In the dead of night, the moon is dark and the wind is high. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

There are not many vacant houses in the cottage of the demon slayer village, but there are always them, although the previous incident of Pei Chen forcibly seizing the jade fragments of the four souls made the good relationship between the two and the villagers fall to cold for a while, but after the two of them later rescued the coral, this bad relationship has finally been repaired to a certain extent.

In a room not far from the stalactite cave in the back mountain, the bellflower lay quietly on a bed made of soft rushes, and there was a clear look of confusion in his eyes. At this time, she suddenly saw out of the window on the wall, which should have been a dark moon and high wind, but now it was covered with pure light, as if there was some obvious glare source outside.

She let out a long sigh silently, then turned her eyes to a corner of the room and asked softly, "You...... Answered her prayers? ”

There was actually a Pei Chen in the room, or this one was the one during the day, he sat in the dark in the corner of the room with the long-bladed naginata, and only opened his eyes when he heard the voice of the witch, and said:

"To be precise, it was 'I' who answered her prayers...... If it were me, I wouldn't be able to do that much, I was in the world, I had the world in my heart, and my psychic ability was actually close to the level of the Great Prophecy, although the strength was far from enough, but if it was only a partial correction of something, it could still be done......"

As he spoke, he smiled a little, and he didn't know what he was feeling: "Resurrecting the dead, if it doesn't involve the laws of the cross-world level, it's really a very, very simple thing!" Many worlds of mystical realms may develop such a technology, such as the Resurrection Altar of Anubis, the Legendary Stone Platform of Narnia, the resurrection technique created by the collision of the realm of life magic and necromancy, and the various top elixirs of the Immortal Dao such as the Soul Rejuvenation Incense, the Rejuvenation Immortal Drink, and the Heavenly Fragrance Life Renewal Dew that you have also dabbled in......"

In fact, even on the scientific side, after making achievements in the consciousness of cells, genes, and quantum entanglement, there are also various alternate bodies that transfer consciousness such as amniotic fluid tanks and clones, and even cell resurrection technology......

- It's just that pure material technology is only the way of foreign objects after all, if it can't be intertwined with other mysterious realms to form rune technology, magic technology, cultivation technology and the like, then after such technology is used, it will be easy or inevitable to have a distinction involving the authenticity of the existence of the resurrected.

Because most of the resurrections on the mysterious side are directly locked to the essence of the soul, and then resurrect a certain existence, that is to say, after the resurrection, generally speaking, the person is still the original person. However, for example, if the cells of a deceased person are extracted through science and technology and a clone with the same memory is re-cultivated, it can be said that it is strictly a resurrection, but is this person still not the same person?

The question simply rises to a philosophical level.

"Then why don't you do it yourself?" Kikyo frowned slightly, she knew that the youkai in front of her was part of the emotion of the body consciousness, and the one outside was just a different side of the manifestation.

"Just as you refused me to give her a big resurrection technique directly, unless you directly tamper with history and pull people back from the past timeline, any resurrection method will cause certain side effects. You must know that the human soul is too fragile, and the resurrection will inevitably wear out its soul will, and ordinary people can probably only have one chance to be resurrected, and dying again in the future does not mean that they cannot continue to be resurrected, but will wear out the soul will be worn out to the extent that it is almost impossible to return to heaven......"

The monster talked eloquently, and he didn't mind going into more detail about Kikyo.

In other words, once you really die, then you will not even be qualified to enter reincarnation, and your soul will completely collapse between heaven and earth...... And even if it is an extraordinary life, once the spiritual mind can last forever in the world, once it is killed, it will only have a few more chances at most. It can be said that if there is no great power to help, unless it is the kind of existence that has honed the spiritual soul to the realm of immortality, then the resurrection will only be the potential and possibility of the future life to be consumed in advance......"

Speaking of which, Pei Chen's meaning was already very clear, he was not willing to spend that kind of effort for the sake of coral, and the idea of the same girl praying for just made the body move an idea, wanting to test the power of the contract that was woven according to the law of cause and effect and the laws of the world, and triggered by the power of hope and despair of the soul. As for what the cost of such a change will be for Coral, whether it will become a magical girl Coral Sauce or something, it's not something he cares about.

“……”

There was a pause in silence, and the shrine maiden stopped talking, and by this time the wishing light outside had faded, and the cold moonlight poured in from the window and reflected on her face. For a moment, the monster couldn't tell whether it was the moonlight that set off her, or whether she illuminated the moonlight.

"Before dawn tomorrow morning, let's go......" finally Kikyo said softly, and then turned his back to Pei Chen, and said no more.

"Okay, you can rest well, everything is with me." Pei Chen's gaze softened, and he responded softly as well.

