Chapter 433: Female Ghost Village (I)
Chapter 433 ...... A village full of ghosts!? ”
Inuyasha scratched his head and repeated the words of the old villager in front of him.
"This is not a lie, I saw with my own eyes last night, when I went to the mountains to collect medicine and got lost, I wandered around, trying to find a way out, and before I knew it, I came to the swamp. When I arrived, some of the kids were carrying something up to the cliff and throwing it into the swamp! ”
Hearing Inuyasha's suspicions, the old villager hurriedly explained, repeating the scene he had seen with his own eyes last night.
Hearing this, Inuyasha and the others glanced at each other, and the suspicion in their eyes became even stronger. But it's not for the old villagers, the people of this era are still relatively simple, unlike the later generations, and the expression of the old villagers when they tell about their memories doesn't seem to be lying.
Moreover, the reason why the old man was related to the ghost was probably related to the thing that was thrown into the swamp.
"Really?"
"You can't be wrong, I know very well that what is being rolled in the mat is the corpse of a man, and the skin of the whole body has been peeled off!"
When the old villagers arrived here, they had completely fallen into the terrifying memories of last night, and their whole bodies were cold, and they hugged their arms.
"That's not something humans can do! Ghosts, it must have been those ghosts! ”
"How are you? Kikyo! ”
Inuyasha asked, turning his head to look at Kikyo beside him.
Kikyo shook his head lightly and replied.
"I didn't feel the breath of the Jade of the Four Souls, it shouldn't be the reason for the fragments of the Jade of the Four Souls!"
"Yes, if the Four Souls Jade Fragment was found so easily, Naraku wouldn't want to use Kagome's eyes!"
Inuyasha thinks about it, how can there be such luck, and according to the Akakosho, now Naraku is still short of the last fragment of the jade of the four souls, and the jade of the four souls can be collected completely. When the time comes, once he completely contaminates the jade of the four souls, he can obtain endless demonic power. Coupled with his body that can't die as long as he has demonic power, he will truly have the assets to fight against Inuyasha.
Kagome and the others also agreed with Inuyasha's method, and now there was still the last fragment of the Four Souls Jade, and they had to find it before Naraku, otherwise Naraku would become even more difficult to deal with. You know, there are two enemies that are more difficult than Naraku to deal with.
The Sixth Heaven Demon King, and the Eight Miscellaneous Snake who doesn't know when it will wake up from the seal.
Although they didn't get any information about Naraku and the Jade Fragments of the Four Souls, since there were youkai at work, they naturally wanted to investigate. From the perspective of time, the time when ** appeared seems to be the time of the collapse of Bailing Mountain. If there really is a youkai, it may have awakened because of Naraku's evil spirit.
In the end, Kikyo ended the conversation with the old villagers and promised to check the real situation of **.
"Now, we already know about this matter, let's go back and investigate, if there are really ghosts, we will definitely eliminate them!"
"Then thank you Lord Wu!"
Inuyasha and the others said goodbye to the old villagers and headed in the direction he had instructed them to go.
"The ghost? Get up, we've killed so many monsters along the way, but we haven't encountered a ghost once! ”
On the way, Inuyasha, who was holding the back of his head with both hands, muttered to himself.
"However, this body has not sensed anything similar in this vicinity, demonic energy, evil energy, miasma, or even resentment."
Cuizi's right hand gently scooped up a breeze, felt the breath in it, and said calmly.
"But what if it's true! We can't let go of any suspicious place, even Naraku doesn't know, maybe the place where the Jade Fragment of the Four Souls is located is wonderful! ”
Coral is cautious, due to her personality as a demon slayer, and she will not let go of any suspicious places. In the past, when she first joined the demon slayer, there were several times, all because of carelessness and ignoring some subtle points, and as a result, the guide was escaped, and even hurt the lives of more innocent people.
The lessons of the past are still fresh in my mind, and Coral will not make the same mistakes as before.
"Did you miss it, don't you let it go? Indeed, we can no longer afford to be careless! ”
For the carefulness and caution of the coral, Inuyasha nodded with great satisfaction. It is precisely because of Sango's rich experience and cautious personality that Inuyasha will always take her with him.
And in his heart, Coral is also the child with Kagome, only below Kikyo.
Just as everyone passed a river below the swamp of the old villager, suddenly, an evil aura flashed away. But Kikyo and Tsuiko both felt it clearly.
"It's ......"
"There is no doubt that it is evil spirit!"
"It's only for a moment, but it's really clear."
Kikyo and Tsuiko exchanged glances with each other and nodded, obviously acknowledging each other's feelings.
"If that's the case, it can't be wrong! Go! ”
The two inheritance witches both felt it, and this was naturally not an illusion. Inuyasha took the lead in rushing in the direction of Kikyo and Tsuiko, who sensed evil energy, and Mica and Tamamo instantly demonized, carrying Kagome and them close behind.
