[Comprehensive] Goddess of Bryan

After saying that the evil aura on the witch was similar to the aura in the cave, the others began to whisper.The villagers were all frowning, whispering to each other and shaking their heads constantly, while the ascetics were discussing what kind of evil could kill Miko Kikyo.

As I said earlier, Platycodon grandiflora has great spiritual power and profound practice, and is a leading figure among ascetics. Even because of her appearance, the originally declining shrine maiden has become a psychic and spiritual profession that can keep pace with monks and mages.Such a powerful ascetic would not have died so easily if he hadn't been attacked by a big monster. What's more, Kikyo is more stable than other peers who travel around mountains and rivers because of the uniqueness of guarding the jade of the four souls. Safety, her sudden death has long caused a lot of discussion in the world of psychics, and even the family of Onmyoji has become very interested in this matter.The Tsuchimikado family in Kyoto and the Asakura family in Izumo both sent people to inquire about the cause of Kikyo's death, and this time even sent core members of the clan to worship.

In name, it is worship, but in fact, I still want to find out the cause and effect of Kikyo's death.

At this time, after hearing what Bai Lan said, these psychics communicated with each other for a while, and sent a representative to stand up: "This lord, can you explain in detail what is going on?"

Bai Lan smiled: "Actually, I don't know exactly what's going on. It's just that my shikigami is very sensitive to these evil spirits. He told me." She raised her right hand, and the one that was standing on her shoulder The red bird flapped its wings and landed on her index finger, staring at these stupid humans with a pair of golden pupils.

That's right, it's a look.

The representative of the ascetic felt inexplicably that he saw a mocking look in the eyes of this little fat bird.

Thinking about some shikigami's intelligence, the ascetic didn't think much about it, he just pretended that he was blind, didn't notice the bird's eyes, and only focused on his amazing-looking master.

"My shikigami told me that the evil energy left on Mr. Kikyo's wound is very special. Although it is very faint, it can still be distinguished from ordinary monsters. He just went around the village and found a cave on the back mountain. , the evil aura there coincides with the evil aura in Master Kikyo." Bai Lan looked at the pale girl Feng, "I went to check and found that it is indeed so. Can Feng explain, what is that cave for? I saw some traces of human activity inside.

Immediately, everyone's eyes turned to the younger sister of the priestess Kikyo, and even some ascetics' eyes were full of suspicion.

Some villagers who noticed this couldn't help it immediately, stood up and argued loudly for Feng: "Are you suspicious of Master Feng?! That's where Master Kikyo rescued the ghost spider!"

"Ghost spider?"

"A robber." The villager was impatient, with an expression of not wanting to recall, "Accidentally burned all over his body and fell off the cliff. If Master Kikyo and Master Feng hadn't kindly rescued him and took care of him for several months, he would have died a long time ago. .”

"So, where is the current robber?" This time, the questioner was the gorgeously dressed young man that Bai Lan had noticed before. From a close distance, he could clearly see the shape of the pattern on his face - there was a vertical line on the bridge of his tall nose. , along the narrow and long eye contours, the pattern spreads downwards, and finally draws three small circles like tears.

He looked at Feng with very calm eyes, and his voice was low and soft.

"...Suddenly disappeared a week ago." Feng lowered his eyes and replied in a low voice.

The gorgeous young man fell into deep thought.

At this moment, Feng suddenly remembered something, and called out softly, which immediately attracted the attention of others.

The little girl opened her mouth to say something, but immediately closed her eyes when she saw the villagers. Seeing this, the ascetics understood and found an excuse to leave.

When all the ordinary villagers in the village dispersed, these monks, mages, exorcists, onmyojis, and witches appeared from every corner.

This time, Feng didn't hold back anymore, frowning and said frankly: "Sister Kikyo said...maybe a ghost spider... was eaten by a monster..."

The ascetics were silent.

No wonder Feng hesitated in front of the villagers just now, that there are monsters haunting the mountain behind the village guarded by the shrine maiden, which can be said to be a question of the shrine maiden's ability, not to mention that this is not an ordinary shrine maiden, but Kikyo.

"Could it be that monster who ate the robber and turned back and killed Master Kikyo?" A witch guessed, but she immediately denied herself as soon as she said the words, "Impossible! Master Kikyo is definitely not so easy to be killed by monsters." people!"

Bai Lan listened for a long time with her chin resting on the side, and then yawned lazily: "Actually, the easiest way is to find out the source of the evil spirit and ask if it's enough? Did it kill the bellflower, or was it something else? Isn't that the fastest way?"

"Lord Bai Ren is right." Someone immediately agreed. This person is an onmyoji wearing hunting clothes and leather boots. He embroidered small patterns with gold thread on his collar, which is said to belong to the Ma Cang family.

