When does this world have a blood bar displayed?

Chapter 146 The Ruler of the Island

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

Kikyo was injured on Penglai Island, probably because of her spiritual power, so the Four Fighters later used her blood to create a replica by some means... But it seems that there is no complete replica of the witch who can fulfill her wish However, the power did not exert the desired effect in the end.

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

This shows that before the Four Fighting Gods were resolved, her soul had actually been kept in the cauldron of rumbling.

So now act with this body...

The person who came out of the cauldron of noise...

At least besides the shrine maiden Zou Ji, Gu Mo couldn't think of any other possibility that would be more suitable.

But at this time, the woman on the stone steps spoke calmly, her voice was the same as that of Platycodon grandiflora, like an exquisite clear spring in the mountains, but her tone was obviously completely different, relatively speaking, she was more gentle: "You two, we We finally met again... But for you, this is the first time we met."

She paused for a while, put her hand on her chest, and continued softly: "I am Suo Ji, the witch who guards Penglai Island. I am very grateful for your help before."

It really is...

Gu Mo twitched the corners of his mouth, but this situation is reasonable, at least it is understandable, if the other party is not Zuo Ji, it would be confusing for him.

"The previous help..."

Kikyo slightly raised her eyebrows. Although she had guessed something, she still felt quite weird when it was confirmed.

"..."

"..."

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

The woman who claimed to be Zuo Ji was also silent for a while, and said so with uncertainty, she probably also felt a little entangled because of this weird time reincarnation situation.

Is it the previous help, or the next one?This is something that has happened in the past, but it is something that will happen next... It is indeed easy for people to get involved unconsciously. After all, it always seems weird when it involves time travel and causal closure.

"I probably guessed a little bit, but please explain carefully..."

Kikyo nodded slightly, her slightly weird eyes were patrolling Souji's body, no matter how you say it, the feeling of seeing another "self" is a particularly weird thing.

"It's a long story..."

Zuo Ji sighed softly, her pair of water-shearing eyes, which were just like those of a witch, looked at the two of them quietly, and at the same time, she stepped gently down the stone steps.

"Master Gu Mo, Master Kikyo, is it okay for me to call you that?"

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

The priestess in front of her can't bear to call herself an adult or something... No matter how you say it, this one is the real senior, at least when Kikyo was still alive, Suo Ji She has long been the guardian priestess of Penglai Island.

Even according to some deeds that Kikyo knows, when she first landed on the island, Suo Ji may have guarded Penglai Island for two or three hundred years...

emmmmm... This is still a conservative estimate.

"Alright, then let me talk about the question that you should be more confused about, Ms. Kikyo, about why I look like this..."

Glancing at Gu Mo who was still in deep thought, Zuo Ji who came down nodded lightly, and continued in that gentle voice——

"That was before the No. 11 "reincarnation" so far, Ms. Kikyo, you had landed on Penglai Island once... "Reincarnation" is a saying on this island, because it sings every once in a while. The cauldron will be silent and will no longer stir, and the enchantment protecting Penglai Island will also disappear. That is why Penglai Island will appear every 50 years in the eyes of the outside world. "

"At that time, Ms. Kikyo, you came here. At that time, you fought with the Four Fighting Gods and were injured...the four demons were afraid of your power, but they also wanted to use your power, so they used the sages on the island We are trying to create a fake Miss Kikyo who might possess the same power..."

Staring at Kikyo not far in front of her, Zuo Ji lightly pressed her heart and said seriously:
"This is the origin of this body. I took away the origin of the four monsters, and then jumped into the cauldron of roaring. Only the soul remained, and I borrowed this body to continue to act... "

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

"But that's all. The rumbling cauldron didn't completely burn my soul, and it even protected my soul. But as a price, I can't separate from the rumbling cauldron. I can't leave this place too far. Being able to operate in this area..."

This is in a sense...

Became an existence like the spirit of this huge alchemy furnace?

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

"So that's how it is..." Kikyo thought for a while, then sighed softly and said, "That's why there are no monsters in this area, is it because of you, Miss Zuo Ji?"

This can be regarded as luck among misfortunes, but it still cannot conceal its own sad nature. This incident is a tragedy after all.

