Chapter 51: The Light of Hope

The Wu clan hall is not as glorious as it used to be, there are dark attics everywhere, only one or two dim candles, which are particularly eye-catching in the dead of night.

Even after eight years of not returning, she still found the Wulan Pavilion where she once lived. Sure enough, the mother-in-law speculated that there was no seriously ill Wu clan daughter here. The locked doors and windows, the thick dust on the window frames and the cobwebs on the window edges all hint at the fact that it has been uninhabited for a long time.

The lights flickered in the Witch Sanctuary, and she put away the Soul Drawing Sword, taking care not to make a noise and be noticed, and approached the Witch Sanctuary lightly.

The lights in the lobby are not as brilliant as before, and the two or three star candles are even more dim against the background of the huge hall, and it seems that two figures can be seen faintly. When she slowly approached, she gradually saw these two emaciated figures clearly, and when she looked closely, she was so surprised that she covered her mouth, it turned out to be Kong De and Kong Yi's grandfather!

"Grandpa Kong......"

I haven't seen her for a long time, but the two tall and majestic old men in her memory in the past are still not as good as they were yesterday, with a slightly hunched back, gray sideburns, and skinny folds that have been carved on their bodies by time. When she was expelled from the Wu Clan, these two grandfathers were the only ones who stood on her side and always believed in her. She has missed them very much in the past few years, but now it seems that she has suffered a lot in the past few years in captivity, all because she is useless......

In the shadows, she walked slowly towards them, recognizing them was the main purpose of her visit to the Witch Clan, no matter what she did, whatever she planned, they were her support, because they believed in themselves. Unexpectedly, in their intermittent conversation, he suddenly heard them mention their names, and he was instantly stunned and stopped.

"Brother, there is still no news of the husband...... In the past few days, news has come from the capital that Mi Luo, the daughter of the demon clan, will be ordered to enter Beijing in two days...... You see what we're going to do next, but we're going to look for her again......"

"Now that the situation is like this, what are you looking for her? She has disappeared for five years, and she can't even find the blue bird...... I'm afraid it's hard to find it again...... Besides, her qualifications are too much worse than those of the demon clan's daughters...... Even if you find it, it's useless......"

“...... Never before have the witch daughters of the Witch Clan been so useless...... The old man of the capital Wu also came to the news and said that he had already designed the ...... The ...... of the substitute husband"

......

The sound of a bang alarmed the two old men.

"Who's there?" Kong Yi asked vigilantly, and the two walked towards the voice, but there was no one to be seen.

The wind blew through the window, stirring the scattered green silk.

The husband looked at the morning light that was about to turn white in the east, and his right hand clenched the rough wooden edge, and although the faint wound had healed, there were only a few traces of blood and a small wooden thorn.

She still couldn't recognize them after all last night, and when she heard their conversation, her heart ached faintly. The unwilling mood hit her like a tide, and her whole body trembled because of excitement or indignation, and finally smashed her fist against the wooden wall. The mottled and rough barbs on the wooden wall pierced into the flesh and still felt a dull pain in the flesh.

It was her incompetence that made the clan so embarrassed and bullied by the demon clan, and it was she who couldn't bear it that even the elders standing beside her began to doubt themselves, it was she who ......

Now, what can she do for her people?

With his right hand propped up, he jumped down the attic on the second floor and landed firmly on the dead tree in the courtyard.

She stood on the treetops, looking at the sky in the east that was finally brightening, and the Nine Days of the Witch Dance could only be most effective during the day. What she can do now is to bring them the most desperately needed rain.

The green silk was casually tied into a tasseled bun with silver hairpins, and some were scattered on her pale face that had not slept all night, and her arms were raised gracefully and charmingly, and the strength extended to the fingertips, and she could dance ninety-nine eighty-one graceful dances in place, rotating on the treetops, and the hem of her clothes fluttered and swayed with the dance, looking from afar, not like mortals.

As the dance progressed, the color of the sky began to change, and the original cloudless blue was gradually rendered into a faint watery color, and the air gradually filled with mist, and gradually the wind rose, and the wind was mixed with water vapor. The ants under the trees also realized the impending rain and began to build embankments for flood control. After a while, as her dancing reached its peak, the long-awaited rain fell in the sky. The spring rain is as precious as oil, and the desperate tribesmen have opened their doors and come out into the streets, cheering for the long-awaited rain.

