Chapter 4: The Moon Bird Puppet
In the inner hall, Wang Ling's eyes widened, staring at the fat bird with a pinch of red feathers on his head in disbelief, and his fingers that stayed in the air did not move for a long time.
"This ...... A genius born with a ninth-order puppet power, the awakened natal puppet turned out to be just a good-for-nothing Moon Moon Bird. ”
The sharp contrast made Wang Ling's entire face twist, and the muscles on his face kept twitching.
In the Canggu Continent, the natal puppets can be roughly divided into three categories: battle puppets, imperial puppets, and control puppets according to different combat methods, and the growth and combat effectiveness of the puppets themselves are subdivided into, mortal puppets, earth puppets, heavenly puppets and the most powerful god puppets.
However, there is a type of natal puppet that is no longer within these ranks, this awakened puppet does not have any combat power and living defense, from a certain point of view, this kind of puppet will only become a burden to the puppeteer, called a waste puppet.
Just like the puppet Moon Moon Bird in Wang Ling's mouth, not only does it have no combat power and defense, but it will also secretly absorb the puppet power in the puppeteer's body without authorization, hindering the puppeteer's growth.
"Whew!"
At this time, Xu Zhen, who had been stunned by the red light before, woke up faintly, and the impact made his head burst.
After slapping his head hard, Xu Zhen gradually came to his senses, and saw Wang Ling who was still staying at the door at a glance.
"What are you doing standing there stupidly? ”
"Uh...... Senior brother, you can take a look there first. The corners of Wang Ling's mouth twitched.
"Huh?" Xu Zhen was confused.
"Could it be that Gu Chen encountered something unexpected. Thinking of this, Xu Zhen hurriedly looked towards the corner.
"I'll go, how can this be?"
Just like Wang Ling's reaction, Xu Zhen suddenly jumped up from the ground, pointing at the fat bird in the air for a long time and couldn't say a word.
"Huh...... Senior brother, I think, this should be the most bizarre pair, a genius awakened person born with puppet power, and the lowest useless waste puppet Moon Moon Bird among puppets. Wang Ling walked to Gu Chen's side, his mouth full of bitterness.
"Whew!" Xu Zhen let out a long breath, the previous shock had been suppressed by him, and he didn't believe that it would be that kind of waste puppet that knocked him unconscious.
Slowly coming to Gu Chen's side, Xu Zhen carefully looked at the little bird with fluttering wings.
"No, junior brother, where did the red feathers on the head of the moon bird come from. And looking at this size, it is obviously larger than the newborn Moon Bird puppet. Are we mistaken? Xu Zhen pointed at the bird and said suspiciously.
"How can you be mistaken, you look at the appearance of this puppet, it is obviously a moon bird, even if it is not an ordinary moon bird puppet, even if it is the king of the moon and moon birds, isn't it still a waste puppet?" Wang Ling rolled his eyes, he was the same as Xu Zhen, he was unwilling to accept the reality in front of him, the original genius puppeteer became a waste puppeteer in the blink of an eye, and these two extreme changes made him extremely embarrassed.
"Senior brother, look, are we still taking him back to the sect?" asked Wang Ling cautiously after a long time.
Xu Zhen looked at Gu Chen, who was still unconscious, and then stared at the Moon Moon Bird carefully, and said, "Let's take it back first, it's also the first awakened person we have met over the years who is born with puppet power, let the master worry about the rest of the matter." ”
"Oh," Wang Ling nodded. Then he woke Gu Chen up.
"Ah, it hurts...... What just happened?"
Gu Chen rubbed his still swollen head, and glanced at the two people who were leaning in front of him.
"How can I say it, you have successfully awakened, but you puppet ......" Wang Ling said softly.
"Huh, the awakening was successful?"
Gu Chen reacted at this time, and then his eyes stayed on the slightly cute fat bird.
"Is this my natal puppet? It looks so cute, what's its name? Gu Chen asked eagerly, his fingers moved lightly inadvertently, and the fat bird in the air made some movements jerkily with the dancing of the silver thread on his fingers.
"Hah, I can control it, it's really my puppet. ”
Gu Chen was overjoyed and tried to make the fat bird pose in various poses.
"I'll ...... The moon bird is still cute, forget it, I can't say it, senior brother, you should sue him. Wang Ling really couldn't bear to splash the young man's cold water, turned around and went out.
Xu Zhen looked at the disappeared junior brother, and wanted to speak several times, but he didn't say a word.
"Lord Xu Zhen, is something wrong?"
At this time, Gu Chen also felt that the two of them seemed to have an unspeakable secret, so he stopped the movements in his hand and looked at Xu Zhen suspiciously.
"This ...... How to say it, alas!"
Xu Zhen looked at those clear sapphire eyes, he really couldn't afford to deceive, and after a long sigh, he told everything about this natal puppet.
For a long time, Gu Chen listened to Xu Zhen's explanation sluggishly, and his eyes were full of complicated feelings.
