Becoming a Demon King from Inuyasha

Although I was very curious and wanted to enlighten her, I felt it was not appropriate to ask.

At this time, Ye Men suddenly spoke:

"How do you feel? Are you feeling any discomfort?"

"No, is there any problem here?" Kagome subconsciously looked at the people beside her.

Both Kikyo and Yuzu looked normal.

"That's good."

Considering the barrier of Bailing Mountain, Yemen did not bring Yuyuko this time, but only Kagome, Kikyo and Yuura.

Afterwards, the corrupt Nagao Kagetora was found in a temple in the mountains of Echigo Province.

They were all girls with pure minds and were not affected by any barrier.

Ye Men was not at all surprised by this.

"There is a barrier set up by Master Bai Xin on Bai Ling Mountain. It can block monsters and make humans with strange minds feel uncomfortable. Only humans with pure minds can travel freely here."

Hearing this, Nagao Kagetora's confused eyes suddenly lit up, then disappeared in a flash.

"In that case, is there any problem with the night gate?" Kagome said with a chuckle, "If you feel uncomfortable, let's go back."

"Am I a bad person in your heart?"

"I wouldn't say he's a bad person, but he's not a pure-hearted person after all."

"If you want to talk like this, don't blame me for exposing your dark history in public."

"?? I have nothing to fear from my own shadow. I don't have any dark history that I can't tell."

"Really? Then I'm welcome."

Ye Men smiled evilly for a while, then said with a smile:

"When I was five years old, I was too tired from playing at night, so I moved into your room."

"When I woke up the next morning, I found the bed sheets were a little wet, and you insisted that it was me..."

At this moment, Kagome suddenly recalled her terrible dark history, her cheeks turned red instantly, and she quickly covered Ye Men's mouth.

"How long ago was that? What child hasn't had some immature experiences?"

"By the way, hasn't Master Bai Xin passed away a long time ago? Why does the barrier still exist?"

Seeing Kagome blushing and changing the subject, Yemen did not continue and said:

"This is a long story. Strictly speaking, Master Bai Xin is not actually dead yet."

"More than a hundred years ago, there was a monk named Bai Xin in the world. He had amazing magical powers and a kind heart. He spent his whole life doing good deeds."

"One day, he contracted a disease and lay dying on the hospital bed."

"The people he rescued gathered around him, begging, confused, and afraid. Without the protection of Master Bai Xin, how could they survive in this chaotic era?"

"For this reason, Master Bai Xin decided to become a Buddha in the flesh and continue to bless this land after his death."

...

...

"But when death was really approaching, Master Bai Xin suddenly began to get scared. Why did he have to die?"

“It was at that moment of regret that the door to Buddhahood closed to him, and his soul was forever imprisoned in that darkness, always wandering in confusion.”

"It's just one step away." Kagome fell silent, not knowing how to evaluate her lover Bai.

"So, Master Bai Xin's soul is still in Bailing Mountain?"

"No, to be precise, it is at the foot of the mountain, on the island in the middle of the big lake we just passed by. His body is placed there."

"The physical body is at the foot of the mountain? Then why is there a barrier on Bailing Mountain? Isn't Master Bai Xin too powerful?"

"Master Bai Xin should be considered the strongest wizard in the human race. As for whether he was so strong when he was alive or because he almost became a Buddha, it is unknown."

"In that case, why did we come to Bailing Mountain and not go directly to the island in the middle of the lake?"

"Who makes this side more eye-catching? Besides, I also want to take a look at Bailing Mountain before meeting Master Bai Xin."

Ye Men took out his cell phone and took a photo of Bailing Mountain, then said:

"If Master Bai Xin is awakened by us, he may become a Buddha, or he may be reincarnated. But in any case, the barrier of Bailing Mountain will disappear."

"The Bailing Mountain, which is regarded as a sacred place by humans in this era, will also become an ordinary mountain."

At this moment, Kagome fell into silence for unknown reasons.

After a long while, he finally spoke:

"Let's just go over there. Master Bai Xin... must be very tired."

"Alright."

Since no one had any intention of visiting Bailing Mountain, Ye Men naturally did not waste any more time and headed straight for the island in the middle of the lake.

On the island in the middle of the lake, there is an unlocked wooden house.

When I opened the door, I could see a wooden barrel.

Ye Men waved his right hand lightly, and a long whip transformed from spiritual power instantly destroyed the wooden barrel, revealing a mummy wearing a white monk's robe and sitting cross-legged.

The sight that looked like several corpses made Kagome tremble unconsciously. She stood silently at the door, not daring to move forward at all.

"Master Bai Xin...is he still alive?" Nagao Kagetora suddenly spoke.

"It's hard to say, probably somewhere between life and death."

