When it was dawn, Tao Xiaozhi was stimulated by a pungent smell, so he got up, and then he found himself naked and stuck in the arid land with a sore back. But he inspected the surroundings and found that the scenery was quite familiar, had he ever been here...... Of course, the most familiar thing is the smell of this black earth, like a pit, but it is quite pleasant to inhale...... Then, he found a mud dragon rooted in this dry land like him, but the latter's tragic death of the eyeballs was gone, and the fragrance it even emitted was teasing Tao Xiaozhi's hunger - it was actually cooked! Then Tao Xiaozhi suddenly realized something, and his brain hurt several nerves-this is Longtan Paradise!!

How has this place dried up, how full of life it used to be: mud dragons, stench, birds singing and flowers...... Did the sun fall into the pool? He bathed here the other day...... Everything changed so fast that he couldn't believe the facts in front of him, let alone that there were countless mud dragons buried in this cracked land!

And then there are the questions: why is he here, and why is he not roasted? He had been meditating all the time, even though his mental consciousness seemed to suddenly dim for a while, what happened during that time......

There are too many things he can't explain, but there is always someone who will answer, that person is not far from this pool-Gu Xuan Lao Tong! He is lying on this dry quagmire, his eyes staring straight at the sky, motionless, as if he is dead! Of course, such a person will not die so easily, Tao Xiaozhi can be sure of this, so he just looked at the old man quietly, and did not scream, because he saw another different Gu Xuan Lao Tong, a quiet old man.

Sadness, thinking, a blank mind, pleasantness, daydreaming, his expression was quite calm, and there was no change at all, and he couldn't guess what was going on in his heart.

This is how Gu Xuan Lao Tong has been quietly looking at the sky, and Tao Xiaozhi has also been watching him quietly until the sun sets, until the stars appear, and then at dawn......

It's the first time they've been so strangely together, like two shy lovers on their first date.

But they won't be like this forever. Therefore, Gu Xuan Lao Tong stood up, and walked over, pulling Tao Xiaozhi out of the soil like a turnip.

Gu Xuan Lao Tong spoke first: "I know you have a lot of questions, but ......"

Tao Xiaozhi said: "I know, I understand, you don't say it." ”

Gu Xuan Laotong gave Tao Xiaozhi a slap, this time he really hit it with his hands: "You know a fart, do you know that you owe me a lot of personal favors!"

Tao Xiaozhi said: "I will feel guilty, but I will not be a cow or a horse for you, if I can, of course I want to pay you back." ”

Gu Xuan Lao Tong pointed to the ground and said, "Do you still have me?"

Of course Tao Xiaozhi can't, because only this island will have mud dragons, and Longtan Paradise is unique. So he only felt guilty, although he didn't know what he had done.

Gu Xuan Lao Tong sneered, "You must be curious to know what you did a few nights ago, right?"

Tao Xiaozhi said: "I had a dream, do you want to know what I dreamed of?"

Gu Xuan Lao Tong said: "Who knows it!"

Tao Xiaozhi said: "I'm not rare, this is my answer, because I know that I must have done something bad." ”

Gu Xuan Lao Tong patted Tao Xiaozhi's shoulder and suddenly laughed: "Although the price is quite large, I am very proud of what you did that night - this is my demeanor!"

Gu Xuan Lao Tong is really Gu Xuan Lao Tong, if you can guess his mood, maybe you can go to be a weather forecaster.

Tao Xiaozhi didn't speak, because he didn't know whether it was a joke or a backword, and he didn't know whether he was happy or unhappy, so he looked a little embarrassed.

Gu Xuan Lao Tong patted Tao Xiaozhi's chest again and smiled evilly: "From my first glance, I can see that you have a burning heart. ”

Tao Xiaozhi said: "So you want me to be your apprentice at that time?"

Gu Xuan Lao Tong smiled: "At that time, you couldn't even beat the three-headed snake......

Tao Xiaozhi said: "It's like a two-headed tiger......"

