While Gu Mo was thinking, the two people walking one behind the other could already see the outline of the village from a distance.
In the crop fields in front of the village, many villagers were busy. Although they were exhausted and sweating profusely, they did not stop.
There are also a group of children running around in the fields, but they are not playing, but holding herbs in their arms. Most of them carry a bamboo basket on their back, which also contains these things... Platycodon grandiflorum Her arrival changed a lot of things. She taught the children to identify herbal medicine and learn medical skills.
The adults in the village are also happy to see this happen, because these children are too young. Even if they go to the fields to help with farming, they cannot actually share too much work. It is better for them to learn from the miko and collect herbs. It's much easier, and it's also a material that the village urgently needs.
"Sister Platycodon..."
From a distance, Xiaoye saw the two people coming back one after another at a glance. She quickly ran over and the miko also showed a soft smile.
Xiao Ye happily raised a large handful of plants in her arms to thank the miko for credit. At the same time, she was also very happy to show off to her big brother behind her. Getting compliments from the two people, even if they were just a few words, made her feel better. At the same time, she looked at the two people in front of her curiously.
As the village chief said, my sister and brother will always stay in the village, right? If that's the case, that's really great!
"Xiaoye, don't pick this herb yet. As I told you the day before yesterday, its flowers can be used, but this is not the time for it to bloom. It will take another two months..."
The witch whispered softly, and stood on the spot to teach, without any trace of the alienation she felt just now.
The little girl listened attentively, nodded in agreement, and the other friends also gathered around, listening attentively. Gu Mo couldn't help but curled his lips, this must be treated differently, this must be treated differently.
"Um?"
Aware of the sight in the distance, he looked up and found two men dressed as wandering monks standing in the field at the entrance of the village. They were talking to the villagers working in the field. After receiving the answer, they also turned their heads. Looked in this direction.
One was an older monk. He looked here with a confused face, while the young monk next to him looked a little confused and didn't know what was going on.
Here we go, is it today?
Blinking his eyes, Gu Mo suddenly remembered who this old monk was. A master with good magical power, he could see the problem of Platycodon. Unfortunately, he overestimated his own magical power and underestimated the magic power of the shrine maiden. When he wanted to forcibly transcend Platycodon, he was blocked by a much larger spiritual power. It bounces back easily...
It's just that the old monk refused to give up before he died, but maybe it was his last words that made some changes in Kikyo's heart.
Later, the miko was alone again and embarked on a journey, which was probably due to the old monk's contribution.
But he was not actually a bad person. Gu Mo thought about it for a while and thought it would be better to drive the old monk away from the village. In case he doesn't have enough magic power and wants to meddle in other people's business, he will eventually die under his own magic.
Anyway, Kikyo didn't want to cause trouble, and he could use this to see if he could change the plot and gain some benefits at the same time.
"Xiaoye, let's go back to the village first."
At this time, Kikyo also noticed the two wandering monks in the village over there. She raised her delicate eyebrows imperceptibly, and then spoke calmly.
"Hmm..." The little girl and a group of half-grown children nodded repeatedly and followed the witch toward the village.
Gu Mo followed without hesitation, but knew that this matter would not be avoided so easily. Jie Jing did not want to have a meaningless conflict, but the master might not give up his idea. Although he didn't look back, he could hear the footsteps rushing behind him.
"Please wait a moment, the two people in front..."
A slightly hoarse and aged voice came from behind.
Well, now I still have my own share...
Gu Mo stopped and looked at the platycodon in front of him who also stopped and turned around. Both of them looked at the old monk who was catching up behind him. There were also a group of half-grown children around him, looking at this scene in confusion.
"What's the matter, Bald... ahem, Master?" Gu Mo asked first, his tone deliberately rude.
"Haha, the main reason is that I was traveling with my disciples and happened to pass by this place. I found that there is a gathering of evil spirits here, so I want to know something from you two... Has anything evil happened recently?"
The old monk said with a smile, looking sharply at the man and woman opposite him, and he had an idea in his mind.
The demonic energy in the young man's body was weak and unstable. He seemed to be a half-demon, and the demonic aura felt a little familiar to him. He had been cured of many demons before, so he should be a fox demon or something like that.
Foxes and other spirits have little fighting power, and their demon power is often weak. In addition, they are still half-demon, so there is no need to worry too much... But the old monk is a little confused about the witch. The only thing that can be confirmed is that she does not belong to this world.
Kikyo on the other side looked calm, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This master was so aggressive that he seemed to be targeting the two of them. She touched the head of a child next to her and was about to answer the old monk's question when she heard a voice next to her.
