Gu Xu turned his head and saw Shi Xiaohan grabbing his sleeve at a glance, a pair of bright apricot eyes narrowed into a crescent moon, looking at him with a smile.

"Is it something delicious?" He guessed casually.

"It's not." Shi Xiaohan shook her head, and the tassels hanging on the golden hairpin swayed with her movements.

"Pills?"

"It's not."

"Silver?"

"It's not."

"What's that?" Gu Xu gave up guessing.

"Hmm...... It's this. Shi Xiaohan let go of his hand, then took out a token from his pocket and stuffed it into Gu Xu's hand.

Gu Xu took the token and looked at it carefully.

He saw that on the front of the token, there was a capital number six, which is "Lu"; On the back of the token, Shi Xiaohan's name is engraved with a small seal.

However, at this time, Shi Xiaohan suddenly snapped his fingers.

A golden glow began to appear on the token.

Immediately afterwards, the words "Shi Xiaohan" disappeared, and were replaced by the word "Gu Xu".

"What is this?" Seeing this scene, Gu Xu couldn't help but ask.

"This is a token that represents the ownership of my family's No. 6 Pill Workshop," Shi Xiaohan introduced in a brisk tone, "My family has a total of six Pill Workshops, of which No. 1 to No. 4 belong to my father, and No. 5 and No. 6 belong to me - of course, they will all be mine in the future."

"Now, I'm giving you my workshop number six as your birthday present. It is located on the outskirts of Qingzhou Mansion, and I will take you there when I have free time in the future. ”

Gu Xu looked at the token in his hand and was silent for a moment.

In the past, Xiao Han often gave him pills.

Those pills were very important to his cultivation, but for her wealthy family, they were only a gesture, and they were an insignificant part of her rich possessions.

But now, she has two workshops, but she is willing to give half of them to herself.

"Xiao Han, this gift is too valuable." Gu Xu said in a deep voice.

"Money is something outside the body," Shi Xiaohan looked into his eyes and said seriously, "Compared to you saving my life on Yishan, this is nothing at all." ”

"Actually, I'm mainly trying to save myself."

"But if it weren't for you, I would have become a sacrifice to the empty man."

"You do this...... Does your father know? ”

"This workshop is my private property. I can dispose of and transfer it at will, without asking my father's permission," Shi Xiaohan crossed his waist and said in a domineering tone, "Also, if you want to change the name engraved on its back, you need to not only snap your fingers, but also recite a specific spell in your heart.

"As for the contents of the spell, I won't tell you if I die. So this workshop No. 6 can only rot in your hands, and you will never be able to transfer it, let alone give it back to me. ”

Hearing her words, Gu Xu smiled helplessly, and could only accept this token and keep this matter in mind at the same time.

"I owe her so much now," he thought to himself, "what if I can't afford to pay it back......

At this moment, Shi Xiaohan suddenly jumped onto the stone steps next to him, stretched out his hands around his neck, and hugged him from behind. Her chin rested on his shoulder, her chest pressed against his back.

He could hear her breathing distinctly, and he could feel her heart beating faster.

"With this workshop, you don't need to worry about the lack of pills before the sixth realm," she said close to his ear, the breath she exhaled made Gu Xu feel his ears itch, "I believe that you will definitely be able to become a saint before the age of thirty." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, before Gu Xu could react, she instantly let go of her hand, jumped down the stone steps, and ran towards the other end of the corridor with a "whoosh".

When she ran, she even performed the "Falling Flowers and Flying Flods" technique, and the whole person seemed to be a ghost, and disappeared from Gu Xu's field of vision in the blink of an eye.

Gu Xu stood in place, looking at the place where she disappeared, with mixed feelings.

"This girl...... Is she shy? ”

"Also, doesn't the book say that girls are soft? Why do I feel differently? ”

…………

Shi Xiaohan ran fast.

She even forgot that it was time for breakfast, and just wanted to find a place to hide as soon as possible.

At this time, her cheeks were slightly red, and her heart was like a deer crashing.

Just now, when she handed the token to Gu Xu, she couldn't help but start thinking about his lifespan, the more she thought about it, the more distressed she became, and as soon as her brain was hot, she hugged him impulsively.

"The elders often tell me that I am a young lady from an official family, and I want to be an elegant and dignified lady - I must be reserved in front of boys, and I can't be too active, otherwise I will be looked down upon.

"I don't want to be a lady, but I'm worried about whether he'll think I'm frivolous......

"Also, Gu Xu, this guy is really skinny. In the future, I will find more delicious things to eat, and I will find a way to feed him a little fatter......"

…………

As soon as Shi Xiaohan left, Shangguan Jin walked straight towards Gu Xu from the other side of the corridor.

She still wore a pale green Luo skirt as usual, but her hair was combed into a hanging bun - a hairstyle commonly used by unmarried women of the Great Qi Dynasty, with silver hair accessories and jade earrings for a beautiful appearance.

