Chapter 159: The Sleeping Words of the Undead
The remains of the village of Lige in the center of the Forest of Miracles
In front of a dilapidated building, Qin Xiu knelt on the ground, and Siqiya stood quietly behind him.
"I'm leaving, they're coming," Squia began.
"Actually, there's no need to hide it from them like this, after all, we have already met," Qin Xiu turned his head slightly and said.
"When you think about the past, you'll agree with me," Squia said.
"Really, maybe," Qin Xiu said slowly.
When Qin Xiu's words fell, Siqiya immediately turned into flames and disappeared in place.
Qin Xiu sighed slightly after seeing Siqiya disappear in place, looked at the dilapidated church in front of him, raised his hands and slowly closed his eyes, and muttered silently.
In this way, after Qin Xiu had been kneeling for nearly ten minutes, three figures walked behind Qin Xiu, it was Miranaz and Harpy.
They were puzzled when they saw Qin Xiu kneeling in front of a dilapidated building, muttering something silently.
"Ah Xiu......" Mirazhen immediately shouted when she saw Qin Xiu's figure, and walked next to Qin Xiu only to find that Qin Xiu seemed to be muttering something.
"What are you talking about?" Natsu said as he walked over and wondered.
Harpy leaned under Qin Xiu and raised his ears to listen, but soon shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "I can't hear what Ah Xiu is reading at all......"
As soon as Harpy's words fell, Qin Xiu opened his eyes, but he didn't put down his hand, "Don't make trouble, Harpy"
After Qin Xiu opened his mouth, he startled the harpy, "It turns out that it's okay," the harpy said depressedly.
"I'm reciting the words of the sleeping of the dead, which is used to sacrifice the souls of the dead," Qin Xiu said slowly.
"Sacrifice to the undead?" Natsu was stunned.
"Natsu, Ashu is sacrificing the villagers who died eleven years ago, let's step back a bit," Mirajan said.
After listening to Mirajan's words, Natsu and Harpy immediately understood what Qin Xiu was doing, and just now they seemed to be a little nonsense, so they immediately retreated and stood behind Qin Xiu quietly, and Qin Xiu also continued to recite the sacrificial words.
After a while, Elusa arrived with Lucy, followed by Grey Windy and Charlot.
"This is?" the rest of the people who had just arrived also looked at Qin Xiu's movements suspiciously.
"Shhhh
"Sacrifice to the undead?" Ai Lusha was stunned for a moment, looking at Qin Xiu's serious back, and understood that she couldn't be disturbed at this time.
Everyone also waited quietly, and it wasn't until everyone waited for more than half an hour that Qin Xiu's raised hand was put down.
When everyone saw it, they immediately walked over, Qin Xiu slowly stood up, Mi Lazhen immediately planned to support Qin Xiu, kneeling for so long, thinking that Qin Xiu's feet would be numb, but Qin Xiu just supported Mi Lazhen's hand for a while, and seemed to recover.
"I'm fine...... Qin Xiu said, Mirazhen continued to support Qin Xiu with some disbelief.
"Thank you for your concern, but I'm okay now, and I remember all the things that happened eleven years ago," Qin Xiu said slowly.
Everyone was immediately pleasantly surprised, "Really? So Ah Xiu is back to normal...... Gray said in surprise.
"What you said, Ah Xiu is normal, it's just a little bit of memory" Elusa kicked Gray viciously.
"So what happened here eleven years ago, how could a forest have been formed overnight?" Xia Lulu smelled.
"The reason for all this is also because of me, and it is because of me that I pray to the undead in the village to forgive my sins," Qin Xiu said slowly.
Everyone was stunned: "Sin?"
"En" Qin Xiu nodded slightly, slightly broke away from Mirazhen's support, and turned to look at the building behind him.
"The person who ruined the entire village was not the demon that my brother said, but my ......," Qin Xiu said slowly.
"What?" the crowd was even more stunned.
