Chapter 163: The Dog God Reappears
"That is to say! You went to the fields of the village to make trouble in search of the lost ape god! ”
After listening to the explanations of the three monkeys, Inuyasha finally knew that they were the elves who served the ape god, and the ape god did exist. However, not long ago, due to a sudden lightning strike, the shrine caught fire, and the statue of the parasitic god of the ape god was taken away by whom.
"That's right, as the guardian elf of the shrine, we have always been protecting the shrine while cultivating, so the ape-lord is lost, and we must be responsible for finding it back!"
"But why do you think the villagers took the idol?"
"Because we know that the idol was buried in the field of the village by them, the ape god told us in a dream!"
"Me too!"
"I dreamed it too!"
"The ape-sama sued us that he was in a wet and dark place!"
"In a narrow, almost breathless place!"
"The smell of vegetables all around him is so bad that he can't stand it!"
The three little monkeys scrambled to reply.
"Well! Don't be in such a hurry, with Inuyasha's help, you'll definitely be able to find the idol in no time! By the way, I heard that there used to be a shrine of the dog god here, isn't it true? ”
Kagome glanced at Inuyasha, who was about to speak, and knew that the other party had lost interest because the so-called ape god had even taken away his own god statue, and it was obviously not a god with strong mana, probably something like an earthbound spirit, so he asked instead.
"Inujin! Well! I think I've heard from Ape God that it is said that it has been buried in the ground due to a flash flood, and I don't know if it's true! ”
"It's been too long, we're young, and we don't know much about the things about the dog god!"
"But the dog god does seem to have existed, otherwise those villagers wouldn't have come to you to deal with us, just want to know about the dog god, only the ape god knows best, although the ape god has weakened a lot due to the passage of time, but the previous memories are still retained!"
"Then after all, we're going to go to that ape-sama!"
As for the three little monkeys' mess, Inuyasha finally came to a conclusion, from helping the villagers drive the monkeys away, to helping the monkeys find the idols.
"What a nuisance!"
"Well! Does it matter! Speaking of which, I've walked so far and I'm a little hungry, so let's eat something first, and when I left just now, I brought the pickles that the villagers offered to Inuyasha, which is a pure natural green food! ”
In order to avoid Inuyasha and their many detours, Rywei even took out the plate of pickles.
"Ahh It's the divine glow of the ape-sama! Sure enough, Saru-sama is in the field in the village (*3)! ”
When the three little monkeys saw the pickles that Liwei had taken out, they exclaimed in unison.
"Impossible!"
"Why?"
Seeing the pickles, even Inuyasha thought that the ape god was in the fields in the village, but Ryo directly said that it was impossible, which made Inuyasha a little strange.
"Isn't that obvious! The pickles have been in the jar for a while, but the statue of the ape god may not have been lost at that time, and it is impossible for the pickles to be stained with the divine light of the ape god in the ground! ”
This was originally thought of by Kagome, but this time it was Rivi who spoiled it.
"Indeed, if the pickles were plucked from the ground before they were touched, then the idol of the ape god should be ......."
"Pickle jars!"
Everyone raised their heads in unison and said the same name in unison.
Now that they knew where the ape god statue really was, Inuyasha and the three little monkeys immediately rushed towards the village by the way they came.
"Ahh The adults of the province are back, monkeys, ah! Monkey! ”
The village chief, who saw Inuyasha's return, immediately greeted him, and then caught a glimpse of the three monkeys behind Inuyasha and looked a little panicked.
"Where did you get this pickle?"
Inuyasha asked, taking the plate of pickles from Rivi and handing it to the village chief.
"Ahh These pickles were taken out of my family's jar of pickles, what's the problem? ”
"Take us there!"
"Ah...... Be! ”
Everyone immediately followed the village chief to the warehouse in the backyard.
"Ahh It is the idol of the ape god and looks! Sure enough, you stole the statue of the ape-sama! ”
"Ahh Ape God-sama! ”
The three little monkeys immediately rushed to the stone pressed against the jar of pickles and shouted loudly, while looking at the village chief angrily.
"Ahh We didn't steal this stone, we picked it up outside the village, and it looked like it was perfect for pressing pickles, so I moved it back! ”
The village chief explained innocently.
"Hey, pour water on you!"
Maitreya poured a ladle of water to wash away the dust and stains from the idol, revealing the true face of the idol. Sure enough, as soon as the dust was washed away, the idol emitted a faint fluorescence, and at the same time, a white phantom emerged from the idol.
"Ahh Ape God-sama! We've finally found you! ”
Seeing a snow-white phantom with a white beard, the three little monkeys immediately pounced.
"This old man is the god of apes!"
