Late at night in the Crown Snowfield, there was no noise except the howling wind and snow, making it seem extremely quiet and desolate.
Xu Qiansu moved a chair and sat by the window, looking sideways at the same snowy scene outside.
There was a vast expanse of white under the night sky, and the moonlight shone on the snowfields all over the mountains and plains, reflecting the sparkling light like water waves. However, the white snow in the distance was swallowed up by the darkness and was vaguely visible.
Occasionally, the cold wind slaps on the windows, and this old house makes a tired creaking sound.
There was a red flame burning in the fireplace, instead of a few "chichi" sounds of burning wood.
Caidou leaned on the table and started writing with a pen. After a while, he took out an alliance coin from his backpack and pressed it down on the letter... He didn't write anything, just an ordinary letter of thanks.
The villagers took them in enthusiastically, but they couldn't pretend that nothing happened.
After writing, Caidou stretched his body and turned his head to look at Xu Qiansu.
Xu Qiansu looked out the window expressionlessly, but Caidou could vaguely see the reflection of his face on the transparent glass.
The dusk scene outside the window was hazy and hard to see clearly, but it was intertwined with his face in the glass, which made Caidou slightly distracted.
The swaying firelight in the fireplace shone on the glass, like a lighthouse that suddenly lit up at night. Xu Qiansu occasionally adjusted his posture. The firelight slightly overlapped with his eyes, which only made Caidou feel a confusing feeling, just like the snowy scene outside the window. , the flickering firelight flowed in front of his face, making it difficult for Caidou to see his expression clearly.
Caidou frowned slightly and looked away from the window.
Her sense of Xu Qiansu was more about the natural closeness between the master and his disciple, but Caidou often sensed that... she didn't understand this good disciple.
At this moment, Caidou could only feel a strange feeling from Xu Qiansu's body that was completely different from her previous impression... She didn't like this feeling.
The Xu Qiansu in her impression should be a young man who is upright, honest, open-minded, true to his word, quick and eager to learn, talented and high-spirited, and who respects his teachers... huh?
Caidou suddenly came to her senses. Did she have too high expectations for Xu Qiansu and pursue perfection too much?
He is self-centered and imposes his own expectations on his disciples... This is not a competent master.
I obviously didn't realize it before... Why did I suddenly start thinking about this tonight?
Caidou frowned, thought for a while, and then looked around.
This house is not big at all. The living room, bedroom, and kitchen are all gathered together... It is less than thirty square meters, and there is only one bed.
She stared at the bed for a few times, and then she suddenly thought... maybe it was because Xu Qiansu last night was really contrary to her original impression of him.
Compared to the perfect image of a good disciple in her heart, his embarrassment last night made Caidou feel that he was more like a 'human being', so being alone in the same room with a man and a woman at this moment made her think a little bit wildly.
But as a master, how can you doubt your apprentice?
Caidou shook his head, stood up, came to Chaomeng who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, and said expressionlessly: "You don't want to study with me... You have nothing to do tonight, let's just start."
Chaomeng's eyes lit up, he quickly stood up and clenched his fists... He was very covetous of Gardevoir's fighting skills and had long wanted to learn them.
Xu Qiansu looked at them sideways and let them go without saying a word.
"First of all, the first lesson is to control your own strength. Martial arts pay attention to sending and receiving from the heart." Caidou's legs were slightly bent, then he turned around suddenly and punched the fireplace behind him. The wind of the punch shook and swayed. The fire went out directly.
Xu Qiansu's eyes twitched slightly, wondering why Master Caidou's painting style was different from this world.
Zoroa, who was lying down in front of the fireplace to keep warm, moved his ears, raised his face and looked around in confusion.
Chaomeng frowned and tilted his head again...it didn't understand.
"With your physical strength, a punch will not only extinguish the fire, but also hurt Zoroa, and even break the wall." Caidou looked at Chaomeng for a few times, and then said: "This is The worst thing is... if you punch out your fist, you must be able to take it back."
Mewtwo still didn't understand.
"When will you learn how to throw a punch with all your strength and only hurt Zoroa without extinguishing the flames, then it will be considered a success." Caidou nodded slightly and said simply.
Soraya has a black hair, why must he hurt me?
She trotted and jumped onto Xu Qiansu's lap, facing Caidou with her butt.