Seeing him, Bai Lan couldn't help but think of that ghostly child of King Ma Cangye, and wondered what he looked like now.

Feelings slipped through her mind, fleeting, Bai Lan quickly withdrew her attention and focused on the current matter.

No one else had any opinion on Bai Lan's proposal. The question was who should investigate this matter.

Don't say let these psychics join forces, don't say that the techniques of each school are different, if you really want to mobilize them all, it will make the outside world mistakenly think that something big happened here in Fengzhi Village.

In the end, after some deliberation, the investigators selected by the crowd were Bai Lan and the gorgeously dressed young man. Others called him "Master Yaolang". The proud ascetic respected him very much, so he knew that even a drug seller was definitely not ordinary.

As for Bai Lan, it was purely because Maple Village was under the jurisdiction of Hitomi Castle, and she was the first to discover the same suspicion of evil.

As a teammate, Yao Lang is very worry-free, quiet and doesn't talk much, Bai Lan said to go to the cave first and then take a look, he nodded in agreement without saying a word.

When going up the mountain, Bai Lan saw that he was wearing wooden clogs and was carrying a heavy wooden box on his back. She thought that he would have difficulty moving, at least his pace would be slower. Unexpectedly, he seemed to be walking slowly and quickly, and he walked easily. Keep up with her rhythm.He didn't know what was in that big wooden box, and as he lifted and lowered his footsteps, the things inside jingled.

All the way to the Houshan cave without words, there is a natural inward depression, the hole is not big, not too deep, a few steps inside, and then down a few layers of stone steps to the end.

There is a straw mat at the end. The straw mat is scorched black, as if it has been roasted by fire, and there are some people's footprints around it.

Standing outside the cave, you can't quite see it, but when you walk to the straw mat, you can clearly see an ominous evil spirit lingering on the pitch-black straw mat, faintly present, appearing and disappearing from time to time.

Bai Lan stood aside, watching Yaolang squat down and kneel down on one knee, his bony fingers brushed across the surface of the straw mat, lifted it up, twirled it, and then sniffed.

"See anything?" Bai Lan asked.

Before she said that she came to see it, she was just making it up casually, but Eluo Wang swore that he was right and used the name of Eluo King as a guarantee. he.As for why it was revealed in front of everyone...

Of course it's fun.

The famous witch died innocently, what kind of secrets are hidden in the dark cave, who killed her, and where did the robber named Ghost Spider go? Please watch...

No, it's a joke.

Bai Lan cut off the narration in her head, walked to the silent Yaolang, knelt down and imitated him, and touched the cold straw mat with her hands.

"This is..." Yaolang opened his mouth, the corners of his upper lip turned up slightly, "evil thoughts."

"Evil thoughts? Isn't it evil?" Bai Lan glanced at Fat Chirp who was squatting on her shoulder, and the latter immediately stared back, with the words "You still don't believe me?!" written all over his eyes.

"It's the evil spirit gathered by evil thoughts." Yao Lang suddenly raised his head, looked at the top of his pitch-black head, "It was eaten."

Bai Lan immediately followed his train of thought: "The robber was eaten by a monster? Did his evil thoughts attract the monster? Is the robber alive or dead now?"

She folded her hands on her knees, with her pointed chin resting on the back of her hands, and her thick and dense snow-white eyelashes trembled like the wings of a white butterfly. The elf flew away.

Yaolang's voice was even more subdued: "Humans die, and new monsters are born."

The truth is clear.

"That is to say, the robber that Kikyo and the others rescued was the culprit. One of his evil thoughts attracted the monster, and he was eaten by the monster as a human being, and then he was born as a monster to attack Kikyo." Said. Looking at Bai Lan, she couldn't help laughing, "Is this the monster's version of the story of the farmer and the snake?"

Even if you haven't heard the story in her mouth, you can easily guess the content of the story just by hearing the name and then contacting the current incident.

Yao Lang thought for a while expressionlessly, then turned to look at the silver-haired woman: "Can you, find that monster?"

If Abe Seimei or Asakura Yewang were here, they must have more than one way to track down the monster. Unfortunately, Bailan only learned how to eliminate demons and summon shikigami from Qingming, and she was taken away before she could learn more advanced divination. Arrived at Dajiangshan.At this time, looking at Eluo King again, he shrank his body like a ball and stopped talking, obviously he didn't light up this skill either.

Getting the answer from her expression, Yao Lang sighed softly, stood up, and put down the big wooden box behind him.

Under Bai Lan's curious gaze, he opened the bottom drawer of the box, and a small metal object floated inside...

