Chapter 502. The Hidden and the Present (2) (2nd Update!)
Faced with Beichuan Temple's question, Mu Chi Zhenshi did not hesitate much, she replied frankly:
"As I said before, Mu Chi Wunu is the one who communicates with Huangquan... That is, the key to the present world and the hidden world, which is also the use of the witch of Mu Chi. ”
"And such an important person... In our Mu Chi family, the status is naturally very high. ”
“... Yes. ”
Beichuan Temple glanced at Mu Chi Zhenshi, and found that she didn't mean to lie, so she continued to ask: "Serve as the key to the present world and the hidden world, so what about after that?" What about after opening the Yellow Spring? Will the witch of Mu Chi still survive? ”
Yes... This is the most important thing that Kitagawa Temple wants to ask.
What does it cost to open the gates of Yellow Springs?
Could it be the life of the witch of Mu Chi?
Beichuan Temple looked at Mu Chi Zhenshi seriously.
Being watched by his gaze, for some reason, Mu Chi Zhenshi was a little scared.
She took two steps back, and then replied, "Mu Chi Witch will not die like this just by opening the gate of the Yellow Spring, after all, she is the main cultivator of the Mu Chi family, how can she die just by opening the entrance to the hidden world?" To cultivate this kind of disposable products that open the door to the Yellow Spring, it is not so troublesome. ”
"Really?"
Beichuan Temple was not relieved by Mu Chi Zhenshi's answer, and he continued to ask:
"What about opening the gate of Yellow Springs? What will Mu Chi Wunu do after opening the gate of Yellow Springs? ”
"I don't know." Mu Chi Zhenshi raised his head: "Maybe you can't believe that I, as the head of the family, don't know what happened next... But in reality it is true. ”
Mu Chi Zhenshi shook his head and continued: "Because the current Mu Chi family... It's not the real Mu Chi family. ”
This is really a wave of unsettled.
The head of the Mu Chi family didn't know what happened after entering the gate of Huangquan.
The Mu Chi family is not the real Mu Chi family...
These enigmatic words made Beichuan Temple can't help but raise an eyebrow.
"The reason why I say that the Mu Chi family is no longer the Mu Chi family is because the current Mu Chi family was established on the basis of the separation of the Mu Chi family."
Mu Chi Zhenshi gave the reason.
"In other words, the current Mu Chi family is actually the product of the combination of 'own family' and 'separate family'. Mr. Beichuan also knows that not only the Mu Chi family, but also many families will always establish a branch to deal with external affairs. ”
"I know that."
Beichuan Temple nodded, affirming Mu Chi Zhenshi's statement.
Whether it's the Divine Village, the Isan Island, or the Sinomiya Family... They would always set up a stronghold outside to avoid the consequences of being exterminated after the suppression of Huangquan.
"Since Mr. Kitagawa knows, it is natural that he will also know that there are some things that the family will never tell the split... Although I am a member of Mu Chi's family, I was still young at the time of the ceremony... When the family took emergency refuge, they brought us of the younger generation to the Mu Chi family. ”
Yes.
Mu Chi Zhenshi is actually Mu Chi's own family, and on the day of the ceremony, they were actually transferred to Mu Chi's family.
This is also a form of insurance.
lest the failure of the final ritual directly lead to the death of all the clansmen of the Mu Chi family.
"There are secrets about the ceremony, which are particularly confidential in Mu Chi's own family, and even the parents who brought me out don't know the specific details."
"......" Kitagawa Temple.
After all, this is a matter about the whole clan, and it is natural that Mu Chi's family will remain silent about some unrelated people.
Leaving Mu Chi in the real world is actually equivalent to leaving the fire of Mu Chi's family.
Until now... There is something about what Mu Chi Witch is going to do when she enters the Yellow Spring... And what exactly are you going to do... These things are still just a mystery, and even Mu Chi Zhenshi can't answer them.
"But there's only one thing you can know."
Mu Chi Zhenshi looked at Beichuan Temple, gritted his teeth, and still said:
"That's... None of the people who entered the Yellow Spring could come back again. ”
Yes... Although there is no specific process to tell, after entering the Yellow Spring, did Mu Chi Wunu come back? This is still very clear to Mu Chi Zhenshi.
After all, Mu Chi Wunu has been in charge of the ritual activities in the family for a long time, and she still hasn't come back, and she is alive or not... She still knows this.
"......" Kitagawa Temple.
None of the witches who entered the Yellow Spring returned to the present world...
Beichuan Temple turned his head sideways and glanced deeply at Mu Chi Zhenshi.
