My wife's name is Platycodon

He is lonely, but also free. There are gains and losses, and there is nothing wrong with maintaining the status quo.

But, he murmured to himself, "Should I deny my heart?"

……

"Deny your heart, Hades' Shura, and don't realize the true nature of that feeling." Kikyo came to the room where the wounded demon exorcists gathered.

she thought.

"The reason I follow you is just to guide you correctly, save your future, and bring eternal peace to your heart."

Suddenly, a cautious greeting came from the side, "Lord Kikyo, is there anything on your mind?"

Kikyo turned around and saw the middle-aged demon hunter named Fuzhi standing behind her.

Fuzhi looks like Kikyo's father, but facing this legendary shrine maiden, he dares not act rashly and stands in front of Kikyo in a very proper manner.

He looked at Kikyo with trepidation and admiration in his heart. The more he knew, the more he understood how noble the moral character of this red and white priestess was.

Kikyo, the shrine maiden who guards the jewel, burned her life for the Four Souls Jewel.

This behavior is not only beneficial to the Demon-Exterminating Village, but in a sense, it also saves the people living on this land who have a miserable fate.

Kikyo looked at Fuzhi, quickly adjusted her mentality, and smiled: "Worry? What worries can I have?"

Fuzhi hesitated for a moment, but finally said it directly: "But, Lord Kikyo, you looked a little sad just now..."

After he said this, he felt that he had overstepped his bounds, and quickly explained: "I didn't mean to say this, but you and Lord Shura saved the village, and I wonder if there is anything we can do to help you."

Kikyo didn't mean to blame him, but asked in surprise: "Sad? Did I look sad?"

Fu Zhi was very surprised by her clueless look and thought to himself, don’t you even know how you feel right now?

So, he answered uncertainly: "Maybe it looks sad."

Kikyo was stunned. She waved her sleeves in the air, and the clear water in the wooden barrel beside her was drawn by spiritual power and condensed into a mirror shape in mid-air.

Kikyo looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes were empty, and her delicate and beautiful face showed a trace of melancholy, as if she was sad...

In horror, Kikyo subconsciously reached out and broke the mirror.

The clear water lost its power, spilled all over the ground, and splashed the corners of her clothes.

She looked at her wet hands, still with a look of disbelief, how could I...

How could I be sad because of the Asura of the Underworld? Hasn't my heart, after being liberated, returned to its calm state?

Fuzhi was shocked by this sudden change. He stepped back slightly and felt that the aura of the miko in front of him seemed to have changed: "Lord Kikyo, what's wrong with you?"

Kikyo raised her head, her attitude was gentle and made people feel like spring breeze.

"How can I be sad when I am a dead person? You must be seeing things."

Kikyo's smile is as harmonious as ever, full of feminine charm.

Her identity was revealed again, and Fu Zhi shuddered and nodded desperately: "I must have seen it wrong."

When Naraku and Kikyo were talking, Tomiharu learned that Kikyo was dead.

However, as an exorcist, Tomiji believed that Kikyo Miko was not evil. Even if she returned to the world from hell, she must have completed her task with her own mission. How could he doubt this miko because of the identity of the deceased?

Not to mention that Kikyo had saved them before.

Seeing that Fuzhi told the truth and admitted his mistake, Kikyo's expression softened.

"I have already dealt with the Underworld Shura. I'm sure you have suffered heavy losses here as well. If you need any help, just let me know."

Speaking of this, Fuzhi's face suddenly fell: "I dare not trouble you, but those monsters came too fast and our people didn't react."

More than a dozen bodies were neatly laid out on the open ground.

"This is their fate." Kikyo took a deep look at the corpses.

The situation happened too suddenly. Although everyone in the demon-killing village had mastered the means to kill demons, many people still died in the sudden attack. There were children and young girls, and even more were brave warriors who fought heroically, but just withered and died in this disaster.

"Yes, we demon hunters have hunted many demons, and we are destined to die like this."

Fu Zhi was very depressed. Although he said that, he couldn't accept it in his heart.

