The emperor of the world, under his rule, naturally has countless subjects, every word and deed, determines life and death, it is not an uncommon thing, but although Gu Meng has also been an emperor, but only one night, he has never really decided a person's life and death with words.

Not at the beginning, and now that I think about it, it is even more unlikely that anyone will die because of his words, whether they are willing or unwilling.

But now, although Han Shan said that he was begging for death, he still listened to his "holy message" Seeing a person like Han Shan, Gu Luo didn't know what to say, even though he was a wicked person, his heart was not so black.

Looking at Han Shan, who had lost his vitality in front of him, Gu Meng said calmly: "Then I'll take you and walk up and down this Nanchu." ”

With a wave of his hand, a fire was lit and Han Shan's body was burned.

He took out a small jar, put his ashes inside, and stepped out of the temple.

Thinking of Han Shan himself, he is also willing to completely turn into ashes after he dies, as if he has never been in this world.

Gu Meng had actually seen a strong sense of remorse and self-blame in him, so he thought about keeping his life.

Who knew that he himself thought more decisively, perhaps because of Gu Ming's identity that affected him.

Gu Meng shook his head.

Turning his head to look at this Taoist temple, Gu Meng stretched out his hand, and a fire was lit.

This sinful place has just turned into ashes.

Summoning the candle tour, Gu Luo walked with the sword, and returned to Xishui City.

It's still the middle of the night, and it's still a night without lights.

Gu Meng stepped into the dilapidated courtyard, the mother and son had already fallen asleep in the house, these days, they have been worried, today they have experienced such things, and now they can finally sleep well, the tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and naturally fell asleep.

Gu Meng didn't enter the house, but just sat on the threshold.

Looking up at the sky, the bright moon in the sky at this moment has been blocked by dark clouds and cannot be seen.

Strangers are in a foreign land, looking up at the moon, and they will not be homesick because there is no moon.

Gu Meng is in his hometown, looking up at the moon, there is a moon or not, in fact, it doesn't matter.

Retracting his gaze, Gu Meng heard a sound of footsteps, and he didn't need to turn his head, he naturally knew that it was his little senior sister, he moved to the side, Luo Xue came over, and happened to sit beside him.

Looking at the little junior brother who was a little tired between her eyebrows, Luo Xue asked distressedly, "Little junior brother, is it going well?"

Gu Meng squeezed out a smile, "There's no problem, it's just that I killed more people, and my hands are a little sore." ”

If this were to be changed to the past, Luo Xue would probably have to make fun of her little junior brother, how many years have she only practiced swords, and she forgot what kind of small role she was back then, and now she is starting to pose in front of my little sister?

But at this moment, Luo Xue saw that her junior brother was not very interested, so she didn't have this thought, and just asked, "You killed that guy in that Taoist temple?"

Han Shan didn't come back with him, and Luo Xue thought that he was slashed with a sword after Gu Luo found the Taoist temple.

Gu Meng smiled bitterly: "I want to save his life, but he is bent on death." ”

Luo Xue was puzzled: "What's the matter?"

Gu Meng whispered about what happened after leaving here, there was nothing to hide, so every word was a big truth that couldn't be more sincere.

After listening, Luo Xue first sighed, and then muttered: "If you talk about it like that, doesn't it mean that that guy is also bent on dying because of the little junior brother?"

Gu Meng looked at Luo Xue, thinking about the previous things, he didn't speak, Han Shan had kindness in his heart This is true, after seeing him, he went to malignancy, which is also true, but as for why he had to die, in addition to what he said that he really didn't want a wicked person like himself to live, the other thing was that he really didn't know how to face Gu Ming, who was the late emperor of Southern Chu.

A person has several layers of identity, and when he is a native of Southern Chu, Han Shan really can't face Gu Ming, which makes him very tormented, so he can only die.

Gu Meng said softly: "I never thought that an emperor was so important to his subjects, and besides, I am still a deposed emperor who has no country. ”

Gu Ming, who has only been an emperor for one night, although he has this identity, he has never been able to feel this feeling, and he doesn't understand what it is.

Luo Xue tilted her head and thought for a while, and asked, "Could this be like how we feel about Master?"

Hearing this, Gu Meng shook his head, "Maybe it's a bit like the relationship between the sect disciples and the sect leader, but there will definitely be differences." ”

Luo Xue opened her mouth and wanted to ask something, but Gu Meng had already shook her head, "Little Senior Sister, let me think about it myself, maybe I can't figure it out, just take a walk." ”

Luo Xue had no choice but to nod, and then sat with Gu Meng for a while, and then left boredly, leaving only her little junior brother alone.

Gu Meng sat all night, and when it was dawn, the woman and the child came out, the woman was carrying a small package, and now they really had nothing to take away.

It was just a few changes of clothes.

