In the old capital, the ruins of the abandoned land, the great monster Gu Ming Jijue built a huge foreign pavilion called the "Earth Spirit Temple" on top of the former scorching hell.

In the garden in front of this mansion, Ah Lian, who is the pet and servant of the Earth Spirit Temple, bowed down to serve tea, Gu Ming Dijue sat at the table unmoved, closed his eyes and recuperated, and after a while, he opened one eye and glanced at the human standing respectfully next to him-

Mo Ming, who has spoiled her good deeds several times, and because of the extremely low posture of the meeting in the public arena, she can't have a seizure, and now she dares to appear in front of her alone like no one...... Can it be regarded as a pinch of his own attitude of eating soft rather than hard?

Gu Ming Dijue has not forgotten some new and old grudges. It's just that this human identity is special, so the matter of settling accounts that should have been settled after the autumn has been put on hold until now.

Right now...... How dare you trespass into my territory?

After sitting leisurely for a while, seeing that Mo Ming seemed to be full of patience and still had no intention of speaking, he seemed to have calculated that he could read the ins and outs from his heart...... Although this is true, of course, it cannot be led by the nose.

Never mind...... There's no need to dwell on this.

"So, you're here to take refuge?"

"Yes, Master Gu Ming Dijue," Mo Ming bowed respectfully, "Although you are just an ordinary human being, and you may not be able to handle the work related to the old hell, you can still take care of your daily life, if you are willing to try human food, I also have some good skills here, no matter what, please be sure to keep it for the next while." ”

"Hehe," Gu Ming Dijue was not in a hurry to respond positively, took a sip of the teacup, and talked eloquently, "What, let your fairy beauty not go to meet, run to my side, what is the idea?"

After speaking, he seemed to find that this sentence was a little ambiguous, clenched his fists and coughed, and continued: "Although I came to take refuge, there is no reason to take you in here, your enemy, no matter how you say it, is also a dignified god, with your friendship with me, will I take this risk for you?"

Mo Ming sighed: "I know you're embarrassed, but this is no longer a grudge on a personal level...... Because、It will affect the entire Gensokyo.,After all, my little witch is not as strong as before.,It's really going to clash with the dragon god.,The big enchantment can't afford it.。 ”

As if he finally realized that what was in front of him was not a human but a hot potato, Gu Ming sighed: "Then you shouldn't come here, whether it is to ask for help from the human sage Kamihiro Ze Huiyin, the monster sage Yakumo Zi, or the god's sage Yayi Yongrin, it will be a better choice." ”

Mo Ming spread his hands: "In fact, the situation seems to be more serious. ”

Gu Mingdi was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "I see, is it the disaster of blood light, do you mean...... Knowing in some kind of prophecy that something not so good is going to happen? So come here and do it for me?"

"How is it possible, you won't do it...... Right?"

"Huh. Gu Ming Dijue took another sip of tea.

"I suddenly thought that going to the Forever Pavilion might be a better choice. ”

"Then why didn't you go? When you explained to the Witch of Hakurei, didn't you say that you went to the Eternal Pavilion to see a doctor and recuperate?"

"Didn't go...... For a variety of reasons. ”

"Roar~" The mind-reading monster had a meaningful expression, and suddenly smiled, "It's rare and rare, you are a person, there will be a time when you are embarrassed? Just because of such boring feelings, you gave up the optimal solution to the big crisis? You know, in that place, there is almost no threat of the bloody disaster." ”

"What do you mean, yes, I also have a very delicate heart," Mo Ming was dissatisfied, "Forever Pavilion is...... The final plan, things are not at worst, and I don't plan to think about it. ”

"But the worst happens, doesn't it?"

"No, the worst-case scenario can only happen when you are aware of it but you don't have time to prepare for it. ”

"Oh, you look confident, it looks like you're prepared?"

Mo Ming immediately lowered his face: "How can it, this is not to defect to ......"

"Ah Lian, hang him up for me," he said that he would turn his face, Gu Ming felt that he didn't have time to explain at all, "There is a perfect strategy, and I must have made sufficient psychological preparations for the most imminent violence......

I don't know if it was out of revenge for Mo Ming's abduction of Lingwu Lukong not long ago, Flame Mao Lian suddenly grabbed Mo Ming's ankle with one hand and flew up with him...... His head was still on the ground.

