My wife's name is Platycodon

Using the art of words, he controlled the spider demon's arrow to shoot at Naraku, causing damage to him, and then he followed the clues to find Naraku's lair.

However, even Kikyo didn't expect Naraku to hide here.

Platycodon tells the story.

"The title of sacred is too heavy, and humans today cannot bear these two words. But in the primitive times of the past, there were many powerful people who achieved the unity of man and nature, accompanied by the spiritual power of nature, lived long and had an extremely peaceful state of mind. Such people can be called ancient sages, but the more time passes, the rarer the chance of such sages appearing..."

The fundamental reason is naturally that the environment has changed, the times have changed, and the originally simple soul has degenerated, causing the pearl to be covered in dust.

"Kikyo, do you mean that the source of this magical power comes from a saint?" Kagome asked puzzledly.

Kikyo glanced at Kagome and shook her head slightly: "There can't be a saint in this era."

Saints are at the same level as gods, immortals, etc. Since the gods have left and the immortals have also left, it means that the current environment is no longer suitable for the birth of saints.

Seeing that Kagome was still confused, Kikyo patiently explained, "Moreover, the power of saints and gods cannot be so extreme. The more powerful a being is, the more it should understand the opposition between good and evil, and right and wrong..."

Big monsters are no exception. Any monster that seems powerful can be called a big monster, but in fact, there is a threshold to this title.

In Kikyo's opinion, only Inu no Taisho can be regarded as a real great monster. He knows how to be domineering, but also has a tender side. He understands human nature as a monster and finally dies bravely. He is top-notch in all aspects.

And what about Seshomaru? He's not good enough yet. He's too young.

Kikyo had heard people talk about Seshomaru's Tensinga, and she always felt that when Seshomaru could discard Tensinga, break away from the shadow of Inu no Taisho, and find his own demon sword, that would be the time when he would truly be called a great demon monster.

And there is Jialuo. He used to always keep an attitude of not caring about other people's affairs. He was self-righteous and thought he was naturally nobler than other people. He observed the world from a playful perspective.

But Kagura's death brought him down from the altar.

Jia Luo is not a particularly emotional person, he is very rational, and he has never been touched by the death of anyone before, because those people have never caught his eye. And Kagura is one of the few people that Jia Luo cares about.

Kikyo continued to say some other things, all of which were great truths like the sea is vast because it can accommodate all rivers, the strong are easily broken while the soft are eternal.

Except for Jia Luo, Kikyo rarely talks about things related to cultivation to others. Kagome is an exception. She is favored by both Jia Luo and Kikyo, otherwise Kikyo would not talk about these things to her.

Although they are reincarnations, they are actually two independent individuals. Apart from having Kikyo's 70% outstanding appearance and extremely strong spiritual power, Kagome did not inherit any other advantages of Kikyo.

Among them, understanding and talent are the most important. She guided Kagome into the realm of emptiness and clarity, but Kagome's performance was only mediocre and it was difficult for Kikyo to be impressed.

This was intentional guidance, and Kagome seemed to understand it, but only Miroku was deeply touched for a moment.

He is an orthodox practitioner, so he naturally understands the meaning of these words. They may seem plain, but they carry different weight when spoken by different people.

As expected of him, he is the Platycodon Bodhisattva, who has learned everything by himself and understood the way of the gods.

Chapter 96: Platycodon grandis (seeking votes at the beginning of the month)

Kikyo's spiritual power supports a new world, which covers a radius of ten meters with her as the center. As long as it is within this range, the magic power of the outside world will be ineffective. This is Kikyo's territory.

Kikyo told everyone that the reason why this place was scary was because of the psychic power.

The so-called clairvoyance does not mean that magical power has wisdom, but that this kind of magical power can be comparable to the effectiveness of spiritual power.

The magic power is extremely pure, with such amazing purity that it is almost impossible to tell whether it is magic power or spiritual power.

Magic power comes from humans, and spiritual power comes from heaven and earth. Who can refine magic power to this level?

It can be said that he is the reincarnation of Buddha.

"If it is complete, it will be incomplete; if it is extreme, it will be reversed. This kind of psychic power will not even let go of half-demons. It's like falling into the devil's way." Kikyo murmured to herself.

The higher she went, the more she observed and the more surprised she was.

The greatest good can also be the greatest evil, and the greatest righteousness can also be the greatest evil.

Kikyo's spiritual power is extremely pure, but it can protect Kagura's soul. The magic power here does not tolerate any evil, which means that it itself is evil.

At the same time, a hint of doubt arose in Kikyo's heart.

What exactly is this place?

Soon, they came to an elevated plank road. Just as they were about to pass through, they suddenly felt a vibration from below. Looking down along the plank road, they saw a flood of monsters and demons rushing towards them.

