Chapter 197: The Origin of the Jade of the Four Souls
The rocks around the cave seemed to record the precipitation of time, and the blue barrier of enchantment shimmered.
The Burial River was still lying on its side, and there was silence around it, and a few birds were hissing in the distant sky.
......
The cave was full of broken bones, the remains of youkai were everywhere, the air was humid, and the light inside looked very dark.
The stone stalactites above the roof of the cave, the shadows reflected on the ground, create a terrifying atmosphere.
At the end of the cave is a strange stone statue made of many monsters, as if telling the story of the fierceness of the battle.
"What is this?"
Shippo looked up in amazement, as the sunlight passing through the roof of the cave cast a brilliant glow on the stone statue.
"This is the battle trace of evil ghosts, dragons, earth spiders, etc., countless monsters combined into one."
Reef sighed emotionally, and exclaimed, "Their purpose is just to bring down a person." ”
"There are mummies in the stalactites." Sunset Kagome seems to see a wrapped figure in the stone statue.
"She's gradually being devoured by youkai, such ancient armor...... Is it a former military general? ”
Maitreya had a solemn face, and the scene in front of him was worthy of respect, and it was likely that this was a hero who fought to the death against youkai.
"That's a woman, it's said to be a shrine maiden from hundreds of years ago...... Reef doesn't know the true identity of the woman in front of him, and the legends about her have been gradually faded with the Jade of the Four Souls.
"Miko Maiden!"
Sunset Kagome's expression was stunned, Kikyo is also a shrine maiden, and now she can basically be said to be a half-hung witch.
The air fell silent abruptly......
The scene in front of me is awe-inspiring, and there is only a moment of silence to remember this great woman.
"But...... The number of youkai that haunt this shrine maiden...... It's not a lot! ”
Inuyasha couldn't help but speak, and the fierceness of the other party's battle made him feel very shocked.
"She should be a witch with strong spiritual powers!"
Maitreya also sighed.
"When the world was still under the control of the aristocracy, many people died because of the long war and famine. Then...... Devouring corpses and weak humans, the number of yokai grows dramatically. ”
At this time, Coral stepped forward and continued to explain: "At that time, there were also many mages and generals doing things to eliminate demons and subdue demons, among them, this witch named Tsuiko should be a witch, using a spell that extracts the soul of a monster and purifies it, I heard that she was one of the most powerful demon slayers at that time. ”
"A spell to drain the soul and purify?"
"One?"
Sunset Kagome and Inuyasha have completely different focuses, but they both find the most important problem.
"Hmmm! I'll answer Miss Kagome's question first. ”
Coral nodded apologetically at Inuyasha, and after receiving the other party's understanding, said in a solemn tone, "Because everything in the world, whether it is a person, an animal, a tree, or a stone, is made up of four souls. ”
"Four souls...... Four souls? ”
Sunset Kagome's flexible thinking immediately linked it to the Jade of the Four Souls.
"I've seen this in the book, the so-called four souls are ......"
Maitreya lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then said in one breath: "Desolate souls, harmonious souls, strange souls, and fortunate souls, gather these into a soul, and if you stay in the body, you can become a heart." ”
"The 'Desolate Soul' is in charge of courage, the 'Harmony Soul' is in charge of family affection, the 'Strange Soul' is in charge of wisdom, and the 'Lucky Soul' is in charge of love."
"These four souls are used in a good direction, and they become righteous spirits to ensure that people's hearts can go to the right path, Inuyasha, do you understand?"
Maitreya deliberately named Inuyasha at the end because of his arrogant words the night before.
"What and what......"
Inuyasha's cheeks instantly flushed, obviously a little embarrassed in front of outsiders.
"I don't understand ...... at all"
However, Qibao was lying directly on the ground, and what Maitreya said was a book from heaven to his little head.
"Haha! If you do bad things, the four souls will be inclined to evil, and this spirit will become an evil spirit, and people will go to the evil path! ”
Reef patted Inuyasha the shoulder, and of the two youkai present, he was the only one who deserved to be reminded.
"That is to say, whether it is a human or a monster's soul, as long as it is a soul, it is a thought difference between good and bad."
Maitreya clasped his hands together and said in an extremely serious tone.
"Tsuiko is a very strong enemy for those youkai, because she purifies and dispowers even the souls of youkai."
Reef sighed, in the legend of the village, Tsuiko was really a particularly powerful witch.
"But...... She fought the monster army and eventually ran out of power, and as a result, she wasn't a big deal! ”
Inuyasha suddenly changed his tone at this time, thinking that Tsuiko was actually just a loser in the battle with youkai.
"No...... She hasn't lost yet! ”
Reef immediately retorted Inuyasha's rude words, grinned, and then pointed to the stalactite statue directly in front of him.
"They fought for 7 days and 7 nights, and Tsuiko finally began to be devoured by the monster, so Tsuiko used her last strength to extract the monster's soul, dissolve into her own soul, and pop out of the body."
I saw that in the stone statue of Cuizi wrapped by a group of demons in front of me, there was a hole with a large bowl in the chest.
Under the sunlight from the top of the cave, the entrance of the cave seems to be shining pink, which is extremely dazzling.
"The place where her soul is released is the hole in her chest!" Maitreya's expression became solemn in a blink of an eye.
"The thing that was released is what we are talking about now as the Jade of the Four Souls, and she didn't have time to purify the soul of the monster, because just to extract the soul of the monster has already exhausted her strength."
"Even if the body is destroyed, in the Jade of the Four Souls, the souls of Tsuiko and the monsters are still fighting fiercely, so they haven't decided the winner yet."
Sango's eyes are gloomy, this sad and weeping great woman deserves everyone's respect and misses.
"In the Jade of the Four Souls, the battle continues......" Sunset Kagome's expression was also full of sentimentality.
"Whatever...... Naraku will definitely come to grab it, you guys are talking about this matter more and more difficult to understand, as for the jade of the four souls, I will make good use of it to turn myself into a big monster, so that Cuizi can also go to reincarnation......"
However, before Inuyasha could finish speaking, his body was shrouded in a burst of blue light.
"What's going on?"
Inuyasha looked stunned as his body slowly floated before flying out of the cave.
"Ahh
The light in the cave flew by......
"Hmmm......"
The burial river, which was lying on the azure barrier of enchantment, immediately raised his head and dodged the unidentified object that attacked him in a hurry.
"Unexpectedly...... I was able to go in......"
At this time, the ripples on the enchantment were still spreading around, and the ripples emitted a strange energy, so Fuhe subconsciously put his hand on it, and suddenly found that he was able to enter.
