219, two hundred and nineteen(1/2)
The arrow penetrates the jade body, and the spiritual power penetrates deep into the body. May the heart be expressed in the mouth, and for just a moment, the soul of man and jade is the same.
The sky, the earth, the thin clouds, the birds, the vegetation, the insects, the fish, all the colors faded instantly.
The darkness of the netherworld swept across, and the figures of the dead monsters reappeared. They were as numerous as cow hair, covering the sky, carrying a strong smell of blood, and surrounding the shrine maiden's aura.
As a result, Platycodon grandiflorum, who was holding the long bow, suddenly lost her strength. The look disappeared from her eyes, and she slowly closed her eyes, lowered her hands, bow and arrows, and knees, and then languished on the ground, as if she had lost her voice.
According to common sense, if something happens to the companion behind him, the righteous friend will inevitably divert his attention to look after her. Even if he is too busy to get away, he will still shout "Platycodon" at least.
At this time, the evil villain can often hit the righteous partner with one blow, then escape, and mockingly say "what a touching friendship", and finally reduce the righteous to worthless.
However, this time the camp positions were reversed, Enichi and Sesshomaru were as cold as villains. Not only did they ignore Kikyo, they even killed them even more ruthlessly.
On the contrary, Naraku was shocked. He didn't care about the four soul jade that was shot through, and just blurted out: "Platycodon!"
After saying that, even the dog was shocked. Who is whose companion?
"It's really sad, Naraku." Yuan held the knife, and Tie Suiyang turned into a razor blade, "You can't even see your own heart clearly."
Naraku's expression was extremely ugly: "Oh, that's just the product of the human heart. The bandit ghost spider never forgets the miko!"
"So I say, you are really pathetic." Yuanyi swung Iron Broken Fang and launched eight hundred consecutive blows, burning every fragment into ashes. "You will not dare to have anything to do with her until you die."
Naraku is full of lies, but his feelings for Kikyo are true. Unfortunately, he is about to die, but he has to use the name of Ghost Spider to tell even the last truth.
Does he really hate Ghost Spider's heart?
Or is he jealous of this heart...
Only Naraku knew the truth. Yuan Yiyi knew that he couldn't escape and didn't want to escape. Before the fatal blow fell, Naraku's barrier shattered in advance. He looked at Kikyo and closed his eyes in vain.
It is acceptance of fate, but also unwillingness.
Yuanyi's sword fell, completely cutting off Naraku's way of survival, and Qu Ling, who was high up in the sky, was also knocked out of his mind by the heavy blow from Tiansheng Ya.
The wind calmed down and the clouds subsided, and the miasma disappeared. Yuanyi sheathed the sword and returned to Kikyo after a few ups and downs to carefully check her condition.
Her breathing was normal, her pulse was normal, and her spiritual power was normal... However, her soul was connected to the Four Souls Jade that was pierced by the arrow, and she seemed to be fighting in another unknown world.
Enichi placed the platycodon flatly in the velvet tail, and Sesshomaru landed next to them, and they knew the whole story at a glance.
Then, there was a silent wait.
Your noble upbringing means that they will not leave their companions alone, nor will they touch Kikyo's body casually. They just take a moment and wait for her to wake up.
At the same time, in the ghost world, Kikyo looked intently and saw that she was the only living person left in the endless desolation. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were not there, and there were only densely packed monsters.
They stared at her eagerly, either coveting, sizing up, or being afraid, but without exception, they were all gathering towards her and surrounding her.
Kikyo released her spiritual power and held up a light blue barrier. She walked slowly towards the core area, but at this moment, the monsters seemed to have received some instructions and suddenly launched an attack on her.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they hit the barrier, they were shattered into pieces by spiritual power.
Even if Kikyo doesn't have a bow and arrow in her hand, her spiritual power still has fatal attack power against monsters, and it is not limited to the form of attack.
The barrier defeated a large number of monsters, but the number of monsters did not decrease. Kikyo discovered with sharp eyes that the monsters crushed by spiritual power would resurrect and attack her again, and so on.
"That's it." Kikyo looked at them, "You are not real entities, but souls trapped by the Four Souls Jade."
"Stay, witch!" The centipede demon Jiejie smiled strangely, "Be immortal with us and fight forever. This is your final destination."
"boom!"
Platycodon raised his hand and smashed it.
"My destination is not here." Kikyo resolutely walked towards the core area, "I am different from you."
Nearly ten years later, she still remembers Yuanyi's unintentional reminder: "I once had the Jade of Four Souls in my hand, but it couldn't even give me a packet of candy, and it couldn't fulfill my wish at all."
Why are there rumors that "wish can come true" even if the wish cannot be fulfilled?
Be it human beings or monsters, who would not want to try the Shikon Jade after hearing the rumors? But after trying, what happens to the person or monster who made the wish?
She thought that everything she saw now was the answer.
"I have never made a wish to the Four Souls Jade. It cannot capture my soul through wishes."
