Chapter 157: Death

"Actually, Senior Sister wanted us to leave this place before, and now may be the right time."

"But if we leave, Grandma Gu ...... her"

"It's okay, Qing Mu will ask Senior Sister Guan to take care of the village."

Since Li Qingmu said so, Gu Youtian had no reason to refuse.

It's been in Baixia Town for a while, and I've seen everything I should take the saint to see, and the only thing I can't worry about is the ancestral hall of Gujia Village and Grandma Gu, who has guarded the ancestral hall for a lifetime.

But Gu Youtian also knew that he couldn't do anything in Baixia Town, where he was now mixed with fish and dragons, and he had to rely on Li Qingmu's strength in the end.

Gu Youtian naturally understood that Li Qingmu was worried about his own safety, so he proposed to leave.

"In that case, let's wait a few days for Zhu'er to recover, and then we'll set off."

"Well, before leaving, Qing Mu wanted to go to the Gu family ancestral hall and give a pillar of incense to his uncle and aunt."

Last time, because Gu Daoyou was in a bad mood, he didn't have the opportunity to worship incense at all, which was a pity.

Now that the two have developed an intimate relationship, it is natural that they should meet his parents in another capacity.

Even if it's just in the form of incense.

It's kind of showing them themselves.

"Then presumably they will be quite happy when they see the Holy Maiden, thinking that Gu Mou has come out."

Li Qingmu scolded him shamelessly, and he had already thought about where he was going next.

Since he has already seen Gu Daoyou's hometown, should he also be allowed to see his hometown?

Unlike Gu Youtian's Gujia Village, Li Qingmu's hometown is completely deserted, and now it is uninhabited at all, leaving only a huge grassland.

The two agreed on a time and were about to meet Zhu'er.

Zhang Qianyan just walked down from the upper floor.

Gu Youtian gave way very gentlemanly and greeted kindly: "Zhang Zhenren." ”

But Zhang Qianyan, who usually bowed to him and Li Qingmu, just glanced at Gu Youtian when he passed by, didn't speak, and didn't even say hello.

The slightly cold eyes made Gu Youtian slightly stunned.

Why? Have you done anything recently that Zhang Zhenren hates?

Li Qingmu was secretly happy in his heart, it seemed that the real person Xu had some friction with Gu Daoyou.

That's good, the province is always worried, after all, the real person has his hair scattered, but it's very good-looking.

Gu Youtian is not the only one who is confused, and even the party Zhang Qianyan himself is very confused.

Why does when I see Gu Gongzi today, there is always a faint resentment in my heart?

It's not hostility, in short, they no longer have the same intimacy as before, but feel that each other is just passers-by who meet in the water and only know each other's names.

Something wasn't right, and she realized that she wasn't like that before.

Zhang Qianyan stroked the corners of her forehead and frowned slightly.

"Could it be that those worries have started to affect my mood recently?"

Zhang Qianyan sighed, feeling a little regretful for her rude actions, she treats others like this, I am afraid that the other party will not have a good impression of herself.

"Find a chance to explain to Gu Gongzi......"

She shook her head, her gaze became resolute, and she flew towards the location of Li Jing's mansion again.

Today, no matter what, she has to ask the truth!

Zhang Qianyan's air-sweeping speed was extremely fast, and he arrived at Li Jing's mansion again in half an hour, and the two guards of the Grandmaster Realm had already been surprised by her uninvited, anyway, His Highness had explained, don't do anything with her, and don't let her in.

Loyal guards like them, who have been favored by the royal family since childhood, naturally fulfill the orders of His Highness.

So the two grandmasters ignored Zhang Qianyan very tacitly and played chess outside the courtyard by themselves.

Zhang Qianyan stopped and said hello to the two seniors.

But they didn't pay attention to Zhang Qianyan at all.

Zhang Qianyan sat quietly on the side and watched the two old men play chess.

Although the realm of the two guards is much higher than Zhang Qianyan, she is the true disciple of today's Dali National Master after all, and her identity is very different.

Being stared at so seriously by her, the two old men naturally felt unhappy.

The mentality is obvious on the chessboard, and the scene of equal strength quickly became a mess as the two sides made frequent faint moves.

Rao is Zhang Qianyan, who doesn't know much about chess, and he also saw that these two seniors were playing chess indiscriminately.

She didn't say anything, it was polite to watch the chess and not speak, not to mention that the other party was still older than her seniors.

The two guards were helpless, and finally sighed:

"I'm in a mess, I really can't play this chess."

