Gu Mo felt very unhappy, why was he considered a monster?
Is it just because you have demon power, exudes demon energy, and have experienced the transformation of a demon? This is definitely discrimination. If you rely on this to judge, isn't it too superficial, like assuming others based on their appearance?
It’s not free at all!
After a skilled punch in his heart, but appearing serious on the surface, Gu Mo held his chin in his hand and pondered, pretending to think seriously about this issue.
"..."
"..."
The witch sitting on the mat did not urge him, she just looked at him quietly, waiting for his answer.
Kikyo subconsciously thought that the other party was a half-demon. After all, although the fluctuations and aura of demonic power and demonic energy were obscure and restrained, they could not be completely hidden after all, and Gu Mo happened to have such characteristics...especially for the strongest with keen perception.
For a shrine maiden, this is as conspicuous a presence as a torch in the dark night.
Although the appearance of the opponent is completely human and does not have many characteristics of the monster, the situation of the half-demon is inherently different, and it is a heretic between humans and monsters.
The situation of this group itself is quite special, and among this specialness, there are not even more special examples. Therefore, she did not doubt that there was something wrong, but based on the demons and demons that are more essential than superficial appearances.
Angry, I made such an inference.
And a half-demon wants to use the power of the four soul jade fragments...
What could it be for? There is often only one reason.
As if thinking of something, the miko lowered her eyes slightly. Her delicate face was obscured by the shadow of her flat bangs, and her specific expression at the moment could not be clearly seen.
At this time, Gu Mo looked around strangely. He always felt that there was a chill in the air for no reason, but if he felt it carefully, it seemed to be his own illusion.
He was a little confused, but he didn't dwell too much on it. Instead, he shook his head and said, "Become a complete monster? In fact, I haven't thought about this kind of thing. I just feel that I need its power at the moment. It can deal with all kinds of monsters."
I'm helpful...well, that's all."
Obtaining the Jade fragment of the Four Souls was just an unexpected episode for him. He had not specifically sought out its power before, so naturally he had not thought about relying on this thing to become a complete monster, because this thing did not
There is no special meaning, he will not deliberately pursue this.
After all, strictly speaking, the power of becoming a monster is within easy reach for him. It is just a matter of merging with the guardian spirit and achieving a "synchronization rate of 400%" a few times.
It's just that he didn't do this, he didn't pursue it deliberately, but just let nature take its course... Because theoretically, there were actually many choices he could make - in the last world, he even had
The opportunity to be promoted to a god, even if there is nothing to show off, and in a sense, that kind of promotion is simply embarrassing.
But that undoubtedly shows one thing, his choices are not so limited. Even if it is impossible to wait until the strongest, best and most cost-effective opportunity appears, he can still take his time and try his best to
Look at some more possibilities, some roads and directions that you can choose, and there is no need to rush.
It can only be said that as a real player, he is undoubtedly a very qualified fourth natural disaster in terms of having a conqueror's mentality towards the game.
"Is that so...haven't you thought about it yet?"
Kikyo raised her eyes and stared at his face, and after a moment, nodded gently.
In this case, it's not too serious, because the obsession with the Four Souls Jade is not too heavy or deep, it's just the kind of situation where I just use it when I happen to come across it. I don't put my long-cherished wish, my own pain and
The deepest reluctance in my heart rests on jade.
As the saying goes, no desire leads to strength. If your thoughts and usage of jade are relatively simple, and there are no obvious flaws in your mind, it is understandable that you are not bewitched by jade at this stage.
However, it is only limited to this stage. She thinks that this half-demon is probably very confused at the moment. He may not have made up his mind to use the power of the Four Souls Jade to transform, but he will probably embark on this path in the future. p>
After all, we are in the middle ground between humans and monsters. The life of a half-demon is often an extremely sad experience. Being ostracized and bullied by monsters, and feared and attacked by humans, it is a gray area that neither side acknowledges. When in trouble, people will seek to
Transformation and a way out are the instinct of all life.
"The Jade of Four Souls...is actually not a good thing."
The witch thought about it and spoke in a cold voice——
"Maybe you don't have any problems now, but if you continue like this, it will only make you go astray. Jade's malice will make you contaminated by evil, and you will in turn deepen Jade's malice, and eventually your own four souls will
Twisted into a twisted spirit that violates the laws of nature..."
"Oh."
Gu Mo nodded at this and uttered a very perfunctory syllable, indicating that he had heard the other party's advice, but he only heard it.
"..."
"..."
Although times are different, Kikyo doesn't know that some people in later generations hate responses such as "oh" and "hehe", but it does not prevent her from having the same feeling at this moment and can't help but wrinkle her slender eyebrows.
This person didn't pay attention to the issue he mentioned at all, and although he seemed very cooperative and frank just now, he was only cooperative and frank on those issues. At least now it seems that he has no intention of giving up the Four Souls Jade.<
/p>
But this is normal, right? She pursed her lips, wisely stopped what she said, and stopped talking. Because everyone has their own ideas, especially when they meet each other by chance and are strangers to each other... Under such circumstances,
It's hard to expect that your words will have any weight to him.
