The air all around them fell silent, and there was silence around the Sacred Tree, and there was not the slightest movement to be heard.

Kitagawa Temple and Ihui Juxu hid behind the Sacred Tree and did not say a word.

I don't know where Ihanaroku is, and it hasn't even appeared yet.

"Why is it so slow?" Yi Huiju muttered quietly.

She and Kitagawa Temple are indeed progressing a little faster, but Ihanaroku is not so slow.

As if hearing her muttering, Kitagawa Temple turned his head and glanced at Yi Hui.

"I'm sorry, Master Kitagawa."

Although I didn't understand what I had done wrong, I wanted to apologize when I felt the sight of Beichuan Temple.

"I didn't mean to reproach you." Beichuan Temple replied casually, and then asked, "How long is it until twelve o'clock?" ”

Yi Hui subconsciously glanced at the small and delicate hourglass he was holding in his hand.

Only the last quarter of the hourglass sand remained.

"Looks like there's only two or three hours left." She replied thoughtfully.

After receiving the answer, Beichuan Temple also nodded, and did not mean to continue to talk.

Rather than caring about time, Beichuan Temple gently stroked the thick tree, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

From this sacred tree, Kitagawa Temple felt that there was an indescribable vitality hidden in it.

And underneath this vibrancy... But it's a very different feeling.

The cold, rancid, lifeless breath stirred in the ground and beneath the ground.

Maybe this is the effect of the Wood of the Gods suppressing the Gate of the Yellow Springs, and those rancid, lifeless breaths flow very slowly.

But this is only a superficial calm, and according to Ihanaroku, if the Wood of the Gods is not awakened today, everything will be over.

Seeing that Beichuan Temple was fascinated, Yi Hui Juxu on the other side also asked appropriately: "Is Master Beichuan thinking about how to suppress the Gate of Huangquan?" ”

After hearing Yi Hui's question, Kitagawa Temple shook his head, and then reached out and patted the Wood of the Imperial God.

After a long while, he said slowly:

"I'm wondering what it would be like to cut down the Sacred Tree."

Yi Hui Juxu stood next to Beichuan Temple, tilting his head with a smile on his face: "Hey? ”

Kitagawa Temple glanced at her and said again, "I want to try to cut down the Wood of the Imperial God." ”

"Huh?" Yi Hui blinked as if he hadn't reacted, and tilted his head again.

She looked at Kitagawa Temple, and Kitagawa Temple also looked at her seriously.

After about three minutes, Yi Hui's voice trembled: "You, you're joking, right?" Master Kitagawa. ”

That's not a funny joke.

Cut down the Sacred Wood that has been passed down for generations to protect the island of Izhin? It's too...

"Do you think I'm joking?" Kitagawa Temple asked rhetorically.

Goo.

Yi Hanju swallowed and shook his head silently.

Kitagawa Temple's expression really didn't look like a joke.

"But there is no point in cutting down the Tree of the Imperial Gods, it will make us lose the means to defend against the Gate of the Yellow Springs."

The corners of Yi Hui's mouth twitched and replied.

Beichuan Temple asked rhetorically with a flat expression:

"Do you really think so?"

Do you really think so...?

This sentence seemed to confuse Yi Huiju's question.

If the Wood of the Gods, the most important 'pillar' of the gate to suppress the Yellow Spring, were to be cut down by Kitagawa Temple, there would be no doubt that the desolate things would sweep across the entire Ishiro Island.

Just as Yi Hui Juxu was about to say a few more words, he saw Beichuan Temple suddenly raise a finger and whispered: "Quiet, someone is coming." ”

Someone's coming?!

Yi Hui's expression tightened, and he turned to look at the entrance gate.

Silence returned to the surroundings.

After about two minutes, Ihanaroku finally appeared at the door.

She was only half of her body left, and the spirit glowed faintly.

Even Yi Hui Juxu could see at a glance that the other party's current spirit state was extremely poor.

Abandoning that half of the spirit body seems to have made her vitality greatly damaged.

Behind such an Ihana Raku, there is a short figure.

Yi Huiguang dwells.

As soon as he saw his sister, Yi Hui's eyes shrank.

She didn't make a sound, just glanced up and down at Yi Huiguang's residence.

OK.

It seems that Ihanaroku also knows how to treat the sacrifice of Ihiko Residence, so there is basically no scar on the body of Illumin Residence.

