Ji Shi

Wen Gu glanced over the chandelier indifferently, "How about eating pickled rice tonight?"

Zhong Shihuang couldn't keep up with his thoughts for a while: "What?"

Wen Gu said: "Vegetables and rice. Stir the rice and vegetables together and add some water."

Zhong Shihuang stared at his eyes, trying to find a trace of waves in his calm eyes: "...OK."

Wen Gu nodded, walked two steps and then turned back, looking at the chandelier flying up strangely: "Bring the lamp back, and clean up the living room."

Dinner was very quiet.

The taste of pickled rice was very strange, Wen Gu frowned while watching Zhong Shihuang's reaction.

Zhong Shihuang was obviously absent-minded, not to mention the weird-tasting vegetable pickled rice, even if there were stones and gold nuggets in the bowl, he probably would have eaten it without changing his face.

Wen Gu said, "It's my first time doing it."

Zhong Shihuang looked up at him, smiled, brought the spoon closer to his mouth, and slowly pushed it between his lips.

"..." Wen Gu stuffed the rest of the meal into his mouth in two or three bites, and stood up, "You wash the dishes."

Zhong Shihuang looked at his back as he walked away in a hurry, his smile was restrained, his forehead was covered with clouds.He realized something was wrong with his situation.Since his grandfather passed away, he has been completely immersed in extreme grief and anger, with nowhere to vent.Zhao Shuqing is like the last sunshine, shining on his life.Only when he confirms that he is by his side can his emotions be relieved for a moment.But Zhao Shuqing's evasive attitude turned this relief into a drug, sometimes excited, sometimes empty, sometimes calm, sometimes excited.

He threw the spoon out suddenly, and the sound of shattering porcelain pieces calmed down the inexplicable anger in his chest.

"The splinters of the spoon are easy to cut." An abrupt voice appeared from the kitchen door.

Zhong Shihuang suddenly stood up, watching Wen Gu who suddenly appeared vigilantly.

Wen Gu stroked his white beard: "I'm sorry about your grandpa."

Zhong Shihuang glared at him, and sneered, "Really? I thought you would tell me that life and death are determined by fate and wealth, and that today's death is for tomorrow's rebirth, so let me mourn."

"...if you can feel better, that's true."

"My grandpa is dead, I don't have a grandpa. This is how I feel now!" Zhong Shihuang growled.

Wen Gu was silent.

"What are you here for?"

"Fulfill our agreement."

Zhong Shihuang was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and immediately frowned: "Tell me honestly, did you arrange for Grandpa's death? In order for me to fulfill my promise as soon as possible, I arranged this murder!"

Wen Gu said: "For me, there is not much difference between three years and 30 years."

Zhong Shihuang trembled: "Then why not let him live another 30 years?"

Wen Gu said: "This matter is not up to me."

"Then who? Who is in charge of the fate of mankind? Who gave it such power?!" He overturned the table and punched the stove.

"You promised me." Wen Gu said quietly.

"I want to repent!"

"Why?"

Zhong Shihuang originally wanted to say that my previous promise was just an expedient measure, but it was just to perfunctory you, but the warm and caring eyes touched his heart, and the inexplicable sense of familiarity made him unable to speak ill of each other, and the words came out very honestly , "I have reasons for not wanting to leave."

Wen Gu said, "What reason?"

"none of your business?"

"If you don't tell me, how can I help you?"

Zhong Shihuang was stunned, and said with a sneer, "You help me? How can you help me? I want to get married and have children, will you help me too?"

Wen Gu asked calmly, "Who?"

"What do you ask this for?" Zhong Shihuang was fully armed like a hedgehog, "What do you want to do?"

Wen Gu said: "A cultivator can have a Taoist companion."

"What do you mean?"

"You can cultivate immortals together." Wen Gu said softly: "After cultivating immortals, you can transcend life and death forever."

