When Does This World Have a Blood Bar Displayed? Chapter 146

   Chapter 146 Master of the Island

   At this moment, Gu Mo's mind was racing, and he quickly sorted out all the information and clues he had.

Kikyo was injured on Penglai Island, probably because of her spiritual power, so the Four Fighters used her blood to create a replica body... But it seems that there is no one who can fully replicate the witch. Power, and ultimately did not play the desired effect.

After Zakuji took away the origin of the Four Fighting Gods, she also threw herself into the cauldron with the idea of ​​burning all the jade and stone, but she did not die completely. At least in the original plot, the jade box that sealed the Four Fighting Gods was entrusted to Inuyasha and the others. , the real soul disappears.

   This means that before the Four Fighters God was resolved, her soul actually remained in the Cauldron of Sound.

   Then now act with this body…

  The one who came out of the rumbling cauldron...

   At least, apart from the shrine maiden, Gu Mo couldn't think of other possibilities that would be more suitable.

At this time, the woman on the stone steps spoke calmly, her tone was the same as that of a bellflower, like a delicate spring in the mountains, but her tone was obviously completely different, and it was relatively gentler: "You two, we We finally meet again...but for you, this is the first time we've met."

   She paused for a moment, put her hand on her chest, and continued softly: "I'm Zoji, the priestess who guards Penglai Island. I'm very grateful for your help before."

   Sure enough…

   Gu Mo twitched the corners of his mouth, but this situation is reasonable, at least understandable, if the other party is not Xue Ji, then he can't figure it out.

   "The previous help..."

   Kikyo raised his eyebrows slightly, although he had already guessed, but when it was confirmed, he still felt quite strange.

   "...Perhaps I should say, thank you for your help next?"

   The woman who claimed to be Zoji was also silent for a while, and said so uncertainly, she was probably a little bit tangled because of this weird time reincarnation situation.

   Is it the previous help, or the next help? This is something that has already happened in the past, but it is what will happen next... It is indeed easy for people to get into it without realizing it. After all, it always seems weird when it comes to time and space travel and the closed loop of cause and effect.

   "I guessed a little bit, but please elaborate..."

   Kikyo nodded slightly, her slightly weird eyes scrutinized Zaki's body, no matter what she said, the feeling of seeing another "self" was a very strange thing.

   "This is a long story..."

  Zao Ji sighed softly, and the pair of water-cut eyes that were the same as those of a priestess looked at the two of them quietly, and at the same time gently stepped down from the stone steps.

   "Master Gu Mo, Master Kikyo, can I call you that?"

Being able to say the names of the two is another proof, but Kikyo shook her head slightly: "Just call me by my name, Miss Zoji." At the same time, she looked at someone beside her inexplicably. At first glance, his eyes were calm and there seemed to be no special emotional fluctuations.

The shrine maiden in front of her called herself an adult or something, and she couldn't bear it... No matter what she said, this one was the real senior, at least when Kikyo was alive, Zakuji was there. She was already the guardian witch of Penglai Island.

  According to some of the deeds Kikyo knew, when she first landed on the island, Zoji may have guarded Penglai Island for two or three hundred years...

  emmmmm… This is still a conservative estimate.

   "Alright, then let me first talk about a question that you should be puzzled about, Miss Kikyo, about why I look like this..."

   glanced at Gu Mo, who was still in deep thought, and Xue Ji, who came down, nodded lightly, and continued in that gentle tone—

"That was before the eleventh "Rotation" so far. Miss Kikyo, you had already landed on the island of Penglai once..."Rotation" is the term for this island, because every once in a while the sounding cauldron It will be silent and no longer sound, and the barrier protecting Penglai Island will disappear. That is the reason why Penglai Island will appear every 50 years in the eyes of the outside world. "

"At that time, Miss Kikyo, you came here, fought against the four gods and got injured... Those four demons were afraid of your power, but they also wanted to use your power, so they used the sages on the island. The legacy of , trying to create a Miss Kikyo who, although false, may have the same power..."

   Staring at Kikyo not far in front of him, Zouji gently pressed her heart and said seriously:

   "This is the origin of this body. I took away the origin of the four demons and jumped into the cauldron of sound. Only the soul was left, and it was only by borrowing this body that I could continue to move..."

   Having said that, she stopped and turned to look at the flaming cauldron behind her.

"But it's limited to this. The Cauldron of Singing didn't completely burn my soul, and it also protected my soul, but as a price, I can't be separated from the Cauldron of Singing anymore, I can't leave this place too far, only Being able to work in this area…”

   This is in a sense…

   Became an existence like the artifact of this huge pill furnace?

  Gu Mo nodded thoughtfully, carefully looked at the state of Xue Ji who came not far away, and could see some clues.

   "I see..." Kikyo thought for a while, then sighed softly, "That's why there aren't any monsters in this area, is it because of you, Miss Kouji?"

   This is a fortune among misfortunes, but it still cannot hide the nature of its own sorrow, and this incident is a tragedy after all.

