Chapter 154 Encountering Immortals?

   All the young men and women were noncommittal, or should be said to be a little absent-minded.

   They had different expressions, and they didn't know what they were thinking about. In short, they didn't listen to the words of the old village chief at all.

  Penglai…

For them, this name is naturally a familiar term, but regardless of the place name in reality, in the current situation, this word obviously refers to the mythical overseas immortal mountain, "Shan Hai Jing·Hai Nei Bei Jing" " and "Historical Records Fengchan Shu" have recorded that concept.

   They didn’t learn the knowledge and immediately remembered the corresponding scriptures and history, but the thoughts and thoughts that emerged in their hearts all pointed to the same concept.

   But because of this, they all looked weird.

   "Penglai Island, doesn't that mean that Qin Shihuang sent Xu Fu here to seek immortality?" A girl laughed dryly and said in a low voice.

"There used to be such a thing... that is the origin of the ancestors of most people in our village." The old village chief heard the words and said slowly, Qin Shi Huang once sent Xu Fu and three thousand boys and girls to find Penglai , in order to find the way of immortality, this is true, and the real Penglai Island has indeed participated in this part of history.

   And the old village chief said so, but the group on the opposite side didn't know what to say.

They just didn't believe it, that's why they said the last sentence in a mocking tone to express their doubts. As a result, the old man admitted it seriously, and even said that not only Penglai, but also many people in the village were originally from the village. Descendants of the fleet...

  The old man is really thick-skinned and his acting skills are really good...

   They thought so subconsciously, and could only try to explain it with such thoughts.

Although this island is really secluded and secluded from the world, it is so beautiful that it is not like the atmosphere of the world. On the way, they also saw the magical landscape. The mountains are majestic, majestic and high, the canyons are steaming, and the clouds are swallowing clouds. , can be described as magnificent and magical, like a fantasy, which is thrilling.

Many times they themselves felt that they were going to be suffocated by beauty, and many times they felt from the bottom of their hearts that this was a fairyland. When Xianshan...

  ——hahahahaha, how is this possible?

  ——It is impossible for a normal person to believe it!

Their past worldview and rationality made them subconsciously disbelieve this kind of rhetoric. They even looked around suspiciously, looking for cameras that might exist in the dark or hidden studio staff, and wanted to use their own logic. Let's try to explain the current situation.

   is weird and absurd, but compared to what they think is absolutely impossible, they still subconsciously want to seek some possible explanations that are closer to reality...

  Although the latter is also untenable, and there are still many suspicious points, but at least it can make them feel a lot better.

"Make a decision as soon as possible, outsiders. If you want to stay, you don't need to do anything. You can just live in the village. But if you want to leave here, you need to find a fairy..." The old village chief warned them repeatedly before they walked away.

   But all the college students responded with mixed feelings, and then said that they and others wanted to visit the village.

This is of course no problem. The old village chief asked them to look around at will, and he didn't say anything serious about the precautions. Where and where are the restricted areas, it seems that outsiders can also walk around the village at will... This is somewhat reassuring Some, at least not like the classic development of those terrifying and suspenseful plots.

The children continued to run away, and the old village chief also walked towards a house not far away with his hands behind his back. The sweaty man said something, and the latter answered loudly while wiping the sweat from his forehead.

  The college students turned their gazes back and walked along the wide road formed by the continuous houses on both sides. They silently surveyed this strange village carefully.

   "It doesn't always feel right..."

   "Me too, seems to have overlooked something..."

   "What the old man said just now, I always find it weird..."

As they walked, they talked in a low voice, exchanging their feelings and opinions about the conversation with the old village chief just now, and their feelings were similar, but they felt strange. It seemed that the whole conversation was full of strangeness. I feel it, but after thinking about it carefully, I can't think of where there is a problem.

   In the midst of such discussions, they are also gaining a deeper understanding of and observing this strange village that is hard to explain no matter how you look at it—

   Accompanied by the sound of clucking, it was a few old hens crowing in the fence next to a room.

   On the flat dirt road ahead, the group of children were chasing and running after each other, followed by several dogs, barking and carrying a faint layer of smoke.

