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

In the eyes of others, he was like a sword drawn from its sheath, as if the mountain would be cut off with just a raise of his hand.

He said he likes simplicity, and the easiest way to solve all troubles in this world is to cut them off.

Cutting it in two with a single blow, cutting it in two with a single sword, or killing it with one strike are the most direct ways to resolve trouble.

The senior executives of Nuyi Tower initially had some objections to Hua Ningfeng's cowardice, but now that Gu Jiu had simply revealed a bit of his temperament, they had already decided that their leader was doing the right thing.

The other party brought such great pressure just by turning his back to them. If he came directly to cause trouble, who among them could withstand it?

Facing Gu Jiu's "sharpness", Hua Ningfeng, worthy of being a veteran, remained calm.

"Mr. Gu likes simplicity because he is the wind, not the grass. Your beliefs can be pure, but we cannot. For us, everything must be compromised. The Baxue Liu Pavilion is so powerful because you compromised.

This is how the world works. Young Master, already at the top of the mountain, doesn't understand the hardships we face on the mountainside. This North Tower, because I'm only a hair's breadth away from becoming a Saint, has always been consistently outshined by Ba Xue Liu Pavilion.

You don't know the price we will pay for that tiny gap, and you don't know how our sects are walking on thin ice."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but look at Gu Jiu and continued, "Just like now, if I submit to you like this, I will naturally be ridiculed by many people, but what can I do? If I had become a saint, if you were in the South Tower now, I guarantee that we would be much more successful than Ba ​​Xue Liu Pavilion."

After Hua Ningfeng said this, there was a faint gleam in her eyes, and she felt very satisfied.

These words not only made him feel better, but also took the opportunity to step on Ba Xue Liu Ge, which was like killing two birds with one stone.

Gu Jiu didn't look at her and said, "But the host still hasn't told me what that wild god is? Why do sects like yours worship it?"

Hua Ningfeng looked into the distance and asked, "Sir, do you know about Peach Blossom Temple?"

Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows and said, "I know."

Hua Ningfeng pondered for a moment and said, "The Peach Blossom Temple is full of ghosts, but like us, they are members of a cultivation sect. Do you know why?"

Gu Jiudao: "Why?"

"Compromise." Hua Ningfeng's answer was very direct.

"The waters of Taohua An are too deep, so deep that we have no choice but to accept their presence. You know their presence is unpleasant, like a fly in a dish, but you can only watch it there. The fly is there, and the dish is still edible, but if you fight the fly to death, it will turn into a poisonous snake and take your life.

In fact, when we were young, we all dreamed of slaying demons and monsters, but as time went on, you would find that the world was not like that. Sometimes the situation was stronger than you, and thinking in black and white would not help you survive for long.

Gu Jiu rubbed his nose and said, "But Taohua An is still gone."

"The Peach Blossom An is gone. Everything is just a matter of fate. If even the Peach Blossom An could be gone overnight, what about us? We are just a tiny link in countless destinies.

"Master Gu, you must understand that there are no more immortals or Buddhas in this world. Even immortals and Buddhas can suffer calamities, let alone us mortals. So, even if you are incredibly powerful, you must understand the cruelty of this world and the principle of compromise," Hua Ningfeng said with emotion.

Even now, she still had no doubt that it was Gu Jiu who destroyed Taohua An.

She was more inclined to believe that Taohua An encountered a natural disaster and was eventually destroyed.

After all, there were flashes and sparks that night, which looked like a sign of a heavenly calamity.

What's more, in her understanding, Taohua An is an existence that even saints cannot reach.

In addition, the main body of Taohua An is a tree, and its range of activity is only a few hundred miles in radius. Who would be stupid enough to fight with the tree for that barren land?

Gu Jiu raised an eyebrow and said, "Then has Master Hua ever thought about this: after the immortals and Buddhas fall into the calamity, in the eyes of ordinary people, we are the immortals and Buddhas. If we don't stand up for them, how are they going to face those things?"

Hua Ningfeng smiled slightly and said, "Young Master, you are still young and think that ordinary people are the same as us. But have you ever thought about what we are like in the eyes of immortals and Buddhas?"

Faced with this question, Gu Jiu thought for a while but did not find a definite answer.

At this point, Hua Ningfeng continued, "Since you consider us immortals and Buddhas to be the common people, then in my eyes, and indeed in the eyes of most of my fellow Daoists, ordinary people are nothing more than lambs. They are numerous, carrying babies for four months, and reproducing endlessly, more than enough for us and many other things to take. As long as we and other forces know our limits and don't over-exert ourselves, what's wrong with this kind of balance?"

When these words came out of Hua Ningfeng's mouth, Gu Jiu, Su Ying and Xiao Qi were all very surprised, but the rest of the people present were very calm.

These two completely different expressions appeared on their faces, clearly distinguished.

At this time, Xiao Qi couldn't help but interrupted, "But we are all human beings, and your parents are also human beings. Maybe they will become food for those demons."

Hua Ningfeng said calmly, "So there is a very important aspect of cultivation: severing the worldly dust."

The so-called "cutting off the worldly affairs" means severing one's ties with the worldly affairs. Even parents and sisters will become strangers in the end.

