Chapter 159
"Actually, Eldest Sister wanted us to leave this place earlier, maybe now is the time."

"But if we leave, Grandma Gu..."

"It's okay, Qingmu will ask Senior Sister Guan to take care of Jiacun."

Since Li Qingmu said so, Gu Youqing has no reason to refuse.

I have been in Baixia Town for a while, and I have seen everything I should show the saint. The only thing I am worried about is the ancestral hall of Gujia Village and Grandma Gu who has guarded the ancestral hall for a lifetime.

But Gu Youqing also knew that he could not do much by himself in today's Baixia Town where fish and dragons were mixed together, and he still had to rely on Li Qingmu's strength in the end.

Gu Youqing naturally understood that Li Qingmu was worried about his own safety, so he proposed to leave.

"In that case, let's set off after Zhu'er recovers for a few days."

"Well, before leaving, Qingmu wants to go to the Gu family ancestral hall and offer a stick of incense to his uncle and aunt."

Last time, because Daoyou Gu was in a bad mood, I didn't have the opportunity to offer incense at all, which is a pity.

Now that the two of them had developed a close relationship, it was natural to meet his parents in another capacity.

Even if it's just in the way of offering incense.

It can be regarded as showing them themselves.

"Then they must be very happy to see the saint, thinking that Gu has made a fortune."

Li Qingmu scolded him shamelessly, already thinking about where to go next.

Now that he has seen Gu Daoyou's hometown, should he also see his own?

Unlike Gu Youqing's Gujia Village, Li Qingmu's hometown is completely deserted, and now there is no one inhabited at all, leaving only a huge grassland.

The two agreed on a time and were about to meet Zhu'er.

Zhang Qianyan just happened to walk downstairs.

Gu Youqing gave way very gentlemanly, and greeted kindly: "Master Zhang."

But Zhang Qianyan, who usually bowed to him and Li Qingmu, just passed by today and glanced at Gu Youqing, without saying a word, not even saying hello.

The slightly cold eyes made Gu Youqing startled slightly.

Why?Have you done anything recently that Zhenren Zhang hates?

Li Qingmu was delighted in his heart, it seemed that the real Zhang had some friction with Gu Daoyou.

That's good, to save myself from always worrying about it, after all, the photo of the real person with his hair down is very beautiful.

Gu Youqing was not the only one who was confused, even Zhang Qianyan himself was puzzled.

Why is there always a faint resentment in my heart when I see Mr. Gu today?

It can't be called hostility, in short, they no longer have the same sense of intimacy as before. Instead, they feel that they are just passers-by who just met each other and only know each other's name.

Something was wrong, and she realized deeply that she hadn't been like this before.

Zhang Qianyan stroked his forehead lightly, his crescent eyebrows slightly frowned.

"Could it be that those annoying things have begun to affect my mood recently?"

Zhang Qianyan sighed and felt a little regretful for her rude behavior. She treated others like this, and I am afraid that the other party would not like her in their hearts.

"Find a chance to explain it to Mr. Gu..."

She shook her head, her gaze became determined, and she flew towards Li Jing's house again.

Today, no matter what, she must ask the truth!

Zhang Qianyan's skimming speed was extremely fast, and he arrived at Li Jing's house again in half an hour. The two guards at the guru level were not surprised by her uninvited arrival. Don't let her in.

Loyal guards like them, who have been favored by the royal family since childhood, naturally fulfilled His Highness's orders.

So the two masters ignored Zhang Qianyan very tacitly, and played chess outside the courtyard on their own.

Zhang Qianyan stopped and said hello to the two seniors.

But they ignored Zhang Qianyan at all.

Zhang Qianyan sat quietly at the side, watching the two old men play chess.

Although the realm of the two guards is much higher than that of Zhang Qianyan, she is still a true disciple of the current Dali National Master, and her status is very different.

Being stared at so earnestly by her, the two old people naturally felt unhappy.

The mentality is obvious on the chessboard. The evenly matched situation quickly turned into a mess as both sides frequently made stupid moves.

Even Zhang Qianyan, who didn't know much about chess, could see that these two seniors were playing chess carelessly.

She didn't make a sound, it's polite to watch chess without saying a word, not to mention that the opponent is still a senior who is older than her.

The two guards were helpless, and finally sighed:
"I'm confused, I really can't play this game."

Hearing this, Zhang Qianyan thought that his presence made the two seniors uncomfortable, so he said:

"Did this junior disturb the two seniors? Please forgive me, the junior will leave now."

