Penglai Island appeared on another secluded sea area, and the briefly raised barrier was removed. Only the thick fog appeared on this sea, obscuring the traces of the island.
However, from the outside, the hazy fog has blocked the sky above the island. However, from the island, the white fog surrounding the island cannot be seen at all, so the sky is also clear and clear, and you can see the sea. night sky with stars.
Under the bright moonlight, the two of them were walking slowly along the abandoned village street. The lake next to them reflected the beauty of the starry sky like a mirror, and the cool night breeze blew slowly.
"By the way, why did you tell them you were an immortal?"
Kikyo asked softly as she remembered what happened before.
"This...isn't actually false propaganda, I just said it in advance. Anyway, I will definitely become an immortal in the future." Gu Mo walked side by side with the witch, looking at the crater in the distance, and was very excited when he heard this question. It was explained casually.
He just said one thing in advance. After all, he is the owner of the island, and he is not far from the immortal realm. So in the first advertising campaign just shown to those lucky or unlucky people, it is... quite reasonable to use such a character a little early, right?
Yeah, yeah, it's definitely quite reasonable. He thought about it seriously and convinced himself firmly in his heart.
"Will you definitely become an immortal?"
The witch was slightly surprised when she heard this, and glanced at him gently: "Have you really decided?"
When she didn't know this person's true identity, she thought it was a good thing because he was interested in the old immortal's inheritance. However, she gradually discovered that this person's true identity was not simple, and he also hid a lot. This idea was basically given up.
However, she never thought that the other party did not seem to be simply curious and wanted to know more, but was actually preparing to enter this field, which naturally surprised the miko.
But when she thought about it carefully, this was still a good thing. After all, there was still a big gap between a pure monster and a sage among monsters.
Orthodox immortals pay attention to self-cultivation and perfect virtue. In her opinion, although Gu Mo is not a vicious monster, and often does not even see an obvious demonic side, if he can go further on this basis, he will naturally be more capable. Benefits.
"Yes, after all, I am also very interested in immortals..." Gu Mo nodded. Since the career has been locked, it is naturally a matter of decision. At this time, it is already too late to regret it, although he It's impossible to regret that you can't always walk with only one leg. .
"It is not easy to practice immortality. It is best to persevere..." The witch nodded slightly, and her ethereal voice sounded in the night wind.
"I know this, but it's actually not that difficult. It won't take long for me to reach this level..." Gu Mo nodded, laughing, and said this in a brisk but not joking tone, The original intention was to take into account my own strong growth potential as a player and give the miko a vaccination in advance.
After all, according to normal circumstances, immortal cultivation is indeed difficult. According to the records in those handbooks, it takes three to five years just to get started, and then you can truly embark on the path of orthodox cultivation.
Cultivation itself is also something that requires long-term persistence. Just like ordinary people who want to increase their physical strength, they need to work hard to exercise. Although spiritual practice has corresponding meditation methods that can better polish the soul and will, it will not Completely divorced from the essence of exercise.
What matters is the time it takes to penetrate the stone, and just having time is not enough. After all, many people have worked hard to polish their souls for a lifetime, but in the end it is just the result of deep magic power. Mortal life is limited after all. Within the limits of nature, it is far from enough for the transformation of the essence of life. to another form of higher level.
Therefore, during the practice, various secret medicines must be supplemented to extend life. The legacy of the immortals includes more than a dozen ancient prescriptions that can extend life. The purpose is to extend the life span as much as possible, and in the process, become a Taoist immortal. First, extend life. , and then gain immortality... From this we can also see how long and arduous the journey is.
However, this is a normal situation, but Gu Mo is different, he is not normal.
Thanks to the previous main tilt resources and the concentrated spiritual growth method, his current spiritual attributes are already extremely high. If he wants to unlock the advanced spiritual realm that means transcendence and sainthood, he does not need to be like an ordinary person who has just started practicing. That way, it's hard work from scratch.
However, Kikyo clearly misunderstood and went in another direction. Her beautiful eyes looked at the person in front of her seriously, and she said in a calm tone:
"That's right. With your own strength, it is very simple to do this. Immortal is just another choice for you. As long as you make up your mind, it will be easy..."
Gu Mo blinked and smiled, but did not explain anything.
This kind of understanding is not impossible.
