After an unknown amount of time, Guo Jia woke up from bed again. He found that he was still lying on the same bed. The layout of the room was exactly the same as before: all white furniture. He looked around in a daze and muttered to himself: "Serial dream?"
Guo Jia got out of bed with a confused look on his face. This time he didn't make any unnecessary moves and went straight to open the door. What he saw was still the bustling market. He sighed helplessly, closed the door and sat down again. Go back to bed and wait for the little girl in the white dress to appear.
Not long after, someone pushed open the door and came in, but it was a little different from before. This time it was the little girl's sister who came in first. Guo Jia lifted the quilt and said preemptively: "You want to take me to see your village elder?"
"Ah?" The woman in white made a confused voice.
"Going to that Anmiao Mountain?" Guo Jia mistakenly thought that he had fallen into a reincarnation dream and deliberately told his previous experience.
But things didn't seem to be what he thought. The woman in white responded calmly: "You don't have to go to so much trouble this time. The elders have held a welcoming ceremony for you. The villagers will be there when the time comes. You should think about how to introduce yourself first." , I will come to pick you up when the time is up."
The woman in white left after speaking. It seemed that this was not the first time she met Guo Jia. Only then did Guo Jia realize that he was not dreaming. He seemed to have really come to some strange village.
Half an hour later, the woman in white led Guo Jia to a spacious open space, where a relatively simple stand was temporarily built. Three village elders stood on the stand, and more than a hundred villagers gathered under the stage. They moved their own The bench came to join in the fun.
At this time, the woman in white came over and pointed at Guo Jia, meaning to let him watch the stand. The villagers looked at him one after another. Guo Jia couldn't help but become nervous, but standing there would only increase the embarrassment, so he had to hold on. Scalp walked up.
At this time, the great elder walked up to Guo Jia and announced loudly: "This is the seventeenth outsider brought back by the old immortal from the outside world. From now on, he will be a member of our Penglai Cave Heaven. Let We warmly applaud the arrival of the new members.”
"Snap, snap, snap, snap!" "Snap, snap, snap, snap!" "Snap, snap, snap, snap!"
Guo Jia looked confused.
At this time, the great elder made a stop gesture, and the warm applause subsided. The great elder continued: "According to the tradition of our Baijia Village, any outsider who stays in Penglai Cave will be given three Conditions for preferential treatment: First, give him the longevity fruit so that he can live as long as us; second, give him a piece of ten acres of land, and the village craftsmen will build him a house for free; third, we can choose us for free. Any unmarried woman from the village will be chosen as the marriage partner."
"Holy shit!" This was the first word spoken by Guo Jia who was standing in the stands. When the great elder said the third condition of preferential treatment, he couldn't help but think of the woman in white who just led him. After all, people Parents need to look good.
"What? Are you dissatisfied with the conditions we offered?" The second elder standing behind the stands asked in a bad tone.
"Ah, no, but this condition is too good. I'm just a new arrival. Isn't it appropriate for you to be so nice to me for no reason?" Guo Jia said with some embarrassment.
"Of course it's not for nothing. Since you have come to Penglai Cave Heaven, you will be one of us from now on. You must abide by the rules in Penglai Cave Heaven and you will not be able to step outside Penglai Cave Heaven for the rest of your life." The elder explained.
"I can't leave here for the rest of my life!? Then forget it. I still have a lot of things to deal with outside, so I won't retire here." Guo Jia decisively refused.
"It's not up to you. No outsider who steps into my Penglai Cave can get out." The second elder said disdainfully.
"Wow! Are you trying to restrict my personal freedom? This is illegal." Guo Jia said angrily.
"Boy, your mainlanders' laws don't apply here." The second elder said.
"Nani? Isn't this China?" Guo Jia said in surprise.
"Our Penglai Cave has been isolated from the world for tens of thousands of years and has long been disconnected from mainland China." A villager standing outside the stands explained to Guo Jia.
Damn it! Have I traveled to a different world? What nonsense are people here talking about? Tens of thousands of years? Is this the future or the past? Guo Jia thought about it.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Let me tell you about our village rules first. The first one is that the residents of Penglai Dongtian are not allowed to leave their homes for life; the second one is that the residents of the island must unite and help each other, and must not leave their homes without any reason. Hurt people; Article 3..." The elder talked endlessly about the village rules, and in the middle he also mentioned the population distribution, environmental changes, etc. in Penglai Dongtian, but Guo Jia didn't listen to a word. .
After the welcoming ceremony, Guo Jia was sent back to the house where he originally slept. Tomorrow morning, the village craftsmen will accompany him to choose a place to live, and then start building a house. During this period, he will live in this small house.
At this time, Guo Jia was sitting on the bed, a little at a loss: his mobile phone and ID card were confiscated before he was imprisoned, and he could not contact the outside world. The omniscient system was also paralyzed. In this situation, he could only rely on himself. Think of ways to.
