The rotten bright glow is red and the sun is setting.Gorgeous and light clouds, horses neighing.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the fluttering flags shrouded in gold and red.A team of more than a thousand people arrived at Enzhou Station under the banner of Jizhou.

The Yicheng of Enzhou Post led a few slaves out to meet him, and then he heard the soldiers riding their horses shouting,

"We are under the command of Hou Suhu of Jizhou. We passed through here on our way to Chaoge for an audience. The post-prince quickly tidied up the hall and accommodated the nobles."

"Marquis of Jizhou..."

When Yicheng heard the name, he understood it in his heart.

Now it is the Yin and Shang years, and the princes respect Shang.The territory of the Shang Dynasty was divided into Wangji, which was directly under the king of Shang, and the territory of the princes Fangguo.This Marquis of Jizhou is one of the vassals of the Shang Dynasty, and he has become famous recently.

Just because half a year ago, Emperor Xin of Shang wanted to accept the daughter of Hou Suhu of Jizhou into the palace, but Su Hu refused to donate her daughter, so he returned to Jizhou to fight against Shang.Emperor Xin then took Chonghouhu as his general and raised his army to attack Jizhou.

Not long ago, I heard that Jizhou was defeated. In order to ask for forgiveness from the king of Shang, Su Hu wanted to present his daughter to the king's city to sing a song.Enzhou is between Jizhou and Chaoge, so the team in front of you just wants to come.

After confirming the identity of the visitor, Yi Cheng was a little embarrassed.He lowered his eyebrows and asked,

"There was a monster in this inn three years ago. I'm afraid that the nobleman might lose something. Would you like to ask the nobleman to rest in the camp to keep safe?"

"This……"

The soldiers heard that the monster had appeared, and when they were hesitating, a male voice came from behind,

"How can you be afraid of monsters three years ago!"

Su Hu, who was wearing armor and two red pheasant feathers on the top of the helmet, came over, suppressed a little anger between his brows, and said in a hateful voice,

"Just tell it to come, the old man will let it come and go!"

Hou Suhu of Jizhou was over forty years old, but he was tall and straight with armor and a radiant appearance.When he was speaking, he flicked the leopard tail whip around his waist and slapped it to the ground, as if he was very dissatisfied with Yicheng's procrastination.

This whip frightened Yicheng very much.As soon as his legs softened, he knelt down and called out in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, calm down."

During the Yin and Shang dynasties, classes were distinct, and human life was as light as grass, and a few people would be killed for any sacrifice.Not to mention the generals and princes.

Yicheng scolded the defeated generals in his heart, so he showed his prestige to them, and he deserved to present his daughter into the palace.On the face, he was trembling, afraid that he would be whipped.

However, Yi Cheng didn't wait for Su Hu's whip, but a light and sweet female voice came.

"Father, you're scaring people again."

The female voice sounded above Yi Cheng's head, and there was an elegant sense of rhythm between the words and sentences, and it also revealed the coquettishness of a tiny daughter, which was more pleasing to the ear than Sheng Yue.

Seeing a pair of small and delicate pointed shoes under the plain white leggings, Yi Cheng couldn't help but raise his head.

I saw a noblewoman wearing a long plain gown with a cross-collared right lapel and a pleated skirt in a dark brown color over the knees.

She stretched out her hand to him, with a pair of almond eyes half-curved under her black eyebrows, and a soft smile.The way is, "My father pitied me that I was tired from the journey, so I became a little impatient. Don't be afraid."

The twilight in the sky has disappeared, but the woman in front of her is like the morning light in winter, with bright eyes and a warm and sacred halo like pearls and white jade.Just get close to her, as if the body and mind have been purified.

Yicheng didn't know how to describe that kind of beauty at all, he just felt that there was nothing better than a god.

This noble lady is the protagonist of this trip to Chaoge, Daji, the daughter of the Marquis of Jizhou.

Seeing Daji, the anger in Su Hu's eyes was replaced by guilt and pity.Turning his head, he kicked the dazed Yi Cheng dissatisfiedly, and scolded him, "What are you looking at! You still don't lead the way!"

Yicheng was distracted by Daji's smile, no matter how fierce Su Hu was, he couldn't feel any fear anymore.Dazed and staring, he led the way into the back room.

After the nobles settled down, Yi Cheng retreated outside the courtyard for a long time before he could find his words, You Zai marveled, "How can there be such a lady in the world, if I—"

The roadside guard's family general pushed Yicheng and angrily said,

"Wang Ji is a witch from the Su clan, how dare you think about it?"

"Ah, witch!" The admiration on Yi Cheng's face was replaced by awe.

A witch is the most sacred and mysterious existence in the human race, mastering the sacrifice and inheritance of a clan.In this world where gods, ghosts, demons and mortals coexist, divine power is even greater than royal power.The status of witches is self-evident.

From awe to awe, Yicheng's affection for Daji remains the same, and he can't help but fight for her.

"Since she is a witch, how can she be used as an offering to the king? Doesn't the Marquis of Jizhou have any other daughters?"

