Chapter 341 Gu Dan realized,

"Are you immortals?"

Hearing this question, Gu Dan and Zhuang Sheng looked at each other and saw smiles in each other's eyes.

"So what if it is. So what if it isn't?"

Gu Dan asked back.

"I heard that immortals can swallow clouds and spit out mist, eat clouds and drink dew, fly into the sky and hide underground, and live forever. Is this true?"

The little girl's eyes widened with curiosity, "My family said that there is a place called Buzhou Mountain Range thousands of miles away from Longmen Mountain. There are many immortals there. What kind of life do the immortals live?

Do they also have to practice martial arts every day? Do they no longer need to eat? How do they live so freely and at ease? "

It seemed like the little guy had been holding it in for a long time. Once he started talking, he couldn't stop. He poured out a series of questions with unconcealable curiosity in his eyes.

This age is indeed the age with the most curiosity and the most questions.

But the real answers to her questions may not be pleasant to hear.

Gu Dan had no idea what a real immortal was like.

But he knew the group of 'immortals' in Buzhou Mountain very well.

The lowest level of immortal seedlings, such as Ning Yuan, worked like a slave for the immortal temple in exchange for the opportunity to absorb spiritual energy. How could they have ever seen the slightest bit of glory? To put it nicely, they were called cultivators. To put it bluntly, they were not much different from the servants of the landlords.

This kind of immortal is probably not as free as the wealthy families in the mortal world.

But they had no other choice. How many of the selected immortal seedlings had good family backgrounds? When they returned to the mortal world, they would face the earth and back to the sky. It was common for them to starve to death when they encountered disasters.

At least one can practice immortal arts in the Buzhou Mountains, and will not starve to death. Even if one knows that one will be bullied, one can only endure it and work hard until the contract ends. Only after one has achieved some strength will one have the hope of becoming a superior person.

However, cultivators with higher status, such as Lu Yu, who was absorbed by Ning Fang and has his own abilities, are still trapped in the barriers of the realm. They try their best to do this, and although they have achieved strength, they do not seem to be free and at ease.

Going further up, the real high-level leaders of the Immortal Houses, such as Huang Chao, are still planning the integration of the Immortal Houses - even now, the Immortal Houses everywhere are preparing for battle, so where can we see any trace of the immortal demeanor in the story books?

If we really tell the truth, the little girl's dream will probably be shattered in an instant.

"If you are talking about a truly enlightened immortal, I have never actually seen one, so I cannot give you an answer."

Gu Dan did not directly deny everything about the immortal way. He could only say that what he encountered at this time made him unhappy, but he did not deny it completely because of this. "If you are talking about the group of cultivators in the Buzhou Mountains, I am afraid it is better to live happily in the mortal world."

"Yeah?"

The little girl frowned, obviously not believing it. She raised her eyebrows and asked immediately, "If that's the case, why don't the immortals come down the mountain? If the immortal way is not good, why do they still stay there? Is it because the immortals can't come down?"

Gu Dan: “.”

He opened his mouth several times, but found that he had nothing to say.

Yes, he couldn't stand the "immortal way" of the Buzhou Mountains, but compared with the real lowest level of the secular world, were the Buzhou Mountains really that unbearable?

Everyone is the same.

However, in the Buzhou Mountains, one can improve one's strength faster and have more abundant capital.

His likes and dislikes do not affect the facts.

He is not the center of everything, so how could others change because of his likes and dislikes?

People will always encounter many things that they don't like. If they are unable to change them and are unwilling to go with the flow, then naturally they can only go on their own.

In actual practice, only he and Zhuang Sheng left Buzhou Mountain. Can the minority represent the majority? In his opinion, Ning Yuan was very miserable, but when Ning Yuan broke through to the third level of Qi training, he was full of joy! With the passage of time and the increasing "loneliness", has he unconsciously changed his mind and even become a little "high and mighty", unaware of the sufferings of the world?

Gu Dan thought about this problem seriously.

After a moment, he shook his head.

No, he was never high and mighty.

All his thoughts and cognitions are because he stands higher and higher, his strength becomes stronger and stronger, and his thoughts naturally have higher breadth and depth.

His judgment was not wrong, but many people, even if they know what is right, can only go in the wrong direction.

