Cong Yunya's seal will still be in place for some time.
If we were to speculate based on the original schedule, at least Coral would have to join the protagonist group. Inuyasha had defeated the Dragon Bone Spirit and learned what happened after Baku-ryu Baku, so there shouldn't be much of a problem in holding on for another month or two... Gu Mo is not too worried, besides, the seal can be reinforced.
There is still time.
In the original plot, this magic sword can cause chaos mainly because no one in the modern world knows about it and cannot recognize it. Naturally, they will not know its true appearance and the harm it may cause, let alone that its seal is about to expire. ...No one took care of it at all, and no one renewed it. They just let the magic sword be unsealed.
Gu Mo, who knew all of this, could not just watch this happen.
He took it in his hand, closed the door of the utility room, and walked out quietly. He was originally planning to leave just like that, but when he passed Grandpa Higurashi's room, he thought for a moment, looked at the magic sword he was about to take away, and then reached out and knocked on the door gently.
Not long after, Grandpa Higurashi opened the door to the room.
The old man rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked out the door with a puzzled look. After all, it was already this time, who else would knock on the door.
When he found out that it was the young man again, the old man's face suddenly dropped. Is there something wrong with this young man? I had told him before that it was already very late and everyone had to rest. Let's He didn't want to disturb others... It would be better now. He might as well just knock on the door and wake him up? !
But before the old man could speak with a sullen face, the young man had already taken the lead in initiating the topic——
"Old man, I would like to ask, how can I buy this sword?"
"...This sword?"
The old man was stunned for a moment and looked at the simple straight knife in the other person's raised hand. Then he realized, isn't this something he kept in the storage room? That was the sword dug out of the well by the ancestors of the Higurashi family. It is said that it is the original body of the famous Amancongyun Sword, and it is the artifact obtained by Su Zhanwu Zun by killing the Yamata no Orochi!
Of course, even though he said that, the old man himself didn’t believe it, and he also didn’t think there was anything in this kind of thing that couldn’t be sold... Although it was something passed down from ancestors, there were so many of these things, like kappa withered palms and the like.
He has also been worried about how to deal with these things that are said to be bluffing, but in fact no one wants them. Now that someone finally wants to ask for them, they will naturally not refuse to agree.
"Ahem, you are talking about this, let me tell you, this sword is an ancestral treasure of our Higurashi family. It is said to be one of the three artifacts. It is the legendary Kusanagi sword. In principle, it is not for sale to the outside world..."
Grandpa Higurashi pretended to cough and spoke with a serious face, but his expression very vividly reflected his true thoughts of "I have to pay more."
"That's right. Could you please tell me the number..."
Gu Mo showed a hearty smile and said in a tone that said he was not short of money, and inexplicably revealed the feeling that people are stupid and have too much money.
Higurashi Kagome and the others may know about this later, but since she bought it with money and aboveboard, the ownership of the Congyunya naturally belongs to her. Naturally, she doesn’t have to worry about being accused of stealing from her house. When using it, They all felt guilty.
Well, as for if I use this sword to cause them any trouble in the future, and I happen to find out that I bought this magic sword from Higurashi Kagome's house with money... I hope their mentality will be better.
He smiled heartily, but an old man opposite had just quoted a price he thought was high. Seeing his look, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart - Could it be that he had quoted a low price? Otherwise, why would this young man People smile so happily?
…………
After a few minutes.
"Thank you for your patronage. Thank you for your patronage. Welcome to visit again. Come and sit down when you have time..."
Standing at the entrance, Grandpa Higurashi beamed with joy and happily sent this important customer out. He also waved to him, telling him that if there was anything he liked, he could come and buy it in the future. This showed that Higurashi Shrine has a long tradition. The shrine has stood here since the Warring States Period five hundred years ago and has survived several dynasties.
A large shrine with such a long heritage and profound heritage definitely has many genuine antiquities, which are guaranteed to satisfy him.