"Ahhh......h

I didn't expect my pet to come to such a hand, Gu Ming almost laughed out loud...... Mo Ming straddled and drooped down to cover her face, and her speech became angry.

"Ahem," he clenched his fists and coughed, of course the wise Lord Jue would not say such a thing as asking Ah Lian to turn Mo Ming upside down, but just looked up at Mo Ming's thick pants and said indifferently, "Now you also understand, I am not as good as you think, and I can almost talk about the conditions." ”

"Can you let me go first? I'm so uncomfortable, I'm probably going to die. ”

"It's okay, I'll throw you to the Eternal Pavilion before you get cold...... By the way, I will help you make up for two knives, and your blood-light disaster can also be realized, the best of both worlds, no thanks. ”

Mo Ming: "......" didn't speak, as if he didn't take a breath and choked to death.

"Okay, okay, slender Mr. Mo Ming, although I don't know what your reasons were for making such a stupid plan, it seems that you have already made up your mind?"

"Plan before you act. "It seems that he will not leave.

"The Earth Spirit Hall doesn't have idlers, even my pets have to work, what can you do?"

"I ......"

"Don't talk about daily life, my pet is in charge of it, and it's not your turn to interfere. ”

"I still have a lot of skills, I used to do any work outside for a long time, as long as I can, I can do hard work, I can do written copywriting, it's really not good, some teaching and guidance or something can also be, don't underestimate the ability of human beings to sum up experience......"

Gu Mingdijue's heart moved, and then he shook his head.

Looking at Ah Lian in the air: "Let him down." ”

The upright pet naturally followed the instructions and let go, and Gu Ming felt that he kicked his foot, but he didn't let Mo Ming's head hit the ground.

Rolling in circles on the ground and getting up with a dirty face, Mo Ming slapped the picture on his body, his shirt and scarlet straddle were a little dirty, and he couldn't clean it.

"It's true that the Bo Li Great Barrier has been destroyed, and I will have a headache, but that doesn't mean I'll back down," Gu Ming Dijue observed Mo Ming and his heart, and found that the other party was not as annoyed and angry as he thought, and pointed to a hut on the edge of the garden, "You can do whatever you want, just do as you think, and be the gardener here for a few days." The hut over there is for you to live in, provided that you are never allowed to step into the Earth Spirit Temple. ”

Mo Ming followed Gu Ming Dijue's line of sight, it was indeed a hut, with the shape of a dog kennel, but it was slightly larger than it, and it could accommodate an adult on the ground.

"The pet that was used to punish me for doing something wrong, let's lend it to you for a while, food ......"

"No need, I'll take care of the food myself. Mo Ming stopped beating the dust and began to walk in the direction of the hut.

"Oh, angry, don't you have the consciousness of 'at least give me a place to live', it shouldn't be what you expected now, right?" Gu Ming Jue laughed, looked at Mo Ming and walked away without stopping, and then stood up and followed behind Mo Ming unhurriedly, "Do you think I'm 'a little child', monsters are different from humans, Mo Mingjun." ”

Mo Ming walked slowly.

"Hatred is a more enduring emotion than human love, and it is painful to be bound by it. This is something that only humans can do, after all, you don't live long, and when you can't take revenge lightly, the wisdom of survival makes you have to choose to compromise...... Monsters have their own methods, we will only have grudges and revenge, and we will have revenge," Gu Ming felt that he held the back of his head with both hands, and followed behind and said to himself, "You are a human being, you have a strong sense of crisis, and you always want to turn the hidden threats around you into your own help, and you can solve many things over and over again." I think I'm right, but I think I'm going to be sorry for you? ”

Mo Ming continued walking.

"It's possible for humans to become friends with youkai, and it's ideal for you, right? Even being curious about human beings is dangerous, let alone getting closer? The last big monster that was bound by human beings had an unavoidable Achilles heel and was used, and he didn't even keep his housekeeping skills, was held hostage by those with intentions, and left silently with words of suffering, and this kind of tragedy will only be repeated repeatedly. ”

Mo Ming walked, slowing down, as if lost in thought.

Gu Ming Dijue still only followed behind, not equal or overtaken him.