Inuyasha looked at the old man on crutches with a look of disbelief, the other party did have divine power, but ...... It's too little, if you follow the ratio of youkai, it's even less than the demonic power of three little monkeys. Such a guy can even appear in the world, from a certain point of view, he can indeed be called a god, but unfortunately the most inconspicuous kind.
"Thank you, not only did you not blame them for their pranks, but you also helped me find out who I really am!"
The old man ape god came to Inuyasha and them, bowed slightly, and said gratefully.
"Where! Where! So, we have a question for you, which is about ......"
"I've heard from the children that you're looking for the Inugami and the Inugami Shrine! However, this red-clothed young man does have the unique smell of the dog god clan, I can't imagine that so many years have passed, and in this era of the end of the law, there are even dog monsters who have awakened the bloodline of the dog god clan! ”
The old man shrugged his nose at Inuyasha, then raised his head and said with nostalgia.
"It's just that the blood of the dog god in your body seems to have fallen into a deep sleep again after awakening for some reason!"
"Looks like you're still a little bit capable! When I lifted the seal of this little guy, I encountered the divine fire of the seal, and finally relied on the awakening bloodline to survive, but then that power disappeared again! ”
Inuyasha's fingers lightly scraped the head of Tamamo, who was squatting on his shoulder, and explained.
"This ...... This is...... White-faced golden-haired nine-tailed demon fox! How is it possible, how can this kind of monster appear in such an era! Yes...... No, it seems to be just a clone, could it be that you broke the seal of the nine-tailed demon fox in the first place, do you know what you are doing! How can you put this kind of thing out, as a dog god clan, you actually ......"
"Old man, you're saying Tamamo in that tone, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
Hearing the ape god's name for Kotamamo, Inuyasha flashed his claws and said angrily.
"Calm down, Inuyasha, the ape god has no ill will!"
Kagome soothed Inuyasha, turned to the ape god and said:
"Little Tamamo, she won't do evil, don't worry! Since the dog god is real, then the shrine of the legendary dog god in this village is also real, where is the dog god who came with you! ”
"Hmph, this little girl can talk! Of course the dog god is real.,That shrine is in the valley opposite the shrine where I live.,It used to be a hillside there.,It's a pity that it was washed away by a flash flood.,Well! Anyway, even if it doesn't collapse, the dog god won't be there anymore! ”
As if recalling something bad, the voice of the old man of the ape god was a little sad.
"Can you show us around?"
"Of course!"
The old man of the ape god turned to the village chief and continued:
"If you can worship me from now on, I can bless this village!"
"Of course, Ape God-sama!"
Knowing that the ape god not only really existed, but also promised to protect the village, the village chief happily agreed.
After explaining the matter to the village chief, the old man of the ape god took Inuyasha and the others to the valley opposite his burned shrine in the mountains again. The shrine of the ape god is occasionally worshipped, but the shrine of the disappeared dog god is completely forgotten and remains in the legend.
On the way, Inuyasha and the others also learned the truth about the disappearance of the dog god from the old man of the ape god.
The era of the end of the law is also divided into three stages.
The first stage is the lack of aura, in the case of more monks and less porridge, the divine power is not fully replenished, and the gods and most of the demons have left this world, but there are also a small number of people who are unwilling to leave, such as the ape god and dog god who came to this place, that is, they choose to stay and be one of them.
It's a pity that just after the gods and demons disappeared, the era of the end of the law immediately ushered in the second stage.
The passage of the plane was closed, and the already scarce spiritual power could not even be replenished. The dog god, who has strong divine power and personality, disappeared directly with the consumption of divine power, while the ape god parasitized his divine body on a stone full of spirituality, and survived in the form of a spirit body.
"This is it, that guy's shrine!"
By the creek in the center of the valley, you can faintly see the traces of flash floods and the broken tiles and debris scattered on the ground.
"Inuyasha, did you spot anything?"
Seeing Inuyasha walk to the center of the creek, crouch down and press his hands to the bottom of the water, his eyes closed, as if sensing something, Kagome asked curiously.
"Hmm!"
Hearing Kagome's voice, Inuyasha stood up silently, his eyes slowly opened, a smile on his face, the right hand that was holding the ground was not put away, but held flat in front of his eyes, clenched together into a fist, a trace of red blood, slowly dripping from his fingers, and fell into the stream.
"Inuyasha ......"
"Boom Boom ......"
There was no need to ask, just as Kagome had finished speaking, the entire valley shook violently, and the originally calm stream also tumbled violently as if it were boiling.
Countless white points of light floated out from the surrounding valley and the stream, and slowly flew to the center of the valley, slowly condensing together. Then, a huge white dog like a mountain faintly covered the entire sky.
"It's ...... Inujin! ”
The old man muttered as he looked at the white phantom that almost covered the entire sky. A
