It's quiet at night.
Everything was silent.
The door of the room was gently pushed open, and in the darkness, a miko wearing white clothes and scarlet hakama stepped out gently.
She looked around the village, then turned back and closed the door without making the slightest sound. In this way, near midnight, the witch left her house and walked towards the outside of the village. Although her movements were very slight, she did not notice that when she passed a house, the little girl inside was not at all. Didn't fall asleep.
Xiao Ye was always thinking about what happened during the day, and she tossed and turned and didn't fall asleep much.
Although she got an answer from Sister Kikyo, her sister's worried look was something she had never seen before... It was all in the afternoon. That monk was not good!
Then at this moment, she happened to see the figure of the miko passing by the window.
Xiao Ye was stunned for a moment, her little heart suddenly jumped rapidly, and an uncontrollable thought emerged in her mind, and then firmly occupied all her thoughts - it was so late, Sister Kikyo was going to Where to go? Could it be... could he be preparing to leave here?
The little girl couldn't lie down anymore and immediately got up. Without waking her parents and younger brother who were sleeping soundly on the mat, she walked to the door quickly and looked out through the crack in the door.
She realized that it was not that she had seen it wrong, but that the witch sister was indeed walking towards the outside of the village. The slender figure was slowly walking through the fields, getting further and further away, and was about to disappear into the dark night. .
Gritting her teeth, she quietly opened the door and tiptoed into the night.
…………
The night was silent and as dark as ink.
Under this night, Kikyo walked quietly on the path in the field, looking calm.
It's just that she didn't notice the little tail following her far behind. From this incident, it can be seen that she is not as calm as she seems on the inside, and she doesn't know what she is thinking. Otherwise, it is hard to imagine that her perception would be so dull that she would not even notice that a little girl was following her.
After leaving the village and walking into the woods in the dark night, she soon came to an empty river bank. The miko stopped and looked around casually, feeling that there were woods covering the area. Even if there was any movement, the other side of the village would not be affected.
She listened to the gurgling sound of the river beside her, her expression calm and relaxed, and she gently raised one hand toward the sky.
The white clothes of the miko costume had wide and long sleeves, which slid down according to her movements, revealing her forearms as white as jade. At this moment, some faint spots of light appeared in the night sky, echoing her movements.
They appeared in the sky like fireflies flying on a summer night, heading straight for the river bank with a clear goal.
After quickly approaching, I could see that they were five or six slender and graceful things, like agile snakes. Their heads had delicate and small flying wings, and each of them firmly grasped a softly glowing thing. A ball of light with an illusory outline is flying towards this side.
On the bank of the river, the moonlight is bright and clear.
These smart "flying snakes" came to the witch's side, circled around her several times, and dropped the light group they caught, which was caught by the witch's hand.
Platycodon's soul has been reincarnated long ago, and now it has become another person. During the resurrection, it was the ghost Litao who used her spiritual bones and tomb soil to bake the body, and used magic to extract the reincarnated soul to resurrect it. , but in the subsequent fight, the soul was taken back by Higurashi Kagome.
The miko who fell short can only leave with the resentment of her life. However, the incomplete soul cannot last forever. She needs to collect the dead souls of girls to fill her body before she can act.
However, the dead souls will eventually ascend to heaven, and she cannot keep them in her hands forever, so after a short period of time, she will collect new dead souls...
"Poor dead girls, come to me." Muttering to herself, the witch carefully caught the light groups with a very gentle movement. Since they were the dead souls of girls, it meant that they were all still alive. It is indeed a pitiful fate for a girl to die very young.
Of course, he was not qualified to pity them... Kikyo didn't know what he was thinking of, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on his calm face.
Shaking her head gently, she looked at the dead soul insects that were gradually scattering, and frowned slightly. One of the dead soul insects didn't come back. Did something happen?
And at this time——
"Miko girl, are you... going to die with your eyes open?"
