Inuyasha's journey to immortality

Chapter 20 On the importance of goodwill! Take the initiative! (Please collect it, please vote!)
  After Li Xia arrived at Higurashi Shrine, he walked openly to the two-story building where Ali's family lived.

At this time, the night was already very late.

But A Li still went downstairs boldly.

"Hello, Higurashi-san..."

In the darkness of the courtyard, Li Xia's slightly hoarse voice sounded.

After sensing the four soul fragments, the girl quickly dressed and went downstairs to investigate the situation.

"you are?"

"My name is Li Xia. Not long ago, your house caught fire, and your grandfather was trapped at the fire scene. It was I who braved the fire to rescue the old man from the burning warehouse, and called the fire department and the hospital ambulance! I wonder if Higurashi-san can escape from the fire. Did your aunt hear about this?"

Li Xia said with a smile.

As he spoke, he walked out of the darkness.

At this moment, he had changed his clothes into a comfortable sweatshirt, with a relatively lightweight bulletproof vest underneath, and a huge backpack on his back. In addition, his right hand is holding an ordinary brand of mobility bicycle.

"Ah, is it you? Thank you for your help earlier."

A Li saluted.

He still has a good impression of the young man who his mother said rescued his grandfather from the fire.

Wait, the opponent holds seven four-soul fragments in his hand, and six of them were stolen from his room at that time, right?
  "Higurashi-san, actually, I'm still your classmate! I came to the shrine that day for another reason; I just encountered a fire in your warehouse. What's even more troublesome is that an unsealed monster appeared in the fire!"

At this point, Li Xia paused, giving the girl enough time to digest the information.

At the same time, it is also paving the way for subsequent rhetoric.

"Classmate? But why don't I have any impression?"

As she was speaking, the girl suddenly thought of something, and her eyes widened in surprise:

"Wait a minute, are you the international student who took a few days of classes and then took a leave of absence?"

Hearing this, Li Xia admitted openly:
  "it's me!"

"Wait a minute, you just said that there are monsters in the fire? Isn't that right? How can there be monsters in this world?"

A Li started fighting haha.

Trying to hide this weird thing.

"Higurashi-san, I am actually just like you, a member of a family of practitioners similar to traditional shrines! Over there on the peninsula, my family also takes slaying demons as its mission! Therefore, there is no need for you to deny it in front of me. When the monster said..."

"Hey... um, can you invite me in for a cup of hot water? This season is in the late spring cold phase. It's still quite cold outside at this late hour!"

Li Xia kept smiling politely.

After all, it is inappropriate to not invite guests into your home for a cup of hot tea when guests arrive. What's more, he was his grandfather's savior, so it was even more inappropriate to keep people away.

A Li was reminded and immediately realized this, and quickly apologized:

"I'm sorry, please come inside..."

The movement here finally disturbed Mr. Higurashi and the girl's mother, who were already sleeping lightly.

As soon as the two sat down in the living room, and Li Xia took a cup of steaming tea from the girl opposite, a beautiful woman got dressed and came down from the second floor and entered the hall on the first floor.

"Auntie, we meet again."

Seeing A Li's mother, Li Xia immediately stood up and said hello.

"It's you!"

It was only seven or eight days apart. Naturally, A Li's mother had not forgotten the face that saved their old man from the fire a few days ago.

So when I saw the young man at that time, the surprise and gratitude in my eyes were undisguised.

The girl on the side looked at this scene and was no longer as vigilant as before.

After that, the atmosphere suddenly became very harmonious.

And the time that was supposed to be spent alone between the two of them turned into a "one-on-three" meeting.

"Xia Jun, why are you here?"

A Li's mother was all smiles.

Li Xia fell into deep thought while blowing on the steaming tea cup. After a while, he asked:
  "Higurashi-san, you must be a miko, right?"

The three members of the Higurashi family looked at each other.

As the successor of Higurashi Shrine.

Grandpa is a palace minister, so she is indeed a witch:
  "Yes, what's wrong?"

After A Li nodded, Li Xia took out an alloy box from his pocket and placed it on the table. He took off the soul-sealing talisman on it and opened the lid of the box, revealing seven four-soul fragments that glowed slightly purple inside:
  "This object is called the Four Soul Fragments. It is a treasure that has been circulated in the spiritual world for a long time. It is recorded in my family's classics! I don't know where the Higurashi family got so many jade fragments, but this object is giving... While it brings power to the holder, it will also bring suffering and misfortune to the holder!"

