Chapter 186: Witch?
"A wisp of soul between heaven and earth, fluttering and not knowing where to go, the ruins of Qianmo, ghosts, ghosts, ghosts ......"
"Where the soul returns, where the soul returns......"
"Where is the soul of those who danced in the past? How many descendants of those who shot the golden crow in the past? How high is the sky? How deep is the earth? The human heart may be measured, and how can the ghosts and gods be light?"
It seems to be singing but not singing, it seems to be singing not singing, with a little crazy, with a little dazed, and the erratic sound that makes people feel chills in the night sky spreads.
In the dark night, a short black shadow gently glided through the streets of Anyi City like a ghost, muttering some strange words and phrases, trembling and squirming forward step by step along the corner of the street. His clothes were in tatters, and his outfit was no different from that of the lowliest slave. The strange thing is that the soldiers who were patrolling the streets turned a blind eye to this man, and one by one they strode past the black shadow with their heads held high.
The black shadow staggered and slowly walked past the location of a bright restaurant. His strange humming voice spread into the restaurant with the night wind, and several young witches with strong bodies poked their heads out of the tall building angrily, looked around, and scolded angrily in a low voice: "Where are the dead people singing nonsense here?
A few witches in heavy armor were ordered to look in front of the restaurant for a while, but they couldn't find the black shadow not far from them, so they could only return to the restaurant with a stinky face, and were angrily drunk by those witches.
The red starling, who was disheveled, his face was red, and the smell of alcohol came out of his pores, and he ran back upstairs with those witches. Today is the celebration feast that the family of the starling opened for the starling. Because the red starling has relied on the strength that has skyrocketed in the past two years, he has entered the list of objects cultivated by the Great Xia Royal Court and the Witch Palace. For a small family attached to the Xingtian family, it was of great significance to be able to have the children of the family enter the list of 10,000 people.
The red starling, who was also elated, pulled a few brothers from his own family, and said with a grin: "I don't know where the lowly embryo is humming wildly, what are the brothers talking about with them? Hehe, I'm just about to tell you about the things that I have made under Brother Xia Jie's command!" About half of his brains had turned into red starlings with wine syrup, and he opened his big mouth and said nonsense excitedly: "Do you know how great Brother Xia Jie is? His lover, but Li Wu Zunli!"
"Wow~~~"
Loud exclamations and clamor poured out of the restaurant, shaking the streets outside.
The black shadow swayed lightly across the street, and continued slowly.
Xia Jie was carrying a pair of hands behind his back, and he was also moving slowly on the street in the middle of the night. More than a hundred feet behind him, dozens of great witches from the Li Wu Hall were slowly following behind him with his pace. These great witches were the guards sent to him by Han Xin, who feared that he would be counted in the city of Anyi.
As a man, Xia Jie's self-esteem is bound to not allow him to take refuge in Han Xin at all times, even if everyone in the world knows that Bai Jie or some other people are calculating Xia Jie, but Xia Jie also has to make certain gestures, and Xia Xin has to let Xia Jie show certain 'courage', 'martial bravery' and things like that at some point.
Therefore, less than two days after the top test, when Xia Jie was ordered to enter the palace and mediate the dispute between him and Xiang Liurou, it was naturally difficult for Han Xin to accompany him.
"What else is there in that black jade block besides some Chaos Vitality?"
"With the authority of the Great King, I ordered Xiang Liurou and I to completely reconcile, saying that we would sincerely cooperate for the sake of the future of Great Xia, what do you mean?"
"What's the purpose of selecting the so-called 10,000 elites to receive special training from the royal court and the witch palace?"
Xia Jie didn't like the current situation, there was too little intelligence information, and he couldn't draw any valuable conclusions from it.
Walking forward on the black hole with his hands behind his back, Xia Jie whispered: "The asymmetry of information brings about the asymmetry of combat effectiveness. Well, in many cases, basic force is the smallest factor that determines the strength of combat effectiveness. Alas, I'm still only fit to be a scavenger. ”
Sighing a few words of resentment about the division of labor in his previous life, Xia Jie suddenly jumped to the side of the road, looking at the triumphant, complacent, and arrogant Xiang Liurou riding a big python and leading hundreds of master guards to roar over, Xia Jie couldn't help but stomp his feet indignantly, and scolded in a low voice: "Even if we break down the grudge, but we can't settle the account?"
Viciously gestured two fingers towards Xiang Liurou's back, and spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm, Xia Jie laughed a few times.
It's okay, Xia Jie is not greedy for those money and things, just rely on it if he is relied upon. It's also a good thing to be able to let go of the conflict with the Xiangliu family, at least I can deal with the woman Bai Python wholeheartedly. Although he has never fought head-to-head in the real sense, Xia Jie always feels that Bai Ant is his most terrible opponent.
