Chapter 140: Is There Such a Life (4)

- [Five years have passed in the blink of an eye, and fourteen-year-old Nagato Tsuruko is ready to take over the Wasina Shrine from the hands of the Wase shrine maiden.] Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but before that, Nagato Tsuruko still needs to complete a test of witches. The content of the test is that she has to drive away a toad monster that has recently wandered to the mountains near Wase Village without using the power of the dog god. Fourteen-year-old Nagato Tsuruko already possessed very strong spiritual powers, and the Wasina shrine maiden had great confidence in her. However, Nagato Tsuruko had no experience in driving out youkai on her own, so she couldn't help but be a little nervous before leaving. From watching Nagato Tsuruko grow up at the age of six, to now fourteen years old, eight years ago, this dog god squatting in front of the shrine is very familiar with some of Nagato Tsuruko's unknown small movements. For example, when you are nervous, you will clean the garden in front of the shrine the night after. 】

- ["I heard you're going down tomorrow?" Inuyasha leaned on the back of his head and made it behind Nagato Tsuruko, and before he knew it, the dead imp had grown to the height of his neck. Eight years is only a small part of a long life for Inugami, and it passes in a hurry. But what happened in eight years, like an illusion, appeared yesterday, and as long as you think about it, you can remember it. 】

- "Hmm."] ”】

- "Maybe I'll die, that toad spirit is not easy to deal with, even if it's me, it will take a lot of effort."] Inuyasha then emphasized, "Of course, it's just a matter of effort, and Uncle Ben won't get hurt." ”】

- [Nagato Tsuruko stopped and looked sideways.] Perhaps eight years is really short for Inugami, as a human Nagato Tsuruko will soon grow bigger, and then grow old like Waseda, and then look for a suitable heir like her, and then the new trainee shrine maiden will become the new master of Inugami with her own help. Inuyasha will guard the shrine from generation to generation, and the shrine maidens will be replaced one after another. 】

Inuyasha snorted softly, "Are you really scared? Then come and beg me! I have a way to keep the dead old woman from knowing, and then quietly help you! But explain in advance, it's okay for me to help you, but you have to promise me one condition, take off the necklace around my neck." ”】

- [Nagato Tsuruko tilted his head and thought for a moment, then threw the broom in his hand forward, and the inugami boy of the shrine flew out without saying a word, and came back with the broom in his mouth.] Nagato Tsuruko took the broom, stroked Inuyasha's head a few times, and said indifferently, "I can, don't worry." ”】

- ["Who cares about you!!Dead imp!Don't think I'm that stupid dog!!" Inuyasha was furious, and he couldn't understand why he would go and bring back something thrown by Nagato Tsuruko every time. Yes, every time!"I don't care about you anymore!Dead imp, you fend for yourself!It's better if you die, so I can be free again!" Inuyasha knew that he couldn't resist Nagato Tsuruko's 'sit down' spell, and finally left in anger. 】

- [All night, Inuyasha did not appear.] Nagato Tsuruko, as usual, began to do the day's homework after accompanying the Wasina shrine maiden for dinner. In the middle of the night, there was a strange noise outside Nagato Tsuruko's bedroom, and when she opened the door, she saw a talisman placed in the corridor outside the bedroom. Nagato Tsuruko picked up the amulet, knowing that it had been sent by Inuyasha secretly, so he smiled, and then returned to the bedroom to sit quietly and recuperate. Nagato Tsuruko felt that his master, Wasa Shrine Maiden, had also passed away one day at this time, so it was actually a good thing to take this kind of test early while Wase Shrine Maiden was still alive. If she fails the test, it proves that she still doesn't have the ability to take over the shrine after all, and if she can return, then she can continue to cultivate under the guidance of the Wasina shrine maiden. If she doesn't come back, Wasina Miko still has time to find and train a new successor. 】

――[Before dawn, Nagato Tsuruko quietly left the shrine.] Before leaving Wase Village, she actually went to Nagato's house, but she watched from a distance, and it wasn't until Nagato's gate opened and someone came out that Nagato Tsuruko really left. 】

- [After leaving Wase Village, Nagato Tsuruko passed by a valley and saw a small stream flowing nearby, so she planned to rest. At this moment there was a crying sound from behind a layer of rocks in the creek, a child of twelve or thirteen years old. 】

- ["What happened?"]

- ["My brother was captured by the youkai, I am very sad, I wish I could take the youkai with my own hands, but there is nothing I can do, what can I do but cry here secretly?"The child was grief-stricken, and it seemed that he had been crying for some time. Nagato Tsuruko guessed that the monster in the child's mouth was probably the one that the Wasina witch let her exorcise, so she continued to inquire and found that it was indeed the case. 】

- [This toad spirit likes to wear a red robe, calls himself a 'red-clothed mage', and catches young boys everywhere he goes. The 'red-clothed mage' believed that the child's qi and blood were the key to immortality, so the captured boy was kept in captivity with secret methods, and the boy was dressed in red clothes on a specific day, and then he continued his life against the sky. When these boys lose their value, they will be eaten in the end. So far, it has been heard that more than 13 children have died at the hands of the 'cardinal mage'. 】

- ["I'm a trainee shrine maiden at Wasedi Shrine.,I'm here to get the 'Cardinal Mage' this time.,If you know where the 'Cardinal Mage' is, tell me, so as not to hurt more people" Nagato Tsuruko directly expressed his intention. 】

- [The crying boy saw that Nagato Tsuruko was about the same age as himself, so he naturally didn't believe that she could deal with it, and sighed, "I don't want more people to be hurt.] My brother may have been captured, but if he died, it would be worth it to be able to exchange for peace in the village. The 'Cardinal Mage' is too powerful to deal with. ”】

- [Nagato Tsuruko directly took off the wooden bow, put on a feather arrow, and shot towards the big tree ten zhang away.] She moved quickly, shooting three feathered arrows in a row. The arrow was nailed directly to the trunk of the tree, but it was pinned to the armpit of a climbing tanuki and to the top of its head. The tanuki was imprisoned by the feathered arrows and could not move, and showed a frightened expression. Nagato Tsuruko said slowly: "Don't worry, I have the ability to protect myself." ”】

- [This kid saw Nagato's crane archery magic, and knew that he had met someone with real skills.] He also hoped that someone would be able to ask for the 'red-clothed mage', so he hurriedly told the 'red-clothed mage' where he was hiding, and told Nagato Tsuruko that the middle of the night was the weakest time for the 'red-clothed mage'. 】
