The moon was in a semicircle in the sky, and the cold light cast on the earth, reflecting the quiet and peaceful village below.

Xiaoye's family of five sleeps together, with her parents and younger siblings, and she is the eldest daughter.

"I think Kikyo-sama is a little listless! It must be because of the monk during the day. ”

Recalling the strange words that the stubble monk had said during the day, Saya's mind was a little confused.

"I can't sleep!"

Xiao Ye was muttering to herself with her face hidden, but suddenly she saw Kikyo walking outside in the middle of the night from the door curtain.

"Kikyo-sama!"

Out of curiosity and concern for Kikyo, Xiao Ye immediately got up and tiptoed over.

"It's so late, where is she going?"

......

During the day, Kikyo was gathering herbs with her children by the river, and she was standing there alone.

"I was told strange things by that monk during the day, is Kikyo-sama a little unable to think about it?"

Hiding behind a tree not far away, Xiao Ye probed his brain and carefully observed the bellflower by the river.

Whew-

I saw Kikyo take a light breath, take off her plain white headband, and spread out a black and bright soft Ji hairstyle.

At this moment, a group of blue long insects immediately flew from the sky, holding a light blue soul ball in the front.

Kikyo stretched out his right hand, which was as smooth as jade, and his neck was tilted back, waiting for the arrival of the team of long insect monsters.

"Poor girl souls, come with me!"

Kikyo gently stroked the long worm, and after touching the soul ball, the whole facial expression gradually eased.

"Kikyo-sama...... Youkai are being manipulated! ”

Xiao Ye's body hiding behind a tree was trembling, and the whole person couldn't help but panic deep inside.

The long insect monster is called the Dead Soul Worm, and Kikyo accepts the advice of the burial river and summons it to collect the girl's soul for him.

The Dead Soul Worm has almost no combat power and defense, and its only ability is to collect the souls of the dead.

"Can't you become a Buddha with peace of mind? Miko-sama, you...... It must have been a long time since the deceased! ”

The stubble monk and his disciples he saw during the day also appeared by the river full of the ghostly spirits of the girl.

"Can you let me go? I want to live peacefully in this village. Kikyo said in an unusually indifferent tone.

"If you want to live in peace, why do you want to collect the souls?" The stubble monk was even more disbelieving.

"It's because ......" Kikyo hesitated.

"It seems like your body needs to be supported by a dead soul?" The bulbous artifact wrapped around the golden dragon in the stubble monk's hand suddenly shone brightly.

"What do you want to do?" Kikyo's face was ugly, and the behavior of the stubble monk already explained his attitude.

"It's for your own good, to bring you back to the world that belongs to you." The stubble monk chanted a mantra in his mouth.

The magic weapon was full of light, and it immediately disintegrated into a yellow lightning beam, and wrapped the bellflower in the shape of a spring ring that did not resist at all.

When the light was extinguished, the ring turned into a cyan dragon again, tightly strangling Kikyo's body.

"You can't escape from my soul-binding technique, so you can become a Buddha obediently! It's up to me to redeem your soul. ”

The stubble monk has a sad and pitiful image, and he feels relieved for the imminent overtaking of the bellflower.

"Redemption? It's up to you to ......"

However, hearing the words of the stubble monk, the violent emotions in the heart of the bellflower suddenly entered a state of uncontrollability.

"You want to redeem me?"

I saw that the spiritual power in Kikyo's body exploded instantly, and the green dragon that had no appearance was immediately blown to pieces.

"You ......"

The stubble monk exclaimed, and the magic weapon in his hand began to crack, and then turned into stones and fell to the ground.

The exploding cyan dragon claws grabbed the stubble monk's neck, and then turned into a misty rain of light.

"If you meddle too much, you might lose your life." Kikyo said in a gloomy tone.

"What the hell do you want to do?" The stubble monk took a step back, and the strength of the bellflower terrified him.

"Living people can create a new era, but ...... It's a pity that your time, which is already dead, has long since stopped, and this is a fact that cannot be changed no matter what......"

The stubble monk sighed again, the damage caused by the backlash of the magic weapon brought him great trauma to his body.

After only holding on for a while, he was no longer able to do it, and could only fall to the ground unwillingly.

"Wow!"

When the young monk saw the stubble monk fall to the ground, he immediately hissed and fled into the depths of the forest.

"You actually say I'm ...... Too pathetic? ”

Kikyo couldn't help muttering to herself, the stubble monk's words made sense, but they weren't something she was willing to accept.

"Who?"

There was a sudden rustling sound in the grass not far away, and a petite orange figure kept retreating.

"Little Night...... You're ...... See? ”

Kikyo's face was calm, and he walked forward slowly, wanting to reach out and touch Xiaoya's frightened young face.

"Ahh

Kikyo's hand was still far away from Xiao Ye, and it was already stopped by this cry.

"I'm sorry for leaving you with such a terrible memory!" Kikyo's gaze contained a deep sadness.

"Monk, I'm sorry!"

Kikyo turned away, and as he passed by the stubble monk, a green light gathered in his hand and floated into his body.

"Saya, farewell!"

After saying such words, Kikyo left the place with a heart full of reluctance, without looking back.

"Am I doing something wrong? Maybe she still has her own concerns! It's time to stop. ”

At this time, the stubble monk raised his head and looked at the back of the lonely witch through the gap in the grass.

"Monk, you ...... Kikyo-sama! ”

Xiao Ye hurriedly ran over to support the stubble monk who was struggling to get up, and there was indescribable surprise and remorse on his little face.

"Do you think I'm dead?"

The stubble monk smiled reluctantly and explained, "In the last backlash, she suddenly stopped directly, and saved me without regard to her previous suspicions when she left, what a venerable shrine maiden who loves humanity deeply even after death!" ”

"Hey!"

Xiao Ye tilted her head cutely, and she didn't understand the stubble monk's explanation at all.

"Liangxian, this guy, left his master and ran away like this, it really made me very angry!"

The stubble monk looked in the direction of the young monk running away, first couldn't help but vent his emotions, and then said in a low tone: "Know how to protect yourself, this is actually the way I taught him to survive!" ”

"Monk-sama, what will happen to Kikyo-sama in the future?" Xiao Ye asked timidly.

She knew that her knee-jerk reaction just now had broken Kikyo's heart, but she was really scared!

"Maybe I will continue to travel and save the world!"

The stubble monk pondered for a moment, and said uncertainly: "But after fulfilling his wish, he may become a Buddha on the ground." ”
