An old man with a goatee on his chin is telling strange stories to the guests who come to worship at the shrine.

It belongs to the war-torn Warring States Period, the story between humans and demons. Those stories were very fascinating under the old man's words, as if he had experienced them himself.

The old man spoke with spit and the guests listened very attentively.

Not only that, but from time to time he nodded and let out a burst of exclamation, looking like he suddenly realized and thought it was true.

Only sitting next to him, a young girl of sixteen or seventeen years old yawned boredly. There's nothing wrong with the stories themselves, it's just that the stories are what girls grew up listening to. No matter how good a story is, you will get bored after listening to it so many times.

That's right, the girl is the old man's granddaughter Kagome.

It's hard to connect the two based on their looks alone.

After the story was told, everyone was still unsatisfied and wanted to be a part of the story.

Seeing this, the old man smiled mysteriously at everyone, and the thief took out a pendant with a bead from the box behind him and sold it.

"It's... It's the jade of the four souls that the monsters in the story just now wanted. As long as you wear this jade of the four souls, you can definitely bless the family with peace and prosperity. ”

"Boss, that's obviously a key ring..."

A discordant voice complained.

"No, this is the Jade of the Four Souls?! It's a treasure! The old man forcibly argued with a serious face.

Even his granddaughter Kagome, who was sitting next to him, couldn't stand it, and rolled her eyes angrily.

"But he's still a keyring..."

The old man glared angrily, and it was a certain bear child who spoke.

In the end, the jade of the four souls in the old man's mouth was still not sold, and people in the early 90s were the era when they didn't believe in ghosts, gods, demons, and evil spirits.

Besides, this old man is clearly deceiving, who wants to be the wronged leader.

In the end, no one bought the jade of the four souls, which could keep the house safe, and the pilgrims bought some souvenirs unique to the shrine and left.

"Are you sure you want to sell this? Ji Jiang "The pilgrims dispersed, and Kagome took the ornament of the "Jade of the Four Souls" in his grandfather's mouth, which was actually a key ring, and shook it in front of his eyes.

It's really just an ordinary keychain...

"Didn't I say it, this kind of key ring is not popular now."

"This is not an ordinary keyring, this is the Jade of the Four Souls... It's..."

The old man Balabala begins to tell the story about the Jade of the Four Souls, and Kagome teases the cat with the keyring, a fat cat with a big flower.

"Uh-huh...," a cough drew Kagome's attention.

"The Jade of the Four Souls is our Sunset Family for generations..."

Keep teasing the cat.

"Forget it, forget it. You young people..."Ji Chan tsundere.

"I'm sorry." A voice interrupted the conversation between the grandfather and grandson.

Kagome turned her head, and at some point, a harmless young man with a laughing voice was standing behind them.

So handsome...

Rao is usually not interested in boys Kagome can't help but blush, there is an inexplicable affinity in that person.

"What's the matter with this guest?"

"Can you show me the Jade of the Four Souls you just mentioned?" Gerf pointed to the "key ring" that Kagome was holding in his hand.

"This guest is really discerning..."

Kagome's grandfather immediately turned into a merchant in the city, telling the story of the Sunset Shrine and the Jade of the Four Souls.

Jelf put the Jade of the Four Souls in his hand and looked at it carefully for a while, then returned it to Kagome.

"Keep it well." When it was put back in Kagome's hand, it seemed to be full of some deep meaning.

"This guest, as long as 10,000 yuan, you can bring home this piece of Four Souls Jade that can keep the family house safe." Seeing that Jelv turned to leave, Kagome's grandfather hurriedly opened his mouth to stay.

"No, only 5000!"

“1000！ You can't buy 1000 yuan, you can't buy it at a loss, you can't be fooled! ”

“...”

Kagome looked at the "key ring" in his hand, and then at the distant back.

"What a strange guest."

"Don't talk about this, does Grandpa remember what day it is?"

"Of course I remember, my precious granddaughter's birthday."

"Gifts, gifts!"

...

Nippon Shrine, the oldest look in Ito City. A thousand-year-old tree, an ancient well that is said to lead directly to the ground. It is the symbol of this shrine.

Kagome has lived here since she was a child.

This is where it all began.

"Kusata... Kusata, what are you doing here? If you don't go to school, you'll be late. ”

Standing at the entrance, Kagome was educating her younger brother with her bag on her back and her hands on her hips.

"It's Chubby..."

"What's wrong with Chubby?"

"What's wrong with Chubby?"

Chubby is the big fat cat that Kagome teased before.

Kusata's voice was already crying, pointing to a place at the shrine: "Where did it go..."

Kagome followed his gaze and it was a dark hut. The shrine's legend says that the ancient well that leads directly to the ground is in the center of the hut.

"I'm going to find it."

"Don't go..."Kusata tugged at her sister's clothes, "There's a monster in there." ”

"What are you talking about, it was all Grandpa's lie to you when he was drunk. Where are some monsters in this world? With that, Kagome, who was the elder sister, walked into the cabin.

Kagome expressed deep feelings for his grandfather's bad character, and you have seen whose grandfather gave his granddaughter a birthday gift to the palm of the air-dried "kappa"!

There was a noise from inside the hut.

"Youkai?!" The grass was too frightened to grab her sister's clothes.

"That's a cat..."

Kagome said angrily, she was already desperate for her brother's guts.

Suddenly, the hairy touch on her calf made Kagome not only scream.

If you look closely, it turns out that it was the "culprit" Xiaopang who let them come to the hut.

"Caught." Kagome picked up the fat cat and said to her younger brother Kusata.

Behind her, her back happened to be facing a boxy and sealed ancient well.

This ancient well had a resounding name hundreds of years ago.

The Well of Eating Bones.

A bridge between the modern and the ancient.

The sound of rustling sounded again.

Carefully recognized, the voice actually came from the ancient well behind him!

In a flash of light, the wooden plank covering the ancient well broke in an instant.

Suddenly, the wind raged in the room, and Kagome only felt a thousand hands grasping her body, and her body involuntarily fell backwards.

Behind him is the ancient well!

At the moment when she was pulled into the bottom of the well, Kagome vaguely saw a figure standing outside the door.

Under the sunlight, Kagome could vaguely recognize the identity of the other party.

It was the strange guest from yesterday.