The two master guards glanced at each other, and finally left Zhang Qianyan behind:
"Master Zhang, don't make things difficult for us."

"The younger generation has no such intentions."

"In this case, why is Master Zhang watching chess here?"

"The junior thought to himself, maybe the two seniors had a good time playing chess, so they would let the junior in."

"If I really do this, I'm afraid I'll be imprisoned tomorrow, and I won't see Mr. Zhang again."

"Senior still likes to joke, Li Jing is still familiar with junior, he will not treat the two seniors like this."

Good guy, the two masters couldn't help but twitched their beards.

Calling His Highness the Prince's name directly, this is the only one who dares to do so in such a big Li.

"I hope Mr. Zhang understands that it's not that we don't want to let people in. There is really no way."

Zhang Qianyan nodded, she naturally understood the helplessness of the two seniors.

So she didn't rush in and force her way in, but said seriously:
"This junior knows, so this junior is waiting here. It's fine for the two seniors to continue playing chess, and ignore this junior."

But she was staring at him in such a daze, it was hard to ignore her.

The two masters pondered for a while, and finally relaxed a little, and put the already chaotic chessboard in front of Zhang Qianyan, and asked:

"Master Zhang, what did you see?"

"A chaotic chessboard with no structure."

The two masters nodded and continued to ask:
"In that case, Master Zhang, do you know why such a situation occurs?"

"The younger generation was offended, and the mood of the two seniors fluctuated just now."

The two masters showed a gratifying smile that can be taught by children:
"Master Zhang, don't you understand everything?"

Zhang Qianyan was stunned, as if he had grasped something in his heart, but he was still a little uncertain:
"The juniors are stupid, and I hope the seniors will speak clearly."

The two masters restored the chessboard to its previous state and explained:
"I also know that Master Zhang came here for that Langya Sword Cultivator, but Master Zhang please take a look."

In front of him is a chessboard in which black and white stand against each other.

"Right now, Baixia Town is just a huge chessboard, and the chess players don't need to tell me clearly, Mr. Zhang should understand."

Zhang Qianyan nodded. Now that Baixia Town has flooded with various forces, there are more chess players than there are on the chessboard.

"And as a chess player, the most important thing is not to be in a mess. People like me who have poor concentration will not be able to be such a chess player in this life."

One of the grandmasters took down a white chess piece and pointed to Zhang Qianyan:

"As for Mr. Zhang, you can't be the one either."

"Senior, please teach me." Zhang Qianyan did not show displeasure, but asked humbly for advice.

The master thought about it for a long time, thinking about how to mention this persistent Master Zhang without being punished by His Highness.

"Master Zhang, the master of the world, Mr. National Teacher, is one of the chess players, but Mr. Zhang can only become a pawn on this chessboard, and maybe it will be of great use at a certain moment. , but after all, it cannot command the overall situation.”

"Because Mr. Zhang is just like us, his mind is in a mess at the moment. If he enters the game forcefully, it will definitely turn the chessboard into chaos like before."

"Presumably, Master Guoshi also had such considerations, so he didn't tell Master Zhang the truth."

Zhang Qianyan pursed his lips slightly, looking serious.

Does Master really think so?
Today's chess players are nothing more than a few big forces.

One, the Dali imperial family, their own master can be regarded as one of the forces in this side.

Second, Prince Li Jing, what exactly does he want to do?
Three, Yaozu.

Fourth, the major holy places that came here to find the innate spiritual treasure, although they did not participate in the struggle here, it is difficult to guarantee that the situation will become more chaotic and will not come out to take a share.

Your own mentality, is it really not good?
Zhang Qianyan suddenly remembered his indifference to Gu Youqing before going out.

Maybe Master is right.

"The junior probably understands. The junior wants to talk to Li Jing, so I ask the two seniors to pass on the message for the junior."

The two masters were helpless, but they did not expect that this would not convince the future national teacher.

They just had to report the news.

The result is, of course, no see.

Zhang Qianyan didn't wait any longer this time, but returned directly to the inn after being rejected.

After taking the green ox back to the backyard, she saw Gu Youqing who was feeding the geese with the green bamboo.

Naturally, Luzhu wanted to express himself in front of Gu Youqing, and wanted to know the secret that even the saint didn't know, so he forced him to feed the geese together.

Seeing Zhang Qianyan walking towards the two of them, Luzhu first gave her a fierce warning as a warning, and then left by herself.

