After getting lost in the abandoned village, they gradually became confused and infatuated

"For their own benefit, they chose to become traitors and ruin the Guanggu family."

"Then they have to pay the price."

The old woman walked back to Optics Valley Falcon, helped him up, and said in a deep voice.

"As for what you just mentioned, why can't you kill them?"

"If I explain it a little bit, you'll understand."

"I and the five gods of Ise Shrine are from the same era. They are even a few years older than me."

"But now that I am old, they still have young bodies and full energy."

"Why do you think this is?"

Kotani Hayabusa answered almost without thinking.

"Longevity?!"

The old woman nodded: "It is very similar to Changsheng."

"Their lifespan has been artificially extended."

"The method of extension is related to the sacrificial ceremony."

"What I will talk about next will be the biggest secret in Jixiang Shrine and the source of all their sins."

Say it.

The old woman hit the ground hard with her cane, and then heard a rumbling sound.

A secret door was opened in the wall on one side.

"Let's go inside and talk."

Follow the old woman into the secret door and go all the way in.

Behind him, the secret door slammed shut, blocking everything out.

On both sides of the deep corridor, rows of swaying torches were hung. The two people shuttled among them, and their shadows continued to lengthen and change.

After a short time, the two of them arrived at the small room at the back.

There are no windows here, just a small opening above the head for ventilation.

In the center of the room, there is a slightly old wooden table and two chairs.

"Here, you don't have to worry about being overheard or someone breaking in."

"I can tell you everything I know."

The old woman sat on a chair with her crutch on her side.

The long conversation consumed her energy, and her old body became rickety due to lack of strength.

His speaking voice was not as confident as before and was a little erratic, but his enunciation was still clear.

The old woman couldn't help it for long, she needed to rest.

So, straight to the point.

"Actually, for shrine maidens, since they live in shrines all year round, their desire for wealth is not as strong as that of people outside."

"After all, no matter how much money you have, you can only stay at the shrine and not be able to spend it."

"If it were just money, no witch would risk being killed and choose to rebel."

"So, the reason why the five gods of Ise Shrine can incite so many people to rebel with them is that in addition to money, they also gave them a big pie."

"Eternal youth."

Although it has a similar meaning to longevity.

However, the key to staying young forever is appearance and posture.

Although the age will still increase with time, the appearance and body will always remain the same as when they were young.

However, it is not the immortality in Chinese fairy tales. Why would they choose to rebel just for the reason of eternal youth?

Optics Valley Falcon doesn't understand.

Seeing his doubts, the old woman answered him in time.

"Eternal youth may not be attractive to you."

"But have you forgotten, the shrine is full of women?"

"For a woman, there is nothing more desperate than watching herself grow older day by day but unable to do anything about it."

"What's more, they have been living in the shrine and have not even experienced the beauty of youth, so they can only be forced to accept the fact that they are aging."

"I don't think anyone will accept it."

Optics Valley Falcon's brows were knitted together.

"So, just for this reason?"

"Of course it's more than that." The old woman replied: "In addition to promising them eternal youth, the five gods also gave them a life span that is nearly double that of normal people."

"Longevity, eternal youth, and the resulting wealth."

"These three things, if taken individually, are not enough to make people break their trust."

"But what if you take out all three?"

"Even you, would you refuse?"

Optics Valley Falcon was silent.

It seemed that those five people indeed made an offer to the witches at that time that they could not refuse.

The old woman continued.

"But what was unexpected was that even though the five gods offered so many attractive conditions, many people still chose to refuse."

"So, the five gods of Ise Shrine made another promise that no one can refuse."

"That's...the qualification to go out."

"If you have immortality, beauty, and wealth that others envy, but you can only be imprisoned in this small Jixiang Shrine, what's the use?"

"It's nothing more than staying in the mountains of gold and silver and spending the rest of my life in desolation."

"But once you are eligible to go out, everything will completely change."

"They can use their massive wealth to experience the feasting, luxury and prosperity outside, and their young bodies can also allow them to indulge as much as they want."

"As expected."

