Chapter 25: My Eyes Can See the Future......
"That village...... It looks like a copycat. β
Seeing the outline of the "village" on the steep cliff of the mountain in front of him from a distance, Mo Chen couldn't help but complain.
There was a huge wall of thick and sturdy logs, and there were wooden posts fixed to the perimeter to form a shelf, and the shelves were inlaid with bladed and thorny horses, and there was an arrow tower that stood high at intervals......
Even if you have known such a place for a long time, it is impossible to feel the impact and shock more than the pictures you have seen from the comics and anime.
The huge log walls that enclose the entire top of the mountain look very neat from a distance, and each log is not as thick as a person hugging each other, and it is at least ten meters tall in straightness......
I want to pick them out, process them, and carry them all to the mountain, and form a huge log wall like this.
- The manpower required is unimaginable.
At least for such a backward era, such a remote place, I am afraid that it took several generations of strength to make this "walled city" on the mountain become what it is today.
"It's normal, this is a village where every family has been a demon slayer for generations, and the people who first discovered the Jade of the Four Souls are also the people of this village......"
The shrine maiden beside him also raised her head and explained softly.
She looked at the outline of the stockade on the mountain in the distance, and her eyes couldn't help but show a look of remembrance.
"They have passed down the art of using the fur and bones of yokai to make special armor and weapons for generations, and because of this, it is always easy to attract more yokai...... So they have to live in such a stockade. β
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
"Also, I saw a mining tycoon's house built inside the fortress, after all, I need to live in the fortress because I want to send people to work in the mines, and I also think I need to live in the fortress......"
Mo Chen nodded, as if he felt very reasonable.
Send people to work under the mines, and you have to worry that others will come to find opportunities and fight with you.
Now these villagers are not even facing people, but unimaginably ferocious monsters, if nothing is done......
Then this demon slayer village will not be able to be passed down from generation to generation. Although low-level monsters are easy to deal with, they are always an outlier and are not vegetarians.
Just like a hundred-legged demon woman, she has not been fully resurrected, and she can wreak havoc in the village of Kaede, and there is no way for Granny Kaede to be unprepared for a while.
It is true that Granny Kaede's own spiritual power qualifications are not very good, but considering that many villages do not even have very strong spiritual powers, there are even priests and witches who do not have much spiritual power.
For that kind of village, a hundred-legged demon woman is enough to make them lose a lot, and they don't even have the strength to fight back.
And the whole village of the demon slayer village is a demon slayer, but it is still a human being, once the number of those demons increases, it is also impossible to fight...... It can be said that it is necessary to spend a lot of effort on building fortifications.
At this time, a fresh breeze blew.
Mo Chen couldn't help blinking, then nodded thoughtfully, turned his head to the witch and said:
"Wait, there seems to be no one in the stockade, and ...... The smell of blood and death is quite strong, and it can drift far and wide with the wind. β
"Huh?!"
Kikyo's expression changed slightly, and then he looked at him deeply.
After hesitating for a moment, she asked softly, "What is the specific situation, can you sense it?" β
After getting along for the past few days, she also roughly understood the nature of the tendency embodied by the other party's spiritual power, just as her own is a pure "demon-breaking" characteristic, and the other party is embodied in the "natural" tendency.
When he did not deliberately create extreme weather such as thunder, ice and snow, the ubiquitous wind in nature was the best embodiment of his strength.
Therefore, although it was quite a long distance, since he said so, then I am afraid that something really happened to the demon slayer village, and the wind from afar brought information and informed him.
The young man nodded, not surprised by the message that the wind brought to him-
"There is a lot of bloody qi and a lot of demonic qi, and the whole village is there, not like a demon slayer village, but more like a giant lair where monsters are entrenched...... I'm sorry, but there's no smell of a living creature there. β
In short, the entire village is dead.
Mo Chen knew what was going on, that village was one of the future companions of Inuyasha and his party, the village of the demon slayer girl Sango.
She, her father, brother and others were commissioned to exclave demons, but they didn't expect it to be a trap designed by Naraku, so all the relatives except her died.
And when she and the other main forces left the village, Naraku gathered a large number of low-level youkai, and when the demon slayer village was empty, he washed the entire village in blood, killed all the people who stayed behind, and buckled the basin on the heads of Inuyasha and others.
Then he made Sango crazy and wanted to die with Inuyasha and the others...... That's basically it.,The methods used by Naraku from beginning to end haven't changed much.,It's just how easy to use and how despicable.,It's how to come.γ
It's impossible to face it head-on yourself, and it's the guy's top priority to consider taking advantage of others.
Coral is not the first, and it won't be the last, even Sesshomaru has been used by Naraku......
Therefore, that guy's strength has not reached the level of crushing everything, but it is a set of hatred to arouse it.
If it weren't for the fact that he desperately strengthened the turtle shell for himself, he hid all day long, and in the end, he even used such a means as a similar life box as separating his own heart-
Naraku had really been hacked to death a hundred times.
However, Mo Chen didn't have much emotional fluctuation about this, although the tragic situation of this village made him sympathize, but he thought to himself that he was not a savior, he would not feel that he had any responsibility, and it was his fault if he couldn't do it.
