Chapter Forty-Seven: Rushing to the Mentor and Rebelling
"The strong in the wilderness have no gender."
Xi silently recited this sentence over and over again, only to feel that Gu Xu had simply spoken to her heart.
Most of the women in the wilderness are not free.
Because the life of people in this era is precarious, and the average life expectancy is much shorter than that of later generations, they often have to marry in their early tens, and spend the rest of their lives in pregnancy and childbirth again and again.
Xi was reluctant to accept such a fate.
She also wants to be like a man, taking up arms and protecting her tribe.
She had confided in her grandfather and brother about it.
But they were all embarrassed by this, and said, "Little girl, don't be cranky. ”
Because of this, when Gu Xu descended from the sky and showed an indescribable ability in front of them, Xi's first reaction was not to bow to him, but to make him his teacher.
It's just that with the passage of time, in the daily relationship with Gu Xu, she also had a little other thoughts about him in addition to the teacher-student relationship.
"Master, don't you like me?" After a brief pause, she asked again.
"Why?"
"You refused too simply."
"We are just a pure master-apprentice relationship."
"But if it's you, I don't mind turning into a husband and wife relationship," Xi said bluntly, "You're better than all the men here, and you're better looking than them." ”
In ancient times, the criteria for choosing a woman's mate can be said to be very simple, "strong" is the basic condition, and "good-looking" is a plus.
Their personalities are also very simple, if they like it, if they don't like it, they don't like it, and whatever they think in their hearts is straightforward in their actions.
As long as the two of them look at each other, they will go to the grove together for the night that day.
will not be as reserved as the women of later generations, and there will be no cumbersome and lengthy marriage customs.
"Are you trying to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors?"
"No," Xi looked puzzled, "I just like Shizun." Why did the master say this? ”
Gu Xu glanced at her still immature body and sighed lightly, "You are too small." ”
He's not Lolicon.
Xi may have reached the age of marriage in ancient times, but in his eyes, he was almost like an underage middle school student.
"I will grow up," Xi crossed his hands on his hips and said seriously, "as long as the master is willing to wait patiently for me for a few years." ”
Gu Xu suddenly restrained his smile and looked at the girl with stern eyes: "Have you finished your cultivation task tonight?" Have you memorized all the tricks I've taught you? Did you do it to get you to Zamabu? ”
The girl was taken aback by his sudden change of attitude, and said timidly, "Do it...... It's done, but it's not done yet......"
"Then don't do it quickly!" Gu Xu raised his voice and reprimanded, "At a young age, what should I do if I think about these messy things all day long, which affects my cultivation?"
"My disciple must be a strong man who is in charge of his own affairs. If you become a waste who only thinks crankily and doesn't do your job, don't tell others that you were taught by me in the future. ”
Xi never imagined that the always amiable master would have such a fierce time.
"You...... Don't murder me, I'll go and cultivate. ”
She said hesitantly, for fear that if the master was angry, she would not want her as an apprentice.
Then she found an open space next to him and sat down cross-legged, closed her eyes, and fell into a meditative state.
Gu Xu looked at Xi looking like a quail in front of him, and recalled Zhao Yan's posture of pressing him against the wall like a domineering president and kissing him, thinking to himself how could the personality gap between two people who looked so similar be so huge.
Then he took out the pen and paper from the "Idle Cloud House" and continued to paint and complete the diagram of the "Holy Fire Totem".
…………
In the early morning of the next day, Gu Xu finally sketched the last line of the "Holy Fire Totem".
At this time, Xi happened to be standing beside him, looking down at the tip of his pen moving slowly on the paper, his gaze extremely focused.
The moment Gu Xu put away his pen, a red light ran through all the strokes on the paper, reflecting the rising sun in the eastern sky.
The girl's eyes lit up.
Through the gorgeous and intricate runes like phoenix feathers, she seemed to have a faint glimpse of a powerful self.
"It's beautiful!" She muttered.
Before Gu Xu could speak, the girl's hands were already on the edge of her blouse, ready to tear it off.
"What are you doing?" Gu Xu grabbed her arm.
"If you don't take it off, how do you draw a talisman?" "According to the tradition of our tribe, every man stands naked in front of the bonfire when he reaches adulthood, and the tribal leader paints a tattoo of the beast on his body, indicating that he has become a warrior capable of defending his people. ”
"But you're a girl."
"Master, didn't you say that girls can also become warriors?"
Gu Xu was silent for a while, and wanted to say, "I don't want others to peek at you", but when the words came to his lips, they became "I'm afraid that you will catch a cold." ”
"I'm in good health, I never catch a cold." The girl pursed her lips.
"Xi, be obedient," Gu Xu stood up, stretched out his hand and rubbed the rebel's head, "I'll take you to a good place." ”
…………
A moment later, as Gu Xu's mind moved, "Xianyunju" appeared out of thin air among the mountains and forests.
I saw its withered beams and paintings, delicate and elegant, such as birds, such as Feisi.
In the rough and barbaric painting style of the primitive era, it seems out of place - take Gu Xu's words in his previous life as an analogy, it is like an alien spaceship landing on the earth.
Xi looked at this building that did not belong to this era, her eyes widened in surprise, and there was a little more admiration in her eyes when she looked at Gu Xu.
"Master, are you really not an immortal?"
"I'm not."
"If you're not an immortal, how can you live in such a beautiful place?"
"In my hometown, many people live in such houses," Gu Xu said, "Besides, this is just a magic weapon for me." ”
To tell the truth, I've been chasing more with reading books recently, switching sources, and reading aloud with more timbre,.. Both Android and Apple are available. 】
"Magic weapon, what is that?"
"It is an item of extraordinary power used by practitioners, usually used as a weapon, but sometimes it can also be used for other purposes, such as living or storing sundries, like this 'idle cloud dwelling'."
Xi had a wistful expression.
"Master, I'm also a cultivator now," she looked up at Gu Xu, her beautiful eyes shining in the early morning sun, "Then will I also have my own 'magic weapon' in the future?" ”
"Before I leave here, I'll try to find a way to make one for you." Gu Xu pondered for a moment and replied.
"The master is the best."
Xi Xi smiled and grabbed Gu Xu's sleeve tighter.
Then follow him up the steps, cross the threshold, and enter the "idle cloud residence".
