Therefore, Lin Zhi wanted his Gu worm to be more inconspicuous, and it was best to make it difficult for anyone to notice, and by the time the person who was under his Gu noticed, the winner would have already been decided.

Lin Zhi shook the specially made silver bell on his waist with satisfaction, watching the Gu worm fly into the depression inside the bell.

With that done, he had more time to work on other things.

There are more things to do to raise cubs than in other worlds, but it's just these places to bother, about Qi He, it's not time for him to bother, and with the current level of Qi He's trust and dependence on him, it won't be difficult to achieve the goal.

Lin Zhi lost his sleepiness and got up to dress.

He was not wearing clothes from the stockade, but Central Plains clothes that had been prepared a long time ago.

It was the middle of the first month at the moment, and the cold and snow in the place they were going to had not disappeared, so Lin Zhi changed into winter clothes and looked at Qi He who woke up.

"It's still early, you can rest a little longer."

"I'm not sleepy, let's pack things together."

Before dawn, the master and apprentice had already packed up.

Qi He wrapped the knife around his back and carried it on his back.

Before leaving this hut where he had lived for nearly two years, Qi He asked, "Master, what does your Gu look like, can I touch it?" ”

Qi He wanted to know what the Gu condensed by Lin Zhi's blood was like, but he couldn't see it, he could only feel it by touching.

"Of course."

Lin Zhi summoned the Gu worm out and held Qi He's fingertips, allowing him to touch the right place.

"It's small, it's soft, it looks like it has wings, it's thin, what color is it?"

Qi He barely sketched the outline of the insect in his mind, wanting to 'see' it more clearly.

"It doesn't have a color, it's transparent."

Qi He's lips opened slightly: "Master is so powerful!" ”

"Does it have a name?"

Lin Zhi's voice rose slightly: "You want to name it?" ”

Qi He nodded and said with some expectation, "Is it okay?" ”

This Gu worm, which Master spent a lot of time and energy refining in, is the most powerful Gu in Master's hands, and may accompany Master as a Gu Master for the rest of his life.

When Master saw this Gu, he would definitely think of him, the apprentice who named the Gu worm.

Gu worms don't have a mind, they can't communicate when they listen to orders, Lin Zhi has no intention of naming him, but he saw Qi He's careful thoughts, so he also relied on him.

After receiving the answer, Qi He said happily: "Then it will be called Tianxing." ”

"When my grandfather taught me knife techniques in the past, my father and mother said that when I grew up, he would give me a knife that belonged to me, which would be as fast and sharp as my grandfather's Shenfeng knife, and I thought of a lot of names, and finally decided to call it Tianxing."

"But I can't wait for this knife, all knives in the world won't be celestial stars, so I give it this name."

"Tianxing, you have to protect Master well."

The little boy's fingertips touched the soft poisonous Gu, and it was rare to show some childishness.

He saw that Lin Tang always talked to her insects and snakes, and asked them if they understood, Lin Tang shook his head, and said what if.

At this time, Qi He was also thinking, what if, what if Tianxing could understand.

"It will, the stars protect me, I protect you."

Lin Zhi's eyes were crooked, and he leaned over and pinched the child's cheek.

There was an affectionate smile in his voice, soft but sure.

Before dawn, the mist in the mountains and forests surged in the morning, and the coolness between breaths infiltrated the lungs and turned into moist and warm water droplets in Qi He's chest.

Lin Zhi went to find Lin Su and resigned from her.

"How long will it take to be back?"

When Lin Su came back with Qi He, Lin Su knew that there would be today.

This village is too small to restrain foreign souls.

"I don't know, I'll send a letter back."

Lin Zhi couldn't say the exact time, four years and five years were too short, and seven or eight years didn't know if it was enough.

Even if he had enough time, he probably wouldn't have returned, because this was not his place to be, after all.

"You're still young, it's okay to go out and break through, if you need help, remember to ask."

"Got it, sister, I'll show you something good."

Lin Zhi handed the Heavenly Star to Lin Su, and Lin Su saw the Gu worm at the first glance with the Gu Master's acumen, his eyes widened, and his face was undisguised with shock and excitement.

Lin Su glanced at his younger brother deeply, took a deep breath and said, "A-Niang's spirit in the sky will also be proud of you." ”

"Go and talk to Xiaotang before you go, so that she won't wake up and see you sad."

Lin Zhi nodded and said goodbye to Lin Su.

When Lin Tang was sleeping in a daze, he heard his uncle say that he was leaving.

