Chapter 38: Page 38

"No way!"

"that is!"

Su Yue and Xi Zhao said respectively.

But they all pout, which is very cute.

"I hope so, Fu Fu, let's go."

Yuzhongjin raised her hand, and the dark fox shadow used her arm as a springboard to leap onto her shoulders and hold the reins. She also waved her hand to say goodbye.

……

After going down the mountain, Yu Zhuanjin tidied up her clothes and then got on the horse with more and more skill. On the way back, she was still thinking about how to tell Yunhe about the reason why Kikyo's spiritual power has not awakened yet. She had to find a better reason...

"…Miko-sama, please stay!"

Just as Yu Zhuanjin was thinking about something, a shouting voice suddenly came from a distance.

Yuzhongjin came to his senses, stopped his horse, turned around and looked over a hundred meters away. He saw a townman with a long bun running towards him, panting.

The hurried footsteps and trembling legs were obviously the signs of exhaustion. Yu Zhuanjin hurriedly dismounted and supported the other person. He was a man who was about thirty years old. His tone was still unclear, and it seemed that he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it because his chaotic breathing forced him to hold it back.

"Don't worry, just calm down."

After that, Yu Zhuanjin cast the spiritual spell "Pure Heart" to restore his physical strength and calm his mind, and then asked: "I wonder why you are so anxious?"

"Mister Miko, please help us!"

Hearing this, the man finally remembered his story, and hurriedly grabbed Yuzhongjin's hand and requested anxiously.

"Tell me about it first."

As for the man's slightly rude behavior, Yu Zhuanjin knew that the more nervous a person is, the more likely he is to lose his sense of proportion, so he used a gentle tone to comfort him.

"Is such that……"

The man described his predicament in confusing words. It turned out that he was a villager living in a village not far from here. However, just yesterday evening, a monster ran into their village. Although they finally drove the monster away with farm tools, many villagers were also injured.

So the villagers asked him, who was the fastest runner, to find a master in a nearby temple. However, the master was busy and not in the temple. He had no choice but to go to a shrine farther away for help, but got the same result.

There was no result in the first place and I didn't know how to explain it when I went back, or what to do. Then I happened to meet Yuzhuanjin, which was like a life-saving straw. I didn't ask for reliability, I just wanted peace of mind.

Hearing this, Yu Zhuanjin couldn't help but look up at the sky. At dusk, when the devil meets, when the yin and yang worlds meet, it is the time when the monsters are most powerful.

In that state, he was repelled by humans, which shows that his demonic power is not outstanding, but...

Dusk is coming again soon.

The monster will not be afraid just because it is repelled by "mere" humans. Dozens of people fighting against one will only encourage its arrogance. Although it will run away because of its weakness, that is only to prepare for subsequent revenge.

The best time for revenge is undoubtedly another evil time, that is, sunset.

"Hurry up and get on the horse! Tell me the rest in detail when we get to the village."

Yuzhuanjin grabbed the man by the collar and pulled him onto the white horse, then said, "Tell me the direction."

"Then, over there..."

The man raised his hand and pointed shakily toward the north.

Yu Zhuanjin pulled the reins, and the white horse neighed and ran away.

The man subconsciously wanted to hold on to Yu Zhuanjin tightly to prevent himself from being thrown off by the bumpy ride.

"roar~"

At this moment, Fu Fu poked his head out and let out a warning growl, he would not allow anyone to desecrate Yuzhongjin.

So, the man immediately put down his outstretched hands and pressed them on both sides of the horse's back. He was obviously frightened by Fu Fu's fierce expression and didn't know what to do. His red eyes...

Hearing the sound, Yu Zhuanjin couldn't help but glance over, and the black young fox immediately returned to its original cute appearance and called out: "Ah Wu Ah Wu~?"

