Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 277: Love is the knife in my hand!
When the Soul-Devouring Sect's protective formation was completed, the construction of the cultivation city also came to an end.
Compared to Gu Xiaoxing, Master Bai was the one who truly devoted all his energy, working day and night, leading a group of disciples and elders of the sect, and in the midst of intensive work, a city rose from the ground!
At this moment, in the semicircle formed by the Nine Bends Mountain, there stood a huge city. This city was different from other cities. It had no city walls, because the Nine Bends Mountain formation was the best city wall. It only had one city gate, which was the semicircular gap!
This city is very large, with a length and width of more than dozens of miles. There are various buildings in the city, such as pavilions, high towers, curved bridges, and bluestone paved roads. There are all kinds of shops and business areas, as well as sightseeing and entertainment areas, and even residential and leisure areas...
In short, basically all the facilities that a normal city has are available here. To be able to achieve such a level within twenty days, one can imagine how much effort Master Bai put in. It is also thanks to Master Bai's perfect Jindan cultivation, as well as the fact that many foundation-building and Qi-condensing cultivators worked day and night together.
If a mortal wanted to build a city of this magnitude, even with the whole country's efforts, it would probably take decades.
Now, there are only ten days left until the Soul Devouring Sect's city opening ceremony, and the city construction has finally come to the final stage. Among these, the most important things are undoubtedly three!
The first and most important thing is to determine the name of the city.
Second, it is also very important to customize the rules of the city. Without rules, there will be no order. Where there are people, there must be rules.
As for the third point, it is to establish a city lord. Compared with the first two points, this point is not so important. Anyway, the entire city is under the control of their Soul-Devouring Sect. The so-called city lord is mainly for the convenience of management.
Originally, Gu Xiaoxing had to participate in these matters, but he really couldn't sit still. In the end, Master Bai got tired of him, so he simply gave him another matter.
At this moment, Gu Xiaoxing was staying in his own practice cave, with a thoughtful look in his eyes. Suddenly, he slapped his thigh.
“Got it!!”
This sudden shout scared Xiao Zhuhuo, who was making tea for his uncle, so much that he almost spilled the tea in his hand.
As for Xu Qianxing, she was not here. She went to the city to help diligently. She was not like someone who always wanted to be lazy.
"Um?"
Gu Xiaoxing looked at Xiao Zhuhuo suspiciously. He always felt that she looked a little strange, and she seemed to be guilty no matter how he looked at her.
When Zhu Huo saw his uncle coming, he quickly handed him a cup of tea and asked respectfully, "Uncle, have you thought of anything?"
Gu Xiaoxing took the tea, but he no longer looked at the candlelight. Instead, he just stared at the cup in his hand and drank slowly. His voice suddenly became serious, and he said, "Go ahead."
"Say...what?" Xiao Zhuhuo was stunned for a moment. All kinds of strange noises that he overheard yesterday suddenly emerged in his mind, and he suddenly felt very panicked.
Could it be that Master-Uncle already... knows?
Gu Xiaoxing then looked at her seriously, thinking that he should take this opportunity to make some things clear to her and put an end to her thoughts as soon as possible.
Gu Xiaoxing wanted to be stern, but Zhuhuo was just a little girl after all, and he couldn't bear to see her too sad, so he sighed and said, "You are... not right!"
When Xiao Zhuhuo heard this, her delicate body immediately trembled. She thought that her master uncle really knew about it. She immediately knelt down and sobbed, "Xiao Zhuhuo will never dare to do that again !"
Seeing her reaction, Gu Xiaoxing was also stunned for a moment, then put down the teacup, stepped forward to help her up, and said in a lighter : "I don't mean to blame you...!"
"ah……?!"
Little Candle Fire looked at his uncle foolishly and was deeply moved for a moment. He thought that his uncle was so good to him. He made such a big mistake and eavesdropped on that kind of thing, but his uncle didn't even blame him!
Gu Xiaoxing looked at Xiao Zhuhuo's expression and knew that it was impossible to persuade her to turn back from her wrong path. Once the roots of love were planted, if she was forced to get rid of them, she would be heartbroken and it would harm her instead.
"Forget it, in order to prevent this little girl from suffering such heartbreak, let nature take its course."
Thinking of this, Gu Xiaoxing's heart softened a little, but he still had to say what he had to say.
So he straightened his face and said, "Master Uncle asks you, do you know...what love is?"
What is love?
Xiao Zhuhuo was stunned at first, then immediately became nervous. He lowered his head, not daring to look at his uncle's eyes. He hesitated for a long time but could not answer.
Gu Xiaoxing looked at her, sighed again, and said, "Follow me."
After saying this, Gu Xiaoxing stood up and walked out of the cave where he practiced .
Xiao Zhuhuo didn't know what his uncle wanted to do, so he had to follow him.
Just as he walked out of the gate, Gu Xiaoxing stopped again, suddenly pointed to a crack in the stone in front of the gate, and said: "Love is the grass in the crack; love is the drop of dew on the grass in the morning; love is the light and shadow intertwined under the grass under the sunshine."
Having said that, Gu Xiaoxing turned to look at Xiao Zhuhuo and said, "Now, do you understand?"
Xiao Zhuhuo looked at the grass, then looked at his uncle's meaningful gaze, his mind became more and more confused, and he shook his head almost subconsciously.
Gu Xiaoxing saw her expression and shook his head, then patted her head and said, "If you don't understand, then think about it slowly. When you figure it out, we can talk about it. Uncle Master will go to do business first."
After saying that, Gu Xiaoxing left immediately and disappeared in an instant, leaving only Zhuhuo standing blankly in front of the door of the cultivation cave.
The candlelight stood there for a long time, her eyes fixed on the grass in the crevice of the stone. The expression in her eyes kept changing, and it was obvious that she was thinking hard, trying to understand what her uncle-master said.
Above, a lonely little star was hidden high in the sky, silently watching the small candle flame below.
Of course, what he said just now was just nonsense made up by Gu Xiaoxing. How could he understand what love is? He himself is confused.
The reason she said this was just to temporarily dispel the idea of candlelight. After all, she was still young and ignorant about this aspect.
This is also to let her think carefully. Maybe if she thinks more, she will figure it out and won't have some strange thoughts anymore.
Gu Xiaoxing was thinking this and was about to leave when he saw the small candle flame below suddenly move.
Her eyes flickered slightly, and then she raised her hand and took out a knife. Gu Xiaoxing was stunned and wondered what this little girl wanted to do.
Then, Xiao Zhuhuo slashed the grass twice, removing all the grass, even the roots in the cracks of the rocks.
After the roots of the problem were eradicated, Little Candlelight nodded in satisfaction, looked at his hands, and murmured softly.
"Love is the knife in my hand, clearing away all the weeds, with only my uncle in my heart!"
Xiao Zhuhuo's extremely firm words almost made Gu Xiaoxing fall from the sky.
In the end, he covered his face and left, thinking that this girl was beyond help!