"Okay, okay, I will come again next time..."
Gu Mo also nodded repeatedly. If there were any good things in the other party's house, he would definitely come to visit again.
At the same time, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart. The Higurashi Shrine was built here since the Warring States Period five hundred years ago. No matter how you look at it, it could only be built by Higurashi Kagome who returned to the Warring States Period... This is It involves a very interesting issue.
So, Higurashi Kagome is actually...her own ancestor?
With such thoughts in mind, Gu Mo turned around and left Higurashi's house, and the old man waved cheerfully, and then reluctantly closed the entrance door. His whole body became excited. This was really a big deal, compared to what he had done before. The Shikon no Jade souvenirs that can't be sold even if you talk about it are much better.
The old man was so happy, and his joy was so pure, but he didn't think about a problem at all. The transaction itself seemed a bit strange.
The time and place were not suitable, and what happened was very strange... But of course he would not have thought of this. He was immersed in the big deal he had just completed, and when he touched the money in his pocket, he felt special Be grounded and won't think about anything else at all.
"I wonder if we can communicate... It should be negotiable, right?"
As Gu Mo walked, he held the magic sword in his hand and examined it. Because of the seal, he could not see the specific attributes for the time being and could not use it.
It’s not just the wooden sheath that has spirit, even Cong Yunya itself has self-awareness. As one of the three domineering canine generals who rely on it to dominate the world, it is different from the other two fang swords. It is not created by the canine sword. It was made from the general's own fangs, but it was a demonic sword that existed from a long time ago.
There are ancient evil spirits lodged among them, which are extremely powerful, but the risk is equal to the power.
However, Gu Mo, who has used Tie Suiya once, naturally knows what the concepts of the demon sword in this world are. This is much more powerful than the shameful artifact in the previous world. It is like a noble phantom, which can make the followers' The combat effectiveness increases exponentially.
With a player's mentality, he will naturally not give up this Congyun Fang - as for risks, at his current level, the high-level rewards with huge benefits in each copy are basically risky, unless he is willing to play by the rules. , only brush the map of the corresponding level, choose the equipment skills of the corresponding level and other benefits...
——Otherwise, this situation will always have to be faced.
Before returning to the main hall of the shrine, Gu Mo saw that under the starry night, her body seemed to be emitting bright light. For a moment, she didn't know whether it was the bright moon that illuminated her, or she illuminated the moon's witch.
This cold figure was standing in front of the sacred tree, quietly looking at this tree of times that seemed to be the same between five hundred years ago and five hundred years later.
The spring breeze and I are both passers-by, you carry the autumn water to embrace the stars...
Gu Mo stopped and looked at the scene in front of him quietly. Such a sentence appeared in his mind inexplicably, and then he sighed softly. Although he was not very willing to admit it, for a witch at present, he might A passer-by indeed.
There is nothing too special about them, they are only traveling together because of the Jade Fragments of the Four Souls.
That's the case for the time being, but it's really distressing... Speaking of which, how do I get rid of the impression that I'm not special?
While he was meditating like this, the witch under the tree over there also turned her head and asked calmly: "Is this...the era you are in?"
Although her tone was the same as before, as if there were no disturbances, Gu Mo still felt that he heard a rare hesitation and doubt in her tone, as if it was a feeling of uncertainty. He looked at the ancestral hall located at the diagonal corner of the main hall, then looked away and shook his head:
"This is Miss Higurashi's era, not my era. Even from a time perspective, my era is much later. After all, it is in the next century."
"I see……"
The miko nodded slightly. She couldn't understand the next century, but she still understood the general meaning.
Looking back at the Age Tree that seemed to never change, and then at the ancestral hall not far away, Kikyo then frowned and looked at the surrounding environment... The Godly Tree is here, and the Bone-Eating Well is not far away. place, but the environment is completely different.
She actually understood the reason for this, but she still felt it was very strange intuitively, and she couldn't recognize it as the forest she was once familiar with.
