"The weapon spirit of 'Astrolabe'?" Gu Xu stared at the white-haired villain, "Didn't you say that only 'famous weapons' have weapon spirits?"
"Are you looking down on me?" The villain glared at him angrily and said, "I tell you, in front of the 'astrolabe', all the 'famous objects' in the world are rubbish."
Gu Xu thought about it too.
"Astrolabe" was once the natal magic weapon of Emperor Ziwei. Emperor Ziwei was much more powerful than the ordinary "Ascending Immortal".
Since the "famous weapons" left behind by the so-called "ascended ones" all have weapon spirits, then it is a matter of course that Emperor Ziwei's "astrology" has a weapon spirit.
"But why did you just show up now?" Gu Xu asked again.
"Because I need to take some time to test you," the white-haired villain said angrily, "not just anyone is qualified to be my master. As handsome, elegant, knowledgeable, versatile, graceful, wise, and martial as I am... Only the most handsome, witty, brave and potential monk in the world is worthy of me."
Even though this little white-haired man is only one thumb tall, when he speaks he holds his chin high and raises his eyebrows, as if he is the tallest and most majestic giant in the world.
Gu Xu never expected that the weapon spirit of Emperor Ziwei's natal magic weapon would be such a narcissistic joke.
Especially because the other person had a face exactly like his, which made him feel quite embarrassed.
"Are you lying to me?" Gu Xu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him, "Why do I feel that you look a bit strong on the outside but strong on the inside?"
The white-haired villain originally wanted to make a few excuses.
But when Gu Xu's sharp eyes fell on him, his aura suddenly weakened by three points, and he fell down on the surface of the "astrolabe" and said frankly to Gu Xu:
"Well, actually, it was because the 'astrology chart' was incomplete and the energy accumulated was insufficient. I have been in a deep sleep. It was not until I replenished energy today that I could barely wake up."
Having said this, the villain thought for a moment, then looked up at Gu Xu and said: "Master, your lover who is the king of the Yan Kingdom is really beautiful! That face, that figure, especially those long legs, tsk tsk, Even I, a weapon spirit, was moved when I saw it. I really can’t imagine why you——"
"——She is not my lover."
"Snapped!"
As Gu Xu spoke, he slapped the "astrolabe" with his palm, trying to swat this little thumb-sized pervert to death like a fly.
It's a pity that this villain has no physical body at all.
Gu Xu's palm passed directly through his body, but he was unscathed.
The villain chuckled: "Look, you are angry! You haven't even admitted that you like her."
"Stop talking nonsense," Gu Xu said seriously, "Since you are my weapon spirit, you must listen to me and talk about serious things, such as what role you can play."
But the white-haired villain pretended not to hear what he said at all, and still said to himself: "Haha, if I guess correctly, you have been in a conflicted mood recently because you are still thinking about your former fiancée... It's really It's ridiculous that the successor of Emperor Ziwei, the future ruler of this world, would actually think of doing multiple-choice questions.
"If it were me, everything I like would be in my own hands."
"Shut up." Gu Xu said coldly.
This time, he condensed the power of his consciousness into a needle and pierced it towards the white-haired villain, wanting to punish this bastard who spoke so freely.
He really couldn't understand why the weapon spirits in this world were so different.
Like the spirit of the "Jinghong Pen", they are good sisters who share the same heart with their master and live and die together - how can it be like this kid who only makes fun of his master all day long?
It is said that the character of the weapon spirit is based on its owner.
Could it be that Emperor Ziwei was also an irregular person during his lifetime?
Facing Gu Xu's attack, the white-haired man didn't panic. He made two random gestures with his fingers, and an invisible barrier suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking Gu Xu's spiritual attack.
Then he bared his teeth and made a grimace at Gu Xu, as if he was saying: "Come on, hit me!"
Gu Xu was too lazy to mess around with him any more. With a thought, he threw the "astrolabe" and the little white-haired man into the "Xianyun Residence", planning to put him in confinement for a few days.
After this guy understands the role of the weapon spirit, let him go.
…………
Driven by the formation, the merchant ship sailed quickly on the sea, and soon left the territorial waters of Dayan and entered the vast East China Sea.
During this period, Gu Xu kept locking himself in the cabin, either practicing or drawing talismans and seals.
The astrolabe weapon spirit was tough at first and repeatedly threatened Gu Xu, claiming that if he didn't let him out, he would fly away and find another good master.
Gu Xu had a cold attitude and ignored him.
But after a day or two, Qi Ling seemed to be unable to bear the loneliness, and his attitude changed 180 degrees.
He lay on the "astrolabe", wiping his tears while begging Gu Xu, hoping that the great master could forgive him for his offensive behavior, and he would never joke about his master's emotional gossip in the future.
His flattering words sounded so disgusting that they gave Gu Xu goosebumps all over his body.
But Gu Xu still ignored him.
Two days later, there was a little hiccup during the voyage.
When the "Peaceful Fortune" passed by the waters near Penglai Island, it was suddenly blocked by a group of practitioners flying with weapons.
Immediately afterwards, these practitioners with the Penglai Island logo on their robes landed on the deck one after another, claiming to conduct a search of the cabin.
"The treasonous traitor Gu Xu is still on the run and has not been apprehended by the court so far," they said. "We have received orders from the Qi court to strictly inspect every passing ship and never allow Gu Xu to find an opportunity to escape."
Hearing this, some crew members frowned and questioned: "Didn't Gu Xu just escape to the north a few days ago? The Lord of Yan has said that he will provide him with shelter. Why should he bother to escape to the East China Sea again?"
"That guy Gu Xu is cunning and unpredictable," the leading Penglai Island monk responded, "We must not treat him with ordinary eyes. We must be prepared at all times."
After that, the Penglai Island monks divided into several groups and began to search every corner of the merchant ship.
Gu Xu was a little nervous at first.
Because he noticed that several Penglai Island elders with fifth and sixth realm cultivation also participated in this search.
Such an overwhelming force made Gu Xu wonder whether his whereabouts had been exposed.
But later he gradually discovered that these monks were performing a grand performance rather than performing a search mission.
Even though they had all kinds of search magic weapons in their hands, they acted extremely casually after entering the cabin.
After a cursory glance, without even bothering to recite the incantation to trace back, he announced: "There is no problem here."
Gu Xu, who was wearing a mask, was regarded as an ordinary passerby by them.
"If I guessed correctly, Penglai Island is just showing off to the Qi court," Gu Xu thought silently, "Because there are no strong saints, Penglai Island, one of the three major sects, is getting weaker and weaker day by day. We need Daqi’s support.
“Because of this, when the court requires them, they must show their all-out efforts to show their loyalty.
"But in the final analysis, they didn't think that I would escape to the East China Sea, so when they actually carried out the mission, they did it hastily.
"I'm still safe for now."
