Chapter 18 (18) Mighty Kikyo
Chu Yue looked back at the bellflower, but found that the bellflower was a little more lost.
"Brother Chu Yue has already ...... Are you a few hundred years old......" Kikyo himself whispered.
If Chu Yue's body was a normal human body, then Chu Yue wouldn't have heard Kikyo's words, but unfortunately, Chu Yue heard it.
Ahh Chu Yue's heart began to be broken again......
Chu Yue and Kikyo followed behind the demon slayer. Chu Yue asked, "By the way, what's your name?" ”
"My name is Dali." The demon slayer said, "What is the matter with Lord Chu Yue's return to the village this time?" ”
"It's nothing...... Chu Yue thought for a while, "I want to let the bellflower do a bit of actual combat and training." ”
"Is this a shrine maiden?" Dali looked at the bellflower, "I must think that I am a very strong witch." ”
"Huh." Chu Yue just smiled and didn't answer.
The three of them walked to the front of the village chief's house, and Chu Yue asked, "Dali, do you want to go in with me?" ”
"No, there are still some monster bones that have not been dealt with, and the following things will not accompany you, Lord Chu Yue."
"Well, then you can get busy." Chu Yue replied, "Kikyo, let's go." ”
In the village chief's house, Chu Yue looked left and right, paying attention to the changes in the position of various things in the village chief's house, and the number of tools.
"Lord Chu Yue," said the village chief, "if there is anything that can help you when you come back to the village this time, please feel free to ask." ”
"No, it's nothing, I just brought my disciple here, hoping that my disciple can be trained." Chu Yue said with a smile, but in her heart, she was a little lonely. Things are not people, for such a long time, I haven't come, there is no one I know in the village, and the village chief's words made Chu Yue feel that he was more like a traveler.
"By the way," Chu Yue said suddenly, "I brought a lot of poisons, darts, and some sword weapons extracted from the corpses of many monsters, and put them in the village's warehouse." ”
"Hmm......" The village chief looked at Chu Yue, "but...... Do you stay with these things? ”
"That's right." Chu Yue replied, looking at the village chief's somewhat puzzled eyes, she immediately reacted again, "Oh, you take me to the warehouse, I can naturally take it out." ”
"Okay." The village chief didn't ask much, and directly took Chu Yue to the warehouse.
Chu Yue took out all kinds of things refined from the corpses of the monsters that he had killed for so long from the divine room, and made the village chief's jaw open in surprise.
"Well, ......so much," said the village chief, "but how did you do it?" said the village chief. ”
"It's just a mage who can store things...... Chu Yue said, "Okay, if there is a job to slay demons, leave it to me and Kikyo." ”
"Yes...... I'll take notice. The village chief replied immediately.
"Then, village chief, you can go and get busy with you, I still have some things to do......"
……
"Brother Chu Yue, is this place?" Little Kikyo asked.
"Here......" Chu Yue said as she cleaned up the house, "This is my former home, but I have always been alone." ”
"Where did Brother Chu Yue live before......" Little Kikyo looked at the small room, "It looks orderly." ”
"Well, I cleaned it up when I came last time, but I haven't been here much." Chu Yue replied, "You can stay here until we go back." ”
"Well......" Little Kikyo finished speaking, and also walked around the house, and when he saw that there was something he could help, he stepped forward to help.
……
"......" Chu Yue stood on a grassy field, looking up at the sky, her eyes full of helplessness and sentimentality.
"Brother Chu Yue......" Little Kikyo saw Chu Yue's eyes and asked with some concern.
"I'm fine......" Chu Yue said lightly. Kikyo, you can go back first...... I want to be alone here. ”
"Brother Chu Yue......" Little Kikyo looked at Chu Yue, but Chu Yue covered her face with her hair.
Little Kikyo walked over and hugged Chu Yue from behind him.
"Brother Chu Yue, I don't know if you have any sad past...... However, if I can share a little with Brother Chu Yue, I will be happy to be able to help Brother Chu Yue's ......."