Because Sakurahime had already stayed in the village, and Mizuki, who had only been picked up yesterday, was also sent back to Kaede's village by Inuyasha in the morning, there were only Inuyasha, Kikyo, Tsuiko, Kagome, Sango, Nanako, and Irises who followed. Mica and tamamo don't need to be demonized as often as before. Only when necessary, will Kagome, Sango, and Nanako be carried.
Kikyo and Tsuiko fly with their own spells, while Iris, like Inuyasha, runs and jumps on their feet.
Soon, Inuyasha first felt a swampy area, on the opposite cliff, exactly like the old villager before.
"This should be the swamp where the old man threw his corpse!"
Kikyo landed on a rock beside Inuyasha, and gently covered his nose over the wide swamp. The ** smell emitted by the swamp itself is not smelly, especially when it comes to the thought that there are sunken corpses inside, it makes people feel even more disgusting.
"It should be here!"
Inuyasha sniffed the smell in the air, and although it had been a night, his sensitive sense of smell still smelled the smell of human blood in the ** smell emanating from the swamp body. The skin of the man who was connected to the old villager was peeled off, and it was easy to guess the source of the smell of blood.
After just sniffing it and confirming that the place was not wrong, Inuyasha held his breath, and not only that, but he also hugged Kikyo's body and jumped to a high ground with his waist in his hands.
Calamus, who came up from behind, and Tsuiko also stopped.
"This place is so unpleasant!"
Kagome jumped from the mica, and looked at the gray swamp below, although the water was clear enough to clearly see the silt below, but there was no sign of life, not even aquatic plants.
"The water of this swamp is coming down from a tributary above, and if I'm guessing correctly, I'm afraid it's by the river upstream!"
Inuyasha said while holding Kikyo's waist, feeling the slippery piece. Ever since he jumped up with Kikyo in his arms, his hand has never left Kikyo. Kikyo didn't object to Inuyasha's move to take the opportunity to rub oil, so he acquiesced in his actions.
"Then let's go, it's getting dark, if you're lucky, maybe you can stay overnight tonight!"
After destroying the ghosts, of course.
Holding Kikyo's waist, Inuyasha jumped up again and jumped towards the upper reaches of the river. Kagome and the others also returned to Mica and Tamamo, and chased after them. Soon, not far from the forest upstream, Inuyasha and they spotted traces of human activity. But it's not the main stream upstream, but the end of the forest behind that jutting cliff in the swamp.
In the dense trees, Inuyasha's gaze passed through the heavy foliage to the silhouette of a wooden building hidden in the depths.
"We don't need to look for it!"
However, just as Inuyasha arrived at the humble village along the forest path from the sky, from the woods ahead, several villages with bamboo baskets on their backs arrived at Inuyasha's bright fire rat robes that did not match the green of the woods at all. When they arrived at the outsiders, they seemed to be startled, and hurriedly turned around and ran towards the cottage where Inuyasha had arrived in the air.
"Inuyasha, how's it going?"
Riding on Mica, Kagome, who followed from behind, stopped at Inuyasha and Kikyo and asked.
"Well, the ghost didn't find it, but it did find a few suspicious people!"
Inuyasha replied back, and Kikyo took the opportunity to gently pat Inuyasha's large hand that was still on his waist, signaling him to let go of himself. Now that he has met someone else, Kikyo naturally won't let Inuyasha rub oil on him anymore.
"Someone with a suspicious look?"
"Sort of!"
Inuyasha shifted his gaze from Kagome to Kikyo.
"Kikyo, do you feel anything again?"
"Although it is very weak, there seems to be a faint demonic aura in the bodies of those two people just now!"
"There are other people who come to the 'ghost'! Hawkers, it's useless now, go ahead! ”
Seeing that Kikyo didn't seem to be sure, Inuyasha decided to go. Anyway, whether it's getting late or not, if you don't want to sleep in the wilderness, you can only go to the village in front of you.
However, it seems that it is no longer necessary. By the time Inuyasha and the others approached the village hidden deep in the forest in front of them, an old village had already arrived at the entrance with a dozen people.
……
"We've never heard of it. We are all people here, but we are just unfortunate people who have lost their children and husbands in the war, or whose homes have been destroyed, and who have gathered together to make ends meet! ”
In the humble house, the oldest village, who is also the head of this village, shook his head and explained after listening to Inuyasha that they were looking for **.
"Really?"
Inuyasha replied noncommittally, although it was very secretive, but he did feel the smell of the man here, probably the unfortunate unlucky ghost from yesterday. No, the old man in front of him is lying.
Unaware of the suspicions they had caused, Inuyasha enthusiastically kept them for the night.
"It's not early today, we have a rare outsider here, so let's invite guests to stay tonight!"
"Inuyasha?"
Kagome and the others looked at Inuyasha and asked.
"Well, you can sleep in the house, of course, it's better than sleeping in the open!"
Inuyasha's gaze swept over the group of young and beautiful children behind the old man. Although these people are a group of poor people who have lost their children and husbands in the war, Inuyasha's keen sense of smell can clearly feel that these people are still the same.
Hey, it seems like you could have a fantastic night tonight! Q
