Kikyo and I are of one mind

Although the defensive net formed by the wire mesh and the AT force field reserved for him a hemispherical space with a radius of about ten meters, there are far more maple leaves in this maple forest than he imagined. If you look at it from the outside, you might see a huge "red leaf ball", right?

The completely dark environment did not affect Feng Xue much, but it was a headache for him not to be able to find a way out. These maple leaves are not magic weapons, even ordinary people can easily tear them apart, but along with this process, those red leaves will release a lot of lethargic gas, and this skeleton has no lethargy resistance.

As for barrier isolation... This is a paradox. Magic protection itself is a "collective" isolation method, and its ability to identify is limited after all.

For example, defense against physical impact, defense against cutting, or simply defense against perception, but as long as you need to breathe, it is impossible to defend against poisonous gas, unless the poisonous gas itself has properties completely different from air, so that it is very easy to be recognized by spells.

Of course, if it is that kind of talented player, at this time, it is completely possible to create a special enchantment according to the characteristics of poisonous gas, but at least Feng Xue doesn't have that ability.

"If you don't use the spiritual power to purify it." Feng Xue had this idea in his heart, but before he could mobilize the spiritual power, Kikyo snatched the control of the spiritual power, and said very seriously:

"Spiritual power cannot be used. The poison of Hongye Shou does not depend on the evil energy. Even if you purify the evil energy, the toxin will still exist, and because the evil energy is purified, these leaves cannot maintain their shape, and the poison will rush out at that time. .”

"Then what should we do? Speaking of which, how did you deal with Momiji Kari before?"

When Feng Xue heard what Kikyo said, she immediately dismissed the idea, and then began to ask her about the strategy, but unexpectedly, Kikyo said——

"Think for yourself."

"Hey, now is not the time to joke, is it?" Feng Xue never expected that Kikyo would throw out such a few words, and even began to wonder if this Kikyo had been transferred.

But Kikyo said slowly:

"Thinking more will help you maintain your humanity. In addition, Naraku is a mixture of various monsters. If you want to fight him, you need experience in dealing with various monsters. Momiji is just a typical one."

"Ah, this..." Feng Xue suddenly had nothing to say, but Kikyo added another sentence——

"If you can evaporate the entire forest at once, it would be a shortcut."

"It's really better to listen to what you have to say than to listen to what you have to say. Isn't this the same as saying nothing?" Feng Xue grinned, if he changed the body of Piccolo or No. It's flat, but his current strength is all about hurting people.

By the way, seek jade!

Feng Xue's eyes lit up, and a pitch-black knife immediately appeared in his hand. Under his deliberate indulgence, a red leaf passed through the protection of the silk screen, and "floated" towards him with a bright and cold light.

Feng Xue, who had no training in swordsmanship, pulled out the spear in his hand with a very non-standard posture. Relying on the calibration of the silk thread, he hit the red leaf accurately.

The moment the pitch-black blade touched the red leaves, the red leaves seemed to be partially erased by an eraser, and they just shattered, but it did not turn into blood like the damaged red leaves before, nor did it There was a sweet smell.

"Sure enough, the annihilation feature of the Dao-seeking jade is effective." Feng Xue began to wave the knife in her hand indiscriminately, slashing at the surrounding red leaves, destroying the collapse effect of the Dao-seeking jade and the toxin in the red leaves.

Kikyo didn't affirm or deny his actions, but Feng Xue quickly discovered the problem——

There are too many red leaves.

It is no more efficient to use a knife to cut a bloody path than to use the AT force field to advance.

Sato Taro's ripples have long been out of the range of perception, and it is obviously a luxury to rely on him to find a way out.

Probably seeing through that there is no risk even if she loses her body, Kikyo has no intention of giving any help at all. (Kikyo, why are you just watching?)

"In the final analysis, Kikyo shouldn't ask me to use Daoist Jade, or in other words, I should use a smarter method..." Feng Xue thought about the existing information, and looked for the key that might break the situation again. Four monsters, the inn , Bandits...

Thinking of this, Feng Xue couldn't help thinking of what the female ghost said before—

Fortunately, Taro was buried...

He probably didn't bury it, but fed the blood of the corpse to the maple trees in the forest, right?

Thinking up to this point, Feng Xue only felt a flash of light in her mind——

"Ksitigarbha Temple?!"

That's right, if the other party directly bleeds to raise the monster, then that female ghost can't say that she was lucky enough to be buried. In other words, the so-called Sato Taro did bury the female ghost's body, and this kind of burial behavior, is it secretly contributing blood full of resentment to Maple Forest?