"This is a balance?" Bai Lan looked at the golden object, and felt that it would be a waste to call it a balance. The texture seemed to be made of gold, with white shells adorning the wings and inlaid with three kinds of red, blue and green. A gem of a different color, it looks as gorgeous as Yakuro himself.

The bottom of the golden balance was sharp, and after floating in the air for a while, it stopped on the tip of Yaolang's outstretched index finger.After a while, the balance suddenly tilted to one side, and at the same time, there was a jingling sound, which immediately made Bailan understand what was the thing that was jingling in the box when Yaolang went up the mountain just now.

The tilting direction of the balance was fixed, and after Yaolang deliberately turned his body sideways, he still stubbornly fell towards the entrance of the cave.

"Over there." Yao Lang stood up, and the drawer at the bottom of the wooden box closed in response. The balance also suspended itself in the air at the same time as he withdrew his hand, but the direction of the tipping remained unchanged.Even when Eluo Wang flew up and stood on the upturned end, he still remained motionless.

"Let's go." Yao Lang picked up the wooden box and looked at Bai Lan. Seeing that she was still squatting on the ground, he hesitated for a moment, then reached out his hand to her.

If there is a way to save effort, it is natural to choose the one that saves effort. Bai Lan grabbed his hand and stood up.Contrary to his cold appearance, the medicine seller's palm was warm and dry, and probably because of the perennial handling of herbs, there was a thin layer of calluses on the knuckles.

With her hands folded, Bai Lan looked natural, but Yao Lang was taken aback again, and immediately withdrew his hand after confirming that she was standing still, pulled the strap of the wooden box, and walked out of the cave, Tian Ping naturally floated out in front of him.

Yaolang's balance is like an automatic pathfinding device, it floats forward tilted all the way, even the Eluo King squatting on it doesn't need to flap its wings, just squat on it.When it reaches an intersection, or after floating for a while, the balance will automatically stop, stop in place for a moment, deflect a few angles, or simply the whole weighing pan rises left and right, and tilts on the other side.When the direction is found, the balance will float forward again.

Along the way, I met two villagers from Maple Village. The child held his mother with one hand, and pointed at the golden balance floating in the air with the other hand and the red fat chirp on the balance: "Mom! Bird! Little bird!"

Eluo Wang raised his eyes and gave the child a cold look, but unfortunately, the cold eyes that should have been placed on a round bird had no deterrent effect at all.

Not only the child yelled excitedly, even his mother couldn't help laughing.

Following Tianping all the way, Bailan chatted with Yaolang indefinitely. She said it was chatting, but she talked a lot. Questions like shikigami.

When the last one was asked if he had a shikigami, he finally had a helpless look on his expressionless face: "I'm just a drug seller."

Bai Lan smiled, and winked at him: "Shouldn't medicine sellers have shikigami? Let's help you sell medicine together."

"..."

Seeing Yaolang's handsome face painted with red patterns genuinely showing a wry smile, Bai Lan burst out laughing.She bent down laughing, patted the young man's shoulder, and it took a long time to recover, with a smile still on her face: "You have always been expressionless, I thought you were facial paralyzed."

As always, it was a new term that he had never heard of, but Yao Lang still easily understood the meaning of the silver-haired girl.

His expression returned to calm, but strands of silver light were reflected in those blue eyes, stained with a little genuine smile.

Unknowingly, the two of them, a cat and a bird, walked out of Maple Village.

It was Bai Lan who discovered this first. Why did the scenery in this area become more and more familiar?

After walking for a while, she suddenly discovered that this was the road leading to Renjian City!

The road between Renjian City and Fengzhi Village is straight and there are no forks. Could it be that the monster is in Renjian City?

Thinking carefully about Renjian Castle, there are indeed no powerful ascetics at present. Bai Lan brought Mr. Madara and King Eluo to worship Kikyo, and Huan Bang escorted Master Mifa to Watanabe Castle. Ordinary samurai are not opponents of monsters. What's more, if the monster really killed the witch Kikyo, it must be very cunning.

Bai Lan paused for a while, and Yao Lang found out.He glanced at the dirt road straight ahead, turned his head and asked in a low voice: "What?"

"This is the road leading to Renjian City."

"..."

Hearing this, the drug seller also frowned, and the red pattern on his eyes moved slightly with his expression.After observing for a long time, Bai Lan finally determined that it was not painted with ordinary cinnabar, but more like a tattoo than a smear.

"Renjiancheng..." He pondered for a while, then looked at Bai Lan, "Can I go?"

Bai Lan was taken aback, then laughed and asked, "Why can't you go?"

"it is good."

