My wife's name is Platycodon

Can such strength be acquired in two years?

Sure enough, compared to the hard training of humans, relying on the power of monsters is indeed a shortcut.

Shanhu felt bitter, but not everyone had the qualifications to be a Hades Asura. How many people in the world could absorb demon blood? She knew that Hades Asura had come this far only because of his own efforts.

"You just need to nod and hold my hand to walk on the Shura road. I can guarantee that within two years, you can become the second Dog General." Cong Yunya said confidently.

"You call yourself the Asura of the Underworld. A person with this title wouldn't even have the courage to slaughter all living beings, right? No way, then you might as well just give up this title."

Chapter 17: Platycodon, my Platycodon!

The Hades Shura sneered at Cong Yunya's words and said, "Why should I listen to you? Do I need to prove to you that I am the Hades Shura? How ridiculous."

He never cared about this so-called title, as the world imposed many titles on him. When he first met Kikyo, he also mentioned his other titles, such as the God of Death and the Mad Ghost. It was Kikyo who chose the name Hades Shura to call him.

From then on, he only had the title of Hades Shura in front of Kikyo.

A name is just a code name and does not necessarily have to have a profound meaning.

Although both Inuyasha and Kagome's names have their own meanings.

But as a pariah born, his name in this life is just "Crow".

Without a surname, one cannot be one of the “common people”. His fate is like the weeds that can be found everywhere. Even if it is burned by a fire, it will grow again quickly next year.

Because there is never a shortage of these wild grasses in the wilderness.

He had not forgotten Jialuo, nor had he forgotten the name "Crow", but he had never revealed either the former or the latter to anyone except Kikyo.

Because those who have nothing to do with him can call him whatever they want, he doesn't mind. Does it mean that just because someone calls him the Jade Emperor, he will become the ruler of heaven?

Seeing that he was not fooled and that the provocation was useless, Cong Yunya changed the topic and said, "Although I have never seen the Taishan Lord Ceremony, I also know the principle of this ritual, which is to exchange life for an equal death. You hope to use the ritual process to fill Kikyo's soul according to the rules of the underworld, but this involves another problem, a very fatal problem. The underworld is too deep, and your growth path is too wild. Without the foundation and knowledge, you will only fail at the last moment."

Cong Yunya said a lot in one breath.

Shura of the Underworld looked at it. It was not that he did not trust Cong Yunya. Although they had only been in contact for a short time and had not developed any feelings for each other, this magic sword was consistent in its words and deeds. A sword that could always say "destroy the world" was definitely not a scheming boy.

Finally, Hades Shura spoke up: "I know that creation is harder than destruction, Cong Yunya!"

He was not a stubborn person, but he knew very well that Cong Yunya was the real sword of destruction and did not have any power to save. To put it another way, even if what it said was true, Hades Shura was not mentally prepared to use the bloodbath method to exchange for Kikyo alone.

Because Kikyo would not agree, and that's why she is alive, to supervise him and prevent him from doing such a thing.

He sighed: "In short, I will not agree with your method. At most, I will use you to protect Kikyo's soul."

Cong Yunya suddenly became anxious: "Three years? Five years? If Kikyo dies because her soul is not complete, will you still throw me into the underworld out of despair?"

It was very angry. Although Cong Yunya was sealed in the scabbard for seven hundred years, it was seven hundred years without a master and had no worries, so it would not feel impatient. But after coming out and finding a qualified master, how could it be willing to continue sleeping in the darkness?

Murongyun Ya could tolerate the same personalities as Hades Shura and Inu Taisho. Because he was the sword master who controlled the sword, Inu Taisho threw him outside to get some fresh air in order to enter Izayoi's bedroom, and he had no complaints because he knew it would only take a few nights.

But three to five years is unbearable for it.

It has an owner. The Asura of the Underworld should hold it and go into battle. At the very least, he should keep Cong Yunya by his side. Otherwise, what is the use of it having this owner?

Mingjia glanced at him sideways. He didn't remember Cong Yunya as a chatterbox. In the years they had spent together, he had the impression that Cong Yunya was very cold, like a lonely and arrogant wolf who was difficult to tame.

It used to think that it was not easy for the master to subdue Cong Yunya by using his identity as a dog demon.

