Chapter 135

The bell hung in front of the shrine is used to pray for good fortune on weekdays.

Visitors to the shrine believe that if they shake the bell with devotion, their wishes will be conveyed to the gods through the ringing of the bell.

How much of this authenticity is no longer available, Ao Ling only knows that the big bell that has been soaked in incense for countless years in front of the Taisha has a suppressive and disruptive effect on most of the monsters.

He stretched out his hand and shook the bell that belonged to Kifune Taisha, and the aura of the god Gao Long covered on his body protected him, leaving him completely unaffected by the ringing.

Everyone present heard Ao Ling's extremely gentle-sounding words.

What does the assorted platter mean, none of these people except Ao Ling knows.

But it sounds ...... It's not a good thing after all.

When the Shinto people of Kibune heard the sound of the bell being shaken, they quickly gathered from all over the shrine, and together with Kikyo and Inuyasha, they all looked intently at the inside of the shrine house.

It's just that unlike the calm posture of Ao Ling and Kikyo, the Shinto people of Kibune look a little anxious and uneasy.

The reason Ao Ling understands, because the shrine house enshrines the god card and the shrine of the god of the high dragon.

These two are the most important things in the entire shrine - because they have undergone countless Kifune and Ryujin festivals, and even the god of mourning has been produced.

Although Fu Fushen usually does not appear in front of people, the Fu Fushen who was born from the god card of Gao Longshen and the portable shrine itself has a deep relationship with Gaolongshen.

For the Shinto people of your ship, even the misfortune that happened to those two mourning gods was enough to make them feel ashamed.

So when it became clear that there were youkai gods who had sneaked into the shrine without realizing it, all the monks and shrine maidens who had stayed behind flocked to the shrine and surrounded the Taisha House.

They all waited quietly for the cornered youkai in the house to rush out, and they were all on guard, even if they didn't feel a trace of demonic energy until now.

Three years is enough time for them to entrust their trust to Ao Ling.

The oracle said that the youkai was here, so the youkai must be here.

- Well, that's called ...... Assorted assorted platters of youkai.

And just as the Shintoists thought, the besieged yokai was indeed inside the Taisha House.

There is a very strong aura of soul jade in this Taisha house, and it is obvious that the information he got is not wrong, and the jade of the four souls has always been worshiped by the Guifune Taisha along with the god card of the high dragon god.

It was the aura of this room that was subtly different from what Naraku had felt from the ghost spider's vague memory—this aura was more powerful and heavy than the one in the ghost spider's memory.

Probably because of the long-term worship, the power of the Jade of the Four Souls has become stronger.

This is great news for Naraku.

It's a pity that the Jade of the Four Souls is not here.

Naraku listened to the big bell from outside, and looked around in the Taisha house with the discomfort of being softened by the bell.

- Of course, he wouldn't be stupid enough to move the god card and the shrine of the high dragon god.

He was already an offense to the gods by breaking into the shrine as a youkai, and in the face of this god who has been showing great favor for Kyoto in recent years, Naraku didn't want to provoke it.

As a result, he searched the entire Taisha House and found nothing.

The half-demon had gloomy eyes, and his calm mood became a little fluctuating because of the disturbance of the bell.

The Jade of the Four Souls is not here.

Maybe it was the first to be transferred, or it was someone else's first to take the lead.

In the past three years, Naraku has actually been keeping a few points. Paying attention to Kyoto and the feathered fox, points. The information fed back to the body does not indicate anything unusual between the two.

Naraku wasn't sure if the Jade of the Four Souls had been transferred or if it had been snatched by other youkai first.

After all, there are not a few youkai with hidden abilities, but ordinary youkai don't think of breaking into shrines.

But if you have the temptation of the Jade of the Four Souls, there is nothing that cannot be done.

The big bell outside shook more and more urgently, and the half-demon ears in the shrine shrouded by Gao Long's divine aura began to give birth to a buzzing sound, and as the heart beat and the blood vessels bulged one by one, the blood in the body seemed to be spurting out at this moment.

He took a deep breath and drained the fresh blood pressure that was already pouring up his throat.

It doesn't matter, Naraku thought, if he can't verify it, the people outside always know.

His ugly monster skin twisted and gradually took on the form of a human.

- But even if you have changed into a human form, it still looks terrifying.

The people outside the Taisha House saw that the door of the Taisha House was pulled open from the inside.

