Hearing this answer, Seto Chan blinked and then asked:
"Why did the lady ask for a sacrifice that day?"
"Because Lady Goddess needs to eat. If she doesn't eat enough, she will get angry, and when she gets angry, she will eat the uncles."
Xiao Cui's answer left Seto Chan unable to refute.
At this time, Fairy Lingyue beside her suddenly said:
"Does the goddess only eat people from the village?"
"Yes."
Xiao Cui's answer made Luo Shu look at Ling Yue Fairy:
"How to say?"
Among the people present, only Lingyue Fairy, the great demon, knew the most about the demons.
Therefore, Luo Shu asked this question after Fairy Lingyue asked.
Fairy Lingyue frowned at this time and said with a puzzled look:
"This monster has its own way of eating people."
"Generally speaking, monsters will first eat powerful mages. Their soul power can enhance the monster's power and cleanse the impurities in the power."
"Of course, they won't eat the whole thing. They usually just suck the soul from the air, leaving the mage with an intact body."
"If there is no magician, the monsters will eat children. Children's souls are pure. Although they are not as powerful as spiritual energy, they are also very nutritious. So they swallow them whole. After all, children don't weigh much."
"The next option is to eat the liver of an adult human. The liver is not only nutritious, but also serves as the body's energy circulation organ. Although the amount is small, it provides a lot of energy. There is less residue after eating it, unlike eating the whole liver of an ordinary person."
"And this only refers to eating people, not sucking their essence."
"There are two general situations where people from only one village are eaten, and adults are also eaten."
Fairy Ling Yue was somewhat uncertain when she said this, and could only guess:
".~ One is that the person being eaten has a special bloodline, and the other is because of the seal."
"Seal?" Luo Shu's expression changed, and he frowned and asked, "You mean, this goddess is sealed?"
The village, the sealed celestial being, Luo Shu vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such a character in the original work of Inuyasha.
But because he had never paid attention to it before, he only had an impression of it.
"Seal it."
Jinguji Jiuhuicheng narrowed his eyes and said with a mocking look:
"So this is ah."
"The ancients believed that the antidote would be near the things that made the poison, which is the so-called theory of yin and yang."
"So generally speaking, youkai believe that by eating humans living near the sealed location, they can release themselves from the seal."
"This idea is not wrong, it does have some effect."
"But in reality, it's not that cannibals can come into contact with the seal, but that people living in the area will naturally be infected with its power because of their daily contact with the seal."
"As for monsters, if they eat too many people who come into contact with the seal, some of the seal energy will be stored in their bodies. When it reaches a certain amount, it is possible to deceive the seal."
"Of course, this method of unlocking the system requires daily efforts and is also a gamble of luck. It is a method that only fools would use."
After hearing Jinguji Kyuuzumi's explanation, Luo Shu could understand the contempt in her tone, but the problem now was the matter of the angel.
Could this goddess be the important person related to Cong Yunya?
In this regard, Luo Shu's idea is very likely.
After all, Cong Yunya’s target could not possibly be ordinary villagers.
"In that case, the location where the goddess was sealed is very important."
Thinking of this, Luo Shu turned his head and looked at the village girl Xiao Cuichang:
"Let me ask you, where is the place where the goddess enjoys the sacrifice?"
Hearing this, Xiao Cui raised her empty eyes and said a place name:
——Bamboo Mirror Lake.
Chapter 197 Message
On the mountains near the village.
Next to a huge rock on the top of a mountain, Qingtian Fang, a tall and burly man with a rosary around his neck, came here.
"Did I arrive first?"
Seeing that there was no one around, Qingtian Fang couldn't help but guess.
As for what happened to Seto Can, Qingtianfang had never thought about such a thing.
Although Seto Can looks very petite, when it comes to strength, even Qingtian Fang is no match for her.
There's nothing I can do. After all, she's the daughter of a big monster.
Moreover, the other party's father was a fish demon who crossed the Dragon Gate and successfully transformed into a dragon. He was naturally an aristocrat among the monsters, and his power naturally overwhelmed Qingtianfang, which had no roots.
It can be said that Qingtianfang suspected that he was being plotted against by the villagers, but he did not suspect that Seto Can would be trapped in the village.
But now, it was his weaker side that arrived first.
"Maybe not the first step..."
Qingtian Fang approached the boulder in front of him with a hint of doubt.
At this time, Qingtian Fang focused his gaze and looked under the boulder.
Looking at the exposed dark soil, Qingtian Fang's expression suddenly changed:
"The stone has been moved."
After noticing this, Qingtianfang immediately realized something.
He looked at the huge rock in front of him that was almost as tall as himself, thought for a moment, rolled up his sleeves, slowly approached, and hugged the rock.
"Wake me up!!"
With a loud shout, a huge rock rose from the ground.
Qingtian Fang, who was hugging the boulder, turned his hands and spun the boulder like a basketball, almost turning it over completely.