Gu Jiu sighed and said, "That's why I really don't like you people. You are born as human beings, but you regard where you come from as strangers and treat your own kind as lambs."

Hua Ningfeng looked at Gu Jiu and said seriously, "In fact, we don't like young people like you either. You are so black and white and don't know how to compromise. You overturn the table as soon as you start eating. You are either on the way to killing or being killed. Not only will you bring disaster to others, but you won't live long either."

At this moment, Gu Jiu discovered that Hua Ningfeng was not as cowardly as she appeared.

Her counterattack comes later, in the words she says after she has given in to you completely. It's like a stone in the cotton, making you feel a little uncomfortable when you are lying most comfortably.

From the beginning to the end, she was just arguing and looked like a weak person. If you take action, it will only prove that you are angry and have no manners.

Gu Jiu looked at the sea of ​​clouds in front of him, thinking about something, while Xiao Qi and Su Ying were already a little nervous.

The atmosphere in the venue became less relaxed and more solemn.

Hua Ningfeng, who was standing there, still had a calm expression, as if she was not the same person who had a forced smile on her face just now.

The lights of the eighteen mountains and eighteen buildings became much brighter at this time. Could this be Hua Ningfeng's confidence?

Gu Jiu stood there without revealing any murderous intent, because he was not a hot-tempered person, nor was he someone who would get angry when encountering opinions that went against his own.

It can be seen that Hua Ningfeng's communication with him was not impulsive, but the truth.

What Gu Jiu lacks now is the true thoughts of these practitioners standing in high positions.

Now that we have the idea, what next?

Should I continue the debate or just kill the person whose opinion contradicts my own?

In this conversation, he was testing Hua Ningfeng, and Hua Ningfeng was also testing him.

Perhaps his choice today will set the tone for his future and Qingliu Academy.

Chapter 27: Fence-Sitter (First Update)

In the end, Gu Jiu rubbed his nose and didn't take any action.

He said to Hua Ningfeng, "I disagree with your views. We are all human beings, just like ordinary people. The reason for human existence is not only because of blood inheritance, but also because of emotions. If a cultivator compromises everything, does nothing, and even forgets his own birth and emotions, then even if he gains power, what is the point?"

Hua Ningfeng said, "For us, maintaining the status quo is meaningful. What you see as boring is interesting to us. As I said, in our eyes, it's just a dish. As long as we don't starve to death, why bother to overturn the table? And the feelings between people are often weak and not worth cherishing."

"So you don't care about the feelings of ordinary people at all? Even if you come from there." Gu Jiu said.

"Do people care about the suffering of pigs or even crops?" Faced with this question, Hua Ningfeng had no intention of backing down.

At this moment, Gu Jiu couldn't help but reveal a strange smile, saying, "It turns out I've been misinformed all along. It's not that you don't consider yourselves immortals and Buddhas, but you think too highly of yourselves, to the point of looking down on your fellow beings as worthless. But in ancient times, there were twelve True Buddhas who suppressed the four directions, and the Taoist Lu Zu slashed the Ghost Gate with his sword. If we consider ourselves immortals and Buddhas, what have we done for the human race?"

Hua Ningfeng looked at Gu Jiu and said in a very certain tone: "Aren't the immortals and Buddhas doing this to compete for us lambs? The reason they do this is probably because some of them have too big an appetite and are about to overturn the table. They have no choice but to do it, otherwise why would they all be doomed?"

Gu Jiu smiled and said, "If your heart is towards darkness, everything will be dark. If your heart is towards light, light will come naturally. I don't believe that immortals and Buddhas can be so dark, and I also don't believe that most practitioners can ignore the suffering and life and death of their own kind."

When he said this, a light flashed in Gu Jiu's eyes.

He had once heard the battle-song-like phrase "I will not become a Buddha until hell is empty" underground in Qingliu Academy. As the true Buddha's incarnation in Taohua An said, their twelve incarnations were actually transformed from humans. This proved that some people would choose compassion even after gaining enough power.

If everyone in the world were like the true Buddha's clone under the academy, wouldn't the future of mankind be brighter?

Instead of being a stagnant pool now, waiting to be swallowed by something in the dark.

Hua Ningfeng smiled, a smile that was a little sinister, and replied, "Now I finally know that you are truly young, and not pretending.

I have lived longer than you, and have seen more than you. I want to ask, there are so many brilliant people in this world who want to change the world and have done so many great things, so why are their names not mentioned in history?"

Hua Ningfeng looked at Gu Jiu as if he were a young lamb, and continued, "Because they are all dead! They have turned into bones! Everything they did has been completely wiped out, not even their names are left. I want to tell you, young master, if people like you are too impulsive and too clear about right and wrong, they may end up like them.

"You are a human being, but you are facing a great trend. The trend has been turning for thousands of years, like a huge rock rolling down a mountain road. How can a flesh and blood body resist it, or even push it against the current?"

In the darkness of the night, Gu Jiu looked at the other person's face, thought of something, and said seriously: "In this case, I will try my best to live. The more you rotten old things dislike me and the more you want me to die, the more I will live and continue to make you uncomfortable."