In other words, this Ksitigarbha Temple...is the core of this maple forest?

Feng Xue doesn't know how much of her guess is correct, but for now, she can only try it out.

Corrugated silk threads spread out towards the surroundings. Feng Xue used the AT force field to forcefully push the red leaves to move, and the black blade in her hand kept chopping up the red leaves that broke through the defense due to the gap caused by the movement. Along with this process, Feng Xue Xue also began to gradually master some knacks with knives.

How to chop more effortlessly, how to make the movement more precise, from what angle can the strength be restrained...

Feng Xue only felt that the reminder of "knife experience +1" was constantly floating on his body. Such positive feedback made him forget his original purpose, and began to focus on the practice of chopping maple leaves.

Kikyo didn't say much about Feng Xue's behavior of "not doing business properly". Whether it's solving Hongye Shou or honing his sword skills, Feng Xue is making progress. Anyway, Hongye Shou is a monster that can't move. It doesn't make much difference whether it is sooner or later.

As for that human...

The best way to fight against spells is to learn spells. As the most outstanding priestess of an era, Kikyo doesn't use spells, but it doesn't mean she can't.

Chapter 131 The name of the move is very important

Maybe Feng Xue's body is really talented, maybe it's because the cooperation of egoism and puppetry can make him better calibrate his posture, or maybe it's the soul that was given to him by the body of a bandit when he traveled through time. What was left behind was the inheritance other than Japanese. In short, Feng Xue was making rapid progress in this cage made of maple leaves.

From putting in only one leaf at the beginning, to putting in two or three leaves at the same time, Feng Xue's movements also began to change from swinging the knife casually, to gradually becoming a little more lawful.

More and more maple leaves fell, Feng Xue's movements became faster and faster, and the chakra lines connected to him began to decrease, which meant that his reliance on egoistic calibration postures was gradually decreasing.

Because of the relationship between Zhuzhi's male factor and Ripple, this Yike has quite good stamina. Even though Feng Xue has been wielding the weapon at the Maple Leaf Ball for most of the day, she still doesn't feel much fatigue.

"I think if I continue to practice like this, I might become a great swordsman." A black light draws a beautiful arc, chopping twelve red leaves at the same time, Feng Xue puts in more red leaves, and fights Kikyo chatted.

"Don't be careless." Kikyo still responded with that flat, lacking sense of humor, but for Feng Xue, Kikyo's willingness to answer is enough to fight against boredom and loneliness.

Although I don't know the exact time, I took out my phone and glanced at it. It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon, but Feng Xue was not in a hurry. Sharpening a knife is not a mistake in chopping firewood. It is also very good to exercise.

……

In the blink of an eye, Feng Xue has been trapped in the red leaf ball for three days. Although it is said so, Feng Xue still needs to eat and drink, and sleep when she wants to sleep. Anyway, these red leaves can't penetrate his body. Wire mesh and at force field.

In the past three days, although I haven't seen the secrets yet, I have developed some practical tricks. Although it is still a line control technique in essence, after being proficient in using a knife to release it, it can save a hundred percent. A few seconds, although it doesn't sound long, but in the past few days of training, Feng Xue has deeply realized how important these times that need to be calculated with two decimal places are.

Of course, if you use egoism to display it, there is no need to say much about this accuracy, but the accuracy of egoism is calculated based on Feng Xue's own accuracy. In other words, with the improvement of his own precision, the accuracy of egoism The precision will also increase accordingly.

If he can improve his precision to the cellular level, then it seems that self-interested molecular-level manipulation is not a luxury.

Although he can only operate at the millimeter level now.

After moving her hands and feet, Feng Xue started today's practice again. With the at force field opening a gap, the red leaves swept over again.

"Xili!" With a soft shout, countless filaments fell like a shower, stabbing each red leaf with precision. After three days of fighting, these red leaf hunters seemed to have gained some experience. Seeing Feng Xue wield the knife, Immediately began to evade, but, just as no matter how you evade in the rainstorm, you can't avoid the fate of being contaminated by the rain. Under the setting sun, no red leaf can escape Feng Xue's attack.

Thousands of red leaves were linked by silk threads in an instant, and then Feng Xue spit out two more words——

"Kuroshio!"

As the voice fell, a gleam of black light flashed through the thread of the originally invisible substance, and the red leaves also turned into pitch-black ashes in this flickering black awn.

