As time goes by, children and teenagers who went to sea gradually returned.
There is only one island within a thousand miles nearby, and there is only one goal for returning home.
Xu Guangling was originally worried that some children would be lost. After all, among those who went to sea, the youngest was only five or six years old! At that time on earth, children of this age would only go to kindergarten, and only a very small number would be able to do so.
In elementary school!
But here, they have been forced to take on adult responsibilities.
However, his worries were misplaced. At noon on the second day after he returned, a tall pillar was raised on the island, dozens of meters high, and at the top of the pillar, colorful flags were fluttering.
In this environment with excellent visibility, at the speed of those children rowing the boat, as long as they are not blind, they can see the signs.
The flag was raised on the island to inform them that they could and must return.
Whether you find something or not.
Why are only children and teenagers going to sea? The maximum is no more than eighteen years old, that is, two nine-year-olds?
Xu Guangling doesn’t know the truth yet.
But in fact, you can guess that either adults will not be able to come back when they go to sea, or they will suffer heavy losses, which is relatively small; or only these children and teenagers can gain something by going to sea.
Basically, it is nothing more than these two reasons.
This time, Xu Guangling did not monitor the harvest on the island.
He completely put away his spiritual senses and truly acted like an ordinary child. He should eat, sleep, and communicate with his friends normally.
The children around his house also came back. They all shed layers of skin and were a little miserable from the sun. But fortunately, they were all back. Then they exchanged information. Some were happy, some were excited, and some were frustrated.
and disappointment.
If there is no gain, there will be no punishment.
And judging from the situation on the entire island, most of the people who went to sea had no harvest, but Xu Guangling's small, loose group had a slightly higher harvest.
Those who gain something will be rewarded.
One of the rewards is clothes, brand new and a complete set, which is actually a set of shorts and a singlet, but at least three sets per person.
The second reward is medicine, light red pills. For this, you first ask how many people are in the family, and how many pills are given to them.
The third reward is the quota. To be eligible to leave here, any child who catches orange or above flowers can go outside.
Xu Guangling received the reward alone without being together with the other children. In addition to these three items, his reward even included two vegetables, um, like Chinese cabbage!
This family of three is full of excitement and joy from now on.
Two vegetables are probably only enough for one meal, but of course it is not a meal. They only eat one leaf for one meal! Stewed with sea fish, the room is filled with an unprecedented taste. If only through the expressions of the two adults
Come and observe, this is definitely more delicious than the Queen Mother’s peach feast.
The light red pill can greatly replenish vitality. Xu Guangling unexpectedly discovered that its effect is quite good!
Even if you are outside, this is probably a very good potion. If it is not done properly, it will even be quite precious. At least, ordinary people should not be able to enjoy it. Unless the level of spiritual energy in this world is very high.
With this, Xu Guangling felt relieved.
If a person takes one pill and lives to fifty years old, it won't be a big problem.
Xu Guangling did not do anything, such as improving the pills or taking any other conditioning measures.
The situation in this sea area is really unclear. Any additional actions are risky and may bring inexplicable disaster to the two adults. It is really unnecessary.
So, that's it.
In this matter, Xu Guangling's behavior was the same inside and out, no different from other ordinary children!
The next day after taking the pills, the two adults' mental and physical conditions were obviously much better than before, and their joy, excitement and pride still continued, and it is estimated that they will last for a long time.
When it came to the fact that their children were about to leave, the two adults showed no signs of worry.
Some are just excited.
"Daddy, Mom, I'm leaving here to go outside, aren't you worried?" Xu Chunzhen asked.
"Don't worry, don't worry!" His mother smiled.
"Stone!" His father said earnestly, "That's how people live outside!"
Xu Guangling was stunned when he heard this.
If you weren't a completely ordinary person, I would have thought you were a criminal who was exiled from outside. However, Xu Guangling estimated that his great-grandfather or great-great-grandfather in this life should be a criminal. Anyway, they are not too far apart.
Long.
