I'm modifying myself into the ultimate demon.

Chapter 66 Winning over
Chen Mo, with his keen senses, recognized the person as Guo Ziyu just by hearing the voice.

However... Guo Ziyu's voice is really a bit scary.

Looking back, I saw Guo Ziyu walking towards me, dressed in a white silk dress. I'd seen her sitting earlier, but now that she was standing, I realized she had a... very nice figure.

She was wearing a white dress and had her hair disheveled in the middle of the night, which looked quite creepy.

The woman clearly recognized Guo Ziyu and quickly knelt down before him, pleading tearfully, "Manager Guo, I know you are very capable, please let me see Erhu. I beg you!"

His head hit the snow with a loud "thump".

Eh.

Guo Ziyu sighed and said, "Go and get five incense sticks, then point them westward, insert them unevenly, and light them."

The woman thanked him, rushed into the house like a madwoman, quickly took out five incense sticks, and stuck them haphazardly into the half-taro head, facing west, before lighting them.

Seeing that there was no problem with the incense sticks, Guo Ziyu took out a small porcelain bottle from her body, poured out a drop of clear liquid, dripped it onto her finger, and then applied it to the corner of the woman's eye.

"This is specially made cow tears. Apply it to the corners of your eyes. After you have prayed to the Red Lantern Goddess, you will be able to see Erhu."

The woman quickly knelt down and bowed to the Red Lantern Goddess. Then, when she looked up again, she saw Erhu standing prettily in front of her. She leaned over and tried to hug Erhu, but she only managed to hug empty air.

"Erhu... Mother misses you."

"Mother, Erhu misses you too."

"..."

Guo Ziyu seemed used to such scenes and didn't feel anything special. She took out a piece of yellow paper, imprinted Erhu's handprint on it, and then stuffed it into the woman's hand.

"The two tigers cannot linger long after leaving the cold pool filled with resentment. Burn this talisman before dawn to send the two tigers to be reincarnated. Do not delay the time."

"Thank you so much, Steward Guo! Thank you so much, young master!" The woman kowtowed to Chen Mo and Erhu again, and then told Erhu to kneel down: "Erhu, quickly thank the young master and Steward Guo."

Erhu knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Thank you, big brother, thank you, big sister."

Chen Mo and Guo Ziyu left.

Even after walking quite a distance, I could still hear the voices of a mother and child behind me.

"Mother, I shouldn't have disobeyed you... If there is an afterlife, I will still be your son. I will definitely be obedient."

"Erhu... If I have a next life, I will still be your mother."

"..."

As they walked further and further away, the sound gradually became blurred and indistinct.

As Chen Mo walked side by side with Guo Ziyu, he seemed to sense something and couldn't help but think of his parents from his previous life.

If there truly is an afterlife, Chen Mo wouldn't want to come to this world teeming with strange occurrences...

Just then, Guo Ziyu spoke up, "I didn't realize you were such a kind-hearted person."

Chen Mo composed himself and said, "I must thank Miss Ziyu for arriving in time, otherwise... Erhu would have missed his reincarnation and perished. By the way, why did Miss Ziyu come here in the middle of the night?"

coincidence?

Chen Mo felt it was unlikely that such a coincidence could happen.

As Guo Ziyu walked towards Black Mountain Village, she said, "I'll wait for you here."

Chen Mo was taken aback. "Wait for me?"

Even if they have to wait for me, shouldn't I wait in the village?

Guo Ziyu seemed to see Chen Mo's confusion and said, "I should have waited for you in the village. But I thought about it again and decided to come here instead."

Chen Mo recalled Guo Ziyu's earlier words, "kind-hearted and benevolent," and understood her intention: she wanted to see if he would bring Erhu back and to see what kind of character he was.

Was the reason you gave yourself the blood peach wood earlier because you were worried about me dying?

Chen Mo never used the blood peach wood sword, mainly because the blood fire was enough to fight against it.

The problem is... isn't Guo Ziyu paying too much attention to me?

Guo Ziyu didn't offer any explanation, only asking, "Did you kill Li Binghui?"

Chen Mo nodded in agreement.

Guo Ziyu then asked, "Would it be convenient to talk about the details?"

Chen Mo pondered for a moment, knowing that this matter couldn't be hidden. So he recounted the whole process in detail. Except for concealing the matter of absorbing ghost energy and casting the Bloodfire Seal, he told everything else without reservation.

