Chapter 378: The Jade Counterfeit of the Four Souls (Part II)
Text] Chapter 378 The Jade Fake of the Four Souls (Part ...... Looks like I've caught up, is this it! â
(I already know the truth of the matter, just leave it as it is and listen to my arrangement!) ďź
Just as Izumo took Kagome and the others to the place where he said he had found the youkai, Inuyasha caught up with him. The monster just now is a snake demon, and it's really with Izumo, and Izumo is indeed a priest, but at the same time, he is also a demon, a human during the day, and once it is night, he will become a half-demon of the Ox King.
After asking for the information he needed, Inuyasha easily killed the snake demon and chased after him.
"Hmmm! It was here that I 'handed over' the 'jade' of the four souls of the monsters! â
When Inuyasha came back so soon, Izumo suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, but he didn't see anything unusual from Inuyasha's appearance, so he only replied according to Inuyasha's words.
"There's no trace of a youkai!"
Kikyo walked around a few times and didn't find any obvious demonic aura.
"There is no aura similar to the 'jade' of the four souls!"
It seems that Izumo is indeed lying, from the time he was chased by the youkai to the time they came here, it was only less than ten minutes, in such a short period of time, it was impossible for those youkai who had obtained the 'jade' of the four souls to run that far.
"Maybe it's because it's a fake! Coral, there is nothing to be found! â
Inuyasha didn't feel the obvious demonic aura either, and then looked up at the coral who was riding on the mica and patrolling the sky.
"There's nothing out of the ordinary, it's just that there seems to be a village ahead!"
In the sky, Coral riding on the mica body pointed in the direction of the other side of the valley, and from her, the outline of the village in the distance could be clearly seen. It's just strange that she doesn't see a single active human.
Is it an illusion, I don't feel angry, and until now, I haven't seen a single person, it's almost noon, but there is not even a cooking smoke!
The coral on the mica looked at the village outside the valley from afar, and replied with some uncertainty, which made her have a bad premonition in her heart.
"Since we haven't found anything here, let's go over and take a look, maybe we can get some clues!"
Because he didn't feel any breath, Inuyasha didn't know that there was a village in front of him, which also showed that that village was indeed very strange.
"Are there any survivors?"
The village is not far away, and you can see it when you walk out of the valley, but when you come to the village, Inuyasha and them don't notice it, and the bad premonition of the coral becomes a reality.
"There's no one!"
"There is no sign of humanity at all!"
"Is something going on!"
Looking around the village, Kikyo and they didn't find anything, not only that, this village, it doesn't seem to be abandoned, judging from the decorations, at least a few days ago, there were still human habitants, and it was only for some reason that it suddenly disappeared overnight.
"How's it going, have you found anything?"
Inuyasha also descended from the sky and landed in the middle of Kikyo and asked.
"No, what about you?"
"I didn't find any demonic energy, but there was the smell of monsters, and it had been about two or three days!"
Inuyasha rubbed his nose, although he couldn't feel the demonic energy, but his nose could still smell the residual smell of the youkai, and fortunately it hadn't rained in the past few days, otherwise even if Inuyasha's nose was smart, after three days, plus the rain washing, the smell would have been gone a long time ago.
After telling what he had learned, Inuyasha's gaze circled around and asked with a frown.
"What about that guy?"
"Mr. Izumo? His words said that he would go to the shrine in the village! â
Kagome pointed to the hill at the back of the village, from which the stairs could be faintly visible. At this time, most shrines and other buildings seemed to have been built high up in the village, and not very far away.
Inuyasha followed the direction Kagome pointed, and soon came to the shrine, stepped up the stairs, and saw Izumo standing at the end. At this time, Izumo is covered with all kinds of birds, as if he is a comfortable tree.
"What are you doing?"
Although Inuyasha restrained his momentum, as soon as he spoke, a faint coercion of the superior still spread, although Izumo himself did not feel anything, but the bird's intuition of danger was much keen, and he immediately felt the extremely dangerous aura from Inuyasha's body, and they spread their wings and fled, flying away.
"Ahh
Izumo was a little disappointed to see the birds scared away, but it was Inuyasha's questioning words that worried him more than this.
"It is said that there is a god who can create a kingdom here, but ......"
Inuyasha looked along Izumo's line of sight, and he could clearly see the pair of ruins inside the shrine, which looked very messy.
"How is it in tatters?"
"The gods of the creation of the country?"
Kikyo and the others also walked up from behind, and Tsuiko approached the shrine, looked around, and repeated.
"From the heart of that god came the legend of strange souls and lucky souls!"
"Oh, is that so?"
Kagome lamented that in this day and age, listening to a priest tell the legends of the past always feels very fresh, much more sensational than listening to grandpa talk about the origin of those things at home.
Grandpa's origins are sometimes simply lies that have been punctured and broken, although there are also a few that are true, such as the bone-eating well that made her travel through time and space.
"Si Zhi's strange soul and Si Ai's lucky soul!"
