  "Who's talking? There's no one around here?"

Xie Jian looked around a little nervously.

Xiaoling, who was sitting on Mo Mo's back, also blinked her big curious eyes.

It is worth mentioning that Sesshomaru’s previous pet Moo Moo did not have a cushion on his back; but since he got Xiaoling, Moo Moo has become exclusive to the little girl, and has an extra soft cushion for easy riding. .

This also means that Sesshomaru's cold and hard heart is gradually softening.

"Pu Xianweng, what do you mean by this? Did you know that I would come?"

Sesshomaru led two young followers to an ancient tree that was a hundred meters high and had an unusually large crown.

When I saw an old face emerging from the tree trunk...

"Ah, dryad!"

Xiaoling was very surprised.

The evil view is extremely shocking:
  "Master Sesshomaru, who is this..."

"A hackberry tree that is over 2000 years old, an old friend of my father's."

The noble prince responded calmly.

The old face on the tree trunk also showed a smile: "Yes, my name is Pu Xianweng. The scabbards of Tiansheng Ya and Tie Suiya are both cut from my branches."

"Is that so? You are so awesome!"

Xie Jian took the opportunity to flatter him.

But it was also his true words.

I was even secretly cursing in my heart:

‘It turns out that the scabbards of the two knives are made from the branches of the tree demon transformed by this psychic ancient tree. No wonder the scabbards have incredible power. Seeing this situation, I can somehow understand it. ’

"So, Sesshomaru, you are here for your father's relic, Tetsuya, right? Or..."

Pu Xianweng's eyes always stayed on the noble young master.

But when he saw the two familiar scabbards hanging on Sesshomaru's waist:

"Huh? Why is Tie Suiya in your hand? And how can you use Tie Suiya?"

This was undoubtedly beyond his expectations.

When the old tree demon asked Sesshomaru this question, Sesshomaru's eyes couldn't help but shine, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly.

"It seems that you do know a lot of things."

As he spoke, he pulled out Tie Suiya from the scabbard on his waist and pointed the blade directly at Pu Xianweng: "Tell me everything you know! I don't think you would like to be chopped off by Tie Suiya too much." Branchy!"

Pu Xianweng: "..."

He was silent for a few breaths, and when he saw that the "naughty kid" in front of him was a little impatient, he decisively let go:

"Put down the knife, we have something to talk about."

It's just that the kid himself is not embarrassed at all.

Didn't those two cheaters, Ming Jia and Daodaozhai, hang the natural tooth on his body because he was very powerful and not afraid of offending the kid in front of him, and then guided the kid to come and get the knife?

However, it is another situation for this kid to hold Tie Shaiya.

He didn't want to be the target of Tie Suiya's absorption.

...

Sesshomaru took back the Tetsuya.

Then we got down to business:
  "Inuyasha, my half-demon brother, when he was cornered by a demon moth, the taste of his blood changed..."

"From the smell of a half-demon to the same smell of monster blood as my father and I!"

"You should know the reason, right?"

no doubt.

Sesshomaru, the tsundere, has been following his younger brother Inuyasha.

No matter what kind of thoughts this behavior comes from, there is more or less the meaning of elder brother like father.

As for the scene where Inuyasha transformed, he must have been seen.

In addition, after Inuyasha, who had awakened the demon king's bloodline, killed Motenmaru and all the bandits, he inexplicably sensed a mysterious aura, which was probably accidentally revealed by His Highness Sesshomaru due to his inner shock.

"Oh? The same monster blood?"

After Pu Xianweng muttered, he denied the young man's statement: "Your blood is not the same."

"It's different? How do you say it?"

Shadian frowned slightly.

"Inuyasha is a half-demon between humans and monsters. He cannot become a real monster. At least there is one thing that you can easily do Sesshomaru, but your brother Inuyasha basically can't do it."

"What InuYasha can't do?"

The look of doubt on your face became even stronger.

Pu Xianweng did not answer any more riddles and directly gave the answer:
  "The biggest difference between you is [maintaining yourself]! For example, Sesshomaru, no matter what situation you are forced into during the battle, your heart is always cold. You shouldn't lose yourself, right?"

"Huh, but I won't be cornered!"

