[Inuyasha] Looking back at Chaoshan Heng

I squatted under a tree in the valley, watching the same monster walk past me for the fifth time, with a cold and cold demeanor.The pace was always unhurried, followed by a "little tail" who looked like a wrong style of painting in all aspects.

I looked down at the unchanged land in front of me, and I was silently struggling.

Now that the New Year's Eve is over, Naraku's body completed its "renewal" on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.I really felt his joy that day, a rare pure joy.

However, he didn't immerse himself for a long time, and soon started a new plan.It has been three years since I got along with him, and I seem to be able to see the epitome of his past 50 years from this period - becoming stronger, trying to get rid of the status quo of the body, and looking for all kinds of ... "fun" ".

For example, he mentioned one in his chats before: he was injured by a demon exorcist who was slightly stronger than him at the time, and it took some effort to escape.It happened that during that time he was rather boring, and then he used various methods to spy on the other party, and made the other party become more and more obsessed with him and more and more persistent.

When he found a new suitable power and was ready to find a way to seize it, he no longer had any interest in continuing to entangle.So in the end he left a "big gift" to the exorcising demon master, which no one's children or grandchildren could get rid of.

Although he didn't say anything more, judging from his expression, he knew that it was definitely not a good thing.

My perceptual ability has gradually and obviously changed over the past two years.At least until today, for the particularly familiar and strong breath—although I haven’t encountered a few so far—even though countless mountains and rivers are separated, I can more or less capture the existence of the other party.

At this moment, the most familiar and profound aura has faded like an illusion, and one can only vaguely judge the direction when searching carefully.

The monster named Naluo ran away by himself a few days ago, and he has often done this in the past two years, and he has become more and more familiar with it without any pressure.

I also enjoy myself.

This valley is called "Wan Song Valley" by the local people, because almost only pine trees grow in it, and most of them are extremely tall and strong.But in the demon world, this place has another name——

Absolute Demon Valley.

As the name suggests.

After squatting on the spot and waiting for a while, I covered my mouth and yawned.

There is a strange insect in the Valley of Absolute Demons, which lives on the nourishment of tree roots.They occasionally burrow out of the ground to absorb sunlight and convert nutrients into their bodies.

It is said that the moment they have absorbed enough sunlight and are ready to return to the soil, the surface of their bodies will change into brilliant halos and colors.It is a dreamlike magnificent color, and those who see it with their own eyes will not suffer from the disease for a period of time in the future.

But the time of their appearance is not fixed, and the dark brown shell is very similar to the soil, so it is difficult to find.

Looking up, I saw that the sun has already set to the west and nearly slanted. It is estimated that I will not be able to wait for today.After all, the bug called "Black Crystal" would never show itself at night.

This is the third day I've been squatting here, and I couldn't see any of them in the first two days.

But during the two days of waiting and searching, I also wandered around the valley.I picked up a lot of interesting things along the way, met several men and women with the same or different goals, found the famous hot spring waterfall in the valley, and heard three old people tell a legend about this valley.

... When the other party slowly approached for the sixth time, I was already as calm as a egg.

Finally, I stood up, took out the charcoal pencil and the specially cut piece of coarse cloth that I carried with me, and started to simply write on it.

[To leave here or find the demon who controls this place, you need to cut down the five largest trees in the middle of the forest. ]

When I walked in the direction of the visitor, I smiled helplessly in my heart.

Hey, I struggled with it for most of the day, and in the end I couldn't help but "mind my own business".

While the breath was getting stronger and stronger, the other party appeared in the field of vision not far away again.She has long silver hair, a delicate and almost feminine face, and three purple demon lines.The battle armor that binds the kimono has a kind of hardness and coldness that breaks through the softness, just like the impact of his temperament replacing his appearance.

This is completely different from a certain monster who likes to do face-saving projects. It is like a sharp knife that does not know how to bend and is unwilling to bend.

I stood on the side of the road where he was going, waiting quietly.

Watching him approach slowly, watching him walk away again.Then I leaned over slightly, and handed out the cloth in my hand——

Handed it to the green monster who was following him, looking at me unexpectedly and defensively.

