Chapter 157: Chapter 155. Everything is Over (25 updates)
"Did Miss Yongshi send you...to Shenzhu Shrine?"
Shenzhu Shihui blinked.
The incident just now wasn’t much of a secret, and now with the Shenzhu Family extinguished, there was no point in holding onto these secrets any longer.
"Magong Tong... your youngest sister has been under the threat of calamity from a young age, a threat that has continued to this day and is on the verge of erupting. I have been asked by her to come here to investigate," Beichuan Si explained.
"..." Shenzhu Shihui.
She fell silent, and it was quite a while before she spoke again, "Tong... has the potential... it’s just that her spiritual sensitivity can’t keep up. If I possess Tong’s body, she can become the third Soul Suppressing Son and the ritual can be restarted—but—"
"There are no buts, Sister Shihui."
Suddenly, a voice came from the side of the door.
Magong Yongshi drifted in from outside, followed by Magong Tong, who wore a look of fear.
However, upon seeing Beichuan Si in the room, Magong Tong ran over happily and clung tightly to the hem of Beichuan Si’s clothes, "Beichuan, Beichuan! You’re okay!"
Beichuan Si nodded to Magong Tong and then turned back to look at Magong Yongshi, who had descended.
"Miss Yongshi, you’ve indeed kept secrets."
Beichuan Si had felt something was off for a while but had not spoken out of it because of their cooperation.
Why would Shenzhu Shrine reject one of the Soul Suppressing Twins, Magong Yongshi?
And Magong Yongshi’s memory loss was far too strange.
Beichuan Si understood all this but had not pointed it out.
As expected, when Magong Yongshi now stepped into Shenzhu Main Family, there was still nothing wrong.
"I’m sorry, Mr. Temple," Magong Yongshi sighed deeply, "As I have said before... I do not wish for the Soul Summoning Flower to bloom. If it does, my sister and I..."
Her words were cut off by Shenzhu Shihui.
Shihui’s expression was solemn, her eyes resolute, "The blooming of the Soul Summoning Flower... it’s our duty to guide the wandering calamity and the Shenzhu villagers into the next world. Yongshi, you should be clear about this, don’t forget... we still have Tong..."
"Yes, sister."
Magong Yongshi closed her eyes in sorrow.
She had actually been prepared ever since they started up the mountain; the words of Shenzhu Shihui were merely making her accept her fate in advance.
Even if it was for Magong Tong.
Shenzhu Shihui turned her head and looked gently at Magong Tong, "Call me... Sister Shihui."
Magong Tong trembled and nodded vigorously, "...Sister Shihui!"
"What’s your name?" Shenzhu Shihui looked at Beichuan Si.
Beichuan Si replied calmly, "Beichuan Si."
"Mr. Temple..." Shenzhu Shihui stuttered out the name, then nodded slightly, "As the ritual commences... Holly will surely react. I need you to hold her off for a while, can you?"
"I can."
Whether he could or couldn’t, he had to hold her off.
Beichuan Si felt he could make some arrangements based on the terrain.
After all, he only needed to buy time, not directly confront her.
Once the ritual of the Divine Flower Greeting was completed, everything would come to an end.
Hearing this response, Shenzhu Shihui’s gaze softened considerably. She pulled Magong Tong to her side and affectionately stroked Tong’s head.
The calamity within Magong Tong’s body was on the brink of eruption and wouldn’t last much longer.
So then—
Shenzhu Shihui took a small box out from behind the stones and handed it to Beichuan Si.
"This is... the key to Shenzhu Main Family; you should also have... the key to the Magong Family." Shenzhu Shihui stuttered but spoke with certainty, "Tonight... we will restart the ritual."
"Alright."
Beichuan Si, feeling his strength mostly restored, nodded in agreement.
In any case, it was time for all of this to end.
...
The door to the underground palace was once again opened.
After nine years, it was filled with a heavy moisture.
Led by Shenzhu Shihui and Magong Yongshi, their Spiritual Body glowing, Shihui said, "The underground palace of Shenzhu... has buried many sacrificial pillars... here, ’calamity’ will be much weaker."
Human pillars?
To ensure a successful ritual, human pillars were buried within the walls.
It served to expel evil spirits.
The underground palace was not deep; under the lead of Shenzhu Shihui and Magong Yongshi, Beichuan Si soon saw the scene he had observed in the video.
Dark liquid, large pillars rising from the floor, and among these columns were human pillars, broken areas revealing pale arms hanging down.
To suppress the calamity...
Beichuan Si finally saw it clearly.
Over the black liquid floated something—
Buds. Half-open white buds.
They drifted quietly on the surface of the water, enchantingly beautiful.
If they blossomed, they would probably be incredibly beautiful.
A platform floated in the middle of the lake, held in place by huge chains hung from above. Starting here, there were four parallel wooden walkways leading directly to the platform.
The platform was divided into two halves, one engraved with the pattern of white chrysanthemums, and the other with the pattern of the mysterious and enchanting flower from the Shrine.
That was the Door of Quietude.
The chrysanthemum pattern on the Door of Quietude had already been filled with fresh blood, which must be the pure blood that Magong Yongshi poured years ago.
Perhaps because of its proximity to the Door of Quietude, the blood did not seem coagulated at all.
"Mr. Temple... leave Holly to you... Please... stop her."
Shenzhu Shihui spoke gravely, then turned back to look at Magong Tong, her gaze instantly softening, "Tong, it might hurt a bit later..."
