take a long time before the next evolution. accumulation over a long period of time.
but.
Just like there are always geniuses among humans who are beyond ordinary people's understanding, among elves, there are also some extraordinary genius elves who don't take the usual path. With some firm will and belief, they can forcibly Let yourself evolve to the next stage. This is how Mo Yu's Axetooth Dragon evolved.
However, this kind of premature evolution is often accompanied by serious consequences.
Mo Yu's Axetooth Dragon is no exception. If he wants to evolve into a dual-axe combat dragon in the future, he may have to put in more effort and resources.
If the fire dinosaur evolves into a fire-breathing dragon at this time, although there is no threshold for evolution, it will also have a great impact on its future growth.
after all.
The life of elves does not end after their final evolution. Their real life has just begun from that moment.
Because he understood this, Gao Tianming did not want to cause problems in the future development of the fire dinosaur because of his own problems.
The light of evolution shrouding the fire dinosaurs is getting stronger and stronger.
Gao Tianming saw it.
The fire dinosaur shook his head slightly towards him, his attitude extremely determined.
Just when things were about to reach an unstoppable point, there was a "tick" sound, like the sound of water drops falling to the ground. Gao Tianming and Fire Dinosaur felt that time had frozen at this moment almost at the same time.
In the darkness, a clear and helpless voice sounded.
"Are all the humans and elves from Crescent Town so reckless? Stop evolving, Fire Dinosaur. I have a way to send you there, please trust me."
The very nervous Gao Tianming immediately shouted happily towards the fire dinosaur.
"Did you hear, Fire Dinosaur, there is a way, you don't have to force yourself like this!"
"Cabo?"
The fire dinosaur's eyes were full of suspicion.
"well."
The unknown being in the darkness sighed softly.
"I have no need to deceive you, and it will not do me any good to prevent you from going to the ceremony site. On the contrary, if you go now, you may help me, and it will be faster. But Qin Kaicheng's obsession, let him go there earlier Spiritual world, believe me, I am on your side.”
"The distance is too far. My strength has reached its limit. However, the little ones who came to pick you up are also here, so Fire Dinosaur, please stop on your own initiative..."
The voices in the darkness grew smaller and smaller.
Gao Tianming, who suddenly came back to his senses, heard bursts of exclamations from the crowd around him. He raised his head and looked at the sea not far away.
On the sea surface, huge elves with aqua-blue skin and a thick gray shell on their backs, shaped like plesiosaurs, were swimming quickly towards the dock.
"That is…"
——
The local government of Crescent Town attaches great importance to Qin Kaicheng's sea return ceremony. According to the other party, Qin Kaicheng, as well as Yu Heguang and others in the past, are all heroes of the town.
However, due to their ignorance at the time, Yu and Guang's Hai return ceremony was just a hasty and collective one. Therefore, in order to make up for the past, they wanted to make this ceremony grander, and all the expenses involved It's up to them.
in addition.
If possible, the officials here also hope that Chen Mo will completely record the sea return ceremony through live broadcast.
Chen Mo did not agree immediately.
However, Ms. Qin quickly agreed. She said that Qin Kaicheng liked liveliness during his lifetime, and it was okay to make the last part of the funeral grand and lively.
Seeing this, Chen Mo agreed.
Facing the humid sea breeze, the sea return ceremony belonging to Qin Kaicheng officially began. The first part of the ceremony was led by some famous old people in Crescent Town to lay flower baskets for the ancestors of Crescent Town.
A serious atmosphere spread on the ship. Everyone standing on the deck and coming to attend the return ceremony had solemn expressions.
The viewers in the live broadcast room who were affected by this atmosphere were all honest and wrote words like 'sorrow' or 'tribute' on the barrage.
"Sometimes, it feels incredible, just standing here, watching my own funeral ceremony."
Qin Kaicheng stood in the middle of the deck, looking at the people sending flower baskets to the sea one by one, and then said in a half-joking tone.
"If I could touch a mobile phone or computer now, I would definitely make a post. Well, the name would be "What is it like to attend your own funeral?" It will definitely be very interesting and attract a lot of people's attention..."
The man kept saying some strange words as if he was a chatterbox, but on the entire ship, except for Chen Mo, Geng Gui, and Ma Shado, who was still hiding in the shadow world, no other life could hear his words.
finally.
When he saw the white-haired old woman starting to lay a flower basket, the man raised his head and looked up at the sky as if he wanted to suppress something from flowing out.
After a long while, he slowly lowered his head and spoke in a low voice with a heartbreaking and weak voice.
"I almost forgot that I am already a ghost..."
"..."
Chen Mo unknowingly held the camera tightly.
He hated this feeling of powerlessness, but at the same time he couldn't help but wonder, if he had the full version of the power of the waveguide now, would he be able to fulfill some of the wishes of the man in front of him.
Unfortunately, he had nothing and could do nothing.
Just when Chen Mo sighed secretly, Mashado's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
"There is a mysterious guy coming over. I don't know if he is causing trouble. In short, cheer up first!"