A sudden hoarse voice appeared in the woods behind her, and Kikyo sighed softly. She recognized that it was the wandering mage who had come to preach to her this afternoon.
The other party refused to give up. He was driven out of the village in the afternoon, and countless angry villagers threatened to beat him to death. But now, he still found him, and his determination can be said to be quite firm... maybe he has never left the village at all, and he must have been waiting for the opportunity.
But my heart was not calm either, and I didn’t realize this...
Thinking like this, Kikyo looked straight ahead and saw the spacious and calm river surface sparkling with sparkling waves under the bright moonlight.
She did not look back, but said softly: "Master, can you please let me go?"
"Are you a dead person? Forgive me, I can't pretend I didn't see it!" Old monk Qinghai's voice became extremely serious. He had already made some speculations during the day, and now that he saw the scene of dead soul insects collecting dead souls, it was even more serious. After being convinced of this, the aura exuding from him became obvious, and he seemed to be about to take action.
Frowning, Kikyo felt a trace of unspeakable annoyance in her heart. She turned around and was about to continue saying something, but after seeing the old monk's appearance clearly, she couldn't help being stunned.
The old monk opposite stood there solemnly, and behind him were the young monks. However, they were in a much more embarrassed state now than during the day. The monk's robes on their bodies were torn into tatters, and even if they tried hard to tidy them up, they were still in a state of embarrassment. It was damaged in many places and turned into rags.
The young monk had several bruises on his face, and the old monk also had one eye socket turned black and blue, and there was a piece of cloth stuffed in his nose, which seemed to be used to stop bleeding...
Even if he was standing there with a righteous and solemn look at this moment, holding the magic weapon in his hand, the aura of magic power fluctuating strongly, or showing an aura of uprightness and hatred of evil, it could not change this. The embarrassing appearance... even formed an extremely sharp contrast.
Although the witch didn't laugh, she was obviously stunned for a moment, and the expression on her face suddenly looked very strange.
There is a flaw!
This is the moment!
His eyes flashed with light, and the old monk shouted loudly. He suddenly raised his hand and clenched the magic weapon in his hand. It was a spherical object, engraved with a dragon-shaped pattern, like a dragon wrapping around a pearl. With the infusion of mana, the magic weapon bloomed with dazzling light.
From the overflowing light, a dragon-shaped figure roared out and quickly grew in response to the wind, turning into an outline several feet long!
Although it was summoned in the form of a divine dragon, the summoned object used the same method as a giant python to strangle its prey. The huge dragon-shaped shadow suddenly wrapped around the witch who was caught off guard opposite, and a claw also grabbed hard at her. Slender and graceful slender neck!
"Rest in peace, miko!"
The old monk shouted loudly. He felt the intense consumption of his own magic power, and he was also frightened. The terrifying level of the witch opposite him was probably far beyond his imagination! However, he did not intend to retreat, but ruthlessly increased the infusion of mana.
"You can't escape the Soul Binding Technique! Just ascend to heaven! Don't miss this world anymore, I'm saving your soul!"
He yelled loudly, hoping that his words would have some effect, even just a little bit. As long as the miko listened a little bit, her mind was shaken, and she would no longer be so resistant, it would be much easier for him to transcend the other party.
However……
There is indeed an effect, but it is a counter-effect.
After reacting, Kikyo's eyes suddenly turned cold, and even her tone had a rare hint of obvious anger: "Save me? - Just you?!"
"Master, look here!"
Two voices sounded at the same time, overlapping each other at this moment.
At this moment, the old monk heard the sound of wind in his ears, and his eyes widened in astonishment. As soon as he turned his head, he saw a fist zooming in his field of vision!
On the other side, the miko waved her sleeves vigorously, and the huge divine dragon tightly wrapped around her body was instantly stretched open by the terrifying and huge spiritual power! And that's not all, even under the huge spiritual impact, the entire body of the divine dragon burst apart inch by inch on the spot, as if it had been dismembered!