When Zhang Qianyan heard this, he thought that his presence made the two seniors uncomfortable, so he said:

"Is it the juniors who disturbed the two seniors? I also ask the two seniors to forgive, and the juniors will leave. ”

The two grandmaster guards glanced at each other, and finally left Zhang Qianyan behind:

"Master Zhang, don't embarrass the two of us."

"The younger generation doesn't mean that."

"In that case, why is Master Zhang watching chess here?"

"The juniors thought to themselves, maybe the two seniors have had a good time playing chess, so they will let the juniors in."

"If I really do this, I'm afraid I will be imprisoned in heaven tomorrow, and I won't see Master Zhang again."

"The seniors still like to joke, and Li Jing's juniors are still familiar, and he won't treat the two seniors like this."

Good fellows, the two grandmasters couldn't help but twitch their beards.

Calling His Royal Highness the Crown Prince by his name, this is a great li, and this one dares to do this.

"I hope Lord Zhang understands, it's not that we don't want to enlarge people to go in, there is really no way."

Zhang Qianyan nodded, she naturally understood the helplessness of the two seniors.

So she didn't force her way in, but said seriously:

"The juniors know, so the juniors are waiting here, and the two seniors just continue to play chess, and don't pay attention to the juniors."

But she was so stunned and looked at herself, it was hard to ignore it.

The two grandmasters pondered for a while, and finally relieved their mouths slightly, guarded the already chaotic chessboard in front of Zhang Qianyan, and asked:

"Master Zhang, what do you see?"

"A chaotic chessboard with no rules to speak of."

The two Grandmasters nodded and continued to ask:

"In that case, does Master Zhang know why this is happening?"

"The juniors offended, and the mood of the two seniors fluctuated a little."

The two grandmasters showed a taught-worthy smile:

"Doesn't Master Zhang understand?"

Zhang Qianyan was stunned, as if she had grasped something in her heart, but she was still a little uncertain:

"The younger generation is dull, and I hope the seniors will speak clearly."

The two Grandmasters restored the chessboard to its previous state, explaining:

"I also know that Lord Zhang is here for that Langya Sword Cultivation, but Lord Zhang, please take a look."

In front of him is a black and white chessboard.

"Now this Baixia Town is a huge chessboard, and the chess player, no need for the old man to say it, Lord Zhang should also understand."

Zhang Qianyan nodded, now that Baixia Town has poured into various forces, there are many more chess players than on the chessboard.

"And as a chess player, the most important thing is not to be in a chaotic mood, like me and other people with poor concentration, this life will not be able to be this chess player."

One of the grandmasters took a white piece and pointed at Zhang Qianyan:

"And you, Master Zhang, can't be it."

"Please also ask the seniors to teach me." Zhang Qianyan did not show displeasure, but humbly asked for advice.

The Grandmaster pondered for a long time, thinking about how he could raise this persistent Master Zhang without being punished by His Highness.

"Master Zhang's world-beating master, the National Teacher, is one of the chess players, but Master Zhang can only become a certain piece on this chessboard, maybe it will be of great use at a certain moment, but after all, he can't control the overall situation."

"Because Lord Zhang and I are all in a mess at the moment, if we force ourselves into the game, it will inevitably make the chessboard a mess like before."

"Presumably, the National Teacher also had such considerations, so he didn't tell Master Zhang the truth."

Zhang Qianyan pursed her lips slightly, looking serious.

Could it be that the master really thinks so?

Today's chess players are nothing more than a few big forces.

First, the Dali royal family, his own master is also one of the forces on this side.

Second, Prince Li Jing, what does he want to do?

Three, the demon clan.

Fourth, the major holy places that came here in search of the innate spirit treasure, although they did not participate in the struggle here, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not come out to get a piece of the pie after the situation becomes more chaotic.

Is it really not good to have your own mentality?

Zhang Qianyan suddenly remembered how cold he was to Gu Youtian before going out.

Maybe the master is right.

"The juniors probably understand, the juniors want to talk to Li Jing, and ask the two seniors to pass on a message for the juniors."

The two grandmasters were helpless, but they didn't expect that this would not convince the future national teacher.

They had no choice but to report the news.

The result is, naturally, gone.

Zhang Qianyan didn't continue to wait this time, but went back to the inn directly after being refused.

After leading the green cow back to the backyard, she saw Gu Youtian who was feeding the geese with the green bamboo.

Lu Zhu naturally wanted to show himself in front of Gu Youtian, and wanted to know the secret in his mouth that even the saint didn't know, so he dragged him to feed the geese together.

