Chapter 151: Utilization
When the mysterious and unfamiliar word "goddess's suit" came out, many hidden problems became clear.
Liu Nansheng knocked on the cigarette stick, and the tobacco leaves that were not fully burned shattered, and a few points of burned tobacco residue fell. He pondered the secrets that had been passed down from generation to generation and that only the village chief had permission to know, and recalled the first conversation he had with the Black Saint on that night of a thunderstorm that foreshadowed the disaster.
"What are you talking about...... Of course it's good, but ........"
"Huh?"
The Black Saintess raised her eyebrows slightly, and her flowing beautiful eyes stopped on Liu Nansheng's face, as if she was peeking into his soul through the appearance of her flesh.
Those floating fears, the suppressed restraints, and the emptiness that cannot be broken free from and has nowhere to place.
She didn't rush to respond to anything, just silently looked at the young man opposite.
"Black Saintess, I know what you said, and I'm willing to do it. If we all do it, we will all be happy, but if we don't do it, what should we do if something goes wrong in the process? I am the village chief of Liuzhen, and I can't help but be responsible for my villagers...... I'm really worried, really worried......"
When this sentence was asked, it was a rare moment when Yoo Nam-sheng's reason overpowered the oppressive feeling brought by belief.
He instinctively wanted to follow the will of the Black Saint, but fear was like a leech clinging to his heart, eating away at his reason everywhere. In the face of life and death, no one will behave calmly, especially when forced to make a major decision, everyone will have concerns, and they can't help but find out whether they are right or wrong.
"Don't worry, I'm here to clean up the aftermath. ”
This was probably a word of relief, but the Black Saintess's tone was flat and did not show much emotion.
Liu Nansheng doesn't know what the meaning of the Black Sage's sentence of "aftermath" is hidden, has the affairs of the Wu clan ever taken a turn for the better, does this refer to the split of the Wu clan a hundred years ago, or even earlier, those histories that cannot be spied on?
Since it is said to be the aftermath, where was the problem back then?
Looking at Liu Nansheng's confused eyes, the Black Saintess seemed to see through his unspoken words.
Therefore, before Liu Nansheng could ask anything, she explained it very meaningfully.
"I can sense that the Flower Soul has chosen the right owner, and those prophecies are about to come true. Sure enough, the mistakes left by the Black Saintess have now been fulfilled, and she is about to wake up....... At this point, if you don't want the tragedy of the ancient kingdom of Loulan to happen again, the best way is to prevent her from waking up. ”
"What, what?"
Liu Nansheng listened to it with little understanding, and wanted to ask "her" several times?
But his lips and teeth touched up and down, as if his behavior was not controlled, and he couldn't speak at all.
He only remembered that the beautiful voice of the Black Saintess was hidden in the thunder that tore through the night, and it was clear that her voice was not loud, and even soft as hypnotic bewitchment, but every word and sentence seemed cautious, and it was deeply impressed in Liu Nansheng's mind.
"Take 10,000 steps back, even if you fail, she really wakes up, and it is only the beginning, not the end. She didn't expect the betrayal of her people, just as she didn't expect that the "goddess's battle suit", which was supposed to be kept by the high priest, would be scattered everywhere. The human heart is the most unpredictable, and in the face of greed and desire, even she has no full chance of winning. ”
"Then Lord Dark Saintess, if the plan fails, what should we do?"
Those mysterious and mysterious feelings, Liu Nansheng heard half understanding, and just subconsciously asked.
It was a long time later, when Liu Nansheng was able to come up with enough reason to chew on the deep meaning of this conversation again, he realized in hindsight that perhaps at that time, the Black Saintess had already set aside a way out.
It's just that those retreats are at the expense of the villagers of Liuzhen.
........
The topic of the whole night was too heavy, and any clue was no less than finding the only way out from the intricacies of history, and the curse left by the Wu clan and the awakening of the little princess of Loulan were even worse, making it impossible to relax at all.
So much so that the three people in the small room were silent, and for a moment only the suppressed snort remained.
For the people of the Wu Clan, those innate fates are too depressing, and many hidden secrets hidden in the darkness are buried by the wreckage of time, and no one wants to deal with them, and there is no way to deal with them. It wasn't until the moment of disaster that everyone flared their wings like a flock of frightened birds, trying to turn something around with their meager strength.
But such efforts are too barren and too slow to have any real effect, and are nothing more than a remedy.
Therefore, it is not so much that Liu Nansheng is giving effective solutions, so that Liu Mu and Gu Qi, the two half-insiders who finally followed the clues, can make new progress and find out the crux of the matter. It's better to say that Liu Dashao listened to the passage of time for half a night, and in the end he could only sigh for no reason about the tragedy that happened in the Wu clan.
Until this moment, Liu Nansheng confided the last secret, but Liu Mu and Gu Qi spied out the truth.
