I’m a Witch In Dongying

Then slowly expand...

tick-

The light spots fell like water droplets, forming a circle of light ripples on the "ground" of the white space.

This change broke the dead silence here.

After this sound, light and shadow began to emerge quietly in this white space, appearing in Bai Shuiqiu's line of sight.

The appearance of light and shadow is varied.

A considerable number of them are human beings, including ancient generals in armor, Warring States daimyo in luxurious kimonos, elegant royal princesses, onmyoji in hunting clothes, and ordinary peasants with hoes on their shoulders...

Some are simply standing, while others are making some movements towards the void, or hugging the invisible "lover", or stroking the top of the "child"'s head...

It looks like a non-physical performance in a stage play. This scene was originally supposed to be very weird, but the gentle expressions on their faces made people feel no fear.

The only thing in common is that all the figures seem to be transparent, and they can't see each other's existence.

One by one suddenly appeared, and suddenly disappeared.

Of course there are some monsters.

There are all kinds of monsters, and there are also a wide range of types. Some of them are personally dealt with by Bai Shuiqiu, or they have been seen in classic books. Some are like evil things in the "inner world". backing.

"where is this place?"

Could it be the afterlife world, the so-called Pure Land of Bliss?

"Or... these things are all the souls that Bai Lian has devoured in the thousands of years before?"

Bai Shuiqiu blinked, making a vague judgment in his heart—

The answer should be the latter.

Because all these shadows appearing in this white world are not complete spiritual bodies, but vague residual thoughts, and some even have only half or one-third of their bodies.

No matter whether you were a wealthy noble or a scumbag who went to the ground to eat food, even a murderer who committed no evil, there will inevitably be a trace of tenderness in the deepest part of their souls, and this is also the last trace they left to the end of their lives.

Then……

Just like the last negative in the film, after being exposed to the sun for a moment, it quickly disappears, and there is no trace left in the world since then, and it completely disappears.

A short silhouette seems to summarize their life.

The only bystander who witnessed all this was Bai Shuiqiu.

And after all these phantoms were scattered into tiny fragments and disappeared.

Only the last figure remained, standing at the end of the white space, facing her far away.

That's a girl.

A brunette girl in a red and white witch costume.

The eighteen-year-old's face is fair and delicate, even a little immature, and her body looks slender and petite. When standing still, she looks like a delicate and fragile little white flower.

But what emerges from the bones is an indescribable tenacity, like a green bamboo standing upright in the wind.

It's like...

The flame that was quietly burning inside the white lotus just now!

call--

A slight wind blows.

But this figure did not blow away like the previous phantoms, but only a part of the body and clothes were lifted up by the breeze, swayed a few times, and transformed into tiny fireflies.

But the rest of the body still stood in the same place, slowly raised his head, and his eyes looked in the direction of Bai Shuiqiu.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Bai Shuiqiu opened his mouth and looked at the figure that looked both real and illusory, with a slightly subtle expression: "You...are you Grandma Sana?" There was no need to answer this question.

Because the appearance of this figure is exactly the same as the Shiraimi Sana who used the "human talisman" she saw in the "deep sea" before, and the sense of intimacy that echoes from the depths of the blood is further confirmed. identity of the latter.

Bai Shuiqiu was a little aware of where he was now.

Even, the person who brought her here might be the senior priestess who was two generations away from him.

After taking a deep breath, Bai Shuiqiu raised his footsteps and walked forward slowly. It wasn't until Baishui Sana was about two meters in front of her that she stopped and looked at the latter silently.

After a brief silence, Sana Baishui spoke first: "Are you also... the daughter of the Baishui family?"

Shirazu Sana's voice was so low that it was barely audible.

If it is not quiet enough in this space, it may be ignored directly.

"Yes."

Bai Shuiqiu nodded and said in a low voice, "The first time we met, I am Bai Shuiqiu, the current sorceress of Tianmu Shrine, and granddaughter of Grandma Chiyo... In terms of seniority, it should be your grandniece."

