Gunslinger from Butei

On a sunny day, the villagers of Maple Village are working in the field with hoes on their shoulders. There are three or two people gathered on the field ridge to chat and gossip. Children wearing simple dyed kimonos run past the house like a gust of wind, attracting a lot of scolding. And laughing and scolding.

This is a piece of pure land that is hard to find in troubled times.

But today, the peaceful and peaceful atmosphere in the village was broken by a thunderous roar.

The nearby villagers who held farm tools as weapons gathered together, staring in amazement at the swift ghostly figure approaching from the other end of the mountain road——

"What is that? A monster?"

"Go and inform Kagome-sama!"

The strange black thing that made a terrible sound stopped after kicking up a burst of mud in front of it. The villagers took a closer look, and suddenly calmed down a lot-it was clear that two people were sitting on the thing.

"Hey, wait, isn't that a mage!"

Soon someone recognized the handsome man in the monk's robe at the back, his face relaxed immediately, and he complained carelessly: "It's too scary! Master Maitreya, could this be your new monster mount... What's wrong with you?" , His complexion is not very good!"

"Haha—it's okay. I'm sorry to scare you." The mage jumped off the motorcycle with a pale face covering his mouth. The moment he landed, his legs went limp and he almost didn't kneel on the ground——

With lasagna tears in his heart, he wanted to comfort the villagers: "This is a means of transportation similar to a bullock cart, just like Kagome's bicycle. By the way, is Kagome here?"

"Master Kagome and Inuyasha went to the mountain to collect medicine. However, someone has already called them just now, and they may be back soon." An older woman replied.Her eyes fell on the girl who was still in the car, and she asked in a solemn tone, "Master, is this lady...?"

"This is Ji Jun from Liujo City." Mitreya thought for a while, and gave this answer, "Ji Jun has something to ask Kagome for help, so I brought her here."

"That's right." Looking at the young girl who took out a strange-looking long tube to cover her eyes and looked around, the old woman's eyes narrowed with a smile, "This Ji Jun...is really different."

She said with nostalgia: "For some reason, seeing her reminds me of Kagome-sama who just came here."

"Your Highness, what are you doing?" Maitreya smiled and coaxed the old man away, then turned his head and asked suspiciously.

"I saw a very familiar tree, and I couldn't help but want to confirm the details." Oda Haiyin replied softly. The girl slowly moved the binoculars in her hand, and her vision shifted from the tall and sacred sacred tree. On the red dot, he smiled and said, "Here we come."

"Hey! Which monster who is not afraid of death dares to make trouble here!" The white-haired dog demon wearing a fiery red fur coat has already shouted, and he is carrying a girl on his back. He set up a pergola with his hands and looked over here from afar.Oda Kaiyin stared at her for a few seconds, put away the binoculars, stood there with a smile and waited for her to approach.

"What, it's Maitreya." She moved her nose, and the dog demon, who was originally aggressive, showed a puzzled expression, and then jumped and landed beside the mage, "What the hell are you doing? This woman is who?"

The beautiful black-haired girl stood there casually, with empty hands and no weapon, and her whole body seemed to be full of flaws.But the moment the pair of extremely energetic green eyes projected over, the fur all over the dog demon's body exploded, and the instinct of the dog made him grit his teeth and prepare to draw his knife: "Kagome! Get back quickly! This guy is super dangerous!! "

"Wait! Inuyasha, calm down." The girl who was guarded by the dog demon was stunned the first time she saw Oda Haiyin.

Without too many words, Kagome understood many things in an instant.

After time, Xian Lian became a mature girl who stopped her lover, then turned her head to the girl with a gentle and friendly smile, and asked, "Did you come to find me on purpose?"

"Nice meeting, hello, Miss Higurashi Kagome." Oda Haiyin imitated her and tilted her head, blinking cutely, "I am Oda Kaiyin. You are a little different from what I imagined."

"Hey Kagome, didn't you hear what I said! Don't approach this woman casually!" Inuyasha jumped angrily, clutching Kagome's arm and wanted to take her away, but Kagome gently said "sit down" fall.

A deep pit in the ground appeared.

There was a dog buried inside.

Maitreya stood aside with arms folded, looking around erratically.At this time, several playful children stared at the unfamiliar vehicle parked here, and a little girl reached out her little hand to touch the exhaust pipe curiously and fearfully.

The improved version of the true mountain bike has a very cool appearance, dark blue paint and large tires with a strong sense of presence. It is dangerous in the eyes of people in this era, but it is only handsome in the eyes of children. Very interesting and novel.

It's so cute... After becoming a father, the mage, who has become more patient with children, watched the children's play with great interest. Looking at it, he felt faintly as if he had forgotten something.

Seeing the presence of the most reliable priestess in the village, the villagers were all relieved. Except for a few who watched the excitement, everyone went to the fields again.

"You are different from what I imagined, Oda-san." Higurashi Kagome looked at this heavy motorcycle with a blank expression, "I worked so hard to move a bicycle here. What the hell are you doing?" Did it?"

"That, it's probably because we came here in different ways." Oda Haiyin observed her expression, and only from the few words after the meeting and the stability of the guarded village, she roughly grasped that the former The character of the heir of the Higurashi Shrine revealed the reason readily, "I came to this era when I was affected in the battle with the enemy. That is to say, but the reasons are very complicated. I suspect that it is caused by multiple factors. The uniqueness of…”

"Although I don't quite understand..." Kagome's eyes were a little blank, and he said apologetically after a while, "However, in this case, I may not be able to help."

