Chapter 40 The Witch of Penglai Island(1/2)
Gu Mo stretched out a slender index finger and gently scratched his cheek. He understood what Kikyo said...
In fact, this is certainly not difficult to understand.
However, he had just denied this possibility before, but the slap in the face came so quickly, like a tornado, which made him feel a little surprised. He breathed out softly, and he moved closer and looked at the two hands in the witch's hand.
The arrows seem to be exactly the same in appearance, including the mark that Platycodon mentioned.
As for the aura...it's relatively close, but it's not exactly the same. With his keen mental power at this time, he can easily find the differences.
But this doesn't mean anything. After all, the witch must have noticed this, and if this arrow was shot during the Warring States Period, it would have been living on Penglai Island for five hundred years - even if it was because of the barrier on the island.
Because of this, the time flow rate in Penglai Island is different from that in the outside world - and there will be some changes.
This is a normal result.
"It's good, at least it's a signal that allows us to prepare in advance..." Gu Mo coughed lightly and said seriously, "If you want to verify it, it's very simple. Suppose these two arrows
The arrow is indeed the same arrow, so if you make another mark on the original arrow, you can see it."
"Let me see..."
Platycodon thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
She turned one of the arrows upside down, and gently stroked the arrow shaft with her slender fingertips. The pure light of spiritual power flashed away, and there was an obvious notch on the smooth arrow shaft... It was obvious that
It is a weak and boneless jade finger, but it can easily do this kind of thing, but it is not just the power of the diamond finger.
You can do it yourself, and you don’t even need to rely on demon power.
Gu Mo glanced at his hands subconsciously. After many monster transformations, even though he was able to dissolve the combination with the power of the Nine Tails each time, his body was transformed by the pure high-level monster power again and again.
Or something has changed more or less.
His mastery of demon power is a proof, and his nails seem to be a bit slender now. Although they are not as sharp as when he transformed into a demon, they are probably not as strong as the attack power and hardness when he transformed into a demon. They can directly penetrate the body of the goddess with his bare hands and take out the god of the night.
The extent of my heart...
But if you just want to leave a mark on the wood, it shouldn't be too difficult.
"It's indeed the same..."
Kikyo's tone was very indifferent, and there was no hint of surprise. Or rather, she had actually accepted the guess just now, and what she was doing now was just to confirm.
The moment the notch appeared on that arrow shaft, the same notch appeared on the other arrow shaft, exactly the same... While Gu Mo was thinking, he had been paying attention to the two arrows.
situation, it was also the first time I noticed the synchronized changes between them.
To be honest, it was indeed miraculous, but he couldn't see the mystery behind the change at all...
Not only is it incomprehensible to the senses with the naked eye, but the spiritual thoughts that have been shrouding it are also completely unable to detect anything special.
Perhaps this is the power of time? It is far from an area that can be easily touched? He blinked his eyes gently, reached out and took the two arrows in Platycodon's hand, pretending to look at them carefully, but in fact
However, the final confirmation is made through the system's comment function.
"It's really like this. It's such a mysterious feeling. Should this be said to be something that happened in the past or something that will happen in the future..."
While he was sighing with emotion, he suddenly had a strange idea.
He looked at the witch:
"Speaking of which, is this destined? If...I mean if, we break this first arrow now, it will definitely be useless. Then Kikyo, you shouldn't be able to use it during the Warring States Period.
Come out, right? Then what will happen to what we just experienced?"
The witch was slightly startled. She probably didn't expect this person's mind to be so strange. She had just confirmed such a thing, and then she turned around and thought about the possibility of a bug.
"It's best not to try to play with time... This idea is very dangerous."
She shook her head gently and said in a calm voice, while reaching out and taking back the two arrows.
"Ah ha, this... I actually know that too." Gu Mo said with a haha. The reason why a whim is a whim is because it is a strange idea that comes out of nowhere. If it is a thought after careful consideration, then
You won’t have such weird thoughts.
But the witch is right. Playing with time is not a good idea. If this is something that is already destined, then if you want to change it, what will happen next? Gu Mo thinks that it will always happen.
What can prevent things from changing and bring everything back to where it started.
Either it has indeed changed what was going to happen, causing time to change accordingly, and then huge corrections will be made along the timeline. I don’t know what it will look like in the end...
After thinking seriously for a while, he twitched his lips and quickly followed Platycodon in front of him.
