My personal opinion on Gensokyo

When Grandma Kaede heard the name Kagome said, she was stunned for a moment, then shook her head in confusion.

"I haven't heard of it... We're really far away from Owari Province. Even if there is such a person there, we are unlikely to know about it. Why are you asking this?"

"Ah...nothing..."

Hearing Grandma Kaede's puzzled question, Kagome hurriedly waved her hands and explained hastily.

"Just asking casually, please don't take it personally."

As she said this, Kagome put aside her doubts.

Sure enough, it's just the names that are similar...

Volume 6: Thoughts Across Time and Space: Chapter 329: The Four Souls Jade Shattered

In the mountains and forests, Shang Yang was not in a hurry and walked leisurely.

At this moment, the voice of a young girl, who seemed very interested, sounded softly in the silent forest.

"That's the Four Souls Jade... Yeah, it's really tempting. I'm afraid that next, countless greedy monsters and despicable human mages will come to the human girl Kagome because of the Four Souls Jade."

Hearing the girl's voice that was curious but with a hint of regret, Shang Yang didn't care and spoke calmly.

"It's only natural, but don't worry about it. The Four Souls Jade will soon shatter into countless pieces. Why, do you want the Four Souls Jade?"

"Of course I do. I really want all the delicious food... That Four Souls Jade looks super delicious..."

Hearing Shang Yang's question, the young girl's childish voice was full of self-righteousness.

"If I eat the Four Souls Jade, I can take down a small character like Naraku in a matter of minutes."

"Well... the Four Souls Jade has other uses, so please be patient."

Hearing the girl's response, Shang Yang still answered calmly.

"And with Naraku's cunning, even if you eat the Four Souls Jade, it will probably be difficult to catch him."

Hearing this, the young girl snorted softly, and then the branches above Shang Yang's head made a rustling sound.

There seemed to be a faint sound of a branch breaking, and then a petite figure with long dark green hair and a white dress fell lightly from the branch.

Shang Yang was not surprised. He stretched out his arms at the right time and accurately caught the petite body falling from the branch. The young girl with a childish face who was caught by Shang Yang and fell from the branch, stretched out her arms without hesitation to hug the young man's shoulders, complaining dissatisfiedly.

"Naraku is so cunning, just like a slippery loach. Every time his whereabouts are discovered, he will slip away in a flash."

"And he tricked you several times."

Shang Yang didn't care about the young girl who was looking at him with an indignant look on her face, and he continued to expose her shortcomings calmly.

"The main reason for the danger we encountered wasn't Naraku, but an ordinary human mage."

"...Master, you are bullying me. How can you say that..."

After hearing what Shang Yang said, Saya, who was in the form of a young girl, pouted.

"...While it's true that Saya underestimated ordinary humans that time, the reason that human mage was able to threaten Saya was because he was used by Naraku and placed a curse on his palm."

"That human wizard, whose name seemed to be Mi Bao or something, was also an idiot. He didn't even recognize that the transformed Naraku was the monster that cursed him. He was even instigated by Naraku to defeat Saya."

"Although Saya was indeed frightened by the terrifying suction of the wind hole, she was not sucked into it in the end. Instead, the wind hole in the palm of the human mage's palm completely cracked, and he himself was swallowed up by the wind hole."

"normal."

Hearing this, Shang Yang calmly comforted the young girl in his arms.

"Although he's a seasoned wizard, it's no surprise that ordinary people can't see through Naraku's disguise... By the way, last time I heard from Teru, the wizard's descendants are also searching for Naraku. Has Saya seen this person recently?"

"Hmm... is that true?"

Hearing this question, Saya shook her head in confusion.

"Saya has never seen anyone like this."

Hearing Saya's answer, Shang Yang nodded. That's right. Except for the girls at home, the young girl in his arms has always been cold to outsiders, and she would not deliberately talk with monsters and humans in other places while chasing the dark monster Naraku.

Therefore, Shang Yang told the young girl in his arms directly.

"Master Mibao's descendant, his grandson, Master Miroku, will soon follow Naraku's trail and come to this area. You should pay more attention."

"……grandson?"

Saya repeated the two words and nodded her head in affirmation.

"This person, should he also be related to the 'cause and effect' that Master mentioned before?"

"That's right, but you don't have to worry about that."

Shang Yang reminded the girl with a slight nod.

"It's important to note that this mage, Maitreya, also has the same wind acupoint on his right palm as his grandfather and father. Please pay close attention to it."

"... Ugh, that annoying wind hole again."

