Chapter 18 Incoming News(1/5)

That day, after Xie Wanyou settled the matter with the Xie family, he took Xiaobai and left Lintian City with Luo Ruxi, and boarded the flying magic weapon heading to the world of cultivation.

Luo Ruxi's flying magic weapon is a small flying boat, which looks like an exquisite and exquisite boat. When Luo Ruxi took it out from the Qiankun bag, it was only as big as a palm.

Xie Xiaobai squatted on Xie Wanyou's shoulder, peering at the mini boat in his aunt's hand, with curiosity hidden in his big gray-blue eyes.

Luo Ruxi thought that Xiaobai's unseen appearance was so cute, she couldn't help but want to tease it, and deliberately said mysteriously: "Xiaobai, watch it!"

As she spoke, she activated her spiritual power, and then threw the flying boat in her hand far away. The palm-sized mini flying boat immediately began to grow in size.

As expected, Xie Xiaobai was so shocked by Luo Ruxi's operation that he opened his mouth, opened his eyes wide and looked at the suddenly enlarged boat, and even forgot to wag his tail.

Luo Ruxi relied on the fact that her child was still young and didn't understand, so she was very arrogant: "How about it, aunt can make things bigger, isn't it amazing?"

Xie Xiaobai nodded vigorously, with admiration in his eyes: "Auntie is super awesome!"

A small skill in manipulating magic weapons easily gained the admiration from Xiaobai. Luo Ruxi felt happy in her heart and said modestly: "It's just a simple spell, nothing more."

Xie Xiaobai looked at Luo Ruxi expectantly: "Can aunty make Xiaobai bigger too? Then Xiaobai can protect her mother!"

"?" Luo Ruxi was caught off guard and rolled over, her eyes flickering: "This... uh... it doesn't seem to work, because Auntie's spell can only make the boat bigger, but not Xiaobai."

Xie Xiaobai couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he learned that he couldn't grow up immediately. Xie Wanyou touched his little head, curled up his lips and said with a smile: "If everyone could grow up in a flash, there would be no one like Xiaobai in the world."

He’s a kid, right?”

Xie Xiaobai thought for a while, felt that what his mother said made sense, and nodded.

Xie Wanyou said calmly: "There is no shortcut to growth. If you want to grow up quickly, the only way is to eat well."

Luo Ruxi quickly nodded in agreement: "My aunt testifies that what your mother said is true!"

Xie Xiaobai listened as if he didn't understand, but only remembered that he had to eat more to grow up faster.

It secretly clenched its paws and decided to listen to its mother and aunt and grow up by eating!

After the flying boat completely grew in size, Luo Ruxi happily took Xie Wanyou onto the flying boat and bent down to enter the cabin.

The flying boat looked small and small from the outside, but after entering, Xie Wanyou discovered that there was something else inside the flying boat, with a very spacious space.

Luo Ruxi warmly greeted Xie Wanyou to sit down on the cushioned chair, then took out various snacks from the secret compartment and placed them all on the table in front of Xie Wanyou: "Next, we will fly three times in a row.

It’s been a boring four days, so let’s eat something to fill our stomachs first, and then at night, we’ll go down to find an inn to stay.”

As Luo Ruxi said this, she sank into the chair next to her and made a gesture with her hands: "Okay, let's set off now!"

Xie Wanyou soon felt a slight sense of weightlessness, and the scenery outside the window gradually became empty.

The flying boat has already taken off.

This is Xie Wanyou's first time to personally experience an "airplane" in the world of cultivation. It is impossible to say that it is not novel. Fortunately, the flying boat flies very steadily and does not encounter air turbulence from time to time like an airplane. It also does not make any noise. For Xie Wanyou, a person who suffers from airsickness.

Very friendly.

——But it seems not very friendly to the cubs who are experiencing high-altitude flight for the first time.

At first, Xie Xiaobai lay curiously by the window and looked down. It wasn't until he found that the ground was getting further and further away from him and the height of the flying boat was getting higher and higher.

, her ears were turned back into airplane ears, she buried her face firmly in Xie Wanyou's arms, and said with a trembling voice: "Mother...good, so high..."

The little white in my arms was trembling, it was really scared.

Xie Wanyou was both loving and funny, gently stroking Xiaobai's back and smoothing his hair: "Xiaobai is not afraid, we won't fall."

Luo Ruxi also didn't expect that Xiaobai was afraid of heights, so she quickly comforted her: "Auntie's flying boat is very safe. If Xiaobai is afraid, just-imagine this place is Bihetang! Imagine that we are not flying!"

Xie Xiaobai tried hard to imagine for a while, and finally his childish voice was full of tears: "I'm sorry, auntie, Xiaobai can't do it..."

It was obviously a very pitiful cub, but Luo Ruxi was inexplicably made to laugh, and she managed to hold back her laughter: "It's okay, let's think of other ways!"

Xiaobai let out a pitiful whine from his throat, curled up his tail, and almost shrank himself into a ball of plush. The fur all over his body exploded, and the whole ball of fur immediately fluffed up in a big circle.

Luo Ruxi stopped laughing now, and came over worriedly, coaxing distressedly: "Don't be afraid, Xiaobai, do you want some candies? Auntie has a lot of candies here, and they are all very delicious!"

Xie Xiaobai shook his head haggardly, unable to speak, and his whole body was trembling slightly.

Xie Wanyou felt that this was not possible. Since Xiaobai was afraid of heights, he had to find a way to divert his attention so that he could not make him think about whether he would fall all the time.

She glanced out the window and suddenly said: "Xiao Bai, we have flown above the white clouds now. Haven't you always been curious about whether there are gods above the white clouds?"

