Mo Chen didn't settle down in the village, he just found a village to stay in for a while based on the principle of proximity.

And the villagers were very intimidated by his arrival at first, after all, the person who rode around on a demon horse that manipulated flames and carried a naginata knife didn't look like ordinary people.

It's hard to say whether it's even human or not, because you must know that in this era, there are ghosts and ghosts, and it is not strange that anything appears in the form of a human, not that something with a human form must be human.

— or rather, the more human-like something is, the more terrible it is.

Moreover, this young man also carried a wet and unconscious witch with a cloak of hair, which is really easy for people to make up at least 500,000 words of twists and turns and bizarre stories.

Well, that's right, it's still the kind of female frequency painting style of "the domineering president robs the people's daughter".

However, they didn't have the courage to refuse the other party's request, so they could only reluctantly agree, and let the vacant house in the village be used by Mo Chen.

After all, what you say is a good thing is a request, but if you refuse, who knows if the other party will use this as an excuse to suddenly attack? I can't really say for sure, because there are a lot of demons who are low and not high.

They no longer show pure primitive barbarism, but they imitate the strange twists and turns of human beings, but they have not fully learned, so that they seem to be completely vexatious......

However, considering that the purpose is the same, there is not much difference between learning and not learning.

After all, this method of human beings was invented to find an excuse to persecute their own kind, and they themselves are also to find a reason to ...... Ahem, so anyway, the purpose is the same, and the process and the like can be completely ignored.

But just a few days later, the attitude and thinking of the villagers have changed 180 degrees.

The young man, who didn't know if it was a human being, did not slowly show his fangs and began to persecute their village as they imagined, but remained that kind and amiable all the time.

And he's very kind and enthusiastic—

Any monster that appears nearby will immediately rush over to clean it up as soon as possible, and his strength is unimaginably strong, no matter what kind of monster it is, it is just a matter of a knife.

That's right, it's really always a knife!

No matter what kind of monster it is, regardless of size, race, or category, all of them are treated equally, without any skillful one-knife excess!

A human-sized monster was slashed to death, and a monster the size of a small mountain bag was still slashed to death.

On top of that, the young man didn't have any idea of asking for any reward at all, as if he was just taking it for granted......

In just a few days, the villagers felt that the safety factor in the area near the village had increased significantly, and the unprecedented sense of security even made them a little at a loss.

And there was the shrine maiden, who the villagers didn't think anything of it at the time, but when she woke up, she recovered and showed her healing skills......

Basically, if a few days ago the villagers regarded the two as plague gods, terrible monsters that could break out at any time, then now they regarded the two as the guardian spirits of the village.

Before, they wished that the two of them would leave as soon as possible, but now they wished that the two of them would settle in the village and stay for a long time.

- Of course, this is an unrealistic luxury after all.

Mo Chen didn't come to the Warring States Period to take a vacation, experience the idyllic scenery and leisurely life in the countryside, and return to the natural environment with a primitive style.

Not to mention anything else, when the nearby demons gradually decreased, he was also ready to leave. After all, the demon sword is about to be completed at the last moment, and the normal way is of course to complete the entire sacrificial process in one go!

There are still dozens or hundreds of kills left, if you don't make up enough as soon as possible, do you still stay and wait to pick an auspicious day for the zodiac to break through?

If it was a holy sword that was being sacrificed, maybe Mo Chen would still have such thoughts, but now that he was forging a demon sword, if he really wanted to pay attention to the day, it would definitely have nothing to do with the auspicious day.

It must be some kind of evil time such as the lunar year, the lunar month, the cloudy day, etc., which is more in line with that style of painting.

Moreover, the main reason is that Mo Chen himself also has an idea that he wants to verify-

He was going to go to sea in this era to see the island in the Dragon Delta region that was the ruins of the ancient kingdom of Yamatai, and see ...... Himiko.

What would have happened if he had managed to kill Himiko at this time? Will history really be changed?

Mo Chen was really curious about such a problem that was logically unsmooth in cause and effect, and in his mind that this was something impossible, just like the so-called grandmother paradox.

Either that, there are all kinds of coincidences, and you can't do that kind of thing that violates the logic of cause and effect.

Or, for various reasons, when you think you have changed history, you have actually become a part of history.

As for the specifics, he felt that he couldn't touch the real answer just by guessing, so he still needed to see it with his own eyes.

- It wasn't necessarily what he was really going to do, but it was only after he had seen it that he could know what he knew.

As for the bellflower, it is even more impossible to stay in such a small village.

From the moment she was resurrected, from the moment she continued to stay in the world with her resentful soul, from the moment she heard the news of the reappearance of the Jade of the Four Souls......

This shrine maiden is destined to take on some responsibilities, and it is impossible to escape the entanglement of grievances and grievances fifty years ago.

