Twelve Trials from Scratch

Changgu Balun said, and handed over the sheathed long knife in his hand.

"This is... spring rain?"

Su Qi took a look and knew that it was Soichiro's saber, a weapon made of dragon's teeth.

He didn't take it immediately, but said: "This is what the ancestor gave Zongichiro, is it okay to give it to me?"

"Take it, that guy has no relatives, and if he stays, he just stays in the warehouse to collect dust." Changgu Balun handed the knife forward again, and said seriously: "And your knife is second-hand, even if it is alive The power is strengthened, and the blade is already a bit curled, and this knife is just a replacement. In addition, I also hope that you can take this as a warning and always carry this knife to remind yourself not to step into evil ways like Soichiro."

He was right.The knife that Su Qi is using now was brought out from Hinako's village. Even if it was well maintained before and strengthened with spiritual power during the battle, there are obvious curling blades and gaps, and it is almost time to change it.

"Okay, then I'll be disrespectful."

Now that this point has been mentioned, of course Su Qi will not be pretentious anymore, and even if he took Chun Yu over, he held it in his hand.

"Jianxin..." Ishii stepped forward, with a complex expression on his face, "I am most fortunate to have met you and led you into the Tao..."

Before he finished speaking, Changgu Balun reached out and grabbed the collar by the back, and pulled him back, "Okay, we are all big men, we don't want mothers-in-law and mother-in-law. It is enough to say so much, and then leave time for Him and Liuli."

After all, regardless of struggling and protesting, he was dragged away from the scene forcibly.

For a moment, only Su Qi and Liuli stood opposite each other at the intersection.

It is rare for girls today not to wear kendo uniforms, but to tie up their long hair, wear flower hairpins, white socks and clogs, and a delicate and elegant white cherry blossom kimono.There is no makeup on the face, it is clear and flawless, it looks so beautiful, and the beauty is so beautiful that it is hard to take your eyes off it.

But Su Qi didn't dare to look any further, he glanced at it briefly, then turned around, looked at the distant mountains and the rising sun, and fell silent.

At this time, the morning light is light, the breeze is gentle, the surrounding green grass is luxuriant, the dew is condensed, the air is as fresh as washing, and the surrounding fields are quiet... The comfortable atmosphere makes people feel at peace unconsciously.

The two stood by the road, Liuli looked at Su Qi, Su Qi looked at Chaoyang, they didn't speak for a long time, but unexpectedly they didn't feel embarrassed.

However, the sun will eventually set, and parting will eventually come. Su Qi's indecisiveness is not in line with Su Qi's character, so he took the lead and said, "I'm leaving."

"Oh."

A pair of bright eyes stared at Su Qi's face quietly. Although the girl's tone was flat, there was undisguised reluctance and expectation in her eyes.The reason why she, who has a reserved personality, can be so "blind" is naturally because of the wonderful change in her mood after the conversation about the cycle of life and death before the decisive battle.

"Is there anything else you want to say to me? After all, after leaving, it will probably be difficult to see you again in this life."

Su Qi deliberately ignored the other party's eyes, and at the same time deliberately defined this parting as a forever farewell.

He understood the other party's mind, but he also knew that he could not respond to the other party's mind.

Firstly, he is a time traveler with nowhere to go in the future, so it is basically impossible to stay in this place with Liuli forever; secondly, he is very clear that although he has a good impression of Liuli, he is definitely not at the level of "love".

He doesn't want to lie to himself, nor does he lie to himself.In this regard, he is a traditional school, and he doesn't bother to be a big carrot.

So as long as it is not the person he identified, no matter what, he will not pull the other party out of emotions such as sympathy and pity.As for those scumbags who just want to fuck and don't want to be responsible, they are one of the species he hates the most. Of course, it is impossible to choose that approach.

"Yes." The girl still stared at Su Qi's eyes without blinking, and said seriously: "Can you take me with you?"

"Huh?" The latter was slightly taken aback, "Aren't you going to stay here and take care of your father?"

"He suddenly ran over last night and said that he wanted to reform himself and take charge of the dojo again, so... now I am free."

Seeing the longing in those bright eyes, Su Qi couldn't help but look away, remained silent for a moment, and finally said softly: "Sorry, I don't want to involve you in danger."

