live for yourself

Since Kikyo reunited with Ling, he took Ling away from Inuyasha and the others. Of course, Kikyo has entrusted the coral to them, so there is nothing to worry about.

After walking on the road for a long time, they finally came to a village. The two of them thought they had found a place to rest, but when they got there, they realized that something had happened.

This village is full of silt and water that has not receded. Most of the crops have died, many houses have collapsed, and even some trees are broken as if they were uprooted. Many people are busy cleaning up, and even Some people knelt on the ground and wept bitterly.

Even Kikyo, who has a lot of experience, can't help frowning when he sees this situation. It's obviously a flood, but Kikyo has never seen such a large flood, because he felt a strong vibration before Kikyo came here. If the deduction is not wrong, the shock should be caused by the flood.

"Flood? I didn't expect it to be so tragic." Kikyo sighed, and Ling on the side also felt the same way. Before meeting Kikyo, Ling watched her parents die with her own eyes. Ling knew this feeling very well, so Ling wanted to mourn for them at the same time. do something.

Ling recalled that Kikyo had taught her a passage about the past life, so she clasped her hands together and muttered.

On the opposite side came a group of people carrying a sedan chair, Kikyo could feel their great sadness.Not only Kikyo noticed the situation of this group of people, but even Ling felt it.Ling wanted to help them very much. Seeing the people below looking at the sedan chair with sympathetic eyes, Ling couldn't help but ran over and asked, "Hello, what's wrong with this sedan chair? Why do you all use it?" Looking at them sympathetically?"

The villagers were surprised when they saw Ling, and they pulled Ling and whispered, "Which family are you from? Why do you still stay here? Aren't you afraid of becoming a sacrifice?"

"Sacrifice? What do you mean?"

"Oh? Could it be that you are from outside the village? If that's the case, then it's no wonder." The villager looked at Ling and sighed deeply and said with a look of reminiscence: "We used to be a peaceful village, but There was a sudden flood half a year ago. At that time, many people lost their relatives. At that time, the water god appeared and asked us to use our children as sacrifices to him every time. Whose house was shot by an arrow, the child would be used. Become a sacrifice, or face floods."

"Just yesterday we were late in handing in the sacrifices, that's why we encountered floods. I don't know who the children on the sedan chair belong to. It's really pitiful, but how can we ordinary humans resist the gods, alas!!! "

Ling was furious when she heard this, and said angrily, waving her small fists, "What kind of god, no god would take a child as a sacrifice, this is clearly a monster, old man, don't be fooled by him."

The villager didn't say anything after hearing it, but shook his head and sighed: "So what, we are just ordinary people, and we can't fight against powerful monsters at all. Alas, we can only accept our fate."

Ling was about to say something after hearing this, but was stopped by Kikyo, who walked up to the villager and said politely: "This old man, although I don't know whether the other party is a god, but if there is such an evil god, I will have it." The obligation is removed, if you believe me, leave it to me!"

Seeing Kikyo's clothes, the villager knew that she was a witch, and hope suddenly rose in his heart. He knelt down to Kikyo and said, "If that's the case, please ask Miko to save our village."

"Don't worry, old man, leave everything to me!" Kikyo said after seeing the villager and helped him up.

Soon Kikyo led Ling to the crowd and blocked their way. Those people felt strange seeing Kikyo blocking their way, but they were afraid of being punished by the water god again for being late for offering sacrifices, so Then two young men came out and went to Kikyo, intending to send them away.

But when Kikyo came to the front, he said: "The so-called gods in your mouth must be the incarnation of monsters. If this continues, your village will be destroyed by him sooner or later. If you believe me, I can help you get rid of him."

After hearing Kikyo's words, all the villagers present carefully observed Kikyo, and found that Kikyo was wearing a priestess costume and holding a bow. Then they realized that she was a witch. The villagers who had been threatened by the water god saw Kikyo's arrival as if seeing a savior. The general existence, suddenly excited.

"Can Miko-sama really do that kind of thing?"

"If that's the case, then please take care of everything..."

The group of people felt hopeful after hearing Kikyo's words, and they all asked Kikyo for help, but at this time the person who looked like the leader stood up and said loudly: "Everyone, don't be confused by her appearance, she must be deceiving us."

"But Mr. Village Chief, it's okay to listen to Mr. Miko..."

The village chief showed great disdain for Kikyo and said, "Hmph, please, this woman of unknown origin, if you offend Lord Water God, it might destroy the whole village."

"Even if that's not the case, wait until it's my child's turn to ask the shrine maiden to exterminate demons...I'm ashamed to see the children who were sacrificed as sacrifices."

Ling was very angry when she heard what the village chief said, because it clearly showed that the village chief didn't trust her sister Kikyo, or even suspected it. beard.Ling turned her head angrily, just in time to see the curtain on the sedan chair being opened, revealing a masked child.

Could it be that he was the child who was sacrificed?

The child seemed to sense Ling's gaze, and closed the curtain in a panic.But this instead triggered Ling's sympathy.

"Before the sun goes down, it must be sent to the ancestral hall by the lake. Okay, hurry up, hurry up, don't waste time, do you want to suffer another flood?"

The villagers who were still hesitating at first felt a burst of fear when they heard the words of the village chief. The horror of the past flood still lingered in their hearts, so they lifted the sedan chair without hesitation and walked forward without hesitation.

"That village head is really weird, he seems to be looking forward to his own child as a sacrifice."

"Yeah, and sister Kikyo, you've seen it too. That child is so pitiful. We wanted to help but got in the way. Sister Kikyo, go and save that child!"

"Of course." Kikyo smiled at Ling and said.

"Are you serious?"

A child's voice came from the edge of the grass, Kikyo and Ling turned their heads strangely, and happened to find a little boy wearing a grass coat to hide his figure beside the grass.

"Of course, as a priestess, how can I not see this kind of thing."

"Then follow me." After finishing speaking, the little boy ran to the road, turned around and said to the two of Kikyo, "Hurry up and follow me, or I won't wait for you."
