Chapter 1276 The Open Door
Inuyasha and his group sat on the deformed Aba and crossed several small countries, and finally arrived at a very remote place. Looking around, they were all active volcanoes with blue smoke.
"Is this the Kingdom of Fire?"
"Yeah, that's it."
Kikyo answered Maitreya's question. For some reason, her voice trembled slightly. There must be something she ignored. The closer she got to that place, the more uneasy she felt. But she just couldn't remember what was wrong!
"That's the poisonous insect of Naraku!?"
The coral riding on mica pointed at the distance not far from everyone, and several terrifying poisonous insects hovered there, buzzing.
"The most powerful victory is to monitor us."
No, not just surveillance, Maitreya found that the actions of these poisonous insects were more like inducement than surveillance. It seemed that these poisonous insects wanted to lead them to the place where the door was.
Maitreya couldn't help but start thinking about the meaning contained in Naraku's behavior: "Since the White Boy has not sent anyone to stop us, but instead let these most powerful victories induce us to go to a certain place. Then it is certain that White Boy should be the purpose of us to break through the door for him. But why? Even if we really go through the door and obtain the Four Souls Jade, does he have the ability to take it away from us? Or does he have the ability to enter the junction of this world and that world first when the door opens?"
No one answered Maitreya's question because they didn't know what Bai Tongzi was thinking. Now they could only follow Kikyo's guidance.
Soon, everyone came to the hinterland of the Kingdom of Fire. The poisonous insects that intended to induce them fell rapidly and finally disappeared into one of the volcanoes.
“It’s in that position.”
After the poisonous insects disappeared, Platycodon nodded, confirming that the route was correct. The white boy seemed to have no idea of doing anything. These poisonous insects were just a simple guide.
After confirming that there was no problem, everyone quickly descended and arrived at the foot of the volcano.
Behind a huge rock, a deep canyon appeared in front of everyone.
"Here? Underground?"
Kikyo nodded and said, "That door is not for living people."
Kikyo's voice was a little cold for some reason, and a chill suddenly climbed up the back of everyone.
"Ahem, no matter what, let's go down first."
Maitreya quickly proposed to act, fearing that he would be frozen by the chill if he stayed here for a while.
Everyone entered the canyon one by one. Shortly after everyone entered the canyon, a poisonous insect belonging to the white boy flew away here and headed to the cliff not far away.
There were the White Boy who had been waiting for Inuyasha for a long time and Kagura, who had been in charge of delivering the message before.
Bai Tongzi touched the poisonous insect and read the information he needed. Then he said to Kagura behind him with a proud look on his face: "Kagura, Inuyasha and the others have successfully arrived at the entrance of the door."
Kagura didn't understand Bai Tongzi's thoughts: "Is this OK? Let them take the lead. Aren't the fragments of the Four Souls Jade on the other side of the door?"
Bai Tongzi didn't explain, but said confidently: "Of course we will succeed!"
Kagura looked at Shiraki with his eyes hanging, as if he was looking at a fool. She really didn't understand where Baiko got the confidence that he could seize the Four Soul Jade from Inuyasha and others, just because Naraku was standing behind him?
The poor guy knew nothing at all. It was stupid to design someone who could even bow down with his shallow knowledge.
But she wouldn't say anything. What does Bai Tongzi's own death have to do with her? She just needs to save her life and try her best to explore Shirai Yue's purpose.
That is the path she is most likely to be free!
At this time, Inuyasha and others had gradually penetrated into the dark canyon.
Deep in the canyon is a very deep and huge cave. In the quiet cave, the footsteps of several people echoed in a somewhat creeping way.
Looking up at the top of the cave, Maitreya couldn't help but sigh: "It's so wide..."
“Because the door is big.”
Platycodon, who has been here once, told me the big reason for the cave.
"Large? Why?"
Maitreya was a little puzzled. If the souls were passed by, the gates of several people would be almost enough, right?
Kikyo recalled the words he heard by chance in the underworld, with a little uncertainty. She explained: "A long time ago, it seemed that the dead soul was not led by the messenger of that world, but needed to go to the underworld by itself. That door was likely to be the door for the undead of the entire Japanese-born at that time to go to the underworld! So the door was very big."
"seem?"
Inuyasha was a little curious. Kikyo rarely used such uncertain words, either not saying them or explaining them clearly.
