Chapter 475: Ringing the Green Gong
Chapter 475: Ringing the Green Gong
Green Ginseng saw the hesitation of Chief Ginseng, but it couldn't explain too much to Chief Ginseng, "Grandpa Chief..."
Its voice trembled unconsciously.
"I understand." Chief Can nodded, "But the entire Can group has the right to know about this matter and to make the decision. It won't be too late to make a decision after I collect everyone's opinions."
After Patriarch Shen finished speaking, he opened the door and left.
Green Ginseng didn't say anything, because it knew that what Chief Ginseng did was right.
The safety of the sacred tree concerns every member of the group, so everyone has the right to know the truth.
Before, when the San people gathered under the sacred tree, they were driven back to their homes by the San tribe leader.
It's quiet outside now, not a single ginseng is around.
Chief Shen and Green Shen came under the sacred tree again.
They walked to the back of the sacred tree, and there stretched out a thin branch with a small green gong hanging on it.
Chief Shen leaned back with his hands on his hips, then banged his head hard on the gong.
"Boom-"
The gongs were knocked flying.
Chief Shen was also shaken back two steps by inertia, and only because of Lu Shen's support did he not faint.
The gong swung back and forth on the branch.
And the "dong" sound, as the gong swung, spread out in circles, gradually reaching every cabin.
Almost immediately, the doors of several cabins were opened.
After hearing the gong, the young monks walked out of the cabin, closed the door, and then walked towards the sacred tree as if they were familiar with the way.
After that, more and more wooden houses opened their doors.
In less than a moment, all the ginsengs gathered under the sacred tree. Seeing that most of the ginsengs had arrived, the ginseng leader ordered Green Ginseng to count the ginsengs.
"Grandpa Patriarch, everyone is here."
Patriarch Shen nodded.
After confirming that every ginseng had arrived, the ginseng tribe leader slowly opened his mouth and told the entire ginseng tribe what Green Ginseng had just said to him.
As soon as these words were spoken, a huge uproar was caused.
"W-what? You want to move the sacred tree to another place?"
"Chief, are you kidding? Where can we and the sacred tree move to now?"
"Although the world is vast, I have never heard of a place in the world that is more suitable for the growth of the sacred tree than here."
"Yes, we have lived here since we were born. If we move to another place, it's understandable that we can't adapt, but what if the sacred tree can't adapt?"
"..."
For a moment, the group was filled with panic, confusion and disbelief.
At this time, a ginseng with only one leaf on his head said somewhat disappointedly: "That's right, and we are all gone, what about my Xiaomei......"
After it finished speaking, the other ginseng next to it immediately got angry and grabbed the only leaf on the top of the head of the ginseng that had just spoken.
"What? What Xiaomei? Tell me the truth, who is Xiaomei?"
"I was wrong, my dear. Xiaomei is the flower at the door of our room. I plan to grow it into a heavenly spiritual plant and give it to you."
Another monk said, "Don't talk about Xiaomei. If we really want to move away from here, then except for the sacred tree and ourselves, everything here, including every blade of grass and every tree, must be left behind."
"Now, because of the sacred tree, they can still live for a while, although they are gradually withering. But the moment the sacred tree is removed, they will really die."
"Alas, I have some feelings for you, I really don't want to let you go..."
You speak one after another, but I can hardly hear anyone agreeing with this approach.
The head of the Shen tribe frowned and said, "I don't need to explain the relationship between the Holy Tree and our Shen tribe. Everyone knows it, so I don't want to say anything more."
It does not want to interfere in their decisions, but that does not mean it cannot explain the pros and cons up front.
"Because the future is unknown, as the leader of the San tribe, I can't guarantee you which choice you make, what the results will be, or recommend which one you choose."
"Chief..." The group fell silent in an instant.
Chief Shen continued, "This decision is very important. I hope you can think about it carefully before making a decision."
After Patriarch Shen finished speaking, he left.
Only the ginseng crowd was left standing under the sacred tree, looking at each other in confusion.
Looking at the back of Chief Shen as he left, Green Shen reluctantly added to Chief Shen's unfinished words, "After half an hour, everyone should tell Chief Shen what he has decided."
After saying that, Green Ginseng also left.
The participants stood here with mixed feelings and began to weigh the pros and cons.
"If the sacred tree is gone, everything we have now will cease to exist."
"That's right. The Holy Tree is the most important. According to the current situation of the Holy Tree, we can only choose to take a gamble."
"Yes! I agree to transplant the sacred tree! Even if it fails in the end, it is better than being unable to do anything here and watching the sacred tree slowly die!"
"I agree, wife. I can only give you Xiaomei next time."
"Add me one!"
"..."
In just a quarter of an hour, all participants reached a consensus on the answer.
They lined up neatly and walked towards the room of Patriarch Shen, and then told Patriarch Shen about everyone's decision.
When he heard everyone's unanimous opinion, Chief Shen choked up.
"Chief, when do we start digging the sacred tree?" one of the participants asked.
"No hurry." Chief Shen shook his head and led the group of Shen outside. "We have to wait for our benefactor to come out."
benefactor?
In the minds of the participants, a heroic red figure instantly emerged.
Chief Shen brought the Shen group to the outside of Green Shen's room.
But when it was still some distance away from the cabin, it stopped and did not move forward.
Because Chief Shen saw a small black beast and a little turkey guarding in front of the wooden house.
"Come, come and participate!"
Chief Shen's first reaction was that these two little animals were outsiders who had intruded into their territory.
It thought that the two beasts were planning to do something bad to Ruan Xihe, so it immediately wanted to summon everyone to protect Ruan Xihe's safety and not let them enter the room.
"Huh——" Big Mouth couldn't hold back and became playful. He bared his teeth at the group of ginsengs, revealing his murderous intent.
The ginseng were so frightened by Big Mouth's action that they all took several steps back and fell to the ground.
Big Mouth was amused by the actions of the ginseng group.
"Ha ha..."
It had just laughed twice when it felt its mouth being manually closed. It lowered its eyes and saw a small fiery red paw. It immediately stopped laughing.
Jin glared at Dazui before retracting his claws that were covering Dazui's mouth. He then said coldly to Canqun, "The master is in retreat, and must not be disturbed."
"Master...Master?" Chief Shen was so frightened that his brain froze. He looked at Green Shen in confusion.
Green Ginseng looked a little guilty.
It nudged Chief Clan Leader Shen and said weakly, "Grandpa Chief, I forgot to tell you that this is the benefactor's contracted beast."
"So that's how it is." Patriarch Shen nodded in shock.
However, knowing that these two spirit beasts were Ruan Xihe's contracted beasts, it felt a lot more relieved.
Chief Shen asked the others to sit down and wait.
But time passes slowly.
There was no movement in the house.
