In a sense, my previous guess cannot be said to be wrong.
After all, this is indeed the Warring States Period...
Gu Mo followed the miko in front of him and walked through the village. He looked around the village with curiosity and found that there was no difference between the style and the one he had seen in his memory. The houses in Shisanying Village were also similar. Basically this style of painting.
The villagers along the way greeted the witch in front of them one after another. It was obvious that she was highly regarded in the village. The frightened little devils returned to the village to find their parents and told them about their grievances and fears of being attacked by monsters, but this situation did not cause any commotion.
"They seem to be... accustomed to this?"
Gu Mo raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but ask.
"It's not very uncommon for monsters to attack villages..." With a cold tone, Kikyo, who was walking in front, held the hand of the little girl beside him and said this without looking back.
"But if this is the case, how can ordinary villages survive?"
Gu Mo's brows furrowed. He recalled the situation just now and felt that something was not right there: "Not all villages have witches like you, right? Those little monsters are out of place one or two, but If the number increases, ordinary villages will not be able to resist it, right?"
There were dozens, if not a hundred, of the monsters that had just emerged. Although they were all insignificant little monsters, if the number of attacks was small, the village could still repel them at the cost of some casualties.
But if monsters attack villages in such numbers, it will definitely be a one-sided bloody massacre. And how many villages can be guarded by witches like this girl in front of them? You don't even need to hold it to such a high standard as Kikyo, most villages don't even have a miko.
Kikyo in front paused slightly, but she turned back and took a deep look at Gu Mo, but didn't say anything.
Seeing the witch lady leading the little girl forward, Gu Mo scratched his head, hesitated for a moment, seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help but grin - wait, why was there a large group just now? Different types of monsters are coming, is it actually because of him?
The house that Platycodon lives in is no different. It is a house located on the edge of the village. The house is also simple and clean. There is nothing superfluous. However, the air is filled with a faint medicinal fragrance, and the room next to the wall There are also many bottles and cans placed in the corner.
Gu Mo looked around and couldn't help but sigh. This kind of life was too poor... but it was also in line with her style.
But having said that, has my previous guess been initially confirmed? In the store function of the dog system, the products refreshed on daily specials are actually indicating the copies that may be refreshed recently? According to the rules that I have discovered before, the refresh of a copy is based on the cycle of three natural days in the real world.
From the time I found the Jade Fragments of the Four Souls in the daily specials and made the purchase, to the time I was caught off guard and fell into this world, it only took two days, which happened to be within the dungeon refresh mechanism.
At this point, it is considered to be in line with the rules he has figured out——
If two days pass, it is estimated that the dungeon in this world will be replaced by a new dungeon?
"Xiaoye, come here and sit." The witch took a bottle and gently pulled out the cork. A rich aroma mixed with the smell of grass appeared. She pointed to the open space in front of her, and the little girl He nodded obediently, said oh, and sat obediently in front of the miko.
"Sister Kikyo...will I die?"
The little girl asked softly, her voice trembling slightly.
"No, Xiaoye, you are not injured at all...it's just that you were somewhat stained with monster blood just now. You need to clean it up now."
The witch spoke slowly and slowly, her voice still cold, but it seemed to have a calming power. When the little girl heard this, she breathed a long sigh of relief, as if a big stone had fallen from her heart. She relaxed. After all, she was still a child. When she found that her friends were all fine, she was the only one called over by the miko sister——
She had just been attacked by a monster, so she naturally felt panicked and even felt that she was going to die.
After she relaxed, she noticed that the young man standing by the door of the room was watching, and she suddenly felt a little shy and embarrassed. However, she still tried to muster up the courage to raise her head and show a bright smile to this strange big brother. , what happened today is all thanks to this good-looking big brother!
Seeing the little girl's innocent smile towards him, Gu Mo was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled in response.
It's called Xiaoye...
Recalling what Platycodon called the little girl, Gu Mo couldn't help but look at the village scenery outside the window. It didn't seem like Maple Village.
He began to think deeply, his expression somewhat strange. In fact, since he got the Jade Fragments of the Four Souls, he already knew at least what stage the plot of this copy had progressed to. Now, he was just confirming it through more specific clues.
At this time, it seems that the Shikon Jade was hit and shattered by Higurashi Kagome's arrow due to her negligence, and turned into countless fragments and fell to the lands of all countries.