"When the shrine maidens learned that the five gods promised them that they could go out, they chose to rebel with the people of Ise Shrine."

At this point, the old woman sneered mockingly.

She was laughing at the naivety of those witches at that time, and at the same time, she felt sorry for the members of the Optics Valley family who died because of it.

Who would have thought that the Guanggu family, who made huge sacrifices to guard the Gate of Hell, would be betrayed for such a boring reason and fall into the Gate of Hell.

"However, these traitors later received their due retribution."

"After the rebellion ended, the five gods took control of the entire shrine, so they believed that the shrine maidens who followed the rebellion had completely lost their value."

"So, in order to erase their own black history, they chose to kill the donkey and summon a large number of new witches. In the name of traitors, they threw those witches who had followed them in rebellion into the Gate of Hell."

"Haha... It's an ending that suits their status as traitors."

This is indeed a happy ending.

However, the old woman hasn’t talked about the most crucial content yet.

After clearing her throat, the old woman adjusted her sitting position to make herself as comfortable as possible.

"The cunning rabbit is dead, the lackey is cooking."

"Although the witches are dead, the eternal youth and increased lifespan that the five gods said are true."

"When the witches fall into the Gate of Underworld and are melted, in addition to producing black water, they will also produce a very small amount of transparent liquid."

"The specific reason why this liquid is produced is unknown until now. Based on the available information, it is speculated that these liquids seem to be related to the protection in the miko's body."

"Of course, none of that matters."

"The important thing is that as long as you drink these transparent liquids, you can keep yourself young forever and increase your lifespan to a certain extent."

"Furthermore, once you drink too much of this kind of thing, your body will undergo some changes and become something between a human and a shadow."

"It cannot be killed by traditional means. If the power of protection is not strong enough, it cannot cause harm to it."

"That's why I said, now is not the time."

Chapter 417 It is the sister’s responsibility to comfort her brother

Until now, Optics Valley Falcon finally understood.

In other words, the five gods who drank a large amount of liquid have become existences similar to Hotsujiji.

However, he is more threatening than Hotsujiji.

Optics Valley Falcon thought for a moment and continued to ask.

"Since they have such a trump card, why are they hiding in Ise Shrine?"

"They are the culprits of everything, so when I show up here, they will definitely expect me to settle accounts with them."

"And now I can't kill them. Why don't they take this opportunity to come out and kill me?"

"Instead, you choose to be locked in Ise Shrine and dare not come out?"

Hearing this, the old woman couldn't help laughing.

He sneered mockingly.

"They did have some courage when they rebelled."

"But when they have everything, they become timid and timid."

"They have a longer lifespan than ordinary people, the ability to stay young forever, and they also have a lot of wealth."

"They have too many things and are afraid that they will lose them if they are not careful, so they become as timid as mice and do not dare to take any risks."

"They are huddled in Ise Shrine and dare not come out, because they don't know how many power fragments you have absorbed now, and they don't know enough about your details."

"So, they won't act rashly until they have a thorough understanding of your background and abilities."

"In addition, there is another more important reason."

"Do you still remember what happened at the shrine's castle tower not long after you appeared in Jixiang Village?"

Optics Valley Falcon thought for a moment, and then immediately recalled it.

"Girl in white?!"

"Correct."

There was some sweat on the old woman's forehead.

She is very old and cannot sit for long periods of time, nor can she talk to others for long periods of time.

But what needs to be said must be said.

The old woman held on to the armrests of the chair, adjusted her posture again, and said that she could breathe a little more smoothly.

"The appearance of the girl in white can be said to have completely disrupted the plans of Ise Shrine."

"They don't know where this girl in white comes from, what her identity is, and where she stands."

"I don't know the details of your power, and a mysterious girl in white suddenly appeared. Now Ise Shrine is completely panicked."

"They don't dare to act rashly. Any decision needs to be thought over and over again before making it. This makes their orders and decisions always lag behind what actually happens."

"Everything is passive, but I still dare not let go and go out to have a try."

"These are the real reasons for the current situation."

The old woman has already explained everything about the shrine and Ise Jingu very clearly.

Guanggu Falcon also heard it clearly.
