Chapter 138 Is There Such a Life (2)

——[After the cherry blossom viewing season passed, a visitor came to the Nagato family. Known as the miko of Waseda, she has been in charge of the Waseda Village Shrine for nearly forty years. In fact, this was invited by Nagato Sokon, because Naru Shenharu seemed to be feeling a little unwell recently. Nagato Tsuruko was waiting in the corridor outside his mother's bedroom, and Nagato Saburo was also anxiously wandering outside. The inspection took a lot of time. During this period, Nagato Munechika and his wife came to visit once, and some servants from the family also came over in batches. It was not until shortly after lunch that the bedroom door was opened. The witch came out with a smile and said that there was no big problem, but it was a good thing. 】

——["Pregnant?! Really!" After hearing the exact statement of the Waseda Miko, Nagato Saburo almost cried with joy. 】

——[Nagato Tsuruko knew that he would have a younger brother or younger sister soon, and his little eyes opened very wide. I have seen my aunt when she was pregnant. Her belly was getting bigger day by day. She felt that it was an incredible thing to have such a big belly and a little life growing inside. After the miko of Wasae came out, she was the first to run into Naru Shenharu's bedroom, put her little head in Naru Shenharu's arms, then raised her head and asked: "Really?"]

——["Tsuruko is going to be a sister. She can no longer be so willful. She has to be a role model." Naru Shenharu touched Nagato Tsuruko's head and smiled softly. 】

——[Nagato Tsuruko nodded seriously. 】

——[Actually, something else happened that day, and it was actually about Nagato Tsuruko. After the shrine maiden of Waseda completed the examination of Naru Shenharu, she quickly found Nagato Sokika and Nagato Saburo with solemn expressions, "I intend to train Tsuruko to become the next shrine maiden. I wonder what Nagato-sama wants? ”]

——[Nagato Sokon and Nagato Saburo looked at each other. Miko are respectable people who pray for the village, guard shrines, and ward off evil spirits. It is precisely because of the existence of the Zaodao witches that the villagers of Zaodao Village can live and work in peace and contentment. For thousands of years, the weather has been smooth and no problems have been heard of. Originally, Haru Narukami should have been the successor to Waseda Miko, but she later married Nagato Saburo. 】

——["Brother, it's up to you to make the decision on this matter." Nagato Saburo was silent for a while, and finally planned to hand over the decision-making power to Nagato Sokon as the head of the family. He knew that his eldest brother could make the most correct decision. Even if Nagato Sect Jin Wuchang funded him so that he could have the capital to go to the battlefield. Although he later came back from the battlefield disheartened, without achieving much success, and felt a little sorry for his brother's initial support, his brother did not say anything, but treated him as before. Nagato Saburo felt that he was owed something. 】

——["Tsuruko is your daughter, you should be the one to make the decision on this matter." Nagato Sokon shook his head and told Nagato Saburo to just consider this matter from his father's perspective, and don't make too big a deal about it. burden. 】

——["Miko-sama, is it because Tsuruko is Haru's child?" Nagato Saburo finally asked the question he wanted to know most. The miko of Wasae was respected, but he was not sure whether the miko would be resentful about what happened back then - after all, it was he who married Narukami Haru, depriving the miko of an heir. 】

——["Because he is Haru's child, it is naturally very important. But it is not the most important." The miko of Wasae nodded, and then smiled at Nagato Saburo: "Do you know something, Saburo-sama?" 】

——["Miko-sama, please speak."]

——["That kid, since last summer, he has been trying to climb the stairs of the shrine alone, and he has never given up."]

——[Nagato Saburo asked curiously: "Why?"]

——["Because of Saburo-sama." Wasae's shrine maiden said calmly, "I watch Tsuruko at the shrine every day. At first, she just wanted to prove herself. After all, Saburo-sama climbed here in the same way."]

——[Nagato Saburo smiled coquettishly, knowing that the miko of Wasae still couldn't let go of the fact that she married Naru Shenharu back then. 】

——[The shrine maiden of Wasae continued: "However, it is very rare for such persistence to appear in a six-year-old child. Moreover, Master Saburo does not think that Nagato Tsuruko would want to climb the stairs of the shrine. Is it also a kind of fate? I think it is not me who chooses her, but she chooses this path unintentionally. Of course, Lord Saburo gave Tsuruko life, and you are also qualified to decide what her future will be. ”]

——["I want to discuss this with Chun."]

