Chapter 518. Minority vs. Majority (8000 Words Goal Achieved)
It is simply impossible to get Beichuan Temple to give up destroying the Zhu Saki array.
He will only do what he thinks is right.
Seeing the unchanged expression on Beichuan Temple's face, Mu Chi Hotaruza sighed a little.
In fact, Mu Chi Hotaruza has been thinking about it for the past few years.
If more than ten years ago, in the matter of the coffin pillar, she and her brother were a little tougher... Will the outcome change?
Wouldn't it have led to so many things happening in the end?
These things are actually not clear until now.
Just looking at Beichuan Temple, which was so persistent, she thought of what happened to her before.
"If this is a decision made by Mijin-sama... Then I can only respect your decision..."
Mu Chi Hotaruza said with a calm gaze.
"Oh? Won't you stop me? ”
Kitagawa Temple looked at Mu Chi Hotaruzuka.
He didn't expect that Mu Chi Hotaruza would give up persuading him at this time.
According to his thoughts, Mu Chi Hotaruza should take all means to let him go to the balance between the present world and the hidden world.
"There's no point in stopping you, if you want to destroy Zhu Saki's array, then no amount of me will be of no avail. And... I have been left in this dungeon for the sole purpose of welcoming you. As for making a choice, that's your business. ”
Mu Chi Hotaruzuka raised his head and said with a smile:
"Speaking of which, I haven't told you what the purpose of the ritual of sacrifice and sacrifice is really there, have I?"
It's finally time for the main event.
The gods stationed in Maki-e, Asamiya Eyo, and Nishikujo were all in good spirits.
Yes, why did the Mu Chi family spend so much money to pull a certain existence out of the present world and the hidden world? What is the purpose of the ritual of sacrifice and burial?
Under their gaze, Mu Chi Hotaruzuka slowly said the reason:
"Because Mu Chi's family is tired."
"Huh?!"
Kamiju Makie scratched his head in some confusion.
This... What is this operation?
Mu Chi's family is tired?
What is this?
"As I said, the Mu Chi family is tired..."
Mu Chi Hotaru nodded and said:
"No one wants to live a life of fear all the time, including the Mu Chi family, who has always been responsible for stabilizing the present world and the hidden world. Constant human sacrifices, the physically and mentally exhausted Mu Chi's family... These should all be recorded in the above volume of Mu Chi's documents, right? ”
Not...
After Mu Chi Hotaru mentioned this, they really remembered that there was indeed such a record in the pale volume of Mu Chi's book-
At that time, the long-cherished wish of the Mu Chi clan that haunted me will also come to an end. ’
'For the sake of seclusion and this world, my clan has given too much, and now it is even more powerless. ’
'The fate of the Mu Chi witch who has been sacrificed for generations... This is the end of it. ’
If the ritual fails, it must also be the intention of the heavens, and the Mu Chi clan is powerless. ’
'But now that you've discovered it... Then the ceremony was successful, please go to the dungeon... Together with the daughter of the born. ’
What kind of mood did the priest or the head of the family who wrote this document have?
Look at the text above... I guess I breathed a sigh of relief.
Because there is no need to pay the price of the death of the clan for these inexplicable human pillar ceremonies.
"Mikami, this task can only be left to the two of us."
Mu Chi Hotaruzuka looked at Beichuan Temple.
The sad expression that had been hanging on his face faded, and Mu Chi Hotaruza said solemnly: "Because of your choice, the next road will be much more difficult. ”
“... You continue. Kitagawa Temple motioned for her to continue.
"Since you can get the paperwork, then you should also get the spirit pendant."
"That's what you're talking about?" Kitagawa Temple took out the spirit pendant that exuded vermilion brilliance on the surface.
He has always carried this spirit pendant with him, after all, it is something placed next to Mu Chi's paperwork, no matter how he thinks about it, it can't be an ordinary item.
"Yes, this spirit pendant is called the Imperial God Spirit Pendant, and it is a family treasure that has been handed down since the beginning of the establishment of the Mu Chi family."
Mu Chi Hotaru looked at the Imperial God Spirit Pendant and explained word by word: "It has been worshiped by the Mu Chi family, and it has been from hundreds of years... Even more than a thousand years ago... It has been passed down to the present day. How many good thoughts are contained in it... Even I can't tell. ”
"After that, it was nourished with me for more than ten years by the spiritual tools in the worship hall."
"Ordinary soul killers, resentful spirits, and good spirits are not allowed to be directly touched."
