Chapter 63 Sugar World Nuwa
Everyone was stunned by this magic weapon. Are you kidding? You took this out from Peacock God? No, why would Peacock God have this thing? Did he save it for Tan Xiao? Just use Peacock as your personal space!
Kui Shiyi: You are ready to broaden your horizons, and now you show me this?
Tan Xiao was also very calm. Otherwise, what else would he do? Would he fire a cannon at saccharin?
Mu Fei opened her mouth but failed to speak for several times. Then she felt that this was Tan Xiao, and it made sense. After a while, she exclaimed, "If I'm not mistaken, that magic weapon should be... a magic prop! Brother wizard, learn from the west and use it in the east!"
She only knew that Tan Xiao spoke Parseltongue, but she didn't expect that even magic props were used. Chu Wu was quite good at absorbing.
"This is not mine." Tan Xiao said, "I borrowed it from the great god." Didn't we just see it? How could we still think it was his? We can't have a stereotype of him as a mascot.
Everyone: “…”
No way, when they saw the state of this magic weapon, they subconsciously thought that it must be kept by Kong Xuan for Tan Xiao. How could it really be Kong Xuan's? The appearance of such a thing on the Peacock God was really confusing.
Tan Xiao saw their expressions and thought to himself, I never thought that the things Teacher Ji gave me would really be useful one day...
Over there, as the saccharides on the wall fell off the wall with a snap, the saccharides crowded together, supported each other and stood up, pointing at Tan Xiao's stick and blaming him. Tan Xiao couldn't hear them clearly, but judging from their indignant expressions, they probably thought he was vicious.
"I have been very martial!" Tan Xiao knocked the prop stick on the ground, and the sugar essences immediately pushed and shoved each other to avoid it, all afraid of Tan Xiao's righteous punishment.
"I hear they are not very proficient in talking, so why not use an opening spell, it will be more convenient." Tan Xiao looked at Barry, who was still using the magic wand to maintain order. There was no way these saccharins were a group and each of them was talking at their own pace. At this moment, Tan Xiao felt that he understood the teacher who slapped the podium.
Barry melted a bowl of water, flicked them silently, and chanted an opening spell, and the words were indeed much clearer.
Tan Xiao pulled one out from the stick: "You come to speak for everyone. Let me ask you, are you the ones who move Zhao Qishan to Qiyunling every week?"
Tang Jing's voice was still thin, and he crossed his arms over his chest and said proudly, "Yes!"
We have to move, Zhao Qishan, get out of the Zhao family!
The other saccharines followed suit and puffed out their chests...
Tan Xiao couldn't help but look back at Kong Xuan.
Kong Xuan: “?”
Kong Xuan was very confused. He didn't know whether Tan Xiao was looking at him for help or something.
But Tan Xiao had already turned his head back: "Is there a reason? Has he ever offended you?"
To be honest, even if these sugar spirits said there was no reason, Tan Xiao would not be surprised. According to his summary of the strange notes, sometimes the spirits of things would do things for no reason. After gaining spiritual wisdom, they naturally wanted to try their abilities to do something, even just for mischief. Just like when Ah Jin had not learned the rules, he subconsciously destroyed the website backup.
But these saccharines were quite clear about the right and wrong of things. They hadn't yet realized that the pillow was a substitute. They pointed at the pillow and even rushed up to punch and kick it.
"Silence!" Tan Xiao poked the floor rhythmically with his prop stick. Forgive him for not being able to hold back. He felt like a yamen runner at that moment.
The saccharins were frightened by Tan Xiao. They dropped the pillows and shrank back, almost falling down on the spot.
They leaned their heads together to discuss, and then the representative, Sugar Jing, raised his palm and said, "Heinous crimes! The first crime is hypocrisy! In front of the customers, he praised the gummy bears as the best-selling and most delicious gummy bears. Behind the customers, he said," Sugar Jing pinched his throat and imitated Zhao Qishan's words, "It's too sweet, Xiaobao, I don't know why you like to eat this."
The saccharine behind the scenes all agreed: "Don't we know whether it tastes good or not? Doesn't he know whether it sells well or not? What kind of taste!"
"Uh..." Everyone was speechless.
"Hey, speaking of sales, when did you come up with the Lingzhi? Hasn't it been sold yet?" Tan Xiao asked.
