Chapter 109

Ao Ling squatted at the bottom of the well, not understanding why Sesshomaru would directly stuff him into the well.

It seems that since King Macang Ye, he has not jumped over the well by himself, and he has been pushed down.

Ao Ling muttered a few words unhappily, and turned out the beast tooth that the killing pill gave him, and the white tooth was no more than half a palm's length.

He made two gestures on the beast's tooth, drilled a hole in the root of the beast's tooth, and took off the dragon god's tendon and the jade plate from his neck, and the dragon god's tendon went around the hole several times and strung with the jade card.

The white beast teeth block the whole of the jade plaque, and only when it occasionally shakes, it will reveal the traces engraved on the jade plaque.

- You can't see it all at a glance.

The jade plaque and the beast tooth were placed in front of his eyes and shaken, and after making sure that he could block the family crest and handwriting on the jade plaque, he hung the string of small things back around his neck.

In today's world, Abe Harumi has a great reputation, and he is a monster who has a very good relationship with the next ruler of the Western Kingdom, if people find out that he is the "Abe Harumi's house dog" a thousand years ago, Ao Ling feels that the world of Shinto and monsters may explode.

After all, the monsters were very resentful of him back then, and on the Shinto side, Abe Harumi's reputation must be very high.

Ao Ling touched the ears that came out of the top of his head, and sat at the bottom of the well to comb his tail, and waited until the hair on the whole tail was very smooth, then he stood up, jumped up from the bottom of the well, grabbed the mouth of the well with both hands, and turned out.

The scenery outside the well was very familiar, and the smell was very familiar—miasma and heavy demonic aura came from afar, mixed with the pure aura from the nearby shrine, and it burrowed into Ao Ling's nose in one go.

The ears on the top of the young monster's head trembled, and he felt that his ears were tied a little tightly by the long hair tied into a ponytail, and when he was about to reach out to dismantle it, he suddenly remembered that it was tied to him by King Macang Ye himself.

Ao Ling paused, sighed, and silently withdrew his hand.

Stretch it, he thought, hanging the pitch-black demon knife back on his waist and turning his head in the direction of the shrine.

Ao Ling remembers this.

This is the well he used when he left Sengoku for Heiankyo, and near a shrine in a village, there is an old tree at the mouth of the well that has withered for many years.

The name of the village not far away seems to be called Kaede Village, which is where Kikyo is used to staying, and after getting the Jade of the Four Souls, he directly enshrined the Jade of the Four Souls in the shrine of Kaede Village.

However, there is no breath of the Jade of the Four Souls in the Maple Village Shrine now.

Along the way, Ao Ling found that the village and shrine had not changed much.

It should be said that the road leading from the village to the shrine has not changed much in his memory, especially the vegetation and scenery on the side of the road.

This means that the days he actually got out of here weren't very long.

At the same time, the wind blowing from the shrine also put Ao Ling at ease.

It's still a familiar recipe, it's still a familiar taste.

The smell of Kikyo and Inuyasha is still strong, and they must have been staying here these days.

Ao Ling paused under the torii gate in front of the shrine, and the aura that made him extremely uncomfortable in the impression was now unusually peaceful and accepted him.

Probably because of the relationship between the divine power of the high dragon god.

The black-haired youkai touched the black string around his neck and walked directly into the shrine.

A little girl dressed in a shrine costume was standing in front of the shrine sweeping the ground with a broom, she heard Ao Ling's deliberately heavy footsteps and raised her head, and when she habitually showed a gentle smile to greet the guests, she saw the ears on the top of the head and the tail behind her, and the smile on her face froze for a moment.

The broom in the shrine maiden's hand fell to the ground and let out a scream.

"Demons, monsters——!!"

Ao Ling watched the girl howl as she ran into the shrine, stunned for a moment, walked to the place where she had just been, and helped up the broom that had fallen on the ground.

The little witch's right eye seemed to be invisible.

Ao Ling stood in the courtyard of the shrine with a broom, quietly waiting for the little witch to move the rescuers.

Kikyo was startled when she heard the screams outside, because she wasn't aware of the demonic energy.

What's more, youkai rarely come near shrines, especially those guarded by powerful shrine maidens or monks.

Kikyo heard the chaotic footsteps of his sister outside in confusion, and after frowning slightly, he picked up the bow and arrow hanging on the wall and opened the door to meet the little witch's panicked gaze.

"What's wrong, Kaede?" Her voice was cold, but her movements were very gentle and she supported her sister, and injected spiritual power into the little witch's body to help calm her fears.

"There's a youkai in the shrine!" After the little witch finished speaking, when she saw the bow and arrow in Kikyo's hand, she didn't say a word, and ran out with Kikyo directly.

Kikyo followed behind his sister, and for a long time he didn't notice any other aura in the vicinity besides Inuyasha's familiar demonic aura.

It stands to reason that even if she hadn't found out, Inuyasha should have found out.

After all, no one has an accurate statement about how strong the sense of smell is so far.

But Inuyasha, who is half a dog demon, didn't move at all.

Kikyo frowned, and her face showed obvious surprise when she saw the youkai in the courtyard with a broom and a face looking at her.

“…… Insult? She looked at the young man-looking monster uncertainly, and there was no trace of demonic energy on the other party.

But Kikyo still saw some traces of his youth in the other party's face and dress.

It's really a big change.

- Kikyo never imagined that he would be able to see a youkai grow from a teenager to a young man in such a short period of time.

Just think about Inuyasha's 10,000-year-old young man's face, a half-demon grows so slowly, how can a pure-blooded big youkai not be faster than him.

