Platycodon didn’t say anything, she just turned around silently and continued walking towards the village.
A group of half-grown ghosts looked confused, but they didn’t think much about it. They continued chatting about the previous topic, crowded around the miko sister and followed the direction of the village... Only Xiaoye froze on the spot and reacted.
Then he glared at the old monk angrily.
She was still young, so naturally she couldn't understand the true meaning of the old monk's words. She just felt that this old man was really hateful and was telling Sister Jie Jing to leave the village... She only understood this step, but even so, she still felt very uncomfortable.
I am happy, but I can’t help but feel worried at the same time.
She trotted all the way to catch up, her little hands tightly holding the miko's sleeves, and followed closely.
"Master Harumi..."
Gu Mo stood there, watching the back of Platycodon grandiflorum and a large group of imps drifting away, then turned his head and said calmly.
"Huh? What, you...you knew me before?"
The old monk looked a little surprised when his name was suddenly called out. He retracted his gaze and stared at the retreating back of the miko unwillingly. Instead, he stared closely at the strangely dressed half-demon in front of him. He looked him up and down. This half-demon
How do you know yourself?
"Of course I don't know him, why do you say that?" Gu Mo frowned immediately. What stupid things did the old monk say? How could he have known him before? He was really an old man and his brain was not very bright.
?
"Then how do you know my name?" The old monk also suddenly became confused. He thought that he was not a particularly famous mage. Although he had traveled around the world and done a lot of things, compared to those real great masters,
Eminent monk, the difference is not even the slightest bit.
So it couldn't be that his fame made this half-demon recognize his identity at a glance, right?
"Name? Master, didn't you just say this yourself? Have you forgotten?" Gu Mo's brows furrowed even more tightly, and his eyes when looking at the other party were also full of doubts. Perhaps his acting skills were too realistic, and at this time,
He was too calm and there was no psychological burden at all when telling lies, so the old monk was made less confident.
"I, I said it myself?"
The old monk's eyes looked a little confused. He subconsciously looked at the young monk behind him, trying to find an answer: "...Did I just say that?"
"Ah? Uh, this, this..." The young monk who was suddenly questioned was obviously a little nervous. He tried to think back, but felt that his mind was confused. He was not sure whether Master Qinghai had said this just now. It seemed that
Whether there is, or it seems there is, but he can't be sure.
But the young man opposite said it so conclusively and seriously, and he indeed called out Master Harumi's name, so... he should have said it!
The more he thought about it, the more the young monk felt that this was the case. He nodded and whispered: "Master, you seem to have said that just now."
"As expected..."
The old monk's expression became dull. He tried hard to recall it and racked his brains. Why did he have no memory at all? Could it be that he was really old?
Inevitably, such an idea appeared in his mind.
"There's nothing you can do about it, Master. After all, you're already so old, and everything you said will be forgotten immediately..." Gu Mo sighed over there, as if he was sincere, and said in a slightly sad tone, "
This is actually a normal thing. Having said that, I have a recipe here that is very beneficial to the elderly. Do you want to give it a try..."
As he spoke, he took out a folded piece of paper. It looked a little yellow in texture, and there were signs of damaged curls at the edges. The details were very good.
"This, this..."
The old monk looked at the prescription in the other person's hand. He seemed to be quite moved, but his eyebrows were frowning unconsciously. Something seemed wrong. Is now the time to do such a thing?
The thoughts in his mind became blurred, and he subconsciously felt that he had overlooked something important, but the other party did not give him time to sort out his thoughts slowly, nor did he intend to let him focus on this aspect.
, and then started selling.
That’s a huge amount of noise——
"This recipe is an ancestral recipe passed down from my family. It is made with honey, Sichuan clamshells, loquats, and Tianshan snow lotus..."
"It has countless advantages. It does not require refrigeration, has no preservatives, is quite toxic, and tastes delicious..."
"It's true that when you travel at home and kill people, you need good medicine. If you insist on taking it every day, it will be very beneficial to elderly people like you, Master..."
At the end of the sentence, Gu Mo looked serious, stepped forward, and put the prescription into the hands of the confused and confused old monk. "If it were anyone else, I wouldn't buy it.
, but we are destined to meet each other today. I thought about it for three minutes and decided to make a decision that goes against my ancestors. I will give this recipe to you, Master..."
"Ah? This, how can this be so embarrassing..."
The old monk subconsciously waved his hands to reject it. He was indeed very moved when he heard it, but if the other party just gave it to him for free, how could he accept this generous gift shamelessly?
"What's the point of being embarrassed? Master, take it and go back and recuperate. People still have to accept their old age and don't admit defeat, otherwise it will be your own body that suffers..." Gu Mo waved his hands repeatedly, but the words in his mouth disappeared.
Even after I stopped, I still had that sincere and persuasive tone, I’m all for your good.
"But, but..."
"Don't be hesitant, master, go back and give it a try now. If you think it's effective, you must insist on it every day, no less in the morning, noon and evening, eat three kilograms in one meal...and your apprentice,
You can let him do the decoction of medicine. Who will remember to urge your master to take the medicine on time..."

