Chapter 93 There are monsters in this village

After hearing Master Maitreya's question, Higurashi Kagome finally remembered what she had forgotten.

That’s right! In the beginning, didn’t Master Maitreya suspect that something was wrong with her just because Naraku’s subordinate, Saiteng Sheng, appeared next to her?!

As a result, because Kiyohime acted too in love, Higurashi Kagome forgot about this matter without realizing it. If Master Maitreya hadn't brought it up now, she might have realized it when she was summarizing it before going to bed.

"Naru?"

Qingji read out the name of this great conspirator of the Warring States Period, and quickly denied it three times: "I don't know him, I haven't heard of him, he has nothing to do with me."

Master Maitreya did not question it, but described the most fierce victory and asked her if she had seen it before.

"Ah, I have seen these little bugs before." Qing Ji showed an unhappy expression, "I see, the Naraku you are talking about is the secretive guy who commands these bugs, right?"

The members of the Naraku team's eyes lit up: "He came to find you?"

"Yes, you want to steal my things." Qing Ji said dissatisfiedly, "It's really annoying. I didn't succeed the first time, and they sent people to beat me. After they failed again, they started to do little things..."

Qiye was shocked. Is Naraku so stubborn? He actually dared to provoke Qinghime. I wonder if this woman can be regarded as the grandma among monsters according to the age when the legend was formed?! What’s more, it was Qing who became a heroic spirit after the legend was sublimated.

Ji!

But then again, if Naraku wants to steal something...

Could it be the Jade of Four Souls?

Sure enough, Master Maitreya also thought of this and asked eagerly: "What does he want to steal from you?"

Inuyasha looked at Higurashi Kagome, who shook her head blankly.

Qiye also asked curiously: "What is it?"

Qingji, who originally didn't want to say anything, saw that Qiye had already asked, so she hesitated, raised her hand, and a fragment floated out from her palm.

It is indeed a fragment of the Shikon Jade. At the same time, the system also reminds Qiye that it contains the energy of the Holy Grail fragment.

Higurashi Kagome was stunned.

InuYasha was shocked: "Hey, Kagome, didn't you say you didn't see it?"

"I really didn't see it..." Kagome Higurashi was more incomprehensible than anyone else, "I couldn't see it until I came out of Kiyohime's skin."

Qiye thought about it for a while, and felt that it might be the aura of the heroic spirit that blocked the aura of the Jade fragments of the Four Souls, but for people in this world, it might be the first time they saw it.

Qing Ji took the fragment back into her body and said proudly: "I am professional at hiding aura."

... I believe this Qiye, after all, he is a very skilled stalker.

Higurashi Kagome reluctantly accepted this statement, thinking that Kiyohime had strengthened this aspect, so she encountered a special case... maybe Kikyo could see it.

"So, what is going on with that Naraku? Do you know this thing? Tell me about it." Qing Ji was also very unhappy that someone was trying to steal her things at every turn, so she decided to fight her every time she met her.

convenient.

So Higurashi Kagome and the others explained from the beginning what was going on with Naraku.

"Let me summarize." Kiyohime confirmed, "This Naraku was originally a human named Ghost Spider, and then turned into a half-demon. He separated Inuyasha and your previous life and wanted to take away this thing called the Shikon Tama.

Chengdayoukai, you traveled to this era from 500 years later, brought back the Four Souls Jade, and broke it...is that so?"

Higurashi Kagome said guiltily: "Yes, it's all my fault."

"How can you say it's your fault?" Qing Ji held her hand in emotion, "There is no doubt that this is all that Naraku's fault! I can't forgive this guy for actually breaking up a couple of lovers!"

Kagome Higurashi smiled awkwardly and looked at Inuyasha quietly, who fell silent.

Master Maitreya coughed and hinted: "So, about this fragment of the Four Souls Jade."

"Sorry, I can't give it to you." Qingji smiled, "I need it very much now."

Nanaya pretended not to know and said: "Kiyohime, Miss Kagome is the reincarnation of the shrine maiden who protects the Shikon Jade. If possible, give it back to her."

Anyway, if Kiyohime goes on the road with them, the distance is not far, Kiyohime won't disappear, and he can still take him to Himeji Castle to meet Xingbuhime.

Hearing what Qiye said, Qingji hesitated: "But..."

Higurashi Kagome said awkwardly: "Forget it, let's leave it with Kiyohime for now. If necessary, we'll come back and ask for help... Naraku probably can't take it away, and this fragment is not contaminated. I trust Kiyohime."

Qingji was satisfied: "I also think it's safer to leave me here."

Although InuYasha had some objections, Master Maitreya and the others thought about it and thought it would be better to spread it out a bit to avoid any accidents. InuYasha had no choice but to agree.

After everything is settled and discussed, everyone can rest here peacefully for a night and hit the road again tomorrow.

When she woke up the next day, Qing Ji had already prepared breakfast virtuously - only for her and Qiye, of course.

