Chapter 441: Kagura Appears
Chapter 441: Kagura Appears...... Leaving that happy and peaceful town, Inuyasha and his party set off again. It's autumn, but it's still very warm, and although it doesn't rain, the air doesn't seem dry.
With a hint of laziness, Kagome, who continues the adventure of the Sengoku period, has begun to slowly get used to this kind of work, but there is still some trouble in one thing.
That's eating!
Because it is impossible to cook when you are in the wild, you can only eat snacks brought from the modern era and game that Inuyasha catches from the mountains and rivers. Although the taste of grilled meat and grilled fish is very good, the wild vegetables and mushrooms are also very nutritious. But the absence of rice is a really big problem. After all, Kagome is from a modern day and is not used to this kind of work of just eating vegetables every day.
And after leaving that town, two days had passed, and because of the fact that the Shinano and Mikawa borders had been reached, there had been no slightly more prosperous towns for several days in a row, and even if a few villages were occasionally encountered, it was already past time to eat.
So, on this day, as the time approached noon, Kagome finally let out a complaint.
"Ah, I'm hungry!"
"Didn't you just eat fish?"
At the back of the line, Inuyasha, who was whispering to Tsuiko, heard Kagome's lamentation and asked strangely.
Inuyasha, who was always at the forefront of the original and Kikyo along, was deepening the relationship with Tsuiko while the iron was hot recently. It's a new addition, but Sara Ji, who is not there, is taken by Kikyo to teach about the practice of spiritual power, as well as some spells.
Kikyo used to practice in the Tower of Seals, and before she received the inheritance of the way to break demons, she had consulted many methods of cultivation, including the practice of using guò music to cast spells. Therefore, after seeing that Saraji could play such a beautiful flute, she took the initiative to become Saraji's master and passed on these spiritual paths buried in the depths of her memories to Saraji.
And in the middle, of course, is Kagome, Sango, and the mischievous Nanako. However, she is often absent, but takes Tamamo and Mica to play nearby, and occasionally goes to the deep mountains and dense forests to find a few innocent monsters to play with, and when she gets tired of it, she runs away to other places. Thanks to her, Inuyasha and the others have been eating wild game for the past few days, which is probably the reason why Kagome complained.
"But I didn't eat!"
Kagome touched her belly, in fact, her identity was not very hungry, it was just a psychological habit. I haven't eaten rice for a long time, and it's all meat, for a child, and it's also from modern times, there are few flowers who used to go on a diet to keep in shape. Every meal was meat, and I felt like those rude and savage boys.
Moreover, even though the body has slowly stopped growing, I always feel that the meat I eat will grow on my body every day. This is undoubtedly a nightmare for the young people who come from 500 years later.
So......
"I want to eat, I don't want to eat meat, and if I continue like this, I feel like I'm going to turn into meat!"
With a frightened look on her face, Kagome pinched her body with her hand. If it is, but not elsewhere.
"What a trouble, it's the first time I've seen someone who doesn't want to eat meat, but wants to eat!"
Inuyasha, who is a meatless and unhappy person, doesn't understand Kagome's thoughts at all, but often discusses with Kagome about the coral and others of that era five hundred years later, but nodded with some understanding.
Although, the Coral Man is also a carnivore no less than Inuyasha. On the other hand, Kikyo and Emerald generally eat vegetarian food, and their preference for meat is not as strong as that of Inuyasha and Coral.
It is an extremely humiliating thing to starve one's own people, even if it is just the willfulness of the other party. Inuyasha let go of her left hand on Tsuiko's waist and jumped into the sky with a slight kick, her eyes scanning the ground in front of her. As luck would have been, there was a village in the place where the forest had passed.
"Just bear with me a little longer, there seems to be a village ahead, and we're going there to rest and have lunch!"
Falling back to the ground, Inuyasha immediately addressed Kagome.
"Wow, that's great! Inuyasha, you really! ”
A cheering Kagome rushes to Inuyasha's side and immediately gives him a fragrant kiss.
Knowing that there was a village not far ahead, the group immediately quickened their pace, and soon passed through the forest in front of them, along a pipe, to a wooden building.
However, the lower village that appeared in front of them surprised Inuyasha and them.
"Hey, this village, something doesn't seem right!"
Coral muttered as he looked at the dilapidated village in front of him, as if it had just been in ruins after a war.
"Just like the villages I've been to before that have been attacked by an army of youkai!"
Kagome forgot to eat for a while, and replied very unbearably.
"Travelers from afar, it seems that you have come at the wrong time, we have just been attacked by youkai, and the priest of the village has also been killed, so we can't entertain you. Please forgive me! ”
He had long noticed that Inuyasha and his party were coming from the forest, and after realizing that they had no malicious intentions, an old man walked out of the ruined village.
"Is that the case again?"
The bellflower moth frowned slightly, apparently remembering the rumors that he had not found from the coral before.
"Listen to those high-ranking monks and priests who have been attacked one after another, is it the same here?"
"Well, it wasn't a big deal, but because the mages and priests were killed, those monsters that were originally sealed in the shrine also started to make trouble!"
