Chapter 1616 Death
Xiao Hua looked at Fairy Hongxia. The snow-white face was sprinkled with a faint blood red, which looked quite strange. An unspeakable wildness flashed from the dark red eyes!
"Si~" Xiao Hua took a breath, frowned slightly, and took a closer look. Only then did he realize that Fairy Hongxia's face was very calm, and the look in her eyes was also indifferent, but the blood-red color reflected This illusion can only be seen in those black eyes.
Even when Xiao Hua looked at Zi Ming, he was just average.
"Apart from the Great God Hou Tu's sacrifice night, what other role does Moon Cry have?" Xiao Hua's heart moved slightly and he asked again.
"This..." Ziming hesitated a little, and then said, "According to ancient legends, this Yuewei was originally the divine eye of the Great God Houtu. Under the bloody light, he searched all over Mengshan for right and wrong, and all the evil spirits were wiped out. Obliterate the bloodbath. Many of the sacrificial rituals in our Houtu village will be held on this night! In fact, if I want to light the soul-falling lamp at this time, it will be easy to get the blessing of the Houtu god. There’s no need for Elder Wu to take action!”
"Well, when my sister said this, I also thought of the Ghost Festival of our Dao Sect!" Fairy Hongxia interjected, "On the day of the Ghost Festival, the gate of Jiuyou opens, hundreds of ghosts roam the mountains, and all things avoid taboos~"
Zi Ming was a little unhappy after hearing this, but he looked at Xiao Hua and didn't say anything. After a while, he said again: "When the eyes of the Great God Houtu open, it is also the time when the arms of the Great God Houtu open wide. At this time If you can fall into the arms of the Great God Houtu, you will definitely gain the mercy of the Great God Houtu, and the spiritual consciousness of these descendants of Mengshan will be preserved forever, and the memory of this life will still be retained on the day of reincarnation..."
"Oh?" Xiao Hua was slightly stunned and asked curiously, "Isn't this...isn't this similar to my Dao Sect's... Ningzhibao?"
"What is Ningzhibao?" Ziming was puzzled again.
After Xiao Hua explained, Zi Ming smiled and said: "What the Ningzhibao has condensed are skills and other things, and what I, the people of Mengshan, have left behind are all the memories. Therefore, some elderly soul warriors feel that If I don’t have much life, I will tidy up my mantle and wait for the sacrifice night of the great god Houtu, so that I can return to the embrace of the great god Houtu safely and smoothly, so that I can retain all my memories and be reincarnated in the next life!”
"Sister, isn't this festival night guaranteed to happen in ten to a hundred years? Wouldn't it be in vain to prepare?" Fairy Hongxia said with a smile.
"Haha, yes, how can such a thing be put together?" Zi Ming also laughed, "According to the witchcraft book, there is only one in ten thousand that can really encounter it! Of course, as the saying goes, be prepared! If anyone gets the grace of the Great God Houtu, then..."
"Ouch~ I understand~" Just when Zi Ming was explaining, Xiao Hua suddenly woke up. I couldn't help but scream!
"Master Xiao?" Zi Ming looked at Xiao Hua in surprise.
Even Fairy Hongxia is also Daleng.
It is extremely rare for Xiao Hua to lose his composure like this!
"Master Keqin..." Xiao Hua frowned and said a little speechlessly, "His old man...but it's still wrong!!"
"Master Xiao, what's going on?" Ziming heard that Master Keqin was involved and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong with Master Keqin?"
"Alas. Master Keqin said some inexplicable words to Xiao when he was repairing the soul-falling lamp, which made Xiao very confused. Now when he hears Ziming talking about the night of sacrifice to the Great God Houtu, Xiao feels..." Keqin Although the master did not tell Xiao Hua to keep it a secret, Xiao Hua still explained vaguely, "Master Keqin is afraid that he already knows that tonight is the night of sacrifice for the great god Houtu, so he has already made a wish to die... Return to the embrace of God Houtu tonight!”
"Impossible!!" Zi Ming immediately said firmly after hearing this. "There is no pattern in the appearance of the festival night of Houtu Great God. It is impossible for anyone to know in advance that the festival night is coming! Moreover, Master Keqin took the rejuvenation pill. Even if he cannot restore his youth,... he will definitely not be able to restore his youth tonight. Just return to the embrace of the Great God Houtu!”
"But..." Xiao Hua naturally felt that such an explanation for this matter was a bit unbelievable, but if he thought about other reasons, he really couldn't think of them even if he thought about it!
"That's all~" Xiao Hua waved his hand. Said, “It’s okay not to mention it at this time!”
"No~" Zi Ming suddenly shouted, "Master Li, please stop the flying boat. I feel something bad!"
"What's wrong?" Li Zongbao has been driving the flying boat and just listened. After all, the soul cultivation and Dao sect have different traditions, and their explanations for the blood moon are also different. He and Zi Ming are not close, so it's better not to tell them. .