"The people of Penglai Island have already left, and I let those children go... But the barrier will still be opened every once in a while, and the monsters from the outside will still be attracted. I rely on this body now, borrowing The power of the rumbling cauldron can easily annihilate them, but it can only take care of this area..."

  Zaoji smiled helplessly: "Over time, they won't dare to get close to here, but I really can't control the outside..."

   Kikyo nodded, and understood what was going on, but his brows were still lightly frowned, and he didn't relax because of it. She did not solve the problem on the island, and she was injured a little when she left, but she never thought that the blood she shed would be used in this way.

Even if the opposite party tried to curse herself through blood, it was still within her expectation. After all, when she was guarding the Jade of the Four Souls, she also encountered too much malice, not only from demons, but also from evil spirits. People with less ambition regard her as a thorn in their eyes, and try their best to get rid of her, but I have never tried any sinister means.

but…

   This situation was far beyond her expectations.

   "Well, the general situation, I already understand..."

Gu Mo raised his fist to his mouth, and cleared his throat with a cough: "Now let's talk about another question, Miss Zaoji, may I ask, did we settle the matter of Penglai Island five hundred years ago? Then after that, you You have been waiting for us on the island, tell us about this, and let us solve the problem of Penglai Island?"

The situation is relatively easy to understand. I and Kikyo should have received a request from Zao Ji here, triggered the mission, and then returned to the Warring States period five hundred years ago through the Bone Eating Well, and boarded the Penglai Island at that time to solve the problem. The calamity caused by the Four Fighting Gods...

Then he helped Zoji out of the predicament at that time, and also told her relevant information, so Zoji at that time continued to watch on Penglai Island until he met the two of them again 500 years later, and then it happened again The situation at the beginning...

   is like a snake biting its own tail, just like a closed loop.

   "It's great that you understand..."

  Zao Ji exhaled softly and nodded vigorously. Although the other party was a little confused, she knew that the other party had already sorted out his thoughts, which made her greatly relieved.

They were able to react immediately, so there was no need for her to talk too much... To be honest, she also felt that she didn't know how to explain it clearly. When she was alone on the island, she would occasionally think about it. Clear the ins and outs of this matter.

  —but got myself into it many times…

  —It's not that I can't understand it, but after I understand it, I am more and more puzzled about the weirdness…

Xue Ji stared at the person in front of her with a very serious tone: "Although I don't know how to do it, but from what you have told me before, there is a way for you to go back to that era five hundred years ago. Yes... Although for me, that has already happened, I still ask you now to help the Penglai Island in the past."

   There was a brief silence, only the sound of the huge flames burning in the pill furnace.

Gu Mo thought about it seriously, and then looked at the look of the witch beside him, and saw Kikyo nodded to him very seriously, although it felt weird and subtle, especially looking at the current appearance of Xue Ji, it was even more disturbing. Miko's heart is particularly awkward and unnatural.

   But she is such a person, there is no way to turn a blind eye to suffering, and all this has left a doomed mark on the scale of time, she naturally has no reason to refuse.

  Saoji didn't speak, just looked at them seriously and waited patiently.

After thinking for a while, Gu Mo raised his eyes again to look at Zao Ji in front of him, a woman who looked like a bellflower. At the same time, he tried to suppress the strange feeling in his heart. Instead of showing it, he organized the language and slowly "I have another question here..."

"The cycle of Penglai Island's existence is relatively fixed. We can indeed go back to five hundred years ago, but at that time, it should be a long time before Penglai Island appeared, at least according to my understanding. ...and I probably won't be able to wait until then."

   This is a reality that must be faced, he can't stay in this dungeon all the time.

The Kikyo next to    was stunned for a moment, and she raised her eyes to look at this person in a stunned manner.

"Yes, Mr. Gu Mo, you did tell me..." Zao Ji pursed her lips lightly, looked at the two in front of her, and hesitated for a while, "But you also told me the solution. , if possible, can I ask you to stretch out your hand, just for a moment."

"so?"

  Gu Mo blinked and stretched out a hand... It shouldn't be a good show, right?

Zouji stretched out his hands and directly held his wrist. He only felt a soft feeling, and then his eyes narrowed slightly, because he found himself and the witch in front of him... No, it should be said that it is the real body behind her, Some sort of deep link suddenly appeared in that cauldron.

   is like a connection established at the soul level, experienced in specific aspects of spirit and perception.

It is the source of spiritual power of the island, connecting the core of the leylines of the entire Penglai Island. At this moment, people and the earth are in harmony. His perception seems to be spreading rapidly in all directions along the magnetic field of the leylines... He can see everything on Penglai Island. , including rolling mountains, sturdy forests, quiet lakes, and so on, every corner.

  The birds in the forest sleep soundly…

  The dew drops slowly on the leaves…

  Insects on summer nights make a monotonous and cheerful chirping…

   There are also many ghosts and monsters lurking in the mountains, forests and rivers, and even in the depths of the abyss, and various movements of the monsters that appear in the dark...

