Chapter 171 Inheritance of the Soul, Bai Su's Second Envoy

Naijing, Shenqianle Taisha.

Shenqianle Lingmeng sat under the eaves, looking at the sky, she always felt that the sky was getting darker and gloomy recently.Even though it was sunny, it always gave her a sense of oppression.

Is grandma's prophecy true?Will there really be a catastrophe here in the future?That must be terrible...

On Shenqianle Reimu's petite face, there was a look of worry that did not match her age.

At this time, the voice of the great witch came from the house.

"Reimu, come in."

"Oh!"

Shenqianle Lingmeng entered the room, and was surprised to see that a strange magic circle was arranged in the center of the room, with some complicated and difficult symbols on it.Around the magic circle, there are also some items: peach sticks, wooden banners, imperial coins, bells, gold and silver fans...

"Grandma, this is..."

Reimu looked up and saw that the great witch was sitting behind the magic circle, her kind face was more firm than usual.

The great witch asked Reimu to sit down opposite her, with a strange magic circle between them.

For some reason, Reimu felt sad for a moment, and tears welled up from his eyes.

She raised her hand to wipe it in surprise: "How can I..."

"Reimu, child, your inspiration is so strong, it's amazing." The great witch said, "Many things have not happened yet, and you can feel the emotions when it comes... This kind of inspiration is destined to become a The most powerful Grand Priestess after the first Grand Priestess."

"..."

Reimu didn't know what to say, but she was indeed told all the time that her eyes were very precious, and that the eyes of the first great priestess of the Shenqianle clan were also the color of glass.It is said that she is destined to become a great witch who is comparable to or even surpasses the first generation.

These expectations weighed on her thin shoulders and took her breath away at times, but she mustered up the courage to bear it.However, she has always had a question in her mind. She is 17 years old this year and has been with the great witch for 12 years, but she has never learned any yin and yang techniques.

Although she is regarded by everyone as the heir to the Great Witch, so far, she does not know any yin and yang or divination.Except for the maiden costume, she is no different from an ordinary girl.

As if seeing through the doubts in her mind, the great witch said slowly: "Lingmeng, you must be very strange, why have I never taught you the Yin-Yang technique?"

Reimu nodded, she wanted to wipe away her tears, but found that there were more and more.Tears gushed from her eyes like a bank bursting, and her emotions were extremely sad.But she didn't even know why, or what was going to happen.

The great witch said: "Because the inheritance of witchcraft in our family does not rely on words or words, but on souls."

"Soul..." Reimu's voice trembled.

She thought of the same inexplicable sadness last time, and turned her head the next day, she found that a lark she raised had died.

"Through the magic circle ceremony, the witchcraft recorded in the soul is passed on to future generations. This is the inheritance method of our Shenqianle clan. Now, I want to pass on my 'soul' to you, Reimu. Just like The great witch of the previous generation passed on her soul to be the same as mine."

"No..." Lingmeng finally realized something, and shook his head in pain, "If you lose your soul, grandma, you will die!"

"Yes. But this is the fate of the Great Miko of our Shenqianle clan."

"I don't want...Grandma, you are not sick, and you are still in good health. Why do you do this! I don't want it!"

Reimu stood up emotionally, but the high priestess just sat quietly, slowly explaining her reasons.

"Son, I know you are very sad. I was also very sad at the beginning. Even if the great witch of the previous generation passed her soul to me before she died, I am still very sad. But the situation is different now."

"What's the difference! I don't understand!"

The big witch looked out of the house and said sadly: "The current Naijing is no longer safe."

"Not safe..."

"The ninja family and the Shanggong shogunate have long wanted to eradicate our Shenqianle clan. Our visit to the Daming Palace a few days ago will even annoy Shanggong Shingen. The Shanggong shogunate has announced everywhere in the past few days that it is the Bei'an Army Killed all the fishermen in Torioka Prefecture... aroused great enthusiasm, and a large number of people joined the Shanggong family."

Reimu half-understands what the great witch said. She hasn't experienced too much, so she can't understand the connection behind things like the great witch.

"Is the Bei'an Army really that scary?" she asked.

"The scary thing is Kamigong Shingen, he killed the fishermen." The big witch said, "If it was the Bei'an Army, then the Togaoka County City would not only have died of the government soldiers, but the people would have been safe and sound."

"Ah!" Reimu thought it was true, but she didn't understand why Shanggong Shingen wanted to kill those fishermen.So many innocent lives were killed just to put the blame on the Bei'an Army?

The great witch was both sad and emotional: "Reimu, the changeability and cruelty of people are unimaginable. You must not trust anyone in the future."

"grandmother……"

"The Shanggong family has encouraged the people, and they will definitely use this power. The Shenqianle clan may be the first to bear the brunt of the victims. Reimu, I have made arrangements. After the ceremony is over, you and the clan will leave together , to take refuge in the 'Land of No Dreams'."

"The land of no dreams? I, I don't know where that is..."