"Really..." The girl's eyes darkened, and she forced a bitter smile, "I knew you would say that."

Su Qi was silent, not knowing how to respond.

The girl didn't care, she just hung down the path, stared at the small white flower under her feet, and said to herself, "Don't worry, I won't cry."

"Well, I'm not worried, you are much stronger than ordinary men."

"If you finish your mission, will you come back to the dojo?"

"Haha..." Su Qi laughed twice, pretending to be funny: "I am a man like the wind, I like to make my home around the world, and see scenery that I have never seen before, so I probably won't come back."

"It's really fickle."

"That's right, men are all fickle pigs, so you must keep your eyes open in the future, and don't be fooled."

"Like being tricked by you?"

He paused, then sighed, "I'm sorry...so, be especially careful with people like me."

"That's right, but... I want you to lie to me again."

Su Qi didn't answer, but remained silent for a long time.After a while, until the sun gradually climbed into the sky, he finally said: "I should go."

The girl slowly raised her head, her eyes were like water, she looked at his back, and said with a soft smile, "Then... I wish you a smooth journey."

"I also wish you a happy life."

After Su Qi said softly, he tied up his bundle, put on the bamboo hat, and was about to step away.

"and many more."

A voice came from behind, and his footsteps also stopped, "What's wrong?"

"That old knife, can you leave it to me?"

Su Qi glanced at the old knife on his waist, hesitated for a moment, and finally took it off and put it on the ground.Then, without looking back, he stepped onto the avenue, walked forward unhurriedly, and gradually disappeared from the girl's sight.

The latter stared until the back was no longer visible, then stepped forward to pick up the knife, carefully wiped it clean with a handkerchief, held it in his arms, and returned to the dojo.

Changgu Balun, who had been guarding the door all the time, immediately went up to meet her when she came back, but before he could speak, he was hugged.

"Father..." The girl buried her head in her arms and said with a slight trembling voice, "Let me hug you for a while, is that okay?"

Changgu Balun felt a throbbing pain in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Of course, of course, you can stay in Dad's arms as long as you want."

Feeling the moist touch faintly coming from his chest, while holding his daughter, stroking her back, comforting her softly, he secretly hated: It's over!That hateful brat, because of him, there is no need to think about Liuli's marriage... Meie, I'm sorry for you...

……

On the other side, Su Qi stepped on straw sandals, carried a burden on his back, and had a long knife on his waist. He was dressed as a Warring States rogue, and wandered alone on the fields and country roads.

"The road of life... The dream is like a long dream... The wind and frost on the road... The wind and frost hit the face dry..."

Singing a foreign song that no one can understand, he took out a folded small cloth bag from his arms, opened it carefully, and a jade fragment with a strange pink and purple light suddenly appeared in front of him.

There is no doubt that this is the Jade of the Four Souls that people and demons are chasing crazily.

Well, it seems that many people are entangled in the ending of Liuli, so I will spoil a little more, I will not marry, I will not take medicine, I will not die alone, in short, it will not be a sad ending, you can rest assured.

Chapter 50 Do you long for power?

The jade fragments of the four souls were naturally found from Soichiro, and Su Qi had studied them carefully. It was a strange crystal formed by the materialization of countless souls.

The spiritual power comes from the soul, so the jade of the four souls also has its own spiritual power fluctuations and spiritual power fields, and it is only a fragment, and its spiritual power is more than ten times stronger than his own, and it is even difficult to calculate its limit.

And as long as you carry the jade of the four souls on your body and make a wish on it, it will automatically increase the user's spiritual power, and distort reality in an unpredictable way, and to some extent realize the user's wish.

Su Qi tried it a little before, wishing to increase his strength, and on the spot, he increased his overall muscle strength to nearly three times, and it was not the limit, and he could increase slowly.If the main power of the Jade of the Four Souls was not to maintain his life in the previous battle with Soichiro, but to simply enhance his strength, it would have been even more difficult to win.

In addition, it can also strengthen the ability of the artifact itself.

As long as the fragments are embedded in an ordinary samurai sword, with one swing, the sword energy can be amplified to an exaggerated level, enough to cut a large house in half with one blow.As for the basic qualities such as sharpness, it is even more difficult to cut gold and cut jade, just waiting for it.

