Chapter 44 Accident...and another invitation

 Clone warehouse...

Of course, this was Gu Mo's name, and Zuo Ji didn't know what the thing was called. Although he didn't know why he called it that, and what the meaning of this weird name was, it was an irrelevant question in the first place.

Therefore, there is no special correction.

Anyway, the entire Penglai Island belongs to this person from now on. It is his right to give anything on the island and change its name to whatever he wants.

But strictly speaking, Gu Mo's name is somewhat related. Although this cloning warehouse is not realized through technology, it is a legacy of ancient immortals on Penglai Island, and it is the crystallization of mysterious cloning technology... It is true.

It is quite sophisticated and cutting-edge technology.

And this magic "clone warehouse"——

But it is the deepest part of the dense forest hidden on the other side of the island.

"...This is because we need to extract the growth power of the wood spirit and use the vitality of the forest to breed new life. As for what kind of magic it is, I can't figure it out. This is already a very clever fairy.

It’s a skill, I’ve only heard the teacher say that before.”

Suuji's voice sounded softly, telling some brief information about the magic "Clone Cang".

"It is said that this is a method used by the immortals on the island in ancient times to avoid disasters. Even if the physical body is destroyed due to some disaster, it can still reshape the body. Even if there is only a drop of blood left, it can be reborn... But that

Several demons do not understand the mystery, but just want to use it to realize their ambitions, just like they did with the Roaring Cauldron."

While they were talking, the two or three people had already passed through the dense forest.

They walked along the quiet path in the forest, and followed Zuo Ji's guidance to an open space in the forest that seemed ordinary and nothing special.

Of course, it just doesn't seem to be anything ordinary. Gu Mo relies on his control of the island to be able to keenly and clearly feel that there is a special "island facility" hidden here. Although it is not like the roaring cauldron, it is connected to the huge island.

The earth's magnetic field is the source of spiritual power for the entire island, but it is also the core of this vast forest.

In his perception, the forest is full of vitality, like an ocean of pure vitality. The essence of every drop of sea water is the vigorous growth force of all things.

And there is a whirlpool in this ocean, or an absolute core like an eye of the sea, into which all the power of growth flows, converging at one point——

It's right here.

As soon as he thought, the stacked and dense trees in front of him suddenly separated from the intricate and entangled state. It was like a wall made of intertwined trees and thorns, retreating to both sides under the magical power.

.

Originally there was no road...

Revealing the "Tree of Life" hidden behind it...

The giant plant looks like a big tree, but if you look closely, it looks like a giant flower, or a combination of the two, like a huge bud growing on a tree, with petals tightly closed, and like

It is a huge blister wrapped in thorns, and the surface is a thick amniotic membrane.

Nothing can be seen clearly inside, and even mental power cannot penetrate it. It is easily blocked by some kind of force.

"This is it..."

Zuoji said softly.

"Just reshaping a new body usually takes one rotation. If the body that needs to be reshaped is very powerful, it will take more time... and now it is actually still some time since the last rotation, so

It’s actually not completed yet, but Lord Gu Mo, you can take the initiative to energize the forest to complete the form..."

The existence of this forest is for the tree of life in front of you.

In addition, the area is vast enough, and the accumulated power of hair growth over the years is very majestic. Moreover, the manufacturing process is already nearing the end. It is naturally harmless to expend some vitality to speed up the process. For

The consumption of the vitality of the forest is only a drop in the bucket.

"Then let me try..."

Gu Mo nodded. This time's rotation is indeed not enough, and there is still some time before Penglai Island's normal opening hours.

It's just that he used his authority as the controller to remotely silence the Roaring Cauldron in advance, causing the Barrier of Time to disappear, allowing the island to reappear in the world tonight.

It was precisely because of such a sudden attack without warning that the Four Gods of Fighting were caught off guard——

The barrier of time suddenly and abnormally disappeared, the island reappeared in the world, and then the two dog brothers came directly to the door... It was enough to make them panic without preparation.