Judging from the information previously obtained in the deep sea, there are actually no real indigenous people on the island.
This was originally a dead island with no human habitation.
Therefore, all the people on the island now, with their distant or recent ancestors, are all "sinners".
Soon, the day to leave came.
More than a hundred people left with Xu Guangling.
When boarding the ship, Xu Guangling turned around and saw that his parents in this life were among the farewell crowd. Like other parents, they did not dare to shout, but they kept waving their hands.
As the soldiers finally boarded the ship, the ship set sail.
The sea was always calm, and there were no setbacks during the voyage. However, it was not until the ship docked again and completely came to land from the sea that Xu Guangling truly felt at ease.
He also found that the soldiers also breathed a huge sigh of relief, as if they had escaped from death.
At the end of the sea is a desert, and at the end of the desert, a small amount of grass and shrubs appear one after another.
On Earth, this environment is called the Gobi.
In the evening of this day, a small town appeared in the vast desert.
And all the way to this point, the vitality and spiritual energy between heaven and earth have grown from scratch, from existence to prosperity, and the index has climbed to a level of 2.5!
In Xu Guangling's definition, this can already be regarded as a "spiritual land", and it is a pretty good spiritual land.
Along the way, although the journey was tiring, the spirit of the soldiers became better and better because they began to practice.
Children like Xu Guangling who came from the island naturally didn't know what cultivation was, but their spirits were also getting better, and even improved even more than those of the soldiers! Even Xu Guangling was surprised by this.
Coming from the land of extraordinary spirits to the normal environment of heaven and earth, these children are like dry sponges thrown into the water. Under the action of instinct, they almost crazily absorb the energy of the spirit!
Seeing this situation, Xu Guangling probably knew why these children were taken thousands of miles away.
I'm sorry, it's still a rare item.
Well, if the judgment is correct, it may not be a popular item, but someone will definitely claim it.
It was in this small town that they settled down.
For those children, everything was new from the moment they boarded the ship. When they left the sea and entered the desert, and then from the desert to the Gobi, seeing those plants was like arriving in paradise.
In a sense, the outside is indeed heaven!
On the first day of living in the small town, for the first dinner, they had a meal they had never eaten before.
Take an ancient human who drank blood from raw materials to the dining table on earth in the 21st century, and let him eat clean rice, steamed buns, soft and sweet braised pork, egg custard, various vegetables, and
How does it feel to have incredibly delicious soup?
That's how these children felt when they left the island.
But everyone is controlled and cannot eat too much.
If there is no control, it is estimated that most children will be strangled to death.
"People live their lives outside!"
This is indeed true.
The island and the outside are indeed two worlds.
At least, for these children, even if they are beaten to death, they probably don't want to go back to that island again.
Everything outside, really everything, is good.
It’s a thousand times or ten thousand times better than on the island!
Feeling the psychological fluctuations of those children, Xu Guangling sighed slightly.
If the island is wild.
Then here is "civilization".
In ancient China, a Taoist named Ge Hong wrote a book called "The Legend of Immortals", which included the deeds of ninety-two immortals in ancient legends.
This book is also included in the Taoist canon of course.
The first paragraph at the beginning of this book reads:
"Whoever Guangchengzi... whoever attains my way will be an emperor at the top; whoever enters my way will be a king at the bottom. I will go to your homeland of nowhere, enter the gate of infinity, wander in the wilderness of infinity, and shine with the sun and moon
, as usual with heaven and earth, everyone will die, but I will remain alone."
Everyone will die, but I will survive alone.
This story actually expresses "immortality", which is what ancient practitioners pursued most.
Ge Hong listed this story as the first one and the beginning of the book. Judging from this arrangement alone, he can be regarded as a quite "righteous man". At least, he is not comparable to those confused and confused people in Taoism.
.
But if he is brought to the island to live for ten years.
Then put it in this outside room.
I wonder if he will list this story as the beginning of this book.
He may start to think about this question:
If there is only "immortal life" but no "civilization", what kind of situation will the monks be living in?
