The Extreme Princess

Chapter 123 Ghost hits the wall

The waning moon hangs alone.

On the empty and quiet street, Gu Yue took difficult steps towards the Zhou residence.

At this moment, Gu Yue seemed to have been drained of all his energy and spirit. He was in a daze, as if he had forgotten what the world was and who he was. He only knew that the road was ahead.

Yuan Lu followed behind Gu Yue.

Before this, she wanted to help several times, but was rejected by Gu Yue.

By the time the two returned to Zhou's mansion, the waning moon in the sky was about to disappear. The servants who had gotten up early had already left the land of comfort and began to pack their belongings.

After returning to the room, Gu Yue did not enter the state of meditation again. He did not even have the energy to wash up. He just fell asleep.

For eight consecutive days, Gu Yue did not open her eyes, let alone get up from the bed.

But when she was sleeping soundly, her brows were tightly furrowed most of the time, and low moans often came out of her mouth unconsciously.

The Zhou Mansion held a three-day banquet.

On the fourth day, Zhou Cang officially took over the position of City Lord and moved into the City Lord's Mansion.

The three-day banquet at the City Lord’s Mansion.

These days, the Zhou family is completely immersed in an atmosphere of joy. The rise of the Zhou family in Donghua City in the future can be foreseen.

After the battle at the City Lord's Mansion that day, Han Xiaoxiao in the next room simply regarded Gu Yue as her idol. If Yuan Lu hadn't stopped her, she would have even taken her bedding and slept on the floor in front of Gu Yue's bed!

With Zhou Cang moving into the City Lord's Mansion, all the people from the Four Seas Alliance were also settled in the City Lord's Mansion, but Han Xiaoxiao refused to move.

"It's been eight whole days..."

In the courtyard, Yuan Lu said to the old man with a worried look on her face: "If it weren't for Junior Sister's stable vital signs, I would be afraid..."

Han Xiaoxiao stood aside, looked at Yuan Lu, then looked at the old man, and wisely chose to shut up.

She was totally unable to help with this matter.

In front of the two women, Anyang frowned slightly, "It's been a while indeed..."

Everything is excessive.

Gu Yue's spiritual heart was damaged. Whether it was mending the damage or having a sudden enlightenment, it would definitely take time.

But nothing is too much.

If he continued to sink like this, he would not be able to muster up the mental strength to re-condense his spiritual energy. The Yuan Dan in his body might even disintegrate and return to the world again.

If this is true, Gu Yue is completely ruined!

Thinking of this, the old man sighed softly, prepared to push the door open and forcibly wake Gu Yue up.

crunch...

Just as the old man was about to take action, the door was opened from the inside.

Yuan Lu looked delighted.

However, after seeing Gu Yue's appearance at this moment, her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Gu Yue's face was still pale, and her whole body was emaciated. In just a few days, she went from a pretty girl to a mere skin and bones.

Anyang, who was standing at the front, twitched his eyelids, and a hint of doubt flashed in his cloudy eyes.

The next moment, a surge of anger rose from the bottom of his heart.

"Old man, if you know what's best for you, just shut up!"

The moment the old man's anger rose, an equally old voice seemed to cross the endless space and sounded directly in the old man's mind.

'Mad woman!'

The old man gritted his teeth secretly and looked at Gu Yue, "Think it through, have you figured it out?"

Gu Yue shook her head and smiled bitterly: "No..."

"Then why don't you keep thinking about it?"

Gu Yue said helplessly: "If Yue'er continues like this, I'm afraid I'll have to meet you again in the next life."

The old man glared at Gu Yue unhappily, "You still know this?"

Gu Yue walked down the steps slowly and sat down on the stone bench in the courtyard. "Senior, in the eyes of cultivators, is human life no different from that of livestock?"

Behind Anyang, Yuan Lu reached out and patted the back of Han Xiaoxiao's hand.

Han Xiaoxiao understood and quietly left the courtyard with Yuan Lu.

It’s not that Yuan Lu is stingy, but she doesn’t want Han Xiaoxiao to listen to Chang Zun’s teachings here.

The truth is that everyone's "Tao" is different, and the paths they take are also very different. We can learn from other people's paths, but only if they are the paths that have already been taken, they are of reference value.

Gu Yue's current state is not much different from being like a clay Buddha crossing a river. If Yuan Lu and the others get involved regardless of the risks, thus causing their own spiritual hearts to be tainted by dust, then it would be a loss!

The old man and Gu Yue were the only ones left in the courtyard. A faint barrier formed silently around them, covering the courtyard.

The old man stroked his long white beard with one hand and asked, "If one day, countless people are trapped in a deadly situation, and if you save them, you will die, will you save them?"

Gu Yue frowned slightly, and after thinking for a long time, she was about to open her mouth to give the answer in her heart, but the old man raised his hand to stop her.

"Using a wrong process to accomplish a rare good thing, is this thing itself right or wrong?"

Gu Yue was silent.

She had encountered this problem in her previous life.

Didn't understand.

Seeing Gu Yue's expression, the old man continued: "In your heart, you regard humans as the supreme existence, yes and no!"

Gu Yue nodded slightly.

Countless monks also started from the ordinary world and climbed up step by step...

However, Gu Yue's thoughts were interrupted by the old man's sneer.

"Why?"

Gu Yue was stunned.

"Why do you think that humans are the supreme beings in this world?"

Gu Yue smiled bitterly and said, "I don't think humans are supreme beings, but it's not easy to treat everything equally."

The old man's eyes were full of disappointment at Gu Yue's answer. He shook his head and said, "That being said, you don't really think that way in your heart. You haven't really faced your own heart."

"It's like destroying a huge anthill can improve your cultivation by one level. I believe that you won't do that at all!"

Hearing this, Gu Yue fell silent again.

indeed.

Even if she had to kill millions of ants, she probably wouldn't have any psychological burden.

"Practicing cultivation and ascending to higher heights, taking everything in the world for your own use, is an extremely selfish process. Since you have chosen to embark on this path, you should be clear that all things and spirits are just a handful of clear water in the long river of time. Occasionally, there will be splashes of water, which will not affect the long river as it continues to flow..."

Gu Yue nodded slightly, as if she understood.

The old man slowly walked to the stone table and sat down, smiling and said, "As for my first question, you actually gave me the answer when I first met you..."

"Since you would choose to save people, how do you know that more than 300,000 people are unwilling to sacrifice their own lives to save others?"

Gu Yue sighed and said, "It's just words to comfort myself..."

The old man chuckled and did not refute Gu Yue.

Gu Yue is now in a dead end, like she is trapped in a maze. In fact, Xuan Ji has already paved the way for Gu Yue, waiting for her to walk on it.

The old man chose to skip this topic and asked calmly: "If you had not chosen to activate the magic circle at that time, would the result be better?"