Kikyo glanced at Izumo lightly, although he doubted the other party's purpose, but there was one thing this guy was not lying, he was indeed a knowledgeable priest.
"The desolate soul refers to the brave, and the soul refers to the kinship! With the addition of the strange soul and the lucky soul, it is the four souls, and the four souls of good and evil are combined into one, and the "jade" of the four souls can be formed! â
"But the 'jade' power of the four souls is related to the source of the four souls, right?"
Inuyasha retracted his gaze, he didn't find anything of value in the shrine.
"Well, the legendary first 'jade' of the four souls is hundreds of years ago, the most powerful witch 'girl' Cuizi, who used her life to seal countless demons, demons, ghosts, and ghosts together, and then formed, so she has the largest demonic power in the world. And if it is the "jade" of the four souls formed by the weak storage zĂ i, it will probably be the same as the one used by the monster before, not only is the demon power weak, but it is also a "sexual" product! â
Izumo once again gave Inuyasha a big surprise to them, and even Tsuiko was very clear about it. In that case, it is impossible for him not to know about Inuyasha and Kikyo.
At this point, everything is almost clear.
"Ah, Master!"
Just as Inuyasha and the others were about to expose Izumo and ask where the villagers were, a familiar voice came from a distance. Everyone looked back and saw that it was the current patriarch of the Western Demon Wolf Clan, Calamus, who had only separated not long ago.
Just as she had done when she left, the flamboyant 'girl' came with a roar, and in the midst of a tornado of frantically flying leaves, in the blink of an eye from the village below to the shrine above, appeared in front of Inuyasha and them.
"Master, you're finally here!"
Among the rapidly rotating leaves, the calamus slammed in front of everyone's eyes.
"Here?"
Inuyasha asked in surprise.
"Well, this is already the territory of the Western Demon Wolf Clan, although it is only close to the edge of the north!"
Calamus's body turned gracefully in place, drawing a large circle with his bare hands, as if describing the territory of the Western Demon Wolf Clan.
"Oh, it's already here, since this is the territory of the Western Demon Wolf Clan, then you should know what's going on here! Why have all the villagers of the village disappeared! â
Inuyasha suddenly realized that fifty years ago, he had indeed defeated the Demon Wolf Clan coalition in the area near Owari in Kai.
"I don't know much about this, I came out to patrol to find the traces of the Seven, because this is the most marginal area, so the first thing I patrol is here. However, I didn't find the seven-person team, but I saw a lot of other monsters, so I solved it! I was going to go back today, but I happened to smell your breath, Master, so lucky! â
Calamus said excitedly that it was a big surprise for her to meet Inuyasha here. But after hearing Inuyasha's question, she felt a little headache again.
"But it's strange, in the past few days of inspection, I have already eliminated all the monsters in this area, and this place, I only came three days ago, so there can't be any monsters, if there is, it must have been in the three days since I left! But even so, they should know that if they come here, they will definitely be cleared out by me, but why? â
Needless to guess, Calamus also smells the scent of youkai and is able to make the villagers of a village disappear in such a short period of time, without thinking twice except for a large number of youkai. After all, if it were humans, it would not be possible to take away only all of them, without even the slightest casualties.
At this moment, there was a sudden shout from the village below, accompanied by several wolf howls.
"Don't come here, stinking youkai!"
"Who, somebody, is there to save me...... Help me! â
"It's my wolves, they've found the surviving humans! Master, you wait here, I'll go back! â
Hearing the wolf's howl, Calamus hurriedly said to Inuyasha and them, and turned into a storm of green leaves, and disappeared in an instant, and soon the green storm returned, and returned to Inuyasha and them. The leaves spread out, revealing the calamus, and a little boy in the irises in her hand.
"I guess I was attacked by a youkai shortly after I left! My wolves smell a lot of youkai, but there's no blood, so they shouldn't be dead yet! Ask this guy for details! â
Coming to Inuyasha and them, Iris unceremoniously threw the boy to the ground and clapped his hands.
"Get out of here, don't come near me, I said that you monsters won't attack us humans, but why do you want to capture Mom and Dad!"
As soon as the boy who fell to the ground was out of the control of Calamus, he immediately wanted to escape, but he was surrounded by Calamus's white wolf in all directions, so he could only squat in place and shout in fear, but the trembling body "revealed" the fear in his heart.
"Hmph, you'd better be careful when you speak, our Western Demon Wolf Clan will not break our promise!"
"You still don't admit it, then why did the youkai attack us three days ago just the night after you left, it must be you! We were kind enough to entertain you, and you even let the monsters attack us, ungrateful stinky monsters! â
The little boy didn't seem to believe Calamus's words, and was still there yelling angrily.
"That...... You calm down first, okay! You said that the monsters attacked you, then you must have seen it, so among the monsters that attacked you, are there these white "colored" giant wolves, and there are monsters like this big sister? â
Seeing that the little boy didn't believe Calamus's words at all, Kikyo stood up in time and defended the Western Demon Wolf Clan. Q
