Chapter 55: The Vortex Clan's Secrets

This is the only four-storey hexagonal tower in the village.

The meeting was held on the fourth floor.

There are no walls on six sides, only an intricately carved fence and six columns supporting a huge hexagonal spire.

The entire top floor looks like a hexagonal gazebo.

Rows of futons lay out on the wooden floor.

All were on their knees.

About 60 people.

It's all the high-level leaders of the Uzumaki clan.

If you count it according to generations, you can really make up the eighteen generations of ancestors.

The average age of these people should be in their sixties.

The Uzumaki clan is known for their longevity in the ninja world.

But it also depends on who you compare with, the average age of ninjas in the ninja world during the Warring States period was only thirty years old, and it is indeed a long life to live to be in their sixties.

But if you put it in Chihiro's previous life and died in her sixties, it would still be a little shorter.

At this time, Chihiro was surrounded in the middle, feeling very uncomfortable, because everyone's eyes were blazing when they looked at him.

The earlier they died, the hotter their eyes became, especially the first batch to go down to the Yellow Spring, they hadn't seen a living person for thousands of years.

If it weren't for his identity, I really wanted to knead this little living person.

As for the pain when touched, it's fine, people who have died once, who is afraid of that pain.

After all, this is a living person.

How strange!

"Originator, tell me first, what do you think about this matter?"

After Chihiro finished speaking, everyone didn't move, and Uzumaki Mito could only be the first to speak, breaking the strange silence.

Hearing this, they came back to their senses one by one, and they all set their eyes on the ancestor of the Vortex clan, a young man who died very young.

Chihiro followed their gaze and couldn't help but smack her tongue secretly.

Good guy, I'm afraid he was only eighteen or nineteen years old when he died, and he turned out to be the originator, so if this was a little shorter, would the Vortex Clan not exist?

'Oh, no, why is the originator of the Uzumaki clan black-haired?' ’

Chihiro was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but feel strange, other people became gray-haired because of their old age when they died, which is understandable, why is the originator black-haired?

"Well, this matter ......" The black-haired Vortex Originator muttered for a moment and said, "Before discussing this matter, I think that this child should first be informed of the current situation in Huangquan, after all, this matter is related to the child's own vital interests and safety. ”

Everyone else nodded in agreement, indicating that the ancestor had a point.

"Well," the black-haired boy nodded and said again, "Then since we want to talk about the situation in Huangquan, we have to start with our clan, child, you must also see that I am the ancestor of the Vortex clan, but I don't have the iconic red hair, you should also feel strange." ”

Chihiro nodded: "I'm really confused, but is this a secret, can I know?" ”

The black-haired originator smiled and said, "What's wrong, my brother is the ancestor of the Thousand Hands Clan, since you have the bloodline of the Thousand Hands Clan, you are a family ......"

Next, the black-haired originator tells a series of bloody love stories about an ignorant teenager who travels out to the kingdom of God - Takamagahara, meets a goddess, and then takes place.

It can be seen that this person is reminiscing, remembering, and telling all kinds of emotions in the process.

And it was even talked about for nearly an hour.

But in fact, there are only four key messages.

First, the goddess, whose name is: Mahamanzhu Sahua, was the flower god of the four great divine flowers of Takamagahara - Manju Sahua.

Second, the Vortex clan is the descendant of this ancestor and the goddess, and their hair is inherited from the goddess's blood red.

Third, the goddess has fallen, and the manju sawa of the divine realm has also become the flower of the underworld.

Fourth, and most crucially, the reason why the Vortex clan entered the Yellow Springs after their death was because they wanted to take revenge on some gods in the Divine Realm, so they signed contracts with many gods in the Yellow Springs Kingdom.

The content of the contract did not say, only said that he succeeded in revenge, but the price was that future generations would believe in those contract gods and become the soul envoys of Huangquan Kingdom in the world.

This is also the reason why so many whirlpools appear in Huangquan.

Subsequently, this person also mentioned that after death, the undead cannot exist forever in the underworld, and the undead in the underworld also need to draw energy to maintain the spirit body, otherwise it will completely dissipate.

The reason why the Uzumaki Clan can survive in the Underworld is that they can sustain their spirit bodies by absorbing the energy of the Flower of the Other Side.

Chihiro thought of the large expanse of flowers outside the village......

"Child, I've said so much, just to tell you that there aren't many underworld gods like us in Huangquan, and most of the undead can't last forever at all, and because there are only a few undead replenishments in the past thousand years, the current Huangquan Kingdom is actually mostly empty......"

From the follow-up narration of the young ancestor, Chihiro learned that it turned out that everything in the underworld was manifested by the undead through their own soul energy combined with the unique natural energy of the underworld.

In other words, the underworld at the beginning was actually just a void space, and when the first undead appeared, this world had matter.

In the myths and stories of the ninja world, the first undead to appear in the underworld was 'Izanami', who is known as the mother of the gods.

Legend has it that after giving birth to many gods, Izanami ran out of divine power and eventually fell.

After the true spirit came to the underworld, he became the ancestor god of the underworld, and was also called the great god of Huangquanjin by later generations.

Strictly speaking, Izanami is the true god of death.

The one who came from Kuchihiro was just an oracle.

That's what Rashomon called it.

Perhaps it was the gods who made many appearances in the world, and slowly became the god of death by legends.

And this kind of god legend is still spread in the ninja world.

Chihiro had seen some of the classics that had been preserved by the Mika family.

It's just that these legends are rarely mentioned among ninjas.

……

From the follow-up narration of the young ancestor, Chihiro learned that due to the lack of undead spirits, the Yellow Springs Kingdom could no longer function normally, and many realms had been re-reduced to nothingness.

If this continues, perhaps in the near future, the entire Huangquan Kingdom will be wiped out again.

The other Vortex elders also showed deep concern when they heard this.

Naturally, in the follow-up meeting, the elders of the Vortex clan mentioned the Pure Land again and showed their yearning for the Pure Land.

Chihiro also learned that what separates the Pure Land from the Yellow Spring is the endless sea of thorn flowers.

The thorn flower stretched down the Santu River, splitting the entire underworld into two halves.

As a result, the Yellow Spring and the Pure Land have been unable to communicate with each other.

As for how the sea of thorn flowers appeared, the Vortex clan didn't know.

The reason why they knew about the existence of the Pure Land was because most of the 27 gods they had contracted to believe in had defected to the Pure Land.

In addition, the Vortex clan has been inherited for thousands of years, and in fact, the number of clansmen is not limited to these in the village.

In fact, there is also a part of it that goes to the Pure Land.
