Seeing this, Kikyo said nothing and just cleaned the yard silently.
Oikawa Xueli glanced at Bumshichi's back, and when he disappeared into the building, she turned around and looked at Kikyo and said:
"You're willing to talk to even your cousin Wenqi, but you won't talk to me?"
"That's so awkward, witch."
Hearing what Oikawa Xueli said, Kikyo raised her head slightly, glanced at Oikawa Xueli, and said lightly:
"I don't like talking to monsters."
"Oh? From your tone..."
Oikawa Xueli was a little surprised to see Kikyo say this:
"Why, do the monsters here dare to provoke you?"
Although they had never fought, it was not that Oikawa Xueli could not see the spiritual power in Kikyo that was so strong that it could make a demon's scalp tingle.
Even big monsters would not dare to provoke someone with such spiritual power. How could Kikyo hate monsters?
Did that idiot ever provoke this evil star?
Kikyo did not answer when she heard this, not because she hated Oikawa Xueli that much, but because she had been exorcising monsters for many years and instinctively felt a little disgusted with monsters.
The reason why I could say a few words was because I heard from Luo Shu that Oikawa Xueli was a monster from another world.
However, Kikyo couldn't be sure whether the monsters from other worlds would covet the Shikon Jade.
Compared to Luo Shu, who is also a human, Kikyo is most wary of Oikawa Xueli.
At this time, seeing that Kikyo didn't want to talk, Iikawa Xueli also had a headache:
"I thought helping to clean up would prove my attitude."
Hearing this, Kikyo nodded and praised slightly:
"You're a good demon."
All the monsters that Kikyo encountered kept shouting "Four Souls Jade, Four Souls Jade" over and over, and it was completely impossible to communicate with them.
In Kikyo's eyes, a monster like Oikawa Xueli, who is not only able to communicate but also willing to help with cleaning, is truly the best monster.
However, hearing these words that sounded like "you are a good person", Oikawa Xueli was embarrassed:
"You are really not cute, little girl."
After all, she, Oikawa Xueli, was a big monster active in the underworld and a senior official of the Nura clan. The number of people and monsters who died under her command was countless.
Being called a good demon by Kikyo made Oikawa Xueli feel a little ashamed.
Just at this moment, Biao Wenqi's voice came over:
"Hey, you mean these two lunch boxes, right?"
Biao Wenqi came over with two bamboo tubes in his hands, looking casual:
"I just opened it and took a look. There were rice balls inside. As for the ones in the pot, I've already eaten them."
"Here!" Biao Wenqi handed the bamboo tube to Jie Geng...
Kikyo paused and glanced at Oikawa Xueli.
"Watch what I do?"
"I need to go out." Kikyo took the bamboo tube and said in a cold tone.
Oikawa Xueli suddenly realized: "I see, then we just wait here, if you have anything to do, you can deal with it first."
Kikyo nodded, picked up the two bamboo tubes, and walked silently towards the stairs.
Wait until the other person goes down the stairs and walks away.
Biao Wenqi wiped his lips, swallowed the rice grains that were stuck on his lips, and then narrowed his eyes and said:
"This witch has someone she keeps outside!"
"No way?" Iikawa Xueli was a little surprised when she heard this: "With her personality, she doesn't seem like a woman who would violate the rules of a miko."
“I am a metaphor.”
Biao Wenqi rolled his eyes, then rubbed his chin and said:
"Just now when I was eating in the kitchen, I found two bamboo tubes. In addition, there was a smell of boiled scald medicine."
"Not only that, I followed the smell and successfully went to the place where the medicinal materials were stored and found the replaced gauze."
"What do you mean?" At this time, Xue Li and Ikawa had already guessed what Biao Wenshi was going to say.
At this time, Biao Wenqi narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully:
"Little sister Kikyo is taking care of a wounded person. Judging from the medicine, the patient's injuries should be burns and sprains. But what's strange is that she didn't choose to arrange for the patient to be cared for in the shrine, but placed him outside... It's a bit suspicious!"
Hearing this, Ikawa Xueli looked at Biao Wenqi in surprise:
"Do you plan to chase after him?"
Biao Wenqi shrugged and said, "Forget it. I don't have the bad taste to dig out other people's secrets."
"Besides, the other party is likely to join the SDS. I dare not provoke these 'Emperor fathers'."
"Heh!" Oikawa Xueli sneered, then turned her head and looked at Kikyo who had disappeared into the forest, her eyes thoughtful.
-
Near Kikyo Shrine, in the forest not far from the village, there is a small cave.
Platycodon came here carrying two bamboo tubes and walked into the cave with an expressionless face.
Finally, in the center of the cave, we saw a figure tied up like a mummy under the light of a torch.
Hearing Kikyo's footsteps, the mummy who was tied up said with trembling lips:
"You came much later than yesterday, Kikyo."
Chapter 180: Such a good woman, why isn’t she my wife?
