My wife's name is Platycodon

This is an omnipotent protective mantra. Although she has not fully understood it during this period, it is very simple to use.

Platycodon activated her spiritual power, and in an instant golden light became brighter. Nine characters intertwined and formed into "Wang" with the four vertical and five horizontal method, completely covering the body of Hades Shura.

Nine golden threads were wrapped around his body, and for the first time, Hades Shura sensed Kikyo's spiritual power fluctuations, which were as vast as the sea, pure and powerful.

But when he looked down at his current appearance, he felt very strange.

He watched JoJo's Bizarre Adventure not long ago and was deeply impressed by the appearance of a sexy Italian woman in the fifth part. Now he was half naked, wrapped in gold thread. If the mesh was not too large to be a lace bra, he would have a sense of déjà vu.

The golden light merged into the body surface and disappeared immediately. The demonic power in the Hades Shura's body was restrained, and the flow seemed to speed up a lot at this moment. It was no longer chaotic, but circulated along the nine fixed routes in the body.

But Kikyo seemed to have exhausted a lot of energy. After completing the ritual, she staggered and fell to the ground in front of Hades Shura.

For this kind of ceremony of the highest standard, an ordinary magician or shrine maiden would have to prepare at least a dozen ritual instruments, including the monk's vajra, rosary, and staff, the shrine maiden's hokosen bell or cypress fan, bat fan, as well as sword, sasa, sakaki, etc. Dozens of monks with great wisdom would be invited to chant sutras and set up a high platform. The whole process lasts for three days and consumes a lot of energy, but it can protect a city from being attacked by monsters for ten years.

But Kikyo did not have the conditions. She completed it alone, replacing all the prerequisites with her own spiritual power, and her purpose was not to protect the city.

"How is it?" Kikyo looked a little weak, and her face became paler - she used to have porcelain white skin that would never fade, but now it looked a little pale to the Asura of the Underworld.

"It seems to be quite effective." The Asura of the Underworld carefully sensed it and confirmed that his demonic power had indeed become much docile. He had not been bothered by these things before, believing that there would always be a way out when the car reached the mountain, but he did not expect that it was Kikyo who solved it.

Of course, it's not a solution. The most he can do now is to control the amount of demonic power so that it doesn't accumulate together and then burst out all at once.

Kikyo said gently: "You believe in your heart that you are not a monster, and you cannot truly integrate with the monster power you have obtained, so this situation has occurred."

For example, Inuyasha was born half-demon, and his demonic powers were innate, so he could naturally control them freely.

But Hades Shura was not born half-demon, and he did not have the mentality of a monster. Kikyo always felt that when he was able to control the demon power, his strength would increase by dozens of times.

She searched her memory and finally chose Liujia Secret Blessing.

This is not only a spell to break demons, but also a spell of protection. Even if she dies, her power and her will will remain in the body of Hades Shura and protect him forever.

The Asura of Hades saw Kikyo's pale face, her skin which should have been plump seemed to have lost its luster, and her black pearl-like eyes also dimmed.

"Doesn't this affect you?"

Kikyo shook her head and said softly, "I just need a few days of rest."

But her haggard appearance was not convincing. Hades Shura didn't know how much Kikyo had done, but it was definitely more than he thought. He reached out and helped her up from the floor.

"I won't refuse your kindness, but you have to do it within your ability. I don't want you to sacrifice for me."

Her body was very weak now, soft and powerless, and she let him do whatever he wanted. She just brought her legs together and placed them on the right side, supporting herself on the ground with her left hand. Her figure was delicate and full of feminine beauty.

Kikyo casually pulled her hair back, lowered her head and whispered, "I'm not as fragile as you think!"

This is true. Even the Asura of Hades feels that although he is now at the full ninth level, not counting his [body]. In terms of the two attributes of [qi] and [spirit], Kikyo far exceeds him in both quality and quantity, and is definitely above level ten. As for whether he is at level thirteen or fifteen, it is hard to say.

This also means that Kikyo can actually completely purify the evil spirit in his body with just one magic-breaking arrow.

But she didn't. Instead, she spent a lot of effort to help him subdue the evil power.

"Are you tired?"

Kikyo was very surprised and looked at him. "I understood one thing before I died, that is, a miko cannot be confused, cannot hesitate, and cannot show her vulnerable side, otherwise the monsters will have a chance to take advantage of her."

The Shura of the Underworld has no right to judge whether this idea is right or wrong. The world needs such witches to protect them, but witches are also human beings.

Are there really people who are completely free of confusion, never make mistakes, and never waver?

Do I count?

The Asura of the Underworld said to himself, I don’t count either.

What about Kikyo? She couldn't seem to do it either.

She freed herself, but threw herself into another fire like a moth to a flame, not hesitating to burn herself to ashes.