Since he feels sorry for this, how can he be considered superior? If mistakes are the norm, would people who point out the correctness also appear to be out of touch with the masses?

At this time, Gu Dan suddenly thought of Mo Qiu and the Mohist school.

Under the situation that Dayue was in back then, wasn't Moqiu also that kind of person?

He was unrealistic, detached from the masses, and he insisted on establishing universal love and non-aggression as the core concept of Mohism.

He is the most correct, and therefore the most wrong.

This indirectly led to Qin Lisheng and most of the Mohists leaving the Xia Dynasty.

The road is there, and the road leading to the end is not necessarily easier to walk on.

As his heart was touched, Gu Dan's aura seemed to have changed in some way. His blood circulation became more integrated and smooth. Even if he had deliberately suppressed it before, it was just to block the blood and qi and not show it to the outside world. It was like a forest burning with a big fire. As long as there was enough fog outside to isolate it, others would naturally not see it.

At this moment, his mind was enlightened, and his energy and blood seemed to have merged with the surroundings. There was no need to hide or cover it up, and it would not be sensed by the outside world. He himself seemed to have become a part of the world. Whatever he approached, that thing would approach him.

This is enlightenment!

Taoism says: Nature and man are one.

Gu Dan did not reach that level directly, because he was still unable to control the overall situation and was not someone who could manipulate the general situation, but he had already understood some of the true meaning of it.

The difference between the individual and the whole, between goals and reality.

No longer bound by the situation, but thoroughly understanding the relationship between them.

All his experiences, encounters, people he meets, and things he encounters will eventually become the nutrients that nourish his growth and bear fruit one day.

"Little girl, why don't the big carps fly directly over Longmen Pass? Don't they want to?"

When Gu Dan suddenly realized something, Zhuang Sheng naturally took over the topic.

"The big carp is a fish! Fish can't live without water. Besides, they can't fly, so how can they fly over Longmen Pass?"

The little guy glared at Zhuang Sheng. Was he really a fool? "Yes, the big carp is a fish, so it can't live without water. But there are countless rivers, why do you have to be obsessed with the long river, why do you have to fly across the Longmen Pass?"

Zhuangzi said: "Man lives between heaven and earth, just like a mayfly. Some mayflies see a mountain and think that the mountain is everything; some mayflies see water and think that water is what they want all their lives.

In life, different people see the same thing differently.

Will I be like those mayflies that live and die in a day, devoting my whole life to this?"

Zhuang Sheng did not answer her question directly, but asked a question in return.

"you"

The little girl was so angry that she gritted her teeth. What the hell is going on?

They were clearly talking about the immortals, why did they suddenly go so far off the topic? They were clearly making a fuss!

Just as he was about to scold this strange man in front of him for not speaking human language, suddenly a familiar, furious voice sounded not far away.

"Lian'er!!!"

With a loud shout, a figure rushed over at an extremely fast speed and grabbed the little girl without saying a word. It was her father.

This little guy took advantage of the thunderstorm to come here and get close to those two weirdos! I'm not afraid that they don't have the ability, I'm afraid that they really have the ability!

"I'm really sorry, both of you. My daughter is young and lively, and often does things that are beyond your expectations. Although my family has disciplined her, we can't restrain her nature. If I have offended you, please forgive me!"

The middle-aged man said very politely.

If he could see Lian'er's strength at a glance and gave her a reminder, it might be a coincidence.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The thunderstorm lasted for such a long time, but these two people were the only ones who did not go down the mountain, which undoubtedly showed that they were very skilled and brave.

If the little guy doesn't understand and accidentally angers the two of them, he will be in big trouble. He must not offend them.

"Ha, nothing, nothing. I should thank her."

Gu Dan woke up from his enlightenment and was in a very good mood. How could he blame anyone?

After thinking for a while, he saw the jade pendant on the middle-aged man's waist and asked, "Can you give me the jade pendant?"

"Um?"

The middle-aged man was startled, and immediately took off the jade pendant from his waist, and said with great insight: "This is my apology to you two."

"No, no."

Gu Dan shook his head. After taking the jade pendant, a green light flashed from his fingertips. He then returned it to the middle-aged man and said, "She can carry this jade pendant with her for a few years. It can relieve the disease of qi and blood, and she won't be in serious trouble."

