Chapter 679: The Witch
Standing at the entrance of the village was a bald man, followed by two retinues in black cloaks. The bald man greeted the four with a smile. Zang Gu walked in the front, his eyes never leaving the bald man. The bald man made a gesture of please, and Namu was at the very back of the village.
Ling Ya whispered to Zang Gu, "They have already deployed a large number of troops around us, we can't escape no matter what, we can only count on Leo to pass the information to the Gonggong Fortress as quickly as possible after getting the secret."
Zang Gu nodded and didn't say anything.
Suddenly, the bald man stopped Leo, who was the last to enter, and Leo roared angrily and lunged at the man. The bald man stood still and stood in place without evasion. Leo slammed his fist into the man's face, but the punch seemed to hit the air.
Leo loses his center of gravity and falls towards the man. The bald man swiped his left hand, grabbed Leo's right shoulder, and locked Leo's throat with his right hand. He was expressionless, and said lightly: "You, you are not allowed to enter!"
Zang Gu saw that the situation intensified, and he didn't even have time to think about it, so he was about to rush over. Ling Ya immediately motioned for Fei Yu to stop him, and then walked to the front and looked directly into the bald man's eyes.
"The shrine maiden is waiting for you inside, so let's go inside." The bald man has a restrained voice.
"Let him go, or I won't do anything."
The bald man smacked his lips, stretched out his free right hand, and plunged into Leo's heart. Strangely, Leo's chest didn't bleed a bit, and even his clothes didn't break.
Seeing this, Leo cursed, in all the language he knew. The bald man ignored him, his left hand still clasping Leo tightly, and his right hand withdrawing out little by little. Leo gasped and didn't make a sound. His face was flushed, and the corners of his mouth were bloodshot.
"I said, I won't do anything, you want the secrets of our clan, if he dies, you won't get anything!"
The bald man snorted coldly, but did not answer, but continued to withdraw his right hand that was inserted in Leo's heart little by little.
Leo was so painful that he almost lost consciousness, he closed his eyes and used all his strength to shout, "Let's go!"
The bald man stopped moving, and his right hand dissolved into nothingness, slowly leaving Leo's body. Leo gasped for relief as if he were relieved, but he couldn't do anything because his right hand was firmly clasped.
Ling Ya didn't want to look any further, so she turned around and walked towards the depths of the village with Zang Gu and Feiyu. It was the holy place of their people, the dwelling place of the witches, Lisan Samu.
Lisan Sa's wood was shrouded in a cold mist. In the wisps of mist, you can see the souls of different faces wandering. Ling Ya took a deep breath and stood in place, unwilling to enter any more. The memories buried deep in her heart came out like a fountain at this time.
In a red light, the figure of the clansman fell. On that day, she was accused of demon pupils, and rumors in the clan that every witch born would be accompanied by a demon pupil. Just as there is light and there is darkness, the shrine maiden and the demon pupil are the two sides of light and darkness.
Demon Hitomi will be expelled
, it is forbidden to return to the village. But she is different, she does not want to leave the land where she grew up, and she does not want to leave her beloved brother, Asalito. So she hid herself very deep and never revealed a single bit. But she knew that the day when the shrine maiden grew up, she would definitely see her existence. So she lived in fear until one day......
Ling Ya's eyes were full of cold light, she turned her head again, looked deeply at the coldness in front of her, and walked in with her eyes closed.
Zang Gu led Fei Yu to follow behind Ling Ya, and it was every malicious soul that passed by them, spreading its teeth and dancing its claws past their bodies. Whenever a soul passed through Ling Ya's body, her steps slowed a little, and countless beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, winding into streams along her closed eyes.
Zang Gu looked at Ling Ya's crumbling body and hurriedly stepped forward to support her. He looked around, and the speeding spirits passed by, blocking all vision, and he couldn't tell the difference between east and west. In this lost soulless land, he panicked, and a sense of fear that he had never felt before took over his heart at this time.
Ling Ya gently pushed Zang Gu away, stood up stubbornly, and staggered forward again. Zang Gu didn't know if Ling Ya was walking the right way, Ling Ya closed her eyes, she seemed to have blocked her surroundings, but the damage caused to her by every soul was so real.
Just when Ling Ya was about to lose her support, a soul-shaking chant came from the sky. The chanting seemed to come from the bottom of her heart, and one after another, Ling Ya's gradually paralyzed soul was awakened again.
"Ha, the shrine maiden's Sanskrit chanting, the shrine maiden is in front, in the center of Lisan Sanamu." Ling Ya's face was happy.
All the spirits heard the witch's call and consciously moved out of the way during the Sanskrit chanting, but each of them still had an angry look on their faces.
Walking through the passage, Zang Gu saw a woman in a white robe, he was lying in the center of all the souls, his face was withered, and the white robe completely covered her, as if there was nothing inside, only a head statue was sewn into the robe.
Zang Gu helped Ling Ya take two steps forward, but he felt that Fei Yu didn't seem to move, and when he looked back, Fei Yu was still hovering on the edge of his soul.
