The Story of the Miko

Li packed the luggage and handed it to Kagome, and the girl came out from the shadows with light ups and downs.

"She's Murong Xizi, your senior sister. She's in the second year of junior high school this year, and she's two years older than you. You can find her if you need anything in the future." After the mother-in-law finished speaking, she looked at the boss standing farthest away, raised her hand, A red lucky bag arced out and landed in the boss's hand.He smiled, put away the cigarette pipe, opened it, and squeezed the shiny particles inside, which shone with a powder-blue luster in the air.

"Grandma, you are too polite."

"You deserve it. I don't need to owe you anything." The mother-in-law said.

He smiled, with the corners of his mouth raised and curved in a beautiful arc, and his bright eyes were smiling.

Kagome held Xiaobai in one hand, and carried a suitcase in the other. She looked at the bright girl in front of her and said, "Hi, my name is Kagome Higurashi. I just graduated from elementary school this year. This is my pet named Xiaobai."

The girl nodded, with a slight arrogance and a touch of alienation, and behaved like all proud and beautiful children.Kagome walked out of the boarding house with her mother-in-law, looked back to persuade Liu, and followed her mother-in-law quickly.Walking on the rugged path in the forest, the suitcase bumped and staggered along the way, Xiaobai was caught in the creaking nest by Kagome, screaming "Zhizhi".When he arrived at the mother-in-law's residence, Xiaobai's white hair was in a mess, revealing a pair of aggrieved watery blue eyes staring at Kagome vigorously, and the haze dissipated when Kagome took out the beef jerky from his arms expression. "Wuwu" put two front paws on Kagome's chest, and took a piece of beef from his open palm to eat.Kagome looked up, and there was an endless staircase in front of him.The blue stone steps stretched up from in front of Kagome, her eyes were wide open, her mouth opened in surprise, before she could close her mouth, she saw her mother-in-law and Murong Xizi were already climbing.

"Grandma, do we have to climb the stairs when we go out?" Kagome continued to hold Xiaobai who was still chewing in her arms, and dragged the box hard to pull it up. The box made a "bang bang" sound when it hit the steps.The mother-in-law did not speak. During the climb, yellow bamboo leaves fell from the dense bamboo forests on both sides.Kagome looked to both sides, and the thin dark green bamboo spread all the way to the shrine on the top floor.After finally climbing to the top floor, Kagome was so exhausted that she was lying on the box panting for breath.The house in front of me looks more like a large shrine. In front of the gate is a dense bamboo forest. Polygonatum odoratum blooms beautiful white flowers on both sides. From outside the fence, you can see tall trees and unknown flower and fruit trees in the courtyard.The mother-in-law pushed the door open, turned to Kagome and said, "Come in."

There is a path in the courtyard that leads directly to the back room. There is a small pond on one side of the path, and the water lilies are half open on it, showing crimson veins, and the crisp petals are delicate and lovely.On the other side is a green lawn.Walk through the path, surrounded by corridors, step on the stone steps and walk on the wooden floor.Murong Xizi led Kagome to a room, and after putting away the luggage, Xizi took Kagome to the hall, where her mother-in-law sat in the middle of the hall.

"Come here," said the mother-in-law.

Kagome walked over, and the mother-in-law reached out and stroked Kagome's forehead, nodding slightly.

"Kagome, do you know where this is?"

"Shikoku is where my mother grew up."

The mother-in-law smiled, "Then what else did your mother tell you?"

"She said she wanted me to listen to my grandmother and study hard."

The mother-in-law nodded: "Your mother didn't tell you that this is the land of nothing."

"What is the Land of Nowhere?"

"It is a place where monsters grow. The deep mountains and rivers here contain spiritual veins. It is a very rare place where animals can be psychic. Some of the animals that grow here have wisdom roots, which means they are very smart. Wait for them to have a certain period of time. With the accumulation of experience and experience, when wisdom reaches a certain height, they will become the type they want to be. Generally, they like to pretend to be humans. But among these animals, some are very kind, and some are very evil. They always want to destroy the entire East Wu The tranquility of the hometown of the East always kills animals weaker than them, so we have us. Our responsibility is to keep the entire Dongwuzhi in a harmonious tranquility. We have such responsibilities and missions, which is also The fate that every shrine maiden must go through. Do you understand?"