But as expected, the Jade of the Four Souls has both advantages and disadvantages.

Once you use the jade of the four souls under the guidance of desire, your own spiritual power will be polluted by the evil thoughts in the jade, which will indirectly distort your soul and blacken your personality.If you use it for too long and rely too much on it, you will naturally fall into the devil's way.

And if the person has deep evil thoughts, he will resonate with Yuzhong's evil thoughts, speed up the process of blackening, and make the user alienate into a demon faster.

However, Su Qi has already broken through to the second level of perception in the previous battles. Regardless of his spiritual power, concentration or willpower, he is far from being comparable to ordinary humans or monsters. The soul jade fragments are used as hole cards.

After all, he is just an ordinary human being after all, unlike the protagonists in the original book who have various bonuses, so of course he must make full use of powerful tools, as long as he is careful not to let himself be polluted.

"Do you crave power?"

As Su Qi stared at the jade fragments of the four souls, a bewitching voice sounded faintly in his heart, "Come on, make a wish to me. As long as you make a wish, you can get everything."

"Whispering, you will definitely not be able to give me what I desire."

There was no fluctuation in his heart, and he was about to take back the fragments when a figure suddenly rushed from the grass by the side of the road.

"Hand over the jade of the four souls to me!!"

Before he finished speaking, the sword light flashed, blood spattered, and a green-skinned lizard that had its limbs cut off and was the size of an adult man fell heavily in front of Su Qi.

Chi!

The sharp blade sticks to the face and plunges into the ground, scaring back the painful cry it was about to utter.

"This old man..." Su Qi knelt down next to its head, and said with a kind (he) good (eel) smile: "You just said, what did you ask me to hand over?"

The other party was so frightened by this smile that his tail was straightened, his whole body trembled, and he froze for a while, and finally managed to squeeze out a charming smile on the green lizard's face, and said in a trembling voice: "Big and big... What are you talking about, sir? The little one just now Said... the jade fragments of the four souls in your hand are so beautiful, sir."

Su Qi glanced at it with a half-smile, and didn't care. He just put the fragment back into his arms while staring at it and said, "I have a question for you. Have you ever heard of Kikyo, the witch who protects the Jade of the Four Souls?"

Under the sharp eyes, the latter did not dare to lie, nor could he tell a lie, so he could only say in panic, "Okay, okay... I seem to have heard it before."

"Where is the village where the witch lives, do you know?"

"Uh... it seems... I haven't heard of it."

"Hey, you can't even answer such a simple question. It's hard for me to convince myself to spare your life."

It trembled in fright, struggled to turn over, and kept kowtowing: "Master, please forgive me! Please, please forgive me! The little one will never dare again, please forgive the little one this time!!"

"Then the last question, have you ever eaten or attacked a human being?"

The big lizard froze, its eyes widened, full of panic.

"Wrong answer."

With a flash of the knife, the body and head were separated.Afterwards, water droplets quickly seeped from the sharp and slender blade, diluting the blood.

Su Qi stood up, flicked off the blood on the knife, and put it back into the sheath.Then he looked at the three-way intersection not far ahead, and frowned slightly, "Next, which direction do you want to go?"

In the end, he still used the knife as a stick, and determined which way to go by the direction of the fall.

This metaphysical method is used because the geographical location in "Inuyasha" is basically all vague. Although it can be inferred from the original work that Kikyo's village is within the territory of Musashi, the specific location is unknown.

Although Japan's territory is small, it is relatively speaking. It is definitely not an easy task to go over mountains and mountains in this era of extremely poor road conditions with the help of No. [-] vehicles.

For this reason, Su Qi has already started thinking about whether to catch a flying monster to travel instead.At the same time, if there is no other way, I am going to find the target by asking the monster while looking for it by myself.

Because in this era, the speed of information transmission between monsters is actually much faster than that of humans, and many monsters are frantically chasing the Jade of the Four Souls, so there should be quite a few people who know about it.

However, I don't know if it is bad luck.Two days passed, he lived and slept, and neither caught the flying monster nor got any news about Jikyo Village. It was not until the evening of the third day that a burst of screams and screams attracted him.