"I asked Master Keqin twice before to take action, but he didn't agree both times!" Ziming explained, "However, every time I would leave me to linger in the valley for a few days, but today there is something unusual. Although he He was a little tired, but he didn't send me out immediately! Especially, since he was tired, why did he send me to the reception desk in person? "
Xiao Hua was originally puzzled, but now he nodded. If he hadn't been worried about Xiao Mao and rushed to find Ziming's maid, he would never have come out of the valley so easily!
"Furthermore, I previously thought that those maids did not come to look for me because they encountered a drought demon..." Ziming continued, "But now that I think about it carefully, if they encountered a drought demon, they would definitely give me a hand as soon as possible. Send a message, even if they are all killed by the drought demon, I will definitely feel something..."
"Ah?" Xiao Hua was shocked, and after thinking about it carefully, it turned out to be true.
"Therefore, I have to return to the valley and make careful plans with Master Keqin..." Zi Ming said again, "We also need to use Master Keqin's Horcrux to find the whereabouts of my maids!"
"Brother, hurry... hurry back!" Xiao Hua nodded, and he also had a bad feeling in his heart. He didn't know whether it was because of Master Keqin's abnormality or the bloody moonlight. However, since Master Keqin treated him like this, he would definitely repay him with gratitude.
"Okay~" Li Zongbao followed his words, turned the flying boat, and flew to where he came from under the bloody moonlight.
Just in front of the flying boat, hundreds of miles away, it was also a bloody area. In a cave, there were dozens of natives in strange costumes. The faces of these natives were covered, revealing only two eyes.
And in the innermost part of the cave, there were nine people in black standing upright. These people were wrapped in black clothes, and no face could be seen at all, and it was impossible to tell whether they were soul warriors or natives.
The cave was shrouded in black fog. In the black fog, under the blood-red moonlight, a hazy place like the surface of the water revealed a faint orange-red spot. The spot moved slowly, then suddenly stopped, and then faded again...
"Jigujigu~" A native facing the fog hurriedly waved a Horcrux in his hand that looked like a water bottle, and then chanted a spell. As a green light fell, the spot became clear again.
"Hey, why... why did it turn around?" A hoarse voice sounded in astonishment.
"My Lord, I don't know... Maybe it's because of the sacrifice night that my soul magic failed?" The native argued hurriedly, "Or maybe she found something wrong..."
"It doesn't matter~" Before the native could finish his words, the hoarse voice waved his hand and ordered, "No matter where she goes this time... she will die without a burial place! If she returns... she will die faster! Let's go..."
As the Lord, who also concealed his figure, walked out of the cave, dozens of natives hurriedly followed him out. After the natives left, the nine people in black set off. The strange thing was that these nine people went together. They walked in unison, even though their faces were covered with black cloth, but they walked out of the cave very easily...
The bloody night... gradually passed, and the snow-like moonlight slowly came, like a belated awakening. When the flying boat was still a long way from the Soul Refining Cave, Xiao Hua couldn't help but release his Buddha consciousness. Seeing the situation on the reception desk and everything in the valley, he... finally understood the meaning of Master Keqin's words, and finally understood why Master Keqin invited him to observe him repairing the Soul-Falling Lamp. At the same time, he finally understood Master Keqin's painstaking efforts and helplessness to completely hand over his mantle to him.
"Master Keqin... how?" Ziming may have soul consciousness, but she obviously knows that her cultivation is not as good as Xiao Hua's. She is always observing Xiao Hua's expression. Seeing Xiao Hua's eyebrows raised, she immediately asked.
"Ziming..." Xiao Hua didn't know how to explain, so he just sighed and said, "Alas, you should see for yourself!"
Xiao Hua's sigh had said everything that should be said. Ziming felt cold in his heart and bit his lips with his pearly teeth! A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
From a distance, you can see that under the slanting moonlight, a small body is hunched and lying on the reception desk. Around this body, there are several corpses lying here and there. There is no blood near these corpses. The pale white moonlight, which is like the residual snow, is reflected by the reception desk and shines on the people of Mengshan who have returned to the embrace of Hou Tu God on the night of the sacrifice. The bloodstains on the top of their heads, the jagged cracks on the skull, and the dark holes between the cracks are really shocking.
Li Zongbao stopped the flying boat in the air. Before the flying boat fell, Ziming flew out of the flying boat, with some white mist entangled under his feet, and flew directly in front of Master Keqin.
"Master~" Ziming cried out in grief and bowed down.
Xiao Hua was also sighing in his heart, and his figure fell behind Ziming.
Master Keqin's eyes were wide open, but not closed. However, there was no disbelief or astonishment in his eyes, but an abnormal calmness, which made people seem to have insight and understanding.
"This..." Looking at Ziming's grief, Xiao Hua looked around again. The other disciples were far from being as detached as Master Keqin. Some of them had hideous faces, were abnormally panicked, or were at a loss. It seemed that they had not thought about their own death at all...
Ps: Thank you for the reward from "流水流花e", and I will add more chapters for him today and tomorrow! According to convention, it should be ten chapters today, but because I didn't write a word during the Spring Festival , I didn't have many manuscripts, so I cheated and updated five chapters every day.
