Gu Mo stretched and stood up from the floor in the study room. He moved his hands and feet a few times, and his body made a slight crackling sound.
Unknowingly, he has been reading for a long time. The books, notes, etc. in his hand, and the study notes left by the old immortals have also changed one after another, from the most orthodox and fundamental immortal cultivation methods to various kinds of Mysterious magic, formulas of one kind or another, customs records recorded during travels to various places, illustrated guides for various monsters...
It can be seen that the old immortal has rich experience and has a really deep knowledge base.
It's just a pity...
However, the specialization of the Four Souls Jade is indeed very powerful. It has been reflected many times in the original plot. Ordinary cannon fodder monsters can become vicious and difficult to deal with after receiving a fragment. Things that are originally ordinary can also This will turn into a vicious and terrifying curse.
When used in the attack system, it can strengthen the attack and enhance the weapon. When used in the defensive system, it can strengthen the armor and enhance resistance. When used in the recovery system, it can heal injuries and even bring the dead back to life... These targeted specializations bring all kinds of benefits. "Extremely effective enhancement" is something that is obvious to all.
The Human Face Fruit was originally poisonous enough to cause people to lose their minds, and the power of the Four Souls Jade specifically made it effective in this area. In addition, the old immortal himself was unprepared for his disciples, so naturally he was accidentally infected. .
Perhaps his spiritual realm is very strong and he can recover his mind very quickly, but the weakness of his physical body is fatal. He only lost his mind in a short period of time, and his disciples took the opportunity to directly destroy the physical body... In a sense Said that it was really aggrieved to die.
Gu Mo thought wildly for a while, then raised his eyebrows and looked out the study window.
The setting sun has already set in the west and seems to be slowly sinking towards the horizon. There is no sunset glow on the sky. Occasionally, only a few clouds soaked in the afterglow slowly float by. The time has come to dusk unknowingly... The witch is still there for the time being. did not return.
Platycodon platycodon had already cleaned up the fish that had slipped through the net before, and then asked him to go to the bonsai in the courtyard. After using the old immortal professor's technique to test it several times, he successfully released the people trapped inside and the bonsai at the same time. This gold-level item was put away.
After the trapped people were released, they all looked stupid and stupid, like walking zombies, without any reaction at all.
The witch said that their minds have been affected, but as long as they are no longer under control, they should be able to recover over time... But they still have basic instincts, just like in bonsai, they also know how to cultivate the land, so it is Don't worry about their ability to take care of themselves.
——There are houses here in Taoyuan Mountain and there is enough food.
——In addition, all dangers have been eliminated by them, and the conditions here are enough for these people to live here until their minds recover.
After completing all this, Platycodon grandiflorum went to see the old immortal off for the last time... Gu Mo naturally followed him. After all, it was hard not to show any signs of inheriting someone else's rich inheritance.
After the dying old immortal emerged and ascended to heaven, the witch said that she wanted to purify the human-faced fruit tree at the foot of the mountain. Although it was an immature and not even a real monster, after all, it had eaten so many people, so it still needed to be dealt with properly. , cannot be left carelessly.
But regarding this matter, she asked Gu Mo not to follow him down - she seemed to think it was troublesome for him and didn't want to bring someone who couldn't fly to play with, otherwise she would probably have to bring him up later.
Gu Mo didn't agree with this either. What could he do if he couldn't fly now... But since Kikyo said so, he could continue to study with peace of mind.
"Why don't we take advantage of the moment and tidy up first..."
Although the witches haven't come back yet, he can't be idle now. Gu Mo looked around and saw that the study was indeed quite big, but he still had to find a way to move all these notebooks and books. After all, they didn't Maybe if you stay here, you will definitely continue on the road.
But fortunately, I got the "Peach Garden Immortal's Gourd" before. This can also be used to store things - and it is not like his inventory, which has troublesome restrictions and cannot accept things without attributes.
The gourd has a classic dumbbell-like shape, with a thin middle and enlarged lower and upper parts. The internal space is naturally divided into two inner chambers. The larger space below can be used to store things, while the smaller space above can be used to suck in enemies, trap them or refine them alive.
The spaces are quite large. The small one is equivalent to the current study room, and the large one is three times the size of the former.
Gu Mo diligently started to clean up the study, and quickly put all the letters and books into the gourd. Because he put them directly with the bookshelf, he quickly moved the entire study. empty.
"Huh...it's perfect. What else should I do?"
Gu Mo looked at the empty room, wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead, and started thinking seriously again.
Oh, right--
It seems that he has been promoted to a level before, and there is still a free attribute point that has not been allocated.
