In the dead of night.

Everything is silent.

The door of the room was gently pushed open, and in the darkness, a miko wearing white clothes and scarlet hakama stepped out gently.

She looked around the village, then turned back and closed the door without making the slightest movement. Just like that, near midnight, the witch left her house and walked towards the outside of the village. Although her movements were very slight,

I didn't realize that when I passed a room, the little girl inside was not asleep at all.

Xiao Ye has been thinking about what happened during the day, and she tossed and turned without falling asleep.

Although she got an answer from Sister Platycodon, her sister's worried look was something she had never seen before...it was all in the afternoon. That monk is not good!

Then at this moment, she happened to see the figure of the witch passing by the window.

Xiao Ye was stunned for a moment, her little heart suddenly jumped rapidly, and an uncontrollable thought emerged in her mind, and then firmly occupied all her thoughts - It's so late, Sister Kikyo is going to

Where are you going? Could it be... are you preparing to leave here?

The little girl couldn't lie down any longer and immediately got up. Without waking up her parents and younger brother who were sleeping soundly on the mat, she quickly walked to the door and looked out through the crack in the door.

She realized that she was not wrong, but that the witch sister was indeed walking towards the outside of the village. The slender figure was slowly walking through the fields, getting further and further away, and was about to disappear into the dark night.

.

Gritting her teeth, she quietly opened the door and tiptoed into the night.

…………

The night is silent and as dark as ink.

Under this night, Platycodon grandiflorum walked quietly on the path in the field, looking calm.

It's just that she didn't notice the little tail following her far behind. From this, it can be seen that she is not as calm as she appears on the inside, and she doesn't know what she is thinking. Otherwise, it would be difficult to imagine her

His perception would be so dull that he would not even notice a little girl following him.

Leaving the village like this, she walked into a forest in the dark night. Soon she came to an empty river bank. The witch stopped and looked around casually. She felt that there was a forest covering it. If there was any movement, she would wait.

, the village side should not be affected.

She listened to the gurgling sound of the river beside her, with a calm expression on her face, and gently raised one hand toward the sky.

The white clothes of the witch costume had wide and long sleeves, which slid down along with her movements, revealing her jade-white forearms. At this moment, some faint mottled light spots appeared in the night sky, echoing her movements.

Action.

They appear in the sky like fireflies flying on a summer night, heading straight for the river bank with clear goals.

After quickly approaching, you can see that they are five or six snake-like things with slender and graceful bodies. Their heads have delicate and small flying wings, and each of them firmly grasps a softly shining,

A ball of light with an illusory outline is flying towards this side.

On the bank of the river, the moonlight is bright.

These smart "flying snakes" came to the witch's side, circled around her several times, and dropped the light group they caught, which was caught by the witch's hand.

Platycodon's soul has been reincarnated a long time ago, and now it has become another person. During the resurrection, it was the ghost Litao who used her spiritual bones and tomb soil to bake the body, and used magic to extract the reincarnated soul to resurrect it.

, but in the subsequent fight, the soul was still taken back by Higurashi Kagome.

The shrine maiden who fell short can only leave with the resentment of her life. However, the incompleteness of the soul cannot last forever. She needs to collect the dead souls of girls to fill her body before she can act.

However, the dead souls will eventually ascend to heaven, and she cannot keep them in her hands forever, so after a short period of time, she will collect new dead souls...

"Poor dead girls, come to me." Muttering to herself, the witch carefully caught the light groups with a very gentle movement. Since they were the dead souls of girls, it meant that they were all still alive.

A girl who dies very young is indeed a very pitiful fate.

Of course, he was not qualified to pity them... Kikyo didn't know what he was thinking of, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on his calm face.

Shaking her head gently, she looked at the dead soul insects that were gradually scattering, and frowned slightly. One of the dead soul insects didn't come back. Did something happen?

And at this time——

"Miko girl, are you... going to die with your eyes open?"

A sudden hoarse voice appeared in the woods behind her, and Kikyo sighed softly. She recognized that it was the wandering mage who had come to preach to her this afternoon.

The other party still refused to give up. He was driven out of the village in the afternoon, and countless angry villagers threatened to beat him to death. But now, they still came to him. This determination can be said to be quite determined... There is no way to tell for sure.

I have been waiting for the opportunity since I left the village.

But my heart was not calm either, and I didn’t realize this...

Thinking this way, Kikyo looked straight ahead and saw the spacious and calm river surface sparkling with sparkling waves under the bright moonlight.

She did not look back, but said softly: "Master, can you please let me go?"

"Are you a dead person? Forgive me, I can't pretend I didn't see it!" Old monk Qinghai's voice became extremely serious. He had already made some speculations during the day, and now he saw the scene of dead soul insects collecting dead souls, it was even more serious.

