live for yourself

A certain remote mountain village hidden in the high mountains and deep valleys, where almost no outsiders have set foot here, Kikyo found this village that has been forgotten by the world - Luminescent Village under the guidance of the dead soul worm.This is the entrance to the Netherland, where the legend of the blue star grass in the Seven Star Grass grows.

The old people sat outside the house with cloudy eyes; the middle-aged people sat on the ridges of the fields, and the farm tools were scattered around; even the active children were lying in the arms of their mothers, lifeless; There were even a lot of corpses piled up beside the road, and the whole village exuded a quiet breath of death.

"Master, what's the matter with the people in this village?" Cong Yunya saw the scene of the fluorescent village and asked Jijie.

Kikyo frowned. From the moment she stepped into the village, she felt a powerful evil spirit lingering in the whole village.She bent down and carefully inspected the fallen person, "It seems to have been poisoned by a demon." This kind of demon poison can take away the aura of a living person, causing people to lose their fighting spirit until they die. It is such a vicious poison.

"Cong Yunya, let's ask the head of this village to see if we can get some clues." Kikyo stood up and walked straight into the depths of the village.

"Hey, master, why don't we continue on our way? Obviously we will reach the Netherland soon..."

"It's not too late. We'll go find the Blue Star Grass after we've dealt with the monsters here."

"Master Miko, as you can see, our entire village has been cursed to become what it is today." The village head sighed again and again, with a helpless desolation on his face, "I don't know what happened, but suddenly one day It's become like this, and it's getting worse..."

"Village Chief, when did this situation start? Did anything unusual happen before?" Kikyo asked.

"This situation has been going on for five or six days, and nothing happened before..." After thinking for a long time, the village chief shook his head and said.

"Grandpa, you forgot, didn't the thunder and lightning just knock down the shrine? Could it be because of this..." The child standing aside interrupted the village chief's words.

"Shrine?" Kikyo looked at the child and turned to ask the village chief, "What's going on?"

"This kid reminded me..." The villager stroked his gray beard and suddenly realized, "That happened a few days ago. That night, there was a lot of rain, and there was thunder and lightning. Suddenly we heard a violent explosion coming from the direction of the shrine. When we went out to check with torches, we found out that the shrine had just been struck by lightning. We didn’t think too much about it at the time, let alone the shrine. I don’t know how many years it has existed, and I don’t know which generation established it. There are no mages and witches in the village, so it just disappeared in the end. Why... Could it be that the strangeness of the village is also related to the shrine being hacked?"

"Where is that shrine?"

"Oh, right in the center of the village, that pile of charred ruins is."

"It's such a strong demonic aura. It seems that this shrine should have suppressed a monster before. The shrine was destroyed a few days ago, and it took the opportunity to escape." Kikyo felt a trace of demonic aura in the ruins.

"Could it have done it? Master."

"I'm not sure, I can only wait and see. I think it will come back here again." The sharp-eyed Kikyo picked up an arrow that had been broken in two, and there was a faint trace of spirit left on it. force.

"This is?" Cong Yunya asked Kikyo curiously.

"It's a seal, but it's no longer valid." Kikyo put it back in its original place after finishing speaking, "Let's stay here for a few days and see if we can help these villagers."

That night…

Kikyo, who was in a light sleep, suddenly opened his eyes, is it finally here?

Picking up the longbow that was put aside, Kikyo followed the evil spirit to the ruins of the shrine.

"Witch, why are you stopping me!?" The scorpion trapped in the barrier flicked its scorpion tail angrily. The scorpion tail was blood-red and poisonous, but its upper body looked like a human man. "Let me out, let me go!" I am going out!!!"

"You poisoned it?" Kikyo asked lightly.

"That's right, I thought I was careless at the time, but I was sealed for hundreds of years in desperation, and I finally escaped. Of course, human blood must be used to commemorate my rebirth!" The scorpion demon said indifferently, "However, mere human beings can also Dare to imprison this uncle."

Kikyo didn't pay much attention to it, just took out an arrow from the quiver behind her back, put it on the bow, and aimed it at the scorpion in the barrier, the arrow was shining with a demon-breaking light.The bow opens like a full moon, and the arrow flies like a shooting star.The scorpion demon was purified in an instant, and it didn't even have time to let out an angry howl.

"My spiritual power seems to be..." Kikyo put down his bow and looked at the hole not far away that was bombarded by spiritual power.

"Master, when you were in the Asura Sea, you used the divine power to shape your soul, and then you used the purple star grass to infuse the soul. This should be the reason for your great increase in spiritual power." Cong Yunya, who was behind the platycodon, explained.

Kikyo nodded, just in terms of spiritual power, she has almost caught up with her life.

"Master Miko, what happened?" Hearing the voice, the village chief hurried over with a few young people.

"It's okay, village chief. I have eliminated the monsters entrenched here. I will prepare some herbs in the next few days. It is estimated that the village will recover in a short time." Kikyo said to the sweating village chief.

"Really... is this true?" The village chief was so excited that he was almost speechless, "Master Miko, thank you very much, you are the savior of our village."

"Just try my best." Kikyo shook his head and said.

A few days later, Kikyo detoxified the demon poison remaining on the villagers of Zhuoying Village, and then left.

"Master Miko is going to the deep valley in the north, so please take this Migu branch," the village head handed Kikyo a strange-looking branch.

"This is?"

"This has been passed down from generation to generation in our village. The valley is shrouded in clouds and mists all the year round. Only by bringing this Migu branch can we not get lost in it. In terms of the fact that Master Kikyo has helped us so much, we have nothing to repay us. We can only take this Migu branch Give it to you, otherwise, everyone will feel bad!" The village head insisted on Kikyo to accept it.

"That's it, thank you very much." Kikyo had no choice but to take it.

"Master, there seems to be an incredible power on this Migu branch..." Kikyo stepped out of the entrance of the fluorescent village and Cong Yunya said such a sentence.

Looking at the Migu branch in his hand, and looking at the gloomy valley ahead where the road is unclear, Kikyo led Cong Yunya into the Netherland without hesitation.