"Grandniece..."

Baishui Sana slowly raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a faint smile, her eyes looking at Bai Shuiqiu softened, just like the eyes of an elder when caring for a younger generation, with a hint of consolation and relief in it. :

"I didn't expect even Xiao Chiyo to have a granddaughter. When I left home, she was just a toddler... Xiao Qiu, can I call you that?

Chiyo, is she okay now? "

——Besides Yukino and other monsters who have survived for an unknown number of years, this is the only one who is qualified to use the name "Little Chiyo" to refer to Chiyo. Calling himself "Xiaoqiu" is naturally more reasonable.

Even, if Sana was not buried on Lantern Mountain, but stayed in Tianmu Shrine, Bai Shuiqiu and her might become a teacher and a friend.

Bai Shuiqiu even thought about this kind of thing a few times, but unfortunately... there is no if.

"sure."

Bai Shuiqiu first nodded in response to Baishui Sana's name, and then replied truthfully: "Grandma is in her seventies this year, but she is still very strong, and she is currently in charge of the daily business of the shrine."

"Then, what about Yushu Baishui?"

Shiraumi Sana asked another name.

Bai Shuiqiu was a little unfamiliar with this name, but after thinking about it carefully, she understood——

If I remember correctly, she once heard Asakura Mami mention this name. It was the father of Sana and Chiyo, who was the last **** of the Tenmu Shrine. According to the generation, he was the great-grandfather of Shirai Shuiqiu.

However, as early as the Lantern Mountain incident 70 years ago, he was already a middle-aged man in his forties, and he probably met Baishui and Ren when he was young. And now...

"It's gone."

Bai Shuiqiu added: "Since I was born, I haven't seen his old man. I heard from grandma... He passed away thirty years ago. Apart from you, grandma has no other siblings."

"Yes……"

Baishui Sana's eyes moved slightly, but did not continue to ask.

These few conversations sounded like a pair of distant relatives who hadn't seen each other for a long time were pulling home.

If it falls in the eyes of a third party who doesn't know the truth, most of them will feel a little strange, because Bai Shuiqiu and Baishui Sana look like a pair of the same age——

The latter had just turned eighteen when he died in Lantern Mountain, only two years older than Bai Shuiqiu. As for how to calculate mental age... that's another story.

However, the two were still seventy years apart.

The era in which Shiraumi Sana lived was completely different from now. It has been a century since the rounding was done. The world has long since changed, and even if it is commonplace, there is no common language.

Other than Chiyo, who can maintain Bai Shuiqiu and Sana, there are only Rain Maiden and Yu Shishen whom they both know together, and the latter two are not here now. So after a few simple words, the air fell into silence for a while.

A few seconds passed.

Baishui Sana smiled again, slightly raised her head and looked at the void diagonally above, as if she sighed:

"I really didn't expect that time has passed so long without knowing it, almost a century has passed... Maybe this feeling is what the ancients of China said, "There is no Jiazi in the mountains, and the world has been thousands of years." "

Bai Shuiqiu opened his mouth, not knowing whether he should comfort or agree.

It seems that because she recalled the events of the past, Baishui Sana's eyebrows and eyes became more and more tender when she looked at Bai Shuiqiu: "I'm sorry, I can only meet you in this place, with this attitude, but now I have the rest It is true that I can only do this step... If you and Lord God hadn't come here, I'm afraid I would have..."

"No, I should be the one who should apologize. We came too late."

Bai Shuiqiu shook his head gently: "You created the cluster of flames just now, right? If it wasn't for you to take action at a critical moment, maybe not only me, but even Lord Yu Shishen might have been buried in Bai Lian's hands..."

While speaking, Bai Shuiqiu noticed that Sana's soul began to fade.

Just like those souls that suddenly appeared and suddenly disappeared, in just a few words, they had already fallen into a translucent state. This change made Bai Shuiqiu's heart sink:

"Um... Although it's a bit presumptuous for me to say this. However, please talk about the old things later, your current state is already very bad.

