Chapter 42: The Origin of the Four Fighting Gods

Inuyasha hugged the little girl who was holding her neck, and followed the half-demon girl led by Kikyo with Kikyo and walked along the jungle path towards the inside of Penglai Island.

"My name is shallots, and I'm their sister!"

As she walked, the girl introduced her name, and then turned her gaze to the other half-demon children one by one.

"I'm Blue!"

The youngest girl sitting on Inuyasha's arm scrambled to say her name as soon as Ashalion's words fell, and she had a reassuring smile on her face all the time, and it seemed that in Inuyasha, she seemed to have found a sense of security that she had never felt before.

This also made the girl named Shallot and the other half-demon children feel more distressed, and the gaze at Inuyasha softened a lot.

"They're orange and green, asters and yellow!"

After Lan finished speaking, Shallot pointed his finger at the orange-haired twin boy with green hair, the boy with a pair of horns, and the yellow-green haired girl who followed the Kikyo who followed the long-knife on Inuyasha's waist curiously.

Listening to the introduction of the shallot, Inuyasha and his party quickly crossed the small mountain road that was not very long, and entered a huge empty valley, saying that it was a valley, but it was not sure, it should be regarded as a huge basin.

The basin is half a scattered and barren village, and half is a huge lake, and when you look closer, you can see that the village itself is built on various small islands on the lake, especially near the center of the lake, and every dozen steps you have to cross a simple wooden bridge.

The inside was not as dark and foggy as the outside, and the wind and sun were beautiful, as if the barrier had completely isolated the fog and evil energy from the outside world. But there was a faint sense of desolation in the air, and it was extremely uncomfortable.

"With such a big village, are there only a few of you left?"

It wasn't until he walked through the village and came to the altar-like platform in the innermost part that Inuyasha, who had never felt any other breath, finally couldn't help but ask.

"And those fireflies, they ...... It should be the soul of a half-demon! ”

And immediately after Inuyasha, Kikyo asked an unusually heavy question. Or, not a problem, but ...... Doubt! A sad and painful memory that people can't bear to touch, but have to mention!

Because not only shallots, but also other people, including Blue, who had been sitting on Inuyasha's arm, suddenly lowered their expressions after hearing Kikyo's words, and a sad feeling instantly spread, causing the faint fluorescence of the fireflies flying around to become faint and dim.

"You can see it!"

"It's related to the Four Fighting Gods!"

No doubt! Inuyasha's gaze and Kikyo's gaze intertwine in the air, conveying such a content.

The Four Fighting Gods have undoubtedly marked the hearts of the two of them with the mark of death, just because they made this group of half-demon children so sad, just because of the fireflies turned into by these half-demon souls, when they heard the name of the Four Fighting Gods, that kind of helplessness and despair.

"Penglai Island is a place of protection for half-demons created by the combination of humans and monsters, protected by an enchantment, no one can enter, and it is a peaceful and peaceful island."

The shallot's eyes became more and more ethereal, and with the faint melancholy narration revealed in her nightingale-like voice, the upheaval of Penglai Island two hundred years ago slowly spread to Inuyasha and bellflower.

"However, this small island protected by a natural barrier is not foolproof! Every fifty years, the barrier that protects the island weakens, and at that time, there are many youkai who want to explore the huge power hidden within the island of Pengrai, the Furnace of Ringing. ”

"The Furnace of Sound (*2)?"

Inuyasha and Kikyo looked at each other and wondered.

"It is an artifact with infinite power, and it is said that it contains the most powerful flame in the world, the Red Lotus Fire, which can refine the power of heaven and earth into the purest spiritual power! Guarded by each generation of shrine maidens from the island's temple, they provide spiritual power to protect the island's enchantment and fight against invaders! ”

"Four Fighting Gods! It's the strongest group of youkai who came to loot at that time! ”

"Hmm!"

Shallot nodded slightly, her face was full of bitterness, it seemed that the invasion of the four fighting gods had left an extremely deep impression on her.

"The shrine maiden who was in charge of guarding the Furnace of Tsunaru at the time was Sohime-sama!"

"Although she has the power of the Furnace of Ringing, Sohime-sama's energy is limited after all, and the power she can use cannot destroy so many youkai. The Four Fighting Gods have been insidiously hiding at the end, until all the youkai have been destroyed by Sohime-sama, and then they finally appear! Their strength is not comparable to those high-level top-level monsters at all, but is close to high-level middle-level big monsters! Their eldest brother, Long Luo, has even truly reached the level of a high-level big monster! ”

"But when they were older than us, their strength seemed to be nothing more than low-level big monsters!"

Inuyasha recalled the Gang Luo who fought with him, and the demonic strength of the guy who was already sadly bullied by Kikyo and Sesshomaru, and was a little puzzled.

Although the lifespan of monsters is much longer than that of humans, it is not so easy to improve their strength, in addition to excellent bloodlines, good talents, and unrelenting efforts, they also need some opportunities to truly break through the realm of big monsters! Moreover, after breaking through the realm of the big monster, the improvement of each rank is no longer something that can be broken through by simple effort! It takes time to accumulate and realize your own strength!

