Book 1, Volume 1, Desert Ghost Town, Chapter 4, Longing

No matter what one's experience is, time does not speed up or pause with one's consciousness, it always passes quickly, and before you know it, it is already sunrise and dawn.

"Uh... My head hurts..."I don't know how I fell asleep, Jiuxia was awakened by a gentle sound of the flute, and just wanted to move, but felt a pain in the back like a heavy blow, and wanted to scream, but his attention was instantly pulled by the sound of the flute, forehead, to be precise, the black-haired girl leaning on the balcony window.

Because Jiuxia's bedroom is connected to the balcony on the left, he can be said to have an unobstructed view of the beautiful scenery in front of him, and he has been educated about what it means to be "beautiful and delicious"... No, I brought back a man yesterday!

"You're awake. The sound of the flute stopped, and the other party had obviously noticed himself who was peeping.

"Ahh Hmm..."Su Jiuxia suddenly seemed to have a sense of urgency to make a mistake, replied uneasily, and quickly got up and got dressed, sat on the edge of the bed, uh, when did he take off his clothes...

"How about the song just now?" didn't look at Jiuxia, Qinghuan looked down at the morning scene downstairs, because this is not a downtown area, and the relatively quiet green environment is more in line with Qinghuan's feeling.

"Well... Listen..."A simple question, Jiuxia is like going through another high school entrance examination, his brain is in a semi-blank state, and he can't think of any good words, and besides, he is not good at talking to people, otherwise, he would not be single now.

"Thank you. Qinghuan was not unhappy with this extremely ordinary word, and turned around and chuckled.

"Eh, what's wrong with your injury?" Jiuxia suddenly remembered what he looked like when he came back with him last night, no matter how you look at that injury, he should be lying in the intensive care room.

"Except for the scapular injury, which is more serious, there is no problem with movement. Qinghuan rubbed his shoulders with a natural expression.

"It's... So fast!" It's only been less than one night, is this the physique of an immortal?

"You have a special physique, by the way, thank you for saving me. One rolled down from the window sideways and looked at Jiuxia lightly.

"The two of them before last night were...?"

"One I don't know. Qing Huan woke up early, and naturally discovered the condition of his body, and he didn't know when he changed back, could it be the thing that was poured last night, he has been thinking about it, and now he can't say that the beautiful girl you saw last night who was chased and killed is the big man in front of you, so Qing Huan simply didn't answer, "By the way, when you brought me back yesterday, was I like this?"

"Yes... yes, what's wrong?" Jiuxia was stunned, what a strange question.

"That's really a problem. Qing Huan held the flute in his right hand, wrapped his hands around, and showed a bitter thought, it changed at that time, and there was a ninety percent chance that it was the red thing, but it stands to reason that he changed back, Xiao Xuetong should have woken up, why is there still no reaction.

"That's... Immortal God, can you be my master?" and Su Jiuxia's words on the side pulled back to Qinghuan's thoughts.

"What is the immortal god?" Gu Qinghuan was also stunned for a moment, and then he reacted to himself, and couldn't help but feel a little funny, "My name is Gu Qinghuan, relaxed Qing, Huan singing, immortal god or something... You've read too many novels, right? ”

"Huh... Excuse me... Please..."Su Jiuxia could obviously feel that his face was flushed, he had never begged others like this, either pretending to give up with disdain, or resigned himself to not pursuing, this was the first time for him.

"It's... I should have run away secretly. Qing Huan looked at Jiuxia with a headache, what he was not good at was dealing with strangers, let alone rejecting others casually, besides, this person had just saved your life, but if you accepted this apprentice, you can't cultivate yourself, and besides, your master's side... This made Qinghuan, who has always been indecisive, start a struggle again.

"It's dangerous, and I don't know much myself..."It took a long time for Qing Huan to hold back such a sentence that he thought was a tact.

"It's okay, I won't be afraid, thank you, Master. Jiuxia's thinking was simple, and he didn't hear the meaning of rejection in Qinghuan's words at all, thinking that he thought that he would suffer hardships and be afraid of tiredness, and he was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he hurriedly expressed his position.