Now that the white lotus has been exterminated, the gate of the Yellow Springs in Lantern Mountain will soon be sealed. I think grandma, and Sister Lu, they should hope to see you again.

I don't know if you have any way to temporarily seal the soul..."

When asking this sentence, Bai Shuiqiu subconsciously came up with an idea——

Is the current Shirasu Sana really a... soul?

"That way..."

Baishui Sana raised her lips, smiled and shook her head: "It doesn't exist..."

Hearing Baishui Sana's response, Baishuiqiu's pupils shrank slightly: "You mean..."

"I am very clear about my own situation. The current me is actually not a spiritual body... Most of my soul and memory have been swallowed and absorbed by the white lotus, and the only thing left is a trivial soul. The fragments, even if they remain, cannot be recovered, they will only dissolve and disintegrate within a short period of time..."

Speaking of this, Shirazu Sana's voice gradually became lower.

The figure also became erratic, and the hem of the clothes, as well as the calves of the legs, began to float with the breeze, like a phantom made with a slide:

"If you and Lord Rain Master didn't show up, I am afraid that in the next few days, I will disappear completely under the swallowing of the white lotus, just like them... I can see you before that, it is already favored by the gods... …

So, don't be in vain. "

——The "they" here obviously refers to those phantoms that Bai Shuiqiu saw just now disappearing from this white space.

Although Baishui Sana still retains a part of her memory and consciousness, and can talk to Bai Shuiqiu, she is essentially no different from them.

The same are all residual thoughts, and they are also on the verge of dissipating, and it is only a matter of time before they disappear completely.

Can……

Facts are one thing.

But psychological acceptance is another matter.

Although Bai Shuiqiu had already realized this result, when she heard Baishui Sana say so, she still opened her mouth and choked before the words came out.

The air was quiet for a few more seconds.

Only then did I hear Baishui Sana say in a gentle tone: "This space, located in the deepest part of Bailian's consciousness, is not only the shelter for those remnants, but also the battlefield where He and I have been fighting for the past seventy years. .

Now, Bai Lian's main consciousness has been beheaded by you and Lord Rain Master, and the remaining residual thoughts are about to disappear with me. At that time, this space will also collapse and disintegrate.

So, you can return to this world very soon.

As for me, I'm just a remnant of an old era. The complete extermination of the white lotus was my last wish during my lifetime. To be able to witness this scene, I am already satisfied, and I have no more requests. "

Having said this, Baishui Sana paused: "Before leaving... can I give you a hug, Xiaoqiu?"

Bai Shuiqiu didn't speak, just nodded slightly, then took two steps in the direction of Baishui Sana, and opened his arms.

Movement is light.

Chapter 857 Jun buried the mud under the spring, I sent the world full of snow

On the opposite side, Shiraumi Sana also leaned forward slightly at the same time.

Her height is actually similar to Bai Shuiqiu, only a little bit taller.

So when hugging, both sides are just able to put their heads on each other's shoulders.

The two generations of witches from the Baishui clan, who were separated by 70 years, hugged each other gently in this space of consciousness that did not exist in reality. Compared with the care and entrustment of an elder to a younger generation, they looked more like two friends of the same age. farewell in between.

However, even when the bodies overlapped, Bai Shuiqiu could hardly feel the weight of Sana's spiritual body, and he didn't even feel the real thing at all.

——The current Bai Shuiqiu, who is in this space, also exists in the form of a spiritual body. In theory, he should be able to directly contact Baishui Sana's spiritual body.

So this kind of light touch can only explain one thing:

Shiraumi Sana is really about to disappear.

When he was eighteen years old, he took the form of a human talisman, burned his flesh and blood to seal the white lotus and the "Gate of Yellow Springs", which was about to be born.

Alone again, under the dark pool where the sun can't see the sun, with the body of a candle, I have continued to fight with Bailian for seventy years, and I have struggled to support it to this day.