It took Lin Tang a while to react and get up from the bed.

"Uncle, where are you going?"

"Go to the Central Plains."

"Then remember to bring me something delicious when you come back!"

Lin Tang thought that his uncle was still the same as two years ago, just going out for a while.

Lin Zhi touched the little girl's sleeping hair and said, "Tang Tang, I don't know how long it will take to come back this time, if I meet something delicious and fun, I will send it back." ”

Lin Tang suddenly realized something, flattened her mouth and wanted to cry, she hugged Lin Zhi's thigh and said, "Then you have to come back early!" ”

Lin Zhi just straightened the broken hair on her sideburns, and told her to listen to Lin Su's words at home and not to go too deep into the forest to catch poisonous insects.

The little girl nodded, her face full of sadness.

Qi He waited at the door and heard Lin Tang say goodbye to him.

Qi He responded in a low voice: "Goodbye." ”

At the end of the day, Lin Zhi took Qi He and left.

Lin Zhi heard Lin Tang's shout again, Qi He couldn't see it, but he also turned his head together.

The little girl's hair was loose and she didn't wear shoes, she clenched her fists and shouted: "Uncle, if you don't come back, I will go to the Central Plains to find you when I grow up!" ”

"When the time comes, you must take me to eat a lot of delicious food!"

Lin Zhi nodded and waved at Lin Tang.

The morning light was faint, the mist surrounded the mountain, and the figures of one big and one small together quickly disappeared at the end of the mountain road.

Lin Zhi and Qi He set off on the twelfth day of the first month and arrived in Anyang City, it happened to be the Lantern Festival.

There is no curfew today, Lin Zhi is not in a hurry to take Qi He to meet the second teacher, and take Qi He to the street.

Qi He couldn't see the lights, so it was good to feel the excitement.

In Anyang City, there are clothes and makeup, and the lights on the sixth street are noisy for children.

Lin Zhi bought two bowls of dripping flour Lantern Festival and dispelled the winter chill with Qi He.

Qi He bit the glutinous rice skin, sucked the sesame paste that was a little hot inside, and had a smile on his face.

"Master, I just heard someone say that there is a riddle lantern not far away, let's go too."

Qi He has a good ear, and he just heard someone in the crowd say how beautiful the most difficult puzzle-solving lantern is, and he can guess the riddle.

Although he practiced martial arts in the past two years, he also read, and he couldn't see it, so he asked Mr. Wu, who knew how to read, to read it to him when he was practicing martial arts.

Although Wu Feng was literate, he was not interested in the books that his master brought him, and sometimes he could read himself to sleep.

But since he found out that he could use two minds, and memorized those contents while practicing martial arts, he rarely fell asleep.

Qi He wrote down what he didn't understand, and asked the master when he went back in the evening, the days were very fulfilling, Qi He thought, his guessing skills should not regress much.

Qi He rarely wanted to play, so of course Lin Zhi took him there.

The lanterns are lined up, and the visitors are weaving.

The vendors in Anyang City are very smart, and in addition to the lantern riddles and lanterns that are present at each stall, they also jointly held a lantern riddle event.

From the street to the end, there are ten stalls, one stall and one activity lantern riddle, and you can take away a bamboo stick if you answer correctly.

If you have six skewers, you can choose a simple lantern, and if you have eight skewers, you can take away the largest lantern.

Qi He was eager to try, Lin Zhi took his hand and watched him guess the lantern riddle.

Qi He answered seven times correctly in a row, and the eighth was a little difficult, Qi He thought for a while, said the answer, and successfully got the eighth bamboo stick.

The ninth was unexpectedly simple, and Qi He soon came to the last stall.

As expected, this question is very difficult.

There were many people who had returned from the feathers, looking at the blind boy curiously.

Lin Zhi felt Qi He's hand holding him gradually tighten, obviously Qi He was in a predicament.

01 asked a little uncontrollably: [Host, don't you help?] 】

Lin Zhi already had the answer in his heart, and he replied with a smile: [No. 】

Lin Zhi never spoke, just held the little boy's hand and gave him encouragement.

Under the time reminder of the lantern boss, Qi He pursed his pale lips and shook his head.

"Sorry, I can't guess."

"It's okay, it's okay, Erlang is already very powerful, these are your nine sticks, you can go ahead and pick out the lanterns."

The boss put the bamboo stick in Lin Zhi's hand and pointed him in the direction.

"Thank you."

Lin Zhi held a bamboo stick in one hand and Qi He in the other, and walked towards the place the boss said.