After listening, Guo Ziyu looked Chen Mo up and down, and smiled for the first time. "Using a ghost to fight a ghost, you're quite clever. This time, Yuanzhu is deliberately targeting you. Going to Fushouzhuang is probably not a good place for you."

Chen Mo sized up the woman in front of him, who looked rather sinister, and finally understood why she was paying so much attention to him.

Attracting talent!

Do I consider myself a talent?
That's for sure...

Chen Mo had that much confidence...

It came at the perfect time.

Chen Mo tentatively asked, "So, what does Miss Ziyu mean?"

Guo Ziyu said, "The gates of my Fortune and Misfortune Manor are always open for you."

Although Guo Ziyu spoke calmly, Chen Mo still keenly sensed that she was a little nervous. Perhaps she was afraid that she might impulsively go to Fushouzhuang with Li Yuanlong.

So... is it time to set a price?
Chen Mo deliberately feigned difficulty, saying, "I'm afraid this matter will be hard to handle."

Sure enough, Guo Ziyu's gaze darkened. "Why is it so difficult to handle?"

Chen Mo said, "My father gave Li Yuanlong a large sum of money before, which was how I found an opportunity to learn skills in the village. Moreover, Li Yuanlong even came to welcome me. If I rashly change the village, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it to Master Li or my father."

Guo Ziyu was a little anxious, "With your quick wit, you should be able to tell that he's targeting you."

Chen Mo responded tactfully, "Wherever there are people, there is a world of intrigue; wherever there is intrigue, there is conflict. This is unavoidable. If I can't even see this clearly, I'm afraid Miss Ziyu will be disappointed in me."

When Guo Ziyu first heard the first half of the sentence, she thought the person was a bit stubborn. But after hearing the second half, she immediately felt that the person had a clear understanding.

Yes.

Wherever there are people, there is conflict; wherever there is conflict, there is strife. Even in Fortune and Misfortune Village, such conflicts are unavoidable.

Thinking of this, Guo Ziyu couldn't help but look at Chen Mo with higher regard, finding him more pleasing to the eye and more valuable to win over.

After a moment's thought, Guo Ziyu said, "Li Yuanlong is a wicked man and may not be truly sincere in teaching you. Do you know that?"

Chen Mo said, "I know. But I'm not familiar with Miss Ziyu, so how can I know that you would treat me sincerely?"

Guo Ziyu: "..."

I was so choked up that I was speechless.

Guo Ziyu was always a quiet and unassuming person, who didn't like to compete with anyone and had little competitive spirit. But Chen Mo's words stirred up her long-dormant thoughts.

She knew that Chen Mo had a reason for joining the Fortune and Misfortune Manor.

But I just can't say it now.

She scrutinized Chen Mo for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh, "Young Master Mo sees things so clearly, then I will not hide anything. Young Master Mo is originally a young master from a prominent family in the county, living a life of luxury, and there is no need for you to come here to suffer. Now that you have come, it must be because you want to learn the skill of exorcising evil spirits. I can promise Young Master Mo four words: I will teach you everything I know."

Chen Mo sensed the resolute determination in Guo Ziyu's eyes, which seemed genuine.

But he said, "Instead of giving me empty promises, Miss Ziyu, why don't you give me something practical?"

Guo Ziyu stared wide-eyed, speechless, thinking to herself: This guy looks young, but he's not easy to fool.

Finally, Guo Ziyu simply got straight to the point, "Young Master Mo, please state your conditions directly."

Chen Mo smiled: "Miss Ziyu is truly a straightforward person. I most enjoy associating with straightforward people. I want the complete Mingyu Gong."

Having experienced slaying the White-Robed Ghost twice, Silent deeply realized the power of the Bloodfire Seal and its extraordinary restraining effect on ghosts.

The powerful Fiery Palm is merely an incomplete, introductory chapter of the Mingyu Skill.

This shows how powerful Mingyu Gong is!

Chen Mo was unaware of Black Mountain Village's other exorcism abilities.

But Mingyu Gong must be incredibly powerful.

Once Ming Yugong is captured, the bottom line for coming to Black Mountain Village will be clear.

As for the excuse that it's hard to explain to my father, Li Yuanlong... those are just pretexts.
