My wife's name is Platycodon

Yaoli, look at them, don’t you want to say something?

It's good to learn a little bit, even if it's just to purify the dust. Then you don't have to take a shower or worry about smelling bad.

Kikyo always smells fragrant... Although it's just an illusion, Kikyo doesn't have any smell. Inuyasha can smell the scent of grave soil, but he doesn't have a dog's nose.

Hades Shura commented: "Your spiritual power is still useful, Kikyo."

Although other people's children are better, there is no need to envy the relationship between me and Kikyo.

Hades Shura watched Kikyo skillfully squeeze out the venom and drip it into the container. Although she had not done it many times, she looked very skilled.

Kikyo smiled and raised her head: "Do you want it? But only women can use spiritual power."

The Hades Shura only said three words: "I am so angry that I am shaking."

Kikyo smiled. Although she didn't understand, she knew what Hades Shura meant, so she just needed to keep smiling.

He knew about this, so he thought it was outrageous.

This innate power makes no sense and negates all methods of practice.

The mage has practiced diligently and accumulated power for decades, but it is still not as good as the power that others are born with.

Fortunately, there are not many witches, otherwise they would all commit suicide by slitting their throats and praying to be a woman in the next life.

Kikyo is very willing to help the Shura of the Underworld explain the mysteries. They, the priestesses, seem mysterious to outsiders, but Kikyo has been a priestess for more than ten years and is still a priestess after her death, so it feels that way.

Talent is secondary; what really determines a witch's power is the power of her own mind.

If one is fearless in heart and has clear faith, one will emit the strongest light that can sweep away all demons and monsters.

But if it is overturned, it will be a disaster for oneself.

She only has a trace of soul, but her strength is no weaker than her when she was alive, especially after she broke through her obsession, it is because she has honed her mind to become even stronger.

Kikyo said slowly: "Women belong to the Yin element, so they can communicate with spirits and serve the gods."

According to her, the so-called God does not refer to a certain individual, but to heaven and earth.

The shrine maiden is born to be a bridge between heaven and earth. The so-called spiritual power is natural energy, so it can be driven by the shrine maiden.

But this kind of power is closely related to one's own state. Only by not being tempted, keeping a calm mind, and living with a pure attitude can one exert the strongest power.

She used to have a fellow shrine maiden named Tsubaki, who was jealous and vicious. Although she was the best among the shrine maidens, she used monsters as shikigami, cast curses on herself, and even challenged her without knowing her own limitations, craving the Four Souls Jade.

In Kikyo's opinion, Tsubaki is a corrupted priestess who should be expelled from the family.

Chun believes that only by abandoning human talents can the true power of the shrine maiden be unleashed. Unfortunately, even her own will is not firm. She has not realized the true meaning of the shrine maiden and does not know where the power of the shrine maiden comes from.

Kikyo stood at the pinnacle of this era, her gaze spanning the past, present, and even the future. What she saw was that only Tsuiko had reached this level.

Perhaps, Kagome who came five hundred years from now could also reach this level. That child had no shadow in her heart, and her talent and character were the only ones she had ever seen in her life.

Its powerful spiritual power even surpassed himself.

It’s a pity that most of Kagome’s spiritual power was sealed, otherwise she might not have to deal with Naraku on her own.

Moreover, potential is just potential and may not be converted into strength.

There are too many geniuses who have failed to grow up due to various circumstances.

Another point is, even though Kagome falls in love with Inuyasha, will she still devote herself to developing the power of a miko?

This is an unknown.

She lives in a world without a sense of crisis, which is different from her own thoughts after all.

Chapter 95: Seshomaru only walks in a straight line, so we just need to dig a hole in front of him...

The tender snake meat floats in the pot and is cut into small pieces. When the soup boils, Platycodon is added with spices and side dishes one by one. A full pot is cooked and the rich aroma wafts far away.

Hades Shura sat by the fire and talked about Kagura with Kikyo.

Kagura was one of the few people he had ever met who did not have an evil heart.

But that's not the point.

But Naraku has gained new abilities. The Four Souls Jade has enhanced his power far beyond that of ordinary people. It is difficult to say how much his power has increased.

However, the two were not worried that if Naraku was allowed to continue growing, the strongest monster in the world would be born.

Because Naraku is an imperfect monster, he can absorb monsters to strengthen himself, but he cannot become stronger indefinitely. There must be a threshold.

Moreover, Kikyo believes that there are also elements of Demon Spider mixed in Naraku's body.

The spider demon is the biggest obstacle on his way to becoming a great monster.

Because the prerequisite for becoming a great monster is to maintain an absolute balance between the mind, body, and energy, to have perfect control over oneself, to have no distracting thoughts, and ultimately to sublimate and become the strongest being in the world.

