Chapter 121: Gu Dan's Loneliness

The emerald green light is full of vitality and vigor.

When the green light touched Qin Lisheng, it penetrated into his body at an extremely fast speed without any discomfort at all.

The new flesh and blood that had been forcibly worn away and then slowly reshaped with the help of true energy actually recovered and grew at an extremely fast speed under the nourishment of the green light!

His energy was exhausted and he was weak. His tired body was as dry as a desert, and the green light was the sweet rain from the sky.

Qin Lisheng widened his eyes in extreme surprise and looked at Gu Dan with disbelief. Countless puzzles surged in his heart and his eyeballs were almost popping out.

What is this?!

True Qi? No, that's not right. Although true Qi varies from person to person and manifests slightly differently, I have never heard of anyone whose true Qi is so strange that it can even help people shape flesh and blood with Qi and blood obstructions!

Apart from the legendary immortal method, he couldn't think of a second explanation. A martial arts master shouldn't have such power! Think about the three conditions that Gu Danchu put forward to the new emperor. Immortal methods are precious, but spirit stones are even more precious! Although I don't know how much Gu Dan consumed, I think he should understand that such power is definitely not without cost.

Spiritual stones are consumables. If you use them a little, you will have less. Being able to use them on him is something I never expected! When the green light disappeared, Qin Lisheng was very moved and said, "Mr. Gu, no wonder Master Mo has such a close relationship with you. I knew you were a good person!"

"It's a little late to start flattering now."

Taking his hand back, Gu Dan glanced at him and said indifferently.

"Haha, what are you talking about?"

Qin Lisheng came forward, rubbing his hands excitedly, and returned to his carefree look. He asked with a shameless face: "I wonder how many times you can use this magic, and how much it costs?"

Judging from his appearance, it was crystal clear what this guy was planning.

Sometimes he looks righteous and awe-inspiring, but most of the time he looks like he deserves a beating.

I can only say that it is indeed consistent with his performance so far.

Gu Dan's face darkened slightly and he pushed away Qin Lisheng's head which was about to come closer.

He knew it would be like this! It is easy to change a country, but it is hard to change one's nature. After being with Mo Qiu for ten years, Qin Lisheng still couldn't get rid of his gangster spirit. How could he change it in less than a year with him? I'm afraid he won't be able to change it in this lifetime.

"I'm warning you! Don't think too much, and don't think that this trick will always work. Do you really want me to be a nanny?" Gu Dan warned with a slightly dark face.

"Daddy?"

Qin Lisheng was stunned and didn't understand what he meant.

On the contrary, Cang, who had finally escaped from Xun Ke's clutches, excitedly stepped on his short legs, threw himself on Gu Dan's feet, and shouted in a baby voice: "Milk, drink milk!"

The little guy can't speak clearly most of the time now. He only seems to be very attentive when talking about food, and his pronunciation is clear and loud, like a gentleman. I don't know where he inherited this talent from.

Gu Dan picked up Cang, pinched his chubby little face, tapped his forehead with a finger, and scolded him, "Drink, drink, drink eight times a day. Look how fat you have become. And you're still eating, and still eating!"

Cang stared at him with big eyes, totally unmoved, and continued to shout: "Drink milk! Drink!"

"Eat, eat, eat. All you know is eating. You foodie!"

It was impossible to reason with the little kid, so Gu Dan decisively handed Cang over to Xun Ke again and asked Xun Ke to take him to the wet nurse to ask for milk.

This was just a small episode, and Qin Lisheng's eyes were still on him with expectation.

What it means is of course very clear.

Gu Dan waved his hand impatiently and said, "Once every seven days, take care of yourself!"

There was a dazzling light in Qin Lisheng's eyes. He never expected that Gu Dan had such ability.

If it is true as Gu Dan said, the time he needs to overcome the blood and qi barrier will be greatly shortened! Not every time you polish your flesh and blood and reshape it, you can do it without interruption. Your body will also get tired and need to be repaired. This is where you spend the most time.

Pain can be endured, but the new flesh and blood needs to adapt, and the body also has a recovery period. If you can't hold on any longer, you can only wait, so it takes more than ten years of hard work.

The green light could help him get rid of the discomfort in his body, thus saving most of the time he should have spent on recuperation! It was no exaggeration to say that this was like a gift of rebirth.

"Mr. Gu, if you need me any help in the future, just say one word!" Qin Lisheng said very seriously.

Qin Lisheng's face was as bright as a chrysanthemum. If it weren't for the fact that his internal Qi was completely depleted, he would have wanted to start the next Qi and blood barrier test right now! "Get out of the way."

Gu Dan pushed him away impatiently and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

As his strength grows, his mentality is also constantly changing.

Part of it was because he already had the ability to stir up the situation, and on the other hand, it was because he had seen with his own eyes one person after another trying their best in this turbid world.

