Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Skeleton Flower

With the resurrection of flesh and blood, Yu Xi's sanity gradually became clear.However, what dangled in front of his eyes was still the moment when he fell into the holy lake. The ecstasy and malice in the eyes of the red-clothed child were like the possession of a demon. I really love that look... He let out a breath the moment the blood curse pierced his chest, and he murmured vaguely, showing a strange smile.The golden rope with the blood curse wrapped around his body like a snake, nailing his limbs.The hell at the bottom of the holy lake burst open, and the child in red screamed, pushing him down toward hell——

"Go to hell! Yun Xi, go to hell!" The child possessed by a monster smiled coldly, and the child's face had the madness of an adult. It's so cute—at the moment of falling, he stretched out his hand, wanting to hug the child and pull her back to the ground.I remember that a hundred years ago, there was a priest who was claustrophobic in the ground. In such a deep place, there was no wind and no light. If he could hold this little red goblin and sleep there, it would be a kind of eternal sleep. However, the moment he touched the corner of her red skirt, he let go of his hand.

"Yun Xi, go to hell!" The sharp cry echoed in his ears, he fell into the lake full of evil spirits, was chased all the way, and sank to the bottom of the water.When they arrived at the Red Lotus Prison, unexpectedly, there was still a person there, looking up and watching him fall. His hands and feet were nailed to the transparent roof of the secret room by golden cables, and against the changing light of the blue water, the blood-stained white robe hung down and spread out like wings.Like a huge white bird that was wounded and trapped, there was an elegant cruelty to it. In the secret room of the dark blue water prison, the priest who had just recovered his human form was nailed to a golden rope, looking down at the girl who cried out in surprise.

The girl looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, but judging from her abnormally pale skin and sharp eyesight in the dark, she seemed to have been locked here for a long, long time. To his surprise, she recognized his identity the first time she saw him. Does this person who is imprisoned in the red lotus prison actually recognize himself? "Who are you?" After the flesh and blood in his throat had fully recovered, he let out a breath and asked weakly, "Why are you here?" ——Those who can be imprisoned here are certainly not the ordinary offenders.For some reason, he couldn't remember knowing this person at all.

"Lord Yun Xi, don't you know me? I'm Ah Che!" She replied, with a pure and eager face, wanting to reach out to touch him, but afraid of the golden rope covered with blood curses, She looked up at his current appearance, horrified, "My lord, you...how did you get locked up here? Who dares to make your lord look like this!" "Ache..." The priest on the golden rope closed his eyes. How many years have passed since Master Feng Ya passed away?fifty years?a hundred years?He has lived too long in this world.If he doesn't rely on meditation regularly to get rid of those images in his mind, those overlapping memories will accumulate together, and in the end it will definitely crush his head, right?

However, seeing the golden crescent moon mark still remaining on the cheek of the girl in the secret room, he suddenly understood who the person who had been imprisoned underwater for many years was indeed a child with status and status. It's Shen Che... the seventh Moon Worshiper he canonized! Ever since he was crowned King of Dali by Ding Jianhou of the Central Plains, politics and religion have been united, and the entire southern border is his world.As a priest who has gained unprecedented power, he is almost the most deviant in the centuries-old history of Moon Worship Sect—he completely abolished the annual Holy Lake Blood Sacrifice, and tore up the equal rights of priests that had been maintained for hundreds of years The false appearance of the evil spirit, arbitrarily abolishing the establishment, and taking life and death.Moreover, he sent his disciples to participate in the government affairs in southern Xinjiang, and collected taxes from the major villages in Miaojiang.

Under his auspices, Moon Worship has gradually transformed from a non-human religion to a ruler in power in the secular world.As a result, when the situation in the Central Plains changed again and the Dajing Dynasty changed, the Moon Worship Sect was conquered by the princes of the Central Plains, and finally had to hand over the power and return to Caoye. That was the biggest catastrophe encountered by the Moon Sect since Tingxuelou crossed Lancang to the south hundreds of years ago. He knew that the elders in the church had long been dissatisfied with him, but he didn't care - he knew that those old people didn't have the strength and courage to directly challenge him.So, he went his own way more and more.

Unlike the priests of previous generations, he was unwilling to choose the goddess of the moon among the old daughters in Miaojiang, but often took in the children of the people who were wandering, no matter how humble their origins were.If among those children there are those who are particularly intelligent and can understand and master those spells well, he will put them on the throne of jade and watch with a smile every move of those beautiful dolls amidst the crowds of worshipers. However, his patience is also limited. When he feels bored, he will depose the beautiful dolls that have grown up without warning, and then find a newer puppet to replace them.

