168.The Flame of Destruction II
There was even a nirvana move, Ye Yao couldn't help but secretly admire.
My aunt is worthy of being one of the best disciples of Kunlun Xu, and a beloved disciple under the throne of Daode Tianzun. She was able to move the Xize River and the entire "Lixun City" into the spiritual realm, adjusted the time of day and night, and prepared for the worst-case scenario, not only was she bold and thoughtful, but she also took care of mortals very thoroughly!
I pressed the wound on my leg and didn't feel a trace of pain. Chu Ya clenched her hands, gritted her teeth and said, "This is a secret that only the patriarchs of the past generations know. β
"But why are you telling us?" Ye Yao kept her mind.
"Because ......"
Chu Ya was silent for a while, as if she had made up her mind, and raised her head to meet Ye Yao's eyes, "Because there is a traitor in the clan." The night I was bitten, I clearly felt being pushed from behind. I don't know if that person wants my life alone, or the life of the entire tribe. Now, I'm ...... No one can believe it. β
As the leader of the clan, she was ashamed to say such a thing, and tears glistened in her eyes.
Over the past three hundred years, there have been several rebellions among the tribes. A small number of people believe that the evil spirits outside the peach forest are their former relatives and close friends, and it is better to go out and become their kind than to be in pain and resist like this. As the patriarch, she shoulders the life and death of the clan, and her ancestors naturally do their best to suppress it. Since she succeeded as patriarch, the clan has been so stable that it has almost forgotten the past and neglected to control the beliefs of the clan.
Now, how many people have rebelled and what are the intentions of these people? She could not guess or estimate at all.
The "secret" that has been passed down for hundreds of years can save everyone, but it is enough to ruin everything! Without full certainty and trust, she can't arrange for anyone to do that. Now, when the tribe is at stake, she can only ask a few outsiders for help.
Anxiety, sadness, sorrow, frustration...... All emotions were intertwined with her youthful face, and an invisible burden weighed on her. At the same age, she should be carefree at the same age, but she cares about the blessings and well-being of thousands of people, and hovers between life and death every day.
"Ahh
With a long sigh, all helplessness was silent.
Looking at her helpless but strong appearance, Ye Yao was a little moved, and said softly: "If it is really the blood spirit that hurts you, then we will also share the blessing and the curse." Patriarch, if you need any help, you might as well tell us about it. If we can do it, we can't say anything. β
"This ......"
Chu Ya's eyebrows moved, and she looked around vigilantly.
"Within a hundred steps, there is no one else. If I don't feel at ease, I can put a plague barrier and die if I touch it. Tu Tu said coldly on the side.
"What kind of 'account' do you have? What kind of 'death'!" Chu Ya looked at her in surprise.
"Ahem, ahemβ"
Ye Yao coughed twice in embarrassment, and quickly explained: "This little sister has very bright ears. No matter what the wind and grass does, you can't hide from her. She said that if there are no people around, there must be no people. β
Chu Ya nodded seriously, glanced to the southwest, and said word by word: "That tower, actually...... And not the tower. β
"Not a tower?!"
The three people surrounding her exclaimed at the same time.
"Actually, it's a lamp...... The lamp left to us by the goddess. Seeing that the three of them were at a loss, Chu Ya continued to explain: "That tower is a lighthouse, and there is a powerful 'Divine Fire' fire hidden in it, which can burn everything in the world, including thousands of evil spirits outside the peach forest! More than three hundred years ago, when the goddess sealed the 'murderous thing', the fire also fell silent together. To evoke it again, we need to put a tear left by the goddess on the wick. β
"Lamp...... Wick!" Ye Yao's tongue almost knotted.
She looked at Tu Tu, and the other party's eyes almost fell.
That knotted rope turned out to be a wick!
It's over, it's over! The little plague god actually pulled out the holy relic, the wick of life-saving!