"Ahem, Cong Yunya, long time no see. But since you are held in the hands of the Underworld Shura, you should do your best for him just as you did for your master." Ming Jia advised, his small body being very inconspicuous on the table.

Cong Yunya glanced at Mingjia with contempt. He had an impression of this versatile flea, a monster from the Celestial Empire who claimed to have practiced in Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage for a period of time.

Mingjia's aptitude was limited, and as a flea it was difficult for him to become stronger, so he just lay down and did not pursue strength. However, a certain mosquito-like creature worked hard to become stronger. Although he was born in a low-class family, he managed to chew off the third-grade golden lotus with his perseverance. Isn't this more inspiring than Mingjia's?

Of course, not to mention the far ones.

The guy named Shura from the Underworld was standing here alive, competing with the big monsters in his human body. However, Mingjia, who also had the surname "Ming", remained indifferent and remained the same, which made Cong Yunya despise him.

"Cong Yunya, tell me what you think first." The Asura of the Underworld didn't know Cong Yunya's psychological activities, and at this time he really wanted to know the other question in Cong Yunya's mouth.

Since it concerns Kikyo, he doesn't want any accidents to happen.

"That means Kikyo is not qualified to reincarnate now." Cong Yunya answered straightforwardly.

The remaining soul of Kikyo now cannot even be called a soul.

According to Cong Yunya, if some humans die with hatred, then the emotions of hatred combined with the energy of heaven and earth can easily turn them into vengeful spirits.

Most of these vengeful spirits have become earthbound spirits. After death, they not only do not reincarnate, but are attached to a medium and stay in the human world, unable to be liberated. If they are liberated by practitioners such as witches and wizards, then these souls will let go of their obsessions and report to the underworld.

There is another type. Although they have been reincarnated, the thoughts that remain in the present world have formed something like a ghost. This kind of ghost has the characteristics of a soul, but in the final analysis it cannot be regarded as a soul, but a manifestation of residual thoughts. Once purified, it will directly dissipate between heaven and earth. There is no way to save it unless time is reversed.

The Asura of the Underworld had a dazed look in his eyes. Seeing this, Butterfly lowered her head and said nothing.

Fei Niao pursed her lips and took a step forward. Now that Hades Shura was sitting, she could easily get close to his ear and said, "There is a power in the cave of the witch Cui Zi, and that is the power of the regret that Cui Zi left before her death."

Hades Shura was shocked. He didn't expect that he had seen this kind of power before. He immediately remembered that Kikyo had communicated with Tsuiko through the barrier. He glanced at Asuka and said, "You mean Kikyo's power is similar to Tsuiko's now."

Asuka nodded silently. What she was sure of was that Kikyo was in a slightly better condition. She had her own thoughts, which was more important than anything else.

But Lady Kikyo already knew, why didn't she save herself? Did she only recognize Lord Shura?

Fei Niao fell into deep thought for a moment, she was undecided, not knowing whether she should say it out.

But Butterfly didn't worry about this. She came to the other side, bit her lip, and put her ear close to the Hades Shura's other ear. She said in a very soft voice: "Lord Kikyo has already made an agreement with Cuizi's soul that they should destroy Naraku together..."

After Butterfly finished speaking, she hesitated for a moment, then moved her lips and uttered a few words again.

The complexion of Hades Shura improved a lot. He glanced at Butterfly and said, "Really?"

"It's true." Butterfly nodded with certainty. Feiniao could testify to this.

Her sharp eyes slashed at the butterfly like a knife, wishing to pierce a few holes in it. This idiot actually ignored Lady Kikyo's warning, who had warned them not to be too nosy.

Mingjia was very distressed. He didn't expect that Kikyo had such a difficult road ahead. Would this be in vain? Since it agreed to help, it would definitely not be perfunctory. However, it was not very capable, but it had many connections. Even a big monster couldn't solve such a difficult problem.

It has been to the entrance of Cui Zi's cave. Cui Zi's soul has merged into the Four Souls Jade, but her power will remain in the world forever. This is a manifestation of Cui Zi's unfathomable cultivation.

The Taishan Lord Festival only works on spirits. It is still unknown whether Kikyo’s current condition can reach this standard. Even if it does, she still has to face subsequent situations.