As soon as Xie Xiaobai heard the word "god", his cocked ears suddenly stood up.

Xie Wanyou couldn't help but laugh.

The little white idiot has always thought that the gods live on the white clouds. Now that they are really on the white clouds, how could this little thing miss the opportunity to find the gods?

Sure enough, the tips of Xiaobai's ears twitched. After hesitating for a moment, he carefully raised his little head and glanced quickly out of the window with the corner of his eye.

The flying boat sailed steadily through the curling clouds and mist. In Xiaobai's sight, there was only a vast and majestic sea of ​​clouds, and the ground could no longer be seen at all.

If you can't see the ground, you can't judge the height. Xie Xiaobai's fear has been reduced a little, and the exploded fur has gradually returned to normal.

Xie Wanyou pretended to look around for a few times, and then said distressedly: "Mother has not found the immortal, should Xiaobai look for it with her?"

When Xie Xiaobai heard this, he immediately stopped caring about anything else and nodded like crazy: "Yes! Xiaobai wants to find a god!"

Xie Wanyou asked deliberately: "Isn't Xiaobai scared now?"

"Afraid, scared." Xie Xiaobai shrank his paws and said a little shyly: "But gods should like brave children. Xiaobai who is not brave will not be able to find gods..."

Xie Wanyou laughed dumbly.

What a thick layer of filters Xiaobai has put on the gods in his mind.

Gods only like well-behaved children, gods do not like bad children, gods only grant the wishes of good children, and gods punish disobedient bad children.

In essence, it is just a rhetoric technique used by adults to control children's obedience.

When she was a child in the orphanage, Xie Wanyou often heard such admonitions. She also listened to them for a while and tried hard to be a good child like the gods liked. But in that orphanage, kindness meant that she could be bullied.

She suffered a lot because of it.

But those "gods" who asked her to be kind did not come to save her.

Later she figured it out, even if there are gods, are they all perfect? ​​If they themselves are not perfect, why should they expect others to be perfect?

Xie Wanyou did not intend to let Xiaobai follow her old path, and told Xiaobai seriously: "It doesn't matter even if Xiaobai is not brave. No one is perfect. If the gods don't come to see Xiaobai, it must be the problem of the gods and him.

Something happened at the last minute, or I overslept and got lost on the road, so I was delayed."

Xie Xiaobai blinked in confusion in Xie Wanyou's arms: "But... can gods also oversleep and get lost?"

Xie Wanyou said: "That's right. Otherwise, why would the gods never hear us when we make wishes to the gods? Either the gods are deaf or they have overslept."

Xie Xiaobai thought for a while, nodded his head and agreed: "Mother is right, the gods in the sky also have shortcomings."

Luo Ruxi was amazed next to her and couldn't help but sigh: "It would be great if my mother had said these words to me when I was young. She always liked to scare me, saying things like 'Naughty children will do it.'"

If I'm kidnapped by a ghost at night, now, I don't dare to expose my feet under the quilt when I sleep at night, and I've never been very courageous."

Xie Wanyou pondered: "It seems that the elders like to say such things, and their children are influenced by them, so they become the next generation of elders who like to say such things."

Luo Ruxi nodded vigorously: "If you want to break this cycle, let's start with our generation!"

The flying boat flew above the clouds, passing through groups of snow-white clouds from time to time.

The clouds passing by outside the window attracted Xie Xiaobai's attention. Children are forgetful. Xiaobai can no longer remember how high he is standing. Now his eyes are filled with white clouds passing outside the flying boat: "Mother

, is this the cloud in the sky? Xiaobai is so close to the cloud!"

Luo Ruxi immediately said: "Xiaobai, do you want to touch it? We can stand on the bow of the boat and touch it~"

Xie Xiaobai's eyes immediately started to shine, and he turned to look at Xie Wanyou eagerly.

Xie Wanyou rubbed his little head, hugged it and stood up: "Let's go and take a look together."

Leaving the cabin, I was greeted by a cold feeling.

The fur on Xie Xiaobai's body was messed up by the wind, and he couldn't help but shrink into Xie Wanyou's arms. He only stretched out his paws to carefully catch a white cloud that was passing by.

It turned out to be a waste.

"?" Xie Xiaobai tilted his head in confusion, stretched out his little tongue and licked his paw, but could not taste Baiyun's taste.

When he was locked up in a small yard, one of the things Xie Xiaobai often did was to squat at the door and observe the ever-changing white clouds, guessing what they would taste like - this was one of the few things Xie Xiaobai did during that gloomy life.

Not much fun.

In Xiao Bai's imagination, the passing clouds in the sky must feel soft and taste sweet.

But in fact, clouds have no smell, and Xiaobai can't touch them.

Xie Xiaobai felt like he had been deceived by Bai Yun.

It nestled in Xie Wanyou's arms, opened its mouth to the floating white clouds as if it didn't believe in evil, turned its head and bit it several times.

Of course it couldn't bite anything. The misty clouds passed through its body, leaving only slightly cold water vapor.

Xie Xiaobai buried himself in Xie Wanyou's arms in despair, and let out a frustrated "goo" from his throat, which sounded like a complaint and some kind of unconscious coquettishness.

Xie Wanyou poked its tail: "Mom can't touch the clouds, and no one can touch the clouds. It's actually the water we drink. When the water reaches the sky, it turns into these white clouds."

Hearing that the clouds were made of water, Xie Xiaobai gently shook the tips of his ears, and suddenly felt that the clouds floating in the sky had lost the sense of mystery they once had.

No wonder clouds have no taste and water has no taste either.
