Twelve Trials from Scratch

Su Qi started a conversation, but then kept silent, with a distant look on his face, as if he was caught in a long memory.

Kikyo: "..."

Su Qi: "..."

Kikyo: "..."

Su Qi: "..."

"Speaking..." After a moment of silence, Su Qi finally said: "Shouldn't you answer 'Long story short'?"

Kikyo watched him quietly, and said calmly: "We still have a lot of time, if you want, you can talk about it in more detail."

"Uh, forget it, let me make a long story short..."

So Su Qi put the knife back into its sheath, sat across from her, and made up stories while watching the dancing bonfire.

The story begins hundreds of years ago in the Heian era, when there was a powerful witch named Cuiko.

She is good at a powerful spell that draws out the four souls of monsters, purifies them, and makes monsters lose their power.Because of this, the monsters hate her and fear her. Finally, in order to fight against her, like hundreds of monsters eating ghost spiders and giving birth to Naraku, all of them possessed an evil man who had a crush on Cuizi and fought against him.

The battle lasted for seven days and seven nights. Cuizi was exhausted and her lower body was swallowed, but she still used the last bit of strength to draw out the souls of herself and the monster, which was the original jade of four souls.

According to Su Qi, his ancestor was another warrior who had a crush on Cuizi. He also participated in that battle and survived under the protection of Cuizi.After Cuizi died, he vowed to fulfill Cuizi's last wish and purify the jade of the four souls, so he ran around looking for witches, mages, priests and others with strong spiritual power.

However, the negative spiritual power of the jade of the four souls is too strong, and no one can completely purify it. In the end, the news was leaked, and it was snatched away by monsters.

When he was dying, the samurai deeply hated his lack of ability, and passed down his will. The descendants of the family took the responsibility of purifying the Jade of the Four Souls from generation to generation, and would never stop until they completed the task. Has been entangled so far.

"What about Naraku?" Hearing this, Kikyo asked, "Why are you so attached to Naraku?"

"Fifty years ago, the Jade of the Four Souls suddenly disappeared for a long time. In order to investigate its whereabouts, my father traveled away from home more than ten years ago..."

With a touch of reminiscence and sadness on his face, Su Qi's eyes dimmed, and he said in a low voice: "But soon after that, the news spread that he was killed by Naluo. To be honest, more than ten years have passed, and the figure of my father is still there. My mind has long been blurred, and the sadness has faded; but no matter what, the son of man should avenge his father, so... Naraku must die!"

At this point, the two fell into silence again.

Su Qi is not worried that the story he made up will be exposed.First of all, the incident of Cuizi has passed for hundreds of years, and there is no proof of death at all. In the original book, it is only used as a background board, and the settings are very vague and rare; secondly, just like a vampire does not remember how many pieces of bread he ate, Naraku killed him directly and indirectly. With so many people, it is of course impossible to remember the details of everyone.

In the end, today's Kikyo still doesn't know the origin of the jade of the four souls, but what Su Qi said is true, and if the two sides verify it, it is half true and half false, so naturally there will be no doubt about his identity.

After a while, Su Qi took the initiative and said, "So what about you? You should have seen Inuyasha, right? Are you still clinging to your previous thoughts?"

"As long as that woman is by her side, I can't kill him."

Even so, the resentment in Kikyo's tone faded.

As the saying goes, if you work hard, then decline, and then exhaust, morale is like this, and so is resentment.First, she was pestered by Su Qi for more than half a month, and when she learned the truth, she was rejected by Inuyasha, and forced to retreat by Kagome...Through this over and over again, her resentment that had been rising since her resurrection finally gradually calmed down.

And compared to the false resentment, what she cares most about now is actually another thing, or another person - Kagome.

Kikyo is also a woman after all, and she will be unwilling to lose to other women after all, but she also knows very well that she is already a dead person and cannot bear all the responsibilities of a woman; , can't win.

So what is she going to do now?Even she herself is very contradictory and at a loss, but there are two things that are certain - she still has concerns about this world, and she can't wait to drive Naluo into hell with her own hands.

As deep as longing, so deep is resentment.If it wasn't for Naluo, maybe she could also be happy like an ordinary woman, but now, what awaits her is only loneliness and despair, and all this is because of it!

There is no direct answer, is it because I don't want to say it, or I still have resentment...

Su Qi couldn't see through Kikyo's thoughts, and he didn't care too much about it. What he cared more about was whether she could become a qualified teammate now.

"Then what are you going to do next? Do you want to hunt down Naraku with me?"

He asked directly, and Kikyo replied, "I... will walk with you for a while."