It's not a real clay puppet, how can you ignore it?

No wonder people say that immortals are immortals. Immortals, one person and one mountain, are far away from the mundane world, undisturbed by the mundane world. Only then can they pursue the supreme path, right?

But now in this mortal world, there are still things that he cannot give up, and there are people who care about him and he also cares about.

There was a knock on the courtyard door.

A messenger shouted outside the door: "Master Gu, there is a letter for you!"

"oh?"

Gu Dan stepped forward and took it, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

There are very few people who can send letters to him. Except for a letter that Mo Qiu asked someone to pass on after he killed the emperor and left some time ago, he has hardly received any letters since then.

He took the letter from the messenger and opened it.

It's Mo Qiu's handwriting.

Not too much gossip, that's not Mo Qiu's style.

After a brief greeting in the letter, Mo Qiu recounted in plain words how he had beheaded Liu Xuanqi, the commander of Daqing, which only took up a very short space.

Next, he was told that the Mohist philosophy had finally been completely perfected and that he had found the true direction of Mohism.

Love all and do not attack.

Most of the letter is about these four words. Obviously, these condensed four words make Mo Qiu much more proud than "killing the commander Daqing in the battle."

At the end of the letter, he was asked to look after Xun Ke and Cang, and especially to keep an eye on Qin Lisheng and not let him out.

Now that I have found the career I am prepared to fight for my whole life, I am afraid we will not be together again in the short term.

He himself was preparing to take the Mohist people to defend the city.

It’s not for the Dayue royal family, but for the thousands of people living in the city.

Mohism does not need to be a sword in anyone's hand; the great man will hold this bloody sword.

I read the letter silently once, and then again.

A helpless smile appeared on Gu Dan's lips.

The letter downplayed the incident, as if it was not worth mentioning, but if you just think about it a little, you will understand how thrilling it is.

The Mohist School only has 3,000 people so far. How could Liu Xuanqi, the commander of Daqing, be so easy to kill? He was risking his life! Obviously, the news of the Daqing soldiers' massacre in the city completely angered Mo Qiu.

So much so that Mo Qiu would choose the most violent means, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

He wanted to be the sword hanging over Otsuki's head, and use it to tell the Four-Nation Alliance.

He certainly could not stop the armies of every country, and the Mohists could not quell the war.

But whoever dares to wantonly massacre the city, he will dare to take the Mohists to kill him! Wars are bound to have casualties, which is normal, but for those innocent people who have never raised their butcher knives, those who slaughter for the sake of slaughtering will have someone to help them collect the debt!

"A letter from a great man?"

Qin Lisheng came closer again. From a distance, he could tell who wrote the handwriting with just a glance. He naturally came closer and couldn't stop looking at the letter.

In fact, he had been very worried after Mo Qiu killed the emperor, otherwise he would not have forced himself so madly.

It's not that he doesn't trust Master Mo, but he's worried that once Master Mo makes a choice, what will he do if he can't keep up? He must take advantage of the time now to quickly improve his own strength. Not only the giants are working hard in Dayue, but also the Mozhe!

"Look if you want."

Gu Dan stuffed the letter into his hands.

He quickly scanned it and read it word by word. When he saw "universal love and non-aggression", Qin Lisheng's expression seemed extremely excited.

The theory of universal love, regardless of closeness or distance, is that all people are like brothers and sisters. This is a goal that we need to pursue throughout our lives.

Non-aggression does not mean not attacking, but rather not engaging in unjust and improper struggles.

Universal love is the concept and non-aggression is the principle.

Love all and do not attack, and the world will be united! The concept can be infinitely noble, but the principle is the rule that Mohists must abide by.

"As expected of a giant!"

Qin Lisheng agreed with Moqiu's ideas very much. He seemed extremely excited and thrilled, and kept walking back and forth in the yard.

From then on, the Mohists had a standard for judging their actions.

If it is in line with non-aggression, then you can do it; if it is not in line with non-aggression, then you must find ways to stop it.

A group of Mohists who were previously led entirely by Mo Qiu’s personal charm now have a new direction.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Even if you are not by Moqiu's side, you can still find your own things to do by following the advice of non-aggression, without having to worry about anything.

In this chaotic world, the Mohist school finally made its deafening voice heard!

Qin Lisheng has no doubt that the words of non-aggression will spread across this land, inspiring countless budding rangers, and eventually become a new benchmark, or even a new moral standard?

This is a cause that requires constant struggle, and it is clearer and more definite than universal love.

But when Qin Lisheng saw the end and found that Mo Qiu did not forget to remind Mr. Gu to keep an eye on him, his face couldn't help but look a little unhappy.

Does this mean that he trusts his ability, or does he not trust him? "Have you finished reading it? If you have, bring it here. I have to show it to Xun Ke." Gu Dan took the letter from Qin Lisheng and was about to leave.

