Reborn as Platycodon, an infinite journey begins from Demon Slayer

"Zen Master Daoji..."

This Zen master must be the most powerful monk in that temple. It seems that he knew about my visit.

"Bikyou?"

Xue Li turned to ask what she meant.

"Then we will be disrespectful!"

"Master, please lead the way!"

Kikyo nodded. She also happened to have a few questions to ask Zen Master Daoji.

"Two female donors, please!"

The middle-aged monk walked in front and led Platycodon and Xueli through a small forest and in front of the door of a bamboo house built with bamboo. "Uncle Master, the two female donors have already arrived."

"Okay, you go down first!" A gentle voice came from the bamboo house.

Platycodon opened the bamboo door and saw an old monk with a kind face and a long white beard. Although he was skinny but still energetic, he was sitting at the low table.

"Donor Platycodon, Donor Snow Lady, please take a seat." Zen Master Daoji said with a smile.

"Thank you, Zen Master Daoji." Kikyo was not polite and sat down with Xue Li.

"Zen Master Daoji knows about us?" Kikyo asked doubtfully.

"The fact that the two female benefactors killed the Hagoromo Fox in Osaka Castle has long been spread throughout the entire Sakura Province cultivation world. It was a great achievement in saving the world! Naturally, I also know the two benefactors."

"The Zen Master has given me the award."

"I'm just telling the truth."

Zen Master Daoji smiled slightly, and then asked: "Why do you two come to this temple? If there is anyone who can help, I will try my best to help."

"Zen Master Daoji, I'm serious. Xue Nu and I just happened to travel here by chance and found something unusual in the temple, so we came to check it out!"

Seizing the godhead is a matter of outrage among humans and gods in the Sakura Province cultivation world, so it is naturally impossible for Kikyo to tell the truth.

"The donor of Platycodon is very considerate, I would like to thank you!" Zen Master Daoji said with his hands clasped together.

"Zen Master, you're welcome!"

"Excuse me, has anything unusual happened in the temple recently?" Kikyo heard the words and went straight to the topic without any nonsense.

After Zen Master Daoji thought for a moment, he shook his head and said, "It's been the same as usual in the temple recently, nothing is different."

"But... although everything is fine in the temple, many people are missing in the nearest cities. I also went down the mountain to investigate in person, but unfortunately found nothing!" said Zen Master Daoji.

"Oh, even Zen Master Daoji can't do anything?" Kikyo is a little surprised. This Zen Master Daoyi is not weak, enough to compete with masters such as Nura Huayou or Hanakaiyuan Hidemoto of the Nura group.

"Could it be that......"

"I am ashamed!"

"Zen Master Daoji, I have something to ask you here!"

"Donor Platycodon just said it's okay."

"Okay, I'm not being pretentious, this is how it goes."

......

Zen Master Daoji sent Platycodon and Xue Li all the way to the gate of Daocheng Temple, "I talked with the Platycodon donor today and I was quite touched."

"It's a compliment, Zen Master. It's just mutual improvement." Kikyo said goodbye to Zen Master Daoyi, turned around and left with Xue Li.

The two women walked until they were several kilometers outside the city. In ancient times, witches and monks were very respected professions, so the soldiers at the city entrance only asked a little, and Platycodon easily took Xue Li into the city.

After asking around along the way, Platycodon finally found their destination, which was a large mansion owned by a well-known local rich man. The two women looked for a deserted corner and jumped to one of the trees to sit down.

"Bikyo, how are you sure that monster will come to this rich man's house?" Xue Li asked curiously.

"After my conversation with Zen Master Daoji, I found that these monsters have a pattern and something in common, that is, they only commit crimes in one city, and their targets are the only daughters of rich people, and they all go to Daocheng Temple." Kikyo explained.

"But didn't Zen Master Daoji say that not only the only daughters of rich men, but also many common men and women also disappeared at the same time?"

"...Could it be that the other party wants to confuse the situation!" Xueli is a smart woman, and she quickly figured it out.

"Yes, this city is the only one nearby that has not had any trouble. The rich man has an only daughter. And my intuition tells me that the monster will definitely appear tonight."

"tonight?"

"Yes, we just need to wait and see."

"Okay! I listen to you."

Xueli held Platycodon's hand and slowly leaned her head on Platycodon's shoulder. Platycodon was just stunned for a moment. After thinking about it, it didn't matter if the two girls were like this, so she let Xueli lean on her. Seeing that Platycodon didn't object, she was cold. A beautiful smile appeared on his face.

Time passed quickly, and the two girls stayed in the tree silently until night.

"Huh? Sure enough, it's here!"

Things were pretty much as she expected. Kikyo breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on her lips. It was very likely that she would complete the task tonight.

A large black shadow suddenly appeared in the sky, and the air became heavy. Xueli subconsciously wanted to use her demon power to resist. Fortunately, Kikyo stopped it in time, otherwise the other party would notice it and escape.

Facts have proved that Kikyo was right, the black shadow did not notice the two women. Just when the black shadow was about to enter the rich man's house, Xue Li suddenly appeared next to the black shadow.

"The ones who are attached to me, freeze them! Let the uninvited guests feel the bone-chilling cold!"

"The cursed falling snow and the roaring wind!"

Xueli exhaled a powerful cold air from her mouth, which froze the shadow in just an instant.

"Xueli, get out of the way!!" Kikyo sensed that the power of the black shadow was increasing and shouted to Xueli quickly.

Xueli always trusted Platycodon grandiflorum, and quickly gathered a snow block in the air as a foothold. With one step, her body retreated in the opposite direction of the black shadow.

"Bang!!"

With a loud noise, the black shadow broke out of the ice. The black shadow transformed into a big black snake. When Xue Li's footing was not stable, it pounced on her with its mouth wide open. The foul-smelling green gas emanating from its mouth was extremely poisonous at first glance. Once bitten, the consequences would be disastrous.

Seeing this, Kikyo didn't have time to think too much, and immediately moved to Xue Li and stretched out her jade hand.

"Spiritual energy rebounds!"

The strong rebound force bounced the attack of the big snake back to itself, causing it to scream in agony and being severely injured. The black big snake transformed into a human form, with a fierce look in its eyes, and looked at Kikyo fearfully.

"It's you! Who are you? Why are you meddling in your own business?" the black shadow asked angrily in a hoarse voice.

"Huh, you're asking even though you know it!" Kikyo snorted coldly.

Whoosh! ! !

Kikyo's figure disappeared from the spot, and an afterimage moved in front of the black shadow.

"So fast!!"

Black Shadow's body couldn't react at all, and when he came to his senses, a pair of jade hands were already pressing on his body.

"Spiritual power bursts out!"

Platycodon's powerful demon-breaking power formed a powerful impact, hitting the black shadow directly. The demon-breaking power seeped into his body, constantly destroying his body. The extreme pain caused the black shadow to scream repeatedly, and his body finally collapsed.
