Not a Witch

.......

The singing of the sacrificial dance is long and gentle, which is very different from the heavy and solemn past.In the middle of the shrine, the top wall has been opened.

The breeze from the hallway enters from the main entrance of the main hall, passes through a priestess who closed their eyes and prayed in low spirits, and then reaches the wide window connected to the sky, where the wind chimes sway, and several golden star pendants collide with each other, making a crisp and melodious sound. the sound of.

On the altar, there are no sundries, only the blossoming pure white flowers, emitting a delicate fragrance in the wind, spreading all over the place.

Outside the shrine is a lush and lush world.

Lush trees grow inside and outside the valley, and flowers of different sizes bloom in them. When the sun sets, the setting sun shines in from the opposite side of the valley, dipping the green mountains and plains layer by layer until The red clouds are everywhere, and the black clothes are bathed in red flames.

On the hillside in the afternoon, the bright sunlight fell on the grass, and a silver-haired girl stood in it.

The wind brings up the messy hair, and unknown small flowers sway in the wind along with the grass blades. Occasionally, one or two petals are peeled off, and blown to the distant blue sky with the wind.

Lorraine Hill looked at the lush and beautiful world in front of him, and slightly loosened his hands, feeling the joy of the wind passing through his fingers.

"What a beautiful place." A familiar and friendly voice came slowly from behind.

"Senior Sister Jinhua." Lorraine Hill turned her head, shielded the sun with the back of her hand, and looked at the woman happily.

"How are you doing recently? Are you recovering well?" Jinhua approached and touched the girl's head, and then the two sat on the hillside.

The wind rolled up the skirt from time to time, and the sun fell on the back, bringing a warm feeling.

"He's recovering well, he's not injured, but he's just a little sleepy." Lorraine Hill replied softly.

That night, she not only used her own natural power, but also used the ability of the Abundant Witch, so she was even more tired, and soon after that she was sleepy, and then she returned to the shrine to rest.

Fortunately, Jin Hua arrived soon with the support of the Xiang Yu faction, so everything settled down.

"Then go back to the faction and have a good rest, the cave in the Xiangyu faction is very suitable for self-cultivation." Jin Hua said so.

"Thank you, Senior Sister." Lorraine Hill agreed, then thought about it again, and asked carefully.

"Sister, won't you ask me what happened to me, or why?" She was a little worried about the trouble caused by her identity being exposed.

"Are you talking about your identity as a witch?" Jinhua asked softly, pulling up the hair next to her ear.

"Yes."

"That's it. Actually, for the Xiangyu faction, a witch is not a shocking thing." Jin Hua showed a faint smile on his side face.

"Because the Patriarch used to be with Chifeng and Huangniao, the two phoenixes of five virtues, and later saw many witches in the west, so the school left a lot of classics related to them, so it is not unfamiliar. .”

"Later, because our faction had a lot of friends with the West, later generations also often have witches here to make friends with, and I have seen many witches. It is not like other factions that are so afraid of or difficult to adapt to witches."

"Just like the witch in the red dress you met in Painefang City, Paine is used to it."

It turned out that, after hearing this, Lorraine Hill felt a little bit worried for the time being.

"It's just that it's really rare for a new generation of witches like you to stay at home and sleep, and run around." Jin Hua said jokingly.

"Woo..." Lorraine Hill buried her face in her arms.

"Then what do I have to do in the future?" Lorraine Hill was afraid that his identity would cause other troubles to the faction.

"Well, let me think about it...for the time being, it doesn't seem to be."

Then Jin Hua looked at Lorraine Hill again. "If you are worried, just stay here for a while."

"Now the monsters in the Ximu Mountains have been cleared away, and the broken caves in the ground have also been eliminated, and it is relatively stable. Besides, I'm afraid you won't be able to let it go for the time being if you were asked to leave so early."

"As for the safety issue, I think there is no need to worry too much with the Nine Phoenix Ghost Car. This is a rare eighth-order existence in the world. It is estimated that for a long time, few people can surpass it." Jin Hua looked at it. Looking at the girl on the side, his fingers lightly brushed the hair on her back.

