Chapter 149 Sesshomaru 11
Chapter 149 Sesshomaru 11
Qingyue gestured for everyone to sit down and asked Inuyasha, "Is Sesshomaru your enemy?"
He's also a half-demon. Could he be the one who plotted against Sesshomaru?
But he doesn't seem very smart. Does he have the brains to scheme against Sesshomaru?
"No...no, it's someone I hate." Inuyasha's eyes darted around.
Kagome stepped forward and explained, "Actually, Sesshomaru is Inuyasha's older brother."
"Kagome, I never acknowledged that guy as my brother." Inuyasha jumped up in anger.
Oh, they're brothers!
However, it seems that the two do not get along well.
Kagome introduced herself: "Hello, my name is Higurashi Kagome."
"I am Qingyue, and its name is Xi'en." Qingyue introduced Xi'en's name as if it were a common occurrence.
The group said their names one by one, which helped Qingyue remember them.
Qingyue took out the Shikon Jewel fragments: "You recognize this thing? What is its origin?"
Kagome subconsciously touched her neck, almost forgetting that Kikyo had already stolen the Shikon Jewel necklace she had collected...
"It's called the Shikon Jewel. It's a jewel that was created when the strongest priestess fought against a demon. Legend has it that it can grant any wish, and demons fight over the Shikon Jewel to make themselves stronger."
"Humans want the Shikon Jewel because it can fulfill their greed, desires, power, wealth, and so on. If used for good, the Shikon Jewel can be considered an object that is both good and evil?"
Qingyue asked, "Why do you want to collect it? Do you also have a wish that the Shikon Jewel can fulfill?"
"Hehe..." Kagome scratched her face awkwardly: "How should I put it? The Shikon Jewel was originally a complete jewel, but after it was stolen by a demon again, I accidentally shattered it. That's why I have to collect it all."
"Where are the fragments you collected?" Qingyue scanned the crowd, but she did not find any Shikon Jewel fragments among them.
As soon as these words came out.
Kagome and the others' expressions changed. Just a few days ago, they had almost completed half of the collection of Shikon Jewel fragments, but now they had nothing left.
Kagome said firmly, "We will take it back, we definitely will."
It turns out their fragments were stolen; it seems to be a powerful enemy.
Qingyue played with a small piece of the Shikon Jewel: "A priestess, a mage, a demon slayer, a half-demon, and two little demons—this kind of combination is quite rare. Why are you all gathered together?"
"Because we have a common enemy." Kagome was like their pillar of strength.
Qingyue: "Could you tell me the whole story?"
Kagome looked at everyone. Except for Inuyasha who scoffed, everyone else nodded in agreement. They had all witnessed Qingyue's strength; at least, they couldn't beat her.
Kagome: "It all started 50 years ago. A bandit named Onigumo was seriously injured and was rescued by the priestess Kikyo. He then developed a lust for Kikyo and sacrificed himself to a demon, becoming the half-demon Naraku we know today."
"Naraku, having become a half-demon, gained power and transformed into Inuyasha's appearance, causing Kikyo to misunderstand him. She sealed Inuyasha away, but she herself died on that day. The Shikon Jewel disappeared from this era along with Kikyo, until I came and the Shikon Jewel reappeared."
Miroku then spoke up, "My grandfather was also a sorcerer. Because of Naraku's curse, he had acupoints sealed on his palms. As he aged and used them more often, the acupoints were expanding. In a while, I will be swallowed up by the acupoints just like my grandfather. So I want to leave behind a descendant as soon as possible."
Coral also spoke up: "He possessed the body of the Lord of the Yin Blade City and invited my family of exorcists to the city to exorcise demons. As a result, we were tricked, and my entire family was wiped out, leaving only me..."
His younger brother, who had already died, was resurrected by Naraku using a shard of the Shikon Jewel and became a living dead.
Qingyue listened quietly, her fingers lightly tapping on the table.
They also knew who their common enemy was, the half-demon named Naraku. The half-demon who plotted against Sesshomaru was probably Naraku.
I never expected Naraku to be so cunning!
She's so cunning and manipulative; this group of people are really in a bad situation, but what does it have to do with her?
"And what about you?" Qingyue asked Ge Wei.
I haven't heard any stories of hatred from her.
Kagome smiled wryly: "Everyone says I'm the reincarnation of Kikyo."
But she is just Kagome, Higurashi Kagome. She is not anyone, and she is not a substitute for anyone else.
Qingyue understood the implication perfectly; anyone would be unhappy if they were treated as a substitute.
Moreover, the reincarnated soul is now a different person.
Those brain-dead men or women who claim to live long lives, saying they're waiting for their lover's reincarnation, are utter nonsense. That's not love at all; it's their selfishness at play.
Even when a god descends to earth to undergo tribulations and returns, he is no longer the same person. The world is different, his understanding is different, the people around him are different, his personality is different, everything is different. The idea of reincarnation is just self-deception.
If you don't cherish the present, what's the point of talking about the next life? Or rather, if you've already been destined for this lifetime, why talk about the next? The next life is yours to decide.
"Here, take this." Qingyue tossed the broken piece in her hand.
The Shikon Jewel landed in Kagome's palm: "Can we really have it?"
Qingyue was both amused and exasperated: "Didn't I already give it to you?"
"Oh right, thank you, Qingyue." Kagome covered the Shikon Jewel with both hands and said gratefully, "Thank you for trusting us."
"Miss Qingyue is such a beautiful and kind girl. Would you like to have a child for me?" Maitreya forgot the pain of being knocked away and instantly became frivolous.
Qingyue glanced at him sideways; he had the air of a playboy, and his tone was cold.
"If you keep talking nonsense in front of me, I'll sew your mouth shut with needle and thread, and let you experience what it's like to be mute for the rest of your life."
Maitreya swallowed hard.
This was the first time in his life he had encountered a tough opponent. The aura emanating from Qing Yue sent chills down his spine; she was definitely not just talking.
“I’ll shut up.” Maitreya pulled at his mouth.
"Hey, what's your relationship with Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha finally spoke up.
It's so strange that Sesshomaru, who clearly hates humans so much, would stay here and not kill this human woman.
Qingyue ignored him and asked Ge Wei and the others, "I also have a few questions, and I hope you can answer them."
Kagome: "Please speak."
Qingyue: "The half-demon who plotted against Sesshomaru, is it Naraku, the one you're talking about?"
Kagome thought for a moment and said, "We're not sure who plotted against Sesshomaru, but there was a time when a human arm was embedded in Sesshomaru's severed arm, with the Shikon Jewel on it, and poisonous bees were following him. I think it was Naraku who did it."
Sesshomaru's severed arm was originally smooth and flat, but now it has become extremely rough and even shorter. It must have been slowly devoured.
"So Naraku was the one who severed Sesshomaru's arm and seriously injured him?" Qingyue raised an eyebrow. This Naraku is something else.
