Tide of Silk, six quarters.Outside the valley on the lake, a vast group of people ushered in.There are two people in the lead.One is the lord of Sawara during the Bunji period, Sawara Yasuji.One is the lord of Sawara in the Motowa period, Sawara Soi.The heads of the Sawara clan from the two eras were all present, so naturally both those living soldiers and the shadow of the Shadow should be loyal to the order.And the fact that they will come here is also a kind of development that has not been changed.In the "original timeline", because Misaku Sawara didn't bring Nishikichiyo back for a long time to restore his life, so while Sawara Yasuji sent people out to find them, he himself took the first step and Sawara Some to come to the Kogami Valley to confirm the current situation of the "gods".Although Sahara Yasuharu had previously questioned the identity of the fallen "god" based on his understanding of the "Celestial Cloud Sword Fragment", it did not mean that he would regard him as an enemy.As we said earlier, for these Sawara clans, maintaining the rule of the family is the ultimate goal, as long as this can be guaranteed, the fall is a god or a ghost, or an evil ......
They didn't care, even if the fallen meow himself could speak now and clearly tell them that he was an evil from outer space, he could cooperate with the Sawara clan in the form of sacrifices or trades, and the Sawara clan would gladly agree."
Uh-huh......
Ahem......
Cough ......
"When I left the crowd and walked into the narrow passage of Taniguchi with Sawara Yasuji, Sawara Munega suddenly let out a violent cough.Hearing this, An Zhi looked at Zong I, but at a glance, he caught a glimpse of a trace of blood flowing from between the fingers of Zong I covering his mouth and nose."
Zongme, your body ......"
Sahara Yasuji couldn't help but be a little worried about the physical condition of his descendant."
Huh......
Ancestor......
Don't worry......"
Sawara Sect gasped a few times and replied, "I'm an old problem, and I've asked a doctor outside the clan to see it, huh......
At that time, the doctor said that I would not live for half a year. ”He paused, shook off the blood in his palm, and showed a bitter smile, "But then I relied on the help of the 'Divine Water' to survive for five or six years......
No, I'm still alive and well. ”"'Divine water'......"
Sahara Anji listened to Sogame's words, his expression was thoughtful, he repeated the word, and then said, "My son......
You should know the cost of using 'divine water', right?
”He asked this because in his time, there was already a detailed record of the so-called "divine water" in the texts of the Sawara clan, or ......
Something like an experimental record.Here I have to mention that Sawara Masahiro, the initiator of this "first sacrifice", can be regarded as the generation of male lords of the Sawara Domain, and the Sawara clan's later series of rules around the fallen sacrifice and some of the most basic observation and research records of this alien creature were completed by him.For example, the effect of the "divine water" was also discovered by Masahiro Sawara during a battle when he personally led a team to hunt down a fugitive who had escaped into the valley on the lake.According to our modern people, the fugitive later became "Experiment Subject Zero".Beginning with him, Masahiro Sawara later conducted no less than 30 experiments, most of which were done on death row prisoners, and a small number of people in the family who were seriously ill and injured, and basically had no cure.So what exactly is "divine water"?
First of all, theoretically speaking, all the water in the valley above the lake is "divine water", that is, the water that has been soaked in the body of the "god", and it will have this special property.But in fact, the only part of the water that can have an immediate effect after drinking it directly is the part of the water that is very close to the fallen me, and the closer it is, the more significant the effect; And the water that is more than twenty meters away from the radius of the fallen me, even if you drink it directly, the effect is very thin.In addition, the water in the valley on the lake is not actually stagnant, but will be slowly replaced......
In addition to a few mountain springs that flow slowly down the cliffs on all sides, rainfall is also one of the sources of valley water on the lake; When the water level of the valley reaches a certain height, the pressure generated by its unique topography causes the water to flow at a very slow rate to the underground water veins and into the streams of Sawara through some very small tributaries......
In other words, all of the water that has been soaked in the fallen meadow will eventually flow out and infect the land and crops of Sawara.However, the people of Sawara will not intuitively feel the influence of the "divine water" on them, because they only come into contact with the special ingredients in this water in small amounts every day, so the influence of this water on them is cumulative and gradually accumulative, and they are afraid that they will only understand the truth when they die.And those who drink the "high-concentration" divine water directly will be able to experience the effect of this thing on both physical and mental levels while they are alive......
Seeing this, some people may have realized why this "god" is nicknamed "Fallen Death"."
Fall" refers to the way it comes, but what about "death"?
Literally, it means to devour the dead, or to turn life into food.In this world, human understanding or conjecture about death ......
Whether it is reincarnation, entering a different space such as heaven and hell, or turning into a dissociating energy between heaven and earth, there is one thing in common, that is, death does not make life or soul disappear, but only changes their form and position or dimension.But when it falls, it swallows the "dead life" as its own food, interrupting this transformation, and the "divine water" is its medium.In the past 500 years, almost all the inhabitants of Sawara have actually been swallowed by the fallen after death, even if it is a baby who died prematurely not long after birth, because they were already exposed to the sacred water in their mother's womb, and it is difficult to escape......
It's just that the living don't know this, after all, what has fallen and swallowed is what has been "dead".And those who drank "divine water" at close range were exceptions.These people will immediately obtain some life energy from the water, so as to quickly heal the wounds and control the pain in the body, but the price is ......
After drinking the water, they will begin to observe something that is not of this world.And this kind of "observation" is not "ghosting" in the general sense, or even seeing it with the eyes, because the fallen mew is not the same species as humans in the first place, and observing these with its ability is more like a kind of spiritual pollution.In fact, ordinary people can't last long under this kind of pollution, as short as a few days, as long as a few months, and basically break down and go crazy, and commit suicide.But Sawara Zongme, he has been holding on for several years, and even he can keep it a secret from the outside world, pretending to be fine, which shows the strength of his willpower."
Ancestor, you should be able to understand Zongme......
As long as Sawara can be protected, these costs are nothing. ”Zong: I am grateful for the ancestor's concern, but his attitude is also very clear."
Okay......"
Yasuji Sahara sighed and turned his head to look ahead again.No more, he wouldn't say more, it was buried in the complicated expression on his face and the silence that followed.In a short time, the two walked side by side into the valley, and the next scene in front of them shocked them......