"Yeah." Lorraine Hill agreed immediately, and she felt a little sleepy again.

"It's almost time to stay. You can also go to Zhaoye Palace. It's not far from here. It's on the west side of the Ximu Mountains. At present, Master Chiwu is also making friends there. Speaking of which, she was the one who introduced you to the door. "

"Hmm." Lorraine Hill opened and closed his eyes, feeling that the warm sunlight behind him had a hypnotic effect.

"Okay, you should have a good sleep first." Jinhua pillowed the frail girl on her lap, letting her have a good rest.

Looking at the slightly immature face in his arms, Jinhua's fingers lightly brushed his cheek.

"It's still very young..."

The clear sky is thousands of miles away, and the wind spreads in the wild, causing waves of ripples.

----------

A few weeks later, Lorraine Hill faintly woke up from a dream.

When I opened my eyes, the familiar gauze was still above my head, and it was still a sunny afternoon outside.

Bursts of cicadas chirped from a distance, their voices were willful and high, singing happily on the branches.

How long have I been sleeping? The girl propped herself up from the bed, and her satin-like hair slid off her shoulders.

Well, it seems that the hair has grown a lot.Looking at the silver hair reaching his waist, Lorraine stood up and put on his shoes.

She first looked in the mirror, then took out a set of clothes from the storage space to change into, combed her hair, and then tied it with the light blue ribbon sent by Refelica.

Well, it should be almost there.The girl looked at herself in the mirror, she was wearing a simple pure white dress, two strands of hair hung in front of her body, and the rest fell behind her.

After walking out of the room, the courtyard was still quiet, but a bird squatting on the millstone attracted the girl's attention.

This chubby Dai Ju seems to be taking a nap, with his eyes closed and his body huddled together, basking in the warm sun, looking very comfortable.

Lorraine Hill walked over lightly, and poked the little guy's abdomen with his fingers. Seeing that it smacked its lips and still didn't wake up, he shook his head amusedly, and stopped disturbing the little guy's nap.

When we came to the forest path behind the shrine, the cheerful chirping of cicadas echoed in the branches, full of midsummer songs.

Today's shrine seems to be relatively quiet, unlike the previous period when it was full of studying priestesses.

Lorraine Hill lifted her skirt, stepped up lightly, and walked in quietly. The hall was very empty, and a few pendant wind chimes swayed in the wind, making a soft sound. Looking outside the main entrance of the hall, there was an open space ahead. Full of blinding sunlight.

A little girl was leaning against a corner of the main hall to take a nap at the moment. She was sitting on a bench with a small bamboo dustpan beside her, in which were some unfinished green and red plums.

This child is called Caiwei, Lorraine Hill recalled the scene he encountered in the field outside the valley.

She didn't wake up the girl immediately, but turned around and looked at the shrine.

Just like the temples in the West, the shrines and temples in the East are also places where many people pray and place their spirits.

In addition to the phoenixes of the five virtues that are worshiped in various places, the local ancestors are generally worshiped, and some of them may be celebrities with outstanding meritorious deeds, or saints with great merit.

After Lorraine Hill came to this shrine, he also asked Granny Groo.Who is worshiped in the shrine? She didn't answer immediately.Instead, it talked about the original history of this shrine.

A long time ago, this place was a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, full of dense forests, and in the mountains there was a tall sacred tree named Xunmu.

And on the tree, there lived a jadeite jade dragon. It was an unknown number of kilometers long and had jade-like scales all over its body, which was very beautiful.And when it wanders among the trees, occasionally the scales fall off, and they will be picked up by the residents under the trees.

Since then, people who worshiped the sacred tree and the jade dragon built a shrine under the tree, named it Qianliu, which means a piece of light-colored glass-like jade.

The local people are also particularly fond of glass and jade, and often use them as pendants to hang on their foreheads, necks, and waists.

But one day, the emerald dragon flew away, and the Xunmu gradually withered. The local people felt deeply sad, but they had to accept this reality and walked out of the mountains slowly.

