Yu
Chapter 941 Backed by Mountains, Facing Water
In the night sky, the stars twinkled, and the Milky Way was brilliant.
Gu Shi'an looked around at the towering stone pillars, the gray-white ground beneath his feet, and felt a slight coolness.
Jiang Xiao's Calamity Shadow World had alternating day and night, as well as the cycle of the four seasons. It was summer on Earth, and it was also summer in the Calamity Shadow World.
However, the altitude here was probably higher, so the temperature wasn't very high, and it was very refreshing.
Jiang Xiao pointed to the northeast and said, "Walk 160 kilometers in that direction, and you'll reach my home."
Gu Shi'an silently looked at Jiang Xiao, without speaking. He had a bellyful of doubts, but he didn't ask. At this moment, he wasn't in a good mood, even a little irritable, and he didn't want to say anything.
Jiang Xiao put a hand on Gu Shi'an's arm and said, "Let's go."
Whoosh...
The two appeared at the edge of a quiet forest, behind them, the vast lake that seemed to stretch on forever.
And in front... a three-story stone building stood quietly.
Jiang Xiao said, "This is my home. I'm just bringing you to get familiar with the area, we'll visit later."
As he spoke, Jiang Xiao continued to point northeast: "See that snow-capped mountain?"
"Mm," Gu Shi'an nodded, but he didn't want to "recognize the front door" at the moment. He endured it and didn't interrupt Jiang Xiao's introduction.
Jiang Xiao said, "After crossing that snow mountain and walking 300 kilometers, you'll reach my newly established flower sea pasture."
As he spoke, a figure walked out of the stone villa.
Gu Shi'an suddenly turned his head to look. He had a Perception Star Technique and clearly felt someone walking out.
"Hum..." An ethereal sound came from behind, drifting under the starry night sky, drifting far, far away.
Gu Shi'an's body tensed up. He knew Jiang Xiao wouldn't harm him, but he didn't dare to turn his head. Instead, he stared at the figure walking towards him. The next moment, Gu Shi'an's eyes suddenly widened!
Another Jiang Xiao!?
This Jiang Xiao was wearing camouflage clothing. Other than the way he dressed, he was no different from the main body Jiang Xiao, who was wearing shorts and a t-shirt.
Jiang Xiao placed a hand on the shoulder of the Practice Puppet and a hand on Gu Shi'an's arm, saying, "This is another me. He has Star Techniques that can change the terrain into mud, flower sea, rock, and sand. We need him to build the surrounding environment of the tomb."
The Practice Puppet had absorbed the Star Techniques of the Azure Rock Bull and the Flower Rock Bull today, which happened to be useful.
"Bang!"
The lake water exploded!
A large fish flew out, covering the sky, and crashed towards the crowd.
"Don't be afraid," Jiang Xiao said softly, stepping forward and extending a hand.
The behemoth heavily crashed on the ground, but an instant before impact, cool and soft skin touched Jiang Xiao's palm, and then it transformed into layers of rich star power, frantically drilling into Jiang Xiao's body.
Jiang Xiao turned around, and behind him, the dense dots of starlight were still converging towards Jiang Xiao's tiny body. He smiled and nodded at Gu Shi'an: "The amount of work later might be very large, we need a lot of star power."
"Glug." Gu Shi'an's Adam's apple bobbed, and he nodded blankly.
Was that behemoth a whale?
What level of Star Pet was it, with such an aura and such rich star power? Were Jiang Xiao's star slots... enough?
A few seconds later, the figures of the group flickered, and when they reappeared, they were surrounded by a herd of cattle lying in the flower sea, sleeping on the ground.
Gu Shi'an recognized these cattle, and also recognized this purple flower sea. Under the moonlight, the place was silent, and the scene was so beautiful.
As early as when Jiang Xiao introduced that another version of himself had the ability to change the terrain, Gu Shi'an had already thought of a lot. It seemed that Jiang Xiao had come to the Purple Field with a plan.
Gu Shi'an smelled the faint fragrance of flowers and sighed softly, "You had to go to the Purple Field because of the Star Technique to change the terrain."
Jiang Xiao smiled and nodded, and behind the three of them, another Jiang Xiao's voice came: "In addition to the Star Technique, I also want to steal cattle."
Gu Shi'an turned his head and saw a Jiang Xiao wearing a fisherman's hat and holding a Black and White Candle.
Behind the Florist Puppet, there was also a Yingying Bear sleeping soundly in the flower field.
The Yingying Bear sleeping soundly in the flower field was adorable. This scene was so beautiful.
Jiang Xiao patted Gu Shi'an's arm and said, "Remember the location? Your request is absolute silence, so the place I chose still needs to go 300 kilometers to the northeast."
