Chapter 44

"Shrine maiden?" The boy in white sat on the corridor, looking at the exquisite garden in the palace, and his voice was distant and melancholy: "I really didn't expect it, I just wanted to...... But it caused so much trouble. ”

The emperor, who was sitting behind the curtain of the inner room, had a gloomy face, and he sighed for a long time: "Even Mr., but I didn't expect that the ...... around me It's actually a good person. ”

"It's time to go." The boy in white got up, his body fluttering, almost floating on the corridor, he smiled at the emperor, and the moonlight fell on his pure white sleeves, like a fairy man.

The emperor opened his mouth and said in frustration, "Can't the gentleman stay?" ”

“…… Unfortunately, I'm not fit to meet the shrine maiden, her arrows will hurt my soul. The boy in white smiled, and the gift of the god of the sun on his forehead faintly radiated a golden light, and he didn't know if it was the emperor's illusion, but he even felt that his surroundings had become warmer.

The emperor couldn't help but say, "Your soul ......"

"Ah, my state is somewhat similar to that of God." The boy in white tilted his head, as if thinking about something, and he smiled: "But I don't deserve the honorific title of God, but I am just the king of men." ”

The emperor instantly understood, it turned out to be an ancient king, descended into the body of this boy, so he said that it was not suitable to see the witch, after all, the witch's arrows can hurt the soul.

The Emperor hurriedly said, "If I order the shrine maiden to leave......

"Don't do that."

I don't know when, the boy in white has already floated into the inner room, he pressed one hand on the emperor's hand, and showed a clear smile: "It's not worth it." ”

He floated slightly, his body seemingly glowing.

"You are the king, don't forget the responsibilities and obligations of the king, and don't want the royal weapon for personal use."

"Here!!"

A bright and dazzling arrow suddenly shot from a distance, and it was about to stab the boy in white, and a cat demon with black flames burning all over his body hit the arrow, the cat demon screamed, the flames on his body disappeared, and it threw himself into the arms of the boy in white.

"Wind Wound!"

The fierce strong wind rushed in, the boy in white sighed softly, he raised his hand to support his forehead, and then a little light fell on his fingertips, but a finger, but a little, but in an instant, this little light of fireflies actually bloomed into a bright light, burning a raging flame!

Inuyasha subconsciously reflexively blocked Kagome, and Sunset Kagome's pupils constricted when she saw this.

"It is! God's gift! ”

She hurriedly tugged at Inuyasha's sleeve and said loudly, "Inuyasha! Don't hurt him, he's favored by the gods, he's not a monster! ”

"Nonsense!" The samurai who came with him shouted: "How can that white monster be favored by the great god, the cat demon around him is evil to Kyoto, and he should be killed!" ”

Sunset Kagome trembled with anger, her bright eyes were full of anger, at this moment her body was extremely powerful, she pulled her bow and arrows, and the tip of the arrow was a little cold: "You are talking nonsense!" That's the god-given light of Amaterasu! Are you going to commit the following crimes? Warrior!! ”

The emperor is the heir of Amaterasu, and the murder of those who are favored by the gods will be punished by heaven, and the emperor should be reprimanded by the gods, and the samurai couldn't help but choke when he heard Sunset Kagome's question, and the emperor who was hiding in the room immediately had a good impression of the shrine maiden when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice, "Who are you waiting for?" Why did you trespass on the Imperial Palace!? ”

The samurai's eyes swept over the crowd with gloomy eyes, and he said sharply: "General Miyoshi received a report that there is a monster cholera royal family, and His Majesty the Emperor is worried, and the special envoy asks the general to send someone to get rid of the demon!" ”

As the words fell, the warriors behind him rushed into the nearby palace, trying to find the boy in white who had suddenly disappeared just now.

Sunset Kagome pursed her lips, she was very angry, but she couldn't interfere in the affairs between the shoguns and daimyo without permission, her task was to eliminate demons, and only to eliminate demons, and protect the emperor from youkai.

Thinking of this, she took a deep breath and looked down at Inuyasha, "Are you okay?" ”

Inuyasha touched his eyes and said irritably, "I can't see it for the time being!" ”

Sunset Kagome sighed: "Such a strong light, of course you will be blind when you see it suddenly, you bear with it first, and it should be fine after a while." ”

She calmed Inuyasha and walked to the cloister of the inner chamber and sat down, if there were samurai searching back and forth too much, she would even stare at each other closely, the witch's strong strength and piercing eyes brought great oppression to the samurai who committed the crime, these people muttered a few times, did not dare to search more carefully, and had to avoid the room where the emperor was.

The Emperor in the room clenched his hands into fists, angry at the rude and powerless samurai who had trespassed into the palace, and sad for his own powerlessness, he took a deep breath and hoped that the lord would leave the palace safely.

The only one of them who could endanger that gentleman...... Only the shrine maiden in front of me and this silver-haired youkai.

Thinking of this, the Emperor suppressed the fear in his heart and asked softly, "I don't know what this shrine maiden is called?" ”

Sunset Kagome said: "Sunset Kagome, don't worry, I will protect you from youkai." ”

His Majesty the Emperor was silent for a moment, and said softly, "That lord is not a youkai. ”

“…… I know. Sunset Kagome also whispered, "That clear and noble divine light is not something that youkai can have, it's just ...... I'm a witch who excludes demons, and I'll only be there where the monsters are there. ”

The emperor's eyes were hot, yes, without the excuse of youkai, even the shrine maidens who could protect this place would leave.