In the end, the new owner of the island bypassed the battlefield unnoticed, without even meeting them face to face, and directly found Suuji, fundamentally cutting off their lifeline in one fell swoop, causing them to be completely wiped out... Needless to say

The doubtful thing is definitely the BOSS who died in the most painful way.

"..."

"..."

Time passes minute by minute.

The wind blew through the quiet forest, and the bright moonlight passed through the gaps between the layers, casting little silvery white spots on the ground.

"It seems...that's it? Is this okay?" Gu Mo said with some uncertainty. He felt that he had done something, but nothing seemed to have changed. It was like he had released his skills, but a little bit

There was no performance effect or feedback, so naturally I felt a little less confident.

——Did I press skills?

——If I press it, why is there no response at all?

Probably because of this doubt, he couldn't help but look at the ball of soul light held by the miko next to him, and then at the miko who kept lowering her eyes and eyebrows without saying a word, and then blinked.
I always feel...

It seems that the atmosphere has not been right since just now.

"It's all right now, Lord Gu Mo..." At this time, Zuo Ji's voice sounded softly in the quiet forest, like the cool breeze blowing by at night in midsummer, giving people the right feeling of gentleness, "

Next, just let it open, and the shape inside is truly completed..."

"That's it, okay..."

Gu Mo, who was thinking about something and seriously recalling everything that had happened from just now to now, subconsciously nodded slightly when he heard this. Since Zuo Ji said so, there should be no problem. This is probably the fairy.

It’s a realm where art is highly respected.

Return to nature, the elephant is invisible, and the moisturizing thing is silent.

That’s why there is no grandiose momentum and special effects, no superficial light, shadow and special effects, but in fact everything has been achieved quietly.

"No, wait a minute, Lord Gu Mo, there is one more thing -" The next moment, Zuo Ji seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and her tone suddenly became a little panicked, and she hurriedly added.

But it's too late...

The huge flower buds suddenly bloomed in layers, and they were extremely clear and steaming. The warm water, which seemed like a hot spring but had a fresh forest atmosphere, poured down. Accompanied by the sound of rushing water, there was a figure.

Revealed from it...

The long hair scattered under the body like black silk...

It is wet because it is covered with water vapor, and it sticks tightly to the jade-like white skin...

The slender collarbones, white and slender legs, slender naked feet, and the long, wet, textured black hair form an extremely sharp contrast...

"..."

"..."

The air completely solidified at this moment, and the scene became dead silent.

Gu Mo was stunned for a moment, and then the moment he reacted, he felt a terrible chill coming from the side. When he subconsciously turned his head to look, he happened to meet the witch's cold eyes.

Looking at each other...this time it seems that it is not an illusion.

…………

……

The sound of getting dressed sounded in the forest.

Gu Mo was squatting on an open ground far away, holding a small branch in his hand and drawing circles on the ground, surrounded by fireflies flying around. Perhaps because of his current status, he was not interested in the creatures on the island.

Due to their strong affinity, they all gathered together without realizing it.

My thoughts are a little confused...

Gu Mo shook his head vigorously, and then took a long breath, expelling all the distracting thoughts from his mind, and tried his best to think from an optimistic perspective... Well, I couldn't be optimistic at all. At that time, Kikyo was all over the place.

The ultra-low pressure emanating from it is terrifying just thinking about it...

"But...it's okay..."

The tone belonging to Miss Zuoji sounded in the forest. It was completely different from the previous voice, and seemed to be very unnatural.

Why so fast...

Gu Mo also twitched the corner of his mouth. He sighed again. He stood up and threw away the small branch in his hand. He stretched out his hand and waved away the fireflies around him. Then he turned around, letting his restrained spirit go with him.

The perception spreads again, and the road back and forth goes back.

In the forest, the huge plant that can give birth to life and reshape the body has been hidden again. The core of the forest is protected by layers of illusions and barriers... The witch stood quietly, lowering her long eyelashes.

, without saying a word, and in front of her, there was a scene that was like a mirror image.

Exactly the same figure, exactly the same appearance, just wearing a heroic swordsman's armor and a cross star ring on his head...

