My wife's name is Platycodon

"The two fairy islands of Fangzhang and Yingzhou have sunk, and Penglai is no longer safe. There is no place for half-demons in this world anymore."

Chapter 76: Tree Spirit of Time

Zouji didn't continue.

Kikyo knew that Souji treated half-demons as humans, but compared to ordinary people, the situation of half-demons was desperate, so they needed more protection.

"That man named Jialuo has already entered the realm of a great monster. You can give him some pointers and lead him forward in the future." Zou Ji continued.

The topic shifted to Garo. She felt that Garo was a very special person. He was able to defeat the Four Gods in their undefeated period. This record was rare in the entire Japanese history.

Because the Four Fighting Gods obtained the source of life and have the combat power of stable big monsters, Galaro is already weak and has to fight against four alone. The pressure can be imagined.

But the results were surprising.

"That's why I exist." Kikyo nodded, understanding what Souji meant.

"That's right, after all, you came to Penglai Island together." Zou Ji also knew that she was worrying too much. But the strong cannot be ignored, even if the two have no intersection, but still maintain enough attention.

"I thought that Inu no Taisho was the only one in the world who could control the Kusanagi sword, but I didn't expect there was someone stronger than him."

Zouji mentioned Inu no Taisho, whom she had the honor of meeting once. That great demon roamed the three realms with great heroism and unparalleled ability, and he carried out his own kingly way.

When Kikyo saw that Souhime highly praised Inu no Daisho, she also became curious about this legendary big monster who could even conquer the shrine maiden.

She smiled slightly, calmly and calmly: "It's a pity that I can't meet you."

"Gialo's bravery is not inferior to General Inu." Zou Ji only said that every era has its own geniuses and heroes, and there is nothing to regret.

Today people do not see the ancient times and the moon, this month once looked like the ancients.

The glory of Inu Taisho finally came to an end, and the only thing that remained in the sky was the eternal scorching sun.

The two chatted along the way and talked about a lot. Both of them were experienced and knowledgeable witches. They had seen big scenes and had fought their way up, so they had a lot in common.

Zouji no longer treated Kikyo as a junior who needed guidance and instruction, but communicated with her on an equal footing. However, Kikyo was always respectful to her and kept communicating with her in a tone of asking for advice.

Through Kikyo, she learned about the changes in the outside world over the past two hundred years. When she heard the news about the Four Souls Jade, she was a little surprised.

"It appears again." Souji is not completely ignorant of the Shikon Jade. In fact, she is closer to Tsuriko's era than Kikyo and knows many secrets.

"I was chosen to be the priestess guarding the jade, but later I became shaken. Fifty years ago, I failed and could not purify it, so I could only bring it to the underworld. Now I have returned with it, and this time I hope to end the disaster caused by the Four Souls Jade."

Zouji sighed slightly. The Four Souls Jade was the lingering nightmare of the Miko lineage. "Tsuiko's soul is still fighting in the jade. Maybe she can help you."

"I have met the regret of Tsuiko, and have reached a consensus with the shrine maiden Tsuiko." Kikyo said, and then talked about Hitomi. She was killed by Naraku and fell before her death. Although she has been reincarnated, the shrine maiden's blood when she fell was absorbed by the Shikon Jewel, making her even more evil.

Hearing this, Zouji sighed. Kikyo was anxious, otherwise the Four Souls Jade would not have resorted to such a desperate measure.

Because the Four Souls Jade is not a purely evil force, it has a clear distinction between right and wrong, and naturally has an evil side as well as a righteous side.

The jade itself is a combination of Tsuiko's soul and the youkai's soul, with Tsuiko representing the straight spirit and the youkai representing the curved spirit.

However, absorbing the blood of the priestess is a risky thing. It will not only enhance the darkness of the jade, but also bring a new force to Cui Zi. If Tongzi's belief is pure enough, she can unite with Cui Zi's direct spirit, fight back against the curved spirit, and dominate the Four Souls Jade.

But Yu still chose to absorb Tongzi's blood, which shows how anxious Qu Ling was.

"Don't push the Four Souls Jade into a desperate situation. If you can't find a suitable opportunity, you will have to let it go. This jade has lasted for hundreds of years and spanned multiple eras. There must be a reason for it. You must be wary of its counterattack, otherwise you will most likely fail."

Kikyo didn't say anything for a while. She had indeed been forcing Naraku, both psychologically and physically. The double torture left Naraku with no chance to fight back.

Because she wants to end both Naraku and the Shikon Jewel in the shortest possible time.

"I wonder if Miss Zou has heard of the Tree of Ages?" Kikyo asked again.

Zou Ji nodded, "I first saw records about it in some ancient documents. This tree was planted by the gods themselves in ancient times. This tree has the ability to stop time and communicate with all realms."

