Chapter 643: Face
Because of the unique nature of the Demon-Buddha Dharma, the Hundred Ghost Witches are mutually attracted to one another; once they draw near, they experience a hazy, indistinct resonance.
Of course, generally speaking, this is not actually a good thing. After all, although this cultivation technique originates from the Buddhist Sect, it is a Demon-Buddha method, and between the lines, it is almost entirely written with the word "cannibalism."
In order to condense the final Demon-Buddha Body, the Hundred Ghosts who have achieved success in their cultivation must convert one another; only by gathering the power of the Hundred Ghosts can the technique reach completion and the fruit of the Buddha be attained.
Because of this special cultivation method, the strange resonance between the Hundred Ghosts becomes somewhat terrifying. It is more like a "hunting" resonance, especially since the more powerful the demon, the stronger the resonance they have toward others...
However, power is dead, while people are alive. Pure power has nothing to do with good or evil; the key lies in how the person using it chooses to use it.
Just like right now...
The Great Sun Wheel behind Dorothy's head shines brightly, and the Prajna wisdom of the Bodhisattva makes her heart as clear as a mirror. Yet, ripples suddenly begin to stir within that lake of the heart, which should have been without a single wave.
These ripples spread continuously, just like the signal display of a radar, and the center point of that signal is clearly the location of other Hundred Ghost Witches.
The detection range of an average Hundred Ghost Witch is roughly a few thousand meters around herself; those who are more powerful might be able to perceive distances of over a dozen or even a hundred kilometers, but Dorothy...
Well, she is like someone who has turned on a full-map perspective hack; her heart-lake is covered in ripples everywhere.
Do you understand the gold content of the One-Thought Bodhisattva Realm?
And among those ripples filling the screen, a few are exceptionally clear. Presumably, these must be the relatively powerful existences among the Hundred Ghost Witches.
However, the Home Witch notices an anomaly at a glance: within this heart-lake radar, several ripples are overlapping, and these overlapping ripples are moving at high speed. Every time they pass another ripple, they quickly devour it, then immediately rush toward the next area.
"Is someone hunting the Hundred Ghosts?"
Such an anomaly immediately makes Dorothy's heart tighten. She looks at the movement trajectory of those overlapping ripples, and then she also quickens her pace.
She is somewhat worried that other Hundred Ghost Witches might have seen through the cultivation method of the Demon-Buddha Dharma and are already prepared to start hunting.
Fortunately, when she finally arrives at the scene, she breathes a sigh of relief.
What is this? It turns out it is just an Onmyoji exorcising demons.
Although Dorothy's impression of these Onmyoji from the Yingzhou Island is not very good due to the previous actions of He Mao Zhongxing, she is not yet extreme enough to strike down all Onmyoji with a single blow.
One can only say that in a large forest, there are all kinds of birds; one cannot judge an entire profession based on the character of an individual.
However, since He Mao Zhongxing, the head of the Onmyo Bureau, is black to the core, then it is highly probable that if the upper beam is crooked, the lower ones will be askew as well.
Fortunately, after this trip to the Huang Quan, the Home Witch has gained a pretty good little ability, which is actually quite suitable for use in this situation.
"Judgment Eye, open."
In Dorothy's eyes, the phantom of the illusory Ghost Gate flashes and vanishes, and then her vision undergoes a subtle change.
Just like the Heaven Eye vision of the Qi-Observing Art, everything in her field of vision becomes misty and hazy, and everyone she sees is shrouded in a layer of halo.
However, unlike the colorful halos symbolizing various fates observed by the Qi-Observing Art, under the vision of the Judgment Eye, the halos on people only have two colors.
Red and gold.
Red represents karma, and gold represents merit.
This Judgment Eye is a new ability given to her by the Senior Fan Ni at the Cherry Blossom Viewing Banquet not long ago. However, this time it is not Dorothy's exclusive ability, but merely a professional skill.
The Netherworld System will soon undergo reform, and at that time, a special institution called the "Netherworld Judgment Court" will be newly established, specifically responsible for judging the souls of witches after death and deciding their fate after reincarnation in their next lives.
And the Judgment Eye is the exclusive professional skill of the Netherworld Judges; they can see through the karma and merit of a witch's soul at a glance, thereby facilitating subsequent reincarnation rulings.
However, because the Netherworld Judgment Court is still under construction, Dorothy might be the only Netherworld Judge for the time being; this counts as an internal beta treatment for her.
Of course, since it is judgment, there must naturally be laws to follow and reasons to base it on. The evaluation of this Judgment Eye is naturally not based on empty words or random judgments; this ability naturally has a whole set of judgment standards.