It was only a matter of meeting each other, and this Yi Cheng gave Daji wholeheartedly at this moment, and he didn't remember his initial mood when he secretly scolded Su Hu for deserving his daughter.

The originally ferocious Jiajiang heard Yicheng's protection of Daji, and his eyes softened a little.

Sighed, "Who said it was not? However, Mrs. Xian passed away early, and Lord Hou only has this one daughter. There is no way!"

The family general is also Daji's loyal supporter, holding back for a long time on the road, he couldn't help but confide in Yi Cheng.

It is said that when Daji was born, the 12-yuan sacrificial stone in the sacrificial place shook, and it was prophesied by the previous great witch that she could reawaken the power of blood and protect the goddess who had the prosperity of the Su family for thousands of years.

You must know that the Su family has always passed down that the ancient great witch has the power of blood that can manipulate the earth, move mountains and fill the sea, and is not weaker than the gods.However, none of the great witches in the past few hundred years could awaken this power.

The people of the Su clan had high hopes for Daji, even if she said that she would abolish human sacrifices and use pigs, cattle, sheep and other animals, which violated her ancestors' decision, they obeyed her.

Correspondingly, Daji also showed extraordinary things since childhood.She is beautiful and kind, as if she was born with knowledge of medicine, and she has countless lives.

When the King of Shang's army came under pressure, Su Hu's only son, Su Quanzhong, was captured.Originally, the Su family was unwilling to hand over the witch no matter what, but Daji couldn't bear the innocent death of her tribe, so she invited herself to join the court song on the grounds that she had not awakened her blood for many years.

The family general sighed, "The witch is good at everything, but she is too kind."

Yi Cheng wholeheartedly agreed, "Yes, yes, I hope the king is wise enough to let the witch return home."

The two looked at each other, sympathetic to each other.

The general patted Yicheng on the shoulder, "Let's not talk about it. But there really won't be goblins in this posthouse..."

"Really, but it was three years ago..."

In the house, Daji, who was kneeling on the mat and enjoying listening to the general and the postman boasting about him, gasped in fright when he heard that there was a goblin.

She shrank, subconsciously holding the bronze dagger in her arms.The hand holding the sword hilt trembled slightly.

That appearance is like a frightened bird, how can there be dignity and elegance in front of others?

After Yicheng said that the goblin appeared three years ago, she breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense body relaxed a little.Holding my throbbing heart and whispering to myself,

"It appeared three years ago, it should have left..."

That's right, Daji, the witch who seems to be perfect to everyone, actually has a fatal weakness.

— She is afraid of death.

Studying medicine hard is because of fear of death, abolishing human sacrifice is because of fear of death, begging Su Hu to surrender and voluntarily enter the court song is because of fear of death.

I am afraid of my own death, and I am also afraid of seeing others die.The passing of life would make her extremely uncomfortable.

This fear was born with her, just like the herbal knowledge that came from nowhere, engraved in her soul, like a shadow.

Xu said that the mention of goblins was like an omen, which made Daji feel uneasy inexplicably.

After hesitating for a moment, she took out a palm of tortoise shell with big yellow and brown spots from her luggage, drew an irregular circle pattern on it with graphite, and threw it into the fire pit inside the house.

A five-foot-square shallow pit, surrounded by several bricks and stones, and lit in the middle, is a firepit that has the functions of heating, lighting, cooking, and even offering sacrifices.

Merchants fanatically worship divination and sacrifices, and they do divination for almost everything.Daji, a witch, is no exception.

"It's better to do the math to be at ease."

Daji's requirements are not high, as long as she doesn't die.

The orange flames reflected the beautiful face of Su's maiden. She was kneeling by the fire pond, looking upright and solemn.Its color is like the dew of spring flowers and the scorching sun of begonias, but it does not give the slightest hint of profanity.

Daji dropped the dried plants in order.Orchid grass, osmanthus twigs, jiangzhenxiang... The sound of crackling and burning echoed in the room, and the white smoke was dense, blurring her face like a cloud.

She drew out her short sword and lightly cut her finger with the blade.Although it was already very light, Daji still closed her eyes nervously the moment the sharp weapon cut through her skin.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that only a little bit of skin was cut, but no blood came out.

But it's impossible to make up for it again.It is known that she will die if she loses too much blood, so wasting a drop of blood is killing her life.If she hadn't heard that there were monsters, she would never have been willing to use her blood for divination.

Daji endured the pain and squeezed hard, squeezed out a drop of blood stingily.

The drop of bright red blood dripped into the fire pit and landed on the tortoise shell with precision.Visible to the naked eye, a faint khaki halo appeared on the tortoise shell, which almost merged with the fire.

Incense, can communicate with the gods.

Blood is the medium to accurately summon the ancestral spirits.

White smoke curled up, and Daji unconsciously half-closed her eyes, her expression in a trance.A mysterious feeling appeared in her body.

Faint, but clear.As thick as the earth, as gentle as a mother.

