The apprentice always wants to kill me

Chapter 80

The two waited for a while after hearing the words, and saw that there was no other problem except that the stone platform was about to spray fire outside after a certain period of time.

Du Zhong took a closer look around and didn't see any clues. Seeing that there was nothing he needed, he greeted Dabai and took Gu Qingli back.

Du Zhong unconsciously touched his chin and chest again, feeling a little sticky and getting goosebumps all over his body.

He still remembered feeling someone pressing on him and licking him indiscriminately when he didn't know if it was a dream.

After Du Zhong calmed down and thought about it carefully, he felt that even if it was a spring dream, he should be pressing on others to lick and kiss, and there was absolutely no reason for the reverse.

He couldn't remember who that person was in his sleep, but he always slept with Gu Qingli.

For a moment, Eucommia unconsciously came up with a strange idea, whether it was a bold assumption or a random delusion.

It couldn't be Gu Qingli, could it?

Du Zhong silently and secretly looked at Gu Qingli all the way, but Gu Qingli just pretended he didn't see it, and remained indifferent as usual.

But Du Zhong still felt awkward, so he touched his chin again.

There was no stubble on his chin, and his skin was smooth and delicate, and he touched his chin twice, and couldn't resist touching his side face again.

Du Zhong squinted his eyes and heaved a sigh of relief, thinking: I know I am handsome, but I shouldn't be so handsome that people can't even distinguish between men and women.

He pondered for a moment, and then suddenly asked tentatively: "Qingli, you are already old and young, have you considered the matter of men and women?"

Gu Qingli paused for a moment when he heard the words: "Master, have you considered it?"

Du Zhong shook his head: "Not yet. Our life was chaotic before, but we are gradually getting more stable. You should think about it when you have free time."

"En." Gu Qingli responded with lowered eyes, "I've been a disciple of Master for nearly 20 years, why have I never seen Master consider this matter?"

Hearing this, Du Zhong licked his cheeks, forced a smile hesitantly, and said perfunctorily, "I haven't seen any suitable one yet."

Gu Qingli didn't intend to ask any more, but Dabai's teaching really took root in his heart.

Say a few more words about everything, and naturally ask a few more questions when you have questions.

He then asked again: "Master, but you already have someone you can't dream of?"

Du Zhong looked back at him, frowned lightly, a little confused: "Why do you have so many ideas? I was just a stinky old man before, and I didn't put much thought into it."

Although Du Zhong didn't know how the topic turned to this place, he still thought about it according to Gu Qingli's words, and comforted him: "Don't worry about this, even if I marry a wife and have children, you will always be my apprentice."

Gu Qingli frowned, but Du Zhong had already quickened his pace silently, not giving him a chance to continue discussing this topic.

He hadn't seen one and probably never would have had one that fit.

Although Eucommia has a gentle and amiable face, his behavior and habits have always given people a sense of abstinence.

He is not as lustful as ordinary men, and he never flirts with flamboyance. He treats the opposite sex with extra politeness and never oversteps.

It's not because he is inhuman, but because in the most private part of his heart, he can't accept being close to another person to the level of husband and wife.

The scene of his parents dying together when he was a child is still vivid in his mind, and even after another 30 years, he will never forget it.

From that moment on, no matter how well-spoken he was on the surface, how amiable and likable he looked, he had become a withdrawn person.

When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Eucommia knows this truth best.

The same is true for people. When two people are truly intimate, the biggest gap has already begun to arise.

This is called extremes.

He raised Gu Qingli with his own hands, eating and living together all these years has already made him feel like a social animal, and Gu Qingli is also the person who can comfort his soul and give him the feeling of family.

Du Zhong took a deep breath, slowed down again, raised his eyes to look at Gu Qingli, and said in a low voice: "You have to remember that I am your master, which means that no matter where your life is in the future, as long as you need me , I will not leave you alone when you come back to find me."

Lu Qingli followed behind him silently and did not respond. Although this sounded good, it was not what he wanted.

The two of them didn't discuss this any more, but after they went back, they both subconsciously avoided each other slightly, but they both thought that they were taking the initiative to distance themselves.

The two of them lived like this for three days, and the altar on the stone platform outside was no longer spraying fire every once in a while, and the tall flame that spewed out from its platform could not be extinguished no matter what.

