My wife's name is Platycodon

But a problem arises, because Naraku can only become a real monster after killing himself.

This is a seemingly unsolvable paradox.

But Naraku's intelligence is not inferior to hers. A living person will not be suffocated to death by urine, and it is normal for him to use clones to divide his own emotions.

But Kikyo initially thought that Naraku would use the Four Souls Jewel to make up for his own shortcomings.

Now that she knew he had used other methods, Kikyo even suspected that Naraku had this idea from the beginning, and the reason why he separated out clones such as Kagura and Kanna was just to familiarize himself with this process.

She bowed her head and closed her eyes, calculating carefully, and then asked, "How many pieces of the Four Souls Jade are missing?"

Kagura said: "There are still six pieces missing... um, it should be counted as two pieces."

She remembered very clearly that Naraku had been speeding up his actions, searching the entire land in a short period of time, digging three feet deep into the ground to collect the Four Souls Jade.

"Why do you say that?" Kikyo was a little curious.

"Because one piece is in Inuyasha's hand, two pieces are on the legs of a guy from the demon wolf clan, and the last piece is in Naraku Castle, but Naraku didn't retrieve it." Kagura never expected Inuyasha to be able to keep the Shikon Jewel from the beginning, nor was she optimistic about the guy from the demon wolf clan.

This also meant that time was running out. She had worked so hard to get a piece of the Four Souls Jade, and she didn't dare to return to Naraku Castle, lest Naraku find out and wanted to give it to Jialuo - she had only met Jialuo once, and he had killed her once, and the two of them didn't know each other, so she should hate Jialuo very much.

But this guy who was indifferent to most things was the only one in her short life who regretted her death.

……

Fate was not kind to her.

Since she was born, Kagura has only seen the hell of Naraku when she opened her eyes. She is the product of Naraku's abandonment of his own humanity and is born to advocate freedom, but her innate complete personality and rationality allow her to quickly understand this truth.

Standing in the abyss without any control, no matter how hard you look up, you can't see a ray of light.

Shura of the Underworld, at that moment I really felt that I had been standing on the scale of life since I was born, but on the other end of the scale, there was nothing, no equal weight, so I could only feel that my life was falling.

After Kagura finished saying what she needed to say, she looked at Garo with a slightly complicated look.

Then the feather seemed to be blown into the sky by the wind, spinning like a breeze, which could not be seen or touched, but only felt gently on the face, but then disappeared in a flash.

Jialuo looked at Kagura's back. He didn't know what Kagura was going through, but he knew that she had done something that she thought was very important.

Kikyo and Jialuo looked in the same direction and smiled, "A very outstanding monster beauty."

She is a demon-destroying priestess and has never been merciful to monsters, let alone those who are related to Kagura and Naraku. They have the same aura, but in the end she has no intention of taking action.

This was not a mutual admiration between the two beauties, but she just felt that the monster named Kagura should not be killed by her.

Jia Luo glanced at Kikyo. He could more or less guess why Kagura came, but he had no obligation to help her.

It would be better if Kagura had long black hair, then at least he could give himself a reason to convince himself.

Instead of letting her leave disappointed.

Jialuo shook his head slightly and turned away.

Chapter 39: Onmyoji

"It's a pity that beauties have always had short lives since ancient times." Kikyo turned her gaze to the back of Gala and said again.

Jia Luo stopped, turned his head and said to Kikyo: "Even if you say this, I don't intend to take action."

"Eh? Such a cold man." Kikyo seemed to have discovered a new world and looked at Gala in surprise.

"But Garo, if you knew what Kagura was thinking when she chose to release the Four Souls Fragments, you wouldn't be like this."

Kikyo's smiling face.

Jialuo frowned slightly. He was helpless towards Kikyo. Did this mean that he wanted him to do something?

But he really didn't have any thoughts in this regard.

After all, he wasn't one to lend a helping hand.

This era is very bad. His kindness can only be used to maintain his bottom line. If he helps others without expecting anything in return, even just one thing, then there will be consequences that he cannot tolerate.

