Kikyo and I are of one mind

"Misleading, that is to say, there is still a way to kill it?" Feng Xue turned her head to look at the Ksitigarbha Temple that she had split in the middle, with a hint of suspicion on her brows, but Kikyo replied softly:

"It's not here. When the statue of Ksitigarbha left, it had already left. If it is expected, the roots of these maple trees should be intertwined. Its body may exist in any section of roots here. , even if all the trees are destroyed, there is always a chance to sprout."

"You said they were intertwined? Isn't that a coincidence?" Behind Feng Xue, egoism emerged, and he was the best at stripping cocoons.

Chapter 133 I Think You Are Playing Me

The flames continued to lick the ground, burning the entire red maple forest, but the strange thing was that the surrounding flowers, plants and trees did not show any scorching marks.

If someone digs up the scorched land, they will be surprised to find that there are not even a single root left under the land where countless maple trees originally grew.

"I have harvested very rare materials."

Feng Xue played with the crimson spool that exuded a faint fragrance in his hand, and gently sniffed the subtle aroma that was a bit like maple syrup. After pulling all the roots of the whole maple forest, he finally caught the body of Hong Yekari, and pulled out such a roll of silk thread that exudes his favorite smell.

This kind of thread has the effect of sucking blood and anesthesia, and it is a good choice to use it to complement his own means. He restored the demon sword into a colorful silk thread, and then cut off a section and twisted it into a strand. With a faint halo, the silk thread melted into the demon sword.

This is the growth method reserved by Dao Dao Zhai. Although it can't eat whatever it chops like Tie Sui Ya, it can assimilate thread materials.Putting it in Feng Xue's hands is equivalent to infinite evolution.

Wrapping it around her wrist again, Feng Xue came to the tomb next to the Dizang Temple, and quietly released the demon-breaking spiritual power to purify the bones buried in this land according to the method taught by Kikyo.

The female ghost before is definitely not an exception, or so, only when the resentment is strong enough to form a ghost, their blood can form a red leaf hunter.

The traces of resentment evaporated, and Feng Xue felt that her emotions were also becoming clear and clear along with this process. That feeling was like watching a movie that healed people's hearts. With the beautiful and happy ending, I feel that the whole person is much more cheerful.

"Kankyo... You already knew there was a Hongye hunter here, right?" Feng Xue took a deep breath, and then asked Kikyo.

"No." Kikyo denied without hesitation, but Feng Xue responded with a skeptical attitude.

In fact, if the wooden stake of the dizang temple hadn't been cut off by a sharp knife, he would have doubted whether the red leaf hunting here was sealed by Kikyo himself in the first place.

But since Kikyo said no, he didn't mean to ask any more. After confirming that there was nothing else to harvest here, he embarked on the journey again.

Although Taro Sato is essentially the "ghost" of Momiji Kari, he is not deceiving. Just less than a day away from the Red Maple Forest, there is indeed a big town.

At this time, Ueno was still a few years away from being divided up by Hojo, Takeda, and Uesugi. Now it was under the control of the samurai class inherited from the Kamakura era. The lord of this small town seemed to be from the Nagao clan.

Of course, those guys in Nihong who dare to be called generals with hundreds of people under their rule, and city lords with only one village, are somewhat inferior in Feng Xue's eyes, and Feng Xue doesn't bother to pay attention to their political relations. .

Just the moment he stepped into the city gate, this small city with a population of only a thousand people was already enveloped by his ripples.

"Well, I didn't feel Gouzi's breath." Feng Xue didn't think there was anything surprising about this result. He had been in the Red Maple Forest for so long. If Er Gouzi and the others were still in this city, that would It must have been too slow.

Of course, the greater possibility is that Gouzi and the others never came to this city at all.

And it's hard to ask about this kind of thing, after all, even if they entered the city, Feng Xue couldn't be sure who had seen them.

But Feng Xue didn't hesitate because he has special questioning skills——

"Here, my lord, what's the matter?"

A guy who looked like a street stalker was carried into the alley by Feng Xue, and he immediately felt the difference in height, and he stammered quickly, although he did want to get from this guy who looked like a fat sheep for a moment. There is something good about the man, but he hasn't had time to do it yet, has he?

"There is something I want to ask you about."

Feng Xue stood in front of him. The huge height difference between the height of 1.8 meters 1.4 and the less than [-] meters of Xiaozi immediately made this street guy give up his plan to resist. In this line of work, bullying the weak and fearing the hard is the foundation. The man is not just empty. After he had a big and tall body, he immediately fell in love:

"Please tell me, as long as you know, the little ones will know everything."