Higurashi Kagome and the others also guessed that this would be the case, so they didn't protest. They borrowed tools and made their own breakfast, then packed their luggage and set off on the road.

"As for Himeji Castle, it's not very far from here. We can stay overnight in a village in the middle tonight, and we'll be there by the evening of the next day."

There is nothing wrong with this arrangement, and everyone should follow this path.

However, Kiyohime looked very moved when she saw Higurashi Kagome being carried away by Inuyasha, and asked Nanye shyly: "Do you need me to carry you?"

Qiye: "...No, thank you, I can."

No matter how much he wanted to rest, he wouldn't let a girl carry him!!!

Master Maitreya was envious at the side: "Ah, why doesn't anyone ask me this?"

Coral sneered, and Master Maitreya got excited, pretending that nothing happened just now, and changed the subject: "It's so peaceful today -"

This is true. I didn't encounter monsters who came to steal the pieces of the Four Souls Jade, nor did I encounter Naraku causing trouble. The journey was extremely smooth.

…At least that was the case until they arrived at the village where they planned to stay.

"Ah, are they the mage and the exorcist?" Hearing that the guests staying overnight in the village had such identities, the elderly village chief came to visit with his cane, "Sir! Please help us!"

Coral, from the exorcist family, had seen many such things, so he helped the other person out of habit: "Old man, there is no need to be polite. If you have anything, you can just tell us. We will do our best to help if we can. Just treat it as accommodation fee."

.”

The village chief knelt down tremblingly and sighed deeply.

"Oh...that's it. About a few days ago, a good man in our village was attacked by a monster!"

After hearing this, everyone's expressions became serious.

Although they didn't feel the evil spirit or anything, what if they were in the same situation as Kiyohime? Don't be careless!

"Are you seriously injured?" Qiye asked.

"Oh, he's not injured." The village chief replied.

Everyone: "......???"

Coral asked cautiously: "Is there something wrong with your brain?" Like being scared crazy or something?

"That's not the case." The village chief continued to answer.

Everyone: "………………???"

I always feel like...there's something not quite right about this commission.

InuYasha asked impatiently: "So what does that monster look like?"

"I didn't see it, but according to Aji... the child who was attacked, it was a horse demon. It has four hooves underneath, but it has the upper body of a person. That's it. The head is still that of a horse. It's scary.

Very!"

Qiye was strangely silent.

Higurashi Kagome was still asking: "What did this horse demon do?"

"Suddenly appeared in Aji's house and talked to him with a horse's head on his head. He screamed in fright, and then the whole village rushed over, and the horse demon ran away from the window."

Seven nights:"…………"

Ah, no matter how bad it sounds, it sounds like it’s the one he’s thinking of...

While Nanaya was silent, Higurashi Kagome and the others had already started discussing.

"It doesn't sound like there's any harm in it..."

"Not necessarily. If someone comes and runs away, he must be weak, right? Maybe he is afraid of being beaten."

During the discussion, Aji knocked on the door and came in: "Village chief, I heard that a demon slayer is here?"

The village chief quickly called him over and asked him to say something more.

"Apart from the fact that the horse demon always appears in the middle of the night, is there nothing else you can say?" Aji also felt aggrieved.

Higurashi Kagome was shocked: "So it appeared more than once?"

Aji nodded with a heavy expression: "I don't even dare to sleep now..."

"Sorry to interrupt, can I ask, what did he...that horse demon say to you? After coming here so many times, you shouldn't have asked anything, right?" Qiye asked with a subtle expression.

Aji looked aggrieved: "I don't know! I was so frightened when he appeared that I couldn't hear what he was saying... I did ask him who he was and what he was doing, but when I recalled it afterwards,

I just remember the 'fusion' thing... He must want to eat me!"

Qiye wanted to complain: "...No, if I really want to eat you, you will never survive now, right? I always give you time to ask for help."

Aji disagreed with this statement: "Then what does he want to do every time he comes in the middle of the night? To watch me sleep?"

Qiye stood up: "It's useless just to say that. Why don't we go to where you live and check out the situation. Maybe there will be any clues."

Aji agreed, so Qiye, who volunteered, went to Aji's house with Master Maitreya who was pushed out by others, and asked Aji to sleep as usual. They quietly waited for the other party to attack.

Master Maitreya whispered: "I don't feel the evil spirit. Where is Master Xuanzang?"

Qiye also whispered: "Me too, but I think there might be other possibilities besides monsters."

"What is possible?" Master Maitreya asked with great interest, "Qing Ji like that?"

Qiye nodded in the darkness: "Maybe, it's the target I'm looking for."

"By the way, you said you have a target in Himeji Castle..." Because I didn't really understand the part about traveling through time and space, Master Maitreya didn't ask about the target in detail before. Now is the time to continue.

Ask, "What would be your goal?"

"It's probably... an existence that shouldn't appear in this era. You can understand it as transcendence. The same is true for Qing Ji. She is actually dead. I will make it clear to her and let her leave this era as soon as possible - etc.

, do you feel it? It seems like someone is approaching!"