After hearing Shang Yang's explanation, the young girl with long dark green hair suddenly fell in disdain.

Saya had a very bad impression of that wind hole that could absorb basically anything.

A few hours later, in the Cloud Courtyard deep in the clouds.

The silent and dark night quietly receded, and the eastern sky had been dyed a fish belly white. This was also the case for the Cloud Atrium located above the clouds. A ray of sunlight from the rising sun cast a faint golden color on the clouds in the Cloud Atrium. The outline of the rising sun slowly rose from the distant eastern sky, and the warm sunlight also sprinkled on the land of this country that had remained unchanged for thousands of years.

The morning sun shines on the grass growing on the clouds and the never-withering cherry trees. Large patches of light pink sway in the breeze. One by one, cherry blossom petals fall from the treetops and are blown by the wind. The pink petals fly in the air. Like the pure white clouds, the morning sun's light shines on the cherry blossom petals blown by the wind, and the fluttering light pink petals are also dyed with a touch of golden glow.

On the grassy area of ​​the Cloud Courtyard, on the winding gravel path, the figure of a young man in gray and white clothes gradually emerged.

He slightly turned sideways and looked at the rising sun in the eastern sky. Because of the dazzling sunlight, the young man narrowed his eyes slightly, and his clothes, which were mainly gray and white, were also dyed with a touch of gold by the sunlight.

It's already dawn.

While thinking this, Shang Yang moved the young girl lying on his back upwards to prevent the sleeping girl from sliding down.

Because he was not in a hurry and was also observing the area near Fengzhi Village, Shang Yang did not return to the hot spring villa directly. Instead, he walked all the way back to the ground near the Cloud Courtyard.

On the way, Saya, who was depressed after learning that another wind hole user appeared and seemed a little tired, did not bother to be polite with Shang Yang and fell asleep slowly in the arms of her creator.

After moving the sleeping Saya upwards, Shang Yang slowly walked along the winding gravel path towards the hot spring resort not far above the clouds.

However, before he had taken two steps, Shang Yang, who was carrying Saya on his back, suddenly had an idea and turned around again, looking towards the western sky.

That's the direction of Maple Village.

Shang Yang's action was like an opportunity, and a dazzling pink light shone in the distant western sky.

As the spiritual light shone, countless rays of light flew out from the dazzling center of the spiritual light, continuously cutting through the sky and falling to various places in the country.

Gazing at the spiritual light streaking across the sky like a meteor shower, Shang Yang also understood what was happening.

The Four Souls Jade shattered, and its fragments were scattered all over the land.

It seems that not long after Kagome, who was carrying the Shikon Jade, was attacked by the monster Shikon Bird, which was attracted by the power of the Shikon Jade. In order to prevent the Shikon Jade from being snatched away by the monster Shikon Bird, Kagome was quick-witted and managed to purify the monster Shikon Bird that swallowed the Shikon Jade with one arrow. However, she did not expect that this arrow would also completely shatter the Shikon Jade, and countless fragments were completely scattered by the explosion of spiritual power.

However, there's nothing bad about it.

Maple Village is not far away.

Staring blankly at the fragments of the Four Souls Jade that were bursting with dazzling light in the air, one after another across the sky, Kagome felt very uneasy.

I, I seem to be in trouble!!!

Next to Kagome, Inuyasha also instinctively felt something was wrong.

What exactly is this light...

Elsewhere in Maple Village, Granny Maple and the villagers stared in amazement at the streaks of light that streaked across the sky. Granny Maple instantly understood what had happened and subconsciously muttered to herself.

"This, this is...something's wrong now."

Volume 6: Thoughts Across Time and Space: Chapter 330: Omen

At the same time, when Kagome, Inuyasha, Grandma Kaede and the villagers were looking at the rays of light that were streaking across the sky in amazement, some other people in other parts of the country also noticed the rays of light that were streaking across the sky.

The long mountains of the west

"……Um?"

Deep in the unknown mountains, a man with long silver-white hair, wearing a pure white long-sleeved kimono, a pure white shawl draped over his shoulders, and an ordinary-style samurai sword tied around his waist, seemed a little confused. He uttered a slight hesitation, turned sideways, raised his head slightly, and looked indifferently at the several rays of light crossing the sky. There was no trace of emotion on his indifferent face.

"Huh? That's..."

He also noticed several rays of light streaking across the sky. They were not very conspicuous, but he could feel the strong demonic power contained in them. The short retainer who was following the man with silver hair and holding a human head staff also subconsciously stopped, turned around in surprise, and looked at the light streaking across the sky, confused.

