Chapter Fifty-Three: The Vortex Clan of the Yellow Springs Country
The sky of the underworld was densely covered with patches of dark red cumulus clouds that could not be dispersed, layered on top of each other, and orange-red light came out of the cracks in the clouds, and the whole world was shrouded in the darkness of twilight.
Looking up, on the other side of the Santu River is the distant mountains stained with ink.
On this side of the Santu River, the sea of thorn flowers is connected to a regular and smooth flower field.
The flower is the flower of the other side, also called Manzhu Sahua, a bright flower cast by blood.
Each flower shimmered with a scarlet glow.
The land, the water in the fields, the insects, the trees, the bones on the ground...... Everything has a strange glimmer.
In this world, the material elements derived from natural energy are completely different from the human world.
Everything is tangible, but it seems real and illusory.
The ridges that divide the flower fields are made of white bones.
Chihiro walked on the ridge and was startled by the miserable green glow of the stars, which had dissipated without waiting to be looked closely.
I want to summon a somersault cloud to fly over, but when I first arrive, I don't know if there are any taboos, and I don't see anything flying in the sky, so it's better to be cautious.
Chihiro had heard that the flower of the other side represented death, disaster, separation, madness, and blood, and that it bloomed with ominous beauty.
But at this moment, it seems that this large area of hell flowers, blooming so quietly, seems so peaceful.
The breeze blows, with a burst of floral fragrance, which is also refreshing.
Chihiro really couldn't hold back, and leaned over to pick a flower from the other side, but before she could get to it, the flower disintegrated as if frightened, turning into a red bloom and escaping with the wind.
Chihiro blinked, thought for a moment, and leaned over to pick a few.
As a result, it's okay when you pick it, and it's okay if you're far away, but as soon as you get in front of you and want to take a closer look, the flowers on the other side will immediately turn into red and dissipate.
"So, I don't let you see it, is it because the flower is really the reproductive organ of the plant?!"
Chihiro muttered as if suddenly.
Then he spit out the thorn flower in his mouth in disgust.
Without looking at these bewitching flowers on the other side, he quickened his pace and walked towards the village at the end of the flower field.
Why is there a village on the banks of the Santu River?
That was Chihiro's first thought when she saw the village.
But after thinking about it, it seems that no one has stipulated that there can be no village on the bank of the Santu River.
So with curiosity, Chihiro sped up.
But when I first came to the entrance of the village, I saw a stone stele.
The stele turned out to be engraved with a whirlpool emblem.
Chihiro was stunned.
How could it be the emblem of the Uzumaki clan?
On the other side, the red-haired girl who was leaving the village to pick flowers in the flower field was also stunned the moment she saw Chihiro.
Chihiro turned her head to look and saw at a glance that the red-haired girl was not human.
The red-haired girl also saw at a glance that Chihiro was not a ghost.
The girl did not appear to be a phantus, she was a physical entity, and it was also shimmering, forming a faint halo around her body.
She looks very beautiful, her skin is better than snow, and she is shiny, with a goose egg face, willow eyebrows with a heroic spirit, big eyes, cherry blossom-like lips, a small and delicate nose, and scarlet hair like Manzhu Sahua, which looks like a mysterious beauty.
"You're alive?"
The girl stepped forward quickly, her eyes widened, and she looked at Chihiro carefully.
"Hello, my name is Chihiro Hana."
Chihiro didn't answer, but greeted politely, which was actually a tacit acquiescence.
"Oh, hello, hello, my name is Uzumaki Bamboo." The girl felt rude, hurriedly bowed to say hello, and after getting up, those big bright eyes stared at Chihiro again, and said in surprise: "You, are you really a living person, but why did you appear here?" ”
It is truly amazing that the living appear in the realm of the dead.
Chihiro's side, hearing that the other party's real surname was Uzumaki, couldn't help but have a big question mark in his mind.
Shouldn't the souls of the Vortex clan be in the Pure Land, how could they be in the Yellow Spring?
After all, the Vortex clan is a descendant of the Six Dao Immortals, shouldn't they be inspired by the Pure Land after death?
Immediately, he thought of the forbidden technique of the ghoul sealing.
The price of using the ghoul seal seems to require sacrificing one's soul to the Grim Reaper.
Well.
That makes sense.
"Well, I'm really alive, as for how I ended up here......"
Chihiro scratched her head and said, "I don't know the specifics, it's a distant relative who went to the ruins of the Vortex Hidden Village with his elders not long ago to pay respects to the deceased, and somehow appeared here." ”
Chihiro has experienced these recent events, and she has learned to be cautious, and she doesn't plan to tell the truth for the time being until she finds out the situation.
"Vortex Hidden Village ......" The girl trembled when she heard this, it was her home before her death.
She looked Chihiro up and down in a fluctuating mood, and asked in a soft voice, "What did you just say your last name?" ”
"My surname is Jianhua, but my mother's surname is Senju."
"Is that so, then, what are the elders you are talking about, little brother?"
"Konoha Hidden Village, Tsunade-sama."
"Konoha," the girl's voice lowered a little, and asked, "Then who are you from His Highness Tsunade?" ”
Chihiro keenly noticed the change in the girl's mood, and now she also changed her speaking strategy, "I am a distant relative of Tsunade-sama, but the Senju clan is now only a descendant of Tsunade-sama, and I am the only one left in the side line, so, if you want to talk about it, it can be regarded as a sister and brother." ”
I originally wanted to play the emotional card, but it didn't seem to work, whether it was Konoha or Senju, in the hearts of the deceased Uzumaki clan, I am afraid that there is no good feeling.
Not long ago, Chihiro heard the discussion of the Seven Ninja Blades, and he also had some conjectures, combined with the change in the attitude of the girl now, it is not difficult to guess that the fall of the Uzumaki clan, the role played by Konoha in it is afraid that it is not very glorious.
Therefore, Chihiro can only change her words and sell miserably.
Your Vortex Clan is gone, and the Thousand Hands Clan is no better.
In this way, it is also considered to be connected to fate, and it will not blame a small one.
Sure enough, the girl's expression became gloomy, and her voice changed back to soft: "Then I'll take you to the village first, Elder Mito is also here." ”
"Elder Mito?"
"Yes, let's go, since it's Konoha's Senju sideline, I should know it, Elder Mito, the wife of Lord Pillar."
"It turned out to be Mito-sama, of course I know, then I'm sorry for you."
……
The girl's mood became depressed, and she didn't even pay attention to how Chihiro ended up here.
Greeting Chihiro, he walked to the village.
Chihiro didn't say much at the moment, and obediently followed the girl into the village.
It's just that my heart is not at peace.
The wife of the first Hokage!
This person shouldn't have been sealed with ghouls, how could he be in Huangquan?
It's weird.
I thought of what the Grim Reaper had said before......
The information that can be mastered is not enough, and Chihiro can't connect them, and if she can't figure it out, she won't want to think about it at the moment.
Along the way, Chihiro sees more and more red-haired undead.
This village turned out to be full of the undead of the Vortex Clan.
Chihiro originally thought that there would be other undead who had been sealed by the ghouls, but when she looked at it all the way, the village was actually a water of red hair.
……
