Chapter 28: The Sacrifice of the Water God
"Huh? What's going on? ”
Kagome looked at the villagers a little strangely.
Maitreya stepped forward to inquire, and a leading man said:
"I'm the local city lord, and I'm bringing you out to worship the water god today."
"Sacrifice to the god of water?"
"Yes, we have to cast a virgin boy or a virgin every year to the water god to ensure that the weather in the city and village is smooth."
"What? The water god sacrifice still needs a virgin boy? This can't be a youkai, right? ”
Kagome exclaimed.
"Alas~ We can't help it, we also suspected it before, and invited a lot of demon slayers, but in the end they all died at the bottom of the lake."
Maitreya: "That's it, otherwise leave it to me, Lord of the City, we are also demon slayers!" ”
"You guys? Forget it, if there is nothing to do, don't get in the way, we still have to go to worship the god of water! ”
The city lord was a little impatient, and after pushing away Master Maitreya, he beckoned the villagers to move on.
"It's a pity, I thought I could eat and live today." Maitreya seemed a little disappointed.
"It seems that this water god should be the fake snake demon."
Bai Ye muttered in a low voice.
[Temporary Mission: Go to the Water God's Mansion to obtain the Chill Bead!] 】
"Huh?" Bai Ye was stunned for a moment by the reminder of the navigation, "Han Luo Zhu? What's that? ”
[The Cold Spirit Bead, a second-class spiritual object, the thousand-year-old essence of cold water formed by the waters of the first area, is of great benefit to ice cultivators, and it can also enhance the host's ability to take out the ice. 】
"So?" Bai Ye touched his chin and thought.
"Huh? It's time for us to go that white night! ”
Maitreya shouted a sentence of the stunned white night.
"Oh, okay, here we go!" Bai Ye responded and followed.
At this time, a boy with a straw mat covering his body stood in the way of their walk, looking at them, "Hey! Are you demon slayers from afar? Then if you want to kill demons and make a living, come with me! ”
With that, the boy mysteriously walked in one direction.
"Huh??" Several people were puzzled.
But they followed, because they wanted to see what this little kid was going to do except for the white night.
Soon, the boy came to a hidden bush and took out a large bag of things from it, showing it to Inuyasha and them.
It was some fine silk and calligraphy, painting and porcelain and the like, which were considered luxury ornaments in the era at that time, and ordinary people could not afford these.
"Alright, as long as you help me get rid of that bad water god, these are yours!"
The boy crossed his waist in the posture of a hired worker.
Coral squatted down and picked up a yellow cloth, "These are very good fabrics, how can you have so many high-end goods as a child?" ”
"Oops! Leave it alone, after helping me kill that bad water god, these will be your rewards! The boy said with a grin, not in the slightest unceremonious tone.
Bang!
Inuyasha walked over and smashed a fist directly into his head.
"What are you doing?" The boy looked at Inuyasha angrily.
"I want you to know who's the boss!" Inuyasha then punched him a few more times.
"Inuyasha! You stop bullying little kids! Kagome took a few snorts before he stopped.
Bai Ye approached him, stared into his eyes and said:
"I think you should be the son of the city lord just now!"
"How do you know?"
"Don't worry about this for now, I think the reason why you want us to get rid of the demon is because you want to save the child who was used as a sacrifice."
The boy seemed to be poked in the middle of the matter and began to explain.
"My name is Taro, and the child who was used as a sacrifice was my best playmate Jiro, and I was the one who chose the sacrifice behind my back, but my father ......"
Hearing this, several people understood.
Maitreya: "So you want to save him." ”
Taro: "Because I can't watch him die!" Taro clenched his small fists as he spoke, with a look of determination on his face.
Bai Ye: "Then we'll grant your request." ”
Hakuya also motioned to Inuyasha and them, and they didn't refuse.
"Really, that's great! But you can't do it yet, wait until night! ”
"Hmm."
……
The night soon fell, and several bright stars appeared in the sky.
Hakuya they dive to a prepared boat and follow an unmanned automatic boat with a veiled child on it, presumably Jiro, who was used as a sacrifice.
They soon followed to a large floating palace, and when Jiro entered the mansion, a few crabs stood guard at the door.
"Get out of here!" Inuyasha jumped over and beat the two crab guards to the ground.
"He's amazing!" Taro exclaimed.
After Bai Ye got off the boat, there was a little squirrel sitting on his head and shoulders, steady, and this sitting posture was the same as those underworld bosses.
With a wave of the white night, a white light slashed out, directly destroying the doorway, revealing the courtyard corridor inside.
He ...... It seems to be a little more powerful. "Taro is even more surprised, are they sure that they are people?
Then Bai Ye walked in casually, and the others followed.
As they approached the hall, they saw Jiro sitting on the ground, and a fierce high-hatted snake demon was about to kill him.
"Jiro!" Taro yelled in a hurry.
When the basilisk was about to succeed, Inuyasha stopped it with his iron fangs, but let it dodge.
"Who are you! Trespass into the mansion of the god of water! Aren't you afraid of God's punishment? ”
The snake demon stared at Bai Ye and the others viciously.
"Divine punishment? You impostor water god! Suffer death! ”
Inuyasha wielded a large iron tooth and was about to chop it off.
"Humph! A bunch of things that don't know whether to live or die! Let me show you the power of the artifact Cloud Spear! ”
As soon as the words fell, the snake took out a golden spear and struck it on the ground, sending out strange fluctuations from the cloud spear.
Hakuya knew that this was a repulsive force, so he immediately opened the enchantment to defend himself, but he didn't cover Inuyasha and them, he himself came to find the Chill Bead.
In an instant, the scene around several people changed drastically, it was the bottom of the lake! They were then swept away by a violent torrent.
However, White Night was not affected by the reason for the enchantment defense, and he took advantage of this opportunity to sneak away to find the Chill Spirit Bead.
in the water
Bai Ye walked slowly, not afraid that water would come in and flood him, because his enchantment was not only god-proof but also waterproof!
"Huh?" White Night suddenly stopped.
He sensed a faint chill from three o'clock, but it was even colder than the lake.
"It looks like that cold spirit bead should be in that direction."
So, he took off and walked like a swift water dragon, and the place where the cold bead emanated happened to come from a large crack.
Bai Ye didn't hesitate, and jumped in after putting the squirrel door away, and he didn't know what was inside? And how much danger is there......