Zhong Shihuang stayed for a long while, the hostility in his chest slowly dissipated, and he said pleasantly, "How long will it take to repair?"

"It depends on your qualifications."

"It's our aptitude." Zhong Shihuang retorted unhappily.

Wen Gu said, "I have confidence in him."

Zhong Shihuang narrowed his eyes and said, "Do you know who he is?"

Wen Gu avoided his gaze uncomfortably: "I am a fairy."

Zhong Shihuang said: "How to practice?"

Seeing that he agreed, Wen Gu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Before I became an immortal, I was a disciple of Yuanyang Zhengzong, and I studied under Yuanyang Zhengzong's founder Yunyang Taoist..."

"Wait." Zhong Shihuang interrupted him, "I'll call Shuqing, let's learn together." Without waiting for an answer, he excitedly ran to the guest room and knocked on the door.

Wen Gu: "..."

When Wen Gu opened the door, Zhong Shihuang grabbed his arm: "Shuqing, we can be together forever, and no one can separate us again."

Wen Gu pretended to be surprised and said, "Why... why did you say this all of a sudden?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to live forever? Now you have a chance." Zhong Shihuang chuckled and licked his lips, "I spoke too hastily. Don't you want to know about me and that fairy? Actually , he is an immortal, he has come to me many times, and wants to save me from becoming an immortal, I agreed to him, but I have to wait for Grandpa... He just came to me again and promised to let you practice with me. Are you willing? "He looked at him anxiously.

Wen Gu blinked and said, "Are you serious?"

"Really, you can live forever after cultivating immortality. You don't believe me?"

"No, I'm a little surprised."

Seeing that he didn't object, Zhong Shihuang dragged him to the kitchen, "I'll take you there... Where is he? He was here just now."

Wen Gu scratched his neck: "Will you leave beforehand?"

Zhong Shihuang frowned and said, "Then we should say hello."

Wen Gu said: "Didn't you say that he came to you many times? He should come again."

Zhong Shihuang said: "Do you trust me?"

"of course."

Zhong Shihuang reached out and hugged him: "We will be together, forever."

Wen Gu patted him on the back lightly, quietly letting out a sigh of relief.

into the night.

Zhong Shihuang woke up from his sleep.After Zhong Dunshan passed away, his sleep quality recovered. He thought that when Zhao Shuqing was shot and killed by himself, he slept for more than ten minutes and woke up for several hours.

He took a deep breath, sat up slowly, touched the cup to drink water.A black figure sat by the window, motionless. If he hadn't been very clear about the arrangement of the items in his room, he would almost have thought there was a statue there.

"Who?"

When the light came on, Wen Gu smiled at him: "Sorry to bother you."

Zhong Shihuang put down his cup: "Do you have to be so elusive?"

Wen Gu said: "I am God."

"I know very well, you don't need to emphasize it every time you appear." He paused, "Why didn't you say goodbye?"

Wen Gu said: "I only accept you as an apprentice, and the mentality of our sect is naturally only taught to you."

Zhong Shihuang changed color: "Didn't you agree to teach Shuqing to cultivate immortals?"

Wen Gu said: "You can accept another disciple, it has nothing to do with me. Whether he can succeed in his studies depends entirely on you."

Zhong Shihuang suddenly said: "You want to use this to force me to study hard?"

Wen Gu spread his hands and said, "If you think so, I can't do it either."

Zhong Shihuang snorted coldly: "Maybe Shuqing's talent is higher than mine."

Wen Gu smiled and said: "It's the best, I hope he can master it well and learn by himself, lest you mislead your son."

"...Do you still teach?"

Wen Gu said: "Before teaching, popularize common sense first."

"Science popularization?" Zhong Shihuang raised his eyebrows, "I thought you would only say that you can be a teacher by reviewing the past and learning the new."