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the faces of the monsters all changed. But Kikyo continued: "If I guess correctly, you wanted to achieve your goals through the Shihun Jade during your lifetime, but you didn't know that the moment you made a wish, you
Falling into Jade’s trap.”
"You are a puppet of jade in life, and a slave of jade after death. You can only fight in jade forever and make offerings to jade. If this is immortality, then you are really pathetic."
Platycodon grandiflorum said: "You can't choose during your lifetime, and you can't choose after you die. You even have to stop me from purifying you just to support such a piece of contaminated jade."
"I don't want to think about who trapped you for so long?"
The monster's movements slowed down, and then suddenly broke out into a more violent attack. Unfortunately, Kikyo's barrier was as firm as her heart, and she remained motionless when surrounded by monsters.
She walked towards the Four Souls Jade smoothly.
I saw that this lavender jade was penetrated by the Demon-Breaking Arrow, and its surface had been cracked with countless cracks, as if it would break at any time. However, it still struggled to hold on, as if it was sure that Platycodon would "change its mind."
"Platycodon." It was Yu's voice.
Platycodon showed no signs of wavering: "You have indeed developed spiritual wisdom."
After a long silence, Jade's voice sounded again. It did not beg for mercy or defend, but just told a story: "Two hundred years ago, a half-demon child made a wish to me, but I was afraid of his soul, so
Don’t dare to take action against him.”
Platycodon stopped, she knew who it was talking about.
"That is the darkest thing in the world. If it breaks away from the confinement of the body, it will cause irreparable disaster." Shihunzhiyu said, "But it is difficult to release his soul. Only things that can touch the soul can do it.
at this point."
Platycodon stretched out her hand and pinched it. She seemed not interested in listening to its nonsense and just wanted it to disappear.
Jade's voice suddenly rose: "Witch! If you let me disappear, the two evil sorcerers imprisoned in Jade will reappear in the world! They have the ability to make him lose control. This happened two hundred years ago!"
"I am just a piece of jade. As long as I am sealed, I will not pose a threat to anyone. But after I disappear, the world will usher in a greater catastrophe! And the origin of all this is because of you, Platycodon grandiflorum."
"Yeah?"
Platycodon platycodon calmly said: "What does it have to do with me?"
Jade suddenly stopped speaking.
"Two hundred years ago, he lost control, but humankind still exists and has not been destroyed." Kikyo said, "You are afraid of him, and the magicians can't do anything to him. Why should I choose to let go of something that is already a disaster just to prevent something uncertain?
of you?"
"Shihun no Tama, you really take yourself too seriously."
"If there is really destiny in the world, then I was born in this world just to make you disappear." Platycodon said, "If I can't make you disappear, maybe this lesson will be brought to my next life, and the next life after that."
"You are the one who should solve this problem for me."
"As for greater catastrophes -" Kikyo sneered, "As long as humans don't die, babies with higher talents will always be born into the world. I may not be able to solve the catastrophe, but there will always be people destined to complete it, right?"
"Stop struggling. The Jade of Four Souls, all the excuses you make to survive sound ridiculous to me."
She closed her palms and wrapped the jade: "Disappear, the Jade of Four Souls!"
The entanglement between her and the jade was extinguished in this life. In an instant, the spiritual power in the Demon-Breaking Arrow poured out, shattering the entire jade into slag. Dots of light flew away, the vast darkness faded away, and countless monsters appeared.
The light fades into ashes.
In a daze, Kikyo saw a great miko holding a sword smiling at her. The figure disappeared into the light and seemed to be flying towards the distant Takamagahara.
"Jikyo, I'll wait for you in Gao Tianyuan."
Kikyo's eyes widened slightly——
"You're finally awake, Kikyo." Yuan Yi breathed a long sigh of relief, "You've slept the whole day."
Great to finally wake up! He doesn't need to think about how to feed and water her without breaking the rules, and he doesn't have to worry about how to deal with the little girl's hygiene. There is no little monster in the area for a hundred miles. If Kikyo sleeps more
One day, he could really die of worry.
"I slept all day?"
"Um."
Kikyo stood up from her velvet tail and politely thanked her. When she could no longer feel the breath of the Shikon Jade, she felt as if the shackles that had been on her body were removed.
She ended the fate of the jade-protecting shrine maidens of all generations.
From now on, there is no need to sacrifice miko to protect a piece of jade that brings disaster. Miko will have more choices, and there will no longer be conflicts in the world caused by the Jade of Four Souls.
She was liberated, and so were they.
"Where are Naraku and Qu Ling?"
"Dead." Yuan said, "The jade of the four souls was floating beside you before, but I didn't disturb you. Before you opened your eyes, the jade and the arrow disappeared together."
Kikyo nodded: "It's over...the entanglement between me and the Four Souls Jade."
"Have you ever thought about what the future holds?"
"Perhaps I will travel around." As if thinking of something, Kikyo looked at Yuanyi and said seriously, "There is one thing I need to remind you. The thing was told to me by the Shikon Jade. Whether it is true or not, it is up to you to judge.
"