The process of handing over the cloth strips and conveying my meaning was incredibly smooth.

The monster walked towards the center of the forest without even asking a word.

The attendant behind him was still raising his head and asking a bunch of questions, completely ignoring the frequency of his questions and my ability to respond.When he saw his master turn and leave, he shouted "Master Sesshomaru, wait for me" and chased after him.

I stood where I was, sighed, and smiled.

It really deserves to be a powerful demon, even if it couldn't break through before, it already has a feeling.

Trembling noble son, Sesshomaru.

That's one of my best friends in my previous life... I've heard her say it many times.What's more, in a certain sense, the appearance of these two brothers is quite distinctive, and with that too strong aura, there is almost no other possibility.

Absolute Demon Valley is not big, but it is definitely not small either.From here to the center, even if my current speed is much faster than ordinary people, it will take an hour.Although Sesshomaru and the others seem to be walking in a leisurely manner, their speed has already exceeded the scope of human beings.

Otherwise, with such a big valley, I wouldn't have seen him "pass by" six times in half a day.

Another name of Wansong Valley is Absolute Demon Valley.

As the name suggests.

"Extreme monster" does not mean that monsters cannot enter, or that monsters that enter must die.

Its special feature is that all demons or semi-demons who enter it will be absorbed very slowly by the demonic energy around them.

The scope of absorption is indeed only "around the body", and it has almost no effect on the abilities of monsters.However, this will lead to confusion of the monster's perception of the surrounding environment, coupled with some kind of guidance that seems to be controlled by external forces, the result is just like the one just now——

No matter how strong or weak they are, no matter what their previous ability to recognize the road is, they will all become road idiots.And uncontrollably, it circled around the middle and periphery of the valley.

==.

When I first learned about this feature, I thought the controller behind Absolute Demon Valley was definitely a joke.

Facts have proved that he really is a funny comparison.

When I arrived at the central area of ​​Absolute Demon Valley, everything had already been settled.

Only the shattered, torn, and fierce demonic aura remaining in the air can prove how big a battle took place here not long ago.

[Cool, come here quickly, I've been waiting for a long time (ーー゛). ]

It's just closer to the communication of "consciousness", but I can imagine the expression on the other party's face and combine them into subtle kaomoji in my mind.In the end, I rushed all the way to the destination with the spirit of speeding up at the end of a long-distance race, and I only had the strength to hold on to the tree and breathe.

When I was panting half to death, a figure quickly approached me.Reflexively, he released his right hand that was pressed against the tree, then flipped back and hit the wheel to the right.At a glance, I noticed that the place I pressed just now had turned into a soft ball, I twitched the corner of my mouth, grabbed the mental power I was trying to steal/transfer in my consciousness, and pulled hard——

"Aww! Awwhhh!!!"

A human figure appeared less than half a meter in front of me, and fell down to this side screaming.The corner of my mouth twitched uncontrollably, [Loose, since I saw Hei Jing, I will leave tomorrow morning. ]

"..."

The sound and movement stopped abruptly, and this time was enough for me to take three steps back, maintaining a relatively "normal" distance.

Raising my head slightly, I looked at the man a few steps away.Her long black hair grew straight down to her knees, and it looked like an overly rich dark green upon closer inspection.The pale leaf-colored pupils are almost white, as tender as a smear of green after the lingering snow in early spring.

Because of the previous emotional changes, his expression remained in a complicated dazed state at the moment.Shu Lang's facial features have a kind of sunshine-like comfort, which reminds people of trees, spring and vitality.

[…… cool,] Then his dialogue appeared in his consciousness, [Don’t be joking and scare me to death, yingying (?д?;). ]

The pine forest in the center of Absolute Demon Valley is relatively sparse, but there are five particularly eye-catching trees.The trunks are rugged and strong, breaking through the vast green pine forest, and the golden rooster is distributed independently like a pentagon.

I sat under one of the trees and gnawed a fruit.Pine trees account for [-]% of the Absolute Demon Valley, and there is only a miscellaneous forest in the southwest corner, where the fruits are picked.

Song stood beside another tree not far away, talking to Sesshomaru farther away, with a serious expression on his face.This reminds me of the first glimpse when I first met, although after the first glance, he became a complete joke.