……

And while the two were discussing how to deal with Naraku, the latter was also thinking about them.

In the dark hall covered with bamboo curtains, there was only one oil lamp lit. Naraku was still sitting in the shadows, holding the Jade of the Four Souls, looking at the lights, and murmured softly: "Is Zhizhixiong Kenshin and Kikyo Two tricky guys have come together, so you have to be more careful next time."

In his mind, the combination of Su Qi and Kikyo is indeed more threatening than Inuyasha and his party.The former is not only stronger, but has less intelligence, and his mentality is also more mature, crushing the latter in all directions, so he immediately focused more attention on Su Qi and the two of them.

In addition, he could feel the heart of the ghost spider in his body stirring, wanting him to take Kikyo back.Of course he suppressed it and ignored it, but it was inevitable that he would be affected a little bit.

"Oh, Naraku, it's not your style to show weakness like this."

The woman who spoke was sitting leaning against the window rail, holding a folding fan, wearing a kimono with wide-sleeved twill and deep red and white background, wearing a yellow belt, her eyes were blood red, her mid-length hair was tied up with a feather headdress, her face was cold and seductive, and she spoke to Naraku in her words. No respect at all.

"Oh..." Naraku was not angry, but just glanced at her, and said lightly: "Then Kagura, what do you think I should do?"

"Do everything you can to get rid of the threat as soon as possible." Kagura opened the folding fan to cover the lower half of his face, with a sneering smile on his lips, "Isn't that what you are best at?"

"Are you mocking me for never fighting the enemy head-on?"

"I didn't say that."

"Hmph, if I were as stupid as you, I would have been killed hundreds of times by others." Naraku sneered, "Time is on my side, the longer I procrastinate, the stronger I will be; so just monitor That’s good, let’s test their details by the way, when all their hole cards are clearly seen by me, it’s the time of their death.”

Chapter 74 Lao Yinbi Steals the House

Ten days later, somewhere in a small mountain village.

Boom...boom...boom...

The ground shook, and the wooden houses trembled, as if they might collapse at any time.

"Run! Monsters have entered the village!"

Amid the exclamation, the villagers at the entrance of the village scattered and fled.

Immediately afterwards, a big ghost with a height of more than three feet, a black body, a leather skirt around the waist, two horns on his head, and bloody fangs came out of the forest like a hill and walked towards the village.The sun shone overhead, and the frightened birds scattered around, casting large shadows on the ground.

But at this moment, a white rainbow shot out and hit its right leg.

There was a sudden bang, and as blood and flesh splattered, a huge hole appeared in the big ghost's leg, which was thicker than an elephant. With a miserable howl, he fell to the ground.

The next moment, another figure appeared, jumped up, stepped on its back and rushed up.He reached the neck in the blink of an eye, drew the sword and slashed out, the sword light flashed like an electric shock, the huge ghost head immediately slid down, and plasma gushed out from the broken neck like a waterfall.

Soon after, the village head brought a group of people to thank him and offered money as a gift.

"I would also like to thank the two adults for their help, otherwise this mountain ghost would come every day, and all the women in our village would be eaten up."

He walked up to Su Qi whose sleeves were stained with blood, his face was pale, and he bowed cautiously to thank him.

"You don't need to thank you. You pay money and we contribute. It's just an exchange of equal value."

While the latter wiped the jade of the four souls that had just been taken out and was still stained with blood, he casually perfunctory with a deadpan expression on his face.Afterwards, he said a few nonsense nonsense, then left impatiently, and left the village with his companions.

"The sixth piece..." On the road outside the village, Su Qi held the jade fragment of the four souls, admiring its magical and psychedelic brilliance, and said with a smile: "Jiangyou, thanks to you, I was able to get the jade in a short period of time." I collected four pieces of four-hundred jade within a short period of time, and it is really difficult to find the lost property with the radar."

Kikyo, who was sitting a little behind, was used to the strange words his companion occasionally said, so he didn't answer, but quietly observed him with eyes like mirrors.

Su Qi has also gotten used to his companion's silence, and he doesn't care. While putting the fragments into the small bag specially used to store the jade of the four souls, he said to himself: "It's just a pity, I still haven't found out the location of Naluo. And Today, I cut down a few more fierce victories. It is obvious that the old Yinbi in Naraku is still watching us and may cause trouble at any time. The enemy knows our actions well, but we know nothing about the enemy's movements. If this continues, sooner or later If there is a problem, we must find a solution as soon as possible.”

This time Kikyo finally spoke, but said: "Before that, I have to solve your problems first."