This woman in her twenties, although she is still trying her best to maintain elegance and calmness, in fact, her face has turned pale, and her voice is a little distorted.
Is she afraid...? Or are you thinking about something else?
Kitagawa Temple approached with the same expression.
Looking at Mu Chi Zhenshi's face, he said expressionlessly: "To be honest, I'm actually a little curious. ”
"Curious?" Mu Chi Zhenshi subconsciously answered.
"Yes, I'm curious."
The head of Kitagawa Temple.
"Actually, you don't have to tell me that 'none of the Mu Chi witches who went to Huangquan have returned'... Because this will only increase the chances of me returning to Tokyo with my future, and it will cause the Mu Chi family to leave the Mu Chi witch that you have been looking for..."
Yes, after learning that Kamiya may die in the Yellow Springs in the future, will Beichuan Temple go to the Yellow Springs again?
You don't have to think about it to get the answer.
"But you told me about it anyway."
Beichuan Temple looked at Mu Chi Zhenshi, and his voice did not change for half a minute.
"What are you trying to do... Or what are you thinking? I and the future leave Kagoshima Prefecture to you... Or what is the benefit to Mu Chi's family? ”
Kitagawa Temple is indeed curious.
If suppressing Huangquan is the mission of the Mu Chi family, then they should spare no effort to trick Beichuan Temple and Kamiya into going to Huangquan in the future, but why does Mu Chi Zhenshi want them to leave Kagoshima Prefecture?
There are more and more puzzles.
"......" Mu Chi Zhenshi.
Really... The young man in front of him reacted quickly, and in an instant he sensed the unnaturalness in her words.
Thinking of this, Mu Chi Zhenshi no longer hesitated, and she pulled down the sleeves of her kimono.
The snow-white and pink arms are thus displayed in front of Kitagawa Temple.
But Kitagawa Temple didn't have the heart to admire her arm at all... Until then, Kitagawaji's gaze had been drawn to the crimson totem on her wrist.
That's not so much a totem... It's more like an imprint.
The mark lingers irregularly around the wrist like a tattoo, and the flowing red thread paints an eerie image that looks like a human being, but when you look closely, you find that this image is far from human.
"It's a human-like thing but it's not human..."Beichuan Temple's black eyes flashed with a glimmer of brilliance.
Isn't this exactly what Kamiya Mirai is talking about?
Originally, I thought that only Mu Chi Wu Maiden would have such a mark, but it turned out that Mu Chi Zhenshi also had such a mark?
Mu Chi Zhenshi didn't care about the change in Beichuan Temple's gaze, she just looked at the mark on her wrist with a slightly numb gaze, and said in a steady voice:
"This mark is called 'Zhu Zhiyin', a mark that has been passed down from generation to generation by Mu Chi's family. As long as there is the blood of Mu Chi's own family flowing in his body and he is twenty years old... This mark will naturally emerge. ”
"People with such imprints will naturally have good thoughts without exercising, and their interpretation of the traces and residual thoughts of resentful spirits will be stronger than ordinary people. This is also the origin of the title of 'Zhu Zhiyin' and the important reason why the Mu Chi family can maintain the balance between the present world and the hidden world. ”
Beichuan Temple was not in a hurry to make a statement, because looking at Mu Chi Zhenshi's appearance, there should be some reversal after this.
Sure enough, under the gaze of Beichuan Temple, Mu Chi Zhenshi said the following words:
"I think Mr. Kitagawa has already noticed it... This seemingly free ability actually has a big problem behind it. ”
Mu Chi Zhenshi looked at Beichuan Temple:
"That's... The vitality of the person will gradually be absorbed by this vermilion imprint, and every time the vitality is absorbed, the stronger the good thoughts will become... In the end, the human body completely loses its vitality... The body will gradually turn gray, decay, deform... In the end, they become mere dead corpses... And at that time, no matter how powerful the good thoughts are, it will not be half useful. ”
Mu Chi Zhenshi looked at the seal of Zhu on his wrist.
"At first, it was just a small red spot, but after a day, it spreads... One more day... One more day... Until all arms are covered by the cursed scarlet seal..."
"If Miss Mu Chi said this, Mu Chi's family would not have been inherited for so long. So there should be some kind of mitigation. ”
Asamiya Yongshi behind him spoke appropriately.
As she said, the Mu Chi family should have some kind of way to inhibit the growth of this kind of 'Zhu Zhiyin', otherwise the Mu Chi family should have been wiped out a long time ago.
"This young lady reacts very quickly."