   A few adults were almost hit and sternly scolded the children, who were not afraid, turned around and ran away, not listening to the adults at all.

From a distance, it looks like an ink painting in the style of an ancient village, but when it gets closer, the picture becomes alive. Every detail is impeccable and perfect, and everyone has their own identity. Each has a demeanor and a plot... If this is a picture scroll, then they have traveled through the world in the picture.

   "What a dedicated program team, so attention to detail, I don't know where the sets and actors came from..."

   A boy tried his best to say something with a smile, but his tone was very low, and seeing his companions silent, his voice gradually became smaller, and finally he was silent.

  “…”

  “…”

In such a slightly depressing and silent atmosphere, the only thing that can make people feel comforted is that the sun is shining. The village under the sun is also full of enthusiasm. The adults are busy with their own affairs, and the children are also full of energy. ... Although it still made them feel weird, it was just abrupt, inconsistent and out of place in the overall style.

  If you ignore the difference in the overall style of painting, then it is a paradise under the sun, without any gloomy feeling.

Therefore, they are more psychologically contradictory at this moment than they are already trembling, and they can even have enough time to fight. Reason and doubt are constantly entangled in their minds. ”, unwilling to accept everything in front of him at once.

   "Hey! Look over there! Look!!"

   The sound of surprise sounded, as if he was very emotional. Awei, the young man with glasses, stretched out his hand and pointed to the front, and at the same time pulled the people around him violently, his eyes widened.

Everyone followed the sound and found that the direction he pointed was the angle between the two houses. There was also a tall and green pine tree, which was a good place to shade and enjoy the shade... But other than that Other than that, there was nothing, and they looked at Awei with some doubts.

   "Staff! Absolutely!! I just saw the staff! He was there just now and immediately hid when I saw him!"

  The young man with glasses ran over eagerly, shouting loudly, attracting strange eyes from the nearby villagers, but he didn't care about such a thing, he just instinctively felt that the big stone in his heart fell, and he even breathed a long sigh of relief.

   Sure enough! He knew there was no such thing as absurd!

  But it was his sharp-eyed who finally discovered the flaw! !

   Holding such excitement and excitement, as if he was eager to prove something, the young man with glasses quickly rushed into the corner between the houses, turned the corner and shouted: "Caught you!!"

"what?"

A middle-aged man wearing a lapel shirt that seems to be popular in the 1960s is squatting in front of the firewood stack at the back of the house, reaching out and pulling out a piece of firewood. The young man with glasses pointed at his glasses excitedly, and then looked at the other people who rushed in.

  …………

   After a while.

  In the house, a group of people were sitting or standing, looking at the middle-aged man opposite with a very wonderful expression.

"What? You said that you were an outsider before and settled down on this island recently?" Awei, a young man with glasses, said this sentence almost gnashing his teeth. He didn't know why he was so angry that he was arrested. Stay still stubborn, or angry that the other party's words don't seem to have any loopholes.

   It seems that the previous children also said that some people have stayed before...

"Yeah, I don't know what staff you are talking about, but I have lived on this island for more than half a year..." The middle-aged man said with a smile, his expression was very calm, and he didn't care about the younger generation reckless.

   "This kind of excuse is too unreasonable... How can a normal person be so casual..." The spectacled youth gritted his teeth and wanted to deny this statement, so he didn't believe this kind of thing.

"It was also an accident that I came to the island, but at that time I had nothing to worry about..." The middle-aged man smiled, and there was a look of nostalgia and sadness in his eyes. Although he didn't say it explicitly, it was obvious to people A feeling that he has a story.

   After a short silence, some of the crowd whispered: "It's not fake..."

"Uncle, can you tell us directly where this place is?" The sweet-looking cute girl stepped forward and asked earnestly. Although the sense of fear gradually faded as they explored the village, the unease in their hearts was in the gradually increase.

   "This is Penglai Island..."

   The middle-aged man answered naturally.

   "Uncle, you don't have to... We really don't want to play this kind of game." The cute girl seemed very helpless, and so did the others.

   "Penglai Island, it's amazing..."

   "Then there really is a secret of immortality here?"

