Chapter 36: Ninety-Nine Toads 1
"Hurry up, Inuyasha, you won't be able to reach the next village before the night. β
Walking in front with Kagome, the Hakurei witch with a pseudonym turned around with a smile and shouted to the back.
More than ten meters behind him, a silver-haired young half-demon wearing a fiery red fire rat fur gritted his teeth and walked forward, and with each step, a small pit was left on the ground, which was slower than the pace of ordinary people, which was very different from the light and agile steps in the past.
"It's verbose, I see!" replied angrily, and Inuyasha sped up and walked forward with hatred.
"Oh, then please keep up the good work!" was just trying to tease him, and the Witch naturally turned around when the goal was achieved.
"Master Inuyasha, do you believe that woman is really fine? I have never heard of such a way of cultivation after walking so many places downstream. Hidden in Inuyasha's hair, Flea asked worriedly.
"It's okay. Resisting the restraint of double gravity on the surface of the body, Inuyasha took another step with difficulty, large drops of sweat falling from his forehead, and his face was rare and solemn, "Although that witch is annoying, I believe that she will not lie to me in this kind of thing!"
"Don't bother to lie to me, you've seen it, the woman wielded the knife that broke her iron teeth. β
"As long as I can gain more powerful strength, just a little cultivation will not stump me. Because of the sudden distraction of the speech, the right knee suddenly heavily, almost kneeling, but fortunately, the reaction was fast, Inuyasha stabilized his body in time, and continued to walk forward.
On his hands and feet, four black rings engraved with gravitational runes were firmly bound to them.
The gravity rings made by fireworks can release one to five times the gravity of each ring, and when the four are stacked together, they can release up to twenty times the gravity binding.
"Then come on, Master Inuyasha. "Stygian cheers for Inuyasha.
"By the way, Grandpa Styka, can you tell me where you ran when I fought that shrine maiden just now?"
"This, down thereβ" Styka began to squeak.
"You're definitely running away again!" Inuyasha snorted coldly, rolling his eyes in annoyance.
The road is still ahead.
"Miss Miko, is it okay to cultivate like this? Inuyasha looks like it's hard. Kagome glanced back with some concern, and asked the fireworks who were crouching down to pick a herb.
"Don't worry about him. Carefully picking the fruit of the golden flame grass in front of him and putting it into a small jade box, Hanako breathed a sigh of relief and stood up with a happy face, "That guy has the blood of a big monster, and his physique is very different from that of ordinary humans, this level of cultivation will not let him be hurt by anything, but will gradually stimulate his potential." β
"Yes!" Kagome let out a faint sigh of relief.
"You really care about that guy!" Hanabi looked at Kagome meaningfully.
"Not really!" Kagome blushed sharply.
"Huh!"
......
As Hanabi said, the inhuman youkai physique has made Inuyasha adapt to twice the gravity in half a day.
Just before nightfall, the group of three came to a small village.
The strange visitors attracted the attention of the villagers, especially Inuyasha, whose alien identity with silver ears and silver hair made many villagers whisper.
"Look at the man's ears. β
"It's scary, it's a youkai...!"
"Why is there a ........?"
Inuyasha had long been accustomed to this situation, and snorted coldly, hugged his head and looked at the sky without saying a word.
The indifferent and rude behavior made the villagers subconsciously a little afraid, but fortunately, the fireworks dressed as witches were on the side, and everyone was not overly afraid, but continued to watch the side.
Hanabi and Kagome stood at the entrance of the village with smiles on their faces.
Soon, an old man with pale hair and a bun walked out of the crowd with a cane.
From the surrounding whispers, the fireworks got the identity of the old man, the head of this village.
"Welcome, shrine maiden-sama. The old man came to Hanabi with a cane and bowed.
In this era of chaos of demons and monsters, the identities of witches and monks are very respected.
"The old man is the head of this village, Yoshida, don't you know what happened to the shrine maiden-sama in this village?"
"I'm a shrine maiden at Hakurei Shrine in Gensokyo, and I have something to go to Shimono Country, these two are my companions, Kagome and Inuyasha, and I want to borrow a night in the village tonight, and I ask the old man to help, and I'll pay you. Hanabi opened his mouth and made up a set of words.
"It's the honor of the village that the shrine maiden wants to borrow from this village, how can you ask the shrine maiden to be rewarded, and tonight I will ask the shrine maiden and your companions to rest in the old man's house. Yoshida hurriedly shook his head, his old face with the wrinkles of the gully class full of persistence.
"Is that so?" Hanabi hesitated, "then thank you for the kindness of the old man, so let's wait for a short rest, if there are any unwell patients in the village who can come to me for treatment." β
"Really!" Yoshida's age-spotted face showed joy and hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you so much." β
In ancient societies where civilization was not yet fully civilized and knowledge was only in the hands of a few, a small wind and cold could take a person's life, and life was as fragile as floating.
Therefore, for the villagers of ancient Japan, illness was a test of life and death, and most of them had to survive on their own. The reason why shrine maidens and monks are so respected is that in addition to their ability to exorcise demons, they also have some medical methods.
Perhaps because of Hanabi's promise, the next reception seemed very warm.
After entering the village chief's house, the village chief quickly arranged for someone to bring tea and food.
Sweets are precious to this era, and were introduced to Japan by Portuguese missionaries at the end of the Muromachi shogunate 50 years ago, as well as other sweets.
Steaming rice was served, miso soup and various dishes were neatly arranged, and many villagers brought their game from home.
Hanabi is not polite, and a rather hearty dinner is eaten.
After a short rest, she began to receive villagers who were feeling unwell at the village chief's home.
Kagome gave her a hand on the side.
Most of the diseases are chronic diseases caused by overwork and unclean diet, and many people's bodies have even reached the point where the oil well lamp is dry, and ordinary patients are treated with existing herbs.
Some special conditions are solved by relying on spiritual power to exert various pure charms.
After about two hours of busy work, I finally finished treating all the people who came.
