My wife's name is Platycodon

As a part of Kagome's soul, she was lucky enough to be split. Otherwise, if an ordinary person's soul was split, it would only take one night at most and it would be impossible for her to survive until now.

"I hope that my afterlife will not be so dazzling, and I won't have to attract other people's attention, be forced to bear other people's expectations, and have heavy pressure." Tongzi said. Her wish is really simple, but in this era, it is really just a luxury.

Kikyo finally agreed and accepted Hitomi's suggestion to absorb her soul to replenish herself, leaving her with only a soul of ordinary people's strength.

But this decision itself is extremely dangerous. It is not a transfer of money. The soul is an extremely personal thing and cannot be mixed. Once there is a problem in the fusion, it is not uncommon for the patient to suffer from personality split at the least and the soul to be destroyed at the worst.

Even though Hitomi's soul is extremely pure and free of distractions, and both of them are shrine maidens, they have similar values ​​and will make similar decisions on certain things.

But some safeguards are needed.

"Jia Luo, there is a Zi Mountain a hundred miles away in the east. There is a bow on it. Please help me get it." Kikyo said.

"I'm not your errand boy, don't tell me about this."

"I can't bring back butterflies and birds, so I can only ask you to do it. Maybe you will encounter something very interesting in the process. I promise that your trip will not be in vain."

As Kikyo spoke, a very mysterious smile appeared on her face.

Chapter 52: Zishan

Jialuo agreed and went to Azusa Mountain that Kikyo mentioned alone.

And Tongzi said: "To make this famous Shura obey and become so docile, I believe you must have spent a lot of effort."

Kikyo shook her head and laughed, she didn't have the energy to do that. She didn't compete with Jialuo in wits and courage.

Instead, she spent a lot of energy on Jialuo's future, but Jialuo was also cooperative and never caused her any trouble, so she said, "It wasn't that hard, actually."

Tongzi didn't believe it. She had heard about Jialuo's deeds and had thought that he might not be human, otherwise why would he hunt monsters.

She was killed by Naraku, so Naraku naturally took control of her body. The moment her soul fell, she was branded by Naraku. Even though Hitomi later regained her sanity and was unwilling to do so, she had been living very tiredly over the years, unable to concentrate enough and her will was weak, so she was unable to break free from Naraku's control.

But it was different for Kikyo. Naraku didn't dare to think of controlling Kikyo at all. Strictly speaking, Kikyo's body was created by the demon girl Rito, and her soul was also called back from Kagome's body by her. The demon girl should have absolute control over her creation. But in fact, Kikyo easily broke free of control as soon as she was resurrected, and then slapped Rito to death without hesitation.

But Hitomi has not reached this level, and her mind is even weaker, so she is controlled by Naraku.

He seemed to be planning to plot against Kikyo, but when Kikyo really came over, Naraku did not use this backup plan and did not dare to act rashly, which led to the incident of her waking up to see Gala after her death.

Otherwise, when Naraku and Kikyo were fighting head-on, Hitomi suddenly woke up and turned against them, which would definitely be a sure kill for Kikyo who was caught off guard.

But Naraku just gave up on Hitomi's hidden weapon, and hesitated to take any action, and even wanted to retreat.

Now that I think about it, it was probably because of Gala.

What surprised Hitomi even more was that Jialuo would actually obey the orders of a priestess.

The real strong ones have always fought against heaven and earth, fearlessly, and had the courage to kill even ghosts and gods. Otherwise, how could they look down on everything.

Even though Kikyo is a legendary priestess, in reality only humans respect her.

And maybe, maybe, Jialuo is not a human being - Tongzi always feels that his body is not something that a human can possess, which gives her a very special feeling, but she just can't tell what's wrong.

But Kikyo didn't explain much. She just felt that she was inexplicably liked by Galaro, and the time was very short. Kikyo was completely unprepared, but Galaro seemed to regard her as a spiritual sustenance.

Tongzi hesitated, and then, remembering the question Jialuo asked her, she said, "I seem to have said something I shouldn't have."

But there was no way, Naraku had already left, so she woke up. She didn't know the situation at that time. When she opened her eyes, she saw Garo standing beside her. As the saying goes, a dying man speaks good words. What's more, as a shrine maiden, her sense of morality is much higher than that of ordinary people, so she naturally answered every question.

But when Kikyo arrived, she realized that Jialuo's problems were not because of her.

Although she was a little self-indulgent, she felt relaxed and lost at the same time.

Although she had been courted by many people, but... that was Jialuo, and there was no one else like him even if she searched the whole world.

Kikyo asked, "Are you referring to what Jia Luo said?"

She actually came back very early, because Naraku had no intention of fighting and was always dying. She returned quickly and heard the conversation, but she was always floating in the sky. Butterfly was very angry about it and cursed the scumbag, making it seem like she was being scumbed.