His tone was a little choked, and he said gratefully, "I'm sorry to trouble the shrine maiden." ”

Sunset Kagome said, "This is what I should do." ”

On the other side, Xia Chuanyu reluctantly stimulated the blessing of the gods on his forehead, and then hugged the cat and turned around and ran, and as soon as he ran a step, he saw mica.

The mica did not use its monster form, it moved its nose, sniffing the Xia Chuan fish and the black cat, and its expression was a little ...... Well, excited.

Oh, the almighty catnip, Xia Chuanyu rolled his eyes in his heart, and threw the cat to the mica with his backhand: "Follow it to find amber." ”

The cat ran away without saying a word, and it knew that without its own words, the five generations could run faster, and it was more convenient to fool people.

Flickers...... The little prince who was hiding in the room behind the emperor.

In the eyes of the little prince, it was the boy in white who carefully hid the black cat with a reluctant face, staggered a few steps and coughed, his body fluctuated like a shadow, as if there was a glowing soul collapsing.

The little prince looked at this scene in a daze, suddenly rushed out, grabbed the boy in white, turned around and ran away.

The white-clothed boy's voice was very soft: "Stay away from me, silly apprentice." ”

The little prince stubbornly grabbed the hand of the boy in white, and ran fast along the corridor, his eyes were now full of wanting to save the master's life, but he didn't think about it anymore, and he didn't find that he was running so fast, but there was no footsteps.

The little prince ran and ran with the boy in white, bypassing the courtyard of many pavilions, and finally came to a torii gate, behind which was a shrine in the royal palace, which enshrined the artifact given by Amaterasu, the eight-foot Qiong Oma jade.

The little prince gasped for breath, and when he turned around, he saw the boy in white bowing slightly, praying to Amaterasu with a reverent expression.

And Xia Chuanyu was indeed praying seriously, but the content of his prayer was an apology.

[Honorable gods, I wanted to help your descendants, but I didn't expect it to cause turmoil, I'm really sorry. 】

The gods didn't react, and Xia Chuanyu didn't care, his purpose was to greet him in advance and apologize first.

The little prince took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and prayed silently in his heart, begging for Amaterasu's forgiveness.

[Great ancestor, I just want to save Mr., rashly ask for the artifact, and ask the great god for forgiveness. 】

Immediately, the little prince pushed open the door of the shrine, revealing the eight-foot Qiong Hook Jade enshrined inside.

Xia Chuanyu looked at the eight-foot Qiong Hook Jade hanging on the altar in surprise, it was a blue hook jade with a pattern of yin and yang, sun and moon patterns, and there was a slightly smaller hook jade of the same color around it as an embellishment, which looked very ordinary, but it contained powerful divine power and treasure light.

The little prince walked into the shrine, bowed respectfully, and took off the eight-foot Qiong Hook Jade.

During the whole process, he did not receive any interference, and after the little prince took off the magatama, he turned around and handed it to the boy in white.

"Master, please take it."

The little prince said softly: "No matter what reason you came to the palace, you have finally shown us a way, this thing is the eight-foot Qiongyu jade artifact handed down by the great god of Amaterasu, I can't give it to you, but ......"

He smiled slyly, "I can lend it to you." ”

The boy in white seemed to be shocked, he looked at the little prince in a daze, and couldn't help but burst into tears: "I am ashamed to have such sincerity for my unintentional move!" ”

He raised his hand and pointed, and some of the experience of countless years of dominating the forces of all parties flowed into the mind of the little prince.

"Thank you, kid." He blessed with a heartfelt blessing: "You will be a worthy king, changing the decline of the royal family and reviving the glory of the blood of the gods." ”

The little prince smiled brightly when he heard this: "I'll do it later." ”

Xia Chuanyu looked at the eight-foot Qionggou jade in his hand and sighed softly.

[I, Xia Chuanyu, swear hereby that I will find a way home in the coming day or completely solve the problems of my soul and body, and I will return this thing to the royal family. 】

The oath fell, and on the high heaven plain, the gaze of a god swept over him as if nothing, and at the same time, the eight-foot Qiong Hook Jade in Xia Chuanyu's hand trembled slightly, and the flickering divine light on it gradually became restrained, turning into an ordinary Hook Jade.

Xia Chuanyu kept the Magatama necklace around his neck, and in an instant, his soul seemed to have found a body, blending with water and milk, and the whole body was comfortable, and he no longer had to worry about the soul being exhausted, nor did he need to worry about the soul leaving the body, just because the power on the Magatama would always cover his soul, and the laws of the world could not do anything.

He sighed with emotion: "It really deserves to be the jade of the gods." ”

It's not in vain that he has spent so much time and so much thought.

Then it's time to leave.

Outside Kyoto, on the banks of the Kamogawa River, Natsukawa Yu regained his true face, the black cat demon stood on his shoulder, he looked at Kyoto in the morning light, and couldn't help but smile.

It was a smart child, and he had already guessed his true purpose in the end, but even so, the little prince still gave him the eight-foot Qiong Hook Jade, just because no matter how powerful the Eight-foot Qiong Hook Jade was, it was just a piece of cold jade to the royal family, but Xia Chuanyu could give them the most important thing.

Xia Chuanyu used force to bait the most bait to teach the power of the ninja, but in the end, he left the greatest wealth to the wise little prince.

Wisdom.

That child will have a bright future.

"And where do we go?"

"Go to the modern world."

"Huh!? Can I go? ”

"Yes!"

…… Otherwise, why would he deceive the eight-foot Qiong Gou Yu?

Xia Chuanyu showed a smug expression, he turned around, laughed and left.