Chaomeng still doesn't understand. Does this help its strength?
"It's okay if you don't understand. I will make a training plan. You just need to do what I say."
Chaomeng had some doubts in his heart whether Caidou was lying to her, but he thought that there would be nothing to lose by practicing, so he nodded in agreement.
Xu Qiansu found it interesting and did not sleep, so she quietly watched Caidou teach Chaomeng.
Three hours passed in this way, and when it was close to midnight, Caidou stopped, turned to Xu Qiansu and said, "Get some rest, we have to go on the road tomorrow morning."
Xu Qiansu nodded slightly and pointed to the only bed... It was obvious that the villagers regarded Xu Qiansu and Caidou as a couple. He said, "I'll make a bed on the floor."
"How can I regain my strength if I can't sleep well?" Caidou shook his head slightly and looked sideways at Xu Qiansu, thinking that Xu Qiansu was so resistant...does he really have thoughts about her?
Chaomeng's eyes lit up, and he gently raised his hand, saying that I can use hypnosis to help you enter deep sleep... After that, Xu Qiansu prepared delicious food for it.
Xu Qiansu shook his head and refused. He was in the wild and couldn't sleep without waking up.
However, Little Master Caidou said so, so Xu Qiansu would not be pretentious and used the flames of Nine Tails to boil two basins of hot water.
Caidou took off her shoes and white cotton socks, revealing her small and smooth feet. She and Xu Qiansu washed their feet together before going to bed to rest together.
Caidou turned her back to Xu Qiansu and pretended to be asleep, but she was a little confused in her heart.
On the one hand, she still hopes that her good disciple can be as perfect as she thinks in her heart.
On the one hand, she despised her own thoughts and hoped that Xu Qiansu could show some shortcomings and become more like a human being, so that she could better understand her somewhat mysterious and good apprentice.
This idea is really incomprehensible. It can be seen that Caidou must have never been in contact with a man in these years of life, otherwise it would not be possible for Caidou to have such complicated thoughts and random thoughts just because he was looked at by Xu Qiansu.
Later Caidou thought, why not test Xu Qiansu? If he has thoughts about himself, then...then give him a verbal lesson and be on guard when dealing with him in the future, but he can't be like before.
But how to test it? Caido was focused on fighting, Pokémon, and running the town. She didn't know how to seduce a man. Not to mention Cattleya and Del, even Lillie couldn't match her rank.
So she thought about it for a long time, then turned around and asked, "Xiao Xu, are you asleep?"
"Not yet...what's wrong?"
Caidou moved closer to Xu Qiansu. The distance between the two was only a few centimeters. She whispered: "This house is old and has some drafts... so it is a bit cold..."
"This way..." Xu Qiansu sat up and picked up Jiuwei who was lying in front of the fireplace.
Kyuubi was slightly startled and woke up in a daze, and the other Pokémon also opened their eyes... Mainly because Kyuubi is a fire type, and his body is fluffy and very warm, so most of the Pokémon Sleep against her.
Xu Qiansu carried Jiuwei to the bed and put her down, and said with a smile, "Master, let's sleep with Jiuwei in her arms, she will be warm."
Caido was slightly startled. The bed was only so big. When Kyuubi came, there was no space at all, so she asked, "Where are you sleeping?"
Xu Qiansu took out the pillow and put it upright next to the bed. He also took out a blanket from his backpack and spread it on the floor. Then he sat on the pillow, waved gently, and held Zoroa in his arms, "With the Pokémon, Just sleep here.”
Soraya looked up at Xu Qiansu, and Xu Qiansu leaned over and kissed her.
Gardevoir, small marsupial, and Vine Snake also ran over quickly and leaned against Xu Qiansu.
Chaomeng looked sideways at this place for a few times before snorting disdainfully.
Jiuwei also wanted to sleep with Xu Qiansu, so she thought about it, and the nine big fluffy tails brushed Xu Qiansu's body like a blanket.
She thought that after she evolved, her size became larger, so it wasn't all a bad thing~
Caidou blinked her eyes. Xu Qiansu's back was turned to him. From her angle, she could only see Xu Qiansu's side face. The firelight in the fireplace reflected his face, which made Caidou suddenly think:
What's wrong with wanting your apprentice to be perfect? Whether this was a matter of imposing her own expectations on Xu Qiansu, or whether it was a fact...she felt that she was really being a little hypocritical.