But Kikyo was also very curious about what answer Gala would give, so she didn't show up for a long time. But when she heard halfway through, she suddenly felt uncomfortable and jealous, so she landed.

Hitomi nodded, and her answer might have broken Jialuo's fantasy about Kikyo.

"What if he becomes disgruntled?"

Hitomi's words were very tactful, but her meaning was very clear. Every shrine maiden would have similar practices when faced with certain things. They would give up personal interests and choose universal love. Not only would their lives be more valuable, but their deaths would also be valuable.

When Garo knows that not only Kikyo can do this for him, but other priestesses can do it too, will it affect his opinion of Kikyo?

Kikyo laughed dumbly: "You underestimate Jialuo."

The Galao she knew would not be so stubborn.

He is very aloof, but also very lonely, living in isolation in this era and not understood. His past experiences have made him extremely indifferent to the world, but this does not mean that he is paranoid.

On the contrary, Jialuo remained calm and composed no matter what happened... unless she was in danger.

Hitomi was startled. Seeing Kikyo showing trust in Jialuo, she looked at him for a while and unconsciously smiled softly.

"That's great."

……

Jialuo found the location of Zishan among the mountains.

His speed could not be said to be fast, but it was a pity that he could not fly, otherwise he could arrive even faster.

Compared to the mountains in Japan, Mount Azusa is more like a solitary peak standing on the earth.

Arriving at the foot of the mountain, Jialuo looked up and saw a very long staircase leading all the way up, with clouds and mist shrouding the top. Even with his eyesight, he could not see clearly what was going on. It seemed as if there was a mysterious force enveloping Zishan.

Kikyo didn't give any more information, pretending to be mysterious, and only said that Azusa was not in danger, but there would be accidents.

And Jialuo didn't want to ask Kikyo about everything. He was used to being confident and thought that such a small matter could be easily handled. But when he really came here and discovered the magical things, he hesitated to move forward.

His intuition told him that this mountain was not simple.

Jialuo is not a purely reckless man, he just rarely uses his brain and is used to solving problems with the simplest methods.

He quickly moved to a nearby village, caught a farmer and asked him what happened.

The reason why I didn't ask Kikyo is because Kikyo didn't say it - she did it on purpose, she didn't forget to say it, this woman is very bad.

The farmer was surprised at first, but then he answered every question.

Jialuo has a very strong aura. Although he would restrain himself in front of Kikyo, he was very strong in front of other people. Every word he said would make people feel oppressive. The farmer was stunned and felt that this was not an ordinary person. However, Jialuo's body had lost its demonic charm, so the farmer did not associate her with Shura from the underworld at this time.

"Zishan has its own mountain god. It is a sacred mountain. He once committed many evil deeds and refused to change despite repeated admonitions. The village invited many wizards to calm him down, but they all failed and he eventually died tragically on the mountain."

The farmer was extremely respectful. The sudden appearance of Jialuo beside him seemed like a sorcery, but he was just an ordinary farmer. He was trembling with fear, worried about his life.

Jialuo frowned slightly. Are there gods in Zishan?

Kikyo changed the world in the divine realm, and the Sword of the Underworld could suppress it at will. This kind of divine realm is usually regarded as the heaven. Jialuo was deeply impressed. He stayed there for a while, but had no means to break through the heaven. He had estimated that if he fell into the divine realm, he could only keep himself immortal.

Chapter 53: The bright moon was there, shining on the colorful clouds returning

"But why is it so calm now?"

"Because fifty years ago a witch passed by and built a temple and left a bow on it. Since then, nothing has happened again."

The farmer was very sincere and his expression was full of respect.

These witches and wizards who save people from suffering have a very high status among the people. They do not accept any rewards, are compassionate, and take it as their responsibility to save the world and the people.

But after hearing this, Jialuo felt that she was overthinking. Although Kikyo did not respect gods, she did not have the ability to suppress them.

Because the divine realm is the heaven.

And now he knows how important the heaven is to the world. It is almost equal to the underworld. This is the power of rules.

He returned to the foot of the mountain. Jialuo stepped onto the steps and walked forward hundreds of steps without stopping. The higher he went, the cooler the air became, as if he was far away from this world. However, nothing unusual happened until Jialuo disappeared into the clouds.

Even though it is a sunny day today, the clouds over Zishan Mountain are still there. They are wisps that will disperse like smoke with a slight wave of the hand.

After entering here, his perception was suddenly restricted. Galao did not stop and passed through the foggy area. Suddenly, the view in front of him became clear and he could see everything at a glance.

He climbed all the steps and an elegant old temple appeared before him, with nothing else.

Kikyo stood in front of the temple, smiling: "Jia Luo, you are here."

