"That's all." Kikyo looked at the little girl who was refreshed in front of her and nodded with satisfaction.

She was wearing old clothes from Feng, and her hair on her right was tied into a braid, which was much cute than before, with a disheveled hair and dirty face.

It was just because the clothes were too big, and half of the sleeves were hanging in front of her hands.

"Do you have a name?" Kikyo squatted down and gently stroked her head, helping her to fix her sleeves.

"Ling..." the little girl said softly. Although her voice was very small, her eyes no longer dodged.

"Your name is Ling, right?" Kikyo smiled and reached her hands under her armpits, holding her whole body in her arms, "A nice name."

"My name is Kikyo. You can call me sister or sister Kikyo."

"Yeah..." Ling nodded shyly, "Kankyo...Sister..."

"What a good boy." Kikyo put her down, "Are you still hungry? My sister takes you to eat something."

Ling's eyes suddenly became conscious, but after hesitating for a moment, she shook her head again.

She opened her mouth and issued several unclear syllables. After saying it several times, she finally made a sentence.

"I can't do anything."

Ling said discouragedly that her sentences were still a bit obscure, but they no longer hindered normal communication.

"It's okay, you don't have to do anything." Kikyo grabbed Rei's hand and said, "Let's go."

Kikyo wanted to take Ling to the kitchen and make something for her to eat, but as soon as she held her hand, a cold feeling came from her fingertips, which made her pause.

"This is...what's going on, why are your hands and feet still so cold..."

She discovered this when she was bathing Ling. She thought it was just a blood deficiency or qi deficiency caused by Ling's long-term malnutrition.

But now it’s less than a stick of incense to finish taking a hot bath, and now it’s summer, and it can’t become this temperature again in just a few minutes.

Kikyo was puzzled. She squatted down and put her forehead on Ling's forehead. However, what was coming was not the normal body temperature, but the cold touch like a stone.

"What the hell is going on..."

"This feeling doesn't look like a living person at all, but rather like a corpse..."

Kikyo was reluctant to use this word to describe a little girl who was only six years old, but the touch she felt at this time was indeed very similar to the cold corpse.

During the Warring States Period, there were many people who died every day. As the most famous witch in the neighborhood, she was often invited to do rituals to save the dead.

The process of salvation is also relatively simple. Generally, when the dead accumulates to a number or a fixed date, she will recite a thought of the Book of Speech, and then use her spiritual power to purify the resentment surrounding the corpse.

During this process, it is inevitable that there will be contact with the body, so she is quite familiar with the touch.

But how could this little girl who can jump and jump in front of me be a corpse?

"What's wrong, Sister Kikyo?" Ling asked in confusion.

Kikyo's expression just now suddenly became very serious, which made her a little scared.

"It's nothing, I just want to see if Ling has a fever." Platycodon's face regained a gentle smile.

"Did Ling have a fever?" Ling Shui Lingling's big eyes blinked and her head tilted, "When she was sick, Ling would feel dizzy, but now Ling doesn't feel dizzy at all."

"Ling is very healthy and doesn't look sick at all." Kikyo took her hand again, "Let's go, my sister will take you to eat first. Only when you eat full will you grow taller."

"Um."

Ling's mouth raised slightly, and she followed Kikyo toward the kitchen. The braid on her head swayed as her body swung.

But Kikyo didn't have the heart to pay attention. She cast the spell quietly, and Ling's four souls appeared in her eyes.

"This is..."

After seeing the situation clearly, she felt like a huge rock fell in her heart, raising huge waves.

"How could this kid be?"

The four souls are the souls. If they are staying in the body, they become the heart. It can be said that in this world, the four souls are the most essential existence of a person.

The four souls of ordinary people are closely connected to the body. If the body is compared to hardware, then the four souls are software. Without the four souls, the body becomes an empty shell without consciousness, which is what the world calls death.

Ling's condition is very special. Although her four souls are still living in her body, they are close to each other and seem to be about to separate.

Kikyo quickly activated his spiritual power to apply a sealed barrier, forcibly pulling both.

But this is just a treatment of symptoms but not the root cause. Her barrier can only be delayed for a while. This body is slowly moving towards death...

"Has this child's soul...been separated from his body for some reason..."

"If this continues, it will be seven days faster and ten days slower. At that time, her body will collapse because she cannot adapt..."

Platycodon is helpless, and birth, old age, sickness and death are natural laws. With her ability, she can only do this at most.

"At least... let her live carefree for the remaining days..."

Kikyo grabbed Ling's hand tightly, as if she wanted to lend her own warmth.

................

Jiang Yu took everyone back to the shrine. He has been cooking here recently. The food made in places with abundant spiritual power will be more fragrant, and occasionally there will be some small buffs that increase experience value.

Of course, Inuyasha is still in custody. As for Tsubasa, she said that she would recover faster here and have already had enough sleep. She might as well rest here and wait for the meal before going back to bed.

Feng poked his head and observed everywhere. After not seeing Kikyo's figure, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is Kikyo that scary?" Cuizi came out.

"My sister is gentle when she entertains outsiders, but when she entertains me, she always uses this."

Feng stretched out his right slap and shook his whole body. The fear was already deeply engraved in his soul.

"What do I use to entertain you?"

Kikyo's voice came from behind, frightening Feng so much that he jumped up.

"Sister, when did you come..." Feng turned around and smiled awkwardly.

Kikyo gave her a blank look and did not continue to teach her a lesson.

"This child is called Ling." Kikyo took Ling out from behind, "I will live with us from now on."

Ling waved her hand shyly to everyone, and hid behind Kikyo.

"Ling is only six years old, Feng, as your sister, you must take good care of her."

"Go and get along well with Feng." Kikyo smiled and pushed Ling to Feng, then she said, "Can you come out with me? I want to talk to you about something."