"Who cares about him, the protagonist is not it......" Gu Xuan Lao Tong put his arm on Tao Xiaozhi's shoulder and looked quite brotherly, "Actually, the first time I saw you, I thought of another person——"

Tao Xiaozhi said: "Is it a smile?"

Gu Xuan Lao Tong said: "No, it's to laugh at the madness next door." ”

Tao Xiaozhi said: "Why?"

Gu Xuan Lao Tong said: "Because you have a wild heart like him!"

"He ......"

When Tao Xiaozhi wanted to ask again, he was hooked by Gu Xuan's neck and wanted to pull him away.

"Let's go, let's go home for dinner, and pick up some mud dragons by the way, don't waste them." ”

"And then can you tell me about the madness or the laughter?"

"Then we continued to cultivate. ”

"Sit-still?"

"No, go play with fire. ”

Tao Xiaozhi was serious this time, and Gu Xuan's face was even more serious than him, it seemed that this was really not a joke. Tao Xiaozhi has already played with fire like this, and he is going to play, will he burn the whole island!

Then Gu Xuan Lao Tong said, "Do you know why I want you to meditate?"

Tao Xiaozhi said: "I don't know. ”

Gu Xuan Lao Tong said: "It's just to make you play with fire better - of course, there are other benefits." ”

Tao Xiaozhi said: "I don't understand. ”

Gu Xuan Lao Tong said: "When the time comes, you will naturally understand." ”

Tao Xiaozhi said: "But I still don't understand what you mean by calling me to play with fire." ”

Gu Xuan Lao Tong sighed and said, "I really forgot that you may not have any brains when you play with fire...... Or maybe it's the other you who is playing with fire. ”

Of course, Tao Xiaozhi didn't understand, because the things about himself being a burning person were all things that he woke up and others told him, and he couldn't even believe it, how could he understand?

"I'll make you understand, afterward. Gu Xuan Lao Tong said, "I will let you control the fire in your heart freely, and let you have a brain, at least know what you are doing...... Of course, this is quite a long process, and I can't be sure if you can do it, and there is a great danger in this cultivation process, if you are not careful, you will burn your head and go mad, etc., so are you willing to try?"

Tao Xiaozhi sighed and said helplessly: "As your smart apprentice, can I still have a choice?"

Gu Xuan Lao Tong nodded and said, "Okay, you can slap yourself." ”

"Why?"

"Eighteen more slaps!"

“......”

"Don't ask why, let's go home for dinner......"

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Although Gu Xuan Lao Tong didn't say what happened, let's explain it here.

Tao Xiaozhi and the Fire Qilin fought for almost a night, but they didn't kill each other: Tao Xiaozhi fainted because of the exhaustion of the fire, his body was extremely weak, but the fire still flickered out, and the fangs remained red, and the Fire Qilin was also exhausted, probably knowing that this was not a battle that ended quickly, so it galloped away. This is a lose-lose story, but both of them may feel very happy in their hearts.

Tao Xiaozhi was not only extremely weak, but also suffered a lot of trauma, if not treated, it was quite possible to die immediately. So Gu Xuan Lao Tong threw him to Longtan Paradise. But Gu Xuan Lao Tong didn't expect that Tao Xiaozhi's burning heart hadn't been extinguished yet: the latter was still fighting in the dream during the time he was in a coma, so he burned again, and it was even more powerful than before! That's it, Longtan Paradise instantly turned into a mud dragon's grave...... Poor mud dragon, the soul is not gone......

Gu Xuan Lao Tong also wanted to save all this, but it happened too quickly and too suddenly. Another reason is that Tao Xiaozhi's fire is so fierce that even Gu Xuan Lao Tong doesn't dare to approach.

The unique Longtan Paradise has become a swan song.

Of course, there is another question: why is the fire unicorn not dead? This answer is difficult to answer, perhaps this answer is this: because he is not dead, he is not dead, and death is just wishful thinking.