That is, when he met Gu Qinghuan, who had always been indecisive, he changed to someone else, maybe he just shook his hand and left, explaining so much, but Qinghuan was different, for this reason, Lin Xinyue half-jokingly said that she would open a special course for him called learning to refuse.

And this time, Su Jiuxia, who has always been incomprehensible, successfully forced someone into a corner, and he couldn't run away.

"Okay, it's no problem to teach you, but my talent in cultivating spiritual arts is really poor, don't dislike it. Sure enough, Qinghuan surrendered to his character after being entangled for a long time.

"I'm going to be scolded by the master when I go back...", he silently prayed for himself in his heart.

"Ah, no!" As soon as he heard that the other party agreed, Jiu Xia hurriedly shook his head, he had suppressed it for too long, and now that he had caught such an opportunity, he would not give up if he died! Whether he could cultivate to the realm of a fantasy master He didn't know, and it was not bad to have such a handsome master, although he looked a little weak.

Su Jiuxia knew that his decision to go back last night, although risky, also allowed him to successfully knock on the door of this new world!

"Get up and wash up, and I'll take you out later." ”

"Huh, where?"

"Kidnap you. ”

"Uh..."

"Just kidding, you'll find out when you're gone. "Although I inexplicably accepted an apprentice, the task still has to be completed, otherwise it won't be as simple as being scolded by Xin Yue at that time, let alone having to go to the skin, maybe you have to kneel on the keyboard...

"Wow, is this my house?"

"I saw that it was too messy, so I helped you clean it up. ”

"Where's my towel?"

"When I took a shower, I put it outside to dry, I'll get it. ”

"Uh, have you changed your clothes?"

"Of course I had to change it after taking a shower. ”

"Your clothes? Ah, isn't that one mine?"

"Borrow it, I didn't expect this to happen, please..."

Ahem, Jiuxia found it the first time that watching a man sell cuteness was also a good visual enjoyment, "Eh, what about the dirty clothes?"

"The pile next to the washing machine? ”

"Huh?"

"Any questions?"

"No... No..."There's a pseudo-Niang master falling from the sky.,And a part-time perfect maid.,Ahh

Taking a bite of the crispy yellow egg cake and feeling the perfect lubrication in his mouth, Jiuxia couldn't help but feel flattered, as a person who has always been at the bottom of society, when has he ever experienced the feeling of being served in all directions.

"It's true, it's the same as I was at the beginning. Qinghuan sat silently on another chair at the table, looking at Jiuxia, as if he saw himself who was just nine years old ten years ago, the same excitement, the same curiosity, the same, I don't know how thick the sky is.

"That's... Master... What can you teach me? Also, what is it like to cultivate?"

"Eh, let me think about it, do you want to start with science popularization?" Qinghuan is also the first time to teach people, and he has no experience at all, but fortunately, the other party is also a rookie with no experience at all, so let's use some common sense to mix it up first, and then find Xinyue to make up for it.

"Okay. Jiuxia felt that basic knowledge was also very important, and he was indeed a little too anxious, worthy of being a master, that is, wise.

"Let me ask you a question first, what does your impression of the world look like?"

"What's it, this..."Jiu Xia choked for a while, if before, he felt that this world was plain and ordinary, and there was nothing full of surprises except for national conflicts and modern wars, but now the appearance of Qinghuan obviously shows that this concept is wrong, so he doesn't know how to answer.

"For many people, the world is two kinds of places, the place where they live and the place that exists in the information that the people around them convey to them, but in reality, the world is much more complex than they perceive. Gu Qinghuan was trying to recall how Xin Yue had taught him step by step, "There are many creatures living together with humans in this world, but the government is not open to the public for security reasons, and even if someone reveals it, there will be a department to clean it up, so that real world, for ordinary people, even if it is only one step away or has experienced it personally, it seems to be far away." ”

"Hmm. "Jiuxia has been exposed to some conspiracy theory books, and it is not difficult to accept these. "So how did they... What about the hidden things?"

