Inuyasha's journey to immortality

Chapter 87 The Current Situation of Mother and Daughter
  Five or six miles west of Maple Village is a village called Flower Village.

This is where Zijin and Zi Zhi mother and daughter were placed.

This is just a small village with a population of 100 people. Although there is no fixed witch or wizard in the village, the villagers live in peace because they are often taken care of by Granny Feng.

In fact, there are several villages within a ten-mile radius centered around the Bone-Eating Well and the forest where the Bone-Eating Well is located.

Maple Village is just the one closest to the Bone-Eating Well.

It can even be said that the Well of Bone Eaters was Maple Village's former dedicated monster corpse recycling center.

It is specially used to deal with the remains of monsters.

When Platycodon was still around, the many monsters she killed would be packed up and thrown into the well by the people in the village. The monster skeletons thrown into the Bone Well will spontaneously disappear every once in a while.

For this reason, this well has been called the "Bone-eating Well" from a long time ago.

It is worth mentioning that when General Inu died more than 200 years ago, Totosai, Mingka and other retainers had heard of the existence of this special well and were aware of some of its characteristics. Then after summing up, they decided to throw the most difficult and domineering demon sword [Cong Yunya] into the well.

No one knew the principle of this well. It was not until A Li appeared that they knew that this well led to another world.

Speaking of which, the Ali family and Ali's ancestors were often tricked by the villagers here during the Warring States Period.

On the one hand, A Li is brought to the Warring States Period by the dead but not stiff centipede witch. On the other hand, Higurashi Shrine was built to deal with the remains of various monsters that kept crossing space from this well to the bone-eating well on the opposite side of the modern world. This phenomenon quickly disappeared until Platycodon was reincarnated with the Four Souls Jade.

Without Ah Li accompanying him, Li Xia could feel that even if he carried the four soul fragments, he would not be able to travel between the two bone-eating wells alone.

But if he puts on the Godly Tree Mask, the well will be completely open to him.

A very magical experience.

Wearing the Mask of the Godly Tree, he jumped down from the Bone-Eating Well, and the surroundings immediately burst into brilliant light. In just a blink of an eye, Li Xia entered a passage space full of blue stars and blue curtains.

This is the place where most of the skeletons of monsters who have lost their monster power lie dormant.

Once upon a time, the skeleton of the Hundred-footed Witch lay dormant here; later, when A-Li came to the well, the Jade of Four Souls sleeping in his body stimulated the skeleton of the Hundred-footed Witch that still had demonic power to awaken, triggering a series of subsequent events.

Of course, the centipede temptress is just a special case.

Although this old witch only had two stars of demonic power, she was extremely special; even Platycodon couldn't kill her completely, and there was always some demonic power left in her bones that even the witch's spiritual power couldn't purify. He has a mysterious and fanatical pursuit of the Four Souls Jade.

Even if Inuyasha and Ali kill her again, within ten or twenty years, in the plot of Yashahime, this old woman will be resurrected again and again.

The other monster skeletons thrown into the Bone Well were different.

They really all disappeared.

Where exactly did the corpses of those monsters go? It has become an unsolved mystery.

It is precisely because of this that A Li can travel back and forth from this well with the four soul fragments without any scruples.

After Li Xia followed the space passage of the Bone-eating Well and returned here from the modern world, he did not rush to the Maple Village to meet his friends, but went to the Flower Village first.

"Zi Zhi, how are you and aunt doing here?"

On the outskirts of the Flower Village near the Bone-Eating Well, a new cabin was built, which is where Zijin and Zi Zhi mother and daughter now stay. In the house, Li Xia and her mother and daughter were sitting around a fire.

"The uncles and aunties here are all very nice, and not many people laugh at my status as a half-demon."

Zi Zhi said with a smile.

When Li Xia thought about it, he realized that this was the work of Inuyasha and Granny Kaede.

Because Inuyasha was sealed on the sacred tree next to the Bone-eating Well, it was known to several surrounding villages. As for the deeds of Inuyasha, the half-demon, the older generation figures in several villages knew something about it. They don't have any ill intentions towards InuYasha. Under the guidance of the older generation, many young people in the village naturally don't have much ill will towards the half-demon Ziori brought by InuYasha.

In addition, Granny Feng came here from time to time to comfort her, and it was natural for everyone to gradually accept the mother and daughter.

"I'm relieved that you guys are doing well..."

Li Xia smiled and took out some snacks, bacon, and some rice noodles:
  "You can accept these, and your life will be easier. After all, Flower Village is not a seaside fishing village, and you can't rely on the sea for food; the village's financial aid is also limited, so don't refuse."

After the three of them exchanged simple greetings for a while, Zijin put away his things and then turned to go to a small river not far outside the village. The river here is more than ten meters wide, and the water is relatively gentle. On weekdays, few villagers fish, which makes it easier for Zi Zhi and her daughter, who are little experts in fishing.

Speaking of this river, we have to mention the maple leaf background picture of Kikyo and Inuyasha on a boat by the river 50 years ago.

There is no river like this that can be used for boating near Maple Village.

That river is just outside the Flower Village.

The villagers also built a simple small dock here.

When only the little girls Li Xia and Zi Zhi were left in the room.

