“…… What is your true self? ”

On the rugged winding mountain road, the morning sun has gradually faded and softened, and the power of light and heat is obviously increasing at a speed that can be felt. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info youkai led the horse and led the way in front, and the Kikyo who was riding on the horse suddenly asked after being silent for a long time.

After recovering from the last hours of the morning before dawn, the youkai, who now seemed relatively 'normal', paused slightly.

He lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said slowly: "It's hard to define, at least in the current universe, 'I' has already embodied the omnipotence within the known range, although I only have a six-star peak level evaluation now...... But this is the case, unless it is a god-shaped clone that is cut through secret method cultivation, otherwise the current transformation body has not yet been completely formed. ”

The youkai looked back at the shrine maiden on the horse, stretched out his hand and gestured, and the demonic refraction of light projected into the air to illustrate the renderings.

"Through projection, he creates a simulacrum, combined with the projection of the will on the river of time to form an incarnation, a primordial incarnation that seems to be a blank curtain, possessing only pure matter and energy, and is linked by the ontological spirit. Then, with the power of the demon god who created the phase, the various power systems and skills that 'I' possess are concretized, but instead of covering the world, they cover the incarnation, which is equivalent to a module loaded with various effects, so that the avatar has the ability of magic, skills, etc.——"

"Phase?" After thinking back to some of the things that the other party had said before, he quickly understood what this term meant, but Kikyo was a little puzzled, "Didn't you say that it was a force used to modify the concept of the world?" ”

Pei Chen shook his head and smiled: "Because the body of life itself is a miniature world!" ”

In general, the world can be equated with the universe, but it does not mean that it is absolutely the same concept in all cases. After all, the ecosphere on the earth can be said to be the world, and the solar system, the Milky Way or something can also be said to be a world.

The phases are the things that cover the world layer by layer, like a filter membrane, and these phases exist independently, but also determine the 'appearance of the world', and any world is the scenery that is 'observed' through these phases......

——This should have been the power of the demon god to change the world like pinching clay, creating and destroying in one thought, and doing all kinds of incredible things, but it was integrated by Pei Chen, combined with the theoretical basis of other systems, to create a special improved version of the power of the demon god that gives the avatar different forms of abilities at will.

It is the so-called small universe of the human body, and the big human body of the universe.

In the Eastern Qi refining system, the theoretical basis is to closely link the human body with the universe, forming a small universe of the human body. Not only is the human body itself a small universe, but also the human body universe and the heaven and earth universe constitute a large universe in which heaven and man are one. What is in the universe, there is also in the human body, and all things are one, corresponding to each other.

It is on this basis that he combines the power of the demon god, and treats the body as a small world to superimpose and extract the phase at will, modify it to the desired form, and then form an incarnation.

"Since it's omnipotent within the known range, can't you directly solve your own problems?" Kikyo suddenly interjected, not in hindsight, but in the past few thoughts.

Pei Chen was stunned for a moment, and then decisively shook his head and denied: "My ontology has not really made a complete breakthrough, and I can't achieve any wishes, to be honest, even if it's an eight-star star, I can't do anything...... This is because if you pray for the cause, you will inevitably bear the predestined consequences, not to mention that this time the problem is originally with 'me' myself. ”

Although such an answer had been expected for a long time, Kikyo still couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes, and muttered, "Is that really the case?" …… Also, healers don't heal themselves. How can there be a truly omnipotent existence......"

"Well, that's not necessarily the case—the nine-star star is said to be the level at which no matter how appalling and logically contradictory things can be, but because other equal beings interfere with each other, they can't obtain the full authority of the Supreme Seat, so theoretically the omniscient and all-powerful God will also be denied by the paradox of the Almighty......" The monster hesitated and sighed.

"Otherwise, the Almighty can 'can't', that is, He can't even 'can't, so he is omnipotent...... The paradox is meaningless. ”

As he spoke, he suddenly pinched his chin and said, "Having said that, if 'I' could achieve that state in the future, the current result would have been doomed a long time ago...... It's a pity that this is only the first week, and the Root Incarnation doesn't seem to plan to come out again to brush up on his face-"

“……”

Root incarnation?

Kikyo frowned slightly when he heard this, and his thoughts fluctuated directly to the time before dawn today, what happened after he hugged the youkai in an emotional way—and then glanced at him meaninglessly. She had an impression of this, and she had also witnessed the 'anomaly' that had Pei Chen's body and memories.

It's just that it seems that the youkai himself doesn't know it at all, and doesn't even have this memory?

"And what's the deal with projection?"

