Chapter 4 This is a big problem

Divine Tree.

In Japan, it refers to ancient trees or huge trees, while in China, it refers to sacred trees. Because of its age, trees were considered spiritual by people in ancient times, and burning incense and worshiping them was also a belief of people in ancient times.

Although in this era, the Himu Shrine had not been built around the Mishenmu, the Bone Eating Well near the Kanmu had existed since fifty years ago or even longer.

Of course, no ancestral hall was built around it, and this ancient well was enshrined, because at this moment, this ancient well was still playing a practical role rather than simply having symbolic meaning.

It is not about providing water sources or something, but about the villagers of Fengzhi Village living nearby, who will throw the corpses of some dead monsters into the well and deal with it.

The reason why the ancient well is called the well of bone food is that for this reason, the corpses of monsters thrown into the well will disappear directly after a period of time.

But in fact, it is not that the ancient well really "eats" the corpses of the monsters, but because the wood it uses is the wood of the Yushen wood next to it. The essence of the latter is said to be a tree of the era, which exists in multiple eras at the same time and has the power to interfere with time.

The skeletons of the monsters were not "eated", but were exiled in the well into the long river of time, quietly rising and falling in it, but there were also a very small number of corpses of the monsters who went to another era for some reason.

It's like what happened to Kagome Rimu.

This is also the real beginning of this story. A middle school girl in modern society was dragged into the Warring States Period five hundred years ago by monsters and was involved in various old grievances and disputes in her previous lives.

However, Mo Chen did not pay attention to this. He just knew that he had smuggled over with the shadow of Rimu Kagome, but it was also impossible to go back by himself.

He was not prepared to adjust his plan and time according to the other party's actions every time, so the only solution was to have a fragment of the Four Souls Jade-

That thing is the real pass, which can make people travel back and forth through the well of bone food between two time and space for five hundred years.

And if you only get a piece of fragment, then the problem should not be big. Mo Chen feels that he can definitely bear it now. However, it takes a long time to wait until the Four Souls Jade is broken?

It seems that it's only three or four days' problem... that's okay, he can afford to wait.

After jumping out of the well of bone food, Mo Chen called out a rapid airflow, and washed away all the remaining odor molecules in the well. The half-demon inherited the bloodline of the big monster of the dog tribe, and was the most sensitive to catching scents.

Even though this ability to capture smell has been greatly weakened because it is just a half-demon, it is still incredible to humans.

Especially in a narrow space like under the ancient well, where air is not circulating very much. If Mo Chen doesn't do this, the guy may find his traces in half a month.

This is not possible. Mo Chen has no intention of meeting them at all... After all, he did not come for the protagonist and his group.

...

...

The plots of cultivated land and the outlines of the ridges are vaguely visible in the twilight, and the night in the village seems so quiet and empty.

The chirping of insects came from the fields. After the sunset, the villagers returned home one after another and closed the doors and windows tightly. Apart from the slightest and faint conversation, only the blazing firelight shone out from the door gaps and window cracks in each household.

"...I have an older sister named Kikyo, who is the witch who guards this village."

The old lady wearing a wide witch costume, a kind-looking face, single-eyed and eye-blind sitting next to the fire pit in the room, stretching out a spoon to stir the steaming food in the steaming pot.

She seemed to be recalling some long time, her eyes were more stern than the ones she had during the day, and she was left with softness and sighs. When she turned to the black-haired girl next to her, she couldn't help but sigh.

"That was fifty years ago... When I was still very young, my sister died."

Rimu Kagome was slightly stunned, not knowing what good feelings should be said, and she subconsciously thought of what happened before. The old lady in front of her seemed to have said that she looked very much like her sister Kikyo?

"Why don't you eat?" The old lady, known as Grandma Feng, shook her head, then looked at the black-haired girl in surprise and asked.

"...Well, please at least help me loosen my hands first."

Rimu Kagome came to her senses, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly several times. Her hands were still tied behind her back. How could she eat?

It was really unlucky to say that she fell into the ancient well from the shrine hall at home and encountered a series of bizarre events that could not be explained by science. Not only did she find that the shrine disappeared, but even other familiar things seemed to become strange.

She came to the forest where she had no idea where it was. She was still on the Muji Tree, which was supposed to be a shrine. She saw a young man in red who was nailed to death by an arrow. The strangest thing was that the other party had a pair of dog ears on his head.

The girl who really wanted to touch and see did take action, but then she was discovered by the villagers in the village next to her and caught her.

I heard that they broke into the "Inuyasha's forest", which aroused their suspicion and hostility.

The old lady in front of her seemed to be a witch who had always guarded the village. It is said that fifty years have passed and she is indeed old, but she is a respected and truly a person who makes a decision in the village.