That's why Kikyo is a little unsure if the monster in front of him is the one who took away the jade of the four souls before - if it weren't for the ears and tail being too representative, he would have become an adult and have no demonic energy, and Kikyo might not be able to call out that name directly.

Ao Ling beckoned to Kikyo and put the broom aside, "Long time no see, Kikyo!" ”

Kikyo looked at the monster without any demonic spirit on his body, and nodded for a while, "I haven't seen you for two years, and it's not a long time." ”

As she spoke, she touched the head of her bewildered sister beside her, "Kaede, go pour two cups of tea." ”

The little witch girl replied in a daze, turned around and ran to the back room.

Ao Ling was a little stunned that only two years had passed.

Kikyo glanced at the youkai and asked him if he wanted to go to the back room for a break.

Ao Ling shook his head and refused, he didn't plan to go to the house prepared for the guests at the shrine, but stood directly on the grass under the eaves, looked up at the bellflower standing on the eaves, and scratched his face for a while.

"I'm sorry, I lost the Jade of the Four Souls." He said, a look of shame on his face.

Kikyo was stunned for a moment, looked at Ao Ling's expression, for a long time, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, bent a small arc, and shook his head gently, "It's okay, it's a good thing that the jade of the four souls is gone." ”

"At least after the disappearance of the Jade of the Four Souls, it has been a long time since there have been monsters in Kaede Village who have come to cause trouble."

It's just that the Shinto side is not very easy to deal with, and Kikyo feels a little distressed when he thinks of the condemnation and suspicion of Shinto in the past two years.

Ao Ling was stunned for a moment, thinking of the fake jade in the jade card, and suddenly a little embarrassed and didn't know whether to take it out or not.

"It's just that Inuyasha can't turn into a human anymore." Kikyo sighed, bent down to put the bow and arrow aside, sat down on his knees, his back straight, and although the expression on his face was very calm, the disappointment in his eyes was still caught by Ao Ling.

Ao Ling thought about it, and finally decided to inform Kikyo of the existence of the fake jade, "I have a soul jade that is similar to the jade of the four souls. ”

Kikyo withdrew his gaze from the fiery sunset in the sky, and looked at Ao Ling in surprise.

The youkai took the jade out.

A vast aura swept through the shrine in an instant like a wave of waves, rushing towards Kaede Village farther away.

Kikyo was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly propped up the blockade barrier, blocking this wave of aura within the scope of Kaede Village.

"This jade ......" Kikyo looked at the jade that exuded an emerald green light in Ao Ling's hand for a long time, "It is stronger than the jade of the four souls." ”

"Huh? Didn't you? "Ao Ling, who has absorbed the power of Altana for nearly ten years by placing the Jade of the Four Souls at the Gate of Altana, has completely forgotten the power that the Jade of the Four Souls should have.

"Its maker told me that it was not a finished product, and that it was flawed compared to the Jade of the Four Souls." Ao Ling trusts King Ma Cang Ye very much.

"It's not as stable as the Jade of the Four Souls." Kikyo looked at the jade in the monster's palm, "The strength is really much stronger than the jade of the four souls." ”

Ao Ling thought for a moment, it didn't matter if the power of this piece of jade was stronger than the Jade of the Four Souls, "Then can it make Inuyasha turn into a human?" ”

"It should be...... Can you? Kikyo looked at this soul jade with uncertainty, unlike the Four Soul Jade, which had a very deep connection with her, she had no way of knowing the function of this soul jade at all.

"Then you can take it and study it." Ao Ling handed the soul jade in his hand to the bellflower, "This is what my friend specially made for me, I lost the jade of the four souls, I will compensate you for this, you can treat it as the jade of the four souls - when you die, I will take it back." ”

This made Kikyo choke when he said this, and glanced at Ao Ling, but he did not refuse the soul jade handed over by the other party.

She did hope that Inuyasha would become human, and Inuyasha himself hoped for it as well.

In the past two years, there have been no Jade of the Four Souls, and Kikyo and Inuyasha have lived comfortably.

The bellflower that has been bound to the "Jade of the Four Souls" for a long time has gradually decreased its sense of existence.

Kikyo and Inuyasha are very happy about this kind of life, and all this pair of lovers are waiting for is the Jade of the Four Souls.

Kikyo has already thought about it, and when Ao Ling returns the Jade of the Four Souls, she will immediately turn Inuyasha into a human, and then the power of the Jade of the Four Souls will disappear when it is exhausted.

No one would know that the Jade of the Four Souls had returned, and their lives would be able to continue to be so peaceful at that time.

Now something has gone wrong, but the difference is not too big.

Kikyo looked at Inuyasha, who was running all the way from Kaede Village, stepping on the roof, and turned his head to look at Ao Ling, who was leaning against the pillar, "Thank you for not being untrustworthy, Ling." ”

"I robbed your jade first, what do you say thank you?" Ao Ling looked at the bellflower suspiciously.

Kikyo smiled and didn't speak, turned around and put aside the tea that Kaede had brought, handed out a cup to the black-haired youkai, and picked it up himself.

The fragrance of the tea spread faintly, and the shrine maiden with long black hair and a beautiful face looked at the tea stalk erected in the cup, and her eyes showed warmth.

"But Kikyo, I have one thing ......" Ao Ling took a sip of hot tea, looked at Inuyasha's figure that was getting closer and closer, and turned his head to look at Kikyo.

"Do you mind Inuyasha being blind in one eye?"