"Why do you have to call out the name of the move when you make a move?" Kikyo's puzzled voice sounded in Feng Xue's mind, and Feng Xue grinned and said:

"Don't you think the power of shouting moves will increase when you make moves?"

"do not think so……"

"Well, this is a technique to increase conditioned reflex." Feng Xue is used to Kikyo's lack of sense of humor, so she simply explained it seriously:

"To put it bluntly, a trick is a combination of different skills. When you first use it, you always need to think about how to combine it. This will undoubtedly waste some time. If you want to put it into actual combat, you must make it an instinct like reaching out. To use it, the body has already completed the combination.

The more complex the action is, the longer it will take to achieve such an effect. After all, it is very difficult to associate the action with the idea of ​​an invisible substance, and calling out the name of the trick is a way to complete the association between the sound and the conditioned reflex, and then speed up the formation of the conditioned reflex. After all, the sound is more recognizable than the thought.

It’s like learning characters while reading and writing. In this way, even if you forget how to write a character when writing, as long as you recite softly, your hands will move subconsciously, because the writing of the character has been associated with the sound up. "

"Is that so?" Kikyo murmured softly in Feng Xue's mind, but Feng Xue always felt that this woman would go to Versailles with him again, but considering that Kikyo shouldn't be the type to show off, she shook her head and continued to devote herself to training middle.

Feng Xue's training lasted like this for half a month. He didn't put away his weapon until the red leaves surrounding him could no longer completely cover the sun.

"Go this way." Just when Feng Xue was thinking about whether to fly directly to the sky to see where the Dizang Temple is, Kikyo suddenly spoke, and following her guidance, Feng Xue quickly (emmmm...) felt A familiar ripple.

"Good guy, this guy hasn't run away yet... No! Kikyo, how do you know he's here?"

Feeling Sato Taro's ripples, Feng Xue asked in her mind, but Kikyo didn't answer him.

"I think you're playing me." Feng Xue muttered twice, but she still walked in the direction of Taro Sato. Soon, a ruined temple that wasn't too tall, and even a bit shabby, appeared in the field of vision.

On the side of this dilapidated temple, there is a cemetery with no decorations, just simple wooden tombstones and small mounds piled up with gravel.

And Taro Sato was sitting in front of this cemetery at this time, with red eyes, dark circles under his eyes, and dry cheeks, and it seemed impossible to confuse him with the good-looking young man before.

Seeing Feng Xue's appearance, Sato Taro's eyes showed a trace of bewilderment, but he soon came to his senses, and said loudly in a dry voice:

"Since you are not dead, you should leave, why are you chasing after me?"

"But you are here, aren't you just waiting for me to come over?" Feng Xue was a little puzzled by Sato Taro's words, but Sato Taro laughed wildly:

"It's not me waiting for you, it's them waiting for you! I'm just a poor wretch, do you think it's over if you kill me? No, you'll just become the next me!"

As he spoke, Sato Taro tore open his front placket vigorously, and on his heart, a faint blood-red maple leaf-shaped imprint was silently shining with a blood-colored gleam.

Chapter 132 Standard Ending

The blood-red maple leaf imprint shone with a scarlet luster, but there was no bloody smell at all. With the perception of the ripples, Feng Xue could notice that the vitality on his body had weakened to less than one-third of that of an ordinary person.

"Get out of here, or you won't be able to leave." Taro Sato said in an almost begging manner, but Feng Xue looked at the Ksitigarbha Temple that didn't look too big with great interest.

Although it is said to be a Ksitigarbha Temple, it does not seem to be dedicated to Ksitigarbha. In fact, if you look closely, you will find that this temple does not seem to be built with bricks and stones, but carved out of a huge tree stump.

"This temple is Hongye Shou's body?" Feng Xue raised her eyebrows and asked thoughtfully.

"The main body? No, it's the mother body." Sato Taro sat down in front of the temple gate with a mournful face, and said as if recalling:

"All the maple trees in this forest are branches that were born when this temple was still a maple tree. Ten years ago, I followed the caravan to Musashi to serve as an official, and I rested here along the way. The innkeeper at that time was A woman with a gentle demeanor, the guards hired by the caravan thought carefully, but all disappeared the next day. The steward of the caravan decided to leave immediately, but got lost in the maple forest. Killed that boss, but that didn't end the disaster..."

Taro Sato pointed to the mark on his chest, and his complexion became paler——

"It forced me to collect the blood of the unjustly dead and cultivate more offspring for it. If you kill me, you will be the boss of Hongyeju like me, and then look for unjustly dead corpses day after day... ..."

