Chapter 282: Gu An, the Master

Two years have passed since Li Ya and Zhang Buku met.

During the two years, the sea remained turbulent, and countless monks and monsters broke into the Broken Sea Rift. The fighting there was endless, and some people broke through due to fate, while others perished with regret.

The Taixuan Sect is peaceful, and most of the disciples are working hard on their cultivation.

Life in the Medicine Valley is even more peaceful.

On this day, Gu An came to Xuan Valley early to wait because someone was about to arrive.

Near noon, Li Ya, dressed in black, fell from the sky and landed in the attic. This time, he did not climb in through the window. He stood downstairs looking at Gu An's windowsill for a long time without saying a word or taking a step.

The Blood Hell Great Sage, who was lying on the ground, looked at him with a strange look in his eyes.

The Blood Hell Great Sage could feel that he was in a very low mood and looked dispirited.

"Brother Li, why are you here?"

Lu Jiujia walked over quickly and asked in surprise.

Li Ya came back to his senses, looked at him, and said with a forced smile: "I'm here to see your Senior Brother Gu."

"He's upstairs. Normally, he doesn't stay in Xuan Gu for long, but today he stayed for the whole morning. It turns out he was waiting for you." Lu Jiujia said with emotion.

He could naturally see that something was not right with Li Ya, so he said this.

Li Ya nodded at him and went upstairs.

He walked all the way to the second floor and pushed the door open.

Gu An, who was sitting on a chair, put down the Taixuan Secret Teachings in his hand, looked at Li Ya, and asked in surprise: "Senior Brother Li, why are you here?"

Looking at Gu An, Li Ya's eyes suddenly turned red. He closed the door and walked to the table. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

Gu An's smile disappeared, and he asked nervously, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Li Ya didn't dare to face Gu An's gaze, because Zhang Buku said that Gu An was his only elder.

"Zhang Buku..." Li Ya said with difficulty.

"What's wrong with him?"

Gu An stood up suddenly.

Li Ya took a deep breath and told him what happened to Zhang Buku.

After hearing this, Gu An slumped in his chair, looking distraught, which made Li Ya even more uncomfortable.

"Wait, you said he turned into a supernatural vengeful ghost, which means he is still there? Isn't it?" Gu An seemed to have thought of something and asked quickly.

Li Ya tilted his head and replied, "He is still there, but after becoming a mysterious ghost, he is no longer the same person. He will become a monster that devours living souls and will never be free..."

Gu An asked back, "Did you see him do that?"

Li Ya was stunned and couldn't help but look at him.

Gu An's face became calm, and he said, "Bu Ku has had a hard life since he was a child. He has half the blood of the demon clan, and the two clans do not tolerate each other, but he was able to survive all the way. Why can't he get out of danger this time?"

"But……"

"Brother, this matter has nothing to do with you. He is the one who wants to break through the Great Sea Rift. Don't put too much pressure on him. I really believe that he can turn the danger into safety."

"Junior Brother Gu, I..."

"Look at the look on your face. If Bu Ku saw you, he would definitely laugh at you. You two are brothers who will live and die together. Do you want to die with him? You have to believe in him. He will definitely be able to turn danger into safety. If you don't practice well, you might be thrown off by him. Since ancient times, great fortune will always come after great disasters. Don't underestimate him."

Gu An smiled, with anticipation showing on his face.

Li Ya understood that Gu An was comforting him, but he couldn't help but think, what if Zhang Buku could really escape danger?

Gu An asked him to sit down and asked him about his experiences over the years.

Li Ya began to talk about his life over the years. Gu An interrupted from time to time and asked questions. The more he did so, the more ashamed Li Ya felt.

Zhang Bu was suffering, but Junior Brother Gu's pain must be no less than his. After all, Junior Brother Gu still had to bear the friendship of Zhang Chunqiu.

But even so, Junior Brother Gu still had to comfort him.

A magical fairy appeared on Li Ya's shoulder at some point. It looked at Gu An and blinked quietly, but Li Ya did not notice this.

The two brothers chatted for a long time.

At dusk, Li Ya stood up. He looked at Gu An and said, "I came back to tell you about this. Thank you, Junior Brother Gu. I will not give up hope. I will work harder in my cultivation and rescue Zhang Buku sooner or later!"

His face was determined and his eyes were burning with fighting spirit.

Gu An naturally encouraged him.

Just like that, Li Ya left. He did not climb out the window, but walked downstairs on foot, and Gu An did not see him off.

Li Ya stopped in front of the Blood Prison Great Sage. He turned his head and looked at him and said, "Niutou, I swear, I will never let anyone I care about fall into danger again. I will also protect your master!"

After saying that, he leaped up and disappeared into the sky.

The Blood Hell Great Sage rolled his eyes and muttered, "You're mentally ill. You can't even figure out who is protecting whom. And why are you telling me that? I'm your father?"

…

About a month after Li Ya left, someone else came back.

The one who came back was Shen Xinzi, and he walked towards the Third Medicine Valley.

He stopped at the mouth of the valley, looking at the scene in the valley in a daze. Some people were sweeping the floor, some were watering and loosening the soil, some were playing chess, drawing, and some were chasing and playing.

Everything seems so harmonious.

For some reason, as soon as he returned here, Shen Xinzi felt inexplicably relieved, and the depression in his heart dissipated a lot.