"Is there any strange thing in this city? I mean the kind that seems to be haunted by monsters. It's fine if it's already been solved."

According to Inuyasha's personality, if there are monsters in the passing town, it will definitely be resolved. In other words, it is relatively easy to find out whether Kagome and the others have been there by asking whether there have been monsters in the city.

Who knows that this street slipper didn't even think about it, so he immediately said:

"Is your lord here for the 'Head Thief'?"

"Head thief?" Feng Xue twisted her mouth a few times, it was hard to understand what it was talking about, head stealing... Could it be a thief who stole a head... so it was a thief who stole a corpse?

"Well, it's the guy who comes out at night to cut people's heads..."

Through Jieliuzi's narration, Feng Xue roughly figured out what was going on. To put it simply, a vicious criminal called a head thief appeared in this city many years ago, and his prey ranged from commoners to gangsters to the city lord's staff.

In addition to the head being cut off with one blow, the people who were killed were stripped of all their belongings and even their clothes. Many warriors invited by the city lord failed to catch them, but many of them had their heads cut off. Later, the thief The head thief suddenly disappeared overnight. A few months later, because of the rotten smell, someone found a house full of gold, silver, jewels and rotten heads, and those who entered it all went mad and died.

If things go on like this, this house has become a forbidden area. Everyone knows that there are a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in the house, but no one dares to go in. But last month, a poor and crazy guy stole some jewelry, and the next day , Everyone found a body in the stinking ditch that had been stripped of its clothes and had its head cut off.

In the days that followed, one person would be beheaded every day. The method of death was exactly the same as that of the past. The city lord invited several mages, but none of them had any effect.

……

"Okay, I'm sure, Gouzi and the others didn't come here." Feng Xue tapped her palms lightly, threw a few copper coins left by Taro Sato to Jie Liuzi, and then planned to leave the city.

"Why are you leaving?" Kikyo suddenly asked in Feng Xue's mind, Feng Xue grinned and said:

"You know what? Kikyo."

"Know what?" Kikyo asked without the slightest doubt.

"I feel like you're playing me now."

Chapter 134 Predictive Dreams

If Hong Fenglin was still guessing before, then this time, Feng Xue really felt that Kikyo was playing him.

Although he didn't know exactly how Kikyo figured out that there were monsters here, but this kind of situation where monsters went everywhere could only be arranged, right?

and so……

"Kikyo, are you still a writer?"

"Monsters are everywhere in this era." Kikyo replied flatly, and Feng Xue's expression became more and more weird——

"You actually explained it! If it were you, you would directly say that you don't have it!"

"..."

Kikyo suddenly stopped talking, and Feng Xue didn't ask, or Feng Xue wasn't too disgusted with Kikyo playing him, because he probably knew that Kikyo was doing it for his own good, but...

"You tell me directly that you are here to fight monsters and practice leveling, and I won't stop coming!"

"So I didn't know beforehand." Kikyo sighed in Feng Xue's consciousness, "There are monsters everywhere in this era, no matter where you go, you will always meet some, the difference is just whether it is suitable or not. "

"So how do you know where there will be monsters suitable for me to fight?" Feng Xue was very concerned about what Kikyo said was "suitable", but in comparison, he was even more curious that Kikyo could sense monsters from a super long distance without leaving a trace The method of guiding him to the corresponding position.

"It's a precognitive dream." Kikyo spit out a few words softly, even with these nostalgia in his tone.

"Didn't you say you couldn't?" Feng Xue felt that she had been deceived. When they met for the first time, Kikyo had sworn to tell him that she couldn't predict dreams.

"You asked me too, whether I know how to use it or not, and now I tell you, I don't know how to use it." Kikyo's voice showed a rare mischievous touch, but at this moment, Kikyo's consciousness is fully maintaining his soul State, and can not feel her emotions at this time.

"So now you use..." Feng Xue rolled her eyes, but Kikyo said confidently:

"At the beginning, I was the guardian priestess of the Jade of the Four Souls, so naturally I couldn't use the precognitive dream casually, but now, I am your fiancé, so it is of course possible to use the precognitive dream for personal reasons."

"..." Hearing the words "fiancée", Feng Xue immediately hesitated, and then Kikyo stopped talking.

Regarding this, Feng Xue just adjusted the blood flow with ripples to calm down the little brother, and then said nonchalantly:

"So what exactly are precognitive dreams?"

"It's a technique to change the future." Kikyo responded softly, "This is a very dangerous spell that requires the caster's spirituality to communicate with the world to gain enlightenment. Because dreams are always uncontrollable, and once this technique is used, what appears in the dream (emmmm...) will inevitably happen, and the caster can only deflect the general direction."

"To put it simply, before you dream, you first decide on a direction. For example, I will meet a certain kind of monster. Then in the dream, the dream will use this direction as the outline, and then the world will give you feedback, allowing you to see a future that meets your goal, and what you experience next will also conform to this future?"

Relying on the prophecy abilities in the ACG works she had seen in her previous life, Feng Xue roughly made a guess, and Kikyo also responded in the affirmative:

"That's right, but in essence, precognitive dreams also have hints to themselves. That is to say, after the precognitive dream is completed, the technique does not end, but will reversely affect your choice, such as when you encounter a fork in the road. When you speak, you will instinctively choose the direction in your dream."

"So, as long as you make a choice against your instinct, you can avoid a bad future?" Feng Xue was a little moved by this ability, but Kikyo denied it:

"The essence of predictive dreams is the interaction between your own spirituality and the world. If you use this technique, but go against it, not only your own spirituality will be backlashed, but the next predictive dream will inevitably develop towards a bad result, and as the number of times increases, the power of predictive dreams will also run rampant. In the end, even if you don't use predictive dreams, predictive dreams will appear in every dream of yours, and the final result of each dream will lead to your own death. This fate will even be passed on to future generations along with your blood. It's a very dangerous technique."

"..." Listening to Kikyo's introduction, Feng Xue immediately thought of the witch in a Naruto theatrical version. That might be the consequence of abusing precognitive dreams, but...

"Is there a way to break the game?" Feng Xue believes that Kikyo is not the kind of person who will casually leave everything to fate, and Kikyo also responded in a rare, somewhat complacent tone:

"The way to break the situation is 'other people'. The prophetic dream is a 'contract' between the caster and the world, and only the caster is affected. In other words, people other than the caster can affect this process. The premise Yes, the caster did not directly interfere with the opponent's choice, otherwise it would be regarded as the caster's 'broken contract'.

You and I are in a special state of soul, and my precognitive dreams don't see you as a 'caster', so as long as I don't tell you the details of the dream, and don't give you instructions, you can change the future, of course , if it conforms to the instructions of the dream, there is no problem. "

Feng Xue wanted to speak and stopped, stopped and wanted to speak, thought for a while, forgot what to say, and finally could only utter one sentence——

"So the prophets are all riddlers?"

"..." Kikyo didn't respond to him this time, and Feng Xue didn't pursue him. Although I felt that Kikyo deliberately used this to avoid some questions that he didn't want to answer, but generally speaking, he shouldn't be lying.

Since it was for his own benefit, of course he would not waste Kikyo's kindness.

only……

"You told me the details of the prophetic dream, so if I insist on opposing your instructions, will it cause backlash?"

"No. Because I didn't tell you what's ahead of the dream, nor did I tell you whether the result is good or bad. The ambiguous suggestion is not a shortcut to the end, and how to choose is completely your own guess." Kikyo gave full play to the special feature of a riddleman at this time. After a long list of words, Feng Xue didn't understand at all, but finally understood one thing——

As long as he inquires less, this technique will be fine.

……

Compared to Hongye Shou, who knows how to hide the evil spirit and disguise himself, the resentment of the Headthief's House can be said to be undisguised. Although Ripple can't perceive this power, after Feng Xue flew into the sky with flying feet and opened his spirit vision to look down on the entire city, the buildings that seemed to be wrapped in dirty black and red (emmm...) airflow have been seen at a glance.

Compared with Wukong, which has a rigid index for qi, flying feet is a useful and affordable skill. As long as the control is up to the standard, he can move quickly in the air, that is, in about ten seconds, he has already come here In front of a standard Japanese mansion.

Chapter 135 Investigation

This is a very typical Japanese-style mansion. The main body of the building with flying eaves and brackets facing south is located in the center of the courtyard surrounded by walls. There is a simple front yard with a landscape tree, but the sound of frightened deer can be heard faintly, which seems to indicate that a lot of thought has been put into the backyard here.

However, it is not a simple matter for Jinglu, which seems to be often seen in Japanese-style houses, to operate. This era is not the modern era where tap water and water pumps can be used to be lazy. A Jinglu wants to escape To achieve long-term operation of artificial water storage, at least one spring with sufficient water power is required.

Not only that, the bamboo structure of Jinglu itself, compared with its continuous work of receiving liquids and hitting stones, is still a bit fragile after all, and it often takes a long time for problems such as aging, decay, and damage to occur. According to the street sneaker, this house has been abandoned for many years, even if there are occasional poor and crazy people who go in and steal it, no one should help repair it.

However, the sound of startled deer was still clear, and the flowers and trees in the yard did not grow wildly.

This is not normal.

"It seems that he is still a ghost who cares about the quality of life?" Feng Xue chuckled and pushed open the wooden courtyard door. At the same time as the lack of lubrication sounded, the sound of birds flapping their wings also sounded from the surroundings.

More than a dozen sparrows who were startled by the sound of the door opening rose into the sky, but Feng Xue was not infected by the desolate atmosphere, instead she showed a subtle smile:

"Really, at this time, a few crows should be flying to set off the atmosphere better?"

"There is a lot of evil here, but there is no death. Ordinary crows would not like this kind of place." Kikyo explained seriously, which made Feng Xue, who said it casually, a little bit want to laugh.

He didn't rush into the building where the main door had been opened, but started to investigate around the yard.

This house does not occupy a large area, but none of the elements of traditional and Japanese-style courtyards are left behind.

Under the eaves on both sides of the main building, the aisles with wooden floors are called side edges, which is the place where the hero and heroine in ACG often sit and eat watermelon in summer. At the end of the side edges on both sides, there is a room that does not look big, but is close to the courtyard wall. From the outside, there is almost no difference, but you can faintly feel that it contains a different atmosphere——

The room on the west side is full of blood, while the room on the east side is full of evil thoughts.

At the end of the side edge is a beautiful backyard that occupies nearly half of the courtyard. One is not too big, but it looks very elegant with lotus flowers floating. Crisp percussion.

When you get closer, you can see koi swimming faintly in the pond. Although it is not a top-level species, it is also full of vitality.

But the most eye-catching thing in this yard is the huge cherry blossom tree. The pink cherry blossoms cover the branches, and when a breeze blows, some of the cherry blossoms slowly fall, causing (okay) little ripples in the pond below, attracting fish in the pond to come and go.

Feng Xue didn't have any accomplishments in this area, so he couldn't recognize which kind of cherry blossom it was, but he knew very well that no matter what kind of cherry blossom it was, it should never bloom so gorgeously in this season.

"Is this the legendary 'the cherry blossoms that buried the corpses are blooming'?" Feng Xue smacked her lips, marked the cherry blossom tree, and then turned to look behind the building.

Except for the two rooms in the corner, there is only one house facing the backyard. The door has been opened, and the dry firewood piled inside can be seen. There is no doubt that this is a firewood house.

Next to the wall of the firewood house, there is a structure that looks like a kang, but after echolocation through the ripples, Feng Xue has a judgment——

Behind the two walls of the firewood house are the kitchen and the bathroom, and the kang-like thing is actually used to boil water in the bathroom.

Just looking at this device, Feng Xue can imagine the scene where the master is taking a bath in the bathroom, and the servant is lighting a fire here through the wall, um, Kikyo is taking a bath...

"Ahem..." Kikyo's light cough interrupted Feng Xue's delusion to get up again, and after adjusting her qi and blood, Feng Xue left the firewood room.

After all, it is a place full of firewood, without blood or resentment, except for old charcoal ashes and fresh-looking firewood, there is nothing.

Although fresh firewood is a bit strange, it is nothing compared to the cherry blossoms in full bloom in autumn, the almost new startled deer, and the fat koi in the pond.

In addition to the main entrance of the main hall facing the courtyard gate, there are two gates on the east and west sides.

One of them on the east side is the kitchen next to the firewood room. There is no ingredients in it, and there is no trace of a fire. It can be said that it is the most normal room after entering the yard. But behind the second door is a relatively spacious dressing room... well, it is the toilet.

Although it sounds a bit strange, the ancients, whether they were flower growers or neon, called the toilet a place to change clothes. The main reason is that rich people have to change their clothes after going to the toilet.As for whether they stink of putting clothes with the toilet...well, with partitions.

Although it is said that it has not been used all year round and there is no smell, Feng Xue does not intend to go behind the partition to explore. She glanced at the gorgeous kimonos on the shelf outside the partition and always felt that there was something wrong——