"Generally speaking, you don't want to die." Feng Xue spread her hands, ignored Taro Sato, and walked to the Jizo Temple instead of looking at the empty lotus platform where the statue should have been, but instead He focused his attention on the somewhat blurred stele in front of the temple gate.

Through the intermittent Chinese characters on the stele, Feng Xue gradually understood what happened here through the superior readability of Chinese (even if there are missing characters or omissions), Feng Xue gradually understood what happened here.

Now this wooden Ksitigarbha Temple was originally a maple tree that had lived for thousands of years. Because it was stained with the blood of the great demon of the ghost clan full of demon power and hatred, it turned into a red leaf hunting, and once cut off this business road.

Later, a mage came here, cut off the maple tree, killed Hongye Shou, carved its stump into the shape of a dizang temple, and enshrined a dizang image in it to suppress the evil spirits here. spirit.

But now, there is no Ksitigarbha statue in the Ksitigarbha Temple, so one can imagine what happened——

Presumably, just like countless adventure movies, a stunned young man, tomb robber, thief or other unseemly occupation strayed into this place and stole the statue of Jizo in the temple, causing the evil spirit of Hongye hunter who was beheaded to slowly recover.

but……

"Since the sorcerer was able to kill Hongye Shou and cut off the trunk back then, why didn't he completely destroy it?"

"Because this kind of evil spirit is difficult to eliminate." Kikyo replied with some helplessness:

"The vitality of the monster itself is very strong, especially the monster of the evil spirit type, second only to the [fear] monster, it is almost impossible to be completely killed, let alone the body of the opponent is still a plant. Even if an ordinary tree is cut down Afterwards, sprouts may also grow on the stump, let alone monsters?"

"Are you going to go?"

Just when Feng Xue was "talking to himself", Sato Taro spoke again. At this time, his skin had begun to dry up, his whole body exuded a decayed atmosphere, and his hoarse voice was even more impressive. Old distorted bad tapes sounded.

"Although you were said to be under control, you poisoned me even though I escaped unharmed. It can be seen that you took the initiative to kill the complainant. As for the reason... Well, considering the hunting clothes, you also put away all the goods left by the guests I wanted to be eaten?" Feng Xue squinted her eyes, looking at the man who was close to the mummified body, without the slightest sympathy in her eyes.

"Well, that's just waste utilization..." Sato Taro made a futile excuse, but Feng Xue waved her hand indifferently:

"I won't kill you, and I'm too lazy to save you. As for whether I can survive, it depends on whether this monster will drag you to die together."

After all, Feng Xue didn't intend to communicate with Sato Taro anymore. The silk threads centered on the Ksitigarbha Temple and radiated towards the surroundings, slowly forming a huge maple tree in this maple forest. net.

Every maple tree is the fulcrum of the net until all the trees within a radius of several kilometers are entangled.

"Yang Yan!"

The blade stabbed at the Ksitigarbha Temple, and the blade also burned in the process.

The burning of the blade didn't have much effect on the power, but as the blade was ignited, the silk threads spreading from his body also ignited a raging fire.

The spiritual fire infused with demon-breaking spiritual power and fire attribute chakra spread across the entire maple forest in an instant, and the countless maple leaves fluttered up and down, as if they were screaming piercingly.

Sato Taro's body was drained in an instant, and a red leaf shot up from his body that had turned into ashes, and rushed straight to Feng Xue's chest.

As soon as the blade turned, the silk thread shot from three different angles had sealed all its dodging range, but the red light passed through the silk thread constructed by the demon-breaking spiritual power and came straight to Feng Xue.

"Has the shell been made with Taro Sato's blood?"

Feng Xue thought in her heart, but didn't do anything else, because the AT force field had already blocked the red light.

It was a strange spirit body that looked like a maple leaf, but exuded the smell of blood. Feng Xue swung the blade, and the spirit body was instantly destroyed by the Qiudao jade.

All the screaming maple leaves fell to the ground and were burned by the fire that spread throughout the forest. Feng Xue raised her eyebrows and said in surprise:

"Is this the body?"

"No." Kikyo replied without any hesitation, "It's just an illusion that it wants you to think that the main body has been wiped out. Although Hongye Shou doesn't seem to have high intelligence, it is actually very cunning. As long as we leave, within a few years, this place will become a maple forest again, and there will still be a Hongye residence in the maple forest."
