Chapter 1004: An Indigestible Midnight Snack
Zhongli slapped him again, but this time he really used force and almost knocked Gu Sanqiu over.
"You should go to bed early too, do you hear me?"
"Yes, yes, I will obey the Emperor's order."
Gu Sanqiu responded lazily, and only looked back furtively after a while.
After all, I have to confirm whether my father is really gone, instead of staying in the room waiting for me.
"Well, go ahead."
Gu Sanqiu smiled, clasped his hands together, and a golden light rippled between his eyebrows, causing the flame of the oil lamp to sway slightly.
"Should I recite two sentences? May the Buddha have mercy on me and may the Three Pure Ones be above me."
"This is quite interesting. I'm afraid I'll have to be a lay disciple with long hair no matter where I am."
If possible, maybe I can start a lineage in Teyvat . No matter which family the ancestor is from, I will offer him up on the table first.
The Three Pure Ones and the Buddha were seated, with the guardian gods such as the Arhat who subdues dragons and tigers and Erlang and Nezha on both sides.
This is much more domineering than the Jin Chanzi with a tattoo of dual Vulcan cannons and missiles on his back.
It sounds like fun.
But tattoos... forget it. For an "insider" like Gu Sanqiu, there are too many taboos about tattoos, not just in terms of .
The most basic and most metaphysical one is to carefully consider whether you can bear the symbolic meanings of the tattoo.
"What is the world outside like?"
Suddenly I understood what it felt like to be the old ancestor Gu Shen. The excitement of the outside world is indeed very attractive.
Gu Sanqiu's eyes gradually closed, a clay sculpture-like expression gradually crept onto his face, and his body gradually stiffened.
"In the field of destiny, there is no so-called key constellation, nor is there any link between the past and the future. Everything depends on yourself, and what you can comprehend is all kinds of strange."
"But I don't have to worry about that."
Starting from the bottom of Gu Sanqiu's body, lines of rock elemental power gradually attached to him, transforming him into a stone man in seclusion.
"It's enough to just become stronger. According to what my father said, the six constellations, that is, the six supernatural powers, if this is the limit, if this can't bear my wish, then open another constellation."
Six lives, also known as full lives, can be seen as a form of activating the power of the life stars, which is equivalent to an energy system.
If you want to optimize and improve in this area so that you can unleash even greater power, you will really have to risk your life to figure it out.
Maybe the Son of Fortune doesn’t need it?
Gu Sanqiu's mouth twitched slightly, and he almost came out of that clay sculpture or wood carving state.
Because he remembered the two golden-haired people, one from the star field and the other from the star sea. Gu Sanqiu didn't know where these two people came from.
If they really burst out to their full potential, Ying and Kong's power might even be greater than that of ordinary demons.
"Using one's own life star as the base point, one can outline a galaxy, or a 'pseudo-world' concept similar to the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm and the Dao Foundation Cave Heaven?"
"Kong's strength has not yet fully recovered, so his inability to display strength can also be explained. The strange phenomenon after Ying took action may represent the world they traveled to before."
"You think this is your strength? This is ridiculous."
Gu Sanqiu calmed himself down. The rock had already attached to his waist. The light from the lamp was burning on the rock, making it look particularly lonely.
It was as if an archaeological team or a group of treasure hunters had entered an ancient ruin, holding torches and looking closely at the statues whose true traces had been obscured by time.
“Qiuqiu…”
There was an intermittent knock on the door. Gu Sanqiu opened his eyes and came out of his meditation state. The rock he was clinging to instantly turned into rock elemental force and returned to his body.
"Come in, I'm not asleep yet."
Walnut came in wearing pajamas, holding a pillow printed with plum blossoms and butterflies. After closing the door, she yawned loudly with drooping eyelids and rubbed her eyes with her hands.
"What's wrong with you?"
"I can't sleep if I eat too much."
Gu Sanqiu: ...
"I told you not to eat so much, but you didn't listen."
Gu Sanqiu sighed: "Do you need me to cast a sleeping spell for you? I guarantee it will work."
"No, just lean on me for a while. I am a natural genius. I can digest those midnight snacks in just a short while."