In order to collect the Shikon Jade fragments, the ghost Ritao used his unique magic and the existence of Higurashi Kagome to let Kikyo return to the world as a porcelain witch, and he sacrificed his life for this.
Then in the fierce battle, the miko, who harbored strong resentment for fifty years ago, almost wiped out InuYasha and his party. However, Higurashi Kagome recalled her soul in the end, causing her to fall short, and ultimately failed to fight InuYasha. They perished together, but fell from the cliff into a deep valley shrouded in mist.
But she did not die. Instead, she washed down the stream and finally landed in a village on the river bank, where she settled down. In this way, this witch taught the children in the village how to identify herbs and played with them, thinking that the village could accommodate her. If everything went well, maybe she would not appear in the world again...
And that village...
——This should be it.
Thoughts were swirling, and Gu Mo quickly recalled the corresponding plot trajectory. Fortunately, after he drew the jade fragments in the past two days, he also conducted related reviews and supplements. Otherwise, he probably would not be able to recall such a long time ago. Memories and impressions are already very blurry.
"Okay, Xiaoye, it's okay..."
At this moment, Platycodon's cold voice brought Gu Mo, who was in a daze, back to reality. He looked up and found that the little girl had stood up jumping, and a girl in a witch costume wearing white clothes and scarlet hakama. He just had time to put away the medicine bottle in his hand.
"Sister Platycodon, thank you..."
Xiaoye thanked her very happily. She looked relieved and asked impatiently: "Can I go home now? Will everything be okay?"
"Okay, go back quickly. Your parents must be worried about you too..."
The witch nodded slightly. Although when she just brought the little girl, she also had a brief chat with Xiaoye's anxious family. Although they also trusted her, they must still be uneasy and asked the little girl to go back and report as soon as possible. Peace is good too.
"Hmm... By the way, thank you, my handsome brother."
Xiao Ye nodded her head happily, then as if she thought of something again, she trotted to Gu Mo, bowed to him and thanked him for his help just now.
Good-looking big brother...?
Gu Mo twitched his lips, but still waved his hands: "You're welcome, this is what I should do...and maybe, those monsters are actually coming for me..."
Thinking of something he was equipped with, he felt that this was probably the case. He also basically understood the results of the previous divination feedback.
Those numerous subtle connections are not related to him, but are related to the fragments of the Four Souls Jade. They are the reactions between the fragments. They themselves are integrated, even if they are no longer present. Even if they are complete, the connection between them cannot be changed.
What he divined was this reason, not the intersections and historical issues left over from his previous visits to this world.
The little girl was a little confused, but she didn't think too much. She thanked her repeatedly, then moved her legs and ran out of the house. Gu Mo watched the little girl's back skipping away, and let out a long sigh. The adult's behavior just now made him understand, and now the girl's reaction further confirmed his thoughts.
He was obviously attacked by a monster just now, but he seemed to be fine so quickly——
If it were a modern person, even an adult, I'm afraid it would take a long time to relax and it would leave a psychological shadow.
It can only be said that the two fundamentally do not live in the same worldview, and there is no comparison at all for people who grew up with it. Most modern people are accustomed to peace and ease. It is hard to imagine what it is like to live in a village and be attacked by monsters every day.
He shook his head, watched the little girl's back disappear on the road over there, and then suddenly reacted.
If Xiao Ye also left, wouldn't it be... in this house?
Turning his head subconsciously, Gu Mo happened to meet a pair of water-cut eyes. The witch sat calmly on the mat over there, quietly watching him, a stranger.
"..."
"..."
The air suddenly became quiet.
Gu Mo was not afraid, but instead an inexplicable thought flashed through his mind - in a sense, Hidechiyo and Kikyo might have something in common. They have the same poor nature, the same quietness, the same They are all black, long and straight...
However, Hidechiyo's quietness was somewhat different from Kikyo's quietness. At least at this moment, Gu Mo did not feel familiar or comfortable because of his habits and experience in this area. Instead, under the witch's clear and calm gaze, Gu Mo felt familiar and comfortable. Feeling some pressure.
He raised his fist, put it to his mouth, coughed lightly, and broke the silence: "Well... the weather is nice today, suitable for sunbathing. Speaking of which - Miko-sama, is it okay for me to call you this?"
"There is no need to call me sir, you have heard them calling me by my name, just call me Kikyo..."
The miko answered calmly.
"Oh, that's it. Then I'll call you Platycodon." Gu Mo nodded decisively, not polite at all, and said very cheerfully: "Well, platycodon, do you have anything to tell me? ?”
