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

He looked at the Empress and responded, "If those townspeople hadn't died, they could have lived."

The Empress frowned and said, "What if he dies?"

"Even if they don't die today, they will die by my sword tomorrow." Gu Jiu said with a calm expression.

The surroundings were very quiet. This apparent calm was even more terrifying than the thrilling life-and-death battle that had taken place before.

Because whether the empress will take action is really just a matter of thought.

Just like Gu Jiu said, if the empress wanted to raise a Gu, she would naturally like the strongest one, but if the Gu was out of control, then she would have to consider whether this Gu was necessary.

A strange light flashed across the empress's eyes. She put away her floral paper umbrella, looked at Gu Jiu, and said, "What's the point of being proud at this time?"

Gu Jiu replied, "This isn't pride, it's just what's right. The townspeople died, and these guys were buried with them. It's only fair."

Wu Mei smiled and said, "A few hundred ordinary people want to be buried with the emperor's saint?"

Gu Jiu said seriously, "To me, these saints are nothing, but those townspeople can be considered my friends."

Wu Mei looked at Gu Jiu for a while, then looked up at the sky, recalling what happened more than 20 years ago. That feeling of powerlessness was just like when she faced Gu Jiu now, lingering in her heart like a maggot attached to her bones.

She could keep reasoning with Gu Jiu, or she could fight with him and wait for an opportunity to kill him, but she could never make him bow his head.

In this respect, she and Gu Jiu are the same type of people, as well as the guy in the sky.

She believed that she was not afraid of anyone in her life, but those things kept pestering her like a stubborn disease, and she finally felt tired.

She had known since the day the Anomaly arrived that she would face it someday. She just hadn't expected it to arrive so soon.

To some extent, this anomaly was caused by her.

Gu Jiu said that she was a Gu breeder, but in the eyes of those beings, she was just a Gu being raised, except that she was the biggest.

Looking at Gu Jiu's face that looked like a god or a devil, Wu Mei sighed and said, "You are very strong. Even I have never seen such a strong person like you in my life. I didn't choose to kill you, but it was because I was too lonely. Every day when I woke up, I found that there was not even a person in this world who could look forward to it with me.

Those townspeople didn't die, so no more people need to die here.

If you're willing to listen to my thoughts on the world, come find me after you've rested. If not, you can leave now."

At this time, Gu Jiu used his sword to poke the ground, turned his head and asked, "Is there anything to eat?"

After hearing Gu Jiu's words, Wu Mei frowned slightly, and felt that the person in front of her was really interesting.

……

Gu Jiu was eating, eating with some effort because he was really hungry.

He had not eaten well when he came to Galan from the north. After such a great battle, he was injured and bled a lot, and his stomach was already empty.

After reaching the Mountain Moving Realm, most practitioners will choose to practice fasting to maintain the purity of the spiritual energy in their bodies.

Gu Jiu felt that life would lose too much fun without eating.

After dinner, Gu Jiu went to take a bath.

Warm water was stored in a large bucket, emitting steaming hot water.

Gu Jiu took off all his clothes and slid in. He couldn't help but frown and closed his eyes.

The injuries he suffered were not light. Not to mention the two terrible wounds on his hands and forehead, even his meridians were burning with pain.

In the past, at such times, he could relieve the pain by simply reciting the "Mahavairocana Sutra", but this time, the energy of the Mahavairocana Sutra seemed to have lost its effect.

Especially after the wound was submerged in water, the pain seemed to be connected to the heart, causing Gu Jiu to sweat coldly on his forehead.

In the eyes of the world, the higher the level of a practitioner, the easier it is for the body to recover, but the reality is just the opposite.

The higher the realm of a practitioner, the slower they recover than ordinary people. It is like a complex and sophisticated machine. Once a problem occurs, it will be very troublesome to solve it.

Gu Jiu was able to defeat half of the eight enemies by himself. Strength was one aspect, and skill was another.

It can be seen that, except for the black-clad swordsman, the others have a shallow understanding of combat.