——["It seems that it is not a wrong thing to entrust Haru to you." The miko of Zaoda showed a look of relief. 】

——[Nagato Saburo and Wasae Miko agreed on a time for reply, and asked the servants to send the miko away. He soon returned to his wife Ming Shenchun, and naturally there was a flurry of greetings. Nagato Saburo told Naru Shenharu about the miko's choice of Tsuruko, and wanted to hear his wife's opinion. 】

——["Last year when praying for New Year's blessings, the miko-sama asked Tsuruko privately about this matter." Naru Shenchun thought for a while. 】

——[Nagato Saburo had not come back at that time, so he was curious and asked: "What did Tsuruko say?"]

——[Naru Shenharu told Nagato Saburo again what Tsuruko said at that time. After listening to this, Nagato Saburo thought for a while before making a decision. Nagato Saburo grabbed Naru Shenharu's hand and said with a smile: "Then this time, let Tsuruko make his own decision."]

——[Nagato Saburo later called Nagato Tsuruko and told him the reason. It has been more than a year since the last New Year's blessing. Nagato Tsuruko has grown up a lot. During this time, she has continued to read, her horizons have gradually broadened, and she can now think about some things by herself. 】

——["Father, will becoming a shrine maiden make people respect you?"]

——["It is not because you have become a miko that you are respected, but because you have fulfilled your duties as a miko, you are respected. If you want to get something from the people, you must give the people something equivalent."]

——["Father, Tsuruko is going to the shrine to study."]

——[Nagato Tsuruko made an appointment to formally enter the shrine to study with the Waseda shrine maiden after the autumn harvest, and became an apprentice shrine maiden. This incident gradually spread and soon became a topic of conversation among people in Waseda Village. Hearing that Nagato Tsuruko was about to become a trainee shrine maiden, the children of the same age in the village began to drift away. Nagato Tsuruko later stopped sneaking out, only occasionally taking out the bamboo sword that Nagato Saburo made for her. Wipe it down. 】

——[Before Nagato Tsuruko officially entered the shrine, a happy event happened in the Nagato family. Nagato Shinji had reached his age, and Nagato Sokon arranged a marriage for him. Nagato Shinji married Axiu and became his wife on the last day of September. According to the custom of Zaodao Village, the elders should give gifts and blessings to a woman before she gets married. Axiu's parents were absent since she was a child, and she had been taking care of Changmen Hezi as she grew up. Ming Shenchun took the place of Axiu's parents and gave Axiu a sandalwood comb. Nagato Tsuruko said that she also wanted to give something to Axiu, but what could a child of her age give? Everyone thought she was just joking. Even if she really gave her something, it wouldn't be anything expensive, but Axiu was still very happy. After all, there is nothing more joyful than being able to get married after two people are happy. matter. 】

——[What Axiu didn’t expect was that what Nagato Heko gave her was actually the bamboo knife made by Nagato Saburo himself, and it was the night before the wedding. 】

——["Axiu Axiu! When your future child grows up, give him the bamboo knife! Tell him that I used this bamboo knife to defeat all the invincibles in the village! Let him not embarrass my aunt!" ”]

——[Looking at the appearance of the young lady Nagato Tsuruko, Axiu, who had just given her a heart-to-heart talk by Ming Shenchun and arranged her dress without crying, burst into tears because she knew that after the wedding, Nagato Tsuruko would I want to go to the shrine on the mountain. It will not be so easy to meet in the future. "Miss, Axiu can't bear to leave you!"]

——["Axiu is my sister!"]

…

——[Nagato Saburo carried Nagato Tsuruko on his back for about three more incense sticks on the way to the rear, and finally boarded the shrine and handed Nagato Tsuruko into the hands of the Wasae shrine maiden. Then she nodded silently towards the Waseda Miko, reincarnated and left. 】

——["What is that?" Nagato Heko suddenly asked, pointing to a stone statue in front of the shrine. She remembered that she did not see the existence of this stone statue when she prayed for New Year blessings the year before last. 】

——[Miko Wasae originally thought that Nagato Tsururo would be reluctant to leave Nagato Saburo and would at least cry for a while. Unexpectedly, instead of crying, Nagato Tsuruko looked around the shrine curiously, and she secretly praised her in her heart. He was even more delighted and introduced kindly: "That is the Inugami, the guardian spirit of my newly acquired shrine."]