After a night's work, the child seemed to have forgotten about yesterday's events, and seemed a little happy, but the woman still looked a little sad.

Before getting up and leaving this dilapidated courtyard, the child asked two questions, the first was Han Shan's life and death, Gu Meng took out the jar from his arms, handed it to the child, and said with a smile: "Take him to take a look, what to do if he is buried in the mountain after that, you have the final say." ”

The kid nodded heavily, although Han Shan had done a lot of evil, he could remember the little kindness to him.

As for the second question, it is more simple and direct, which is to ask Gu Meng where he is going.

"Let's go see the Yingdu first, and then go to Zheshan. ”

Hearing the word Yingdu, the child was very excited, "Brother Fairy, I know that it is the national capital of our Southern Chu, but I have never been to see it, how is it, have you been there? It must be very big, the national capital of our Southern Chu must be very magnificent." ”

Gu Meng nodded and said, "I've been there for many years, and it's not bad to say big, but it's insignificant compared to the countries I saw later." ”

Hearing this not very satisfactory answer, the child lowered his head, but quickly raised his head again and smiled: "It doesn't matter, the big of other families is the big of other families, but Yingdu is from our Nanchu, and the emperors and masters were there before, it must be very good!"

Gu Meng snorted, and in the face of such an enthusiastic child, he had to change the topic and ask, "I haven't asked you what your name is?"

"My name is Zhou Zhou, my father gave me it, and I don't know what it means, I didn't say it, what about you, fairy brother?"

"Gu Ming. ”

"Ignorant of everyone. ”

......

......

Out of Xishui City, towards Yingdu City, but not in a straight line, Gu Meng was not in a hurry, he wanted to see as much as possible of today's Nanchu.

So a few days later, a group of four of them made a detour to the seaside.

Nanchu is on the seaside, and when he goes out to sea, it is the South China Sea of the Foggy Monk.

Thinking of the Foggy Monk, Gu Meng actually had something to say, one of the lords of the four seas had some friendship with the ancestor of the Gu family, that the first emperor of the Gu family was obviously an extremely powerful cultivator, but he did not expand the territory of Southern Chu, but disappeared, which really made Gu Meng puzzled.

He is reluctant to do the restoration of the country at the moment because he is incapable, and he doesn't want to let many people die, but that first emperor is different, his realm is high, not to mention dominating the world, at least he can expand the territory of Southern Chu a lot.

But it didn't happen.

This may also be a mystery that future generations will never know.

Maybe it can also be known by future generations, but if you want to unravel it, it's not easy anyway.

The four of them came to the beach and lived in a fish village, Gu Meng said that he wanted to rest for a few days, of course Zhouzhou was happy, he had been pressed by the nature of children because of the difficulties of life over the years, and he didn't go out of line in the first few days.

It's just that this happy energy didn't last long, and only then did she say a word to her mother, and she was directly rejected, the woman looked serious, and said a lot of things to her only son, anyway, she didn't want him to go to sea, according to her, this sea is too dangerous, maybe this sea, her son will not come back.

Then let her live by herself when the time comes?

Zhou Zhou is not an ignorant person, he immediately knelt down, said that he would not go to sea, and happened to meet Gu Ming, who went to the beach to pick up a basket of conch, and came back, he first stood at the door and watched for a while, and after the woman finished speaking, he walked in, put the basket on the ground, clapped his hands, and said that he would go to sea to fish, he also wanted to go, whether he could let Zhou Zhou go together, whether he could catch fish or not, he would definitely bring this little guy back.

The woman didn't see the scene where Gu Meng had killed hundreds of people by himself, but a few days ago, before they came to the beach, they had encountered a group of thieves who wanted to rob money.

At that time, it was Gu Ming, and she pointed at the bluestone on the side of the road, and a large bluestone shattered, which reminded her of the scene where Gu Ming's sword was nailed to the person's head in the courtyard before.

Then he really decided that Gu Meng was the immortal who flew away in the mouth of those storytellers.

Now that Gu Meng has spoken, although she is still a little worried, she is embarrassed to say anything, and finally can only nod.

Gu Meng picked up a conch from the basket, and then took Zhou Zhou out of the house, and the two of them walked towards a fishing boat, neither of them spoke.

Walking along the beach, the two people who stepped on a series of footprints came to the fishing boat like this, and after explaining their intentions, Gu Meng handed out a silver ingot, and whispered something in the fisherman's ear, and then the latter nodded, saying that they should wait for a while, this time they are going to sea, but they must check the fishing boat well before going to sea.

So Gu Meng walked back and sat on the beach.

Zhou Zhou sat beside him, looking a little melancholy.

Gu Meng didn't look at him, just looked at the sea, and said to himself: "Are you a little angry, with your mother?"

It is also common for children to be angry with their parents.