The villagers handed over the arrested Rimu Kagome to Grandma Feng for disposal, but fortunately, perhaps because the girl's appearance resembled Sister Kikyo who died fifty years ago, she finally did not encounter anything terrible.

However, although it is always safe, this should have been a peaceful day!

——And today is her birthday...so, why did it become like this?

Looking back on the strange things I have experienced from this morning until now, Rimu Kagome couldn't help but smile bitterly. This was really an extremely "full" day, and she had never tried such a exhausted feeling.

She rubbed her wrists that were tied back by the rope for too long and became red and numb, and she did not rush to pick up the wooden bowl and eat the food that Grandma Feng gave her.

Although she is already hungry, she still first asked her most concerned question at the moment.

"Is this Tokyo...?"

“…”

“…”

"Tokyo? Haven't you heard of that kind of place... is that your hometown?" Grandma Feng thought for a while and shook her head.

"Well, yes... It's almost time for me to go back..." Rimu Kagome showed an embarrassing and polite smile, but couldn't help but complain in her heart. The bad premonition seemed to have really become a reality. How should she go back?

After all, from today to now, she has thought of some problems, but she just can't confirm it yet.

——But now it seems... this is going to panic, and the problem is very big.

At this time, a scream and a strange sound suddenly came from outside, and for a moment, it seemed quite loud in this quiet village at night.

Grandma Feng and Kagome both subconsciously looked outside, showing a surprised expression. Then they looked at each other and put down the wooden bowl, and stood up and walked out of the house.

Bang!

As soon as Grandma Feng lifted the bamboo curtain at the door, she heard a heavy muffled sound, accompanied by a cry of sorrow. However, a horse fell from a high place and hit the land in front of her house heavily.

Not to mention the tragic impact, just looking at the horse's ribs being torn away from its body and seeing the tragic appearance of its internal organs, you know that it will definitely not survive.

It struggled hard to support its body and struggled desperately, but it couldn't get up. Its nostrils opened to its limit, and as the white air blew out, a trace of blood oozed out.

The villagers ran around in chaos and shouted, and the women were screaming and desperately searching for their relatives and children in the chaos. The men were all roaring, grabbing bows, arrows, swords, but more were holding hoes and pitchforks, and rushing towards the source of chaos-

The huge figure circled and rolled. Above the sky was a huge centipede with the lower body, and the upper body was a woman with six arms but only five intact, naked, at this moment...

No, it was tilting its head at this moment and swallowing the fresh and bloody flesh in its mouth in big mouths.

"Wait... is it the monster before?" Rimu Kagome was shocked. She thought she had gotten rid of the other party.

At the same time, the thing happened to see the black-haired girl's presence, and immediately became excited, circling his body and turning, diving directly towards it as if an eagle was hunting-

"Give me the Four Souls Jade!"

"The Jade of Four Souls?" The black-haired girl was stunned again. It was the name again. She always felt that she had a sense of familiarity, but she just couldn't remember it.

"What?! Do you have the Four Souls Jade?!" Even Grandma Feng was stunned. She thought it was just an ordinary monster attacking the village. How could that thing be involved?

That thing was obviously with Sister Kikyo fifty years ago... It was the thing she handled by herself at that time!

"I, I don't know..." Rimu Kagome replied with great confidence. It is undeniable that she really felt that the word was very familiar. She must have come into contact with this concept before, but she just couldn't remember it.

Could it be that when did I really get the Four Souls Jade?

"The target of this monster is me...I want to lead her out of the village, otherwise everyone..." Looking at the huge centipede monster blocked by the seemingly trained villagers and fell into a crazy state, Rimu Kagome suddenly realized that this would not work.

Although it seems that this is not the first time the villagers have encountered such a thing, the battle situation is still very unfavorable, and if it is delayed, there will be casualties.

"Neither gun nor bow nor arrows are useful!"

"I can only find a way to drive it into the dry well!"

"Where is the dry well?" Rimu Kagome asked subconsciously, vaguely having a guess.

"In Inuyasha's forest..." Grandma Feng fired several arrows to restrain the centipede monster, but after all, she was old and weak, and she was too exhausted to shoot one after another, and she couldn't help but panting.

"Is that glowing place?" I suddenly thought of the well and forest he came out of. The black-haired girl gritted her teeth and turned around and ran in that direction!

The centipede woman's eyes showed fierce light and did not tangle with the villagers. She twisted her long centipede body and chased her like a snake.

Grandma Feng was stunned. The girl could see the miasma in the forest directly?

At the same time, in the dark and quiet forest, the dog ears of the boy in red who was nailed to death on the Yushen Tree suddenly moved. Slowly, he, who had no life breath on his body, raised his head, opened his eyes and gritted his teeth-

"This smell..."

"The smell of the woman who killed me..."

"It's approaching here..."
