My wife's name is Platycodon

But he hadn't expected that his foolproof plan would be ruined in this way, and even he himself couldn't escape.

After seeing the situation here, Meika knew that this place had been attacked. Although he didn't know who Naraku was, from what Kikyo said, he knew that it was not just him and Inuyasha who were targeting the demon-killing village.

He was well-read and knew all the secrets of various places. He had followed General Inu in his battles and said, "The Demon-Slaying Village is not only unique in terms of its geographical location, but they also possess knowledge related to the Four Souls Jade."

"It is said that the origin of the demon-killing village can be traced back to the creator of the Four Souls Jade, Tsuiko."

Fu Zhi looked confused, he had never heard of this legend.

Chapter 42: Don't Fall in Love with Me

"Demon slayer is a kind of inheritance, right?"

Hades Shura teased Little Yunmu and asked casually.

Yunmu was quite resistant to Hades's treatment. It waved its cat claws and kept slapping away Hades' fingers.

Kikyo nodded and said affirmatively: "But this inheritance has been broken."

Mingjia immediately asked, "How did it break?"

The reason it came here was to inquire about the Four Souls Jade, only to find out that today's demon hunters only have a vague understanding of it.

Doesn't that mean I can't provide any clues for Master Inuyasha?

Kikyo looked at everything here: "The demon slayer village is very powerful. They go to various places to kill demons, and thus attract hatred. In the past years, they must have attracted many attacks, right?"

Fuzhi was ashamed that he came from a demon-killing village but could not provide any information. Kikyo knew more about them than any of them.

He immediately said: "Just as Lady Kikyo said, although the village is built in the mountains and isolated from the outside world, monsters still often attack us. We had no choice but to build defensive buildings, such as watchtowers, hanging gates, and walls to resist the attacks of various monsters."

This is very useful and is generally enough to ensure the safety of the village.

But no one expected that Naraku was the one behind all this, and no one knew how he did it, but he actually connected so many monsters and became a large-scale organization.

Even the first generation of demon hunters did not anticipate this situation. Demons are brutal by nature, especially low-level ones. They often kill each other. If they really gather together, it would be a good thing if the monsters don't fight first.

But even so, there would often be small groups of monsters attacking, and the demon exorcists still had a hard time. During these fifty years, even Kikyo didn't know that the leader of the demon exorcists had changed two generations.

Kikyo said: "When I received the jade, I learned about the Four Souls Jade from the original demon slayer leader, but they were unable to provide more useful clues."

Upon hearing this, Fuzhi felt very guilty. Demon hunters should be at the forefront of humanity, but they are helpless against the Four Souls Jade, which has a deep connection with their lineage.

"Lord Kikyo, this was caused by us, and we have dragged you down, but we are unable to help you with your worries."

Kikyo said softly: "You are also victims, don't be discouraged, you have done a good job."

She was very tolerant and gentle, with a face as radiant as that of a saint. Fuzhi stared at her in a daze, then suddenly bowed 90 degrees and said solemnly: "Lord Kikyo, if I take you there, you will definitely get more clues."

What Fuzhi was talking about was a stalactite cave located outside the Chuyao Village.

Go through the village and follow the mountain road, and you will find a cave a hundred meters away from the village.

Fuzhi brought Kikyo here, and Hades Shura was also curious about this and followed.

Fuzhi pointed to this place. The cave entrance was three meters high and three meters wide, which seemed very wide. "Fifty years ago, the leader of that generation peeled off the monster's flesh here and found the Four Souls Jade."

Kikyo looked around, then at the cave entrance, and said, "So this is the birthplace of the Four Souls Jade. It seems that the evil energy is sealed very firmly."

Tomiji was surprised at Kikyo's statement, but in his eyes, this shrine maiden was full of mystery. She mastered many spells and methods, so it was normal for her to see things that ordinary people could not see.

Last night she drew her bow and shot Naraku. The arrow pierced through the bodies of three villagers in succession and razed the sacrificial house to the ground.

But in retrospect, the three people were safe and sound without any injuries.

Fuzhi specifically asked about this, and according to those people, at that time it seemed as if there was only a feeling of sunlight shining on the body and the soul being purified.

So Fuzhi continued, "It seems that you can also see that the entrance of the cave is different. It is covered by an invisible force that refuses some life to approach."

Mingjia jumped up and down on Yunmu's head, "Is this the barrier set up by Cuizi?"

