When Does This World Have a Blood Bar Displayed?

   Chapter 110 Departure and Arrival

   There are two other people walking along the winding road along the river bank, a modern youth in casual clothes and a cold woman in a witch costume, but they are walking in another direction.

  The wisps of morning light hit the ground like swords and arrows, gently disintegrating the remnants of the night. No matter what happened last night, the sun will rise as usual.

   "Let me ask you one thing first... Are you going to collect the Four Soul Jade Fragments?"

  The witch goddess looked calm, and seemed to have recovered from the blow last night, at least on the surface, it was invisible. She walked quietly in front of her, and at the same time asked such a question.

"It depends on the situation. If I encounter it, of course I will collect it..." Gu Mo's thoughts were turning rapidly, and he still gave such an answer. He didn't really want the Four Soul Jade Fragment. It's just that it's not very suitable to say that I have no interest at all at this time.

   Although Kikyo would definitely like to hear such words, but that also means...she doesn't even have the only reason to go with her.

   "You're going to use their power?"

The    Miko's expression did not change at all, and she continued to ask while walking in front of her. She had asked this question before, but now the question is obviously different from the previous intention.

Gu Mo pretended to think seriously and pondered for a while, but still shook his head: "If possible, I don't want to take this risk, you also said that each additional piece of debris will bring more power, but with What will come will be even more terrible evil pollution."

He blinked and added, intentionally or unintentionally, "I don't necessarily need to collect other pieces, but if I don't collect them, someone will definitely come to me with other pieces... …”

The shrine maiden walking in front nodded lightly, this reason is reasonable, not to gain more, but to take the initiative to prevent threats from others... If this person's purpose of collecting other fragments is so simple, then he and he The fundamental positions do not seem to conflict.

Of course--

   The question of whether the other party's statement is true or not requires her to personally verify it later, and she cannot unconditionally trust it simply because of a few questions and answers.

   "Speaking of which, can you sense other fragments of the Jade of Four Souls from Kikyo?" Gu Mo sighed softly, and then asked again.

   "Yes, but it can't be too far away, it must be in the vicinity..." The witch nodded lightly.

   As long as she is not far from a certain Four Soul Jade Fragment, she can detect the existence of the Four Soul Fragment by her own induction. Different from the situation where the monsters and ghosts noticed that the power of the jade was active and were attracted to the past, even if the piece of jade of the four souls was just dormant, no one noticed it.

  Its power is not used by anyone, and there is no escape of power and aura. The situation that should not be discovered by anyone will be directly sensed by Kikyo to the exact location.

This is a special ability that no one has. Probably she reincarnated with the Jade of the Four Souls and reincarnated together after 500 years, so she acquired the strange ability... From such a point of view, Kagome at sunset It also has this strange ability, and the protagonist group also relies on this to travel around the world and collect scattered fragments.

Gu Mo nodded thoughtfully, and then stopped talking. He could also divination the position of other fragments by contacting the four-soul jade fragment he held, but it was a rough and vague Ambiguous results, it is difficult to lock the specific location this way.

It is estimated that there are many wizards, monsters, etc. who can do this kind of thing. After all, they always have to have a general direction to look for, and it is impossible to just wander around, find a needle in a haystack, and collect debris purely by chance... But Even so, it was very difficult to collect.

To be honest, if you really want fragments, it would be good to ambush Inuyasha and the others now... At this time, they have collected a lot of fragments, and it seems to be a small piece of jade, which is probably close to one-third of the full version. One piece of the piece, if you grab it directly, you will be rich.

   Gu Mo thought so, and stopped talking, the air between the two became quiet again unconsciously.

In fact, from the middle of last night to now, the two sides have walked all night, but they have not spoken more than 20 sentences to each other... In this way, neither of them discussed what happened last night, nor did they talk about it. Not saying anything else, it seems to form a silent tacit understanding——

   As if it was because of Gu Mo's previous invitation, Kikyo also made up his mind to leave, and the two of them went on the road together.

  ——But it could also be that Kikyo was in a bad mood at the time, and was not able to think carefully, and the decision he made was influenced by his mindset...