…………
The beach has soft lines, a wide and gentle area, and the sand is white and soft, stretching in the shape of a crescent. The forest vegetation further inside the coastline is extremely dense, with towering trees and ancient ferns intertwined with each other.
In the distance, you can see the silhouette of rolling mountains.
In fact, before the Dead Soul Insect approached the island and landed on the beach at the edge of the island, Gu Mo had already overlooked the entire island——
In addition to the majestic ancient forests, flat plains and vast expanse of blue lakes, cascading waterfalls hang in the deep drop. At the edge of the huge lake, the scenery along the lakeside is a group of deserted ancient houses.
Continuous, like villages in ancient times, but most of them are decayed and have no breath of life.
As for the heart of the island, the mountains are steep and sharp, as if they can cut through the blue sky at any time. They are intertwined and jagged with jagged rocks. The peak in the center is like a huge crater, and the top is slowly rising as if
The black smoke that never stops...
It is not a very small overseas island. Its area is extremely huge, and the concentration of spiritual energy in the air is very strong.
The Warring States Period five hundred years ago was far from this level, let alone the declining modern world. It is indeed convincing enough to say that it is the spiritual land left by the ancient immortals. Just this abundant
Reiki is already a pretty good cultivation condition.
The two of them walked along, and the scenery they saw along the way was quite quiet and beautiful.
Not long after.
They came to the edge of the huge lake in the interior of the island. In front of them were groups of houses built along the coast. The thatched roofs had long been pitted and dilapidated, and the wood also gave off an unpleasant smell of decay... Those
Stretching above the calm lake, the trestle used as an aisle, the fishing nets hanging on the side, and the docked fishing boats are also in tatters.
Although the traces of its existence have not been completely wiped out, it can be seen that a long time has passed.
No one lives in the village, and no one takes care of it. Naturally, everything becomes sad and dilapidated, slowly decaying.
"..."
"..."
The witch was silent. She gently pushed open the wooden door of a house, making an unpleasant squeaking sound, as if the door would collapse at any time... No, it should be said that the whole house seemed to be crumbling, like the wind.
It was about to collapse as soon as it blew, but the witch just pushed the door open, and the room seemed to be shaking slightly.
"Be careful..."
Gu Mo was watching outside, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but twitch slightly. Although he knew that even if the house collapsed, there wouldn't be any harm, but he still couldn't help but give a reminder.
"Yeah, I know."
Kikyo replied calmly, carefully looking at the environment in the room.
After a while, she withdrew from it, picked another room and walked over.
Compared with the half-collapsed ruins of the ruins, the houses in this small area are still relatively complete. There are also obvious signs of repairs many times. They should be the last residence of the surviving residents on the island.
If she wanted to collect information, it would be best to start from these places.
Gu Mo looked around and simply walked along the trestle not far away.
The trestle extends far across the lake, and at the end is a high platform made of stones, a facility like an altar. There are also brazier-like concave designs on the corners, but they are now covered with green moss.
.
Standing on the high platform and looking at the quiet mountains and lakes under the night, Gu Mo took a deep breath of fresh air. The scenery in this scene was really refreshing.
The huge lake is surrounded by the surrounding mountains, as if it is powerfully embraced by the outstretched arms of a giant. The calm surface of the lake is like a huge mirror. On the vast, sparkling lake, the moon in the deep sky is reflected.
With the stars...
A picturesque scenery, like a paradise.
But this place is originally a paradise. Such a huge island, such beautiful scenery, rich spiritual environment and cultivation conditions, and even a large barrier to isolate it from the world. The residents on the island are also humans and monsters... emmmmm,
By the way, what’s going on with this sense of déjà vu?
For a moment, Gu Mo's expression looked a little subtle.
At this time, the calm lake water slowly surged, and something huge seemed to notice the young man standing on the altar on the lake. A pair of huge cold and ruthless eyes opened under the water, staring coldly at the young man above...
…Then, the young man narrowed his eyes and looked over as if aware.
"Huh? What are you looking at?"
The next moment, everything came to an abrupt end.
The restlessness on the lake surface quickly stopped, and everything returned to calmness.
Just as the dragon's power can intimidate all weak creatures, just a slight touch of sight across the thick lake water, in a short moment, the spirit of the monster under the lake is greatly shocked and traumatized... The huge monster underwater quickly
Recognize the reality and retract decisively to pretend to be dead.
"Let's go take a look in the mountains now..."
To be continued...