When he got the mysterious document bag, Liu Mu realized that he seemed to be pulled into these mysteries by some invisible force, which became a step in the plan. Now things are very clear, Liu Mu is following the clues to explore little by little, just like Bai Yi, who is far away in Wucheng, investigating the bizarre accident last year and He Sheng's disappearance. But if you dig deeper, these clues did not appear for no reason, and at every juncture that was enough to affect Liu Mu's judgment, someone would push him from behind.
It's not so much an active investigation, but as if invisibly, someone has to guide him to investigate.
Liu Mu also asked himself more than once - why did those people choose him?
Because he was very close to his cousin Bai Yicong, he inadvertently spied on some secrets, so that he couldn't be left alone? Because the status and influence of the Liu family may have an impact on the development of the situation, it is called part of the plan?
Or maybe it was because he heard that old ballad by chance when he was younger?
Liu Mu didn't come to a conclusion about these things, but this didn't prevent him from thinking that there would be very complicated things hidden behind these things, otherwise with his cousin Bai Yicong's ability to reach the sky, he wouldn't have encountered an accident in Wucheng in the first place.
Before coming to Liuzhen, Liu Mu was already mentally prepared.
And after listening to Liu Nansheng's words, Liu Mu finally had a clearer understanding of those things hidden behind the fog. If you have to dig deeper, the person who is manipulating all this behind the scenes is obviously the man with the silver mask and the little princess Loulan who woke up from the flower soul.
Their purpose is also obvious, to summon the gods and make a comeback for revenge......
Eternal life, or, perdition.
He and Bai Yi have to grasp clues and tell evidence when they are engaged in things, and they are extremely cautious in making a decision casually, if they can't do it, they won't make rash moves. Most of Liu Mu's analysis is freewheeling, just like his unrestrained character, even if he encounters a difficult situation, he has a bit of a reckless spirit.
After realizing that someone is using him as a pawn, normal people may have scruples and choose to avoid risks.
But Liu Dashao's first reaction was to follow the clues given by those people to investigate.
At that time, who will be the chess piece, whether it will push the boat along the river or the general will be the first army, and we will see.
This is also the reason why Liu Mu came to Liuzhen on his own initiative after finding clues.
I don't know if it's too sensitive, Liu Mu always felt that these things were deeply involved with the Bai family, otherwise how could the other party know everything about the treasures of the bereaved king, and the internal information of the Bai family was almost leaked cleanly?
Therefore, Liu Mucai did not alarm Bai Yicong, but chose to touch the road alone, after all, compared to the impact caused by the identity of the head of the Bai family, the young master of the Liu family, who is accustomed to spending time drinking and cynicism, is obviously more hidden. Take 10,000 steps back, if the Bai family really has an internal ghost, if they want to find out his Liu Mu's body, they will have to live for a long time.
In the depression of the whole night, Liu Nansheng's words at this moment almost became the only good news tonight.
At the very least, it shows that there is no way to remedy this.
"The biggest impact of the division of the Wu clan back then was not that the clansmen were scattered and divided, in such a tribe where even the soul and body did not belong to themselves, the sacrifice of the clansmen was never nothing. If it's just blood and killing, it's just a little episode in the long years, and the appearance of the Black Witch Maiden can't just bring that. ”
"So, what's the real impact?"
Liu Mu quickly asked, but Liu Nansheng gave the answer directly.
"The real impact was that during the split within the Wu Clan, the "Goddess's Battle Suit", which had been worshipped for generations, was scattered all over the place, and was taken to various places along with the scattered people of the Wu Clan....... Don't you know the ballad, where the goddess's suit is, in fact, all of it is hidden in that ballad, and I don't know how the secret should be deciphered. ”
"The gods in the snow, the brightness after withering,
Broken faith, return in desperation,
The whispers of the sorcerer, the curse of the near stranger,
The division of illusion, illusory and real,
Light in the dust, the last eternal life. ”
.......
This mysterious and mysterious ballad appeared in Liu Mu and Gu Qi's minds, and their ears seemed to suddenly float with ethereal music, the chanting sound was accompanied by a beating beat, and the clear and long voices of the girls drifted far away with the wind.
And Liu Nansheng recited the ancient song in a low voice, and continued to speak to himself.
At that time, the Black Saintess said that the awakening of the little princess was only the beginning of the disaster, and it did not mean that everything was irreversible. Only by gathering the "Goddess's Battle Suit" and finding a suitable container can the Goddess's spirit frozen in the tomb be awakened. So this is just a competition, and if we want to stop the little princess from awakening the goddess, we have to get the "goddess's suit" first. ”
Liu Mu thought about Liu Nansheng's words and quickly grasped the crux of the matter.
"So the real purpose of this sacrifice is actually to prevent the "goddess's suit" from falling into the hands of the little princess, right?"