Gu Shi'an didn't know what to say, he just nodded mechanically.
Jiang Xiao's voice was very soft, as if afraid of disturbing the sleeping cattle: "Each time you pay your respects, you have to cross a snow-capped mountain, pass through this flower sea pasture, and then move forward and cross that continuous mountain range."
The figures of the four-man group vanished in a flash.
Gu Shi'an's eyes blurred. This time, he found himself standing on top of a mountain that was neither high nor low, with a very open view.
Jiang Xiao softly asked, "Is this okay?"
Gu Shi'an felt a burst of coolness. The temperature on the mountain was noticeably different from the temperature below.
Although the group was on top of a mountain, it was also a relatively flat platform.
Jiang Xiao pointed to the north and said, "This side is the north side of the mountain, the shady side. I'll build a forest."
He pulled Gu Shi'an around and looked to the south, saying, "This side is the sunny side. I'll plant fewer trees, and fill most of it with flowers."
Jiang Xiao thought for a while and continued, "You said you wanted everything, then I'll..."
Jiang Xiao pointed to the direction of the river down the mountain and said, "Build a large lake along this river."
Jiang Xiao held the Black and White Candle in one hand, took a few steps forward, and stood on the edge of the cliff on the mountaintop, saying, "These past few days, I've looked up some information about yin dwellings (gravesites).
Um... but there are too many things to consider in this. We're not experts, of course, we don't promote these things, we're just seeking peace of mind.
I don't understand too many rules, I only understood a few sentences: Yin dwellings like quiet, face south, have mountains behind and water in front. As for whether it's right or wrong, I don't really understand, I need you to decide."
Gu Shi'an hugged the box in his arms tightly, his eyes looking at Jiang Xiao's back. Without him knowing, Jiang Xiao was already silently doing all of this.
When did Jiang Xiao start delving into this aspect? Was it after the night talk in Muhei City that he started preparing?
It seemed that Jiang Xiao had prepared everything, waiting only for Gu Shi'an to nod in agreement.
Gu Shi'an also knew that if he hadn't brought his mother over, perhaps the effort Jiang Xiao put in behind the scenes would never be told to him.
Gu Shi'an was silent for a long time, then softly said, "Thank you."
"I'll take that as a yes, then wait for me for a while," Jiang Xiao threw the Black and White Candle to Gu Shi'an.
"Ooh?" The Black and White Candle was so frightened that its little feet were kicking wildly, but it was caught steadily by a large hand.
The little candle looked up hard, looking at Gu Shi'an, its face full of curiosity, sizing up this man with a dim complexion.
"You sit here and wait a while," he said. Jiang Xiao on the cliff suddenly put on a jet-black cloak and flew down the mountain.
The Florist Puppet behind him walked north, reaching out with both hands, and tiny trees pierced through the earth and grew, becoming increasingly thick and tall.
Where the Florist Puppet walked, patches of lush forest quickly took shape.
On the side, the Explorer Puppet also reached out with both hands, walking south, the soil under his feet becoming soft and turning into mud. In the blink of an eye, Gu Shi'an found that he was already sitting in a flower field.
"Ooh..." The little candle struggled out of Gu Shi'an's arms and hopped to a flower swaying in the wind. Its two little feet jumped lightly, opened its small mouth, and ate a white flower in one bite, chewing it in small bites...
Looking at such a scene, even Gu Shi'an, who wasn't in a good mood, couldn't help but reveal a hint of a smile.
He stood up and walked to the edge of the mountain top, looking down the mountain.
"Ooh..." The little candle hurriedly followed, as if afraid that he would leave.
Gu Shi'an couldn't help but sit down and pat its face, his hand feeling cool.
Rumble...
Below, a rumble came. Gu Shi'an turned his head and saw a behemoth heavily hitting the ground in the distance. This sound... he wondered if the distant flower sea pasture could hear it, and if those cattle could still sleep well.
Jiang Xiao was wearing a cloak and holding a blood-red giant blade in his hand, stabbing it deeply into the ground, his figure flying at top speed, as if slicing tofu.
He didn't know how long had passed before dark clouds covered the night sky, covering up the brilliant stars.
It was drizzling in the sky, but the range of the rain wasn't large, as if it only covered the excavated area, and in the blink of an eye, the drizzle turned into a heavy rain.
Gu Shi'an sighed deeply, looking at the special rain scene in the distance, his eyes desperately searching for that small figure under the dark clouds.
Behind him in the distance, was the sound of trees constantly growing.
All around him, was the increasingly lush and dense beautiful flower bushes.
Gu Shi'an had too many doubts about everything Jiang Xiao showed.
He tightened his grip on the box in his arms and silently lowered his head.
In any case, at this moment, he only had one thought in his heart: This brother, is worth it.