Gu Mo, who still feels that this development is a little unreal, was walking on the rough road, feeling the air where the witch in front of him passed by, and a faint medicinal fragrance left behind for a short time, thinking about this in his mind. Then, a strange thought appeared.

   After all, he didn't actually expect to become like this. In fact, just yesterday, he had already given up his original idea and was ready to set off on his own. But he didn't expect that just one day later, the situation would take a sharp turn.

Although he had already thought about this possibility when the old monk appeared on the stage, he didn't expect it to go so smoothly...Especially at the moment when Kikyo said "Let's go", he almost didn't react. The words that came here were spoken to myself.

  Because he knew that Kikyo might be because of this incident, which prompted her to make up her mind to regain her longbow and arrows and embark on a journey to the Warring States Period. But he was not too hopeful about joining his team, because in the original trajectory of fate, the priestess chose to be alone.

   Even in the face of Inuyasha and others, she didn't choose to go with her... Although there must be Kagome Higoku's existence, it can also be seen from Kikyo's behavior.

  ——So it is not surprising that Gu Mo would have such thoughts and doubts right now.

  ——After all, Kikyo can go on the road by itself, just like the original fate.

However, people are always prone to fall into a misunderstanding, that is, when faced with a certain problem, if someone gives some specific choices for this problem, the thinking of the person concerned will seem to be limited, and subconsciously, he feels that he has to make a decision among the specific choices given.

  Either choose this or choose that, you have to choose one...

   completely forgot that in addition to these choices, there may be more freedom of operation, and he does not necessarily have to choose from them.

Kikyo may be like this. From Gu Mo's point of view, she was probably shaken by the old monk's words first, and then because of Xiao Ye's instinctive fear, which exacerbated her sadness at that time. mood, which prompted her hastily made up her mind to leave.

   In the end, it was the invitation that Gu Mo sent before, and it was also a subtle influencing factor——

   She refused the invitation because she didn't want to leave the village, and when she wanted to leave the village, she didn't have to accept the invitation. It's just that the Miko's mood was not right at the time, she was too hurried and melancholy, so she didn't think about it so much, and subconsciously she also made a choice between "staying in the village" and "accepting the invitation to leave"...

   Trying to analyze the Miko's mental activities at that time, Gu Mo looked thoughtful.

   But at this moment, the priestess walking in front suddenly stopped and stood in place.

   Gu Mo, who was walking behind, was careless for a while, and his footsteps kept absent-minded, and almost hit him directly. Fortunately, he reacted in time to stop the car at the last moment. The shrine maiden looked back at him with a strange frown, but she didn't say anything, instead she pointed to the river next to her—

   "Look at the one in the river." She said lightly.

Um?

Gu Mo blinked his eyes, and also looked in the direction of the Kikyo. He saw that on the Pentium River flowing downstream in front of him, there was a dark object floating up and down in the rushing waves, just beside the two of them. .

   After seeing what that thing was, he suddenly snorted: "Eh? Wait, is that thing a human head? Did something happen upstream of the river?"

He watched the head float on the water, but then a flash of light flashed in his mind, as if he had thought of something, he shook his head again and again to deny his subconscious first reaction: "No, this seems to be the fruit of a human face. "

Kikyo opened her mouth to explain, but found that the person had already responded in time. She was not surprised, but nodded slightly: "It's a human face fruit... There must be such a demon tree growing upstream, I don't know how much it has grown. Probably eaten a lot of people."

   As she said that, her delicate brows were tightly knit together.

  Because I saw several "heads" drifting down from the upstream river, and it seems that there are still people who continue to drift down.

  These fruits are the size of a football, with human facial features on the surface, the skin is the same color as skin, and even hair grows on the top...

   If it wasn't for the absence of any wounds or bloodstains, it really looked like a beheaded human head... At this moment, such "human heads" were drifting down from the upstream one after another...

   Bellflower couldn't help but raised his eyebrows, the fruits produced by the human face are like human heads, hence the name.

   But if it wants results, it will eat people. Because it is a man-eating demon tree, only those who are eaten will turn into the fruit of a human face... It is not ruled out that someone died near the demon tree by chance, so that this demon tree can bear fruit in twos and threes, but for now it is smooth. There are so many ripe fruits that flow down...