Shadian had a stern look on his face.

joke.

With Tie Suiya in hand, who else in this land can push him to a desperate situation?

He is the only one who bullies others, and no one else can bully him.

Why was his left arm chopped off by Inuyasha a few months ago? That was just his carelessness... No, at that time he just wanted to feel the sharpness of the iron broken teeth.

"Hahaha, maybe that day will never come."

Pu Xianweng smiled and continued to talk about business without pouring cold water on this arrogant brat:

"But Sesshomaru and Inuyasha are different.

He is only half-demon.

When he is forced into a desperate situation and his life is in danger, in order to protect himself, the monster blood in his body will dominate his body and undergo changes. "

Hearing this, Sesshomaru fell into memories and thoughts:

‘Is this why the taste of blood changed at that time? ’

Pu Xianweng pointed out some hidden dangers of this change:
  "Although the resuscitation of demon blood can make Inuyasha significantly stronger, the blood of the great demon he inherited from your father is still too strong for his half-demon body! His half-demon heart will be destroyed by this. The monster's blood slowly eats away at it!

By then, even he himself will no longer be able to distinguish between friend and foe.

It will kill everything around it indiscriminately.

Then in the process of constant change, he completely loses himself and becomes a monster who only knows how to fight and destroy until his body is destroyed. "

"Your father definitely didn't want him to become like that, so he left Tie Suiya to protect him."

"And you? Even if you don't have Tie Suiya, you can still stand on your own with your own abilities!"

There is still a lot of on-demand meaning in Park Xianweng's words.

It's his business to say it or not.

As for whether you can listen or not? That was Sesshomaru's own business.

The natural teeth are peeled off from the broken iron teeth. As the material for the scabbards of the two knives, he knew something about this.

"In addition to being a sword of destruction, is Tetsuyasha also a sword of protection?" "Without Tetsuya's protection, will Inuyasha sooner or later embark on the path of self-destruction?"

"Hmph, only half-demon mixed with humans can be so miserable!"

"Ling, let's go..."

Shadian turned around and left here with his two young followers and many worries.

...

Southwest of Musashi Country, Yamashiro, the territory of the Hojo clan.

Speaking of the Hojo clan, their bloodline heritage is very long.

Dating back to before 1500 AD.

Decades ago, Hojo Hayun came out of nowhere. He was dormant in the early stage, but later achieved great results by conquering the two countries. He successively won the two countries of Izu and Sagami, and as the pioneer of the "Sengoku Daimyo", he became the first daimyo of the island nation during the Warring States Period.

In other words, this man can be regarded as the founder of the Warring States Period.

The rise of this man laid the foundation for the Hojo clan to dominate Kanto for more than a hundred years.

It is worth mentioning that he is also a powerful mage.

Part-time top military general.

Similar to a ruthless character who has both magic and skills.

His descendants, in compliance with the decree, expanded their territory to include half of Musashi Province, part of Shimoso Province, and half of Suruga Province. (That is, the large area south of Mount Fuji.) The surname Hojo has further become a dominant clan in the human world.

Five years ago, Hojo Yasushi came to power in the Hojo family. This man is also quite good at using soldiers.

Three generations of heroes have emerged in a row, which has made the Hojo family prosperous.

Of course, everything is based on the human world.

Does not involve the world of monsters.

Recently, as the family head and daimyo, Yasushi Hojo is worried about a resurrected demon sword in the clan's warehouse.

It turns out that since Li Xia took out the Blade of Kun from Bailing Mountain, the Hojo family invited many priests and onmyoji to work together to seal the Blade of Qian, and they became more and more dishonest.

"Master, because of that knife, there are traces of monsters in the city again, causing a lot of casualties."

In a large room, an old man dressed as a mage opened the door curtain and went inside to report.

The room was already full of people.

Mostly they are dressed as wizards or witches.

There are also priests and onmyojis wearing tall hats.

(Priests are civil servants who preside over national Shinto.)
  (Onmyoji is also an official position dedicated to serving the imperial power.)
  Small castles generally do not cultivate mages, witches, and priests. However, large clans and powerful forces based on the country, because of their vast territory, must face the harassment of monsters, and they will definitely cultivate their own teams of priests and onmyoji to deal with monsters and monsters in times of war.

