I Forged the Myth of the Old Ones

The islanders bowed and kowtowed to Changfeng Island one after another, offering their piety and faith.

At this moment, someone saw two figures in the flames.

One of them was tall and handsome.

In front of him stood a petite girl.

The girl's black hair fluttered in the wind, and pale flames condensed in her amber eyes.

"The Son of God has appeared!!!"

"My lord, my lord!"

"We are saved, we are saved"

The ignorant islanders thought it was the chief priestess of Hejima Taisha Shrine, their voices trembled more and more, and they surrendered to this supernatural power.

Only Lu Jian knew that a young girl had disappeared in this pure fire.

From now on, she will be Kohaku, the next chief priestess of Hejima Taisha.

===351. The Most Exalted and Noble Body===

"There is filth so close to the waterway. What is the island doing? What, the island is dead, so it's okay."

A seemingly young and promising man complained, and the people beside him whispered something in his ear, before he waved his hand, and then looked at a man and a woman standing in front of him.

"Master Miko, it was our negligence that made you tired."

The man immediately put on a flattering smile again, and said to the woman in the red and white priestess costume.

"It's already here, presumably some people don't have the guts to do it again."

Woman, Amber said lightly.

"Where, where, our club must welcome the Miko-sama, please rest assured, we will provide the most thoughtful protection, from Qiushan Island to He Island, you will never see anything you don't want to see."

The man said with a smile.

"Your Majesty is the priest sent by the Wajima Taisha Shrine to meet the Miko, Xia Dao. Next, I will arrange the itinerary of the Miko. As for this mercenary, thank you very much for escorting the Miko. We will meet you later. I will give you three times the agreed remuneration as a thank you."

He wanted to send Lu Jian away.

Although he didn't know the background of this mercenary, he was alone with Miko-sama. Even if nothing happened, if others found out, they would gossip. In order to avoid trouble, it is best to send them away.

"The commission I accepted was to escort Kohaku to Hejima Taisha."

Lu Bian replied.

"Here, Your Excellency, Mercenary, you need to know your position. Some people may use the journey of the two of you as an excuse. This is for Hejima Taisha"

Xia Dao still wanted to persuade, but Amber had already spoken.

"He's walking with me."

That being the case, Xia Dao could only follow suit.

Anyway, if there is really something between them, it will be found out in the election of Hejima Taisha.

Watching Xia Dao leave the room, Hu Po's tight sitting posture suddenly relaxed.

"I don't know where to start, I'm not used to this kind of life anymore."

Her tone was somewhat helpless.

"What will happen to Changfeng Island?"

Lu Bian asked.

The Qiushan Island where they are located is the closest to Changfeng Island. At night, you can see the flickering fire in the distance. This fire may become the story of the mother on Qiushan Island scaring the sleepless children, and it will continue until here All the people moved away.

According to the experience of Hedao Taisha, the clean fire of Changfeng Island will burn for about ten years before completely burning the island, and then it will spread into the sea water. After 50 years, this Akiyama Island will face the danger of being purified and burned , and before that, everyone on the island will be relocated.

Therefore, the name of the Qiushan Channel will be changed, and the voyage will be extended, bypassing Changfeng Island and Qiushan Island.

Until one day in the future, the filth attacked some of the islands in the middle again. In the long-term tug-of-war between people and filth, this channel was completely cut off, and the people of Sakurajima would only have to take a longer detour to Hejima .

Lu Jian also heard that some islands are more miserable. They themselves have not been eroded and attacked by filth, but all the islands around them have been polluted. The Jinghuo gradually turned the surrounding sea area into a sea of ​​flames. It is completely isolated from the outside world.

If the people on the island fail to evacuate in time, then they will feel the real slow death, watching the pale and colorful flame that should have been their own salvation devour the land they live on bit by bit, and finally burn everything the end of

"Residents in Changfeng Island and its surrounding areas will be evacuated and relocated. She Fengxing will take over here and warn ships passing by."

Amber said with some melancholy.

"correct."

When Lu Jian saw such a witch, he remembered something.

"In the previous pair of mother and daughter, the mother was swallowed by the filth, the daughter survived, and her father was killed by the filth that fled to the sea."

The little girl is now with Laika, being looked after by She Fengxing.

"Why don't you take her to Hejima? The shrine should take her in there."

Lu Jian suggested.

As an orphan, the little girl will only live a more miserable life if she stays here, and a large part of her current situation is caused by Lu Jian and Hu Po, so it is reasonable for him to help the other party.

"Well, I will intercede with the shrine. The shrine is short of manpower. It is normal to recruit some witches to see if they can practice."

Amber nodded.

She suddenly laughed at herself again.

"I didn't expect that I would still choose this path."

Lu Jian looked at the melancholy girl, but couldn't think of anything to comfort her.

"It's okay, when I saw the filth killing people and devouring the land, I knew very well that I was born for this, and if I have this ability, I should use it, everything is fine. It's fate."

Amber in turn comforted Lu Jian.

"Also, even if I become the chief priestess, we can still meet. At that time, I will be the most noble and noble person. No one can violate my will. It should not be difficult for you to find a job in the shrine. At that time, you won't have to wander around, and you can start a family and settle down."

"That's really nice."

Although Lu Jian had no luck, but after thinking about it, at least the next life of Amber will be spent easily in the safest place on Hejima, which can be regarded as the last consolation.

In the early morning of the next day, Amber and Lu Jian took Laika and the little girl on the boat to Hejima.

Originally, Lu Juan was worried that those dignitaries would intercept and kill Amber halfway, just like they did on the waterway before.

But soon he discovered that what Amber did in Changfeng Island at that time was not only not resented by the islanders, but made them worship him as a god. Come.

People regard Amber as the Son of God, and think that she is the spokesperson of the gods on the ground. Whenever Amber's ship enters the port, countless islanders will greet her at the port. Everyone thinks that Amber is the strongest witch in history. Island Taisha.

In this case, all eyes fell on Amber.

The game related to her is also unfolding rapidly.

Besides, after the previous assassination, these dignitaries were also very surprised. Even in that case, Amber was safe and sound, so is it true that there is a definite number in the dark, and she is destined to sit in that position? .

Some people want to please the Amber family in advance, some still feel that they have the power to compete, and some are vacillating.

Under such checks and balances, Amber safely came to Hedao, the center of the world.

The legendary shrine is close at hand.

At the end of the month, ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!

===352. Let me help them===

In Hejima in spring, falling pale pink petals can be seen everywhere.

But Lu Jian had never seen such a dense and chaotic cherry blossom rain.

The petals of those flowers that have been dormant for a year and only bloomed for several days in this kind of sunlight and temperature fall slowly at a speed of five centimeters per second, which reminds Lu Juan of the "April Story" that is enough to obscure the vision. Rain cherry blossoms.

What's even more remarkable is that all of these petals are falling from a single tree.

Before approaching the port, you can see the giant tree that can no longer be described as towering.

With the entire island as the foundation, the towering trees grew on a mountain. No, Lu Jian thought at this time, it might be the giant tree that existed first, and these things later.

On the huge canopy that can cover the entire island, cherry blossoms are in full bloom. These petals are falling like snow, and even the water surface near the sea is covered with a layer of petals. The closer to the island, the denser the petals.

Lu Jian saw that there were people standing on the pier holding umbrellas, covering the falling petals as if they were sheltering from the rain. These people were not surprised or surprised by the cherry blossom rain, just like the normal wind and rain. Already used to it.

"The sacred cherry blossoms in Hejima bloom all year round and will never wither. In spring, the flowers bloom stronger, so this kind of cherry blossom rain is formed."

Seeing Lu Jian staring at the cherry blossoms, Xia Dao explained as if he was a countryman coming to the city.

Through the falling petals, Lu Jian can see that the mountain that occupies one-third of the island is full of various trees, and a long road winds up from the foot of the mountain. The road is red and consists of countless There are many torii gates, and there are some shrines along the road, until the top of the mountain, where the trunks of the trees break through the ground, there stands a solemn shrine.

This is Wajima Taisha, the center of world politics, economy, and extraordinary power.

In front of the tree trunk, Lu Jian saw an attic with a slender structure outlined by the cornices. Unlike those heavy buildings, this attic is like an island suspended in the sky, creating a strong sense of alienation from the surroundings.

"That is the Shenzi Pavilion. In that attic, the Lord Shenzi usually lowers the purification fire for those areas that have been infested with filth."

Xia Dao explained again.

Suddenly, Lu Jian heard a bell.

It's like the singing of a nightingale, or like a wind chime in the evening, crisp and melodious, just like a young girl whispering.

Immediately afterwards, a pale flame suddenly ignited in the Shenzi Pavilion.

Lu Jian never thought that Jinghuo would appear in front of his eyes in such a form. The burning Shenzi Pavilion was like a bright light in the dark night. For a moment, what cherry blossoms fell like rain, what towering giant trees, Even the sun is dimmed by it.

It was dark all around.

Everything has lost its color due to the burning of the net fire.The next moment, when the bell sounded like the chorus of church hymns, reaching its peak, an arrow shot out from the string.

The arrow shot out from the Shenzi Pavilion and flew towards the direction behind Lu Jian. The arrow was like a daytime meteor, more blazing than the sun in the sky, and, as it went away, everyone felt a trace of sadness in their hearts .

Once the arrow of the Son of God is shot, it means that another place has been invaded by filth, and human beings will lose another piece of land forever.

When the light disappeared above the sea level, everything finally returned to normal.