   "What's more, didn't you listen to them? Even the immortals came out..."

In the face of a few young people making jokes, the middle-aged man also sighed: "There are indeed immortals on this island, and there is indeed an art of immortality, you don't even need to seek it out, just live on this island. , it is not hopeless to live to be two hundred years old, if you can practice immortality, you can even... but that requires talent."

   These are all solid information, but at such a time, the more serious you are talking about this kind of thing, the more counterproductive it will be.

  “…”

  “…”

   A moment of silence.

   At this moment, there was a loud noise outside, and the middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, his face showing joy: "The immortal has come to the village..."

The young men and women on the opposite side were also stunned for a moment, and then the young man with glasses slammed his palm and turned decisively: "Let's go and see... Didn't they say that they can go out if they find that immortal Luo Shizi? Let's not get caught up in this time. The rhythm of the opposite side, no matter what, we just say our requirements directly!"

   The group looked at each other in dismay, and suddenly felt a sudden realization.

They hurriedly filed out, but they didn't think that if they followed their logic, they could leave the village directly now. in this atmosphere.

   It is precisely because of this that they subconsciously want to get rid of this atmosphere, because they have gradually changed from fear to anxiety, anxiety, and anxiety without realizing it.

   After a while.

   They found that the so-called "immortal" was exactly as they imagined——

It was a young man wearing a cyan robe. He looked very simple and stable. To put it nicely, it would be a return to the basics. To put it badly, it meant that there was no immortality at all. matter.

   And the shrine maiden next to him...

  Although she is also a great beauty with great temperament, it even makes people feel a little familiar, but...isn't this nonsense! Totally out of place!

They felt that they were very particular about authenticity at the beginning, and there were no flaws from the village to the villagers, but since the staff was exposed, the situation has changed sharply. Fortunately, there is only a witch now, and the opposite is not stupid enough to pull any magic Teacher come.

It was also almost at this moment that the balance in everyone's heart was tilted. They were unwilling to give up their "common sense", and at this moment they decided that this was a trick show... I don't care about anything else, Anyway, they just feel that there is only such an explanation.

   "Are you sure you want to leave?"

   asked the young man in a cyan robe calmly, surrounded by a few children pulling his sleeves, jokingly circling around him.

   "According to the island's traditions, if you have a chance to meet Penglai, and you are not a wicked person, then you can land on the island or stay..."

   "It's alright, alright!" Awei, a young man with glasses, interrupted impatiently, "We won't eat this set, we're leaving now, immediately, stop talking nonsense!"

   "Also, it's wise to make a decision as soon as possible."

The young man in the cyan robe looked at their expressions, nodded, and waved his sleeves directly, pointing his finger at the road when they came: "Go straight out from here, keep walking along the road, you can leave, From this moment on the island will no longer stop you for protection."

  “…”

  “…”

   Those young men and women stayed for a while, that's all? Tell yourself and others to leave the same way?

   What a fool this is, do you still need to tell us about this kind of thing? !

But they also suddenly realized that they and others did not lose their personal freedom. Just like how they came here, the same is true for leaving. In fact, there is no need to say anything at all... It can only be said that the atmosphere in this village is too weird , from the very beginning they were unknowingly affected.

   "Let's go, leave here first..." Awei gritted his teeth.

   "Go back first..."

   "Yes yes yes, let's go back first..."

   "Oops, we didn't even look at the time, it's been out for so long..."

  Others also nodded, as if waking up from a dream, and started talking. And some of them suddenly woke up, and it reminded them of the things they left behind. When they saw that they had been waiting for others to come out for several hours, they all reacted immediately.

   It has been nearly three hours before you know it. Maybe the people on the boat are in a hurry. They have no signal on the island, so they can only run back quickly.

   At the same time, I finally remembered how deep they went all the way, and I couldn't help but secretly complained in my heart. It took so much time when I came here, and now it's the same road to go back...

   Watching the group of people hurriedly turned and ran, the young man watched this scene calmly.

   "Are you really going to keep them?" the witch next to her asked indifferently.

