I am at the highest level, living a life of eating and waiting to die in the fairy world of supernat

At this time, Gu Jiu reacted and said, "What does it mean that she can't come in?"

The monk said, "The fact that the Galan Monastery has managed to survive to this day is certainly due to something. My mother is indeed somewhat afraid of this monastery. Even she hasn't set foot inside the temple in all these years. But I think the day for her to come isn't far off."

As he spoke, the monk looked at the huge statue of Guanyin standing there, wondering what he was thinking.

Gu Jiu looked at the Guanyin statue and raised his eyebrows. "How about I help you tear it down after I finish my work?"

Chapter 40: Standpoint

After hearing Gu Jiu's words, the monk was shocked and speechless.

Can this thing be dismantled just like that?

He coughed and said, "I know that the donor is very strong, and the seniors behind him are also very strong, but this is the temple, and the price is too high."

Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows and said, "You mean, if I tear it down, I can't leave?"

The monk shook his head and said, "It's not advisable. The cost is too high. I advise you to give up this idea. You can roam freely in the North, but you'd better keep a low profile here. As far as I know, there is only one Saint in the North and less than twenty Mountain Moving Masters. But here, there are Saints from all directions, over a hundred Mountain Moving Masters, and many of them are unfathomable. With the power of the Saint, he is more than enough to strangle any Saint."

His tone was very serious, and the meaning was to develop slowly and not waste time.

Gu Jiu thought about it and didn't answer.

Seeing this, the monk sighed and continued, "In fact, I really don't understand my mother."

"She wasn't a good mother, and as an emperor she wasn't compassionate enough towards her people. But sometimes I wonder, if it weren't for this way of ruling, would the Tang Dynasty really be better off? Nowadays, most sects are under the control of the imperial court. Although the trend of female supremacy is prevalent, people's lives are relatively stable within the imperial court's sphere of influence.

The donor should know what is happening inside and outside the Tang Dynasty now. If the Tang Dynasty is not tied together, there will probably be a great disaster.

For thousands of years, sects have been like a flood and a beast, fragmented and prone to arbitrary behavior. Now, with a large portion of them under the control and constraints of the imperial court, it's hard to say whether this isn't a good thing. I wonder, perhaps only someone like my mother could accomplish such a thing.

As he spoke, he looked at the Guanyin statue and muttered, "Even we ourselves are a little confused about whether we should continue to maintain the Galan Temple. Moreover, we still don't understand the purpose of this Guanyin statue. If the donor destroys it, it may cause unrest."

Seeing him like that, Gu Jiu didn't know what to say for a moment.

He also could not understand the person deep in Galan City, so he could not tell whether she was a blessing or a curse to the Tang Dynasty.

Her appearance is a bit bad for men. The trend of female dominance is too strong, far exceeding the male dominance and female inferiority in ancient China. Moreover, she is too domineering and cruel, without any compassion or love for the people.

But from another perspective, she is very suitable for this country.

If she wasn't strong enough, as the monk said, the world would be in chaos, with no order at all.

Gu Jiu looked at it for a while and said, "Whether to demolish this illegal building or not will be decided after I finish my work."

The monk's expression was uneasy. He said, "Both the Imperial Palace and the underground mausoleum are not simple places. It's no exaggeration to say that they are among the most terrifying dens of dragons and tigers in the world. Young man, proceed with caution."

Gu Jiu asked him about the entrance to the You Dynasty Imperial Tomb. It was obvious that he would go there, so he kindly reminded him.

Gu Jiu patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, my elders are going, so I won't go. I have something else to do today, so I'll come and bother you another day."

After Gu Jiu left, the young abbot stood in the temple and looked around for a long time. For a moment, he didn't know how to express his feelings.

This was the first time in all these years that he had seen such an effeminate man.

He vaguely remembered the description of the wrathful Vajra in the Buddhist scriptures, but it seemed that it had not appeared in this world for a long time.

……

When Gu Jiu came back, it was almost dark.

Su Ying and Xiao Hui were waiting for him under a tree. In the dim light and shadow, they looked like silhouettes of an ink painting.

While waiting, Su Ying was very patient. She was reading a book while Xiao Hui was eating grass on the side. The scene was very harmonious.

After discovering Gu Jiu's return, she simply smiled and said, "Is everything going well?"

Gu Jiu nodded and said, "It went smoothly."

"That's good." Su Ying put away the book and said lightly.

During the time she was out with Gu Jiu, she had no time to read. Today, she took the opportunity to read for a while and felt refreshed.

Gu Jiu looked at Su Ying's refreshed appearance and sighed that the top students were really different. They became more energetic the more they studied.

Having come to this point, they had no choice but to enter the city.

Gu Jiu lay on Xiao Hui, looking at the towering city wall, wondering what he was thinking.

……

It was still the same stone forest, and still the same black hall. The national master Jing'e was sitting inside, as if he was in a trance.

The scent of sandalwood rose from the house, and combined with the black and white color scheme of the house, it looked like a fairyland.

About half a cup of tea later, a man in black wearing a black and white mask walked in.

After seeing Jing'e, she knelt on the ground and said, "Master."

E Jing sat there with his eyes closed and said calmly, "Speak."

"The young man named Gu Jiu left the Northland and recently appeared in Xueliu City." said the woman in black.

"You actually dare to leave the North, and then?" Jing'e's face had no expression, like a stone sculpture.

"Not only did he show his face, he also broke two fingers of the city lord's daughter."

"Very good. Not only did you leave the Northland, but you also dared to show your strength. What's next?"

