Chapter twenty-six death of illness, succession to the throne
In Shuiyue Cave, the peace and harmony of the past is no longer there.
On the martial arts field.
"Pa..."
Finally, Tong Zhen, who struggled to finish the last sentence, seemed to be relieved of the burden on his shoulders, and his mind relaxed. In a hazy state, a scene from many years ago seemed to appear in front of his eyes.
At that time, the time was right and the spirit was high.
With the gentle breeze blowing and the sun shining brightly, the cardamom girl was hiding cutely behind the boy, secretly teasing the tribesmen. The excited young man often made the tribesmen jump around and make them restless. And this
Sometimes, the girl would always quietly follow behind the boy, covering her mouth and snickering.
…
"That's great! Xin'er, I'm here..."
He closed his eyes tiredly and dropped his arms weakly.
"father!"
Tong Zhan screamed loudly, and the mournful cry was like the sound of a broken string, startling thousands of birds and frightening all kinds of beasts.
"Wow..."
Tong Zhan lifted up his white robe, stood up, and took three steps back.
"Bang..."
Just as he knelt down and kowtowed, the floor instantly cracked and there was blood on his forehead.
“Bang…..Bang…Bang….”
Every knock is so forceful, every knock is so shocking, and every knock is so touching!
"Dad, my child will definitely do what you say."
Tong Zhan thought silently in his heart, tears gathered in his eyes and slowly dripped down the corners of his eyes.
Who knew that a man would not shed tears easily, but he had not yet reached the point of sadness. This was his father, his closest relative, passing away slowly in front of him, but he himself was powerless and could only watch quietly.
Tragedy happens.
"Wow..."
A strong gust of wind struck, vaguely carrying a hint of coercion.
"tread……"
As soon as the footsteps sounded, the strong wind dissipated, revealing a figure, it was Tong Bo who had been waiting outside, waiting hard.
When Tong Bo heard Tong Zhan's screams, he knew something was wrong and rushed there regardless of physical fatigue, only to find that his father had already left.
His face was miserable, his lips were trembling, and his eyes were sparkling with tears as he looked at the sleeping figure in disbelief.
"father!"
"Pa..."
Tong Bo screamed sadly and his legs instantly fell to his knees.
"Clan leader!!"
"Clan leader!!"
The Tong clan members rushed over one after another, and when they saw this scene, they all knelt down in mourning and expressed their sadness!!!
Tong Zhan just kept kneeling there, motionless!
….
After a long time, Tong Bo stood up, taking numb steps, and prepared to pick up the fire sticks to help Tong Zhen light the lantern.
"Brother."
At this moment, Tong Zhan finally took action and stopped Tong Bo's behavior.
Tong Bo ignored what Tong Zhan said. To be more precise, he did not react and did not expect that Tong Zhan would stop him.
"Brother, according to the clan rules, there must be a successor clan leader before he can light the eternal lamp for dad."
Tong Bo's pupils shrank and he put down the fire seal in surprise.
"What are you talking about? He is the eldest son, and he should be the successor to the clan leader." Yinxiu rushed out to argue for Tong Bo.
At this time, Tong Bo also turned around and looked at Tong Zhan, who was expressionless. He couldn't speak for a long time because he didn't know what to say.
"He is the eldest son, but he is not the new patriarch."
Holding back the grief in his heart, Tong Zhan still said these words. Really, he didn't want to do this, but...but...he promised Tong Zhen, he...
"ah!?"
The six elders and hermits couldn't help but scream. They didn't understand why Tong Zhan said such strange words. Logically speaking, the eldest son must inherit the position of patriarch. This is correct, but...
Tong Bo looked at his brother silently. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and stepped forward and said, "What did dad say?"
"Tong Zhan, you are confused, there is no reason..."
Yin Xiu wanted to continue, but...
"have!"
Tong Zhan choked and said, "Because I don't agree."
At this time, the Tong clan members had no idea that Tong Zhan would say such words. The relationship between their brothers was so deep, and it should not have turned out like this anyway.
"Child War."
Tong Bo didn't understand and couldn't believe that his brother would say such things.
"I don't agree, I don't agree." Tong Zhan shouted, his eyes starting to glow.
"You know, I never care about the position of patriarch."
Tong Bo's tone was also choked with sobs. He spoke softly and looked directly into Tong Zhan's eyes, "But I want to know what dad said."
The light of the lake in the distance rippled, and the trembling candlelight swayed slightly. Under the moonlight, Tong Zhan's heart felt like a wave of shock. He looked at his eldest brother Tong Bo and choked up: "Father wants you... to leave Shuiyue Cave."
Tong Bo took a step back in disbelief, his eyes filled with sadness.
"Impossible." The hermit didn't believe it.
"The clan leader should know the clan rules!" Elder Tianxing said.
"Yes..." the elders also said one after another.
Tong Bo looked at the "sleeping" Tong Zhen sadly, with tears in his eyes.
He didn't believe it, didn't want to believe it, and couldn't believe it. He had an ominous premonition in his heart. Is this because of something...
"If you don't leave, I'll leave." Tong Zhan said things that went against his conscience time and time again. Only he knew the pain in his heart.
"Tongzhan...Tongzhan..."
"Brother, I'm sorry."
Tong Zhan muttered something silently in his mind, turned his head and ran outside with his eyes red.
He knew that his eldest brother would eventually leave, not for anything else, but simply because of his younger brother's request.
Even if this request will make you bruised all over!
"Child War."
Tong Bo just stretched out his hand, and he didn't dare to chase him, because he knew that this was Tong Zhan expressing his attitude, but he wanted to know why, but he was afraid that forcing Tong Zhan would hurt him.
"Second Brother" was something he had never seen before, and he didn't want to force him.
“Ah…….Ah……..”
Tong Bo couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar, like thunder, like dragon's roar, shaking the sky and the earth, the sound was filled with extreme pain.
In the distance, Tong Zhan, who was leaving sadly, heard this mournful cry. His footsteps stopped, his body trembled, and he continued walking forward.
Hua Hua... Hua Hua..."
Walking through the mountain trails, Tong Zhan was like a strong wind, trying to escape the sorrow in his heart.
The wind blows and the trees sway, and the birds chirp.
"tread……"
Finally, Tong Zhan stopped and stood on the edge of a cliff, shouting angrily: "Why... why... why is this like this... why..."
“Ah……..Ah……..Ah…….”
Tong Zhan released his inner strength without any reservation, and punched his feet with both hands.
"Bang...bang...bang..."
Soon, Tong Zhan's hands became bloody and bloody.
After a long time, Tong Zhan collapsed from exhaustion.
"Why? Why is this happening? Dad, tell me, why is this happening?"
"Why is the eldest brother not the eldest brother? Why?"
"Why on earth is this?"
