My personal opinion on Gensokyo

Shortly after Shangyang and Kikyo left Maple Village along the rugged road, there was a sound in the bushes by the roadside. Inuyasha jumped out of the bushes, lay down carefully, smelled the scent left on the road, and showed a smug smile.

"Don't even think about getting rid of me, you two. I'm definitely going to get the Four Souls Jade!"

Volume 5: The Miko of the Warring States Period: Chapter 252: The Strange Penglai Island

After leaving Maple Village and traveling for three days, Kikyo and Shang Yang finally arrived at the East Country coast on the morning of the third day. At the coast, Kikyo and Shang Yang also met the villagers living in the coastal villages.

"Miko-sama, please save us!"

An elderly villager wearing tattered clothes full of patches begged Kikyo with a panicked look on his face.

"Ever since that ghost island mysteriously appeared on the sea, ghosts have been coming to our village every night to kill the villagers!"

Following the direction pointed by the villagers, on the sea surface, shrouded in thick fog, a strange island like a crescent moon with protruding at both ends appeared faintly.

Penglai Island, which appears only once every fifty years...

Looking sideways at the strange island looming on the sea, Shang Yang seemed to be lost in thought.

Every fifty years, the barrier on Penglai Island will periodically weaken, and when the barrier weakens, it will attract monsters to invade the island.

The monsters that attacked this village were probably attracted from Penglai Island...

Hearing the villagers' request, Kikyo turned sideways and cast her gaze towards Penglai Island shrouded in thick fog, frowning slightly.

"I understand."

She agreed to this without hesitation. After waiting for the villagers who were thanking her profusely to leave, Kikyo turned to look at Shang Yang who was still looking at Penglai Island on the sea, and asked softly.

"Shang Yang, can you take me to that island?"

"Take you to the island?"

Shang Yang, who was pulled back from his thoughts by Kikyo's words, was stunned for a moment, then he reacted.

Kikyo was asking herself if she could bring Feng to Penglai Island just like she did last time.

"Not likely, the distance is a bit far."

Shaking his head, Shang Yang explained calmly.

"Also, the power of the island itself causes significant interference, making it difficult to accurately reach the island."

Shang Yang glanced at the calm-looking Kikyo without any expression, coughed, and suggested.

"Well, but I can fly over there. It's not that difficult to fly over with you in my arms..."

"Is it……"

Hearing Shang Yang's answer, Kikyo nodded thoughtfully, indicating that he understood.

"Let's go, Shang Yang, and look for it in the village."

Hearing these words suddenly, Shang Yang couldn't help but feel puzzled and followed Platycodon who was already walking towards the village.

"What are you looking for in the village?"

"Looking for a boat."

"Uh……"

Hearing Kikyo's answer, Shang Yang couldn't help but complain with his eyes half open.

"If you don't want me to fly up with you, just tell me..."

Not long after Kikyo and Shangyang left here, a dog demon wearing a fire rat fur coat came up with him, lying on the ground and sniffing around with his sensitive nose. When he lay on the beach where Shangyang and Kikyo had just stayed and sniffed again, Inuyasha raised his head and showed a smug smile.

"Hey, are you heading to the village? Don't even think about getting rid of me!"

Not long ago, deep in the mountains some distance from this beach.

A strange young man with long silver-white hair, wearing a pure white long-sleeved kimono, a pure white shawl on his shoulders, and an ordinary samurai sword tied around his waist, was walking alone in the mountains. Suddenly, a loud shout from behind him made him stop.

"Kill Jiuling 6咝VI奇八二手? Master Shengwan!"

The monster, dressed in dark red clothes and carrying a fiery red long-handled fan on his back, with a flushed face, knelt on one knee behind the nobleman with silver-white hair and introduced himself to the heir left by the former overlord of the Western Kingdom, Dog General Douya King.

"I used to be your father's subordinate, my name is Red Demon."

As he finished speaking, a burly monster with a pale face, who was also kneeling on one knee and holding a huge copper cannon, introduced himself.

"I am Qi Tian."

Turning around, Seshomaru, the silver-haired nobleman from the Western Country, looked at the two monsters indifferently, his tone indifferent.

"Father is dead."

"Yes."

The monster Qi Tian answered calmly.

"We know about this."

"Then you should stop following me."

Leaving these words indifferently, Seshomaru turned and left.

"Please wait a moment!"

Seeing that Sesshomaru was about to leave, the monster Red Evil Ghost spoke hurriedly.

"We are going to destroy the Four Fighting Gods on Penglai Island."

The monster Qi Tian also spoke hurriedly.

"This is also your father's legacy."

After stopping and being silent for a while, Seshomaru spoke lightly.

"I am not interested."

After saying that, Sesshomaru left without paying any attention to the Red Evil Ghost and Saiten behind him.

……

Without Seshomaru's help, the result of the challenge between Inu no Taisho Toga's former subordinates, the monsters Hong Xiegui and Qi Tian, ​​to the four monster gods who occupied Penglai Island, was naturally obvious. They both died quickly at the hands of one of the four monster gods, Kirara, and were burned to ashes by Kirara's flames.

Glancing at the monster Qi Tian who was muttering to himself "Lord Seshomaru, I will die with my eyes open..." before being burned to ashes, Kirara, one of the Four Monster Gods with long fiery red hair, said disdainfully.

"What a vulnerable fellow, but I'll take these two nice trophies."