   Everything on the island can be seen clearly, although it is only perception, and there is no such effect as powerful ability enhancement. At most, I feel that I can get a majestic energy supply near the chirping cauldron, or directly trigger the flames in the cauldron.

At the same time, a familiar screeching noise resounded in his ears, as if electric currents were running through the cerebral cortex. Among the fragmentation of unknown meaning, there were fragments that were barely distinguishable—“Player sign detected…condition…%￥#@& ;…Ziz…Do you confirm the current choice as a home, there is currently a vacant place…”

"This is…"

Gu Mo was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that there seems to be a play method such as Lao Shizi's home and territory in the mental retardation system, but because he has not obtained any territory after Lushan City, even if it is only temporary ownership, so this play method There is not much presence.

   The "Taoyuan Township" or "Dream City" obtained later is not strictly a real territory, because its main body is a special high-level item, and probably this is the reason why this prompt is not triggered.

   As for now, it seems that Penglai Island finally meets the requirements of the system?

"I can make the Ringing Cauldron recognize you as the master, and now... the position of the ruler of Penglai Island belongs to you." Not knowing what he brought to the other party, he just let go of the palm of Gu Mo's hand. With both hands, Zou Ji said softly, there was a hint of reluctance in her eyes, but more of the sea was a feeling of relief.

Penglai Island is no longer the warm and peaceful paradise where shemales and monsters coexist, and now she is the only one left, so there is really no need to miss anything. Taking this as a bargaining chip to solve the urgent need in history is the most important thing. important things.

   "Is this the solution?"

   Kikyo couldn't help frowning and asked, seeming to have some doubts about it.

   Acquired the approval of the rumbling cauldron on the current Hourai Island and became the owner of the island... It's only limited to the current era, right? After returning to the past, what kind of help can I get? Could it be that the Penglai Island in the past will also synchronize the management rights from later generations?

   "I only know that's the way it is..." Zoji looked at the priestess, smiled and said very seriously.

   Kikyo looked at Gu Mo, only to see Gu Mo raised his hand and half-closed his eyes as if thinking about something: "Wait a minute, let me stroke it..."

This time is different from the last time in Lushan City. It seems that it is because of the approval of the Ringing Cauldron and the real ownership of this spiritual land. The system prompts that you can choose to unlock it as your home, which seems to be permanent. , instead of a temporary agency like Heronyama Castle.

   In other words, belonging is the harvest that can be taken away from this copy.

   It's just that this is not unconditional. The pre-requirement not only requires real ownership of land in a certain sense, but also requires a fee…Three golden keys are required.

   He couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, Shen Jiuye's scene settlement finally gave two golden keys, that is, plus his previous accumulation, there were only four golden keys. The result is good here, I have to charge myself a full three fees at once...

But strictly speaking, this is definitely worth it. The area and ecology of the entire Penglai Island, whether it is the legacy of the immortals, the strong spiritual cultivation conditions, the sounding cauldron, the enchantment of time, etc., all add to the Up, it is definitely a great resource that is worth investing in three golden keys to acquire.

   There is almost no need to tangle, Gu Mo has already made a decision.

   "Wait a minute, I'll deal with some minor issues..."

He looked up and looked forward, and a large mirror appeared in the air. This was the result of the projection magic quickly sketching the outline and realizing it. He was already very handy in doing this kind of thing, and it took a moment to move his mind. The projection can be completed.

   The two witches looked at the scene in front of them quietly and strangely, not knowing what this person was doing, because all they could see was the normal mirror reflection.

He quickly completed the necessary operations through the mirror. Seeing that his funds were directly deducted from three golden keys, Gu Mo took a deep breath and waited with anticipation...waiting...and more than a minute passed. time, nothing happened.

Um? Is this the end?

   Gu Mo's expression froze slightly. He tried to open the home page and found that the management panel made up of various values ​​on the island had appeared.

   "Is it alright?" Kikyo, who had been waiting patiently since just now, asked indifferently.

   "Well, it should be alright..." Nodding slightly uncertainly, Gu Mo stretched out his hand to remove the mirror, and the fantasy instantly vanished into the air. He also thought that there would be a big move next, or that the entire Penglai Island would become a portable space or something.

   But now, it seems that this is not the case... As for what is going on, he still can't figure it out, and he can only explore it slowly later.

   The only thing that can be confirmed is that he is indeed the ruler of Penglai Island.

   "Do you think it's feasible?" The witch asked with a little doubt.

"It shouldn't be a problem, if you want Kikyo, we can try it now..." Gu Mo gave a more confident answer, Penglai Island itself may not be able to synchronize permissions at other times, but the dog system is powerful enough , Although there are a lot of pitfalls, but it is never ambiguous in terms of money and goods.

   And Naomi only gave such an answer, indicating that this is indeed enough.

   "Let's wait for this first..." Kikyo looked directly at him with a very serious look in his eyes. "What did you say before... what did you mean?"

   "Why do you say you can't wait for that time?"

   "This..."

   Gu Mo snorted haha, it seems that he really should talk about this matter—

   "I may be leaving this world soon..."