Seeing Zhang Qianyan walking towards the two, Luzhu first murdered her as a warning, and then left first.

She naturally understood that this Great Yin Yang Warlock in the late Yuan Infant period must have something to talk about when he came to find someone surnamed Gu.

And from now on, she will learn from Sister Xiaoxi and be a good maid.

Gu Youtian hesitated for a moment, but still said hello to Zhang Qianyan.

"Zhang Zhenren."

Zhang Qianyan smiled, apologized:

"There was something important to deal with before, but I snubbed Gu Gongzi, and I apologized here."

Gu Youtian smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he didn't take it to heart.

was treated like that by Zhang Qianyan before, he almost thought that this person knew what he had done to her in the simulation through some kind of heavenly snooping spell.

Zhang Qianyan came to Gu Youtian this time, in addition to apologizing, he also wanted to ask him.

"Since the last time I talked to Gu Gongzi about the case of the Nawu people killing Wang's widow, Poor Dao has been thinking about ways to break the situation day and night."

"After many days, Poor Dao has to admit that maybe what Gu Gongzi said is more reasonable."

"The abuse of strict law can lead to some extreme atrocities, and although he is quite reluctant to give a sexual order to those who have committed the crime of forcible punishment, he has to admit that this does reduce the probability of death for the victim."

"Thank you Gu Gongzi for your doubts."

Zhang Qianyan solemnly saluted Gu You.

Gu You poured out a haha and passed perfunctorily.

Zhang Qianyan continued to ask his own questions:

"Poor Dao has been thinking a lot lately, and today I take the opportunity to ask Gu Gongzi, if I encounter a conflict between emotion and reason, how should I choose?"

"The real person refers to conscience and reason?"

"That's roughly what it means, and it's not wrong for Gu Gongzi to understand it like this."

Gu Youtian thought for a moment, and said to Zhang Qianyan seriously:

"Real person, Gu asked real person a question."

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"If one day, the real person and Gu have no cultivation, they are in the desert and cannot find a water source, and at this time, two pots of water suddenly appear in front of us, one of which is clear water, and the other is a highly poisonous liquid, and the real person happens to be able to see through which of the two pots of water is water and which pot is venom, what choice will the real person make at this time?"

Zhang Qianyan was slightly stunned, and soon his eyes were empty, and he began to seriously think about Gu Youtian's question.

In other words, if she chooses water, then Gu Gongzi will drink the venom and die, while she will survive.

It doesn't seem too good.

And what if he chose Venom and left the water to Gu Gongzi?

It seems to be a correct answer, but if you really face this situation, do you really have the courage to risk your life to let Gu Gongzi survive?

She thought she couldn't.

Just when she hesitated, Gu Youtian spoke:

"The real person is really kind-hearted, in fact, during the time when the real person was hesitating, Gu, who could also see through which pot of water was poisonous, had already taken the first step to drink the water, and would try his best to pour another pot of venom into the throat of the real person."

Zhang Zhenren suddenly raised his eyebrows, a little sullen: "Gu Gongzi, you are also ......"

But she didn't know what to be angry about, and from the other party's point of view, he didn't do anything wrong.

Gu Youtian continued:

"True people, the decision will kill the conscience of the real person, otherwise the conscience will kill the real person."

"Reason and conscience, from the perspective of righteousness, everyone will choose conscience, but if it involves individuals, it is difficult to say."

Zhang Qianyan was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and it took a long time to recover.

Finally laughed at himself:

"I see, the poor Dao has been cultivated in vain for more than ten years, but it is not as thorough as Gu Gongzi's view."

"It's just Gu Mou's nonsense, and the real person can't take it seriously."

"Childe, don't be presumptuous......"

……

Li Jing's house.

Jian Nandou, who was in prison at that time, was sitting quietly, wiping his sword very seriously.

Li Jing stood beside him, but he paced back and forth uneasily.

When Jian Nandou saw him like this, he felt upset and scolded: "Li Jing, don't turn around, the young master who turns is dizzy." ”

Li Jing didn't get angry with him, but frowned and said, "The demon clan has put pressure on my father and asked me to hand you over to them." ”

Jian Nandou was not surprised, but said with a smile: "This is very good, but it can make our plan go smoothly." ”

Li Jing was silent, and after a long time, he finally spoke:

"Brother Jian, are you ready?"

Jian Nandou threw the spotlessly clean saber to Li Jing.

Li Jing took the saber with a solemn and solemn expression.

He looked at his best friend, and his voice was sad:

"Please Brother Sword to die!"