In an instant, her thoughts turned, and the witch bowed her head slightly to collect her emotions, and after signaling that she understood, she turned to ask another question.

“…… This is very troublesome to explain, just like the existence of high dimensions will also have low-dimensional projections, to give an inappropriate example is the shadow of a three-dimensional human being, which can be seen as two-dimensional. Ants are two-dimensional creatures but live in three-dimensional space, while humans are three-dimensional creatures but can perceive four-dimensional 'time' - and so on, although it is not rigorous or scientific, but it has a certain reference value......"

At this moment, the sub-monster muttered for a while, and then explained in more concise words and bellflower as much as possible.

"Therefore, high-dimensional beings above the fourth dimension will leave a projection on the long river of time, because they can see the causes of the past and the future, so their projection is actually a side of existence that exists on different time sections, and can be regarded as a real body rather than just a simple shadow...... Uh, can you understand what I'm saying? ”

After saying a while, he suddenly realized that he didn't seem to be able to be much more concise and clear, at least the witch who had no knowledge of this and no personal experience in this area seemed to be absolutely impossible to understand.

Kikyo looked away expressionlessly and looked at the outline of an ancient temple looming on the hill.

"We're here."

Pei Chen: "......"

……

The temple they went to was not very famous, and it was inhabited by a certain enlightened monk of this era, named Shenquan Monk.

The reason why the old monk can be remembered and can make Kikyo have an impression is because he has done a relatively famous deed in the past, that is, he defeated the purgatory ghost and suppressed the ghost and a very famous demon horse at that time. Otherwise, there are more monks in this year, how can it be remembered by the bellflower?

Guarding the temple door are two young monks, Pei Chen's spiritual power unfolded and swept over, instantly covering the entire temple, and then all the scenes seemed to be imprinted in his heart: there were only three people in the temple, in addition to the two young monks in front of him, there was also a person whose life breath was aging, but the spiritual power breath was relatively strong and pure, and he was meditating in the temple.

As for the restless, it is the restless fire spirit in the cave in the mountain behind the temple, which can also be sensed through the seal.

Demon horse fire hoof.

Because the next step is to start collecting the Jade of the Four Souls and take the handle to kill the former wild thief ghost spider and the current half-demon Naraku, considering the mobility of the witch, no matter how Pei Chen looks at it, he thinks that the current ordinary horse can be of any help to the next journey and work in addition to being a little more tempered-

I can't run in the forest, I can't run over the swamp, I can't fly to the sky and I can't escape the ground, and I'm embarrassed to say that I'm a horse?! And even if he has a supply of spiritual power and sufficient water and grass, he can only run more than 100 kilometers in a day...... It's a big name! I'm completely sorry for the impressions about horses that Pei Chen learned about horses from film and television novels and even game works.

Pei Chen, who didn't feel that his definition of a horse seemed to be a little subtle at all, just sighed like this, it turns out that horses are so much more delicate than people!

In view of this, it is not incomprehensible that Pei Chen hit the idea on the body of the demon horse Yan Hoof.

After all, no matter how you look at it, the latter's forcing and cost-effective are very high, the aggressiveness is strong, you can be a mount or a part-time war pet, and at the same time, the speed is still amphibious in land and air, and the way to move is mainly by flying in the air...... Even the terrifying speed that Inuyasha's late-stage Wind Wound, Explosive Burst and other skill attacks can't catch up with, it can be said that there are no obvious weaknesses other than the water environment.

Just right for Kikyo - and as soon as he mentioned it, Kikyo said that he knew the specific direction, so the two rushed over directly.

……

……

"Wave ~ come back to your senses!"

waved vigorously in front of the two stunned monks, and the corners of the monster's mouth tugged slightly.

In this country, monks seem to be a profession? Shaving the ordination does not affect marriage and childbirth, and the arrogant appearance of 'I just bullied the Buddha to die early', and the monasteries and monks who are a little more orthodox are relatively rare...... There is no doubt that the two in front of me are the latter, and it is estimated that they belong to the kind of people who have to stay honestly after being deceived into going up the mountain, let alone getting married and having children, I am afraid that they will not even be able to see women in the future.

Isn't there a saying, being a soldier for three years, the sow is a sable cicada.

But now these two are not going to be soldiers, but really becoming monks, and they are definitely not more than three years. Under such circumstances, they can only face the same young and gender brothers all day long, and the masters who are no longer young but are still of the same gender...... After a long time, it is estimated that there will only be an ending of 'not falling in love in silence, being perverted in silence', right?

- Anyway, there seems to be something wrong with this ending, because whether they fall in love in silence or pervert in silence, it seems that the same line points to ......