She is not Mo Chen, she can easily stay out of the whirlpool of cause and effect without being implicated.

In the past few days in the village, the shrine maiden has been quite calm, but she is also thinking carefully about her next plan, and she has also thought about the doubts about the incident in the past fifty years.

However, it was also time to prepare to leave, and it was pointless to stay in such a remote village all the time, and there was no point in carrying out any plans.

……

……

In the deep blue sky, the stars twinkled, pouring out thousands of silver glows.

The earth had fallen into a deep slumber, only the gentle breeze was blowing, and the village was shrouded in a deep silence.

The shrine maiden gently pushed the door open and stepped out, she glanced back at the outline of the quiet village in the darkness, deep it into her dark eyes, and then turned and gradually stepped into the dark night outside the village.

Kikyo drove through the farmland outside the village, and then slowly walked into the dense forest.

The forest was too quiet at night, and Kikyo walked alone in this quiet forest, except for the chirping of insects, and by chance because of a gust of night wind, the canopy above rustled sound.

However, this creepy scene did not move Kikyo, who was so calm that she seemed to be accustomed to it, and just walked quietly along the forest road.

After all, in the case of that person's indiscriminate chopping of melons and vegetables in the past few days, there is no danger from the ghost in the vicinity of the village. If there are any monsters, then it must be the type that can be communicated.

At least not the kind of guy who only knows primitive instincts, no matter how strong or weak, they all have real wisdom and rationality, and basically don't do much harm -

It's not that they're really friendly to humans, but as long as they don't take the initiative to provoke them, then they won't be like those low-level monsters, basically without the idea of attacking humans.

This type of outlier is said to be a lot less, and even the killing pill is such a type - that noble son will not take human life in his eyes, but he will also not take the initiative to attack humans and take the initiative to kill the weak.

It doesn't matter if it's pride, or it's disdain.

That's probably a good thing anyway.

Besides, even if there are many youkai near the village, as the most powerful shrine maiden in the entire Warring States period, the forest at night is not a problem for Kikyo at all.

As she walked, the trees in front of her thinned out, and the glade between them became wider. A short time later, a large pond appeared in front of her.

On a quiet moonlit night, the bright moonlight is reflected on the water surface of the pond, and it is as white as a piece of white jade. And the stars in the night sky are like countless pearls falling on the sparkling water.

At this point, the shrine maiden stopped, stood at the edge of the pond, looked around, and then stretched out her slender fingertips to gently sweep the night wind.

A few faint bits of white light emerged, and then from the forest on the opposite side of the pond, several dead soul insects with long bodies and pale white-green bodies slowly flew out.

Each of them grabbed a glowing ball of soft white light, and it swirled and flew towards the bellflower in mid-air.

The Dead Soul Worm is a very weak monster, usually does not hurt people, and has almost no combat power and defense, except for being able to carry out some simple physical intervention, the only thing it has is the ability to collect dead souls.

They serve all the dead who lack a true soul, and Kikyo is now also a deceased due to the resurrection of the body made of ashes and grave soil by the oni girl Rito.

Her soul is mutilated and incomplete, not so much a soul, but rather a combination of the consciousness of life and the resentment of dying, which supports and enables "her" to continue to exist.

However, even so, she was only aware of her own existence, and her body needed to be filled with dead souls before she could act, so she could only use the dead soul worm to collect the dead souls of dead girls for herself.

However, the village is too remote and uninhabited, and the Necro Worm is very slow to collect the Necrocytes.

She has been collecting dead souls for the past few days, but it is only today that she finally meets the requirement to be able to move freely.

This was one of the reasons why she felt that she should have left, after all, before today, she was not mobile enough to allow her to leave the vicinity of the village too far.

"Actually, I think it's a lot more convenient for you to use a Four Soul Fragment directly......"

At this time, a voice suddenly came from the side.

“……！！”

The witch was raising a hand, allowing a dead soul insect that had completed the task to gently touch her slender fingers, and she was slightly startled when she heard the sound, and she subconsciously turned her head to look.

I saw that from the dark shadow of the forest on the other side, Mo Chen walked out, and it was obviously him talking just now.

Kikyo couldn't help frowning slightly.

She didn't quite understand why the other party was here, and to be honest, there had been no direct contact between the two after that simple conversation that day.

In the past few days, as her mobility has recovered, she can act near the village, and I have only heard that the villagers have discussed the matter of this person who is interested in exterminating demons around the village.

It is precisely because of this that the bellflower has gradually changed from a purely vigilant and vigilant attitude at the beginning to a simple feeling of some doubts.

After all, at the beginning, she saw a certain essence of the other party at a glance, and didn't believe that the other party would really save her because of some "human nature", "kindness", "kindness" and other reasons.

After all, the person knew her identity, and she was not a purely human being......

It could even be said that it was some kind of existence that was in natural opposition to her.
