The train was moving fast.
The scenery outside the window keeps receding.
Probably because we drove out of Tokyo, the carriage was not as empty as before, and there were many people there one after another. However, the air in the carriage was unusually quiet. I don’t know how many people were there intentionally or unintentionally. Looking in the same direction, he cast an envious gaze.
The miko, who was wearing white clothes and scarlet hakama, turned her head and stared at the scenery outside the window with a slightly sideways gaze. She didn't know what she was thinking. The sunlight was shining in from the window. Next to her is a young man who seems to have no self-consciousness. He is quietly flipping through an ancient book that is obviously a little yellowed in his hand. It feels like a dense and fresh mountain mist, elegant and timeless, and his temperament is also somewhat distorted.
The witch has a very traditional style, with a hint of sanctity in her conservative style, and her whole person is as calm as water.
Although the young man was wearing modern casual clothes, he was holding a volume that looked like an ancient book in his hand, and he was studying it seriously.
But there was no incompatibility between the two, there was only an indescribable harmony and nature, and there was no abrupt feeling at all... The train passed through the warm afternoon summer sunshine, speeding on the track, the witch. He and the young man were sitting quietly by the window, while the city scenery outside was retreating rapidly.
Against this background, the tiny dust particles in the sunlight seemed to become leisurely and peaceful, as if even the air had become quiet unconsciously.
It's so confusing that it's hard to tell whether this is reality or a wallpaper with beautiful artistic conception.
This naturally attracted people's envious gazes. Of course, it does not mean that the miko is responsible for stunning people, while the young man is responsible for attracting envious and jealous gazes... This is not the case. In fact, the treatment they receive in this regard is relatively fair. Yes, because of course there are female passengers in the carriage.
But in the end, the other passengers in the car could only look at it like this. At most, they pretended not to care and looked away from time to time, but no one really dared to take that step and mustered up the courage to strike up a conversation or something.
If any one person was present alone, someone would definitely have to bravely pass by, but they happened to appear at the same time...
Although the two of them keep a certain distance, just like passengers sitting next to each other on the tram, anyone who is not blind can see that the relationship between the two is definitely not that of strangers...or should I say , that’s how they should feel.
And besides these two people, there was no one else in the seats over there. Others did not dare to step over, but the bench was obviously very empty and there was no one else, and they did not sit separately...
This also proves that they are definitely not just passengers sitting next to each other on the tram, but just sitting together. This can't help but make many people regretful.
Because of his previous experience, Gu Mo acted very calmly in response to the strange glances containing various strong emotions that were thrown at him from time to time in the carriage.
The witch didn't speak, she just kept quiet. He didn't disturb her peace either. Instead, he took out the old immortal's letter beside him and began to read it quietly. I never had time before, but now I finally started learning again after a long absence.
Although the huge progress in mental power brings a new level of power, it also exposes a new problem -
The basic attributes are not completely independent of each other, but are in a relationship of checks and balances and mutual influence... His spiritual will is not independent from the physical body, and it is not a purely spiritual existence mode such as a spirit body or a ghost body, and it is also temporarily There is no intention of abandoning the body.
So we need to find a solution...
The easiest way is of course to add points. As long as the points are in place, there is nothing that cannot be solved. But simplicity does not mean that it is easy to achieve. Just as he also knows that he can become a superman as long as he keeps adding points. However, how to get enough points to distribute is another problem.
Then the remaining methods are either to exercise on your own, or to find some other methods... Gu Mo just happens to know an example that fits the requirements——
The old immortal.
This person's Taoism is actually very profound. Just looking at the bonsai cave is enough to prove that he moved mountains and unloaded ridges, shrunk the land into an inch, and incorporated a mountain and water into a bonsai in the courtyard... It is said that the world is big in the sleeves, and the world is in the pot. The sun and the moon are long, and being able to do this is indeed a manifestation of the superb and unpredictable magic.
However, the physical body is very weak...
The method of this path is indeed to hone the will, seek spiritual transcendence, and focus on reaching the realm of immortals. The physical body is not the focus... But this also means that since the special aspect of this practice only focuses on the spiritual Ascension, does it mean that the physical body will not become a fetter to spiritual development?
