Lin Chuan nodded nervously, then asked: "Is She Shi dead?"
Yu Su raised his eyebrows slightly: "You knew he would die?"
Lin Chuan shook his head: "I divined for myself and She before I was locked up in prison. The result of the divination was that I could get out of prison in a few years. She Shi would not let me go, only if he died could I regain my freedom."
So, Lin Chuan was sure that She Shi was dead.
Yu Su: "How did you offend She Shi?"
Lin Chuan: "He asked me to find the escaped Yan people, I told him the opposite divination result. After such things happened several times, he became suspicious of me."
Lin Chuan was indeed locked up by She Shi for saving people. After Yu Su confirmed that he did not lie, he let him go.
After Lin Chuan was released, Yu Shan brought a witch to see Yu Su.
"Yu Su, this witch just deliberately provoked and wanted us to lock Lin Chuan back in prison." After Yu Shan finished speaking, the witch shivered and knelt on the ground.
"Respected priest, I didn't deliberately provoke. Lin Chuan really made a big mistake and was locked up in prison. Such a criminal can't be released."
Yu Shan stared at him coldly, "Your so-called mistake is that Lin Chuan saved the Yan people?"
The witch heard this and knew that Yu Shan and the others already knew the truth. His face turned white immediately, "Those Yan people refused to offer sacrifices to the Witch Temple, and spread words that were unfavorable to the Witch Temple everywhere. We caught them because we should."
Yu Shan: "She Shi asked the Yan people to offer their children to feed the snake gu, which is a cruel act. You didn't stop it, but deliberately targeted Lin Chuan who stood up to stop it. Are you one of She Shi's accomplices?"
The witch's cold sweat dripped down, and he hurriedly said, "I'm not, I'm not! I just thought that Lin Chuan's behavior was disloyal to the Witch Temple, and I didn't think deeply. Now, now I think about it, catching the Yan people was wrong in the first place, and Lin Chuan didn't make a mistake when he stood up to stop it. It's right to let him out."
Yu Su: "Is that really what you think?"
The witch didn't dare to look up at Yu Su: "It's true, I really just want the best for the Witch Temple."
Yu Shan kicked him hard: "You still dare to quibble, if you don't tell your real purpose, I will break your leg."
The witch screamed in pain, covering his almost broken leg in horror, and dared not quibble anymore. He trembled and told his real purpose: "I'm just afraid that Lin Chuan will come out and take the position of the great witch."
The witch said that because Lin Chuan and the former Ling Zhen great witch were both white witches, and had the ability to divine, he was afraid that Jian Yun Chuan would know Lin Chuan's existence and support Lin Chuan to become the great witch, so he tried his best to prevent Lin Chuan from coming out.
Yu Su heard this and didn't bother to look at him again. He asked Yu Shan to take him away and deal with him.
Afterwards, Yu Su told Jian Yun Chuan about this. Jian Yun Chuan: "Ling Zhen great witch was indeed a white witch, but what does this have to do with Lin Chuan, it's inexplicable."
Yu Su: "Originally I didn't intend to intervene in the selection of the Feng City great witch, but now it seems that it's better for us to choose this person ourselves."
Jian Yun Chuan understood as soon as he heard it: "You want to choose Lin Chuan?"
Yu Su: "It's very reasonable, isn't it? He and Ling Zhen great witch are the same, both are white witches, and good at divination. As long as he can get the recognition of the witch god, then it's a done deal."
Jian Yun Chuan touched his chin and said: "But the witch god has long dissipated, and there may be a trace of divine light left on the witch god statue, but it is very weak. Ling Zhen great witch said when he took over that the divine light of the witch god was almost gone."
Yu Su: "This is not difficult."
…
Since Yu Su decided to choose the Feng City great witch himself, this matter was soon arranged.
Of course, the external statement was that Yu Su saw that the various families and the witches of the Witch Temple could not argue for a result, and did not want to waste time. He directly followed the previous rules and let the witch god choose this great witch.
At the same time, he also invited the city lords and great witches of the nine cities to watch the ceremony.
The city lord of Li Shui City was puzzled: "Great witch, what do you think Yu Su priest is thinking? Does he really want the witch god to choose the Feng City great witch?"
Who doesn't want to hold Feng City in their own hands now, Yi City has secretly contacted the various families frequently, and wants to swallow Feng City with ambition.
The great witch of Li Shui City couldn't figure it out either, but letting the witch god choose was better than letting the various families intervene in the selection of the great witch of the Witch Temple, at least it wouldn't be controlled by Yi City.
As for the rest, maybe they would know the outcome on the day of the ceremony.
The time soon came to the day of the great witch selection, and the city lords and great witches of the nine cities came, and the clan leaders of the various families in Feng City also arrived.
The Witch Temple was full of people.
The witches followed the tradition and held a ceremony.
But they didn't know who Yu Su planned to let go to the statue to accept the test of the witch god.