"No." Just as Fuzhi shook his head, Kikyo also said, "This is the power that flowed out of Cuizi's body after her death, forming a kind of power that has been combined with this stalactite cave."

"It's really amazing that after hundreds of years, he can still maintain this level of strength."

But even though she said this, her face remained calm.

She came to the entrance of the cave, and a pure glow overflowed from her white palm. It was caused by spiritual power, which gently stroked the invisible barrier, making it visible and turning it into a glass-like barrier that blocked the way ahead.

The two different spiritual powers vibrated against each other, the barrier was like ripples on the water, and Kikyo's palm was also responding.

These two strongest witches from different eras are communicating in a special way, as if they are spanning the long river of time.

Kikyo closed her eyes and sensed it. After a moment, she sighed softly, "Tsuiko, I already understand your deep sorrow."

She stepped out, her body placed in the dark cave, and looked back, "Underworld Shura, you come in too."

"Since you invited me..." The Asura of the Underworld snorted, walked forward, and without hesitation, stepped over the barrier.

During this process, the barrier reacted and vibrated violently, and then countless bright arcs of light burst out on the surface of Hades Shura's body.

His movements froze, and his foot didn't land, just stayed in mid-air.

Kikyo said nothing, but watched the scene silently.

Hades Shura frowned, his instinct told him that there was no danger, but what was going on with this strange phenomenon? A clear force flowed through his body, like waves rising and falling, washing his body.

He felt a little uncomfortable, and every inch of flesh on his body tensed up involuntarily. He heard the painful screams of the monster souls.

The monster soul that had been imprisoned in his body and suppressed by his will, and had been quiet until now, was now rioting, as if it had encountered its natural enemy.

But no matter what, Kikyo would not hurt him.

Hades Shura made up his mind in a very short time, and he passed the barrier smoothly without noticing any resistance or expulsion.

Kikyo was laughing softly, looking at Hades Shura with great interest: "I thought you couldn't come in, Hades Shura!"

Hades Shura had a subtle expression, and kept a straight face, but he felt that he shouldn't lose his temper, "Let's stop joking, Kikyo!"

"You are angry and embarrassed, right? Cuizi rejected the monster soul in your body, so why did you stop? Why are you hesitating? Are you doubting me, or are you unsure of yourself? Where is your bravery? You are the Asura of Hades!"

Kikyo's tone was relatively gentle, but the content was very sharp. Fuji and Meika looked at Hades Shura's increasingly ugly expression in fear, especially Fuji, who was afraid that Hades Shura would tear her to pieces because of this series of questions and sarcasm.

He deadpanned, "You are such a petty woman. Kikyo!"

Kikyo raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a kind of pride and joy of revenge: "Because when I first saw the monster soul in your body, I was also shocked. Hades Shura!"

This vengeful woman.

The Asura of the Underworld knew that he was in the wrong and said no more.

He once used the illusion of these monster souls to cause Kikyo to have the wrong idea that she had fallen. That series of expressions, from shock to fear to firm belief, that bloomed in a short period of time was both beautiful and interesting.

But now, he was also speechless because of the questioning of these souls.

He couldn't refute what Kikyo asked. Why did he stop? Was he doubting that Kikyo would hurt him? Or was he distrusting himself?

But Kikyo did not hold on to this point.

Seeing that Hades Shura had a gloomy face and was silent, her expression changed for a moment.

That's all, Hades Shura, keep your distance, if you want to be dissatisfied with me, you can't fall in love with me...

Hades Shura did not look at Kikyo, so he could not see her complex emotions at that moment.

He thought in his heart: Maybe when Kikyo asked him to come over, she didn't mean to mock his idea. She wouldn't do such a childish thing, and how could she set a meaningless trap.

Kikyo was sure that I could come in. She trusted me so much. When I stopped, was she disappointed and that’s why she acted like this?

Chapter 43: Straight Spirit

Fuzhi was actually quite surprised.

They didn't know much about the stalactite cave. The existence of this cave was longer than the history recorded in their village.

Later, after such a long period of observation and experimentation, the villagers had a general understanding of this power.

This is not the resentment of the monster, but Cui Zi's will.

They all agreed that this was due to Cui Zi's unwillingness to give up the Four Souls Jade.

The Four Souls Jade has appeared on this land many times over the past few hundred years. Monsters from successive generations have fought each other, affecting many villages and causing the displacement and death of countless people.