"You will know after the ceremony is over. Its location is contained in the soul."

Lingmeng's eyes were filled with tears, she absolutely did not want this to happen, but she knew that grandma had made up her mind.

"Son, for yourself, for the Shenqianle clan, and even for the future of the people on this land...you have to shoulder this responsibility. Come to me."

She called Reimu to her side, touched the latter's cheek tenderly, and said with a smile: "Grandma believes in you, and you will definitely become the greatest great witch, because you have a heart as clear as an exquisite one."

Reimu nodded vigorously, leaving only a strong reluctance and an imperceptible determination of a girl on her face.

……

Among the mountains of Qinzhou, there is a large cave dwelling.These cave dwellings are connected in series by passages.If there is no familiar person leading the way, strangers will only get lost in the intricate road when they come here.

At this moment, there are several figures walking from the cave dwelling. They are wearing green clothes and wearing ghost masks. Some of them are carrying bags on their shoulders, which seem to contain heavy objects, which makes the walk of those carrying them slow down.

A group of people came to a cave room with many porcelain vases. One person was holding a boning knife and standing behind a long and narrow table.The man glanced at the visitor and asked, "How much?"

"Five."

The five people took off the bags on their shoulders, opened the bag, and inside were five unconscious people.Their rough skin and simple clothes make them look like ordinary farmers.

The person holding the boning knife showed displeasure: "So few."

"Lord Guardian Zuo explained earlier that this is the last time to rob people from within Qingzhou." One person replied, "We can't go again in the future."

"Why is this?"

"Your Excellency said that now that Qingzhou is occupied by the Bei'an Army, the sect must be careful not to provoke it easily."

The man holding the Eviscerate said disdainfully: "People are afraid of Su Yuan, but we are afraid of a bird? No matter how powerful his army is, if he has the ability to enter this mountain, he will be dizzy and become the ghost of our sword."

"Lord Guardian Zuo has orders, we have to obey."

After everyone left, the bone-eviscer sucked his teeth and let out a tut sound.

"Forget it, five is five, let's see how much red we can release."

In a room located deep in the passage of the cave, two men were sitting opposite each other.They also wear masks on their faces, but they are different from ordinary fang ghosts. The masks they wear are engraved with words, one "left" and one "right", which is the "two white" of this Bai Sumen.

The two are talking about Qingzhou at the moment.

The right guardian said: "The master of the sect does not allow me to arrest people from Qingzhou, so I can only ask Qinzhou for it. It's really troublesome. It will cost twice as long to send people from Qinzhou to the gate."

Zuo Hufa said: "This is a last resort. The leader's blood skills are about to be completed, and it is only natural that he does not want to provoke the Bei'an Army at this juncture."

"Huh!" The Right Guardian snorted coldly, "Not to mention whether the Bei'an Army will go to war for a group of untouchables, even if they will, what is the use of the army in this deep mountain. If they can come and go freely, Qinzhou has long been defeated by others." Take it, instead of living alone in Jiangbei like it is now."

"Be careful sailing for ten thousand years, the sect master has his own considerations. Besides, when the sect master is successful, I, Bai Sumen, can take Qinzhou in one fell swoop. At that time, the sect master will be a fake state shepherd. You and I The benefits are also indispensable. If one person can share a city, wouldn't it be possible to become a city lord, which is not much more enjoyable than being inside the gate." Zuo Hufa said.

"It is!"

The two agreed on this aspect, and now they are waiting for the sect master to achieve great success, and then lead the disciples to take Qinzhou from those generals in one fell swoop.From then on, he became the emperor of the land in these mountains.

As for the disputes between Bei'an and Southern Zhou outside, they don't need to worry about it anymore, because they think that no matter who wins or loses, it is not easy to break into the mountains and regain Qinzhou.

Just at that moment, a disciple from the sect rushed over and knelt down to report: "Master Left Protector, Lord Protector Right, report urgently!"

Right protector said: "Say."

"There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that Su Yuan, the leader of the Bei'an Army, announced to the heroes of the rivers and lakes that he wants to get rid of our Bai Sumen, and called on the masters of the rivers and lakes to join him."

"What?!" Erbai said in unison.

After retreating to report to the disciples, the two looked at each other, and for a moment, Zuo Hufa smiled wryly: "This is Su Yuan!"

"He still dares to come for the truth..." Protector You hesitated for a moment, "The sect master should be notified of this matter."

"The sect master is practicing at a critical moment, and no one is allowed to disturb him. Otherwise, if he gets mad, the consequences will be unimaginable." Zuo Hufa was helpless, "It seems that this matter can only be handled by you and me."

The right protector said in a deep voice: "Alright! I'd like to see if Su Yuan's legendary Bei'an army, which has been victorious in all battles, can come into this mountain. I want to call all the disciples to strengthen the defense in the next few days. A trap is set up on the mountain road, and if anyone dares to come in, they will be sent to hell directly!"
