Gu Bai followed Xie Zhi onto the plane, and took a steam eye mask from the hand rope.
Thanks for a meal: "Are you sleepy?"
"A little bit." Gu Bai nodded.
Xie Zhi responded, watching Gu Bai take off the steam blindfold, and put the chair down for him.
With the chair on the side, Xie Zhi thought of the topic that Zhai Liangjun had been emotional about with him just now, and said, "Do you know the actions of those people?"
Gu Bai was stunned for a moment, but for a while he did not respond to what Xie Zhi was referring to.
"It's about those people who want to block you." Xie Zhi said casually.
His tone was quite flat, and he obviously didn't take it to heart at all.
Xie Zhi had been helping Gu Bai for half a year, and he was quite familiar with the unfortunate things that happened to those who secretly wanted to do something.
So when he noticed that these people were doing little things behind his back, neither he nor Si Yiming took it to heart at all.
There was no need to tell Gu Bai.
If Zhai Liangjun hadn't said something today, Xie Zhi would have even forgotten about it.
After all, homosexuality is quite normal in the art circle, but it is the first time it has been made public with such a big fanfare.
Gu Bai has been in the limelight recently, there are many people who don't like him, and there are naturally many people who want to take the opportunity to play.
It's normal for the gun to hit the first bird, but no one would have thought that the first bird looked like a bully, but in fact it was an iron plate that was harder than Si Yiming.
"Ah..." Gu Bai was stunned, then nodded, "Got it!"
Xie Zhi saw that he didn't take it to heart at all, and nodded: "Okay, let's sleep."
Gu Bai nodded, but he didn't worry about it. He closed his eyes as soon as he put on a small blanket and wrapped the blindfold.
For most of the slaps that were not directly slapped on the face, or were caught by him in person, Gu Bai basically couldn't get angry.
Zhai Liangjun said that to him, but Gu Bai didn't take it to heart.
This kind of mentality was still taught to him by the teacher when he first learned to paint.
The main reason is that he is indeed talented and likes to paint and is willing to work hard. His painting skills have improved by leaps and bounds, which will naturally attract some people's unhappiness.
But human beings, most of them will choose to remain silent or talk behind their backs in order to save face.
Gu Bai felt very sad when he first learned about it, but the teacher told him very bluntly, saying, "Those who are jealous because of your progress but don't make up their minds to catch up will never be able to accomplish anything in this life. The discussions behind them will not delay. When you practice drawing, they won't affect you in the future, and you don't have to take them seriously."
This is really rude to say, but to Gu Bai, who was quite listening to the teacher's words at that time, it was like an enlightenment.
From that time on, Gu Bai devoted himself to painting, and didn't bother to socialize or pay attention to other things.
Also because of the teacher's words, he has always had a good impression of people who are diligent and hard-working.
And the facts have proved that people are doing what heaven is watching.
Those who are truly diligent and hard-working will eventually get what they want and achieve something.
And those who secretly rant about being jealous of good people but don't reflect on themselves are basically downhill.
After seeing the importance of hard work, Gu Bai rarely felt shaken by others slandering him behind his back.
He doesn't care what others think of him, anyway, the world is so big, no matter how powerful the rumors are, he can't eat without him.
But now that he has learned that he is favored by God, Gu Bai, who is clearly confident, doesn't care about this kind of thing even more.
This kind of repulsive behavior can't have any effect on him.
Gu Bai's social circle is quite simple. The monsters are either Mr. Si's colleagues or they are afraid of the power of the Pixiu. They have no opinion on who they are.
And those familiar humans are even more sincere.
His teacher was the first one who sent him his concerns. Later, when he visited his teachers and brothers after the year, he was repeatedly concerned.
Gu Bai closed his eyes, thinking of the few humans who had not changed to him as usual, and fell into the sweetness with a slight smile.
…
The high-level human who was in charge of contacting the monsters made a series of detailed contracts with the beasts.
The form of expression is a full twenty-three-page contract.
Gu Bai needs to sign six more pages.
This is an ancient cave painting newly excavated a few years ago.
The structure of this cave is a bit special. There are many hollows on its dome, and light leaks from the top. The scattered light beams seem to fall on the ground and walls in the cave in a disorderly manner, bringing the slightly dark cave. some light.
The cave is quite wide, and there are some scattered and incomprehensible mottled pictures on the walls.
Presumably due to the peeling of the walls over time, coupled with the earthquake and erosion experienced over a long period of time, these pictures are almost incomplete.
"There was originally a place similar to an altar in the middle of the cave, but when we excavated it, it was already broken, and in the end, it was only reluctantly restored..."
A little human girl said carefully holding a folder.
This is the contact person sent by the human side, the daughter of the high-level human who often deals with Si Yiming.
Because I happened to be engaged in archaeological work and was a related household, I was simply shoved over.
It is still not appropriate for too many people to know about monsters, so before Gu Bai arrived, the place was immediately cleared.
With a little curiosity, she looked at the two people around her who were said to be not human.
They seem to get along very well, and they have a certain reputation among humans - but after being repeatedly warned by her father, she also spoke with a hint of horror.
Gu Bai listened carefully, and checked the information with a folder in his hand.
Regarding this cave, the official date announced to the outside world is about 5,000 years ago.
In fact, the specific time of the existence of this cave is so long that it is impossible to test at all.
"This place should have been renovated many times. The soil ages we sampled in different places are different." The little girl said, licking her lips dryly.
Gu Bai glanced at her, took out a bottle of mineral water from the hand rope, unscrewed it, and handed it to her.
The little girl was flattered and thanked repeatedly, but after she took the water, she did not dare to drink it.