The Asura of the Underworld is rising in prominence, and this sign has already appeared. Now that I am accompanying him to cultivate his character, the Asura of the Underworld will soon make the final leap and transform himself into one of the few great monsters.

However, isn't it nice to have a partner who is at the level of a great monster?

And it sounds very impressive to obtain the power of a great monster as a human.

Because she herself had never seen a monster of this level, it was extremely rare and stood at the top of the pyramid in the monster world. After the Cuizi era, all the big monsters disappeared.

Kikyo herself did not have the time to venture into the territory of the great monsters to kill them in order to test her own capacity and strength.

That would only result in losses for both sides.

Naraku still has shortcomings now, and Kikyo is not sure whether Naraku will continue to indulge in his shortcomings.

She has a very high opinion of Naraku, believing that he is an opponent with no bottom line, whose methods are insidious and cunning, and the strongest enemy Kikyo has ever encountered. There is no reason for Naraku to tolerate his fatal flaws - the only explanation is that Naraku knows the current situation, but due to his own limitations, he can do nothing about it.

However, Kikyo always felt that Naraku might take some measures to perfect himself.

It’s just that both sides have information barriers, blind spots, and are hiding things from each other.

Naraku has a castle, Kikyo has a shrine, and both are thinking about how to beat the other's brains out. Each of them calculates the chance of winning, and after careful consideration, they both believe that they will win - this is the standard mentality of the strong. If you think there is little hope, there is no need to continue.

The news brought by Hades Shura today explained Kikyo's doubts to a large extent.

"Naraku has begun trying to separate himself? It seems that the Four Souls Jade has a significant effect on him." Kikyo thought thoughtfully, thinking that this was Naraku eliminating the hidden dangers in his body.

The monster's body is based on monster power, which is mainly reflected in the fact that the Asura of the Underworld absorbs monster blood, but what is enhanced is the attribute of [Qi]. The monster power accumulated in the body can almost touch the realm of a big monster. It's a pity that there is no qualitative change. The monster power is loose and uncontrollable and cannot be twisted into a force.

The power of Hades Shura is only strong on the outside but weak on the inside. It can only hold up the frame and is just a bully. When it encounters a strong enemy, it is completely vulnerable and will soon be disintegrated. It consumes a wave of his own physical strength and the effect is not very pleasing. Therefore, Hades Shura has never used the power of the devil before. Later, Kikyo carved the four vertical and five horizontal methods in his body, constructing a complete running track of the devil power, so he was able to use it.

The same goes for Naraku. Although he can devour countless monsters, simply accumulating demonic power will only make him look bloated and bigger. There are too many impurities in the demonic power, and his self-will cannot run through it, making it impossible to control all the power. By then, Kikyo can purify 90% of his body with one demon-breaking arrow.

Compared with accumulating quantity, qualitative change is what he pursues.

It was a smart move. Naraku did not blindly pursue power. He was very rational.

But it is also more difficult to deal with. The two are evenly matched. Kikyo has never underestimated Naraku. She stirs the spoon in her hand and whispers: "Don't worry about his clone, it's just a defect. Since he is controlled by Naraku, it's better to kill him."

Only Naraku can make her take him seriously, the others are not qualified at all.

When Kikyo saw that the ingredients in the pot were almost cooked, she took out a clean bowl, filled it with food, and handed it to Hades Shura.

Hades Shura took it, "But you haven't found a way to deal with Naraku yet?"

Kikyo remained calm.

"I won't let him live."

"If that jade is intact, Naraku should be able to be reborn."

He had seen the Four Souls Jade in Kagome's hand. Even though it was a severely damaged part, it still had terrifying power. Just a fragment was enough to trigger the deepest desires of human nature and cause the controller to corrupt.

If the jade is complete, its power is no less than that of a great monster, but the Four Souls Jade is difficult to use and can easily confuse your mind if you are not careful.

Kikyo also had to admit that it was impossible for Naraku to be deceived by the Four Souls Jade. "Naraku can perfectly use the power of the Four Souls Jade. His essence is almost the same as that of the Four Souls Jade. They are both a collection of many monsters."

Naraku and the Shikon Jewel are almost equally evil. Even a complete Shikon Jewel cannot affect Naraku. Instead, he will be used by him. The combination of the two will give birth to a deeper darkness.

Kikyo paused, then continued: "But the only difference is that there is Cuizi's soul inside the Four Souls Jade. Maybe I can reach some kind of consensus with Cuizi..."

From the moment she threw the Four Souls Jade to Naraku, she had been thinking about this matter. If the souls and wills of the two great priestesses were combined and resonated, their spiritual power would definitely be the most powerful priestess power throughout history. Even the complete Naraku and the complete Four Souls Jade would tremble under the power of the two of them and end up reduced to ashes.