"Come here, I can't get near you, Ayer, I see your coming, forgive me." The shrine maiden in front of her struggled to prop herself up, her eyes hollow, and occasionally a glimmer of wisdom.
Ling Ya bowed slightly, and walked in front of her with Zang Gu.
The witch stretched out her withered right hand from under her long robe, took Ling Ya's hand, closed her eyes and said, "I'm too weak, forgive me for waiting for your arrival in the Lost Soul Land." The shrine maiden opened her eyes and looked at Zang Gu, "Your friends are very sad, and the loss of souls will magnify the sadness and despair in people's hearts, and eventually lose themselves, and only those who are determined can avoid disasters." Rest assured, the Lost Souls will no longer attack your friends, you have received my approval. ”
Zang Gu nodded, and glanced back at Fei Yu worriedly, he stood there with a blank look.
Ling Ya clenched tightly
Holding the witch's hand, but she didn't know what to say. The shrine maiden smiled slightly, and the smile on her face looked so decadent, like a gorgeous glass wall that had been washed away by years of wind and rain.
The shrine maiden said, "I have found out the purpose of your trip, but please forgive me, I don't know where that place is, it is protected by a power, I can't see it, but I can tell you the secret that the Hitomi clan has been guarding."
Hearing the witch say this, Zang Gu and Ling Ya cheered up and stared at the witch's mouth tightly.
"The Hitomi clan is extended from the remnants of the fourth type of clan, and our secret is the three worlds, and when the three worlds are combined, they can transcend the world and make a great prophecy. The outcome of the prophecy will definitely come true, but in what form no one knows. ”
The fourth group of people? Zang Gu looked at Ling Ya in confusion, but Ling Ya's attention was completely focused on the witch's words at the moment.
"Sanji," Ling Ya muttered, "Sanji! Our strength comes from Sanji! ”
"Yes, Ayer, you and I are the embodiment of the artifact, you know the past, I know the future, we are companions. Only now is unknown, and all cause and effect have their own retribution. ”
All karma has its own retribution?
"You're saying that as long as we gather all the Hallows, we have hope?" Zang Gu looked a little excited at the moment, he had completely left the fourth category behind.
"Yes. However, I don't know what 'now' is or where, it's always been mysterious. ”
"Hehe, yes, but at least we have an absolute hope, don't we?"
"I hope so." The shrine maiden sighed and didn't continue.
Zang Gu smiled slightly and looked at the starry sky. In the center of the Lost Soulland, as if in the eye of the storm, the sky beyond the storm can be seen. The stars in the sky twinkled, but there was one star, which hung in the northern sky, dazzling.
"Come with us, let's go find the 'now' and bring this hope to the whole clan!" Zang Gu said hopefully.
"Forgive me for not being able to go on with you, I only exist for the future, Lisan Sanamu is my only place, but you have to keep going, so I will sacrifice my power to you, Ayer, please accept my apologies, this is the last thing I can do for you."
Ling Ya didn't speak, in fact, for the witch, she always had a knot in her heart. She knew that the incident twenty years ago had been planned by her, and that the witch was going to completely drive herself out of Lisan Sanamu and out of her territory. Ling Ya had seen Shi Jian, Shi Jian showed that every demon pupil had to leave the village and leave Lisan Suonamu, what was the reason, Ling Ya didn't know. And the shrine maiden told all the reasons.
"Ayer, before you leave, I have two things to tell you and your friends. The first thing is about you. I think you already know that I did it, I killed the clansmen, planted the blame on your head, and then ordered Vicky to give false testimony, no one knows, the witch and the demon pupil
With the same ability, you can kill people with Hitomitsu. But I didn't expect Norwich to disobey the witch's will, and I had to punish him with the harshest punishment possible, taking away his eyes. ”
"Hmph, what you can never spy on is human emotions, Kokinovich watched me and Asa grow up, and it was right to stand up for me at that moment." Ling Ya said coldly.
"Yes, how wonderful human emotions are, always unpredictable, even if I can predict the future, I can never guess. But you must believe me, my purpose is to keep you away from Lisan Samu and return with hope in the most perilous times. The reason I did this was because I saw disaster at that time. ”
The shrine maiden took a breath and continued, "The first shrine maiden of the Hitomi clan, Ardina, made a great prophecy that the world would repeat the mistakes of the past, and the Hitomi clan shouldered the heavy responsibility of protecting hope. She stripped the holy artifact from her body after the prophecy. Her right pupil represents the future, which she passed on to the next shrine maiden, her left pupil represents the past, where she was buried in the ground, and her body represents the present, which she scattered into the sky.
Passed down from generation to generation, the shrine maiden knew her responsibility after obtaining her right pupil, and the holder of the 'past' could be anyone standing on this land. The Stone Dictionary written by Yadeena states that the bearers of the 'past' must leave Lisan Sanamu to find the 'present' and bring it back in the most dangerous time, which is their task.
But after so long, the catastrophe has been forgotten, and many of the holders of the 'past' are reluctant to leave Lisan Sanamu, especially you, Ayyer, and I know how much you love your brother. But the shrine maidens of the past have not forgotten their responsibilities, so we have accused the holders of the 'past' with demon pupils and banished them. ”
