Looking at Xu Zhenren's lifeless body, Shen Gong faintly uttered these words.
Then he shook his head again: "It's a pity that it's meaningless to die like this. It can't move heaven, earth, or you. At most, it can move him."
I didn't answer, but asked him: "Yin Wuxin wants to destroy Shanyin City, do you know this?"
"Of course I know, but this is his own choice. I can't control it, and neither can you."
A trace of soul fire rose up on Mr. Shen's finger. He flicked it lightly, and the soul fire fell on Xu Zhenren's body and slowly burned.
I let out a long sigh: "Aren't you afraid that when those ghosts come out, they will turn the world upside down?"
Shen Gong's face was full of indifference: "Oh? Why am I afraid of this? Have you forgotten my identity?"
I was a little helpless: "I understand that you are a witch and we are human beings, but don't you think this is a bit self-deceiving? We have the same blood flowing in our bodies, the same body structure, and the same emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and joy.
You don’t really think we are not the same species, do you?”
"Hey, you don't really think I'm a human, do you?"
Duke Shen suddenly made a knife with his fingers and struck his wrist hard: "Look, I am a witch, a descendant of the gods, and my vitality is much stronger than that of humans.
Don’t you really think that shamans can live one or two hundred years because their health is good?
Let me tell you, people today were untouchables in ancient times. Untouchables who can only live twenty or thirty years old. They cannot practice witchcraft and can only engage in some of the most inferior labor.
But the shamans are different. The fire of life of the shamans is much stronger than that of the untouchables. In the eyes of the witches, the untouchables are not worthy of being our kind. They are just a group of handymen, servants, and sacrifices.
I don’t dislike human beings, but as the last witch in the world, calling me a human would be an insult to the entire witch clan, do you understand?”
Duke Shen's wounds were slowly healing visibly to the naked eye, and his words also made me realize some truth.
I turned to look at him: "I understand, but I seem to understand how the Wu Clan perished.
The reason why Taoism rises and witchcraft dies is because Taoism is more compassionate than you, and pays more attention to the equality of all living beings than you do. How is your behavior any different from those superior people in the underworld?"
"I'm telling you Gu Yan, the weak should eat the strong. This is the most basic rule of survival."
Duke Shen was not angry either, he just sneered: "I'm afraid you don't know yet, but your Zhu Rong family was once a shaman, and you were expelled from the shaman clan because you ran away to practice Taoism.
You have the blood of the Zhu Rong family in your body. You enslave and oppress people. Your ancestors have to be counted as part of this matter.
For you and us, don’t think that just practicing Taoism for a few days can wash away the sins on your body. If God wants to destroy me, he will definitely not let you two descendants of the witch clan go!"
What he said completely confused me.
That's right, Zhu Rong Gong Gong Xing Tian Shen Gong, aren't these all ancient surnames? Moreover, the inner demon said that when Sister Lin was born, witches were still ruling the world. I didn't even take this sentence to heart.
What the hell kind of mess did I inherit? Is this a nightmare start?
Xu Zhenren's body was almost burned out.
Looking at his crackling body, Shen Gong lit a cigarette and told me: "I started to focus on you because of your soul. Taiyin can help me shield a large area. I can stay in this area."
Use secret techniques in the area to speed up the fusion of witch puppets so that they can form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.
It wasn't until I met your sister later that I realized that I had taken it for granted. She could create an incarnation, but couldn't those old guys who have been practicing Buddhism for more years than her?
The road ahead is uncertain, so I came up with the idea of passing on the witchcraft to you and asking you to help me pass it on. Because you are a five-element spirit, you can practice all the techniques in this world.
But yesterday I carefully read through the classics left by my grandfather, and it was written clearly that the Five Elements Spiritual Body cannot appear in the untouchables. It is also because of this that I determined your identity.
If your surname is Zhu Rong, all this will be explained."
I frowned: "I was born twenty-seven years ago, and my parents are both human beings. The Zhurong you call is just a true spirit in my body. You can be anti-human, but don't take me with you. I have nothing to do with you witches."
.”
"Maybe."
He didn’t argue with me: “Having a five-element spirit body and being connected to the power of the lunar star, these two amazing things appear in one person at the same time. Do you really think it’s a coincidence?
Gu Yan, let me leave you here today. Even if your surname is not Zhu Rong, you must be a descendant of the Wu clan.
Everyone knows that the Five Elements Spiritual Body is rare, but no one knows the reason why it is rare. That is because there are fewer and fewer witches in the world, because the Five Elements Spiritual Body can only appear in the Witch Clan!
I’ve said this, believe it or not, it’s up to you, instead of arguing with me, why not go home and ask your parents.”
As soon as Shen Gong finished speaking, the group of Taoist priests who were trying to restrain him rushed in.
They didn't look at either of us, they just stared at the body of Xu Zhenren, which had been burned into a withered skeleton. A group of grown men stood there with their heads bowed, silently shedding tears.
"Senior Brother Xu..."
As the woman named An Xin called out, the group could no longer hold back.
"The lonely soul is gone, and there is no more worries. Senior Brother Xu, go and go with peace of mind!"
An Xin bent down and bowed deeply to Master Xu.
"Senior Brother Xu, feel free to go!"
All the Taoists saluted one after another, and Master Xu's body flashed with light. Shen Gong had already taken back the soul fire.
The scene in front of me was extremely depressing, but I had no intention of watching it.
Because what Mr. Shen just said has completely subverted my self-perception.
I know very well that Mr. Shen has no need to lie to me. It will do him no good.
But I still asked him with the last hope: "Didn't you say that you are the last witch in the world? Then how can I be a witch?"
Duke Shen sighed: "Yes, I am the last witch, but I am not the last witch clan. Just like you and that woman are also witch clans, but you practice Taoism and not witchcraft, so you cannot call it witchcraft."
.
There may be other witch clan bloodlines circulating in the world, but they have intermarried and reproduced for generations, and their bloodlines have long been mixed. They cannot practice witchcraft and will never become witches.
But you definitely don’t belong to this category. The Five Elements Spirit Body only appears in the Wu Clan with the purest blood. If you think about it carefully, is your body different from other people’s since you were born?”
What he said suddenly reminded me of the knife stabbed by Wu Hao some time ago.
That knife was firmly pierced into my heart, but not only was nothing wrong with me, I was able to carry Qingqing and run away, and the wound even healed on its own in the end.
Is this what Duke Shen calls tenacious vitality?
But after working as a person for almost 30 years, one day I was suddenly told that I was not a human being. Who could accept this stimulation?
What scares me even more is that if I am really a witch, are my parents humans or witches?
I don't even care about Shanyin City anymore. I just want to go home and ask my parents if I am their biological child.
Just when I was distracted, An Xin came over.
She wiped the tears on her face: "Mr. Gu, Senior Brother Xu has asked me to take you to see Miss Liu after he dies. Come with me."
After saying that, she turned around and walked out the door without looking at my reaction.