This is Gu Mo’s temporary projection of clothing.

Although it was a fake copied based on his previous impressions, it could at least solve an urgent need.

The air was a little quiet, and the two shrine maidens didn't speak. Kikyo didn't know what she was thinking, and kept lowering her eyes and eyebrows. Suuji, on the other hand, was obviously embarrassed, and her cheeks were slightly rosy, and she didn't know whether it was because of the previous use.

Kikyo feels embarrassed about the prototype's cloned body, or because of what happened just now...

"Ahem, it's all done...it's pretty good..."

There was a slight cough, and Gu Mo, who came over, tried to keep his tone natural enough, pretending that nothing happened just now.

"Yes... Lord Gu Mo, I... I still want to thank you..."

Zuo Ji looked in his direction, showed a heartfelt smile, and said very gently and seriously, but at the same time, she didn't know what she was thinking of, her eyes looked away unnaturally, and her eyes wandered away from him.

Looking at each other, their fair faces were blushing with embarrassment.

"..."

"..."

The scene became quiet again, and the air was filled with the smell of embarrassment.

Maybe he really remembered something temporarily, or maybe he couldn't bear the embarrassment and desperately wanted to find an excuse to escape from the current embarrassment. Suuji suddenly seemed to be shocked: "Yes, that's right, those people

Children...I'm going to see how those children are doing!"

"Hug, sorry! Excuse me for a moment..."

She said in a panic, then turned around and walked quickly as if fleeing the scene.

"..."

"..."

In the quiet open space of the forest, only two people were left again, and the air returned to silence again.

"She must care about those children very much, but only when the Screaming Cauldron falls silent can her soul leave the area for a short time. Let her go this night..."

Gu Mo watched Zuo Ji's back disappearing on the quiet path, and said with a haha, Zuo Ji's soul was like an earthbound spirit bound near the Roaring Cauldron, and it protected her as well.

The power that also bound her was naturally the power of the Roaring Cauldron.

So it’s not impossible to leave the vicinity of the Roaring Cauldron——

But according to outside time, there is only one rotation every fifty years. According to Penglai Island's time, there is only one day every year when the cauldron in the mountains stops ringing and falls into silence. And at this time, the sound of the cauldron in the mountains stops.

The power of the moving cauldron will also disappear, so the barrier of time will not be maintained.

And since the power of the Roaring Cauldron will disappear in this short day, then Suuji's soul can naturally be temporarily freed from the bondage... So at this time, they can take Suoji's soul to find a new one.

body, and it was only on this night that Suuji was able to move more freely on the island.

It’s just——

The witch seemed to have no intention of paying attention to Gu Mo's behavior.

She stood quietly, lowering her long eyelashes, and said nothing since just now.

"Um... Platycodon, about what happened just now..." Gu Mo stood there, took a deep breath, thought about it carefully, and felt that there was probably no way around it, so he simply spoke seriously.

said.

"...Stop talking about it, this matter has passed."

Kikyo finally made some movement, raised her eyes and glanced at him coldly, and said without any fluctuation in her voice.

She subconsciously tightened the long bow behind her back.

If she felt unhappy and upset just because she thought of something before... then now, she really has the urge to nail the other person to the tree with an arrow.

…………

……

In the village by the lake.

"Really...Sister Suoji?"

A group of half-demon children couldn't believe it and surrounded the miko who was dressed as a swordsman and wearing a cross star ring. Her tone was trembling inexplicably, but there was also a faint hope deep in her eyes. They had also had enough of this cruel day.

, now we finally see the dawn of joy after suffering.

The Four Fighting Gods were reduced to ashes...

Even Sister Suuji, who had died to protect them, came back to life... Even if she changed her body, there is really nothing better than this...

"It's true, I'm back...I'm sorry, everyone, I couldn't protect you." There were tears in the corners of her eyes, and there were tears in Zuo Ji's smile, looking at the remaining children,

I felt so sad and heartbroken, and it became even more so when I looked at the rows of densely packed houses around me.

When Penglai Island was prosperous, there were villages with hundreds of people...