"Kikyo ......" Chu Yue lowered her head and said softly, "Thank you......"
The little bellflower left, and Chu Yue was still standing in the grass in the differential.
"Sister Xiaozhuo, Anya, Qihe, Captain Baishi......" Chu Yue said softly, "Are you still in that world...... Or is it that reincarnation has re-entered this world...... I've lived so long, I really ...... I miss you a little bit......"
I remembered when I first came to this world, when I first arrived in this village, when I was trained as a child, and when I was on a mission with Xiaojun and Anya......
Chu Yue lowered her head, and a tear fell......
"It's been hundreds of years...... Chu Yue cried, "It's been hundreds of years!" When will I see it again! Father...... Mother...... Xiaoluo...... I miss you so much......"
The wind blew, and the grass fluttered with Chu Yue's long hair.
……
Next. Chu Yue's home.
"We've been tasked with slaying demons." Dali said to Chu Yue, "The village chief asked me to go with Lord Chu Yue and Miss Kikyo. ”
"Really......" Chu Yue replied, "When will you leave?" ”
"Right now. Lord Chu Yue was ready for a while. ”
"Yes......" Chu Yue looked back at Kikyo, "Kikyo, take the bow and arrow, let's go." ”
"Yes, Brother Chu Yue." Kikyo immediately took out his bow and arrows and walked out of the village with Chu Yue and Dali.
"This weapon ......" Chu Yue suddenly noticed the big weapon on Dali's back, "Flying bones?" ”
"Huh? Does Lord Chu Yue know this weapon? Dali asked with a smile.
"No...... It just feels a little familiar. Chu Yue said, "Dali, do you have a child?" ”
"Son, not yet." Dali said, "However, this weapon is a very good weapon, and it can be passed on forever." ”
"Well, it's a pretty good weapon." Chu Yue said with a smile.
As soon as she walked out of the village, mica ran out of the village.
"Yo! Mica! Long time no see. The mica ran over and jumped into Chu Yue's arms, moving from side to side, looking very excited.
"You went out on missions the first few times you came, and you just came back this time, right?"
Mica screamed, as if answering Chu Yue.
"Hehe, since you just came back, let's rest, don't go with us again."
Mica screamed again and climbed onto Chu Yue's head.
"What? You're not tired...... Alas, I really can't do anything about you," Chu Yue said, "Then let's go together." ”
The mica jumped down and screamed again, seemingly happy.
"Brother Chu Yue, who is this little cat demon?" Little Kikyo asked.
"Oh, it's called mica." Chu Yue said, "It's a cat monster that has lived for a long time." It's also a good friend of mine. ”
"Mica...... Little Kikyo looked at the mica who squatted down and looked at the bellflower, "It's so cute......"
"Hehe......" Chu Yue smiled, "Mica, let's go." ”
Mica walked to the front, and after a burst of flames, mica changed into a battle form.
"Kikyo, you and Dali sit mica, I'll fly by myself."
"Can I sit?" The little bellflower looked curious and a little excited.
"Let's go." After Chu Yue finished speaking, she took the lead in flying into the air.
Little Kikyo and Dali also sat on the mica and flew up.
……
"Is this it?" Chu Yue asked Dali.
"Well, the monster's lair that the client said is near here."
"A youkai that looks like a bear?"
"Hmm." Dali replied, "Does Lord Chu Yue feel it?" ”
"Well, it's a kind of level youkai." Chu Yue said, walking in one direction. Little bellflower, Dali, immediately followed. Mica stood on Chu Yue's shoulder.
"Here we are." Chu Yue walked to a cave and stopped.
The mica made a "whining" sound when she felt in danger, and Chu Yue immediately touched the mica and said, "Don't make a noise, mica." ”
The mica immediately fell silent, but remained staring at the cave.
Suddenly, a huge bear monster rushed out of the cave, and when he saw Chu Yue, he immediately attacked Chu Yue.
Chu Yue jumped back and dodged the bear's blow, and Dali immediately flew over, but he didn't hurt the bear monster.