The hearts of the monks and shrine maidens have risen to their throats, Kikyo has drawn her bow, and the powerful and purifying Demon Destroying Arrow is ready to be launched.

At that moment, a man in ragged clothes walked out of the room—he looked in very bad condition, with countless hideous and twisted burn marks crawling on his body, and there were no good patches left on his face, his eyes were bloodshot, and the whites of his eyes were full of bright red color.

This appearance made Ao Ling think of the human skin that he burned to ashes.

But it wasn't the skin, he thought, after all, it had been burned to a mass of charcoal.

There was not a trace of demonic energy in that man.

The Shinto people looked at him with a look of hesitation on their faces.

And behind Ao Ling, Kikyo, who was originally going to shoot an arrow in his hand the moment he saw the monster, was even more surprised.

She seemed to hesitate, her brows furrowed slightly, and she murmured uncertainly, "...... Ghost spiders? ”

As soon as the words fell, the man's chaotic eyes turned to Ao Ling—to be precise, at the bellflower behind Ao Ling.

The moment he saw the long-haired shrine maiden, this man with a hideous scar on his face and an originally murderous aura burst out with a very strong sense of love in his eyes - as well as extremely deep longing and tenderness, as well as a heart-stopping crazy desire. Hope.

"Kikyo ......" he called in a low voice, and then his voice stopped abruptly.

He squinted and tried to see the shrine maiden through his bloodshot eyes, but in the next moment, his consciousness was dragged into an abyss.

It's just that the affection contained in his eyes is straightforward and red. The naked one crashed into the eyes of everyone present.

Inuyasha instantly became irritable, bared his teeth in the face of him, and blocked Kikyo behind him.

"Look at it again and gouge out your eyes!" The white-haired half-demon roared angrily.

The man's body shook a little, and when he stood firm and raised his head again, it was as if he had changed someone.

He calmly looked around the Shinto around him, and finally skipped Kikyo and Inuyasha and placed his gaze on Ao Ling.

"It's not the first time we've met." He whispered, his voice not as hoarse as when he called Kikyo before, but as smooth as silk.

Ao Ling didn't answer, he shook the bell again.

Naraku took a deep breath and suppressed the restlessness in her body, "I know that you, who was originally Harumi Abe's domestic dog, ended up being a youkai of the High Dragon Divine Envoy. ”

The people around who didn't know about it, including Kikyo and Inuyasha, all gasped.

They knew that this divine envoy was a great man who existed thousands of years ago, but they would never associate the divine envoy of the high dragon god with Abe Harumi.

And Ao Ling, who was the party concerned, just reached out and touched his face for the straightforward behavior of the man in front of him who pierced him, feeling that it was fortunate that he had not exposed his appearance when he was in and out with King Macang Ye in the same days.

Otherwise, he was from Abe Harumi's family for a while, from Macang Yewang's family for a while, and finally from Gao Longshen's family......

Just thinking about it makes me feel that your circle is so messy.

"You know a lot." Ao Ling pulled out a ball of yellow spring qi from the beast's teeth and chewed it, squinting at the man in front of him, "Since you know, then hurry up and return the jade of the four souls to me, it's very scary if I'm angry." ”

"Jade of the Four Souls......?!" The Great Witch of your ship widened her eyes, she didn't doubt Ao Ling's words at all, she looked at Naraku angrily, and her hands were already beginning to condense a rich aura, "Whether you are a human or a monster, the Jade of the Four Souls can't be taken away from you!" ”

The surrounding monks and shrine maidens also put on a posture.

Kikyo and Inuyasha were also shocked, and when they turned their heads and saw the yellow spring qi in Ao Ling's hand, they were relieved again.

They looked at Ao Ling's serious expression, and out of some weird intuition, they also aimed at the man standing at the door of the Taisha House.

The man didn't feel any nervousness in the face of such a grim form, he just looked at Ao Ling with those bloodshot eyes, and asked repeatedly, "The Jade of the Four Souls?" ”

Kikyo's demon-breaking arrow is ready to go.

"It doesn't matter who you really are." She said, her tone extremely indifferent, "None of the four soul jades can be taken away by you. ”

"Who am I?" The man paused slightly, he was silent for a while, and then little by little, his terrible face was covered with a layer of human skin—his countenance became handsome and elegant, and there was a gentle smile on his face.

