The taxi stopped steadily on the side of the road. The driver took a deep breath, tried not to look in the rearview mirror, and spoke as calmly as possible.
"This used to be an industrial area, and it was relatively prosperous. But as you know, the bubble burst in the past few years, and the economy collapsed. I don't know how many people went bankrupt overnight, and so many people committed suicide that they jumped off the building.
Queuing up, so you all know how miserable it is now..."
Having said this, the driver seemed to have recalled some bad memories and felt sad. The driver looked outside at the dark industrial area.
"It's gotten a little better in the past two years, but only a little..."
This place has never been able to recover. Many factories have closed down. At night, there is almost no one here. The dim lights illuminating the streets make it even more empty. The empty buildings and factory facilities are neatly arranged.
On both sides of the street, everything you see is like this, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
"Have many people committed suicide in recent years?"
The miko who had been sitting quietly in the back seat, feeling the convenience brought by modern transportation and the bustling night view of the city she saw along the way, raised her eyebrows. Her thoughts and attention finally changed from the focus on the big city.
Shocked and surprised, he broke away and looked at the people next to him in astonishment.
Along the way, she gained a more intuitive understanding of what the world would be like five hundred years from now.
Rows of densely packed high-rise buildings, neat and flat roads extending in all directions, bright lights of thousands of houses, and the constant flow of traffic on the highway... These extremely prosperous and orderly scenes were all bizarre and bizarre that she had just witnessed with her own eyes. Although she is very unfamiliar and does not understand many things and things, it does not prevent her from understanding how this land has evolved into after five hundred years of changes. This scene of prosperity and peace is what she
Things that people of that era could not even imagine.
But...why?
In this seemingly peaceful and prosperous world, many people have committed suicide in the past few years? The shrine maiden from the Warring States Period really can't imagine why.
"When the bubble economy burst, many people went bankrupt overnight, even burdened with a large amount of debt, and suddenly fell from heaven to hell. The savings and achievements of the previous half of their lives were completely evaporated. Not everyone can
Those who can withstand this kind of pressure and have the courage to start over again..."
Gu Mo said casually, and then when he saw the witch frowning and becoming more and more confused, he could only spread his hands——
"It's hard to explain this to you now, but Kikyo, you just need to know that every era has its own problems unique to that era. Life is neither easy nor easy. It's not just swords and monsters that can make people despair." "..."
"..."
The witch frowned, seemingly thoughtful, but she nodded slowly and did not continue to ask.
What are these two people talking about... The driver in front of the driver's seat couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes a few times.
This has happened in the past few years. It has not only shocked the whole of Japan, but also had a great impact on the world. But why does this miko look like she just heard about it and is still confused?
The look is coming.
Could it be that it is because you are so innocent that you are deceived by this pretty boy?
Looking through the rearview mirror at the expressions of the two people that made him unable to calm down, the taxi driver subconsciously held the steering wheel and said as if nothing had happened:
"This place is very remote, and usually not many people come here. However, the two of you know that the public security in this place is very poor, and some vicious incidents have occurred. Moreover, many people have committed suicide here in the past few years. It is said that there are
There are some bad rumors..."
I don’t know what kind of mentality and decision it came from, but he just felt that he had to ruin this pretty boy’s good deeds and not allow this hateful scumbag to succeed!
It's so abominable...
Along the way, he secretly looked at the witch. While he was shocked, he also became more and more heartbroken.
However, no matter how many times he suffered from heartache along the way, the cold reality made him come back to his senses and found that he had still dragged these two people to a remote place... The thought of what might happen next
What happened, and looking at the quiet miko in the back seat, he felt that he had to do something.
However——
"It seems pretty good here..."
Gu Mo looked at the environment outside through the car window and nodded slightly with satisfaction.
Sure enough, the local taxi driver is the best at finding this kind of place. If he had come by himself, he probably wouldn't even have a direction. This kind of place doesn't seem very popular, and it's especially deserted at night.
Suitable for use as a battlefield.
No, it is not correct to say that it is a battlefield. This statement is too flattering to the group of miscellaneous fish. It should be said that it is better suited as a slaughterhouse...