He raised his arms vigorously, stretched, and glanced at the bright moon in the sky, because nearly ten days had passed in the outside world, and before he knew it, it was mid-January again, and the bright moon was extremely full, ushering in the new year again. A cycle of profit and loss is the moment of perfection.
"Speaking of which, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival..."
With such emotion, he also felt the passage of time in the real world more accurately. Midsummer seemed to have passed in a blink of an eye. The feeling of autumn was rising unknowingly, and it was also getting thicker unknowingly. Now It's surprisingly close to the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"Mid-Autumn Festival..."
Staring at the bright moon, Kikyo repeated the word softly. She also knew the term, but she had no feeling about it.
"Is this holiday important to you?"
"It's quite important. Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival are the four major traditional festivals in a year..." Gu Mo said seriously, and at the same time he habitually took out his phone to take a look, and then he realized what was going on. There is not even a base station on the island.
There is also a vast ocean all around.
However, although there is no signal, he also knows that sporadic information may have appeared in the family group, and it will increase further in the next few days, and everyone will discuss it... If the time is pushed forward six or seven years, A large family will also agree to go back to their hometown together, almost every year.
However, since the ancestral house in my hometown was demolished, this habit has slowly become a memory.
"Time flies so fast..." Gu Mo muttered to himself, then looked at the calm witch next to him and coughed lightly, "Ahem, I'll probably have to go home in the next few days. I usually stay away from home for so long. But during the rare Mid-Autumn Festival, I have to go back and see my parents..."
The miko was obviously stunned for a moment, and her eyes suddenly became a little stunned when she looked at him.
In her mind, this person was already an unimaginable ancient monster, so what would his parents be like...
Not knowing what Kikyo was thinking, Gu Mo also began to think seriously. His vision was as quiet as a mirror when there was no wind. When the wind blew, the sparkling blue waves swept across it. To this point, I finally have the capital to do something in reality.
Of course it doesn't mean that he is planning to do evil or anything...
It means bringing some changes to the home.
…
…
While the future immortal laments the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In another place, there are also people lamenting the Mid-Autumn Festival, but their words are full of pessimism and negativity——
"The Mid-Autumn Festival will be in a few days. I didn't expect that we would have to spend it in jail..." Holding his chin and sighing, the bespectacled young man Awei sat on a chair. This room was like an interrogation room, and there were only seven of them. , all of them were taciturn and looked sad.
"It's not like you're going to jail. Didn't those policemen say they were just confirming the situation..." The sweet-looking girl said slowly, wanting to comfort her companions around her.
"Let's think about other things..." A boy who looked gentle and quiet sighed and said listlessly, "I just checked online. We are all famous now. Everyone on the Internet thinks that we are the ones who It is a waste of low-quality rescuers to take risks without measuring their capabilities..."
The air became somewhat solid.
There is also some depression.
Everyone looked at each other and let out a long sigh. Such a result was not unexpected. After all, the seven of them did not listen to the advice at the time, and after being missing for so long, this matter has become a mystery. There is nothing to say about hot news that will be criticized angrily on the Internet.
"..."
"..."
After a short silence, someone finally couldn't help but bring up the thing that they were most concerned about, but their companions seemed to be avoiding it subconsciously: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, you guys talk about... that island... in the end Is it true? Or are we collectively hallucinating?”
"How is that possible! That can't be an illusion!"
Immediately, a girl with short hair blurted out, as if she didn't even think about it, and as if she had been thinking about it all the time, so she was able to react so quickly——
"Don't say anything else, the photos and videos we took can also prove it! That can't be fake!"
"Yes, we also took photos..."
"So, that island is really Penglai Island..."
"That immortal... and that immortal, I find that I can't remember his face now."
It was like a switch was turned on, and other people also spoke one after another and started talking. Once they opened the conversation, they couldn't stop talking. They expressed their opinions in all directions, and at the same time, their expressions became more or less different. He got excited and spoke his opinion while foaming at the mouth.
However, they did not oppose the opinions of their companions. Just as the irrefutable videos and photos could prove that they did not have any group hallucination, so they just joined the discussion more enthusiastically, affirmed what their companions said, and He also became excited.
"Hey, it's useless to say more now. Why was I so stupid at the time and missed it like this..."
