Chapter 52: The True Face of the Sacred Tree
The next day, without Yu weaving to call, Lin Yu also got up early.
Thinking about Haori's cheerful appearance every morning, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a wry smile, he was actually a little unaccustomed to the days when Haori didn't come to wake him up.
"Habit is such a terrible thing!"
Lin Yu shook his head, washed up briefly, and then went to wake up the two girls.
It was still early in the morning, and the people who were chosen to worship the sacred tree were not ready.
"Since you want to save Haori, it's better to save it together."
Ha Yi said, she asked Yu Shiki to inform the villagers where to meet in the open space in the middle of the village.
Not long after, the villagers, old and young, men and women, gathered in the center of the village, and strangely enough, many of them were wrapped in white robes, and most of these people had helplessness and reluctance in their eyes.
There are also many people, looking at these people wrapped in white robes, and there is a trace of sadness in their eyes.
Yuori is among them, she is also wrapped in a white robe, and her black hair is well combed, this posture makes her a little less lively and a little more mature and graceful.
Yu Weaving looked at the crowd in confusion, and looked at Lin Yu together, revealing a puzzled expression.
And Lin Yu gave her a reassuring look and said something to her, but there was no sound in this passage, only a mouth shape.
And Haori looked at it and silently learned the lip shape, "I will definitely not let you leave me!" ”
Haori's heart jumped, and she thought with a complicated feeling, "Does Hamura know?" What will he do? Would you disobey your mother for the sake of me, an ordinary girl? ”
When Lin Yu saw that everyone was almost there, he looked at Yu Yi, he probably guessed Yu Yi's thoughts.
After a while, Feather came back, and she nodded to Feather Coat, meaning that they were all here.
Yu Yi stepped forward and said to the villagers with uncertain faces: "I called everyone here today to announce an important matter, this matter was ordered to me by my mother before leaving, she said, this year's routine worship of the sacred tree has been canceled, so everyone who is ready to worship the sacred tree, go back." ”
Quiet!
First there was silence, then cheering, cheers breaking through the clouds.
The villagers shouted, "Long live Kaguya-sama!" ”
Only Yu Zhi had tears in his eyes, and looked at Lin Yu and the three of them gratefully.
"I said, this is good news, why do you have tears in your eyes? Laugh a little! Lin Yu came to Haori and rubbed her little head.
"Are people happy?"
Haori suddenly noticed the familiar lanyard around Lin Yu's neck, a flash of joy flashed in her eyes, she gently threw herself into Lin Yu's arms, and murmured in a low voice: "Hamura, you will definitely protect me, right?" ”
"Well, I will definitely protect you and will never let you be hurt in the slightest!" Lin Yu said firmly.
"Hey, hey..."
In the distance, Yu Yi and Yu Shi saw this scene, and their mood suddenly became bad.
Yu Yi thought to himself: "Why didn't I find out that Haori was so shameless before!" ”
Yu Shixin said: "Sure enough, I still don't want to save this fox spirit, so I'd better give her to the Divine Tree!" Ahhh Perverted brother, who was fascinated! ”
After the villagers cheered, they all dispersed happily.
And Lin Yu and the others also went back, they had to discuss what to do after that, against Kaguya's will, they would inevitably face Kaguya's anger next.
Thinking about Kaguya's desperately powerful power, their hearts sank.
"I already have a plan in mind, but before that, let's go to the end of the mountain to take a look, whether the sacred tree is good or bad, we really have to verify it with our own eyes to find out, right?"
"Yes."
Both Feather and Feather agreed with Lin Yu's opinion.
Lin Yu naturally knew the true face of the Divine Tree, and the reason why he put forward this opinion was that he wanted the two daughters, the key was to let the feather coat let go of the mustard in her heart, after all, although it was to help him, but let her fight Kaguya like this, she must be very entangled and struggling in her heart.
Lin Yu didn't want her to be secretly miserable, and all he had to do was let her see the true face of the Divine Tree with her own eyes, so that the idea of stopping Kaguya would rise from the depths of her heart, just like in the original book, so that her heart would not be disturbed by entanglement.
And for Yu Shi, he has no good way, and making such a decision is even more painful for her, after all, what she cares about most is her family.
Faced with this situation, he could only stay by her side more and use the magical thing of feelings to calm the pain in her heart.
They quietly left the village and headed in the direction of the Ridge of the End.
Soon, they came to this ridge, in the center of the ridge, there was a large basin, and a tree that was thousands of meters huge was rooted in the center of the basin.
Its branches are luxuriant, in great contrast to the barrenness of the surrounding mountains, its branches are thick and vigorous than the city walls, and its roots are knotted, like dragons rooted in the earth.
I heard that at that time, there were 14 flying demon beasts that broke through the barrier of the feather coat Amaterasu Black Flame and came here, 10 of them went to attack the village and were killed by Lin Yu, and 4 came to destroy the sacred tree, but naturally there is no need to think about it, and now I don't even see their corpses, but I am afraid that they have been absorbed as nutrients.
"Haori, open your eyes and take a look." Lin Yu said to Yu Shiqi beside him.
"Yes."
Yu Shi opened her reincarnation eyes and looked at the sacred tree, as if she had seen something, and a touch of surprise appeared on her face.
"Follow me."
Yu Shi jumped off the basin first and ran towards the root of the sacred tree, while Lin Yu and Yu Yi glanced at each other and hurriedly followed.
They came to the base of the sacred tree, there was a large space, in this space, there were rhizomes hovering on the ground, and on each rhizome, there were white cloth wraps, and the shape of these wraps was the shape of a human being.
It's like a mummy.
Yu Shi stepped forward first, and with a wave of his hand, a large white cloth package in front of him instantly shattered, revealing the true face inside, which was a human being.
"This!?"
Feather Coat was stunned, and went up to check on these people, and found that they were already dead, and even some of their skin had begun to turn white.
"They're all dead."
Lin Yu said: "These people should be those who came to worship, but I didn't expect that the offering would be like this." ”
"Not normal!"
Yu Shidao: "There are at least hundreds of places like this space, and in each place, there are at least three thousand dead bodies wrapped in white cloth like this, and only how many people come from various countries to worship each year?" It adds up to more than 2,000, how many years will it take to reach this number?! Something is clearly wrong! ”
"If you want to know the truth, I have a suggestion." Lin Yu took the opportunity to propose: "A few days ago, I met a strange frog, this frog seems to know something about the past, we might as well ask it." ”
"Good!"
Feather Cole nodded, and the tangle that had been hidden in her eyes disappeared.
At this moment, her expression is like that of a righteous police detective, eager to find out the truth and arrest the murderer.