He sat in the corner near the door of the room with his long-handled weapon, while the shrine maiden lay quietly on the soft corduroy bed inside. Even if it's just a temporary stay, Kikyo doesn't have any disdain, so the walls around it are covered with rune paper, which strengthens the structure of the house to the point where it is as hard as iron. - Taking a step back, even if there is an intruder, the first thing to face is Pei Chen's sharp naginata that kills everything.

Although he didn't speak anymore, the bellflower who turned around didn't fall asleep so easily.

She could feel that the gaze of the youkai behind her had never left her body, which made the shrine maiden feel a little annoyed, but more than that, there was a sense of peace and tranquility, as if she was shrouded in such a gaze, making her feel comfortable, safe, and peaceful......

Guarded, absolutely safe, no one can disturb or hurt themselves. Even Kikyo had never tried to feel this way before, and she had to be vigilant in her sleep, and the slightest disturbance would wake her up.

But before that, Kikyo didn't think there was anything wrong with this, because she was a shrine maiden who guarded the village, so she naturally had such a duty. But now, she's a shrine maiden guarded by youkai, and she's no longer a guardian but a guardian.

"What if...... That's it......" muttered so softly in her heart, the witch slowly closed her eyes, and the figure of a long black straight girl suddenly flashed in her mind. She smiled helplessly, then sighed faintly.

He is guarding not only himself, not only himself......

Maybe it's for this reason that I've always been a little resistant! Even if strictly speaking, in addition to himself, there is only one other person who is most important to the other party-

Lord of Imagawa.

……

……

Coral felt like she was having a happy dream.

Comfortable and gentle, and the laughter of the family, unforgettable memories and warm feelings filled with an ideal world. There is no sorrow and pain, no helplessness and loneliness, as if all the notions of 'bad' have been eliminated, only endless laughter, happiness and the purest blessings.

Until she inevitably woke up.

"What, this is ......" The voice was bitter and trembling, staring blankly at the familiar beams above, and two lines of tears slowly crossed the girl's face.

Maybe it was so unreal, so she thought she had a whimsical dream. Now when she woke up, she remembered the real 'reality' and suddenly felt a pain in her heart. In her opinion, this is already such a life, and last night's dream may be God's last mercy to herself, allowing her to have a happy dream. is also telling her that this is the world that she cherishes and guards, and is bidding farewell to herself......

She can't go back.

Stunned and in tears, Coral told himself that this is the last time, and when he is healed, he will go to find that half-demon Naraku, and pay for the blood debt! That brute should be damned...... However, before she could finish the whole sentence in her heart, she suddenly heard a familiar sound of footsteps, as if someone was running barefoot on the floor and coming into her room.

This voice is——!!

Sango's heart shook violently, and he subconsciously turned his head on the bed to look, only to see a young man with a sunny face running towards him, shouting loudly: "Sister, why don't you get up today, my father is going to be angry!" ”

“……”

"Sister! What happened to you? Why did you cry ......? Amber scrambled and panicked.

"......" without warning, the girl's tears flowed more cheerfully.

……

Wonderful, miracle and membrane ...... Magic is there!

Although Coral didn't know such a sentence, but her mood was indeed like this, sitting in front of the door of the wooden house with the well-behaved mica in her arms, watching her younger brother Amber being trained by her father in the open space in front of her, and not far away, the clansmen who should have died were holding farm tools or other tools, talking and laughing and waving to themselves......

The wounds on his body were completely gone, and when he asked his father and others, he found that they, like the rest of the villagers, had no memory of the experience of seeing the city. Everything is like a phantom of yesterday, it is all illusory and non-existent, and if it weren't for the fact that Coral had discovered the actual change in himself, he would probably have thought it would be a nightmare.

Staring at the clarifying soul gem in her hand, the girl raised her head and looked at the sky.

At one end of the rapidly floating clouds, a clear blue sky was revealed. A deep blue that seems to penetrate everything.

A world without any worries.

Eventually, she smiled calmly, put away the gem that contained the radiance of her soul, and then stood up and picked up the flying bone that had been set aside.

"Even if that's it...... That guy is still unforgivable! Feeling the new and powerful power in her body, the magical girl Sango-chan made up her mind.

……

……

The two of them, who had quietly left the Demon Slayer Village before dawn, were now close to the location where Renjian City was located.

Or rather, it is the location where the former Hitomi Castle was located.

Unable to find the location of the castle anyway, the youkai and the shrine maiden had already flown several laps around the nearby forest and mountains with a demon horse, and even if they calculated the distance in a straight line, it was enough to exhaust the world marathon champion three or four times.

The paper cranes attached to the spiritual power of the bellflower, as if they had gained life and spirituality, flew towards the wind in all directions, and scattered to various areas within a radius of dozens of miles.