In other words, these saints are lazy in fighting.

Too many good days come at a price.

The price for Jing'e is death, and for those saints, it means serious injuries and disability, making it difficult to recover.

Gu Jiu soaked in the water, washed the blood off his face, and kept staring at his reflection in the water.

There was a row of deep, long wounds on his forehead, which looked a bit scary and would probably be difficult to recover from.

Gu Jiu looked at his face for a long time. Finally, he said in a very determined tone, "You are still so handsome."

Chapter 37: Losing Everything

Gu Jiushu took a comfortable bath until the blood was washed away and the clear water had turned red, then he stood up.

As soon as he stood up, the palace servants ran over and began to wipe him and dress him.

Looking at the two cautious young men in front of him, Gu Jiu still felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.

Because in his concept, or in his memory of costume TV dramas, at this time, it should usually be a woman who serves him.

But the world is upside down. How can a man's body be easily seen by a woman? It would stain his innocence.

The new robe was clean and comfortable, worthy of being made by a tailor in the palace.

After taking a shower, Gu Jiu had a good sleep in the royal city.

He slept very deeply, as if he had sunk into the deepest water.

While Gu Jiu was asleep, there was a chaos outside.

Everyone knew that Gu Jiu came here to compete with the National Master, and what people were most concerned about was naturally the result.

There are constant reports that the National Master is dead, but Gu Jiu is still alive. What does this mean?

Such news is naturally terrible, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a major earthquake.

Because no one could have imagined that the national teacher would die.

As the second-in-command of the empire and the leader of all forces, Jing'e has always been "second only to the emperor and above everyone else."

She was in power for so long that the impression she left on people is particularly deep-rooted.

Even the man who had cheered Gu Jiu up before was now filled with fear.

For ordinary people like them, what they fear most is chaos in the world. Does the death of the national teacher mean that the world will never be at peace?

In fact, the biggest shock was in the world of cultivation.

The news that Gu Jiu had defeated five people at once spread quickly, and the bigwigs from the major sects were naturally frightened and turned pale.

Gu Jiu proved with his absolute strength that he could not only stir up trouble in the north, but also in Galan.

Is he the National Master, is he the Blood Hand, is he the Soul Dream Fairy... In your territory, in your game, he can also break it by himself.

At this time, the residents of Xinghua Town, who had regained their lives, could not help but kowtow towards the direction of the imperial palace after learning about Gu Jiu's deeds.

Because Gu Jiu was there.

They thought they were doomed to die, but they didn't expect that the teacher from Qingliu Academy would actually come to Galan City for ordinary people like them.

For a moment, Gu Jiu slept very quietly, a typical handsome man, while the atmosphere outside was already turbulent.

The atmosphere in the entire Galan City has been terribly depressing these past two days, including among families of all sizes.

The struggle between heaven and man eventually affected mortals.

Because apart from single people, a family consists of either men or women, and because of this incident, the relationship between men and women has become more tense than ever before.

There was no more scolding, teasing, or harmony as before, only silence remained.

Many families throughout the Tang Dynasty became like this, and husbands and wives seemed to have become strangers overnight.

If Jing'e had not previously made an example of some men who practiced cultivation, this atmosphere would definitely not have spread so quickly.

At this time, as long as Gu Jiu is still alive and still living in Galan City, it means that the concept of "women are superior and men are inferior", which has been like a stagnant pool of water for thousands of years, has changed for the first time.

Gu Jiu is a man, but he was able to kill the national teacher who was the leader of the Eight Directions Storm. Doesn’t that prove that men are actually not worse than women?

And from beginning to end, the person in Galan City remained silent.

The cultivation sect that had been trying to end Gu Jiu's life had already given up.

In the entire Tang Dynasty, how many saints can be sent there?

In fact, many people, especially many women, placed their hopes on the empress.

If the empress wanted Gu Jiu to die, it was unlikely that Gu Jiu would survive.

