Kagome Higurashi was clearly very disappointed with this result.
"Huh, Kagome, what do you mean by this?" Hearing Kagome's sigh, Inuyasha was clearly very dissatisfied. "Do you think that without this guy's help, I can't handle that demon?"
"Isn't this obvious?" Kagome glared at Inuyasha and said irritably, "If you could handle this by yourself, would you have needed to come all the way here?"
Yin Kong is not only very strong in combat, but he can also see the hair of [Reverse Hair Jie Luo]. If he could go back to the Warring States period with them, he would definitely be a very reliable teammate.
Seeing this, Yin Kong also reminded him:
"In that case, can we also assume that as long as the two of you don't bring back the power of the monsters, it's impossible for them to extend that power to the modern world?"
"Miss Kagome, you could have stayed at the shrine indefinitely; there's no need for you to return to the battles of hundreds of years ago."
By now, he had realized that although the girl in front of him possessed considerable power, she was essentially just an ordinary person caught up in an unusual event.
Forget about fighting, she hasn't even learned how to use her power yet.
"Kagome..."
Upon hearing this, Inuyasha couldn't help but show worry in his eyes.
Despite the half-demon boy's seemingly strong demeanor, he appears to be powerless to stop Kagome once she truly decides to stay in the modern world.
“Mr. Yin Kong, what you said makes a lot of sense, but I can’t be so selfish.”
Kagome Higurashi's expression also wavered slightly, but quickly, she glanced back at her worried family members, and her gaze soon became incredibly firm:
"People from that era must have had parents and families too... The Shikon Jewel incident started because of me, and I think I should do my best and not shirk my responsibility."
What a brave and kind girl!
Looking at Kagome Higurashi's serious and determined expression, Yin Kong thought that if they were on the continent of Teyvat, a God's Eye might have already fallen from the sky by now.
“Since Miss Kagome insists, I have no reason to stop her.” Yin Kong thought for a moment and asked, “However, although I cannot go back to the past with you two and fight side by side, I am willing to do my part.”
"Huh?" Kagome looked pleasantly surprised, then exclaimed, "But Mr. Yin Kong is such a kind person. Even though he's a complete stranger, he's willing to help us like this."
Yin Kong didn't explain, but instead asked:
"What weapons do you two specialize in? Guns, swords, greatswords, bows..."
"Why are you asking this? Are you trying to give us weapons?" Inuyasha raised an eyebrow, asking curiously. "I don't care about myself, but for Kagome, a bow and arrow would probably be more suitable."
After all, she is the reincarnation of Kikyo.
Yin Kong nodded and said:
"Indeed, that demon uses hair as a weapon, while the two of you are fighting bare-handed, which is somewhat disadvantageous... Inuyasha, what do you think of this sword?"
"This is... a gift for me?"
Inuyasha was immediately surprised when he saw the bright, gleaming silver-white two-handed greatsword that suddenly appeared in Yin Kong's hand.
After all, in his memory, there were very few people who were willing to treat him so kindly.
Not to mention, Yin Kong also seems to possess such powerful exorcism techniques.
In the past, he would have always kept his distance from such people.
However, Inuyasha hesitated for a moment, but ultimately accepted Yin Kong's kindness.
At the same time, the moment he grasped the silver-white greatsword, he sensed its unusual nature and exclaimed in surprise:
"This force is—"
Yin Kong explained:
"This sword is called the Iron Shadow Broadsword. It is the famous sword of the Lion of Light, Erendel. Although this is just a replica, it can still provide certain enhancements to the wielder."
Feeling the increase in his own power, Inuyasha casually swung his greatsword a few times. Finding it extremely easy to handle, he immediately began to look at Yin Kong with new respect:
"You actually gave me such a precious weapon. You're a pretty good guy. If you ever run into trouble in the future, you can come to me for help."
“That’s natural.” Yin Kong smiled and looked at Kagome Higurashi. “Then there’s Miss Kagome. This bow is called the ‘Oath of the Sharpshooter.’ It is said to have once belonged to a highly skilled sharpshooter.”
"Huh, I have one too?"
Clearly, Kagome Higurashi doesn't yet see herself as a proper combat unit.
“Of course, Miss Kagome, I can sense that you possess immense power. If you could master it, eliminating those black-haired people would be a piece of cake.”
After offering a reminder, Yin Kong continued to explain:
"This bow can also enhance the user's strength, and as soon as it is drawn, an arrow will be automatically loaded, which is quite convenient."
Compared to Inuyasha, Kagome Higurashi is clearly more able to feel the boost from weapon stats.
Moreover, she had previously used a wooden bow from the Warring States period, and its appearance and feel were worlds apart from this [Oath of the Sharpshooter].
Kagome tried to draw the bowstring, and sure enough, she saw an arrow "reappear" out of thin air.
"Wow, wow, wow! Amazing! But isn't this a bit too precious?"
The girl was not the carefree Inuyasha; receiving such a precious gift on their first meeting inevitably made her feel extremely apprehensive.
Seeing this, Yin Kong chuckled and comforted him:
"It's alright. If you two really feel bad about it, you can tell me more about the customs and culture of the Warring States period, as well as the stories of those monsters. Of course, it would be even better if you could collect some special materials, such as their remains after they were destroyed..."
Judging from Kagome Higurashi's description, the monsters of the Sengoku period were also divided into many attributes, and their drops might not have been materials that could be used directly.
But at least, it should be closer to real breakthrough material than the demons and monsters currently roaming the city.