It pondered for a long time, and finally said something indifferent: "Underworld Shura, if the situation is really as Cong Yunya said, then we need to pay more attention during the Taishan Lord Festival."

"I understand." Hades Shura nodded.

Mingjia really has no other choice. If the master were here, he might be able to come up with some valuable ideas.

Murongyunya was indifferent. It knew that Inuyasha had a regret before his death, but it was sealed in the underworld. It could only be revived by Seshomaru and Inuyasha if they reached a certain condition. Who could use this regret to revive Inuyasha? It was impossible...

Cong Yunya stopped thinking, and suddenly remembered that the witch had traces of the underworld mark left.

This is something it has never been able to figure out.

Even if there is no memory of the past, this innate knowledge will not disappear.

It is impossible for the mark of the underworld to appear in this world. All souls must undergo a true purification in the face of the ultimate power of the underworld. They must shed their selves, erase all emotions and memories, and finally return to their most essential state.

But why is Kikyo still alive? Cong Yunya is puzzled. In front of the ultimate power, no soul has room to resist. Even a strong man like Inu Taisho has to honestly devote himself to reincarnation, which is even more fatal to Cannian.

Even if Kikyo could come back, she should become heartless and desireless.

How did she find her feelings again? How did she resist the gravity of reincarnation?

The matter was almost over, Mingjia didn't plan to stay any longer, he wanted to go see Inuyasha.

Cong Yunyadu appeared, but was captured by the Shura of the Underworld. As the master's descendant, he was unable to subdue the magic sword. He still needs more experience.

Totosai should have also been alarmed by Murong Yunya and should be rushing here. He plans to work with Totosai to find a suitable opponent for Inuyasha to improve his strength.

In any case, although Tessaiga is weaker than Murasakibara, it is also a ceiling-level demon sword and cannot continue to be abused by Master Inuyasha like this.

After Mingjia left, Shanhu naturally had to stand up. She seemed a little nervous. She encouraged herself, then came to the Hades Shura in one breath and said, "Lord Shura, when I returned to the village this time, I actually looked for some information in the village based on the information left by the leader of the demon hunters two generations ago. According to legend, there is a legendary island in the eastern ocean, where the power of immortality is buried. If we find it, it may help Kikyo Miko."

Hades Shura silently noted down this clue and nodded. Seeing Shanhu still standing in front of him hesitantly, he asked, "Anything else?"

Coral gritted her teeth and said, "It's like this. Back in Naraku Castle, my brother Amber and I were captured by Naraku. Later, although Inuyasha and Kagome rescued me, my brother is still in Naraku. I have been worried about Amber's whereabouts, and I hope you..."

Before she finished her words, she bowed vigorously. She knew that Hades Shura might be in a bad mood, but if she missed this opportunity, she would not be able to speak next time.

Hades Shura does things according to her heart and has never accepted any commissions, so she knows that her request will most likely be rejected, but she really has no choice.

Naraku controlled Amber to kill his fellow demon hunters, and was then pierced through the chest by arrows. After the battle in Naraku Castle, his whereabouts are now unknown.

But she wanted to see the person alive or the body dead. Coral's eyes showed determination. As long as the Asura of the Underworld agreed, she would do anything.

Asura of Hades looked at Coral, who remained motionless, as if fixed in place, and could understand her feelings. But now Naraku was too stimulated by Kikyo, and it was unknown what she would do. It was difficult for him to guarantee such an uncertain thing.

"I understand." Hades Shura nodded, turned around and left without saying anything more.

Coral slowly stood up, hesitant to speak, and reached out her hand towards the back of Hades Shura, but finally hung her hand dejectedly.

She was unsure of the attitude of Hades Shura, and was not sure whether he took the matter seriously, but she did not dare to chase him and ask, lest he get impatient and tell her to be a bastard. It seemed that there was little hope.

No matter what, she left the rest to fate and did her best.

Being able to get an answer is already the best result. How many people want it but don’t have this opportunity.

She knew her request was rude, but Kohaku was her brother, younger than Kagome, and he was a coward, yet he had gone through such hardships.

"Woo∽" Yunmu made a soft whimper. She felt the same way as her, but there was no point in staying there, so she bit her calf.

"Coral is gone." Mingjia shouted.