I saw that the flying bone was not finished yet...... it was still possible to penetrate this kind of monster with the flying bone used by the coral in "Inuyasha". Chu Yue thought to herself.
"Alright, Kikyo, shoot an arrow and see." Chu Yue said to the little bellflower.
As soon as he finished speaking, Kikyo's Demon Breaker Arrow had already shot out, directly hitting the Dog Bear Monster, and immediately the Dog Bear Monster was wiped out by the Demon Breaker Arrow.
"Oh! Kikyo, it seems that you are really good! Chu Yue said with some surprise.
"Okay, that's amazing...... Dali said when he saw Kikyo's demon-breaking arrow, "What a powerful witch." ”
"Huh." Chu Yue said, "But it's a pity that the monster was directly destroyed with the Demon Destroying Arrow, and the corpses could not be left." ”
"It's okay, our mission is to get rid of demons, and collecting the remains of monsters is just a matter of passing." Dali replied, "What a powerful witch." He is worthy of being a disciple of Lord Chu Yue. ”
"Hehe, it's over." Chu Yue smiled.
……
In the next few days, Chu Yue and Kikyo followed the various squads in the village to eliminate the demons, and Kikyo's combat experience was also improving rapidly, and they were shocked by Kikyo's powerful spiritual power, and the demon slayer in the village chief all had respect for the young Kikyo. And the kindness and gentleness of the bellflower are also witnessed by all the demon slayers in the village.
Half a year later, Chu Yue felt that as a witch, Kikyo had now mastered almost all the spells and knowledge that a witch should master. Therefore, Chu Yue decided to go back with Kikyo.
……
"Goodbye, then, everyone." Chu Yue and Kikyo were at the entrance of the village, bowing to everyone.
"Goodbye, Lord Chu Yue! Goodbye, Miss Kikyo! ”
Mica also stood at the entrance of the village, wagging her two big tails, and looked at Chu Yue reluctantly.
"Let's go." Chu Yue turned her head and said to the bellflower.
"Hmm." Kikyo nodded, and set foot on the way back with Chu Yue.
……
In the original village.
Chu Yue and Kikyo walked to the entrance of the village and saw that the village was still peaceful.
"It's really a little strange, this village is always so peaceful, there are no monsters coming, it's a little strange to think about it." Chu Yue said.
"Could it be that Brother Chu Yue wants the monsters to come?" Kikyo asked with a smile.
"Hehe, that's there, but, even if there are youkai coming now, as long as Kikyo is still in this village, the village won't be destroyed by youkai."
A girl ran over and saw Chu Yue and Kikyo, and immediately burst into tears.
"Brother Chu Yue, you are a big liar, and my sister is also a big liar!" Kaede ran over and hugged Kikyo and cried.
"Kaede...... I'm sorry......" Kikyo said immediately.
"Hmm......" Chu Yue said, "I'm sorry, Feng, I thought it would be soon, but I didn't expect it to be half a year ......."
"Brother Chu Yue lied to me! Said I'll be back in a few days! Kaede cried.
"Okay, okay, don't cry." Kikyo squatted down and touched Kaede's head, "Aren't we coming back?" ”
"Then, you," Kaede said, sobbing, "aren't you going to go in the future?" ”
"Well, I won't leave Kaede again." Kikyo said with a smile.
"What about Brother Chu Yue?" Feng turned his head to look at Chu Yue.
"I'm not going to leave the village." Chu Yue smiled.
"Hmm!" Kaede stopped crying, pulled Kikyo and Chu Yue, and walked towards the village.
However, what Chu Yue was thinking in her heart was, would I leave the village...... I really don't know......
……
A year and a half later.
Kikyo is 16 years old and is already a powerful shrine maiden who is famous in the western country. And during this period, Chu Yue's pursuit of bellflower was also very undiminished. The people in the village all saw it, but they all thought that it was Chu Yue's concern for the disciple. Only Kikyo and Kaede knew that Chu Yue was pursuing Kikyo. However, Chu Yue's pursuit of bellflower is considered by everyone to be the concern between master and apprentice, and when they talk about it, they always talk about the status of master and apprentice, and the bellflower is even more embarrassed to accept Chu Yue. And Chu Yue also knows the situation, but there is no way, pursue it, it is considered by everyone to be the concern between master and apprentice, don't pursue it, Chu Yue is still afraid that Inuyasha will not know when it will come out and make Chu Yue's current efforts all in vain.
