Chapter 48: The Price of Immortality
"Oh, boy, do you know how old I am? How dare you call me sister. Zhuge Guo looked at Long Fengyang with an embarrassed look, and stared at Long Fengyang with a smile on his face.
"I'm sorry Mr. Zhuge , I was just a quick talker just now, I don't think you should mind. Looking at Zhuge Guo's expression, Long Fengyang felt that it was the expression of the big bad wolf looking at Little Red Riding Hood.
"Teacher...... I don't know what you're talking about, but don't you still have something to ask us to help with?" Yue Shiqi, who had been ignored on the sidelines, saw that Zhuge Guo's eyes were full of interest when she looked at Long Fengyang, and her heart suddenly became calm. In her cognition, she has to "protect" her roommate.
"Yo yo, Yue Shiqi, don't worry, I won't rob your man. Especially with such a flowery man, I am not interested. Seeing that Yue Shiqi actually had some intention of defending Long Fengyang, Zhuge Guo's tone also became playful for a while. But she was just joking with Yue Shiqi, and after a slight pause, Zhuge Guo then said to Long Fengyang: "Your name is Long Fengyang, right, how about it?
"What?" Long Fengyang and Yue Shiqi said two words in unison after hearing Zhuge Guo's words, but Yue Shiqi's tone was clearly coquettish with a taste of sophistry, while Long Fengyang screamed directly in surprise.
"Don't get so excited, you and I are of the same race. And I'm a little older than you, so it's not too much for you to call her a sister. Seeing that Long Fengyang was so surprised, Zhuge Guo also smiled: "And in the future, you and I will need to take care of each other in this strange place, so that we will have a more or less suitable identity to call together in the future." And we can find our way home together. ”
"No, I mean, I think you're seventeen or eighteen. You have to know that I used to be ......" Saying that, Long Fengyang quietly made a two-and-four gesture with his left hand to show Zhuge Guo: "Old, I feel that I am a little older than you." ”
"Hehe, little brat. I've been here for hundreds of years, and you're taking advantage of me more than my age. Seeing that Long Fengyang secretly said that he was twenty-four years old, Zhuge Guo plugged in the computer and laughed.
"You ......" Hearing Zhuge Guo's words, Long Fengyang didn't believe it at first, but when he thought that in his own world, Zhuge Guo lived thousands of years earlier than himself, he didn't know how to justify it for a while.
"Wow, teacher, how old did you say?" Hearing Zhuge Guo say that he was hundreds of years old, Yue Shiqi on the side couldn't calm down anymore, and hurriedly ran to Zhuge Guo's side and asked in surprise: "Then teacher, how do you maintain it? Why do you look so young, is it that you use some heaven and earth treasure." "When it comes to beauty, no woman will refuse, even a girl with a cold personality like Yue Shiqi can't avoid this mundane thing.
"Hehe, little girl, I'm four hundred and sixty-three years old, to be exact. Hearing Yue Shiqi's question, if it was usually Zhuge Guo, he would definitely not mention a word, but today he met a relative who is also from the earth, and Yue Shiqi and him obviously have an unusual relationship, so she didn't hide it anymore, and generously told her secret: "Actually, what I used is the secret method that has always been used - the rejuvenation technique, in fact, if you ask Long Fengyang, he should have heard of it." When I was in my hometown, I used the rejuvenation technique at the age of eighteen because of my cultivation, so I still have this appearance. ”
"Did you practice when you were in your hometown?Is the legend true?" Hearing Zhuge Guo explain his appearance to Yue Shiqi, Long Fengyang on the side suddenly grabbed a point and hurriedly asked.
"Well, back then, when I realized the Great Dao, I was about to lift the Xia to ascend, but after the ascension, I arrived at this place inexplicably, and my cultivation was seriously suppressed. Zhuge Guo didn't hide anything that was originally a private secret, because she believed that the two people present would keep it secret for her: "Originally, my cultivation in the Ascension Realm was definitely comparable to the tenth order in this place, but I don't know why my cultivation has been suppressed in the Transformation God Realm since I arrived here, which is equivalent to the middle of the eighth order in this world, and I have tried various methods in the past four hundred years without any progress." ”
"Well, it may be that the original cultivation method doesn't fit well with this world. But sister, you and I heard that we have a spell that can change your appearance, can you teach me?" Hearing that Zhuge Guo had really cultivated the art of cultivating immortals, Long Fengyang immediately became excited. He had seen in the novel that when he had reached a certain stage of cultivation, he had a way to change his appearance, and for this, he was ready to realize that he would rather be shameless and stalker than get his hands on this exercise.