The shrine returned to silence, and Asuka and Butterfly politely sent their guests away. Butterfly's true nature was exposed, and she looked at Asuka with great vigilance, ready to escape at any time.

She had just said something she shouldn't have said and was worried that Asuka would retaliate against her afterwards, but she didn't expect Asuka to just look at her coldly and go about doing her own thing.

Butterfly was surprised: "Aren't you going to hit me?"

Fei Niao looked indifferent and glared at Butterfly: "Do you really want to be beaten?"

Butterfly didn't get a pat on the head, but it was a good thing that she didn't get beaten. She had just leaked a secret. As Kikyo's shikigami, everything should be centered on Kikyo. But she suddenly lifted up Kikyo's skirt. Logically, she should be hung up in the sun for three days and then her neck should be strangled.

inside the house.

Platycodon is sleeping quietly, and its peaceful expression can make people feel at ease just by looking at it, just like the Sleeping Beauty in the fairy tale.

The Asura of the Underworld came closer cautiously, picked up Kikyo's head and placed it on his legs, smoothed her long black hair, and stroked her face gently with a gentle look in his eyes.

He whispered softly: "Platycodon, my Platycodon..."

Chapter 18: A Soul of One's Own

Kikyo's long eyelashes moved. She opened her eyes, confused, but soon regained clarity, looking at the lowered face of Hades Shura, who was whispering her name, his eyes full of tenderness, as if he was protecting his treasure.

"Did I wake you up?"

Hades Shura inserted his left hand into Kikyo's scattered hair. His five white fingers formed a sharp contrast with the black hair. He gently combed Kikyo's messy hair.

Her hair is of very good quality. It is long and thin and very straight, without any bends or splits. If you pull out a strand of hair and let it fall naturally, it will form a right angle of 90 degrees to the ground. The most commendable thing is that it has strong plasticity. No matter how it is rubbed, it can quickly return to its original shape. It is also soft, silky and feels great, just like the finest silk.

He became addicted for a while. Watching the black hair flowing through his fingers like water, he kept combing it over and over again. He felt that this feeling was very good and very relaxing.

Kikyo closed her eyes again, resting her neck on Hades Asura's legs. She felt a slight touch at the roots of her hair, but she did not move, nor did she stop Hades Asura. She looked calm and spoke softly, "I don't have the perception of a normal person. I can only wake up naturally after relieving my soul's fatigue. Otherwise, it will be difficult to be awakened by the outside world."

She was telling the truth. Once the soul falls asleep, it means that the self will cut off its perception of the outside world. If it is in the wilderness, it will be necessary to set up a barrier in advance to prevent its body from being discovered by wandering monsters and to be careful not to be eaten by wild beasts.

Although Kikyo couldn't think of any monster that would be interested in her empty shell.

But there are exceptions. For example, Kagome can wake her up from her deep sleep. They have the same soul and can resonate with each other. Birds and butterflies can also do it. They are her shikigami and can provide early warning functions. And Hades Shura can also do it...

"But it also saves the trouble of washing, which is very convenient." Hades Shura smiled, and the soft touch in his hands made him look comfortable. There is no metabolism, no need to take a bath, just use spiritual power to remove dust, and you can always stay clean.

The fairy in the dream appeared!

When he thought of this, he moved his fingers lightly and rubbed Kikyo's face, wondering if this was another explanation for her being out of touch with the world?

"In fact, the body is a kind of bondage. Only by breaking free from the shackles can you awaken your true power." Kikyo said lightly.

"Is this also the feeling you get from the current situation?" Hades Shura asked curiously. In his opinion, the body is the foundation of everything for humans. Only with a body can one have life, otherwise he will be like a rootless duckweed. He has always paid great attention to his physical foundation. Among the three-dimensional attributes, [Body] consumes the most points for strengthening.

But Kikyo is a true genius. He doesn't think Kikyo is talking nonsense, nor does he think what she said is unreasonable.

Kikyo tilted her head slightly, her expression gentle: "It's just for me."

Having a human body means accepting the identity of a human being and taking on her own responsibilities. She won't escape, but she doesn't think she will be happy this way either.

She remembered what Tsubaki Miko had told her, that only by abandoning the human heart could she unleash her true power.