As soon as he arrived at the Wood of the Gods, Ihanaroku glanced at the surroundings and couldn't help but laugh out loud after not discovering the Kitagawa Temple:

"I'm one step ahead of Kitagawa! Hahahaha! ”

She laughed wildly, a distorted smile on her otherwise good face.

Everything was as she expected, Beichuan Temple had not arrived here yet, and she was one step ahead of Beichuan Temple after all.

That's right.

Presumably, the earth spirits in the five trials are temporarily dragging down Beichuan Temple, right?

"Beichuan, your ability is indeed much stronger than I thought, but even you, there is no chance of turning the tables at all now, right? The long-cherished wish of my I'm here! Now it's all up to me, Ihanaraku. ”

Yi Yan Nara's expression was half satisfied, and nine points of fanaticism.

She pulled Yi Huiguang up and looked at the other party's frightened expression, a rare flash of unbearability in her eyes.

Yi Hui Guang lives, Yi Hui lives in the void.

These two girls are the Ihan witches she raised single-handedly.

In other words, she and Yi Huiguang live in the relationship, and Yi Hui lives in the void is also a teacher and a parent.

And now, she is going to sacrifice a daughter with her own hands...

Ihanaraku's palms trembled.

Such... Is it really worth it?

"......" Ihana turned her head wordlessly and looked at the Wood of the Gods.

If it drags on any longer, Kitagawa Temple should be rushing over.

It can't be dragged on any longer.

Then there's only one thing to do.

Ihanaroku held out her hand.

Stretching out to the neck where Yi Huiguang was dwelling—

Boom!!!!

Ihana fell half of her body and was knocked back.

"Kitagawa?" Ihanaroku, who had managed to stabilize in mid-air, widened her eyes in shock.

Kitagawa Temple has always been there?

"Impossible, how can you be so fast...? And I'm supposed to be on Juxu..."Ihanaraku's complexion fluctuated violently, and the aura of the spirit body dimmed even more.

"The mark of surveillance has been removed." Kitagawa Temple answers Ihanaraku's questions.

And hearing Beichuan Temple's words, Yi Yan Nara's violently fluctuating face gradually calmed down:

“... Yes. The mark was removed. ”

She muttered to herself.

This is indeed the style of Kitagawa Temple...

No... Wrong.

From the very beginning, Yi Hui Juxu and Yi Hui Guang have already communicated with Beichuan Temple... They weren't going to be living sacrifices in the first place.

But—

"I know it all!"

A twisted smile flashed across Ihanaroku's face.

She simply stretched out her hand and aimed at Yi Hui Juxu and Yi Hui Guang!

"Beichuan, do you think I don't know about your secret communication? I actually know it all! ”

As these words fell, Yi Huiguang and Yi Hui's eyes gradually lost their luster.

At the same time, the two of them flashed with cloudy thoughts of the same nature as Ihanaraku.

This is the back hand of Ihanaluo!

Twenty years ago, she had fully learned her lesson after experiencing the betrayal of Ihan Miko.

The Yi Hui Guang and Yi Hui Juxu who have been cultivated by her have actually left more than one of her own good thoughts on her body.

There is one kind of surveillance, and the other is the manipulation of the action!

This is the ability that she has hidden and never shown in the more than ten years of cultivating these two shrine maidens.

Therefore, it is impossible for Yi Huiguang to know about this matter with Yi Huiguang's residence.

Since the Yihan sisters don't know, it's impossible for Beichuan Temple to know.

Ihanaroku finally has the feeling that he is about to win back a city in Kitagawa Temple.

But the next moment—

Good thoughts are extinguished.

Sen Ran's dead air floated.

Yi Hui Guang lived in the void and Yi Hui gradually regained his senses.

"I guessed it a long time ago... But that's not the case. Kitagawa Temple spoke in a calm tone.

This time, the dead air left by Beichuan Temple was completely left out of insurance.

In fact, he has always been wary of Yi Hui Juxu and Yi Hui Guang Ju , and he has also assumed that these two people may be deceiving him.

Therefore, he left a dead breath on these two people, and he can be regarded as guarding against the betrayal of these two people.

But who would have thought?

Kitagawa Temple was just a casual move, but it disintegrated the biggest backhand left by Ihan Naraku.

It can only be said that timing, luck, and ability, none of which are on the side of Ihanairaku.

After listening to all the explanations of Kitagawa Temple, Ihan Naraku fell to the ground completely soft.

Her eyes were hollow, her mouth was open, and she couldn't even make a sound.

It's too desperate.

That was her last retreat.

But even this hand...

This is too unreasonable.

"Kitagawa..."