There was a boy with long broken hair, who seemed to want to highlight his melancholy and vicissitudes of temperament, but looked more like a slovenly Luther. He raised his palm, as if he wanted to slap himself hard on the face. Everyone could hear the sadness in his tone, and it naturally triggered a series of resonances.
Gu Jing
"That's right……"
"Who would have thought..."
Everyone also sighed one after another. They had the urge to go back and strangle their stupid self to death. Why were they so stubborn? It was obviously a place like a fairyland. The air there seemed to be able to make people reborn, and the village was also like this. obvious.
They even said without any reservation that it was the legendary Penglai Island, and there were immortals on the island... But I and others didn't believe it at the time, and they wanted to expose the other party, and in the end they missed it so perfectly. Got immortality.
Previously, they were still pretending not to care about the situation, but now as the conversation started and they began to discuss it enthusiastically, almost everyone had the urge to hit themselves to death when they thought of what happened not long ago. The more they think about it now, the more they feel that everything that happened at that time has an explanation.
Just like those strange phenomena they encountered, although it was not reasonable, they could explain what was going on and the whole thing came to a complete conclusion.
But in fact, this is also an afterthought mentality, which can only make them more annoyed the more they think about it.
At this time, there were footsteps outside, the door was opened, and a middle-aged man who looked very capable walked in, followed by two unsmiling men.
"Guys, thank you for your cooperation. This is your mobile phone..."
The middle-aged man spoke and returned the mobile phones that had been taken away from the college students.
"C-can it?"
"Just give it back to us?"
The group of people took back their mobile phones and immediately checked the photos and videos inside. They found that there were no changes. They all looked at the person in charge in front of them with some surprise and asked uncertainly.
"As we said at the beginning, we just want to confirm the authenticity and won't do anything..." The middle-aged man replied sternly, and at the same time he sighed in his heart. The phone had actually been changed. , the information and data inside were also copied, but they were indeed not deleted.
After all, this matter was not taken seriously from the beginning. Even when this group of people were rescued, only the regular rescue team was handling it. Other than that, there were only sharks who smelled blood. Media workers came over.
This group of young people didn't have any dignity at all, and they didn't hide anything at the time. They directly explained the experience of themselves and others. After being questioned, they blushed and produced evidence. These videos and photos had already been exposed by the paparazzi. Copy it and spread it as the latest news.
However, it was only because the news was so big and the incident was so bizarre that reports were raised layer by layer from the rescue team to the local government, finally attracting national attention.
It was too bizarre, but it just happened... The middle-aged man's sharp eyes glanced at the group of college students in front of him covertly and quickly, and he also felt a headache.
If it's not what they said, how can they explain where they went during this period? Not only the information on their mobile phones can prove it, but there are still things they ate not long ago in their stomachs, and for the fishing boat For the fish boat, the barbecue on the old barbecue barrel was already ten days ago.
They, the members of the investigation team, were not able to find any flaws. Instead, they initially proved that what these people said was indeed correct.
As this group of people said, they mistakenly entered an island that did not exist. It seemed to be the legendary fairy mountain on the sea, where immortals and ancient residents lived in seclusion. They only returned after spending a few hours on the island. ...Everything seems to be pointing to this, but how is this possible?
After gathering his thoughts, the middle-aged man spoke. He took back his mobile phone and attracted the attention of the young men and women who were checking it hurriedly:
"Although I've asked before, I'd like to reiterate it again. Did you really only take pictures of this much? Didn't you take pictures of the specifics of that village?"
The scenery in the video and photos is not fake. Although it was only taken with a mobile phone, and the photographer's skills are hard to describe, it is still beautiful. It seems that it is the most beautiful wallpaper no matter what angle it is viewed from. If there is a fairyland in the world, it is probably there. .
The specific terrain, plants, etc. are still being further analyzed, trying to find the source in the real world. However, there are only a few photos of the most important village, and they are all the outlines they took from a distance.
"That's really all there is to it..."
"We had already taken a lot of pictures for two hours, and the phone was about to run out of battery..."
"Yes, yes, and I was a little worried at that time. I thought the village was too strange. I didn't even think that I could take pictures with that kind of atmosphere..."
The college students talked one after another. Some were explaining, while others seemed to be reminded and became even more upset.
"That's a bit of a pity..." After saying this, the middle-aged man carefully distinguished their expressions, "But if you can, I would like to ask you to think about it again. Are there any more special details? The buildings in the village The style, people's clothes, their accents..."