"Ah? Oh oh oh, okay, okay, I understand!" The young monk who was suddenly stopped subconsciously replied loudly and nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would definitely take the responsibility of urging Master Qinghai to take medicine every day. "That's good, that's good, go quickly! Walk slowly along the way!"
That’s it——
Master Qinghai had a confused look on his face. He looked at the prescription in his hand. With the support of the young monk beside him, the two of them slowly turned around and walked in the opposite direction of the village.
Gu Mo stood there waving his hands and watching the two people go away. The smile on his face remained for a long time before he suddenly calmed down.
He gave a faint grunt, then turned around and walked towards the village.
"What a troublesome old bald donkey, isn't it good to live..."
As he walked, Gu Mo stretched out his slender index finger and rubbed the center of his brow. In just such a short period of time, he consumed more mental energy than charming a lot of people, even though there were only two people opposite him...
No, it should be said that the main consumption is on that Master Qinghai.
Because the young monk's magic power is quite low, almost negligible, it is effortless to capture it with the magic eye.
However, Master Qinghai has great magical power and a very firm mind. Even though he may have subconsciously despised Gu Mo, he felt that the opponent was just a half-demon with weak and unstable demonic energy and low strength, or a fox demon who was often incompetent.
, coupled with the fact that I don’t understand the extraordinary power of the magic eye from a foreign world——
So he entered Gu Mo's sight, but he had no precautions at all, and was affected by the spell unknowingly... But even if these successful factors were added up, Gu Mo found that he wanted to give the other party a chance to succeed.
Giving hints is quite difficult.
He could only slowly distract and divert the old monk's attention through some movements and gestures, as well as the induction of words and phrases, so that he could not concentrate enough and subconsciously followed the rhythm and direction he was led to, even though it was only for a moment.
, only then did a flaw appear and the answer was confused.
And the consumption is quite large...
But there is nothing that can be done about it. This is just a bronze-quality skill, and it is only at LV0 level at the moment. It probably means that Gu Mo's mental attribute has reached a full 17 points of strength, which can make up for it a little bit.
The insufficient strength of the artificial magic eye.
"Damn it! You fox demon! I knew you had bad intentions!"
Before Gu Mo had gone far, there were rapid footsteps and gasps behind him, as well as the old monk's angry shouts.
Master Qinghai walked out with the young monk in confusion for a long time before he suddenly realized what he was doing. He threw the prescription down in shock and anger, turned around and ran back, ready to ask for an explanation! The young monk was a little unable to react.
Standing far behind, looking confused.
"What a hateful fox demon. Even if he likes to confuse people, he only knows this method!" Because he accidentally capsized in the ditch, the old monk Qinghai was naturally frightened and angry, but he still felt that it was because of his carelessness, so he did it
I fell into the opponent’s half-demon’s little trick.
"Master, don't say that. I don't like to confuse people. It's just that you are so old and I can't use other means to solve the problem. We are all gentle people. Is there anything that we can't talk about properly?
”
Gu Mo stood still, turned around and sighed, not agreeing with the old monk Qinghai's accusation.
What does it mean to only know this method? I just can't use other methods in public, such as breaking the old monk's legs and throwing him out of the village... Really, I have adopted a very gentle strategy
I’m here to try to solve the problem, but why can’t I understand my own difficulties at all?
Gu Mo didn't feel disappointed that the old monk reacted so quickly. It was good that the power of the magic eye could take effect once. For now, it can only be used to deal with the problems caused by ordinary people.
To cause trouble, or to forcefully control some enemies with weak mental will, slightly higher level targets are not suitable to be used against the enemy.
We can only wait for the skill level to be improved, or see if there is any way to qualitatively change the quality level of the artificial magic eye itself...
Of course, there is also the simplest and crudest way, which is to desperately strengthen one's own mental strength... So what about the artificial magic eye, what about LV0, if his mental attribute points have 50 points, 100 points, etc.,
The evil name of this evil eye is definitely more terrifying than the "straight-death evil eye" and the "twisting evil eye"!
"It's ridiculous, if you have any tricks, just use them!" Old monk Qinghai didn't believe it, and he said angrily after he had just been fooled.
"..."
"..."
"Master, you are so confused. Wouldn't it be better if you just left like that?" Gu Mo was silent for a while, then shook his head helplessly, "Do you know how my grandfather lived to be a hundred years old?"
"Your grandfather is also a monster, right? What's so surprising about living to be a hundred years old!"
What does this half-demon want to express? Isn't it a matter of course that youkai have a long lifespan? Let alone a hundred years old, two hundred or three hundred years old is just ordinary, not to mention those big youkai, even ordinary ones
Three to five hundred years of time are completely worth mentioning.
"No, it's because he never meddles in other people's business..."
Gu Mo smiled, then his expression calmed down, and he said seriously: "Master, please don't mind your own business. We have not harmed any innocent people, and we have always been quiet in this village.
We are just getting by, so can you please let us go?"