This is the fourth section of the Nine Heavens of the Witch Dance, the blue waves. The long-dried land greedily absorbed the rain, and the husband danced for two hours before stopping.

She stood on the tree, not a single cent wet on her body, and listened to the laughter that came one after another, and her heart finally calmed down. The long-term witch dance also consumed a lot of her physical strength, and she didn't fully recover on Taihang Mountain, plus her long-distance sword and last night's sleeplessness, she was a little dizzy the moment she stopped dancing. But fortunately, fortunately, she finally did something meaningful for her people before leaving.

When she returned to the house, she found her mother-in-law standing in front of the window, and at her feet were a bowl of sweet cakes sprinkled with red dates and fragments of porcelain bowls, and her mother-in-law looked at her blankly, as if she was not looking at her, but looking into the distance through her.

The husband's heart sank, and he could see her dancing in the tree from the window, how long had the mother-in-law been standing here?

But before she could think much about it, the old woman knelt down before her and bowed her head to the ground respectfully. The husband couldn't see her expression, but he expected that the mother-in-law had discovered her identity. In the Wu clan, in addition to worshipping heaven and earth, the clansmen will only make such a big bow when they visit the Wu clan's concubines.

She had forgotten to lock the door......

"The old slave has eyes and no beads, and he doesn't know the real body of the witch clan's daughter! It's really stupid, he has lived in vain for so long, and the old slave saw you yesterday and sighed that you look too much like the witch daughter of the previous generation, but he didn't expect this layer. You were innocently wronged and kicked out of the Wu Clan, but today you are still willing to come back...... But I said such disrespectful things yesterday, and I am really shameless to see you......"

"Mother-in-law, get up quickly, get up and speak. "The husband has not been worshiped for a long time, and she has been unable to do anything in the turmoil of the Wu clan in recent years, and now she feels really ashamed to see her so gifted, and hurriedly supports her up.

"You, are you leaving the Wu Clan?" the old woman gripped her hands tightly, fearing that she would flee as soon as she let go.

"I, I can't come back for the time being......" was held by the old woman's trembling hand, and at that moment her heart trembled and trembled, it turned out that she had always been in the heart of the clansman. That position is not simply a name, but a pillar that can really bring hope and sustenance to the future of the clan.

The old woman's eyes, which were rarely brilliant, dimmed instantly, and then she raised her face to look at her as if she remembered something, and begged: "Although the clan is suspicious and resentful, you have always been our hope, if even you abandon the Wu clan, then we... How do we ......?"

"Mother-in-law, when I was forced to leave, I said that I would come back. I was born to be a member of the Wu Clan, but now the situation in the capital is very unfavorable to my clan, and I have more important things to do, so I can't come back in the open. But believe me, everything I will do is for the sake of my people, and I will prove it to you. I will definitely be back. ”

The husband picked up the candy cake that had fallen on the ground, patted off the dust that had stuck to it, wrapped it in a cloth and put it in the package. The mother-in-law sent her out of the inn, took her hand as she parted, and said something with tears in her eyes that she will never forget: "You are our hope, and you must bring us victory!"

She recited the mantra lightly, and Edgeworth came to the gate of the Wu Clan, staring down at the old man who was still sitting under the city wall waiting for her son's return, the old woman who was looking at her from afar, Kong De and Kong Yi who rushed out of the Wu Holy Hall in a panic when they heard about the vision of the sky, and the men, women, and children who came out of their homes after hearing that there were immortals flying outside...... The crowd was bustling and pointing at her, their eyes chatting with horror or confusion.

"I, the wife and husband of the Wu clan who was once banished, hereby swear that I will never turn my back on the witch clan for eternity. Whether you believe it or not, I will do my best to bring victory to the Wicans. As members of the Wu Clan, you must guard the Wu Clan and wait for me to come back!"

Edgeworth left, leaving only a silver glow. Now she didn't need to answer in the affirmative, or there were bursts of sighs and a crowd of people bowing down to her, even if the leader of the crowd was Elder Kong. Now that she has got the answer she wants, she no longer cares if her people still think of her as a witch daughter. The worries in her heart were swept away, her eyes were no longer guilty and confused, she smiled and took a bite of the sweet cake, the taste was still the same.

She must bring victory to the Witch Clan.

Edgeworth rose and headed straight for the capital, moving at full speed.