"Would you like to go out and take a look?" Gu Mo's eyes lit up, and then he made a considerate suggestion, "This land belongs to Higurashi Shrine. Although it is quite big, it is already there." It's late at night, so it seems very deserted, and outside is the real scene of the world five hundred years from now..."
He pointed at the tall torii gate placed in front of the entrance stairs in the distance. If you go down from there, you will see a long and spacious staircase, and then down to the street, and outside is the urban area of Tokyo...
It's just that the environment of the shrine is relatively quiet, and it is surrounded by tall trees. Once you enter here, it is indeed difficult to see the city outside... That said, in Tokyo, where land is precious, there is such a large shrine, covering such an area. Huge, in fact Higurashi Kagome is also a potential rich woman.
"Should we go over there and take a look?"
Kikyo looked in the direction pointed by Gu Mo, thought for a moment, and nodded lightly: "...Let's go and have a look."
Nothing is more convincing than the facts. She originally wanted to confirm to the other party about traveling through time and space... So now, since she has come to this completely different world in person, she naturally wants to take a look.
Just as she was about to move, the witch looked naturally towards the simple straight knife in the opponent's hand, as if she had noticed something: "Wait a minute, this in your hand is..."
"Oh, um, didn't I use that iron broken tooth before?"
Gu Mo pretended to be nonchalant and handed the demon sword directly to the witch for inspection. It happened that he also wanted to ask the witch for help. "In terms of the experience of using it, I think the demon sword is really good. So it was necessary to get one myself, so I took this opportunity to get one..."
The witch frowned slightly. Is this the reason?
But why do you make it sound as if the demon sword is something on the street, and you can just pick one up and bring it back if you want it?
She reached out and gently took the simple-style straight knife, closed her eyes for a moment, and used her spiritual power to invade it and try to explore it. The next moment, she suddenly opened her eyes wide in surprise, and her spiritual power was rebounded back. What struck back was an aura that was extremely violent, evil and vicious.
Faintly, the roar of some ancient monster seemed to ring in her ears, and a collapsed world seemed to emerge before her eyes, where the sky was covered in darkness, the earth rotted, and everyone died of despair.
"This... what exactly is this demon sword..."
The miko could not maintain her usual composure. She looked at the simple straight knife in her hand in astonishment.
"Cong Yunya——" Gu Mo shrugged and said casually, "That's the name. You should have heard of it, platycodon."
"Cong Yunya...it turns out to be it, how did you find it?" A hint of relief appeared in the witch's eyes. Was it this famous demon sword? "When I was still practicing, I heard about its deeds. It was a terrible magic sword with the power of curse, but it completely disappeared two hundred years ago..."
"Actually, that was seven hundred years ago." Gu Mo added, "If calculated from the current era, it has disappeared for seven hundred years."
"Is it sealed? No wonder, but the power of the seal seems to be exhausted..."
After calming down, Kikyo had already noticed the struggle between the weapon and the wooden sheath, but she also saw the problem at a glance. She turned her eyes and glanced at the casual guy opposite: "The power of this knife is very terrifying, you Do you have the confidence to suppress it?”
"Let's take a look first. If it doesn't work, then consider other methods. For example, Platycodon, you can re-strengthen its seal..." Gu Mo replied calmly.
He is not an Inu General, with that kind of super demon power, but maybe he can let Nine Tails suppress this magic sword, or see if he can use the Nine-Nine Weapon to let Shiro Viper during the activation of the skill. Come and leverage the power of the magic sword to bypass the ancient evil spirits inside.
If that doesn't work, let Kikyo re-strengthen the seal and suppress this thing.
Anyway, it's the best if you can use it. If you can't use it, you won't suffer any loss. After all, this high-end equipment still belongs to you. Once you get it, you have already earned it.
