Chapter 163: Island Immortals

I listened with relish, but Nineteen stopped, and I looked up at him, "Is this really what happened?" Why like a myth. ”

"Who knows? The story is too long, and the only person who knows is the fisherman, he can say whatever he wants, but Jade is indeed on that island, and the fisherman does know the location of the island, and his descendants have inherited this ability and become the staff of the Mo family. ”

Myths suddenly collided with reality, my heart sank, I lost the mind to listen to the story, no matter how terrible the story is, it is just a story, if it becomes a reality, every scene in it is creepy.

How can there be people on an island that has been sunk under the sea for a long time? I don't believe that there are immortals in the world, they must not be people, the story of Nineteen reflects a lot of problems, from the fisherman discovering the island to leading Qin Shi Huang to go, there must have been a long time in between, if the island sank into the sea, Qin Shi Huang would definitely not go, that can only mean that this "immortal" has been waiting for them.

He has a purpose, and the purpose is obvious, it is for that piece of jade, jade has the most direct relationship with me, as long as it is related to jade, I can't help but care, I feel more and more confused, about the source of jade.

From the very beginning, the Fang Shi found by the family said that the jade was a holy object, and it would only bring a blood curse because it was engraved with a spell, and then it was chased by all parties, led by the Mo family and the mysterious force, and even the "immortals" who lived deep at the bottom of the sea and the stone spirit born from heaven and earth wanted it, what is it?

After going through too much, the initial doubts were pressed to the bottom of my heart, and now everything resurfaces with this story, and I think that when I first met Lao Huang, he clearly said that he couldn't see the source of the jade.

As long as a thing exists, it must have a source, even if it is armor that fell from the sky, but these jades do not, they don't seem to exist in this world.

Although the myth is weird, if you think about it, you can also find some clues, if all this is purposeful, it is also likely to be manipulated, and the first thing that comes to my mind is my family.

I don't know what the family did to attract the blood curse, but it must not be a good thing, the ancestor fell into the desire brought by the jade, and brought the disaster, since he has such a great ability to know the twists and turns, then he must know the true use of the jade, and also has the ability to set up a huge bureau and keep Qin Shi Huang in the dark.

If this is a bureau, then the so-called unpredictable prophet makes sense, and as for the sudden move to sweep away the fleet, it may also be a trick.

I slowly read through Nineteen's words, and suddenly I was shocked and grabbed him: "You said that this immortal has very white skin and white hair?" ”

I haven't seen Brother God for a long time, I almost forgot about him, white hair or something, at first glance it sounds like it's about Brother God, Brother God lost his memory inexplicably, and seems to know the whole thing very well, his existence has always been a mystery, will this so-called immortal have anything to do with him?

Nineteen smiled: "You think too much, this immortal has nothing to do with your god brother." ”

I let go of my hand, I was a little disappointed, thinking about it, if it really has a relationship, Nineteen will definitely not say it, the Mo family is very jealous of Brother Shen, they know some things about Brother Shen, but they dare not reveal it to me.

"You've been thinking about it for so long, but what have you deduced?" Nineteen suddenly approached me, with an inquiring look in his eyes.

I didn't hide it, and said what I thought in my heart: "I think this is a man-made bureau, and the purpose is jade." ”

Nineteen smiled and nodded, "Yes, we used to think so too." ”

"Ever?" I wondered.

"Well, once, the story was so bizarre that even people who believed in the gods would doubt it, the most strange thing was that this immortal knew about the existence of jade, there are only two possibilities, one is that he is really an immortal, and the other is the trick of the insider, we naturally prefer the latter, but as time goes by, this possibility is getting lower and lower.

We found the fisherman's descendant, who became a member of the family staff and had been using this sense to monitor the island's location, and after nearly a thousand years of observation, we found that the island was irregular. ”

I was confused: "Not only will it rise and fall, but it will also run?" ”

Nineteen nodded: "Yes, even if it sinks at the bottom of the sea, it is not fixed in one place, its route is very chaotic, sometimes it even floats in the sea, it will float lightly when it passes through some trenches, most of the time it moves slowly against the bottom of the sea, and the time it rises is not regular, sometimes hundreds of years apart, sometimes only a few months, the same time, the time of surfacing is not exact, the longest one is one year and thirty-nine days, and the shortest one is only seven hours and twelve minutes."