He remembered this incident, and skillfully used projection magic to open his system panel and click on the upgrade page. After a quick glance at his basic attributes, he quickly made a decision to allocate the newly acquired points to his mental attributes.
Mental attributes are related to the upper limit of mental power and energy intensity, which in turn determines the intensity of spells, affecting the skill effects of telekinesis, telepathy, mental illusion, etc... It is also an important attribute that supports "fatigue value", because you want to To carry out various activities, in addition to having the most intuitive physical strength, you also need to have enough spirit.
——Spirit plus physical strength, this is the true meaning of the concept of energy.
——So strengthening this attribute is undoubtedly the most cost-effective for him.
And the most important thing is that his current spirit has reached the level of 17 points. It always feels like there is a layer of window paper, and as long as it is pierced, he can discover a new world... So, adding such a point, it reaches 18 If you order it, it should be enough, right?
After adding a point and confirming his choice, he felt his already abundant mental energy suddenly swirling, as if a huge boulder had been thrown into an originally calm pond.
The violent waves rolled like wild waves, and suddenly burst out in his mind!
This is a feeling so strong that it cannot be described in words. It is not a tearing pain, but it is as if at this moment, Gu Mo opened a strong shackles deep in his soul, letting go of the huge and tightly locked body. Potential erupts like a volcano!
At this moment, he couldn't think about anything, and all his perception seemed to be concentrated in his mind.
His mental power is growing rapidly, and at the same time it seems to have penetrated into every minute part of his body. It is not exaggerated to say that he can directly feel it at the cellular level, but he can indeed "see" the heart beating in the body clearly, and the blood is being The pump washes the blood vessels, every organ is pulsing and cooperating with each other, the precise structure and operation of the human body...
At the same time as the inner vision was achieved, the scrolling of mental power seemed to reach a critical point, and then suddenly spread out!
After Gu Mo "saw" the inside of his body, organ structure, etc., he then "saw" the back of his head, the wall behind him, and the corridor outside the study...
This is the spiritual power being spread outwards, extending in all directions like a spider web, and wherever his spiritual power touches is where his perception also spreads. Just like a spider can sense vibrations in its web and thus detect what is happening.
"That's true. Is 18 points of attribute value the critical line for a qualitative change in spiritual power..."
Muttering to himself, Gu Mo manipulated his mental tentacles to spread in surprise, feeling that this breakthrough was really great, even though it was expected.
Upgrading is getting slower and slower, but each upgrade still only gives one point, and only the improvement feedback of life level can freely choose the direction of evolution. The professional level is also limited to the locked bonus brought by a specific knowledge system... and What these exchange for is a huge increase brought by each point.
This growth rate is not clear, but judging from the fact that every time the physical attributes or mental attributes are strengthened, the upper limit of physical and mental strength seems to increase by at least half of the current basis, this is undoubtedly an amazing growth...
You may not be able to tell it at the beginning, because even if you directly increase the current ability by half, the basic value in the early stage is still relatively small, and the improvement is not obvious... If you say 10 points of mental attributes, the corresponding It is to quantify 100 points of mental power, then 11 points of mental attribute is 150 points of mental power.
And 12 points of mental attributes correspond to 225 points of mental power.
It seems that at 11 o'clock, it is 1.5 times that of a normal person, and at 12 o'clock, it is only about double that of a normal person... But if it continues to increase, by the time the mental attribute reaches 17 points, the mental power will already be It is seventeen times that of a normal person, and now that it has been strengthened to 18 points, it is already twenty-five times that of a normal person.
This is just a pure competition of orders of magnitude, without counting the difference in intensity - after all, the higher the basic attributes, the stronger the mental strength will definitely be.
But now, both the quantity and quality of his mental power have reached an extremely astonishing level. Naturally, Gu Mo has finally crossed a certain key threshold of the spiritual realm, unearthed his hidden potential in this field, and revealed his complete abilities. Extraordinary supernatural powers.
"Is the range detection only so large? The radius seems to be barely less than a hundred meters...emmmmm, what if the mental power is projected in a straight line?"
He noticed that the "spiritual field of vision" spread out evenly with his body as the center began to become difficult when it expanded to a certain extent, and he knew that this was probably the current limit.
It's not that there is no way to continue spreading, but if it continues to extend outward, the consumption of mental power begins to increase dramatically, and perception and attention seem to start to become blurred outside that range... Perhaps increasing the perception attribute can also strengthen this. In terms of aspects, are the attributes really related to each other?