The old man on crutches explained with a wry smile, his pleading gaze falling on Kikyo and Tsuiko, apparently asking the two witches to help get rid of the demons.
"That's why the village has become so desolate, like it's been war-torn up!"
Inuyasha walked around a few times and sniffed the air, and although it was faint, he did smell the scent that Kagura had deliberately left behind. As they had guessed, it seemed that Achiko wanted to get the same ability from the monks and priests as Kikyo to perceive the Jade Fragments of the Four Souls.
It's just that Inuyasha is still a little strange, Kikyo and Kagome's abilities are heavenly, if it is so easy to find someone who senses the fragments of the jade of the four souls, then fifty years ago, the jade of the four souls would not have caused such a big commotion, and in the end, it was not purified until it fell into the hands of the demon breaker Kikyo. Naraku, you shouldn't be so stupid. Sure enough, there may be a deeper reason in it.
But at present, this is just Inuyasha's speculation, and the real situation, I'm afraid only Naraku and Akako know. But the current situation is the closest to Kagura and Akako, and this opportunity must not be missed.
Just as Inuyasha was thinking about these things, there was a faint demonic aura from the shrine that had been reduced to ruins in the distance.
"That's ......"
Kagome walked in the direction of the shrine's ruins.
"A youkai who escaped from the seal!"
Inuyasha then replied, giving up his thoughts for a moment, and with Kikyo and the others, immediately came to the ruins on the hillside ahead. In the pile of ruins where you can vaguely see the outline of the shrine, there is a faint demonic aura.
There are only Cheng dù of the top-level to mid-level youkai, but it is this group of unpopular youkai who wantonly cause chaos in the village while the priest was killed and the local army was not there.
"Cut, is it just a bunch of miscellaneous youkai?"
Inuyasha spat disdainfully, his words were like a signal, and the group of restless youkai in the ruins immediately broke through the ruins above, opened their teeth and claws, and pounced on Inuyasha and them.
Inuyasha didn't even pull out the trace of the waning moon, so he opened the claws of his right hand and aimed at these miscellaneous youkai whose names he didn't even know, and swung them down fiercely.
"Soul Scattering Iron Claw!"
The air torn apart by the claws flew out five huge white wind blades, instantly tearing the youkai that had troubled the villagers to pieces. At the same time, the shrine, which had been reduced to ruins, was also cut open by the claw wind and turned into six parts.
"Thank you so much, please come to my house and let us entertain you!"
The old man who followed from behind, as well as the villagers who were still a little scared of Inuyasha and them, all changed their eyes to gratitude when Inuyasha destroyed the youkai. And the old man, who is also the head of this village, took the initiative to invite Inuyasha and them.
Because the yokai that had been plaguing the village had been destroyed, all the villagers delivered the best food from their families to the village chief's house, and then prepared a sumptuous lunch to entertain Inuyasha and them.
At the dinner table, when the white rice is finally eaten, Kagome has a happy smile on her face, which makes Inuyasha and the others happy. After eating for a while, Inuyasha put down his rice bowl a little and began to ask the village chief for information about the attack.
"Are there any similar incidents in the vicinity?"
"Yes, it's all such rumors!"
The reason is the solution of the youkai, and the old village chief, who had a relaxed expression, heard Inuyasha's words, and his face became gloomy again. He recalls the rumors he's heard over the past few years, and explains.
"Monks and priests have been killed one after another!"
"What the hell is going on, is there no eyewitness information?"
Kikyo, who was sitting on the right side of Inuyasha, put down the tea bowl and asked softly, the warm aura emanating from her body eased the gloom on the old village chief's face a lot.
"Well, there is this, according to the murderer, she is a beautiful person holding a baby, she wields a folding fan, and the storm that rolls up can destroy a qiē, no matter how powerful the mana is mages and priests, they will be killed!"
The old village chief stirred the fire in front of him with a piece of wood, and replied as he recalled. As soon as he finished his words, he caused Inuyasha to shake them.
"That...... Could it be ......?"
Coral hesitated, but did not dare to assert.
"Ah, it's Kagura, I do smell her!"
Inuyasha directly came out of his senses, he didn't have the same scruples as Sango. Even if Kagura kills someone, even if she doesn't kill her, Naraku will let the other youkai do it. Compared to the youkai who would destroy the village along with it, Kagura just killed the target monks and priests, and the result was already the best.
Otherwise, they would not have arrived in a deserted village, but a dead village.
"Then that baby is a child, I didn't expect it to be them!"
Kagome finally put down her job and said.
"Well, since this matter is really related to Naraku, then we can't ignore it! What's more, it's time for Kagura to come back to us! ”
Inuyasha again revives the decision he had made the other day to bring Kagura back to their side. Kikyo obviously agrees with Inuyasha's decision, Kagura's current strength is too weak for Naraku, even if there is a kwanna's existence, they can't take a chance and let Kagura stay with Naraku.
"Inuyasha is good, let's get rid of Akako first, and then let Kagura leave from Naraku's side, and now we don't need her to stay by Naraku's side anymore!"
"But where is Kagura now?"
Sango asked, her and the others' eyes all focused on Inuyasha. Q