"Lord Xu Zhen, in this way, will this puppet be a burden to me?"
"Well, that's true, but because you're naturally full of puppet power, we've decided to bring you back to the academy and let the academy decide whether or not to keep you. ”
Xu Zhen gently touched Gu Chen's head, and his words were full of pity.
"Lord Xu Zhen, thank you, it's just that since this is my natal puppet, I will take good care of it and won't let others look down on it. Gu Chen clenched his fists and said word by word.
"Good boy, it's best if you think so, then you go back and say goodbye to your family first, and come here again tomorrow at noon, and we'll set off together." ”
"Hmm. ”
After Xu Zhen's royal tomb, Gu Chen put away the puppet and walked towards home.
Along the way, Gu Chen's mind was full of Xu Zhen's words, and the excitement of successfully awakening was also swept away, only those eyes still showed a resolute light.
"You're back, how's your awakening?"
In front of the blacksmith shop, Gu Xiaotian unexpectedly stood at the door waiting for Gu Chen's return.
"Dad, the awakening was successful, but it's just ......" Gu Chen's voice became lower and lower, and he buried his head deeply.
"Hmm, what's wrong?" Gu Xiaotian raised his eyebrows, his mouth was full of smiles, and said, "Release your puppet and let me see ......"
"Oh"
Gu Chen responded softly, then closed his eyes and calmed down.
Airplanes!
At the center of the eyebrows, a mysterious mark appeared, and the silver light flashed along the lines of the mark.
Yo!
A cloud of red light suddenly burst out from the imprint, and ten hair-like silver threads surged out from the red light, firmly connecting to Gu Chen's ten fingers.
"This is my natal puppet, Moon Bird. ”
Gu Chen pursed his lips and said with a wry smile: "It's just a kind of waste puppet." ”
Gu Xiaotian didn't respond, and he was completely stunned from the moment this fat bird appeared.
Tremblingly, he stretched out his fingers and touched the fat bird, and a complex color flashed in his eyes.
"Chen'er, what do you call it?" Gu Xiaotian asked abruptly.
"Yueyue Bird, the two adults sued me. Gu Chen replied truthfully.
"Moon Moon Bird...... Moon Moon Bird. Gu Xiaotian kept repeating the name in his mouth, and there was a hint of ridicule on his old face.
"It's really stupid, to think of such a puppet as a moon bird, I really don't know if the world is stupid, or my generation is too lonely!" Gu Xiaotian thought secretly.
"Chen'er, do you know the four totem puppets on this continent?"
After a long time, after Gu Chen put away the Moon Moon Bird, Gu Xiao asked a genius.
"Totem puppet, Dad, the child doesn't know. Gu Chen's face was full of doubts, why couldn't he understand a word of what his father said today.
Gu Chen clearly felt that after seeing his natal puppet, his father seemed to have changed as a person.
Walking slowly into the blacksmith shop, Gu Xiaotian grabbed the wine jug on the stove and poured it in a big gulp, until the wine jug was empty, he reluctantly put it down, and his eyes fell on the burning hearth.
At this moment, Gu Chen clearly saw a purple energy flashing in his father's eyes, and those black eyes, as if they had seen through the heavens and the earth, were deep and vast.
"Chen'er, remember, your puppet is not a waste puppet, your puppet is exactly the same as your mother, they are all so outstanding. ”
Unconsciously, Gu Xiaotian's eyes moistened slightly.
"Mother?" Gu Chen gently touched this unfamiliar title, since he was a child, he asked about his mother more than once, but his father never mentioned it, just told him, his mother loved him deeply, he was, is, and will be.
"Dad, can you tell me about my mother?" Gu Chen looked up, his eyes full of expectations.
"Chen'er, there are some things that you can't know yet, and even if you know, it's not good for you, and when the time is ripe in the future, Dad will naturally tell you all. ”
Gu Xiaotian touched the young man's head dotingly, he saw all the suffering that Gu Chen had suffered over the years. But his son's strength also made him feel very gratified.
"Got it, Dad, by the way, those two adults said that I would go back with them tomorrow, I don't know, can it. ”
"Haha...... Of course, since you have also become a puppeteer, you naturally have to go to the academy to study. ”
"Ha, Dad, you agreed?"
Gu Chen was extremely pleasantly surprised, he didn't expect that his father would agree to him so readily today.
"Well, why doesn't my brother agree, okay, you go into the house to clean up, and we will have a good meal in the evening......"
"Yes, Dad. ”
The previous haze was swept away, Gu Chen jumped three feet high, and rushed into the backyard excitedly.
Seeing his son's happy appearance, Gu Xiaotian smiled indifferently and sat down next to the fire.
The burning flames reflected on his face, and fine beads of sweat slowly seeped through his dark skin.
"The Purple Domain Canglong shook the sky, the West Pole Demon Phoenix danced, the Frost Titan shook the heavens and the earth, and the Nine Abyss Skeleton Immortal Pool. ”
"Ruri, do you know, our son's natal puppet is as beautiful as yours......"