"Patriarch, you ...... Have you ever seen a wick?" Ye Yao asked humbly. At the same time, put your hands behind your back and push the knotted rope in your sleeve in. If Chu Ya knew that the wick was in her hand, she was afraid that she would turn her face on the spot.
"Noβ"
Chu Ya shook her head, "Don't talk about the wick." We have never even seen the tears of the goddess. β
"Ah, that's good......" Ye Yao patted her chest.
"What did you say?" asked Chu Ya.
Ye Yao hurriedly changed her words: "I said, then...... But how is it good. β
While secretly waving her hand at Tu Di, she said to Chu Ya, "You want to burn all the evil spirits with the 'divine fire'?"
"Hmm!"
Chu Ya nodded decisively, "Half a month later, it will be the day of the fifteenth new moon." On that day, the night sky was dark, and all the evil spirits would come out and wander. I plan to set up a blood altar to lure them to the edge of the peach grove with the blood of the living, and then burn them all with 'divine fire'. β
After listening to her plan, Ye Yao was stunned for a long time.
"Will it be self-defeating?" she asked.
The peach forest is the barrier of the "Xun City" against the evil spirits, if the so-called "divine fire" can not burn the spirits, but let the peach forest burn down, then everyone's death will be greatly advanced.
Chu Ya was silent for a moment, silently rolling up her trouser legs.
Her thighs were wrapped in a thick white veil, revealing black and red blood. Untied the gauze in circles, under the cold moonlight, on the white legs, the fist-sized blood holes were hideous and terrifying.
"Look at ......," she poked at the wound, a wry smile.
Black blood flowed down, thick and weird.
It's clearly not mortal blood!
"Ahh
Although he had not seen the blood spirits and the wounds they caused with his own eyes, Chu Ya's injuries were the same as those described in the book - dirty blood leaking and not healing for a long time. The second half of the sentence: Becoming numb day by day, turning into a blood spirit.
Could it be that there really is a "blood spirit" in the spiritual realm?!
"Please...... Help me get back the tears of the goddess and destroy the evil spirits of the besieging city on the night of the new moon. Then take my people out of here and go to a new, fear-free life. Chu Ya suddenly half-knelt down.
Her wounds, dripping with black blood, fell on the stone slab.
"Don't, don'tβ"
Ye Yao hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and said helplessly: "Where are the 'tears' you said? We are all ordinary people, if you can't get them yourself, we may not be able to." β
Chu Ya avoided it vigorously and looked at her with pleading eyes.
"The bottom of the Yuzawa River. She squeezed four words out between her teeth.
"The bottom of the river?!" this time it was Xia Yu's turn to be shocked.
He didn't want to go into the water again!
Hearing "Xize", Ye Yao's heart was cold. It turned out that there was a secret hidden at the bottom of the river, no wonder Chu Ya was so nervous! Originally, she planned to find an opportunity to go into the water to find Meng Xu'an, so it seemed that she was thinking too much? Chu Ya didn't guess like that at all.
"Originally, we thought that the goddess would return soon, so we offered 'tears' in the temple. But a year, two years...... Ten years, twenty years have passed, and there is still no trace of her. After a while, resentful spirits appeared in the spiritual realm, and at first they were just wandering around, and only the weak could see them, and they did not affect us much. Later, many evil spirits turned into evil spirits and began to harass our people. The ancestors finally understood that every word left by the goddess had a deep meaning. In order to protect the lifeblood of our people, they began to plant peach trees according to the records of the 'holy book', and sent the best warriors with the best water nature to hide the 'tears' at the frozen bottom of the Yuzawa River to prevent it from being destroyed by rebellious people. Chu Ya said faintly.
"The bottom of the frozen river?" Ye Yao frowned.
The Xize River is the source of weak water, coming from the melting ice water of the Kunlun Snow Mountains. Although the river water is bitterly cold, it is a bit far-fetched to say that there is ice at the bottom of the water.
