"Of course," Gu Xu replied, "I don't belong here in the first place. After I finish dealing with some things, I will return to my original place."

Hearing his words, Xi's beautiful eyes showed obvious disappointment.

"Grandpa always said, Master, you are the god who came down to save us." Xi was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Is your original place the fairy world above the nine heavens?"

Gu Xu thought to himself: It seems that in the minds of these people imprisoned in the underworld, the concept of the upper world is deeply rooted. Even though "Tai Shang Hao Tian" has erased their memories, they still miss their original hometown.

"No," he shook his head, "it's my home in the mortal world."

When he said this, Gu Xu felt a little dazed.

Because he doesn't actually have a home.

Or rather, he had.

But from the moment he was wanted by the Qi Dynasty, he could not go back.

"Then will you come back in the future?" The girl lowered her head, not looking at him.

"I don't know either." Gu Xu sighed softly, with a bitter smile on his face.

"Master, if you don't come back, what if I run out of talismans?"

"This……"

Gu Xu has to admit that he didn't think about this issue just now.

"Master, are all the talisman seals you drew one-off?" The girl was quiet for a while, and then started to ask Gu Xu again.

She is always full of curiosity about everything about cultivation and about Gu Xu, and sometimes there are as many questions as rain in April, continuous and unstoppable.

"Yes."

"Why? Is it because the power stored in it is used up?"

Gu Xu nodded again.

The girl's comprehension ability is really amazing.Before he explained the principle of the talisman to her, she had already guessed the answer.

"Master, is there a way to make a talisman that can be used forever?" She asked again, "After the power inside is used up, we can refill it?"

"Yes," Gu Xu replied, "but it's not called a 'tale', it's called an 'array'. The conditions for making an array are more stringent than drawing an amulet."

Xi bit her lip lightly, a little sullen.

At this time, a burly man with bronze skin walked past the two of them.

His upper body was bare, and his lower body was wrapped in animal skins.On his torso, there are gaudy tattoos with various paints, most of which are patterns of beasts, which are quite scary from a distance.

The name of this strong man is "Chongli", he is Xi's elder brother, and he will become the new leader of this tribe in the future.

Xi's gaze swept over the tattoo of the strong man.

"Master?"

"Ok?"

"Why don't you just draw the talisman on my body like a tattoo," the girl suddenly thought, "In this way, you don't need to worry about raw materials and supplementary power."

Gu Xu looked at her with complicated eyes, and remained silent for a while.

"What's the matter, Master?" Xi asked puzzled, "Is there something wrong with my thinking?"

"no problem."

"Then why don't you talk?"

"I just thought of... some things from the past."

...

While talking, Gu Xu sighed silently: So this is the origin of the "Holy Fire Totem" on Zhao Yan's body!
That day, when he and Zhao Yan were trapped in the imperial vault and practicing exercises together, he clearly felt that Zhao Yan's "Sacred Fire Totem" was resonating with his true essence.

But he never expected that the earliest "Sacred Fire Totem" in the world was actually drawn by himself!

"The runes drawn on the body will be very different from those drawn on paper." After thinking for a while, Gu Xu continued, "I need a little time to figure out how it should be drawn. .”

"Master, don't worry, just think about it slowly!"

A happy smile bloomed on Xi's face again, as bright and moving as a bonfire at night.

It seems that to her, it doesn't matter whether the new rune can be researched or not.

All she cared about was that Master would be by her side for the next period of time—at least, she wouldn't leave easily until the rune was drawn.

…………

For the next day or two, Gu Xu silently recalled the "Holy Fire Totem" on Zhao Yan.

Because Zhao Yan was covered by clothes, he had never seen the whole picture of the "Sacred Fire Totem", so he had to rely on his own understanding to try to complete it.

At the same time, the tribe continued to move forward in the wilderness.

From the conversations of everyone, Gu Xu knew that the destination of their trip was a valley called "Shenquan".

There is another tribe called "Blood Wolf" inhabited.

Xi's grandfather believes that the "Red Fire Tribe" where they belonged has fought many times with ghosts and monsters during their migration and escape, resulting in many casualties, and it is difficult for them to support themselves anymore.

They plan to raise their clan to join the "Blood Wolf Tribe" and unite as one to defend against the enemy together.

The original intention was good.

However, on the night when they arrived at Shenquan Valley, Xi Shen angrily ran up to Gu Xu, pulled his sleeves, and complained to him: "Master, they are so annoying, so annoying!"

"What's the matter?" Gu Xu asked.

"The Blood Wolf Tribe agreed to our request to merge," Xi replied, "but they made a condition that I marry the son of their tribal leader.

"Hmph, that bastard already has five women, and he still wants to marry me! It's obviously just for sex!

"Master, you must help me!"

Gu Xu turned to look at her beautiful face.

He knew that in this era when the method of practice had not yet been born, strong men were responsible for defending the tribe, while women were mostly men's vassals.

Around the strongest men, there are often more than one woman gathered to reproduce for him.

It's like a group of lions in the grassland.

But Xi is obviously a different girl.

Unlike normal lionesses.She has gradually revealed signs of becoming a lion king.

"You reject him directly, can't you?"

"Above the wilderness, the strong are respected," Xi shook his head and said, "My father and elder brother can't beat him. I have no right to refuse. Otherwise, the blood wolf tribe will not accept us."

"But you can beat him," Gu Xu said, "You are my apprentice. Even if you only know how to rub flames now, it is enough to beat him to pieces."

"That bastard said he would not accept a woman's challenge." Xi clenched his fists and said angrily.

Then she looked up into Gu Xu's eyes: "Master, only you can help me now. Can you go and tell them that I am already your woman - in this way, according to the rule of the strong respect , if he wants me, he must defeat you first."

"No." Gu Xu shook his head.

"why?"

Xi Xi didn't expect that the always gentle and kind master would reject her request without hesitation, she suddenly became a little flustered, and couldn't help tugging at Gu Xu's sleeve.

"Because you are yourself, an independent individual, not anyone's appendage." Gu Xu bent down and smiled faintly at her, "I can force him to accept your challenge.

"But the person who defeats him in the end must be yourself.

"I can't protect you forever.

"You have to tell him personally that the strong in the wilderness have no gender distinction."

Looking at his handsome face and that sunny smile, Xi was a little absent-minded for a moment.