"While destroying the entire village, the rest of the village was also killed by me, which is why I knelt in front of the church and begged for forgiveness from the undead in the village," Qin Xiu said slowly again.
However, this made everyone stupid.
"How could it be that you did it, Ashu?" said Lucy, surprised.
"Last time you also heard my brother's explanation, my brother only told half of the truth, that night my parents were brutally killed by those two people who called themselves demons in front of this church, my brother wanted to avenge his parents and attacked the man, but my brother who didn't have any power was directly knocked to the ground, thinking that my brother was also dead, I wanted to rescue my brother, and by mistake awakened the magic with my own wishes, that is, my current magic life flame, through the power of life flame I killed the two people who killed my parents, but after awakening the magic, the magic in nature continued to enter my body, With my weak body at that time, I couldn't support so much magic power at all, so the magic power broke through my entire body and dispersed around me, that is, this power killed the other people in the village, and I think this forest was formed because of this," Qin Xiu said slowly.
"The magic that dissipated from your body formed the Forest of Miracles?oh my God, what was the huge amount of magic in your body at that time," Xia Lulu was dumbfounded.
"Such a huge amount of magic burst out of the body and survived, this is the power of the flame of life......" Lucy muttered in disbelief.
"Well, if it weren't for this power, I'm afraid I would have died in that time," Qin Xiu nodded slightly and said.
"Then why is Ashu's mana so low now?" Natsu wondered.
"Stupid, if there is still magic in Ah Xiu's body after that time, then the magic will definitely break through Ah Xiu's body again," Gray scolded.
"Well, it's my luck, although there is no magic in my body, but I survived, but because there is no magic in my body, the repair work of the flame of life on my body has also been maintained for an extremely long time, I think this is the reason why I have amnesia from time to time" Qin Xiu said.
"That's why your magic is constantly improving, Axiu, isn't it?" asked Mirajan.
"Well, as my body gradually returns to normal, my magic power will continue to increase" Qin Xiu nodded slightly.
"So, Ashu's magic strength will get stronger and stronger," Natsu seemed to remember something, and became excited.
"Hey, Natsu, you don't want to fight with Ashu with that expression, do you?" Habi saw Natsu's expression and asked, "Don't forget, Natsu you lost to Ashu"
"It's just that the physical technique is lost, and the magic will definitely not," Natsu said unconcernedly.
"And we have never used magic to fight with Ah Xiu, it's Ah Xiu who is too cunning" Suddenly Natsu shouted and stared at Qin Xiu.
"Ah Xiu, let's try it again now, it's magic" Natsu's expression quickly changed to excitement again.
"The face is getting so fast......," Lucy spitted speechlessly.
As soon as Lucy's words were finished, a fist slammed into Natsu's head, instantly knocking Natsu to the ground, "You idiot, don't you fight on any occasion?" Elusa yelled at Natsu, which startled countless birds.
"I'm not in the mood to compete with you or anything now, Natsu, I have to repeat the sacrifice just now twice," Qin Xiu nodded and said.
"Love......" Natsu shouted as she fell to the ground in disgrace.
"Let's rest here for a long time, and then we can go back when my sacrifice is over......," Qin Xiu said as he looked at everyone.
"Yes," everyone nodded.
"Thank you...... said," Qin Xiu said with a bow to everyone.
Natsu stood up at this time and laughed, "Thank you, it's all family."
"That's what you said......" Qin Xiu also smiled slightly.
"However, after Ah Xiu goes back, we have to come here to try it, I would like to know how much your strength has improved after recovering your memory compared to before?" Natsu clenched his fists and said excitedly, "Don't just use physical skills."
"Strength is not for fighting, Natsu, you understand better than me, the power of the magician is for protection, I didn't understand it before, but I only understood it after remembering the past" Qin Xiu said softly, Natsu was stunned when he heard it.
Looking at Mira Jane, who had been silent beside her, "Mira, Lucy, Elusa, Natsu, Gray, Wendy, Harpy, Xia Lulu, and every partner in the union, you are all my guardians," Qin Xiu said.