Zhou Zhou looked at the sand in front of him and said, "I don't have the anger of my mother, I'm just a little depressed." ”

Gu Meng hit the nail on the head and said: "Is it because I think that I am not an ignorant person, I have already done a lot of things, why do I want to do something, but my mother does not allow it, and she doesn't think about it?"

Zhou Zhou's eyes widened, and there were a lot of question marks for Gu Ming, who knew his thoughts so well, and he even wondered if this fairy brother really had the ability to read what people thought and thought, and he could know everything.

Gu Meng seemed to know everything, so he just shook his head and said: "There is a mind reading technique, but it is not something that we can do if the two swords practice it, and if the two realms are not far apart, the mind reading technique will work." ”

Zhou Zhou listened in a fog and didn't quite understand.

But he seemed to have some interest in mind reading, and he asked curiously, "Brother Fairy, you don't know?"

Gu Meng shook his head.

Gu Meng said: "I only know how to practice swords, other techniques, you can ask my senior sister after you go up the mountain, if you have the opportunity, ask my master, if he is willing to teach you, it will be the best." ”

Zhou Zhou nodded, and quickly brought the topic back to the topic, "I sometimes don't quite understand my mother's thoughts. ”

Gu Meng said: "Actually, it's not the source, the source lies in the identity. ”

"Identity?"

Gu Meng smiled and nodded, "Everyone has an identity, and there are many, for example, you, you are your mother's son, and if you take a daughter-in-law in the future, you will be your wife's husband, and if you have a child, you will be your child's father, and if you practice swords in the mountains, you will be your master's apprentice, your apprentice's master......"

"The more identities, the heavier the burden on the body, the more things to bear, the less easy it is to come by one's own temperament, I have seen a senior before, the burden on his body is very heavy, but he still wants to pursue freedom, and then, he died. ”

Zhou Zhou sighed, his face full of surprise.

Gu Meng said: "It's not that you can't pursue freedom, but I think you still have to think about what you want to pay, there are some things you can't do, just wait first, such as going out to sea to fish, when you don't have me, you'd better wait, after all, there is only one life, if you lose it, won't your mother be sad?"

Zhou Zhou muttered, "If I die, I won't be sad." ”

Gu Meng said: "Your mother will be very sad. ”

Zhou Zhou didn't speak, he looked at Gu Meng silently, and he could vaguely see a bit of stubbornness in his eyes.

Gu Meng patted his head and said earnestly: "To be a man, you have to spare your life, you have to think, 'I'm afraid that the people who care about me are afraid that I'm dead'." ”

"This is the case now, and it will be the same when you go up to the mountain to become a cultivator in the future, remember one thing, your life must be saved first, so that you can have the things that follow, and if you don't have a small life, everything needs to be said. ”

Zhou Zhou nodded, he really understood.

Gu Meng was very pleased.

So Gu Meng stopped talking.

He looked at the fishermen, not knowing what to think.

Zhou Zhou suddenly asked, "Brother Gu, can I learn swords from you?"

Gu Meng turned his head to look at him and said bluntly: "There are many disciples on the mountain, and I teach the sword, but I really don't have any apprentices." ”

Zhou Zhou wondered, "Why?"

"Because I'm not on the mountain all day, so if you want to worship my teacher, you might as well worship my two senior sisters, no matter which one is better, anyway, it is much more useful than worshipping me as a teacher. ”

Zhou Zhou smiled and asked, "So I became their apprentice, didn't you still teach me to practice swords?"

Gu Luo nodded, this is a fact, he won't talk nonsense.

Zhou Zhou opened his mouth, and if he wanted to say something, the fishing boat over there was already shouting at them, Gu Meng stood up, pulled Zhou Zhou up with his hand, and walked towards the fishing boat, saying as he walked: "In fact, in the mountains, it doesn't matter who is an apprentice, it is more important to practice swords well than anything else." ”

Two people boarded the fishing boat, the dark-skinned fishermen, seeing the two of them, they all greeted each other with a smile, Zhou Zhou lived in this fishing village for a while, because of his lively and cheerful personality on weekdays, in fact, they also liked these fishermen, especially a young man named Ge Youyu, who had a very good relationship with him.

The dark-skinned boy, who is fifteen years old this year, has already begun to go out to sea with his father to fish a few years ago, although he is not very old, but he is really a good fisherman, not to mention the fish in the sea, he can know everything, and his fishing skills are not bad.

Seeing Zhou Zhou on the boat, the young man looked very enthusiastic, put down the things in his hand and came to pull Zhou Zhou, and excitedly told him about the things to pay attention to when going to sea, but he put Gu Meng aside.

Zhou Zhou listened patiently for a long time before asking, "Then did we say what kind of fish we wanted to catch when we went to sea today?"