"..."
"..."
There was a brief silence.
Even with the calmness shown by Kikyo, she couldn't help but frown slightly at this moment. It's not that she didn't mean what she said just now, but when everyone was very polite, this was the first time she met such an rude guy, even It feels like this person is waiting for this.
However, this alone was not enough to shake Kikyo's spirit. She lowered her eyes and moved her long eyelashes gently. It was like the clear voice of the sharp spring breeze in March, without any fluctuation, as calm as before:
"I have something to tell you."
She had just stopped Xiao Ye and wanted to help the little girl clean up the dirty demon blood that was accidentally stained on her body. She also said something to this strange young man and asked him to come with her... That's why the other party followed her. Here in the house, and looking very calm.
——It seemed that he already knew what she was going to say.
"You have fragments of the Four Souls Jade on you, right?" The miko looked at the other party with eyes like autumn water.
"Yes, a small piece, as big as the nail of your little finger, the shape is..."
Gu Mo said with a hearty smile and stretched out his hand to make gestures. It was impossible to hide this kind of thing. It had just attracted a bunch of nearby monsters to attack, especially when Kikyo was the shrine maiden who guarded the Shikon Jade fifty years ago. , her understanding of Baoyu is unimaginably deep.
"Where did you get it?" Kikyo frowned slightly and continued to ask.
She originally thought that this person would want to hide this matter, but she didn't expect that he would admit it so openly without even hesitating. He even introduced the details to her readily and gestured. The shape and size of a fragment.
This is a bit too cooperative. Generally speaking, after using the power of jade, the creatures who are confused by the jade will be addicted to it. It is difficult to extricate themselves. They have been confused by the jade, and they will subconsciously regard the jade as more important than their own lives. for precious things.
No matter what, you cannot let outsiders know, and even in order to keep your secrets, you will often make some irrational and impulsive behaviors...
"How did you get it... I bought this." Gu Mo tilted his head, put his hand on his chin, thought about it seriously, and finally nodded with conviction.
"Bought it?" The witch frowned slightly again, and the other party's answer seemed even stranger than before.
"Yes, I saw a store selling this fragment, and I thought it seemed more useful to me, and the price was really cheap, so I bought it directly..." Gu Mo explained seriously. , this is indeed the case, but whether the other party understands it is another matter.
The witch nodded clearly. Although it was indeed strange, the fragments should have been scattered everywhere. Maybe one of them was picked up by ordinary people and sold. It happened to be seen by the man in front of him. He knew the goods and paid for it directly. Come down.
It doesn't look like a lie, and there should be no need to tell such a speechless lie...
After a moment of silence and slightly lowering his eyes, Kikyo said softly: "You are using the power of that fragment, right?"
"Yeah, it helps me a lot."
Gu Mo still readily admitted that the Four Soul Fragment was a very powerful piece of special equipment that he currently had on hand. The several attribute effects attached to it were undoubtedly extremely powerful. In the game, it was probably either purple or purple. The kind with blue entries.
"You are really honest..."
Kikyo didn't know why, and suddenly sighed. The other party was really cooperative, but because of this cooperation, she didn't know what to say.
Although he did not seem to be deceived by Jade and became crazy and irrational, it cannot be concluded that the other party really didn't care in this regard, and he was indeed using Jade's power, and he also frankly admitted that Jade's The fragments helped him a lot.
The witch hesitated for a moment, but was very cautious and did not think that because of the other party's cooperation just now, she felt that she could easily let the other party hand over the jade fragments to her for purification... However, it seems that the obsession is not too deep at the moment, and even if she is obsessed with jade, it can be resolved. Yes, as long as you understand what the other person is thinking.
Staring at the strange person in front of him, a complicated look flashed in Kikyo's eyes.
Her tone was still unchanged, but it seemed that there was a subtle hint of strange emotion, but it was hidden very well, so slight that even she didn't notice it -
"What do you need the power of jade for? It's for..."
"Let yourself become a complete monster?"
The voice was soft.
Um? What does it mean to turn yourself into a complete monster?
Gu Mo over there was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly realized that the miko in front of him seemed to think that he was a half-demon?

(PS: I'm late. I'm late. There are a lot of things going on today. Due to the land boundary problem, the neighbors came over and made noise for most of the day. It also rained all day. It's really troublesome. I'm sorry...)
