"Okay, Master Kikyo."
Linfus, the wind fairy, blew gently.
Then, a continuous breeze appeared behind Kikyo.
With its propulsion, Platycodon can jump four or five meters even with a light leap, and suddenly it feels like it is flying.
But unfortunately, this wind fairy did not give Nanxing the same spell.
Did she forget?
No, she did it on purpose.
A goblin is a goblin after all, a goblin who likes to play pranks.
Being naughty is a character they will never change.
But when "naughty" and "steady" meet, it becomes "sinister".
"You've narrowed your path, you little fairy who plays with the wind."
Nanxing smiled.
There was a happy smile on his face.
"Are you going to compete in speed?"
It’s probably a pity that I can’t be alone with Kikyo for a long time and enjoy this trip.
But if it was a competition to see who had faster legs, he wouldn't refuse.
"Even though you are a woman, a competition is a competition, and I won't let you."
Nanxing said proudly.
In just a few minutes, he caught up with Kikyo and successfully overtook her.
——The mountainous and forested terrain of Musashi Province is simply perfect for the profession of ninja.
Kikyo was a little speechless.
"childish."
"Who wants to compete with you!"
She curled her lips and couldn't help but say.
But I don’t know why.
Her pace suddenly quickened a lot.
In the very end, in order to surpass Nanxing, she even used the item [Shikigami: Asuka] which she would never use once in her life.
what,
This damn desire to win!
……
Platycodon flies very fast.
But in the end, she still couldn't surpass Nanxing.
The immortal's chakra has the effect of flying, and its efficiency is far beyond the reach of a flying bird made of paper.
Not to mention, when they were on the road, Nanxing would deliberately disrupt Kikyo's rhythm.
For example, throwing a small stone or something.
This method is very naive.
But it is really effective.
At least, Kikyo, who never gets angry, broke down in a rare moment.
——She had a dark face and said nothing, just looking at Nanxing as if she was looking at a target.
"々｀ I was wrong!"
Nanxing realized that he seemed to have gone too far and apologized in time.
But there is no regret.
As the saying goes, mistakes are mistakes, but they cannot be changed.
Making your girlfriend angry first, and then finding ways to appease her, is probably a kind of fun in life.
Moreover, especially for a cold and stuffy woman like Kikyo, it is a (good) little trick that must be learned.
——Otherwise, how boring will the days ahead be?
……
night.
Because they tried their best to hurry on their way, Nanxing and Kikyo only took half a day to reach the demon hunter village.
The village chief was very enthusiastic.
After confirming Kikyo's identity, he immediately handed the Four Souls Jade to Kikyo.
But unfortunately, it is impossible to make a wish to Platycodon right now.
"There's still a lot of resentment from the monsters left here."
"We still need to purify these evil spirits."
Kikyo explained.
It sounds reasonable Joe.
But Nanxing didn't know that this was not the real reason why Kikyo couldn't make a wish to her.
The real reason is:
"I see."
"As a [Jade Guardian Priestess], I am not qualified to make a wish to the jade."
"So... I have to find someone who can make the right wish for Jade?"
Chapter 155: Gravedigger of the Times
That night.
After obtaining the Four Souls Jade, Kikyo did not stay in the demon hunter village.
But she was in no hurry to go back.
Because she wanted to purify the Four Souls Jade and remove the resentment within it.
This is a somewhat difficult process. Even though Kikyo is a priestess with extraordinary spiritual powers, it will take about seven days to completely purify the evil spirit from the jade.
Therefore, after leaving the demon hunter village, Kikyo directly found a deserted place and began to fulfill her mission.
Nanxing is responsible for "protecting" her.
"Ah, this is the Four Souls Jade."
Before the Dharma protection began, Nanxing also looked at the Four Souls Jade.
how to say.
He could feel the power contained in the jade.
According to his estimation, the spiritual power contained in this jade should be enough for a pair of one-magatama Sharingan to evolve directly into the Mangekyō Sharingan.
But at the same time, the resentment contained in the Four Souls Jade is enough to drive the person who receives this spiritual power completely crazy.
"No wonder this jade has attracted so many monsters to scramble for it."
"But the real big monster sneered at this jade."
A true big monster, even if it is just a big 403 monster like the Hidden God Gyobu Rinko who hides on Shikoku Island and dares not come out, also has its own fears.
Or in other words, it is fear.
The increase in power that this jade can bring to them is minimal.
But the evil thoughts contained therein will pollute their fear.
This is a deal that is not worth the loss, so the real big monsters don't even look down on this Four Souls Jade.
As for those other ordinary monsters...their thoughts are much simpler.
"No matter whether it's cost-effective or not, I'll become a big monster first."
Even if it is a big monster filled with water, it is still a big monster.
Possess the ability to stand on one's own.
As for Nanxing’s opinion on this jade?
"Oh, beautiful miko-san."
"Now that you have found a gem that can fulfill all wishes, do you have any wishes that you would like to fulfill?"
"Tell me the story. Even if it's the moon in the sky, I can pick it down for you."
"Or do you actually like me but don't know how to tell me?"
"It's okay, I can help you find a solution."
"..."
This really wasn't Kikyo's deliberate attempt to make things awkward.
But she really didn't know what to say to express her desire to beat someone up.
"Let's eat first."
This was Kikyo's final compromise.
……
Dinner was simple.
Boil the Bingliang balls in hot water and they become a slightly salty soup paste.
Add a few wild fruits and you'll be full.
"please."
Kikyo nodded to Nanxing and walked into the wooden house that Nanxing had built in advance.
——This is an absolutely safe wooden house.
Because on the outside of the wooden house, Nanxing even used earth escape to reinforce it.
In addition, Kikyo also used talisman paper to draw a defensive barrier around the house.
Plus there is Nanxing’s protector.
With such luxurious layout, it is no exaggeration to say that even if the gods from Takama-ga-hara came to snatch this precious jade, they would probably return empty-handed.
Not to mention those demons who have no intelligence at all and only act on instinct.
“It feels a bit like a fish fry.”
This is the third wave of attack that Nanxing has resisted.
But those demons in the sky were still rushing towards this side madly, as if they were endless.
"If this trend continues... in seven days, most of the low-level monsters on this island will be wiped out, right?"
Nanxing thought silently in his heart.
He suddenly understood what Kikyo's true mission was.
"The Jade of Purifying Four Souls?"
No, it is not.
Instead, he used the Four Soul Jade as bait to attract all the low-level monsters and then destroyed them in one fell swoop.
"From now on, the era of monsters will gradually decline."
"The age of humanity begins to rise."