She has an excellent posture, graceful figure, beautiful smile, and stunning beauty. Her words are sweet, like the sound of nature. Combined with the empty and lonely environment of the top of the mountain, her traditional shrine maiden costume has an otherworldly charm, as if she is a goddess descended from heaven.

Kikyo walked towards her gracefully, quiet and gentle. Just as she got close to her, Jialuo waved her hand, and the image of Kikyo dissipated like smoke.

Jia Luo's eyes were cold: "How dare you pretend to be Kikyo in front of me? You are courting death!"

But Kikyo reappeared and explained: "It's not me who disguised myself as Kikyo, but you who remembered Kikyo."

"Can you reflect my inner world?" Jialuo did not make a move this time. He just looked at Kikyo in front of him quietly. It was almost indistinguishable from the real thing. He could even imitate Kikyo's spiritual power and temperament. The most important thing was that her eyes were the same as the real one. If he didn't know that Kikyo was on Tongzi's side, he wouldn't even be able to tell her apart.

"I can't do it. I can only create an image according to your own inclination." Kikyo shook her head, but there was no one else in Jialuo's mind, so she could only transform into Kikyo.

"You didn't lie to me." Seeing her honesty, Jialuo was a little curious.

Kikyo sighed immediately. What else could he do? Would he see him demolish Zishan?

"Because I can't afford to offend."

Jia Luo snorted: "Although you are suppressed, you are still well-informed."

Kikyo explained, "People often mistakenly enter Mount Azusa, and I know a lot of things because of this. But I want to correct one thing, I was not suppressed, and that witch can't do anything to me."

Jia Luo showed a very strange expression. He gradually figured out what was going on. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Do you have Kikyo's spiritual power?"

Upon hearing this, Kikyo smiled brightly and generously, extremely beautifully, and said proudly: "Yes, this is exactly the power of the witch."

For this reason, the incarnation it simulates is most similar to Platycodon. When the two people stand together, they are equivalent to Sun Wukong and Liu Er Macaque, and ordinary people cannot tell them apart at all.

Jialuo frowned slightly, as if he had heard of this ability somewhere before. He concentrated on thinking and quickly found relevant information, gaining a certain understanding of the true nature of this 'Platycodon'.

"Yes, you are an elf, the elf of Zishan, you should have this ability."

Jialuo suddenly realized that he had seen popular science information on this subject in a book in the temple, but he didn't remember it for a while and only realized it now.

The so-called elves can transform into gods or demons.

But it is neither a god nor a monster, but another kind of life.

Elves also use spiritual power, which is the power of heaven and earth, so even Kikyo cannot purify it with spiritual power.

It was very curious: "You came here because of that witch, and I have the spiritual power of that witch, but you were able to attack without hesitation. Is it because of a grudge?"

Most of the other costumes it plays aren't so perfect, but Kikyo is different. Having been with that bow for fifty years, it is very familiar with Kikyo's spiritual power.

But Garo did not answer, instead he said: "As an elf, you are actually interested in human affairs."

The elf said, "If it was anyone else, I wouldn't be interested."

Jialuo suddenly felt strange. Could it be that even elves could not escape Kikyo's charm?

"But I heard that you did evil things in your early years?"

The spirit of Zishan said dissatisfiedly: "I was just joking."

It is the embodiment of the will of heaven and earth, born on behalf of Mount Zishan. Although it is not a mountain god, it is much more senior than the witch.

Elves are life forms that cannot be bound by human concepts. They act according to their hearts. They can do evil or good. It all depends on a single thought.

Even if it was evil, it was just a prank, not intentional killing.

Jialuo was speechless. The Zishan elves were more dangerous than himself. At least he was logical in doing things. No matter how many people he killed, he was not doing anything out of line. But the elves didn't have to worry about this.

In other words, disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions will not be notified to humans before they occur.

This is how the Zishan elves behave, it is a joke played by nature.

It's just that it is more playful.

But humans couldn't afford to play with it, so they asked a wizard to deal with it. The wizard was unhappy and crushed them all to death. As a result, it met Platycodon that passed by.

He was beaten for fifty years before he finally stopped.

Kikyo brought Jialuo to the ancient temple, which was very spacious. She opened the only wooden cabinet in the temple, revealing an ancient longbow inside.

The red bow is slender and has a very delicate beauty, the bowstring is thin, and a white bandage is wrapped around the middle of the bow.

This is a cypress bow, which is highly respected in Japan. Jialuo didn’t know which book she had read this description in.

"The ghost is in front of me, I will shoot the arrow when the bowstring is fully drawn; the bow is made of catalpa wood, and it will be retracted after being drawn; today I come to ask the gods for their words."

The elf understood the meaning of this passage and said, "This is an ancient spell."
