Chapter 64: Minor Earthquake Technique
"Oh, well, I thought you would know, old Gu."
Chongyun scratched his head and said, "My family's records mention that there are several families of exorcists. Although their heritages are different, they are still people who can communicate."
"When I was traveling around Liyue with Xingqiu, I also found time to visit the former residences of those people."
"As a result, either the people were gone, or the heritage had been lost. Some people even thought I was a charlatan and wanted to call on the Qianyan Army."
Chongyun looked distressed: "I just wanted to find someone who could talk to me about the same topic, but the rest of the exorcist families seem to have disappeared into history, so I wanted to ask you."
"That's not necessary. Even if you really find the exorcist's inheritance, why can you be sure that they will be able to talk to you?"
Gu Sanqiu said calmly: "There is no need to deliberately move towards the circle that you belong to, because that may not be what you like, and it may even bring you trouble."
"For example, do the guys in the treasure-stealing group have to find people in the treasure-stealing group to chat with? Or do they dare to talk about any private topics with the so-called companions in the treasure-stealing group?"
"If you want to talk about this, then it's better to go to the wine table, or in the arms of the girls and guys in the clubs."
Chongyun frowned and thought about what Gu Sanqiu wanted to express. Of course, he pretended not to hear the words about the club.
I am still a pure exorcist and I cannot be led astray by this guy Lao Gu!
"Don't worry about whether you belong to a circle or not. It's meaningless. What you want to live like, what you like and what you hate, these are the most important things to form your own 'circle'."
Gu Sanqiu coughed, then took out the pill and swallowed it.
"I'm sorry, I forgot for a moment that we are all men, and I lost my nagging habits. If you can listen, then listen. If not, just treat it as a joke."
Gu Sanqiu patted Chongyun on the shoulder and said, "Go to bed. You'll feel much better after a good night's sleep."
Well, just don’t sleep in the arms of Xingqiu.
Under the night sky, Gu Sanqiu was leaning against a big tree, guarding the fire; the smoke obscured his expression.
"Hey, go to sleep, you guy. I'm actually very curious about who taught you this habit. I think a certain boss must be very angry and is even secretly investigating the person."
Xingqiu kicked Gu Sanqiu on the calf: "Time is precious, get some rest. Tomorrow we will explore this island and then set out immediately to find our target."
“That’s clearly my line.”
Gu Sanqiu smiled , then put out the cigarette, clasped his hands in front of his chest, stretched out one leg and curled up the other.
"Call me at dawn."
"Eh……"
Xingqiu was just about to let this guy go to sleep in the cabin, but he heard Gu Sanqiu's steady breathing.
"So, the Gu family actually has this method of falling asleep in one second?"
"Not just the Gu family, we all do."
Seeing Chongyun nodded, Xingqiu asked, "Is it easy to practice? Can ordinary people use it?"
"I know what you're thinking. This thing can't be promoted, and there's no point in promoting it."
Chongyun shook his head. "I remember that the people at Minlin seemed to have had this idea before, but the result was that it was either pirated the moment it was sold, or one person bought it and dozens of households took turns to watch it."
"In the end, they didn't even achieve the goal of improving the sect's reputation, and the sect's headmaster had to hold his nose and ask the authorities to help them catch those pirates."
…
Xingqiu was silent, then thought about Gu Sanqiu's style and the supernatural legend he had heard not long ago about "big trees eating people and ghosts carrying coffins."
Suddenly I felt that it was not unreasonable for the Gu family to become the leader of the Xuanmen.
“Chuckle, chuckle—”
"Why do you carry this thing?"
After daybreak, Xingqiu looked at Gu Sanqiu with a frown as he saw him pinching a rooster doll and making a rooster crowing sound from the doll.
"It's fun, because I was originally planning on keeping watch for the second half of the night, and then using this thing to wake you two up."
"But after thinking about it, I decided to give up. After all, this is not like Liyue Harbor. In a dangerous place, we must ensure the quality of sleep and mental state."
"Haha, thank you."
The corner of Xingqiu's mouth twitched.
"Let's not talk about this. Go to the cabin and get some fresh water to make breakfast."
Gu Sanqiu took out a small bag with a pink circular logo on it and a funny-looking belly button in the middle.
Item: Abyss White Sugar (Bag)
Source: Abyss World Dahong Sugar Company
Note: Don’t have any weird color prejudice like “there can only be brown sugar in the abyss”.
"Everyone get a bowl of sugar water in the morning... Chongyun, you can just chew it like shaved ice."
Gu Sanqiu distributed the entire bag of sugar: "The amount distributed can sustain a day of high-intensity activities. It's definitely a good thing."
"So amazing? Where did you buy it? Why have I never seen it before?"
"Yes, private channels, private customization."
There shouldn’t be a channel more personal than the Golden Finger…right?
Two hours later, Gu Sanqiu changed into shorts and short-sleeved shirts with green bamboo and sweet flowers printed on them, and held in his hand a cold drink made by Chongyun.
"So, there is still nothing to discover."
"Nonsense, but are you sure you don't want to help?"
Gu Sanqiu shrugged: "I don't have as much energy as you do. And the way you are looking for it, are you here to hunt for treasure or to do archaeology?"
From the beginning, Xingqiu did not let go of any possible "clues". His enthusiasm to dig deep into the ground successfully made Gu Sanqiu once again doubt his type of feelings for Chongyun.
However, there was nothing gained except some rusty weapons and tattered equipment whose origin and use could not be identified, so Gu Sanqiu found a place to change into this outfit.
Unexpectedly calm.
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"It's easy, just blast it and it's done."
Gu Sanqiu smiled and said, "If it is the kind of thing we are looking for, ordinary attacks will definitely not be able to do anything to it. This way we don't have to waste too much time. Don't you think so?"
“That seems to be true.”
Xingqiu reacted and realized that their target this time was something that might have retained a certain level of activity after thousands of years, not something they were here to write papers on the archaeology of ancient civilizations!
"Hurry up and come and help me. Let me see how capable you are, a person who is restricted from taking action in Liyue Harbor."
Gu Sanqiu glanced at Xingqiu and said, "I told you not to mention this anymore."
"Small Earthquake Technique."
Gu Sanqiu raised his foot and stomped down. The moment his foot landed, the entire island began to shake, leaves flew, and rocks rolled down, as if a giant had grabbed the island and was trying to shake it!
"Well, it seems not."
Giving a rather brilliant smile to Xingqiu and Chongyun who were staring at him, Gu Sanqiu threw the cold drink in his hand away.
"Change place."