In nearly a hundred years, he abolished and established many leaders. And the girl in front of her is just one of them—he took him in when she was three years old, and she started learning and teaching Chinese spells when she was not sensible.Then, among the two goddesses, Shen Che and Miu Bi, he chose this bright-eyed girl and sent her to the Jade Throne of the leader. She has no surname, but has a pair of clear and peaceful eyes, so he named her "Che". She became the leader of worshiping the moon, so those congregants respectfully called this little girl "Shen Che".

When he deposed her, the child was only eight years old - at that time he met Xiao Ye Zi, the little elf of Luo Fu Ye's family, so he did not hesitate to appoint that child as the leader.Five years have passed since he casually ordered to depose the eight-year-old Moon Worshiper—and this little girl who was locked in the underwater secret room is still alive? He overturned the fate of this child with one hand. Lift her up from the mire to the throne, and throw her into the dust like brushing away a speck of dust. But the funny thing is, he has long forgotten. "Before then, did you hate me?" Suddenly, he had a strange impulse, and he asked such a strange sentence.

"I don't hate it...it's just a little sad. I think, I must have done something wrong, so I made the priest angry..." Shen Che was stunned for a moment, and there was still unconcealable sadness in his eyes, "Now I finally understand , there's no reason, it's very simple, the priest doesn't want me—just like my father did back then." Yun Xi listened silently, without speaking, a wry smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth. why?Even he himself doesn't understand it. Originally, he had a fragmented soul. "So, now, are you starting to hate me?" He asked in a low voice. Standing in this secret room where she was imprisoned for five years, Shen Che raised his head and looked up at the man trapped by the golden rope on the top—waves of light came down from the top of his head, the blue was like a ghost, and there were countless dead spirits in the water above his head. cruising.And that person was nailed to the golden rope like a wounded white bird, and the white robe was splattered with bright red blood, hanging down like a broken wing. In childhood memories, You Zi can see the figure of this man looking down on all living beings and looking up to the world. And how humiliating it is to be imprisoned underwater like this now? She looked at the person who had abandoned her, her eyes were clear, she was silent for a long time, and slowly shook her head. After that, a long time passed. Two years, or three years? There are only the two of them in Red Lotus Prison, facing each other silently every day.Priest Yunxi was originally a man of few words, but after being locked in this secret room, he became even more taciturn. He kept silent even when the evil spirits came to bite his flesh and blood every day. She shrank under the ground, but every time she trembled in horror, she closed her eyes and couldn't bear to watch. —What kind of vicious blood curse is that?It actually makes people die once a day and come back to life again! I don't know what kind of blood curse is attached, those evil spirits cruising in the holy lake can come to the secret room through the golden rope every day, and go straight to Master Yunxi.However, the power possessed by the priest is so powerful that he can almost turn his back on life and death—the evil spirits eat his flesh and blood in the morning, but he can be resurrected at night. I have to die and live again every day, without end. She had to act as the only bystander.She felt that even watching that scene was a kind of torture.However, he actually endured in silence, without making a single sound from the beginning to the end, until the flesh and blood on his body was bitten off bit by bit, and those dark green eyes were especially able to look directly at his empty body. What a strange person... In his eyes, life and death seemed to be invisible, but nothingness. However, that kind of emptiness is not the feeling of forgetfulness after the technique has reached the transformation state, but a gloomy emptiness, like a bottomless swamp, in which there are many dead things floating and sinking. However, after such a day, it was she who collapsed first. "Get out of here, get out of here! Don't eat people, don't eat people anymore!" At that moment, she couldn't help but jumped up, waving her hands and rushing towards the group of evil spirits, screaming, I want to drive away those monsters that are eating human flesh and blood.She shook the golden cord vigorously, no matter what the dark blue fire ignited on it, burning her hands. Although those evil spirits came and went in and out of the secret room every day, they seemed to be restrained by something, and they never interfered with her.But seeing her provoke at this moment, he immediately opened his mouth fiercely, and bit down on her fiercely!The pale face that was approaching him was strangely familiar. However, she didn't have time to think about it, so she started to fight the evil spirit with her bare hands. Soon, she felt overwhelmed.There was gray and white smoke in front of his eyes, full of screams and screams.One after another, the evil spirits flew over, bared their white teeth, and bit her shoulder. She wanted to struggle, but her limbs wouldn't listen. "Jump!" Suddenly, there was a thin