Gu Qingxi only knew that the child was called Qu Feixuan. Qu Feixuan herself didn't remember who her parents were or where she came from. The only thing she remembered was her name. In fact, she was already seven years old, but because of long-term wandering and malnutrition, she looked like she was four or five years old.
Gu Qingxi checked Qu Feixuan's spiritual roots and found that she was a mutant thunder spiritual root. Such talent made Gu Qingxi very happy. But Gu Qingxi didn't immediately propose to accept a disciple.
She has always been very cautious and strict in accepting disciples. Accepting disciples not only depends on a person's talent, but also on character.
Although Qu Feixuan is still young, Gu Qingxi has always believed that a person's character should be innate and acquired. Some people are born bad, and no matter how they are shaped and educated, they will not change. Then she must definitely exclude such people.
This is why Gu Qingxi is very cautious in accepting disciples.
Gu Qingxi settled down in the nearest town with Qu Feixuan. She booked a room in the best inn in the town, and then lived with Qu Feixuan.
After washing, Qu Feixuan put on a beautiful little skirt, braided her hair, and became a lovely little girl with fair skin. But she was too thin and needed to be supplemented.
During this time, she taught Qu Feixuan to read, taught her the principles of dealing with people, fed her small meals a day, and vowed to raise this child to be white and plump.
On this day, Gu Qingxi tied Qu Feixuan's hair into two buns.
Qu Feixuan touched the two round buns on her head curiously. A few days ago, there were two small braids, but today it seemed different.
"Don't pinch it. It will be very troublesome if you pinch it loose and then tie it again." Gu Qingxi smiled and warned.
"Well, don't pinch it." Qu Feixuan put her hand down immediately after hearing this. She was afraid that she would make Gu Qingxi unhappy if she was not careful.
Qu Feixuan was very well-behaved and very dependent on Gu Qingxi.
No matter
where Gu Qingxi went, she followed.
There were two beds in this room. Every night, after Gu Qingxi gave Qu Feixuan a bath, she would tuck her into bed. Qu Feixuan would behave very well and obediently, and would sleep under the quilt seriously.
But when Gu Qingxi fell asleep, she would secretly climb down from her bed and run to Gu Qingxi's bed. Afraid of waking up Gu Qingxi, she still curled up at the foot of the bed, carefully got into the quilt, and then fell asleep contentedly.
In fact, Gu Qingxi noticed when Qu Feixuan got up, but she didn't make a sound, wanting to see what this child was going to do. As a result, she got into her quilt. After
a few days, Gu Qingxi lost her temper. After giving Qu Feixuan a bath at night, she would tuck her into her quilt. Then she saw Qu Feixuan's beautiful big eyes looking at her brightly.
Forget it, this child has no sense of security, so let's sleep like this for now. Gu Qingxi thought in a compromised manner.
After Gu Qingxi was sure of Qu Feixuan's character, Gu Qingxi proposed to take her in as a disciple.
When Qu Feixuan heard what Gu Qingxi said, she was not surprised, nor did she ask. Instead, she knelt down and began to kowtow. "Master, I bow to you."
Gu Qingxi felt pain when she heard the sound of Qu Feixuan's forehead hitting the ground, and quickly pulled her up. How could this child be so honest? I'm afraid she doesn't even know what master means?
"Do you know what master means?" Gu Qingxi asked while gently rubbing Qu Feixuan's forehead, which was red from kowtow.
Qu Feixuan nodded, "I know, it means that once you become a master, you will be a father for life. I can be with my master forever." She had overheard the storytellers talking about the master and apprentice outside the teahouse, so she said it in the same way. Of course, the second sentence was
added by her own selfishness. She didn't want to be separated from the fairy, even if she died.
So after hearing what Gu Qingxi said, she didn't have time to be happy, but wanted to firmly grasp this light first. She had an intuition in her heart that as long as she became a master, her wish would come true.
Gu Qingxi smiled and said, "Yes, if you become my apprentice, it will be a lifelong thing. I will teach you everything I know."
Qu Feixuan did not have a very clear concept of the word "master" at this time. She only knew that she would no longer have to worry about being abandoned, and she would no longer have to survive alone.
She held Gu Qingxi's legs and smiled brightly. All the hardships she had suffered before, at this moment, felt worth it.
After Gu Qingxi accepted Qu Feixuan as his apprentice, he checked out of the inn, took Qu Feixuan out of the city gate, and then held her and flew up on the sword.
Qu Feixuan's eyes widened, and she kept screaming in her heart that the master was indeed a god. The master can fly! The master is a god who came to save her!
Gu Qingxi took Qu Feixuan and flew westward. Not far away, he stopped and slowly descended.
Qu Feixuan saw the village below clearly and nervously grabbed Gu Qingxi's clothes.
It was the people in this village who caught her and wanted to throw her into the river as a sacrifice.
"Master, the people here are all bad guys." Qu Feixuan's body trembled a little, and her face turned pale. Obviously, she remembered the bad memories after being caught.
Gu Qingxi touched Qu Feixuan's head and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, Master is here."
Gu Qingxi's words instantly calmed Qu Feixuan's heart.
Yes, with Master here, no one can hurt her! Master is a god! He can kill those bad guys.
Gu Qingxi flew around the village with her sword,
attracted the attention of the villagers, and then landed amid the exclamations of the villagers.
"Fairy!"
"Greetings to the fairy!"
Many villagers ran to the head of the village, and after seeing Gu Qingxi, they knelt down and worshiped.
Qu Feixuan frowned at these people and nervously grabbed Gu Qingxi's clothes. Then she found that none of the villagers recognized her. Even after kneeling to worship the master, they also knelt to worship her, and called out "Greetings to the fairy".
Qu Feixuan's eyes suddenly widened. Something in her world seemed to have suddenly changed.
Gu Qingxi did not call these villagers to stand up, but asked calmly, "I heard that in your village, a child is thrown into the river as a sacrifice every five years, in order to pray for good weather and good harvests?" The
villagers kneeling on the ground looked at each other secretly, and then the leading villager carefully answered Gu Qingxi's words, "Fairy, this is not the case. How could we do such a cruel thing?"
Of course, Gu Qingxi saw through their brows and knew that the other party was not telling her the truth.
"Because you don't want to sacrifice your own children, you go out and steal other people's children." Gu Qingxi's voice was like ice. She came here to do some research. She met Qu Feixuan by chance, saved Qu Feixuan, and learned about the sacrifice. She has been investigating the affairs of this village for the past few days. After
finding out what happened in the village, Gu Qingxi felt sick. Human nature can sometimes be so ugly and terrible.
The people in this village are ignorant and backward, lazy, stupid and vicious. They never work hard, but expect cruel sacrifices to bring them rich rewards. Because they don't want to send their own children to be sacrificed, they find ways to steal children from other places. Beggars and street children are their targets.
Before she deals with these people, what she wants to know most is who is responsible for this cruel sacrifice.