Because although those things have been peeping in the darkness, not hiding the fact that they are attracted by the breath of the Shihun Jade, and indeed coveting the power of the jade, in fact they do not pose any threat at all, if it were not for Platycodon.
If he insists, Gu Mo doesn't want to go through all the trouble to get here.
Since this place is quite suitable, he doesn’t want to pick and choose, so he might as well do it here!
While thinking this, Gu Mo easily took off his seat belt and said, "Then let's get off here...Thank you, master."
The driver's hand suddenly trembled. Did this person not listen to what he said just now? - Normal people should always be somewhat concerned and ask about what bad things happened or what bad rumors happened.
But he didn’t even answer the conversation, how could he continue?
After thinking quickly, the driver forced himself to calm down and asked: "Guest, are you sure you want to get off here? It's really remote here. If something happens here, no one may know about it...
”
Gu Mo replied casually: "That's great. This is the kind of place I want... Platycodon, let's get off the car, I don't want to wait any longer."
What they are doing here is to find a place that is suitable for fighting and will not attract the attention of ordinary people. This place is really suitable.
——That's right, solve it as soon as possible and go back early.
——Shopping with a miko is much more interesting than this.
"This..."
Listening to Gu Mo's words, the driver's fingers clenched tightly. He felt quite weak and at the same time, his heart felt cold. At the same time, there was an unspeakable and indescribable impulse of grief and anger rolling in his chest. How could this person be so bad?
In such a situation, why can’t this miko wake up in time?
Little did he know that the master sitting in the driver's seat was full of drama. Gu Mo blinked and looked at the witch next to him, about to say something.
"No, I can do it myself..."
The witch said, and turned away slightly. Although this person didn't do anything before, he just came over to help her fasten her seat belt. But she was not used to this kind of close contact, and she didn't know it.
It's easy to say, now that I know it, I won't let him help anymore.
It’s not difficult anyway, she just didn’t know it before.
"That's good..."
Gu Mo smiled and opened the car door without paying too much attention. After getting off the car, he went to the other side to open the door and watched the witch get out of the car.
"Master, please walk slowly..." Gu Mo waved to the driver's seat and looked at Platycodon grandiflorum. "How does it feel? I mean how it feels to ride in a car."
"No, you're welcome..."
The driver replied in a low voice. He originally wanted to say something, but found that neither of them seemed to be paying attention to himself.
"Let's go inside..." Gu Mo looked over and pointed at the dark and deserted street ahead.
The witch didn't speak, but just nodded, stepped forward, and at the same time reached out and took out a small piece of pink and translucent jade from her sleeve.
The breath of jade is the source that attracts demons and monsters. At this moment, it is emitted in the darkness. Certain things in the dark night naturally become more eager to move. They begin to approach here, and the red dots on the small map begin to appear.
Appear in large numbers.
Looking back at the taxi behind him that was slowly driving away in the direction it came from, Gu Mo thought for a while and said nothing.
He saw that the miko left a spell on the car before getting out of the car, and the Jade of Four Souls was here. The brainless monsters and monsters that were attracted were all here. At this moment, they
There is nothing else in my eyes.
"Coming..."
Looking up at the night sky, with her long hair being blown by the breeze, the miko said softly.
Speaking of which, it seems that on the night she left the village, Shui Yin was struck by spiritual power and collapsed somewhere. Has she never tied up her long hair... A strange thought flashed through her mind. Gu Mo stretched out his hand and gently
Gently press the handle of the simple straight knife hanging on your waist.
"I'll just come, you don't have to do anything..."
The witch glanced at him lightly and said.
Just to prevent the matter from getting bigger, she wanted to deal with the hidden dangers in advance. What would happen if this person pulled out Cong Yun's teeth here? It was completely putting the cart before the horse. It was not a question of using a bull's knife to kill a chicken.
But this demonic sword can definitely destroy the entire city in one swing.
"Eh?"
Gu Mo was stunned for a moment, then scratched his cheek: "I just want to give it a try to see if I can control this sword..."
He didn't want to attack those miscellaneous fish with a Prison Dragon Break, but he simply wanted to test the possibility of controlling this magic sword.