Seeing her suspicions, Chu Ya hurriedly said, "What I said is true! Originally, the ancestor patriarch put the 'tears' into the treasure box and sank them to the bottom of the water for storage. However, the warrior who sent the crate into the water came back and found that the bottom of the river was covered with a layer of ice, and there was a small ice cave. To be on the safe side, he placed the crate in the ice cellar. β
"It's not that we don't believe you. However, the waters of the Xize River are not small, and finding a treasure box from it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Ye Yao helped her up.
"It is written in the holy book that the ice cellar is at the point where the shadow of the spire of Midnight is pointing. Chu Ya said anxiously.
"That's right!"
She clasped Ye Yao's hand, "Although 'Lixun City' looks empty, the people rarely appear on the streets, and most of the houses are empty. But for hundreds of years against evil spirits, we are more vigilant than you can imagine. There are bright soldiers and secret sentries in every street and alley, not to mention a person, even a fly entering the city, it will be immediately noticed. Your friends, if you are sure that you are within the city, but you are not discovered by my people...... Probably in the middle of the river! As for his life and death, I have no way of knowing. After all...... Ordinary people must have died long ago after being in the water for so long. β
"Are you serious?!" Ye Yao grabbed her hand back.
"Hmm-"
Seeing that she seemed to be moved by her own words, Chu Ya hurriedly continued: "If any of you have a good water nature, please retrieve that tear for me." In return, I will give you all the wealth that I have accumulated over the centuries. β
"No β we don't need money. Ye Yao hurriedly waved her hand.
Chu Ya said, "Don't feel that we are pitiful to be trapped in the spiritual realm. We have a gold mine in this mountain. All these years, the tribe has been mining gold and stones, preparing to cast a temple of red gold for the goddess. As long as you can go out, everything else will be yours except for the rest of the people. β
"Shhhh
Tu Tu's expression changed suddenly, and he hurriedly said, "Someone is approaching, just a hundred steps away!"
......
After a while, an old man walked down the slope, and it was Feng Dapu who had just led the team away.
As soon as he saw them, he immediately hurried to catch up.
"Patriarch, so you're still here. Halfway down the road, the uncle still can't rest assured of you. The wound you suffered that day is healed, and Uncle will accompany you to the witch doctor!"

The moonlight shone on the river, and the dark water shimmered.
Reaching out, the river was bitterly cold.
Ye Yao raised her hand, pointed to her palm and said to Xia Yu: "I and Tu Tu went into the water to get things, and you stayed on the shore to be on guard." If there is anything wrong, summon me immediately. β
"Yes, Mistress!"
Standing a few steps away, Xia Yu, who didn't dare to move forward, nodded hurriedly, thanking her for saving her face in front of Tu Di.
"Plop-" jumped into the water, and a carp stood up and raised a large splash.
"Sister Yao, hurry up! The river is so cool and comfortable!" she urged as she paddled the water.
"It's comingβ"
Ye Yao responded, turned her head and glanced at Xia Yu, "You be careful, if you encounter danger, you must protect yourself." β
In her eyes, the little sword spirit is the same as the little plague god, they are both children and need to be taken care of.
"Whoaβ"
She slid into the water, the cold waves brushing her face with an indescribable kindness.
"Wait!Wait!" Xia Yu suddenly ran to the water's edge.
"What's wrong?" Ye Yao immediately swam back.
"This-"
Xia Yu took out something from his arms and handed it to her, "Here you go!"
"Huh?" Ye Yao was a little surprised.
It was something important, he was so anxious to give it to her.
She stretched out her wet hand, and a shiny shard was placed in her palm.
"This is what the previous master left me. A treasure that can turn evil into good fortune and turn disaster into auspiciousness! Here you go, you ...... Be careful!" Xia Yu blushed and said with a sigh of relief.
"Little Sword Spiritβ"
Ye Yao smiled, her soaked hair sticking to her face, "Thank you!"