Gu Mo didn't need to be as radical as the old immortal and completely give up physical enhancement, but he thought he could find the solution he needed from here first.
When the points are more abundant in the future, he can also consider strengthening his physical body...or there is no need for it in the future. He will always be able to come into contact with different systems and products in many worlds. Maybe he will be able to find complementary ones at any time. strengthen.
The most direct thing is the possibility of bloodline enhancement. A profession is just a profession. The monsters and immortals in this world are the best examples. While the spiritual realm is superb, the body can actually be very strong.
Yes, this is your advantage...
It is correct to learn from each other's strong points and make up for one's shortcomings, instead of just waiting for a road that is perfect, comprehensive and strong in everything... As long as there are enough merits and it is exactly what you need at the moment, it is actually enough. Think about it carefully and include it in your options...
Gently stroking the rough scroll with his fingertips, Gu Mo thought thoughtfully and slowly made up his mind.
At this time, the speed of the train slowly began to slow down.
He gently raised his head and looked at Kikyo next to him... Just at this moment, the miko also turned her eyes and looked over, watching him hesitate for a moment, as if he wanted to say something.
"Do you want to visit this stop? Then let's go."
Gu Mo reacted quickly, smiled empathetically, and stood up first.
Although the witch acquiesced to his words, although she seemed to be very interested in the scenery outside the window along the way, now for the first time she had the idea of going down to take a look and take a walk. Naturally, he was interested in the scenery outside the window. I am happy to see it come to fruition...
Taking the first step is very important and critical. As for the saying that time for dead people has stopped forever and there is no way to move forward, he doesn't believe it at all.
What's more, Kikyo won't always be a porcelain witch...
Of course, this kind of thing still needs to be dealt with slowly. Now is not the time, and Kikyo's character probably won't accept it easily.
The carriage door slowly opened, and the witch stepped out gently. Gu Mo followed her casually, walking through the air with a faint scent of medicine... He ignored the eyes of the people around him and casually looked around at the surrounding environment. and the scenery in the distance, what he said before is his true thoughts——
So he really doesn't have any special goal, so now he doesn't know where he got to and where he is...
However, unknowingly, the tram seems to have long been no longer speeding through the city, but through the pastoral scenery. All along the line are beautiful scenery. Now, far outside the track, there are more people. It's fields and forests, with vibrant summer flowers as far as the eye can see...
No wonder the witch would want to come down and take a look. Although the modern city scenery is very shocking to her, it is a very impactful and novel landscape, but in the end, this kind of quiet and beautiful natural scenery is what she loves from the bottom of her heart. A scene instead of an industrial city steel forest…
Gu Mo exhaled softly and suddenly knew how he should arrange this journey...
Well, even though we say you shouldn’t set goals for yourself, you can’t really leave it all to luck... After all, it could be a better memory, so there’s no reason to let it turn into a memory that you spend most of your time in. A silent journey on the road looking at the scenery outside the window.
If that was really the case, the miko wouldn't be impressed.
"By the way, where is this place?"
At this time, Kikyo turned around in front, looked at him and asked.
"I don't know. Just go and look at the stop sign in front...or just ask the locals." Gu Mo calmed down his divergent thoughts and replied.
The witch nodded slightly, but looked into his eyes strangely: "What are you laughing at?"
"I think of happy things." Gu Mo blinked and gave this answer with a smile.
"What happy thing?"
"This... is a forbidden matter." He stretched out an index finger and shook it gently, gestured to the miko, and said this in a joking tone, perhaps with a bit of seriousness.
After giving him a deep look, Kikyo had no intention of asking further questions. She just turned around, looked around, found a direction and walked forward.
Gu Mo followed with a smile.
…………
…
Before I knew it, it was already evening.
The setting sun burst into strips of crimson rays, and the mountains were stained with a thin layer of blush under the afterglow. On the vast river bank slope, you are surrounded by a lush green scene, with the clear stream making a gurgling sound, and the distant green hills rolling.
Except for the telephone poles, almost only the outline of the buildings in the town not far away is left, and some artificial traces that do not belong to nature can be seen.