"Ahem, don't worry, Platycodon, I will definitely not be deceived by the power of jade. I am actually very confident in this aspect."
Gu Mo looked at the witch's frown and seemed to understand her worries, so he hurriedly coughed lightly, looked directly into the witch's dark eyes seriously, and said in a loud voice.
"..."
"..."
Being called out by name directly again, Kikyo's expression was a little unnatural, but she didn't dwell on it, but sighed in her heart. The other party's guarantee was nothing to her, and she couldn't believe it.
At this time, this person is not lying, and he really thinks so.
However...
There were many pioneers who hated Yu's malice, and they had this idea at the beginning, and even she herself did not escape it in the end.
After a slight hesitation, the witch said softly: "I hope so, but if possible, can you show me the fragments... Don't worry, I'm just taking a look."
As if she was worried about causing the other party to misunderstand, she added seriously. Although her tone seemed to have no special change and her voice was as cold and calm as before, she still had a strange power that seemed to be able to make people
Just as convinced.
Gu Mo blinked at this, but still nodded happily: "That's okay."
He knew that his coping method was very effective. Kikyo was a person with this kind of personality. He was not an enemy, nor was he an irrational bloodthirsty demon... but he was neither an enemy nor a friend. The relationship between them was still very unfamiliar.
But he happened to hold the jade fragment of the Four Souls.
There aren't many things she can do...
Especially after Gu Mo expressed that he did not want to give up the fragments of the Four Souls Jade...
Seeing the stranger across from him take a few steps forward without hesitation, and stretched out his hand towards himself, with his palm flat and his slender fingers spread out. There was a fragment of jade lying quietly in his palm. Platycodon fell silent for a moment.
For a moment, I looked at the other person deeply.
She did not continue to say anything, but stretched out her slender fingertips and gently twisted the fragment.
Gu Mo lowered his arms indifferently. He was not worried about Kikyo. She was not that kind of person. Moreover, there was indeed a huge gap in the actual combat power between the two sides. If she really had that intention and felt that she had the advantage, why bother?
Why talk so much to yourself?
By the way——
What he just said was actually just words. He had his own selfish thoughts, and he had no absolute certainty. After all, this jade was indeed very evil, and he himself viewed it as a double-edged sword.
, if something really happens, it needs to be considered and dealt with.
Nowadays, it is rare to have a free master who can help check it, so of course we must seize this opportunity.
Kikyo didn't waste much time. She held the jade fragment between her slender fingertips. A strange look flashed in her eyes, and then she raised her head and looked at the person in front of her.
"Do you know... what the "Four Souls" in the Four Souls Jade represent?"
"Well, let me think about it...it seems that there are four souls, including the wild soul, the harmonious soul, the strange soul and the lucky soul. They are responsible for courage, kindness, wisdom and love respectively. Moreover, not only the human heart is composed of four souls, but everything is the same.
?"
Gu Mo stretched out his fingers and scratched his cheek, and after recalling it, he said this.
"It's roughly true. The basic element of the heart is a spirit, and a spirit is composed of four souls. The amount of each soul will increase or decrease depending on the actions of the holder... Under the normal operation of the four souls,
A spirit is called a straight spirit and can be consistent with the laws of nature, while one that is contaminated by evil is a bent spirit."
The witch nodded calmly and said.
She moved her gaze away from Gu Mo's face and stared at the fragment in her hand: "This is the power of the Four Souls Jade. It can affect the four souls of people or monsters, affect their hearts, and bring powerful power.
...and the curse, the more we rely on its power, the heavier the curse will be until it is forever gone."
"Oh." Gu Mo nodded and continued to make such a weak sound, indicating that he heard it.
But then he asked curiously: "Then what is the situation with this fragment of mine now? Is it contaminated by evil?"
"...It's not contaminated by evil, but it's not clean either." Kikyo glanced at him calmly, and at this moment, the fragment in her hand suddenly glowed with a clean light.
The next second, the entire fragment became crystal clear, and the pink jade seemed to be even clearer.
Although it was also pink before, but comparing it before and after, the fragment in the hands of the witch at this moment is transparent without any impurities, while the one in Gu Mo's hand before was pink with black, but not very clear.
Obviously, it is a conclusion that can only be drawn after comparison.
"Ah? Why?"
Gu Mo was a little surprised. He really didn't feel Yu's bewitchment... Or was he still careless? Yu's bewitchment was actually going on unconsciously.
The witch shook her head and did not respond immediately, but handed back the jade fragment.
Gu Mo hesitated and stretched out his palm to take it, and the jade fragment fell into his palm. The moment it fell, perhaps it was the moment of life and death when it came into contact with the skin of his palm that the fragment was purified by the witch.
, it was instantly tainted with a layer of black air, returning from clear and transparent to its previous state.
There is a black air in the clarity. At first glance, it looks pure and crystal clear, but it also contains vague turbid impurities.
But it's not particularly obvious. It's a little hard to see if you don't compare it carefully.
"..."
"..."