The next morning, after leaving money in the house, the two rushed towards their destination again.
Xu Qiansu used the power of the waveguide along the way. Although he could not sense the onion soldiers, he found a lot of interesting things.
For example, below the valley, on the frozen river, the ice-made geese knocked a hole in it, then stood upside down on it and fished with a long velvet on their head.
And...Gardevoir.
It's not Xu Qiansu's Gardevoir, but the Gardevoir living in the wild.
When Xu Qiansu met her, she was holding a Lalulas and looking up at the tree...she must be preparing to collect tree fruits.
On the hem of her skirt were five or six Larurus of different sizes.
This is not her child... She was originally one of them, but she evolved and became responsible for the safety of the other friends.
As soon as Xu Qiansu approached her, she quickly put down the Lalulas, then opened her hands to protect the Lalulas hiding under her feet, and then looked at Xu Qiansu warily.
When she saw Gardevoir next to Xu Qiansu, she was stunned for a moment and her expression softened a bit.
Gardevoir didn't want Xu Qiansu to get to know this Gardevoir, so she stepped forward and looked at the Gardevoir for a while, then opened her hands, hugged it, and lightly touched the horns on each other's chests that were used to sense emotions. Next... This is the way the Gardevoir tribe greets each other.
You can use this to sense the other person's mood in recent days.
The Gardevoir gently covered its mouth, looked at Gardevoir with a smile, and then at Xu Qiansu.
Gardevoir quickly blocked Xu Qiansu from letting the Gardevoir look at him.
The Gardevoir wasn't angry either, but stretched out its hand to signal Xu Qiansu and others to follow.
Following the Gardevoir to a small cave, she rummaged inside and took out some hard-frozen fruit and handed them to Xu Qiansu.
Xu Qiansu also took out a few cans of elf food from her backpack and exchanged them with her.
The Gardevoir blinked... She didn't want to take anything from Xu Qiansu...
So she thought about it for a moment, then stepped forward and kissed Xu Qiansu on the face.
This is not the way of greeting in the Gardevoir group, but this Gardevoir has seen someone doing this among humans before, and thought that this should be an action to express goodwill and gratitude.
Gardevoir was instantly angry, thinking that this girl has good intentions and wants to live in peace with you, but why did you start hooking up with my Susu!
There is really no good Gardevoir in the wild!
The Gardevoir looked at Gardevoir in confusion, not knowing why.
Then they waved goodbye.
Psychic-type Pokémon are considered quite rogue and powerful in the wild... Therefore, this Gardevoir can lead her friends to live a good life in the Crown Snowfield without Xu Qiansu having to intervene.
Of course, there are Pokémon like Gardevoir who are kind to Xu Qiansu, and there are also Pokémon who are hostile.
In just one day, Xu Qiansu and Caidou encountered at least thirteen attacks from wild Pokémon, including some powerful quasi-gods. However, in front of Xu Qiansu, their strength was just that, and Caidou did not need to take action.
With such a near miss, we arrived at the second village in the afternoon.
Next, Xu Qiansu and Caidou will use this as a base to explore outside.
The villagers still enthusiastically vacated a house for the two of them to live in. While Caidou was tidying up the room, Xu Qiansu approached the village chief and asked him about King Lei Guan.
"King Lei Guan?" The village chief is a little old man with white hair and beard, accompanied by a fluffy little wild boar. Hearing this, his squinted eyes widened a bit, and he looked around unexpectedly. Looking at Xu Qiansu, "How do you know?"
"I am an explorer who loves history. I have also gone to explore ruins before." Xu Qiansu said casually, and then said: "Do you know about His existence?"
"King Lei Guan is a legend I heard my grandfather talk about when I was a child... I listened to it as a story..." The village chief paused, recalled for a moment, and then said:
"He is the legendary king who once ruled Galar in ancient times. Although he has a petite and slender appearance, his behavior is always elegant and full of majesty. He is highly intelligent and is said to be able to see through the past, present and future. of everything.
He is also known as the King of Fertility. He has the ability to heal the soul and make vegetation sprout. It is said that when he waves his right hand, he can make flowers bloom and green grass become green. When it waves its left hand, the fields will be fertile and the crops will be harvested. "
The village chief thought for a moment, then slowly shook his head and sighed: "It would be great if there really was such a god."