It was after that that Qingtian Fang saw the words carved on the boulder.
[I have reunited with Minister Luo and will be heading to Zhujing Lake next. Please don't worry.]
[Also, Mr. Luo Shu said that Ms. Oikawa is at Kikyo Shrine in Musashi Province. (Smiley face)]
Upon seeing this news, Qingtianfang murmured to himself:
"Minister Luo? Is he the one from SDS?"
"Is Lady Xueli still at the Kikyo Shrine in Musashi Province?"
Qingtian Fang's expression suddenly changed. With a loud bang, he put down the huge rock and then wiped the stone with his rough big hands.
The grayish-white stone powder fell, and the words on the stone were wiped out by Qingtianfang.
It was at this moment that Qing Tianfang looked towards the forest behind him and shouted:
"Who are you?!!"
The huge roar turned into sound waves and rushed straight into the forest, shaking the big trees to the ground.
After the tree trunks fell one after another, a young and thin figure disappeared.
"Don't be so nervous."
The visitor smiled and said to Qingtianfang:
"You can call me 'Naraku'."
"Hmm? Half-demon?"
Qingtianfang vaguely sensed Naraku's evil aura and couldn't help but be a little surprised:
"This turbid demonic energy is just like an aggregation of small monsters."
Hearing Qingtianfang's words that hit home, a hint of displeasure flashed across Naraku's handsome face.
But after seeing the condensed and strange black evil spirit on Qingtian Fang, that displeasure was immediately covered up by Naraku.
"I don't think we should be enemies." Naraku smiled and raised his hands to indicate that he was not a threat.
"What do you want to say?" Qingtianfang looked at Naraku with a frown.
The smell of the other person gave him a feeling that he was good at "cheating".
This feeling was just like the monsters he had killed in the past when he followed the second generation leader of the Nura clan, Lord Koiban.
Instinctively, Qingtianfang doesn't like monsters like Naraku.
Noticing Qing Tian Fang's displeasure, Naraku still said patiently:
"You look like a demon, are you from Qingtianfang?"
"A monster transformed from a monk who broke his vows to protect human children."
Qing Tianfang did not refute, but just stared at Naraku.
At this time, Naraku smiled and said:
"You must have been to the village ahead, too?"
"What do you mean?" Qingtian Fang's expression darkened.
At this time, Naraku said with a smile:
"That village is called Tiannv Village. Of course, it is also called Jinghu Village because it is close to Zhujing Lake."
Naraku also gave a shocking news:
"Once upon a time, a celestial maiden came to that village."
"You must have heard of this story about a goddess bathing in a lake. Her clothes were stolen by villagers and she could never return to heaven. Right?"
"Seven Fairies? Princess Kaguya?" Qingtianfang frowned and said solemnly.
The story told by Naraku is a relatively well-known story about a goddess descending to earth and seeing the faces of mortals. It was first circulated in the great Celestial Empire to the west of the island country. Later, many variations appeared when it was spread to the island country, and Kaguya-hime is one of them.
"I don't know if she is Kaguya-hime, but she is definitely a celestial being."
When Naraku saw that Qingtianfang took the information he provided seriously, he immediately smiled and said:
"The celestial maiden whose feathered robe was stolen by the villagers could not return to heaven and could only wander in the human world."
"The villagers who took away the goddess' feather robe did not marry the goddess. Instead, they coveted her power, put on the feather robe, and tried to take over her body."
"A fight ensued between the two, and in the end the goddess was the better of the two and killed the villagers. However, even though the villagers died, they also made a backup plan and gave the feather robe to their descendants."
"Both sides suffered losses. The goddess lost her feather robe and could no longer return to heaven. She was sealed in the lake. The villagers who stole the feather robe also died. Only the feather robe was passed down from generation to generation to their descendants."
"What do you want to say?" Qingtian Fang's expression changed, and he realized that the half-demon target in front of him was the so-called celestial being or the feathered robe left by the celestial being.
Naraku couldn't help but smile when he saw Qing Tianfang's heartbeat:
"I have a bold idea."
-
In the forest beside Zhujing Lake.
Luo Shu stood on a low slope, looking at the Zhujing Lake not far away with an inquiring gaze.
"Have the villagers sent them away?" Luo Shu asked without turning his head.
"She has been sent back. Sister Jiu Huicheng also deleted her memory as you requested. Well, the mark I left on the mountain has also been moved. It should be Mr. Qingtianfang who has arrived."
Seto Can said this in a silly tone, completely ignoring the retort of "Who is your sister" from Jinguji Kuesumi who was preparing a ritual on the side.
Seeing this, Luo Shu just nodded, then narrowed his eyes and looked at the Bamboo Mirror Lake in front of him from the perspective of a messenger of disaster.
Looking at the lingering black aura of disaster that was floating on the lake like a dark cloud, Luo Shu couldn't help but mutter:
