Tsubaki, the black witch, is a shrine maiden of the same era as Kikyo, powerful, arrogant, and proficient in the art of cursing and controlling youkai.

Back then, this shrine maiden was above the top, and she had always been proud of her abilities...... Until after she met Kikyo.

Facts have proved that the so-called geniuses of this era are always no match for the hanging, and the bellflower, which can compete for the strongest name among all the witches from ancient times to the present, is naturally far stronger than Tsubaki, a genius witch.

No matter how incredulous Tsubaki is, no matter how incompetent and furious he is, he even almost tears his face and attacks Kikyo directly, the final result is only to be counterattacked by Kikyo Yunyu, and in the end, it is only Tsubaki himself who suffers the loss.

Of course, Tsubaki's curse also pitted Kikyo, mainly because Kikyo didn't think at all that he would also have love, so after having love for Tsubaki's curse at the beginning, his spiritual power would be weakened, and he didn't care about it at all, otherwise this curse wouldn't have fallen on her head in the first place.

Because of her jealousy of Kikyo, the jade witch who guards the four souls, Tsubaki later broke out of the master's door, (at that time, she also asked her master, where can she compare to Kikyo?) Anyway, you have points in your heart, okay! Didn't you see that your master was speechless by you? In the end, she became a dark witch who absorbed the power of youkai to maintain her youth and longevity.

But even so, the limit of the talent of the shrine maiden's cultivation profession is there, and although Tsubaki can still maintain her youth and beauty at nearly 70 years old today, she is almost at the limit.

She could clearly feel that in another ten or eight years, even if she could draw strength from the monsters she absorbed and submitted, she would still age, her smooth skin would be full of wrinkles, her plump flesh would become shriveled, and her clear eyes would become cloudy...... I'm going to be an old and ugly shrine maiden soon.

Becoming an old woman, this arrogant and conceited witch who cares about her appearance is naturally absolutely unwilling.

In the original book, she relied on the power of the Jade of the Four Souls, and absorbed the powerful ghost clan monsters suppressed by her own master, the biggest purpose of which was to stop aging, and secondly, to fight with Kikyo so she attacked Inuyasha and Kagome.

As for now, without the Jade of the Four Souls, this black witch had to hit her mind in other ways, and the legendary goddess of heaven Jiuye, who appeared when this witch was young decades ago, naturally fell into the eyes of this witch.

Speaking of the legend of the god of the long night, although it is completely a black fairy tale, it still has all the elements of the original legend, the fairy who fell from the sky, the heavenly feather cloak that is extremely important to the heavenly maiden, and the legendary elixir of immortality!

There is such a thing as an immortal elixir in the seal of Shen Jiuyue when he lifts it...... However, after research, the shrine maiden Tsubaki has found that the immortal elixir can only be regarded as an unprocessed raw material, and if it is really eaten, it may die faster.

In this regard, Shen Jiuye did not hide it, there is the most important medicine in the immortal elixir, and only when you get that medicine can you truly make people immortal.

And the so-called medicine is actually the blood of the goddess of the gods.

Tsubaki is not a fool, and she has long known the true face of Shen Jiuye, a monster who is good at devouring ability, how much of a hidden danger its blood has, she can understand it with her knees thinking, at least the power of this thing is definitely much more terrifying than what Three Corpse Brain Divine Pill, Leopard Fetus I Ching Pill.

But now, Tsubaki has no other choice, without the Jade of the Four Souls, this witch actually knows very well that with her own ability, she will definitely not be able to subdue the ghost god who was suppressed under the tower, and naturally it is impossible to extend her life with the help of her ability.

Originally, if there was really no other choice, this witch might really make the decision to die - although this dark witch's bottom line is already very low, she is really not an evil camp.

In addition to not dealing with the bellflower, so he betrayed the master, even if this witch went the right way, she didn't hurt anyone, and even eradicated a lot of monsters.

In the original book, the entanglement between this shrine maiden and Inuyasha and her party is also because of the Jade of the Four Souls, as well as jealousy of Sunset Kagome, the reincarnation of Kikyo, and not because she herself has done anything bad.