This idea has a basis for realization.

Cui Zi's soul would not refuse. She had been trapped in the Four Souls Jade for hundreds of years. The endless battles had made her exhausted, and she had long been looking forward to being freed.

But you need to sacrifice your last soul.

Kikyo glanced at Hades Shura, her eyes were like water, gentle yet with a hint of loss.

But... I lost my awareness.

If there really comes a fateful showdown between Naraku and me, Tsuruko and the Shikon Jewel, when the time comes for me to sacrifice my soul, can I really die calmly and not betray Tsuruko?

Unlike when I faced Inuyasha in my previous life, why my spiritual power has not weakened now?

Can this world recognize the way I live my life in such a way that I cannot even think of sacrificing myself for justice or for all living beings?

Kikyo had no answers to this series of self-questions.

She only knew that she was not shaken, her soul was not confused at all, and she was even more determined than she used to be.

As the two were talking, Kagome's voice was heard from outside.

"Brother Shura, are you there?"

Kikyo in the house has absolute control over the shrine. From the moment she crosses the torii gate, the space where the visitor is located is clearly separated from the real world.

"It's Kagome, and the others..."

Hades Shura put down the bowl in his hand and walked out the door with Kikyo, and saw Kagome, Inuyasha and others outside the door.

Butterfly and Bird greeted them, knowing that these people had a deep connection with Lord Kikyo, especially the girl, who was Lord Kikyo's reincarnation.

Kagome waved her hand as a greeting, then came up to him, put her hands behind her back, and said with a grin, "Actually, I have to go back. I wonder if Brother Shura has anything I need to bring."

She is very polite, carrying a backpack and wearing a classic school uniform. She looks cheerful, optimistic and very likable.

"It's all right," Hades Shura nodded slightly, "or help me get some comics."

He turned his head to look at Kikyo, who nodded and suddenly had a few comic books in her hand, which she handed to Kagome.

Kagome took it somewhat flattered, looked at Kikyo with a complicated look, and said thank you in a low voice.

Kikyo was a little surprised, her eyes slightly closed, and after a moment she chuckled and said, "It seems you have gained something."

Kagome scratched her head when she heard that; she herself didn't understand.

This thank you was mainly because of Kikyo's previous guidance. Grandpa Mingjia said that she was blessed. The state of emptiness and clarity is a special realm that most practitioners pursue throughout their lives but cannot realize until their death.

It represents a sublimation of thought and realm.

Only those monks and masters with profound Taoism may have some insights. Every time they enter, it is regarded as an inspiration and enlightenment. In just a short moment, these people can gain a lot.

But Kagome entered this state unknowingly.

Miroku expressed his genuine envy of Kagome's experience. If he could also enter the realm of emptiness and clarity, even if it was just a glimpse, it would be better than three years of hard training.

No wonder Kikyo had such accomplishments at such a young age.

This witch is truly the reincarnation of a bodhisattva and a god. If this light could shine upon him, as a member of the Mi family, he would definitely recite scriptures and pray for blessings, and would do whatever it takes to get a good fortune for himself, preferably one that would bring him many children and grandchildren, and a prosperous family business.

I believe that with the divine power of the Bodhisattva Kikyo, he should not be able to make it difficult for him to fulfill his wish of marrying three wives.

In fact, Kagome herself was confused. Kikyo's spiritual realm was too high. She was definitely a great man in terms of thought. She couldn't even touch Kikyo's knees when she jumped.

But personal experience cannot be fake.

In the state of emptiness and clarity, although your eyes are closed, your mind is open and everything is different.

With her mind's vision as the center, everything was clearly visible and completely exposed to her eyes. At that time, she even felt that she could draw a bow and shoot at the stars, and she even considered giving the sun acupuncture.

But after shooting that arrow that separated Hades Shura and Seshomaru, he suddenly fell into that state. Only the afterglow remained, lingering in his heart for a long time before finally dissipating.

It’s not that she hasn’t thought about entering the empty and bright realm again.

But after leaving Platycodon, she found that the historical celebrities in the textbooks were not humble. It turned out that it was so comfortable to stand on the shoulders of giants. Looking far and wide, she saw a new world.

Just a slight residual feeling made Kagome a sharpshooter who never missed a target with her arrows, and her use of spiritual power also reached a higher level - she used to shoot blindly based on her feelings, and usually could only mobilize her spiritual power and shoot magic-destroying arrows when she was emotionally excited.

But Kagome was embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, I couldn't keep that feeling. I have almost forgotten that state."

Kikyo's eyes were gentle. She vaguely saw herself when she was young in Kagome. She was born with knowledge, and she learned through difficulties. Finally, she figured out the true meaning of a shrine maiden.