In their eyes, the Imperial Master and the Empress have been sisters for many years, and there is absolutely no reason for the Empress not to avenge her sister.

Gu Jiu disappeared from the palace, and many people believed that it was a sign that the empress had put an end to him.

Gu Jiu was the first torch that ignited the female-dominated worldview in thousands of years, allowing men to see the light while also burning the hearts of those in power, that is, women.

The reason why Gu Jiu was willing to stay in the palace to rest was that he was very interested in what the empress said.

He once listened to the True Buddha's clone talk about the whole world in Taohua An, and now, he wanted to know what the world looked like in the eyes of the empress.

What is the difference between what this emperor, who could cut a mountain with one sword and was the most domineering emperor in thousands of years, saw and what he saw?

Gu Jiu slept until the next afternoon, and then he had a big meal of food and drink in the palace before preparing to meet the empress.

The place where the empress met him was at Ganlin Terrace.

This is the highest platform in the imperial palace and also the highest in Galan City. The platform is an ancient monument and has been raised several times to a height of nearly three hundred feet.

In the past, emperors offered sacrifices to heaven here, while empresses who did not offer sacrifices to heaven used it for spiritual practice and enlightenment.

Standing here, when the rare good weather comes to Galan, the entire Galan city will be in sight.

And today, after a continuous spring rain, Galan City ushered in rare good weather.

The sky is blue, without even a trace of cloud.

The empress stood there, as if she was taller than the sky.

This was Gu Jiu's most real feeling when he saw the woman's back again.

Without any hesitation, he stood shoulder to shoulder with the other person naturally.

He was probably the first man in the past hundred years to stand with the empress in such a manner.

This is disrespectful and disobedient. Under normal circumstances, if it happened to anyone else, this would be a capital crime, but Gu Jiu is not like other people.

He had just recently proved that he was above all storms.

The Empress didn't look at Gu Jiu, but looked into the distance and said, "You standing with me like this makes it easy for me to have the urge to possess you."

Wu Mei said "I" instead of "Zhen", which shows that she was not proud of her status at that time.

Gu Jiu shook his head and replied, "I'm not like those coquettish bitches you have."

Wu Mei smiled and said, "How about I marry you in a formal ceremony and make you my queen?"

Because the image of the emperor is so deeply rooted, even though women have been dominant in this world for thousands of years, the titles of emperor and empress have not changed much.

In the entire empire, the most powerful person is the emperor, and the emperor can make the man he loves most his queen.

Women rule the world, men rule the harem, they divide the work and cooperate to stabilize the world. This is a rule that has been passed down in the Tang Dynasty for a long time.

But it has been thousands of years, and the emperor has changed several times, but the position of queen has remained vacant.

The same is true for the current empress, but she has a completely unknown secret that even the imperial teacher Jing'e does not know. She has never enjoyed any of the so-called three thousand male favorites.

The empress has always been arrogant. The men in this world do not have the domineering power of ancient times. Occasionally, one or two waves emerge, but are immediately pushed back to the bottom of the sea by huge waves. Naturally, she will not take them seriously.

She also contributed to this situation, but the general trend is that women have been dominant in this world for thousands of years, and it will take time to change it. What's more, she has no intention of changing.

Before today, she always believed that no man was worthy of her. In addition, she was devoted to Taoism, and her desire for men became weaker and weaker. The so-called three thousand male favorites in the palace were just a cover-up for the world. Adopting four children as princesses was also partly for this purpose.

If the person in power has no offspring, his subjects will inevitably have rebellious intentions.

The empress's life was becoming more and more tiring, and this became more and more obvious after the shocking changes more than twenty years ago.

After all, no matter how powerful or scheming you are, you are just a chess piece and can be discarded at any time.

She never gave up resisting, but from the first moment she saw Gu Jiuqi, her heart began to waver, and it was getting more and more intense.

Those beings were causing trouble, but she didn't want to resist.

She was so tired that she wanted to rest for a while regardless of the identity of the person in front of her.