Flame Hoof was suspended in mid-air, maintaining a height about ten meters higher than the surrounding rolling hills and forests, and Kikyo gently leaned on Pei Chen's arm to maintain balance on the horse. She closed her eyes and concentrated, and through the spiritual power attached to the hundreds of paper cranes, she spread her spiritual perception dozens of times and hundreds of times, searching the nearby area over and over again, intending to find out the people to see the city.

Her body is still not completely resurrected, and it is still the body of a terracotta figurine figurine fired by spirit bones and tomb soil through ghost magic and ghost kilns. It's just that before that, she deliberately went back to Kaede Village, and obtained scorched earth in the nearby cave to repair the wounds of her resentment, and at the same time made herself have an earth barrier specifically for Naraku - the enchantment laid by the soil of the ghost spider cave is long-lasting, and can wipe out any monsters related to Naraku.

- In the original plot, it was precisely because of this hand that she once forced Naraku into a dangerous situation where she could not hunt her, but could only be killed by her. But from the side, it was also because of this that the bellflower was taken lightly, which led to the serious injury of Bailingshan in the first battle, and it was even more difficult to return, which directly led to the complete extinction in the future.

Unless Naraku finds a way to completely eliminate the ingredient called 'Oni Spider' in her body, this situation will not be changed at all. Neither his demonic power nor the monsters related to him can harm Kikyo, which is equivalent to Kikyo having a permanent buff of 'immunity to Naraku'. And this buff can also make Kikyo double the attack damage of Naraku and the monsters related to him, and all of them are real damage that cannot be exempted.

It's no wonder that in the original book, Naraku tried his best to abandon the heart of the ghost spider, not only to make himself a complete big monster, but also to save his life. - You must know that a witch who is specifically eyeing herself and fighting fiercely, no matter how she fights back, she is all immune to damage, and she can easily hit herself with ten times or eight times the real crit damage, who can hold it?!

Fortunately, Naluo's children's shoes are extremely strong, and they were beaten out in minutes for others......

Quietly looking at the bellflower Shi Wei, Pei Chen didn't express much opinion, and waited until she shook her head silently before pulling the reins and turning the horse's head and flying in the other direction. From the time the sun had not yet begun to rise, to the present day, he had been doing this all the time, and he was already extremely skilled, and he didn't need Kikyo to continue to instruct at all.

But this time Kikyo stopped him: "Let's do it first, I have no way to confirm the specific location of Hitomi Castle for the time being......"

She frowned slightly, as if she was also a little confused. Previously, through the soil of the ghost spider cave, she could always sense Naraku's demonic energy, but this time it seemed to be ineffective. The evil aura and vague sense that permeated the surroundings made her sure that the city must be near here, but the city seemed to be in the same dust or the same stream as the surrounding area within a radius of tens of miles, so that she could not accurately distinguish it no matter what.

This is indeed an incredible thing for a bellflower who can feel the qi of humans or monsters by sight, and can distinguish between holiness and evil.

Because theoretically, even the four soul fragments or enchantments can be accurately identified by her, and this ability is the result of innate spiritual power and cultivation.

"Actually......" Pei Chen sighed.

"I've already said it, Pei Chen. This is something I have to solve on my own. The witch directly interrupted his words and said lightly: "You are only not allowed to make any remarks in this regard, or ...... You don't want me to be freed from my attachments? ”

"Okay......" said with a helpless wry smile, Pei Chen looked at the silhouette of a looming city in the distance, "So-what do you want to do next?" ”

The witch lowered her head, thought for a while, and pointed in the southwest direction: "When I came here before, it seemed that there was a village over there, and we settled there temporarily...... Then, unless the half-demon never plans to come out at all, I will definitely be able to search for traces of him. ”

"There...... Is it? Okay, I'll take you there. The sharp gaze of the youkai crossed the spatial distance, and when he saw the village pointed by Kikyo, he was stunned for a moment, and then he agreed, and showed an interested expression.

He took one last look back, and then flew away from here on the demon horse's firehoof.

Naraku's enchantment talent has finally lit up! It's lit up to this extent all at once, is it really pressure to have the motivation to progress?

……

The village is not big.

Ordinary people, there are no militias that can barely get by in terms of force and numbers, and there are no clergy such as witch goddess officials.

This means that they have to endure not only the harassment of the wild bandits that are everywhere in this era, but also the invasion of youkai that are everywhere in this era. Fortunately, there is a city like Renjian City nearby, which attracts and shares a large part of the hatred and firepower, otherwise this village would not have existed for more than three days.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this reason that the villagers are very repulsive to outsiders, especially the demon horse Yanhoof has greatly stimulated their fragile and sensitive nerves, and even the affinity of the bellflower has not been able to play a role in the first place.

But this is temporary after all, and people are always fickle.