"Aren't you worried that Naraku won't be able to find that piece of the Four Souls Jade?" Jialuo changed the subject. Kikyo did say before that she needed to collect all the Four Souls Jade before she could completely destroy Naraku together with the jade.

So he didn't think about arguing with Kikyo now, otherwise he would be brainwashed by this witch.

Kikyo wants to save herself, so why drag him into it?

He did appreciate Kagura, but there were so many things worthy of his appreciation. Even a wild flower on the cliff would be favored by him, thinking that it grew in difficult conditions, but it also bloomed beautiful flowers. Not only was its perseverance commendable, but it was also very ornamental.

But Jialuo never thought of making wild flowers immortal.

Human desires are insatiable, more ferocious than floods and beasts, even monsters are deterred from approaching.

That is why we must keep ourselves pure.

He can do whatever he wants, but he cannot indulge himself without limits. This is his way of survival.

Kikyo looked at him and said gently: "The Four Souls Jade has never been important, but Jialuo, you will regret it."

Jia Luo immediately replied: "I never do anything that I will regret."

"And Kikyo, you are not allowed to influence my judgment."

He felt that Kikyo was going a bit too far. No matter how she arranged things for him before, he had never resisted much, because this was a matter between the two of them and anything could be discussed. He also tried very hard to respond to Kikyo.

Kikyo was silent for a moment. It was rare to see Jialuo lose his temper. He was generally easy-going and knew how to restrain himself. He would only rebound so strongly when his bottom line was touched.

Can he only accept himself at this time?

Jialuo quickly realized that his tone was a little excited, but he did not apologize or say anything else.

"Kikyo, I know what you're thinking, but even if you keep talking, I won't change my mind."

Jialuo walked away.

Kikyo was not angry either. Butterflies and birds appeared silently behind her. Kikyo asked herself softly, "Am I too anxious?"

She had originally planned to be resurrected, but the appearance of Kagura disrupted this plan.

But a wise man never drowns himself with his plans.

She thought that through Kagura, she could make Garo change his personality a little bit, or at least walk down from the audience.

Don't always act like it has nothing to do with me.

But Jialuo can understand the joys, sorrows, anger and happiness of anyone on the stage, but that's all.

He only does what he thinks is right.

"Lord Jialuo will understand your painstaking efforts in the future." Asuka said.

Kikyo glanced at Asuka and shook her head, "He has his own set of rules for dealing with things. They are complete and clear, enough to support him in facing anything, and he can still move forward unwaveringly. This is already very good."

Butterfly pointed her finger at her lips and stammered, "Lord Kikyo, don't you think you are too self-righteous?"

Fei Niao glared at Butterfly, and Butterfly suddenly felt as if cold knives were whizzing through Fei Niao's eyes.

But she ignored the ice cube. She was just expressing her thoughts. Lady Kikyo hadn't said anything yet.

The butterfly thought and made a face at the bird.

Butterfly: (～￣▽￣)

Asuka: (?▼皿▼)

Asuka wanted to beat her, but Kikyo was right in front of her, so she had to endure it.

Kikyo didn't care about Butterfly's offense. Jialuo had a special meaning to them. It was reasonable for her to recognize Jialuo as her father. One gave soul and the other gave emotions. Although the latter had always been slow, it was indeed he who enlightened these two Shikigami to think about their own emotions and life.

She is very open-minded: "Am I self-righteous? Maybe, but this is the meaning of me being by his side."

She caught up with Jialuo, and the two of them remained in a relatively quiet atmosphere until they arrived at Heian-kyo.

Ancient Kyoto was the center of power that ruled this land for hundreds of years, but along with its prosperity came lingering shadows and darkness.

Many legends were born here.

The most famous among them is naturally the strongest Onmyoji Ampere Haruaki.

Garo's name is still useful. It's not like he hasn't been here before. He once caused a big disturbance in Heian-kyō. There are many evils lurking in the shadows, but there's no need to mention these past events again.

As soon as he appeared, he caused panic among many people.

Kikyo and Jialuo ignored those people and went to the Onmyoji together.