"That's fine..." The witch thought for a moment, then nodded gently. She actually wanted to be safer, for example, to directly seal this magic sword. There is no need to take risks and try to control this kind of evil thing, but After thinking about it, I still didn’t say that.
"Let's go and take a look at the world of this era... I guarantee you will be surprised, Kikyo."
Gu Mo took back the magic sword and said with a smile.
Because whether it is Congyun Ya itself or its scabbard, both are spiritual things. And items with complete self-awareness, even if they are defined as props, cannot be stored in the inventory. I don’t know whether the system is to protect the normal warehouse function, or to prevent players from cheating on card bugs.
While talking, the two came to the torii gate.
In fact, you don’t even need to go out to see the night view of the city outside. After all, Higurashi Shrine is located on a relatively high ground. When you are inside, it is just because there are woods all around that block your view. But when you are at the torii, the view is It suddenly became more open.
It was the scene of endless traffic and thousands of lights. In the dark night, the flashing lights outlined the outline of the city. They may come from vehicles, street lights, billboards and neon lights on the roadside, and those The glass curtain walls of high-rise buildings reflect light, and huge screens play advertisements.
Standing under the torii, watching this scene from a distance, the miko felt a little lost.
Is this... the world five hundred years from now?
The unimaginable prosperity, unimaginable splendor, and how dense and huge the city was, even though it was only the tip of the iceberg, still made her find it unbelievable.
"Um...how many people are there here?" She was inevitably a little distracted. She subconsciously looked at the person beside her, only to find that this person looked familiar.
"In this year, it should be...well, I don't know the exact number of people, but there should be between 20 and 30 million people in the Tokyo metropolitan area."
Gu Mo thought about it, but he didn't know the specific data in this area. He could only give such an uncertain answer based on some vague impressions. He didn't know how big the difference was and whether it was right or wrong. But it was obvious that this answer was enough to shock the witch.
"Twenty to thirty million people..."
As she muttered to herself, the miko opened her eyes slightly, covered her mouth with her sleeves, and looked in that direction again in shock.
This scene is really... super rare!
It’s a pity that I didn’t bring a camera! Gu Mo looked at Platycodon grandiflorum's performance and regretted that he didn't even seize the opportunity to capture the picture... However, the game record of the dog system must have accurately captured this scene, and he could play it back later. When he thought about it, he felt Relaxed.
"Let's go down and have a look..."
Gu Mo said, he had some doubts that the witch could stand here until dawn.
There were no words. Kikyo just nodded, but still seemed a little unable to recover. She kept staring at the bright city night view in the distance, and then slowly walked down the stone steps... Looking at her like this, Gu Mo Du was a little worried that she would miss the mark.
But luckily this didn't happen.
Walking all the way to the foot of the stone steps, standing on a street, using the light of the street lamp to look at the quiet and sleeping residential areas around her, the witch seemed to have remembered something, turned back to look at Gu Mo, and asked: "This era... is it already?" Are there no more monsters?”
"No, it's just that it's not like the Warring States Period where wars were chaotic, wild souls breed, spawning a large number of monsters and monsters, but it doesn't mean that the monsters have disappeared..."
Gu Mo shook his head and denied this statement.
Monsters have always existed in this era and have not disappeared. Whether it is a man-eating mask or a worship of monsters, this is illustrated. It's just that no matter what you say, this era is not like the troubled times five hundred years ago. Dark things, ugly things, and cannibalism have always existed, but at least on the surface, they can maintain a peaceful state of singing and dancing.
Without so many wild souls, naturally there wouldn't be so many monsters. In this scientific and civilized era, the legends of the past... seem to be just legends.
"Okay, Miko-sama, although it's a bit late to say this at this time... but welcome to the world five hundred years from now. Do you need a guide?"
Gu Mo coughed a few times, cleared his throat, and then saluted the witch in a serious manner. Facing her surprised eyes, he recommended himself with a smile.
"..."
"..."
Staring into his eyes and looking at the surrounding city scene, Kikyo hesitated slightly.