Finally, in the afternoon of that day, the stone platform could no longer withstand the continuous scorching fire, and it was shattered to pieces. The stones mixed with stone powder were carried up into the sky by the pillar of fire, splashing everywhere, making great noise.

The darkness under the stone platform cut off the line of sight, and I don't know if it is a deep pit or something else, but as long as you get close, you will feel the scalding heat.

Seeing this, Dabai frowned, and after chatting with others, he rolled up his sleeves, stared at the dark round tunnel and said, "Master Xuan Ye was sent in by me at the time, and now that the altar is broken, it should be done." I'm going to check it out."

She was about to jump down after speaking, but was stopped by Gu Qingli.Gu Qingli frowned and looked at it for a moment, then said: "No need, he has already come up."

When Dabai heard the words, he looked down again suspiciously, several people stood there waiting for less than a cup of tea, and saw that the originally dark hole began to change color.

At first, there was only a red spot in the center, and then there was a bird song, and the red spot spread extremely quickly, and finally turned into a pool of bubbling magma.

Seeing this, Dabai raised his eyebrows, but luckily Gu Qingli stopped her just now, otherwise she would have jumped into this pool of magma.

Gu Qingli grabbed Du Zhong's cuff: "Stand back."

As soon as he finished speaking this time, a big bubble popped up in the magma pool, and there seemed to be something struggling to get out of the big bubble, revealing its huge shape as the big bubble expanded.

Seeing this, the people around quickly backed away, and the things in the bubble kept screaming, and finally the big bubble burst, and magma splashed all around.

The thing inside finally broke free. It was wrapped in magma and was in the shape of a bird. It flapped its wings and carried the magma twice, and flew into the sky with a loud cry.

It was still dripping with magma, it didn't look like it was stained on its body, but it seemed to be melting, where the magma dripped from the flapping of its wings, the fresh grass instantly turned into black ash, and the The demon cultivator screamed and dodged immediately.

It was flying too fast just now, and Du Zhong was standing too far away, so he couldn't see it clearly, so he asked, "Who is this?"

Gu Qingli shook his head: "I didn't see clearly either. It might be Xuan Ye, or it might be his bird."

Du Zhong asked again: "Then how did he come out?"

Dabai replied: "It may be that space debris fell into it when the stone collapsed, and he came out after being roasted by the fire."

Several people looked up together for a while, and saw the magma-covered thing circling in circles for a few more times, then seemed to suddenly realize where they were, and sped up and flapped their wings to fly away.

Gu Qingli said: "Master, let's quickly follow it and see where it is going."

Du Zhong responded, and Gu Qingli jumped up from the ground with a long groan, circling in mid-air, Du Zhong and Dabai immediately got up and jumped onto his back.

Seeing that they were all sitting still, Gu Qingli flicked his mane and followed closely behind the bird in front.

It didn't fly towards the border barrier, but towards a more central area.It didn't fly very far, and when it reached the high tower in the center, it stopped and began to circle around the steeple.

The bird-like thing was still dripping with freshly melted magma, and when it circled the tower, the magma dripping from its body fell all over the ground.

It was daytime at this time, and there were many demon cultivators on the side of the tower who were out and about, cursing and dodging around.

After following it around for a circle, Gu Qingli used his claws to wrap himself around the tower.

The bird's body melted even faster, shooting out dazzling orange-red like viscous liquid, which flowed around the shape of the body as it moved.

But it didn't stop, flying faster and faster as the body exploded and collapsed.

Du Zhong asked, "What is it doing?"

Gu Qingli stared at it and shook his beard. After a moment of silence, he replied: "Probably looking for an inheritance place that can revive it."

He stopped when he finished speaking.Dabai tilted his head and didn't answer, probably because he didn't know, and seeing that he stopped talking, he asked: "And then?"

Gu Qingli turned his eyes and glanced at Du Zhong, Du Zhong touched his scales before he shook his head and hesitated:

"Each ethnic group has its own heritage site or mass burial site, and more or less records will be left. Their ethnic group has very few records about these, and even if there is, it is unclear, not because the place where it exists is hidden , but because it is not fixed at all.”