"I'm Naraku." He said, "—The Jade of the Four Souls is not in my hands. ”

"Kill you, and you'll know it's not in your hands." Kikyo has never been too lazy to talk about this obviously bad monster, and the demon-breaking arrow in her hand comes out!

And the half-demon standing in front of the Taisha House did not dodge or dodge, allowing Kikyo's demon-breaking arrow to pass through his chest.

Ao Ling sniffed the breath leaking from Naraku's death due to his instant serious injuries and sighed.

"It's points. Body. ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward and carefully bypassed the demon-breaking arrow. The clone rummaged through the corpse for a while, and then looked up at the Guifune Shinto who were looking at him, with a serious face, "The Jade of the Four Souls is not here. ”

The Shintoists immediately panicked, they didn't know that the soul jade was taken out by Ao Ling early this morning, because they didn't know, so they always thought that the soul jade was placed in the shrine.

They were left in the shrine and disappeared - this is undoubtedly a clear indication of their incompetence.

"Maybe it was taken away without us knowing, this youkai ......" Ao Ling was silent for a while, then looked up at the Great Witch of your ship, "This youkai named Naraku should be the same as the feather-clothed fox, inform the onmyoji about this, and tell them the news that the jade of the four souls was taken away by the feather-clothed fox." ”

"Don't be nervous." Ao Ling reassured the Shintoists, "I will take back the Jade of the Four Souls." ”

The Great Witch of the Noble Ship took a deep breath and tried to calm herself, and in the face of the calm posture of the divine envoy in front of her, she was somewhat appeased.

"I see, Divine Messenger, you ......"

"I'm going straight to the feathered fox with Kikyo and Inuyasha." Ao Ling burned the body of the monster with a fire talisman, and opened his eyes with a serious face and said nonsense, "Naraku took the jade of the four souls, and he will definitely give it to the feathered fox." ”

The Great Shrine Maiden nodded, and led the Shinto to leave the shrine in a hurry.

Soon after they left, the barrier that shrouded Kifune Taisha became weaker and weaker.

Since the Jade of the Four Souls is no longer here, there is naturally no need for this enchantment, which has consumed a lot of manpower and material resources, to continue to maintain it.

When there was no longer a sound of people around, Ao Ling turned his head to look at the bellflower and Inuyasha who were left, sat on the incense box, and felt a cloud of yellow spring qi.

"Ling, the soul jade is still in your hands, right?" Kikyo looked at his graceful posture and sighed, if it weren't for that yellow spring breath, she would have almost taken it seriously.

"yes, but now that someone can take the blame, why not disgust them? Just let the feathered fox go and pinch Naraku. Ao Ling shrugged, "Maybe in the end, for the sake of the Jade of the Four Souls, there will be infighting on the Feathered Fox's side." ”

After all, Naraku really didn't get the Jade of the Four Souls, and if the Shinto and Onmyoji bite Naraku to death and take it, and Kikyo also thinks that Naraku took it and chases him, Naraku will have to take the pot even if he really doesn't take it.

And as long as Naraku doesn't want to take the blame, it will definitely lead to trouble.

Who can it lead to?

Eight times out of ten. Nine are the youkai that are now bouncing around the Kyoto area.

Ao Ling's ears on the top of his head twitched, "It's this Naroku...... It's true that this is not the first time I've met him. ”

Kikyo's expression moved slightly.

"You should remember the first time I met you, Kikyo?" At that time, Ao Ling also asked Kikyo to help him protect the three books.

Kikyo nodded, "Yes." ”

"I have an impression of the smell." The black-haired youkai thought seriously for a while, "When I first met you, the youkai that attacked you was this Naraku. ”

"I ate half of his body, and then I saw a human in the middle." Ao Ling said and glanced at Kikyo, and then he didn't go deeper, but instead said: "If you say that Naraku is a youkai, you should be able to tell that Inuyasha is a half-demon - and a half-demon transformed from a human. ”

Inuyasha stared at Kikyo with some uneasiness, and only came back to his senses when he heard Ao Ling call his name, scratched his ears on the top of his head, and nodded.

"That Naraku...... There are countless evil thoughts and resentments mixed on his body, and the smell is unbearable. Inuyasha couldn't agree with Ao Ling's words.

- Ao Ling, who not only did not smell the stench, but also smelled a strange sweet fragrance, was silent for a moment.

