Chapter 724: Prelude! Broken jade

In recent years, although the world is still not peaceful, at least it is not as turbulent as before. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

The nine-tailed demon fox, which has been active from the Kofun era to the present, has been forced to flee far away by the unreasonable offensive of the Far Eastern Country, and has not been heard from for all these years. And the country of the Far East seems to have been carried by the big demon because of this matter, and has been chasing the fox demon to fight, looking like he will not stop until he breaks the other party. And since they have specifically carried it in this regard, then other aspects will naturally reduce their attention to some extent, so their influence has also been curtailed a lot over the years.

The big monsters who were once overwhelmed by the Lord of the Enchanted Spirits had some thoughts in such a situation - they would definitely not dare to let them go face to face with the country of the Far East, but in some dark places under the eyes of the other party, it seems that it is not impossible to sneak into some small actions.

Anyway, now that fox demon has attracted the attention of that huge force, before the bitter nine-tails are not overturned, as long as they don't make too much noise, they shouldn't be overturned immediately.

Moreover, the fact that the Nine-Tails was able to escape before gave many big monsters some inspiration, and made them figure out a certain problem that they felt very uncomfortable before-

That is, as long as you are not stupid enough to knock on the door yourself, then the Lord of the Charm and the Demon will not do anything to bully the small. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Nine-Tails to escape, and they would not have been dragged out and executed until now.

In this case, there seems to be a lot of room for manipulation and turnaround.

However, the monsters are secretly plotting, and although the alien world on the mysterious side is temporarily quiet, it is just that the turbulent waves have become a latent undercurrent, and the real movement has not been eliminated at all. Moreover, in the past few years, it has become a war between the nations of mankind, and the real Warring States period seems to be about to usher in the most glorious period - it is not far from the time when Imagawa Yoshimoto, Uesugi Kenshinobu, Oda Shinna and other little girls who are still in the Lori period will become the head of the family and take power.

It's just that some history that should never be changed is not destroyed, so Pei Chen has always been personally watched by the ontology in this regard-those who cross the thunder pool for half a step, die!

……

……

"But...... Having said that, the lord of the Lori period is really cute!! The sound of self-abandonment sounded in the clouds in the night sky.

If this continues, I'm afraid that Pei Chen himself can't help but change history!! Holding back the throbbing in his heart, Pei Chen cut off the visual information sharing from the body, if he continued to watch the scene of the lord of the black long straight Lori country innocently squatting down in the backyard to watch the ants and running away to fight the butterflies, he would really be sprung up with a nosebleed.

Hug it? I'll just hug you...... Devilish temptations like this kept echoing in Pei Chen's heart.

To be honest, this should be considered a precious CG collection, right? With the value of permanent memory, maybe it would be better to take a few photos......

Thinking of these things, Pei Chen, who was quickly passing above the clouds, soon saw the strange clouds and mist that suddenly appeared in front of him, as well as the barren mountains looming in the clouds, and hurriedly gathered his mind. He glanced at the clay pot and a bag of grave soil in his hand, raised his eyebrows, and then leaned slightly down and fell into the mountains below. Even without counting the scan fluctuations of the spread of his psychic power, his eyesight was enough to see the outline of something deep in the mountains in the clouds.

For example, looming suspension bridges, a large number of terracotta figurines, and kilns built on the ground fire and geothermal heat...... It seems that there is a production line for firing pottery on the mountain.

The nearby legend is also very confirmative, because it is said that the centaurs and even youkai killed on the nearby battlefield will lose their bones and corpses for no reason, and they will not be able to find them anyway. There is a rumor among the elders that the monsters on the nearby mountains combine the corpses of the dead with the soil and burn them into terracotta puppets, driving the souls of the dead so that they cannot be at peace after death......

The ghost girl Li Tao is a monster that even Pei Chen can't figure out.

But it's not that he can't understand the essence of the other party, but he doesn't know how to call the name of the other party's specific monster race.

Skills, body, demonic power, and even IQ, no matter what you look at, are so unsatisfactory, and the only thing that little monster can do is probably only the weird magic of figurining terracotta figurines and resurrecting the dead in disguise, right?

With this thought, the monster held the clay pot, and its body flew directly over the long suspension bridge between the canyons, and the huge demon qi caused a large group of terracotta soldiers below to turmoil, and it almost lost control completely, but the orderly queue of the original ranks was completely dispersed, and they were like a swarm of headless flies wandering around.