"Well, yes, yes, but it's just a high-level illusion, and it will change back after a while. And it's easy for people who understand this to see. Hearing that Long Fengyang actually wanted to change his appearance, Zhuge Guo glanced at him and understood his thoughts: "But you can come to me to learn in the future, and I can teach you some skills and the knowledge of the Bagua Array." After all, you call me sister, and you still have to give some gifts for the meeting. ”
"Well, I just want to change my appearance now, after all, ......" Hearing that there was no exercise that could change his appearance, Long Fengyang's enthusiasm was half extinguished in an instant, but when he was about to say no, Yue Shiqi on the side forcibly pulled him behind him and said for him: "Okay, then I will thank Teacher Zhuge for Fengyang." ”
"Why are you ......" Seeing that Yue Shiqi actually agreed for herself, Long Fengyang, who was pulled behind him, suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly leaned into Yue Shiqi's ear and asked softly, but before he finished asking, Yue Shiqi explained to him in a whisper: "Don't be in the blessing and don't know the blessing, although Teacher Zhuge is only the eighth order, but I have heard others say that Teacher Zhuge once relied on the formation to forcibly negotiate with seven ninth-order powerhouses for two days, and finally defeated three ninth-order powerhouses and left." Don't be fooled by such a teacher. ”
"Hehe, brother, you see how good your brother and sister are to you, if you refuse me like this, it will hurt the hearts of two people at the same time. Seeing that Yue Shiqi actually interfered in the affairs of herself and Long Fengyang on her behalf, Zhuge Guo was also not angry, and even joked at the two of them.
And Long Fengyang didn't say anything after listening to the words of the two girls, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, it's also my honor that I can learn from my sister, but I still have one more thing I want to ask my sister." ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”
"That's it, sister, how can you live at such an old age?" Although he saw that Zhuge Guo was very generous and asked himself, Long Fengyang was still very careful when he asked.
"Hehe, it's actually nothing. Hearing Long Fengyang's question, Zhuge Guo was obviously sad, and after smiling reluctantly, he planned to tell Long Fengyang the whole story: "Actually, when I was still at home, my cultivation was only mediocre. But one day, my father gave me a tip out of the blue, and at the same time, he told me that this tip could help me in my cultivation and save my life when it was important. ”
Speaking of this, Zhuge Guo's eyes also reddened slightly: "And after that, my father handed me the big town in front of you, the Seven Star Life-Extending Light Array, and I have been able to survive so far because of this formation." ”
Seeing that Zhuge Guo actually said that the Seven Stars Life Continuation Light Array, Long Fengyang didn't look at the light array beside him, but when he heard that Zhuge Guo was living on this light array, he asked puzzledly: "Sister, you said that this light array can really continue life, then why did Wuhou ...... back then?"
"You only know one thing but you don't know the other, this lamp array does have the effect of prolonging life, but it needs to use a person's hard work as lamp oil to light the main lamp. There is no real sense of immortality, it's just exchanging one life for another. As she spoke, Zhuge Guo unconsciously shed tears, but she raised her head high, not wanting the tears to overflow her eyes.
Zhuge Guo didn't continue to speak, in fact, Long Fengyang didn't need her to say any more, and he knew whose efforts were to help Zhuge Guo light the main lamp. But what could he comfort now? All he could do was be to be silent with her.
"Okay, let's not talk about these sad things. It didn't take long for Zhuge Guo, who had been crying silently, to suddenly wipe away the tears in his eyes and put on a smile again, saying, "I'll talk to the dean when I go back and talk about the two of you to be tutored by me alone." In the future, you will go to class in the morning, and come to me in the afternoon. Come, brother, you can help me move these two things to the formation classroom. I still have some things that I won't take you over, and Yue Shiqi should know where the classroom is. ”
"Ah, sister, is she ...... that Yue Shiqi" Hearing that Zhuge Guo even Yue Shiqi had to be tutored alone, Long Fengyang only felt that she had misunderstood the relationship between herself and Yue Shiqi, but Yue Shiqi was next to him and he couldn't say it out loud, so he had to crawl into Zhuge Guo's ear before whispering: "Sister, Yue Shiqi is just my roommate, let her know that our affairs are not good." ”
"Seal, in fact, I have heard your story, and I also helped deal with the two Night Elves you entrusted to the dean before. If I'm right, you're in a different situation than me, but both you now and you have been indebted to the girl in front of you, and you are always responsible. Hearing that Long Fengyang actually had this kind of thought, Zhuge Guo glared at him fiercely before explaining in a low voice.
"I didn't really do anything. I am innocent. ”
"Stinky boy, did you really do nothing? What did you do last night, I think you know better than I do. Remember, since you have changed the fate of other people, you should be aware of it. ”
"But my sister ......"
"Well, that's all there is to say, it's useless to say more. Remember, as a descendant of China, you should have the appearance of a descendant of China. Don't let my sister look down on you. After speaking, Zhuge Guo turned around and walked out the door.
"Sister, I've been wronged. ”
