Just when the outside world was in full swing, a cold and beautiful witch walked in the mountains and fields.

Da! Da! Da!

The sound of clogs slapping on the ground was faint, and the ripples of sound rippled in the slightly humid air.

Behind Kikyo hangs a wooden bow, and the wooden arrow in the quiver trembles slightly with the pace of walking.

Suddenly, Kikyo paused, his eyes moved, and he looked at a secluded forest path.

"Huh?"

Kikyo noticed that there seemed to be a spiritual power fluctuation similar to his own in front of him, and an evil aura emitted by a youkai, and the two breaths seemed to be still intertwined and collided.

"It looks like there's someone fighting the youkai over there."

With a whisper, Kikyo headed in the direction of the breath.

Soon, she came to a bamboo clearing.

In front of her, a young shrine maiden with a beautiful face was confronting a red-haired demon with two large sharp horns on his head across from her.

"Shrine maiden, I advise you not to meddle in Uncle Ben's affairs! Otherwise, Uncle Benben will suck all your lean meat dry! ”

The red-haired demon smiled at the young witch.

"Presumptuous! You evil spirit has harmed the lives of many innocent beings, and now I have been entrusted with the task of eradicating you! ”

The young shrine maiden had no fear in the slightest.

"Humph!" The red-haired demon snorted coldly and pounced directly at the young witch.

When the young shrine maiden saw the red-haired demon pounce, the kagura bell in her hand shook, and the jingle bell rang.

The young shrine maiden shook the Kagura bell and spat out an incomprehensible spell before a pale blue barrier appeared in front of her, directly blocking the red-haired demon.

After resisting for a while, suddenly a wound on her right shoulder was opened, blood flowed out, and a corner of her clothes was stained red, making her feel a tearing pain, her body trembled slightly, and her face turned a little pale.

The red-haired demon noticed her anomaly and couldn't help but laugh and laugh:

"Mikona, it seems that you were injured a lot in the previous battle with the others, right? Looking at you like this, it is estimated that this enchantment will not last long, so while you are weaker now, I will solve you! ”

With that, the red-haired demon immediately rushed over, revealing a pair of sharp and cold ghost claws, and directly scratched the enchantment!

The young witch was shocked and hurriedly took a few steps back, but the injuries on her body seemed to be worsening, and the wounds were still polluted by evil qi, but in her current situation, she really couldn't deal with the wounds in time.

Just as the red-haired demon wanted to attack the young witch again, a demon-destroying arrow that emitted purple brilliance spiritual power burst out of the forest, directly piercing the demon's brain, and then he hung up.

The young shrine maiden was stunned, and her eyes turned to the bamboo forest.

I saw the bellflower walking out of the bamboo forest gently, and the cold and beautiful face made the young witch stunned.

"Are you alright?"

Kikyo asked.

"Hmm~ Thank you for saving me."

The young shrine maiden replied.

Kikyo lowered his body and stretched out his hand with an indifferent face, covering the wound of the young shrine maiden from the invasion of evil energy.

The palm covering the wound emitted a gentle white purifying aura, gradually expelling the evil qi mixed with the wound, and the wound healed little by little.

At the same time, the young shrine maiden felt the pain of her wound slowly disappear, and her gaze at Kikyo became surprised.

What is the origin of this shrine maiden?

It has such a powerful spiritual power! Healed all the wounds on my body.

However, I always feel that the shrine maiden in front of me, who has the same profession as me, doesn't seem to feel angry.

When the young shrine maiden looked at Kikyo, Kikyo had already withdrawn her hand and stood up, looked at the young witch with a flat gaze, and asked:

"What? Any questions? ”

"That's embarrassing! I'm rude! ”

The young witch came back to her senses and realized that she had been a little rude, and she couldn't help but blush.

The young shrine maiden stood up and bowed politely to Kikyo.

"Hello then! I'm Hitomi, a shrine maiden from the nearby Qingzhi Village.,I think it's supposed to be running through here.,If you don't dislike it, go to our village to rest for a while.。 ”

Kikyo listened to this suggestion and nodded slightly.

Hitomi was slightly happy when she saw Kikyo nodding, and then led Kikyo to Qingno Village.

Soon, the two of them came to Qingzhi Village, the villagers were very welcoming, and the houses in the village were no different from Fengzhi Village, they were all made of wood and thatch.

However, the shrine in the village where I came was built quite solemnly, this shrine is relatively small, and it is also the residence of Hitomi, where she will perform all kinds of rituals that the villagers ask for.

Except for special occasions such as festivals, the villagers do not usually come to this place easily, because the shrine represents a kind of guardianship in their hearts, and it is a sacred and inviolable existence, and it belongs to the realm of the gods.

This kind of cultural thought or tradition of worshipping ghosts and gods is actually related to Shintoism, which the Japanese believe in in their bones.

This Shinto religion is similar to the Taoism that was born and raised in my country, and it was formed based on the national conditions and folk customs of our country.

But the two are different, and the Taoist ideological tradition in China all uphold the concepts of "pure non-action", "Taoism and nature", and "the unity of heaven and man", and go with the flow.

Moreover, Confucianism, which has been absorbed and evolved from Taoism, has a "respectful and distant attitude towards ghosts and gods".

But the Japanese are different, they are a people who revere the culture of ghosts and gods, and even in modern times due to the influence of Western civilization, this tradition is still preserved, which is also related to their so-called bushido spirit.

Therefore, there was a matter of Japanese leaders in later generations going to the Jingkuni Shrine to pay respects, which was a lot of public opinion turmoil for the third world countries after World War II at that time.

After passing through the torii, the two Kikyo entered a large hall room, and after the tea and refreshments were arranged, Hitomi began to entertain Kikyo.

Kikyo glanced around slightly, a little cold and empty.

"Originally, my grandfather was here, he was the priest of this village, but after a catastrophe, now I am the only one left."

Hitomi said suddenly, and her tone seemed to be lonely.

Yes, since her grandfather's death, she has been fighting alone for more than ten years, just to protect the village and exchange for peace.

But in this chaotic era, how can this stability be so easy to get? In the end, this path of Shura is still bloody.

She feels a little tired~

I'm really tired~

Kikyo looked at Hitomi with a flat gaze, as if he saw his own shadow in her.

On the road of guarding the Jade of the Four Souls, constantly fight and fight against evil monsters, and break out of a prestige!

When she is in danger, she meets the first man in her life!

That's it, fate, wonderful.

She herself seems to have gone from a holy and cold, bloody shrine maiden to an ordinary woman during that good time......

However, in a moment's thought, it was just a dream......