These soldiers, made entirely of clay, may be much more powerful than the most elite human soldiers based on the surface data, but in fact they are simply low-level puppets that cannot be lower-level. They are relatively slow to move and are quite mechanically rigid, as long as they are not frightened or panicked, any normal person in a one-on-one situation can solve them.

Especially against those more powerful monsters, these are simply cannon fodder, and it is best to be able to consume some of the enemy's demon power more or less, and if not, it can also give the ghost girl Li Tao a time to drag the enemy, fully prepare or simply escape neatly.

It's a pity that when you encounter an enemy that is out of specification, you can't use it at all.

For example, in the future, Sesshomaru and Inuyasha are all enemies that can be used in one second to fight in one second. And now, although Pei Chen, whose body, state and personality have not yet reached the level of complete breakthrough, he doesn't care about these cannon fodder at all, let alone use the knife, he doesn't even need to use his hands, as long as he has a thought, he can directly usurp all the control of those terracotta puppets.

However, these inferior life-size figures make people not even interested in collecting, if it is those evil god statues that are very outrageous, maybe he is still a little interested, but this kind of regular clay puppets have no new ideas and characteristics, but he can't think up at all. But it's not, it's useless at all, it's too much to be a miscellaneous soldier, and usurping control is just a useless addition to the upper limit of one's own mind control objects.

So Pei Chen just used his mental fluctuations to disrupt their action instructions.

Holding the clay pot in his arms and the bag of tomb soil to the ground lightly, without splashing a trace of dust, he walked straight on the flat terrain that was obviously artificially carved out of the mountain. Surrounded by kilns of different sizes, some of them were cold and covered with a layer of dust, and I don't know how long they hadn't been used; Some were even sealed with masonry, as if they were no longer used for some reason; Some are still burning with blazing fires, and there are some half-finished and failed clay figurines by the fireside.

It makes people feel as if they have walked into some kind of pottery kiln factory or brick kiln factory in the countryside.

Pei Chen decided not to comment on the above topics, he just frowned and looked at the surrounding scene, and his pace did not slow down, as if he knew how clear his goal was from the beginning.

Although there is no movement on this mountain, it seems that only those terracotta warriors are guarding here, in fact, the ghost girl Li Tao is not at home...... But Pei Chen knows everything about the situation of the whole mountain, whether it is dead or alive, he will definitely not be able to escape his heart's eye.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

With a slight pause, Pei Chen stared at the flames in a furnace for a moment, and then continued to walk forward without saying anything. He saw the principle and operation mechanism of that kind of demon flame very thoroughly at a glance, in fact, even if he didn't know anything about the demon magic of the ghost girl Li Tao, he had no less than a hundred ways to refine the body of the bellflower.

――Whether it is the refining of the human body or the magic technique, even if it is the golden body of willpower, there is no problem, anyway, he is indeed proficient in any aspect of the mysterious skill.

It's just that considering the fact that the bellflower didn't know himself before the crossing, and the body of the terracotta figurines was also confirmed by himself, so Pei Chen didn't have any plans and ideas to do it rashly, so to speak, before the time and space state of the bellflower was switched and the cause and effect line was connected, he couldn't really appear. Because Kikyo doesn't know itself before crossing over, changing the 'past' without permission will only lead to deviations in the future......

Let's leave it to the ghost girl Litao! It would be good to let this old woman exert her residual heat before she died.

Thinking a little coldly, Pei Chen locked on to the target.

In the deep cave deep in the mountain, an old witch with an ugly appearance, bulging eyes, a pointed nose, and a little scary look, was hidden in the shadow of a kiln with fear, her forehead was full of cold sweat looking at the light at the end of the cave, and she couldn't stop praying in her heart that the other party would not find her - then again, although she often went out to collect the bones of the dead and the grave soil during this time, she was all careful, and the monsters rarely touched it, how could she provoke such a murderous character to come to the door?

It was precisely because he felt that he couldn't provoke such a big monster at all, so the ghost girl Li Tao felt that maybe she was affected, and the main purpose of the other party was not herself, she was just an unlucky little shrimp who was accidentally caught up in it...... But is there any mystery to this mountain? But I've been using it as a nest for so long, and I haven't found anything!

Whatever, anyway, as long as I escaped this time, I don't want anything more-

According to Murphy's Law, the more you are afraid of something, the more likely it is to happen. Of course, the old witch did not have such a high modern education, but her heart stopped beating directly when she saw that the light at the entrance of the cave was blocked for a moment. When I saw a real figure walking in, the footsteps were like the magic sound of chasing life, and when I hit my heart one by one, the fear spread and froze my body in an instant, although I don't know which one came, but the demonic aura of this big monster is real.