After hearing Qin Xiu's words, everyone glanced at each other and laughed, "Me too," everyone laughed in unison.
"That's right," Qin Xiu also laughed, "However, Natsu, with your character, if I don't agree to you, I'm afraid I won't have a quiet day, although I don't like to fight very much, but it's okay to compete" Qin Xiu looked at Natsu and said.
"I knew Ashu you'd say yes," Natsu laughed.
"Let's talk about this after I go back, next time the physical magic will be together" Qin Xiu turned around and walked towards a small open space in front of the church, and after taking a step or two, he turned his head to look at Natsu and smiled, "I won't use the flame of life, only the magic of the shape of fire, but be careful of losing"
"I'm burning, I can finally compete with Ashu's fire-shaped magic," Natsu excited.
Qin Xiu didn't care about the aftermath anymore, he knelt on the ground again and began to chant the words of the undead to pray for the forgiveness of the villagers who had been killed by him unintentionally.
"I don't like to be high and low among my peers, but I'm looking forward to it this time," Lucy said with some excitement.
"I remember someone saying that not long ago," Harpy said suddenly.
"Do you remember that you always said that you were a cat with a bad memory?" Lucy spat out to Harpy.
"I said I was a cat, and I still cared about it," Harpy said helplessly.
"Who's the problem," Lucy exclaimed.
"Lucy, be quiet, Ashu is doing the sacrificial ......," Mirajan reminded.
When Lucy heard this, she suddenly fell silent, and glared at Harpy viciously, "It's all because of your ......"
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb your quiet," Lucy bowed to the air around her, and Mirajan and the others shivered.
"If you have the heart to apologize, you can follow me to recite the words of the undead," Qin Xiu's voice sounded.
"But I don't know how to sleep for the undead?" said Lucy after hearing this, looking at Qin Xiu's kneeling figure.
"I can teach you that the word of undead sleep is a sacrificial word used to sacrifice the undead in ancient times, this is a very distant belief...... Qin Xiu said again.
"Ancient sacrifices to the dead, Ah Xiu, teach me," Mirajan said as she suddenly remembered something.
Qin Xiu turned his head slightly to look at Mi Lazhen's expression, and quickly remembered why Mi Lazhen wanted to learn this, "Well, as long as you are willing to learn, I will teach."
Mirajan immediately stepped forward and knelt beside Qin Xiu, just as Mirazhen also stretched out her hand to the sky, Lucy also knelt on Qin Xiu's other side and stretched out her hand to the sky.
"I want to learn too, and I'm going to sacrifice my dead mother...... Lucy said.
"It's all the same, but you two don't have to kneel, I kneel because I'm guilty," Qin Xiu said.
"Uh......" Mirajane and Lucy were stunned for a moment, and then immediately relieved.
"Since we've already knelt down, let's go together, and let us bear some of your sins," Mirajan said.
"Yes," Lucy nodded.
"Come on too, Brother Ashu didn't mean to let me share a little, and I also want to sacrifice the ancient method of sacrificing the dead for the president of my former union, Robin Lu," Wendy said as she knelt next to Lucy.
"In that case, let's accompany Ah Xiu once in this second round of sacrifices, and all of us will bear half of Ah Xiu's sins," Elusa said, and then knelt down, but half-kneeling.
Then Natsu and Gray also followed Elusa to half-kneel, even Harpy and Xia Lulu, which meant that they were willing to bear half of Qin Xiu's sins.
Qin Xiu looked at everyone's actions, and his heart couldn't help but tremble, "Thank you."
Everyone laughed softly and raised their hands towards the sky.
"Let's read it to me," Qin Xiu turned his head and closed his eyes.
"Today is like the past, like the scene of the day"
"Today is like the past, like the scene of the day"
"But people and things go, time flies away"
"But people and things go, time flies away"
"It is no longer the state of the past, and now you are the prayer of God"
"It is no longer the state of the past, and now you are the prayer of God"
"May your sacrifice be fulfilled"
"May your sacrifice be fulfilled"