"The people on Penglai Island have left long ago, and I let those children go away... But the enchantment will still be opened every once in a while, and the monsters from the outside world will still be attracted. I rely on my current body, Borrowing the power of the Rumbling Cauldron can easily annihilate them, but only this area can be taken into consideration..."

Zuo Ji smiled helplessly: "As time goes on, they will not dare to approach here anymore, but I really can't control the outside..."

Kikyo nodded, probably understood what was going on, but his brows were still slightly furrowed, and did not relax because of it.She had indeed failed to solve the problems on the island, and was injured a little when she left, but she never thought that the blood shed would be used in this way.

Even if she wanted to curse herself through the medium of blood in the interview, it was still within her expectations. After all, when she was protecting the jade of the four souls, she also encountered too much malice, not only from demons, but also from others. People with less ambition regard her as a thorn in their side, and try their best to get rid of her, but they have never tried any insidious means.

but……

This situation was far beyond her expectations.

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

Gu Mo raised his fist and put it to his mouth, coughed and cleared his throat: "Now let's talk about another question, Ms. Zuo Ji, may I ask, did we solve the matter of Penglai Island 500 years ago? And after that, you You have been waiting for us on the island all this time, so you want to tell us about this so that we can solve the problem of Penglai Island?"

The situation is relatively easy to understand. I and Kikyo should have received the commission from Suo Ji here, triggered the mission, and then returned to the Warring States Period 500 years ago through the Well of Bone Eaters, boarded Penglai Island at that time, and solved the four problems. The demon disaster caused by God of Fighting...

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

It's like a snake biting its own tail, which happens to be a closed loop.

"It's great of you to understand..."

Zuo Ji exhaled lightly, and nodded vigorously. Although the other party seemed a little confused, she knew that the other party had sorted out his thoughts, which made her greatly relieved.

They can react immediately, so there is no need for me to waste my words... To be honest, she also feels that she doesn't know how to explain clearly. When she is alone on the island, she will occasionally think about it. Sorting out the ins and outs of this matter.

——But many times I got myself into it...

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

Zuo Ji stared at the person in front of her with a very serious tone: "Although I don't know how to do it, but judging from what you told me before, you have a way to go back to the era 500 years ago ...Although to me, that has already happened, but I still ask you 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 expression of the maiden beside him, and saw that Kikyo nodded to himself very seriously, although it felt weird and subtle, especially looking at Zuo Ji's current appearance, it was even more shocking. Miko felt particularly awkward and unnatural.

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

Zuo Ji didn't speak, but looked at them very seriously, waiting patiently.

After a little deliberation, Gu Mo raised his eyes again to look at Zuo Ji in front of him, this woman who looked exactly like a bellflower, at the same time trying to suppress the strange feeling in his heart, not showing it, but organizing his words, slowly Said: "I have another question here..."

"The life cycle of Penglai Island is relatively fixed. We can indeed go back to 500 years ago, but at that time there 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 squarely, he can't stay in this instance forever.

Kikyo next to her was taken aback for a moment, and she raised her eyes to look at this person in astonishment.

"Yes, Mr. Gu Mo, you have indeed told me..." Zou Ji pursed her lips lightly, looked at the two people in front of her, and hesitated a little, "But you also told me to solve it. The method, if possible, can you please extend your hand, just one touch."

"so?"

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

Zuo Ji stretched out her hands and held his wrist directly. He only felt a soft feeling, and then his eyes narrowed slightly, because he found that he and the witch in front of him... no, it should be said that it was the real body behind her. , that cauldron suddenly had some sort of deep link.

It is like a link established on the soul level, experiencing the specific aspects of spirit and perception.

That is the source of the island's spiritual power, which is connected to the core of the entire Penglai Island. At this moment, when people and the earth unite, his perception seems to spread rapidly in all directions along the magnetic field of the earth... He can see the Everything, including rolling mountains, towering forests, quiet lakes, etc., every corner.

The birds in the forest sleep soundly...

Dewdrops are slowly falling on the leaves...

Insects on summer nights chirp monotonously and cheerfully...

There are also many ghosts and monsters dormant in the mountains, forests, rivers, and even the depths of the abyss, and various movements of monsters that haunt the darkness...

