My personal opinion on Gensokyo

In addition to observing the beginning of the "story", Shang Yang did have other reasons for coming to Maple Village. He came here to verify some situations.

Fifty years ago, when Platycodon passed away, Shang Yang took advantage of the situation to defeat most of the "fate" causes and effects that were wandering in the flow of time and headed to the era five hundred years later.

The abnormal causal force that maintains the current "history" was also dispersed by Shang Yang.

The most crucial thing is that the "fate" cause and effect that had always threatened Platycodon and was mixed with her existence itself has been isolated by Shang Yang's soul Qinglian.

This is also the reason why Shang Yang did not care too much about the cause and effect of "fate" and came to Maple Village in his original form, rather than coming to Maple Village as an incarnation with a trace of consciousness as he did fifty years ago.

By observing this "beginning of the story", Shang Yang can also confirm that the "only history" of this "story" fifty years later, which is related to the Four Souls Jade, has caused some deviations in this "story" due to the scarcity of "fate" cause and effect.

Of course, even so, Shang Yang has no intention of taking it lightly. The outcome of everything will only be settled when this "story" is over.

"ah!!!"

It was at this moment that Kagome, who was emphasizing her name to the suspicious Inuyasha, was caught off guard and screamed as the centipede monster, who was hiding in the dark night, suddenly attacked and was grabbed by its five arms.

"Four Soul Jade! Four Soul Jade!!!"

Grabbing Kagome, the ugly face of the centipede witch, who could no longer suppress her desire for the Shikon Jewel, was filled with greed and viciousness. Her ugly, segmented body wrapped around the frightened and struggling Kagome, and as it tightened, she roared and interrogated her impatiently.

"Hand over the Four Souls Jade quickly!!!"

While the centipede-legged witch roared greedily and viciously, her ugly centipede-like body covered with limbs continued to tighten, strangling the extremely terrified weak girl who was entangled by the centipede-legged witch's lower body.

Volume 6: Thoughts Across Time and Space: Chapter 324: The Reappearance of the Four Souls Jade

What, what should I do?! If this continues...

Her body was entangled by the creepy, segmented lower body of the centipede monster, and it was getting tighter and tighter. Kagome felt as if all the bones in her body were about to be crushed by the centipede monster. Her chest was becoming increasingly difficult to breathe due to the pressure, and she was extremely frightened.

If this goes on, I will soon be strangled to death here by the centipede witch!

"What?! The Four Souls Jade?!"

Inuyasha, who was still nailed to the sacred tree, was stunned when he suddenly heard the roar of the centipede witch, and shouted to Kagome anxiously.

"Do you have the Four Souls Jade?! Give it to me now!"

Ignoring Inuyasha's anxious cries, her chest felt increasingly stuffy, and her whole body seemed to be falling apart. Kagome, whose situation had become extremely critical, gritted her teeth, as if she had given up, and reached out to press on the upper body of the centipede witch who was staring at her greedily and eagerly!

“Who, who would die here like this!!!”

The soft light pink spiritual power suddenly burst out, and the centipede witch was caught off guard by the spiritual power and was bounced back by the magic-breaking spiritual power that erupted from Kagome's body. The segmented body that had been tightly holding Kagome's weak body couldn't help but loosen.

Staring blankly at the hand that had just burst out with pink spiritual light, Kagome also recalled that it seemed that the same thing had happened when she passed by the ancient well and came here...

However, Kagome had no time to think now. As the centipede witch who was strangling Kagome's weak body loosened her lower body, Kagome, who was caught in the air by the centipede witch, fell down involuntarily and hit the ground.

“Hiss! It hurts…”

Being thrown down hard again, Kagome gasped in pain as if her whole body was falling apart.

At this moment, the centipede witch, who was flung away by the explosion of spiritual power and was about to rush forward again in anger, was entangled by countless ropes thrown from other directions and dragged to the side. At the same time, the noisy shouts of the villagers were heard.

"Caught!"

"Quickly control the monster!"

"Go on!"

The villagers who came from the village in pursuit of Kagome and the centipede witch, holding torches, swords, guns and bows and arrows, pulled the ropes hard and used their bows, arrows, swords and guns to attack the huge body of the centipede witch with all their strength.

For a moment, the centipede witch was completely besieged.

Seeing the villagers coming, and Grandma Kaede riding a horse following closely behind them, Kagome couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She rubbed her slender white calves that were so painful that they seemed about to break, stood up shakily, and looked at the centipede witch who was being besieged by the villagers with fear. Then, Kagome lowered her head in some confusion and looked at her hands carefully.

What, what's going on... It's exactly the same as when we were in the ancient well...

However, at this moment, a dazzling pink light gradually appeared on Kagome's waist...

Eh? It's glowing...inside my body...

She lowered her head blankly, staring at the pink light shining on her waist. The girl who came from modern society was completely confused about the situation.

