Uchiha You nodded and said, "It's good that you have made up your mind. Now tell me where the Wuliang is, its current condition, and all the information about it."
Miroku said: "The demon is in the underground temple of the Swamp Country. In fact, it has not yet completely broken free from the seal."
Miwa Masayo asked, "Not completely free from the seal..., what does this mean, meow?"
Miroku replied respectfully: "Lord Miwa Masayo, the relationship between the miko and the demon is special, so the power to seal the demon comes from itself."
"Because the power comes from the same source, no matter how tight the seal is, the power of the monsters can seep out from the seal."
"After decades of accumulation, the power that seeps out will gather together and condense on a certain human, forming a part of the monster that escapes the seal."
Uchiha You laughed strangely, and said, "Wait a minute, this person is not the so-called Huang Quan, right?"
Miroku lowered his head and replied in a low voice: "You are right, it is Huangquan."
Miwa Masayo was stunned, and Uchiha Yu laughed.
This is really interesting. The Ghost Kingdom has been passed down for thousands of years, and there are so many ups and downs and heart-wrenching legends, but it turned out to be an internal struggle of super life.
All I can say is that there is nothing new under the sun.
In other words, the nature of the same world is always the same.
If you look back at the history of the ninja world over the past several thousand years from a certain perspective, you will find that it was all infighting among relatives.
The big fight in the ninja world is not a war between the five major ninja villages or the five major countries, but an internal family dispute within the Otsutsuki family over the treatment of their mother.
The hundreds of years of struggle between the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan have been shrouded in the shadow of a pair of brothers' ideological struggles.
The shadow even extended to the internal struggle of Konoha Village, like a leech attached to its bones, continuously consuming the lives of Konoha Village ninjas.
The Kingdom of Ghosts can even go a step further and be an internal struggle after a life splits itself.
The main body of monsters wanted to devour the small body of the witch, and the witch sealed the main body that had lost its mind in order to protect itself.
The sealed monsters created the third part, Huangquan, which tirelessly helped the monsters devour the witch.
Uchiha You asked curiously: "Doesn't Huang Quan know that he is also a part of Wuliang? Doesn't he want to maintain his current independence?"
Miroku replied: "I have had contact with Huang Quan. He firmly believes that he is a human being. He firmly believes that he can control the monsters after liberating them. He firmly believes that he can master the immortal power of the monsters and eventually dominate the entire ninja world."
Uchiha You praised: "Using desire to drive the puppet to act, Wuliang's control over Huangquan is very tricky. How did it do it? Or did it form naturally?"
This time, Maitreya shook his head and replied, "I don't know. In my impression, this incident seems to be an accidental product, not something that the ghosts did on purpose."
I don't know but I have an impression of it, and the witch's explanation is even more confusing.
Miwa Masayo asked this question curiously.
Miroku smiled bitterly and said, "This is also an accident, and it is an accident that I didn't know about."
Then she explained her situation to Miwa Masayo and Uchiha Yu.
The conflicting relationship between the three parts of the same life was originally very clear.
Monsters are immortal and can only be sealed but not killed.
The essence of the witch is immortal, but the body is a human with a lifespan of only a few decades, which is passed on through the birth of daughters. All the power of the witch, including memory and emotions, is perfectly inherited by her daughter.
The original witch seemed to be passed down from generation to generation, but in fact she was just one person.
That is what is called I gave birth to myself.
The original Huang Quan was an ignorant puppet who just instinctively helped the main body to remove the seal and was easy to deal with.
Therefore, in the first few hundred years, the witch could always easily defeat Huang Quan and successfully seal the monsters.
But no matter how simple the matter is, after thousands of years of continuation, a few accidents are inevitable.
In several accidents, the first to have problems were the monsters.
It lost its sanity and turned from an intelligent life into a chaotic monster, running wildly on the road of madness, unable to even maintain its own existence and turned into a ball of energy.
This change allowed the monsters to merge successfully with the earth, and the difficulty of sealing them increased dramatically. In recent generations, they were even able to force the priestess to die in the sealing process.