What's more, the Hojo family is a family descended from a mage!

This house is the foundation of the Hojo family.

"Huh? Are there monsters again? How many casualties are there this time?"

In the room, the middle-aged leader frowned and asked in a deep voice.

His voice was majestic and had an aura of calm and authority.

"More than forty people died, and more than two hundred people were slightly or seriously injured."

The visitor should report truthfully.

After everyone in the field learned about the situation, a middle-aged man dressed as a mage immediately bowed his hands to the person above:
  "Master, it seems that we have to find a way to send the [Qianzhi Blade] to the holy mountain to eliminate the resentment and evil spirits on it. Otherwise, with the demon power that this demon sword continues to release, I am afraid it will attract more... Powerful monsters are causing trouble. Even though our Hojo family is not afraid of monsters of all kinds, we are still very troubled."

After the man finished speaking, several mages around him echoed.

Their abilities are limited, and even together they can't eliminate the evil spirit on the demon sword.

We can only send it to Bailing Mountain, the holy place in the hearts of all mages, to try to suppress it.

Anyway, for more than a hundred years, haven’t things that everyone can’t handle just been thrown directly into Bailing Mountain?

"Can't we keep the Qian Blade? This is an important thing left by ancestor Zaoyun."

The head of the family, Yasushi Hojo, scanned the area below.

"It's all my fault..."

More than a dozen members of the Hojo family looked ashamed.

Of course they also want to keep the Qian Blade, but they are more self-aware.

For the sake of the family's long history and the king's hegemony, he had no choice but to give up this demonic sword.

Seeing everyone's dejection, Hojo Yasu sighed secretly and stopped worrying:
  "That's all. However, it's still a bit inappropriate to just send the Qianzhi Blade away like this."

"What does the head of the family mean?"

"I want the more honest young men in the clan to take the Gan Blade to the northeast of Musashi Country, and try to attract as many monsters as possible who are interested in the Gan Blade from our Hojo clan's territory! As long as there is chaos there, If there is chaos, we might be able to take advantage of it."

Hojo Yasushi narrowed his eyes.

Everyone looked at each other for a while:
  "It's more than a hundred miles away, it's not that easy, right?"

"That's why we have to choose a child who is determined, honest, and has no ambitions or desires. With the simple seals we put on the Qian Blade, the child will not be easily controlled by the demon sword."

"The head of the family is still wise..."

"Okay, do you have anyone suitable to recommend?"

"Qiu Shi, this child is quite good. (The only one in his direct bloodline who has no talent for cultivation, it doesn't matter if he loses him.)"

"That child in Qiushi?
  you can!

In addition, two of you should go together at a distance to prevent other misfortunes on the road in autumn. As long as you send the people to the northeast of Musashi Country and complete this mission, you can return. "

Hojo Yasu ordered.

I hope this plan to divert trouble to the east will be effective.

In the original work, whether Hojo Akito ran north with the Ama no Hagoromo, or later ran towards the Maple Village with the Inari Blade, the intention behind it was not simple.

The Hojo family has never been a small family of cats and dogs.

The two generations before him were mages with both magic and skills, and were part-time top military generals.

There is a considerable degree of confidence.

...

Li Xia came from the northeast and happened to pass by Hojo Autumn.

When he saw the many details of the Hojo family, he couldn't help but take a deep breath: "No wonder in the later generations of the Dharma Ending Age, the practicing families are basically the continuation of the former dynasty families."

"It's no wonder that the Hojo family was able to obtain the Heavenly Hagoromo and the Stem Blade and hold these two rare treasures for decades."

After he arrived, he made a brief observation.

Discovering that the Hojo clan has a mage as good as Maitreya who is capable of becoming a master long ago... that's a lot to catch. Just among the members of the third and fourth generations, at least twenty or thirty people have reached the level of Maitreya.

The fifth-generation bloodline of the Hojo clan, who is the same generation as Miroku, also has many young talents.

Miko also trained a lot.

Priests and Onmyoji are the main force.

This does not include the many families and temples and shrines that rely on the Hojo clan.

"How did Hojo Akito in the original novel manage to be harmless to humans and animals?"