Pei Chen suddenly felt that the two people in front of him were worthy of sympathy, and it was no wonder that they were stupid when they saw Kikyo.

"That, that...... Donor, please wait, I, I, I...... I'll go and inform the master......" Perhaps they couldn't stand the strange eyes of the monster with inexplicable pity, but the two guys finally came back to their senses, and with great difficulty took their eyes off the law of gravity and removed them from the shrine maiden, and then stammered such a sentence, and stumbled back to the temple.

“……”

“……”

The temple is not too large, and there are faint traces of the peak of incense from years ago, but today there are only a few small villages left at the foot of the nearby hills, and the once prosperous town has disappeared in the turmoil of the war. In the Warring States Period, when living resources were already scarce, if there was no security and a prosperous economy, how much mood would people who couldn't fill their stomachs have to worship Buddha?

Although Monk Shenquan is also a monk with magic and virtue, there is really no good way to do this, and he can only watch the temple decay day by day from the peak of incense to the current one. If there is no change, it will probably end in his disciple's generation, right?

Besides, after all, he is already old, and even if he has any plans as a human Shenquan monk, he does not have the time and conditions to implement them.

“…… You are...... Kikyo-sama? ”

The wrinkled and drooping Shenquan monk opened his faint old eyes, and then looked at the witch with a gleam in her eyes: "No, it's not right...... You're already dead, aren't you? But why are you still nostalgic for the world, can't you become a Buddha with peace of mind......

He actually saw through the essence of the witch at a glance, and she was no longer human.

Pei Chen raised his eyebrows, he originally thought that this old monk would attack himself first, but he didn't expect that the other party would completely ignore him, but said with a serious face to the witch.

Kikyo looked calm, and said softly: "Master, we are here this time for the demon horse Yanhoof. ”

She didn't answer Monk Shenquan's question, but just avoided the important and directly explained the intention of the two of them.

"Why?" The old monk was unmoved, his eyes were serious.

"That's because ......" Kikyo stopped talking, as if he was a little embarrassed, so in the end he just sighed softly, "I have a reason why I have to do this, that's all." ”

“……”

After staring at the two of them for a long time, the solemn look and firm eyes of the Shenquan monk gradually faded, and he waved his hand weakly, as if there was a trace of incomprehensible pity: "Yanhoof is in the cave of the mountain behind the temple, and the purgatory ghost was sealed by me in another place on the mountain...... Go ahead! ”

Kikyo nodded slightly, then gestured to Pei Chen, and walked along the courtyard towards the back of the temple.

Pei Chen frowned tightly, glanced at the old monk deeply, and also turned around to follow. Is that all it takes? Shouldn't you follow the rules, everyone salutes first and then soldiers, and then does a show? …… So how much has the witch's charm attribute increased, why do you always feel that this is the only aspect that you will never have the confidence to face her?

With such a mood, Pei Chen followed the witch all the way with complicated eyes, and soon came to a dark and deep cave.

When she stopped, Kikyo still didn't have any expression on her face, and she didn't turn her head, just turned her back to the youkai.

"Well, I remember you said...... Is this your last emotion, not a performance? ”

“…… Yes. Slowly exhaling, Pei Chen nodded.

"So good, if this is the final journey—then it's mine and yours." The shrine maiden looked back, as if she had made a decision, her brows slightly furrowed, and her eyes lowered slightly.

……

……

Dewa country, far away from Musashi Province.

Later generations called it Yamagata Prefecture, in a small village.

"it!"

With a stiff, formalized smile on his face, the contractor who walked out of a villager's house saw at a glance the blood-colored pillar of light in the sky, and the huge evil aura and unimaginable demonic power were transmitted from the distant sky. I don't know how many kilometers of distance they have separated each other, but they can still feel the terrible coercion and shock.

"Lying in the mud of the Gobi - the god hasn't gotten out of trouble for a long time, why has Cong Yunya already been born?! Did these two things happen at the same time?! A teammate who came out after him obviously knew what this meant, and couldn't help but scold.

"How is that possible...... This is obviously the work of other contractors! ”

The previous contractor always felt his scalp tingle, shook his head and said, "Let's hurry up, there is said to be a Buddha stone bowl hidden in the ruins of the former temple nearby. I've always felt that the problem with that sword was caused by our hostile contractors, so it's best to resurrect God as soon as possible...... Damn, otherwise, when that sword is full of blood, no one will be able to block a few swords-"

"Captain, he sent a message before, saying that Anbei, the son of the swallow corresponding to the West Lake, and the pearl of the dragon's head corresponding to the lake in the mountains have already been obtained, and now they are investigating the whereabouts of Hojo Akishi and Inuyasha, if there is no accident, the Celestial Maiden Feather Coat and the Fire Rat Qiu can also get their hands quickly......" The rough contractor glanced out of the house, looked at the blood-colored pillar of light in the distance in horror, and kept kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to worship the villagers who were chattering in his mouth, and a cross popped out of his forehead.