Although the village elders threatened him that no outsider could ever leave here, in his opinion this was just alarmism. Otherwise, how could he have come here? He planned to sneak out to take a look when it got dark, and if it was convenient, he would leave here at night to avoid a long night of dreams. He always felt that something was not right about this place. He had never heard of a place in China called Penglai Cave. Such an awesome place name could not be so unknown.
For the next time, Guo Jia stayed in the house without going out. During this period, a few enthusiastic villagers came to greet him. He sent them away after a few perfunctory words. He could clearly feel that he was connected with the people here. There is a big generation gap between people, as if these people were born in a different era than myself. This made him vaguely afraid. If he traveled through time, it would really explode. According to the logic of time travel novels, once a person travels through time, he basically cannot go back.
The woman in white came here a few times and gave Guo Jia some food, but they were all seafood and fruits, forgetting the fruits. Guo Jia would not touch the seafood, not because he was allergic to seafood, but because He found the seafood very unpalatable.
After waiting boredly, Guo Jia finally stayed up until night. Guo Jia opened the door several times to peek outside. When he confirmed that no one was moving outside, he sneaked out and walked outside the village based on his memories from the day.
He was lucky enough to not be hit by anyone along the way. After walking through the woods, he once again came to the mountainous area where the woman in white brought him. According to his impression during the day, this mountainous area was not very vast. As long as you get out of this mountainous area and find a road, you can follow the road to find a nearby town. Then you can go back to school by asking the local public security bureau for help.
But when he thought of the Public Security Bureau, he couldn't help but retreat. He was involved in a murder case, and Chen Siqi was still holding on to him. She was afraid that there would be no good results if she went back.
At this moment, an old man's voice suddenly came from behind Guo Jia: "It's so late at night, where are you running?"
Looking back, the second elder stood behind him at some point. Guo Jia ran away as if he had seen a ghost. "Oh, shit!" Guo Jia fell to the ground. He quickly got up and wanted to continue. After running, he fell again, and fell again and again four or five times. Guo Jia realized something was wrong again. Someone was obviously at work. He turned to look at the second elder and asked in surprise: "Is it your fault?"
"So what?" the second elder sneered.
"How did you find me?" Guo Jia couldn't help but ask.
"You have caught my mark. I can find you wherever you hide." The second elder replied.
"Mark? You installed a GPS tracker on me?" Guo Jia said in surprise.
"GPS tracker? What is that? Forget it, it's late at night and I don't have time to talk to you. I'm just here to remind you not to waste your efforts." The second elder turned around as soon as he finished speaking.
Seeing this, Guo Jia couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you here to take me back?"
The second elder said without looking back: "Do you think you can escape?"
After hearing this, Guo Jia's heart skipped a beat. He felt that the second elder was not alarmist. Could it be that this place was actually an island?
Guo Jia thought again and again, gave up the idea of escape, and returned to Baijia Village.
More than a month later, Guo Jia's new home was built. Today is the day that he leaves Baijiacun to live outside. He has almost understood many matters on the island. According to villagers, Penglai Cave is a strange island sunk at the bottom of the sea. It has been isolated from the outside world for many, many years. No one has ever been able to leave here.
Guo Jia didn't believe it at first. It wasn't until the second elder came to Guo Jia and used the magic of soaring into the clouds to fly to the end of Penglai Cave and let Guo Jia see the impenetrable boundary wall that he gradually believed the villagers. what was said.
As for how Guo Jia came here, the explanation given by the second elder was that he encountered a shipwreck outside, and an old immortal on the island rescued him and took him to Penglai Cave. They are all in a deep sleep state and will only wake up once every few hundred years. This time they brought Guo Jia back to the cave and immediately fell asleep again. If Guo Jia really wants to leave this island, he must wait for the old god to wake up, and these are Guo Jia has learned all the information in the past month.
Guo Jia's new residence is located in a relatively remote wilderness area in the southwest corner of Penglai Cave Sky, far away from Baijia Village. It is a good place with dense forests and mountains at its back. Apart from Guo Jia, there is only one other family living nearby, which is the home of the two sisters in white whom Guo Jia met when he first woke up on the island.
It is said that these two sisters are a pair of orphans. Their parents were originally doctors in the village. Their father accidentally slipped and fell off a cliff while going up the mountain to collect medicine. As a result, their mother died of grief and depression, leaving only the two sisters to depend on each other. The second elder took pity on them and adopted them as adopted daughters. Although he did not discipline them very much, he would try his best to meet their requirements and loved them very much.
There are not many young women in Penglai Dongtian. As the elder sister, Bai Lian is very admired by the young men on the island. When she stays in Baijia Village, she will always be loved by some young men. Unable to bear the disturbance, Bai Lian had to ask the second elder to move out of Baijia Village, and the second elder agreed.
For these reasons, unmarried men were not allowed to live in this place. However, as an outsider, Guo Jia had the right to freely choose where to live. Even the elders did not want to violate the village's rules, so Guo Jia moved in naturally. The three elders are quite satisfied with this situation. After all, the second elder's adopted daughter lives here, which can be used to monitor Guo Jia.