"Looking at their choices, I didn't lie. This is the rules and traditions of the island. If you have the chance to see Penglai, you should have the opportunity to choose this way. I shouldn't help them decide..." Gu Mo spread his hands. Looking at the backs of the group of college students leaving, his tone was still somewhat regretful.

   "But if they can stay, it's actually pretty good... But it seems that my village is not very competitive in terms of advertising."

   As the voice fell, the bright village under the sun suddenly came to a standstill.

The stretches of houses built along the lake seem to lose their disguise in an instant, and the buildings show their old and dilapidated appearance. Some are half-collapsed, and some are only the foundation. The wood smells of decay, and the walls and doors and windows are climbing. full of moss...

   The village that was so alive just now returned to its original shape, not to mention the villagers who came and went, and even the chickens and ducks no longer existed, like a phantom light smoke.

   Just like the cyan robe on his body, it blurred for a moment and then returned to the original modern casual attire.

"Unexpectedly, people in this era probably won't like this way of life..." Kikyo said softly, she knew how convenient the life of people in this era was, so she naturally knew better that returning them to the primitive stage of the past is Unrealistic.

   From frugality to extravagance is easy, from extravagance to frugality is difficult.

"There's no way, I can only do this level at present. If I want to simulate a modern town, I don't know how many details need to be carved. My current illusion is far from that level, and it can be relatively smooth and natural. The maintenance of the village just now is very good."

Gu Mo smiled casually and blinked at the witch: "But if they don't want to, they don't want to, at least they can leak some rumors through their news, such a novel and modern version of Peach Blossom Spring, maybe there will be a willingness. People who accept the primitive way of life are looking for them."

   is treated as a pre-advertising campaign.

  …………

  …

   on the other side.

   The group returned to the beach out of breath, and returned here safely, feeling at ease.

However, they found that the fishing boat that was directly visible from the beach was no longer docked on the sea, and the sea was empty and white with nothing. emerge.

   "Maybe it's too foggy right now, let's cross over to take a look..."

Someone suggested this and thought it should be the case. Although they did not listen to the advice, but after a few hours, there was no need for the fishing boat to leave them behind, so it was very likely that the sea was too foggy and the fishing boat was far from the beach. The distance here makes it just obscured by the fog.

   Everyone said yes, and hurriedly pushed the two small boats, paddling and leaning over there. They had rowed over like this before.

However, they shouted while rowing out, but there was no response. The white mist filled the sea, like a silent world, which made everyone's scalp numb and their hearts sink bit by bit... But it was almost there. The moment before someone could not bear the pressure, it was as if the boat had passed through something—

   In front of me, the fog suddenly dissipated, revealing a sea night sky with bright stars.

   All the young men and women froze and opened their mouths.

   They even wondered if they and others were dreaming.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or not. At this moment, a piercing roar of the propeller approached quickly, the beam of the searchlight fell from the sky, swept over the sea, and quickly settled on their boat, and the rescue helicopter above hovered. in the original location.

   "I found it! I found it! It's here, let the ship come over!"

   Someone shouted excitedly above.

  …………

   Ten minutes later.

Everyone was picked up on the rescue boat that came over. They watched the battle with dazed expressions, and the medical staff in white coats stepped forward to check their conditions and found that they were all healthy. And when he was clean, he seemed even more surprised than them.

   "I'm so lucky, fortunately someone here on our side heard your cry for help, otherwise I'd have missed it..."

The person in charge of the    rescue team let out a long sigh of relief, and then looked at these missing persons with puzzled eyes, scanning up and down many times.

   "But we have searched this sea area many times... Where did you go, and how did you survive the nine days of disappearance?"

   Then, he found that the pair on the opposite side was even more puzzled than himself.

  “…”

  “…”

   "We... disappeared for nine days?" A girl said incredulously, and at the same time subconsciously looked at the sea in the dark night, the sea there was open, and there were no islands at all.

   Everyone was stunned, and a series of previous events appeared in their minds.

   Fairy...

  Penglai Island…

   The old village chief who told himself and others to make a decision as soon as possible...

   A middle-aged man who said that he had just come to settle on the island not long ago, but was wearing clothes from the 1960s and 1970s...