"Ah! I remembered it!"
The sweet-looking cute girl suddenly shouted. She stood up and clenched her fists tightly.
"What they said...the language they spoke at that time was basically the same as ours! We didn't realize this at the time!"
Others were also stunned. After they were stunned for a while, they thought about it carefully, and finally understood why they felt so strange when talking to the people there. They spoke another language, they said She speaks Mandarin, but can communicate without any barriers.
I don’t know why, but they didn’t notice this biggest problem at all at the time, and they only remembered it later.
Thinking of the last Qingpao Taoist whose face could not be remembered clearly, everyone's emotions were rolling in their hearts, full of annoyance, frustration and loss.
Encountered an immortal...
I really met an immortal... but I missed it perfectly. Will I still have the chance in this life? !
…………
…
In the space at the center of the mountain where the Screaming Cauldron is located, Kikyo and Souji studied the mage's thesis and pondered the process of making the golem.
But here, Gu Mo opened the upgrade page to check his current career progress. Probably because it is always easier to upgrade when you are at a low level. After this period of filling, the current career experience progress bar is almost full, so I can't help but open it and take a look...
Of course, it is impossible to say that a profession is directly a "immortal". After all, immortality is just a state of becoming, an advancement in this system, and does not represent the concept of profession itself. As for the profession itself, it emerged from the inheritance of the old immortals, and its origins can be traced back to ancient China.
They are alchemists who believe in prophecy theory, are good at worshiping ghosts and gods, and making elixirs for immortality.
——"Alchemist-lv2".
The main determining attribute of this profession is the basic spirit. The related knowledge system has many branches such as medicine, divination, astrology, equality, etc. The professional characteristic is the pursuit of transcendence in the spiritual realm, so the soul can grow without being shackles by the physical body... To put it simply, it means adding points to the spirit. Can be unrestricted by other attributes.
However, it is just that the spiritual realm is improved without being shackles, which does not mean that the physical body is unimportant or really has no impact.
Of course, as long as you continue, either completely giving up the body, or letting the body become stronger and sublime along with the soul, there is always a way to solve it...
On the career page, the requirement for spiritual realm advancement is directly displayed - the actual value of the spiritual attribute is required to reach 25 points, and then the advancement of "immortal" can be unlocked... emmmmm, how should I say it? This requirement is quite high, whether it is low or high.
Gu Mo's current true mental attribute is 21 points, and he is already like a giant in the soul field.
It is still through adding points and relying on the unique super growth of the Fourth Natural Disaster that we can reach this height. If we practice orthodoxly, step by step, and work hard... I don’t know that it will take until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse. He has tempered his divine will to such an extent.
Unlocking the "Immortal" advancement requires 25 points of mental attributes. Strictly speaking, it is indeed a very high requirement.
The basic standard line is so high, it is no wonder that there is such a transcendent and saintly existence. Even if it is not superior in an absolute sense, it is still far beyond the ordinary big monster. It has definitely entered the realm of superb and unpredictable magic. The realm of immortality.
It is true that compared with the concept of "immortals" who are extremely perverted and smash the void at every turn, reaching for the stars and the moon, it is completely different. However, Gu Mo did not expect to reach the top in one step. The starting potential of this initial profession is already very high. Not bad.
"There are still four points left to meet the requirements for unlocking the advanced level. It should be able to be completed in the next copy..."
Gu Mo held his chin, thought carefully, and estimated a deadline for himself.
After closing the system panel and putting the mirror aside, he glanced at the two identical witches over there, withdrew his gaze, and took out the mask and the slate from the inventory. In the past ten days, he Of course, I don't just put on a show for that group of people, I also make good use of my time outside.
It seems that the Prometheus Slate cannot easily steal the mask's divine power, but after all, the mask is just a dead object, without any consciousness or autonomy.
As he continued to touch the stone with the porcelain every day, the magical power in the mask had obviously loosened.
"Huh?"
Today, he planned to continue to pry the corner of the wall. Gu Mo, who loosened the soil first, found that the result was finally achieved. He originally thought that it would take a few more days to loosen the soil, but with just one touch, he found that a burst of light appeared on the mask. glow, then quickly dim.
In other words, this burst of light seemed to be transferred to the stone slab.
He was pleasantly surprised and checked the changes in the stone slab——
