"No, no, no, Ah Xuan doesn't want anyone else to carry him except me!" Gu Zhizhou waved his hands repeatedly, and finally released two gray-brown rabbits: "They are desert rabbits, they are not afraid of the environment here, Ah Da Ah Er! I'm begging you!"
The two rabbits immediately grew in size as soon as they landed on the ground. Except for Gu Zhizhou who was riding Ah Xuan, the others all got on the rabbits and walked purposefully forward in the scorching desert.
"Axuan is a civet cat?" Tao Tao sat on the back of the desert rabbit and looked at the black cat Axuan with some curiosity.
In Peach Blossom Island, there are also junior brothers and sisters who, in order to improve their strength, ask fellow Taoists who are good at controlling beasts to set up a matchmaking relationship with them and contract with their natal spiritual beasts.
Most of the people they contract are ligers, tigers, eagles and other raptors, which can either take them to escape or stand in front of them for protection.
Generally, spiritual animals such as civet cats are regarded as spiritual pets or mascots, and are said to bring good luck.
Tao Tao didn't really believe these unfounded claims.
Until she discovered that a very unlucky junior brother had raised a group of kittens. Gradually, her luck began to change, and the ridiculous incident of falling flat on the ground after going out never happened again.
Whether kittens attract wealth or not is not confirmed, but the fortune seems to be real.
It is said that her junior brother has now become a qualified shit scraper and treats those kittens and rabbits as much as he treats his own children.
Gu Zhizhou touched the soft fur on Ah Xuan's neck. The correct way to pet the cat made Ah Xuan purr involuntarily, which was a sign of comfort from being scratched.
He smiled, and the tense lines on his face softened, "Yes, Ah Xuan has been with me since I can remember. We are playmates and comrades-in-arms."
His contract with Ah Xuan has never been a master-servant contract, but the fairest, equal contract drawn up by the gods.
God is the fairest existence in the world.
They are the beliefs of human beings and the beliefs of demons.
Spiritual beasts, ferocious beasts, spiritual plants, and demonic plants all have beliefs.
Their beliefs are all divine.
The beast clan has a beast god, the spiritual plant has a wood god, the shark clan has a moon god, and the demon clan has a devil god.
As for the human race, what they believe in is the Lord of the Gods, the God Lord.
It’s just that in the human race’s inheritance, there is no information about the Lord of the Gods, including the war between gods and demons thousands of years ago.
In the world of cultivation, most people who know that period of history believe that the war was because there was no main god, so the demons took advantage of it.
Gu Zhizhou put back his distant thoughts and smiled brightly at Tao Tao. Against the setting sun in the desert, the golden light cast a thin glow on the young man.
He waved his hand: "The sun is going down soon. The desert at night is very dangerous. Why don't we find a place to camp first and wait until the sun rises tomorrow to continue looking for small fish?"
Luo Heng and others looked at the fiery red half of the sky and also felt that the desert night was too dangerous to go out.
Working in groups of two, the tents were quickly pitched at sunset.
As the last ray of sunlight from the horizon fell into the Western Mountain, a few people lit a bonfire. In the dark night, the fire seemed to be the only source of light.
The vast desert is eerily quiet at night.
Gu Zhizhou crossed his arms and rubbed them again and again. Goosebumps fell all over the floor. He put his hands on the fire and roasted them. The cold in his bones was driven away.
He stretched out his brows, hugged himself into a ball, and huddled beside the campfire. "They say the temperature difference between day and night is huge in the desert. Now I finally see it."
Luo Heng and Tao Tao were not much better. They also sat by the fire with their arms folded, as if they were keeping watch all night.
Lou Tingyu frowned and pushed Gu Zhizhou, unable to bear it, without pushing.
Like a toad, he sat motionless on the ground.
No, if the toad pokes it with a stick and moves even one step, it will look like it is hibernating.
"You don't have a fire spirit root, so why are you so afraid of the cold? Wouldn't it warm you up if you activate your spiritual power?"
Gu Zhizhou raised his eyelids and glanced at Lou Tingyu. Normally, he would have jumped ten feet high and followed the theory.
but now,,,
He withdrew his gaze, moved his hips in small steps, and turned his head to the other side, not looking at that annoying face.
Not only was Lou Tingyu shocked, but Luo Heng, who had played with him since childhood, was also quite surprised by his reaction. He asked with concern: "Secret, are you feeling uncomfortable? Or were you injured when you were thrown over before?"
Gu Zhizhou buried his head, looking a little aggrieved, and replied angrily, "It's okay."
Luo Heng knew his habits very well, and he would never be like this if nothing happened.
Nothing is wrong with this! This is obviously a big deal!
The young master was pampered at home, and when he was wronged at home, he often wanted to make it known to everyone. How could he be like today with his head buried and not at all energetic?
Luo Heng's voice became louder and he asked again: "Gu Zhizhou, are you hiding something from me?"
Gu Zhizhou was flustered for a moment after his thoughts were guessed. He pretended to be calm and raised his head and smiled at Luo Heng, "No! Really not!"