"Information sources, transmission channels, and receiving people are just like dealing with the virus, any of the three links can be manipulated, either blockade, or hide the person concerned, and then fake some kind of accident, although everyone doesn't like the government to hide something from themselves, but the masses are really a little stupid, uh, inappropriate words, mainly because they are too easy to be used and incited. ”

"By the way, the stupidity and numbness caused by blindness are the most dangerous, you remember for me, although the prosperity of modern society stems from people's ignorance and deep belief in what they see and hear, and the ubiquitous media in this information age has also made this situation not only widely accepted by people, but also praised as a normal act of course, but it is not so easy to conceal it, after all, there are so many incidents, and everything is perfectly handled and busy to death, so there will always be some traces. Qing Huan casually pointed to the study connected to the bedroom of Jiuxia on the wall, "That's why there are unsolved mysteries that you are looking at now, but this also has the advantage, that is, it can ensure the safety of the country, after all, everyone can find out the truth from the scam, and the country will exist in name only." ”

"Hmm. Jiuxia nodded silently.

"Uh... By the way, I forgot to mention that there are no conspiracy theories in this world, and there are no huge organizations that control human beings, there is only protection, the protection of the same race for the same race. "It would be bad if this stupid boy fell into paranoia, Qing Huan felt that it was better to wake up first, "Of course, for the sake of human security, human beings also have special departments to ensure racial security and isolate sensitive information, as if there is a common hostile organization, that... I forgot their names... Skip this paragraph first. ”

"It's... All right. "Accepting so much information at one time, Jiuxia didn't feel any regrets.

"The next thing is that you have to pay attention to listening, I see that you like to read those fantasy novels, well, in general, the magic you know now is actually the same thing as the origin of cultivation, both of which use the spiritual power of the outside world, that is, the energy that exists in the elements you learned in chemistry class to strengthen yourself, but the use of it is different, for example, the cultivation you know is actually a method of attaching importance to cultivation, it is relatively easy to get started, and it is more difficult to improve, because you need to use the 'spirit' of the outside world..."

"For example, just like when you eat, you have to digest and absorb it into your own, in fact, this process is much more troublesome than digestion, magic, that is, the spirit is released, and the outside world's 'spirit' establishes contact, directly controls the elements of the outside world, because there is a difference in perception, so this thing is more difficult to get started, but after proficiency, the improvement is quite fast, in fact, your so-called magician can also store the 'spirit' in his own body, but the attack is just outward-looking, uh, no... The fundamental difference doesn't seem to be this... In general, there is no difference between the two, so, generally, the two are collectively referred to as psychics. "I muttered in my heart, it's over, Lin Xinyue didn't listen very carefully when she talked about this, so it's better to fool around first...

"Oh. Jiuxia nodded thoughtfully, because of the fact that he had played too many games, he couldn't help but think to himself, am I changing jobs?

"Psychics!?" Suddenly remembering another girl from last night, Jiuxia asked with some curiosity, "It's like... The guy last night?"

"No, there are five ways for humans to strengthen themselves, and she is the next way, and the second is the case of the person last night, which is medically called heteroemia. ”

"Medicine?" Jiuxia couldn't have imagined how such an illusory thing could be related to something as scientific as medicine.

"Well, it is a kind of mutation produced by human beings themselves, with the increase of heterogeneous factors in the body, that is, the deepening of the degree of infection, the characteristics of the disease will change differently, in short, this disease is related to your spiritual will. ”

"By the way, you'd better put aside your scientism now, the science that is now accepted by the public is nothing more than pseudoscience, and the real science is a means of discovering and using power, which does not conflict with what you think of as supernatural knowledge and spiritual will itself, and do not absolutize it. Qinghuan remembered what to say, but he also listened to Jiuxia's mind.

