Chapter 177: Because I am willing to

"plan for the future"

Gu Dan's eyes narrowed slightly. This was something he had not expected.

The sudden falling of stars in the night sky is not a coincidence, but a signal that was discussed in advance!

No wonder Qingpingzi ran faster than anyone else after the stars fell from the sky at night.

"Then why are you wandering around Yuzhou instead of looking for the place where the meteorite finally fell?"

"The falling meteorites are not random, they all have a purpose. Since one of them fell in Yuzhou, it means that there is something worth noting in Yuzhou. If we can detect and deal with it before the immortals come back, it will be a great achievement after they return."

Qingpingzi said with a hint of helplessness.

This achievement was right in front of him. He had been searching for it for six years, but hadn't done anything yet when he met Gu Dan.

"Does the immortal care about these things?"

Gu Dan looked around at the murals on the mountain wall. The value of these murals might be even higher than he thought.

“Of course I care! Even for a large sect, the Soul Reflection is a privilege that only core disciples have the opportunity to enjoy. Not to mention that the things left here are not just Soul Reflections.”

Qing Pingzi pointed to the four characters "Don't Cultivate Immortality" under the carved eye on the mountain wall, "The cultivators are united with each other, not just with one Star Alliance. Some people think that they should find ways to block the path of cultivation and reduce the weight of the immortal path, and they will do anything to achieve this."

At this point, Qingpingzi added with lingering fear: "I suspect that the meteorite that hit Yuzhou was actually supposed to hit here, but the remaining power here forcibly moved the meteorite to the side. Otherwise, with the specifications of this place, how could ordinary people bear it? Only when the world is empty and the spiritual energy is blocked can mortals observe it!"

Gu was relieved.

Even when he broke through to the Grandmaster level, Xiaoying and Cang, who were watching from the sidelines, were almost injured, let alone this relic that was several levels beyond theirs? Watching has always been very risky, especially forcing yourself to watch something that is beyond your current level.

"I've written down everything you said."

Gu Dan nodded, "One last question. Since the immortal is not here, the martial arts master is the strongest person at this time, right? What would happen if someone brought great changes to the world?"

"Better not!"

Qing Pingzi shook his head repeatedly and said seriously: "There is a saying among mortals that when one is well fed and clothed, one will think of sexual desires. That is when one cannot pursue the path of immortality. If everyone is well fed and clothed, and can reproduce as much as they want, the number of people seeking immortality will inevitably increase greatly. If the number of people increases too much, the balance bar will no longer be stable, and the next reckoning will not be far away!"

After a pause, Qingpingzi knew that Moqiu was Gu Dan's good friend. With Gu Dan's current strength, if he really wanted to do something, there would probably be few people in this world who could stop him.

He immediately added: "The current situation in the mortal world is the best result after repeated explorations and shuffles.

The immortal path and the mortal world seem to be unrelated, but the roots of the immortal path are hidden in the mortal world. If the mortal world is too good, the immortal path will be very sad. If the mortal world is too bad, the immortal path will seem a little weak.

It is difficult to strike a balance, but the current situation in the mortal world is the best option found after repeated exploration and shuffling. If you rashly change these things, you will inevitably be investigated, and at that time, you will no longer have the final say. "

Gu Dan remained silent.

It turns out that it's not that the mortal world doesn't want to develop, but that the immortal way doesn't allow the mortal world to develop.

The masters themselves complain that there are too many obstacles on the path to immortality, so how can they find a few more mud legs to make things difficult for themselves? As long as the vast majority of people at the bottom are still immersed in the state of hunger without food, labor without rest, and cold without clothes, it will be convenient for immortal cultivators to be high above.

Even if there are a few gifted people who climb to the path of immortality, they are just a few cats and dogs.

Once they notice a big change in the mortal world, they will probably exert influence immediately. For example, if a group of meteorites fall, who can be blamed? Now, the kings and generals are really brave! "Of course, as long as you don't want to change the entire mortal world, but only change one country, there is no problem. Occasionally, a hero will be born and give a country decades or hundreds of years of stability. That is also a very normal thing! As long as the previous situation is maintained in general, it will be fine."

Qingpingzi did not dare to be negligent and immediately added to the discussion.

"I see."

Gu Dan's eyes turned slightly cold, and in an instant he thought of the history books he had read.