However, those judgment standards are not decided by the witches, but are personally ruled by the World Mother.
Well, simply put, that which is beneficial to the growth of the Witch World is merit, and that which is harmful to the growth of the Witch World is karma. Moreover, the two systems of merit and karma are calculated independently and cannot offset each other.
To understand it simply: if you kill a person to save a person, your saving of the person is merit, and the killing is karma; the merit of saving the person cannot offset the karma of your killing.
Therefore, when witches die and enter the Netherworld, their merit and karma will both be brought out for liquidation, and finally, the judges will compare the two to make a final verdict.
However, Dorothy also discovers that the World Mother's judgment standards are also a little bit special.
The first time she obtained this Judgment Eye, she recklessly took a look at the Senior Fan Ni and the two little ones, and then she almost caught "red-eye disease" on the spot.
Well, it was truly red.
Clearly, according to normal witch logic, the contribution of the three Kings to the Witch World is enormous; the three of them should undoubtedly have great merit, but reality is not so.
The merit of the Senior Fan Ni and the other two, when viewed individually, is indeed as vast as the sea, but when compared with the karma on their bodies, the gap is very obvious.
Among the three, the ratio of merit to karma for Iblu Yongyi is the most balanced, at about 4 to 6, while the little fat dragon is 3 to 7, and as for the Senior Fan Ni...
Well, 0.1 to 9.9.
That is simply outrageous.
Clearly, if it weren't for the rise of the Senior Fan Ni, the Witch World would have been gone already, okay?
But the Judgment Eye indeed rules it this way.
Of course, talking only about ratios without looking at the total amount is also being a hooligan. Although the Senior Fan Ni's merit ratio is small, the size of her merit sea is actually as large as the combined merit seas of Iblu Yongyi and the little fat dragon.
Therefore, one can only say that the Senior Fan Ni has a lot of merit, but even more karma.
Dorothy is quite curious about what the Senior Fan Ni actually did to the World Mother back then, which led to such monstrous karma.
That has become a true red-name monster.
Sigh, if the Witch World were a game, then these three would probably all be final bosses.
Regarding such an unreasonable judgment result from the World Mother, the Home Witch thinks for a moment, then becomes thoughtful.
Thinking about it carefully, it is true. Although witches and the Witch World are symbiotic and can be seen as one body, if one looks closely, is it the witch civilization that is prosperous now, or the Witch World?
In the Western Universe, mentioning the Witch World, it is very famous, but if you ask someone from another world where the Pan Duola World is, most people would probably say they don't know it.
emmmm...
The feeding of the witches has undoubtedly accelerated the growth of the World Mother, but is simple growth really good?
Although this might be a bit inappropriate, Dorothy first thought of the livestock from her previous life that were fed hormones to grow meat.
Looking plump and beautiful, but actually sick throughout their lives, and the meat doesn't taste that good either.
Suddenly, Dorothy understands where the Senior Fan Ni's monstrous sins come from.
This thing is not a Judgment Eye at all; it is clearly the World Mother's physical examination report.
However, although this judgment rule is a bit strange, the ability is still quite useful, just like now.
The Home Witch opens the Judgment Eye, and her gaze sweeps over the few people in front of her.
First is that gentle young lady standing next to her; the merit-to-karma ratio is 6 to 4, still a good person, pass.
Then there is that handsome Onmyoji who is a bit androgynous; good fellow, this light of merit is really abundant, 7 to 3, a great good person, pass.
Finally, Dorothy turns her gaze to the Hundred Ghost Witch who is bound by the Onmyoji's magic array.
This ninja witch, full of baleful aura and still retaining a thick, bloody smell on her body, doesn't look like a good person at all; she looks more like a terrifying murderer who just killed a whole family.
If she didn't have the Judgment Eye, judging people solely by their appearance, Dorothy might also think this is an out-of-control demon.
Yet, in reality...
"Wow, Golden Legend, good fellow, did this young lady save the world? How can there be such a thick light of merit, 9.9 to 0.1? Are you a living saint?"
The Home Witch rubs her eyes, a bit suspicious that she might be seeing things.
She immediately widens her eyes and then interprets the composition of this ninja lady's merit and karma.
Although this Judgment Eye cannot directly see through exactly what good or bad things others have done, the general type can still be guessed.
Well, most of the karma is killing sins, and it's quite fresh. Calculating the number, it's about a hundred or so witch lives. Good fellow, did you really go and exterminate a family?
Dorothy is a bit dumbfounded.
And when she looks at the merit again, she cannot help but be even more speechless.
"God, it's almost all merit from eliminating evil."
The Home Witch is stunned.
She finally understands what is going on with this strange merit-to-karma ratio on this ninja lady; she has directly poked a nest of villains.
What a heroine who punishes evil and promotes good.
Realizing who among the three people confronting each other is the truly good person, Dorothy no longer hesitates, and she decisively steps forward.
"This Onmyoji lady, could you give me some face and release all my good sisters?"
The Home Witch came out this time to pull together a righteous Hundred Ghost team, and this ninja lady is clearly the ghost talent she needs; this is a case of "don't miss it when you pass by."
Great, this woman is destined to have a connection with me.
Miss Slippery Ghost immediately uses her Face-Fruit ability.
And opposite, Abe Seimei is also facing a formidable enemy at this moment.
As the youngest Great Onmyoji in the history of Yingzhou Island, she has always been quite confident in her own strength; even when facing those famous old seniors, she has never been afraid.
But now, she is truly a bit panicked.
Of course, what she fears is certainly not that flamboyant witch who is wearing a black haori, carrying a demon sword at her waist, wearing a strange clown mask on her face, and hanging a sun-wheel effect behind her head.
As a Peak Witch, the Onmyoji lady saw through at a glance that this is just a little witch with only fifty or sixty thousand mana; the threat is completely negligible.
It's just that, although the face of this weak little witch is worthless, the team behind her...
Standing in the first row behind this weak witch are three witches.
On the left is a pure white witch with six wings on her back, on the right is a charming beauty swaying nine tails, and in the middle is a tall red-clothed evil ghost.
All three of them radiate obvious demon aura, especially the red-clothed evil ghost in the middle, whose demon aura can be said to be soaring to the sky.
"Jiu Tun Tongzi, Da Tian Gou, Yu Zao Qian."
Miss Great Onmyoji, as a professional demon-subduing expert, naturally recognized the inheritance of these three demon witches at a glance, and this is the source of her pressure.
This is the inheritance of the three great demon kings that has been passed down for a long time on Demon Mountain. She knows that the inheritance of Jiu Tun Tongzi has an owner, but when did the inheritances of Da Tian Gou and Yu Zao Qian also have owners?
Abe Seimei's mood is somewhat heavy.
For the Onmyo Bureau, the existence of one ghost king is already very troublesome, let alone three together now; this world is going to be in chaos.
Of course, although the names of the three great demon kings are scary, Miss Great Onmyoji is actually not very afraid, because among these three, the only one who can truly pose a threat to her is the long-famous Jiu Tun Tongzi. As for Da Tian Gou and Yu Zao Qian, they look like they have just obtained the inheritance and are only at the Great Witch Realm, not worth fearing.
It's just that the opponent's team doesn't only have these four people; the truly terrifying ones are the last two.
The one on the left is half-human, half-spider; her upper body is a beauty with a hot figure, but her lower body is a hideous and terrifying spider body. Those eight furry spider legs support her on the ground, and the tip of every leg glitters with cold light.
Luo Xin Fu.
Miss Great Onmyoji immediately thought of the name of this demon, but when did such a terrifying Luo Xin Fu appear on Yingzhou Island?
Feeling the heavy aura on this spider demon that makes even her feel suppressed, Abe Seimei has a sense of fear that she has already fallen into a spider web.
She knows that she is probably not the opponent of this spider demon.
And what makes people despair is the beauty about eight feet tall standing next to this Luo Xin Fu.
She wears a white round hat, wears a white Western-style dress, and a head of long golden hair is as dazzling as sunlight, but the wide brim of the hat covers her face, so her features cannot be seen, only the mouth that reveals a creepy smile can be vaguely seen.
Eight-Foot Adult.
The Great Onmyoji immediately recognized the name of this demon. This is a newly promoted Great Demon on Yingzhou Island; she once raged for a time a hundred years ago, but no one could subdue her. In the end, she disappeared on her own, which allowed the island to return to peace.
But now, this Great Demon seems to have reappeared, and this time, she has become even more terrifying than before.
The pressure Abe Seimei feels from her is no less than that from the Luo Xin Fu.
However, whether it is the three demon king inheritors or these two terrifying Great Demons, they are all very obediently crowding around the inconspicuous little witch at this moment, looking as if they respect her as their leader.
This forces the Great Onmyoji to re-examine this weak little witch whom she didn't take to heart before.
This might really be an incredible existence; perhaps I really should give her some face.
Miss Great Onmyoji thinks to herself.