"It's not unsalable!" Tang Jing was afraid of being misunderstood, so he loudly defended, "I just hid myself."
Kui Shiyi also hid at home, and they also hid at home, but they had never seen each other, so they were neighbors who had to visit each other.
"There is a second charge!" Sugar clenched his fist, "Smoking, smoking so many cigarettes every day, our Xiaobao is still a student, how can he breathe his secondhand smoke??"
Everyone looked at each other, um, this...
Kui Shiyi's voice floated faintly from under the bed: "Wow, no wonder they move mountains on weekends, is it because Xiaobao usually stays overnight?"
"Why are you talking so much?" Barry knocked on the bed speechlessly. Kui Eleven really felt very involved.
But this is true, and they can't follow him to the hospital. Zhao Qishan said he was fine in the hospital. At home, he is still at home, which can have a confusing effect.
In addition to the confusing effect...
Barry interjected, "You guys have good stamina, and you can even move mountains."
"Humph, we can only run so far, and yet he always finds it," Sugarcane said in annoyance, "Why can't he just abandon it?"
Everyone: “…”
"And, the third charge—" The saccharins pushed out a friend, who was missing an arm, "That day he accidentally saw it playing in the living room, and it immediately lay in the fruit bowl pretending to be dead. He picked it up and ate a small bite, then said, "Tsk tsk," and threw it in the trash can again."
Trash can trash can trash can! What an insult!
"Wait, I don't quite understand this one. Do you hate him for taking a bite and causing your companion to become disabled, or do you hate him for not finishing it, or do you hate him for saying it was too sweet after eating it?" Tan Xiao asked. As for being eaten, it was not surprising, after all, he had not cultivated a more advanced form yet, and was still a sugar body. Some little monsters could be bullied by humans, so they would retaliate secretly.
Tan Xiao's question made the Sugar Refiners discuss it for a while, and then they said, "It's mainly the crime of intentional injury, but there is also psychological trauma."
——They struggled for a while between their identity as candy and their new identity as spirits.
"You've been moving for so long, it's time to settle with Hela." Tan Xiao had mediated several times, and seeing that they were dissatisfied, he said, "Let's talk about this later and see if the victim is willing to reconcile with you."
The things that the sugar shavings did were not serious. As long as they were brought back to the 404 Office for education and training, the cause and effect between them and Zhao Qishan could go through the 404 Office's procedures and be judged in any way. For example, the case of Zhong Da Huzi was more serious and he was directly put in jail. If the problem was not serious, they could also be mediated privately to resolve the cause and effect.
The job of wizards is to act as a communicator between humans, gods, ghosts, and monsters. If they can make sense, they should talk nicely. It is better to resolve the feud than to create it. If they can't make sense, they should use force. This is true for monsters and gods as well.
"Let me ask you something else. You always go to Qiyunling. Have you seen a Yorkshire terrier?" Mu Fei also bent down and asked.
"Yorkshire Terrier?" The saccharins discussed with each other and gestured the appearance of dogs to confirm with each other that yes, the kind they had seen in the community was Yorkshire Terrier and they knew what it looked like, but in the mountains, did anyone pay attention?
They discussed for a while, and finally one of the sugar spirits raised his hand. It was the sugar spirit with one arm missing. It raised its other hand and said, "I once saw a Yorkshire terrier digging a hole. It ignored me, and I ignored it too!"
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this; there really was a clue.
"Approximately what time and where?" Barry immediately took out the map and started marking.
Sugarcane jumped to the map and studied it: "Hmm, I don't understand!"
Barry: “…”
...Then what are you looking at?
"It's okay. I'll take it to the scene for identification." Barry suppressed his excitement. "Digging a hole. What is it digging in Qiyunling?"
Mu Fei also nodded: "Not bad, there has been a lot of progress today."
I didn't expect that after all the twists and turns, it had nothing to do with the ghost figurines, and ended up with a piece of saccharin that could be crushed even with magic props. Fortunately, it was a weak piece of saccharin, and it was so small that it sounded like even Yorkshire Terriers would disdain to eat it...
"I'll go tell Mr. Xu." Mu Fei went to the next room and woke up Mr. Xu.
