When I Ditched the Protagonist [Quick Transmigration]

Hearing Su Mingxiu's question, Guimian blinked her eyes, and looked straight into those innocent eyes like a deer in the forest, and replied with a natural attitude: "Senior sisters said, Master teaches with all his heart. We, as apprentices, should share the worries of our master."

After a pause, she said dejectedly, "I'm not good enough, and I can't realize my wish."

It was necessary to use methods that other cultivators would disdain, to pray for the blessings of the gods to protect Su Mingxiu's health.

She thought she was just doing what other apprentices would definitely do.

But Gui Mian didn't know that other people would not steal lotus lanterns from mortals for their masters, nor would they be like her. Because they didn't understand anything, this vague gesture of favor was extremely precious.

Su Mingxiu stood firmly by the Lingchi for a while.

Then, she lowered her eyes and flicked her sleeves so that the pond full of lotus lanterns floated up into the sky. In the snow-white Lingyu Mountain that covered the sky and the sun, the floating lanterns were lit up again, swaying along the path. Flying upwards with that spiritual power, looking from a distance, it looks like lotus flowers stretching their branches in the mortal world, boldly poking their heads into the fairy world.

The lotus lanterns all over the sky were reflected in Guimian's eyes, she watched these lanterns fly higher and higher, she let out a big "wow", her eyes seemed to be lit up by these lights.

She would not know that none of these lotus lanterns really belonged to her.

And the person who can fulfill her wish is standing in front of her.

Su Mingxiu didn't turn her head to look at the lotus flowers that rose into the sky, but stared at the child in front of her who had just grown to the height of her shoulders, and asked aloud, "Do you want to become stronger?"

Gui Mian withdrew her gaze, and this time nodded to her without hesitation: "Yeah."

"Even if you encounter danger or even lose your life in the process, do you want to become stronger?" She asked again.

Guimian hesitated for a while this time.

She has also been taught the meaning of life and death, knowing that the path of cultivation is to pursue longevity.Otherwise, it will be like a mayfly in the world, living and dying at night, even if there are thousands of mayflies later, it will not be the dead one.

Gui Mian knew that there were still many things she didn't understand, and if she died now, she might not have the chance to study in the future, so she hesitated and said, "Master..."

"Won't let me die, will you?"

Thinking of what Qiongying and the others said about the love that the master would have for the apprentice, Guimian also copied those patterns and put them on her and Su Mingxiu, her eyes full of trust.

Su Mingxiu looked at her for a moment, then nodded lightly: "Yes."

Gui Mian immediately laughed again, this time she said with absolute certainty: "Then I want to become stronger, and I will definitely have many, many wishes in the future, and I want to realize them myself."

According to the systematic guidance, Su Mingxiu brought Guimian to this small village hundreds of miles away. Because it was isolated from big towns and located in the deep mountains, the village was too small, and only let the demons wreak havoc a few times before it was completely wiped out. vitality.

Look at the situation, this place should be deserted for more than half a year.

She first calculated the fate of the village by pinching her fingers, and then inferred from the traces left behind that it was demons, not demons, who were presumptuous here.

There is not much difference between demon cultivators and human cultivators except for the difference in tendons. Most serious demon cultivators will not hurt people's lives. So, as the saying goes, bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes.

For them, improving their cultivation and surviving is a top priority, so the methods are extremely cruel.

Counting the encounter with the succubus, this should be the second time Guimian faced a monster.

She set up a simple formation to help her, and Tong Guimian told about the cultivation of this monster, and handed her her spirit sword "duckweed", and said to her, "Go and kill it!" .”

In her sea of ​​consciousness, there was a buzzing sound of protest because of the little spirit sword she assigned to be used as Fantie.

Su Mingxiu turned a deaf ear to it, spread out his consciousness, covered a radius of a hundred miles, and sat in meditation beside a dead tree in the center of the village. While observing how the little apprentice used the method of Jianzong to hunt for demons, he asked the system in the sea of ​​consciousness:

[Now can you tell me, what is the origin of the protagonist this time? 】

In the previous world, when Su Mingxiu was an agent, he had read a lot of scripts. He knew that in this kind of comprehension drama, the orphan protagonist without father and mother would eventually be revealed, or be the original parents. He is a powerful immortal, or he has multiple bloodlines.

Little Guimian, what kind?

The system was quiet for a moment, not knowing what was being calculated, and it took a while to answer her: "You will understand later, and now I just give you a small suggestion. After she loses consciousness, stay away from her."

Su Mingxiu stopped asking, and turned to pay attention to the little apprentice who had found the monster's lair.

