Chapter XXVIII

"Old man, you say...... Kikyo is in ...... right now Over here? ”

Inuyasha asked in a deep voice, his expression looking quite serious, and Kagome, who was on the side, looked at him a little bewildered, opening her mouth but not being able to say anything.

Regarding the presence of bellflowers, Kagome's perception is quite complicated.

Previously, when Kikyo was resurrected, she lost her soul and fell into a state of no self-awareness, so she didn't know anything, and that was the end of the matter.

And after hearing Inuyasha say that Kikyo had rested, she felt a faint sigh of relief in addition to sympathy.

It's not sinister, but what girl would want to be the reincarnation of someone in the eyes of others? In the mind of a particular object, what about the position of a substitute for a certain person all the time?

Even if the other party is your past life, it is only a past life...... She sympathizes with the shrine maiden named Kikyo, but she thinks she is Sunset Kagome, not Kikyo.

But now, after hearing the news that Kikyo is still stranded in the world, she suddenly became complicated, and her heart was full of mixed feelings, and she couldn't tell what it was like.

"That's right, Master Inuyasha, if it weren't for what you said before, I would have thought I was wrongβ€”"

Grandpa Styka waved his arms vigorously, as if he wanted to increase the persuasiveness of his words.

"Just before Master Inuyasha arrived, about a few hours after you, the shrine maiden Kikyo and the owner of the demon horse Yanhoof came to this cottage together......"

"The owner of the demon horse? Why is it with Kikyo? Inuyasha showed enough acumen at this moment to capture the key point in an instant.

He subconsciously raised his head and looked at the divine steed and demon horse in the distance, although he subconsciously did not want to believe what the old man said, but if he assumed that what the old man said was true......

I can't even win a horse, so what about the owner of this horse?

Why did Kikyo act with that person? Is it dangerous?

"I don't know, but they did come together...... Master Inuyasha, you don't have to worry too much, I don't think the shrine maiden Kikyo looks like it's dangerous. ”

Grandpa Shenjia said in a deep voice.

"They came to the village a few hours before you arrived, but when the monsters attacked the village, Mica and I watched them from a distance to check around the village for a while, and then went to the back hill at the end of the village."

"Is there anything there? Grandpa Stygian? Sunset Kagome asked.

"This village is a demon slayer village, and the villagers in it are actually demon slayer masters...... They have mastered a special skill, that is, they use the fur, teeth, bones, and the like of the monsters they have killed to make weapons and armor, and then throw the remaining unusable parts into the stalactite cave in the mountain behind the end of the village to dispose of them. ”

Grandpa Stygian explained in detail-

"So there is actually a stalactite cave in the back mountain, which is very ancient...... In the eyes of the people of the village, it has the same effect as the well in the forest near Kaede Village, and it is also the place where the remains of youkai are disposed of. ”

Isn't that well in the forest near Kaede Village a bone-eating well?

Sunset Kagome thought for a moment, then noticed Inuyasha's expression, and then asked Grandpa Styka:

"In the eyes of the people in the village? …… Since the bellflower is specially here for the stalactite cave, there must be something special about it itself, right? ”

The Well of Eating Bones itself is not simple, it has the ability to travel through time and space, and Sunset Kagome relies on that well to constantly travel back and forth between the two time and space of the Warring States Period and the 21st century.

Now, however, she had heard of a cave that had a function similar to a bone-eating wellβ€”

Although it was only superficially suspected that it could devour the remains of youkai, it did not prevent her from using her imagination to make up her imagination and guess if there were other deeper functions in the cave.

It's not time traveling, it should be other special effects, and even the shrine maiden Kikyo has been specially found, who would believe that the cave has no secrets?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sneak a glance at Inuyasha's face again.

"Indeed, in fact that stalactite cave is hundreds of years old...... You may not know it, but the Jade of the Four Souls was first created there. ”

Grandpa Shenjia didn't sell it for too long, but he hesitated for a while, and honestly told the secret he knew.

"What?!"

"Jade ...... of the Four Souls"

"Where was it first created?!"

Everyone was really stunned, they looked at each other, each trying to confirm from the other's expressions that they had not just had auditory hallucinations, but it seemed that everyone had heard the same news.

This is completely different from what they imagined at the beginning, this village is not the place where jade was first "discovered", but the place where jade was first "created"?

In the final analysis, the reason why they came here was entirely because in the process of collecting the fragments of the four souls, they found that someone had taken the fragments one step ahead of them and others.

When I asked the local villagers, I got information that it was the work of the demon slayer, and the girl demon slayer also said that the jade of the four souls was first spread from her village.

So they naturally pursued the clues of the demon exterminator's haunting, and climbed the mountains and waded all the way to find it.

"Inuyasha, do you know about this?" Master Maitreya pondered for a long time, then turned his head to look at the half-demon boy.

"No, when I first learned about the existence of the Jade of the Four Souls, it was already guarded by Kikyo......" Inuyasha shook his head and said in a low voice.

He subconsciously clenched his fists, realizing that he had been ignoring a question all along, and he hadn't even thought about it at first, nor had he asked Kikyo about it.