He had only seen Kikyo like this in Sayo's village. At that time, she used hypnosis, but her mental strength was exhausted and she fell into a deep sleep.

Later I heard her say that although hypnosis was ineffective, it had changed his spiritual world. Hades Shura still doesn't know what has changed.

And now, she used a similar method to turn herself into this state again, and made his demonic power quieter than ever before.

"It seems that you are indeed very tired." Hades Shura had a gentle expression. After a slight hesitation, he finally stretched out his hands, placed them under Kikyo's armpits, and carefully pulled her into his arms.

The witch was unable to struggle and just lay in the arms of Hades Shura, looking up at his deep eyes, which showed pure love and another kind of tenderness.

Is this guy feeling sorry for me?

Kikyo leaned her head on Hades Shura's chest. His strong heartbeat was like a lullaby, giving her a strong sense of security and making her feel immersed in his broad and warm embrace.

However, when my consciousness truly disappears, I am afraid I will never be able to experience this feeling again...

With inexplicable sadness, her eyes slowly closed and fell into infinite darkness.

"Platycodon..."

There was silence inside the shrine, and Hades Shura didn't want to move at all. The body of the person in his arms was cold, and it seemed that there was no way to give her the warmth of life.

He was used to being unscrupulous, and according to the world's understanding of him, it was normal for Hades Shura to snatch a few princesses and have half-demon children - they had already demonized Hades Shura, although this was also the fact.

But no matter in this life or in the previous life, this was the first time that he hugged a girl, but unexpectedly, he did not feel any uneasiness, only a kind of tranquility, which came from the calmness brought by Platycodon.

When I held her in my arms, my soul seemed to be truly purified.

He finally determined why he was willing to stay with Kikyo.

There was only this witch that he was unwilling to give up no matter what.

a few days later.

Inuyasha and his friends are back. They just returned to Maple Village and without much rest, they went straight to the shrine. They were in a hurry, as if they had something important to do.

Before they reached the shrine, they were spotted by Hades Shura, who stood at the torii gate on the hillside, looking at the people rushing out of the forest.

No one was missing and no one was injured.

They climbed up the hillside, looked up, and saw the Hades Shura standing above them, looking down.

Kagome waved her hands happily, "Brother Shura of the Underworld!"

Hades Shura nodded slightly.

Inuyasha and Kagome led the way, followed by Miroku and Sango, with Shippo and Kirara.

Arriving in front of the Torii, Inuyasha began to look a little unnatural, but he still straightened his chest, "Well, we want to see Kikyo!"

He has a strong self-esteem, so he won't admit defeat. He has the traditional character of a monster. Even if he can't win, he is still very confident and has a bit of arrogance. Even when facing his half-brother Seshomaru, he dares to rush forward head-on.

In comparison, the confidence of Hades Shura is closer to the confidence born from the mentality of a superior hunter.

Inuyasha was badly defeated by Hades Shura. He lost consciousness at the time, but he knew the outcome. It was useless even though he had transformed into a monster. Instead, he was beaten up badly, with torn muscles and broken ribs. There was not much good left on his body.

Although he didn't know his own limitations, he knew what was right and wrong. The fact that the Hades Shura didn't kill him was actually against the law of survival of the monsters. The so-called survival of the fittest, in Inuyasha's years of wandering, was literally the flesh of the weak was the food of the strong.

Judging from the aura of the Hades Shura, he should not be a kind-hearted person. I just don’t know why he let me go.

So after that battle, Gou Zi was very honest and actually had no hatred, because there was no fundamental conflict between the two of them.

However, when standing in front of Hades Shura, he was still a little embarrassed, but Kikyo had to see him, so he had to come over.

Hades Shura was not quite sure about their purpose. Seeing that Inuyasha was acting obediently, he did not shout for war. He snorted and turned away.

Inuyasha immediately became annoyed, "Hey, what's with your attitude!"

His old illness came back, and Kagome was helpless about it. She held her forehead and said, "Inuyasha, why can't you be fine? Big brother didn't stop us!"

"Tsk!" Inuyasha grinned. Of course he didn't stop it, but he was just unhappy with the arrogant attitude of Hades Shura.

Even if he couldn't win, he was still unhappy.

Shippo stood on the ground, looking very old-fashioned. He spread his hands and said, "It's understandable that Inuyasha is like this. After all, when you arrive at a place, you have to greet the powerful monsters there to avoid unnecessary battles. But the Hades Shura is not a monster. Inuyasha is still too naive..."

boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, Inuyasha punched Shippo on the head, leaving a big bump.

Inuyasha blew his fist, looking very proud. If I can't beat Hades Shura, how can I beat you?

After being beaten, Shippo burst into tears on the spot and cried loudly while holding Kagome's legs.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome felt a headache. She was already an adult, why was she still bullying a child?