He tried to withdraw his evenly released mental power, and instead condensed a strand of mental power into a thin line and projected it directly in the direction he chose. This kind of straight-line detection distance instantly exceeded the previous range observation radius, and it continued to extend, and there was no feeling of strenuousness at the same time.
It's just that I don't have the feeling that all the surrounding disturbances can't be hidden from my perception. After all, unlike the 360-degree full-angle field of view with no blind spots, this kind of straight-line detection can only see things in one direction, and the perception is also very limited... There are pros and cons to each.
"Huh?"
Gu Mo, who was playing with a new toy with great interest, suddenly froze for a moment. Naturally, he wanted to see where Platycodon was, so he extended his mental tentacles down the mountain, but it turned out to be just right. Saw a group of uninvited guests arriving.
"Coming to deliver a courier?"
…………
"Platycodon..."
Finally stopping his running pace, Inuyasha looked at the hazy river valley in front of him. The half-demon's sharp eyesight allowed him to easily see through the ordinary fog and clearly see the cold figure standing quietly by the riverside in front of him.
Wearing white clothes and scarlet hakama, her long black silk-like hair falls like a waterfall behind her. When the wind blows by the river, her hair blooms like flowing water... It's as if it was the same as when we first met fifty years ago. The magnificent witch, Yasha, fell into a trance and murmured the witch's name.
"Inuyasha."
The miko calmly called out the name of the half-demon opposite her. She was not as excited and resentful as she was when she was resurrected that day. She could not restrain herself and just chose to kill him.
But behind this calmness, there seemed to be huge waves hidden behind it. Although he did not take action immediately, Inuyasha still subconsciously clenched his back molars... He could feel the strong murderous intention of the miko locked on Her resentment has not diminished at all.
"I thought it was someone who came here with the Shikon Jade...it turned out to be you." Kikyo's eyes swept over everyone, and then settled on Higurashi Kagome.
The girl in the sailor uniform subconsciously took a step back. Kikyo seemed to be looking at the Shikon Tama she wore as a necklace around her neck, but for some reason, she felt even more that it seemed to be looking at her.
Withdrawing her gaze, the miko standing by the river lowered her eyes slightly and said in an unusually calm voice: "Inuyasha, are you here to die? You know I'm here, but you still dare to come close... Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?"
"No, no! I'm here to save you!" Inuyasha shouted excitedly.
"……help me?"
Kikyo thought of the nosy wandering mage from before, and narrowed her eyes slightly...
She picked up the ordinary long bow, and pointed the arrow with clear spiritual power directly at the opposite side. It was obviously a very slow movement, but no one had time to do anything. It seemed that in the blink of an eye, In a short time, the witch had already drawn her bow and nocked the arrow, and the arrow was pointed directly here.
Just as he was about to continue saying something, Inuyasha was locked by the Demon-Destroying Arrow from a distance. He felt his scalp numb, his chest suffocated, and his body seemed to stiffen instinctively.
He has no doubt that the next moment, he will be completely wiped out...
"I died while hating you... My soul has stayed at that moment and cannot be changed. As long as you live, I cannot be saved!" Her cold eyes stared quietly at the half-demon opposite, the miko. The voice became colder, and the killing intent was no longer concealed.
"That's not the case! Kikyo!" Although she was frightened just now, Higurashi Kagome still mustered up the courage to shout, "This is all Naraku's conspiracy. There was someone else who framed you fifty years ago..."
The miko glanced at her.
"Why is it so lively..." At this time, a hearty voice came from a high place, and everyone subconsciously looked up.
High in the sky, a young man wearing modern casual clothes smiled and walked down from the high place step by step, as if there were invisible stairs in the void... Because his mental power has undergone a qualitative change, he can already interfere with material phenomena. , has effects that can affect entities.
Although the distance and weight of the influence are both limited, it is still barely possible to carry his own weight by materializing it under his feet for a brief moment. In addition, the experiences brought by projection magic are interoperable. It doesn't take any deliberate exercise to create invisible steps under your feet.
Through the instant realization of mental power, invisible steps are created under the feet, climbing down step by step.
The mobility is actually not flexible enough, but at least he can easily come down from the mountain with his own strength, and this way of appearing seems quite bluffing.
——This man said before that he couldn't fly and that he would take him up by himself...
At this moment, the miko who saw this scene didn't know why. Such an idea subconsciously appeared in her mind, and her brows frowned slightly.
"It seems they are the enemy...are you going to take action, Kikyo?"