It's a pity that not long ago, Tsubaki, the shrine maiden, accidentally learned the news of the resurrection of the bellflower, and the jade of the four souls caused the entire neon youkai to suffer heavy losses, although it failed to hurt a single hair of the maple village, but now the situation in the maple village has already been inquired.

When she first heard the news, Tsubaki still didn't believe it at all - in this era, although the resurrection was not unique, she had never heard of a person who had been dead for 50 years and only had ashes left.

Even if it's the so-called resurrection, it's probably some kind of evil way used like the reincarnation of the filthy earth, and it's basically a half-life and half-death situation!

This idea didn't change completely until Tsubaki relied on the spell and really secretly observed the bellflower.

Kikyo is really resurrected! And it's the perfect resurrection! The bellflower is still so young and beautiful, and it is still so powerful, exactly the same as 50 years ago!

And she is about to face aging and become an old woman with a wrinkled face!

The strong jealousy immediately swallowed the reason of the black witch, and only the bellflower was the knot that the black witch could never let go! This is also the reason why this witch knows that Kamikuya is not a serious goddess, but a terrible youkai, and she still spares no effort to help her get out of trouble - even with the help of the power of demons, she wants to defeat Kikyo!

Shen Jiuye took out a bottle of immortal elixir, pulled out the hairpin and slashed his wrist, and blood dripped into it, and then the celestial maiden handed the medicine bottle to Tsubaki.

Tsubaki frowned slightly, and her mind flashed to the figure of Kikyo walking with Inuyasha that she had seen in the mirror with a spell some time ago.

Even though the spell was disturbed by Kikyo in just a moment, Kikyo's beautiful and happy expression was still imprinted in Tsubaki's heart.

】

- Why, after paying so much, I am still inferior to you? Whether it's in the power of the shrine maiden, or in the pursuit of personal happiness, you are crushed?

Without any further hesitation, the Black Witch swallowed the elixir of immortality in one gulp, and in an instant, her white hair turned back to jet black, and although there was no abnormality on the outside, the organs that had begun to grow old on the inside were rejuvenated.

Even his own spiritual power was reactivated, as if endless life force was gushing out of this body.

The Celestial Maiden itself is immortal, and the elixir of immortality made from her blood may not be able to make people immortal, but it is not difficult to make people immortal, at least for hundreds or thousands of years.

It's just that Shen Jiuye is not a genuine celestial girl, and she must have her own back hand in her blood - even so, Tsubaki also admits it, as long as she can overpower the bellflower, no matter what the price is!

Seeing that the black witch had drunk the elixir of immortality, the corners of Shen Jiuye's mouth also showed a smile, "Very good, now that you have been paid, you should naturally do something else for me, right?" ”

"For example, my Heavenly Maiden Feather Coat, do you know where it is?"

Hearing Shen Jiuye's question, a smile appeared on the face of the black witch who had just regained her youth: "Well, I really know this...... Some time ago, I met a little ghost named Hojo Akitoki, helped him out of the siege, and I also learned a message from him. ”

"It is said that the heirloom of the Heavenly Maiden Feather Coat, which was passed down from his grandfather, was bought by an eccentric rich man some time ago for more than a thousand taels of gold."

"Oh!?" Shen Jiuye's face showed an expression of interest: "Weird rich man...... Who is he? In what place? ”

"I heard the name is Mino! As for now...... He should be in the village with the Jade of the Four Souls, the Maple Village! ”

……

Shen Jiuye is not the kind of monster with no brains, it is better to be able to devour the Celestial Maiden, this monster is actually scheming and remarkable.

Therefore, after listening to the information of the black witch, she did not kill directly to Kaede Village, but first went to confirm the authenticity of the information, and quickly confirmed that the information of the Heavenly Feather Coat was true.

However, in the process, Shen Jiuye has also roughly understood the situation in Kaede Village today.

Today's Maple Village, it may be a bit too modest to describe it as Longtan Tiger's Den, at least for those monsters who know a little about it, it has completely become a forbidden place for monsters.

Kagome, who is studying there, the strongest shrine maiden Kikyo who has been resurrected, and a powerful shrine maiden dressed as a military commander who is heroic and even more terrifying than that Kikyo.