As he spoke, he looked at the beautiful sea of ​​clouds in front of him and sighed, "I suddenly feel that letting people like you live in a place like this is really a waste of nature."

At this moment, there was murderous intent in Gu Jiu's eyes.

Yes, at this moment, in Gu Jiu's eyes, people like Hua Ningfeng were like blood-sucking worms lurking in humans. They sucked blood until they became extremely fat, while humans became weaker and weaker.

But they think this is absolutely right, and that ordinary people who help them become stronger are beasts and lambs. They believe that ordinary people should be grateful for some small favors from time to time.

Such a person doesn't deserve so much.

But the next moment, Hua Ningfeng lowered her head and said sincerely, "Young Master, tonight is just a debate, why bother with murderous intent? I was just expressing my own point of view, and I was speaking from the bottom of my heart. Since you want to take another broad path, you should know what most people in the cultivation world think now.

I could have been completely submissive and waited for you to leave so that everyone would be happy, but I didn't do that. You've been willing to listen to me talk for so long, so you must know what I'm thinking.

Gu Jiu glanced at the other person and said, "Interesting."

Hua Ningfeng lowered her head and said, "Now, you are the wind, and I am the grass. Normally, the grass will fall where the wind blows. But what I want to say is that there is more than one wind, and where I fall depends on which wind is stronger.

The reason why my opinion today is contrary to yours is that I think the wind outside of yours is stronger.

If one day, you become the strongest wind, then you are right."

Gu Jiu looked at the other person and suddenly felt that there was some truth in it.

If a person's views and code of conduct want to influence more people, it all depends on your personal energy.

The empress's sword can break a mountain and make the whole country excited, and the people are as excited as if it were New Year's Day. But what about him?

Perhaps it brings more anxiety and fear.

The world was entrenched, and he was an outsider.

For outsiders, influencing the world is as difficult as stopping a high-speed truck.

It is obvious that compared with these deeply rooted old guys, Gu Jiu's energy is still very weak.

There are many fence-sitters like Hua Ningfeng in this world. They often go with the flow, and as long as you become the trend, they will follow you.

And once you lose power, they will eventually abandon you.

But even so, Gu Jiu still said: "I don't like people like you. I don't like you now, and I won't like you in the future. Since I don't like you so much, why don't you uproot it now?"

Hua Ningfeng lowered her head even lower and said, "Because you are not such a bloodthirsty person, and everyone has the right to choose. The reason why I said so many things that made you unhappy was just to find another way out for Beilou. We are just grass, we are a hindrance now, but one day we may become your help."

At this time, Gu Jiu finally understood what Hua Ningfeng meant.

He was silent for a while, then said, "But Master Hua still hasn't told me why you worship a wild god?"

Hua Ningfeng frowned slightly and said, "Sir, have you ever thought that this land does not originally belong to humans, and humans are the outsiders."

Gu Jiu seemed to be thinking about something, and said, "Master Hua, are you saying that the wild god was the original owner of this land?"

Hua Ningfeng nodded and said, "When we migrated north, there was nothing here except the mountains. We thought it had no owner. Unfortunately, it did. Some people chose more drastic methods to drive out the original owner of the land, but our building simply chose a more cautious method."

Gu Jiu frowned and asked, "What's the price?"

"cost?"

"Every method has a price. Your safe method is definitely not as simple as lighting a few incense sticks."

Hua Ningfeng sighed and said, "This is our sect's secret. Please forgive me, sir. Moreover, almost every sect in the Northland has similar secrets, including your allies. I'm afraid this will disappoint you."

Gu Jiu knew without thinking that these secrets must be full of filth and dirt.

This is the compromise made by these sects. In Gu Jiu's eyes, these compromises are like a quagmire. In this quagmire, will human beings really get better and better?

Thinking of this, Gu Jiu couldn't help but let out a breath and said, "I'm tired."

Hua Ningfeng immediately bowed and said, "I've already prepared rooms for you three. It's an elegant residence on the 18th floor, with a breathtaking view."

The tone was like that of an innkeeper promoting the No. 1 room.

At this time, a gust of wind blew, and the incense ash in front of the wild god sculpture fell off a little.

If you look closely, you will find a shallow footprint on the incense ash.

But the incense ash had just been scattered on the ground, and nothing was passing by, so why were there footprints?

Chapter 28 "Cleansing the House" (Part )

The moonlight was like water, and the sensible Hua Ningfeng arranged a room in the upper room for Gu Jiu and the other two - Yunhaiju on the second peak.

The most sensible thing is that there is only one person in this room, but Gu Jiu has three people.

This attic on the second peak is smaller than the one on the main peak, but still magnificent.

According to Hua Ningfeng, the Yunhai Residence on the top floor of the 18th floor has a stunning view and only distinguished guests can live there.

When Gu Jiu and the other two actually entered the room, they realized why there was only one room on the 18th floor.

Because the room is very long, at least fifteen meters from left to right, it is circular.

Since the second peak is shorter than the main peak, and is even the shortest among the eighteen peaks of Nuyi Tower, the entire building seems to be in the sea of ​​clouds.