The spiritual light that streaked across the sky quickly vanished without a trace. After the spiritual light in the sky disappeared, the short retainer holding the human head staff turned around and cautiously asked the silver-haired man who seemed to be in deep thought.

"S-Sesshomaru-sama, what exactly is that...?"

The things within the aura seem to be able to enhance the monsters' power...

He frowned slightly. Although he clearly sensed that the fragments of the Four Souls Jade in the light had the effect of enhancing strength, Seshomaru felt that the noble young man from the Western Country seemed to be more than a simple matter.

But so what.

Ignoring the confused retainer Xiejian, Seshomaru turned away without changing his expression and said two words coldly.

"boring."

Deep in the mountains of the East Country, deep in the unknown forests.

In the silent and uninhabited deep mountain forest, a "man" covered with the fur of a baboon monster walks slowly in the depths of the mountain forest.

Suddenly, as if having a premonition, the "man" covered in the fur of the baboon monster raised his head slightly, and through the dense branches and leaves, he saw several rays of light crossing the sky and disappearing into the horizon.

Silently watching the light across the sky disappear, the "person" hidden under the fur of the baboon monster spoke indifferently, talking to himself.

"The Four Souls Jade... the precious jade that disappeared for fifty years has once again appeared on this land."

"This moment may be an opportunity, or perhaps it is also the impending destruction..."

After spending some time thinking deeply, Naraku, the inhuman creature that hid its appearance by wearing the fur of a baboon monster, the dark monster filled with evil spirits born from the fusion of thousands of evil monsters, turned and headed towards the direction where the light of the Four Souls Jade disappeared.

Saiguo, somewhere in the castle town where the Daimyo of the Western country resides.

Merchants leading horses are constantly flowing on the streets of this castle town. Compared with the secluded and deserted countryside, this bustling castle town is much more lively. In an izakaya in this castle town, a young man in a black kimono and with black and white hair is sitting in the izakaya, eating and drinking without caring about his image.

This young man had an evil and charming appearance that was different from that of ordinary humans, but strangely, all the merchants around him turned a blind eye to this. Even the waiters in the izakaya were acting contrary to their usual behavior and diligently brought good wine and delicious food to the table in front of the young man, as if the young man in front of them was not a guest, but the owner of this izakaya.

At this moment, the young man who was wolfing down his food and drink stopped what he was doing, frowned, and looked up at the sky outside the izakaya.

In the sky with floating white clouds, there seemed to be a few faint rays of light passing by. Because the light was too faint, the people in the castle town did not notice this strange phenomenon.

However, the young man, who was a youkai, noticed these unusual lights.

"Oh...it's actually a good thing that can increase demonic power."

Holding his chin, the young man was interested but didn't care too much. However, the young man with black and white hair could also foresee what kind of chaos would be caused among the monsters if things like the fragments of the Four Souls Jade were scattered across this land.

After casually picking up the wine bowl and swallowing the last sip of the wine, Nurarihyon, the slippery monster who loved to eat and drink for free at other people's homes, spoke with regret.

"Looks like we'll have to go to Tono ahead of time."

It is still in an unknown nest deep in the mountains.

In a deep and wide cave, the ghost girl Li Tao, with a hunched back and holding a ghost witch sickle, was standing in front of a red-hot fire, carefully adding charcoal into the furnace.

This is a job that requires meticulous treatment. The firing of the pottery body is directly related to whether the ghost technique of awakening the deceased can be successful.

"Ah...it's almost done."

Wiping the sweat from her forehead, the ghost girl Li Tao turned around and asked the woman who was standing silently behind her.

"Enju, hasn't that Wawan guy come back yet?"

"Yes...Mother, Wawan hasn't come back yet."

The woman, who seemed to be distracted, was stunned when she heard the words of the ghost girl Li Tao, and replied hurriedly.

"It will probably take some time to come back."

"Is that so? Sigh, what a useless fellow."

Shaking her head, the ghost girl Li Tao stood up and walked out of the cave while shaking her head. The woman standing behind Li Tao also hurriedly followed, not daring to be negligent in the slightest, and seemed very afraid of the ghost girl Li Tao.

When they walked out of the cave, the strong sunlight made the hunched ghost girl Li Tao squint her eyes. Then, the ghost witch who was proficient in ghost magic was stunned.

Several rays of light flashed across the sky with a few floating clouds, and with the ghost girl Li Tao's knowledge, she knew what was in those rays of light.