Everything on the island can be seen clearly, although it is only perception, and there is no such thing as a powerful ability increase.At most, he felt that he seemed to be able to obtain a majestic energy supply near the roaring cauldron, or directly arouse the flames in the cauldron.

At the same time, there was a familiar piercing noise resounding in his ears, as if an electric current was passing through the cerebral cortex, and among the fragments of unknown meaning, there were barely distinguishable fragments - "The player symbol... condition...%￥ #@&...Zizi...Are you sure you have chosen to be your homeland, and there is currently a vacant quota..."

"This is……"

Gu Mo was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that in the mental retardation system, there seemed to be a way to play Laoshizi's home and territory, but because he had never obtained any territory after Lushan City, even if it was only a temporary ownership, so this way There is not much sense of presence.

Strictly speaking, the "Taoyuan Township" or "Dream City" obtained later is not a real territory, because its body is a special high-level prop, which is probably why it did not trigger the prompt in this regard.

As for the present, it seems that Penglai Island has finally met the requirements of the system?

"I can make the Navigating Cauldron recognize you as the master, now...the position of the ruler of Penglai Island belongs to you." I didn't know what I brought to the other party, but let go of Gu Mo's hand hands, Zuo Ji said softly, there was a trace of reluctance in her eyes, but the more sea was a feeling of relief.

Penglai Island is no longer the warm and peaceful paradise where humans and demons coexist, and now she is the only one left, so there is really no need to be nostalgic for anything, and using 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 but asked with a frown, as if he had some doubts about it.

Obtaining the recognition of the Nailing Cauldron in the current Penglai Island, becoming the ruler of the island...is it only limited to this era?After going back to the past, what kind of help can there be? Could it be that the past Penglai Island will also synchronize the management authority from later generations?

"I just know it's like this..." Zuo Ji looked at the witch, smiled, and said very seriously.

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

This time is different from the last time in Lushan City. It seems that because of the approval of the Naming 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. , not a temporary agent like Lushan City.

In other words, belonging is a harvest that can be taken away from this dungeon.

It's just that this is not unconditional. The pre-requirement is not only to obtain a certain sense of land ownership, but also to charge... three golden keys are required.

He couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth. In the end, Shen Jiuye's scene settlement finally gave two golden keys, that is to say, adding his previous remaining accumulation, there were only four golden keys.It turns out that this place is good, and I have to charge myself a full three handling fees at once...

But strictly speaking, it is definitely worth it. The area and ecology of the entire Penglai Island, whether it is the legacy of the immortals, the conditions for the cultivation of strong aura, the cauldron of resounding, the enchantment of time, etc., all of these are added. Speaking of it, it is definitely a good resource worth investing in three golden keys to obtain.

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

"Wait a minute, I'll take care of some minor issues..."

He looked up to the front, and a large mirror appeared in the air. This was the result of the rapid outline and materialization of the projection magic. He was already very handy when doing this kind of thing. The projection can be completed.

"..."

"..."

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

The necessary operations were quickly completed through the mirror. Gu Mo watched three golden keys being directly deducted from his funds, took a deep breath, and waited with anticipation...waiting...and another point passed like this For many minutes, nothing happened.

Um?This is the end?

Gu Mo's expression froze slightly. He tried to open the homepage, and found that a management panel composed of various values ​​on the island had appeared.

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

"Well, it should be fine..." Nodding slightly uncertainly, Gu Mo stretched out his hand to remove the mirror, and the fantasy disappeared in an instant, dissipating in the air.He also thought that there would be some big changes in the future, or that the entire Penglai Island would become a portable space.

But now, it seems that this is not the case... As for what is going on, he still doesn't know, so he can only explore it later.

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

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

"It should be no problem. If you want to, we can try it now..." Gu Mo gave a more confident answer. Penglai Island itself may not synchronize other time permissions, but the dog system is enough Awesome, although there are many cheating places, but it is never ambiguous in terms of money and goods.

And Zuo Ji only gave such an answer, which shows that this is indeed enough.

"Let's wait for this one..." Kikyo looked directly at him, with serious eyes. "What did you say... what do you mean?"

"Why can't we wait for that time?"

"This..."

Gu Mo said haha, it seems that it is indeed time to talk about this matter——

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