Kagome nodded half understanding: "Is it Sailor Moon?"

"more or less."

"Then my mother is also a witch?"

The mother-in-law froze for a moment, then shook her head slightly: "Your mother, she is not. At that time, grandma was still young, so I hope your mother can live and grow up like ordinary people, but now grandma is old and has no ability to protect this place anymore. , that's why you came, you come to protect this place for grandma, okay?"

Kagome was ignorant, and nodded after a long time.

"Good boy. Come, Xizi." Murong Xizi came over and stood in front of Kagome. "Her name is Murong Xizi, and she is also a witch. Although you are still studying, I believe that when you grow up, you will become excellent witches and protect this place well."

"I will protect this place and never let it suffer any disaster." Murong Xizi said seriously.Looking at Murong Xizi's firm eyes, Kagome also turned her head and said to her grandmother, "I will do it too." At this moment, there was a harsh "creak, creak" sound in Kagome's room, and Kagome suddenly remembered Xiaobai Still in the room, he ran back.

After Kagome left, "Mother-in-law," Murong Xizi said to the old man, "I can protect the land of nowhere by myself. Wasn't it you alone before? Why did you call her over?"

The mother-in-law looked at Kagome who ran away and said: "Although her spiritual power is not as high as yours, she has special skills that you don't have. I just want to protect this place with one more person. If she doesn't want to stay here in the future, it's okay to leave After all, she is my granddaughter, and I don't want to see her suffer any mishaps. It's just that, if you marry someone in the future, it is also her destiny to let her protect this place."

"I will not marry, I will always guard this place and stay with my mother-in-law."

The old man smiled and stroked Murong Xizi's long hair.After Kagome carried Xiaobai back, the mother-in-law turned to Kagome and said, "It's too inconvenient for you to walk to school, let's find a mount for you, like Xiaoxi."

Kagome looked up at Xizi, she was standing there with nothing around her.Xizi turned her head and didn't look at her, she was muttering something, suddenly Kagome felt a gust of wind blowing on her left side, when she looked up, a big leopard covered with spots the size of coins was standing beside Murong Xizi.

When Kagome saw the leopard for the first time, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, and hugged Xiaobai tightly in her arms, afraid that if she was not careful, this poor chubby little white dog would become a snack for the leopard to fill.

The big leopard glanced at Kagome, then turned its head and ignored her, its natural noble and elegant temperament made it hold its head high, and its golden spotted tail slowly raised and lowered gently.Murong Xizi stroked its head, and it rubbed against her hand with great enjoyment, and slowly turned around. Xizi sat sideways on it, and saw a jump, and the leopard leaped over a dozen or so at a very fast speed. The steps landed lightly, turned around, and the leopard turned back, and jumped back to the original point again.And Murong Xizi sitting on it didn't have the slightest ups and downs.

"Wow!" Kagome involuntarily opened her mouth wide, and clapped her hands "slap-pa-pa-pa".It was the first time for her to see a real leopard, and it was a proud leopard.The leopard seemed to turn his head away from her on purpose, with a contemptuous demeanor.Her master also seemed to feel this hostility, patted its head lightly and whispered in its ear: "She won't ride you, mother-in-law will find another mount for her."

The leopard pricked up its ears, wobbled it, and then turned to look at Kagome, and saw Kagome rolling his eyes at it, sticking out its tongue, and making grimaces.

As if hearing a low hum, the leopard turned away from looking at her again.At the same time pointing his ass towards her, his tail raised and lowered.

"Do you like that kind of leopard?" asked the mother-in-law.

The proud leopard suddenly stopped wagging its tail, and its ears were erected, as if listening carefully. "I like it very much, but it doesn't seem to like me very much." Kagome said.

After hearing such an answer, the leopard seemed very satisfied, and continued what it thought was an elegant tail flick.

"Take a break, after dinner, I will take you to the depths of the land of nowhere, there are many animals, you can choose one to be your mount." The mother-in-law said, and stretched out her hand to hold Kagome's hand and said : "But, remember, animals also have the right to choose their owners. If you don't get its approval, you can't control it, and the relationship between you can't be established. Remember?"

"remember."