However, when she noticed the pink light shining around Kagome's waist, the centipede witch, who was being suppressed by the villagers, suddenly widened her eyes, swung her body violently, threw away the villagers who were entangled with ropes, and rushed towards the stunned Kagome with a greedy roar!

"Four Soul Jade!!!"

“Huh?! Ah!!!”

She stared blankly at the terrifying monster that broke free from the villagers' suppression in an instant and suddenly rushed towards her. Kagome had no time to react and was hit hard by the centipede monster!

Bang! ! !

The sound of the collision seemed to be mixed with the subtle sound of something sharp piercing the tender skin.

As her weak body was slammed hard against the sacred tree, Kagome's slender waist was stained with large patches of dark red blood. And from the serious wound torn by the fangs of the centipede witch, a small pink round bead flew out and fell on the grass.

At the same time, Grandma Kaede, who came on horseback, happened to see this scene and the round jade bead that fell out of Kagome's weak body. She immediately broke out in a cold sweat and stared at the jade bead on the grass, which was glowing with pink light, in disbelief.

The Four Souls Jade that disappeared for fifty years has reappeared!

Not far away, behind the trees in the night.

Shang Yang glanced at the Four Souls Jade that fell on the grass and was emitting a soft pink glow, seemingly not caring, and nodded slightly.

As expected, the Four Souls Jade appeared to be uncontaminated by evil spirits.

Fifty years ago, with the help of the power of "fate" cause and effect, the good thoughts belonging to the shrine maiden Tsuiko deep within the Four Souls Jade were completely suppressed, and the evil thoughts of Qu Ling that polluted the entire Four Souls Jade were defeated by Shang Yang's sword. The rich "fate" cause and effect flowing in the long river of time, at the same time, Shang Yang's sword also cut off most of Qu Ling's evil thoughts, and was suppressed by the good thoughts in the Four Souls Jade, that is, the soul of the shrine maiden Tsuiko. The Four Souls Jade contaminated by evil energy was also purified again and remained in Kagome's body.

Looking at the gem that was emitting a soft and spiritual light and seemed extremely pure, Shang Yang looked away without caring and instead looked up into the air. When he saw the ugly centipede witch with a greedy look on her face after he found the Four Souls Jade, Shang Yang casually put down his right hand that he had just raised subconsciously.

...Never mind, I'll let you try it out. Will this Four Souls Jade be contaminated after coming into contact with evil energy?

"Four Souls Jade?! Hey! Woman! Quickly pull out the arrow that's sealing me!"

Similarly, seeing the Shikon Jewel falling to the ground, Inuyasha couldn't help but shout anxiously to Kagome who was knocked into the sacred tree.

"We can't let the Centipede Demon absorb the power of the Four Souls Jade! Otherwise, everyone here will die!!!"

"Wha, what?!"

Kagome, who was hit hard against the sacred tree and felt like she was almost killed, was stunned when she heard Inuyasha's anxious shout and subconsciously looked at the pale pink jade bead falling in the distance.

"Haha, don't try to stop me!"

Seeing that the Four Souls Jade had flown to the grass on the ground, the centipede witch hovering in the air grinned fiercely and suddenly rushed down, sticking out her tongue and rolling up the Four Souls Jade on the ground, her voice full of pride and viciousness.

"The Four Soul Jade is already mine!!!"

The long tongue rolled up the Four Souls Jade that was emitting a soft pink glow. In front of everyone's astonished gaze, the centipede witch swallowed the Four Souls Jade with a sinister grin.

"You damned humans, just wait to die!!!"

Along with the centipede witch's wild roar, her upper body skin, which was originally like that of a human, was suddenly torn apart, as if it was torn apart from the inside and fell off, bleeding. Her upper body, which had completely lost its human posture, had a cracked mouth and let out an extremely wild roar.

"Powerful force! Endless demonic energy is surging~!"

"See! The Centipede Demon is absorbing the power of the Four Souls Jade!"

Seeing this scene, Inuyasha couldn't help but shout more urgently to the bewildered Kagome.

"Quickly pull out the arrow that seals me! Let me deal with her!!!"

Volume 6: Thoughts Across Time and Space: Chapter 325: Inuyasha is about to be tricked again

No, there is no other way!

Hearing Inuyasha's urgent shouts, Kagome gritted her teeth, turned around, stepped on the branches wrapped around the solid trunk of the sacred tree, and climbed up the sacred tree.

Although no one knows what the Four Souls Jade is, it seems that the villagers are unable to deal with this ferocious monster, so they can only let this strange guy sealed here deal with it!

"Don't touch that arrow, Kagome!"

Seeing Kagome's actions, Grandma Kaede on the other side couldn't help but get very anxious and shouted to Kagome.

"That's the sealing arrow that sealed Inuyasha! We can't let Inuyasha break free from the seal... Ugh!"