The problem is that without the materials, Yin Kong can't break through the character's level cap. Without breaking through the level cap, he can't clear the twelfth level of the Abyss Spiral.
If he can't clear the Spiral Abyss, he won't be able to travel to the Warring States period to collect materials...
If you want to break out of this vicious cycle, the young boy and girl in front of you seem to be the best option.
"Moreover, I gave them to the two of you to verify a guess."
Kagome was taken aback and asked curiously:
"What guess?"
"Miss Kagome, are you really sure you've returned to the Warring States period hundreds of years ago, and not to some parallel universe, or even just a special illusion?"
Chapter 94 A Mother's Request
From a purely rational perspective, since the Sacred Tree has already demonstrated its power over time, it is not incomprehensible that it possesses the ability to allow Kagome Higurashi to travel back in time.
However, aren't they afraid of messing things up by so easily traveling between the two eras?
Putting aside other things, if Inuyasha and his friends had burned down the Sacred Tree or destroyed the Well of Bones hundreds of years ago, how many chain reactions would that have had in the modern world?
"These two weapons are very special, and it would be difficult to destroy them by ordinary means."
More importantly, this was the result of his wish-based gacha pulls.
Even if others could perfectly replicate the appearance of these two weapons, it would be difficult to replicate their special effects as well.
"Therefore, I hope that one day in the future, when you two feel that you no longer need them, you can find a way to properly preserve them to this day."
"What parallel worlds and illusions? What are you talking about?"
Inuyasha clearly didn't understand at all; his young eyes were filled with innocent naiveté.
In comparison, Kagome is clearly much smarter:
"I see, I understand!"
If they left these two weapons behind during the Warring States period, and if Yin Kong can find them again in modern times, it would be enough to prove that they have indeed returned to several hundred years ago.
Conversely, it also doesn't prove that her time travel was fake.
After all, hundreds of years have passed, so it's perfectly normal for any accident to happen.
But in that case, Yin Kong would have to consider more possibilities.
"Of course, these are all things for the future. For now, the two of you just need to make full use of their power to fight."
Upon hearing Yin Kong's words, Inuyasha's face immediately broke into a hearty smile:
"That's it? You should have said so earlier. Well then, let's go! Oh, by the way, Kagome, you can wear this dress for now."
After Inuyasha draped his red fire rat fur over Kagome's shoulders, the two of them quickly disappeared into the Well of Bones.
Hope everything goes well.
Although Inuyasha made it sound easy, both of them were clearly still very immature in terms of strength.
Especially since Kagome grew up in a peaceful era, she hasn't even learned how to fight.
Such a combination is highly likely to fail when facing treacherous and vicious monsters.
"However, do you all need to keep staring at me like that?"
Yin Kong turned around and saw the Himura family of three, as well as Yukino Yukinoshita, all staring at him.
Especially Yukino Yukinoshita, her eyes clearly and plainly displayed two words:
Higurashi Sota was the first to ask a question:
"Brother Yin Kong, are you perhaps a legendary Onmyoji?"
Yin Kong returned to the living room with everyone else, and the remains of the poor Mr. Television had already been cleaned up.
Now that things have come to this, he has nothing left to hide:
"Of course not. If I had to say, I'd be more like a wandering Taoist priest."
The Traveler plus the Alchemist should be considered a wandering Taoist priest, right?
Higurashi Sota looked completely bewildered, but Grandpa Higurashi, who was in charge of the shrine, explained:
"I know this one. He should be similar to the wandering monk in our country, namely the Zen Master Ikkyu."
"Wow, that's really amazing!" Higurashi Sota's eyes lit up as he excitedly asked, "Brother Yin Kong, can I learn the skill you used to defeat the monster?"
Yin Kong was not surprised at all when he heard the question.
Or rather, it would be abnormal for a child of this age not to be curious about mysterious forces.
However, facing Higurashi Sota's expectant gaze, Yin Kong simply shook his head and said:
"Unfortunately, learning magic requires certain qualifications."
This is certainly not the truth.
While the exorcism spells taught by Zhongli do indeed require elemental power to unleash their full potential, the fact that the Liyue Tianheng lineage has been able to pass them down stably demonstrates that ordinary people are also qualified to practice them.
However, without the Eye of God and not having outstanding talent, one might only be able to deal with ordinary demons and monsters even after a lifetime of cultivation.
If this were on the Teyvat continent, it wouldn't be so bad; even if one's own strength is insufficient, one can still call upon others.
Moreover, Liyue is also protected by immortals.
However, in today's bizarre world where demons and monsters roam freely, it's hard to call it a good thing to learn something without mastering it.
"Is that so?"
Not to mention Higurashi Sota, even Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't help but show disappointment on her face.
Of course, there are exceptions, such as Kagome Higurashi's mother.
Mrs. Higurashi first bowed, then straightened up and asked with a solemn expression:
"Mr. Yin Kong, may I ask you a question?"
Seeing this, Yin Kong unconsciously straightened his expression and asked:
"What kind of problem is it?"
Mrs. Higurashi asked in a low voice:
"In your opinion, just how dangerous is Kagome's situation? If possible, please tell me the truth."
How could a mother not be worried when her own daughter is involved in such an unusual incident?
However, even though they had only met briefly, Mrs. Higurashi had already roughly figured out Inuyasha's personality.
Inuyasha is certainly not a bad person, but in terms of mental age, he might be even more immature than Kagome.
Asking them such questions will not get you any formal answers at all; on the contrary, it will only spread your worries to the two of them.
However, Yin Kong was different.