Gu Mo's face suddenly turned dark, and he felt that he had been deeply slandered from the soul level.
I am obviously a moral model with a pure heart and a brilliance of humanitarianism all over my body! There must be something wrong with this fragment to have such a prejudice against myself!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Your wild soul and harmonious soul seem to be in an absolute state of balance..." The miko looked at him with that strange vision, "It should be the reason for this situation, so in your hands, Tamami
It’s not completely leaning toward the wild soul, and it’s not completely a reflection of the harmonious soul. It’s constantly being purified and dyed black in your hands.”
It hasn’t gotten better, but it hasn’t gotten worse either.
Are the desolate souls and the harmonious souls in a state of absolute balance? Gu Mo was stunned for a moment, then realized, could it be because of the two-faced guardian spirit?
"..."
"..."
There was a brief silence in the room. The witch was quietly looking at the half-demon in front of her, while Gu Mo was frowning and thinking about something. Neither of them spoke, and the air naturally became silent.
"If that's the case, it should be a good thing..." After a while, Gu Mo said with some uncertainty. He gently closed his five fingers and held the fragment in his palm, feeling the powerful blessing.
Put it on yourself, so that your physical fitness and demonic power limit will soar.
"Are you going to insist on using it?" the witch frowned.
Although she didn't know what was going on, she didn't think this situation was a good thing. Moreover, people's hearts would eventually change, and the four souls would increase or decrease accordingly. The equilibrium state could not last forever. "At least I don't want to give up..."
Gu Mo smiled, and when he opened his palm again, there was nothing inside. Even with Kikyo's eyesight, he couldn't tell where he had hidden the Jade fragment of the Four Souls. He could only see it through his own eyes.
Sensing the jade, he determined that there was indeed a fragment on the other party's body.
"I don't have this idea at the moment... This world is still too dangerous, and I need its power." Gu Mo continued, his tone was quite calm.
Kikyo raised her eyebrows and opened her mouth, but didn't say anything.
She also found this matter quite troublesome. She originally planned to spend the rest of her life in this small village, and everything in the world would have nothing to do with her from now on. But she didn't expect that a stranger arrived today, breaking this continuity.
After several days of peace, fragments of the Four Souls Jade appeared in front of her.
No matter what, I can't pretend not to see it, I care about it very much anyway.
But I want to take care of it, but I don’t know where to start...
Fifty years have passed, and the Four Souls Jade is no longer the item she originally kept and protected. It has even been broken into countless pieces. Especially since the person in front of her is not an enemy. She has no way to ask for it, nor can she do it.
.
While her thoughts were spinning, Kikyo asked in a calm tone: "What are you going to do next? Are you going to leave the village and collect other jade fragments?"
She has never thought about turning into a complete monster, but she needs to use the power of jade. If the other party is prepared to continue the journey with such an idea, she will not be surprised at all.
"This... I may do this later, but for now, I plan to stay in the village for a while."
Gu Mo thought, and then continued to scratch his cheek with some embarrassment, and said with a stern expression: "Those monsters from before should have come for me. Although I didn't mean it, they did cause trouble to the village.
, and there may be more later..."
"So I want to stay for a while first and at least deal with the trouble I caused. I can't just leave like this!"
It's a very high-sounding reason. As for what he thinks, only God knows.
——In fact, you can handle it yourself...
Kikyo hesitated for a moment, but in the end she didn't say these words. Maybe that's okay. If the other party was very decisive and prepared to run away directly, she would feel very embarrassed. She didn't want to leave this peaceful village, but it was also difficult for her to do so.
Watching helplessly as the Four Souls Jade is about to bring about a disaster.
"That's okay... there are still some empty houses in the village. I'll take you to talk to them now."
The witch stood up and walked out the door.
"Oh, thank you, Platycodon grandiflorum." Gu Mo nodded repeatedly, smiled heartily, and still called her by his first name without being polite at all.
There was no response. The witch walked past him, bringing with it a faint scent of medicine. After arriving at the door, she suddenly turned around and looked at someone behind her, looking straight at him calmly: "Speaking of which,
, Having said so much, aren’t you curious about my affairs?”
The Shikon no Jade is a very famous thing.
As the shrine maiden who guarded the Four Souls Jade fifty years ago, she is not so unknown. Although time flies, fifty years have passed in the blink of an eye. But in the face of long-lived monsters and half-demon,
Look, fifty years is just a snap of the fingers, so it’s probably not that quick to forget what happened in recent times.
What's more, she didn't hide her name, and the other person didn't look very surprised, but he obviously knew her.
"Not at all."
Facing the direct inquiry from the witch, Gu Mo did not hesitate at all, and looked at her openly and directly.
Curiosity is because he doesn’t know, so he wants to explore. But he knows everything, and even knows her better than Kikyo herself, so naturally he won’t be curious anymore.
Probably because there was no guilt in his eyes, and he was even too frank and frank, the miko turned her face away unnaturally and avoided looking at him. She temporarily put aside a vague concern in her heart and reached out to lift the door.
Bamboo curtain, stepped out, leaving only a faint sentence:
