Tomb Robber: Oops, I think I met a tomb robber.

Qiuyue really didn't notice Zhang Shouxu approaching. She was concentrating on drawing one talisman paper after another. After finishing each one, she placed it on the table in front of the official. By the time the whole table was full, she had only drawn half of the talismans.

"Oops, there's no room left."

After Qiuyue put down the latest piece of talisman paper, she found that there was no empty space on the table, not even room for cotton pudding. The two little guys were squatting on Xiaoguan's shoulders, one on the left and one on the right. Fortunately, they were just kittens now, and they were not too heavy. Xiaoguan's thin shoulders could still support them, otherwise they really couldn't stay there.

"Lord Linzu, do you need me to bring you a new table?"

Zhang Shouxu asked in a low voice. Qiuyue waved her hand without even turning her head and said, "No, no, that's all. These talismans are enough for now. The remaining ones are the ones that are not often used. There is no point in drawing them."

"Yes."

Zhang Shouxu responded in a low voice and then closed his mouth. Qiuyue lowered her head and looked at the talismans on the table. After roughly identifying them, she began to introduce their functions to the official. The reason why she did this was mainly because she planned to draw some of these talismans and give them to him. If she didn't introduce them in advance, she was afraid that he would use the wrong talismans in the future.

While she remembered him as a grown-up, no doubt quite formidable, even seemingly cultivating immortality, he was still a child now. Who knew he'd be sent away without her? Accidents seemed to happen quite often. She couldn't guarantee he wouldn't have transformed back into an adult by the time he was sent away. What if he encountered danger afterward? He was so young and docile now. If he got hurt, she wouldn't be there to protect or heal him. Better to be prepared. It wouldn't be a bad idea to learn more about talismans, just to broaden her horizons.

When Qiuyue introduced one type of talisman paper after another, Xiaoguan and Cotton Pudding, who were listening attentively, were trying hard to identify and remember the talisman papers, but Zhang Shouxu was more and more shocked as he listened.

There are peace talismans that can resist external damage and poisons, whitening talismans that can quickly clean up all filth, telescopic talismans that can see things thousands of miles away, five-thunder talismans that can eliminate ghosts and evil things, house-guarding talismans that can keep the house safe, barrier talismans that can form a barrier to prevent outsiders from entering, soundproofing talismans that can isolate internal sounds from being heard by outsiders, and so on. No matter which one, they all have amazing effects and are simply divine means. Although there are Taoists in the tribe who can draw talismans, the talismans they draw are not so powerful.

Is this the god?

After introducing all the talismans in one breath, Qiuyue took a breath and then looked at the official and said, "Little Official, can you remember so many talismans? Do you want me to explain them a few more times?"

The official shook his head, looked at the table full of talisman paper and said, "I remember it."

Qiuyue's eyes widened slightly, and she was very surprised: "You remember so much?"

Xiaoguan nodded, Qiuyue blinked, and suddenly pointed to one of the many talismans: "Then Xiaoguan, tell me, what kind of talisman is this~"

"Nightmare-transforming talisman."

Qiuyue was shocked and pointed at several more and looked at him, and the official called out the corresponding ones one by one: "Sound-isolating Talisman, Whitening Talisman, Five Thunder Talisman and Water-avoiding Talisman."

!!!

"Wow, you're so awesome, little official! That's awesome!"

Qiuyue clapped her hands happily, and looking at his eyes filled with smiles, those who didn't know would have thought that it was a mother praising her child who had just learned that one plus one equals two. Xiaoguan's mouth corners slightly raised when he heard that. He lowered his head, and the tips of his ears turned a little red.

Is this what it feels like to be praised?

"Wait, I'll draw some more talismans and give them to you later~"

Qiuyue curved her eyebrows and started painting again. As for why she didn't draw the amulet directly on Xiaoguan, it was actually because she was thinking that he would start school and practice martial arts soon. Although it would be safe if he had the amulet, there might be a situation where the trainees couldn't touch him during sparring. In this case, he wouldn't be able to train well. Although he might get hurt without the amulet, it would allow him to truly learn something.

For his growth, he had to endure the pain from practicing martial arts and couldn't just protect him blindly. Even though she would be heartbroken at that time, fortunately she had a cure and would definitely not let him suffer for too long.

Speaking of martial arts, Qiuyue couldn't help but ponder for a moment. Why did she remember that the little brother practiced Taoism when he grew up? Although it was true that he was small now, there would be a time when he would turn back into an adult, right?

For someone who has already cultivated immortality, wouldn't it be a bit of a waste of talent to learn weaker martial arts?