Gu Bai was stunned for a while, and said, "It's not poisonous."
The little girl smiled at him, but still didn't dare to drink.
Gu Bai lowered his eyes, and for the first time faced the distrust of human beings towards monsters, which made him feel a little lost.
Xie Zhi glanced at the little human girl and patted Gu Bai's shoulder: "Do you see what happened?"
"This place is relatively close to the spot guarded by the vermilion bird, here..." Gu Bai pointed to the mottled cracks on the wall in front of him, as well as the walls with some residual color, "It should be the totem of the vermilion bird, Mr. Si gave it to me. I've seen it."
After Gu Bai finished speaking, he pointed to the holes on the dome: "These holes must be useful. Since there are totems of vermilion birds, it is better to wait and see at noon."
"In Zhu Niao's case, you can also consider setting fire to it." Xie Zhi said.
When the little human girl heard this, her eyes widened in astonishment.
Gu Bai was stunned for a while, looked up at the caves above his head, and then looked at the overall irregular cave, "Hey", and lowered his head to look at the top view of the cave.
The top view is bumpy, and the shape can't really be seen.
He looked up again, and his eyes fell on the broken altar in the middle of the cave.
This altar is only about half a meter high, but it is quite large. There are also some strange and mysterious patterns painted on the altar, but because of the damage, people can't see it.
Gu Bai lowered his head and looked at the imaginary picture of the restoration of the altar in the document, then looked at the cracks in the cave, and finally took out Bai Ze's set of pens.
"Ignore those for now, wait until I fill these cracks, and then draw the altar." Gu Bai took the pen and looked at the totem on the wall.
Although it is very light, it is indeed the breath of Vermilion Bird's blood, and there is something else.
"If it is convenient, Mr. Xie, will you ask Ms. Zhu Niao to order her blood for me?"
Xie Zhi was expressionless: "Guess I'll be burned to ashes by her."
Gu Bai scratched his face: "Then... can you invite her over for me?"
Xie Zhi just nodded, and didn't care that Gu Bai and the little girl were alone in this dim cave, turned around and left.
Gu Bai himself had little knowledge, so he really couldn't tell what other traces of totem were used to draw them apart from the blood of the vermillion bird.
Those mythical beasts lived a long life and learned a lot, so they should know it.
While thinking about it, Gu Bai waved to the nervous little girl next to him: "You're right behind me, don't go forward."
The technique of spotting mountains and rivers is just right to fill the cracks caused by earthquakes.
Gu Bai carefully filled the cracks on the ground and the wall one by one, and also took into account the mottled traces of its own, and even this was handled without any sense of disobedience.
After he finished painting a circle, he looked up at the places he couldn't reach even with his hands and feet, and turned to ask the surprised little girl, "Is there... is there a ladder?"
The little girl was even more surprised when she heard the words, probably because Gu Bai seemed too quiet and harmless, which made her a little bolder.
She asked, "Do monsters need ladders too?"
Gu Bai let out an "ah" and pursed his lips, feeling a little embarrassed.
"I..." He hummed softly, "I haven't learned to fly yet."
After Gu Bai finished speaking, he closed his mouth, feeling that he had humiliated the monster.
The little girl smiled kindly: "There are ladders, I'll get them for you."
How could Gu Bai be so embarrassed to ask the little girl's family to help him carry the ladder, he turned his head and followed behind the little girl to the place where the tools were placed outside, and carried it himself before the other party picked it up.
The little girl was stunned for a moment. Seeing Gu Bai's skillful movement of erecting a ladder and climbing up, she couldn't help but ask, "Are all monsters the same as you?"
"Same as me?" Gu Bai held the pen and was stunned for a while, "How am I?"
"So... uh, friendly?" The little girl thought about her vocabulary.
In fact, she wanted to say that it looked very bullying.
Gu Bai thought about the little girl's question quite seriously. The pen in his hand rolled twice around his fingertips. Thinking of the attitude of the monsters around him towards humans, he shook his head seriously.
"Most monsters are... just, not very close to humans." Gu Bai picked a slightly softer word, "I'm different, I was raised as a human."
To be precise, he unilaterally considered himself a human and raised himself as a human.
Gu Bai felt that his life was quite legendary.
The little girl gave a "wow", watched Gu Bai carefully mending the gap, and asked in a low voice, "Are you the magic pen Ma Liang?"
Gu Bai corrected her: "My surname is Gu."
The little girl burst out laughing.
Gu Bai got along less with girls of the same age and younger, and was a little helpless. He didn't quite understand what this girl was laughing at.
After thinking about it, he had no choice but to continue repairing.
When he finished making up this piece and was about to move the place, Gu Bai, who had picked up the ladder, found that the bottle of mineral water he had just handed to the little girl had already been drunk.
Gu Bai looked at the empty bottle for a while, and couldn't help showing a small smile.
By the time Zhu Niao and Xie Zhi came back, Gu Bai had already repaired the surrounding walls, and was now getting together with the little girl to study the prototype of the altar.
The two of them had serious expressions on their faces. The little girl was still holding a small notebook, earnestly writing down Gu Bai's questions, and preparing to go back and ask the teacher.
The atmosphere between the two was quite honest, but some divine beasts couldn't hold back their desire to do things.
Zhu Niao looked at the two of them, nudged Xie Zhi next to him with his elbow, and asked him enthusiastically, "You said that if I take a picture and send it to Si Yiming and Gu Lang, who will explode first?"
Thanks to: "… "
Stop it, ma'am.
With all due respect, you are asking for your own death.
The author has something to say: Zhu Niao: I will show you the fireworks of the beast!
Thank you: Farewell.