   Maybe someone is feeding the demon tree, or it may be that the demon tree has become a climate.

   "emmmmm...this thing is really curious."

  Gu Mo was already squatting by the river, took out a long metal fishing rod from his jacket pocket, hooked a fruit with the line, and dragged it back.

Throwing the fishing rod made by projection magic aside, he grabbed a tuft of hair, picked up the fruit, and looked at the human facial features growing on it. With the closed eyes, he felt a strange illusion in his heart for a moment, like He really beheaded someone, and he was holding the other person's head in his hand to check.

   This feels really perverted.

   "Human face fruit is the fruit of the demon tree. Although you can gain power for a short time by eating it, you will lose your mind..." The witch behind her watched quietly and said calmly.

"Don't worry, I don't want to eat this kind of thing..." Gu Mo twitched the corners of his mouth, he wasn't so mad, this is not the ginseng fruit of Zhenyuan Daxian, and he dared to grow up like this, how confident he must be !

   took a look at the attributes marked by the system, basically what Kikyo said.

   threw away the fruit in his hand, and he turned to look in the direction of the witch: "Let's go and have a look, anyway, we are going this way."

  …

  …

   On the other side—

In the previous village, Kagome and his party had followed the clues to get here, but they were in vain, because their target left in the middle of the night last night, and now they don't know how far they have gone. Distance, naturally will not meet.

   "Miko-sama is really a good person..."

   "Why did you just leave without saying a word to us!"

   "I didn't see Miss Kikyo going out today, so I felt it was wrong, and Mr. Mo too..."

   "It's all to blame for the two monks from yesterday! It must be their fault! Damn it! I should have broken their dog legs!"

In the face of the visit of Inuyasha and his party, they found that they were inquiring about the whereabouts of the beloved Miko-sama. The villagers who were already mad at first thought they were like the two hateful bald donkeys from yesterday. It was so turbulent that it almost rushed up with a **** and a dung fork.

   After finally explaining it clearly, the misunderstanding was cleared up, and the villagers also vomited bitterly, indicating that the sorceress had left overnight last night. While sighing and sighing, some people gritted their teeth and hated the profession of monk.

   After all, if they wanted to come, the two bald donkeys from yesterday were bad! Otherwise, dear Miss Kikyo will not leave!

   "Why do I always feel like they want to kill me..."

  Master Maitreya had a stiff smile on his face, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and the villagers in all directions were very unfriendly to him, which made him feel a lot of pressure.

   Wearing a red fire rat fur, the silver-haired half-demon with a pair of canine ears on his forehead remained silent and silently looked at the village in front of him.

"Inuyasha..." The girl in the sailor suit at the back didn't know what she felt in her heart. When she got the clues from the two monks in the early morning, when she was about to come over, Inuyasha wanted to come by herself and didn't want them to interfere... Or should I say , I don't want her to interfere.

   took a deep breath, she was about to say something when she found that Inuyasha had already walked forward.

   Several people looked at each other, looked at each other a few times, and followed suit. After a while, he came to a house on the edge of the village. Although it seemed to be different from other houses in the village, there was a faint medicinal fragrance in the air, and Kagome suddenly realized that this was the previous residence of Kikyo?

   "Who are you?!"

   At this moment, the door curtain of the house was lifted, and a little girl who was a little lost came out from the inside, followed by a group of other half-sized ghosts, all of whom looked uninterested and rather frustrated.

When I went out, I saw several strangers standing in front of the house. The little girl suddenly became vigilant and asked cautiously. After all, the opposite side was either a fancy dress, or a half-demon or a monster with demon-like characteristics, but she did not see the other party negotiating with the villagers. They will naturally be on guard subconsciously.

   didn't say anything, Inuyasha passed the window, glanced at how empty the house was, and sighed: "Let's go... Kikyo has left here and won't come back."

   "You are talking nonsense! Sister Kikyo will definitely come back!"

   When the little girl heard the words, she immediately blurted out angrily and shouted loudly.