Under the joint teaching of Kikyo and Chu Yue, Kaede has made rapid progress, although there is no way to compare spiritual power with Kikyo, but it can be regarded as a witch who has just passed.
……
In a Taoist temple.
"Yo! Pay the teacher! Chu Yue walked up to Master Fu, who was meditating, "Are you still practicing, it's really not relaxing at all." ”
"No way," Fu Shi opened his eyes and said, "Not everyone has the talent like yours. ”
"We're all old, just leave the task of exterminating demons to our disciples." Chu Yue sat opposite Master Fu, "We should rest and rest." ”
"I've never heard of a mage resting too." Master Fu said, "Only a mage like you, who doesn't know how to cultivate and can maintain his youth, will have the idea of resting." ”
"Hehe, mages are also human," Chu Yue smiled, "How can you not rest." ”
"You guy, no matter what, it's justified." Master Fu also smiled, "What's the matter with coming this time?" ”
"Can't I come to you if it's okay?" Chu Yue looked left and right, "What about Tsubaki?" ”
"I let her go out to kill demons." Master Fu said, "Speaking of Tsubaki, do you remember our Bijo? ”
"Bjorn? What is the pitcher? Chu Yue remembered it this time, but deliberately pretended not to remember.
"Well, I knew you must have forgotten again." Fu Shi shook his head helplessly.
"Haha, lie to you," Chu Yue laughed, "Isn't it just that you don't accept me, and then want to cultivate a disciple who can surpass my disciple?" It's a pity that you still didn't win me. ”
"Hehe, it's rare that you still remember." Master Fu also smiled, "You guy is always so lucky, and the disciples are all so strong in spiritual power." Indeed, compared with Tsubaki and bellflower, there are still some shortcomings. ”
"Then, not to mention spiritual power," Chu Yue suddenly became serious, "You should feel it too, right?" Not only spiritual power, Tsubaki's heart, compared to bellflower, is still a little less clean, right? ”
"......" Master Fu also took it seriously and shook his head, "But I can't help it, at this age, Tsubaki is paying more and more attention to his appearance, and he ......"
"It's not just her face," Chu Yue took over Master Fu's words and said, "Tsubaki is too conceited, she thinks she should be the strongest, so she is still a little hostile to Kikyo, right?" ”
"You know this...... Fu Shi said, "That's right, what can you not know about a big monster like you?" ”
"In the future as I know," Chu Yue said, "Tsubaki will become a black witch in the future......"
......" Master Fu was silent. Are you serious? Master Fu asked.
"Hmm." Chu Yue said, "The jade of the four souls will be kept by the bellflower, because the bellflower can purify the jade of the four souls. Tsubaki will feel that he can do better than Kikyo, and leave the Taoist temple in a fit of anger, wanting to defeat Kikyo to prove himself, but he was defeated by Kikyo and was devoured by the loss of consciousness, and there were many ugly stripes on his face, and finally in order to maintain his youth, he fused his soul with the monster......"
“…… This one...... Is that the future you see......" Fu Shi's body trembled a little and said.
"Hmm......" Chu Yue replied softly.
"Chu Yue, promise me one thing...... Master Fu suddenly whispered, "Help me and change this future ......"
Chu Yue was stunned for a moment, then calmed down and said, "Master Fu...... The future is not immutable, and what I see is only one of the futures...... It's easy to change. Chu Yue said, "Moreover, in the future I see, there will never be my appearance, so ...... Because my appearance has changed the trajectory of this world...... I will tell you the future of the original track, whether it can be changed or not depends on you...... And not ...... me."
"......" Master Fu fell silent and stopped talking.