On the river bank slope, a faint smile appeared on the face of the witch. A group of children were leaving reluctantly. Several little girls still looked back every step of the way. They even walked out for a short distance and trotted back, dragging them with them. The sleeves of the miko tell something seriously.
Gu Mo watched from a short distance away and couldn't help but smile and shake his head. It felt like he was back in the village at that time. It was really a terrifying affinity, but the witch always seemed to be facing innocent children. Have such a smile. With this thought in mind, he raised the camera in his hand to face this scene and gently pressed the shutter.
Paying attention to the situation on his side, Kikyo looked over in surprise. After finally persuading the most stubborn little girl to go home, she slowly walked over and looked at the camera in his hand doubtfully.
"this is……"
"This is a digital camera. I didn't expect it to have a color screen these days. It's really good..." Gu Mo said with a smile, "I saw the girl just now holding it, so I asked her for help and bought it from her. Come here."
Although from his point of view, this is undoubtedly an antique series, but in terms of the current era, this is undoubtedly a very advanced digital product... Well, it is not without its advantages. For example, the photos taken will Very contemporary? Of course, things like developing film also have a sense of the times.
"That girl just now..."
Thinking of what happened not long ago, the witch nodded slightly, and then looked at this person with some suspicion: "You shouldn't have used any means, right?"
After saying this, she also remembered that the girl just now seemed to be holding this strange little object in her hand, and she seemed to care for it very much, and she loved it without hesitation... but now she happily bought it for this person. come over? Naturally, I was somewhat confused.
"Absolutely not, I just sincerely offered a good price..." Gu Mo vowed and shook his head repeatedly, "Later, she was so moved by my sincerity that she wanted to give it to me for free, but I didn't even accept it, so I insisted. The money was given, and there was absolutely no other factors involved.”
Although these days you can easily take out such digital products and give them away if you don't agree with them, the girl looks like she must be a rich girl from a well-off family, but Gu Moke has no idea of taking advantage of others. , I still insisted on paying!
The miko didn't know what to say. The first half sounded normal, but the second half suddenly became abnormal...
It seems to be a very precious thing, and it is about to be given away for free...
Didn't this person realize something?
Staring at Gu Mo's face, Kikyo sighed softly. This person probably didn't take the initiative to use any means, but there was no need for him to take the initiative... But since the money was still paid, it was an equal exchange. If you come here, that's acceptable.
Suppressing this thought, she looked at the camera in the other person's hand: "What's the use of this?"
"Record some good memories..." Gu Mo smiled at her, then pointed behind him, "There seems to be a photo studio in the town that can help with film development. Let's go there now. You will know what it is. ”
After all, it’s not intuitive enough to explain it in words.
So in the hazy evening night, the two of them walked side by side, talking and walking towards the small town behind. Or should I say, the young man was talking about something, and the witch was listening quietly, and the two of them slowly drifted away together.
The last ray of glow also dimmed.
…………
This is the first stop.
…………
The next day.
It's afternoon.
The tram racing along the coastline also slowly slowed down. It seemed that the station was stopping in front of it. From the window, you could directly see the sapphire-like sea. The coast was either dotted with strange-shaped rocks or soft-lined beaches... …
"This is the sea..."
The miko was also looking at it in a daze. Surrounded by these scenery on the tram, the sky and ocean seemed to be within reach. This was a completely different experience from yesterday's scenery.
"During the Warring States Period, didn't you have a chance to go to the beach?" Gu Mo looked away from the scroll and asked slightly curiously.
"Maple Village is not close to the sea. When I was traveling and practicing, I never went to the seaside intentionally... No, let's go there once. It was a seaside village, but there was no such scenery at that time." Kikyo thought for a moment, He shook his head gently.
She really had no chance to see the majesty of the ocean. She had been to the seaside once, and it was also to get rid of the monsters. It was also night, the monsters were thick, and the sea was filled with heavy fog. Can't see clearly either.
There is naturally no comparison with the clear blue sky and sea outside the window at this moment.
"Is it...Penglai Island?" Gu Mo searched in his mind and seemed to remember something.