In fact, when Long Luo first came to Penglai Island, she also mentioned the Tree of Time, but there was no Tree of Time on Penglai Island. Moreover, the atmosphere between the two sides was very tense and the battle was very hasty, so she didn't care.

Seeing that she knew, Kikyo continued, "My soul was reincarnated in the underworld and drifted to other worlds. I was born five hundred years later. Later, due to fate, my reincarnated body returned to this era..."

"Do you find it strange?"

Kikyo nodded. She had always felt that something was wrong. But there was no one around to discuss this with. Although Jialuo was very smart, these things could not be figured out by the brain. Although the Sword of Hades was ancient, it had forgotten many memories, and she could not explain it clearly. She subconsciously rejected the Tree of Ages.

However, there is a gap in this era, and it is really difficult to find authentic and reliable documentary records.

In the past, due to the lack of channels, and Kikyo was not the type to worry about trivial matters, so she did not delve into it further. But with Zouji here, perhaps her doubts can be resolved.

"Do you know why the Tree of Time is called the Tree of Time?" asked Zou Ji.

"Because it can connect different eras." Kikyo replied that Kagome is the best example. Although she can't go back to the past, she can travel between different worlds.

However, the conditions for traveling back and forth are harsh, and only Kagome and Inuyasha can travel through it. Kikyo still doesn't understand the rules.

"That's right, it seems that you and your reincarnated body don't have a good relationship. If you communicate a few more times, you may be able to notice the problem." Zouji has great faith in Kikyo's ability as a shrine maiden.

She pointed to the trees along the way. Penglai Island was full of vitality, with red cliffs, strange rocks, steep walls and unusual peaks, which were extremely beautiful. There were also green pines and cypresses, and rare herbs and flowers. However, without the nourishment of immortal power, all the vegetation and herbs had degenerated.

Zouji said: "With the passing of seasons, the passage of time, the lifespan of a Platycodon grandiflorum tree is about a hundred years. These trees have grown from taking root to flourishing, and finally withering and dying. There are countless of them."

"And the world is so big that there will always be similar trees. Some of them look like a tree in the past, and some look like a tree in the future. They are so similar that you can hardly tell the difference. Kikyo, are you willing to believe that these similar trees will grow the same leaves?"

Kikyo fell into deep thought after hearing this, and frowned slightly: "Is it exactly the same?"

Zouji nodded.

Kikyo pondered seriously for a long time, and finally shook his head in disbelief.

She is not a stubborn person. Kikyo is good at thinking and has a deep understanding of certain issues. She knows that there is a deeper meaning behind Souji's question, but her lifelong learning and life experience have told her the answer. How could she deny herself because of Souji's question?

"How can there be two leaves that are exactly the same?"

Zouji was not surprised by Kikyo's answer. After all, a person who doesn't even believe in himself and is shaken by some doubts from outsiders will not go far.

So she asked again: "Can you make two identical leaves?"

Kikyo's pretty brows furrowed even deeper, and she said, "It's difficult."

This is the art of creation.

She wasn't sure, so she needed to try a few more times.

"And the Tree of Time is exactly the same, taking root in different eras, covering the past and the future. This is the embodiment of the power of the gods. With the Tree of Time as the basis, many similar worlds are connected, and people can travel back and forth easily." Zou Ji's words were earth-shattering, revealing a lot of unknown news.

But it is worth mentioning that these things were learned by her on Penglai Island. There are no relevant records in the outside world. The Penglai immortals carved some extremely important information on the surface and inside of the Mingling Furnace, specifically for future generations.

Because for this era, the Tree of Time is a very scary thing.

"If you think it is a threat, just destroy it. If you don't care, then you can ignore it." Zou Ji said calmly.

Kikyo nodded. When the Sword of Hades saw the Tree of Time, its reaction was exaggerated. It said it would cut off all the Tree of Time, as if it wanted to clean up the mess for the gods.

She is a priestess of heaven, not a priestess of gods. As long as the Tree of Time does not endanger all living beings, Kikyo should not meddle in its affairs. There is no reason for her to help the gods.

And as of now, the Tree of Ages has not done anything bad. On the contrary, it has been helping Kagome and Inuyasha.

"Why, do you care about the Tree of Time?" Zou Ji asked.

"Well, I use a Tree of Ages as a sacred tree, and my reincarnation and a half-demon are also using a well built by the Tree of Ages to travel back and forth between the two worlds."

Zouji was in an awkward mood. She had never seen the Tree of Ages, but had only heard of it. She didn't expect that Kikyo had a deep connection with this tree.

Kikyo's expression changed, and she finally sighed and said, "It seems that because of me, the tree of time seems to have bred spirits inside..."

Elves...a special existence that is neither a god nor a monster.

Jialuo has encountered the elf of Zishan. He was very troublesome and profound, but also very dramatic and had a strong ability to imitate. He pretended to be Kikyo, but ended up getting himself in the act.

