Chapter 9: Kaede Village
"What? Can't I come here? ”
Link jumped out of the bone-eating well and asked rhetorically.
From the modern era to the Warring States period, the scenery around the Well of Bones has changed dramatically, with a tall rock rising from the side of the well and a thick tree blocking the Well on the other.
Continuing to look clockwise, there was a horizon of continuous trees, the sky was exceptionally clear, even the air was extremely fresh, in the midst of a burst of insects and birds, Link took a deep breath, felt the vitality of his body welling up, and he wanted to roar a little.
"Cut." Inuyasha narrowed his eyes, his face was very serious, and he said in a low tone: "Listen up kid, if you also want to compete for the Jade of the Four Souls, or hurt that stinky woman, be ready to be killed by Uncle Ben." ”
"Oh~" Link raised an eyebrow, "So the point is Miss Sunset?" ”
"Hey! You bastard, are you listening to Uncle Ben well! Inuyasha broke through the defense in a second and screamed.
"Whoa" As the two were talking, the bushes not far away shook for a while, and then an old one-eyed dragon lady slowly walked out with a bow and arrow full of strings in her hand, and the arrow pointed at Link deadly.
"What a powerful demon, hey, Inuyasha, what kind of youkai have you attracted." The mother-in-law said in a deep voice.
Inuyasha pursed his lips and clasped his hands in front of his chest, "Old woman, you're going to ask that stinky woman, this bastard is a half-demon from that era. ”
Granny Kaede, who was called the old woman, calmly lowered the arrow slightly and said, "Inuyasha, go over there to confirm Kagome's safety." ”
Inuyasha reluctantly jumped into the well.
"Don't be nervous, I don't mean anything." Link felt amazing, when he was locked by the arrow, the demonic energy in his body actually showed obvious collapse and fear, but as long as he wanted, he could still reunite the demonic energy.
Is this spiritual power? It's amazing.
"My name is Link, and I'm a modern person." He took the initiative to introduce himself and explained: "I came to this era to find a way to turn me back into a human being. ”
Link thought about it, and in order to prove his innocence, he simply threw the fragment of the Four Souls Jade in his hand.
This thing is really useless to him, or that sentence, it is better not to have uncontrolled power, and the more he holds the jade of the four souls, the easier it is to demonize, but his purpose is to turn back into a human and start the inheritance again.
He is familiar with the ability of the Jade of the Four Souls, whether it is healing or resurrection, he does not need it for the time being, and there are extremely strong side effects.
To put it simply, people who have desires holding jade will make jade show the side of Qu Ling, and will continue to increase desires, pollute holders, enhance demonic energy, and people with pure mood and no desire will gradually purify jade when they hold jade, and then, well, there is no effect, and the jade will be purified to a certain extent, and the straight spirit will appear, meeting the basic conditions for completely making the jade disappear.
That is, blackening is ten times stronger, and whitewashing is three points weaker.
Link didn't think he could purify the Jade of the Four Souls, nor did he think it was a good thing to become a monster, he just wanted a one-way ticket when he came to the Warring States Period, and he never thought of going back, and the fragments of the Jade of the Four Souls naturally became very chicken.
"I trust you." Granny Feng put down her bow and arrows, caught the jade fragment of the four souls, and said, "Since there is no malice, come with me." ”
The two of them quickly left the woods and came to a village.
"Granny Kaede's morning."
"Morning, Granny Kaede."
The farmers and peasant women who were carrying farm tools and preparing to work in the fields greeted Granny Kaede with a smile and looked at Link with curiosity.
"Another strangely dressed person."
"It's supposed to be a foreigner this time, right?"
"It's been a long time since I saw Mistress Kagome......"
At the end of the village, there was a wooden house far away from the other houses, something was boiling at the door, Granny Kaede opened the door and beckoned Link to come in and sit down, and then returned to the door to bring up the clay pot, and from the inside came out the mushy food, divided it into two portions and returned to the house.
Link refused at first the mushy thing, but was kindly invited by Granny Kaede to try it.
"The unexpected taste is not bad." He commented that the mushy taste is not sloppy, the fruit and some chestnut particles in it are obvious, with a fragrance and a touch of sweetness, and the slight taste of medicinal herbs adds a little flavor, and it is really good to have a bowl in the morning.
Granny Feng smiled and sat down cross-legged, like a little old lady, no, this is a little old lady, holding the bowl in both hands, sipping one bite at a time.
"Was it some kind of barrier that I just crossed?" Link asked suddenly, he had clearly felt a slight obstacle when he had just entered the village.
Granny Feng said slowly: "That's right, if you are a malicious person or a monster, you will definitely be blocked out, and you will definitely not be able to get in before I die." ”
Link understood, and then recounted his experience of being forced to become a youkai.
"Huh" Granny Feng put down the bowl, her face showed surprise, and she said in surprise: "I didn't expect that there would really be a human like you in this world." ”
Before Link could ask, she explained: "Youkai is an extremely strong life, if a person or youkai has a powerful and distorted desire, it will take the initiative to integrate, even if it gives up the existence of self and consciousness, it must become a part of the strong, until the demonic energy generated by desire reaches the limit." ”
"This kind of thing is very rare even among youkai, let alone humans and youkai."
"But because of their own weakness, human beings will soon become monsters after being integrated into monsters, and I have never seen a situation like you that eats demon energy one after another but has not really become a monster."
Granny Feng thought as she spoke, paused, and continued, "You release all the demon energy, let me see your monster form. ”
"Okay." Link condensed and let go of the demonic energy in his body that was completely suppressed under the flesh and blood.
"Roar!" The demonic qi that bloomed formed a powerful and huge tiger in the air, and as soon as it appeared, it couldn't wait to roar, and then it was retracted to the surface in the powerful suppressive force, and even the roaring sound inevitably felt a little more anticlimactic.
Link's brown and yellow hair swelled wildly, and his body continued to float under the blessing of demonic energy and the suppression of his own powerful power, and he sat cross-legged on the floor and became a humanoid tiger sitting cross-legged in the blink of an eye.
"Peng!" The shoji door of the wooden house was kicked to pieces, and Inuyasha hurried into the room, shouting:
"Old woman, hide!"