After the witch showed her superb medical skills, and Pei Chen's performance of being able to scare away the large group of monsters in the mountains and forests without changing her expression quietly, the villagers still happily welcomed the two - after all, the demonic energy of the monsters has always been emanating, blinding the perception of ordinary people, and people without mysterious power cannot see the monster characteristics on his body. Yanho is a demon horse, but it is still a horse after all, anyway, Pei Chen has never seen it show interest in meat.

In fact, demonization is nothing more than the fact that the living form has developed intelligence and acquired demonic nature on the basis of the original, which is a kind of evolution rather than a genetic distortion and mutation. Just as apes evolved into humans, and other creatures evolved into yokai, from a scientific point of view, yokai can be regarded as a kind of parallel branch of evolution.

Unless it's the kind of demonization that has failed to demonize, the guy who is controlled by the violent chaos beast who wants to occupy the only evolutionary path will be extremely bloodthirsty and murderous. Because they don't have much wisdom anymore, and it's far from 'great wisdom like a demon', they can't be said to be monsters, but they should be demons to be precise. Other than that, the more normal youkai won't change their recipes inexplicably.

In these days, there is a lack of resources, and if there is nothing, there are many dead people.

As a result, there are quite a few vacant houses in the village.

Kikyo helped some of the villagers to see some of the symptoms, and after giving them a prescription by the way, they chose a vacant house to live in.

Pei Chen wanted to directly refresh the 'state' of this simple wooden house that had been vacant for a long time and was full of dust, but was stopped by Kikyo. I don't know why.,The shrine maiden seems to have the intention of cleaning up by herself.,It seems that she intends to live here for a while.。

"They don't have much medicine reserves, you go to the forest in this order to find some herbs and come back......" And because Pei Chen stood aside and watched, Kikyo didn't know why it was a little unnatural, so he directly found a reason to send the monster out temporarily.

"......" Pei Chen, who was a little confused, was helplessly pushed out of the door by the bellflower, and smiled bitterly, he always felt that the witch seemed to have behaved a little weirdly since last night.

However, this kind of thing can't be asked directly in a daze, so he can only suppress his doubts, and then pull Yan Hoof to the door of the house, in the strange eyes of those villagers, he and a horse are talking about some precautions and questions...... Talk to a horse! And the strangest thing was that the horse nodded again and again, as if he understood everything he said.

In the end, Pei Chen patted Yan Hoof's head, turned around and walked outside. Yanhoof triumphantly began to circle in front of the wooden house, kicking the most authentic pony steps, snorting and snorting, like a fierce dog guarding the door, and the villagers who were watching from afar were stunned for a while.

This is really a fucking demon!

The youkai walked leisurely in the direction of the outside of the village, looked around, and then followed a less obvious path into the nearby forest. He followed the instructions of the bellflower, and collected the herbs he needed along the way, and I have to say that in this era, because humans are not capable of large-scale exploitation of nature, many resources are relatively easy to find. In the afterlife, let alone medicinal herbs, it would be nice to be able to see a real forest near the place where people live.

But......

Pei Chen seemed to be traveling aimlessly, collecting herbs along the way, but in fact, as long as he looked closely, he would find that he did not hesitate at all along the way, he had a clear goal and went in the direction of that goal.

Sunlight shines through the layers of tree branches, and speckled spots of light are projected on the path in the forest. And as Pei Chen continued to go deeper, the forest sea above his head gradually became impermeable, not to mention the direct sunlight, and the depths of the forest were undoubtedly dark at all. To be honest, even the most daring villagers don't dare to go deep into here, but Pei Chen can still see that there are traces of human beings, and they are still very fresh.

"Ha, it's a little Lori!"

Muttering in a low voice, he walked a few steps to the foot of a large tree, then reached out and gently brushed away the dense branches and grass in front of him, and a clearing appeared in the forest. Then Pei Chen saw the noble boy lying quietly under the tree, and a little girl of seven or eight years old, and sighed helplessly.

"I said I don't need anything......"

Sesshomaru glanced at the little girl kneeling in front of him lightly, and said calmly, and then he was obviously slightly stunned, as if he saw how much he cared about: "How did the injury on your face come from?" ”

"......" The little girl bit her lower lip and tried to continue smiling, but she couldn't.

Sesshomaru waited quietly for more than ten seconds, he didn't know that the little girl in front of him couldn't speak, at least not now, he just thought that the other party didn't want to speak, so he looked away again: "If you don't want to say it, forget it......"

The little girl may not have received the attention of others for a long time, and immediately showed an innocent and warm smile unique to children.

Sesshomaru was stunned for a moment, and he seemed to feel his heart being touched.

“……”

Pei Chen narrowed his eyes, tilted his head, didn't make a sound and just watched this scene quietly, he didn't want to disturb this scene.

This is exactly the scene of the most perfect and powerful noble son, when he was most embarrassed and helpless, when he met the most lonely and helpless human girl Ling.