Thinking of this, Qiuyue couldn't help but look up at the official. Seeing that he was concentrating on looking at the talisman paper, she thought to herself: Forget it, just learn it. It's never a bad thing to learn more. It's not certain when he will turn back into an adult. It's not bad to learn martial arts and other new knowledge to kill time. After all, in ancient times when entertainment was scarce, it would be really boring if you didn't find something to do.

After confirming again that Xiaoguan was going to learn martial arts, Qiuyue concentrated on drawing talismans. This time, she only drew about twenty talismans before stopping, because she estimated that it was already eight or nine o'clock, and it was better for the child to go to bed early. However, he had to take a bath before going to bed.

"Young Master, it's getting late. You should take a bath and then go to bed. There's a hot spring pool behind the palace. Do you want to take a bath? Or should we just use the Whitening Talisman?"

Qiuyue put down the pen in her hand and asked him softly. The official raised his head when he heard the voice. He said, "The Whitening Talisman will be fine."

Qiuyue wasn't very surprised by his choice. She chuckled and said, "Okay, then take one and stick it on yourself."

The young official hummed lightly, stretched out his hand and picked up a whitening talisman and put it on his hand. The cotton and pudding nestled on his shoulder were also cleaned by the whitening talisman. The two little guys opened their cat eyes wide, and their fur stood up in surprise at the feeling as if they were washed by warm water.

Hey! How come they are also washed white?

Seeing this, Qiuyue stood up and said, "Let's go. I'll take you to bed."

Xiaoguan did not refuse when he heard this. He stood up obediently and followed Qiuyue. Mianhua and Pudding were held in his arms. Zhang Shouxu followed silently at the end with a lantern. The three of them and the two cats walked towards Xiaoguan's room together.

The room where the minor official lived was actually a side hall, with a large space, luxurious decoration and a high bed.

Yes, it was very high, at least it looked only twenty or thirty centimeters lower than Xiaoguan. Qiuyue originally wanted to ask Zhang Shouxu to get a stool for him to stand on, but after Xiaoguan put the cotton pudding on the bed, he pushed himself up with his hands and easily got on the bed. This made Qiuyue, who was about to speak, swallow her words silently.

I almost forgot, all the children in the Zhang family can climb high and long jump, so this small height is nothing.

"Go to sleep, little official. Cotton and Pudding will stay here with you. I'll stay outside. If you need anything, just call me or Shouxu. Be good."

After Xiaoguan took off his coat and lay down, Qiuyue reached out and pulled the quilt to cover him, then gently touched his little head and spoke softly. Xiaoguan lowered his head and let her touch him, and responded obediently. However, Cotton and Pudding were not happy. They didn't want to stay here, they wanted to be with Fairy Sister.

"Meow!" No no!

"Meow!" I want to be with my sister!

The cat's meowing attracted Qiuyue's attention. She looked at the two furry little balls and couldn't help but reach out and touch the kitten's head one by one, coaxing them: "Be good, you are also little babies. Little babies need to go to bed early. Go to sleep obediently~"

"Meow..." Okay...

"Meow~" Okay, I'm a good baby, I listen to my sister~

Cotton and Pudding each responded and snuggled up next to Xiaoguan obediently. Xiaoguan blinked his eyes and did not look at them. Instead, he stared at Qiuyue intently. He wanted to take one more look at this sister who was so gentle to him before going to bed.

Qiuyue would never have thought that Xiaoguan was actually feeling uneasy at this moment. He was afraid that he was still running a fever, that he was just hallucinating, and that after waking up, all this beauty would become a dream, and she was just an imaginary person in his dream. There was no one who was so gentle to him at all.

If Qiuyue knew what he was thinking, she would probably faint from heartache.

But Qiuyue couldn't read minds after all. When she saw Xiaoguan looking at her, she smiled softly with her eyebrows curved. The soft light emitted by the lantern Zhang Shouxu was holding made her look even gentler. Qiuyue leaned over and gently kissed him on the forehead, saying softly, "Good night, Xiaoguan. Have a sweet dream~"

Although it was the first time Xiaoguan heard the words "good night", he still understood what they meant. When the gentle kiss touched his forehead and then left, his grip on the quilt tightened slightly, and he pursed his lips before saying, "Sister...good night..."

Good night, my sister who is so gentle to him. If all this is true...

"Well, good night~"

Qiuyue touched Xiaoguan's face and then touched Cotton Pudding's little cat head, then she stood up and turned to leave. Zhang Shouxu followed her closely with a lantern in his hand. Xiaoguan stared at Qiuyue's back until the last ray of light left, then he slowly closed his eyes.

I hope I can see her again when I wake up tomorrow.