Those dynasties that were once extremely prosperous, constantly expanding, and then declined in an instant, how many of the natural disasters and man-made disasters that occurred were real, how many were false, and how many were the work of immortal cultivators in secret?

Just a flick of the hand and a country's demise is just a blink of an eye!

So no matter how hard you try in this world, it will be of no use.

His previous worries and cautions were not groundless.

Because ordinary people cannot decide their own destiny.

Therefore, Mo Qiu’s ideal is destined to be impossible to achieve.

The world of great harmony?

Immortals are not allowed!

For a moment, Gu Dan seemed to be petrified.

If Brother Mo heard this kind of news, how would he feel? The ideal he had been striving for for decades had been cut off at the root.

The source of the contradiction lies not in the mundane world but in the immortal way.

Wanting to benefit all living beings means becoming an enemy of the immortal way.

This is an antagonistic relationship where if you are better off, I will feel uncomfortable!

According to Qingpingzi, there is currently no solution to this situation.

“Damn it.”

Gu Dan murmured.

"That's easy to talk about! This is not a situation that can be changed by one or two people. If you also think that the current immortal path is too cruel and harsh, why not join the Star Alliance? Although the Star Alliance has its own rules, it can at least make life a little easier for the mortal world, right?"

Qingpingzi felt the endless murderous intent looming over him and almost thought that Gu Dan was going to attack him, so he hurriedly tried to comfort him.

"It's none of your business."

Glancing at Qingpingzi, Gu Dan waved his hand in a disinterested manner, "Even if the immortals don't allow the mortal world to live too well, you should stop committing evil. A tiger or a rhinoceros escapes from its cage, or a tortoise or jade is destroyed in its box, who is to blame? The keeper cannot shirk his responsibility! As a martial arts master, how can you not just live on, but add dirt to the heads of the people?"

"No, no! The monks are coming back soon. Who wants wealth and glory at this time? I will never do such a thing again!"

Qingpingzi patted his chest, made assurances one after another, with a hint of joy in his eyes.

He said so much, and he told me everything he knew, and finally made Gu Dan feel his sincerity.

This life is saved!

"Let's go."

When leaving the White Lotus inheritance site and walking into the cave, Gu Dan heard Wang Mang chattering with the two young men brought by Qingpingzi.

"So, you are planning to seek the immortals?" Wang Mang asked.

"Yes, Master said that if we find the things hidden here, we can go to the place where the meteorite fell to practice." The boy, who looked a little younger and had a baggy Taoist robe, answered.

Qingpingzi, who was following behind Gu Dan, had a dark face.

Damn it, it’s a good thing he didn’t dare to exaggerate or else all his underwear would have been sold here.

"Brother Gu!"

Wang Mang turned around when he heard the footsteps and took a look at the still-alive Qingpingzi. The smile on his face became more sincere. "These two are the disciples that Qingpingzi accepted in Yuzhou. This one is Zhuang Sheng, and this one is Zou Dan. While I had some time, I took the opportunity to examine their talents. They are all outstanding! If they were older, they would be amazing!"

Xun Ke on the side: ".?"

What do you mean by you examined their talents?

Wasn't it him who discussed issues with the two most of the time? Noticing Xun Ke's gaze, Wang Mang added: "Xun Ke's knowledge is of course the highest, and he cares about the people, is down-to-earth, and is extraordinary, and has made great contributions!"

After hearing what Wang Mang said, Xun Ke felt much better.

This senior brother’s words are quite reliable.

He nodded immediately to show his agreement.

Looking at the scene in front of him, how could Gu Dan not be clear?

Although Xun Ke was highly knowledgeable and cared about the people, he still had a long way to go in terms of actually doing things and recognizing people. In short, he was too young and was easily manipulated by Wang Mang.

This is purely a matter of personal character. It's not a bad thing to be more honest.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Meet Mr. Gu."

Zou Dan bowed in a familiar manner and said, "I heard that Mr. Gu had been sitting in meditation in the courtyard for twenty-one years, and recently he finally decided to come out and help the troubled times. Is this true?"

"yes."

Gu Dan paused for a moment and nodded slightly.

"According to what I learned from my master about the situation in Dayue, I'm afraid that all the national protectors are gone. In terms of national strength, it's even one country against four. Dayue has become a broken flower and withered willow, with almost no help at all. In this case, if Mr. Gu wants to come out to save the world, what good ideas do he have?" Zou Dan asked very seriously.

