Chapter 164 The Jade Pot in My Heart
"…We can’t let Zenitsu know…"
Listening to the old man muttering in a resentful tone, not long after, everyone had finished their tea and their thirst was quenched. It was time to satisfy their hunger.
With a look of regret on his face, old man Kuwashima stood up and said that the two of them came at the wrong time. If it were spring or summer, the Peach Mountain would be filled with the fragrance of fruits. Then he walked to the back of the house to prepare for tonight's meal.
Seeing this, Xuan Mi, who was sitting, put the owl aside and quickly followed old man Kuwashima, wanting to help the old man with limited mobility.
Not long after, the owl, which was particularly excited at night, ran out of the house by itself. After a sound of flapping wings, the wolf was left alone in the house.
Sitting on the cushion, the wolf, who had nothing to do, opened the light curtain with an intention. He had not paid close attention to the reward for killing countless evil spirits on the night a few days ago.
【Scattered beads x3】
【Gourd Seed x2】
【Lightweight purse x11】
Although he knew that those ghosts were just a bunch of rabble, Wolf frowned slightly when he saw that he was only rewarded with such a small amount after killing for a whole night.
Fortunately, Wolf had collected five Buddhist beads before, and combined with the three he had now, he had just collected the fourth and fifth beads. He then took out the Ghost Buddha that was a reward for killing the Jade Pot from his possession.
After hesitating for a moment, he placed it on the table in front of him, clasped his hands together and worshiped it. Several clusters of bright spiritual fire appeared out of thin air, circling and landing on the raised hands of the ghost and Buddha.
boom.
[The ghost appears]
Four large golden characters appeared in front of the wolf's eyes. The wolf then placed the fourth and fifth prayer beads on the ghost Buddha's hands respectively. Suddenly, the originally dimly lit spiritual fire ignited and flew towards the wolf's figure who was worshipping it.
The moment he was wrapped in the spiritual fire, the wolf seemed to be in a warm spring, allowing the water to wash over him and carry away the impurities in his body.
The wolf opened his eyes, slowly stood up, and jumped lightly. His body was as light as a feather. If the wolf had not controlled himself intentionally, he would have crashed through the ceiling.
Feeling the changes in his body, the wolf seemed to suddenly remember something and took out a ball of mist from the items he was holding.
【Battle Memory-Jade Pot】
Ever since he obtained this item, he has never had the time to use it to improve his combat effectiveness.
Now he was the only one in the room, and his vitality had just been greatly enhanced. He had used the Undead Slash more often, and now was a good time to use it.
Thinking of this, the wolf slightly clenched his hands that were holding the mist, and the white mist spread out from the wolf's palms, slowly floating into the air and wrapping the wolf.
The next moment, a white light flashed before his eyes, and then gradually completely occupied the wolf's vision.
His body became lighter, as if it had turned into an illusion, and then it sank and became solid again. Wolf subconsciously pulled out the wedge ball from his waist, and then he found that he was not trapped in the memories of the evil ghost's previous life as before.
Just as the wolf was puzzled, the white light in front of his eyes dissipated, and he looked around and saw the endless blue ocean under the azure sky. From time to time, flying fish and dolphins jumped out of the sparkling sea.
The wolf, who saw the sea for the first time, was slightly stunned. Feeling the soft sand under his feet, the wolf recalled the sea that Minako had once described to him.
…This is…the sea…
But just as the wolf was somewhat intoxicated by the charming scenery, a sudden streak of blood-red mixed into the blue sea.
The blood red continued to flow from the beach into the sea. In less than a moment, the originally beautiful sea turned scarlet and blood filled the sky.
The lively flying fish and dolphins were floating on the water with their white bellies turned up, but now countless ugly catfish were scrambling to devour their corpses.
In the distant deep sea, the hideous tentacles and the roars of sea beasts make everything seem extremely strange.
Seeing everything suddenly change, the wolf frowned deeply, clenched the wedge ball in his hand, stepped on the beach that had turned into dark and muddy, and walked towards the source of the blood-red.
But halfway through the journey, the wolf's pace gradually slowed down, and when it saw the source of the blood, even the wolf, who had witnessed the ruthless experiments conducted by the monks of Xianfeng Temple on children, couldn't help but frown.
I saw countless blood, flesh and bones mixed together in a huge scarlet pot. But upon closer inspection, I could vaguely see the arms of several babies struggling and waving in the meat paste.
A steel fork stirred this devil's cauldron, sometimes the desperate cry of a baby could be heard, sometimes it boiled, bubbling with blood and emitting a strong bloody smell.
At the back of the pot, a big hole was blasted open as if a monster had escaped from it. The monster's tail dragged a long groove on the beach, and endless blood flowed along the groove into the sea, polluting the blue sky.
Walking to the big pot, the wolf did not look down on it but gently stroked the scarlet pot with his prosthetic hand. Suddenly, countless white lights gathered from the pot and turned into a baby's small hand, which was gently placed on the wolf's arm.
The wolf was slightly stunned and was about to touch it with his right hand, but at this moment a fishy wind blew over and dispersed the white light that made up the baby's arm.
Watching the dissipating white light, the wolf's gaze slowly moved towards the direction where the fishy wind came from.
Above the scarlet sea surface, countless poisonous slimy fish gathered in groups, like a storm, enveloping a twisted and ugly half-fish body in the center.
The half-fish's body was tumbling on the sea surface. When it saw the wolf's gaze, it became even more excited. It let out a crazy and sarcastic laugh, and dived into the deep sea with the school of fish.
"..."
On the dark and muddy beach, the wolf held the large jar with one hand, silent, while his left hand reached into his arms to take out a red fire seed and crushed it.
The flame spread along the gaps in the prosthetic arm until it completely enveloped the wolf's body, and then ignited the vat along the wolf's arm.
In the raging flames, there were no cries of pain, only the clear laughter of children. As the vat was completely reduced to ashes, countless white lights flew out from it.
The wolf wrapped in flames also revealed its figure at this moment, but its brows were furrowed and its posture was like a yaksha. A ball of scarlet mist gradually dissipated from its raised hand, and countless white lights behind it merged into its body.
The three scarlet words [Yaksha Slaughter] appeared behind him. Wolf put down his raised arm and his face turned pale, but he didn't care. He took out another portion of [God's Flying Snow] from his arms and sprinkled it on his head, then rushed into the sea.
In the blood-red ocean, the wolf's body was as swift as a swimming fish, holding a wedge ball burning with two-color flames and rushing towards the place where the sticky fish gathered.