The boy shook his head and glanced at the harpoon on the deck, "What kind of fish can be caught depends on the will of God, hehe, you can't ask for it." ”

Zhou Zhou sighed, he looked at the sea, and asked, "What if there is a wind and waves?" I have heard that if the waves are bigger, the chance of survival is very slim. ”

The young man patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, with me, how can there be a storm?"

Zhou Zhou snorted and nodded seriously.

Gu Meng stood on the deck, watching the fishing boat slowly go out to sea, listening to the two children, you and me, there was no talk, he just thought, in this life, it is really unnecessary, to do something amazing, just like this, it seems that there is nothing wrong with being an ordinary fisherman.

Fishing, when you are older, you can take a daughter-in-law and have a son, which is also very good.

Thinking of this, Gu Meng suddenly laughed, looking a little good-looking.

By the time Gu Ming's mind came back, the fishing boat had already left the beach far away, and the fishermen had already begun to cast their nets, which was not bad on this day, and there was no need to go to the deep sea to fish, so the fishing boat didn't think about how far it was going out, and it was just right to cast its nets at this moment.

Gu Meng looked at the sea, but Ge Youyu was looking at him.

He pulled Zhou Zhou's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Did you ask for me, would he accept me as an apprentice?"

Zhou Zhou shook his head and said, "I asked before, Brother Gu doesn't want to accept apprentices, but if you want to follow us up the mountain, go and tell Brother Gu that he is very good at talking." ”

It turned out that Zhou Zhou's previous side knock did not mean that he wanted to apprentice himself, but asked for his friend.

Ge Youyu was a little embarrassed, don't look at him being able to talk to Zhou Zhou at this time, but he is actually a very shy person, and it is difficult to open his mouth to say anything in front of outsiders.

Especially when he saw that Gu Meng was so good-looking, he looked like a fairy on the mountain, and he himself was born like black charcoal, and he was even more reluctant to say a few words.

In fact, it is difficult to look at the minds of young people in the way that normal people think.

Especially those who are withdrawn teenagers.

Zhou Zhou sighed and said, "If you really can't open your mouth, then I'll make it clear to Brother Gu when I go back later." ”

The young man snorted, a little melancholy, in fact, it was just his idea to go up the mountain to learn swords, and he didn't know what his father and mother thought?

His idea was born, in fact, it was an idea, and there were still a lot of things to deal with before the trip was completed.

But it's true that he wants to learn the sword.

Aboard.

Gu Meng was chatting with the old fishermen on the side, talking about the difference between the life of fishermen more than ten years ago and now.

The old fisherman who had experienced the vicissitudes of life shook his head and said: "Actually, there is no difference, when it comes to the country, although it is said that there is a few more money to pay every year, but it is practical, and the money is less at this time, but it is always like a rootless duckweed, I don't know when it will be blown away by the wind." ”

Gu Meng asked, "Is that the one who complains about being an official, especially the emperor master of the Jinluan Palace." ”

The old fisherman shook his head and said: "What are you complaining about, some of the descendants in the village have gone out, and then they came back and said, the one who beat us, that is, the current imperial court, is as big as many Southern Chu, and there are many more soldiers than our Southern Chu, how can we fight? ”

Gu Meng asked again, "Do you think so?"

The old fisherman rubbed his head, "What do you think if you don't think so?" Is it possible that you can really blame the emperor, I heard that when he was taken away, he was still a child, what can you blame for such a child?"

The old fisherman didn't know where to take out a cigarette gun, put it in his mouth and took two sips, and then said leisurely: "Although I really don't blame the emperor, but without the feeling of my homeland, it is like sending people under the fence, which is very embarrassing." ”

Gu Meng stopped talking.

Some words are useless, so don't say them.

The old fisherman spat out a smoke ring and babbled a lot, saying that if it weren't for a handful of old bones, then he would definitely go to the battlefield in the first place.

Gu Meng leaned on the deck, listening to these words, thinking that if it was those people who read books, they would definitely mention the emperor of Southern Chu, and there would be no good words, but these people living at the bottom would not have so many grievances.

No wonder many years ago, a great emperor once said, "Water can carry a boat and can also overturn a boat, and the water here is the people." ”

Putting the people most seriously may be the foundation for the continuation of a dynasty.

"What's going on?!"

Gu Meng was thinking about this when he suddenly heard a voice.

I saw that on the sea, there were black clouds pressing the sea in the distance, and the sea surface that was calm before was now full of waves, and the waves were so big that people felt terrible when they saw it.

It's a storm they've never encountered before.

The old fisherman looked at this scene and muttered, "I worshipped the god of the sea when I went out to sea, how could this be?"

They are all fishermen with many years of experience, and they know what the sea is like, and they have carefully seen it before going out to sea, and it is impossible for them to have such a big storm today.

But now, in front of them, the wind and waves are so big, like a scene of annihilation!