Zou Ji didn't know what to say. She had also come into contact with elves, and these creatures were too tricky, neither good nor evil.

She just warned: "If it is a nuisance, remember to kill it immediately and don't harm innocent people."

All the priestesses of the Heavenly Dao adhere to the principle of presumption of innocence. If there is no clear evidence that the Tree of Ages is dangerous, they will not take action against it.

But this principle of action requires extremely strong hard power, and Kikyo just happens to have it.

So Zou Ji was also relieved.

As for any problems that arise with the Tree of Time after Kikyo leaves, that will be the business of future generations.

Chapter 77: Kikyo: I am yours, sooner or later...

The two walked forward and came to a small valley. The terrain here was sunken, but there were lush flowers and plants, and the vitality was verdant. The air was fresh and elegant, forming a green carpet, and the surrounding ancient trees were lush and leafy, covering the valley.

Secluded and comfortable.

Jialuo was lying on the green grass. Penglai Island had spring-like weather all year round and a constant climate, so the flowers and plants grew well and were about half a meter high.

Jialuo was lying here, his body submerged, and from a distance one couldn't even tell there was a person lying here.

Kikyo and Zouji came to the bottom of the valley, stepped on the flowers and plants with light steps, and came to Gala.

But Jialuo did not wake up. His eyes were closed and his expression was calm. The warm sunlight shone on his face. His skin had an excellent texture and was dazzling.

Jialuo found a good place and fell into a deep sleep to recover from his injuries.

With Kikyo here and the Four Fighting Gods dead, Penglai Island will be safe unless foreign enemies invade.

"What a monstrous body." Zou Ji stared at Jialuo. At the end of the war, Jialuo's injuries were so severe that it was almost unbearable to look at. But now they have all healed. He is half naked, revealing a strong and perfect body.

But his breath became much weaker.

"He has divinity." Zouji seemed to be talking to herself. Only certain people in legends have divinity, such as the Emperor, who are related to Amaterasu, so there is a very weak divine power in their bodies.

Otherwise, how can they rule Japan? No one will believe them.

Kikyo looked at Jialuo with soft eyes, the corners of her lips raised, and a smile appeared on her face inadvertently. It was a simple and elegant smile, not because she thought of something, but because she subconsciously showed this expression when she saw Jialuo.

She knew that Jialuo had divinity, she had always known it.

She also talked about Gala's body. The two different rules of chaos and order were perfectly unified in Gala's body. It was a chaotic beauty that only people with extremely high aesthetic sense could perceive.

But this is from a mortal's perspective.

For the strong, this is divinity, the ultimate beauty, flawless and flawless.

Kikyo watched for a few minutes, and finally said, "He became a god from a demon."

The two talked, but Jialuo did not wake up. Instead, he slept more soundly.

Kikyo said a lot, for example, at the beginning, there was an extremely chaotic demonic power in Jialuo's body, which had been influencing him to fall into evil, but at that time Jialuo resisted his body's instincts. When he realized that he was about to lose control, he made a prompt decision to stop killing and found a quiet place to stay.

Later, it was Jialuo who regarded her as his spiritual sustenance.

Even though they had met for a very short time and didn't spend much time together, even Gala herself didn't notice this.

He was like a drowning man, holding on to his own straw tightly with both hands; he was also like a patient who couldn't breathe, desperately trying to breathe fresh air from his own side.

By the time he discovered his true feelings, it was too late.

He was addicted to himself, like a drug addict.

She had no intention of causing a draught, but her arrogance caused a flash flood.

Kikyo's eyes were flickering with innumerable tenderness, and there seemed to be a vast galaxy hidden in her eyes, making people want to sink into them and feel that it would not matter if they died in them.

A man dies for a man who knows himself, and a woman looks good for a man who pleases her.

Her biggest wish is to be an ordinary woman and live a peaceful life.

"Jia Luo..." she whispered softly, tenderly and sweetly.

Jia Luo's eyebrows moved slightly, and his head shook slightly, as if he was about to wake up. Kikyo bent down, squatted beside him, stretched out her hand to gently smooth out the messy hair, and also pushed away the grass leaves that could disturb Jia Luo's sleep, comforting him.

"Don't wake up, sleep well... I am yours, sooner or later, and no one else can do it except you."

"Hum~Hum~~" Kikyo hummed an unknown little tune. The melody was melodious and beautiful, and extremely gentle, and it quickly calmed Gala down.

"Do you want to keep going?" Zouji watched for a long time and felt that Kikyo would probably not accompany her anymore.

But Kikyo stood up.

"Don't you need to accompany Jia Luo?"

"When he wakes up, he will come to me on his own initiative." Kikyo said.

Zouji said calmly: "It really makes me feel relieved."
