Chapter 365: Can't Be a Salted Fish
Ten years passed in a flash.
Gu Zhifei felt her nose itchy. She opened her eyes and saw a child lying beside her bed, holding a dogtail grass in his hand.
She didn't know this child, but she felt that he looked familiar.
She wanted to sit up, but found her back was numb and sore, perhaps because she had been lying down for too long.
So she gently turned over and looked at the pink child. She couldn't help but smile and asked, "What's your name?"
The child answered happily: "My name is Hua Shao, Auntie."
Hua Shao?
Gu Zhifei felt that there were quite a few people around him with the surname Hua, including his senior sister, Wuya, and now a little boy.
So her voice became softer: "Whose child are you? Where are your parents?"
The child answered her honestly, "Dad is in seclusion, and Mom and my aunt went to pick nectar in the morning, saying that they want to heal your brain."
Gu Zhifei: “.”
Forget it, she doesn't like this kid anymore.
What does it mean to cure her brain? When did her brain become defective? How come she didn't know it? Gu Zhifei looked at the child and wanted to ignore him, but seeing his cute eyes wide open, he couldn't bear to do it.
She said, "Little kid, don't talk nonsense. Who taught you this?"
She was certain that such a cute child would never say such disgusting words, and someone must have taught him bad things.
The child answered seriously: "It's Grandpa!"
Gu Zhifei thought to himself, "As expected," he said in a gentle and persuasive way, "You can't listen to your grandfather. He is lying to you."
The child nodded, took out a chicken leg from his pocket, tore off a piece with his teeth, and nodded to Gu Zhifei:
"Aunt, you are right!"
Looking at the chicken leg, Gu Zhifei felt it looked even more familiar.
Wait? Chicken drumstick? Grandpa? Aunt? Gu Zhifei stared at the child blankly, and felt that there were indeed shadows of Guang Shubai and Hua Xixia in his eyes and eyebrows.
"What are your parents' names?" Gu Zhifei looked at the child expectantly.
The child didn't have any complicated thoughts and answered honestly, "My mother's name is Xixia and my father's name is Shubai."
Okay, it’s confirmed.
Although Gu Zhifei didn't understand why she woke up with a nephew, what could she do? She couldn't stop people from having children, could she? "I'll go call my mother and brother!"
The child didn't know what he was thinking of, and suddenly he said excitedly:
"Mom! Brother! Grandpa! Aunt! My aunt is awake! My aunt is awake!"
"Mom! Brother! Grandpa! Aunt!"
"My aunt, wake up, wake up."
With a plop, Gu Zhifei heard a loud noise. It was probably because the child ran too fast and fell to the ground.
Then he burst into tears with a "wow".
Gu Zhifei covered his face.
This child has completely inherited Hua Xixia's genes, the mother and child are exactly the same.
Gu Zhifei heard the child crying and could only jump off the bed.
Just as she was about to go out, the child's crying stopped, and Gu Zhifei heard a familiar voice: "I told you to run around again, and you always refuse to sit still. Didn't I tell you to wait, and mother will be here soon?"
Gu Zhifei always felt that she had not slept for long, but when she heard Hua Xixia's familiar voice, she felt a little confused.
It does seem like a long time has passed.
It was so long that when she saw Hua Xixia and Hua Wuya outside the door, she even felt that their faces looked a little unfamiliar.
Hua Xixia held back her tears and covered her mouth. Hua Wuya just stared at Gu Zhifei without saying a word.
Instead, it was Gu Zhifei who spoke first, smiling, "Long time no see."
Hua Wuya took two steps forward and hugged her.
Gu Zhifei patted her shoulder and asked them, "How is Kunlun Sect doing now?"
Hua Xixia glared at her, but Hua Wuya directly expressed her inner thoughts: "You asked about Kunlun Sect right away, why don't you ask us?"
Gu Zhifei smiled: "Aren't you all fine here? Ah Shao has already told me just now, I know you are all fine."
"You seem to be confused after sleeping." Hua Wuya snorted, "Don't you even look at where you are now?"
Through the shoulders of several people, Gu Zhifei finally saw the scenery outside and knew at a glance that this place was not a sacred mountain.
But logically speaking, if she was injured and recuperating, she should have been in Lingshan.
This place doesn't look like her residence in Qixingmen either.
"This is Kunlun Sect."
