Gu Qingxi only knew that this child was called Qu Feixuan. Qu Feixuan doesn't even remember who her parents are or where she comes from. The only thing she remembered was her name. In fact, she is seven years old, but she looks like she is four or five years old due to her long-term wandering and lack of food and malnutrition.
Gu Qingxi checked Qu Feixuan's spiritual root and found that it was a mutated thunder root. Such talent made Gu Qingxi very happy. But Gu Qingxi did not immediately propose accepting a disciple.
She has always been very cautious and strict in recruiting disciples. Recruiting a disciple not only depends on a person's talent, but also his character.
Although Qu Feixuan is still young, Gu Qingxi has always believed that one part of a person's character must be innate and the other part must be shaped by nurture. Some people are just born bad, and that won't change no matter how education is shaped. She would definitely exclude such people.
This is why Gu Qingxi is very cautious in accepting disciples.
Gu Qingxi took Qu Feixuan and settled in the nearest town. She booked a room in the best inn in the town, and then stayed with Qu Feixuan.
After Qu Feixuan was washed, she put on a beautiful little skirt and braided her hair, and she turned into a cute little girl with fair skin. It's just too skinny and needs a lot of replenishing.
During this time, she taught Qu Feixuan how to read and how to behave in the world. She fed her small meals frequently, vowing to raise the child to be white and fat.
On this day, Gu Qingxi tied Qu Feixuan's hair into two buns.
Qu Feixuan curiously touched the two round bags on her head. There were two little braids a few days ago, but they seem to be different today.
"Don't pinch it. It will be very troublesome if you pinch it apart and prick it again." Gu Qingxi warned with a smile.
"Well, I won't pinch you." After hearing this, Qu Feixuan immediately put down her hand. He was afraid that he might accidentally make Gu Qingxi unhappy.
Qu Feixuan is very well-behaved and very dependent on Gu Qingxi.
No matter where Gu Qingxi goes, she follows him.
There are two beds in this room. Every night, after Gu Qingxi gave Qu Feixuan a bath and tucked her into bed, Qu Feixuan behaved obediently and covered her with the quilt carefully to sleep.
But when Gu Qingxi fell asleep, she secretly climbed out of her bed and ran to Gu Qingxi's bed. Afraid of waking up Gu Qingxi, she curled up at the foot of the bed, carefully got into bed, and then fell asleep contentedly.
In fact, Gu Qingxi noticed it when Qu Feixuan got up, but she didn't say anything because she wanted to see what the child was going to do. The result was getting into her bed.
After a few days of this, Gu Qingxi lost her temper. After giving Qu Feixuan a bath at night, she tucked her into her bed. Then she saw Qu Feixuan's beautiful big eyes looking at her.
Forget it, this child doesn't feel safe, let's sleep with him like this for now. Gu Qingxi thought in compromise.
After Gu Qingxi confirmed Qu Feixuan's character, Gu Qingxi brought up the matter of accepting a disciple.
When Qu Feixuan heard Gu Qingxi's words, she was neither surprised nor asked. Instead, she knelt down and started kowtowing loudly: "Master is on top, and I bow to my disciple."
Gu Qingxi felt pain when she heard the sound of Qu Feixuan's forehead hitting the ground, and quickly pulled her up. Why is this kid so honest? I'm afraid she doesn't even know what master means, right?
"Do you know what master means?" Gu Qingxi asked while gently rubbing Qu Feixuan's forehead, which was red from kowtow.
Qu Feixuan nodded: "I know, once I am a master, I will always be a father. I can be with the master forever." She once eavesdropped on the storytellers outside the teahouse talking about the master's disciples, so she followed the example and said . Of course, the second sentence was added selfishly by herself. She didn't want to be separated from the fairy, not even to die.
So after hearing Gu Qingxi's words, she had no time to be happy. Instead, she wanted to firmly grasp the light first. She had an intuition in her heart that as long as she became a disciple, her wish would come true.
Gu Qingxi smiled: "Yes, if you become my apprentice, it will be a lifetime thing. I will teach you everything I know."
Qu Feixuan didn't have a clear concept of the word "master" at this time. She only knew that she would no longer have to worry about being left behind, and that she would no longer have to struggle to survive alone.
She hugged Gu Qingxi's legs and didn't let go, smiling brightly. All the hardships I endured before feel worth it at this moment.
After Gu Qingxi accepted Qu Feixuan as his apprentice, he left the inn, took Qu Feixuan out of the city gate, then hugged her and flew with his sword.
Qu Feixuan's eyes widened, and she kept screaming in her heart: Master is indeed a god. Master can fly! Master is the god who came to save her!
Gu Qingxi took Qu Feixuan and flew westward. Before flying far, she stopped and slowly descended.
Qu Feixuan saw the village below clearly and nervously grasped the hem of Gu Qingxi's clothes.
It was the people from this village who caught her and wanted to throw her into the river as a sacrifice.
"Master, everyone here is bad." Qu Feixuan's body trembled a little, and her face turned pale. Obviously, he recalled the bad memories after he was caught.
Gu Qingxi touched Qu Feixuan's head and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, Master is here."
Gu Qingxi's words instantly calmed Qu Feixuan's heart.
Yes, with Master here, no one can hurt her! Master is a god! Can kill those bad guys.
Gu Qingxi's sword flew around the village, attracting the attention of the villagers, and then landed amidst the exclamations of the villagers.
"Fairy!"
"Meet the fairy!"
Many villagers ran towards the village. When they saw Gu Qingxi, they knelt down and worshiped her.
Qu Feixuan frowned at these people and nervously grabbed the hem of Gu Qingxi's clothes. Then she discovered that none of the villagers recognized her. Even after kneeling down to worship the master, they also knelt down and worshiped her, calling to meet the little fairy.
Qu Feixuan's eyes widened suddenly. Something in her world seemed to have suddenly changed.
Gu Qingxi did not ask the villagers to get up, but asked calmly: "I heard that your village throws a child into the river as a sacrifice every five years to pray for good weather?"
The villagers kneeling on the ground quietly looked at each other, and then the leader of the villagers carefully answered Gu Qingxi's words: "Hui Xianzi, there is no such thing. How could we do such a cruel thing?"
Of course, Gu Qingxi saw clearly the dispute between their eyebrows and knew that the other party was not telling the truth to him.
"Because you don't want to sacrifice your own children, you go out and steal other people's children." Gu Qingxi's voice sounded like ice. Naturally, she came here to do some research. She met Qu Feixuan while passing by and saved her. After learning about the sacrifice, she has been investigating the village for the past few days.
After finding out what happened in the village, Gu Qingxi felt sick. Human nature can be so ugly and scary sometimes.
The people in this village are ignorant, backward, indolent, stupid and vicious. They never work hard, but expect cruel sacrifices to bring them rich harvests. Because he didn't want to send his own children to be sacrificed, he thought of ways to steal children from other places. Beggars and street children are their targets.
Before dealing with these people, what she wanted to know most was who was responsible for this cruel sacrifice.
