It's just that her pace was a little slower than usual, but this was something that outsiders couldn't see.
Luo Shu quietly watched Kikyo go away until she entered the fenced village. He then retracted his gaze and squinted his eyes and said:
"Even Kikyo has appeared, so let's tentatively judge that this place is the Warring States Period."
"During the Warring States Period, when monsters were rampant on the island nation..."
Luo Shu's expression became a little more serious:
"Just in case, let's wait for Chizuka and Takina at Kikyo's shrine and investigate the information here first."
After Luo Shu turned and headed towards the shrine, Kikyo, who had already entered the village, turned around and looked towards the hillside:
"Didn't you catch up?"
Although she emphasized that people were not allowed to enter the village, she also deliberately slowed down her pace. As long as they knew the risks of being alone outside, normal civilians would ask her, a famous witch, for protection.
But the strange monk chose to go to the shrine without saying a word.
"What a strange person..."
Kikyo shook her head and walked towards her home in the village.
Are all the monsters in this place so rampant?
Maple Village.
It is a small village located in the mountains of Musashi Province. If it weren't for the famous shrine maiden Kikyo, no one would have paid attention to this poor little place.
However, it was also because of the priestess Kikyo that this village was able to survive tenaciously during the cruel Warring States Period.
At this time, it was noon, the farming season was slack, and the villagers who were resting in the fields found the returning Platycodon and were immediately surprised and said:
"Ah, it's Kikyo-sama."
"Has Lord Kikyo finished his morning lessons today?"
"Master Kikyo, my waist has been hurting a lot today. Is my waist disease recurring?"
"Lord Kikyo..."
Kikyo greeted the villagers calmly, and even helped solve some minor problems that could be solved with herbs. Then she walked along the dirt road back to her home at the highest point of the village.
Pushing open the creaking wooden door, Kikyo immediately saw her barefoot sister Kaede sitting next to the Fire Seat.
The so-called fire seat is a square area deliberately dug out in the center of the house by the people of the island, covered with ashes, and then placed with firewood and charcoal to make a fire for cooking and heating.
Therefore it is also called ground stove.
At this time, Feng was lying beside the fire seat where the pot was placed, staring at the firewood and stirring the herbs in the pot from time to time.
Seeing her sister, Kikyo's mouth curled up slightly:
"I'm back, Feng."
"Sister! You're back!"
Feng, with dust on his face, immediately got up from the ground, then trotted over to Kikyo and said as if to take credit:
"Look, Feng finally learned how to make medicine for injuries today."
"Let me see." Kikyo patted Feng's back, walked to the Fire Seat, put down the wolf skin, and then stirred the herbs in the pot, looked at the color, and smelled the smell:
"Hmm... the quality is indeed good. If any villagers get hurt later, you can try a small amount."
Having said this, Kikyo smiled at Feng and said:
"You did a great job, Feng."
"As a reward, how about I sew you a mattress in a few days?"
"Mattress?"
Feng then noticed the wolf skin Kikyo brought back. His pupils shrank slightly, and then he said nervously:
"Did my sister encounter a monster again?"
The smile on Kikyo's face froze slightly, but she still nodded:
"Met."
"Ever since my sister took over the Four Souls Jade, she has been encountering monsters every day..."
Listening to Feng's words, Kikyo suddenly changed the subject and told Feng:
"Feng, there are a lot of monsters recently, so you'd better not leave the house. If you need to go out for something, tear off the hair that your sister left for you, and your sister will go with you."
"Oh..." When Feng heard her sister start to give instructions again and asked her to go out with her, she suddenly had no time to think about the fact that Kikyo was attacked by a monster again.
But when it comes to monsters, Feng suddenly remembered something and explained:
"Sister, the village chief said earlier that the Daimyo of Musashi sent you a letter, saying that he hopes you will go to guard the Daimyo's mansion. He said that more and more people have been attacked by monsters recently, and the Daimyo hopes you will go to the Daimyo's mansion to help..."
"Big name..." Kikyo felt guilty when she heard this title.
As the daimyo is the master of the region, Maple Village is naturally under his jurisdiction. If this is really the daimyo's wish, Kikyo would find it difficult to refuse.
But in the current environment, she would feel uneasy once she left Maple Village.
Thinking of this, Kikyo hesitated for a moment, but still said:
"I'll talk to the village chief about this later, Feng, just don't worry about it."
"Oh." Feng nodded obediently and said nothing more.
And Kikyo also felt strange at this time:
The daimyo has sent five letters in the past month, almost one every few days. Has the main city really encountered so many monsters?
But what's strange is that the Four Souls Jade, the thing that attracts monsters, is clearly here, but why did the accident happen in the main city?
“It always feels a little strange.”
While Kikyo was puzzled, her expression suddenly changed, and she turned her head and looked in the direction of the shrine:
"There's a demon?! Not good!!"
