Last night, they were still talking …
Looking at the sad Zhu Sheng, several people in the house were stunned and puzzled.
The patriarch was indeed old, his hair was like snow, his skin was withered, but his spirit was still full, without any sign of aging. How could he just leave?
The point was that the last place the patriarch stayed yesterday was Law's room.
Law didn't think too much about it, but Si Ji thought about it. He carefully observed Zhu Sheng's expression and was slightly relieved when he didn't find anything strange.
After all, they were always outsiders, and the time of the patriarch's death was quite sensitive, so the Zhu people may doubt them. This kind of thing has nothing to do with kindness.
Fortunately, Biscay couldn't find a trace of suspicion from Zhu Sheng's performance, but he couldn't guarantee what the other Zhu people would think.
With this in mind, Bi Si Ji and Tong Luo followed Zhu Sheng to the clan leader's house.
On the way, Law frowned slightly, thinking of the conversation with the patriarch last night, and suddenly felt a little regretful and regretful.
He could feel the patriarch's worry and concerns about the future of the Zhu people, and he could have changed the Zhu people's residence in a few days, but the patriarch couldn't see this scene.
When he thought of this, he thought of the bright starlight at the bottom of the stone basin and couldn't help but sigh.
Because he considered that he would stay in the Zhu people's residence for a while, he only threw out questions to the patriarch last night, and didn't take the opportunity to understand the mysterious big man of East Brix. He didn't expect this to happen.
The Zhu people's residence was not big, and after walking for a while, they came to the patriarch's house.
At this time, the Zhu people were crowded around, like sardines in the subway during rush hour.
Noticing the arrival of Law and his party, they all looked over.
Biscay glanced at the Zhu people standing around the house, only to see that there were several Zhu people in the crowd with bruised noses and swollen faces. Other than that, he didn't find anything strange, so he was completely relieved.
Come to think of it, the people of the Zhu Clan were pure and simple. In their view, since they were indebted to Luo, they would never harm the patriarch. Therefore, even if the patriarch left Luo's house last night and died without warning this morning, it would not arouse their suspicion.
The house was crowded, and every Zhu person's face was sad, most people's cheeks were wet, and the whole narrow space was full of sadness.
The crowd gave way to a passage, and people on both sides watched Luo and his party walk into the house.
Inside the room stood five older members of the Zhu Clan. They didn't react to Zhu Sheng's arrival.
All that was left on the stone bed was a human-shaped burn mark and a pile of black ash.
That was a very abnormal phenomenon.
Law, Biscay, and Dongba stared at the black ash on the bed. At a glance, they could tell that she was burned to death. However …
He glanced at the other six members of the Zhu Clan in the room. None of them, including the Zhu Sheng, showed any signs of abnormality. In other words, was this how the Zhu Clan members died?
Bruna connected the communication channel for them.
Zhu Sheng seemed to sense the confusion of the outsiders and explained in a low voice, "The chief died of old age. When the people of my tribe reach the end of their lifespans, the weak flame in their hearts will burst forth with their last bit of energy and burn away every part of their bodies."
He only explained the strange phenomenon in the eyes of outsiders, but didn't explain further.
After the Zhu Clan moved out from the vicinity of the earth's core, they lost the protection of the terrain and the supply of fire-chasing stones. On the road to survival, they would starve to death, die of exhaustion, die of battle, but rarely die of old age.
In fact, everyone in the Zhu Clan knew that the chief died of old age, but they didn't know when that day would come, and the result was today.
Yesterday, when the chief woke up a few days early, a few of the Zhu Clan members made a few jokes. Who would have thought that it would come true, so those guys were surrounded and beaten up by the crowd.
So that's how it is.
Biscay thought silently. No wonder the Zhu Clan members didn't point the arrow at them.
"I express my regret."
Law didn't think as much as Biscay. He looked at the crowd and said.
Zhu Sheng said that they would scatter the black ash left behind by the chief's death in a while.
Hearing what Zhu Sheng and the others were going to do next, Law was surprised and stopped them.
The Zhu Clan didn't have a funeral culture. When they went out to hunt and died in an accident, their bodies would be abandoned in the underground world, and those who died of old age would be scattered with the wind.
It could be imagined that if they died of old age and didn't turn into ashes after death, the Zhu Clan members would really throw their bodies outside to fulfill the principle called return. In fact, there was another advantage to doing so, and that was to make space for their residence.
After death, there was no place to bury, wasn't that the true portrayal of the Zhu Clan in the underground world?
Under the puzzled gaze of the Zhu Clan members, Law took a piece of stone and in front of them, cut it with Zhenzhu.
After a few cuts, Law felt that Zhenzhu was too long and inconvenient to use, so he switched to using both hands. However, the stone was too hard, even if he compressed his domain, he couldn't cut it freely.
Using a very slow speed, he carved the stone bit by bit.
All Law had to do was to make an urn for the chief. Although the efficiency was relatively low, in the eyes of outsiders, it was a careful performance.
About half an hour later, Law made a delicate urn and let Zhu Sheng and the others put the black ash left behind by the chief's death into the stone urn.
At first, the Zhu Clan members didn't want to do so, but in the end, they were persuaded by Law to expand their residence for them.
There was no lively funeral, only a silent farewell from the bottom of each person's heart.
Later, Law began to expand the residence for the Zhu Clan members. What he had to do was very simple, that was, he used Zhenzhu to cut a piece of stone, and the cut stone material would not be thrown away directly. It could be used to make furniture and other things.
The Zhu Clan members didn't forget the sadness of the death of the chief, but they hid it deep in their hearts. They watched Law's great power from the side, and from time to time, there was an uproar.
It was all because what Law was doing at the moment was too incredible in their eyes.
The stone that couldn't be chewed seemed so fragile in front of Law.
A piece of stone material was cut down, and the Zhu Clan members didn't have time to look at it. Under the command of Biscay, they followed Law's wishes and classified the stone of different sizes.
Every Zhu Clan member may not have thought that their residence would usher in a complete change from this moment on.
There are big stones, and some corners will be cut.
Law's head has been turning while he was expanding the residence.
He felt that the hardness of the stone was very strong, and it may have a lot of uses.
For example, the small corners can be carved into small marbles or diamond thorns, which will have a good killing effect with the help of the release system. Usually, it only needs to be hidden in the Black Cat's space, and it can be summoned when it needs to be used.
Moreover, he can also use the surprise magic box to strengthen the poison and the stone.