…
Zhao Qishan had been forcing himself to close his eyes and shield himself from the outside world, with his mouth blocked by Mr. Xu. Now he opened his eyes and looked at Mu Fei anxiously. He heard some clanging noises from the next room, fast and not loud, and then some voices, but he couldn't hear them clearly. He kept thinking whether the evil spirit had escaped. He was really anxious. If this matter could not be completed in one day, he would be afraid for one day. If it could not be completed in one hour, he would tremble for one hour.
"You... forget it, just come too. " Mu Fei looked at Zhao Qishan's expression and thought that he would have a hard time sleeping, so she simply let him put his mind to it.
"Can I? I don't dare..." Zhao Qishan just wanted to know if it was done, "I don't dare to look at zombies!"
"It's not a zombie." Mu Fei thought of the jumping figure before and felt a little funny. "I guarantee that you won't be scared after seeing this."
Zhao Qishan pulled Mu Fei's sleeve and followed her into the room. Seeing the little red figures moving around on the ground, he felt a little dizzy and murmured, "Why did I see little figures? I didn't eat the mushrooms..."
"This is what you thought the zombie was." Mu Fei said, "Look carefully, can you still recognize it?"
Zhao Qishan took a closer look. Oh, it wasn't a little man, it was a little bear, and it was...
The armless saccharine jumped up and pointed at the teeth marks on his shoulder, "Do you remember me?"
Zhao Qishan: “!!!”
Zhao Qishan opened his mouth wide, not because of Bibi's teeth marks, but because he was too shocked. The appearance of Kui Shiyi was very scary, but it had to be said that it was more in line with his imagination of evil spirits.
But why...
"Why can gummy bears become spirits?" Zhao Qishan asked in confusion. Was he being retaliated against because he ate a gummy bear that became a spirit? Who would have thought of that? He even thought, damn, would our little treasure want to raise them?
"It's nothing that a gummy bear turned into a spirit. The librarian at my alma mater turned into the Jin Ping Mei." Barry said lazily. Under the Emperor's Flowing Blood, the main theme is that all things are equal.
They repeated Saccharin's accusation again, which made Zhao Qishan even more dizzy.
"Then, what should I do? Do I need some sacrifices like cattle or sheep..." Zhao Qishan saw what the local superstitious people did. They usually offered three animals and then sent away the ghosts.
"Not necessarily. And this is what you can do if you want to settle privately. You can also go through the official process. They are still entangled with you for a little cause and effect."
Zhao Qishan thought about it and said, "Can I listen to them first?" All he could think about now was how many working days it would take to go through the official process. It would be great if it could be settled as soon as possible. Although it looked cute, he asked them not to carry him anymore in the future.
Tan Xiao asked those saccharines, "Okay, you can tell us your demands. If they are not excessive, we can continue the discussion. Uncle, just listen. Don't say anything. If you feel that something is not right, don't get excited. Let's talk about it together after listening." He clenched the stick.
The saccharins were frightened again. They hugged each other and wanted to tell Zhao Qishan to get out of the Zhao family, but they didn't dare to say it because it was obvious that the wizard wanted them to leave the Zhao family. "Yes, yes, first of all, Zhao Qishan has to quit smoking!"
"I want to quit smoking myself!" Zhao Qishan said immediately, feeling a little ashamed. He felt a little ashamed when he heard the complaints of these people. These people all thought about the harm of secondhand smoke to their families.
"Uncle, you have to listen to it, but you can't agree to it without authorization." Tan Xiao reminded him again. Zhao Qishan's words were not considered as an agreement, but it was a little bit close. He might think it was nothing, and it was almost for his own good, but you should know that you can't just agree to it just because Tang Jing is weak. Promises are effective. People can't remember them, but ghosts and gods can remember them.
"Sorry..." Zhao Qishan slapped his face, annoyed that he spoke so quickly.
"If you agree, you can't smoke a single cigarette!" The sugar essences danced around Zhao Qishan and laughed, "The gods and ghosts are my witnesses. If you agree and still dare to smoke in the future, you will suffer from diabetes!"
Zhao Qishan was stunned. Fortunately, he didn't agree to it! Quitting smoking is not that easy. Now, looking at those funny fudge jumping figures, Zhao Qishan's mood changed again and he became nervous, especially when he remembered that he had thought that his daughter might want to raise them.