"Alas......" Chu Yue sighed and walked out of the Taoist temple.
"Huh?" Chu Yue saw Tsubaki just walking from outside the Taoist temple to inside the Taoist temple.
"Tsubaki!" Chu Yue called Tsubaki.
"Huh? Lord Chu Yue? Tsubaki saw that it was Chu Yue, and it was a little strange.
"Tsubaki." Chu Yue walked up to Tsubaki and said, "You're back." ”
"Yes." Tsubaki was a little strange why Chu Yue stopped herself, but out of politeness, she didn't ask Chu Yue.
"What if...... Is there anything I can do to help you, or, if you have some grievances, talk to someone to talk to...... You can come to me......" After Chu Yue finished speaking, she walked directly to the outside of the Taoist temple, and did not give Tsubaki time to react.
"That...... What do you mean......" Tsubaki was a little strange, thought for a while and didn't come up with it, shook his head and walked into the Taoist temple.
……
"Then, the jade of the four souls will be handed over to Miss Kikyo for safekeeping......" Dali took a few demon slayers and handed over the jade of the four souls to the bellflower.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of the ......Jade of the Four Souls," Kikyo replied.
"Well......" Dali said, "and...... Lord Chu Yue is also in this village, and I am also relieved...... It's a pity that I didn't see Lord Chu Yue. ”
"It's okay, I'll tell Brother Chu Yue." Kikyo replied.
"Well, thank you, Miss Kikyo."
After talking to Kikyo, Dali left the village with the demon slayer.
……
After taking over the Jade of the Four Souls from Kikyo, the village is no longer as peaceful as before, and there are more and more monsters who come to snatch the Jade of the Four Souls, but with the protection of the Kikyo, the Jade of the Four Souls has not been taken away by any monsters.
At night, the sky was overcast, and there were no stars or moons to be seen.
Chu Yue came to the modern era from the bone eating well, and wanted to bring some useful gadgets back in the modern era, so she was not in the village. (Chu Yue: It's really hard to find what you want to use in the 19th century!) )
"Sister Kikyo, where did Brother Chu Yue go?" In the house, Kaede asks Kikyo.
"Brother Chu Yue, go and do your own thing......" Kikyo said. Because Chu Yue had told Kikyo and didn't let Kikyo tell Kaede, Kaede didn't know that the bone-eating well could lead to the world 500 years later. Although the bellflower knew it, it couldn't reach 500 years later through the bone-eating well like Chu Yue.
"Sister Kikyo, why don't you accept Brother Chu Yue?" Kaede asked suddenly.
Kikyo was stunned for a moment, then touched Kaede's head, "You're still young...... When you grow up, maybe you'll understand......"
"Hmm......" Kaede didn't understand, but he didn't know what to say.
Kikyo was suddenly startled, got up from the bed, picked up the bow and arrow leaning against the door, and said to Kaede, "Kaede, you stay here." With that, he walked out of the house.
"Sister!" Kaede also got up from the bed, got dressed and ran out.
"There are so many youkai at night...... "Kikyo kept shooting demon-destroying arrows outside the village, and some of the youkai immediately began to attack Kikyo, and some began to flee.
Although Kikyo was also injured, the remaining youkai began to flee under Kikyo's demon-breaking arrow.
Kikyo chased a few yokai and ran into the woods, and shot a few more arrows, and the yokai fought back when they were dying, and Kikyo's injury worsened.
"Whew, whew, whew......" Kikyo gasped, but immediately felt the demonic aura behind him again.
"How long are you going to hide?" Kikyo turned around and said.
Inuyasha hid behind a tree and did not speak.
Click! A flash of lightning struck the sky, and immediately, a torrential rain came.
"Are you also here for the Jade of the Four Souls?"
"The Jade of the Four Souls, what is that? What Jade of the Four Souls? ”
"Don't know...... Kikyo said and walked back, but just after taking a few steps, he couldn't stand the injuries on his body and fainted to the ground.
When Inuyasha saw it, he immediately jumped down from the tree and looked at Kikyo who had fainted.