Arriving at the side of the witch, Gu Mo looked at the tense scene and then at the witch who had fully drawn her long bow. He showed a hearty smile and asked this question seemingly casually, as if he saw his companion asking for help. Take action, so it is natural to put the opposite side into the enemy camp.
"Asshole! Who are you!!"
Clenching his fists tightly, Inuyasha stared at him angrily. He originally heard what the little devil said in the village behind, and knowing that they left late at night last night, he chased them all the way.
I had almost forgotten what the kid said, but now I saw this strange man appear, and he seemed to be very familiar with the miko, and even called him by his first name. It seemed that Kikyo was used to it... Inuyasha felt that he couldn't accept it at all. My first impression was that he might really be like that kid.
"me……"
Gu Mo glanced at Er Gouzi opposite him, raised his hand happily, and waved cheerfully, just about to introduce himself.
"Wait, wait! You, your clothes-"
Higurashi Kagome, who had been staring at him since just now, finally realized what the sense of disobedience was at this moment. Her pupils shrank sharply and she pointed at the other person's clothes.
This incompatible style is obviously not of this era! This was the first time in this Warring States era five hundred years ago that she saw someone other than herself with such a modern style of painting!
"You! Are you from my era too?!"
The girl was shocked and naturally made such speculation. She thought it might be the same thing and based her own experience on others.
Everyone else's faces were suddenly shocked, including Inuyasha's eyes widened. He had just been dominated by anger. Now after Higurashi Kagome pointed it out, he suddenly realized that this person seemed to be indeed the person he saw when he went to modern times. The style of painting is that of "people from five hundred years later"!
Even Kikyo frowned slightly and subconsciously looked at the clothing style of the man next to him and the girl opposite.
"Ah? That's not true. I'm not from your era. Please don't get me wrong..." Gu Mo waved his hands with a smile and said seriously and sincerely.
"Eh? No, isn't it? But why are your clothes so, so..." Higurashi Kagome felt even more confused. She stared at the other person's clothing style with wide eyes. Could it be that this was a simple coincidence? ? But how could there be such an outrageous coincidence?
"What era are your clothes from?" She scratched her hair frantically. Could there be something wrong with her historical knowledge? Did this style of clothing exist at this time?
"This... is the style of the 21st century." The young man opposite looked down, and then gave an understatement.
"Ah? Wait, wait! Then you just said that you are not from my era?!" Higurashi Kagome looked at the opposite side in disbelief. Even terms like the twenty-first century popped up. Sure enough, Just like myself, we must not belong to future generations of this era!
"I'm right in saying that... Well, Miss Higurashi, is it okay if I call you that?" Gu Mo thought for a while, then looked at the girl in sailor uniform across from him and asked.
Miss Higurashi?
Kikyo next to him lowered his eyes and tightened his fingers on the bow and arrow slightly. Why did this person suddenly know what politeness was now?
"Yes, yes..."
Higurashi Kagome nodded blankly in confusion. Of course there was no problem, but why did something seem a little wrong?
"That's good, Miss Higurashi, let me put it this way... Strictly speaking, you lived in 1996, but there is actually a big difference between your time and mine." Gu Mo chuckled and explained casually. , "The era I live in is already 2022. Do you understand?"
"Uh, is this, like this? It seems to be the case, the difference is nearly thirty years..."
The girl thought about it seriously, and it seemed that this was the case. She suddenly laughed awkwardly, not realizing that she had been led astray - she actually just wanted to confirm whether they all came from later generations, and the year was a little bit different. Deviation is actually not the point at all.
"Wait, there seems to be something wrong..." Higurashi Kagome thought hard for a moment and felt she had come to a reaction. She stared at Gu Mo in surprise, "Why did you know my last name just now? I never told you. Well, you, do you know me?"
Gu Mo nodded, still smiling cheerfully: "Of course I do, I know you Higurashi Kagome, I know Inuyasha, I know Master Maitreya, I know the Seven Treasures, I also know Izayoi, Sesshomaru and the others..."
He admitted readily and at the same time named them one by one. Several people across from him couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in their hearts. Master Maitreya and the little fox Qibao looked at each other.
"If you talk nonsense again, I will tear your mouth apart! Moreover, these things have already happened. As long as you check it, it will always be clear! Who can you lie to!" Veins bloomed on Inuyasha's forehead, and he couldn't bear it anymore. He said angrily!
This person definitely has ulterior motives, and all the names he mentioned can be found.
Either people who exist now or people who appeared in the past, but they actually use their relatives to make an issue, want to use it as evidence to prove or deceive themselves... This is an unforgivable thing!
Gu Mo glanced at him, smiled and said -
"...I also know Zhuye."