Hua Xixia spoke, knowing that if she continued to observe like Gu Zhifei did, she would never know where this place was in her lifetime.
"Ever since you fell asleep, the entire Kunlun Sect has fallen into a state of being without a leader. Taoist Qingyuan originally had a long life, but he would have died early due to this incident. But because you mobilized the rules of heaven and earth, he has the opportunity to reincarnate."
Gu Zhifei nodded: "This is a good thing."
"What good news?" Hua Xixia complained, "They drank happily, but it was hard for us. We had to watch them drunk every day. It was hard to say anything or not."
It turned out that Master Qingming had found his junior fellow apprentice and brought him up by his side, and he grew up with Hua Xixia's eldest son.
However, he still had the memories of his previous reincarnation and was unwilling to be a child. He spent the whole day hanging out with Master Qingming.
Gu Zhifei just chuckled when he heard her complain, without making any comment.
In fact, she thought it was a good thing.
Zhenren Qingyuan has already had an experience of cultivation, so he will be much faster than a real cultivator in both getting started and practicing.
So Gu Zhifei was not worried that the two guys would get drunk.
Her only worry was that these two stubborn guys wouldn't lead the children astray.
"You woke up just in time." Hua Wuya felt her pulse and slowly injected spiritual energy into her body. "Take a look at your current strength."
Gu Zhifei didn't feel anything at first, but after Hua Wuya reminded her, she realized that she had undergone a tremendous change from before.
She has already reached the Nascent Soul stage.
All in all, she is less than 40 years old now, but she has already reached the Nascent Soul stage.
If this were to be made public, she would probably become the most sought-after cultivator in the entire cultivation world.
Gu Zhifei was not too excited.
Her promotion was almost entirely based on blood. Ever since Elder Yinxing died for a righteous cause, people kept leaving her.
Without them carrying the burden forward, how could we be where we are today?
She is very aware of her own level.
As they were talking, Master Qingming came in after hearing the news. He looked at Gu Zhifei and saw that she looked very good, and he finally felt relieved.
He said to Hua Wuya:
"I told you, little girl, you don't believe me. I told you that she is fine. She will wake up naturally after a good sleep."
Hua Wuya ignored him.
She took out a document from her storage bag and sighed:
"Fortunately you woke up, otherwise I don't know what to do about this matter."
Gu Zhifei was puzzled. He took the document and took a quick look at it.
Basically it means that a beast tide is coming, and it is hoped that all sects will be best prepared.
The last beast tide happened more than 300 years ago, and the damage caused was enormous. In order to protect the civilians this time, all the heads of the sects and the heads of the families gave their ideas, but none of them were satisfactory.
Hua Wuya has always been in favor of war, and facing the beast tide, she only suggested suppressing it.
Anyway, she can contribute her fighting power, so it doesn't matter what others think.
Fighting violence with violence has always been her way of dealing with people.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Moreover, Gu Zhifei had not woken up yet, which made her even more irritated. She really needed a place to vent her anger.
But now that Gu Zhifei has woken up, she is no longer so eager to fight.
After all, my sister still needs someone to accompany her. If she really faces the beast tide head-on, I will not have time to stay in Kunlun Sect to accompany my sister.
She finally woke up, and she might leave again after a while. I don’t know when I will see her next time.
Thinking of this, Hua Wuya threw the matter to Gu Zhifei without any psychological burden.
Gu Zhifei also followed her instructions and accepted it.
She asked Hua Wuya: "What do you think?"
Hua Wuya smiled: "I think what my sister thinks."
It seemed like an answer, but also like no answer.
Gu Zhifei rolled her eyes at her. She finally understood that Hua Wuya was planning to make her do free labor again.
"I don't recommend a fight."
Gu Zhifei expressed his thoughts: "Fighting is certainly satisfying, but have you ever thought that most of the battlefields with monsters are in the secular world. Once a war breaks out, we cultivators will not be in any trouble. The most pitiful ones are the powerless civilians.
The lucky ones may be able to survive, but the unlucky ones may not even have a bone left in this battle."
Hua Wuya didn't listen carefully at all, but that didn't stop her from thinking that Gu Zhifei was right.
"Moreover, even if they are lucky enough to survive, fighting with the monsters will inevitably destroy their houses and land. This is a fatal blow to ordinary farmers."
Hua Wuya nodded: "Yes, you are right, then let's not fight."