She naturally understood that this great yin and yang magician in the late Yuanying period must have something to discuss when he came to see Gu.

And from now on, she will learn from little sister Xiaoxi and be an obedient maid.

Gu Youqing hesitated for a moment, but still greeted Zhang Qianyan.

"Zhang Zhenren."

Zhang Qianyan smiled and apologized:

"I had some urgent matters to deal with earlier, so maybe I left Young Master Gu in the cold, so I apologize to Pindao."

Gu Youqing smiled and waved his hands, expressing that he didn't take it to heart.

Being treated like that by Zhang Qianyan before, he almost thought that this Taoist knew what he had done to her in the simulation through some kind of magic to spy on the secrets of heaven.

Zhang Qianyan came to Gu Youqing this time, besides apologizing, he also wanted to ask him something.

"Since the last time I talked with Mr. Gu about the murder of the widow Wang by the warrior, Pindao has been thinking day and night about how to break the situation."

"After many days, Pindao has to admit that maybe what Mr. Gu said is more reasonable."

"Abuse of the strict law will definitely lead to some extreme atrocities. Although Pindao is quite unwilling to give a sexual order to the rapist, Pindao has to admit that this will indeed reduce the death probability of the victim."

"Thank you Mr. Gu for clarifying the confusion."

Zhang Qianyan solemnly saluted Gu Youqing.

Gu Youqing slapped haha ​​to perfunctory the past.

Zhang Qianyan continued to ask his own questions:
"Pindao has been thinking a lot these days. Taking this opportunity today, I would like to ask Mr. Gu, if there is a conflict between emotions and reason, how should I choose?"

"The real person refers to conscience and reason?"

"That's roughly what it means, Mr. Gu's understanding is not wrong."

Gu Youqing thought for a moment, and said to Zhang Qianyan seriously:
"Really, Gu asked the real person a question."

"But it doesn't matter."

"Supposing that one day, the real person and Gu have no cultivation base, they are living in the desert and cannot find a source of water. At this moment, two pots of water suddenly appear in front of us, one of which is clean water, and the other is a highly poisonous medicinal liquid. , and the real person happens to be able to see through the two jugs of water which one is water and which one is poisonous, what choice will the real person make at this time?"

Zhang Qianyan was slightly taken aback, and soon his eyes were empty, and he began to think seriously about Gu Youqing's question.

In other words, if she chooses water, Mr. Gu will drink the venom and die, while she will live.

It doesn't seem very good.

And what if he chose the venom and left the water to Mr. Gu?

It seems to be the correct answer, but if faced with this situation, do you really have the courage to risk your life to let Mr. Gu survive?
She thinks she can't do it.

Just when she was hesitating, Gu Youqing spoke:

"The real person is really kind-hearted. In fact, during the time when the real person is hesitating, Gu, who can also see through which pot of water is poisonous, has already drank the clear water first, and will work hard to pour another pot of poison into the real person. throat."

Immediately Zhang Zhenren raised his eyebrows, a little annoyed: "Mr. Gu, you also..."

But she didn't know what to be angry about. From the perspective of the other party, he didn't do anything wrong.

Gu Youqing continued:
"Real man, decision kills real man's conscience, or conscience kills real man."

"Rationality and conscience, from the perspective of righteousness, everyone will choose conscience, but if it involves individuals, it's hard to say."

Zhang Qianyan was stunned for a while, and it took a long time to recover.

Finally laughed at myself:
"So that's the way it is. It's not as thorough as Mr. Gu's understanding of the poor way of practicing the way for more than ten years."

"It's just Gu's nonsense, a real person can't take it seriously."

"My lord, don't underestimate yourself..."

……

Li Jing's house.

Jiannandou, who was imprisoned at that time, was sitting quietly, wiping his sword very seriously.

Li Jing stood beside him, but paced back and forth uneasily.

Seeing him like this, Jiannandou felt annoyed, and cursed: "Li Jing, don't turn around, it will make my eyes dizzy."

Li Jing didn't get angry with him, but frowned and said: "The Yaozu put pressure on the father and asked me to hand you over to them."

Jiannandou was not surprised, but said with a chuckle: "It's very good, it will allow our plan to proceed smoothly."

Li Jing was silent, and finally spoke after a long time:

"Brother Jian, are you ready?"

Jiannandou threw the spotless sword to Li Jing.

Li Jing took over the sword with a solemn and dignified expression.

He looked at his close friend and said in a sad voice:
"Brother Jian, please die!"