It is impossible to resist, absolutely impossible to resist......

A cold voice echoed in the cave: "Burn me the most perfect witchcraft terracotta figurines, whether it is the material or the process, you have to do your best, time is not a problem, you can complete it within half a month...... In return, I allow you to continue living. ”

……

……

The night has faded, and the sky is bright.

The countryside of Wuzhou, the village of Kaede.

Smoke was already rising from the village, and the villagers had gotten up early in the morning, or rather had not slept all night.

Many of the damaged houses are now being repaired, and young and strong men are working together to carry timber, check for gaps, and repair and even rebuild the buildings that had been damaged by the previous night. Everyone had a familiar expression, and there was no sign of panic or grief, as if this kind of thing should be a normal unfolding, if not commonplace.

This is the main theme and main background of this era.

In front of Granny Kaede's house, the slain horse had been disposed of, leaving only a not-so-obvious pit. A bunch of villagers didn't know what kind of mentality they were having, maybe they were curious, maybe they were wary, maybe they weren't at ease, anyway, they all gathered in front of Granny Feng's house, watching things develop inside through the broken door curtain.

Inside the house, Granny Kaede sighed and drugged Sunset Kagome's left abdomen, but the second dog supported her head with one hand with an unhappy face, lying on her side on the floor and playing a game of staring with the villagers.

"Things are getting tricky now, once the Jade of the Four Souls reappears in this world-" Granny Kaede said with a sigh. "There's going to be a lot of bad guys swarming to snatch it."

"It hurts......" Because she had been in danger of being hunted down before, under the overtension of her nerves, Sunset Kagome had not noticed how serious the wound on her left abdomen was bitten by a youkai. But now that she was relaxed, the wound was almost painful, and she fainted on the spot, her face was pale, and the sweat of the bean couldn't stop dripping.

But even so, she still forcibly concentrated or diverted her attention and listened to Granny Kaede's speech.

"Badass...... Do you mean youkai or something? She thought of the centipede spirit last night, and couldn't help but glance at Inuyasha's back, in the eyes of the girl, whether it was the second dog or the monster last night, they all belonged to the villains who wanted to snatch the jade of the four souls.

"It's not just youkai, but also those humans who are evil at heart,......" Granny Kaede's tone was a little heavy, "In this troubled era of the Warring States, if you can get the demonic power of the Jade of the Four Souls, you can achieve almost all your ambitions and wishes......"

"Huh? Is this a wishing machine? ”

The old man turned upside down for a moment, then shook his head suspiciously, "I don't know what you mean by 'wishing machine', but this is indeed enough to stir up a bloody storm in this world...... This is a long, long time ago a powerful shrine maiden, and many youkai died along with the treasure jade, but it has always been a legend, and it only appeared once fifty years ago - at that time, Inuyasha was also the one who snatched the jade of the four souls. ”

Fifty years ago? This person...... Have you lived for so long?

Sunset Kagome was a little surprised, and then looked at the lilac orb in her palm, staring at the deep light on it, not like reflecting the natural light of the outside world, but more like a little starlight from the dark space in the jade. Suddenly, she felt a palpitation in her heart, and she didn't dare to look at it anymore, but just looked at Inuyasha: "Why do you want to get the Jade of the Four Souls?" ”

"......" Inuyasha puffed out his mouth and didn't answer, as if he was sulking, and he didn't know if he was angry with himself or others.

"You're very strong, you shouldn't need the power of this bead, right?" The girl said to herself.

Granny Feng lightly made up a knife on the side: "Because he is a half-demon." ”

Bang! The wooden floor was directly hammered with a fist to open a big hole, and the second dog, who suddenly sat up, gritted his teeth and said, "Old woman, you have been talking about it since just now. Do you know me? ”

Sunset Kagome's body subconsciously leaned back, but Granny Kaede was indifferent and unchanged: "It turns out that you don't know me anymore, but I can't blame you for this...... I'm the younger sister of Sister Kikyo who sealed you back then, Ah Feng. ”

"Ah Feng?"

Subconsciously repeating the name, Inuyasha quickly recalled his previous memories - this was not too difficult for him, after all, his memory had been stuck in the moment when he was shot fifty years ago - and immediately matched the little Lori in his memory with the old woman in front of him. For a moment, Sunset Kagome seemed to see the corners of his mouth twitch slightly, and his eyes became extremely strange.