"That's not how you use your natural talent, you back-alley dark doggerel."
Gu Sanqiu stretched out his hand, and a breeze brought over a blanket, which he wrapped tightly around Hu Tao, allowing the other party to come closer.
Hu Tao leaned on Gu Sanqiu's shoulder and subconsciously rubbed his head against it, a bit like pressing a pillow with her hands to make it more comfortable.
"Qiuqiu, what are you doing?"
"I am becoming a monk, so sleep where you are."
Hu Tao's voice was dazed: "Is there anything I want to ask for in order to become a monk?"
"I don't have any requirements. If you understand, then you understand. If you don't, you will be a fake for the rest of your life."
"If you really become a member of the sect, there will be some restrictions on the taste of the food. Also, forget about getting married and having children. All I want to do in this life is to study Buddhism wholeheartedly."
Walnut closed her eyes: "Oh, then you are lying to me. You must not like that kind of life if you have to avoid certain smells even when eating."
Gu Sanqiu smiled and said, "What's wrong with the green lamp, the ancient Buddha, the scriptures and loneliness as companions?"
"No, it doesn't sound fun to be alone."
Walnut said, "That's what you did when you carried me on your back to look for grandpa. You covered me with a blanket and let me sleep leaning against you."
"We agreed that I would watch the second half of the night, but you ended up watching by the fire the entire night."
Gu Sanqiu fiddled with the wick and added a spoonful of lamp oil into the lamp.
"You don't understand. Boys are full of fire and are not as afraid of the cold as you girls."
"Tsk, you keep telling me nonsense."
"I'm not lying to you. There is an order of yin and yang, and there are differences between men and women. There will always be things that you are afraid of and things that you are not afraid of."
"What about you, Qiuqiu? What are you afraid of?"
"Oh, I'm worried that you won't be able to sleep well if you sleep like this, so why don't you go back to your room and sleep on your bed?"
"No, just sleep like this."
Hu Tao rubbed Gu Sanqiu's shoulder again: "I can sleep peacefully this way ."
Gu Sanqiu laughed: "I won't run away, go back to sleep."
"No, you will definitely run away. You have been lying to me every day since I was a child, relying on my ignorance."
"Oh, slander, this is pure slander!"
"This is what the guest told me. He said that although Brother Gu is not a bad person, he is very good at deceiving people. It's ok for him to say one thing and do another, but the key is that there is a 50% chance that what he did was to deceive others."
Gu Sanqiu: ...
So this is how my dad plotted against me behind my back.
Really good at judging people.JPG
"I really won't run away. I'll make breakfast for you when you wake up tomorrow, okay?"
"I want to eat steamed buns with boiled fish filling."
How to make such an abstract filling, a new version of soup dumplings?
Hu Tao, wrapped in a blanket, moved her body, curled up like a cat and huddled close to Gu Sanqiu.
"Qiuqiu, aren't you afraid of being alone?"
"Don't be afraid. People will always feel lonely sometimes. I'm used to it."
"But I'm afraid."
Walnut's breathing gradually became steady: "So you can't run away. If you dare to run away, I will cry for you to see."
Gu Sanqiu finally moved his gaze away from the wick and gently rubbed Hu Tao's hair with his palm.
"Well, I'm not running."
"You are not allowed to marry into the family either."
"...Okay, I won't marry into your family either."
Otherwise, why not ask the people from the Ten Gold Club to ask Keqing to tidy up the market early tomorrow morning.
"Spend more time with me in the future, and don't scare me."
Gu Sanqiu picked up Hu Tao, who was wrapped like a blanket worm, and spoke softly as if he was coaxing a child.
If Hu Tao's body was a little smaller, Gu Sanqiu might have become a human-powered cradle by now.
"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say. I won't run away, I won't marry into your family, and I won't scare you. I'll spend more time playing with you in the future."
A faint smile appeared on Hu Tao's face, then she leaned her head on Gu Sanqiu's chest and fell into a deep sleep.
It seems that the "midnight snack" has finally been digested.
Gu Sanqiu hugged Hu Tao and focused his gaze back on the light. The flames reflected the indifferent look in his eyes.
Sorry, girl.
I'll be with you.