The collapse of Wuliang's sanity led to Huang Quan's freedom. He deeply integrated with the human he was inhabiting, and transformed from an ignorant puppet into a lustful and ambitious guy.
Finally, there was a problem with the inheritance of the witch.
Perhaps due to the continuous deaths caused by the difficulty of sealing, the memories of the priestess could not be passed on to the next generation, and only vague impressions remained.
From then on, the two generations of neighboring witches became mother and daughter.
By now, things in the Demon Kingdom have become a mess. Not to mention that outsiders like Miwa Masayo and Uchiha Yu can't figure it out, even the miko herself can't explain it clearly.
Miroku smiled and said, "I know from the prophecy just now that you have the ability to deal with Wuliang and Huangquan, and I also found that even if I die because of Wuliang's death, Shion will not die with me."
"My daughter will no longer inherit the power of the witch to seal the monsters. She will completely break free from the witch's reincarnation and become a real human."
"The fate of the witch of the Demon Country is to seal the monsters, and it will end completely in her generation."
Miroku stared at his daughter with a look of sadness, relief, and a hint of suppressed fear.
She is also a living person, and it is normal for her to be afraid of death.
Uchiha You was silent for a while, then asked, "You predicted the future, so you probably don't know your own fate. Why are you still afraid of death?"
Maitreya explained: "Because prophecy is never reliable. All the pictures I can see are just possible futures, and not even the biggest possibilities."
"From my experience, whenever you come into conflict with a ghost, it is likely to die, and I may die along with it."
Uchiha You nodded and agreed: "The future is never certain, and the past cannot be changed."
He admired Maitreya's attitude towards the ability of prediction. While attaching great importance to it, he was also able to remain cautious enough and never rely on it superstitiously.
And this woman is also very good in dealing with people.
When he first met Uchiha You, Miroku destroyed the illusion field to demonstrate his strength, while at the same time talking to Uchiha You in a reluctant tone.
During the conversation, she maintained just the right amount of authority, expressing her dissatisfaction and anger in a restrained manner, while at the same time politely expressing her respect for Konoha Village.
Miroku is the most difficult politician Uchiha Yu has encountered in the 19 years since his rebirth. In front of the miko, those ministers of the Fire Nation are all stupid sons of landlords.
Uchiha You felt very uncomfortable being controlled, but he couldn't find an effective way to fight back.
Fortunately, he had already overturned the table in front of the Third Hokage, so he could just copy it if he was unhappy. As a result, as soon as he showed his Mangekyō Sharingan, Miroku immediately gave in.
She didn't just admit defeat, she also mentioned the Eternal Eye at the right time, trying to seduce Uchiha You.
Finding that Uchiha You was not bullied, she sensed danger and immediately put her daughter down to gain sympathy.
Feeling that Uchiha Yuu and Miwa Masayo's attitudes had softened, Miroku, despite his status as the ruler of a country, prostrated himself before Uchiha Yuu, expressing his complete submission.
Then he revealed all the secrets he knew, speaking candidly about his secrets and showing his value.
The shrine maiden Maitreya is extremely knowledgeable and experienced, and is truly worthy of being a shrine maiden with a thousand-year heritage.
After seemingly losing her memory but retaining her impressions, the witch achieved a heritage that took into account both inheritance and renewal. Relying on the ability of metabolism, she updated her knowledge and insights to avoid being abandoned by the times.
Compared to this one, her daughter Shion is so useless.
Although he saw through Miroku's intention, Uchiha You no longer had any thoughts of punishment. Instead, he was full of admiration and wanted to recruit the priestess as his subordinate.
This person is a wild management talent with excellent management skills and strong personal strength. His reputation in the Land of Ghosts is deeply rooted.
Through the shrine maidens and priests, Maitreya can even control a circle of small countries around him.
You know, the place where the monsters are sealed is not in the Land of Ghosts, but in the Swamp Country far to the west. Every time something goes wrong with the seal, no one comes out to protest, which shows the prestige of the witch in these small countries.