Instead of luminous fragments of flesh and blood shooting out in all directions, there seemed to be a rain of fragments by the river!
"ah!"
The old monk's cry of pain rang out. His whole body flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground. The magic weapon in his hand also flew out, rolled around on the ground a few times, and then shattered and cracked into pieces. A few pieces... Of course, it's not that the quality is bad and it's smashed, but it's the backlash caused by the magical dragon being directly shattered to pieces by the witch's spiritual power.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah……"
Seeing the old monk's decisive defeat, the young monk behind him was frightened, screamed, turned around and rolled into the woods, but no one stopped him.
"you you……"
The old monk was extremely distressed. He immediately looked at the magic weapon that he had taken away, but he didn't know that he had escaped death. With both eyes turning green and black, he raised his head from the ground and looked at the half-demon young man who had appeared at an unknown time in shock and anger, only to see that the other person had just enough time to retract his fist.
This is still the result of Gu Mo not trying his best, otherwise——
An old monk with an average physique is still so old. His 15 points of strength are really enough to punch someone to death, and their brains will explode.
"Master, why are you struggling so hard? I thought you had learned enough lessons during the day..."
Gu Mopi said with a smile. He did not look back at the witch behind him, but he could still feel the cold and low pressure emitting from Platycodon at this moment: "I was not stabbed to death by the villagers with a dung fork in the afternoon. I was able to run out. It’s already pretty good, why do you have to think so hard about it?”
"You...you..." The old monk was angry and anxious, but he was also a little breathless because of the old punch just now. He lay on the ground on all fours and panted for a long time before finally giving up. He looked up at the miko who was looking at him indifferently with a cold expression.
"I don't know...but, but, you can't pretend you didn't see it, and what on earth do you want to do when you stay in this world?"
"Only the living are qualified to continue to create the future, but the time of the dead has stopped, and there is no future..."
The old monk didn't seem to be afraid of the fate he might encounter next. Even at this time, he was still saying this sadly. He was not afraid of his failure or the fate of being killed. He just felt sincerely that what was happening in front of him was This dead man is very pitiful.
"..."
"..."
There was a brief silence in the air.
Kikyo looked at the embarrassed old monk coldly. Under the white moonlight, his temperament seemed to have become colder. But in the end, she didn't do anything, and no emotion could be heard in her tone, just as peaceful and plain as before——
"Go away and don't appear in front of me again."
She was indeed extremely angry just now, but even in the original fate track, the old monk's death was just an accidental injury. The mana was rebounded, and the sharp claws of the broken mana dragon penetrated her throat. She died because she was rebounded. And under the spell of return.
So now that he has calmed down, it is naturally even more impossible to take action.
"You..." The old monk looked up in shock. After realizing what he heard, he opened his mouth again as if he wanted to say something else.
"Give it up, Master."
Gu Mo leaned on a tree over there, lowered his head and picked at his nails, and said calmly and casually: "If obsession can be resolved with a few simple words, then obsession will not disappear. It’s obsession, you obviously can’t do anything...why don’t you understand?”
Reason cannot resolve obsessions, and force is far from a match. What else can the old monk do?
He is indeed a good person and a virtuous monk, but there is really no need to kill himself on this steel plate...
"The world is so chaotic. Master, wouldn't it be better for you to remain useful and save other people?" He stared at Master Qinghai and said this very straightforwardly.
His face suddenly turned gloomy, and the old monk's lips moved a few times. In the end, he didn't say anything, but let out a long sigh.
The old monk got up from the ground in a very embarrassed manner, patted the dust on his body, wiped the blood on his face, then silently picked up the dragon ball-shaped magic weapon that was broken into several pieces on the ground, and looked to the opposite side. The two people seemed to have lost all their energy at once, their rickety bodies turned around and slowly left.
"..."
"..."
The air became quiet and silent again.