-
"Four Souls Jade... Human Flesh..."
The giant wolf, whose body was as big as an elephant, stared at the red torii in front of it, and looked at Luo Shu who was standing behind the torii with greed and desire.
At this time, Luo Shu, who had just entered the Torii Gate and was blocked by the monster, also had a strange look on his face:
"It's been less than 20 minutes since we landed, and we've been attacked by monsters twice in a row. Are all monsters in the Warring States period so rampant?"
Originally, Luo Shu wanted to stay at the Kikyo Shrine and wait to meet up with Nishiki Chitsuka and Inoue Takina, but when he entered the torii, he encountered a monster blocking the door. It was really unlucky.
Luo Shu now doubted whether he had some physical condition that attracted monsters.
"Hey, youkai, judging from your appearance, you must be a member of the family of that wolf just now, right?"
Hearing this, the gray wolf, as huge as an elephant, narrowed its eyes slightly, obviously showing its wisdom.
He looked down at Luo Shu, glanced at him coldly, then looked up at the torii.
Looking at the barrier set up by Kikyo on the torii, Gray Wolf's eyes were somewhat fearful.
But thinking that the wolf cub he sent out should be able to stop Kikyo for a while, and that the Four Souls Jade that can make him stronger is in the shrine, the gray wolf's eyes suddenly focused.
0?炷?炷Please ask for flowers?Sand炷?炷?炷
"First, get the Four Souls Jade to become stronger, and then kill that annoying Kikyo."
Thinking of this, the gray wolf raised its huge claws.
"Don't you understand what I'm saying..."
Luo Shu raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, then sighed helplessly.
He raised his head, and the huge and strong body of the gray wolf was reflected in his black pupils.
——Bestowed by misfortune!
The next moment, a flash of lightning appeared under the clear sky.
Lightning suddenly fell from the sky and engulfed the gray wolf as big as an elephant.
A few seconds later, a loud thunder sounded.
Looking at the gray wolf that was charred all over and emitting black gas and a burnt smell, Luo Shu said with a little surprise:
"Is your luck so bad? You were struck by lightning right after that."
The disaster brought by the disaster messenger will be a natural disaster if Luo Shu does not specify the "disaster material library" stored in it.
. 0 0
At the moment, it seems that the gray wolf is quite unlucky. It encountered a disaster of being struck by lightning and was severely injured.
Luo Shu looked at the twitching gray wolf, touched his chin and said:
"Well, judging from the situation, it should be electric numbness..."
"Well, it's a good opportunity to restart the intelligence investigation that was just blocked by Kikyo..."
As he spoke, Luo Shu stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and touched the gray wolf's charcoal-like nose.
The next moment, the charred gray wolf instantly returned to its original state.
The gray wolf, who had fallen to the ground and drooled all over the floor, suddenly woke up. He looked at Luo Shu, who was so close to him, in astonishment and roared in anger:
"Human, I'm going to eat you!!"
Luo Shu's face turned cold when he heard this, and then he smiled:
"Give!"
The next moment, the temperature dropped suddenly. In just a moment, the gray wolf's body was covered with frost, and he was frozen stiff and trembling.
After waiting for four or five seconds, Luo Shu touched the gray wolf again: "Absorb the disaster."
"Human, you..."
Seeing this, the gray wolf couldn't help but roar.
"Hmm?" Luo Shu hummed a tone.
Suddenly, the gray wolf dared not make a sound.
At this moment, looking at the gray wolf that had finally calmed down, Luo Shu smiled:
"It seems that we can finally have a good 'communication'."
Next, Luo Shu began to interrogate Gray Wolf with a smile on his face.
After a while, Kikyo, who was so exhausted that even her wooden clogs were lost, finally arrived at the shrine.
On the spot, I saw a huge gray wolf as big as an elephant, lying on the ground wailing and crying like an eight-year-old child:
"That's all I know. Kill me, I beg you to kill me!!"
"Stop bullying me!"
Chapter 144 Kikyo's "Invitation"
In front of the torii gate of Kikyo Shrine.
Luo Shu sat on the metal box, holding a notebook and a gel pen in his hands. He raised his head and said to the crying Gray Wolf lying on the ground:
"Is that all you know?"
"That's all. That's all."
When the gray wolf saw Luo Shu raise his head, he couldn't help but shiver.
Every time he was about to run away, Luo Shu would look up at him.
Then he was suddenly struck by lightning, burned by fire, blown by wind, and frozen. Occasionally the ground shook, and sometimes he was swept away by a tornado.
?After suffering so much damage in succession, if Luo Shu had not been able to absorb the injuries from his body every time he touched him, the Gray Wolf would have collapsed long ago.
But even if the body holds up, the spirit cannot withstand such a great blow.
Now the Gray Wolf just wants to have a quick death. He doesn’t want to be tortured by Luo Shu like this anymore.