"Also, Yi Hao!" pursed his lips vigorously, Xia Jie muttered in a low voice, and was just about to whistle to greet Bai who didn't know where he had jumped to steal chickens and dogs, when in the shadows of the corner of the house on the side of the road, a hoarse voice suddenly came: "Xia Jie? The fierce weather of Great Xia, the famous right-hand man in recent years, the great hero of the Great King Lu Gui taking over the throne, the great hero who slaughtered Dongyi, the hero who swept away the sea people, Xia Jie?"
"Who is it?" Xia Jie's body tensed violently, and two yellow lights burst out from his eyes, illuminating the corner of the house.
However, a very faint cyan mist diffused near the corner of the house, and as soon as the strong light from Xia Jie's eyes touched the mist, it was like a drop of water seeping into the sand, disappearing without a trace. A wisp of black shadow loomed in the mist, and he continued to ask in a hoarse voice like a bronze bell: "Xia Jie, who has such martial arts, do you know what a witch is?"
Dozens of great witches of the Li Wu Hall had already caught up behind, and they surrounded Xia Jie, staring at the cyan mist with unkind eyes. Han Xin gave them a death order behind his back, if Xia Jie was missing a hair, they would have to be buried with the whole family. Under such a harsh order, how could these great witches dare to be careless? They all pinched the witch tricks, and their fingers were entwined with wisps of cyan, black, and purple strange energy, and a subtle smell of grass gradually drifted out with the wind.
"I, no malice. ”
With that hoarse voice, the short black shadow slowly walked out of the green mist. Bending his waist, the black shadow slowly spread his hands and whispered, "You see, I can't pose any threat to the fierce weather. ”
The divine consciousness of several great witches swept over the black shadow furiously, and at the same time sneered, quickly dissipating the magic power that was condensed on their bodies. This person's strength is ridiculously low, even inferior to ordinary civilians, and his body is empty and can't accumulate even a little magic power, so he is a waste at all.
Xia Jie didn't dare to be careless, with his current cultivation, even his gaze was enough to penetrate the golden stone, and the big witches behind him didn't see that their eyes were absorbed by the green mist, but Xia Jie himself clearly knew that the black shadow in front of him was not an easy person to deal with.
Waving his hand to signal the great witches around him to disperse, forming a seemingly loose but heavily guarded encirclement nearby, Xia Jie cautiously took a few steps back, and secretly held the Wind and Fire Qiankun Qian and the Extinction Seal in his hand, and then nodded at the man and responded: "Your Excellency, what do you have to say?"
As soon as the black shadow took a step forward, Xia Jie suddenly shouted: "No, no, it's there, please stand there, otherwise, in case I miss." Xia Jie unabashedly showed the magic weapon held in his two hands, and suddenly the treasure light and rui qi rippled out, reflecting half of the street in light and shadow, like a fairy realm. The Great Witches also took a step closer nervously, and a thick force covered the body of this black shadow, and at the same time, someone shouted: "Stand back!
The black shadow gently spread his hands and said softly, "Oh?
The muddy man took a few steps back, and the black shadow said in a low voice: "So, O witch, do you know what a witch is?"
The black shadow crouched down, stretched out a finger with a strange color and an extremely old look, and it was densely covered with cyan markings similar to patina, and gently drew a simple and vigorous font on the thick stone slab on the street--witch.
The ancient word 'witch', two horizontal up and down, symbolizes heaven and earth, and a vertical one in the middle, which is a comparison of the rules between heaven and earth. Subsequently, the middle was horizontal, and the left and right were heavily down. The black shadow whispered: "The top and bottom are the sky, and the middle is the people, everyone is equal to one, and they maintain each other, and they are witches." ”
Looking at the ancient word 'witch' that looked like a cross, Xia Jie also squatted on the ground, stretched out his finger and wrote the word 'witch' in block letters on the ground. He shouted in a deep voice: "There are people between heaven and earth, who are witches. ”
The black shadow asked urgently, "There are people in heaven and earth, who are witches, and who are witches?"
He pointed to the word 'witch' written by Xia Jie, and said in a cold voice: "Your witch word, there is no reason, the people between heaven and earth are separated, although they stand tall between heaven and earth and fight against the way of heaven and earth, they are not witches. Even if he has the power of a witch, is a witch who is separated from others still a witch?"
Xia Jie was silent, he looked at the black shadow puzzled, Xia Jie had no answer to his question. The witch character written by the black shadow seems to have some truth, and it is the witch who unites and supports each other between heaven and earth. But it doesn't seem that the witch character I wrote is wrong?" "Well, it's nothing more than a change in the font glyph, what's wrong?"
"Wu, what is Wu?" the black shadow squatted on the ground as if talking to himself, and asked Xia Jie vaguely.
Xia Jie shook his head, he had never thought about what a witch was. For this kind of almost philosophical problem, even if he thinks about it, a reincarnated agent, a person who is accustomed to solving problems with violence, what is the point?
"In ancient times, fierce beasts were rampant in the wilderness, and spirits, demons, and even gods, monsters, ghosts, and ghosts ruled the earth. The dark shadow said faintly: "The people of antiquity, your ancestors, were born in the land of Kyushu, prayed to heaven in the flood, struggled to survive in the wildfire, lay in wait for thousands of miles in the epidemic, and flowed rivers of blood under the minions of fierce beasts. ”
"Your ancestors, almost wiped out, weeping and wailing, the anger of resentment rushed to the sky, and the heavens and the earth shook. ”
"Tianxin is the most benevolent, and there are witches among the people at that time. Enlighten the way of heaven, understand the principles of heaven, and have infinite power. He is a sorcerer, the head of a clan, who saves the people of the world from the danger of destruction, and pulls out the ancestors of the human race from the realm of destruction. At that time, the fierce beasts bowed their heads, the spirits and demons retreated thousands of miles, and the gods, saints, ghosts, ghosts, and even all the innate supernatural powers were forced by the witches, so that the human race divided the land and lived, and finally lived in peace. ”
"Witches, there are people in heaven and earth, equal and unique, supporting each other, and being witches. The black shadow said in a deep voice: "Relieve the pain, solve the confusion, relieve the calamity, and relieve all the pain." Palm ritual law, hold the tradition, so that the human race continues to spread in Kyushu, is for witches. ”
Xia Jie thought of the Wu Gong in the Chihu Clan, and an extremely warm smile suddenly appeared on his face. He instinctively lost his guard against the dark shadow. In an instant, on the black shadow, there was an unusually familiar aura of Xia Jie, which caused the magic power in his body to move, and a hot air flow in the sea of consciousness was faintly expanding, and the pores of the whole body were expanding, and the magic power in the body communicated with all the heaven and earth yuan forces in the outside world.
What a familiar energy fluctuation? Xia Jie looked at the black shadow, thinking about the fluctuations on the black shadow's body, where he had sensed it.
"Wu is a great wise man. Only the wise man is a witch. The black shadow said lightly, and his words made Xia Jie nod again and again, thinking deeply. Not only Xia Jie, but even the great witches of the Li Witch Hall also listened attentively to the narration of this black shadow, like a song from the ancient desolation of the Great Witch, this dark street, at this moment, actually has a sacred and solemn taste. The cyan mist covered half of the street, like a separate void, and people from the outside could no longer perceive it, as if the street no longer existed in this world.
Witch, what is a witch? The great wise man and the great compassionate person who led the ancestors to struggle for survival in the desolate land are witches.
They are the leaders of the ancestral tribes, and the inheritors and disseminators of all the wisdom of the ancestors. With their wisdom and knowledge passed down from generation to generation, they guided the ancestors to multiply and constantly expand their living space in Kyushu. They use their own powerful strength to protect the ancestors of the tribe, there is no difference between witches, nobles, commoners, and slaves, and witches use their own strength to protect all people in the tribe equally.
The power of witches dispelled the threat of nature to the ancestors, and forced those who were born with great powers such as gods, monsters, and demons, leaving room for the weak ancestors to live and nurture.
At that time, the wisdom of the witch was like a spring rain, nourishing the ancestors of the tribe, and at that time, the power of the witch was like a sickle, harvesting all the existence that threatened the ancestors.
Heaven and earth, unite as one, with their own great strength to forcibly fight against heaven and earth, this is the witch!
"Wu is for a loving father and a loving mother. Medicine, music, rituals, dance, and farming at all times are the duties of witches. The black shadow said faintly: "Countless years of struggle to survive have made the development of the witch way, and in that daily need, various witchcraft and witchcraft have been developed. In ancient times, the ancestors were one, and there was no distinction between witches and people. ”
The black shadow raised his head, glanced at Xia Jie deeply, and asked in a low voice, "Xia Jie, are you a witch?"
The voice was slight, but it was like a big clock ringing in his ears, which shook Xia Jie's forehead with cold sweat, and his heart was wet and cold, and he didn't speak for a long time.
"At this time, in Kyushu, is there still a witch?"