Then--

She watched helplessly as the little girl was kicked and flew to the cave wall by the monster in less than half an hour, spitting out a big mouthful of blood.

Su Mingxiu frowned slowly.

Duckweed Sword sensed her thoughts, rushed out of the sea of ​​consciousness, pointed the tip of the sword towards the cave where the monster was, and let out a long sword cry.

Even if the current Elder Lingyu's cultivation base has fallen to Nascent Soul.But after all, he was an ancestor who had practiced Mahayana, and the coercion of the spirit sword of his real name alone was enough to make the monster tremble.

Realizing that there was a greater danger staring at him, the monster subconsciously wanted to engulf the offal in front of him and escape.

But just as it opened its mouth, it was killed by a sword energy across the mountain, and disappeared without a trace.

system:"……"

Su Mingxiu gave a "tsk", and it was rare to explain to it: "You won't tell me Gui Mian's real identity, how do I know if this thing can open its mouth and eat her or not?"

Knowing that she deliberately took this opportunity to test Gui Mian's identity, the system still sneered and gave some irrelevant hints: "Don't worry, with the pile of spiritual energy you input, all monsters below Jindan are now Nothing but her."

Su Mingxiu raised his eyebrows, and then the system answered indifferently, "This is my only friendly reminder. There are still forty days left before the mission is completed. Please help the host to find other prey for the heroine to upgrade on his own."

Because of Su Mingxiu's excessive protection, Guimian's upgrade progress was delayed again and again.

But the little apprentice was very obedient, even though it took a lot of effort to get into the monster's lair and get beaten every time, the master killed the opponent with a single move from a distance, which made her get beaten in vain.But she never complained, she ran wherever Su Mingxiu pointed her to.

The only good thing is that her sword moves have become more proficient.

At first, she was able to vomit blood from being kicked by the monsters in the middle stage of foundation establishment, but now she can use the incarnation of the duckweed sword to fight back and forth with the early stage of foundation establishment.It's just that he ate up all the food in a restaurant in Fanjianfang City afterwards.

"I really can't order any more..."

The shopkeeper looked at Gao Shan with a contorted smile on the table of the two fairies who had no time to remove it. He had just received an ingot of gold from Su Mingxiu in his hand, but the smile on his face was still there. As if crying, he said: "The back kitchen has used up all the storage for half a month, and the chef has been exhausted for several times. We really can't supply. Can the two gods move to other stores?"

This is the first time he has made money and has mixed feelings of sorrow and joy.

The joy is that this gold can cover all the other party's meal expenses.

Sadly...

He had never seen something so edible, maybe it wasn't a monster?

Su Mingxiu rested one hand on the edge of the window, with only a cup of hot tea in front of him. Hearing what the shopkeeper said, he shifted his probing eyes to Gui Mian again, and asked softly, "Are you full?"

Gui Mian rubbed her stomach and thought for a while, only replied: "I'm not hungry anymore."

"In the past, did you eat like this in the dining room of the sect?"

"Before... I wasn't so hungry."

After listening to her answer, Su Mingxiu remained silent again. Seeing that she still looked like a bean sprout that never grew up, after thinking for a long time, she still couldn't figure out what her change meant. Under the anxious eyes of the shopkeeper, Finally she said slowly, "Let's find the next one if we're not hungry."

Seeing that the line of mission failure is getting closer and closer, Su Mingxiu is already mentally prepared. Who knows that this day just happened to meet an ogre in the early stage of foundation establishment, and Guimian could smell the thick blood on its body. When he was angry, he had already raised his sword and charged forward.

But this ogre actually hid his cultivation and slapped Gui Mian on the head.

Su Mingxiu reacted very quickly. When catching the apprentice who was flying upside down, she sensed that the other party still had a trace of breath, so she stuffed a life-saving elixir into her mouth, then summoned her real sword, and went towards the ogre— —

One person and one demon battled, causing the landslide and the ground to crack.

In a corner that no one noticed, a wisp of gray mist emerged from Gui Mian's head and gradually diffused.

The mountain was soon shrouded in gray mist. When Su Mingxiu reacted, she felt that the spiritual power in her body was being continuously absorbed by the gray mist. She was secretly thinking that it was not good, but found that the demonic energy in the ogre opposite was It was absorbed even faster, almost in the blink of an eye, it turned into a ball... It was no longer recognizable as the original air-dried stuff.

And those gray mist, as if consciously, dissipated satisfactorily.

It no longer looks like a starving ghost who would frantically fight back when she touched her, wishing she could clean her up.