"Then the rain became too heavy and his strength was too amazing, so they abandoned the carriage. We didn't dare to follow too close. They should be in the suburbs now." The woman in black replied.

"Is there any reaction from His Majesty?"

"not yet."

"Then continue investigating."

"Yes."

The sandalwood incense in the room rose up, covering Jing'e's face, and no one could see the expression on her face at the moment.

But the pervasive sandalwood scent still couldn't stop her face from turning gradually blue.

……

Even though it was almost nightfall, the hustle and bustle of Galan City still drifted out from inside.

There is no curfew in the temple, and the downtown area is bustling even at midnight. This is the demeanor of a capital city.

There were many lawless elements who wanted to cause trouble under the emperor's feet, and the grass on their graves was several feet high.

In addition to the patrolling armed guards, there are also many secret sentries in the city who are responsible for security. In other words, the eyes and minions of the court are everywhere here. If you dare to make trouble, you will be sent to see the King of Hell in minutes.

Gu Jiu and Su Ying took Xiao Hui and slowly walked towards the Nagalan city gate.

In the gloomy weather, the entire Galan City looked like a huge monster, and this city gate was its mouth.

There was no one checking or even guarding the gates of Galan City, which showed the confidence of the city's owner.

Even now, there is still a constant stream of people at the city gate, which shows how many people have gathered in this city.

As soon as we entered the city gate, the voices of people came like a tide.

Tall towers, spacious streets, crowded crowds, and red lanterns hanging on both sides of the streets, reflecting all kinds of faces.

Gu Jiu and Su Ying were shocked when they saw this scene.

They had never seen such a big city, not even Gu Jiu.

This is much more exaggerated than Xi'an.

Chapter 41 Take Me Flying

This was the first time for Gu Jiu and Su Ying to see a city of this scale.

In front of this majestic city, Yanyang City in the north is like a little kid.

It is difficult to describe this feeling. The lights of thousands of homes are connected together like a dazzling sea, which makes people feel the lively atmosphere.

The voices of people are like the tide, the crowds are like the tide, people's expressions are either hurried, or happy, or calm, or anxious, it is like a dye vat with spreading colors, full of human touch.

Here, you won’t think of ghosts or eerie things. Even if the sky is gloomy, you will feel safe here.

There are people around you, so you won't be too panic.

Humans are social animals. Even the otaku Gu Jiu likes such scenes.

It’s lively, look at the crowds, all with women’s waves floating around.

It's so lively. Look at the traffic jam. Even the unicycle bus can't get through. It's almost as busy as Beijing.

These faces, filled with different emotions, all represent hope.

The North is too desolate and barren, and with ghosts and monsters everywhere, the various sects are conservative, and human survival is not secure.

But the city in front of us is different. It is a truly majestic city and an indestructible existence.

Here, you will feel safe enough.

This sense of security is order.

The order created by the empress allowed the city to run in an orderly manner. This city with a population of one million was like the huge heart of the entire Tang Dynasty, full of vitality.

If it were in other cities, residents would have probably gone home long ago for fear of accidents.

The scene in Chang'an has a bit of the feel of a city that never sleeps.

After a tiring day, Gu Jiu couldn't wait to find an inn to rest.

Sitting at the window on the second floor of the inn, Su Ying was still looking at the bustling scene on the street.

When she was very young, she heard her master talk about the prosperity of Galan City and read about it many times in books. She didn't expect that when she saw it today, it would still far exceed her expectations.

Gu Jiu must have been really tired today. He didn't even bother teasing Su Ying and just lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

The noisy voices drifted into the house and became Gu Jiu's lullaby for sleep.

In fact, Gu Jiu did not sleep very well because he had a difficult problem: how could he find the Ganlin Hall in the imperial palace since he was a directionally challenged person?

I was in such a hurry to leave that I forgot to ask the young abbot for a map.

The palace courtyard is so deep that only someone who has actually lived there can draw a map.

If that doesn't work, he probably can only go back to the Galan Temple to find the other party's map.

He was so cool when he left, wouldn't it be embarrassing if he really had to go back?

The next morning, Gu Jiu woke up and decided to return to Galan Temple.

After much thought, he decided that this place would be the most suitable place to serve as a temporary base.

Ever since he entered the inn yesterday, he noticed someone was watching them.

These people were just ordinary customers, waiters, etc., but Gu Jiu could sense that they were observing him and Su Ying.

You can't just be a man and be the center of attention because you look good.

But I was wearing a conical hat.

Moreover, Galan Temple is a place that even the empress can do nothing about at the moment, so it should be safe enough.

He would never feel at ease if he let Su Ying stay in the inn while he went to rob tombs.

Su Ying was not sleeping soundly on the ground. She woke up quickly after hearing Gu Jiu's movement.

Gu Jiu made a quiet gesture to him, then put the silver on the table and pushed open the window.

Since he discovered that someone was following him, he naturally had to shake off the other person.

It was just getting light at this time, and Galan City, which had been noisy for most of the night, was the quietest at this moment.

Gu Jiu took Su Ying's Xuepu Sword and said to her, "Aunt, hold me tight later."

"Ok?"

Before Su Ying could react, Gu Jiu had already jumped up with her in his arms.

The second floor of this inn was not very high. When he fell about one floor down, the Xuepu sword was quietly unsheathed, turned into a stream of light, and was stepped on by Gu Jiu.

Then Gu Jiu performed a wall-flying move.

There were very few people on the street at this time, except for some drunk women who got drunk last night and were lying on the street in revealing clothes, and female beggars who were also dressed in revealing clothes.

A female beggar felt a gust of wind blowing over her head. She opened her eyes slightly, but found nothing and could not help but continue sleeping.