Mu Chi Zhenshi nodded, and he didn't have the idea of pretending to be a ghost and hiding it:
"This method of suppressing Zhu Zhiyin is hidden in Mu Chi's own family, but as mentioned earlier, the ritual has failed, and the Mu Chi family, which has completely become a place to bind souls, is no longer a place we can step into."
"A place for the souls?" Beichuan Temple knocked on the table and asked, "Is what Soul Binding is talking about 'Spirit Domain'?" ”
He had already heard Mu Chi Zhenshi say this term two or three times, could this be an advanced version of the word 'Spirit Domain'?
"It's similar to the meaning of the spiritual realm, but in fact, the resentful spirits inside are even more ferocious... It is also more difficult to solve, and until now there is still a miasma leaking from the Yellow Spring, and ordinary people simply cannot survive in that environment. ”
Mu Chi Zhenshi took a deep breath:
"The people of our own family have also organized many people to enter Mu Chi's own family, but in fact, there are not many who can come out. This is also for this reason when looking for the witch of Mu Chi... We want to use the power of the witch to enter the house of Mu Chi to find out. ”
This is where Mu Chi Zhenshi is helpless.
Whether it is to enter Mu Chi's house or leave Mu Chi's house, the final result is just death... In this case, there are naturally many Mu Chi's family members who choose to die in the separation of families and are unwilling to take risks.
And finally now...
"The entire Mu Chi family... Aside from me, there is only Aunt Qingluo. The surviving Mu Chi family... It's just the two of us. ”
When he said this, Mu Chi Zhenshi's face changed instantly.
She looked a little sad, but also a little indignant.
Why did she become the head of the Mu Chi family when she was only in her twenties?
Why was she a girl chosen to be the head of Mu Chi's family?
That's because... In the entire Mu Chi family, there is no one else except her and Mu Chi Qingluo!
Just looking at her expression, Beichuan Temple actually already knew.
Mu Chi Zhenshi's parents are estimated to have died because they went to Mu Chi's house to find a solution to Zhu Zhiyin.
But even so... Kitagawa Temple also still has doubts.
Because of what Mu Chi Zhenshi just said... There are the most critical vulnerabilities inside.
"Although I'm sorry to interrupt Miss Mu Chi's thinking at such a time, there is one thing I can't figure out."
Beichuan Temple looked at Mu Chi Zhenshi, and then spoke: "Miss Mu Chi also said just now, you were taken away from Mu Chi's house when you were a child, right?" ”
"Not bad." Mu Chi Zhenshi nodded.
"When you were young, the family performed some kind of ritual related to the Yellow Spring, and it failed, which led to the demise of the Mu Chi family... Right? ”
“... That is true. "Mu Chi Zhenshi did not deny it.
Seeing that Mu Chi Zhenshi did not deny it, Beichuan Temple continued to ask:
"So after the collapse of Mu Chi's family... You, as well as your aunt Mu Chi Qingluo, naturally lost the means to suppress Zhu Zhiyin, right? ”
"Hmm."
Mu Chi Zhenshi seems to have understood what Beichuan Temple wants to ask.
Kitagawa glanced at the mark on her wrist and continued
"The mark on your wrist will take shape when you are twenty years old. And absorb the life force... If Miss Mu Chi is young and strong, there is still excess vitality to provide her absorption... That makes sense. But your aunt Mu Chi Qingluo is already in her thirties, even if Zhu Zhiyin absorbs life force slowly, he shouldn't absorb it for more than ten years, right? ”
Yes.
This is the biggest loophole in what Mu Chi Zhenshi just said.
The Zhu Zhiyin on her wrist is easy to explain, after all, she is very young and looks healthy, and it is reasonable to be able to withstand Zhu Zhiyin to absorb vitality.
But what about Mu Chi Qingluo?
She's in her thirties now! According to the standard of twenty years old, she has been absorbed by Zhu Zhiyin for more than ten years.
Why hasn't she died yet?
Not even to mention dying, when Beichuan Temple saw her, she could still run, jump, talk, and eat, and she didn't look weak at all.
And most importantly, there is one more important point.
Why does Mu Chi Mayo want Kitagawa Temple and Kamiya to leave Mu Chi's family in the future... That's what matters most.
What is the black kimono woman in front of her thinking?
What kind of connection is there between the Mu Chi family and the hidden world...?
In any case, these are all things that Kitagawa Temple wants to know.
"......'Mu Chi Zhenshi.
Looking at the Beichuan Temple who asked questions, Mu Chi really shone with admiration in his life.
This Kitagawa Temple... It's really old-fashioned.
It's no wonder that he has been in contact with Huangquan so many times, and he hasn't died because of it.