How exactly is jade generated......

Where did it come from......

It's just that one day fifty years ago, he heard the news about the jade of the four souls that can improve the demon power of the monster, turn himself into a real monster, and realize all his ambitions and wishes, so he directly wanted to snatch it.

As for the other questions, he didn't even think about it, as if the existence of such a thing in the world was a matter of course.

"In other words, Kikyo is over there, I'm going to find her!"

The pensive Inuyasha suddenly raised his head, looked in the direction of the end of the village, and said categorically.

He didn't think that the shrine maiden wasn't dead, and that she was here, so he didn't notice it at all.

But even if he knew that Kikyo wasn't dead, it would be difficult for him to notice it, after all, the smell here was too strong, and Kikyo would definitely cover his whereabouts.

Although his sense of smell is sensitive, it is not so bad that he can be unreasonable, ignore interference, and directly lock on to any target object.

"Inuyasha ......"

Sunset Kagome blurted out, but as soon as she finished calling Inuyasha's name, she seemed to think of something and swallowed back the rest of the words.

Seeing this, Master Maitreya on the side couldn't help but shake his head.

He didn't expect that the matter would be able to involve the famous shrine maiden fifty years ago, and it seemed to be ......

Forget it, anyway, this kind of thing is not something that he can meddle in as an outsider, although he has some sympathy for Miss Kagome, but he can only pray for her in his heart.

"Kagome, I'm ......"

Inuyasha turned his head to look at the sailor-suited girl with a reluctant smile, and a strange emotion inexplicably emerged in his heart, and he opened his mouth to say something, but the dog's ears on the top of his head suddenly shook a few times-

"Watch out for the enemy! Maitreya, get down! ”

Inuyasha reacted quickly and grabbed Sunset Kagome's shoulders and violently pressed the girl's head, pressing it to the ground, and bowed himself at the same time.

On the other side, Master Maitreya almost didn't have time to think about it, and after hearing the warning, he made the same action.

As for the Little Fox Demon Qibao, it was because he grabbed Master Maitreya's shoulder and was able to escape the same catastrophe.

Click! Click! Click!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The roaring wind began to be counted from the moment it was heard, and in less than half a second, the violent attack had already arrived! Some huge flying object passed over their heads, bringing up a raging torrent!

Not far away, there was also the sound of the trees that were hugging thick and falling down directly by the waist, and the smoke and dust were filled for a while.

"Ahem, what is this...... "Sunset Kagome struggled to untangle Inuyasha's palm, she looked up, her face still covered in dust.

And because of this action, she happened to see the thing that had just attacked her and others-

A large boomerang, which was probably larger than that of a normal adult, whistling and spinning rapidly, flew diagonally back into the hands of a masked woman in a black tight-fitting battle outfit after attacking himself and the others.

Despite being masked, it was supposed to be a very young girl, with a single ponytail tied up by shiny black hair, and bright brown eyes.

However, what was revealed in those beautiful eyes was a strong hatred, and a strong killing intent that was not disguised at all, which was daunting.

"Are you Inuyasha? Come on! ”

"What?" Inuyasha, who was furious because of the sudden attack, was stunned for a moment, he hadn't gotten angry yet, so why did it seem like you had been treated unfairly?

"Huh? Is it coral? Grandpa Shenjia on his shoulder had already recognized the attacking demon slayer girl, and looked very surprised, "Why is she the only one who came back, this situation is very abnormal......"

"Hey, is that girl a copycat?"

After standing up, Kagome, who retreated as fast as she could, so as not to become a burden to Inuyasha's side, asked in surprise after hearing Grandpa Styka's words.

"Yes, but it seems that she is the only one who has returned, and she is so hateful to Master Inuyasha...... This could really be a trap, Master Inuyasha, please don't get into a dispute with Coral......"

"Flying bones!" With a roar, the giant boomerang had been thrown by the demon slayer girl with hatred and rage, with a whistling sound of breaking through the air.

"At this time, is it a matter for me not to argue with her?"

As soon as the half-demon boy gritted his teeth, he raised the demon knife that had changed in his hand and greeted him.

"Broken Teeth!"

Click!

After all, the two weapons were bone, so they didn't make any fierce and crisp sounds of gold and iron clashing, but the momentum effect caused by the collision was not compromised.

"Hmmβ€”β€”!!"

The sand and gravel flew everywhere, and the wind kicked up smoke and dust, and Inuyasha fell back and retreated several steps before he could stabilize his body and bounce the boomerang back with all his might.

"Broken Teeth are actually suppressed?" Maitreya exclaimed in amazement, and grabbed the rosary in his right hand, ready to liberate the wind acupoint at any moment.

Those who come are not good and those who are good do not come, and it seems that Inuyasha has no way to solve this problem on his own.

"Damn, you stinky, why are you attacking me?"

Holding the iron crumbling teeth again, Inuyasha asked in annoyance.

In the distance, the coral had already raised his hand and caught the giant boomerang that flew back again.

"Shut up! Half-demon! I want to avenge the people of the village! ”
