My personal opinion on Gensokyo

"stop!"

Noticing Shang Yang's playful expression, Kagome, who became increasingly alert, subconsciously shouted worriedly.

"You promised me that you wouldn't hurt Inuyasha or Granny again!!!"

Shang Yang, who was just about to slap the still shocked Inuyasha away, stopped his action in surprise when he heard Kagome's worried cry. He glanced sideways at the beautiful girl who was staring at him, and sighed speechlessly.

Then, the young man with gray and white hair turned around casually and cast his gaze at Inuyasha, who wanted to retract Tessaiga, but found that Tessaiga was firmly held by Shangyang's slender fingers, and casually said two words.

"sit down."

Bang! ! !

This time, Inuyasha, who hadn't reacted in time, fell to the ground in an instant, creating a crack in the ground that was the same size as his body, and fainted again...

Seeing that Inuyasha fainted again, Shang Yang casually threw aside Tessaiga, which was held by his index and middle fingers and had returned to its original form because Inuyasha fainted. He glanced at Kagome, who looked a little lost, and began to leave.

In the distance, Grandma Feng, who was still trying her best to get up, could only watch as Kagome's slender wrist was grasped by Shang Yang, and she and Shang Yang disappeared in an instant.

Volume 6: Thoughts Across Time and Space: Chapter 341: Resurrection Ceremony

In the East Country, in an unknown nest deep in the mountains.

In a cave on the mountain, the hunched and aged ghost girl Li Tao stared gloomily at the person in front of him. She had long black hair like a waterfall and wore a red and white witch costume, but her eyes were dead and there was no trace of life in her cold and aloof witch. Her secret thoughts kept churning in her heart.

I had originally planned to rely on this shrine maiden who had gained fame fifty years ago to collect the fragments of the Four Souls Jade for me, but I didn't expect her body to be discovered just as I was making it. What I didn't expect was that the spirit of this shrine maiden had actually been reincarnated again...

Thinking of this, the aging ghost witch turned around and glanced at the cave entrance where the sunlight was pouring in, muttering to herself.

"That strange monster who threatened me to bring this miko back to the human world must have known for a long time that her soul had been reincarnated... What a disgusting and abominable creature. However, I am not forced into a desperate situation yet..."

While muttering to herself, the hunchbacked ghost witch Li Tao turned around again and stared at the dead-eyed and confused witch, with a hint of sinister complacency on her old and withered face.

"Since the witch was resurrected by me, I know how I can control her. When the time comes..."

Thinking of the indifferent gaze of the mysterious young man with gray hair, the cunning ghost witch was filled with resentment.

"Hehe... After this powerful miko is resurrected, I wonder if you can withstand her magic-destroying arrows..."

"...Oh, I'm ready."

When the ghost girl Li Tao was making a secret and dark plan in her heart, a casual voice suddenly sounded behind the hunched ghost witch.

Hearing this sudden young voice, the ghost witch was startled and turned around subconsciously, then was stunned again.

He was not panicked by the gray-haired young man who suddenly appeared behind him, stroking his chin and looking at the witch in a shrine costume with confused and dead eyes, but because the hunched old ghost witch caught sight of the black-haired girl lying on the ground in the cave, with her hands tied behind her back with a thick rope and her long white legs also tied tightly with a thick rope.

Although the black-haired girl had her eyes tightly closed and was in a coma, the moment she saw the girl, the hunched ghost witch was surprised, and a hint of excitement flashed across her old face.

"...Yes, this is the reincarnation of the miko. She has indeed been reincarnated again."

"Let's not talk about this yet."

Touching his chin, Shang Yang naturally stared at the weak witch in red and white shrine maiden costume. Her clear eyes like water were still filled with dead silence and confusion. After secretly sighing in his heart, "It seems that she looks better without clothes", the young man with gray and white hair seemed to ask gently.

"Can we start now?"

"Of course! Of course..."

Because of her excitement, there was a hint of trembling sharpness in the ghost girl Li Tao's tone.

"It only takes a moment! The miko Kikyo will be called back to the world once again!"

As she agreed, the hunchbacked demon witch impatiently leaned on her long demon witch sickle, reached out to pull the thick rope that tied the unconscious Kagome, picked up Kagome on her back, and walked towards the cave entrance.

Looking at the old ghost witch who couldn't wait to carry the unconscious Kagome out of the cave to perform the secret ghost magic, Shang Yang also took two steps forward, bent down, casually reached out and grabbed the white and soft hand of "Kikyamuni" who was kneeling on the ground in the cave with dead and confused eyes, and carefully helped her up.

Like a puppet, the witch without a trace of life was slowly lifted up. Holding the witch's cold, white and tender hand, Shang Yang, who was about to take her out of the cave, looked at the puppet-like witch thoughtfully, shrugged, still holding the witch's soft jade hand, and helped the dead and confused witch out of the nest in the cave.

