Chapter 016: Kikyo
"Ronin?" whispered, and the shrine maiden looked at the two of them as they approached.
"Mikome-sama......"
At this time, several men in the prime of life came to the beach with weapons in their hands.
The middle-aged man in the village obviously also got the news that there was an outsider, and when he didn't know whether he was friend or foe, he naturally didn't feel at ease and came to take a look.
"Oh ~ here...... It's strange......" There was a weak voice, Kenshin was lying on Helian Feng's back at the moment, looking at the villagers around him who were looking at him curiously, Kenshin was also curious to look at the villagers, because these villagers actually had some wing-like things on their elbows......
However, when his gaze inadvertently skimmed over Helian Feng, a trace of doubt always flashed in the depths of Jian Xin's eyes.
"It's a great route...... If you encounter something strange, you will be amazed for the rest of your life......" Helian Feng laughed.
The laughter of the two people as if no one was next to them suddenly made the residents of Jiaya Island scratch their heads, but as the two approached, the residents also discovered the abnormality on Kenshin's body.
"Hey...... Kohler...... That one...... Isn't it a symptom of the mad tree's poisoning?" a man asked the young man in the lead.
The man addressed as Kohler also frowned.
"Shout~Everyone~~" As if he was very familiar with them, Helian Feng greeted the people around him with a smile and walked straight in the direction of the witch.
"Click!!" A big sword lay in front of Helian Feng, who spread out his hand to indicate that he had no weapon, and then looked at the young man who was blocking him with a sharp sword.
As far as the fast head is concerned, I'm afraid that Helian Feng and Kenshin are not as big as the other party combined, and it is no exaggeration to say that this young man is a copy of Governor Arnold.
"Stop! outsider!" Kohler narrowed his eyes dangerously, looking at Helian Feng, who seemed to care nothing about his sword.
"Hey, hey~~ Can't you see this?" Swinging his head helplessly, Helian Feng gently pushed away the opponent's sword with his fingers......
"Of course I'm here to see a doctor......" After speaking, Helian Feng tilted his head slightly, looked at Jian Xin behind him, and smiled mischievously: "Jian Xin, sue you for good news and bad news......"
"What?" Kenshin smiled absentmindedly.
"The bad news is ......" raised an eyebrow, and Helian Feng looked at the muscular youth......
"The villagers here don't seem to be very friendly......"
Kenshin narrowed his eyes slightly and chuckled, "I can see that...... What's the good news?"
"Good news......" Helian Feng nodded, and his eyes fell on the witch......
"There's a bellflower in the ...... You're never going to die......"
"!!!" The dark eyes were like autumn water rippling in the microwave, and the witch turned her gaze from Kenshin to Helian Feng's body.
"Don't be rude to Mikoma-sama!!"
I heard that Helian Feng directly called the witch by her name! Although I don't know how the other party found out, Kohler's face suddenly changed! With a wave of the sword in his hand, he was going to teach Helian Feng a lesson!
Of course, the big sword that slashed at Helian Feng was slapped, and Kohler just wanted to teach Helian Feng a lesson, and he didn't want to make blood in front of the witch.
"......" Helian Feng's eyes suddenly narrowed, and his glasses reflected a heroic light!
Quick!
"Po~~~"
A strange sound! A translucent halo of light blocked between Helian Feng and Kohler! The force that Kohler slapped on it was immediately bounced back, and Kohler was also shocked back a few steps.
"Humph!"
And Helian Feng snorted coldly......
The next moment, that halo had been cut off by the back-bladed knife in Helian Feng's hand!
"Don't move my knife casually......" Kenshin smiled bitterly, just now he wanted to stop it, but now his body really can't move a finger.
"Enchantment?...... I was just...... It's just a little too big......" Helian Feng smiled and accurately sent the blade in his hand into Kenshin's scabbard.
It turned out that just at the moment when Kohler's sword was slapped, Helian Feng had already pulled out Kenshin's counterblade from Kenshin's waist and swung a knife at Kohler, but the attack of the two was blocked by Kikyo's enchantment.
"I said......" Helian Feng looked back at Kohler, whose face was blue and red.
"Although I have a smile on my face...... But that doesn't mean I'm not in a hurry...... Please hurry up and help my friend heal......" His eyes turned to Kikyo, who was still standing there, motionless, like a jade statue.
"As for the cost of treatment...... We'll talk about that later......"
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
The whole scene fell into a strange silence, no one spoke, and the swift knife of Helian Feng just now made the villagers nervous.
"Follow me ......" There seemed to be a soothing magic in the voice, and Kikyo's soft words suddenly made the surrounding villagers feel extremely peaceful.
With that, Kikyo turned and left, his sleeves fluttering......
Helian Feng also breathed a sigh of relief, and followed with Kenshin on his back.
Only Kohler, with a complicated face, remained.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Kikyo's house is on the edge of the village, a very simple hut.