"If you really want to use the good thoughts in it... The torrent of good thoughts will wash the human body to pieces in an instant. ”
"What about the temple-kun...?" Asamiya Eiyo looked sideways at Kitagawa Temple.
"Mijin-sama is special."
Mu Chi Hotaruzuka took a deep look at Beichuan Temple.
Only people who do not belong to the hidden world and the present world can touch the god pendant like this.
Because the other party does not belong to this world, it will not alarm the fluctuations of good thoughts in it.
In the same way, only Beichuan Temple can completely export the good thoughts in it without incident.
This is the most important reason why he is pulled out of the gap between the present and the hidden.
"The reason why there is a relative imbalance between the hidden world and the present world is because the effectiveness of Zhu Saki's array is getting weaker and weaker day by day, and the Imperial Spirit Pendant is placed in the center of Zhu Saki's array, and its good thoughts are used to maintain Zhu Saki's array... In this way, the Yellow Spring can be restored. ”
But—
"This can't solve the problem of Zhu Zhiyin, although there is a suppression of the Imperial Spirit Pendant, but Zhu Saki's array still exists. Perhaps the effect of Zhu Saki's array of absorbing life force will be suppressed a lot, but it adds up... It will only take about ten years for the future lady you are talking about to die. ”
Mu Chi Hotaruza shook his head.
"This is a relatively simple method, and it is also the idea of the Mu Chi family at the beginning."
"In this way, not only does it balance the present world and the hidden world, but it can also extend its own life through the suppressive effect of the god pendant. In the heyday of the Mu Chi family, the effect of absorbing the vitality of Zhu Saki's array was evenly distributed to every Mu Chi clan... Even if the life span is reduced, it will be reduced by a year or two at most. This is also an outcome that they are fully able to accept. ”
But—
"There are not a few descendants left in the current Mu Chi family, so this method can only play a role in balancing the present world and the hidden world, and it will not play much of a buffer role for the remaining Mu Chi family and the future lady."
Mu Chi Hotaruzuka continued: "Then there is the second method. ”
"From the conversation I just had with Mijin-sama, I probably understood... You will definitely choose to destroy Zhu Saki's array. ”
Mu Chi Hotaruzuka's gaze turned to Kitagawa Temple.
"Not bad." Kitagawa Temple does not have the slightest intention of hiding its thoughts.
"Then we have to use the second method."
With a flick of his fingers, the good thoughts that lingered in the stone cave immediately turned regularly.
Under the gaze of Kitagawa Temple, these good thoughts are neatly arranged, and finally form a pattern map of enchantment in the air.
"This is the composition diagram of Zhu Saki's array, and the Mu Chi family has studied it for generations, just to find a way to crack Zhu Zhiyin. Is there a way in this world that can solve Zhu Zhiyin without destroying Zhu Saki's array? ”
“... Impossible. Kitagawa Temple shook his head.
Even a layman like him understands that Zhu Zhiyin's mechanism of absorbing vitality must be a very crucial step in Zhu Saki's array. I want not to destroy Zhu Saki's array, and at the same time to solve Zhu Zhiyin... It's basically impossible to do.
"As Mijin-sama said, this is impossible. There is no such thing as a perfect solution. ”
Mu Chi Hotaruzuka did not deny the words of Beichuan Temple.
Yes, how is it possible in this world to have such the best of both worlds?
"As long as Zhu Saki's array leaves Zhu Zhiyin, this mechanism can't operate freely. It will also collapse quickly as a result. At the same time, the balance between the present and the hidden will be broken in an instant, and this process is irreversible. But—"
Mu Chi Hotaruzuka stretched out a finger and looked seriously: "Since we can't stop the collapse of Zhu Saki's array, can we delay the speed of the collapse of Zhu Saki's array?" ”
"What do you mean... While destroying the mechanism of Zhu Zhiyin, is there any other way to make Zhu Saki's array run for a while longer? ”
The meaning that the other party wanted to express was not difficult to understand, and Beichuan Temple sorted out the context in an instant.
"Not bad. Although it can't prevent the collapse of Zhu Saki's array, the speed of its collapse can be slowed down. ”
Mu Chi Hotaruzuka stretched out his second finger.
"That's a concession I'm willing to give."
She looked at Beichuan Temple: "My duty is to balance the hidden world and the present world, since I can't prevent the Zhu Saki Array from being destroyed by Lord Mijin, then I must let it shine its effect in the last time." ”
"......" Kitagawa Temple.