voice urging next to my ear, "Jump up and don't be afraid!" infant?Is the baby talking to her?What are you dancing? ... The only thing she knows is hopscotch. "Dance." The voice sighed slightly, and said to her, "When the skull flower blooms, the whole underworld will dance with you!" I don't know how the scuffle ended. She only remembered that the clicking sound was extremely dense behind her, and the bones all over the ground jumped following her, and all of them turned into sharp swords, stabbing at the group of undead.The gray smoke became thinner and lighter, and finally disappeared completely. All was silent.She stood at the center of the chamber, supporting her body on a long, thin, sharp white bone, precariously on the verge of falling.Blood flowed from more than a dozen wounds on her body, staining the ground and the bone sword in her hand red. The white bones all over the ground stood upright, with blood-stained tips, and slightly tilted around her as the center, as if silently paying tribute. Reflected in the blue water, those bones surrounding her are like a huge blooming chrysanthemum. "Dance of Bones?!" At the moment when all the evil spirits were expelled, the priest nailed to the golden rope saw an amazing scene in the secret room below, and a flash of light suddenly flashed in his eyes, which were usually neither happy nor angry. It was a little unbelievable Looking at this girl, he murmured, "Skull Flower... you can actually control Skull Flower!" It is one of the three major sorcerers in the sect, known as Soul Devourer and Blood Separation Dafa, and it has been lost for a long time since the death of Shen Ying's leader.Among the three major sorcerers, Soul Devourer is a technique for plundering power, and Blood Separation is a method for summoning evil spirits. Only the Skull Flower is an attack-type technique among the three major sorceries, and its destructive power is enough to frighten world. "I don't know what a skeleton flower is..." She sat down on the ground exhausted, threw away the bone in her hand, feeling the whiteness in front of her eyes, "I can only hopscotch. The baby told me to hop, so I hopped ..." As the energy gathered in her body dissipated, those bones that bloomed like flowers scattered in an uproar, forming a concentric circle on the ground. "Baby?" Yun Xi's gaze suddenly focused, with a sharp edge, "You said 'Baby'? Where is she?" "Huh, you know Ying?" Shen Che also became a little excited, but he couldn't see the companion sitting in the corner, and was surprised, "She was here just now, and she came here every day to give me mushrooms—do you mean that?" Never saw her?" "..." With just a glance, the person on Jinsuo fell silent. Since it is here, but he has "didn't see it" for such a long time, then there is only one explanation, and that is - the opponent's attainments in magic are even stronger than him! Moreover, she didn't want to come out to see herself. In this Moon Worship Sect, there is actually such a powerful mysterious master?After a moment of silence, a strange expression appeared in his eyes. Yunxi slowed down his voice, and smiled at Shen Che whispering: "Ah Che, next time she comes out, you can secretly point it out to me. Is it?" "Yeah!" The exhausted girl nodded casually, and was a little happy, "Does the priest also want to know her?" Yun Xi smiled silently, and there was an elusive light in his deep blue eyes. Panting slightly, Shen Che couldn't help laughing, imitating the baby's appearance, and hopped happily on one foot: "So I can defeat those evil spirits! Lord Yunxi, I will drive away those evil spirits for you every day from now on." The evil spirit!" "Don't you want to watch me being bitten by them?" Yun Xi asked with a slight smile. "Yes." Shen Che nodded seriously, "I don't want to do this." Yun Xi stared into those clear eyes, and suddenly sighed: "Why? In fact, I am not good to you—even if you die, I will not feel any difference from the death of an ant." "I don't know." Obviously hurt by those words, Shen Che showed a sad expression, frowned and thought for a while, with a stubborn expression in his eyes, "I just don't want to see this." "..." Yu Xi fell silent, looking down at the child who grew up in the darkness with dark blue eyes, for a long time, he suddenly said, "You are very similar to that person... with a pure white soul. There is a warm light .” "Who do you look like?" She was a little shy because she was praised for the first time, but she still couldn't help asking curiously. "My first leader was called Shamanhua." The priest's eyes were bottomless, looking at the person in front of him, he seemed to see another time and space, "And many, many years ago, I lost her." After these words, the secret room fell into a quagmire of silence again. Shen Che was a little nervous in this atmosphere, not knowing how to respond to the sudden soft attitude of the priest. "Master told me back then that a person like me has nothing in his heart and is unsustainable...I didn't know he was right until fifty years after his death." In Youlan's secret room, came The priest's blank words carried a certain air of emptiness, "My master eventually died of the desolation of his heart. I was afraid that I would become like him...so all these years, I have been looking for—looking for someone like her...or Yes, like Little Leaf." And Shen Che obviously didn't understand what he meant, but just looked at him inexplicably, his eyes were bright and clear.