Such powerful, multi-talented people are definitely a scarce resource in the ninja world.
…
After Uchiha You obtained the location of the seal, he took Miwa Masayo away from the shrine, then took off into the air and headed straight for the Swamp Country in the west.
While flying in the sky, Miwa Masayo suddenly asked, "Why don't you accept the witch's surrender, meow?"
Uchiha You was stunned for a moment, then replied with a smile: "Because the timing is not right, even if I agree now, they won't really accept it."
"Meow? I saw her bowing and kneeling, and complaining to you. Isn't she asking for your protection, meow?"
"Haha, that was just a gesture. I only showed a pair of beautiful contact lenses, but I didn't show the ability to deal with the monsters. She was just preparing for what was to come."
"Besides, if I really kill Wuliang, she will die with him. When a person dies, the lights go out, and the tea is forgotten. Only the three of us heard the promise. Do you think the people of the Ghost Country will seriously fulfill it?"
"It's actually like this, meow!"
"She is such a hateful woman, meow! No wonder I hate her when I see her!"
"Lihua-chan, are you jealous?"
"Bah! No meow!"
"Hmm~, jealous and shy Lihua-chan is so cute."
"Meow meow meow? Meow meow, meow, meow?"
"You can't pretend you can't speak."
"Hate meow!"
The angry Miwa Masayo used the cat punch, and the white little claws and the bouncy balls of flesh gave a gentle touch on Uchiha Yu's thick skin on the head.
Uchiha You laughed and increased his flying speed.
Sure enough, with the company of the tabby cat, the boring journey became very interesting.
Especially flying. After the initial excitement and craziness faded, traveling by air became a dull and tedious task.
After all, Uchiha You is the controller of the flight, not the passenger and enjoyer of the flight.
At this moment, he suddenly understood those immortals. No wonder they didn't fly by themselves. They either had a mount or a magic weapon.
There are even magical weapons that contain beautiful things and have mountains and rivers in their belly. From the outside, it looks like it is flying at high speed, but inside, you can actually enjoy the mountains and rivers, drink to your heart's content, and enjoy the singing and dancing of birds.
It’s a fairy-like life. Sure enough, all fairies know how to live it.
Uchiha You secretly decided that he would create a similar magic weapon in the future, but of course not for traveling in the ninja world.
The size of the Ninja Realm is not very large, only about 40,000 miles long and wide. As long as he spends some time, he will be able to carve the Flying Thunder God Seal all over the land of the Ninja Realm according to the longitude and latitude.
By then, no matter where he went, he would only need to complete a short flight of a few hundred kilometers at most.
Flying magic weapons will be used for longer flights, such as... going to the sky, and traveling across the starry sky.
It’s not that Uchiha You is too ambitious, but his own existence proves that the Otsutsuki clan is also a fact, and they will come eventually.
And Uchiha You himself will also grow up, and with the blessing of infinite lifespan, one day he will get tired of the ninja world and find no fun in it.
By that time, except for a few people around him, there will be no life he is familiar with in the ninja world. Taking his companions who can live forever and leaving the cradle to travel far away may become his only choice.
The flying speed is very fast, and the biggest advantage is that it can avoid the terrible terrain of the Swamp Country. Uchiha You quickly arrived at the sealed area.
High in the sky, Miwa Masayo and Uchiha You looked down and saw the earth covered with densely packed earthenware figurines arranged in neat formations, waving their weapons vigorously and digging criss-crossing ditches on the ground.
The ditches are used for drainage and also for breaking seals.
Uchiha You keenly felt that as the earthen figurines on the ground worked hard, the strange chakra seeping out of the ground was increasing significantly.
As this gloomy chakra permeated, earthen figurines emerged from the ground like bamboo shoots after the rain, and then joined the army of earthen figurines.
As more and more earthenware figurines joined the army, the excavation on the ground progressed faster and faster, and the speed of dark chakra infiltration was also accelerating.
Obviously the seal is about to be broken.