The former started talking about business:

"More than ten days ago, could you please help me find out anything about the news?"

Opposite me, Zi Zhi nodded.

The next moment, I saw two small bats flying out of the corner of the room. He is an untransformed member of the Hundred Ghost Bat Clan. He is half the same race as Zi Zhi.

After the Hyakki Bat clan was completely destroyed, a group of untransformed Hyakki Bats and the bats in the area followed the lead of the purple weaving horse with the noblest bloodline. And with these bats around, all the disturbances around her will reach the little girl's ears immediately.

In other words, any pranks and gossips among the villagers can never escape the secret observation and eavesdropping of this little girl.

Fortunately, so far, the people in the village have only been against the family and have not said anything bad. The dozen or so children in the village are also more restrained.

It's much better than when I was in the small fishing village.

After Zi Zhi summoned the two little bats, he first comforted the two little pets, and then handed them over to Li Xia:
  "Brother Xia, Xiao Qing and Xiao Zi can guide you. Not long ago, they went down the river outside the village and passed through seven villages built on the river. They found the water god who was rumored to have a water god and always used A village where children are sacrificed.”

There is no doubt that Zi Zhi has learned the essence of Nao Dao and knows how to use his humble little pet to go out and gather information.

As the saying goes: You live in a humble room, but you know everything about the world.

"Well done."

Li Xia rubbed the little girl's head, feeling very satisfied.

Already on the way back, he had noticed Zi Zhi's hidden talent of being able to control all bats, and then in front of everyone, he asked the half-demon brat to use his own abilities to help him find out information about the water god.

It doesn't really matter whether the situation can be detected specifically. The main purpose is to test whether Xiao Zizhi has any resistance to him and whether she is willing to do something for him.

He was worried that Zi Jin, a mother, would instill some bad thoughts into Zi Zhi.

If Zi Zhi is strongly dissatisfied with him, then this little sister may not be valuable in wooing and cultivating him.

Now it seems that Zijin is not that stupid yet.

Of course, it is not advisable to rely solely on Zi Zhi to collect intelligence.

On the other side of the modern world, the Li family also secretly helped him collect a lot of useful information. Li Xia is now a "victim" on paper in the Li family; the Smith family is even more busy searching for their family's "traitor" all over the world. Therefore, the Li family's special effort to collect information about the water gods in the Tokyo area of ​​the island country did not cause the slightest movement.

After summarizing, sorting, screening, and finalizing the report, it took less than a day to reach someone's hands.

There are three water god ruins in Tokyo.

Modern Tokyo evolved from the fusion of the former Musashi Country and parts of several other so-called surrounding countries.

Combined with the clues provided by Zi Zhi, the only place can be directly locked.

"Tell your mother that I'm going back to Maple Village first and will come see you again when I have time."

Li Xia said goodbye to Zi Zhi with a smile.

By the river, Li Xia took a step forward, and his toes were about to land on the water. The next moment, a dragon figure with fine scales on both sides of its back and green mane on the middle line of its back quickly appeared under his feet.

"Let's go."

The direction he was going at this time was naturally to a distant village with news about the Water God.

Going down the river, poisonous dragons shuttled in the water, and Li Xia stood firmly on the water with his hands behind his back.

What a handsome young man, young handsome man.

On the way, we encountered two small boats. The people on board were all stunned and trembling with fear.

Everyone thought that the Water Dragon King was traveling.

...

After going downstream for dozens of miles, we entered a large lake.

The great lake is called the Lake of Darkness.

This body of water is very large, covering several miles, and is surrounded by lush grass and reeds.

In the modern world, this large lake has dried up, and the water god's shrine torii has long been dilapidated; but in this world of monsters, this large lake is still fine.

Originally, with the protection of the Water God, the weather had always been smooth here.

However, since half a year ago, the water god in the lake has changed drastically: he no longer only asks for the incense offered by the villagers near the lake, but also asks for boys and girls.

Every month a little boy or girl must be sacrificed.

Otherwise, large waves will roll up and destroy the farmland and houses on the shore.

When the water god is angry, he will inevitably send violent storms, set off big waves, and cause floods. This is not something that the villagers who completely depend on God for begging for food can withstand.

So, every child in the village came in turn every month.

These days, ordinary people are really ignorant, and they really don't have the ability to resist, and they have a very selfish village chief. In a large village with hundreds of households, although the adults are reluctant to give up their children, considering that they are not slow to have children...well, I understand.

(It can be seen that the Water God is an expert in mathematics and knows how to calculate carefully, and he happens to be within the affordability of the villagers.)
  Li Xia did not enter the village because the village was in dilapidated condition.

A large number of houses were destroyed by floods and waves.

"It seems that after I changed some plot directions, Inuyasha and Ali never came to this water area to look for the four soul fragments. Under the butterfly effect, the fake water god was able to continue to dominate, indirectly causing disaster to the village. Yes."

Li Xia thought this way.

It is inevitable to feel a little guilty in my heart.

Then I made some inquiries outside the village.

From the mouths of some surviving villagers, we learned that the reason why the Water God became angry and caused floods to destroy most of the village not long ago was because the village chief changed the sacrifices on his own initiative.