Hearing the mummy's unpleasant hoarse voice, Kikyo just walked forward calmly, put the bamboo tube on the stone beside, then glanced at the dull gauze on the mummy's body and said:
"It seems that the injury has been controlled."
Seeing that Kikyo didn't pay any attention to him, the mummy trembled and said:
"Haha, thanks to your treatment, I was able to save my life."
"But, by saving me, the famous bandit Onigumo of Musashi Province, aren't you afraid that I will bring bandits to visit your village?"
When Kikyo heard this, her expression did not change at all, she just said calmly:
"It seems that although the disease has been cured, the brain is burned out."
A 'human' who is basically useless, and I don't know if he can stand up, and it is even more impossible for him to hold a knife, still wants to lead the bandits?
Her sister Feng, who is 5 years old, wouldn't fall for this scam.
"You already have the energy to say such things. It seems that you have recovered very well."
As Kikyo spoke, she picked up the bamboo tube next to her, opened the lid, took out the rice ball, threaded it through a straw, and then hung it around the spider demon's neck.
"These are your meals for the next few days, eat them sparingly."
"Huh?" Ghost Spider was startled when he heard that, then laughed, "Are you finally going to let me fend for myself here?"
Kikyo didn't answer, but stood up and prepared to leave.
At this time, Ghost Spider saw that Kikyo seemed to be about to leave, and hurriedly said:
"The barrier you set up here seemed to have been rustling last night. Did something happen?"
Hearing this, Kikyo frowned, and then said seriously:
"Even the barrier I set up is starting to wear out?"
Before, Kikyo didn’t understand why the barrier was like this, but Luo Shu’s arrival made her understand the future of this era.
"Is it destined to be destroyed? This era..."
Kikyo sighed in her heart, then turned her back to Ghost Spider and said:
"I will reinforce the barrier once more. The rice balls and the surrounding ones will be enough to sustain you for three days. After three days, you should be able to move with some effort."
"Find a place to spend your last moments, Ghost Spider."
After saying that, Kikyo took a step forward and prepared to leave.
However, at this moment, Ghost Spider suddenly shouted at her:
"Kikyo, why did you save me!?"
Spider Demon could never understand why Kikyo wanted to save him when he was killed after challenging the thief leader and was not only severely burned but also suffered multiple fractures from falling off a cliff.
Logically speaking, as a citizen of Musashi Province, Kikyo should have heard of the name of Spider Demon, right?
If that's the case, why should we save this evil guy?
Hearing this, Kikyo paused, then said calmly:
"I don't need a reason to save someone, right?"
"Well, if you must give a reason, it's probably because if a 'bad person' like you dies with strong hatred, a powerful ghost will be born at the place where you die?"
"And if I didn't let you die on the spot, you would have died after the period of strongest resentment had passed."
"Are you satisfied with this reason?"
Ghost Spider was stunned when he heard this answer, and then he laughed hoarsely:
"Hahaha, I see. You are worthy of being the legendary purification priestess. You win!!"
Upon hearing this, Kikyo turned her back to Ghost Spider and said:
"Sometimes, quietly waiting for death is not a bad thing."
After saying that, Kikyo walked out of the cave on her own, no longer paying attention to the ghost spider inside.
Just as she said, the reason they saved the bandit Spider Demon was mostly because they were worried that a powerful ghost would be born near Maple Village, putting the villagers in danger.
The remaining small part is Kikyo's personal little thought.
She has been performing the duties of a shrine maiden for many years, and secretly hopes that she can be freed.
For Kikyo, bearing the title of a shrine maiden who saves the great evil man is a rare moment of resistance to duty in her repressed life.
Of course, this was the rebellion of Kikyo in the past.
And now, she seemed to have the possibility of being freed.
Kikyo walked out of the cave and raised his head, looking at the blue sky under the canopy of trees, muttering to himself:
"In another world, start over..."
She murmured to herself, then silently took out a pink gem from her sleeve.
That is the 'Four Souls Jade' that monsters dream of, which can provide huge monster power.
Looking at the jade in his hand, Kikyo murmured to himself:
"Give this to Luo Shu, put aside all responsibilities, and go to another world..."
"Maybe, it really can..."
Kikyo looked at the Four Souls Jade in silence for a long time. Finally, she put away the jade and walked into the forest silently.
Soon after she left, the immobile ghost spiders in the cave finally could no longer hear her footsteps.
"You're leaving just like that? Kikyo!"
Ghost Spider's tone was filled with resentment.
"You pulled me back from hell without my permission, and you made decisions about my affairs without my permission, damn woman, you should take responsibility to the end!!"
The ghost spider gnashed his teeth, looking at the exit of the cave with reluctance and inferiority.
He was originally going to die, but was saved by Kikyo. This was the first time in his life that he received "kindness" from a woman, which made him enjoy it but also extremely unwilling.
Why are there such good women in this world?