These people were killed in front of him, but he could do nothing. For a moment, his face seemed to be covered with a shadow.

Kikyo glanced at him and whispered, "But those who survive need to continue and cannot give up, because the living bear the good wishes of the dead."

She spoke slowly and calmly, her words coming from her heart, silently dispelling the haze that shrouded Fu Zhi's heart.

Fu Zhi thought of the deceased's voice, appearance and smile when he was alive, and his heart was very sad. He stood there and cried loudly.

When he had finished venting his anger, he looked up and saw Kikyo again, and discovered that the witch was already taking care of the wounded.

Seeing Kikyo's busy figure moving among the crowd, he remembered.

Lord Kikyo is also deceased.

Chapter 41: Yunmu, Mingjia

Kikyo's arrival obviously surprised many villagers, and they felt a little embarrassed when they saw the witch taking good care of their injuries.

Kikyo had just saved them, so how could they continue to trouble her? The wounds caused by the monster were bloody and mangled.

They felt this was a blasphemy against the witch.

With this mentality, these people asked her in a stiff tone to rest and recover her strength to purify the Four Souls Jade.

Kikyo declined, saying that purifying the Four Souls Jade was just something she did casually. With her personality, she simply couldn't stand by and watch others suffer.

"Isn't there a saying that goes 'seek the Buddha to the west'? Then let me be a good person to the end, so that I can feel at ease."

Kikyo's attitude is very humble, her temperament is quiet and polite, and her well-reasoned reasons are hard to refute.

There were more than a hundred people left in the demon-hunting village. Those with weaker fighting power did not suffer any injuries, but those with stronger fighting power were seriously injured because they were on the front line.

They have been fighting monsters all year round, so they are of high quality and know how to treat their wounds themselves. They also have ready-made herbs that do not need to be processed, so the progress of bandaging the wounds is not slow.

By the time all the wounded were treated, it was already light.

Toji arranged two complete and clean houses for Kikyo and Hades Shura, but Kikyo refused. She let the seriously injured exorcist move into one of them, while she and Hades Shura stayed outside.

Hades Shura didn't say anything either. He didn't have high requirements for the environment.

However, Fuzhi looked very terrified, covered in cold sweat, fearing that the Asura of the Underworld would be angry.

He carefully hinted to him that he could just ask for anything he wanted, saying that the Underworld Shura was the savior of the Demon-Exorcising Village and would never refuse anything he could do.

However, the Asura of the Underworld waved his hand and ignored him, which made Fu Zhi very nervous.

Most people fell into a deep sleep due to exhaustion from the night before, without even having time to clean up their damaged homes.

Fuzhi and two demon hunters who were still able to fight guarded the village and kept on alert to prevent any monsters from taking advantage of the situation to sneak in. The main reason was that they didn't want to go through last night's experience again.

Fuzhi plans to be on full alert during this period until the leader of the demon hunters and Coral return.

Shura of the Underworld was lying in the ruins to rest. Ever since he bathed in the demon's blood, he became drowsy every time he was injured.

In the past, he should have found a safe place and recovered from his injuries by sleeping, but after Kikyo treated him, and now was not the time to leave, he simply took a nap and would wake up quickly if stimulated.

Kikyo was not far away. After what happened before, the two of them did not meet again. Instead, they did their own things at the same time, trying to avoid each other.

Suddenly, a roar of a beast was heard from the sky, and a huge beast came stepping into the air. It had fangs, double tails behind it, golden hair all over its body, a huge body, and four black hooves with flames under its feet. It flew swiftly from the air.

The Asura of the Underworld opened his eyes, stood up with a somersault, picked up a stone from the ground, weighed it, and began to aim.

Fu Zhi came over when he heard the noise, and was delighted when he saw the giant beast in the sky. But then he saw the Asura from the underworld about to attack, and he was frightened out of his wits.

It is rumored that the Asura of the Underworld is cruel and ruthless. He kills any monster he sees, and he also kills any human he sees. No one can stop the Asura of the Underworld who is determined to kill.

But other than that, as long as you don't anger him, you'll be safe.