"What do you think is the solution?"

Gu Dan did not answer the question directly, but asked instead.

"Mr. Gu was able to make Master retreat, and Master is also a martial arts master, one of the most powerful people in the world. That means Mr. Gu's strength is probably even higher than that of the master, right?"

Zou Dan said without any hesitation.

Qingpingzi also looked over. Judging from the Xingluo magic weapon, he definitely could not defeat Gu Dan.

Could it be that Gu Dan has already broken through to the level of martial arts innate? This is too shocking. That is the mark left by the witch in ancient times. It is not that easy to break through! "So what if it is, and so what if it is not?" Gu Dan asked.

"If so, how many Grandmasters can we defeat? The Grandmasters of the four countries combined, I'm afraid there are no less than ten. Considering the reality, it is estimated that we will have to face at least five or six Grandmaster-level masters at the same time. Dayue has you, Mo Qiu, and Huang Chao who has cooperated with Mo Qiu, so there are only three. That is to continue fighting, choose a country to fight to death, and force the coalition forces to fall apart.

If your strength is enough to crush ordinary masters, you will not have to worry about group battles, which is much simpler. Get rid of some martial arts masters in one go, and then go to the imperial capitals of various countries to deter them. Not only can you stop the war, but you can also get a lot of benefits. "

Zou Dan didn't waste any time thinking and said immediately, "This is the fastest way to end the war. If this doesn't work, trying to threaten with the Grandmaster's Disaster is probably unlikely to work."

"That analysis makes sense. Is this what you just thought of?"

Gu Dan became more interested, so he and Qingpingzi were not away for too long.

However, Zou Dan was able to obtain valuable intelligence from Wang Mang while he was trying to gather information, and even worked out three possible situations in a short period of time!

This ability is really not bad.

"Yes."

Zou Dan nodded and said, "I wonder what you are going to do? If it is the first case, I am willing to accompany you to see. If it is the second case, I am willing to follow you to achieve something. If it is the third case."

He shook his head and said nothing more, but his meaning was very clear. It was obvious that he did not agree with Grandmaster Zhihuo's approach.

"oh?"

Gu Dan seemed to understand. Is this another version of "毛遂自荐"? However, compared with Mao Sui's self-recommendation, Zou Dan was quite arrogant and directly showed his intention.

"What talents do you have that make you so sure that I will let you follow me?" Gu Dan asked curiously.

"No, I am not following you, but following the new country that is about to be born."

Zou Dan said: "I am good at observing the stars and the celestial phenomena, the changes of yin and yang, and I can teach the people the time."

Good at observing the stars, celestial phenomena, and the changes of yin and yang.

Hearing this, Gu Dan turned to Qingpingzi with a strange look. He really was worthy of being Qingpingzi's disciple!

You can tell he’s an old alchemist the moment he opens his mouth!

The new capital hasn't even started to be built yet, and the Taoist priests are coming to surrender so early? "It has nothing to do with me."

Qing Pingzi waved his hands repeatedly, "I just accepted a disciple. What the disciple wants to do is his own ideal. I will not interfere. Those who are willing to follow me will follow me, and those who are not willing have their own aspirations. I will never force them, and it is definitely not my instruction."

These words were spoken sincerely, without any hesitation.

My dear teacher, I understand that this is the case.

"If you have talent, how can we not let you display it?"

Gu Dan shook his head again and said, "However, I am not the person you should look for. I don't know how to manage and run a country, and I have no interest in this aspect."

"Aren't you planning to go up to the Dragon Pavilion?" Zou Dan asked curiously.

'Not ready'

Gu had already made a plan in mind. If Mo Qiu had no interest in this, then he would let someone with ability and capability do it. As long as the general direction was correct, it would be fine.

As for him, after pacifying the chaotic world, he would continue to practice medicine and save people, waiting for the immortal to come back before making other plans.

"Then are you still willing to save the people?"

Zou Dan asked, "Why?"

Gu Dan thought about it, and without saying anything like "benefiting the people", he just said calmly: "Because I am happy to do so."

Thousands of hardships, tens of thousands of choices, are all what I am willing to do.

If you can’t bear the suffering in this world, then go out into the world and travel.

It's that simple.

"Okay, we can talk on the way. Let's go, first pacify Yuzhou, then go meet up with Brother Mo, and we'll talk about the rest later.

This chaos has lasted long enough, it’s time to end it.”