When it came to the test link, everyone looked at Yu Su.
Yu Su: "Since it is a fair selection, then all the witches who have witch power will participate, regardless of age. The clan leaders of the various families who want to try can also come forward."
Yu Su's conditions were very generous, and the clan leaders of the various families were surprised. They didn't expect that they could also try, and they suddenly felt hopeful, hoping that they were the lucky ones.
The city lord and great witch of Yi City looked at each other, and both showed a trace of regret.
If they had known this, they should have acted faster. Now that Yu Su suddenly intervened, the matter of intervening in the selection of the great witch of Feng City was full of uncertainty.
If the one they supported was selected, it would be fine. If not, it would be a waste of effort.
"Start–"
The witch who presided over the ceremony shouted loudly.
All the witches and clan leaders who participated in the test formed a long queue.
The first ones to be tested were the clan leaders of the various families.
There were more than a dozen people, according to the rules, they knelt and prayed to the statue of the witch god, feeling the guidance of the witch god, if they could get the recognition of the witch god, there would be divine light.
"I haven't seen the divine light for many years."
"Me too, even when Ling Zhen great witch took over, I only saw a faint halo covering Ling Zhen great witch, and it disappeared after a while."
"There was none when She Shi took over."
"Pfft, what is he, he is a usurper, the witch god will not recognize him."
Some old people in the city discussed, their voices were not small, many people could hear them, and they became more and more looking forward to whether there would be miracles.
The hearts of the clan leaders of the various families were beating very fast, and their hands were shaking with nervousness.
When the first person knelt down, his expression was very pious, he closed his eyes and prayed constantly, hoping that the witch god would hear his voice and choose him as the great witch.
But ten minutes passed and there was still no movement.
The witch who presided over the ceremony coughed: "Clan leader Xi, you should get up."
The clan leader who knelt in front of the statue, Xi Shi, was reluctant to get up, "Wait a minute, wait a minute and it will be there!"
"Let…"
"I said Xi Shi, just give up, the witch god won't choose you."
The clan leaders of the various families behind were impatient, and if they didn't care about Yu Su being there, they would have dragged Xi Shi away.
Yu Su saw that they were all impatient, and then said: "Each person can stay for up to a quarter of an hour, and leave if there is no response after a quarter of an hour."
Xi Shi had already exceeded a quarter of an hour, and was immediately driven away from the statue.
Xi Shi's face was full of frustration and unwillingness, but unwillingness was useless, the witch god did not choose him.
Then it was the second, third, fourth…
The clan leaders of the various families took turns to go forward, and each of them lingered for a quarter of an hour before they were willing to leave.
However, the statue was still silent.
More than a dozen people were tested, and none of them were selected.
The people who were not selected before saw this scene and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They were not selected, and the clan leaders of other families were not selected, so there was no advantage.
Next was the queue of witches.
After She Shi and his party members were cleared, there were more than thirty witches left in the Witch Temple.
These witches all said that they had witch power, but in fact there were no more than five people who really had witch power. Yu Su didn't poke through this point, and let these thirty people go up one by one for the test.
Lin Chuan stood at the back of the queue, also full of expectations in his heart.
He didn't want to divine for himself, but after hesitating for a long time, he didn't divine.
No matter who he chose, he thought the witch god must have his own considerations.
More than twenty people in front of him also lingered for a quarter of an hour each, and a lot of time had passed.
The people who were originally full of expectations were a bit numb.
"Did the witch god abandon us a long time ago?"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
"But no one has been selected until now, and let She Shi, that bastard, be the great witch for so long."
This made people fearful, and even the city lords and great witches of the nine cities couldn't help but have thoughts.
Jian Yun Chuan and the others knew it well, Yu Su had said it a long time ago, the witch god had dissipated a long time ago, and the occasional traces of divine power left on the earth were nothing but the remnants of the gods.
Even the divine light in this Witch Temple would sooner or later dissipate.
But most of the people living on this land don't know this fact.
The Yuan Witch Clan who knew this would not bring it up.
But some things are the inevitable trend of history. Yu Su remembered that in the later stage of the Magic Continent, very few people could sense the oracle, and by the end of the magic era, the oracle had long disappeared from the Magic Continent.
There were two opinions at that time: one was that the gods had dissipated; the other was that the gods had abandoned the Magic Continent.
On this point, even Yu Su had no answer.
All-knowing like the All-Science Elf, also did not know which one was correct.
Yu Su's thoughts on this were very complicated.
Anyone who had experienced the end of the magic era would have a complex view of the gods.
Anyway, the matter of the gods was far from what Yu Su could think of now.
"Next."
The next person was Lin Chuan, Yu Su recovered his thoughts, ready to intervene later.
But when Lin Chuan knelt in front of the statue of the witch god, Yu Su suddenly felt something, and didn't intervene after a moment of stunned, but looked up at the dome of the Witch Temple.