He took a deep breath and stepped into the valley.

Soon, he saw You Yingying. You Yingying also saw him and subconsciously wanted to avoid him, but he sent a message to her, asking her to stop.

Shen Xinzi came in front of You Yingying with a serious look.

You Yingying asked nervously: "What do you want to do? I didn't hurt anyone!"

Shen Xinzi closed his eyes and said, "Amitabha, benefactor, I am here to apologize to you. I was indeed reckless and too paranoid and arbitrary before. Moreover, everyone in the world can blame you, except me. I am sorry, I will not bother you again in the future."

He put his palms together and bowed to apologize.

You Yingying was stunned and very confused.

Without waiting for her to ask, Shen Xinzi turned and left.

You Yingying looked at his back and muttered to herself: "What has he been through in these years? Why does he feel so hit?"

She had always been afraid of Shen Xinzi, but after hearing what he just said, she inexplicably felt sympathy for him instead of feeling fortunate for herself.

She shook her head, too lazy to think about it anymore.

No matter what, we have to stay away from this monk. What if he goes crazy again one day? Shen Xinzi came to the chess playing area, where dozens of people were still gathered. He saw the valley master Gu An also coming. The two looked at each other and nodded to each other, which was considered a greeting.

Then they stood behind the crowd and watched the game.

Shen Xinzi suddenly thought of something and looked at Gu An. He walked towards Gu An and came to Gu An's side and whispered, "Valley Master, can I borrow your land to talk with you?"

Gu An glanced at him and nodded.

"Let's go to my room and talk." Gu An said.

Shen Xinzi was willing to sacrifice himself to save Li Ya and the people of the entire city, which changed Gu An's opinion of him.

Although this monk is stubborn, he really dares to take action when faced with difficulties. He truly cares about the people in his heart, and he doesn't just say it.

The Nine-Fingered Divine Lord, who was playing chess, noticed their figures. He raised his lips, retracted his gaze, and continued playing chess, shouting, "You are really good at playing bad chess. Even the country kids outside Taixuan Gate can't play such bad chess. No, let that cow play, it's better than you!"

When the Blood Hell Sage heard this from afar, he was furious, but he endured it.

Because Gu An said that the Nine-Fingered God was an immortal, but he just hid his cultivation.

"Go ahead, just keep going. It's better not to practice anymore. When I release my cultivation in the future, I will take you as my mount and turn you into a toad!" The Blood Hell Sage thought to himself. It felt great to think like this and he was immediately happy.

On the other side, Gu An took Shen Xinzi upstairs.

Shen Xinzi took the initiative to close the door.

Gu An asked him to sit down and started to make tea.

While waiting, Shen Xinzi looked inside the house and found that there were many books in the house, even his favorite Journey to the West.

With Journey to the West, he has a better impression of Gu An.

Gu An placed the hot tea in front of him, then sat down and asked with a smile, "What do you want to talk to me about, fellow Taoist?"

Shen Xinzi took a deep breath and said, "Donor, this is what happened. I have a good friend who hates evil all his life and has devoted his life to exorcising demons and saving the suffering people. However, he suddenly discovered that he was also the reincarnation of a demon. What do you think he should do?"

Good job.

Classic I have a friend.

Gu An pondered and said, "Is the relationship between past and present lives really that big? Is there any sin that cannot be washed away by reincarnation? Why should he bother? Isn't it better for him to continue walking the path he believes in?"

"But he is indeed a monster..."

"So what? Are demons absolutely bad? Are humans absolutely good? Do you think we should stay away from this good friend? Daoist friend, if that's the case, then I have something to say to you. You monks claim to have seen through the world, but why are you so obsessed with appearances?"

Gu An began to criticize Shen Xinzi incessantly.

His love for teaching was activated!

Shen Xinzi was not angry and listened carefully.

Since Gu An was able to invent Go, he must have extraordinary comprehension. Moreover, he had talked with Gu An before and felt that this person's view on life was indeed open-minded, and his level of human nature was definitely higher than his.

Cultivation is not just about improving your skills!

Gu An talked for a long time in one breath, and when he finished, he felt refreshed.

Regardless of whether Shen Xinzi listened to him or not, he felt good about criticizing him.

Shen Xinzi seemed to be thinking about something, and said, "If you put down your butcher knife, can you really become a Buddha right away?"

Gu An said unhappily, "How is that possible? Isn't that just being a rogue? Sins need to be washed away by virtue. Besides, your good friend has never done anything evil in his life. He has even saved many people, hasn't he?"

Shen Xinzi nodded, and his frown finally relaxed.

He began to think.

Gu An didn't disturb him, but took out a book and started reading.

The house fell into silence.

After half an hour, Shen Xinzi stood up, bowed to Gu An, and said, "Amitabha, thank you for clearing up my doubts."

Gu An waved his hand and said, "What are you thanking me for? If you really want to thank me, then find some time to guide my disciples in the valley in their cultivation."

Shen Xinzi did not refuse, and felt in his heart that Gu An was truly an accomplished person who always thought of others.

He asked, "Donor, I see you have a lot of books in your house. Could you recommend me a book to read?"

When Gu An heard this, he began to look around.

Shen Xinzi said, "Why don't you lend me the book in your hand for my enlightenment?"

Gu An's face changed, and he immediately closed the Taixuan Secret Biography and said, "This won't work!"