After being convinced of this, the aura exuding from him became obvious, and he seemed to be about to take action.

Frowning, Kikyo felt a trace of unspeakable annoyance in her heart. She turned around and was about to continue saying something, but after seeing the old monk's appearance clearly, she couldn't help being stunned.

The old monk opposite stood there solemnly, and behind him were the young monks. However, they were in a much more embarrassed state now than during the day. The monk's robes on their bodies were torn into tatters, and even if they tried hard to tidy them up, they were still in a state of disarray.

It was damaged in many places and turned into pieces of rags.

The young monk had several bruises on his face, and the old monk also had one eye socket turned black and blue, and there was a piece of cloth stuffed in his nose, which seemed to be used to stop bleeding...

Even if he was standing there with a righteous and solemn look at this moment, holding the magic weapon in his hand, the aura of magic power fluctuating strongly, or showing an aura of uprightness and hatred of evil, it could not change this.

The embarrassing appearance... even forms an extremely sharp contrast.

Although the witch didn't laugh, she was obviously stunned for a moment, and the expression on her face suddenly looked very strange.

There is a flaw!

This is the moment!

His eyes flashed with light, and the old monk shouted loudly. He suddenly raised his hand and clenched the magic weapon in his hand. It was a spherical object, engraved with a dragon-shaped pattern, like a dragon wrapping around a pearl. Accompanied by

With the infusion of mana, the magic weapon blooms with dazzling light.

From the overflowing light, a dragon-shaped figure roared out and quickly grew in response to the wind, turning into an outline several feet long!

Although it was summoned in the form of a divine dragon, the summoned object used the same method as a giant python to strangle its prey. The huge dragon-shaped shadow suddenly wrapped around the witch who was caught off guard on the opposite side, and a claw also clawed at her.

Slender and graceful slender neck!

"Rest in peace, miko!"

The old monk shouted loudly. He felt the intense consumption of his own magic power, and he was also frightened. The terrifying level of the witch opposite him was far beyond his imagination! However, he did not intend to retreat, but continued to increase his strength.

The infusion of great mana.

"You can't escape the Soul Binding Technique! Just ascend to heaven! Don't miss this world anymore, I'm saving your soul!"

He yelled loudly, hoping that his words would have some effect, even just a little bit. As long as the miko listened a little bit, her mind was shaken, and she no longer resisted so much, it would be much easier for him to transcend the other party.

However...

There is indeed an effect, but it is a counter-effect.

After reacting, Kikyo's eyes suddenly turned cold, and even her tone rarely contained a hint of obvious anger: "Save me? - It's just you?!"

"Master, look here!"

Two voices sounded at the same time, overlapping at this moment.

At this moment, the old monk heard the sound of wind in his ears, and his eyes widened in astonishment. As soon as he turned his head, he saw a fist zooming in his field of vision!

On the other side, the witch waved her sleeves vigorously, and the huge divine dragon tightly wrapped around her body was instantly stretched open by the terrifying and huge spiritual power! And that's not all, even under the impact of the huge spiritual power, the entire body of the divine dragon

It was split every inch on the spot, as if it had been dismembered!

Instead of luminous fragments of flesh and blood shooting out in all directions, there seemed to be a rain of fragments by the river!

"Ah!"

The old monk screamed in pain, and his whole body flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground. The magic weapon in his hand also flew out, rolled on the ground a few times, and then shattered and cracked into pieces.

A few pieces... Of course it's not that it's of poor quality and was smashed, but that the mana dragon was directly shattered to pieces by the witch's spiritual power, causing the backlash.

"Ahhhhhhh..."

Seeing the old monk's decisive defeat, the young monk behind him was frightened, screamed, turned around and rolled into the woods, but no one stopped him.

"You...you..."

The old monk was extremely distressed. He immediately looked at the magic weapon that he had thrown away, but he didn't know that he had escaped. With his eyes turning black and blue, he raised his head from the ground and looked at that person in shock and anger.

I don’t know when the half-demon young man appeared, but he saw that the opponent had just enough time to retract his fist.

This is still the result of Gu Mo not trying his best, otherwise——

An old monk with an average physique is still so old. His 15 points of strength are really enough to punch someone to death, and their heads will explode.

"Master, why are you struggling so hard? I thought you had learned enough lessons during the day..."

Gu Mopi said with a smile. He did not look back at the witch behind him, but he could still feel the cold and low pressure emitting from Platycodon at this moment: "I was not stabbed to death by the villagers with a dung fork in the afternoon. I was able to run out.

It’s already pretty good, why do you have to think so hard about it?”