"Mr. Gu, what is your wish?"

Qin Lisheng suddenly asked.

"Um?"

This sudden question made Gu Dan pause slightly.

"The great man's wish is for the world to be united. You are also a martial arts master. I wonder what your wish is?" After reading Mo Qiu's letter, Qin Lisheng continued to ask.

He was really curious.

As a martial arts master, Mr. Gu is unusually stable.

If he had not been besieged by the imperial guards before, he would not even know that Gu Dan had such skills.

A martial arts master had been hiding in a small courtyard and raising a child under an assumed name?

Is this reasonable?! It would have been fine before he didn't know Gu Dan's strength, but after he knew it, this doubt had been buried in Qin Lisheng's heart for a long time, and it was not until this moment that he finally asked it out.

What he didn't know was that Xun Ke had once asked Gu Dan the same question.

Gu Dan’s answer at the time was that he wanted to live a stable life.

This is indeed the most realistic idea.

In order to live a stable life, Gu Dan never took the initiative to cause trouble. Even though his martial arts had reached the top of the world, he had never even left the imperial city.

Huang Chao, also a martial arts master, has been slaughtering wealthy families in Yangzhou at will, raising the banner of rebellion, and even spreading the word that Mo Qiu should come to him and is willing to make Mo Qiu the national teacher. There is no need to say more about his ambition.

Also a martial arts master, the leader of the White Lotus Sect also led his followers to start a rebellion in Yuzhou. Although his speed was not as fast as that of the Huang Dynasty, he had a stronger foundation and more people in Yuzhou, so his momentum was also huge.

As he is also a martial arts master, there is no need to explain Moqiu in detail. Those who understand will understand.

As a martial arts master, even Master Ji in the imperial palace had done several great things when he was young. Now in his old age he is wholeheartedly seeking to reach a realm above the master level, also to make his life worthwhile.

Everyone is shining with light and warmth in their own way, radiating light in troubled times.

Only he seemed to be completely isolated in this small courtyard, creating a world of his own.

This is certainly not just because his soul does not belong to this world.

The most important thing is that he possesses the ability of immortality, which countless immortals desire.

If he did not have this ability, perhaps he would have surrendered to Qingpingzi without hesitation the first time he saw the alchemist. If he could not defeat him, he would have joined him and enjoyed the wealth, glory, and pleasures that the alchemist had obtained.

If he did not have this ability, when he met Moqiu, they would probably work together to fight for justice, avenge their enemies, and carve out a bright future for themselves in this turbid world.

If he did not have this ability, he might have chosen to inherit the family business and become a wandering doctor, drifting around the world, saving anyone he saw fit and becoming a famous miracle doctor.

But he does.

Immortality and eternal youth are, of course, the best things.

But at the same time, this ability has also become a constraint.

Immortality does not mean immortality.

We are born with a limited time, so we need to give out all our light and heat within the limited time, so that we will have no regrets even when we die.

This is what is called leaving a name in history.

But what if humans themselves could become living history?

It's only been fifteen years! It's true that the chaos in Dayue is extremely critical, but it will eventually end.

When the next country rises, a new dynasty is established, and even experiences destruction and rebirth again, will those people whose names were mentioned before still be there? But he is still there.

It is precisely because he understands this truth that Gu Dan does not want to get involved in such matters.

He can save him temporarily, but does he have to save him for life?

Do I have to be a personal nanny and come out to save the world every time there is trouble?

There are immortal classics in this world. If he does something that immortals have not done, how can he write the word death? If there is no trace of immortals in this world, he probably wouldn't mind accompanying Mo Qiu to do a feat of rebuilding the country.

But it was precisely because I had seen the immortal classics with my own eyes that I understood even more clearly how unfathomable this world was. Not making any noise was the wisest choice.

Who can be sure that there is no immortal in the sky, just looking at this place? But seeing everything in front of him with his own eyes, Gu Dan is not indifferent after all.

Reason kept telling him to leave, stay far away, to pursue immortality, or anything else, but don't do such stupid things that would be of no use in a few decades or hundreds of years.

Emotionally, seeing my friends fighting and struggling for their dreams without regard for their own safety, how could I say that I wasn't touched at all?

Being caught in the middle, it was difficult for Gu Dan to clearly explain how he felt.

This entanglement inevitably turned into a sense of alienation, which always shrouded him and made it difficult for people to see clearly.

His quietness and silence are not because he has no friends and family.

But the lonely heart does not know how to dispel it.

Even he himself can't explain it clearly.

After a long silence, Gu Dan finally said, "My wish is to find out what the world is really like and whether a martial arts master can really rule the world without any hindrance."

In the end, he gave a somewhat irrelevant answer.

He really couldn't explain his worries to anyone, and it was difficult for others to understand.

This bitter fruit of longevity must ultimately be borne by oneself alone.

It is difficult to have both longevity and health.