Ye Men stared at the body of Master Bai Xin for a long time, but didn't notice any movement from him.

No breathing, no movement, it looks like a dried corpse.

At this time, Kikyo suddenly stepped forward and spoke slowly:

"Master Bai Xin, it's been more than a hundred years, and you still haven't let it go?"

"Even if you keep the deceptive holy land barrier open, your soul will not be saved."

Liar?

Kagome was stunned for a moment before she realized what she meant.

That’s right. People in the world don’t know the true story of Master Bai Xin’s death. Coupled with the magical effect of the Bailing Mountain barrier, they probably think that Master Bai Xin has become a Buddha.

That's why Takeda Harunobu led his troops all the way here to bring back the body of Master Shiraishin.

From this perspective, the so-called holy land of Bailing Mountain is indeed just a lie.

"Are there really people in this world who are not confused at all, who are not filthy at all?"

Although the body of their beloved did not move, an old voice rang in their ears:

“I had to be that person and try to be that person.”

"I understand your thoughts. I was like that before, trying not to get lost, not to make mistakes, and trying to be the perfect person in my mind."

Kikyo had a sad look on her face, with a hint of regret in her eyes, but her tone was more determined than ever before.

“So, I can understand your thoughts.”

“Everyone is confused, so they want to become noble.”

The silence lasted for two seconds, and then Master Bai Xin's voice sounded again:

“I failed to attain Buddhahood. My obsession with survival has caused my soul to fall into hell.”

"It is not shameful to shed tears for the love of life."

Kikyo gently hugged Bai Xinshang's body, feeling the sadness emanating from his soul, and spoke again:

"I can feel your sadness and the regret that you were just one step away from becoming a Buddha, but you have done well enough."

“…Yes, I am crying for my own weakness. I was clearly prepared to die as a saint, but I still backed down when the time came.”

"You are in great pain."

“It’s painful…”

Listening to the voice that sounded a bit like crying, Kikyo said softly:

"You have done enough, both in life and in death. Please set yourself free. Leave the rest to us who are still alive."

"Is this okay?"

"can."

"Then... I'll leave it to you."

The next moment, Master Bai Xin's body suddenly emitted a strong light, and then turned into countless spirit particles and gradually dissipated.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Ye Men was thoughtful.

If Master Bai Xin became a Buddha during his lifetime by going to Lingshan, then his becoming a Buddha this time was just reincarnation.

At this time, Nagao Kagetora suddenly knelt down on the ground and began to recite Buddhist scriptures.

After a long time, he finally stopped.

"Ms. Kikyo, can you also help me solve my troubles?"

"Okay." Kikyo responded and walked in front of Nagao Kagetora. "Tell me about it. Your troubles should not be as simple as your female identity being exposed."

"That is indeed only one aspect. I have been practicing Buddhism since I was young, determined to become a saint, and have always adhered to my own beliefs."

Nagao Kagetora looked down at the ground, his expression gloomy and his face full of loss.

"But that night, I suddenly heard a child calling me a human trafficker."

"After investigation, I found that many of my subordinates were trafficking people without telling me."

"I wanted to stop it, but everyone was against it, including my father and my brother."

"I went to investigate the people in disguise, but even ordinary farmers thought this was the right thing to do."

"They all said that the land in Echigo was barren and the output was too little, but the population was too large to feed, so they could only sell it to other countries. This was a good thing that would kill two birds with one stone."

"I tried to accept it, but no matter how hard I thought about it, I just couldn't accept it."

"Maybe they are right, but I don't think I did anything wrong."

"My identity as a woman was suddenly exposed, so I took the opportunity to run away."

"Anyway, my brother is still here in Echigo, so it doesn't matter if I'm not here."

"Actually, I've always wanted to be a wandering wizard..."

After listening to Nagao Kagetora's explanation, everyone fell silent.

Ye Men sighed softly and said thoughtfully:

“When you are out of tune with the people around you, it is natural to feel confused.”

"However, you haven't done anything wrong, and I understand why you don't want to go along with them."

"In this era, productivity is insufficient. Although Echigo is not short of money, it cannot buy much food."

"I brought back a lot of food from the world five hundred years later. I can share some of it with you."

"Also, I have been asking Mr. Xiu Yuan to lead a group to research plant growth-promoting spells these days. Although we have not yet achieved any results due to insufficient information on the spells, we have made some progress."

"When I unify the country, I will collect all the magic materials. By then, I will definitely be able to develop a plant growth-promoting spell."

Plant induced growth?

It turned out to be the case.

Nagao Kagetora's eyes lit up. If there really was such magic, no one would starve to death in the world anymore.

"Please let me lend you a hand!"

"Have you solved your problem?"

"Compared to Bai Xin Shang, my little troubles are nothing."
