Chapter Seventy-Five: Suppressing the Demon Sword
"There was a guy out there just now...... Bad intentions are directed at you. β
The witch indifferently withdrew her gaze, stepped into the house, calmly looked at Mo Chen, who was in the room with great interest in pulling the old-fashioned pull rope switch of the electric light, and said softly.
"I could feel that his malice was very strong."
"Oh, I know that, let them go, don't worry about it-"
Mo Chen turned his head when he heard this, and did not express any surprise at this, but just spread his hand and said without any concern.
"Because there is an old guy who always wants to find an opportunity to bite me back, I will give him this opportunity to help him recognize the reality."
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
"How does it sound like you're looking for an opportunity to beat him up?"
Kikyo looked at him strangely, then nodded, and said pointedly.
"Ahaha, what about this...... By the way, the weather is so nice today! Mo Chen laughed a few times, then looked at the village scenery outside the window, and whistled with his arms crossed.
Although he didn't say anything explicitly, his meaning was self-evident.
"It's really bad enough ......" Kikyo gave a bland evaluation to Mo Chen, but he didn't intend to criticize this behavior itself.
Although she is very kind, with the gentleness of protecting the weak and compassionate, she is also a shrine maiden born in the Warring States period after all, and she is also well versed in the laws of survival.
For some, they are even more vicious, cruel, and greedy than any demonic monster.
Simply blindly retreating will only make those jackals in human skins gain an inch, and at some point show their force appropriately, beat them fiercely and painfully, or even simply cut down the grass and eradicate the roots......
Only then can we really solve the problem.
In addition to the aliens in the Warring States Period, there were all kinds of wild bandits, bandits and other threats.,In order to protect the village,,Kikyo didn't just deal with youkai.γ
"Ahem, let's not talk about this, but then again, is the magic gathering in the center of the village so simple to be prepared?"
He didn't notice much of the witch's expression, Mo Chen just raised his fist and knocked on his forehead, and then asked seriously with a few dry coughs.
The various nodes of the technique had been determined, but the hub in the village was the most important, so he was somewhat uneasy. After all, compared to those troublesome nodes, the hub of the village seems to be too simple.
The shrine maiden just confirmed the specific core location and left without doing anything.
"That's actually quite simple, but you can't activate the technique right now to make it work, but I have to decide when to activate it when I need to."
Kikyo shook his head slightly, and said as if he was slightly troubled.
"And in the very center of the village, there is a statue of a snake god, which looks like it is not finished yet...... Once the magic is activated directly there, I fear that the idol will be destroyed directly. β
In the center of the primitive village, a huge stone statue was erected compared to before, and it is not known how much time and effort it took by the indigenous people to mine such a huge stone and carry it.
Although the artistic representation of the indigenous people is not very good, and the stone statue itself is not yet finished, the person surrounded by two giant snakes is clearly referring to someone.
"What's there to worry about this, I don't need any idols, if it's destroyed, it's destroyed."
Regarding the statue that should be dedicated to himself, Mo Chen expressed a noncommittal attitude, waved his hand and said disapprerovitically.
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
"Even if you don't need to, the villagers need it...... They now think that you are a god, so they spontaneously make a statue of you. β
However, the shrine maiden frowned slightly, she completely disagreed.
"It's not just reverence, it's fear...... They want your approval, and if you don't care or accept it at all, what do you think they'll think? β
Speaking of this, she shook her head again: "It doesn't matter if you are a god or not, but at least in their world, you are that kind of existence...... Sometimes it's better to think about it from their point of view. β
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
Mo Chen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, he had already understood the meaning of the bellflower.
In the final analysis, this is actually the essence of "sacrifice", worshipping heaven and earth, sacrificing to the gods, praying for the gods and ancestors to bless the wind and rain, and praying for blessings and disasters.
In fact, this is a kind of exchange and currying, and he is the object of those natives who want to do this...... To use an inappropriate analogy, it's like collecting protection money.
Indigenous people pay "protection money" and therefore want to get "protection" in exchange. And if Mo Chen doesn't want this "protection fee", no matter whether he doesn't need it or what his original intention is, there is only one explanation for the indigenous people......
A devastating explanation.
So, even though the gods don't need people's sacrifices, they don't think people need to please themselves.
This may be well-intentioned, but this approach has only brought people a disastrous end-
For example, people will make up their own minds, panic, and eventually do even more crazy things hysterically in order to regain their divine grace.
It's definitely not impossible, and it's not even uncommon.
"Okay, I understand...... Mo Chen sighed, and after thinking for a moment, he smiled subtly, "I should be able to solve this problem, it'll be fine, don't worry." β
"That's the best way to ......"
Kikyo nodded slightly.
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
After being silent for a while, Mo Chen shrugged, and then found a place to sit down.
He reached out and touched the clean and soft thatch on the ground, and then nodded: "Okay, then let's start now-Kikyo, please break the sealing technique of the magic sword." β
The shrine maiden stared at him for a long time before nodding imperceptibly and saying nothing more.
The quiet magic sword immediately appeared to have some strange movement after the removal of several extremely strong sealing techniques, but strictly speaking, it was actually the scabbard that emitted light first.