Stepping inside, compared with the simple interior decoration, the first thing that left an impression on Helian Feng was the faint fragrance of medicine, which made people suddenly feel clear-headed, but it was a pity that Helian Feng's research on drugs only stayed at Cheng DΓΉ of [Bone-setting Wine] and [Dragon Tiger Oil], and he couldn't tell what kind of drug smelled like it.
"Put him here......" gently spread the mat on the ground, and Kikyo sat quietly on his knees.
"Good~"
Helian Feng naturally didn't hesitate, and gently put the sword heart on the mat.
"Miko-sama......" The voice came from outside, Helian Feng had a good memory, it was Kohler's voice.
"Mr. Kohler, excuse me, I can handle it myself......" took out a few herbs and some medicine utensils from the small cabinet on the side, and Kikyo responded lightly.
Kohler outside fell silent, and after a while, Helian Feng heard Kohler's footsteps leaving.
"You can always get people's respect......" Helian Feng smiled, and sat cross-legged opposite Kikyo directly, looking at the shrine maiden in front of him.
After the preliminary processing of the medicinal herbs was completed, the bellflower raised his head, and his autumn-like eyes looked at Helian Feng calmly.
"I need to know where you're coming from......"
"Of course...... Honesty is the foundation of a newcomer......" shrugged his shoulders, and Helian Feng said what he had explained to Kenshin before, and there was nothing to hide.
Quietly listening to Helian Feng's explanation, the bellflower did not stop in his hand, taking it inside and applying it externally, and after a while, the sword heart was tightly wrapped.
"The toxin has gone deep, and it will take three days to clear ......" Seeing Kenshin fall asleep, Kikyo elegantly put away the medicinal materials and medicinal utensils one by one.
"Thank you so much!!" Helian Feng suddenly clasped his hands!!
"And ......," Helian Feng smiled slightly......
"How about joining us?"
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
He paused slightly, but did not interrupt until all the belongings had been packed. Kikyo stood up and looked at Helian Feng, who was still sitting there.
"When you're healed, you two get out of here......"
Kikyo's words made Helian Feng stunned slightly, but then came to his senses......
yes, if this shrine maiden is really the Kikyo she knows, then I'm afraid ...... I don't even have a goal now...... The goal of living, if you really have any wishes, the most likely, [in the future, I just live day after day, helping the villagers here, and living the life of ordinary people...... such a wish......
"You can't be an ordinary person......" Helian Feng smiled slightly......
Kikyo's eyes suddenly became sharp, but it was only for a moment, and it calmed down again.
What Helian Feng said was the truth, and Kikyo knew this, just like the villagers here now, the reverence for her had made it impossible for him to get an ordinary life here.
"Helian Feng ......" Seeing that the bellflower fell silent, Helian Feng pointed to himself - belated self-introduction.
Then he pointed to Kenshin, who had already fallen asleep......
"Scarlet Village Kenshin...... Now, the two of us are looking for a way back...... Of course...... It doesn't seem like there's any point in going back to you......"
"You know my past well......" Looking at Helian Feng, Kikyo turned and walked to the wall.
"Well...... Let's just say that......" Scratching the back of his head, Helian Feng replied modestly.
"So...... You should know who I am......" Stopped, Kikyo tilted his head slightly, leaving Helian Feng with a delicate side face.
"The most powerful shrine maiden of the Warring States period...... Guarding the Jade ...... of the Four Souls"
"Do you know what the Four Souls are?" The continuous questions made Helian Feng frown slightly, he had only seen it once, and he had only recorded it with his amazing memory, but it was not those who were sophisticated, and his impression of this was vague.
Seeing Helian Feng silent, Kikyo narrowed his eyes slightly......
"Desolate souls, harmonious souls, strange souls, and fortunate souls, in this world, whether it is humans, animals, or plants and trees, all have these four souls, and the four souls are gathered into one soul and lodged in the heart...... Each soul will increase or decrease depending on the actions of the hosts......"
"En~En~~" I don't know if I understand or not, Helian Feng just nodded there.
"I heard that you are full of four souls?" Thinking of something, Helian Feng looked at Kikyo.
"I am a shrine maiden who guards the Jade of the Four Souls...... Purify the Jade of the Four Souls...... and the monster who wants to snatch the jade of the four souls......"
"I know this......" Helian Feng nodded sternly.
"Even so...... Do you dare to appear in front of me?"
Turn around...... He had already taken out a longbow in his hand, and the arrow that shone with holy light was aimed directly at Helian Feng's heart.
The cold eyes stared at Helian Feng quietly......
"The ...... of the Dead"
Helian Feng's pupils shrank sharply, pushed his eyes, and tilted his head with a smile: "I don't know what you're talking about......
"You should have found out for yourself...... Not even a heart...... Do you still think ...... Are you human?"
"Heart?" Helian Feng laughed, his hand lightly covering his chest......
"Oops~ I thought it was an illusion~ I didn't expect it to be really gone~~~" Stick out your tongue~~ Sell cute~~~
"Probably...... Not long ago...... Shatter it......"