So, it was settled.But before they set off, the two still had to go back and talk to Feng.

As soon as I walked back to the village, several villagers ran towards me, yelling:

"Master Feng!"

"It's bad! Someone broke into the forest where Inuyasha is sealed!"

"Master Feng!!!"

"Feng—Kar!" The leader suddenly saw Bai Lan and Yao Lang standing at the entrance of the village, the call stopped abruptly, and with a turn of his toes, he came straight towards them.

Compared to the panting villagers, Bai Lan and Yao Lang looked very calm.When the villagers calmed down completely, Bai Lan asked, "Who is Inuyasha?"

The villagers who had just recovered their breath were suddenly asked this question, and almost lost their breath. After coughing for a long time, they blushed and stammered: "That's...it was sealed by Mr. Kikyo..."

Feng hadn't mentioned this before.

Bai Lan and Yao Lang looked at each other, and smiled at the villagers: "We don't know, it's best to tell Feng first."

This time, the villagers didn't need to rush to find someone by themselves, the little girl had already walked out quickly with the other villagers, and when she saw Bai Lan and Yao Lang, a trace of embarrassment appeared on Feng's face.Bai Lan was still smiling, but her eyes were a little cold: "Master Feng, this is a bit too much, isn't it? Master Yaolang and I are running around, in order to find the real culprit who killed Master Kikyo, but you deliberately concealed some important clues... Feng Does Your Excellency really want to find the murderer of your sister?"

Pressing down on these words, Feng suddenly panicked, and denied it aloud: "I didn't! That's because..."

The purple eyes are gorgeous and cold, pressing heavily on Feng's body.

"That's because Inuyasha is my sister's lover!"

After I really said it, it was a lot easier.

Feng breathed out, clenched his fists, lowered his eyes and begged in a trembling voice: "Please...don't tell anyone else."

A witch who specializes in exorcising demons fell in love with a half-demon, and it would be a great detriment to the reputation of that witch if it was spread, and it would be ridiculous if she died because of this.

After getting the guarantee from Bailan and Yaolang, Feng completely relaxed, and while walking to the place where the half-demon was sealed, he told them the real reason of Kikyo's death.

To Bai Lan's surprise, Kikyo was a cold, powerful, compassionate and just witch in the eyes of other ascetics, but such a woman fell in love with a half-demon to death, and even agreed to use the jade of the four souls to turn the half-demon into a human being. Live like a normal person.

"My sister went out with the Jade of the Four Souls that day, but she came back seriously injured." Feng said with a sullen little face, "Later, Inuyasha came to snatch the Jade of the Four Souls and was sealed by my sister. Died from his injuries."

"We thought it was Inuyasha who betrayed my sister... Maybe..."

Unfinished words disappeared in the wind.

A sudden warm wind rustled the surrounding leaves, and also frizzed the long hair of the girl standing on the protruding tree roots. The dark brown hair swirled to the side, shining in the broken shadows of the colorful leaves. There are traces of golden light.

She was lying on the tree trunk with her hands raised high, and there was a young man with silver-white hair under her body. The young man was handsome, and he seemed to be sleeping with his eyes closed, with a calm and gentle expression, and a pair of snow-white dog ears on his head.

Now the dog ears are being gently rubbed between the fingers of the brown-haired girl.

Hearing the footsteps of a large group of people from Bailan's side, the girl turned her head suddenly, with panic on her face that she was caught doing something wrong.

It seems that this is the intruder, and the silver-haired boy whose ears are being "cracked" without knowing it is the half-demon who Feng said fell in love with the witch——

"Inuyasha!" Feng beside him exclaimed, looking nervously at the brown-haired girl.

Immediately, a villager next to him shouted, "Who are you?! Come down!"

"Hey?!" The girl looked dumbfounded, her big eyes widened in a daze, her hands were still resting on her snow-white dog ears and she raised them in an unembarrassed manner.

Right at this moment-

"Scarf girl?!!!"

The little red bird on Bai Lan's shoulders suddenly flapped, opening its pointed beak and uttering human words.

"This name..." The panic on the brown-haired girl's face turned into shock, "This little fat bird is actually King Eluo!"

Bai Lan was on the side, and almost saw the name "Little Fat Bird" turn into a huge boulder and hit Eluo King's head, making his waving wings stiff, and the whole bird almost fell down.

Xiao Feijiu simply shook his body, stood strong, raised his head angrily and yelled at Bai Lan: "Hurry up and turn me back!"

Bai Lan ignored him and looked at the brown-haired girl who was also looking over.

As soon as the two hit each other, the brown-haired girl let go of her hands, jumped off the tree roots, and ran towards Bai Lan, "Bawei!"