——["Inugami, guardian spirit?" Nagato Hezi walked in and looked at it. 】

——[The Waseda Miko patted the stone statue at this time and called out: "Come out, Inuyasha! From now on, you will be Nagato Tsuruko's guardian spirit. You will never leave him in this life."]

——[The huge stone statue disappeared under a burst of light, and was replaced by a young man wearing a fiery red robe, with long hair, furry ears and a tail, but he was posing like a stinker. Looking at Nagato Tsuruko coldly, he said disdainfully: "Damn old woman, you want to drive me just because of this brat who doesn't even have hair? What a dream!"]

——[The shrine maiden of Waseda had long expected that this dog god would be unruly, and without saying anything, she directly put a chain of Buddhist beads around Inuyasha's neck, and then whispered into Nagato Tsuruko's ear. What. 】

——["Old woman, what are you bringing me!" Inuyasha intuitively felt that the chain on his body was very dangerous, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't take it off. 】

——["Sit down!" Nagato Hezi said suddenly at this time. 】

——[Inuyasha's whole body felt like it was being pressed by a mountain, and he knelt down directly. His sitting posture was still very upright, but his expression was surprised and weird. Obviously this was not his intention. 】

——["The witch said, if you don't obey, I can make you sit down!" Nagato Tsuruko looked at Inuyasha with a smile. 】

——[This kid...Why does he look so hateful? InuYasha thought bitterly, stood up with all his strength, and yelled: "Damn brat! You are looking for death!!!"]

--【"sit down!"】

——["Damn you brat!! I will let you know how powerful I am..."]

--【"sit down!"】

——["Damn little..."]

--【"sit down!"】

——["If you have the ability, don't rely on this..."]

--【"sit down!"】

——[Later, Inuyasha, the Inugami, returned to his stone statue form and squatted in front of the shrine. Speaking of which, Inuyasha, who turned into a stone statue of the Inugami, actually has the aura to scare away evil spirits, but that's if the knees of the stone statue of the Inugami weren't so swollen. 】

"Dead woman..." Zhui Feng shouted out the name uncontrollably again. When he met the young miko's eyes, he knew that this was an instinctive reaction coming from his body.

After awakening the Greedy Wolf Star, Zhui Feng had an intuitive understanding of his possessed state. The real InuYasha did not die or anything, he is still in this body, but his soul as the greedy wolf star is too powerful for InuYasha, but it completely suppresses him, only the emotional one Only then did a hint of it show up.

But at this moment, Nagato Tsuruko, who transformed into a demon fox... Meiji, with terrifying power, directly passed over the young miko and appeared in front of Zhui Feng and others. With a wave of her hand, thunder suddenly shot out, and at the same time Shoot towards Zhui Feng, Mo Xiaofei and Zi Xing!

The young miko's figure moved and she waved her hand.

However, in a flash, Mei Ji took Alex back from Zhui Feng and Mo Xiaofei, and suddenly a thick barrier fell around them.

The young miko frowned at this.

"You...are you really Changmen Hezi?" Zhui Feng frowned, a feeling of discomfort welling up in his heart. He wasn't sure whether the half-demon Inuyasha in his body felt anything during the process of returning the memories between him and Mo Xiaofei.

The young miko nodded directly, her calm look making people feel heartbroken. The young witch raised her hand at this time, and a ray of green light shot directly into Zhuifeng's body. Considering that he had awakened the Greedy Wolf Star, he didn't even react.

"Didn't I tell you that as long as you show up again, I will kill you." The young miko stared at Inuyasha with no sadness or joy, "You stupid dog demon, are you really not afraid of death?"

Zhui Feng was bathed in the green light. Not only did he not feel any discomfort, but he could also feel that this body was rapidly undergoing a strange change... his body became stronger!

"This...what did you do to me?"

"You will soon become a real monster and no longer a half-demon." The young miko glanced indifferently, "Don't forget your promise to obtain a hundred big monsters, go ahead!"

As soon as the young witch raised her hand, a divine wind appeared, but it blew directly on Zhui Feng and the others. In an instant, Zhui Feng, Mo Xiaofei, and Zixing were blown away a hundred meters away, and they were not blown away at all. There is no stopping the trend.

The young miko no longer looked at the disappearing figure. She looked at Mei Ji and said calmly: "Is he the Alex you mentioned?"