The two of them were making a fuss, and Coral, Maitreya and Yunmu had unknowingly walked to the front. Maitreya looked at the two people who were still standing there and waved his hand.

The two of them hurried to catch up, and Kikyo happened to come from another direction. She was holding a wooden basin with freshly washed clothes in it. She walked slowly towards them, looking very lively.

There is a river nearby, and the clothes are Hades Shura's black waist bloomers. She commissioned Feng to make another one yesterday, and planned to let Hades Shura change them frequently.

Miroku stepped forward and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days. The witch is even more beautiful!"

Kikyo seemed to be in a good mood and said with a smile: "I don't need compliments or praises."

Coral on the side said: "Kikyo Miko, we are here to seek your guidance!"

Kikyo glanced at these people, and Kagome and Inuyasha also came over. Kagome's eyes were somewhat pleading, while Inuyasha lowered his head.

"It looks like you've run into a tough problem."

Everyone was silent. Miroku sighed and said, "We encountered Naraku. He set up a witchcraft in a funnel-shaped mountain. More than a hundred monsters were attracted and killed each other inside. Eventually, a powerful body was cultivated. That body was absorbed by Naraku, and he returned to his prime again and became even more powerful."

Kikyo chuckled: "Witchcraft, Naraku actually knows such a rare spell, it seems that he has not lived idle for the past fifty years."

Miroku was very surprised and said, "I wish you knew, Miko-sama!"

It is a pleasure to talk to a knowledgeable and wise person, but Kagome and Inuyasha have no idea about the effect and consequences of this spell, and even Sango is not very clear about it. If he didn't have some brains, the whole team would have been wiped out in Naraku's cave.

"Let me think about it. Naraku uses the fragments of the Four Souls as a guide. When a certain number of monsters are gathered, he will place a seal and let them fight inside, and eventually merge into Naraku's new body." Kikyo murmured.

This is what is called witchcraft. This poison technique, which was passed down from overseas, places the most poisonous things in the world in a sealed space. The one that survives in the end will be the strongest poison.

This kind of spell is even more terrifying when combined with the monsters' ability to devour each other.

"Not only did you break in, but you also took action?" She looked at these people with a scrutinizing gaze.

The art of witchcraft is not unsolvable. As long as you don't fight, you won't be involved. Then you can wait for Naraku to remove the seal and break free - of course, a better way is not to get involved.

According to Mairoku, Naraku found a funnel-shaped mountain to serve as a "bowl". Otherwise, there would be no way to restrain the behavior of monsters in an open space. Only a terrain like a crater could be used to impose a seal.

Sango looked ashamed, Kagome was embarrassed, and only Inuyasha was very calm - even though he was the first to take action.

According to Miroku, they were commissioned to go to the mountains, where they were attracted by a vortex of evil energy and accidentally fell into a trap set by Naraku.

Even the trap was not prepared for Inuyasha and the others.

After they took action, they found that they could not leave this place and were forced to fight the strongest monster.

Fortunately, Miroku was careful enough to recognize that it was the witchcraft technique. After finding Naraku's location, he and Kagome broke the seal and allowed everyone to escape.

Kikyo sighed, "Inuyasha, you would indeed do such a thing."

Inuyasha had a hard time getting mad at Kikyo, and he muttered, "Who knew that had anything to do with Naraku!"

Kagome saw it all, and she often advised Inuyasha not to be reckless, but Inuyasha simply didn't listen, and his attitude towards Kikyo was completely different now.

But she didn't want Inuyasha to be reprimanded by Kikyo, so she raised her hand and interrupted the conversation: "Well, we went there together at that time. It would have been great if I had discovered Naraku in advance."

Kikyo turned her gaze to Kagome, and she immediately took a step back. The memories from before came flooding back to her, when Kikyo suddenly told her not to appear in front of her.

But with so many people here, she shouldn't send herself away again, right?

But Kikyo didn't have such thoughts at the moment. She looked at Kagome strangely, and then quickly realized that it was because Inuyasha was too submissive to her.

"I see."

She did not continue to dwell on this issue. Inuyasha treated her like this out of guilt. In fact, the person who really cared about her was Kagome, but the child did not seem to realize it. She still wishfully believed that Inuyasha liked her because he was in the game.

No, maybe it's because of lack of confidence. Inuyasha doesn't seem to give her enough sense of security in terms of feelings.

"So, why did you come to see me?"

Kagome took a step forward excitedly and clenched her fists: "I hope I can get your help, Kikyo!"

"Help? What can I do?"

Kikyo turned around, put the wooden basin under the eaves, and then pushed open the door of Hades Shura's room. The latter was leaning against the wall, leisurely crossing his legs, eating snacks and reading comics.