"What's wrong with me?" Su Qi was slightly taken aback, "What's wrong with me?"

"Didn't you notice? In the past few days, your personality has become more indifferent and impulsive, and you have become more obsessed with the jade fragments of the four souls, and you have become stern. Even though those people knew that you would not hurt them, they still Fearing you in my heart is proof."

The authorities are fascinated, but the onlookers are clear, Kikyo's words shocked him, and when he realized it, a wave of fear rose in his heart.

Indeed, now that I think about it, I did have some abnormalities in the past few days, but these abnormalities were not obvious, subtle, and I couldn't even notice them; or even if I noticed, they were distorted by a force, so I didn't care...

Su Qi's thoughts turned, and he immediately thought of the most likely source of the problem, "Is it the jade of the four souls?"

"The more fragments of the Jade of the Four Souls gather, the stronger their power will be." Kikyo explained: "Before, your spiritual power and concentration were enough to temporarily isolate the Jade of the Four Souls, but as the number of fragments increased, You who come into close contact with them will inevitably be eroded."

Su Qi's eyes flashed, and he settled down to feel his own spiritual power. Sure enough, he found that there was a faint trace of obscure external power; and then felt the jade fragments of the four souls on his body, and found that their spiritual power fluctuations seemed to blend and resonate, polluting his own soul. The power efficiency has increased several times.

"It's troublesome..." He frowned slightly, and then looked at Ji Jiao, "Ji Jiao, can you purify the jade fragments of the four souls?"

The latter said nothing, just stretched out his hand, and touched the bag containing the four soul jade.

The next moment, a stream of pure and flawless spiritual power exploded, and the jade fragments of the four souls shining with strange light in the bag instantly became as clear as ordinary crystals, and Su Qi was also in a trance, as if washing away the spiritual tension. There was a layer of dust, and the thoughts suddenly became clear and active.

"I temporarily purified the jade of the four souls, but it didn't cure the root cause. I have to purify it again every once in a while."

He thought for a while and said, "Why don't you separate the jade of the four souls and put half on your body?"

Kikyo glanced at him and shook his head slightly, "No, it's safer to put it on you, just let me purify it once a day. But you'd better remember that if you use the jade of four souls, the speed at which your spiritual power will be polluted will be faster, and the more fragments are used, the rate of contamination will increase exponentially."

"I remember, thank you for the reminder."

After that, the two talked about getting rid of Naraku's surveillance.

"Let's go into the town." Su Qi suggested: "The most fierce victory is that we can't follow the densely populated towns. We can disguise there and leave quietly. If this continues, even if we find out about Naluo's whereabouts, we will be caught by him." Avoid in advance."

Kikyo agrees.

So that afternoon, the two entered a nearby city, changed into ordinary traveler outfits, disguised themselves as a couple and left quietly, successfully escaped Naraku's surveillance.

But such behavior naturally stimulated Naluo who had been paying attention to their actions.

"Heh, you deliberately entered the town to get rid of surveillance, are you going to attack me?"

In the dark hall covered with bamboo curtains, Naraku, who found that the two had lost their whereabouts, sneered, and said to the woman in kimono who was bored looking out of the window: "Kagura, don't you really want to go out for a walk? Now, I will give You have a chance."

"Oh, didn't you say to observe temporarily?"

"It's enough. And they have too many four-hundred jades in their hands, so they can't collect them safely; what's more, those two people are probably secretly checking our location. I don't want them to come to a game." Surprise attack."

"Then what do you want to do?"

"Go find a black witch named Tsubaki, I think she will be very happy to help us deal with our former enemies; then release the news that the monsters will attack Grandma Feng's village, forcing them to take action and reappear under my nose."

As he said, his eyes were deep and his eyes gradually turned cold, "Of course, it would be the best if we can kill them and Inuyasha together this time."

Chapter 75 Bento in advance

At night, in a village not far from the city.

At the cost of helping to exorcise a little monster, Su Qi and Kikyo, who got rid of Naraku's surveillance, temporarily stayed at the house of a rich family in the village.

Opening the paper door, facing the Japanese room in the courtyard, Su Qi watched the night scene in the courtyard while drinking tea, "As far as I know, the current Naraku is possessing the young master of a certain city, and the name of the family is ' Renjian', the possessed person is called Renjian Yindao. But these days we have almost searched all over Musashi country, but we can't find it, so let's go to the neighboring countries starting tomorrow."

Kikyo sat on the other side, just silently teaching and teaching the newly subdued soul worms, without speaking.

Su Qi shook his head and was about to say something more when his expression changed slightly and he stood up.
