Ye Zhou's private chat reminders kept ringing, he took advantage of Dugu Zhuo not paying attention and glanced quietly, seeing that it was a message from Ye Jian, he only read the first message "You don't really want to talk to him...", Ye Zhou decisively turned off the notification sound, pretending he didn't hear it.
Dugu Zhuo, who is only ten years old, still has the serious expression of an adult, and his demeanor and movements are all rigid. This way of looking majestic on an adult, but on a child, it has a contrasting sense of cuteness. Ye Zhou secretly Call this Dugu Zhuo Dugu Xiaobao.
He stepped forward and took Dugu Xiaobao's hand and said, "Let's take a stroll around the Star Chuiling Peak together, this will be our territory from now on."
The corners of Dugu Xiaobao's mouth turned up slightly, but he seemed to think that he still had a front tooth that hadn't grown in yet, so he calmly suppressed his smile, nodded and said, "I don't need to go to the alchemy temple in the future, the old monk They will always charge me 10% of the pills as tolls."
"Alchemy... Ye Zhou is the Great Elder, there should be an alchemy room on Xingchui Peak, right? Look for it!" Ye Zhou excitedly dragged Dugu Xiaobao around Xingchui Peak's room.
Xingchui Peak is the place where the sword masters of past dynasties lived. The houses are all built with high-quality cultivation materials, and they will not be corroded by wind and frost even after tens of millions of years.
There are no walls here, and dozens of houses are orderly located on the top of the hill.
The two first entered the largest room, which is the main hall of Xingchui Peak. The hall was empty, even a little cold. In front of the hall, apart from the portraits of past masters of plain swords, there was only a stick of incense that seemed to never burn. .
"It seems a bit empty." Ye Zhou said after making a round, "It's boring here, let's go to another room to have a look."
boring? Dugu Zhuo glanced at the main hall, he remembered that Ye Zhou rarely came to this room, except that he would pay homage to the ancestors of the past on important days.
Only once, on the night of the martial art competition, Dugu Zhuo was injured by Xiexiu, Ye Zhou took him back to Xingchui Peak, watched Dugu Zhuo quietly all night, and when he saw that Dugu Zhuo's injury was better, he disappeared up.
At that time, Dugu Zhuo vaguely felt that Ye Zhou's back was a little lonely when he left. He struggled to get up and searched for Ye Zhou on the Xingchui Peak. Finally, he saw him kneeling quietly in the center of the main hall, looking up at the portraits of the ancestors of the past. Kneeling for three days.
What was Ye Zhou thinking at that time
Dugu Xiaobao asked: "If it were you in such a main hall, when would you come here to worship?"
Ye Zhou looked back at the main hall, tried to imagine himself as the elder Ye Zhou, and immediately came up with the answer: "When you feel ashamed, you just want something, but such a thing is different from the parent's request. It's contrary, but I still want it, so I will probably come here secretly to talk to the elders at this time."
Dugu Xiaobao looked at Ye Zhou in a daze.
Ye Zhou thought he didn't understand, so he explained: "For example, I really want to go online to play with you at night, but my parents and doctors don't agree. I secretly hid the game helmet and played with you all night in the game. I will repent in two days, in this mood, if there is such a hall, I might kneel in front of my ancestors and tell them that I did something wrong, but I still think, hahaha!"
Ye Zhou instinctively didn't like this main hall, so he dragged Dugu Xiaobao to run outside, but he didn't want Dugu Xiaobao to be short but very strong, so he pulled Ye Zhou over.
Ye Zhou was grabbed by him, turned around and bent over to look at him, his long hair was scattered on the side of Dugu Xiaobao's face.
"What's wrong?" Ye Zhou asked.
His tone is brisk, his eyes are clear and frank, there is no gloom and restraint in his previous life between his brows. Ye Zhou's white clothes in his previous life were ice and snow, but Ye Zhou's white clothes in this life are cotton candy, soft and sweet, making people feel sweeter when they look at them.
"It's okay, let's go and see other rooms." Dugu Xiaobao grabbed a strand of Ye Zhou's hair, wrapped it around his fingertips, and watched them spread out gently and smoothly.