"No, you can do it." In Kagome's eyes, the beautiful girl opposite her who was a few years younger than her, who looked like her classmate's younger sister, showed a cute and lovely smile, and nodded to her affirmatively. She took out one from her pocket - she could recognize it even when it turned into ashes - the Jade of the Four Souls? ! ! !

Higurashi Kagome gasped.

Inuyasha licked his face from the ground and pulled out the broken teeth at his waist.After Mitreya was startled, he immediately made up all kinds of conspiracies in his mind, and at this moment, he had a flash of inspiration, and finally remembered that his son was still left as a hostage in Liutiao City by the other party——

"Even His Highness is too despicable! Give me back my son!!"

Oda Haiyin smiled slightly.Even in this suddenly tense situation, her voice still sounded very leisurely: "I didn't snatch it, so how can I pay it back? It's obvious that the mage himself forgot his son in Liutiao City, right?"

Maitreya choked: "But, it was His Highness who took me away..."

"Did I promise a high reward? The mage also agreed." Oda Haiyin looked down at him condescendingly, with a dignified tone, "Or are you insisting on shifting the responsibility for abandoning the child to me who has nothing to do with the child?" ?”

"It's my fault." Mi Le was immediately shot through.

"My maid should be taking care of it now. After you pick it up, the child's food expenses in Liujo City will be doubled." Oda Haiyin said in a cool tone.

"Double the food expenses... double..." Maitreya knelt down on the ground depressed.Although it was a false alarm and it was a good thing not to have to be an enemy of the invisible 'His Highness', but now he is not happy at all.

Kagome watched this scene amusedly, and the tension that had risen in her heart dissipated unknowingly.Her first impression of Oda Haiyin was good, and her attitude was full of kindness. After all, this girl's identity is too special, and it is quite easy to resonate with her.

Even if she deflated Master Maitreya in front of her, she only felt that Haiyin was very strong and adaptable enough.She herself knows best how much suffering modern people have to suffer when they come to this era of war and chaos.

Even with the Jade of Four Souls——no, it's really strange, isn't it? !

"It's not very convenient here, let's talk in another place." Kagome took a closer look at the jade of the four souls that Oda Haiyin took out, her eyes were a little complicated, but she still smiled at Haiyin, "If you want I will tell you everything I know about the Jade of the Four Souls. But after that, I hope you will carefully consider my suggestion."

Oda Haiyin nodded.In terms of trade, it's a bargain.

The two reached an agreement, so naturally there was no dog talking.

After protesting several times to no avail, Inuyasha squatted beside Kagome angrily and did not speak, but his eyes were still full of vigilance and he was always paying attention to every move of the suspicious person, keeping a firm eye on her with practical actions.

Oda Haiyin pretended that he did not exist, and finally met a shrine maiden who knew everything about the Jade of the Four Souls and was full of kindness. She naturally had to hurry up and figure out everything.After all, there is still a stupid cat waiting for her to go back in Liujo City. If you don't hurry up, Oda Haiyin can already imagine that guy Satoru wakes up and finds that no one is there, and throws a tantrum regardless.

In the shrine where the Jade of the Four Souls was once sealed, Kagome sat opposite Hai Yin, and she began to explain with a serious expression: "The Jade of the Four Souls was originally born from a tragic battle. It was an accident that cannot be replicated. Cuizi, the most powerful witch at that time, faced a big monster assembled by countless monsters. She fought endlessly with the invading monsters until the end, because the human body was exhausted after all. I lost my natural ability and died with all the remaining monsters."

"What kind of natural ability?" Oda Haiyin asked.

"The most widely circulated theory is that Cuizi can extract the souls of monsters and purify them." Kagome explained, "Different from ordinary witches' pure demon-breaking spiritual power, Cuizi Priestess is a special existence. She draws the soul of monsters at the end. The soul of the big monster formed by fusion, merged with his own soul, and then purified together, and what remained in place in the end was only the crystallization of their fused souls, which was named [Jade of the Four Souls] by later generations."

Oda Haiyin listened quietly, with no waves in his eyes.

"So, when I saw the Jade of the Four Souls in your hand, I was really surprised." Kagome said with emotion, "I should have made a wish to make the Jade of the Four Souls disappear. Obviously back then, I saw it with my own eyes. To the soul liberation of Cuizi Miko..."

"Liberation..." Hearing this, Haiyin's eyelashes trembled, as if remembering something.

"Yes, Jade of the Four Souls is not a static world, and the time in it is also flowing." Kagome considered the sentence, explained the concept of the Four Souls and Zhiling Quling, and then described, "I and Inuyasha was once trapped in Yuzhong's Quling, so he has seen the situation there. Cuizi Miko has continued to fight with her former deadly enemy for a hundred years, sometimes gaining the upper hand and sometimes losing the wind. The reason why people with the jade of the four souls can so easily affect the color of the jade. People with evil intentions holding the jade will give Qu Ling a direct advantage, and Qu Ling, who is condensed by the soul of the evil spirit of the monster, will also instinctively guide the holder to become stronger and stronger. Fall until Zhi Ling is completely suppressed, gaining the upper hand forever..."

"Really? It turns out that you have been working so hard all this time—" Oda Haiyin stared down at the Jade of the Four Souls that belonged to her between her fingers. It was difficult to describe her mood at the moment, and she shouted in a soft and hoarse voice, " Mother."

For a moment, everyone saw a beautiful phantom in a red and white priestess costume appearing behind Oda Haiyin.

The eyebrows and eyes are gentle and sentimental, like sunny flowers in spring.