The jade pendant fell into the hand again, and unexpectedly made people feel extraordinarily comfortable, as if the body was vaguely nourished.

The middle-aged man was terrified, knowing that he had met a real master. Not only did he not blame her, but he also gave her a gift! This disobedient little girl had won the other party's favor.

He took the jade pendant with great trepidation, patted the little girl on the head, and said quickly: "Why don't you thank this senior quickly!"

"What? He just returned Daddy's jade pendant!"

The little guy didn't know what was going on, and he pouted with a look of unwillingness.

It was not until the jade pendant was tied around the neck that the little guy realized it and exclaimed in surprise, "My body seems to be much more comfortable?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man was overjoyed, "Why don't you kowtow quickly!"

"Don't."

Gu Dan waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "It's just a small favor, not worthy of such a great gift. The wonders of Longmen are coming soon, so let's focus on the important business."

He stuffed a drop of green wood liquid into the jade pendant, which would slowly digest and merge into the girl's body. It would probably take several years, but it could help her solve the problem of her own qi and blood entering her body too quickly. It could be considered a small gift.

"Yes, yes."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man's eyes showed both regret and relief.

What is an expert?

This is called a master.

He showed kindness without expecting thanks, and easily solved the puzzle! Even though his daughter was a martial arts prodigy that was hard to come by in hundreds of years, he was not overly surprised. The real business was the leap over the dragon gate that happened once every fifteen years.

This time, the middle-aged man did not take his daughter to another place. Instead, he stood respectfully behind the two of them, looking towards the foot of Longmen Mountain.

The weather is clear and sunny today. It won’t be long before the group of big carp that have rested all night will attack Longmen Pass again.

The sun is at noon.

Longmen Mountain became a little lively again. Compared to yesterday when there were only a few people coming under the heavy rain, there were many more people coming today. Some people even quarreled over a spot.

But no one disturbed Gu Dan, probably because the middle-aged man was wearing extremely luxurious clothes, and the sword hanging on his waist made him look noble, and even had a bit of murderous aura.

There were many people who knew how to 'act according to circumstances', but no one dared to come over and ask them to give up a good position, thus saving some insignificant trouble.

Finally, at a certain moment, the big carps at the foot of the mountain seemed to have recovered and began to attack Longmen Pass again.

"Huh?"

With a quick glance, Gu Dan discovered that the big carp were a little different from yesterday. Although the change was quite slight, his eyesight was amazing and he naturally would not ignore these slight differences.

Before yesterday, most of the big carps were muddy yellow in color, and the only one that showed a slight golden glow was a golden line on its back.

But today, the muddy yellow color on the bodies of many big carps seems to have faded a lot. They are no longer dull, but slightly glow with a hint of light, making them look more noble and gorgeous.

It was as if he had really survived a natural disaster in a thunderstorm and gained some benefits! Suddenly, Gu Dan recalled what Zhuang Sheng had said.

'The big carp travel all over the world throughout their lives. Even when they are resting, their bodies continue to move, which makes them strong and flexible.

It swallows mud and sand and eats metal. It is difficult to be hurt by knives or axes, and its scales are as hard as iron.

There is a sac in the stomach, which contains the breath of five metals, and is good for forging weapons. It is an excellent material for forging weapons in the mortal world, and for them, it is also a precious medicine for healing in critical moments.'

I'm afraid that the breath of the five metals is more than just a healing medicine.

It can also dissolve in the body and strengthen itself.

Sure enough, the big carp that leaped towards Longmen Mountain Pass again today looked a little thinner than yesterday, but its body was stronger.

The fastest carp even used the mountain wall to leap more than fifty feet against the waterfall and successfully crossed half of it.

At one point, Gu Dan even thought it had a good chance of becoming the first big carp to cross the Dragon Gate, but in the end, it was defeated.

Falling from such a high place, even if it fell on the water, it should be dead, but the golden scales actually carried everything. This creature in the mortal world is really shocking! Not only is it a wonder, but they themselves have a power that ordinary people can hardly imagine. I am afraid that they are almost close to the level of "demon beasts" mentioned in the immortal way.

After taking a break and resting, Zhuang Sheng said confidently, "Tomorrow, the big carp will be able to cross the Dragon Gate."