"Is there a statue dedicated to Him here?" Xu Qiansu asked.
The village chief frowned and thought for a while again. This time he thought for an extra long time. The little wild boar at his feet began to lie on the ground and sleep soundly.
Xu Qiansu didn't bother him and just waited beside him.
I don't know how long it took before the village chief hammered his head and said, "I can't remember clearly."
Xu Qiansu sighed lightly, thinking that this was normal. If he wanted to find someone who knew King Lei Guan, he would probably have to go deep into the Snowy Fields of the Crown, which is the village mentioned in the original work.
But the village chief turned around and said: "But grandpa left a lot of things, which are piled up in the utility room... If you don't mind the trouble, I can take you to look for them."
Xu Qiansu nodded slightly, "Thank you."
After Caidou cleaned up the house, she looked around through the window but could not find Xu Qiansu, so she opened the door and walked outside to look for him. She walked half a circle around the small village, leaving a long series of footprints in the snow. I saw Xu Qiansu following an old man with white hair and beard into a side room.
She frowned slightly and trotted to catch up, but she saw the old man walking out again. Seeing Caidou, she smiled kindly, "The young man is looking for something inside..."
After that, he walked past Caidou and left.
Caidou looked at the village chief for a few times before shaking his head and pushing the door open.
But as soon as she stepped into the door, her pupils suddenly dilated and she lost her energy.
Xu Qiansu was squatting and rummaging through a pile of dirty clutter. When she heard the door open, she frowned slightly. She looked back and met Caidou's eyes.
But something is wrong... Little Master Caidou's eyes were originally gray, but now they are dark green, but his eyes are dull, as if he has lost his mind...
Xu Qiansu stood up suddenly, "King Lei Guan!?"
He didn't expect that King Lei Guan would be found by him so easily...or, in other words, he didn't expect that King Lei Guan would appear in front of him so easily.
[Caido] looked at Xu Qiansu with lifeless eyes, nodded slightly, and lightly opened her lips, "It's me."
Xu Qiansu frowned tightly, but ignored him and said coldly: "Come out."
"My body is sleeping at the moment, and I can only rely on other people's bodies..."
"I want you to come out of her body." Xu Qiansu's voice was so cold that the air became silent.
[Caido] was silent for a moment, wondering what was going on?
He sensed that Xu Qiansu was inquiring about his whereabouts, and thought that Xu Qiansu would help him revive, so he gritted his teeth and used his remaining strength to show up... But depending on the situation, this human being not only had no respect for him, but also treated him with This human woman regards him as much more important than him...and is not even willing to rely on him.
Since you don't care about me at all, and you don't respect me at all, then what are you doing to me?
King Lei Guan felt deeply disappointed in his heart, thinking that maybe he was overthinking this time... the person who could revive him was not the human being in front of him.
This human being may have just heard my legend, became greedy for my strength, and wanted to conquer me and use me for his own purposes to satisfy his own selfish desires.
Just when King Lei Guan was thinking this, she saw Xu Qiansu gently raise her hand, and then swung it violently backward. The power of the waveguide was like a shock wave, smashing the pile of garbage into pieces, revealing the deepest hidden treasure. There is a petite stone statue like a doll.
Its legs are slender, its features are like a deer, and its neck is dotted with pearls. The most eye-catching thing is that there is a huge dark green bud on the top of its head that looks like a crown. Several silver-gray tentacles are like antlers spread out, holding bud.
This is the true face of King Lei Guan.
After King Lei Guan appeared, Xu Qiansu sensed some abnormal waveguides from the stone statue, and then discovered it from the pile of garbage.
[Caido] was slightly startled and looked sideways at Xu Qiansu.
Xu Qiansu picked up the dusty stone statue, frowned and said, "Can't you rely on me here? Or you can rely on someone else, but it can't be her."
[Caido] was silent for a moment again, thinking that this was a rare opportunity, so it was better not to leave just yet, but to wait and see for the time being.
Thinking of this, he stretched out his palm and touched the stone statue. After a while, Caidou's legs suddenly became weak and he collapsed.
Xu Qiansu hugged her and felt the power of the waveguide for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief... and just fell asleep.
"Human..." The stone statue suddenly made a voice.