What's more, it happened to be dark now. He was confident that even if he couldn't suppress Cong Yunya, he could stuff it back into the sheath. The situation like Ergouzi wouldn't happen. The scabbard asked him to help stuff the sword.
When I went back, the result was that my body was directly controlled by the weapon.
"I'll just come." Kikyo repeated softly, and then she turned her eyes and stared at him: "If you want to give it a try, you can wait until you return to another era... There are too many people here."
Five hundred years ago, barren mountains and ridges could be seen everywhere, and there were places without human habitation for hundreds of miles.
Seeing the man nodding in response casually, she said nothing, turned around and took off the bow from her back, holding it gently in her hand, her eyes calmly looking at the dark clouds in the night sky.
, can sense that the large but not powerful, mixed and impure gathering of a large number of evil spirits is approaching.
Coming...
But you can't just shoot a demon-breaking arrow over them and evaporate them directly, because such a magnificent light shining through the night sky will obviously attract the attention of many people. So you can only let them come down, and then eradicate them...
Although it is a little more troublesome, it is also very quick.
……
……
At the same time, or at different times.
In the Warring States Period five hundred years ago.
Also outside the wilderness, a bonfire was lit. It was almost dawn, but Higurashi Kagome and the others were not sleeping. Instead, they were sitting in a group. Ergouzi, who was wearing a big red robe, was very mean.
He crossed his arms and asked angrily to the old man over there:
"Are you the swordsmith who made the Iron Broken Tooth?"
"That's right, I was the one who made your father's teeth into pieces of iron."
The bad old man said with a serious face. Although he looked very serious, his eyes were as big as copper bells and his whole body was skinny. He looked very funny and happy. He looked like a stupid person.
Bad old man.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Scared——"
Making a long and drawn-out tone that was obviously in a bad mood, InuYasha glared at the old man with an unhappy face: "Then why are you here, just to sharpen my knife?!"
"Inuyasha!" Higurashi Kagome pushed him from the side to tell him not to have such a bad attitude.
"Humph!" Inuyasha snorted coldly, turning his head and looking away.
He was already in a terrible mood because of what happened before. Not only was something verified, the ominous premonition turned into reality, but also his own sense of powerlessness, and the anger of being played by that person in the end... These feelings were all intertwined.
Together, it’s really uncomfortable.
But at this juncture, in the middle of the night, when everyone was having a good rest, this hateful old man suddenly came to provoke and cause trouble - without saying a word, he picked up the big hammer and launched an attack on himself...<
/p>
How could Inuyasha swallow this breath? Naturally, he fought back directly. However, the feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart again - the bad old man opposite was not particularly strong or fast, but he could easily use a hammer.
The iron teeth were smashed until they buzzed, and the mood commented that the sound of the knife "has become muddy";
The bad old man could easily use leather to block the blade of the iron blade. When he was polishing and maintaining it on the spot, he also seriously criticized Inuyasha for using the demon sword roughly, causing the blade to break. His tone was full of hatred and regret that iron cannot become steel. It seemed that
I feel like Tetsuya was wasted following Inuyasha.
This is a very similar scene to the evening before the day before...
It also made Inuyasha feel even more powerless...
The way he used the demon sword seemed to be too rough, and it was a complete waste of Tie Suiya's real power. He was unwilling to admit it before, but now he was easily suppressed by this old man in terms of technique.
After a while, he realized that his three-axe that had remained unchanged for thousands of years was really of no use.
"If you want to sharpen the knife, I will help you later..." Totosai said with a serious face, "I just came to see if you are qualified to use Tetsuya."
"..." He squeezed the demon sword in his hand tightly, Inuyasha gritted his teeth and scratched his neck, "Then what did you see? Am I qualified?"
"Actually, I don't need to look at this, I know it must be there..." Totosai still had the serious look of dementia on his face, his eyes widened, and he pointed at the Tetsuyasha held in Inuyasha's arms.
, "I can already smell the breath of wind injury."
"..."
"..."
The scene became slightly quiet, and Inuyasha's expression became a little stiff.
