Monster Apartment

Gu Bai followed Xie Zhi onto the plane, and took out a steam eye mask from the hand strap.

A thank you meal: "Are you sleepy?"

"A little bit." Gu Bai nodded.

Xie Zhi responded, watched Gu Bai take off the steam eye mask, and put the chair down for him.

With the chairs on the side, Xie Zhi thought about the topic that Zhai Liangjun had just talked to him, and said, "Do you know the actions of those people?"

Gu Bai was taken aback for a moment, but didn't realize what Xie Zhi was referring to.

"Those people want to block you." Xie Zhi said casually.

His tone was quite flat, obviously he didn't take this matter at all.

Xie Zhi has been helping Gu Bai for half a year, and he is quite familiar with the unlucky things that happen to those who want to do something secretly.

So when he noticed that these people were making small moves behind their backs, neither he nor Si Yiming took it to heart at all.

There is no need to even tell Gu Bai.

If Zhai Liangjun hadn't said something today, Xie Zhi would have almost forgotten about it.

After all, homosexuality is quite normal in art circles, but it is the first time that 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 a role.

It's normal to shoot an early bird, but no one would have guessed that this early bird looks easy to bully, but in fact it's an iron plate harder than Si Yiming.

"Ah..." Gu Bai was stunned, then nodded, "Got it!"

Seeing that he didn't take it seriously, Xie Zhi nodded: "Okay, let's go to sleep."

Gu Bai nodded, but he didn't take it too seriously, and closed his eyes as soon as he put on the blindfold and wrapped it in a small blanket.

For most of the slaps that were not directly slapped on the face, or things that were caught by him face to face, Gu Bai basically couldn't afford to be angry.

Zhai Liangjun said that to him, but Gu Bai didn't take it to heart.

This kind of mentality was taught 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 are advancing by leaps and bounds, which will naturally cause some people's displeasure.

But human beings, most of them will choose to keep silent or talk behind their backs in order to save face.

When Gu Bai first found out, he also felt very sad, but the teacher told him very straightforwardly, "Those who feel jealous because of your progress but don't make up their minds to catch up, will never succeed in this life. The discussions behind them will not delay you." When you practice painting, they won't affect you in the future, and you don't have to take them seriously."

These words are really blunt, but to Gu Bai who listened to the teacher's words at that time, it was like enlightenment.

From that time on, Gu Bai devoted himself to painting, and was too lazy 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 work hard and work hard.

But the facts prove that people are doing what the sky is watching.

People who really work hard will finally get what they want and achieve something.

And those who secretly talk about being jealous of outstanding people but don't reflect on themselves basically plummeted.

After seeing clearly the importance of hard work, Gu Bai was rarely shaken by the fact that others slandered him behind his back.

He doesn't care what other people think of him, anyway, the world is so big, no matter how powerful the rumors are, he can't do without a mouthful of food.

And now that he knows that he is favored by the heavens, Gu Bai, who clearly has confidence, doesn't care about such things even more.

This kind of secretly repulsive behavior can't have any effect on him.

Gu Bai's social circle is quite simple, all the monsters are either Mr. Si's colleagues or are afraid of the existence of Pixiu's power, and they themselves have no opinion on the matter of their relationship.

And those familiar humans are even more sincere.

At the beginning, the first person who sent concern was his teacher. Later, when he visited his teacher and senior brothers, he was repeatedly concerned again.

Gu Bai closed his eyes, thinking of those human beings who had not changed at all towards him as usual, he fell into the sweetness with a slight smile.

……

The high-level human beings responsible for contacting the monsters have signed a series of detailed contracts with the beasts.

The form of expression is a full 23-page contract.

There are six more pages for Gu Bai to sign.

This is an ancient cave mural newly excavated in the past few years.

The structure of this cave is somewhat special. There are many holes in its dome, and light leaks from above. some light.

The scope of the cave is quite wide, and there are some scattered and incomprehensible mottled pictures painted on the walls.

Probably because of the peeling off of the wall 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 it was already shattered when we excavated it, and in the end we could barely restore it..."

A little human girl was holding a folder and talking carefully.

This is the contact person sent by the human side, the daughter of the high-ranking human being who often deals with Si Yiming.

Because he happened to be engaged in archaeological work and was a related household, he was simply stuffed in.

Not too many people should know about the monsters, so before Gu Bai arrived, the place was cleared immediately.

With a little curiosity, she looked at the two people beside her who were said to be non-human.

They seemed to get along quite well, and they obviously had a certain reputation among humans—but after being repeatedly warned by her father, she also spoke with a hint of fear.

While listening carefully, Gu Bai took a folder in his hand and checked the information seriously.

Regarding this cave, the official date is about 5000 years ago.

In fact, the specific time of this cave's existence is too long to be tested at all.

"This place should have been renovated many times. The age of the soil we sampled in different places is different." The little girl said, licking her lips dryly.

Gu Bai glanced at her, then took out a bottle of mineral water from the bracelet, unscrewed it, and handed it to her.

The little girl was flattered and thanked repeatedly, but dared not drink after receiving the water.

Gu Bai was stunned for a moment, and said, "It's not poisonous."