Gu Mo turned his head and looked at the cold-looking witch, and found that perhaps due to the burst of spiritual power just now, her long hair had fallen down, and the water that bound her hair had gone somewhere.
Under the bright moonlight, the black and textured waist-length hair seemed to be emitting light.
Seeing that Kikyo didn't move for a long time, he hesitated for a moment, coughed slightly, causing the miko's attention to turn slightly, and then pointed in a certain direction on the other side of the woods.
Kikyo with a calm face looked in the direction he indicated, and then the cold and calm look on her face suddenly disappeared, replaced by complete surprise——
"X-Xiaoye? How could you..."
Behind a big tree, the dumb little girl realized belatedly that she had been exposed. A look of fear immediately appeared on her face. Faced with the witch calling her name, she subconsciously took a step back in fear. .
She was a child after all, and the scenes that had just happened were beyond her imagination.
And she has never seen such a terrifying miko sister——
His expression was so cold, and the feeling was so depressing. It was completely different from the gentleness and kindness in the past, making her feel extremely strange.
"..."
"..."
Seeing the little girl's instinctive fearful expression and retreating movements, Kikyo's expression suddenly became slightly gloomy, and the steps she was about to walk over subconsciously stopped.
"I'm sorry, I scared you..." she said softly, her tone full of apology.
After a pause, the miko didn't seem to know what to say.
She was silent for a moment, and then looked at the ground not far away. There were a few tiny fragments of magical artifacts lying there quietly. The old monk was not able to take them all away. What just happened and what the old monk said seemed to appear before her eyes again.
She lowered her eyes slightly and said calmly: "Let's go."
…
…
The long nightclub has passed, and the sun will always rise as usual.
Among the unknown barren mountains and ridges, on a rocky beach also close to the river, a square picnic cloth with a printed pattern was spread out on the flat open space, and several people sat on it and ate. , in the center of the picnic cloth were placed a variety of ready-to-eat snacks, such as chips and mineral water bottles.
The painting style seems out of place for this era, and there is even a women's bicycle parked next to it.
Wearing a sailor uniform and a dark blue pleated skirt, the girl standing next to the bicycle looked at Inuyasha and Master Maitreya sitting on the picnic cloth with the old gods still there, and couldn't help shouting: "Hey! Don't sit there Hey, now that you’ve finished eating, hurry up and leave, we have to save the souls of those girls!”
"Where can I go to save you..." Inuyasha held his tattered and rusty demon sword and looked at Higurashi Kagome angrily, "I chased the demons all night last night, and they lost them all at once. There is no trace...and this matter will not be of any benefit to us, and we will not get the fragments of the Shikon Tama."
"Hey! Are you afraid of trouble?"
Higurashi Kagome's eyes widened. This person is here again. He wants the fragments of the Shikon Jade. If he doesn't have the fragments, he won't want to do anything.
"We have already chased them here. At least we know the direction in which those monsters are heading. Why don't we just keep looking for them? They might be around here..."
The girl from the time and space five hundred years later was not willing to give up. She stood full of energy and looked around, looking for directions that might contain evil spirits. Last night, a group of them stayed overnight in a town. A wealthy family in that town took them in and asked them to help eliminate the demon.
Because it is said that a monster has recently appeared that will take away the soul of a dead girl, and the daughter of that family also happened to die at a young age, so I want to ask them to take action.
While waiting until late at night, they did see the monster that came to collect the souls of the dead. It seemed to be a very weak and weak monster, and was killed by Inuyasha with a single blow.
I originally thought that the matter would end here, but I didn't expect that there were more than one, and there were more outside, flying across the sky with the light of the dead souls... As a result, they chased them all night, all the way here.
"Eh? There are people in front of you, how about we ask them?"
Higurashi Kagome, who was looking around, suddenly brightened up and pointed forward.
Everyone looked around and saw two figures appearing at the end of the winding road along the river bank, which seemed to be two wandering monks. The young monk supported the old monk and was walking towards this side with a graceful step.