   She was frightened last night. After all, she was still a child, so she couldn't blame her instinctive reaction at that time. But after the two left, she realized that she felt regretful and annoyed. Even though she was immature, she also vaguely understood that it was probably her performance at the time that made the witch sister leave sadly.

   However, it is difficult for adults to look directly at their own problems, they will escape from reality, they will deny the facts, let alone a child.

   So Xiaoye is also stubborn to think that the witch sister will definitely come back, and the big brother too! Now that she heard the firm words of the stranger on the opposite side, she naturally couldn't bear it any longer, and retorted loudly: "Sister Kikyo told me that she would not leave, and she will stay with her big brother after she gets married. Inside the village!"

   That's what the village chief grandpa said! Everyone says so!

   Absolutely! Absolutely it is like this! Xiaoye's heart stubbornly thought so! She couldn't accept the fact that the two just left the village.

   "You... what did you say!!"

   Inuyasha didn't care about the anger of such a little devil at first, and turned to leave, but now he turned back all of a sudden, his eyes widened!

  …

  …

the other side.

The surrounding mist is dreary, and the visibility is very low. The sides of the river bank are no longer rocky beaches or barren open spaces, but have become layers of uneven rock walls. A deep valley where no sunlight can penetrate.

   "Ah!"

   rubbed his nose at will, Gu Mo looked up at the big tree in front of him, and said, "Is this what it is? Human face fruit tree?"

This is a big tree with lush branches, exuding a sweet fragrance, growing on a protruding shoal on the bank of the river. The tree is covered with fruits the size of human heads. At first glance, it seems to be huge. The peaches, but in fact they are all "human heads".

  The two of them followed the upstream direction from which the fruit drifted, and they found it all the way, and they saw the source of it as they wished.

"This is it……"

The witch stepped forward and looked up at the human head fruits on the tree, her brows furrowed and she said softly, "This demon tree grows in such a remote place, how could it have the chance to eat so much. It's not a monster yet."

The    monster tree is very spiritual, but it has not transformed into a real monster, it is still just a plant. It can't jump, can't run, and can't leave the place where it took root, where it has always grown.

   "Someone is feeding it..."

If she looked up and looked up, Kikyo's eyes continued to rise along with the uneven rock wall, and entered the hazy mist. Although she couldn't see what the scene was like on the mountain, she could feel it. get something.

   "There is a jade fragment on it." The witch said calmly.

   "Ha, this is really talking about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here..." Gu Mo chuckled lightly, he clarified the plot in his mind, and recalled where this place is.

It seems to be a secluded place of immortals called Taoyuan Township, but now it is full of smog, and the old immortal is also unsuspectingly plotted by his own disciples, and Taoyuan Township is occupied by doves. The ruthless disciple who gained power by eating human noodles and plotted against his master is the Taoguo man who currently occupies this place.

  There seems to be a lot of good things here, except for the crooked things like human face fruit, just the old immortal's original legacy is a very rich legacy.

Gu Mo remembered that there was a garden bonsai, which could create a landscape and a cave, allowing people to cultivate and live in this small world. Originally, it was used by the old immortals to hone the will of the disciples and make them practice hard. Later, it became a peach fruit. A place to raise human beings as meat animals for their own consumption.

   In addition to this magical bonsai cave, there is also an ancient vine staff that can grow and shrink people or monsters at will, which can **** people in, and a gourd with an independent space inside.

All in all, they are all very good babies. They play a very strong role with the ferocity of the Taoguo people. I remember that the protagonist group and others were very embarrassed here, and they were almost beaten to death... Wait, how do you feel that they always It looks like it almost collapsed?

   Gu Mo thought about it and said casually, "Do you want to cut down this tree first?"

   Kikyo shook his head and pointed his finger above: "Go up and see the situation first, don't startle the snake..."

   She beckoned gently, with light spots appearing around her, and summoned several flying snakes with slender bodies and graceful postures, as if they were going to fly up the mountain directly on the dead soul worm.

  Gu Mo watched from the side and raised his hand like a primary school student: "That—can you drop me a way, Kikyo?"

   Facing the shrine maiden's calm gaze, looking directly at those Qiushui eyes, he acted very calmly, and said without any guilt: "I can't fly."