"Being able to inflict wind wounds means that Inuyasha can use this sword. This is the best proof..." Totōsai didn't know if it was because he was slow or something, but in short he didn't notice the subtle embarrassment in the atmosphere.
Gu ZiDe continued: "I only came to you after I found out that the knife was truly awakened."
Totosai is a monster and the best swordsmith in this land.
His ability is also related to the demon sword, such as the demon sword that was bred from his own body behind Sesshomaru. If he can see through its power and true name at a glance, then he can naturally detect the status of the demon sword he handles... and that is
Because of this, Totosai was also keenly aware that just yesterday, Tie Suiya was truly awakened.
"There is a fool who makes things difficult for me. He wants me to build a demon sword that can rival Tie Suiya. Otherwise, he will kill me."
Facing the silent InuYasha, Totosai stated his purpose of coming with a serious face——
"So you have to protect me from his vicious hands... Having mastered the basic secrets of Tie Suiya, you will definitely be able to fight against him!"
InuYasha's expression changed a few times, and he said bitterly: "I didn't..."
"What?"
"I said I didn't master the wind wound!" Inuyasha said through gritted teeth. This bad old man is really annoying. Why can he always step on thunder so accurately and touch other people's wounds just right? His current
The mood is bad enough, okay.
Totosai was slightly stunned: "You haven't mastered the wind injury...then who was using Iron Broken Tooth before?"
"None of your business!"
He replied angrily. InuYasha seemed to think of something again, and asked in annoyance: "Hey, old man, I want to ask you something... did my father die to save me and my mother?"
." His voice became a little deeper as he spoke.
"Ah? You know."
The old man touched the back of his head: "Actually, that's not true. The one who really left the fatal injury to the general was the Dragon Bone Spirit, and the demon sword backfired on him..."
"What, what did you say?! The demon sword backfired on my father?" Inuyasha's eyes widened in shock, and then he subconsciously looked at Teshouya in his arms. The expressions of Higurashi Kagome and others also changed slightly.
"It's not Tie Suiya, it's another demon knife..."
Totosai waved his hand, then looked up at the sky, and then stared at Inuyasha's suspicious look: "You really haven't mastered the wind injury? Did I make a mistake, Inuyasha, you are so weak?"
"The last sentence is unnecessary!" Inuyasha showed an angry smile on his face. If he hadn't been held back by Master Maitreya, he would have rushed up and beat the old man.
Totosai didn't care about Inuyasha's feelings at all, but was extremely disappointed and shook his head and said: "It seems that I really made a mistake, you can't protect me at all... I was careless, I shouldn't have said harsh words to that guy, what the hell?"
If not, he will chase you and kill you Inuyasha."
"Hmph! That's what you deserve - wait, wait! Why did you kill me!"
Ergouzi sneered at first, and then felt something was wrong. Why did this bad old man say harsh words to others, but he was the one who wanted to be killed?
"Here we come." Totozai suddenly looked solemn.
InuYasha's face also changed slightly.
In the darkness before dawn, a figure walked slowly from a distance. It seemed unhurried, but in fact it only took a few steps to reach the front of the fire, reflecting his figure... It was a silver-white figure.
A noble prince with long hair, a moon mark on his forehead, two red demon lines on each cheek, and a white kimono.
He appeared expressionless and taciturn, his eyes swept over everyone coldly, and then he asked in an indifferent tone——
"Totosai, what did you tell Xikian to tell me before?"
"..."
"..."
Shrinking his body and hiding behind Inuyasha, the old man only dared to poke his head out, but his words were still very tough: "Didn't you hear? I'll say it again - I won't help you forge a knife, you
Don't even think about making trouble for me, Inuyasha said that if you dare to come, I will cut off your claws with iron broken teeth!"
"Hey!"
His eyes widened for a moment, Inuyasha looked at the bad old man hiding behind him in disbelief. He suddenly understood why this guy said harsh words and it was himself who was going to be beaten to death.
"Very good, it seems that Inuyasha, you are tired of living too..."
Sesshomaru sneered and looked at his stupid brother with cold eyes.
"And you were talking about Cong Yunya just now, I heard it all, Totouzhai... tell me the whereabouts of Cong Yunya!"