"Although there are few guests in the Earth Spirit Palace, it is not so much that it can't afford to prepare a guest room, Mo Mingjun, what do you think is the reason for the special treatment? Okay, it seems that you are also aware of it," Gu Ming Dijue smiled and continued, "Although I look down on humans, I miss the old love very much, my pets are all my family, so I allow them to live in the Earth Spirit Palace...... In the same way, I will not allow you to enter the Earth Spirit Temple. ”

"Heh, I'm really going to put gold on my face. Well, it's not unreasonable, I do admire you, because of mind reading, I can probably always know anyone's position, but I can't predict exactly what you're going to say next, and it's really more interesting than the artificial intelligence and real-time calculus part that fills the brain with a database......"

"But that's about it. You think that "people who find each other interesting can be friends", but the reality is much more complicated. ”

Mo Ming walked slowly, and shrugged his shoulders when he heard this: "I thought everyone in Gensokyo was relatively simple." ”

"Aren't all the simple girls subdued by you?"

"How do you speak? Although all of them are beautiful and temperamental, I have a pure revolutionary friendship with everyone. ”

"Heh," Gu Ming Dijue shook his head with a smile, "Is it a blessing or a curse for someone like you to appear in Gensokyo?"

"No one knows what the future holds, but I hope it's good, heartfelt hope. Mo Ming replied.

"That's okay, Mo Mingjun, give you a chance to choose, don't say I don't leave room for me," Gu Ming Dijue stood still, "I can let you live in the Earth Spirit Temple, and personally prepare a room for you, vacate a job from your pet for you, and even help you when you confront the gods, but you must promise to stay and work in the Earth Spirit Temple until death takes your soul, or...... I'll help you keep death at bay. ”

Mo Ming stopped, and after listening, he took another step.

"You human beings can be rewarded with spiritual satisfaction for their gratuitous efforts, but it's a pity that I'm not so noble," Gu Mingdijue kept the same rhythm and unhurriedly embellished behind, "A long time ago, when I was traveling in the outside world, I saw a certain human custom - eating a fish called a puffer fish that I knew could be fatal, and I knew that I could not do it, just because I could get pleasure— I'm not a rigid monster who never knows how to be flexible, I don't always live just to abide by the rules, you are a rare human being that I can admire, if I stay here, I can take the risks that come with it for you and myself, in every sense of the word, even if I can't afford it in the first place, if not, just stay honest and don't appear in front of me, I will not get anything in return, I will only be dragged down by you...... You only get one choice. ”

Mo Ming didn't answer, and stopped in front of the hut.

"Yes, it's a pity. Gu Ming Dijue said very casually, no matter his expression or tone, he couldn't hear the feeling of regret.

"I think it's nice here. Mo Ming poked her head in and took a look, there was only a floor shop inside, and there were no other furnishings, and the hut couldn't even stand upright, it was almost a medium-sized tent.

Gu Ming Dijue nodded: "In terms of safety, as long as you don't go out of this garden, ordinary monsters and evil spirits don't dare to offend, maybe there is an unexpected situation, and Akong will probably deal with it...... Since you were sent by Yakumo Blue, by the way, I also entrusted that side to take care of your safety, and since there is a monster sage's Shikigami care for the diet, there shouldn't be any big problems. ”

Mo Ming nodded: "Okay." Got into the hut, rolled up the floor and took it outside.

"Then it's probably nothing?I'll ask Ah Lian to send a watch when I go back, there is no difference between the sun and the moon here, and if you stay for a long time, you won't be able to remember the time," Gu Ming Dijue took a step back and looked at Mo Ming dusting, "So I'll go first." "Turn and leave.

"Thanks," Mo Ming's voice came from behind him, "and, I'm sorry." ”

"When the time comes, let Yakumo Lan pick you up," Gu Ming Jijue's footsteps paused slightly, "And, take back the gift you prepared, since you have refused here, there is naturally no reason to accept it again, favor and repayment? This kind of thing goes on and on, and it is no different from hatred, it is really enough." ”

Mo Ming seemed to be about to say something, but Gu Ming Dijue interrupted him.

"If you can, don't appear in front of me again," waved his hand with his back to Mo Ming, and the pink-haired girl's figure was far away, still muttering in her mouth, "What did you say about that sentence?"

"Don't get married, it will only increase loneliness. ”

The author of "Scientific Name Mao Yu", who was free and easy with his front teeth, died suddenly due to sudden organ failure while writing, and died at the age of 28. Peers expressed deep condolences.

This year, the color of the flowers has changed, and who is there for the flowers to bloom next year? I have seen the pines and cypresses destroyed for salaries, and I have heard that the mulberry fields have become the sea.