Her consciousness seemed to be separated from time and space, and she heard the heavy drumbeat from ancient times.The fuzzy disc was covered with blood-colored mist, and it turned slowly, as if the voices of countless creatures merged into a soul-shaking call,

【Houtu—Reincarnation——】

"Background..."

Daji woke up suddenly, just like every divination in the past.

The earthy yellow halo disappeared, and the tortoise shell in the fire showed a warm brown translucent gelatinous texture.

Daji rolled up her sleeves and picked out the tortoise shell in the flames with her dagger.After cooling by the side for a while, Fang picked it up and wiped off the black ash.

The cracks on the tortoise shell partially overlap with the pattern she drew earlier, like a hexagonal wheel/plate, giving her a vague sense of familiarity.

Divination with tortoise shells, the coincidence of cracks and patterns is regarded as auspicious.

Daji rubbed the wheel/disk-shaped crack with her fingertips, although she couldn't understand the full meaning.But what is certain is that she will definitely not die.

"It's fine if you don't die."

Daji breathed a sigh of relief, held the tortoise shell as a safety talisman, and lay down to sleep peacefully.

Walking through the Sanjiao Meridian in Haishi to nourish the body, if it is blocked, you will get sick, and if you get sick, you will lose your acquired vitality. Rounding it up is looking for death.

So as long as you don't die for a day, you have to go to bed on time.It's been a long time since I went to bed late today.

Daji devoted herself to keeping in good health, without any distracting thoughts, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

The night was dark, and the city of Enzhou was completely silent.

At midnight, when the three drums were about to be handed in, a strange wind suddenly blew through the post, and the copper bells hanging under the eaves swayed suddenly.

clang--

A puff of black air came with the wind, Gu Pan revealed two round golden animal pupils, and a ghostly fire burst from the firepit. The chill was terrifying, and the heat was about to subside.

clang clang-

A black shadow was wrapped in the monster mist, from which hooked claws protruded and opened the thin gauze curtain.

A pair of clear and beautiful eyes met the golden pupils in the black mist, unexpectedly calm.

"Are you awake?"

The goblin was surprised for a moment, and the animal pupils like golden lamps examined Daji who was sitting up in the darkness.

The next moment, a strange light burst out from the pair of animal pupils, and the shadows with nine tails staggered and swayed in the black mist, looking like a fox with nine tails.

It smiled strangely, "Wow, what a beautiful human skin!"

Stunning, human skin? ? ?

Daji, who had just woken up, had a layer of white sweat on her back, her heart seemed to be pounding into her throat, and she was still screaming crazily.

Ahhhh help!There really are fairies! ! !

Daji froze all over and was too frightened to move.

However, her pretentious attitude as a shrine maiden has been carved into her bone marrow over the years. She stared directly at the monster in the black mist without blinking her eyes.On the contrary, there is a sacred and inviolable solemnity.

Could it be that she still has something to rely on?

The fox demon's sharp claws hesitated, and he laughed strangely with that indistinguishable voice,

"It's so courageous, aren't you afraid that I will eat you?"

Daji,"……"

Scared to death!Don't come here!

Without awakening the legendary bloodline, she, a witch, is no different from ordinary people except that she is proficient in medicine and priest divination.At most, they have stronger physical fitness and better hearing and eyesight.But these skills are no match for goblins!

hold on!The force of the witch cannot be lost.

Daji pursed her lips tightly, staring at the fox demon with blank eyes.In case you see too clearly, you will cry out in fright.

The demon flames in the fire pond were dimly lit, reflecting the nine dangling long tails in the black mist into Daji's eyes.

In the sight of the fox demon, the woman's clear and quiet eyes seemed to hide a monster with teeth and claws, indescribable, lying in ambush and watching.

However, her demeanor was so calm, dignified and even peaceful.

When her eyes are lowered and her red lips are naturally raised a little, she naturally feels a sense of compassion and compassion.It was as if she had the upper hand and was confident.

The golden pupil of the fox demon flickered.

The next moment, it saw Daji folded his hands together and picked up the tortoise shell that appeared in his hands at some point, lifting it up to eye level.

The witch closed her eyes, and her lips twitched as if she was singing prayers during a sacrifice, whispering silently.

The voice was too vague, it seemed to be a simple repetition of three or four words, only the lips were moving, and almost no sound came out.

However, the less clear it is, the more mysterious it appears.It seems that some big move is brewing.

The fox demon Jintong was vigilant, and unconsciously took half a step back, baring his teeth and claws.

"If you dare to recite the spell, believe it or not, I will eat you right now!"

eat her?No!

Daji was so frightened that her hands shook, and the tortoise shell she was holding tightly came out, and flew towards the demon fog where the fox demon was.

Suddenly, the evil wind surged, and the huge fox in the black mist let out a low growl that was not a tiger or a leopard, opened its bloody mouth, and directly swallowed the tortoise shell that was like a peace talisman to Daji.

The peace talisman is gone.

Daji swallowed silently, bit the bullet and looked directly at the fox demon, narrating in a deep voice,

"You can't kill me tonight."