Outside the cave, the unconscious Kagome had been placed in a sarcophagus that had been prepared long ago by the ghost girl Li Taoan. Then, the hunchbacked ghost girl picked up the pottery jars placed next to the sarcophagus and poured the herbal juice with a bad smell in them onto Kagome's delicate body in the sarcophagus.

After the unpleasant-smelling medicine had basically covered Kagome's fragile body, the pungent smell of the herbs, coupled with the uncomfortable feeling brought by the effect of the medicine, made the unconscious Kagome open her eyes with difficulty.

"It's a, a terrible smell...Where is this?!"

"Bad smell?"

Hearing the words that Kagome murmured subconsciously as she opened her eyes in a daze, the ghost witch who was still pouring herbs into the sarcophagus showed a sinister and smug look on her face.

"Little girl, just enjoy it. When this old woman's secret medicine takes full effect, your soul won't be able to stay in your body any longer..."

"Spirit, soul?"

Enduring the pungent and unpleasant smell of herbs, Kagome, who had just woken up, gradually felt that the thick liquid covering her body made her body feel nauseous and dizzy.

As this uncomfortable and nauseous feeling of dizziness continued to flood into Kagome's mind, the thick liquid covering Kagome's body gradually began to emit a strange light green light, and the ghost girl Li Tao, who saw this scene, also showed obvious joy on her old and dry face.

"Very good, the effect of the ghost medicine has clearly appeared. Once your soul is forced out by the effect of the herbs, this old woman's wish will soon be fulfilled!"

"...Wish?"

Enduring waves of nausea and dizziness, Kagome repeated these two words in confusion.

"Then, what is that..."

"It's not your turn as a little girl to care about this."

After answering impatiently, the ghost girl Li Tao turned around and happened to see the confused witch who looked like a puppet brought out by Shang Yang.

Seeing Shang Yang bringing Kikyo over, the ghost girl Li Tao still maintained a hint of pride on her dry face. She made way, pointed at the staggering Kikyo, and gave a sly smile to Kagome who was struggling to resist the nausea and dizziness brought by the effects of the medicine.

"Little girl, just struggle as hard as you can. Soon, I will call back Kikyo's soul from your body."

Kikyo, Kikyo?! She, she is Kikyo...

Kagome, who was barely resisting the dizziness, subconsciously opened her eyes wide when she heard these words. She was surprised to see a confused and cold woman standing next to the sarcophagus. She had long black hair like a waterfall. Although her appearance was almost exactly the same as hers, there seemed to be some differences between her and her.

It was precisely because Kagome lost her mind at this moment that the effectiveness of the herbs took further effect. The nauseous and dizzy feeling once again attacked Kagome's mind, making her feel as if she was about to faint in an instant.

"Hehe, resist..." Looking at Kagome's painful appearance, the devil girl Rito with a sly smile explained to Shangyang who was standing next to Kikyo.

"The more this little girl struggles, the faster my ghost magic secret medicine will take effect, and the faster her soul will be released from her body. Just wait a little longer... Hmm?!"

The ghost girl Li Tao, who was explaining proudly, suddenly showed a strange look. Shang Yang, who noticed this, also glanced at the ghost girl Li Tao with a strange look on her face and asked casually.

"what's up?"

"...someone is fighting with the terracotta warriors I, an old woman, have deployed at the foot of the mountain."

Frowning, the ghost girl Li Tao said in great confusion.

"Who is it...?"

"Probably her companions."

Staring at Kagome who was still painfully resisting the effects of the herbs, Shang Yang spoke casually without being surprised.

"This little girl has some companions with her. They must be the ones who came to the door."

"Oh, my friend..."

Hearing these words, the hunchbacked ghost witch rolled her eyes and gave a strange sneer to the gray-haired young man with his back to her, but her tone was full of temptation.

"By the time they arrive here, the old woman's resurrection ritual will have been completed. My lord, how about letting Kikyo deal with them?"

"Using the witch's striking resemblance to this little girl's to deal with her companions..."

After hearing the ghost girl Li Tao's bewitching words, Shang Yang said this thoughtfully with a half-smile on his face.

“…Then let’s do this.”

Hearing that Shang Yang nonchalantly agreed to her plan, the ghost girl Li Tao also showed a hint of pride. Leaning on her ghost witch sickle, she quickly returned to the cave nest.

W-What?! Is it Inuyasha?!

Kagome, who was still struggling to resist, heard the conversation between Rito and Shangyang. She suddenly widened her clear eyes in horror and looked with fear at the cold and aloof witch who was still standing quietly beside the sarcophagus like a puppet, with a dead and confused expression.

No, no! It's dangerous! Inuyasha, hurry, get out of here... Ugh!!!

Volume 6: Thoughts Across Time and Space: Chapter 342: The Arrow of Devil Breaking

Because of the conversation between the ghost girl Rito and Shang Yang, Kagome, who was bound and placed in the sarcophagus and felt extremely uneasy, relaxed her mind again, and this time, the ghost girl's secret medicine was fully effective.

As the girl screamed in pain, a light white spiritual light shone on her body, instantly expanding to form a huge light white spiritual barrier.