He decided to ignore Inuyasha's description, "Such a half-demon, no matter how powerful it is, it is difficult to blend into the monster." ”

Inuyasha, who was also not accepted by the youkai, shook his ears and did not speak.

"The feathered fox will accept a half-demon, it must be because there is something about him that can impress the feathered fox." Ao Ling lowered his eyes to look at this cloud of ashes, "For example, this point. What are the abilities of the body? And he seems to know a lot of secrets. ”

At least the history of what he has done for Abe Harumaki should not be known to anyone except Gao Longjin and Sesshomaru.

"He has a lot of secrets." Inuyasha said, looking at the somewhat distracted Kikyo, and his expression suddenly became a little strange.

When he spoke again, he was angry, "Like that 'ghost spider'?" ”

Kikyo came back to his senses when he heard the name and glanced at the nervous Inuyasha, "It's not important. ”

Ao Ling looked at Inuyasha, who exploded in an instant, and then at Kikyo, who looked calm, and wittily closed his mouth in the Shura field between the lovers.

"How can it not be important, it is very important!" Inuyasha was almost about to jump up, and the whole person looked very restless and restless, "Didn't you notice the way he looked at you, Kikyo!?" ”

Ao Ling: "......"

Oh, Inuyasha is really sensitive to this kind of thing.

Kikyo glanced at Ao Ling, who was obviously watching a good show, paused, and refocused his gaze on his lover, "I found out, but it's really not an important thing." ”

"No, it's important!" Inuyasha, who didn't want to show his concern for the youkai directly, rubbed the ground under his feet hard, and anyone with eyes could see that his emotions fluctuated very much - even the golden eyes began to glow bloody.

It was a sign that the blood of the youkai was boiling in the body.

"Inuyasha, sit down." Kikyo calmly watched as Inuyasha was pulled by the spirit rosary around his neck and landed on his face, "If you want to know about the ghost spider, just say it." ”

The white-haired half-demon raised his face, his eyes flashing red, "I don't want to know!" ”

"Oh." Kikyo nodded, "Then we'll go straight to find the feathered fox." ”

Inuyasha snorted twice, looked at Kikyo and looked unmoved, scratching his head irritably and sitting on the ground, "Yes, yes, yes!" I want to know! I want to know what you're up to that monster - you don't know the way he looks at you......"

"yes, I know." Kikyo raised his hand and gently patted Inuyasha's head in a way that comforted the pet dog, pinching his ears by the way.

Ao Ling sat on the side, and when he saw Inuyasha's whole body stiffen instantly, his face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"......."

He couldn't help but reach out and touch his ears.

Maybe it's because I'm used to being pinched by others, and I don't think there's anything worth blushing at all.

"The ghost spider is a human, and when I rescued him, he was covered in burn marks, and he was in such a bad condition that he barely survived." Kikyo struggled to recall this part of the memory that was not very important, "but unexpectedly, he survived in the end." ”

"Not only did I survive, but I regained the ability to move – and I always showed that I loved me."

Inuyasha snorted heavily.

"Then he got back healthy and I left." Kikyo summed up his impression of the ghost spider in very sloppy words, "Later, I heard that he used to be a robber, and I didn't think I should save him at the time." ”

Inuyasha pursed his mouth, "That's it?" ”

"That's all." Kikyo nodded, "But think about it this way, if it's a ghost spider, because you can't control the swelling desire in your heart. It's really possible to attract youkai to devour yourself. ”

"Didn't Ling say that there was a human in Naraku's body before? That might be a ghost spider. Kikyo said and patted Inuyasha's head, the indifferent expression on his face softened, "You should be confident, Inuyasha." ”

The ears on the top of the white-haired half-demon's head were crushed by the witch's hand, and he just snorted lightly twice and didn't speak.

Ao Ling felt that he was going to be blinded by them.

He coughed heavily, "When are you going to find the Feathered Fox?" ”

"Wait." Kikyo withdrew his hand from the top of Inuyasha's head, "According to your previous misleading of Naraku and Kifune Shinto, it shouldn't be long before everyone outside will know that the Jade of the Four Souls has fallen to the Feathered Fox's side. ”

Kikyo is not such a pedantic person, on the contrary, she not only does not reject this kind of thing by taking advantage of the situation, but is also quite happy to see it happen.