That smile, how forced it was, Qionggui and Tao Tao, who had been quiet all this time, couldn't stand it.
The two said one after another: "Is everything really okay?"
"Why do I feel that your smile looks like you drank a bottle of expired vinegar? It feels aggrieved and forced?"
Seeing that Gu Zhizhou, who was surrounded by words, looked pale, shook his head, and seemed to want to cry.
Luo Heng's heart skipped a beat, how wronged he had been! !
Gu Zhizhou was usually heartless, but when Grandpa Gu slapped his buttocks and slapped his palms, his eyes and nose turned red like onions, but he didn't even cry.
Will the attack be broken today?
He quickly changed his expression to what he thought was a softer expression, and lowered his voice a lot, focusing on persuasion, "Gu Zhizhou, we have known each other for so many years. Isn't it an exaggeration to say that we grew up under the same roof?"
Gu Zhizhou nodded and said "hmm" as loudly as a mosquito.
"Before leaving the secret realm, Grandpa Gu actually asked me to take care of you, but he only asked me to 'take care of' you, because he wanted you to become independent more than letting me help you."
Gu Zhizhou rubbed his eyes and calmed down slightly, but he still remained silent.
Seeing that there was something going on, Luo Heng continued to guide him softly, thinking that it was really strange that at such a young age, he actually felt like he was a father.
"I refuted Grandpa Gu at that time. I said that you have the ability to be independent, and you practice very hard. Your temper has also restrained, and you have made new friends. Your grandpa was very happy after hearing this!"
Gu Zhizhou's eyes lit up and he looked at Luo Heng pitifully like a little animal: "Really? Grandpa really said that?"
Luo Heng nodded without conscience. He would never tell Gu Zhizhou that his grandfather's original words were: 'He is such an adult, and there are some things that we, the people, have to wipe his ass for!' I'm so embarrassed! '
He touched his nose and found that it had not grown longer. He calmed down and continued to cheat.
"Grandpa Gu also said that although he is usually strict with you, as the young master of the Gu family, you are never inferior to Ashu and I in terms of cultivation, and you have become a role model for many junior brothers and sisters in the sect in terms of beast control. In fact, he has always led you to Proud!"
Gu Zhizhou tasted these words and subconsciously felt that these were not words that his grandfather could say.
Because grandpa was so filthy in his words, he didn’t include the word “I” in such a long speech?
Also, grandpa wouldn't say so many words of encouragement. He would just kick himself off to the library to chew books, or go to the martial arts field to practice bows and arrows.
Gu Zhizhou felt a little sad. He already understood that these were Luo Heng's unconscionable words to coax him, but he liked hearing them, so he didn't interrupt.
Seeing that Gu Zhizhou's eyes had returned to normal, Luo Heng knew that Gu Zhizhou was no longer trying to get into trouble, so he quickly stopped touting him.
"So, what I want to say is, even if you have the ability to be independent, don't forget to share some of your stories and grievances with our relatives and friends. If you encounter something that you can't solve by yourself, speak up and let's find a solution together. Isn’t this better than you hiding there, sneaking around and racking your brains and trying to figure out a decent way to do it?”
Gu Zhizhou's face was still very pale. Luo Heng squinted his eyes and glanced at the giraffes watching on the side. He rolled his eyes and said, "Well, if you still find it difficult to speak, just tell me and I will come up with ideas?"
Gu Zhizhou moved Si Ma's butt.
Luo Heng raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw this, "You know, I always have a lot of ideas, but you don't believe me?"
If you don't believe it, this big hat was almost pinned on Gu Zhizhou's head. He jumped up and waved his hands: "No! I don't believe it! Apart from my parents and grandpa, the people I believe in the most are you and Ashu Aning!"
As he spoke, he tapped the index fingers of both hands in embarrassment: "Now there is an extra little fish... I don't disbelieve you... it's just..."
"Just what?" Luo Heng asked knowingly.
Gu Zhizhou curled his lips and looked at the "Long Neck" fivesome intentionally or unintentionally.
Tao Tao and others were suddenly embarrassed and turned their backs.
"Ah! Senior brother and sister, the night sky in this desert is so beautiful!"
"Yes, yes!" Tool Tao nodded once.
"Oh, little Taozi, this Peach Blossom Secret Realm is so amazing, it can even bring in the sun, moon and stars!"
"Yes, yes!" Tool Tao nodded twice.
It was Qionggui's turn. He looked up and down, left and right, and stammered: "Ah, this, this, this, this, this star is so bright!"
"..."
Qingfeng Mingyue and Qingfeng Mingyue hurriedly tugged at the hem of Tao Tao's clothes, their eyes wildly signaling: Senior sister, senior sister! It's your turn! Your lines! !
After receiving the signal, Tao Tao immediately reacted and nodded three times in a formulaic manner: "Yes! Yes!"
Then he blinked his eyes and looked at each other: How is it? Are the feelings still in place?
Lou Tingyu was silent.
After a long while, he gave Tao Tao a thumbs-up gesture under his sleeve: I won’t even support the wall, so I will obey you!