"How is that possible? Master, you must be too old and too old to see it wrong! Our village has beautiful mountains and clear waters, outstanding people, simple folk customs, and warm hospitality. It is famous throughout the ten miles and eight towns!"
Gu Mo shook his head repeatedly and strongly disagreed with the old monk's words. At the same time, he stepped forward and started pointing. He pointed out with certainty that it was the master's own problem, and he made nonsense without politeness -
"You see, the village is surrounded by mountains. On the left is a golden basin offering auspiciousness, on the right is water shooting into the middle hall, in front of it is a Chinese courtyard with cranes and sky, and in the back is jadeite from Jingshan Mountain. It is exactly the symbol of wind and water... How could there be any evil spirit? You can't even tell this, what kind of master are you? You can't be a liar, right?"
"..."
"..."
It took a long time for the old monk opposite to finally react. He immediately opened his eyes wide and argued subconsciously: "Donor, donor, you are talking nonsense. I didn't understand what you said at all." These things, and there are mountains on all sides..."
Wait, this plot is unfolding wrong! Shouldn't it usually be the case that he speaks sharply and presses harder every step of the way, making the demon opposite him timid, and finally being unable to cope with it and showing off his trap?
Why was it that the other person was speaking forcefully and louder than he was?
"Then what else is there to say? It must be that you are not good at studying. Don't lie to others at such an old age. Go back quickly. I feel ashamed for you. You are still doing this at such an old age..." Gu Mo looked displeased. He patiently interrupted the other person's words while trying to drive the old monk away.
"You, you... I have been studying under a master for more than forty years. I work hard every day. I have never made any mistakes in these things. Donor, what you said is really..."
The old monk stammered and didn't know what to say, but he still argued subconsciously. After all, if the other party doubted this aspect, it was tantamount to doubting his own inheritance! If I don't explain it clearly and make a clear distinction, wouldn't it be an embarrassment to the teacher?
The situation seemed to suddenly become inexplicable.
Even Kikyo next to her couldn't help but shook her head helplessly, but the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and her mood seemed to get better unconsciously.
"Donor...I am speaking out of turn, please forgive me..."
After all, he had rich experience. The old monk endured the anger in his heart and quickly calmed down. He could not argue with this monster on this kind of thing. He would only be led astray by the other party. As long as he knew what he wanted to do, What, just make an article around this point to expose the other party.
After calming down, the old monk took a few steps forward, bowed and apologized.
Just when he was bending down, a scroll fell from his sleeve intentionally or unintentionally, rolled on the ground a few times, and rolled to the opposite side.
The scroll was spread out on the ground, revealing the densely packed incantations written inside.
"I'm sorry... but can you help me pick it up?" The old monk said seriously, raising his eyes like a torch, staring at the two people opposite him, "This is a very important thing, it says "Destroy the Demon" According to the scripture, as long as the monster touches it, it will appear immediately!"
"...!!"
The witch's eyes narrowed for a moment, and she stepped forward decisively.
Gu Mo was not suitable to touch this volume of scriptures, because the demon-breaking scriptures were quite powerful against monsters, so she had to do it herself.
Just two steps forward, Kikyo was stopped by Gu Mo who reached out and said casually: "Okay, okay, you have to put your things away! Xiaoye, return the scripture to the master... let's go back to the village. Go inside.”
"Oh, alright!"
The little girl next to him nodded like a chicken pecking rice. She quickly bent down to pick up the scroll of scriptures and trotted back to the stunned old monk. She held the thing out with both hands and showed a bright smile. With an innocent smile, he said: "Grandpa, this is for you."
"..."
"..."
"...Thank you, thank you." The old monk's face didn't look good, but facing the little girl's innocent smile, he could only squeeze out words of thanks through his teeth.
Gu Mo gave a thumbs up to the witch, but the latter didn't say anything. She just looked at him strangely, then reached out to hold the little hand of Xiao Ye who ran back, turned around and continued walking towards the village: "Let's go. , I’m going back now…”
"Um."
Seeing the group of people walking away like this, the old monk was really unwilling. He gritted his teeth and quickly chased after them again, shouting:
"Miko girl!"
Kikyo stopped and turned around with a slightly sideways glance.
"Although I don't know what makes you reluctant to leave, this is not your place to live. You should go back to where you belong!" Holding the rosary in his other hand tightly, the old monk shouted He opened his mouth and said, hoping that his words could be like Hong Zhong Da Lu, making the other party wake up!
It was hard to say about the half-demon for the time being. He also knew that the half-demon was in a very sad situation.
But this witch is indeed an ominous creature that does not belong to the human world. She cannot be allowed to stay here!