He gritted his teeth, checked the latest team message, and said, "Buddha Stone Bowl...... We're just getting some clues here now, and we don't know if it's true or not. As for the Penglai jade branch, it is even more ethereal, and I don't even know whether it exists or not, and the mother-in-law didn't say a reason for it......

His companion remained silent, frowning tightly at a tattered map in his hand.

"Wait, I've found a clue that might be useful......"

"What? If there's a fart, let it go! ”

"The legend of the Buddha's stone bowl that the villagers said before, and the customs of the instant Buddha that are spread in this place...... What do you think of? The companion choked, then slowly inhaled to relieve the pressure in his head, and said what he thought of, "Bai Lingshan, Master Bai Xin...... I don't think there is any connection between these clues, so let's go find the Buddha's stone bowl, and if we can't find it, the Venerable Master of the White Heart can also be used. ”

“…… What do you mean? The reckless guy also seemed to come to his senses, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"If we really want to seal or kill God Jiuye, and the team that received the opposite task to us takes Cong Yunya to kill it, it is impossible for us to resist it. Unless God is fully resurrected and reaches his full state after a long night...... Until then, we can first hide in the White Spirit Mountain, or find a way to take advantage of the weakness of the White Heart Master, if there is anyone in this world who can take a few swords from the cloud fangs like Shen Jiuye, that mummy must be one of them......"

“……”

Just as the two were discussing, the other side.

Directly below the blood-colored pillar of light.

"Team, Captain......"

The blonde, blue-eyed beauty mage swallowed a mouthful of saliva calmly, watching the tall figure with a long sword in the distance appear on the horizon, and then gradually approached. The scar-faced man was covered in bloody wounds, but the momentum on his body was condensed to the extreme, and the terrifying killing intent fluctuations were enough to turn the minds of ordinary people directly into idiots in seconds.

Like a ghost.

With a threatening aura of danger all over his body, the man with a gloomy scarface held a purple-black and shiny magic sword tightly in his right hand, or should it be said that the magic sword grabbed him in turn - because the tentacles spread out strangely from the sword, deeply penetrating into the flesh and blood vessels of his arm, squirming from time to time, making his entire arm red, swollen and hideous, and it was chilling to look at.

The power of that terrible curse caused everyone present to hallucinate, as if they saw the apocalyptic scene of the sky covered in darkness, the earth rotting, and everyone dying of despair.

"Maylis......" The man's reaction seemed to be a little sluggish, and he walked to the female mage's side before slowly turning his head to look, "You continue to follow the clues of those five treasures and stop our rival team from completing their mission...... I'm going to go find the team from the last time, and I'm going to make them pay ......for it with blood," he said with a violent and bloodthirsty smile on his gloomy face, "Those beasts, they're going to die." ”

"So you took that piece of shard to get this sword?! - Are you crazy?! Doctor Octopus lunged at him, scolding as if he were angry.

The scar-faced man's face was cold, and he gritted his teeth and red eyes: "I'm crazy...... I've been waiting for this day all the time, and I can't imagine that the opportunity for revenge will come so soon! But I don't have overwhelming strength yet!! - Only this sword, only this sword, is a force that they absolutely can't resist, I must let them die well!! ”

"But, but ......"

"Don't worry, I'm in control...... Isn't this sword meant to drink blood? The super regeneration factor brought by my Wolverine bloodline enhancement can make it drink a lot, as long as it can support a few swords, it can definitely eradicate all ......"

……

……

Far away, in the unknown deep mountains and wild forests.

Dressed in silver-white baboon fur, the strange figure stared at the blood-colored pillar of light in the distance, and then looked up at the sky, the faint full moon that had not faded for several days, and he sensed that some kind of inevitable death was approaching, as if the god of death had pronounced the time of his death.

"My chance...... At the same time, it was accompanied by the destruction ......" indifferent self-talk.

……

The former western part of the country is also inaccessible in the remote mountains and forests.

The noble son of the dog clan who had a broken arm suddenly stopped, and then turned his head in the eyes of the monster who was holding a human head staff and followed closely behind him in fear and doubt, and looked at the pillar of light and breath that appeared in the sky.

Then, slowly, his expression grew even colder, as if he thought of something humiliating and annoying.

"Father's relics...... Cong Yunya......"