Time is really a pig-killing knife!

However, he quickly changed into a speechless expression of disgust, and stretched out a finger to scratch his hair, "Huh? It turns out that you are the ...... back then That little ghost......" Granny Kaede touched her chin and said, "That was fifty years ago, so I became an old woman too." ”

"Hah, in that case, Kikyo has become an old woman now, right? It can't be helped, human beings are so easy to get old, sick and die. Inuyasha pretended not to care and said with his arms crossed, but his ears were quietly pricked up.

"Sister Kikyo is dead." Granny Kaede said calmly.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"On the same day you were sealed."

"Hmph...... I see! That stinky deserves to die! Inuyasha suddenly pulled his hands into his sleeves and sneered, then pulled his hands out again, and turned around to return to the lazy position he had before, with his back to Sunset Kagome and Kaede. It's so refreshing, and the mood is a lot better......"

"......" Sunset Kagome didn't know what to do, she could only keep watching the two of them talk, and at this moment she quietly looked at each other's backs, always feeling that this guy's heart was not like what it appeared on the surface.

"Inuyasha, you can't help but feel at ease too soon......" Granny Kaede seemed to anticipate what he might do, picking up the fire fork and picking up the firewood in the fire a few times. Kagome, you should be the reincarnation of Sister Kikyo. In addition to your appearance and innate supernatural powers, the fact that the Jade of the Four Souls is in your body is the most favorable proof! ”

That's right, Sister Kikyo and the Jade of the Four Souls were cremated by themselves!

……

……

In the blink of an eye, another day and a night had passed.

Standing alone on the edge of the cliff blowing the wind, Pei Chen looked at the clouds and mist that shrouded the valley, and he didn't know what he was thinking, as if he was distracted. The sun and the moon have already rotated again, and he has always maintained such a posture, not moving, if it weren't for that kind of qi that still shocks everything, it is really easy for people to misunderstand that he is dead.

But no matter what the situation is, the ghost girl Li Tao doesn't dare to try to brush the tiger's whiskers.

The old witch was alone at the end of the deep cave deep in the mountain, looking at the raging flames in the furnace in front of her, and the humanoid terracotta figurines made of sorcery combined with tomb soil and spirit bones had taken shape and were being refined in the furnace. The old witch's aging face showed a look that combined most of the fear with a small amount of resentment: "Damn, damn, if I hadn't sent Yanzhu and Wamaru down the mountain to collect materials before, those two dead people would at least be able to help me drag that person's movements...... Being forced by him so much this time, the old woman will definitely be greatly damaged. ”

But in an instant, there was a hint of greed in her eyes, and she looked at the humanoid clay figurine in front of her and said to herself excitedly: "I didn't expect that guy to want to resurrect the bellflower...... The most powerful shrine maiden fifty years ago, hahahaha, this is my chance-"

Quickly after dealing with a few more processes, the old witch who looked languishing took the witch scythe in her hand, dragged her body a little abruptly, and left the cave where the core kiln was located. As soon as she walked out of the cave, she saw the figure standing on the edge of the cliff at a glance, and immediately felt that her soul was aching faintly, and her face showed a look of fear and hatred.

Hesitating, she wondered if she should go over and say something.

Then, an extremely majestic spiritual power fluctuation suddenly appeared in a certain direction in the distance, and then a dazzling spiritual light bloomed in the sky somewhere, as if it was a small sun. Without waiting for anyone to react, the aura split apart and rushed in all directions, one after another brilliant aura streaked across the sky, announcing to the whole world what had happened.

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

The ghost girl Li Tao was stunned for a moment, and then the greed in her heart could no longer be suppressed, and the eyes of the figure became more and more resentful, and at the same time, she felt that she finally understood why this big monster wanted to resurrect the witch, it turned out that she had known about it for a long time. She felt like she had found the reason and also saw a great opportunity!!

Letting the knife-like resentful gaze behind him poke at his back, Pei Chen seemed to have no trace of it, he just watched the scene he had been waiting for for a day and a night finally appear, and couldn't help but stretch.

"All the best......"

At the same time as this sentence was spit out, Granny Kaede, who was looking at the mysterious phenomenon in the sky with the villagers who didn't know why, subconsciously muttered to herself.

"This, this is ...... Now it's in trouble. ”