He looked at Tan Xiao, but thought of what Tan Xiao said and stopped talking.
Tan Xiao made a soothing gesture, "Anything else?"
"One last request, put the gummy bears at the front of the shelf!" The saccharines continued to make requests.
"That's all, right?" Tan Xiao looked at Zhao Qishan. "If you agree, then the cause and effect will be settled privately. Director Mu will take them back, and the following procedures have nothing to do with you."
"Everything else is fine, except smoking." Zhao Qishan gestured and felt it was too strict.
Tan Xiao bowed his head again and said, "I am negotiating for the incense master today. The second rule can be relaxed a bit. First of all, smoking is absolutely prohibited at home and in public places. Then, smoking can be gradually reduced in other places."
When he said this, he saw the sugar spirits raising their hands in dissatisfaction, so he pointed at the sugar spirit with the missing arm and said, "In exchange, we can repair the arm of your wounded soldier."
The saccharines whispered to each other, doubtfully asking, "Can you make up for it?"
None of them made this request, naturally thinking that the damage was done.
Tan Xiao thought about it and said, "Let's give it a try."
Now that both parties have reached an agreement, they can prepare to sign a contract.
Coincidentally, Barry had also completed the ritual of sending away Gui Shiyi. This thing was invited by Zhao Qishan's mother. It is easy to invite a god but difficult to send him away, so of course some rituals must be performed.
However, the preparations of both parties were different. Barry prepared chicken blood, cinnabar, and talismans.
Unlike Barry, Tan Xiao was thinking about the recipe in his mind. Fortunately, Zhao Qishan's family ran a supermarket, so Tan Xiao looked around and found everything he needed. To replenish the saccharin, he just had to make soft candy.
The saccharin is red, so Tan Xiao used pitaya, crushed and filtered it, then melted it with gelatin sheets to make it into liquid, mixed it with fruit juice, took the saccharin, made a mold according to the same method, and refrigerated them together for half an hour. The arm grew strong on the body and was then coated with some icing sugar.
When the fridge was opened again, the other saccharines stared nervously.
Tan Xiao took the disabled saccharin out of the mold and placed it on the ground. It also looked at its hand nervously and tried to lift it up.
Not broken!
The other saccharins excitedly crowded over and poked its new arm, "Wow!!"
As newborn monsters, they made a new discovery: although they cannot regenerate, they can still replenish their bodies as long as they find the right miracle doctor!
Tan Xiao continued to pick out other soft candies. Well, they were as big as a dragon fruit, so he made a big bowl and shared the rest with everyone.
Kong Xuan threw it into his mouth, hmm, it was soft, chewy and sweet.
Tan Xiao wanted to share, but when he took one out, Kong Xuan ate one. The others thought, forget it, let’s not fight with high school students for snacks…
So awesome!
The sugar lovers were originally very afraid of Tan Xiao, after all, they had been punished by him before, but now they felt a sense of admiration and huddled together to watch Tan Xiao pick sugar to feed the birds.
"Stop looking. Aren't you afraid?" Tan Xiao joked. Of course these sweeteners would not be afraid. One reason was that these gummies did not have the same life as them, and they did not seem to resent being eaten as much as being rejected for not tasting good.
"Tell me, what's the difference between you and Nuwa to them..." Mu Fei said.
Tan Xiao: "..."
Tang Jing, whose arm had been repaired, walked up to Tan Xiao and bowed.
"It's okay." Tan Xiao said there was no need to be polite, "This is what we agreed on."
"Even so..." Saccharin looked up with gratitude and raised his hand to salute, imitating the students in the community. "What you gave me is pure natural fruit juice jelly, and I am just industrial saccharin!"
Tan Xiao: “…………”
The others smiled dryly. Damn, this is even possible?
Because Tang Jing was the one who wore it and he patched up the arm, he was the one who naturally recited the farewell speech, "The sky is dark, the ground is dark, the incense master asked me to see you off... There are thousands of families in the world, why rely on just one? The cause and effect have been resolved, never look back!"
Tan Xiao was done with this. Looking at Barry, he had also finished the ritual of sending off the puppet 11 and was about to put it back into the wooden box. "Do you have anything else to say?"
