Chapter Twenty-Seven: Gathering

"This is it, Jade of the Four Souls...... It was created here in the first place, a creation made by the condensation of all the youkai here and her soul. ”

Holding the torch that burned quietly, Kikyo said softly.

Her cold voice was so low that it did not echo in the cavern, as if she were afraid of disturbing something sleeping.

"Look at the piercing injury in that heart, it was caused by the moment the jade of the four souls was spewed out."

"Well, I know ...... this"

Mo Chen sighed.

"So, this place has been around for hundreds of years, and there's nothing of value left, so what are we doing here?"

“…… Didn't you already guess it? As for your own problems, I have not mastered the purification technique for the four souls. ”

Kikyo was still staring at the contours of Miko Miko's face, her voice cold and calm.

"I can do that kind of thing, but I've never had any experience with it before, so I'm not sure what it will be......

"Then Miko-sama, if you come here for a walk, you will become sure?"

Mo Chen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "But Cuizi has been dead for hundreds of years, can he still play an intergenerational operation for you at this time?" ”

“……”

“……”

"I don't understand the strange words you say, and this place isn't completely meaningless......

Kikyo frowned slightly.

"Although Tsuiko and these monsters are dead, they are also alive and have not completely disappeared from this world."

As she spoke, she raised her other arm and spread out her jade-white palm to show the other party, among which lay a pink crystal jade piece.

Mo Chen: "......"

It seems that this is also the case, the countless monsters and Tsuiko fought to the death hundreds of years ago, and in the end, they all ended up together.

Tsuiko was devoured by the monsters, and at the last moment, the souls of the monsters were also extracted by her, fused with her own souls, and created the Jade of the Four Souls.

Theoretically, isn't the Jade of the Four Souls a collection of the souls of Tsuiko and the countless monsters? She and them have never disappeared from this world, let alone to the extent of their extinction.

Miko and those youkai have always existed, but in a different form.

"Well, you have a point...... But can I refuse? ”

Mo Chen pinched his chin, as if he was seriously thinking about something.

"Tsuiko's purification technique will make youkai lose their power, right? It's a pity that I don't have any intention of using the power of the Jade of the Four Souls to turn myself into an ordinary person. ”

With the power of the Jade of the Four Souls, ...... turn yourself into an ordinary person?

Kikyo was a little distracted for a moment, and she stared at him for a long time before turning her head, lowering her long eyelashes, and saying nothing.

After a long while, she acted as if nothing had happened, and just said lightly: "That's true, but you're not a monster now, and what you hold is still spiritual power, so there will be no problem." ”

"Really? Then why are you looking away and being silent for so long? ”

Mo Chen looked quite suspicious, and after thinking about it, he still shook his head vigorously: "Please forgive me for refusing this, after all, the sunk cost always feels too high, and I can't stand it ......."

"There's really no need to be so vigilant, and with the level of power you hold, it can't be eliminated in an instant, right?"

Kikyo couldn't help but sigh slightly, and then explained carefully.

"If you really don't believe it, then you can try it first, and if you sense that your power is losing during the purification process, it is not too late to refuse."

"Well, that seems to be the same thing......

Mo Chen frowned and thought about it, feeling that it seemed that it was indeed the truth, in this case, or he could indeed give it a try.

"If the Purification Technique can completely disempowering the target at once, Tsuiko won't end up like this."

Shaking her head slightly, the shrine maiden lowered her head to look at the Four Soul Fragments in her hand.

"And the fragments I purified can ensure that it will only attract the power of Ezuko after a while, and will not give those monsters a chance to wake up, so there will be no danger."

"That's so thoughtful...... Master Kikyo, I'm sorry for you. ”

Mo Chen chuckled a few times in a low voice, looked away to look at the situation around him, and then suddenly a strange thought flashed through his mind.

This is a relic from hundreds of years ago, and it has not been able to be destroyed to this day, so why did it disappear after 500 years? How is the history of fusion judged, and what happened?

The Himiko in the Dragon Triangle region that has survived for thousands of years and is still as strong as a god, the legendary entity of immortality in the Siberian wilderness, the blood orchid and the dragon king in the depths of Borneo, and the time and space ghosts that roam the earth of the world five hundred years ago......

But in modern times, some have either long since disappeared, while others have become legends despite their survival.

All in all, it doesn't seem to affect the normal society of modern times, and it has become the dark side of the world.

Vaguely, Mo Chen felt as if he had a little aura, but it was fleeting and he couldn't completely grasp it.

But at this moment, he vaguely noticed something moving outside the cave, glanced back, muttered for a while, and said:

"Wait, it looks like I misestimated before, and there's a little guy who missed it......"

"Don't worry, I seem to have some impression of this demonic aura, I remember that it should be a psychic two-tailed cat."

Kikyo was visibly aware of the movement outside the cave, but she had a thoughtful look on her face.

"It should be a certain monster raised by this demon slayer village itself, it seems to be called mica...... I've been here before and once met once. ”

"Mica...... Oh, I see. ”

Mo Chen blinked his eyes and thought about it.

It's not that he doesn't know about the existence of mica, it's just that he hasn't seen it in person before, and there is no way to put the demonic qi in the seat when he only knows one name.

