Chapter Eighty-Six: Seriously Ill
The shrine maiden came out of the courtyard, and her thoughts were heavy.
She grew up with her master since she was a child, and she was also a teacher and a mother, and naturally she was very concerned about her physical condition.
Since the turmoil that the Desolate Tribe suffered a few years ago, Master's health has suddenly deteriorated, and even to the point where it is difficult to get out of bed now.
In the past, prayers or priestly events were presided over by the Great Witch himself, and if there were difficult and miscellaneous diseases in the tribe, the Great Witch would personally help to treat them.
But for most of the past six months, the master has lived in a simple house, and the prayers and prayers of the people in the wilderness have been handed over to her to deal with, and even major matters such as praying for the priest have been handled by her.
The Great Witch was here, and on such occasions, there was no reason for the witch to cross her presiding, and the tribesmen were terrified, and she was presiding over the priest in the name of the Master in the name of the Great Witch on both occasions.
Fortunately, during the prayer ceremony, Dawu was going to cover her face, and she deliberately covered her voice, so no one noticed that something was wrong.
But this is not a long-term solution, if Master's body continues to fall like this, I am afraid that there will be no way to return to heaven.
She wanted to carefully explore the cause of Master's illness in order to find a cure, but Master waved his hand and refused.
"I'm a witch, so I naturally know my own physical condition." She sighed and said quietly, "To tell you the truth, I feel that my time is running out......
"Master......" The shrine maiden was about to speak, but she raised her hand to cut it off.
"Don't talk too much, and don't be sad. In life, there will inevitably be times when you leave. Her voice was neither sad nor joyful, as if she were not talking about her imminent death.
"Luckily, you're a good student now. For most of the past six months, I have watched you take care of the affairs of the Witch Temple and preside over the blessing ceremony, and you have really done a good job. ”
"Soya, you are already a witch that the people of the wilderness believe in. I can also trust the witch temple to you......"
Soya Witch's eyes were sour, in the Desolate Tribe, only when the Great Witch died and returned to the sky, the Witch was truly qualified to ascend to the position of the Great Witch and officially take charge of the Witch Temple.
When Master said this, it means that she is really about to leave......
"Crying for what?" The old witch rarely had a little warmth, "You are already twenty-two, not the child you once were." ”
"Master......" Soya Witch burst into tears, and when she came to the bed, she was about to take her hand, but was avoided by the great witch.
"Go down, I'm tired and want to rest." With that, she closed her eyes.
Soya wanted to stop talking, and just wanted to come forward again, but was stopped by the witch who was waiting beside the great witch: "Witch, please." ”
There wasn't much respect in her voice, as it was today.
Soya stopped, and turned to look at the courtyard in the distance.
Since Master's illness, her relationship with the sorcerers who served her has become closer and closer, but she has become a little more alienated from her, far less warm than before.
No, since four years ago, Master seemed to treat her as close as he used to.
In terms of magic teaching, although the master treats her strictly, after all, she has been raised by the master's side since she was a child, and the two also have many intimate and warm times.
When she was still young or a girl, she would even be a scoundrel to the big witch, and she would just smile kindly, Master.
But four years ago, after Wu Yuan, who was serving the master closely, died, the master first fell seriously ill, and then gradually became estranged from her.
She is still a high-ranking witch in the tribe, but she has lost the qualification to be inseparable from her master's father.
Fortunately, as she got older, she gradually put this matter aside, and only did her part as a shrine maiden.
Now, Master's deadline is approaching, although she knows that life and death are impermanent, and everyone has them, but in this heart, she is still sad in the end.
What made her even more puzzled was that except for the serious illness four years ago, Master's health has always been very healthy, why has it suddenly deteriorated to this point in the past six months?
But the master didn't say anything, and he didn't let her investigate closely, so she had to press this doubt in her heart.
In another place, Titu bid farewell to the leader of the desolate people and several subordinates, and went to his tribe with Jiang Peiyou.
There were other people on the road who followed, and they didn't say much all the way, and when the three of them entered the yurt, they talked about what had happened in the witch temple before.
"He Qi Niangzi asked me to stop Da Wu before, because she suspected that there was someone else under the mask?" Tykdu asked with doubts in his heart.
He Lingjiang nodded: "Yes." I was in the witch temple when I heard someone tell the witch that the witch had vomited blood again. ”
"Vomiting blood? Or is it 'again'? Tidu frowned slightly, "Dawu is injured?" But for so long, I haven't heard any rumors......"
"Since he is a desolate man, even if he is injured, he must hide it from outsiders, so as not to cause panic in the tribe."
He Lingjiang said: "I just heard from other ministers that the Great Witch has been living in a simple place recently, and it is rare to see outsiders. Usually, the affairs in the witch temple and the requests of the people and believers are all handed over to the witches or the witches around them? ”
Titus frowned: "That's true. Could it be that Dawu is really seriously ill? ”
He Lingjiang shook his head slightly: "I only heard a few words, but the big witch vomited blood, but to what extent he was sick, I can't say for sure." ”
She continued: "The reason why I suspect that the person on the altar is not the Great Witch himself, is because I watched him pray and perform blessings on the platform, and his movements were smooth and natural, without any sense of condensation. But when you think about the anxious appearance of the witch after she knew that the witch vomited blood, you can know that her symptoms are not mild. ”
"A person who cultivates magic, whether it is occult or witchcraft, once it reaches the point of repeatedly vomiting blood, he will inevitably be seriously injured or unable to heal, and his internal breath will inevitably be damaged. In this way, it is almost impossible to preside over such a laborious blessing ceremony as if nothing happened. ”
"When the master stopped the man, I also took two steps forward and got closer to her." He Lingjiang's eyes narrowed slightly, "If it is said that the internal breath is damaged, it can still be covered up with all its might, and there will be no traces in the spell ceremony." But a person's anger can't be biased. ”
"That person's breath is not like that of being injured or seriously ill, and more importantly, her breath is not owned by a person of the age of Da Wu......"
Tidu's eyes widened: "That'...... What about this man...... It can only be a shrine maiden. ”
The entire desolate tribe can perform the art of praying for blessings, and the gods will be blessed by her, except for the great witch, who will also have her true witch.
Really...... He Lingjiang narrowed his eyes slightly, it seems that this witch does have some ability.
"It's just ......," Ti couldn't help but wonder, "Well, why is Da Wu seriously ill?" Even to the point where she had to hide it from everyone and ask the shrine maiden to preside over the ceremony for her......"
He Lingjiang remembered the words he had heard in the Witch Temple before: "The Great Witch has only begun to see outsiders for more than half a year?" ”
Ti Du was stunned: "He Qi Niangzi is saying that the disease of the Great Witch may be related to the tribal turmoil a year ago?" ”