"Do you even know this?" Kikyo was slightly startled and turned to look at him.
"I know a little bit...well, I know a little bit." Gu Mo showed an awkward but polite smile, stretched out his hand to gesture to the witch, and made a "a little bit" gesture with his thumb and index finger.
"The incident that time was actually not resolved... I don't know what happened next." Kikyo looked out the window again and sighed slightly. In her career, there was no monster disaster that could be solved on the spot. It cannot be said that there was no such thing, but There are indeed only a handful of them, so naturally they are very interested.
Gu Mo opened his mouth and was about to say something, but suddenly thought of Shen Jiuye's incident, and could only swallow back the words he was about to say.
It’s better not to guarantee it, it’s easy to get slapped in the face...
He shook his head and glanced at Kikyo, who had become quiet again. Due to the angle and distance, the witch's slender, white and beautiful neck could be seen clearly. The witch quietly watching the scenery outside the window in the tram was also a beautiful scenery. ...With a slight movement in his heart, Gu Mo picked up the camera he bought yesterday.
Click.
The sound of the shutter made Kikyo stunned for a moment, and then she quickly reacted. She did not turn around and say anything, but the vague reflection in the car window showed a hint of unnaturalness and slight embarrassment in her eyes. …
This person is really...
…………
This is the second stop.
…………
…
at the same time.
"It's been a week..."
Higurashi Kagome was in the spacious square in front of the main shrine, looking at the shrine diagonally across the corner and lamenting that the person she was waiting for didn't come at all. This really made the girl a little suspicious. After all, she didn't notice it. , those two people had already gone back through the Bone-eating Well, but they still had no intention of going back at all...
Just working like this day by day, she didn't know what she was doing.
But at this moment, there was a sudden noisy sound on the stone steps in the direction of the torii behind him. Higurashi Kagome subconsciously turned her head to look, and her heart skipped a beat.
A large group of people wearing very formal clothes and serious expressions were walking past the torii gate and entering the grounds of Higurashi Shrine. Although the leader maintained a smile, he still had the awe of a commander who was used to giving orders. Prestige is not so easy to conceal.
coming!
Kagome Higurashi's heart skipped a beat, and she knew that this day would come sooner or later, but fortunately she didn't have any clues, and she hoped that her grandfather would be more forceful later and not reveal any flaws.
"Miss Higurashi Kagome...right?"
While she was thinking about it, the leader came to her and took out his ID seriously, "We are from the Ministry of Defense... We are investigating what happened near the city center. Please don't be too nervous. We I hope to have a good talk with the people involved in the shrine, we come here with an absolutely friendly attitude."
"Okay, okay..." The girl in the sailor suit was a little panicked, trying to calm herself down, "Grandpa is in the house, I will take you there..."
She subconsciously glanced at the location of the ancestral hall. There should be no problem. Inuyasha was resting there during this period. If anyone approached the ancestral hall, just jump into the well and travel back five hundred years... For others For humans, they cannot cross, and the well is indeed just a dry well.
Next——
The conversation between the Ministry of Defense’s investigation team and the reporter at Higurashi Shrine lasted only ten minutes.
The people from the Ministry of Defense walked out of the house a little disappointed. Although they were disappointed, it was also expected. During this period, they visited many shrines and temples that were said to have ancient traditions, but they often couldn't get anything useful. The result is the same here.
Even more convincing——
"How is it possible that our shrine really has any special powers? Kagome? Kagome is even more impossible. Those are all lies. Kagome has always been frail and sickly. She was diagnosed with rheumatism and diabetes not long ago... Do you think if we have any special inheritance, why would we be like this?"
Grandpa Higurashi said with a heartbroken look on his face, holding a large pile of medical records issued by the hospital in his hand.
After all, absenteeism is really serious. In many cases, you can't just call the school to ask for leave. You still need some solid evidence. And these careful preparations come in handy at this time.
"grandfather……"
The girl in sailor uniform was trembling, and her expression was a little distorted.
Can you use other methods to increase your persuasiveness? Are you destined to die socially in the modern world?
…………
(PS: I will probably go back tomorrow to worship the mountain and worship my ancestors...)