"Naraku can't help it anymore?" Jialuo looked calm.

"These trash!" A cold look appeared in the golden eyes of Seshomaru, who had been silent all this time. He was already full of anger after holding it in for so long. He was about to take action, and Inuyasha was also eager to try, but was stopped by Kikyo.

"If you leave me, you will be suppressed by the magic power here." Kikyo whispered. Seshomaru would be fine. As a big monster, he could still protect himself. But if they were fighting away from home, even if he revealed his true form, he would be forced to leave the mountain, otherwise he would be exhausted to death here.

Not to mention Inuyasha, once he leaves, he will lose his demonic power and become a human.

Maitreya’s wind cave cannot be used because there is a large amount of miasma among the monster group.

Kikyo looked at Jialuo and said, "Jialuo, come here."

Jia Luo did not refuse. Even if he lost his magic power, he still had enough fighting power to deal with these monsters. However, he was not so easy to order around. He snorted and said, "You really trust me."

Kikyo smiled and said, "Those who are capable should do more work."

Although I can also take action, I don't have Gala's talent. There will be no benefit even if I kill them all. It is better to let Gala go. At least with me around, he will not lose control.

"Recite the nine-word mantra silently, and maybe there will be a surprise." Kikyo said, winking at Jialuo mischievously, with a smile as bright as a flower, charming and moving.

Jia Luo was stunned for a moment, then shifted his gaze and muttered, "I know, I know..."

After he said that, he jumped out of the plank road, stepped on the inner wall of the mountain and ran down. He pulled out the Sword of Hades from the wildly dancing hair behind him, and then ran vertically, starting to charge with an indomitable momentum.

After leaving Kikyo, Jialuo also recited the nine-character mantra silently as she instructed, but an unexpected situation occurred.

The nine lines, four vertical and five horizontal, that were originally hidden in the body suddenly appeared. Jialuo had the ability to see inside his body, and now he could clearly see the four vertical and five horizontal lines circulating endlessly. The demonic power in his body was operating according to this method and was perfectly restrained without revealing the slightest characteristics of demonic power.

No matter how you observe him, he is a thorough human being. He has concealed the demonic nature in his body very secretly, so he naturally cannot be targeted by psychic power, but the increase in his demonic power has not been reduced at all.

boom!

Jialuo slashed down with his sword, whistling like a gust of wind, the sword blade tore through the air, shattered the rocks, and countless pieces of rubble fell straight down, sweeping away seventy or eighty small monsters with one blow.

A large number of system prompts appeared on the screen, densely packed, but when you look at the total, it is less than one-tenth of the enhancement points.

Looking at Jialuo's killing spree, Miroku finally couldn't help but ask: "Kikyo Miko..."

As soon as he started talking, Kikyo quickly understood Miroku's doubts. Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, she nodded slightly and said, "Why can't the monsters in Naraku be harmed by the magic power here?"

Miroku smiled and exclaimed, "The Kikyo witch is very clever."

Seshomaru was also interested in this issue. The magic power here was aimed at monsters, and the source of the magic power was unfathomable. Although he was angry, he could accept this.

Only now do I realize that I have been treated differently.

"Because the original intention of magic power is to protect, it protects Naraku and the monsters in Naraku." Kikyo said. She can protect Kagura's soul, so it is reasonable for others to protect Naraku.

The rest of the monsters are not under his protection, so it makes more sense to purify them.

The others were stunned and could not accept this answer.

"why?"

Anyone who can possess this level of magical power must be a high-ranking monk. Why would he protect an evil half-demon like Naraku... no, a full-demon.

Kikyo shook her head slightly and looked up at the sky.

It’s not that she refused to answer, but she didn’t know either.

But Kikyo also knows that everyone has their own ideas, positions and situations. Behind the seemingly absurd things, there must be a reasonable explanation.

"You are so powerful, can't you break this barrier?" Qibao asked while lying on Maitreya's shoulder.

Although it was safe and sound under the protection of Platycodon, it also knew that once it left the vicinity of Platycodon, it would definitely die quickly. There is no diver who is not afraid of the deep sea.

"You think too much of me." Kikyo shook her head again.

She was not strong enough and had to prepare for the battle against Naraku, so she had no time to spare.

Of course, Maitreya didn't believe it in his heart, but since Kikyo God said so, he would not ruin it and was still waiting for his wish to come true.

"But..." Qibao was unhappy. If that was the case, wouldn't they be useless?

"Shippo-chan, Kikyo has her reasons, don't make things difficult for her." Kagome whispered to comfort Shippo. She meant well because she truly understood the difficulties Kikyo faced as a shrine maiden.

But the people present had very sensitive hearing, so how could they not hear these words?