Ye Zhou walked towards other rooms without noticing, but Dugu Xiaobao couldn't help but turn his head, looking at the somewhat gloomy main hall.
It's really good to get away from here.
The houses around the main hall are all side halls, and the furnishings inside are almost the same. They are all furniture such as tables, chairs and shelves. The rooms are clean, but not popular.
Ye Zhou felt bored after wandering around here, so he ran directly to the side hall at the back, where there is a place for Ye Zhou to live, and there is also a retreat room for Ye Zhou to practice.
There is only one bed in the bedroom, a straw mat and a hard porcelain pillow. Ye Zhou spread out the straw mat and lay on it. He rubbed his neck and said, "The pillow is so hard, can this sleep well?"
Dugu Xiaobao said: "Cultivators don't need to sleep, most of them just meditate and adjust their breath. Resting for one hour is better than sleeping for four hours."
"But people occasionally want to lie down and rest, right?" Ye Zhou said, "I always feel that I am always on guard like this, and there is no time to relax."
Dugu Xiaobao swept the simple straw mat with his fingertips, thinking of his room. When he first arrived at Xingchui Peak, Ye Zhou ordered the disciples of the deacon's hall to bring his luggage, and the deacon's hall didn't dare to neglect, and sent him an excellent bedding, only the porcelain pillow was too hard. Ye Zhou directly threw out the porcelain pillow, and the deacon Tang hurriedly sent a soft buckwheat pillow.
That night Dugu Zhuo lay in the bed filled with sandalwood scent full of anger. Not only did he not appreciate Ye Zhou's care and care, but he only thought that he would fall into the hands of his father's new Taoist companion, fearing that he would be tortured to death.
"At that time... I missed too much." Dugu Xiaobao sighed.
Ye Zhou didn't hear what he said, but pointed to the bedroom and said, "Should we buy some new bedding, softer, so that when we go to Xingchui Peak to practice, we can take a rest occasionally. Although resting in the game is useless, but If the bedroom is decorated warmly, it will be more comfortable psychologically.”
"Okay, let's transform Xingchui Peak together, focusing on your comfort." Dugu Xiaobao said.
"That won't work, I still want you to like it." Ye Zhou said, "But we will definitely establish our own sect in the future. This is the territory of the Qingtian Sword Sect. It is not considered our home. Will investing too much now be wasted?"
Dugu Xiaobao said: "Xingchui Peak is yours, even if there are other ashrams outside, shouldn't there be a separate courtyard?"
"It means that there are not too many villas. I like this idea." Ye Zhou raised his eyebrows lightly, took out a paper and wrote down what he wanted to buy.
"This room is yours. I remember that you like dark blue, black and other more dignified and atmospheric colors, but the black quilt is too depressing. How about changing it to lake blue?"
"Let's get a kitchen, what if you want to experience a picnic on Stardrop Peak?"
"There is also a practice room that needs some soft cushions that are suitable for slumping on..."
“There are sun loungers and hammocks outside…”
Every time Ye Zhou went to a room, he would involuntarily have the idea of buying something in his mind, and he could make a decision without even thinking about it, as if he had thought about these things thousands of times, but never implemented them.
"There are so many alchemy furnaces here!" Coming to the alchemy room, Ye Zhou looked at a dozen or so alchemy furnaces in the huge alchemy room.
There will be so many pill furnaces because Dugu Zhuo has been tossing about pill furnaces and blowing up many pill furnaces. He went to the deacon hall to get pill furnaces again and again. He moved many of them up, and told Dugu Zhuo that if all these alchemy furnaces could be blown up, he would stop making alchemy in the future.
After that, Dugu Zhuo restrained himself a lot, learned alchemy very quickly, and stopped blowing up the alchemy furnace. The rest of the alchemy furnaces have been placed in the alchemy room.
After looking at the alchemy room with satisfaction, the two went to the study room again. There were paper pens and jade slips in the study room, and the ink was newly ground.
Ye Zhou saw a piece of paper lying flat on the table, so he couldn't help but stepped forward, picked up a pen, and wrote the character "Zhuo" on the paper. He had never practiced brush calligraphy, but this character was unexpectedly beautiful, and every stroke was hidden. With a sharp edge.
