Chapter 623 Sudden Change
While everyone was chatting, the third prince Nan Yuzhu walked over slowly with a stooped old man, followed by Baili Mochen.
Nan Yufeng's first reaction when he saw Baili Mochen was to look for Chunfeng. When he saw that Chunfeng was still not far from him, he smiled at Baili Mochen with confidence.
Baili Mochen also nodded to Nan Yufeng and Chunfeng respectively.
When the chief arrived, people from Nanchen came to pay their respects. After that, the chief announced in a strange voice, "The Peacock Festival has begun, and the All Saints are here."
People in Nanchen regard the peacock as a sacred bird, and "Halloween is coming" actually means that the peacock is coming.
For a moment, everyone held their breath, placed food that the peacocks liked to eat around themselves, and waited for the peacocks to arrive.
After a while, a sweet bird call suddenly came from the dense mountain forest. Each sound was crisper and clearer than the last, just like fairy music.
Immediately afterwards, peacocks flew over from the dense mountain forest, and the sky was immediately filled with peacocks of different colors.
The people of Nanchen all began to worship devoutly, and the spring breeze also watched the peacock in the sky intently.
For the past few days, the heart of the spring breeze has always been weighed down by dark clouds. At this moment, these brightly colored birds made the spring breeze feel a short-term joy with their cheerful chirping.
After hovering in the sky for a while, the peacock began to gradually descend, flew in front of everyone, and pecked at their sacrifices.
Nan Chen's rule is that whoever has the most peacocks in front of him will be the next candidate to be released.
At this time, almost all the peacocks stopped in front of the third prince. Surrounded by a group of peacocks, the third prince looked not like a mortal.
"Princess Yao, why don't you take action?"
Nan Yufeng approached Chunfeng and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Chunfeng glanced at Hanzhu and Pengyue quietly, and Hanzhu and Pengyue immediately opened the purses they carried with them.
Miraculously, peacocks gradually began to appear around the second prince. After a while, the number was almost equal to that of the third prince.
"Holy incense? Do you have holy incense?"
Nan Yufeng asked Chunfeng in surprise.
Holy incense is a kind of fragrance unique to Nanchen that attracts peacocks. It is extremely precious. Only the chief has it. Most people don't know the preparation method of holy incense at all. But now Princess Yao actually has it. Nan Yufeng can't help but pay attention to the woman next to him again.
Watch with admiration.
Chunfeng said calmly: "I only have to fulfill my promise. The rest seems to have nothing to do with the second prince."
Nan Yufeng was choked, but now is not the time to argue with Chunfeng. When he gets the position of chief, he will think of ways to get the holy incense.
The chief and the third prince looked surprised when they saw many peacocks falling in front of Nan Yufeng, while Nan Yufeng responded to them with a proud attitude.
About half an hour later, no peacocks flew out of the Peacock Mountain, so the elders of the tribe began to count the number of peacocks in front of everyone.
After the elder finished counting, he counted them again in front of Nan Yufeng and Nan Yuzhu, and then said to the chief: "Tell the chief, the second prince and the third prince have the same number of favors from the sacred bird."
When the chief was about to speak, Nan Yuzhu stepped forward and said: "I am willing to withdraw voluntarily and give up my qualification as the selected chief to the second prince."
As soon as Nan Yuzhu said this, the whole place was in an uproar.
Nan Yuzhu said: "My second brother is very talented, and I am far behind him. And according to the order of eldest and youngest, he should be the chief of the two brothers. Now my father is seriously ill and cannot take care of himself. I am willing to serve my father, but I am not willing to do so."