As he spoke, Ji Luo walked over and was about to put away the long-handled fan and copper cannon left by Hong Xiegui and Qi Tian. Suddenly, with a sharp sound breaking through the air, a light green demonic whip instantly lashed towards Ji Luo.

At the same instant, he picked up the long-handled fan, turned sideways and swung the demon whip back. Ji Luo couldn't help but reveal an interested and indifferent smile.

"Are there any living guys..."

In the light mist, Seshomaru walked slowly to the front of Kirara. Looking at the four demon gods in front of him and the red demon's fan in the hands of the four demon gods, Seshomaru's cold expression did not change at all.

"Oh... So, you are the Lord Seshomaru that guy was talking about?"

Looking at Seshomaru in front of him, Kirara asked with great interest.

Without answering Kirara, Seshomaru simply asked indifferently.

"...You, you claim to be a god?"

"Exactly."

He was calm and did not answer.

Hearing this, Seshomaru raised his right hand, revealing the sharp nails on his slender fingers, and spoke with disdain.

"……ridiculous."

At the same time, in a seaside village in the distance.

Carefully lifting her feet, she stepped into the fishing boat used by the village fishermen. Platycodon took a few steps forward, turned around, and sat down gently.

Then, Shang Yang also stepped into the fishing boat, sat down, picked up two oars, and began rowing towards Penglai Island shrouded in thick fog.

"Kikyo, isn't this a bit imprudent?"

While rowing the boat, Shang Yang casually asked Jiegeng who was sitting at the bow.

"We are still unclear about the situation on Penglai Island."

"There's no time to gather intelligence."

Frowning slightly, Kikyo replied calmly.

"Because of the protective barrier, this Penglai Island may disappear at any time. Besides, there is no need to worry."

Having said that, Platycodon grandiflorum pointed to the shore with a calm expression.

"We still have reinforcements."

"Ah, Doctor VII, Lu 1, Shirt II, jiu er..."

Upon hearing this, Shang Yang also understood what Jie Geng meant. He turned around and looked at the distant shore. He saw a fiery red figure baring its fangs and claws at the fishing boat. Shang Yang shrugged helplessly.

"...That's good. If necessary, we can throw him out to use as a shield."

The beach on the shore.

"Hey! Don't run! You two!"

It took Inuyasha quite some time to smell Shang Yang and Kikyo's whereabouts. When he rushed over, he saw Shang Yang and Kikyo already rowing a fishing boat towards Penglai Island. Inuyasha was now shouting angrily at the fishing boat.

"Hand over the Four Souls Jade to me!"

After shouting for a long time and finding it useless, Inuyasha made a "tsk" sound and muttered to himself in dissatisfaction.

"You think I can do nothing if you run like this?! Tsk, let me show you two what I can do!"

After making up his mind to give it a try, Inuyasha suddenly jumped into the sea, stirred the water around, and then swam towards the fishing boat with all his might, shouting loudly.

"Hey! Don't even think about running away. I'll definitely get the Four Souls Jade!"

Hmm... standard dog paddle...

Volume 5: The Miko of the Warring States Period: Chapter 253: In the Thick Fog

Not to mention Kikyo and Shangyang who rowed into the thick fog covering Penglai Island and planned to go to the island to investigate, and Inuyasha who jumped into the water from the beach and swam after them, another short battle also ended on the cliff on the other side of the sea.

puff! ! !

As the two afterimages passed by each other, Seshomaru, who was facing away from Shitoshin Kiara, still looked indifferent, while Shitoshin Kiara, who was also facing away from Seshomaru, showed an expression of disbelief. Then, his whole body was engulfed in flames, and his body disappeared completely in the flames.

"...Why would my father be so incompetent..."

Lowering his raised right hand, Seshomaru muttered to himself indifferently.

Then, Seshomaru wanted to walk away, there was no need to stay.

"...I see. You are truly powerful."

Suddenly, just as Seshomaru was about to leave, the playful voice of Shitoshin Kirara, who was supposed to be torn apart by Seshomaru's claws, came from behind him.

Glancing out of the corner of his eye, Seshomaru saw Kira's head emerging from the pile of flames that had just spread out on the ground.

With a sinister smile of self-satisfaction, there was something else in Ji Luo's tone...

"However, it's better not to underestimate the power of God."

As Kirara finished his words, the head of the Four Fighting Gods Kirara, which appeared from the flames, suddenly floated up and pounced towards Seshomaru.

Without any change in his expression, Seshomaru turned around, raised his hand, and shook off the flying head of Kirara.

However, this was exactly what the Four Fighting Gods wanted. As Sesshomaru turned around, a ball of fire burning on the ground behind him suddenly turned into a burning firebird and suddenly pounced at Sesshomaru's back.

Tsk! ! !

The sharp claws of the firebird left four deep scratches on Seshomaru's back. Seshomaru frowned, turned around, raised his hand, and instantly shattered the bird made of fire into scattered sparks.

"You can no longer escape from my grasp...hahahaha..."

With the triumphant laughter of the Four Fighting Gods, Jiro's head and all the firebirds disappeared in the air at the same time.

Watching indifferently as one of the Four Great Monster Gods, Kirara, disappeared in laughter, Seshomaru turned around and looked at the strange island looming in the mist on the distant sea, muttering to himself.

"...Is that Penglai Island?"

"...It seems I'm late."