If Su Mingxiu felt something, she looked back and saw that although the Guimian clothes she had left in place still had traces, the wound on her head had healed as before.

She put away the spirit sword, turned back to the little apprentice, laughed for a long time, and murmured in a voice that only she could hear: "This appearance must not be seen by others, my dear apprentice."

Immediately, the ink-colored long sleeves were rolled up, bringing Guimian to a nearby town.

If Su Mingxiu was at the Mahayana level, Su Mingxiu could bring Guimian back to Jianzong in just one thought, but now that his cultivation level has plummeted, and he has a dark wound on his body, if he wants to use the spell that shrinks the ground into an inch to return to the place where thousands of miles away Outside the sword sect, it is not so simple.

Coincidentally, Guimian's situation is not suitable to be brought back to Jianzong until it is confirmed.

The little apprentice recovered quickly, and came to her the next day as if nothing had happened, and asked her where she was going to kill monsters next.

Su Mingxiu raised his hands to smooth the necklines of her new clothes that were crumpled after sleeping all night, and then asked lightly, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Gui Mian shook her head.

Not only was there no discomfort, she also felt that today was very different.

For example, right now, she is staring carefully at the ink marks on the master's cassock, and she seems to be able to vaguely see some traces of talismans.But after staring at it for nearly half a quarter of an hour, he still looked away dizzily.

When looking out the window, Gui Mian whispered, "That leaf is so clear."

Su Mingxiu raised his hand towards her wrist, the spiritual power only went to her veins, avoiding the sea of ​​consciousness, and felt that the spiritual power stored in the veins was more than before.At the same time, the voice of the system reminding her to complete the small task also sounded in her mind.

She withdrew her hand, and said to Gui Mian: "Rest here for two days, and then go back to Lingyu Mountain."

Gui Mian always listened to her arrangements, obediently nodded and agreed.

But the little girl couldn't stay in the inn, Su Mingxiu had only been meditating for a long time, when she opened her eyes, she found that her neck was almost stretched out from the window on the second floor to the tree outside, and she was watching something exciting.

After thinking about it, she simply took Guimian out for shopping.

"Master, why are those small animals picked up? Can they be eaten so small?" Not long after, Gui Mian tugged at her sleeve, pointed to a booth in the distance, and asked her inexplicably.

Su Mingxiu lifted his eyelids slightly, and saw someone fish fry and small turtles from the river and sell them in translucent glass vats, attracting countless children around.

Compared to the fish and turtles that can be seen everywhere in the river, maybe this glazed jar is what the other party really wants to sell, but Su Mingxiu doesn't want to be the one who buys the box and returns the pearls.

"Not to eat."

When she approached, she said, "It's for raising."

"Grow up to eat?" Gui Mian followed her step by step, and now also stood by the booth with her, continuing to ask.

Su Mingxiu didn't know what was on his mind. After asking the stall owner the price, silver taels appeared in his palm, and he said that he would contract everything in the stall. Amid the cheerful laughter of the stall owner, he lowered his head and explained to his apprentice: "I don't want to eat when I'm too old." , because it's a pet."

"Do you want a pet?"

Gui Mian lay on the glazed jar, staring at the motionless little tortoise at the bottom, and waited until the tortoise shrank its head back into its shell, then she looked away and looked at her master again: " What is a pet?"

"You just need to treat it well, maybe just feed it and drink it—" Su Mingxiu said, "It can always accompany you and never betray your existence."

Hearing her explanation, Gui Mian's eyes flashed with surprise.

"Even if I don't know how to love it, will it stay with me?"

At some point, the fairy in the ink-color robe gently picked up the little turtle and put it in front of her, as if thinking of the picture of returning to the turtle in the future, he couldn't help but bend his lips, and then said: "Yes! .”

"Even if you never learn to love, it will love you in its own way and stay with you all the time. This is a pet."

The little apprentice saw the head and limbs retracted in Master's hands, leaving only the round tortoise shell, for some reason, the movement of raising his hand to catch it was very careful, obviously it was a very light thing, but she always felt that it was a bit heavy. of.

She stared at the eyes of the little turtle retracted into its shell for a while, as if remembering something, then suddenly raised her head to look at Su Mingxiu, her eyes were also shining brightly: "If I learn to love—"

"Then can I also be Master's pet?"

"puff!"

It was the boss next to him who had just finished counting the money and hadn't had time to leave when he overheard this sentence and spewed out the sound. After that, he hurriedly raised his hand to cover his ears, for fear that the money in his arms was still warm, As if being slaughtered by these two distinguished guests who looked at their extraordinary temperament, they added a superfluous sentence: "I didn't hear anything!"