"As a practitioner, I rushed to Higure's house before because I heard that Higure-san is not in good health! After all, it's either gout or a broken waist. I haven't been to school for a long time. I always ask for leave or something..."

These words made the girl have black lines all over her forehead. The eyes he looked at his grandfather were filled with sadness.

"And I happen to have mastered some magic techniques! So I was thinking if I could help out a little bit in this regard..."

There was concern for the classmates in his words.

In this way, I gained a lot of goodwill from the old, middle-aged and small family of three.

While speaking, he also took out two low-level talismans and showed them briefly before continuing.

"Originally, I thought it was just a simple meeting with classmates; but when I arrived, I found that the warehouse was on fire! Just as I was thinking about saving the old man in the fire, I noticed a masked monster jumping out of the fire, clamoring to give it a body, Give it a body!"

As soon as Li Xia said these words, Mr. Higurashi's face was full of solemnity:

"and then?"

Some bad memories made him sweat faintly on his forehead.

"Then…"

Li Xia took out the big osmanthus mask and put it on his face:

"Give me a body, give me a body!"

The lifelike appearance did not make the girl and the beautiful woman feel the slightest discomfort.

But the old man was shocked. He picked up a handful of talismans and threw them at this direction.

Taking over the imperfectly drawn talisman papers, a strange color flashed in Li Xia's eyes.

It turns out that the talisman paper that A Li's grandfather threw at him was a real talisman. However, because the makers were not skilled in cultivation and the materials used to draw the talismans were of the lowest quality, these talismans were only semi-finished products and of inferior quality. The power contained within it is pitiful, and its external performance is even more mediocre.

If not, these talismans would have shined brightly.

Thinking of the Higurashi family's hidden inheritance of Talisman, can Li Xia feel at peace?
  "Father, Mr. Xia is joking with you..."

The beautiful woman smiled slightly.

It can be seen that this aunt, who has never experienced monster attacks and has lived in peace and stability her whole life, has no fear of monsters.

Li Xia also stopped joking and became serious.

He did this deliberately, not just for entertainment, but to awaken the old man's powerlessness and fear when facing the monster, and in turn make A Li realize how difficult it was to save his life.

really.

A girl who had experienced the Warring States Period opposite the Bone-eating Well, caught in her grandfather's eyes the similar look in the eyes of ordinary villagers when they faced monsters during the Warring States Period, that was fear.

Therefore, at this moment, the gratitude towards the young classmate in front of him for saving his grandfather quietly increased by three points.

Li Xia, here, continues to talk:
  "After I subdued the masked monster, I also found a few fragments of the legendary four souls on the mask itself! These are the pieces!"

steal?

nonexistent!

We are the trophies obtained from the human face in the flesh!
  And this statement made Ali feel even more scared!
  And with the old man’s emergency response as evidence, there is no doubt about the fact!
  "How could this be?"

The girl was shocked inside.

She brought the four soul fragments to the modern world and placed them at home, but she almost caused her grandfather to be killed. If the young classmate in front of her hadn't taken action in time, her grandfather would have been killed by her, and her mother and younger brother Souta would have been harmed as well.

When she thought of this, her heart was filled with guilt for her family.

Li Xia secretly observed the changes in A Li's expression, and when he saw the girl's complicated expression, he suddenly said to himself: Calm down.

He seized the initiative!
  Not only did he not have to hand over the four soul fragments in his hand, but he also had another guarantee to go to the opposite side of the Bone-eating Well.

Speaking of which, winning the favor of the honest people in this family and getting a good first impression on them was also a choice that I made after thinking for a long time.

Firstly, he is now just a mage with average fighting ability. It is still too dangerous to wander alone in the world of monsters across the well. Both of them, he is not 100% sure that he can use the power of the four soul fragments to travel through the well on his own. He is not afraid of ten thousand, just afraid of the worst.

But if the little girl in front of you cooperates, you can definitely travel.

Because A Li brought modern items there more than once!
  In the original work, he even returns to modern times with "dry information" that can be revived when exposed to water!
  In other words, as long as he holds the girl's little hand tightly as she passes through the Well of Bone Eaters, he can theoretically follow her there! The four soul fragments plus the girl in front of him are double insurance!
  If you can't travel through the Bone-Eating Well, then it's really unreasonable.

In return, he would, within a reasonable range, find ways to help A Li lift his Quling seal in advance and improve the witch's strength.

...

the other side.

The Smith Family.

A bunch of senior executives are furious.

"What? The plane crashed? That special plane had an air crash?"

"Who can tell me what's going on?"

"The fragment of the Four Souls Jewel just caught my eye and flew away like that?"