……

Not long after, Yuzhongjin quickly arrived at the village the man pointed out, and noticed that more than half of the newly reclaimed farmland near the village had been destroyed. It was simply too much. Such rude behavior could only be done by a monster. Judging from the traces at the scene, the monster was not big in size, but very flexible.

At the same time, hearing the neighing of horses, many villagers came out of the village, led by an old man with a cane.

"Village Chief! I've brought the miko back!"

The man sitting behind Yuzhongjin jumped off his horse and shouted as he ran towards the old man.

"Jiro, is Master Fengtani here?" the village chief asked the man named Jiro.

In fact, there was no need to ask, because when the old man looked up, he saw only Yuzhuanjin's figure in front of the village entrance. For a moment, a hint of worry flashed in his eyes. After all, the latter looked too young, and anyone would feel uneasy.

"Sorry, the master is not in the temple."

After saying that, Jiro bowed his head deeply.

"I am the shrine maiden of the Hikawa Shrine. I heard that there is a demon disaster happening here..."

In order to avoid trouble, Miozu decided that it would be safer to visit in the name of Hikawa Shrine.

Like gods, like believers. Compared to the Inari Shrine, which enshrines the god in charge of harvest and grain, Susanoo, the main god who serves as the god of the sea and the god of destruction, is obviously more reliable in combat than Uga-no-Mikoto, and this inherent impression will also be inherited by the shrine.

In the eyes of most people, Hikawa Shrine represents the militant faction of Shintoism, while Inari Shrine generally focuses on blessing and protection. Of course, this is just a simple impression. In fact, the fighting power of Inari Shrine may be stronger than that of Hikawa Shrine, because it has more branches.

"…The miko of Hikawa Shrine? Great!"

Upon hearing the name, the surrounding villagers immediately began to cheer. As the chief priest of Musashi Province, his name was extremely famous, and there were almost no weak priests who came from this place.

You can’t enter the Hikawa Shrine if your qualifications are too poor.

"Can you explain to me the current situation?"

Yuzhongjin quickly waved her hands, signaling the villagers to put aside the compliments. Although being respected was a good thing, she felt that the top priority was not such trivial matters.

……

Today's normal update (2/2).

Volume 55 Inuyasha (Part ): Chapter Chapter "The Witch"

"I want to know the information about that monster."

Yuzhongjin said in a serious and solemn tone.

Hearing this, the village chief raised his hand, and the villagers gathered at the entrance of the village immediately stood on both sides, leaving a path, and said: "That monster was very cunning. We tried many ways, but in the end we still let it run away."

"Cunning..."

Monsters generally have low IQs, but that doesn't mean they are all idiots. Snakes will wait for opportunities in the grass, and eagles will look down at their prey in the sky. This is instinct. The vast majority of monsters are not born monsters. Because of this, there are many branches of monsters.

The most common case is that wild beasts and insects become monsters. Even if they have self-awareness, they will retain their nature. It is precisely because of this nature that the troubles they bring are extraordinary.

Afterwards, Yu Zhuanjin looked around. There was still some evil aura in the village, and it didn't show any sign of dissipating for a long time. He thought there was still some evil spirit left in the village.

"Miko-sama, please follow me."

Lowering his head slightly, the village chief suddenly remembered an important matter, so he hurriedly signaled Yuzhong Jin to follow him to a place. The latter nodded slightly, handed the reins to the man who brought him here, asked him to help take care of the white horse, and then quickly followed.

Until they passed by a house, Yuzhongjin noticed a girl about the same age as Kikyo leaning against the window, staring at her.

After noticing that he had been discovered by Yuzhong Jin, he quickly squatted down and hid himself.

"It's right here, Miko-sama."

Just when Yuzhongjin was feeling strange, the village chief suddenly spoke and diverted her attention back.

It was an old thatched hut, with an unusual evil aura lingering like smoke. Just by standing in front of the door, one could feel a great pressure, and bursts of cries of pain could be heard from time to time.