"..."
"..."
After being choked like this, the old monk's face didn't look good, but he still shook his head slowly and very seriously: "Please forgive me for not agreeing."
The gap between humans and non-humans is huge. How can the residents of this shore and the other shore live together in the same place? Especially the witch just now should not continue to stay in the world. This is the old monk's insistence.
He has his own ideas and principles and will not be easily convinced.
"Then there's nothing to talk about?"
Although he had known this result for a long time, Gu Mo couldn't help but sigh and looked at the old monk opposite with a dangerous look in his eyes.
"If you have any ability, just use it..." the old monk said with a serious face. He had to complete this task, and no one could stop him. Of course, this half-demon can't do it either, and if the charm is useless,
He doesn't think the other party can have any other means.
Now it is nothing more than a bluff and a show of force, but in fact it is a strong act on the outside.
"Okay, you are noble and awesome, do you really think I can't cure you..."
Gu Mo sneered, and when he sneered, the old monk opposite him also cheered up, and the magic power around him was ready to go.
Although he still doesn't think the true strength of this half-demon is very strong, he has just suffered a loss. Now he will naturally not underestimate the enemy. No matter how the opponent gets angry next, or what means he has, the old monk Qinghai will do it.
Knock down the opponent with a devastating blow, and use the thunderbolt method with a bodhisattva heart!
However——
"Hey! Everyone, look over here!"
What the old monk didn't expect was that the half-demon young man opposite didn't take action at all. Instead, he took a deep breath and suddenly shouted at the top of his voice, attracting the attention of the villagers who were busy under the scorching sun in the crop fields not far away.
The force attracted them all at once.
Gu Mo waved his arms to attract the attention of the villagers, and continued to shout at the top of his lungs: "Look here, look here, these two hateful bald donkeys, everyone can see clearly! Especially this old guy has no good intentions,
He just wanted to drive the miko-sama out of the village..."
"?" The old monk's eyes widened in astonishment, what are you doing?
The next moment, he felt dozens or hundreds of angry gazes suddenly focused on him.
…………
In the village.
Platycodon's residence.
"Xiaoye, is there anything else?" Seeing the group of children going home with the sorted herbs, and the little girl still lingering beside him, Platycodon showed a gentle smile and reached out to touch it.
The little girl's soft hair said softly.
"Sister Platycodon..."
Xiaoye hesitated, then asked: "You won't leave here, will you?" Her eyes were full of hope and longing, and she seemed very worried.
The witch was stunned for a moment, and then smiled. She noticed the little girl's mood at the moment, which was one of worry, trust and attachment to herself.
After thinking for a moment, she asked softly: "Does Xiaoye like me?"
"Yeah! I like it very much! I like Sister Platycodon the most!" The little girl nodded without hesitation!
"Then I treat Xiaoye as my sister, so why would I leave?" Kikyo's smile became softer. She murmured like this, as if she was answering the little girl in front of her, and also seemed to be talking to herself.
He was talking to himself, as if he was trying to convince himself.
"Really!?" The little girl was pleasantly surprised, and her eyes suddenly brightened. "I knew the village chief grandpa would not lie to me. He said that sister Platycodon, you and eldest brother..."
As she spoke excitedly, she suddenly remembered the advice of the village chief and her parents, and quickly covered her mouth with her hand, not to continue talking.
"Huh? How about me and him?" The witch raised her eyebrows slightly. Is there anything else she doesn't know?
But at this time, there was a very noisy sound in the distance outside. Beatings, angry shouts and sharp curses could be heard incessantly. It seemed that they were the sounds made by many villagers at the same time. Although they were separated by such a long distance, they could still be faintly heard.
Hearing this, the witch immediately felt a chill in her heart——
What happened outside? Why is it so noisy?
She immediately stood up and looked out the window in the direction of the sound.
I saw a crowd of people at the entrance of the village. A large group of villagers and women were still covered in wet mud from the fields and sweating profusely, but they didn't care about it at all. They were all excited, waving hoes and rakes in their hands.
, chasing the two monks in front.
The people without tools picked up the mud and stones on the ground and threw them violently in front of them. Like the others, they were yelling and swearing, as if they had some deep grudge against the two monks in front of them, and they hated them deeply. The two wandering monks, an old man and a young man, were beaten until they ran away, begging for mercy. Behind them, a large group of villagers refused to let go, chasing and beating them, shouting and cursing.
Smoke and dust were everywhere, and the scene was extremely spectacular and tragic.
In the direction of the village entrance, the guy was taking a bite of a berry that he didn't know where it came from, and slowly walked back, regardless of the chaotic scene behind him.
"...What a mess..."
After watching in silence for a while, the miko sighed.
But even though she said such words, the corners of her mouth were still slightly raised unconsciously.
Slowly retracting her gaze, she lowered her eyes and looked at the curious tiptoes beside her. She also tried to look at the little girl outside the window, and reached out to touch the little girl again... Although she actually really wanted to be like before.
He is equally peaceful and thinks that this village can accommodate him.
But maybe it's time...
