Chapter 343 Underground Palace
Years ago, the barren tribe was in turmoil, and many people died because of it.

But the big witch has always been contented in the witch temple, only caring about divination priests, rarely participating in power struggles among tribes.In those days, there was a lot of contention outside, but inside the witch temple it was as usual.

As long as the witch temple is stable and the desolate people's anxious hearts come here, it will be settled.

The Witch Temple is only responsible for appeasing the believers, but does not intervene in external battles. After all, no matter who is in charge, the status of the Witch Temple will not change.

Okay, so why did the big witch get seriously injured because of this?

Naturally, He Lingjiang couldn't solve the doubt in his heart now: "If you want to find out the facts, I'm afraid you have to visit the witch temple again."

Tidu nodded, and he continued to ask: "Miss He Qi suspects that there may be people from the shrine in the witch temple. During the journey today, have you found anything wrong?"

He Lingjiang shook his head slightly: "Based on what I saw today, it seems that there is something strange about the Dawu..."

"Then..." Tidu hesitated, "It can't be that the great witch is involved with the people of the shrine?"

"The Great Witch is over sixty now. He was born and raised in a barren tribe. He ascended to the position of Great Witch at the age of 28. It has been nearly forty years now. With such a status, there is really no need to be involved with the Divine Palace..."

"Who can say for sure?" He Lingjiang raised his eyebrows, "Isn't the leader of the rebels who caused the riots born and raised here? Some of the people under the command of the Jingu followed it because of their so-called beliefs. Some are for power and gain. People's hearts are unpredictable, who knows when other people have other thoughts?"

"However, it's just you and me guessing now, everything is uncertain." She sighed in a low voice, "We'll talk about it after we investigate."

Tidu responded: "The two of you were in the witch temple before, so you should have some idea of ​​the layout. It is not convenient to sneak into the depths during the daytime today, but when the night is quiet, you may be able to find some opportunities. If Naturally, it would be the best to find out what happened to the Great Witch."

"Are you two going to go tonight?"

He Lingjiang nodded: "The sooner the better."

When night fell, He Lingjiang and Pei You changed into night clothes and sneaked into the witch temple.

As night fell, the guards in the witch temple became more stringent. The courtyard she saw during the day was undoubtedly the residence of the great witch. Under the cover of night, formations were even formed around it to prevent outsiders from breaking in.

He Lingjiang made a formula in his hand, tapped his feet slightly, crossed the high wall to form a formation, and then unknowingly avoided the guards in the courtyard, and landed lightly on the roof diagonally opposite the main house with Pei You .

At this time, the night was getting darker, but the candles in the main house were still brightly lit.

Looking from this position, she could only see a silhouette falling on the window paper.Then, the man turned around and entered the inner room, but disappeared.

Looking at his figure and posture, he could be the sorceress she saw during the day.

He Lingjiang couldn't see the movements of the people in the house, and couldn't even hear the sound. However, as a practitioner, if she didn't want to startle the snake, she could only lie down here and wait secretly until the witch attendant retreated and the people in the house walked away. People fall asleep, and then get closer to check.

He Lingjiang leaned on the roof tiles, quietly staring at the opposite room.

Finally, with a "squeak", the door of the main house opened.

The person who walked out first, tall and thin, with a serious face, was the sorcerer he had seen during the day.

She turned sideways slightly, and whispered a few instructions to the waiter at the door, and after a while, two waiters came over carrying a bamboo sedan chair.

The witch waiter turned back and entered the room, and then saw her help a person out.

Under the dim light of the corridor, the man was wearing a toga coat, with a thin figure, and a hood on his head, covering most of his face.

However, the moment she sat on the bamboo sedan chair and raised her head slightly, He Lingjiang still saw her face in his eyes.

It was a wrinkled face, and the already depleted face looked even more gray under the dim light.

This face, she can be described as unforgettable!

Isn't it the old woman who took her body on the wasteland before, the female star envoy of the shrine?

She narrowed her eyes slightly, the barbarian witch turned out to be the star envoy of the shrine, even if she had suspected that the people of the witch temple might have colluded with the shrine, this result was a little unexpected to her.

"Go to the underground palace! From tonight onwards, the great witch will start to retreat and practice." The witch attendant ordered.

"Yes." Hearing a reply, the bamboo sedan chair was lifted up.

The people on the bamboo sedan chair were so light that the waiters couldn't feel the weight.

They were sad in their hearts. According to the rules of the witch temple, before the great witch passed away, he would go to the underground palace in the northwest corner of the witch temple to retreat, and then sit here.

After that, the witches and witch attendants will arrange the funeral affairs and related ceremonies. When everything is arranged properly, the witches can officially take over the position of the great witch and give birth to a new great witch.

Now the witch waiter said that he was practicing in closed doors, but looking at the physical condition of the big witch, he might not last long.

Although the witch attendant never said it outright, they have served the great witch in the witch temple since they were young, how could they not be aware of the meaning?The two couldn't help slowing down their pace, fearing that they would bump into the bamboo sedan chair on their shoulders.

He Lingjiang and Pei You looked at each other, and then followed them far behind.

It was already the dead of night, and the matter of the great witch moving to the underground palace was not announced to the people in the witch temple with great fanfare. Instead, he planned to wait until dawn before notifying everyone in the witch temple, and then notifying the chief minister and the followers of the barren people.

They traveled all the way, except for the patrolling guards, they didn't see anyone.

However, even the patrolling guards felt sad when they saw this situation. This great witch has been in power for nearly forty years...

There must be a good distance between the underground palace and the main hall of the witch temple.

After walking like this for about half an hour, everyone finally stopped in front of a simple and heavy building.

The building was made of countless boulders, with a huge stone gate in the middle, and two lanterns were hung on each side of the gate.

The witch waiter stepped forward and rubbed the edge of the stone door for a while, then the stone door opened in response to the sound, and the waiter carried the bamboo sedan chair, and gradually disappeared in front of his eyes.

Seeing that the voice at the stone gate was getting farther away, He Lingjiang gestured to Pei You, and the two stepped inside before the stone gate could barely close.

On the walls inside the underground palace, there were only some fluorites hanging on them, and there was a little bit of light, but it was very dark.

After the witch attendant came in, he used the torch in his hand to light up the oil lamp on the wall, and the whole underground palace suddenly lit up, and then he led the people to move on.

In the underground palace, there are several palaces. In the past, when the great witches or witches needed to retreat and practice, they would avoid being disturbed by outsiders, so they hid here.

But there is one place that is very special, only great witches who are about to die will retreat here.

Now, what they are going to is this place.
