Chapter 45: The Truth
"Yes, I'm the shrine maiden of the temple - Sohime!"
From the cluster of light, a mysterious and solemn voice floated out.
"You're the Tooth King and the Child of Sixteen Nights!"
"Well, you know my parents?"
Inuyasha casually opened an enchantment, and after such a long time, the suction had disappeared, and the situation of the shallots had stabilized, so he didn't have to be so careful.
"Before I hid Penglai Island in the barrier, I had a relationship with your father and mother, and when the two of them fell in love, I was the first to know! I just didn't expect to meet their children today! What happened to your parents, I had already conveyed the news of the call for help, why did they come after two hundred years, the King of Fighting Teeth? ”
Sotahime's soul flew around Inuyasha, as if carefully observing Inuyasha. Finally, he stopped in front of Inuyasha and asked in a low voice. It seems that her relationship with the Tooth King and Sixteen Nights was really good at the beginning, otherwise she wouldn't have asked Inuyasha in such a reproachful tone.
"Dead!"
Inuyasha returned calmly.
"Dead?"
"Well, my father died when I was just born, and I heard my mother say that it was to protect us, fight with a strong one, and finally die together! My mom died of illness when I was seven years old! ”
Inuyasha looked at the violently trembling ball of light, his voice was still calm, more than a hundred years had passed, and he was used to it.
"Uh......h Yes! Sotahime-sama! Is it Sotahime-sama? ”
At this moment, the shallot, which had been replenished by Inuyasha's demonic power, finally slowly opened her eyes and saw the light cluster floating in front of Inuyasha, and the familiar and intimate feeling made her recognize Sohime's identity at once.
"Shallot, I'm sorry to make you what you are today!"
"No, Sohime-sama, it's not your fault!"
Shallot struggled for a moment, jumped out of Inuyasha's arms, and stood in front of Sohime's soul light. Fortunately, Inuyasha had laid down an enchantment before, and she had restored some of the demon power of the shallot, otherwise she would be in danger.
"Gossip will be put in the back first, tell me what happened on this island, although I heard her mention it, but it is still a little unclear!"
Inuyasha also stood up and walked over to Ashalon's side, looking at Sohime.
"Also, the way you look now feels strange to me! Obviously, the breath of the soul is still so strong, but there is no spiritual power, what is going on? ”
"You've found out!"
There was a hint of helplessness in Sohime's voice, but he didn't explain, but told Inuyasha's first question in detail.
"A long time ago, this Penglai Island was a paradise where monsters and humans lived together, and many half-demon children were born! Everyone lived in harmony and lived a happy and peaceful life. However, the half-demon is alienated by humans and ostracized by the youkai, and it is very painful and difficult to survive in a place outside of this island, so in order to protect these half-demon children forever, I used the huge spiritual power absorbed by the island's artifact, the Furnace of Ringing, to completely isolate the island from the outside world! But once in fifty years, youkai will often attack when the barrier is weakened! The Four Fighting Gods bear the brunt! ”
"At that time, there was a river of blood, countless humans and youkai were killed, and only some half-demons who were not yet adults survived! I've also fought, but I'm still a human after all, and I can borrow the huge power of the Furnace of Sound at will, but after destroying countless youkai, my body has reached its limit, and that's when the Four Fighting Gods appeared! ”
"At that moment, I could only exchange my own life for forcibly using a power far beyond my own, sealing the source of the power of the Four Fighting Gods in the Furnace of Motion! But they found that by throwing the half-demons into the Furnace of Ringing and burning, their power could be restored a little! ”
"Why is it a half-demon!"
"As a half-demon, you should know very well! Originally, the spiritual power of human beings and the demonic power of monsters are mutually exclusive, but the half-demon can fuse these two powers, and the fusion of the two forces is the power that can drive the furnace of sound and be transformed by it! ”
Hearing this, Inuyasha probably got it right.
The Taoist priest cultivates the world's most primordial aura, and then transforms it into his own true yuan power, which is a power that contains both spiritual power and demonic power, the power of the soul and the body. Taoist magic, what is particular is that the sea is inclusive, the middle is peaceful, and the tolerance is a qiē. The furnace of sound is the furnace of Taoist alchemy, and the source of its power is of course, only the special spiritual power of the half-demon. And the spiritual power it transforms can only be withstood by the special body of the half-demon.
After all, for the real Taoist mana, Japan's spiritual power and demonic power belong to the evil sect, and the fusion of yin and yang is the right way!
"In other words, you didn't really die, it's just that your power was used to seal the Four Fighting Gods!"
"Hmmm! Although it is true that my physical body has collapsed and disappeared, with my strength, I can already form a spirit body! But no, I have to seal the Four Fighting Gods, you have no idea how terrifying the real power of the Four Fighting Gods is, and my spiritual power can't deal with them at all, because they ......"
"Because they're not monsters at all!"
Inuyasha spoke out on behalf of Sohime, and the previous speculation between him and Kikyo about the four fighting gods was finally confirmed after hearing Sohime's true story.