Seeing her speaking in a gentle and reasonable manner, Master Qingming and Hua Xixia beside her thought that they were probably dazzled.
A few days ago, Hua Wuya had made detailed arrangements to raid the monster's lair because Gu Zhifei had not opened his eyes for ten years and was going crazy.
Now, he never mentioned the deployment and even agreed with Gu Zhifei's idea of peace.
You know, some time ago, she would throw anyone who talked to her about peace out of the window.
Gu Zhifei continued to speak: "But not fighting is not a long-term solution. If we keep giving in, we will completely lose the initiative."
Hua Wuya nodded and continued to praise: "Sister, what you said is very true. I have a strategy here, do you want to listen to it, Sister?"
Gu Zhifei was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No need. I decided to talk to the Beast King first. Let's see what his bottom line is."
Hua Wuya nodded: "Sister, what you said is very true. So what do you say?"
Her eyes widened.
"I'm going to negotiate with the monster."
This time, Hua Wuya couldn't say a single good word. She looked at Gu Zhifei and felt that some people had called her a lunatic a few days ago, but now it seemed that Gu Zhifei was the one.
Negotiate with the monsters? Those who wanted to do this in the past have all turned into ashes!
"I don't agree."
Hua Wuya voiced his first objection today: "This is too dangerous. I don't agree with you doing this."
Since Gu Zhifei had thought about this, she had never considered changing it. Moreover, she dared to propose this idea because she was certain about it.
"I am an old acquaintance of the Monster King, so perhaps we still have some face. You don't have to worry about me. Besides, I will bring Zhu Jiuyin with me. He has a say among the monsters."
"Then I want to come along." Hua Wuya continued, "I want to go with you."
Gu Zhifei was helpless: "I am already in the Nascent Soul stage, and I can come and go freely even among monsters. Besides, Zhu Jiuyin is also a Nascent Soul monster. If you are added, are we going to fight or negotiate?"
Hua Wuya was filled with resentment. For the first time, he felt that having too high a cultivation level was not a good thing.
If I had known earlier that she would have gone a little insane during this period and lowered her cultivation level, maybe I would have had a chance to accompany her.
"If you must go, use the water mirror spell before leaving." said Master Qingming.
The water mirror spell that Master Qingming mentioned here is not the spell used by ordinary cultivators to spy on objects, but a high-level spell that can transfer objects.
If this water mirror is used to a certain extent, it can even carry people to their destination.
This is exactly the idea that Master Qingming had.
With Gu Zhifei's current cultivation level, it is not difficult for her to use such a spell. She agreed to Master Qingming's proposal and gave Hua Wuya a reassurance:
"Don't worry. Although you can't communicate with me directly, there are other ways. If you are brave enough, why not stay in my storage bag first? If there is any trouble, you can come out to support me at any time."
After listening to it, Hua Wuya felt that this proposal was the most prudent, so he did not object to Gu Zhifei's idea of negotiating with the Monster King.
Putting aside other things, even if they cannot defeat the Monster King, there will be no problem for the two of them to escape.
As for Zhu Jiuyin, it doesn't matter to that guy. If he is made into dragon meat patties, it's because of his lack of strength.
Hua Wuya thought to himself.
There are still more than ten days before the estimated beast tide, so we can still do some other things.
Gu Zhifei played with Hua Xixia's two children for a few days, and then went to the valley to check on Guang Shubai who was in seclusion.
Hua Xixia said: "Maybe your previous strength stimulated him. After you fell asleep, he went into seclusion to practice. It has been about three months now."
Three months? Gu Zhifei was puzzled. In the past, Guang Shubai never took classes seriously.
His goal is to be a salted fish.
But now, his dream of being a salted fish has been shattered.
His life and Hua Wuya's life depend on him alone. He must practice hard to reach the expected value.
Otherwise, what is the significance of the short one hundred years for a cultivator to build his foundation?
"Brother, have you been in seclusion for a long time?" Gu Zhifei still recognized Hua Xixia as his master.
"Yeah." Hua Xixia responded, "It's probably uploaded too."
Gu Zhifei nodded, thinking that he might not be able to wait for Guang Shubai to come out. He didn't know how long it would take, and he couldn't say what kind of Brother-Looking Stone he would become.
Gu Zhifei thought about it and took out the Kunlun Sect’s leader seal from his storage bag.