Inuyasha's ability to soar all the way in a hundred years, raising his strength to the point of a top-tier monster at an inhuman speed was obtained by Zhang Yuna in his previous life who inherited the essence of martial arts in China for thousands of years, as well as his perception of the power of heaven and earth. That's why he can be like a fish in water in this world where his spiritual power has not completely disappeared, and he will not hesitate to absorb the spiritual power scattered between heaven and earth, and exercise his strength reasonably! Because he has a shortcut to the source of power.

Therefore, Inuyasha would be surprised that Gangra and Fierce Luo would be suppressed by a whole rank.

"Because their souls have been sealed by Sohime-sama!"

"Seal (*2)?!"

Inuyasha's expression was still puzzled, but Kikyo, who had been listening to the side, showed a sudden expression.

"In order to destroy the Four Fighting Gods, Sohime-sama forcibly used spiritual power far beyond the limit that he could hold, and finally took away the soul of the Four Fighting Gods and sealed it in a jade box! However, Sohime-sama also exhausted all her strength, and her body completely collapsed under the huge spiritual power, and after throwing the jade box into the furnace of sounding, she died! ”

"Then why are the four fighting gods still there!"

If the souls were sealed, they wouldn't be able to reappear unless......

Inuyasha and Kikyo have a bad premonition in their hearts.

"I don't know! At that time, I personally saw four orbs flying out of the bodies of the four fighting gods, blue, red, white, and blue, and then they were sealed into the jade box! However, the Four Fighting Gods did not disappear, but reawakened after Sohime-sama entered the Furnace of Singing with the Jade Box! But their strength has decreased a lot, and moreover, the demonic power has been weakening over time! But without the protection of the shrine maiden, even if they are weakened, they are not something we can fight against. They also took the opportunity to defile the sacred Furnace of Motion, and in order to obtain the demonic power to sustain their existence, they found that they could obtain a huge amount of demonic power from our half-demons by throwing them into the huge furnace of the island, the Furnace of Motion. For even if the Furnace of Noise is defiled, it is not for them to enter, and only we, who have been guarded by the Furnace of Noise for generations, can activate its immense power. In this way, day after day, year after year, the population of the island was almost wiped out, and the once thriving village was deserted. So far, the only ones left are a few of us! ”

As expected, the two shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know the truth that the four fighting gods still existed, but from her words, it can be known that Song Ji has actually succeeded halfway, not only suppressing the strength of the four fighting gods, but also sealing the source of their demon power, if you wait until all the half-demons on the island are dead, without the four fighting gods supplemented by demon power, I believe I am afraid that they will really disappear in this world!

Of course, if the identity of the Four Fighting Gods is really as Inuyasha and Kikyo guessed!

"Why don't you run away? Since it was 200 years ago, you should have a few chances to escape! ”

"Even if the Four Fighting Gods are very strong, if you scatter and run away, you can always escape one or two!"

But after knowing the truth, Inuyasha and Kikyo have new doubts.

"Because of this!"

The twins' orange and green turned at the same time, and pulled back their spare clothes, revealing four bright red marks on them.

"It's ......"

"The mark of the Four Fighting Gods! As long as you are marked with this mark, you can't leave Penglai Island! ”

"The power of Sotohime-sama has not completely disappeared, and we have lived on Penglai Island since we were children, and we have become accustomed to the power of the Furnace of Ringing, so at the beginning, Lord Sohime's consciousness has not completely disappeared, and he can contact us with the spiritual power of the Furnace of Sound. When the barrier weakened for the first time after the Four Fighting Gods ruled Penglai Island, Sohime-sama sent a message to us, telling us to secretly escape from Penglai Island and ask for help from the outside world. It's a pity that except for the successor of Lord Sohime, everyone else was either killed or captured, and then, in order to make it impossible for us to escape, the four fighting gods put an inscription on us, so that we could not leave the barrier of Penglai Island!"

"Help? But you are half-demons, whether it is a monster or a human, it is impossible to accept you, so how can I let you go out and ask for help? ”

Not only Inuyasha, but even Kikyo was confused. With Inuyasha, a half-demon lover, she also knows a lot about the position of half-demons in this world. Half-demons are simply alien beings who are completely intolerant of monsters and humans, without their own place, without their own belonging, and no one will agree to accept them, except for themselves.

Penglai Island was attacked by monsters and became what it is today, which is proof of this.

"No, Sohime-sama said that there is another youkai who is willing to help us!"

"Youkai!"

"Hmmm! Sohime-sama said, ruling the country of the west, known as the demon world to rule the earth, the royal family - the dog monster clan, is the only monster in the world and the demon world willing to help us, according to Sohime-sama, she and the patriarch of the dog monster clan at that time were friends, with his friend's character, he will never allow the four fighting gods to rule Penglai Island! ”

"The patriarch of the canine monster clan!"

Inuyasha and Kikyo let out an exclamation in unison, even though they had heard so much amazing news before, they were not as shocked as this simple sentence.

The patriarch of the dog monster clan two hundred years ago was still known as the king of the Demon Continent that ruled the West Country, isn't that the father of Inuyasha, the dog general who won the title of general-Fighting Tooth King!

And Kikyo also understood why it was on the coast before, and the two top youkai said that they had inherited the will of their master and came to destroy the four fighting gods! It turned out that before Inuyasha's father died, he had received a call for help from the people sent out by Sohime, and he had already decided to go to destroy the four fighting gods, but unfortunately, before he could go, he was already ......