The black shadow sneered a few times, and then said coldly in a plain voice without the slightest emotion: "Da Xia, is there still a witch? In the past, Dayu controlled the water and saved all the people in the world from the flood, and all the people were excited and encouraged, kneeling and begging Dayu to be the king. King Yu is the people of the world, counting the doors of the house without entering, in order to control the fierce beasts in the floods, he has experienced several deaths and endlessly. ”
"The witches under the throne of Yu sacrificed their lives to pacify countless demons and spirits in Kyushu, and finally got a happy land in Great Xia. ”
"Ran Yu Wang collapsed, after dozens of generations of descendants, Daxia, is there still a witch?"
The voice of the black shadow suddenly became extremely high-pitched and excited, and his voice also became like a roar of the Great Ding, which shocked Xia Jie and the Great Witch, and even a few of the weakest cultivators were shocked and fainted, and blood spurted out of their mouths. The black shadow rebuked angrily: "In ancient times, the ancestors sacrificed to the gods of heaven and earth and the souls of their ancestors, burned wood for incense, weaved grass for dogs, and sacrificed grains as respect. It is time to sacrifice, but the ancestors' reverence for all things in heaven and earth arises spontaneously from the bottom of their hearts, respecting the heavens, respecting the earth, and worshiping the ancestors. ”
"And now, in order to borrow power, you slaughter hundreds of millions of living beings as sacrifices, how many of them are in accordance with heaven and earth and ancestors?"
Xia Jie took a long breath, he bowed his head and said nothing. The great witches of the Witch Hall were pale and speechless. In the last few years, Great Xia and Dongyi have fought against the seamen, and in order to seek great power, they have slaughtered countless slaves and civilians, and used witchcraft to borrow power from heaven and earth.
In comparison, how different is the nature of the sacrifice of the ancestors and the sacrifice of today?
The black shadow snorted coldly: "The ancient witch is no different from the ancestors. Today's witch, who still understands the meaning of 'witch way'?"
He said mockingly and disdainfully: "Wait, what do you know besides pursuing strong witch power?
Shaking his head, the black shadow said lightly: "No one will go to the Hidden Witch Hall to comprehend those classics. What today's witches are pursuing is only to master the maximum magic power in the shortest possible time. ”
He pointed at the great witch of the Li Witch Hall and reprimanded: "The people of the Li Witch Palace, can any of the witch medicines you study today be made for the common people of the world?
Suddenly, the black shadow shouted angrily: "Ridiculous! The ancient witches searched all over the world and found 1.08 million kinds of poisons and recorded them in the Li Jing, in order to warn and teach the ancestors not to touch such poisons so as not to harm their lives. And what you are doing today is worthy of those ancestors of the Li Wu Palace? Can there still be people in the Li Wu Hall today who can distinguish the names and attributes of those 1.08 million poisons?"
Xia Jie sweated, and he secretly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. One hundred and eighty thousand? jokes, he Xia Jie can recognize the raw materials of one hundred and eight kinds of poisons, it is good.
The great witch of the Li Witch Palace, you look at me, I look at you, in the face of the black shadow, they instinctively gave birth to a sense of awe, and one by one obediently took a few steps back, and no one dared to say anything.
In today's Li Wu Palace, perhaps Qing Yu is the witch who can identify the most poisons, and she can identify at least 100,000 highly poisonous materials. However, it is only highly toxic material. She recognized the purpose of these materials, it was obvious that it was not to remind the ordinary people of Great Xia that these poisons were inaccessible, but purely to formulate a more efficient and faster voodoo.
The black shadow compared: "The Heavenly Witch Palace's "Huanyu Point Star Record", the "Book from the Earth" in the Earth Witch Palace, the "Three Realms Spirit Book" in the Spirit Witch Palace, and the "Cang Ying Sutra" in the Ghost Witch Palace, are there still people studying the things recorded in these classics?
No one said anything anymore, and the faces of several of the Li Wu Hall Great Witches, who were the oldest and the oldest, lowered their heads red, which made them unable to figure out the black shadows of the road, and made them very rare that they did not have the courage to face it.
"Now those witches who are high up in the sky, who use all the people as dogs, who kill and take away life, and use the magic power that should be used to protect the people to kill to their heart's content, are they still witches?"
The shadow stood up and staggered in the direction of the palace.
He said in a deep voice, "It's come to this point, ...... Wu"
"On the earth of the world, in the Three Realms, in the territory of Kyushu, do you still need witches?"
The faint sigh, like an elegy at a funeral, made Xia Jie and the others feel creepy for a while, and sticky cold sweat gushed out of their bodies, and the whole body was cold.
"Who is this person?" Xia Jie asked himself in shock.
Who is this person who came to Xia Jie inexplicably and told Xia Jie about the interpretation of the half-day witch?
