Three Realms Sanatorium

Ah Shan was not comforted by Gu Shi.

Taotie lay on the bed without moving, and had no interest in Gu Shi brought by Ah Shan. He looked thin and weak, lying on the soft bed and almost sinking into the quilt.

His expression was numb, with a gloomy paleness on his face, and even a few traces of blood could be seen on his lips.

Ashan watched Gu Shizai fiddling with his mobile phone helplessly, then turned his head to look at Taotie lying there, turning around anxiously.

It was fine yesterday, why did it suddenly become like this now!

Gu Shi looked at the download interface on his phone, thinking about what would be the root cause of Taotie's greed and gluttony?

From a scientific point of view, the first requirement of all organisms with signs of life must be to ingest food in order to survive.

But Taotie's situation is much more complicated. Gu Shi also just found out that the stomach in Taotie's stomach is not a proper stomach, but a black hole.

According to this, the reason why Taotie eats non-stop should be to seek a sense of satiety.

Gu Shi thought of this, turned his head to look at Ah Shan, and confirmed to him: "Have you ever eaten enough?"

Ashan shook his head: "No, you should have heard the legends about him, right? Although he didn't really eat himself, those legends are pretty much the same."

So gluttony's instinct is indeed to fill his stomach, but unfortunately his body structure does not allow him to fulfill his wish.

Gu Shi thought about it.

In other words, the fact that Taotie eats is actually meaningless, because he can never fill a black hole.

It is further speculated that the reason why Taotie's nature is so is most likely because he has been pursuing a sense of fulfillment that he will never be able to experience.

If it was for other reasons, Gu Shi might still find it difficult.But if you are only looking for a sense of fulfillment, Gu Shi thinks this is quite easy to solve.

Gu Shi recalled what Ah Shan said earlier about Taotie's change of recipe: "Didn't Taotie not eat people before because humans began to worship him?"

"Yes." Ah Shan nodded, "Ah Zhao was very kind to those humans, and he was always in a good mood during that time."

Gu Shi asked: "Is there nothing he's not used to after he stopped eating people?"

Ashan shook his head: "No, Azhao actually eats the same food."

Gu Shi nodded.

That is to say, Taotie does not have to eat any specific food to survive. If he relies on food to maintain his life, he should have burped when he was born.

"After so many years, whether he is hungry or eats non-stop, he has already gotten used to it..." Ashan worried, tugged at the corner of Gu Shi's clothes, and said in a low voice, "What should I do, Gu Shi, he I don’t even want to eat anything!”

Gu Shi thought to himself that this is not very easy to handle, if Taotie is not sick enough to refuse everything, then it is easy to solve.

"No, isn't he eating?" Gu Shi said.

Hearing this, Ashan immediately turned his head to look at Taotie, only to find that Taotie was still lying motionless on the bed.

Ah Shan shrugged: "Where is he eating?"

"There are more than these things that can be eaten." Gu Shi pointed to the snacks on the surrounding shelves, then raised his hand and nodded his head, "Eating spiritual food is also eating."

Ashan was taken aback: "What?"

"Spiritual food." Gu Shi repeated, "It refers to things that can make people feel full and not waste time."

Ah Shan:?

Ah Shan felt that Gu Shi was dancing wildly in his blind spot of knowledge.

A download completion page popped up on Gu Shi's phone, he lowered his eyes and clicked install, then turned his head to look at A Shan.

"You said before that Taotie was very kind to those humans who worshiped him. He was very happy during the time he was worshiped by humans, right?"

Ash nodded blankly.

"Are there still humans like that?" Gu Shi asked.

Ash shook his head.

Today is no longer the ancient ignorance period. Compared with gods, ghosts and monsters, human beings believe in the power of science.

Gu Shi had an idea, walked to the bedside with his mobile phone, and smiled at Taotie who looked at him sullenly: "Friend, have you heard of eating chicken?"

……

Taotie finally changed from lying down to sitting, and silently followed the novice process of "He ○ Elite", and then was led by Gu Shi to play two rounds.

Gu Shi's chicken eating skills are really not that good, but it's enough to bring the gluttony he just downloaded the game to.

The reason why contemporary mobile games are called spiritual opium lies in their low equipment requirements, ease of use and strong addiction.

Gu Shi and Taotie rushed for three rounds in a row, but Ah Shan couldn't control himself. He joined their rookie alliance in the fourth round, and then the three of them followed their wild teammates in the fifth round.

In the sixth game, Gu Shicai finally realized belatedly that he didn't come here to find someone to play online.

Gu Shi: "..."

Although that's what I said, it's really fucking cool to fish openly during working hours.

Gu Shi thought about it, and his fingers touched it uncontrollably to start the game.

After pressing it down, Gu Shi came back to his senses, slapped his thigh, and startled the two non-human beings beside him.

Gu Shi turned his head and asked Taotie: "How is it?"

Ash suddenly tensed up.

Taotie didn't raise his head: "What?"

"It's a game." Gu Shi said.

Taotie replied unhappily, "Very good."

"This is just the lowest rank we are playing. If you reach a higher rank, you will be able to meet very powerful opponents."

"Oh."

Taotie nodded not very interested.

Ah Shan pursed her lips, looking like tears were about to fall.

Gu Shi didn't care about Taotie's current attitude.

He continued: "When you play well, there will be a lot of people adore you."

Taotie made a movement on his hand.

Gu Shi smiled and said: "Of course, it's not just this game, all technical games, players who play well are very popular, as far as I know, there are fans... that is, the number of admirers, tens of millions. "

Taotie opened his eyes slightly.

He hesitated for a moment: "...how to do it?"