"Gu Daoyou, I almost forgot that today was your birthday," she showed a subtle, just right smile on her face, "I wish you a rising sun, a longevity greater than a pine age, and prosperous financial luck." ”

Figuring out other people's minds and observing other people's personalities and preferences from the details is what Shangguan Jin is good at as always.

Her birthday wishes are undoubtedly Gu Xu's favorite words - he obviously wants to hear him "long life and prosperity" more than wishing him "happy birthday".

"Thank you." He smiled faintly and responded.

"This is a gift that Lord Si Shou asked me to bring you," Shangguan Jian said as he took out a scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Gu Xu, "To tell you the truth, I was very surprised by this request of Lord Si Shou today. Because he never gave a birthday present to anyone before. ”

Gu Xu's eyebrows raised slightly, and he reached out to take the scroll.

Driven by curiosity, he unfolded the scroll slightly, and found that it turned out to be a star map—every star in the sky, every star field, and even the trajectory of the stars were accurately drawn on the map, and there were clear small notes next to it, which looked dense and neat and detailed.

To his surprise, there was no trace of extraordinary power on this astrological chart, just an ordinary scroll.

"I thought that the head of the department would give me some powerful magic weapon," he thought to himself, "For example, the 'Stand-in Bracelet' and the 'Broken Void Bead' from last time are very good, and they can help me escape at a critical time." ”

But he quickly threw the thought out of his mind.

After all, receiving a gift from the head of the department is an unexpected thing in itself. He couldn't have asked for anything more from the gifts.

"Speaking of gifts, I've prepared some for you myself." At this moment, Shangguan Jian spoke again, interrupting his thoughts.

As she spoke, she pulled out a few more blank pieces of paper from her coat pocket.

The edges of the paper were jagged, as if they had been gnawed by a dog, apparently torn from a book.

She handed the blank paper to Gu Xu's hand.

Gu Xu looked at it and was surprised to find that these were actually three paintings of a very high standard - they did not use color, but purely outlined the characters and backgrounds with different shades of ink, the lines were dense and clear, and they looked simple and full of meaning.

"Shangguan Daoyou, these ...... You painted it all? ”

Shangguan Jin nodded calmly.

Gu Xu stopped talking.

The reason why he was surprised was not just because Shangguan Hibiscus was very skilled in painting.

And mainly because the protagonist of these three paintings turned out to be himself-

The first is him standing alone at the peak of Laoshan Mountain, facing the waves of the sea, with his back to the buildings on the mountain, his clothes fluttering;

The second is the night of the Lantern Festival, in which he stands as a victor on a lotus-shaped ring in the middle of the Luo River, with countless colored lanterns hanging on the bank

The third is in the fantasy of "Warm Old Pot", in which he stands between the mountains and forests, covering the heads of the "fallen people" flying in the sky with a large golden net.

Each painting is exactly like the scene at that time, as if it had been captured by a black and white camera.

"I didn't expect you to draw so well," Gu Xu was silent for a moment and praised politely, "It's really versatile." ”

"It's just a hobby," Shangguan Jin said with a smile, "It's hard not to be realistic when you draw with a magical power like 'Heavenly Calculation'." ”

Gu Xu immediately understood that Shangguan Jin's way of painting was to use the magic power of "Heavenly Calculation" to turn the scene into data, and then transform the data into a scene, and finally reproduce it on a blank paper.

It's the same as how he used "Erudite and Qiangji" to learn to draw symbols a few months ago, which is a very "cheating" behavior.

At the same time, Shangguan Jin also took out the album and showed Gu Xu a few pages casually, including the sunrise in the East China Sea, the spring scenery of the Luohe River, the miscanthus grass in tasseling, the rain and dew in the early morning, the dragonflies resting on the lotus leaves, and the children playing on the street on the night of the Lantern Festival...... It can be seen that she is very good at discovering the subtle beauty around her.

"These are my usual exercises."

"It's so pretty."

"If you look good, you have to record it so that you can watch it repeatedly."

"yes." Gu Xu didn't know how to respond for a while.

"If I have free time in the future, I would like to paint the entire city of Luojing. Gu Daoyou, what do you think? ”

"Yes, I'm looking forward to it."

Shangguan Jin smiled faintly: "You will go to Longmen Academy tomorrow to participate in the selection of 'Guest Teaching'." The head of the department said that he would go there to see it himself, and I would accompany him. You have to behave well! ”

"I'm going to do my best!" Gu Xu put the paintings and scrolls into the "Xianyun Ju" and raised his fist jokingly.

Afterwards, Shangguan Jin went to the retreat room to study Gu techniques, while Gu Xu went along the corridor to find Shi Xiaohan.

The girl was in such a hurry that she didn't even eat breakfast.

In half an hour, when the chef doesn't sell breakfast, she will regret being hungry.