Platycodon sighed.
"I heard this conversation in the underworld after I died. There is no problem with the source, but it seems that something happened to me, and I only remember a little bit of content."
The source of this information is Yan Luo, who is in charge of the underworld and the Lord of the White Jade Tower who is in charge of the underworld. At that time, the two were talking about how to manage more and more undead spirits, and mentioned this door a little.
Logically speaking, with her memory ability, she should be able to write down all the information about this door.
But in fact, she was in a very strange state at that time. Not to mention remembering, she couldn't hear all those words.
She recorded only a few words.
For example, some protection mechanisms of this door.
"Did you see more and more monster-like rocks on the ground?"
"Is it the stone paving leading to the front door?"
The nervous Inuyasha casually said an explanation that sounds unreliable.
"No... This cave is for the dead souls, and there is no need to lay stones at all. They are all monsters who want to break through the door but fail!"
Platycodon's words made everyone's steps stagnate.
"The monster has turned into a stone?"
"I don't know the specific ones. I only know that the door has the ability to turn the door breaker into a stone, and that the power of this world is impossible to succeed."
"The power of this world cannot be successful?"
If it was just the former, then everyone would not care too much, because they did not intend to break through the door for the time being. If they broke through the door, they would definitely be sure to win.
But the latter is very strange.
What is the power of this world?
"Is it true that the power we use in the world here is completely invalid?"
Maitreya's speculation shocked everyone. If you say that, this door is an inaccessible door for them!
Did Bai Tongzi ask them to break through the door in fact to get them all out?
No, this is not the point of the problem.
If this door cannot pass, what should I do if the fragments of the Four Souls Jade are placed on the other side of the door, and ignore it?
Just as everyone was thinking and struggling, they arrived at the end of the cave.
Two stone lamps that burned to the present for unknown reasons illuminated the entire cave, and an oval gate stood at the end of the cave.
A thick chain locked the door firmly, and in front of the door, a huge stone statue holding a weapon and level with a height of the door stood on the two stone platforms.
"Kikyu, you said it's hard to break through? But there's not even a guy who is guarding the door?"
“Aren’t you there?”
Platycodon's fingers moved gently and pointed at the two stone statues on the side of the door.
"If there are no door breakers, they will remain in this state, and if the door breakers appear, they will wake up and become the guards here."
"If it were just two guards, you shouldn't be able to defend this gate, right?"
Inuyasha still didn't understand. If the guards were these two stone statues, he could solve the problem alone.
"I'm afraid two guards are enough to keep here."
Maitreya looked at the huge stone statue with an ugly face.
"Don't forget, Sister Kikyo said before that the power of this life cannot be successful. I guess they are these two guards."
In the strict sense, the abilities of Inuyasha and the others are all the abilities of this world, which means that these two guards are synonymous with invincibility to them.
"Speaking of this, can't you just break the ball? If you don't care about the guards, you'll break the ball......"
Inuyasha's proposal just came out, and a vast and long-lasting voice began to echo in the cave: "Do you want to pass?"
"Who is it!"
The vast voice did not answer Inuyasha, but continued to ask: "Do you want to pass? Or don't you want to pass?"
Before Inuyasha could speak, Kikyo spoke: "We don't want to pass!"
Then, Kikyo took the entire team to a place far away from the door: "Don't break through the door rashly before the situation is unknown. Don't forget those stone statues, this door, there must be some dangers we don't know. It's better we wait until Master Shirai arrives before making a decision. My Shikigami has dissipated one day, Master Shirai should have arrived here."
As soon as Kikyo finished speaking, Kagome looked in horror at the direction of the door.
During the time when Kikyo was talking, an unimaginable change occurred in the gate!
The two stone lamps that illuminated the cave suddenly went out. As the light disappeared, the two stone statues standing on the stone platform suddenly opened their eyes, and then walked down the stone platform like a living person.
"How is it possible!? What we chose is not to pass!"
Even Kikyo couldn't help frowning at this moment. With their existing strength, their team could not resist these two invincible monsters at all. And for some reason, as the two guards woke up, a chill kept oozing out of her heart.
Finally, in the confusing sight of everyone, the guard spoke.
"You should pass through this door, the dead."
Accompanied by the guard's words, the door bound by the chains actually opened from the middle!
There is no need to break into the door or something!
The guard opened the door!
Chapter completed!