Now, they have left the plank road and come to the upper level. This mountain is very interesting. The bottom level is hollow, while the upper level is full of tunnels, connecting to all directions.

Kikyo pondered for a moment, pointed to a tunnel, and then said: "The source of the magic power and the barrier is in that direction. Kagome, Miroku and Coral, if you want to break the barrier, you might as well go and take a look."

The three of them didn't expect Kikyo to say that. Shippo was anxious and shouted, "This is too dangerous. This guy is in the same group as Naraku."

Although Jaken was not on Inuyasha's side, he nodded in agreement. He and Shippo couldn't even breathe in the magic barrier, so you can imagine how powerful the person at the source of the barrier is.

Kikyo shook her head and said, "Although he protects Naraku, it doesn't mean he is our enemy."

Miroku stepped out to smooth things over and said, "Since Kikyo God... ahem, Kikyo Miko said so, then it must be true. And I also discovered that this barrier is ineffective for us humans, which means we are not bound by it. Maybe that powerful senior really has something to hide."

Seshomaru stared at Kikyo and said, "As I recall, you are the deceased."

Seshomaru directly pointed out the question that Miroku had never asked: why was Kikyo not affected?

Maitreya has already tried to test Qibao, but his magic power is not enough to protect the monster from surviving in the barrier. Once it is ten meters away from Kikyo, even if he uses all his strength, he cannot extend Qibao's time, and can only make it crawl back to Kikyo.

This may be because his magic power is shallow and the purity is too low, but it is not useless.

"Yes, I am not a human being now." Kikyo admitted the fact. Her body was burned, not made of flesh and blood.

"Why can you call upon spiritual power?" Seshomaru asked a very speechless question.

Kikyo is a dead person with dead souls, dead soul worms, and other things in her body, which have the nature of a monster.

But Sesshomaru still remembered how Kikyo looked when she first came here. He could hardly stand. Although Garo was better than him, the protective shield he held up was instantly shattered, which shows the domineering nature of the magic barrier.

Only Platycodon can move freely and is almost no different from a human.

Kikyo smiled softly: "Yes, why can I call upon spiritual power? This is also a question I have been pursuing."

Chapter 97: The fate between Kikyo and Naraku

She has been thinking about the relationship between heaven, earth and spiritual power, as well as her mission as a priestess.

Does this mean that only a shrine maiden who has no distractions and no desires is a qualified shrine maiden?

A long time ago, so long that even Kikyo couldn't remember how long it was, it should have been when she had just become a shrine maiden, that she heard similar words.

The witch must listen to the sufferings of the world and enlighten the confused beings. In the process, she must not waver, but also restrain her desires, always maintain the most perfect state, and do the right things, otherwise she will be taken advantage of and fall into depravity.

Every shrine maiden is under a lot of pressure, whether it is Tsuiko, Souhime, or Hitomi, none of them can rest in peace after death.

And she is Kikyo. As a famous shrine maiden, she was always heading towards love both in life and after death.

She is like this. She actually longs to be favored by fate in her heart.

It was this selfish thought that often made Kikyo herself feel uneasy. But even so, her spiritual power did not diminish. On the contrary, because of her life and death experiences, her mind became stronger.

The barrier of this mountain had no effect on her.

This pure magical power was dissolved by Kikyo silently. Although she thought it was a selfish idea, Kikyo still moved forward silently.

Now, she can walk in the underworld and enter the Pure Land. Even the divine realm cannot stop her.

This is not a matter of spiritual power, but a manifestation of divine ability. Throughout history, only a few witches could glimpse this threshold.

Could it be that our ancestors were wrong?

Kikyo had many doubts in her mind.

Seshomaru did not ask any further questions. This priestess gave him such a strange feeling, as if he was facing the ocean.

The ocean is vast and magnificent, but Platycodon does not give people a feeling of turbulent and violent waves, but a unique charm of tranquility and breadth, without waves or shocks.

"Princess Kikyo, please teach me what to do." Miroku hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind to find out what was going on.

This magical barrier has too severe a restraining effect on monsters and is extremely disadvantageous to them. Inuyasha is essentially useless.

But Miroku felt that even if they found the source of the magic barrier, it would be useless, because the magician who cast the barrier must be the strongest in the world, and his practice and realm must have reached the peak of human ability, otherwise how could he suppress Seshomaru! But he still needed Kikyo's help to know if he was good enough.

Kikyo knew that Miroku was a smart man, so she didn't hide anything and said bluntly: "The magic barrier protects Naraku, there must be an internal reason. When you meet that senior, you need to treat him with courtesy."

Miroku was a little embarrassed: "This is not difficult, but this is Naraku's base camp, I am worried that there will be accidents."

It's not that he's afraid of death, but Kikyo specifically asked Kagome and Sango to go together, and he was worried that he wouldn't be able to protect them.