"You know! Yes, their true body is not a monster at all, but a trace of divine thought left by the four holy beasts of the East in the East, the Vermilion Bird in the South, the White Tiger in the West, and the Xuanwu in the North in the ancient era, fused with the pseudo-gods born of four powerful spirit beads! Long Luo is a green dragon, Fierce Luo is a Vermilion Bird, Beast Luo is a white tiger, and Gangluo is Xuanwu! And what I inherited is the way of sealing in the inheritance of the four great witches of the ancients, and it is okay to deal with ordinary monsters, but in the face of these four pseudo-gods, the power of my seal cannot pose a real threat to them at all! ”
"I see, when I fought with Gangluo before, and when Fierce Luo turned into a flame, I felt strange, it turned out that they were actually the instrument spirits born from the combination of the four holy beasts and magic weapons!"
Inuyasha's face finally showed a look of relief, since this was the case, he was sure that he would bring Sohime back to life again. As for the seal of the source of the power of the four fighting gods, it will be lifted when it is lifted, there are him and the bellflower, as well as the storage of the killing pill, just the four fighting gods, it is simply a hand! Their power is not affected by the so-called pseudo-gods.
"Sohime, the seal of the Four Fighting Gods is with you! Take it out! ”
"Do you want to...... Impossible, although your strength is indeed very strong, but after all, you are only one person, once the seal is lifted, their strength will be restored immediately, and I need time to form a spirit body, and then I can slowly recover my spiritual power, which will not help you at all! ”
"Don't worry, I'm not here alone, my wife Kikyo is on it, she, like you, has also inherited the inheritance of the four ancient witches, and moreover, it is also the first way to break the demons! The two of us are enough to kill the four fighting gods! ”
Inuyasha said confidently, he didn't expect that Sohime would be the same as Kikyo, and he was actually the one who inherited the witch's inheritance, although it was only the third-ranked sealing way, and the lethality was not as good as the demon breaking and purification that ranked first and second, but for all kinds of seals, as well as the ability of enchantment, it was definitely far above Kikyo.
In the end, Inuyasha gave the restless Sohime one last reassurance.
"Moreover, the killing pill is also here!"
"Killing Pill, the son of the Fighting Tooth King and Ling Yue Immortal Ji, he's here too!"
The news of the two heavyweights finally made Sohime settle down. As a shrine maiden who also inherited the way of the seal, she knows better than anyone the power of the way to break demons in the first place, and with the power of Sesshomaru and Inuyasha, the four fighting gods really don't have to worry.
However, what really surprised Sohime was that Inuyasha, a half-demon, not only had a strength that was not weaker than herself, but also had a witch wife who had inherited the way to break demons. When did the shrine maiden fall in love with a half-demon! Even if the other party's strength is really good, she herself is the one who has inherited the inheritance of the way to break the demons!
We haven't met yet, but Sohime has already developed a great interest in Kikyo! And, for Inuyasha, it's the same!
"Since the three of you are here, then I am relieved!"
The light of Sohime's soul slowly spread, revealing a delicate jade box inside.
"This is the jade box, the soul sealing box I used to seal the source of the power of the four fighting gods, and the runes on it are carved by me with my own life, I can't imagine that I will have the day to get it back!"
Sohime's soul light swirled around the jade box, and he let out a sigh.
"This is not the place to lift the seal, Sohime! Wait a minute, I have one last thing to do! ”
Just as Sohime was about to retrieve the power of her seal, Inuyasha suddenly stopped her, and at the same time turned around and pulled out the trace of the waning moon stuck in the rock, and walked to the edge of the rock at her feet.
"What's wrong?"
Sohime asked suspiciously, flying into the void in front of Inuyasha.
"Hey, although the Furnace of Noise has been defiled, there is one more thing that is very useful to me in it, which is what you call the real Red Lotus Fire!"
Inuyasha grasped the mark of the waning moon, and the huge demonic power slowly condensed into a smiling black vortex on the blade, and the combination of countless vortices turned the original silver blade into pure darkness, like the sky of the new moon, deep and far.
Nightfall! The third move of the Trace of the Waning Moon, and the only single attack Mystery!
"You want the flames buried in the deepest part of the furnace!"
To Inuyasha's surprise, Sohime actually guessed Inuyasha's intentions.
"You know?"
"When I first discovered the Ringing Forge on Penglai Island, it was not what it is now, but empty, with only a small, terrifying flame. I studied it for a long time before I discovered a broken thought and learned some of the ways to manipulate the furnace. These lava and flames were later created by the Four Fighting Gods when they tested the power of the furnace. ”
Although it was only a fragmented divine thought, the function of the Burning Furnace to refine impurities was still known to Sohime. It's just that Japan is too barren, and she doesn't know what can be used to refine it, so she uses the most basic ability to transform the aura of heaven and earth in the furnace of sound.
However, even this basic ability has already made Sohime, who is a human, have a strength comparable to that of a top-tier youkai at the age of less than twenty. From this, you can imagine how terrifying her spiritual power improvement is after she gets the Furnace of Ringing, and it is no wonder that it will cause the peeps of the monsters.
"However, the Furnace of Ringing, starting today, will completely disappear from this world (even if it is just an ordinary alchemy furnace, it should not stay in this place)!"
At this time, Zhang Yu and Inuyasha's consciousness reached a synchronization, reclaiming the things of his homeland, as well as pursuing more powerful powers.
The trace of the waning moon, which maintained the dark night, fell straight towards the magma river at the bottom of the furnace under the influence of gravity! G