Miwa Masayo also noticed the change and asked, "The seal is about to break, meow. What should we do?"
Uchiha You replied: "Once the seal is broken, my target will not be these mud figures."
"And there are too many of these mud figures. If the monsters don't show up, I won't be able to find the underworld in this mud. Let's just wait."
The crisscrossing ditches on the ground continued to extend, and Uchiha You watched with great interest, but his main attention was focused on the earthen figurines all over the ground.
According to the plot in his memory, these earthen figurines were called Terracotta Warriors by Huang Quan. They were immune to damage from ordinary people's weapons and had extremely strong combat capabilities.
However, such power only exists in the perspective of ordinary people. In front of ninjas, clay figurines can be said to be useless and can be easily dealt with.
However, Uchiha You admired this method of large-scale control very much, and he even went one step further than the puppeteer of the Sand Village.
The control method of the clay figurines is very similar to the stone puppets of the Otsutsuki clan on the moon, but in terms of quality and controllability, the two are worlds apart.
The rock puppet is a deluxe and more powerful version, while the clay figurine in front of him is the ultimate bankrupt beggar version.
It’s just that Uchiha You felt that he could use something better than Wuliang and Huangquan.
Using Wood Release as the skeleton and clay as the filling, it should be possible to create and control a giant puppet.
The most important thing is that in the Zifu world, there is no need to consider the issue of materials at all. As long as the energy operation structure is reasonable, the theoretical maximum enhancement can be achieved.
Especially the ability to operate and work automatically is what Uchiha You urgently wants.
There are only some buildings above the clouds in the Zifu world. It's not because Uchiha You likes his world to remain wild, but because there is no one responsible for the construction.
The Zifu World is his spiritual world. Its construction does not require physical strength and materials, but it requires Uchiha to expend his imagination and energy to build it bit by bit.
He is alone, so no matter how efficient he is, it will not work. Not to mention how long it will take him to finish the work, he cannot stand the boredom of it.
It would be wonderful if these clay figurines could really be replicated in Zifu, taking on the hard work of construction instead of ourselves, turning the construction of the Zifu world into a placement game.
However, Miwa Masayo was not interested in this. She soon lost the motivation to watch and leaned on Uchiha Yu's shoulder with her eyes closed to rest.
Fortunately, they were lucky and the hard-working earthenware figurines did not make them wait too long. By dark, the seal was completely broken.
A chaotic and evil chakra wave rose into the sky, and the new coordinates were about 20 kilometers away from Uchiha You and the others.
When Uchiha You flew over, he just saw Huang Quan walking out of the dug underground.
Under the illumination of the torches held up by the clay figurines, Huang Quan's hair and beard fluttered, and his expression revealed madness and arrogance in his indifference. He simply stretched out his hand and pushed forward, and more clay figurines stood up on the ground in unison.
These earthen figurines wearing helmets and armor and holding long-handled weapons look more powerful than the original large number of earthen figurines, and can indeed be called Terracotta Warriors.
Although there were no other living people around, only the Terracotta Warriors watching, Huang Quan still announced loudly: "Today! It is the beginning of my conquest of the ninja world."
"Let's go! Our target is the shrine in the Land of Demons. As long as I can devour the miko, no one in the world will be able to stop my army of terracotta warriors!"
The rumbling sound of footsteps was heard, and the Terracotta Warriors began to move, gradually gathering into square formations and marching towards the east in big strides.
And those previously dusty earthenware figurines were transformed one by one when they passed through Huangquan. They were equipped with thick armor and sharp weapons and joined the huge legion.
Miwa Masayo and Uchiha Yuu were stunned.
It’s not that the Terracotta Army is strong, but that they march too slowly.
The powerful steps demonstrated a strong momentum, but the legion's marching speed was only 5 kilometers per hour at most, which was really too slow.
No wonder even when the seal is about to be broken, the shrine maiden can still sit calmly in the shrine, waiting calmly for the ninja reinforcements from the three major ninja villages.
She really knows what's going on.