"Familiarize yourself with the game first." Gu Shi took the opportunity to say, "Since it hurts when you eat, don't eat. What's wrong with doing something else when you have time to eat? Is the phone not fun after clearing the game? Time is spent eating."

Taotie:?

Ah Shan:?

Well, it seems so reasonable?

Taotie's back, which had been hooked all the time, straightened: "Can I just finish playing?"

"Not all." Gu Shi smiled, "Friend, do you know about game live streaming? Have you heard of e-sports?"

With that said, Gu Shi opened the video app and opened the live video of the "League of Legends" World Championship.

Taotie watched, his dull eyes gradually brightened.

……

Gu Shi drew a huge pie for Taotie, and then slipped away with his mobile phone under the pretext of needing work.

Hey, it's so easy.

With his hands behind his back, Gu Shi walked along the path by the door shaking his head.

Who would have thought that one or two of these ancient monsters could be so easy to fool!

Gu Shi thought of the cake he drew for Taotie, and the more he thought about it, the more wonderful he felt.

Let Taotie divert his obsession from eating and let him play games. With the energy of a monster, it is not a big deal to go without sleep for several months. I can gain some experience.

When the time comes, create an identity for Taotie and register as an anchor. If it becomes popular, wouldn't it be bloody money?

Needless to say, how much money those popular anchors make now.

But what Taotie really pursues is not money, but the happiness of being chased and revered by others.

Li shut up and took out his bank card, it seems that he is not short of money.

Gu Shi thought that maybe if Li shut up and was happy, he would share some of the money earned by Taotie with him?

They are not short of money, but Gu Shi is. If they can get the money quickly, as long as they have no conscience, Gu Shi wants to fight for it, and at worst, they will pay it back later.

Gu Shi was short of money, and he was in a hurry.

Gu Xiuming is 84 this year, and he said earlier that he is 89 years old.

The number 89 spanned a year.

Gu Shi counted the days, even if Gu Xiuming went the day before he turned ninety, there were only less than five years left.

Gu Shi had nothing he could do to repay Gu Xiuming, counting and counting what he could work hard for, that was to make the old man regret.

Gu Xiuming was unable to maintain the dignity of Cangwu Temple.Even the plaque on the gate hall that used to be the facade was broken, and he couldn't afford the money to repair it, so he could only cut down the tree, planed a rough and uneven board, wrote inscriptions in his own ink, and hung it outside the gate hall. It made Cang Wu look even more tattered.

Gu Shi was still young at that time, and he only vaguely remembered Gu Xiuming's eyes were red when he came back from hanging up the plaque.

The old man was clearly on the verge of crying, but when he saw him approaching, he smiled and coaxed him with a piece of malt candy.

Save face.

Gu Shi pursed his lips, turned a corner along the stone path under his feet, and turned to the gate of a courtyard. Without thinking about it, he lifted his foot and was about to walk back when the gate opened.

Following the voice, Gu Shi was taken aback: "Mr. Xie?"

He thought that Xie Jiusi could control everything in the Three Realms Courtyard, and his heart skipped a beat.

Oops.

Fishing and playing games during working hours was arrested by the boss on the spot, and the wages may be lost.

Gu Shi cautiously probed: "Do you live here?"

Xie Jiusi nodded: "Why are you here?"

Gu Shi heard this and heaved a sigh of relief.

"Ashan brought me here to visit Taotie." Gu Shi explained, "But I seem to have lost my way."

Xie Jiusi heard the words, raised his finger and pointed to the road behind Gu Shi: "Go along."

Gu Shi turned his head and found that the crooked stone path when he first came had turned into a straight stone road.

Gu Shi thanked him, turned around and stepped on the stone road.

Then he found that Xie Jiusi was also following.

Gu Shi was puzzled: "Are you going down too?"

"Walk with you." Xie Jiusi said.

Gu Shi: "Huh?"

"You don't look very happy."

Gu Shi was slightly startled, turned his head away: "No, you read it wrong."

"Really?" Xie Jiusi walked up to Gu Shi, stopped, thought for a while, and said, "Then you will walk with me?"

Gu Shi raised his eyes and met Xie Jiusi's gaze.

There was a clear spring hidden in the eyes of the mountain god, and Gu Shi saw his own reflection in the spring water, the shadow pursed its mouth, and its face was full of bewilderment and bewilderment.

Xie Jiusi saw it and didn't say anything.

Gu Shi quickly adjusted his expression, looked away, and muttered in a low voice: "Okay, then I will accompany you."

Xie Jiusi's hearing and eyesight: "Thank you."

Gu Shi didn't answer, his fingers behind his back were tangled together, then suddenly let go, and walked out side by side with Xie Jiusi.

Xie Jiusi turned his head to look at Gu Shi, and felt that this feeling was really fresh.

In the past, he frequently traveled between Netherland and Zhongshan, and his breath was filled with the filthy smell from hell. All living beings sensed his arrival from afar, and would run thousands of miles away.

Now that the gate of Netherland is closed, he is not as surrounded by blood as before, but those gods, ghosts and monsters are still afraid of his power, and they don't want to approach him unless necessary.

Gu Shi noticed that Xie Jiusi's gaze hadn't moved away for a long time, and just about to turn his head and stare back, the arc of clear spring that he had just glimpsed appeared in front of his eyes unexpectedly, and his neck was twisted halfway and suddenly stuck.

He turned his neck back to the original place little by little, stared down at his toes, and asked, "What do you see me doing?"

"Because I want to see it." Xie Jiusi said, "Do you mind?"

Gu Shi was caught off guard and looked at Xie Jiusi in astonishment.

fuck you.

Why did my gay dad suddenly start buzzing?