The little girl smiled at him, but still didn't dare to drink.

Gu Bai lowered his eyes, facing the distrust of monsters for the first time, which made him feel a little bit lost.

Xie Zhi glanced at the little human girl, then patted Gu Bai on the shoulder: "Do you see anything?"

"This place is closer to the point guarded by Zhuniao, here..." Gu Bai pointed to the mottled cracks on the wall in front of him, and the wall with some color left, "It should be the totem of Zhuniao, Mr. Si Show me."

After Gu Bai finished speaking, he pointed to the hollows on the dome: "These holes must be useful. Since there is a totem of the vermilion bird, why not wait until noon to see it."

"For Vermilion Bird, you can also consider setting it on fire." Xie Zhi said.

When the little human girl heard this, her eyes widened in astonishment.

Gu Bai was stunned for a moment, looked up at the holes above his head, and then at the irregular cave as a whole, said "Hey", and looked down at the top view of the cave.

The top view is full of bumps and hollows, and the shape is really invisible.

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 has a large area. There are also some strange and mysterious patterns painted on the altar, but because of the damage, it is hard to see clearly.

Gu Bai looked down at the imaginary picture of the restored altar on the materials, then at the cracks in the cave, and finally took out Bai Ze's set of pens first.

"Ignore those for now, I'll finish painting the altar after I fill up the cracks." Gu Bai took the pen and looked at the totem on the wall.

Although it is very faint, it is indeed the breath of Zhu Niao's blood, and there is something else.

"If it's convenient, Mr. Xie, can you ask Ms. Zhu Niao for some of her blood for me?"

Xie Zhi was expressionless: "Do you think I will be burned to ashes by her?"

Gu Bai scratched his face: "Then... invite her over for me?"

Only then did Xie Zhi nod his head, and he didn't care that Gu Bai and the little girl were alone in this dark cave, turned around and left.

Gu Bai himself had little experience, so he really couldn't tell what other traces of the totem were drawn from the painting besides the red bird's blood.

Those divine beasts have 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 beside him: "You are right behind me, don't go forward."

Dianmo Shanhe's technique is just right for filling the cracks caused by the earthquake.

Gu Bai carefully filled up the cracks on the ground and wall one by one, and also took into account the mottled traces of it very carefully, and even this was handled without any sense of disobedience.

After he finished drawing a circle, he raised his head and looked at the place that he couldn't reach with his hands and tiptoes. Then he turned and asked the surprised little girl, "Is there... is there a ladder?"

The little girl was even more surprised when she heard this, probably because Gu Bai seemed too quiet and harmless, which made her a little bolder.

She asked, "Do monsters also build ladders?"

Gu Bai let out an "ah" and pursed his lips, feeling a little embarrassed.

"I..." He hummed a few words in a low voice, "I haven't learned how to fly yet."

After Gu Bai finished speaking, he closed his mouth, deeply feeling that he had embarrassed the monster.

The little girl smiled kindly: "I have a ladder, I'll get it for you."

How could Gu Bai have the nerve to ask the little girl to help him carry the ladder, then he turned his head and followed the little girl to the place where the tools were kept outside, and picked it up before the other party picked it up.

The little girl was taken aback for a moment, seeing Gu Bai silently and skillfully setting up the ladder to climb up, she couldn't help but ask, "Are all monsters the same as you?"

"Same as me?" Gu Bai took the pen and was stunned for a while, "How am I?"

"So... er, friendly?" The little girl considered her vocabulary.

In fact, she wanted to say that she looked very bully.

Gu Bai thought about the little girl's question quite seriously, rolled the pen in his hand twice on his fingertips, thought of the attitude of the monsters around him towards humans, and shook his head seriously.

"Most monsters are... just, not very close to humans." Gu Bai chose a slightly softer word, "I am different, I was raised as a human being."

To be precise, he unilaterally believed that he was a human being and raised himself as a human being.

Gu Bai felt that his life was quite legendary.

The little girl let out a "wow", watched Gu Bai carefully mend the gap, and asked in a low voice, "Are you the magic brush Ma Liang?"

Gu Bai corrected her: "My surname is Gu."

The little girl burst out laughing.

Gu Bai seldom gets along with girls of the same age or younger, he is a little at a loss, he can't quite understand what this girl is laughing at.

He thought for a while, but continued to mend.

When he finished this part and was about to move the place, Gu Bai who picked up the ladder found that the bottle of mineral water he just handed to the little girl had 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 now he was getting together with the little girl to study the prototype of the altar.

The two of them were serious, and the little girl was still holding a small notebook, carefully writing down Gu Bai's questions, and was going to go back and ask the teacher.

The atmosphere between the two of them was quite upright, but they couldn't hold back the desire of some beasts to make trouble.

Zhu Niao looked at the two, elbowed Xie Zhi next to him, and asked him enthusiastically: "If you say I take the photo and send it to Si Yiming and Gu Lang, who will explode first?"

Thanks: "..."

Farewell, miss.

With all due respect, you are asking for your own death.

The author has something to say: Zhu Niao: I'll take you to watch the beasts set off fireworks!

Thanks: Farewell.