This is also the reason why Fuzhi is afraid now.

"Master Shura, that is the sacred beast of our demon-killing village. Its name is Yunmu. It has followed the village for many years. It may have offended you unintentionally. I hope you can show mercy and not kill it."

He bowed desperately and apologized for Yunmu's recklessness. It had a very high status in the village. It was treated as a group pet and had a status like an ancestor. Moreover, Yunmu was extremely powerful. It could change its size, had the ability to fly, could fight monsters in close combat, and could go into the water. It was the only amphibious species in the world that could do everything on land, sea and air.

For Fuzhi, even if he died, he would not let Yunmu lose any limbs.

Although Yunmu was just going home and there was nothing rash about it, Fuzhi naturally did not dare to point at the Hades Shura and say that Yunmu was innocent.

Kikyo also stopped him: "Underworld Shura, don't do it, that monster has no evil aura."

Mica seemed to have sensed the danger as well, hovering in the sky, unwilling to come down for a long time.

After the Asura of the Underworld had restrained his breath, Yunmu flew to the Demon-Exorcising Village.

It landed on the ground and transformed into a cute kitten, small and exquisite, with lush mane around its neck, and extraordinary charm.

Yunmu was very understanding of human nature and whined a few words to Fuzhi's confusion.

Fuzhi introduced Yunmu, "This is Lord Shura of the Underworld. When you were away last night, monsters attacked us, and it was Lord Shura of the Underworld who saved us."

Yunmu tilted her head and looked at the Hades Shura. After a few glances, she felt a little angry and instinctively sensed a sense of threat that came from her life instinct.

But seeing that he had no ill intentions, Yunmu didn't do anything extreme.

"With this name, could it be that you are the god of death that is talked about by humans and monsters?" An old but lively voice sounded, coming from Yunmu's hair.

Kikyo looked over and saw a flea monster as big as a fingernail standing very conspicuously among Yunchi's pure golden hair.

Although it is in human form, it is tiny in size, has four hands, and a mustache.

"Where did this little monster come from?" The Asura of the Underworld squatted down and looked at the flea monster.

"I'm not a little monster. I'm a retainer of Master Inuyasha's father, Inu no Taisho. My name is Meika."

Mingjia waved his four hands and spoke loudly.

Kikyo also showed rare interest: "Oh, you are related to Inuyasha."

Mingjia saw Kikyo dressed in a miko costume and was a little confused: "You also know Master Inuyasha."

Kikyo smiled softly: "My name is Kikyo!"

Mingjia naturally knew this name and looked at Kikyo with wide eyes.

The miko who sealed Master Inuyasha fifty years ago, but didn't she die because of it?

Seeing its clueless look, Kikyo said, "It seems that you haven't been in contact with Inuyasha recently, so you don't know what happened."

When she mentioned Inuyasha's name, her heart was calm and peaceful.

Mingjia complained in his heart: Even if I have met her, given Master Inuyasha's proud nature, he would never tell me his thoughts. If the target is Kagome, then there is some possibility.

"Anyway, I came here because of the Four Souls Jade, and I took a ride with Yunmu."

Kikyo suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. Kagome shattered the Four Souls Jewel, and Inuyasha is anxious to gather them together. As Inuyasha's servant, you want to share Inuyasha's worries, right?"

Mingjia nodded: "I really can't hide anything from you."

"It seems that Inuyasha is not as good as his retainers." Kikyo laughed.

Meijia, a little flea demon, has found the demon-killing village, but there is still no sign of Inuyasha here.

It can be seen that the advantage of a dog's sensitive nose will be offset by its brain.

Mingjia is very talkative, like an old man who has seen through the world, but still maintains a young mentality, and looks very interested: "Don't say that, although Master Inuyasha is an adult, he has little experience and is very childish, so it will naturally take more time on the road."

But this is also what makes Inuyasha cute.

Kikyo sighed: "I think I understand why Naraku wants to destroy this place."

This is where the Four Souls Jade appears. The demon hunter is a variable to the Four Souls Jade, so he must be eliminated.