"Nothing, I will obey my leader in everything and won't cause any trouble to you." Kui Shiyi said with a grin, "Well, fellow mages, remember my name. If you need to raise Yin soldiers in the future, you can ask me to come and work for you. If you are willing to give me face, it would be best if you could set up a tablet for me to be a Yin God. Meeting is fate."
He said so, but the mages present were not on the job for the first time, so they naturally smiled and said nothing.
Kui Shiyi's gaze turned around and fell on Tan Xiao, "Wizard, are you sure you really didn't invite me? I still think you look familiar..."
Tan Xiao didn't even need to look back at Kong Xuan, and shouted: "When did I invite you? Stop trying to sow discord!"
How is this called sowing discord? When Kui Shiyi tried to get close to Tan Xiao, he slapped the box and closed it.
When leaving, Zhao Qishan insisted on packing snacks for everyone, especially two high school students.
"Okay." Tan Xiao couldn't refuse, so he pulled Kong Xuan's sleeve open and said shyly, "Put it in here, don't put it in my pocket."
Zhao Qishan stuffed a whole shrimp strip into the sleeves, but his sleeves didn't bulge out. He was stunned for a moment, then threw chocolate and yogurt into the sleeves...
"Oh my god!" Zhao Qishan looked at Kong Xuan and seemed to understand something. How many people are there in this group?
…
Barry and Mr. Xu were responsible for following up on what happened next, and Tan Xiao returned with a load of snacks.
When he met the teacher at school and heard Ji Huiming asking about the escape room, he remembered that he seemed to have made up a lie. When other students heard about such an amazing escape room, they also gathered around.
"That book... After we finished playing it, the boss said that the cost was too high and cancelled it." Tan Xiao didn't think so. Could he have introduced Teacher Ji to 404 for the experience?
Ji Huiming said regretfully: "There are not many people in this market who are dedicated to making products!"
Tan Xiao nodded randomly: "Yeah."
"But you two have good stamina. You still have the energy to go to the secret room after finishing your homework." Ji Huiming took out a registration form from behind his back, "Would you like to sign up for the school sports meet?"
As soon as this was brought out, all the students who had been gathering around scattered away. Teacher, your true colors are revealed.
"Don't run, don't run! Who will run the 5,000 meters?" Ji Huiming tried to stop everyone.
Of course, most people can't do such hard work as a 5,000-meter long-distance run. Tan Xiao quickly turned around to push Lin Yang. The first person he thought of was Lin Yang, who was the representative of the physical education class. "It's time for you to show your skills."
"Xiaoxiao, if I run 5,000 meters, you have to run 3,000 meters?" Lin Yang laughed. It's okay to run 5,000 meters. He can handle it. The key is that everyone should run together.
Yu Zhenzhen immediately applauded Lin Yang, "What a man, he is worthy of being Tan Xiao's desk mate." She said it fluently and referred to Lin Yang as Tan Xiao's desk mate.
"Yes, class leaders all set an example." Ji Huiming said with a smile.
"I will definitely sign up for the project..." Tan Xiao knew he couldn't escape, so he went to get the registration form, but just as he put his hand around it, Kong Xuan pulled it away.
Everyone was nominating each other just now, but no one dared to bother Kong Xuan. Kong Xuan was usually aloof, and Ji Huiming had talked to him several times during the school anniversary, but he ignored him. It was Tan Xiao who took care of it.
Kong Xuan looked at the registration form. What was so great about running 5,000 meters that it was worth Tan Xiao's first recommendation. "I'll sign up for all of them!"
Everyone: “Ah?”
"Haha, Kong Xuan has good intentions, but each person can only sign up for two events at most." Ji Huiming looked at Kong Xuan's physique and said, "See which event you are most confident in. If we want to participate, it would be best if we can get more places. For example, for this 5,000 meters, we must finish it within 20 minutes at least. If we want to get a stable place, the requirements are even higher."
Lin Yang: "Yeah, I ran for seventeen minutes last year!"
Kong Xuan glanced at Tan Xiao, who quickly shook his head. He smiled coldly, "Teacher Ji, I'll run to seventeen seconds for you."
Tan Xiao: “…” Still couldn’t stop it.
Hearing this, Ji Huiming slowly took the registration form out of his hand and said, "Well, Lin Yang, you're going to do the 5,000-meter race, right..."