Before Grandma Feng could finish her shout, her upper body had completely lost its human form, and her centipede-like lower body was filled with a strong demonic aura. The centipede-legged demon woman, eager to squander the powerful strength she gained from the Four Souls Jade, swung her body and threw out the villagers who were constantly shooting with bows and arrows. Grandma Feng almost fell off her frightened horse.

"Hurry up! Woman!"

Seeing this, Inuyasha also anxiously questioned Kagome.

"You don't want those people to die, do you?!"

"You guy!"

Seeing the villagers unable to protect themselves and hurriedly fleeing from the attack range of the centipede witch, Kagome gritted her teeth, reached out and grabbed the sealing arrow that sealed Inuyasha, and pulled it out with all her strength!

"I told you! My name is Kagome!!!"

Boom!!! The sound of the fin wheel is so loud!

Clack… Clack…

The demon-breaking spiritual power attached to the sealing arrow suddenly burst out, and then, with a crackling sound, the sealing arrow that nailed Inuyasha to the sacred tree also shattered...

"Haha! I've finally gotten rid of this broken seal!!!"

After sensing the shattering of the sealing arrow, Inuyasha's body was once again filled with surging demonic power. He laughed triumphantly, pushed Kagome away in front of him, jumped off the sacred tree, and shouted triumphantly to the centipede demon woman who was fighting with the villagers.

"Hey, old woman! Your opponent is me! The Four Souls Jade also belongs to me!"

"what?!"

The centipede witch, who had already noticed that Inuyasha had broken the seal and escaped, became extremely angry when she heard Inuyasha's arrogant shouting. She turned around and rushed towards Inuyasha with a roar!

"Damn half-demon! Die!!!"

"Hey! That's exactly what I wanted to say, old woman!"

Seeing the centipede witch rushing towards him with a loud roar, Inuyasha also revealed a ferocious smile of satisfaction, and rushed forward as well, raising his right hand high with a cold light flashing!

"Soul! Iron! Claws!"

puff! ! !

“Aaaaaaaah!!!”

The angry roar of the centipede witch suddenly turned into an earth-shattering scream. As the centipede witch screamed, its huge body shattered into countless pieces, falling to the ground one by one from mid-air. Its limbs kept twitching, as if the remains were not completely dead yet.

Inuyasha threw it off and it fell from the branches of the sacred tree, landing on the grass. A huge piece of its body also fell next to Kagome. Under Kagome's horrified gaze, the monster's body covered with thick and dirty blood suddenly twitched.

"Ah! It, it seems to be still alive!"

Kagome, who was frightened again, pointed at the remains of the centipede witch and screamed in panic.

"Don't be afraid! Kagome, have you seen the glowing remains of the monster?"

At this time, Grandma Kaede also brought the villagers to Kagome's side and spoke to her anxiously.

"The Four Souls Jade should be inside that broken body! If we don't take it out, this monster can be resurrected even if it dies many times!"

"Well, even if you say so, mother-in-law..."

Hearing this, Kagome felt a little embarrassed and carefully looked at the pieces of flesh and debris on the ground. When Kagome saw one of the pieces of flesh and blood that was shining with spiritual light, she was stunned and subconsciously raised her hand to point at the piece of monster's body covered with thick blood.

"over there!"

Seeing the remains of the monster that Kagome was pointing at, Grandma Kaede stepped forward without hesitation, bent down, and took out the glowing Four Souls Jade from the remains of the centipede monster.

After Grandma Feng took out the Four Souls Jade from the monster's body covered in thick, dirty blood, the countless centipede monster remains scattered on the ground stopped shaking and twitching. All the flesh and blood on the remains weathered away, leaving only the dried monster skeletons.

Gazing at the Four Souls Jade glowing pink in her palm, Grandma Feng's old face revealed a flash of nostalgia, melancholy and many other emotions.

Finally, the elderly grandmother Kaede sighed deeply, turned around, reached out and held the hand of the somewhat confused Kagome, solemnly placed the Shikon Jade in Kagome's palm, and gave extremely solemn instructions.

"This Four Souls Jade is now in your hands, Kagome."

"Eh? Um..."

Looking at the strange jade bead in her hand, Kagome raised her head and asked in confusion.

"...Why is this Four Souls Jade in my body? Doesn't this jade grant monsters great power?"

"Hey! That's right, the Four Souls Jade is useless in the hands of ordinary humans!"

It was at this moment that Inuyasha crushed the skeleton of the centipede witch with one foot and spoke to the stunned Kagome with a look of disdain.

When Inuyasha saw the Shikon Jewel being handed over to a girl who looked very similar to the hateful shrine maiden who nailed him to the sacred tree by an old woman he didn't know at all, the embarrassing memory of how he had tried countless times to snatch the Shikon Jewel from that hateful shrine maiden fifty years ago but had never succeeded suddenly flooded back into his mind.

Inuyasha was in a very bad mood. He snorted disdainfully and grinned smugly at Kagome and Grandma Kaede.