Taking a step back, if it weren't for Kikyo leading the way, he wouldn't even know where the location of the demon slayer village was.
"This shouldn't be, even if the main force of the village goes out, the village's defenses will not be easily breached...... But how could they not notice the signs of a large gathering of youkai? And it's very unusual for the yokai themselves to gather specifically to slaughter the village. β
The shrine maiden frowned, and then with a wave of her hand, she summoned the Soul Worm - she was worried about causing a misunderstanding, so when she approached the Demon Slayer's village, she chose to walk instead of using the Soul Worm to hurry.
But now, since there is no one left alive in that village, there is no need to take into account such details, and it is only right to rush over as soon as possible.
It's justβ
"What? You're not ready to go over? Kikyo asked, looking back at someone standing still motionless, frowning.
"This ...... I don't think I need to go there, you want to go to that village to see the place where the Jade of the Four Souls was created, but I have no interest in the Jade of the Four Souls. β
Mo Chen stretched out a finger and scratched his cheek lightly, considering the organizational language.
"Let's put it this way, when you go to this village, where else do you want to go?"
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
Kikyo stared at him quietly for a long time, and then asked calmly, "Do you have a place you want to go?" β
"Ahem, so to speak, I really don't think I should have a problem, and I do have my own things to do, so there's no way to go on like this......"
Mo Chen looked away and did not look at the shrine maiden.
He didn't know how he was judged to be a real Qu Ling Reserve, and once he was completely degraded and distorted, he could cause great harm to the world......
Well, even though for such a reason, considering the existence of such a living example as Naraku, he can also understand the shrine maiden's thoughts that he is not at ease with such a time bomb -
After all, Naraku is a Qu Ling who is full of four souls, and it is indeed full of malice from beginning to end, causing great harm to the world.
The most important thing is that Naraku was not particularly strong at the beginning, in the fifty years since his birth, his whereabouts are strange and insidious, but his strength is not really strong, and there has been little substantial progress in fifty years.
After all, it was just a "mongrel" that was born from the convergence of countless low-level monsters, and the quantitative change did not produce a qualitative change, but because of the mixed demon power and the overly chaotic composition, it was difficult for him to grow up.
It wasn't until the Jade of the Four Souls reappeared that he collected a large number of Four Soul Fragments and used the power in them uncontrollably, that his strength really began to grow by leaps and bounds, and he began to constantly split himself and create clones.
- Each doppelganger is quite powerful, and it is also the main enemy that Inuyasha and others will encounter many times during their journey to collect fragments.
But what about Mo Chen? As long as he insists on digesting the power that does not belong to him, his own ability will grow desperately without any threshold restrictions, and even now he is basically equivalent to the level of the Killing Pill.
If it continues, it will become a Qu Ling with the power of a god? What is this, the so-called evil god?
If he completely turns into a depraved and distorted Qu Ling, then Naraku or something will be a piece of cake compared to him.
This is also the reason why these two people suddenly teamed up, in fact, it was just that the witch was not at ease with Mo Chen, and it was impossible to let the latter move at will, and when they met again next time, they would become evil Qu Ling.
After all, in her opinion, if the other party took the most extreme path, then its threat level would be even more terrifying than the Jade of the Four Souls.
The jade itself is just a dead thing, and it is even the embodiment of the process of the struggle between the straight spirit and the qu spirit.
However, as a person who has all four souls and has embarked on the road of no return, then it is basically equivalent to the true appearance of the concept of Qu Ling.
It's just that understanding is understanding, but Mo Chen doesn't want to completely lose his freedom, he also has his own things to do, and it is impossible to completely follow the actions of the bellflower.
Besides, he can't stay in the Warring States Period all the time, and he always has to go back every now and then to update the news, so as not to be reported missing for too long without news.
What to do at that time?
Kikyo frowned slightly, she seemed to find it difficult to deal with such a problem explained by Mo Chen, she really didn't worry about the other party's problem, but the other party was not Qu Ling yet-
She couldn't do much more than observe and hope that she would be able to correct herself.
If she could be ruthless and solve the problem once and for all when it sprouts, she would not have saved the ghost spider back then, which would have led to a series of problems in the future.
Although Mo Chen has been very cooperative these days......
But after all, she has no way and no reason to ask the other party to cooperate with her so unilaterally.
She couldn't even bear to be restrained by the Sayyasha Rosary at the beginning, let alone a person who had only known her for a few days.
After thinking about it for a long time, the shrine maiden seemed to have made a decision.
She lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes twitched slightly, and she said in a calm tone, "Let's take a look at the demon master village first...... Don't worry, I won't let you be embarrassed by this. β
ββ¦β¦β
Mo Chen couldn't help but tug at the corners of his mouth, his eyes were slightly strange.
It sounds really reassuring, and Kikyo's words can be trusted.
But it doesn't seem like it's going to go their separate ways, otherwise, wouldn't it be good to separate here?
Inexplicably, Mo Chen subtly felt as if he had seen a part of the future.