"Does this game also automatically improve calligraphy?" Ye Zhou said, "Come over and write."
Dugu Xiaobao sat on the chair and took the pen from Ye Zhou. It stands to reason that Dugu Zhuo's handwriting is very beautiful, but at this time he couldn't control the child's body, and only wrote a crooked "舟" "Character.
"You can't even tell it's my name, come on, I'll take you to write."
After Ye Zhou finished speaking, he took Dugu Xiaobao's hand and helped him stabilize the pen. Seeing that there was still a large space on the word "舟", he moved the rice paper down and wrote a neat "孤" in the blank space. Character.
When Ye Zhou was writing, he was so serious about every stroke, but when he lowered his head, his long hair would fall uncontrollably and scattered on the back of Dugu Xiaobao's neck, making it slightly itchy to the touch.
The character "Gu" is quite correct, and it forms the word "Gu Zhou" with the character "Zhou" below.
Ye Zhou just wrote the name of Dugu Zhuo's game casually, but he didn't expect that the combination of his and Dugu Zhuo's names would have a feeling of loneliness. It should be a match of blushing and heartbeating, but now he feels a little desolate.
Seeing his slightly sad expression, Dugu Xiaobao immediately picked up a pen and deleted the radical "zi" of the word "孤", leaving the word "guazhou", which is a bit cute.
A piece of paper was smeared in a mess, but Ye Zhou liked it so much that he simply rolled it up and stuffed it into his storage belt.
"It's really nice here." Ye Zhou jumped to an old tree that didn't know how many years old, sat on the trunk, and took a deep breath of air, "The air is fresh, the scenery is pleasant, and there are few players."
Dugu Xiaobao still remembered that Ye Zhou told Ye Jian that he was the only one in Xingchui Peak, that he was tall and cold, very boring, and asked someone to come and accompany him.
He tried to jump up the tree too, but after jumping twice, he found that he didn't have any power in his body. It seemed that as long as he kept Xiaobao's appearance, he would lose his power.
Seeing that he couldn't jump up, Ye Zhou flew down and wrapped his arms around Dugu Xiaobao's waist, and hugged him up the tree.
The two sat side by side on the tree trunk, watching the sun gradually rise to the middle of the sky.
"It's past three quarters past noon." Dugu Xiaobao said while looking at the sun.
It was 11:45 at 3:00 p.m., and Ye Zhou was going offline at 12 o'clock, so it was almost time for him to go offline.
With Dugu Xiaobao at this moment, Ye Zhou was reluctant to go offline.
"Then go shopping in the afternoon and set up the Xingchui Peak, and then... Let's practice on it today. I can hang up the phone to practice in the evening, so that my experience can increase faster, at least I won't be left behind by others." Ye Zhou said.
Before, the space in the inn was too small, there was only one bed, and Ye Zhou didn't want to leave his body in the inn to hang up. And the environment of Xingchui Peak is very good, and the room is for one person, so he thinks he can hang up.
"Okay." Dugu Xiaobao replied warmly.
"Then, am I offline?" Ye Zhou leaned on Dugu Xiaobao's shoulder and said reluctantly.
"I'll wait for you." Dugu Xiaobao said.
After hearing his words, Ye Zhoukong felt more at ease, opened the system interface, took a look at Dugu Xiaobao, and then reluctantly went offline.
After I got off the line, I saw the nanny standing in front of me, and said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Ye Jian made more than a dozen calls, and I told you to call him back after you get off the line."
Ye Zhou picked up the phone and saw countless missed calls and voice messages on it. The messages were densely packed in rows, each with an unread mark. Seeing these little red dots, Ye Zhou curled his lips in disgust.
After Ye Zhou left the game, Dugu Zhuo looked at the blue sky on Xingchui Peak, thinking about the changes in Ye Zhou's perception of Xingchui Peak.
From "It's tall and cold, it's boring to be alone" to "The air here is fresh, the scenery is pleasant, and there are few players", what changes happened during this period that caused Ye Zhou's thoughts to change drastically
It seemed to be nothing, just changed from one person to two people with Dugu Zhuo.