"We'll talk when we get back... I can revive you." Xu Qiansu picked up Caidou across her waist and left the utility room filled with garbage.
King Lei Guan was interrupted for the second time. Even though he had a good temper, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed at the moment and felt strong dissatisfaction with this human being... If it weren't for the fact that he had been sleeping for tens of thousands of years and desperately wanted to be revived, he would have been alive long ago. He left with a puff of sleeves.
When Xu Qiansu returned to the room, she put Caidou on the couch, closed the quilt, and added some firewood to the fireplace. Then, under the curious eyes of the Pokémon, she placed the stone statue on the table, moved a chair and sat down.
There was no abnormal movement on the stone statue, but it was dirty and smelled of dust from being soaked in old garbage dumps for many years.
"Humanity……"
Xu Qiansu frowned slightly, dipped a towel in water, and began to clean the stone statue.
King Lei Guan was interrupted again. If He had a physical form, his chest would be rising and falling, and his eyes would be wide open.
Even though he had been sleeping for ten thousand years, he was still the king who once ruled the Galar region. He was treated with courtesy and respect by every Pokémon, and was praised in poetry by humans... How could he have ever suffered such injustice?
But He always has extraordinary considerations, and there is no need to get angry with this weak human... And as a temporary body, it doesn't hurt to be cleaned. Rather, Xu Qiansu should do this to show his respect for the king... As long as But you shouldn't interrupt me.
While King Cai Lei was thinking about it, Xu Qiansu had already used two basins of water to clean the stone statue.
Xu Qiansu looked at the clean stone statue for a few times before slowly nodding, "King Lei Guan?"
"It's me..." King Lei Guan waited for a few seconds. Seeing that Xu Qiansu did not interrupt him again this time, he breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly in a calm tone: "I can sense that you are looking for me. Traces of…”
The little marsupial looked surprised. This stone statue obviously didn't move its mouth, but it could still make sounds from inside. It was amazing!
She curiously tried to poke the stone statue with her paw.
Gardevoir quickly held her little paw, "Don't touch it. This thing of unknown origin, what if it is cursed?"
Curse... King Lei Guan was shocked. How could he, a majestic king, use such a vile thing as a curse to cause trouble! ?
Insult, this is an insult to Him!
He finally couldn't help the anger in his heart and said harshly to Xu Qiansu: "Human! Take care of your Pokémon!"
The Lei Guan Wang was so angry that he didn't even say 'ru'.
From this point of view, although King Lei Guan's body is asleep, his consciousness is very clear... and he can understand the language of modern society.
Gardevoir raised his eyebrows, and his fists were immediately filled with flames. He thought to himself, you don't even have a body, and you still dare to talk to Susu in this tone. Let's see if I don't tear you apart!
King Lei Guan is not afraid at all, he has the bearing of a king, and being treated disrespectfully again and again has already made him extremely angry... If Gardevoir really dares to attack, then he will immediately withdraw his spiritual thoughts, even if this human being He would never seek his help if he could help Him recover.
Chaomeng shrank his neck, remembering the painful experience when he also wanted to take action against Xu Qiansu, but was directly hit on the head by Gardevoir with the Silver Building.
Xu Qiansu held down Gardevoir's little hand, and Gardevoir put away the flame. Then she held Xu Qiansu's hand with her backhand, pulled up a chair and sat next to him, leaning obediently on his shoulder.
Kyuubi glanced at Gardevoir with disdain. She suspected that Gardevoir was just pretending to be angry.
King Lei Guan snorted coldly in her heart and let the matter go.
He thought for a while and planned to explain his current situation first, then ask Xu Qiansu for help, tell him how to revive himself, and then promise him what benefits...
Just when King Lei Guan was thinking about how to speak, Xu Qiansu looked at the stone statue and said concisely: "I know that you have been sleeping for tens of thousands of years due to lack of faith... and I have a way to make you sleep as quickly as possible. recovery."
As soon as these words came out, King Lei Guan felt a little stunned, and a feeling that everything was being seen through by the humans in front of him emerged from the bottom of his heart.
He really wanted to get Xu Qiansu's help... but he didn't even finish a few sentences before Xu Qiansu pointed out the key points.
Isn't this wrong?
When will that weak human being who still needs my protection be able to lead me away by the nose?
Is there something wrong with this human being?