A team of Onmyoji had been waiting here for a long time, about thirty or forty of them, wearing standard white hunting robes, black standing black hats, bat fans and other magical tools.

Everyone treated the situation as a serious enemy and took it seriously.

Jia Luo glanced at them and said, "I have no intention of cleansing Heian-kyo."

The Onmyoji has the same status as Confucianism in Japan. It possesses great power and therefore great responsibility, and is at the forefront of the fight against monsters.

As the leader of this generation, the Yin-Yang Head was naturally at the front. He looked middle-aged, around forty years old, but due to heavy pressure, wrinkles accumulated on his forehead and corners of his eyes. However, he was in good spirits, with a pair of deep and bright eyes.

Upon hearing Gala's promise, Yin Yang Head immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Jialuo's words carry weight and he never breaks his promises. These Onmyojis are not worried that Jialuo will kill ordinary people, but he has never been soft on monsters and practitioners. They are very worried that he is here to cause trouble for the Onmyoji.

"I don't know what you're here for?"

Kikyo said at this time: "I would like to borrow your place to practice, and I hope you can make it convenient for me."

She had a very kind attitude and used polite words. The Onmyoji was the second place where she practiced as a shrine maiden. Taking Gala with her meant reliving the past and walking the old path again.

The Yin Yang Head had long been suspicious of Kikyo.

"You are a witch, why can you stay by...'s side?"

He was halfway through his words when he saw that Jia Luo looked fine and spoke vaguely.

The legend of the Hades Shura was sensational, with new rumors spreading every few days. He gained a reputation through killing, and no one could ever get close to him.

"My name is Kikyo!" said Kikyo.

The Yin-Yang Head suddenly showed a look of surprise. He had heard of this name many times when he was young. The legendary witch was too brilliant and dazzling. She was passed down in the Yin-Yang Bureau for many years and only disappeared in the last two or three decades.

Just as any shrine maiden who has heard the legend of Tsuiko would not be called Tsuiko, any shrine maiden who has heard the name Kikyo cannot use this name as her own.

Their names themselves have a power similar to that of words.

Chapter 40: Future Trends

This is a symbol.

Even if the person with supernatural powers dies, there is still a magical power in the dark, spreading between heaven and earth.

If this name were to be spoken out, it might attract the covetousness of monsters, because any monster that has experienced that era would not allow a second Kikyo to appear on this land.

The Yin Yang Head was very surprised, but he did not lose his manners: "So it is Senior Kikyo. I heard a long time ago that the Four Souls Jade has reappeared, and for some reason it has turned into dozens of fragments, which are scattered all over the place and caused many disasters."

It is a well-known fact that the Four Souls Jade was taken to the underworld by Kikyo. It was entrusted to Kikyo by a group of priests in early years, and the Four Souls Jade has not continued to do evil since then.

And now, the appearance of the Four Souls Jade means that Kikyo's soul has lost the power to suppress it.

But these things are too mysterious, as if everything is destined.

But he hadn't reached that point yet. He just had a vague feeling but wasn't sure.

Kikyo was a shrine maiden who had been at the top fifty years ago. To be honest, she was his predecessor from the previous generation.

If she really returned to the human world because of the Four Souls Jade, then her realm must have reached an incredible level.

"Are you coming to the Onmyoji because of the Four Souls Jade?" the Onmyoji asked again. He could not sense Kikyo's condition, but felt that her behavior was very natural and her temperament was very elegant, like a living shrine maiden.

But he also knew that dust returns to dust, earth returns to earth, and Platycodon's life had long stopped.

Kikyo shook her head and looked at Jialuo: "The Four Souls Jade has a home, I am not here for it."

The Yin Yang Head followed her eyes and was shocked, because Kikyo's appearance was so shocking that he almost forgot about this great god.

"Please take a seat!" The Yin-Yang Head was very mature and steady.

The Onmyojis lined up in two rows, and the three of them walked through them, first entering the front yard and the courtyard. As a ruling institution, the Onmyoji had a very high status in Kyoto and was highly valued by the Emperor. The entire Onmyoji was naturally built in a very grand style, combining elegance and luxury.