Perhaps because the seal set by Kikyo was too strong, the primeval evil spirit lodged inside the magic sword did not awaken immediately, but the guardian spirit in the scabbard was awakened first.
"Oops! Seven hundred years have passed?! β
A glowing, spirit-like "mochi" floated out of the scabbard and transformed into a typical white-haired old man.
"It's amazing! Hellfangs are about to be unsealedββ!! β
As soon as he looked up, he screamed in horror with a look on his face, as if he had seen the end of the world.
"Shut up! Old man, I know this-" Mo Chen frowned and scolded angrily.
After that, he didn't care about the spirit of the scabbard, he directly reached out and grabbed the hilt of Cong Yunya's sword, and after taking a deep breath, he waited quietly.
Kikyo watched calmly, not caring that there was a special guardian spirit in the scabbard, after all, she had known about it for a long time.
Moreover, it is impossible to speculate on the fierce soldiers such as the Demon Sword and the Demon Sword with common sense, and it is difficult for an ordinary scabbard to match it, because it is simply impossible to resist the powerful sword pressure that naturally diverges.
Generally speaking, the more powerful the demon sword, the more powerful the matching scabbard will also be, and it can be regarded as extremely powerful armor on its own.
In many cases, the best way to block the power of a demon knife head-on is to get its sheath......
Although it is impossible for the wielder to completely ignore the terrifying power of the demon sword, as long as he gets the sheath, he will at least have an extra chance to eat one or two arrows head-on.
"Huh?" The guardian spirit of the scabbard was stunned for a moment, and some could not react.
And at this very moment-
Rumble!
The whole house, no, it should be said that the entire primitive village outside was suddenly quiet for a moment, because there seemed to be an unimaginable evil aura erupting just now.
It seems to be like a violent explosion of air, but it doesn't seem to be a real material phenomenon, but it just instantly swept through the vicinity in terms of "feeling".
The unimaginable curse aura spread wildly in all directions, formless, and could not be captured by technological means.
But it can be sensed by people, animals, or other spiritual beings.
As a result, the primitive village outside also fell silent in an instant, and some of the more sensitive children began to tremble.
The magic sword began to tremble slightly, and the sheath vibrated together, and the round purple jade embedded in the top of the hilt also began to bloom with a bright and faint light.
This made the surrounding space suddenly dyed with a strange sense of evil.
"It's actually the jade ...... of the dragon's head?"
A look of surprise flashed in Kikyo's eyes as black as jade, could the essence of this sword really be a tooth knife?
It's just that I haven't pulled it out and seen it, and no one can be sure that if it's really a tooth knife, then what kind of tooth is it?
Dragons of Hell?
She didn't think too much about it, just stood up and turned to go out, leaving a sentence without looking back-
"I'm going to get the villagers outside...... Let's go back to the house and take shelter. If you really can't avoid trying your sword, let me know in advance, and I'll get the enchantments running. β
Mo Chen didn't speak, his attention was already fully focused on the slightly trembling magic sword in his hand.
Cong Yunya seemed to want to completely break free from the control of the scabbard, and slowly "retreated" from the scabbard little by little, slowly revealing the sharp blade.
But as if wrestling, Mo Chen's steady palm grabbed the hilt of the sword, and "pushed" it back little by little, and the process was constantly stalemate and repeated, repeatedly.
Ka, Ka, Ka β
And the sound of the sword grid striking the scabbard also sounded in the room for a while, and every once and again, slight and obvious, and could not be ignored, as if it struck the heart of a person.
Mo Chen hoped that he could completely suppress this magic sword in one go, so that it couldn't stir up any wind and waves, but the magic sword was also frantically trying to break free.
It is foreseeable that this wrestling will continue for a long time, and no one knows exactly what will happen.
Because although Mo Chen had full confidence, he only firmly believed that he could finally subdue Cong Yunya, but he did not have the confidence that he could directly suppress it as a matter of course without any accidents.
With the ferocity and fury of Cong Yunya, it is impossible to directly and completely suppress it, and it is normal for crazy counterattacks to break out a few times.
It depends on whether Mo Chen felt tired first and showed his flaws, or Cong Yunya felt tired first.
"This ...... What is the origin of this man...... How could there be such terrifying spiritual powers? β
The old man who had turned into the guardian spirit of the scabbard had already come back to his senses, but because Mo Chen had already directly held the sword at this time, he began the process of wrestling with the sword.
He still didn't dare to speak, for fear that the other party would be distracted. In addition, his body, that is, the scabbard, was still on Cong Yunya, so he could also clearly feel the unimaginable strength of this young man.
The guardian spirit of the scabbard also suddenly felt that this was not a good thing, maybe Cong Yunya was about to be suppressed by the new master again.
The chances are great.
Therefore, he was afraid of disturbing the other party, so at this time, he could only watch it tangled on the sidelines, and he didn't even dare to breathe.
To the outside world, however, the sky over Borneo is gradually clouded. A dark red spread out, gradually turning into a large area of blood red, and with it a terrifying darkness.
At the same time, a huge pillar of clouds connecting the heavens and the earth was gradually forming in the very center.