"Finally seeing you again."

Upon seeing this scene, the master of Yunzhongting sighed lightly, raised his hand to stop the witch who was staring blankly at the light white spiritual barrier, with a trace of longing on her cold face, and took her back a few steps.

It seemed that Shang Yang's sigh had caused some unknown reaction. Following a shrill scream, one soul after another rushed out from the painfully curled-up body of the girl in the sarcophagus, blindly colliding with the light white spiritual power barrier.

“Oh! What is this?!!”

It was at this time that the ghost girl Li Tao, who was leaning on a long ghost witch sickle in one hand and holding a pair of bows and arrows in the other, also saw several souls colliding blindly in the light white spiritual power barrier, and her dry face showed surprise and joy.

"The soul has finally left this little girl's body. This resentful longing, what kind of terrible hatred does she harbor..."

Gazing at the spirits madly crashing into the spiritual barrier, he felt the deep, overflowing hatred within those spirits... and the unspeakable sorrow hidden beneath that hatred...

...Fifty years ago, you were holding onto this pain, trying to stop me...

Feeling the complex emotions of the souls that were madly hitting the barrier, the young man with gray hair sighed softly.

...Well, at least you can vent your anger.

While thinking this, Shang Yang ignored the ghost girl Li Tao, whose old face was full of excitement and ferocity, and he also paid no attention to the "Kikyo" beside him, looking at the souls in the light white barrier and the beautiful face showing a trace of longing for emotion. He just turned sideways and looked at the dog-eared half-demon wearing a fiery red fire rat fur who was rushing here on the mountain road, holding the wide Tessaiga and shouting "Kagome", and the old woman who was also rushing here with a bow and arrow.

"Inuyasha! Quick!"

When Grandma Feng, who was rushing towards the mountainside, saw the light white barrier with a terrifying spiritual energy on the mountainside, she suddenly felt extremely anxious.

"Kagome's soul is about to leave her body. Once the soul is completely out of the body, it will be difficult for Kagome's soul to return!"

While shouting, Grandma Feng picked up the bow and arrow, drew the bow and arrow, pulled the string to the full, and an arrow shot out with a "whoosh" sound towards the light white barrier that wrapped Kagome's body and the sarcophagus!

As long as the spiritual barrier that is pulling Kagome's soul is destroyed, Kagome's soul will be able to return to her body!

"Don't try to hinder the old woman's magic!"

Noticing the incoming arrow, the ghost girl Li Tao roared angrily and waved the ghost witch sickle in her hand to block the spiritual arrow shot by Grandma Feng.

Hearing Grandma Kaede's call, Inuyasha, holding Tessaiga, rushed up anxiously. He first saw Shangyang waiting for him, and the black-haired priestess who was standing beside the light white barrier without any sign of life. He was stunned.

However, it was only for a moment before Inuyasha suddenly looked ferocious and started shouting.

"Shang Yang! It was you who caused the death of that miko fifty years ago. Now you kidnapped Kagome and want to revive her. What on earth do you want to do, you damned fellow?!"

While roaring and questioning, Inuyasha raised the broad and sharp Tessaiga without hesitation and chopped it down on the head of the hateful young man in front of him!

"Don't be impatient."

Shang Yang casually dodged Inuyasha's fierce blow of Tessaiga, but he didn't care and advised slowly.

"Even that girl, Kagome, has nothing to do with you."

"Tsk! Anything like that is fine!"

Inuyasha gritted his teeth and with a ferocious look on his face, he slashed fiercely at the hateful guy in front of him.

"I just can't stand you, you bastard!!!"

"Well, that's a good reason..."

Shang Yang once again casually avoided Tessaiga's slash, still not caring, and spoke in a calm tone.

"But, you're not trying to fight me now, are you trying to get past me and stop Kagome Higurashi's soul from being extracted from her body?"

"whispering sound……"

Hearing that Shang Yang had discovered his target, Inuyasha snorted viciously, then raised Tessaiga again and slashed at Shang Yang fiercely.

However, Shang Yang did not confront Inuyasha head-on, but continued to casually avoid the sharp blade of Tessaiga. When Inuyasha wanted to pass him and rush towards the light white barrier wrapped around Kagome's delicate body, Shang Yang blocked Inuyasha at the right time, preventing Inuyasha from getting close to the light white barrier.

Inuyasha, who had tried several times to get past Shangyang who was trying to stop him, became increasingly anxious. He could also sense that the girl, whose body was covered in thick herbal juice and who was in extreme pain, was losing her life force.

Kagome's soul will soon be torn from her body!

"it's useless."

Shang Yang advised to just deal with the Tessaiga that Inuyasha was chopping at casually.

"If I wanted to stop you, I could use the Word Spirit to control the beads around your neck. I'm fighting you now simply because I plan to stop you myself until Kikyo is called back to the world. Don't worry, even if Kikyo is resurrected, Kagome will be fine."

"Who would believe your nonsense!"
