Chapter 162: Pearl of the Sea
Chapter 162: Pearl of the Sea
In order to help the old ancestor come out of his memories, Gu Xixian began to talk about what she saw during her tour of the city today and the name of the city "Guizong". Gu Teng and Gu Xu were immediately brought back to their senses by her vivid narration.
"Guizong City! Okay, this is a good name, but we still have to place family members somewhere else in the future." Gu Teng said.
After a moment of surprise, Gu Xixian understood the good intentions of the ancestor, and immediately bowed deeply: "Thank you for your compassion, ancestor."
Gu Teng reached out and touched her head: "The head of the family is also a human being. Don't take all the burdens on yourself, and don't worry about who you will face. The ancestors can still protect you for a few years. Even if we old men pass away, I don't think your uncle will leave you alone."
Thinking of the way that Gu Di held the little girl in his palm and loved her, Gu Teng couldn't help but laugh. The boy who didn't get married actually loved his daughter. Thinking about it again, it seemed that there were quite a lot of unmarried people in the Gu family's Eagle Guard. Uh, it seemed that it started with him. He didn't set a good example. What should I do if I feel a little guilty?
Gu Xixian's eyes were slightly wet, and she nodded vigorously. Although the attention she received was earned by her ability, what was wrong with that? People have to rely on their abilities to survive, right? If you are a mess, why should others care for you and protect you? Don't talk about fairness or unfairness, feelings are equal. She would not say empty words like "the ancestors will not die" and "they will live like pine trees and cranes". Born as a mortal, birth, aging, illness and death are the laws of nature, and no one can escape.
"Girl, if you have time, build a mountain city for the clan members and find some work for them. People will become decadent if they are too idle." A family like the Gu family definitely has a lot of people. Although it is not as prosperous as the other families, it is not really declining. If used well, it will be a great help to the little girl.
The ancestors were genuinely thinking about her, and Gu Xixian readily agreed: "There are two barren mountains not far from Guizong City. My brother and I went to see them before, and they are also unowned. I will let Xiao Mingming take us to see them tomorrow. What do you think, ancestors?"
Those two places were actually pretty good, but in comparison, her Guizong City was in a better location. She had originally planned to buy those two places once she had enough money.
"Oh, then let's go and take a look. Your mount is fast anyway." Gu Teng readily agreed and could ride the community beast for a ride again.
"Take your Uncle Po with you. That guy is good at management. The family villa will be left to him in the future." Gu Xu said.
Gu Xixian curled his lips: "But I want Uncle Bo to stay here."
"Don't be too greedy, little girl. Your grandfather Ye will be here soon. With his ability, he can easily handle the things here. Why would you need him?" Gu Teng scolded with a smile: "You have to leave a few talents for the family, right?"
Gu Xixian pursed her lips and nodded. It would be better to hand over the family affairs to Guliepo. With him in charge, she, as the head of the family, should be able to have it a lot easier.
On the second day, when Gu Liepo looked at the turtle Duanming that was gradually growing in front of him, his jaw was about to dislocate. He just heard that the master of the family gave him a divine beast mount, and he was very curious. Today, he gave him a live show. It was really a gift from the immortals. It shocked his little heart. As a result, when he was honored to get a chance to sit on the turtle's back, the stability and speed once again refreshed his three views. Woo, he also wanted to have a divine master to give him a divine beast mount. It was really too comfortable and convenient. It was simply a must-have for home and travel.
Sometimes he shook his head, sometimes he smiled foolishly, and the changes on his face were too obvious. Gu Teng asked curiously, "Boy, what are you thinking about?"
Still immersed in his own emotions, Guliper gave the answer without thinking.
Gu Teng and Gu Xu both had complicated expressions, then patted his shoulder and consoled him: "It's okay, go to sleep. When you fall asleep, you can dream about anything."
"Ah?" Gu Liepo came back to his senses, but was still confused: "I'm going to sleep right after coming out?"
Would it be different to sleep on the back of a mythical beast? Yes, it really is different. How many people are lucky enough to sleep on the back of a mythical beast? At that moment, he lay on his back happily and closed his eyes.
When Gu Teng and Gu Xu saw each other, they were speechless. Forget it, just go to sleep. All kinds of things can happen in dreams.
Gu Xixian was stunned by their behavior, but she didn't care too much. After the initial excitement, it was just like that. Except for the stronger wind, wider horizons and better scenery, there was nothing special about it. So, she also chose a place to lie down and watch the wind and clouds move.
So, some traits really do run in families.
Gui Duanming's speed has always been amazing. Except for the three people of Gu Xixian who had already experienced it, Gu Liepo was extremely surprised when he was called up: "We are here already? It would take three to five days to go there by horseback."
"You also said you were riding a horse, but look, is it a horse?" Gu Xu knocked on his head to wake him up.
Guliper looked at the huge turtle under him and nodded belatedly: "Oh, it's true."
The first place they arrived at was a barren mountain on the left side of Guizong City. Looking down from the air, the shape of the mountain was in full view. Vines had woven the entire mountain forest into a hemispherical shape, with only a few trees poking their heads out from the vine net in an unyielding manner.
"It's round and smooth, and looks rich. Why not call it Pearl and Jade City?" Gu Xixian sighed in his heart. Standing high and looking far, the things he saw were indeed different. Last time he looked from the bottom up, it felt very desolate and there was nothing special about it. This time, looking from the top down, it looked round and smooth, and quite pleasing.
"Okay, we'll call it this after we buy it." Gu Teng made the decision directly.
There was no need to go down to take a closer look, because there was nothing to see. Just taking a look from the air was better than patrolling the mountain countless times from the ground. The few people did not stay for too long and turned to the one on the right. This mountain was obviously different from the one on the left. There were many rocks and pine trees growing on the cliffs. There were not many plants that depended on vines, but small wild flowers and weeds were everywhere among the rocks, which looked quite lonely and proud.
A sentence flashed through Gu Xixian's mind: Mountains are like a grain of sand in the vast ocean, and cities are like mulberry fields that change all the time.
"Grandfather, let's call this place Canghai City." This was not a discussion or a suggestion, but she had decided it. Whether it was the ancient treasure cave of the ancestors or her, they were all foreign creatures who came here by chance and were the darlings of heaven. It was not wrong to call it "the pearl of Canghai".
"Okay, both names are good, and both locations are good. That's it. Let's go back and decide on these two places tomorrow." Gu Teng and Gu Xu also agreed with the two names she chose. They had good metaphors and good scenes.