After the massacre by those ferocious monsters, now, only a dozen or so children are left alive on the island.

"Platycodon?"

An obviously surprised voice came from afar.

Suuji subconsciously looked at the entrance of the village and found a group of strangers standing there. The leader, a man and a woman, were staring at her in shock.

Naturally, InuYasha and his team struggled with the air for a long time. After discovering that Longluo had indeed completely evaporated, they rushed back towards the village in confusion, and then happened to encounter this scene...

…………

"Boring..."

On the hilltop farther away, quietly watching what was happening in the village, Sesshomaru seemed to comment rather boredly, turned around and left, his long silver hair swaying gracefully in the night wind.

He really hated what happened tonight. He originally came with the idea of ​​avenging his past humiliation, but as a result, the Four Gods of Fighting died in such an unexplained way. He was so aggrieved that they disappeared into ashes. The expected vigorous and dignified decisive battle was not at all possible.

It doesn't exist, which naturally makes this noble young man feel like he has been punched on cotton.

"Lord Sesshomaru, wait for me..."

The little girl in kimono quickly ran up with her little feet and followed closely.

Xie Jian also quickly took the reins of the two-headed dragon monster's mount and followed him quickly. The figures of the group of people gradually moved away in the night.

…………

……

The other side.

It is still a quiet forest, but the atmosphere has become quite subtle. Although it is cold and depressing, it is more of an awkward feeling.

"About what happened before..." Gu Mo said seriously.

"I told you to stop talking!" Kikyo frowned.

Gu Mo didn't seem to hear it, or he didn't care at all. He just thought carefully and organized his words to continue: "I can actually quibble, no, I can actually explain..."
p>

"Stop talking!!" The witch frowned and stared coldly at this ignorant person. This matter has already passed, why does he keep talking over and over again... and it was obvious that he had done it before.

He himself is very unnatural and even wants to pretend that nothing happened.

As a result, now he suddenly seems to be a different person, repeating old things over and over again without caring... Why can he become so shameless in a short period of time!

This made her feel ashamed and helpless, and she didn't know what to do with this person.

"I can't help it. I'm just talking to you about other things. Kikyo, you just ignored me..." Gu Mo stopped then. He looked directly into the witch's eyes calmly, spread his hands and said, "And only when I say

When this happened, you had some reaction, so naturally I can only say this."

He just tried to talk about a lot of things, probably with the idea of ​​"telling the story of the future," and kept talking about one thing after another.

From the Four Souls Jade to the elixir of immortality, to all the information about that troublesome guy Naraku...

However, these seemed meaningless, and the witch didn't react at all. In the end, Gu Mo, who had been singing a one-man show for a long time, finally reacted. After staring at her with a frown for a while, he simply changed the topic and started talking.

About the previous incident.

Then——this is the situation now.

emmmmm, but it’s quite effective...

Isn't it?

Kikyo stared at him coldly. After a while, she sighed softly and lowered her eyes slightly: "I heard what you just said... I will pay attention to it, and you don't have to be too concerned.

Too worried..." She spoke very slowly, as if every word required determination.

"As for other things, there is no need...you don't have to...do anything just because you pity me."

After saying this, the witch gently turned her head and stopped looking at him.

"This is not pitiful..." Gu Mo frowned, but was interrupted as soon as he finished speaking.

Kikyo's words seemed to be buried in the falling snow, quietly blending into the darkness, like a gentle whisper: "And I also want to thank you, during this time... I... you don't need to leave if you want to

What a burden, anyway, you already got what you wanted, right?"

He raised his eyebrows in surprise.

At this time, Kikyo hesitated for a moment, and finally she added softly: "Be nice to Ms. Zuoji..."

"..."

"..."

A brief silence.

He looked at the miko in front of him, as if he finally understood something, and suddenly laughed out loud: "Did you get your wish? I really don't know... But since you said so, I will assume that you agree with it, Kikyo.

."

What?

The witch was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at him in astonishment.

I saw him stretching out his hand towards me, as if he was seriously sending out another invitation.

"Let's go together."