- This can be seen from the fact that she used the past three years to brush up on Inuyasha's prestige and reputation in Kyoto, and led the people who still worship Kyoto to praise Inuyasha one after another.

"Do you want to wait for the feather-clothed fox to make a mess because of the jade of the four souls before making a move?" Ao Ling's demonic power hooked the yellow spring qi in the beast's teeth, and asked casually.

Kikyo nodded.

Ao Ling held a large ball of yellow spring qi and gnawed very happily, and when he saw the reaction of the bellflower, he wagged his tail slightly.

He spoke again, but he no longer mentioned the matter of the feathered fox, "Do you think that the Shinto of your ship will tell me about me and Abe Harumi?" ”

"No, it won't." Kikyo shook his head, "Now your identity is the oracle of the god of the high dragon, for them, you used to be driven by the human race - even if it was Abe Harumi, it is not a glorious history, and Naraku, if you don't want to offend the god of the high dragon, you will definitely not say it everywhere." ”

Hearing what Kikyo said, Ao Ling relaxed slightly.

He couldn't imagine what Sesshomaru would be angry if he had been known to everyone about being Abe's Harumi family dog.

- I feel like I'm going to explode when I think about it.

Maybe then he will be so angry that he won't take him back to the West!

This is not going to work_(:зゝ∠)_

Ao Ling finished gnawing on the last bit of Huangquan Qi in his hand, stood up and patted his buttocks, still feeling a little uneasy.

He decided to go back to the house and write a letter to Sesshomaru about Naraku, and by the way, he also gave Sesshomaru a vaccination.

What if something happens?

Ao Ling was worried, said hello to the bellflower and went into the Taisha house, tore a piece of cloth from the table where the god was enshrined, and directly printed what he wanted to write on it with his demonic power - as for how to explain this cloth at that time......

Isn't there still Naraku who can take the blame?

Ao Ling finished writing about Naluo in his heart, and stared at the god card.

Regarding the fact that he once worked for Abe Harumi that this history might be poked out, he really couldn't find a suitable posture to tell Sesshomaru.

…… How to say it.

Although this matter is not a secret in the eyes of the gods, in the midst of youkai, they can accept a divine envoy, but they certainly cannot accept a kind of god who used to be Abe Harumei-style gods.

Well...... Sesshomaru definitely doesn't mind.

However, if this matter is known to others, the impact will definitely be very bad.

Ao Ling sighed, and simply wrote down this matter very rudely, and by the way, he blacked it fiercely.

- If it weren't for this half-demon, why would there be so much!

Ao Ling was a little angry.

He finished writing the letter angrily, reached out and directly grabbed Xiao Fu Fushen, who poked his head out of the god card, and stuffed the cloth into his arms, "Send it to the western country." ”

However, the palm-sized little Fu Fu Shen hugged the cloth and nodded obediently.

Ao Ling watched Xiao Fu's body become transparent little by little, as if he thought of something, and reached out to grab him again.

Fu Fushen: "? ”

"You just saw Naraku take the Jade of the Four Souls, right?" He asked.

Xiao Fu was stunned for a moment and shook his head.

"No, you saw it!" Ao Ling said in a tone of great affirmation.

Xiao Fu looked at him with blank eyes.

"You must have seen it." Ao Ling picked up Fu Fushen, who was no more than the size of a palm, upside down and shook it.

Xiao Fu hugged the cloth in his arms tightly, tears snapped away, and then nodded aggrievedly.

"Good." Ao Ling put down Fu Fushen with satisfaction, "On the way to the West Country, talk to those land gods and Fu Fushen more about Naluo, do you know?" ”

Ao Ling's face was serious, and he splashed dirty water without blinking.

"This monster is bad, he not only stole the jade of the four souls, but also is good at changing his face to confuse people's hearts, and he also likes to open his mouth and arrange others, he is a liar, he can't believe a word of his words!"

Fu Fushen: "......"

Help, what should I do if this monster has become more and more shameless in the past three years!

This monster is still stinking and shameless bullying him in the name of their high dragon god envoy!

Gao Longshen still doesn't care!!

It doesn't matter yet!!

In spite of!

I can't live this day at all!

Fu Fushen hugged the strip of cloth printed with demonic power in his arms hard, and shivered in the face of the threatening smile on Ao Ling's face.

- and then he nodded again, extremely aggrieved.