Wen Gu pretended not to hear his ridicule, and continued: "There are thousands of ways to cultivate truth, and different paths can lead to the same goal. What I Yuanyang Zhengzong cultivates is the sword, which has little to do with the spiritual root in the body. But you are a gold system Spiritual roots and swords belong to this category, and they can be cultivated with half the effort."

"Shuqing is a healing system, what kind of spiritual root?"

"...You are his master, I have to ask you."

"In terms of seniority, aren't you his master?"

Wen Gu choked, coughed dryly and said, "Don't change the subject."

Zhong Shihuang draws inferences, thinking of supernatural beings and the end of the world, he blurted out: "I am a metal spiritual root, so I can manipulate metal, so do other supernatural beings also have their supernatural powers from their spiritual roots?"

Wen Gu glanced at him appreciatively: "Not bad."

"What about the zombies?"

Wen Gu explained in detail the differences between people with abilities, people without abilities, zombies, and the dead, and added a sentence: "If the spiritual root condenses the magic element golden core in the brain of the person with abilities, he will become a zombie."

Zhong Shihuang said: "Is there no way to save it?"

"A once-and-for-all solution has not yet been thought of, and for the time being, we can only rely on the healing system to suppress the demonic energy in their bodies with their abilities." Wen Gu saw his gloomy expression, and comforted him, "We are trying to find a way, and I believe that in the near future, we will be able to Restoring the world to its former glory."

"Typical fake big empty promises, lack of convincing, hard to believe." Zhong Shihuang stretched his waist and stood up, "It seems that for the peace and prosperity of the world, I must join you as soon as possible." .”

"...Welcome."

It has to be said that Zhong Shihuang's comprehension ability is even better than that of Wen Gu's back then.Wen Gu only taught him for half a night, and he stepped into the door of cultivation with half a foot.

Wen Gu secretly admired it.It seems that it is not unreasonable for Tiandao to pursue him persistently to become a fairy.

Zhong Shihuang practiced for the first time, and he would wake up in two or three hours at the fastest, or two or three days at the slowest.Wen Gu resumed his old job and took up the post of bodyguard, staying at home and never leaving his home.

Geng Songping and Meng Jin came to visit twice successively. After hearing that Zhong Shihuang had a long talk with him, they finally had a good sleep and were relieved.

On the third day, Geng Songping and Meng Jin came again, with solemn expressions, they must see Zhong Shihuang.

Meng Jin said: "This matter is of great importance. Even if he passes out from sleep, he must be woken up by electricity."

Wen Gu said: "It was hard for him to sleep so soundly..."

Geng Songping said: "Being able to sleep so soundly means that the hurdle in my heart has passed, so don't worry about it anymore. It's really important to wake him up first."

Wen Gu couldn't hold them back, so he went to call someone later.

In the bedroom, Zhong Shihuang sat cross-legged with a ruddy complexion, the demonic energy was peacefully attached to the spiritual root, and the real energy in the dantian seemed to be absent, obviously it was the marrow washing pill that Wen Gu gave him.

"Mr. Xiao Zhong?" Geng Songping called out anxiously.

Wen Gu thought for a while, put his hand on Zhong Shihuang's back, and slowly passed a stream of immortal energy to speed up the flow of true energy.

When true qi encounters immortal qi, it immediately clings to it, and the two qi merge into one, like a fish in water, flowing unimpeded through the eight extraordinary meridians.

Zhong Shihuang woke up leisurely, only to feel that the pores of his body were opened, and the depression was swept away, and his whole body was indescribably comfortable.

"Meng Jin and Geng Songping said they were looking for you on something very important, and they are in the living room." Wen Gu reminded him.

Zhong Shihuang turned his head and smiled at him.

Seeing his strange smile, Wen Gu was puzzled, so he was thrown onto the bed. Zhong Shihuang pressed his lips hard, and after eating enough, he sat up lazily: "It's really comfortable."

Wen Gu sat up expressionlessly, straightened his clothes, "You'd better take a shower."

Zhong Shihuang said: "How many days have I slept?"