Ihana Naro muttered the name, and there was only regret in her heart.

Bringing it to Kitagawa Temple was really the biggest mistake she had ever made.

Ihanaroku gave up the struggle completely.

There is no way.

Even if she turns into a resentful spirit now because of her obsession, it is impossible for her to beat Beichuan Temple.

Not to mention... As a resentful spirit, it is impossible to enter the Wood of the Gods and turn all the islanders into celestials.

But...

"Anyway... Even if the islanders can't be humanized. The Wood of the Gods still needs a living sacrifice. ”

Ihana said with a dead heart.

The Wood of the Gods awakens the blood of the Shrine Maiden and the spirit of the Shrine Maiden herself to enter the Wood of the Gods.

Ihanaroku's original plan was to use the blood of the Ihan shrine maiden to build a bridge between her and the Wood of the Gods, and then replace the spirit of the shrine maidens who were supposed to enter the Wood of the Gods, and enter the Wood of the Gods herself, so as to master the Wood of the Gods.

But now that her spirit body is so weak, it is actually impossible to master the Wood of the Gods.

She looked weakly at Yi Huiguang and Yi Hui: "In other words, you still have to choose one person to be a living sacrifice in the light or void... But with this method of sacrifice... The chosen shrine maidens will also become celestials, and there will be no place for even the spirit body. ”

This is also a win-win ending in an alternative sense.

One of them is just losing their bodies, and they can still survive as the celestials of Ihan Island.

“... It's up to me. Yi Hui stood up.

She looked at Kitagawa Temple and Ihan Naraku, and then looked back at her sister:

"I'm undoubtedly the safest, she's still young now, and she can't bear the weight of the Imperial Wood at all."

Yi Huijuxu's words are undoubtedly justified.

As she said.

Compared to Yi Huiguang's residence, she is a little older, and her years as a shrine maiden are a little longer, and there is absolutely no problem in entrusting her with the task of awakening the Wood of the Gods.

Step by step, she walked towards the Tree of the Gods.

The weight of the Wood of the Gods... That is the weight of a long-standing folkloric ritual that has been handed down ... The weight of Ihan Island has been passed down from generation to generation.

Yi Hui walked slowly among the many humanoid generations.

Then she pulled a shiny dagger from her bosom.

The dagger reflected her face.

Above-

With a smile!?

Under the gaze of Yi Hui Naluo and Yi Hui Guang.

Yi Hui raised his dagger in the air and stabbed it at his abdomen.

A ritual to awaken the Wood of the Gods... It's almost done!

But the next moment—

Sen Ran's dead breath slammed the dagger in her hand.

Even the body that carried her fell to the ground in disgrace.

This sudden change made everyone stunned.

Yi Hui was completely stunned.

The momentum of death was so strong that her palms were sore and trembling.

"Master Kitagawa?!"

She turned her head in confusion and looked at Beichuan Temple.

And at this moment, Yi Huiguang was also knocked to the ground by Beichuan Temple.

Beichuan Temple did not pay attention to Yi Hui's doubts, but took out the same dagger from Yi Huiguang's arms who fell to the ground with a flat face.

As soon as he saw Kitagawa Temple take out another dagger from his sister's arms, Yi Hui's face turned pale.

She hurriedly stood up, her head on the huge Sacred Wood and about to crash into it!

The dead thread was pulled up again.

Her body was completely pulled by Kitagawa Temple.

"When?!"

Yi Hui's face was full of incredulity, and then he turned his head to look at Yi Huiguang.

The other party is also the same as her, and has long been entangled in the body of death and can't move.

Did you even think about the light living there?

She was shocked.

And just when she was full of surprise, Beichuan Temple's cold tone sounded in Yi Huijuxu's ears:

"I said it before. To watch out for the two of you, I left a dead breath on you. ”

Beichuan Temple tugged at the dead air that had turned into shape between his fingers, and asked with an extraordinarily calm face:

"When did you two get to have the idea of 'I already trust you two completely'?"

Yes.

From the very beginning, Kitagawa Temple did not believe in the people of Ihan Island.

Ihanaroku... Or Yi Huiguang lives in the void, and Yi Hui lives in the void, they are just the tool people who brought him here... No, it's just a guide.

The person who is truly trustworthy should be -

Kitagawa Temple patted his neckline and patted Kagura Bell again.

The little puppet jumped up and stood on the head of Kitagawa Temple.

Kagura bell shines brightly, and the jinju maki-e wearing the twin shrine maidens costumes of the god village town soul also floats out.

That's all he believes.