Mu Chi Hotaruza has indeed made a big concession, and the way she said is indeed very good.
It can not only solve the problem of Zhu Zhiyin, but also delay the speed of the collapse of the balance between the hidden world and the present world.
"How long can it be delayed?"
Kitagawa Temple asked.
"Three years." Mu Chi Hotaruzuka stretched out his third finger: "The speed of collapse can be delayed up to three years later, and during this period, along with the collapse of Zhu Saki's array, supernatural and strange events will become more and more frequent. ”
"Three years is enough."
Kitagawa Temple nodded calmly.
"Uh... Enough ... What does that mean? Mu Chi Hotaruzuka glanced at Beichuan Temple strangely, she didn't quite understand the meaning of Beichuan Temple's words.
“... You seem to look down on humans as a race. Beichuan Temple couldn't help but glance at Mu Chi Hotaruza.
"The three-year buffer is enough for the government to respond and work out how to deal with it."
Yes.
If there is a three-year buffer time, not to mention just a simple way to deal with it, it is estimated that the removal of spirits and exorcism will once again become a new profession.
Suppression of Huangquan's families, shrines, ancient temples... Those who have the ability to exist in these places are expected to step up and solve the problem.
The slow resurgence of the supernatural and the weird for three years can also give time to those who don't understand the situation.
“... Is that so? Listening to the words of Beichuan Temple, Mu Chi Hotaruza was a little stunned.
She had no idea that the outside world had changed so drastically.
In the face of such a developed human civilization, the supernatural, the strange revived... It doesn't seem to be so scared.
"Another point..."Beichuan Temple looked at Mu Chi Hotaruza and said word by word, "In fact, you don't have to worry so much at all. Because of maintaining the balance between the hidden world and the present world, no one has ever stipulated that it is an obligation that the Mu Chi family must fulfill. ”
Yes.
No one has ever forcibly stipulated that the Mu Chi family must pay for human society.
Because the problem between the hidden world and the present world is not at all something that a small family can sort out.
This is not just the Mu Chi family.
The Divine Resident Family, the Sifang Family, the Ma Gong Family, the Yi Hui Family... This is also the case with all kinds of families that suppressed Huangquan.
Carrying everything on himself, so in the end it led to the demise of the family.
When faced with a problem that you can't solve alone... Is it shameful to run away?
"Since it's a problem that you can't solve on your own, it's not shameful to run away. Take it out and let everyone solve it together, that's the real solution. ”
There is never a shame in relying on others.
The spirit of the Mu Chi family and the Shen Zhu family who suppressed Huangquan is indeed commendable, but is their method really correct?
Obviously, this is a problem that the whole of this world should face together.
"But..."Mu Chi Hotaruzuka couldn't refute Beichuan Temple's words.
"Nothing. Miss Mu Chi, you yourself said that the people of Mu Chi's own family are tired, and they are not willing to risk their lives to ease the balance between the present and the hidden world. Do you think they are shameful? ”
"It's... I don't think so. Mu Chi Hotaruzuka shook his head gently.
She looked at the young man in front of her with sparkle in her eyes.
As the other side said.
Who is not afraid of death?
Who wants to die?
Before life and death, everyone has their right to choose.
The Mu Chi people have suppressed Huangquan for more than a thousand years, and even if they give up this work now, who can blame them?
"Carrying the fate of a certain race on your own shoulder... That's impossible. ”
The calm voice of Kitagawa Temple sounded.
Want to rely on the strength of a family or an individual to drag the whole group forward?
That's simply not possible.
"That's why Mijin-sama said what you just said..."
Mu Chi Hotaruzuka thought of the words of Beichuan Temple, 'You seem to be underestimating the human race'.
Don't underestimate the history behind the human race.
The history of mankind that has survived to this day.
Its heaviness, its heaviness... It is impossible to carry it on your own.
"Temple-kun..."Asamiya Yongshi gently hugged Kitagawa Temple.
For some reason, she was a little moved.
What Beichuan Temple said just now sounded like he was reprimanding Mu Chi Hotaruzuka. But if you think about it, you can understand the true meaning of Kitagawa Temple -
No one has asked you to perform these bloody rituals.
No one needs you to give your life for free.
There is also a law in modern times, and it has never been heard of that the law of that country would make a few people give their lives to protect the majority of their country.
In the face of these unreasonable things-
"You have every right to choose."
Kitagawa Temple said.
Yes.
Regardless of the final outcome of that choice.
That's something that everyone should face.