When the door was opened, seven or eight villagers wrapped in bandages were seen placed inside. Their arms, chests and other parts were covered with dark purple poison spots.

It is a demonic poison, a highly toxic substance with the corrosive effect of demonic energy. Ordinary medicinal herbs will not have any effect on it because medicinal herbs, as mortal objects, have no effect on demonic energy.

If you want to heal, you need magic power, spiritual power, or other methods that can resist the demonic power to be effective.

for example……

——Eliminate!

Walking to the side of a patient, Yu Zhuanjin squatted down and placed a hand on the patient's arm and cast a spell. With the bright white light, the poison spots faded away on a large scale.

Until it disappears completely.

The villagers, who were still suffering from pain, fell into a peaceful sleep. Yuzhongjin hurried to the second patient and dispersed the poison spots in the same way.

The villagers who were watching outside the house were suddenly very excited. This problem had been bothering them for a long time, and now it was finally solved. So they all breathed a sigh of relief and were convinced that Yu Zhuanjin had some ability to solve the demon disaster in their village.

“…Taro!”

A woman couldn't help but run into the house. The village chief wanted to stop her but failed. She ran to the villager who was first rescued by Yuzhong Jin and shouted.

"Please keep quiet. They are not in a good mental state and need to rest for a while."

Yu Zhuanjin understood this excitement, but he still asked the village chief to ask two villagers to drag the woman out.

After several consecutive "eliminations", Yu Zhuanjin's divine power suddenly decreased a lot. Fortunately, there were not many villagers who were entangled by the evil poison, otherwise she really didn't know what to do.

"Whoo~"

Afterwards, Yuzhongjin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miko-sama, thank you so much."

Seeing this, the village chief hurried forward.

“This is what I should do.”

Standing up, Yuzhongjin continued, "However, the matter has not been completely resolved. Monsters always hold grudges, and they may attack at night today, so the most urgent task is to exterminate the monster that is causing trouble. May I ask the village chief, do you have any information that I can refer to?"

"...What? Will that monster come again?" The villagers gathered around and started talking among themselves, falling into panic. Although they had repelled the monster once, it was precisely because of this that they knew how terrifying the monster was that had injured many people in the village and finally evacuated for unknown reasons, perhaps because of their large numbers.

"Monster..."

Hearing this, the village chief showed a conflicted expression.

Obviously, I have, but I am hesitant about whether to say it.

"Village Chief! That monster was indeed summoned by that evil creature!"

A villager outside the door suddenly shouted.

"Yes, yes, it must be that witch. I felt something was wrong with her a long time ago!"

Another villager echoed loudly.

"That monster is obviously after her, village chief! Stop shielding her!"

"...That's right!"

The scene was chaotic, and everyone seemed to be condemning. Yuzhongjin was confused about the current situation, so he looked at the village chief and asked him, "Village chief, what exactly happened in the village?"

"This……"

The village chief found it difficult to speak.

“…Ah! Let me go!”

Suddenly, there was a shouting sound outside the door.

I saw a burly villager grabbing a girl's hair and then throwing her into the house. The girl fell straight to the ground, then quickly curled up her body and held her head with her hands, fearing that she would be kicked by others again.

"What are you doing?!"

Seeing this, Yu Zhuanjin's eyes became heavy. She would never allow such a terrible thing to happen in front of her.

So I quickly came to the girl's side and checked her body. Although there were some bruises, they were not serious. She was just hit by a stone or something similar...

unacceptable!

After a closer look, Yu Zhuanjin immediately recognized that this girl was the little girl who had been staring at her on the road just now.

"Girl? Didn't I tell you to stay in the house and not come out?"

The village chief also staggered over. It was obvious that the problem now lay with this girl.

"Tell me, what's going on?!"

Yu Zhuanjin stood up and questioned, her eyes solemn, and used her spiritual power to create a breeze that blew around as a deterrent, hoping that the people present could give her a reasonable explanation.