"According to the people of this village, it has been there for a long time, and it is said that it may be a youkai tamed by the ancestors of the demon slayers...... You'll have to be careful not to let that demon horse get into a fight with it. ”

Kikyo said quite calmly.

In fact, it wasn't a monster tamed by the ancestors of the demon slayers, that little thing was actually the battle partner of the witch Tsuiko-Mo Chen smiled and didn't say this sentence.

After a long silence, he finally made a decision:

"Alright, let's get straight to it...... If this problem can be solved, then hello and hello everyone, I don't want to continue to dwell on this matter. ”

……

……

Time passed slowly, and the sky gradually became slightly overcast, and the haze of dark clouds obscured the sunlight.

The mountain wind of the hunt was blowing, and the sharp movement of the air currents made everyone's hair and clothes sway and sway.

"Oh my God...... What the hell is wrong with this cottage? ”

Standing at the breached gate of the cottage and looking at the tragic situation inside, the girl in the sailor suit subconsciously covered her mouth.

The tragic situation inside made people feel unbearable to look at directly, and it also made her, who had seen a lot of things, almost feel the urge to vomit.

"Fight with the monsters, only to end up with the same death?"

The handsome Maitreya Master with black broken hair, a small braid at the ends, a tin staff in his hand, and a blue-black robe frowned.

"No, the people must be dead, but it's impossible to say if the monsters that attacked the village are dead...... It's not a doom at all. ”

Inuyasha shook his head, disagreeing with the idea that they would all end up together.

"This cottage must be the demon slayer village we are looking for, but why...... That's a coincidence, isn't it? ”

Everyone discussed, and then prepared to disperse to check the situation inside the cottage, but suddenly heard some strange movements.

The sound of fighting in the distance made everyone immediately subconsciously vigilant, and Inuyasha pulled out his iron broken teeth at once, and the tattered katana turned into a majestic tooth sword.

It was also four feet on the flames, a huge cat demon and a tall white demon horse were chasing like lightning, fighting all the way.

"It's ...... Surviving youkai? ”

Inuyasha frowned and clenched the demon knife in his hand.

"Hey, this voice is...... Master Inuyasha? ”

At this time, the voice of a familiar old man also sounded, and the huge cat demon suddenly burst out with a scorching ring of fire, forcing the divine horse to retreat at the same time, he also quickly retreated like lightning to widen the distance.

"Master Inuyasha, don't be nervous, it's not an enemy."

Looking at the scene of the huge cat demon flying over quickly, Inuyasha and the others subconsciously held their weapons and prepared to attack, but the familiar voice sounded on the cat demon's body again.

After being stunned for a moment, Inuyasha finally remembered whose voice it was: "Old man Styka, it turned out to be you." ”

He suddenly put his mind at ease, Shenjia is a very small flea monster, and he is also his father's retainer, although the critical moment is very unreliable, but there is nothing to say about loyalty.

Since it's this guy, it means that this cat demon is indeed harmless.

After the usual scene of jumping on Inuyasha's face to suck blood, and then being slapped all over the place, the old man finally began to explain to everyone:

"This is the hermitage of demon slayers, and the people of this village have lived by slaying demons and exorcism in their lives, so they have formed bonds with many monsters...... Master Inuyasha, you're late, this village has been bloodied by monsters before. ”

"It's just that I think the timing of their attack is too abnormal, and it just so happens that a few masters of the village and a group of young and strong people were called to the nearby city to see the demon to eliminate the demon, and this is the time when the village's defense is the weakest......"

"I feel very uneasy, because until now, the people who went to the city have not returned, and I am afraid that something ......bad has happened to them."

Inuyasha and the others frowned, and after listening to the words of the old man, they all looked at the cute cat demon that had become small and exquisite, and then looked at the demon horse that was suspended in mid-air after pulling away.

"And this cat is raised by the people of the village? Is that horse a youkai left over from the previous attack on the village? ”

"Well, it's not ...... It wasn't really going to fight with Mica just now, it's just that the competitiveness of both of them has come up. ”

The old man hesitated for a moment, he stood on Inuyasha's shoulder, watching his young master clench his iron teeth with great vigour.

"It's not for me to say, Master Inuyasha, I think that horse should be a demon horse that appeared many years ago, it was originally sealed, I don't know why it ran out again...... I'm afraid you won't be able to beat it with the level of mastery you have now. ”

“…… Ha? Dead old man, what are you talking about, I can't beat a horse? ”

"It's too fast, don't mention Master Inuyasha, you haven't really mastered the wind yet...... Even if you master it, you won't necessarily be able to threaten it. ”

Styka shook his head vigorously, very unoptimistic about Inuyasha's current win rate.

"And its owner is still in the back hill of the village, so I think it's better not to provoke it...... By the way, Master Inuyasha, that, that......"

"Dead old man, if you have anything to say, just say it!" Inuyasha, who felt that he was being underestimated, jumped out of his temples with a few crosses.

"Well, that's right, I think I saw the shrine maiden Kikyo before...... She is now at the back of the village. ”

"What?!" ×2

Inuyasha and Sunset Kagome were both stunned at the same time, their pupils constricting violently.

At the same time, on the other side of the mountain, a tall and slender girl demon slayer was dragging her dying body with great difficulty, moving in the direction of the village.

Beside her, a man in white baboon fur laughed meaningfully.