"Well, back to the point, this disease is very dangerous. Qing Huan's eyes were slightly cold, "When it comes to deep infection, it is already the most dangerous way to improve yourself by hunting other heterosemic patients." ”

"That's... That woman..."Jiuxia couldn't help but think of something even when she listened to it, and her back was cold, this sounded, how did it sound a bit like the struggle process of raising Gu worms.

"At least, it's forty percent infected, and besides, she's a demon, well, it must be a terrifying big monster. Qinghuan sorted out her emotions and continued.

"Demon? Animalized into human form... Is there any demonic power or something...?" Jiuxia's brain twitched, and he thought of the novel again.

"Demon power? It seems to have been called that before, but now after unification, it is called spiritual power, because the nature of power is almost the same, and many humans now actually have some hybrids, the so-called demons are humanoid creatures mixed with the genes of other species or, as you define, other species that turn into human form, of course, the bloodline of hybrids is more dangerous and not easy to control. ”

Wait, isn't his keel state just relying on Xiao Xuetong's dragon blood? But the real half-breed is Xue Hitomi, what about herself with her dragon blood flowing in her body? Qing Huan was puzzled again, it was really too reluctant to let herself be a half-person to teach! No, keep pretending...

"The other is the contract, which is too cumbersome and rare... So I forgot about it too... There's also the power of machinery.,The principle of gun armament or something.,I've never been able to figure it out.,I'm sure you've seen everything in Gundam.,Although it's not so exaggerated.,But similar machines do have the power that is not inferior to psilocy.。 ”

There are some things that are easy for you to understand because you have experienced them, but to express them just...

"Oh well... What about the last one?" After a long time, Qing Huan said the fifth way, Jiuxia was a little puzzled.

"Aren't there just four?"

"Don't you say five?"

”... Give you another chance. Qinghuan looked straight at Jiuxia.

"Well, I heard it wrong, four..."

"This... Leave it alone, and explain it accordingly when you encounter relevant situations in the future. After all, Qinghuan is not good at telling people, so he still feels a little embarrassed.

He coughed lightly, "But Master also gave me the task, and when you finish eating, you will go out together first." ”

"Master?" Jiuxia drank the last sip of hot milk.

"Her name is Lin Xinyue, you will be able to meet them soon, what about your parents, tell them before you go out. Qinghuan's tone is now quite like a child abduction trafficker.

"Well, they won't be coming back during the summer vacation, just bring their phones. Jiuxia didn't realize that this would be a dangerous world, so he jumped into it stupidly, and was very happy.

"Where are we going?" Jiuxia immediately asked excitedly as soon as he heard what task he was going to go out for.

"Hangzhou. Gu Qinghuan handed over a pair of black-framed glasses, "The initial default access password, 310-A." ”

"Hangzhou?!What is this?" Jiuxia put it on curiously, and couldn't help but gasp, "Computer?" Jiuxia was completely shocked by the picture presented on the mirror.

"It can be understood in this way, just use your gaze to locate and control, and I'll wait for you downstairs when it's sorted out. Qing Huan looked at Jiuxia and sighed lightly, "Forget it, I'd like to remind you, if you come with me, it will be very dangerous... Jiuxia, are you listening?"

"Huh? Jiuxia's attention had been drawn to the high-tech glasses, and it was obvious that she didn't care what Qinghuan was saying.

"Then I'll wait for you downstairs..."Qinghuan opened the door, turned his head to look at Jiuxia, who was overflowing with joy, and sighed silently, "You've made trouble for yourself again." ”

"Okay, it's decided, from the moment you go downstairs, Su Jiuxia, you will no longer be an ordinary student. ”

Danger, of course Jiuxia knows, but what really makes him curious and difficult to refuse is the temptation of the new world, especially for a civilian who has no power, no money, no appearance, can only be ordinary to drown in the sea of people, and live this life humbly, as long as he still has a heart that does not admit defeat, who will give up this kind of opportunity, "Let the world know how terrible the second middle school student is!"

He confidently put on his glasses, grabbed his phone, and went downstairs laughing maniacally, completely forgetting about the home he had to clean up.

In this moment, he was full of confidence and felt that he had captured the whole world.