And because these people live under the shade of trees all the year round, their skin is pale, and they are quite different from outsiders. Some people who don't know what's inside call them ghosts, and then they evolve into ghosts.

After a long time, these people simply took this name and called themselves You Chi.They established a country here, gradually expanded outward, and gradually became stronger because of the fertile soil and water, and the harmony of wind and rain.Become a famous big country on the west side of the mainland.

So far, the Youkai clan has flourished, and this shrine has gradually been forgotten by people.

It wasn't until later that the country of Yu was destroyed, the capital was burned in the flames of war, and the rest of the residents fled in all directions, and finally gradually gathered around this shrine, and gradually stabilized.

"Then who is the priest in the shrine?" Lorraine Hill asked Granny Gro at that time.

"No, no one." Granny Ge Luo shook her head.

"In the early years, everyone put their hopes on Xunmu and Yulong. But when the dragon flew away, Xunmu withered, and people began to sacrifice to Jiuyou ghosts for protection."

"But the country of Youji was destroyed, and its sacrifice to the Nine Netherworld was banned. After that, people didn't know how to sacrifice again, and people didn't believe in the so-called ghosts and gods anymore...Everyone gradually became numb, thinking that this is the existence of The fate of the Chi clan."

"So the sacrificial places in the shrine are also vacant, and apart from this place, there are no other shrines in the mountains at sunset."

Time passed silently, and at some point, the shrine was reorganized and repaired, and now there are objects of worship.

Behind the wall is a circular window that opens to both sides, and star pendants hang from the window, and a bunch of white gloom flowers are placed horizontally on the wooden table as an offering.Simple and clear, there is a feeling of returning to basics.

When the wind passes through the main hall, the star pendants will collide with each other, making a crisp sound, adding a touch of melodiousness to the quiet shrine.

Looking at the hanging stars, Lorraine Hill felt a little shy in his mind when he recalled the scene he saw when he woke up that day.Unexpectedly, Qingling and those witches actually made the stars and wind the objects of sacrifice.

At that time, she wanted to have a good talk with Qingling, but Qingling said so.

"The important thing is not the object of sacrifice, but looking at such things, reminding everyone of beautiful things, and then the inner anxiety and uneasiness will be healed, and gradually settle down."

As a result, it was not easy for Lorraine Hill to change, so he had to acquiesce in the end.It's just that some conditions were added at the end, don't say her name, don't even need to express her image, just simple and plain faith, don't be fanatical.

Seeing this, Qingling also smiled and agreed one by one.

I don't know what's going on with the Youji clan now, have they lived a stable life?At this moment, thoughts in Lorraine Hill's mind were flying.

A joyful and cheerful voice sounded in the hall.

"His Highness Fengzhu is awake." Caiwei's footsteps stepped on the floor of the shrine, making a soft thud.

"Wind Blessing?" Lorraine Hill turned around.

"Yes, that's what Mom said." Caiwei explained excitedly.

In the prehistoric era, Wu Zhu had a very high status in the tribe, and sometimes even served as the patriarch. Among them, the peak of Wu Zhu was Si Zhu.That is, blessings of wind, blessings of rain, blessings of fire, and blessings of mountains.

It is often only among several large tribes that a Four Wishes will be born, and such a character does not exist in every generation, strength, talent, and opportunity are all indispensable.

Later, civilization was gradually established, and some countries would give other titles, such as Fengbo Yushi, Huoyaoxing Lord, etc., in various forms.

Later, the Plantagenet Dynasty was established, and in the final order of the court, Wu Zhu belonged to Chunguan, one of the officials of the four seasons.

Chunguan is in charge of sacrifices, etiquette, ceremonies, conferring titles, conferring officials and other matters, and is the head of all officials.

Xia Guan is in charge of agriculture, weaving, taxation, corvee and other matters, which is the most important weapon of the country.

Qiu Guan is in charge of judicial, supervision, criminal law and other matters, and is the mirror of the country.

Dongguan is in charge of armaments, forging weapons, training and mobilizing the guards in various places, and so on. They are the minions of the country.