There may be people in this world whose personalities are difficult to define and even have great contrasts, but this does not mean that they are good at acting.

Everything they show may be true.

Pine is a monster, like his name, Dryad.

He is also the "controller" of Absolute Demon Valley. To put it in a more understandable way, he is the big boss here.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of this year, I was dragged by Naraku to "absorb the essence of the sun and the moon".Although I have never been able to understand the logic of it, according to his words, it is the last renewal of the body.

So he and I spent the night in a corner of the cliff, and when we woke up at noon the next day, we found ourselves left in a strange village.

I am very calm.

According to what he left behind, and the reaction of the family I lived in temporarily, this is the outer edge of "Valley of Absolute Demons".

This place, I once heard other monsters mention it when I was out.When Naraku mentioned this place, his expression was very deep. According to the experience of getting along with each other over the years, he couldn't deal with this place ╮(╯▽╰)╭.

And there is a human city outside the Absolute Demon Valley, and there will be a big gathering in five days.

That's my destination.

Before the meeting, I decided to visit the Valley of Absolute Demons.

After a few days of traveling, I confirmed the strange and deliberate distribution of the breath, and walked into the center of the Valley of Absolute Demons.

——After realizing the existence of "breath", I also discovered that I could feel the breath of all the creatures around me, but I couldn't feel my own breath.

And Song, the demon who was sitting among the branches of the pine tree and looking down at me, was the only demon besides myself that I couldn't feel the breath of.

--[Who are you? ]

In this dimly lit valley, the moment our eyes met, I heard a strange male voice.It seems to be the sound transmitted from the brain to the auditory sense, weird, but extremely wonderful.

He didn't speak, and I couldn't speak.

But we can communicate through a more direct way than language, just like the collision of thinking.

"Cold, do you still want to eat?"

Feiyuan's thoughts were interrupted by a nearby voice, I blinked hard, and saw two fruits in one hand stretched out in front of me.

[Thanks. ] I thought in my head, reached out and took it, [You guys got it? ]

"That's right," he looked at me with a smile, "You found me a strong opponent, I almost died^-^."

"..." I silently took a bite of the fruit, his style is always miraculous, after all, I am soft-spoken, so I changed it to a more gentle way: [You don't like it? ]

I don't know what kind of agreement Song and Sesshomaru reached, but I remember Jiyou said that Sesshoumaru is a big monster who pursues absolute power.

And what about pine?

Even if we have only known each other for three days, sometimes the degree of understanding is not defined by time.

Just like that afternoon, he invited me to eat fruit: "As long as you want, you can stay here as long as you want, I welcome it ε(罒ω罒)з." He took the second fruit dropped by the bird, "After all , Whether it is an interesting 'similar' like you, or a real strong person, there are very few people who can come here."

When he said the second half of the sentence, there was a belligerent desire in his bones that could not be concealed.

I don't know if this is the instinct of the strong.

"Of course not, Sesshomaru is worthy of being the son of General Inu." He shook his head crisply, and after sighing, he took something in his other hand and changed the subject: "Are you leaving tomorrow?"

I nodded: [You guys are making too much noise. Just now I saw several black crystals crawling out from over there.] I shrugged, [It has already been completed, and besides, the market will open the day after tomorrow. I am afraid I will not be able to catch up. ]

"Oh." He threw away the unknown object he just got without changing his face, and fished another one out of nowhere, "Here, try it."

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the little black crystal that he threw on the ground, it turned around a few times as if it had fallen into a faint, and then crawled towards the root of the tree like crazy, trying to hold back the laugh: [This what is it ]

He handed over a slender bottle, the outer shell was even a little peeled.But the stopper was tight and there was no taste at all.

"I made a bet with the Monkey King on the wine brewed by the monkeys over there. He lost a few bottles to me. It tastes better than most of the wine I've ever had."

Monkey wine?

This kind of fine wine only appeared in rumors.

I swallowed, and closed my eyes sadly: [Thank you, I'll go back to drink tonight. ]

It turned into a cup of pouring magic horse, and I almost felt drunk before I drank it (ˉ﹃ˉ).