Because of the lifespan of the monster, the monster still has a deep memory of the bellflower 50 years ago, but for Tsuiko hundreds of years ago, basically no monsters know, not to mention that the current Tsuiko has become a half-demon witch, so that most of the monsters are inexplicable about her state.

But Tsuiko's strength is not compromised at all! In particular, Tsuiko is also responsible for making the Jade of the Four Souls, so most of the youkai are almost executed by her.

After being strengthened by a half-demon and becoming a great snake scroll, the current Cuizi is more than a step stronger than the peak before his death, and the monsters he killed are almost terrified.

These three witches are already difficult to deal with, and in addition, there is a very powerful half-demon in Maple Village, a demon slayer (Huangquan) who is not weak, a hair demon with excellent detection ability, and a terrible monster that can accept that powerful witch as a scroll!

To be honest, when he received this information, Shen Jiuye felt that it was too exaggerated, but after several inquiries and found out the loss of the current neon monster, he was a little convinced.

Rao is god Jiuye is arrogant, and she is also afraid of the current Maple Village, plus the Heavenly Maiden Feather Coat has not yet arrived, and she does not dare to directly attack the Maple Village without recovering her combat power.

In a short period of time, she is ready to lurk first, accumulate strength, and then find a way to get the Celestial Maiden Feather Cloak, and then she can advance or retreat, and be invincible.

………

"It's really boring! It's been a month since the full moon, why hasn't the god moved for a long time? I also pointed to her to make a big news, so that I could directly locate the boss! ”

There were incomprehensible lines on his mouth, but Mino himself looked leisurely, and the whole person was pillowed on the leg of the reverse hair knot, and there was no irritability.

"The host should have been a little patient. It's only a month, which isn't a long time for a youkai. ”

It wasn't the reverse hair Yura who was manipulating her hair to Minotse's ear that said this, but Sohime, who was massaging Mino, who was massaging Mino on the side, and after this period of hard work, the entire Penglai Island had also settled down, and Sohime didn't have to stay in that half-plane often.

As a shrine maiden who used to stay on Penglai Island and was completely out of touch with the outside world, Sohime was not very sensitive to time.

The time inside and outside Penglai Island is different, and the island does have a certain effect of prolonging life, at least allowing human beings to live for one or two hundred years, plus it has always been the way of life of small countries and widows, and the pace of life has never been very fast.

And this gentle witch is also very satisfied with this leisurely life now, several half-demon imps from Penglai Island have been integrated into the village of Kaede, this village has always been protected by witches, and there is no living teaching material on the god tree Inuyasha, there is no discrimination against half-demons.

This makes Sohime even faintly feel that Penglai Island is not destroyed, and she still lives on Penglai Island - at most, there is one more monster master who doesn't take care of things on weekdays, and Mino's moral bottom line is already higher than that of most people in this era.

"That being said...... But that guy hasn't come out, and it's annoying! ”

Mino sighed and spoke, and then, his voice lowered suddenly: "Especially this guy, who is still watching this place every day, it's just extremely irritating!" ”

Yes, the youkai named Kamikuya has never given up monitoring Kaede Village, and the treasure in her hand, called the Mirror of Life, does possess such power.

At least apart from Mino herself, even Kikyo, Sohime, and Tsuiko didn't notice this kind of surveillance. It was only at Mino's reminder that I learned about this.

"Perhaps...... It's time for me to give her a little temptation! ”

Although the Heavenly Feather Cloak was used by Mino, it can be said that it is just a change of form.

After all, Mino has also eaten the fruit of heaven and man, and he was born with a certain adaptability to the heavenly feather coat, but the heavenly feather coat of the god of the night belongs to women, so it was replaced by Mino with a seamless heavenly coat that is closer to that of men.

This thing has a variety of effects such as transformation, flying, cleaning, automatic recovery, and blood return to blue when worn on the body, and the actual effect is not different from the Heavenly Feather Cloak.

And although Mino has little interest in the pink ribbon women's clothes, the seamless heavenly clothes exchanged for belong to the ancient garb of wide-sleeved robes, which can be worn by both men and women.