Finally, a rule was summed up - if you feel compassion for the deaths of those people, then you can enter the cave.

However, Shura of the Underworld, a butcher with blood on his hands who has killed countless people, does not care about the Four Souls Jade. He walks on this land just to kill more lives.

How could such a person enter the cave!

Fuzhi looked as if his worldview had collapsed, but when he thought of how Kikyo had allowed Hades Shura in as a matter of course, he suddenly felt that he was out of tune with society and became full of doubts about his life.

Could it be that Lady Kikyo did something to communicate with Tsuriko's power, so that Shura of the Underworld could enter?

This explanation was very reasonable, and Fuzhi soon felt relieved.

Then, Toji told Kikyo about this rule. If one saw the disaster brought by the Four Souls Jade, and at the same time maintained disgust for the jade but also had pity for the world, he could enter and exit the cave freely.

After hearing this, Kikyo shook her head and said nothing.

Fuzhi had been here many times, so he was naturally familiar with the place and came in easily.

Then, Yunmu also stepped into the cave, as if going home. Only when Mingjia was lying on Yunmu's back, he was bounced out by the force transmitted from the barrier.

The flea monster fell to the ground and rolled a few times before it reacted, somewhat incredulous.

"Why!"

The Asura of the Underworld has entered, but it is not allowed to enter?

Mingjia felt that he was being targeted.

When Mingfu Shura saw that Mingjia was rejected, he threw Kikyo's difficulties aside and said happily: "Inuyasha's retainer, it seems that you have no compassion."

Mingjia said angrily: "What about you? You, the Asura of Hades, have killed thousands of lives, how can you have such mercy?"

The Hades Shura spread his hands and said with a malicious look, "I'm afraid Cui Zi saw me after she died and was moved by my charm. She let me in even if it was an exception."

Fuzhi really wanted to refute Hades Shura, saying that it was nonsense. How could the person who was moved by you be Lady Tsuriko? It was clearly Lady Kikyo.

Of course, he knew the limits and what to say.

The atmosphere between Kikyo and Hades Shura was weird and their relationship was ambiguous, like they were both enemies and friends. It was not something he could get involved in at all.

The two of them have a certain tacit balance that they maintain in their daily lives, allowing them to live in harmony. If he spoke unexpectedly and broke that balance, it would be hard to say what would happen.

I saw Hades Shura and Mingjia arguing - Mingjia was arguing, and Hades Shura was invincible, teasing Mingjia in a very ordinary tone.

"After all, who can resist the powerful and compassionate me?"

Just wait and see, Lady Kikyo will not let Hades Shura be so proud and will speak soon.

Sure enough, when Fuzhi just thought of this.

Kikyo could no longer tolerate the arbitrary words of Hades Asura, and blurted out: "Enough, Hades Asura, it's not your unwarranted pity that allowed you in."

Hades Shura's face froze, "Hmm?"

Kikyo was silent for a long time, and when he spoke, he could only give an explanation.

"Although the experience summarized by the demon hunters is correct, it is too one-sided. They did not get the correct answer passed down by their ancestors." Kikyo turned around, looked into the depths of the cave, and said, "The four souls are one. When walking on the right path, the soul will exist as a righteous spirit. When you have this awareness, you can come here."

"Tsuiko's power still remains in her mind, and even after death, she is rejecting evil people."

Mingjia thought thoughtfully, that is to say, according to this logic, does it mean that an upright soul must have compassion?

But this statement was very difficult for Mingjia to accept. He asked himself, as a monster, he had lived for a long time. He had followed Inu no Taisho to conquer the world for hundreds of years and witnessed countless deaths. Therefore, he had no feelings about life and death.

It is reasonable that its soul is not upright.

But Shura of the Underworld, could it be that this guy is actually an upright person in his heart?

In fact, Mingjia had never come into contact with the Shura of the Underworld, but he was knowledgeable and had lived for a long time. He had made the acquaintance of many famous monsters with the help of the reputation of Inu no Taisho. What kind of person had he not seen?

But Asura of the Underworld, he could not figure out what kind of character this guy had.

Kikyo glanced at Hades Shura and whispered, "Without knowing this rule, only those with a strong sense of awareness and a firm belief in their own rightness can cross the barrier without hindrance."

Hades Shura had no feelings about this, neither was he surprised nor did he deny it. He smiled at Kikyo and said, "If you want to praise me, just say it directly. There's no need to beat around the bush."