The Si family has been a staff member for generations, and it is the closest to the core of the Mo family's staff, of course, they are still hiding outside and doing ordinary work, just contacting us every other month to report the movement of the floating island, but this data is useless except to let us know the location of the island, because its movement is completely random.

However, we also found something else, which is that there will be some anomalies before the island floats, and based on these facts, we speculate that the island will probably be completely floating in the next year or two, and when it does, it will be the time for our next mission.

There is only one such opportunity, and the last time it fully floated was more than 60 years ago, and it only took 30 hours to sink to the bottom of the sea, and if we don't take this opportunity, you should know what the outcome will be. ”

My heart tightened, my breathing became less smooth, I had a blood curse in my body, and I could live for more than twenty years at most, and if the next ascent exceeded this limit, I would have no chance.

Only when death is really in front of me will I know what it feels like, and I suddenly feel that it doesn't matter if I hold my breath or anything like that, I really want to live.

"This is likely to be the last chance, we don't know how long it will float, if it's a few months, it's good, but according to past data, three to five days is the most likely, if it sinks in a few hours, we can only resign ourselves to fate, whether we can successfully get the jade or not, we don't want anyone to die, so you have to practice holding your breath, even if the island suddenly sinks, you can have a little more life.

As I said, we organized an expedition a thousand years ago, but it failed, and we, like you, thought it was a man-made scheme, and when we got to the island, we found out that it was not the case, and that there was a man-made dwelling hidden in the island, that is, that person actually lived on the island. ”

This news is so shocking that I can't help but cry out, all the previous assumptions have been overturned, since it is not man-made, it means that the "immortal" really wants jade.

No, jade doesn't matter anymore, this immortal itself is the point, the island can't have air when it sinks to the bottom of the sea, what the hell is he? Could it be that there really are immortals in the world?

The story suddenly became bizarre, my expression was stiff and exaggerated, and Nineteen couldn't help but laugh: "You've heard the story of A a long time ago, even alien creatures can accept it, but can't it be on Earth?" ”

"It's different."

I blurted out that A's story is indeed bizarre, but after knowing that it came from outer space, I didn't find it so difficult to accept, after all, it was a realm that humans couldn't explore, but the earth was different, and suddenly told me that there were indeed immortals on the earth, and this psychological impact was very different.

"What's in there? Have you seen the immortal? I asked.

Nineteen shook his head: "We didn't see the immortal, or we didn't see his body, it was more like a mausoleum, we suspect that the immortal Qin Shi Huang saw may not be real, but there is no basis, that mission went to eight people, and only one came back in the end, but unfortunately he was seriously frightened, his memory is very disordered, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false things." ”

"How do you ...... like this?"

I held my breath, my voice was muffled, and I didn't know what to say at all, even the Mo family with such a strong psychological quality was scared like this, just with my guts, it was possible to be directly stunned.

"Shock is one thing, long breath-holding is also the reason, do you know why only he survived? Because of the sudden sinking of the floating island, he held his breath and swam for more than 20 minutes, the island sank deeply, and the loss of his memory came more from the damage to his brain caused by the water pressure. ”

My heart was so heavy that I panicked, like being thrown into the deep sea, I really felt the suffocation of being squeezed, and the retreat in my heart was even louder, I really shouldn't have listened to this.

"You think twenty minutes is a long time, but that's certainly not the limit of human beings, because no one will spend their whole life trying to see where the limit is, the fact is that he survived, and the incompetent died there."

This is very true, and it is also cruel, I know that no matter how much I practice, I will not be able to hold my breath and swim for twenty minutes, so my end is destined to die?

Nineteen patted me on the shoulder: "Don't be so discouraged, it's not the same now as it was a thousand years ago, we have a lot more equipment, and it's always better than before." ”

My mind is no longer on this, I desperately want to know what's inside, and now that it's been another thousand years, I'm afraid that the situation is more complicated, and I'm already prone to think of something terrifying, and if this continues, the next VR experience will only be worse.

The fairy with the lower body hidden in the seaweed, like the mermaid in Norse mythology, lures adventurers with a beautiful song and then gnaws them into dry bones, this so-called fairy is also for jade, he uses a fisherman as bait, attracts an emperor, and finally abandons them.

The ending of the story is too much like a myth, he originally wanted to drown everything, why did these two people survive, as if they deliberately wanted to let this matter be passed on through the ages, who is he and what is his purpose?

My head was dizzy, and I thrashed it a few times, if only this were really a myth.