"Three days."

Zhong Shihuang leaned over, causing Wen Gu to fall backwards, and then said with a smile: "I didn't expect that there would be a day when you disliked me for not taking a shower."

Wen Gu raised his hand and wiped his neck, it was black.

Zhong Shihuang really blushed this time, and rushed into the bathroom quickly.

"Dud duk." Geng Songping knocked on the door.

Wen opened the door.

"Where is Mr. Zhong Zhong?"

Wen Gu pointed to the bathroom door, just as there was the sound of water coming from inside the door.

Geng Songping smiled and said, "Fortunately, it didn't interrupt anything."

Meng Jin came out from behind him, looked at the black mark on Wen Gu's neck, and said meaningfully: "Maybe I missed the right time to interrupt."

When Zhong Shihuang came out of the shower, Meng Jin and Geng Songping were stunned.

Meng Jin smiled and said, "It seems that you have slept well in the past two days."

Geng Songping said: "I think I should also take two days off to get a good sleep."

Wen Gu also noticed that Zhong Shihuang was full of energy and radiant, as if his whole body was glowing.He knew that this was the effect of Xisui Pill and cultivation, so he was not surprised.

Zhong Shihuang squeezed Wen Gu's hand, "Didn't you say you have something very important?"

Meng Jin said seriously: "The special commissioner of the government is in the city hall, and he said that there is a way to contain the mutated zombies."

Before the apocalypse, the Meng family had close contacts with some high-ranking government officials. After the apocalypse, the two sides cooperated even more closely. It can be said that the development of the World Youth Base is due to the government's supply of materials and weapons.

Reciprocating, Meng Jin and Zhong Shihuang also decided early on that once the situation stabilized, they would return the base to the government.

Therefore, they welcomed the commissioner's arrival with raised hands.

The special commissioner came and went frequently with them, and was already familiar with them. After a few pleasantries, they got to the point. "The Ability Response Bureau has confirmed that the Ability Users and Zombies are infected by an unknown chemical substance. This chemical substance is transmitted through the air. There is no way to prevent it. It can only be gradually eliminated through later purification. effects on the human body."

Zhong Shihuang thought to himself: These words coincide with what Wen Gu said.It's just that one is a chemical substance and the other is magic energy.

The special commissioner solemnly took out a box, and took out a tripod from it: "This is... a purifier made by the Supernatural Response Bureau." He probably also thought the shape of this purifier was ridiculous, and he couldn't justify it, and the corners of his mouth twitched. After taking a twitch, he continued, "The most important thing is to put it in the base, absorbing the sun and the moon...mainly rely on solar energy to work." He really couldn't repeat the original words of "absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon".

Geng Songping picked it up curiously, looked left and right, looked inside and outside, and asked in doubt: "What is the principle of this?" No matter how you look at it, it is just a very ordinary tripod, right?

The commissioner scratched his face: "Mainly, this mainly depends on...the material!"

"Really?" Zheng Shengyu also leaned over to take a look.

The special commissioner watched Ding turn around in their hands in horror, and couldn't help saying: "Be careful."

Zhong Shihuang looked at Wen Gu and asked his opinion.

Wen Gu nodded slightly.Although he saw this cauldron for the first time, the celestial aura inside the cauldron is real, and it seems to be similar to that tripod.

Zhong Shihuang took the tripod over and said, "Thank you. We must use it seriously." Since it is the devil energy that caused the end of the world, it is reasonable to use the tripod to purify.Didn't Wen Gu say that the gods are trying to find a way?Maybe, this is the handwriting of the gods.After all, it doesn't look like a technology product by any means.

The commissioner warned: "Remember, get more exposure to the sun and the moon."

Geng Songping asked curiously: "Do you want to build a shed to cover it in rainy days?"

Wen Gu secretly said: No need.

The commissioner said: "Yes, definitely."

Wen Gu: "..."
