Chapter 41 Playing with life and experiencing extreme sports!
“My master mentioned that he asked the benefactor to stop the disturbance quickly. It wouldn’t be good if someone died!”
“Oh, you want my help, so I’ll help? Humph, I won’t.”
Although Gu Yu was very interested in the little monk’s master, and even secretly guessed if it was that old monk Jiekong, he didn’t immediately step forward to help. Instead, he stood leisurely in place, watching a group of people running around.
Saving people?
Who can’t just say it!
They didn’t even think about why these people were running around now. It was because he drugged the middle-aged man and thought it was a murder case… How could the person who was considered the murderer stop the chaos?
If he directly stopped them from escaping, some people would probably lose their minds and jump off the mountain.
They would die even faster.
Moreover, why should he help?
If others seek death, what does it have to do with him.
Let them die if they want to die.
Unless the old monk Jiekong was here and said a word to stop these people from running around, it would offset the calamity… In that case, Gu Yu felt it was necessary for him to act, as he could control these people in one fell swoop.
After all, he had the soul-suppressing bell!
But, with just a word from the little monk, Gu Yu was too lazy to pay attention to him.
“Wife, let’s continue walking up. The sooner we reach the summit, the sooner we can go back.”
“Okay, let’s go!”
Immediately, Gu Yu ignored the little monk with an anxious expression and called to Gu Mengyao beside him to continue walking up.
If he couldn’t see the old monk Jiekong this time, he wouldn’t come a second time no matter what.
Climbing mountains was too tiring!
With the kung fu of climbing mountains, he could lie in bed and happily read books and daydream. This was normal daily life!
“Benefactor Gu, do you really intend to watch them die and not save them? Although my master said you wouldn’t care, I think people have good intentions and should not…”
“You said my master said I wouldn’t care?”
“…Yes.”
“Oh, then your master was right. I really won’t care… Don’t talk to me about all sorts of nonsense. I’ll ask you one question! Why should I help them? Do they give me silver, or do they know me? In the absence of anything, they saw the person drugged by me and called it murder. Why don’t they hurry up and die!”
“You, you…”
“What about me! I get annoyed just looking at you. Don’t talk to me in the future, or I’ll beat you every time I see you. Even your master can’t stop me.”
Because he rarely went down the mountain, the little monk didn’t interact with many people, and he had never met anyone like Gu Yu.
His master had once said… within the time they were alive, no matter if the people they met were good or bad, they all had a layer of disguise to hide among the crowd, making it impossible for others to discover their traces.
Hiding their true selves would prevent their exposure.
However, the person named Gu Yu in front of him made the little monk very confused.
Because he had no disguise at all.
His personality was like this, his actions were like this, and his beliefs were like this.
Could it be, as his master said, that this person had an extremely complex fate? He was a true dragon who had landed in the mortal world, acting without restraint throughout his life, yet was willing to be trapped in the mortal world and refused to soar to the heavens!
Thinking about these things, the little monk looked at the receding backs of Gu Yu and his group and couldn’t help but chant Amitabha.
…
“A’yu, about what just happened?”
As they continued to walk up the mountain, Gu Mengyao asked about the commotion just now. Gu Yu shook his head with a bored expression, thinking these people had nothing better to do.
Whether or not they intended to do something to Yunlong Temple was none of Gu Yu’s business. He just wanted to repay the good karma given by the old monk, so as to avoid a lot of trouble in the future.
That is, he urgently needed the golden orchid wood and the dagger, otherwise, he wouldn’t have come all this way to look for it!
“It’s just someone deliberately causing trouble, we… wait, wife, what are you holding?”
“The person who shouted the words ‘Old Ten’ earlier, I think he knows what’s going on inside.”
“Hmm… then keep holding him! We’ll hand him over to those monks after we reach the summit, and then it won’t be our business.”
However, when Gu Yu turned to look at Gu Mengyao, he found that she was still holding someone in her hand.
After hearing that this person was the one who had just shouted Old Ten, Gu Yu raised his hand and touched his chin. He didn’t ask Gu Mengyao to throw the person away directly, but decided to take him to the summit.
Perhaps, the calamity he was going to help Yunlong Temple resolve would find a clue in this person.
Ruan Zhizhi, who was following beside them, was also astonished by the fierce style of the young couple, Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao.
At the same time, she thought that Gu Mengyao was indeed of military general descent. She was holding a person now, but it was like holding a feather, without any weight at all. Ruan Zhizhi looked at it with envy.
In her youth, she was also a female knight roaming the Jianghu, but her martial arts were not as high as Gu Mengyao’s.
Thinking about the past, Ruan Zhizhi couldn’t help but get distracted. When her foot suddenly stepped on a small stone, her body immediately fell backward.
Just as Ruan Zhizhi was panicking in her heart, Gu Mengyao, who didn’t know when she had moved behind her, used her empty hand to support Ruan Zhizhi’s back, preventing her from falling backward.
This made Ruan Zhizhi pat her chest with lingering fear after she stood firm. After thanking Gu Mengyao, she started climbing the mountain seriously, not daring to get distracted anymore.
Gu Mengyao’s skills were indeed amazing, but she was also a kind child!
“Benefactor Gu, you’re finally here!”
“Master Jiekong, it’s really not easy to meet you!”
When Gu Yu and his group finally climbed to the summit, before Gu Yu could observe the surrounding situation, the voice of the old monk Jiekong suddenly rang out.
Gu Yu heard this and frowned slightly, then turned his head to look in the direction of the sound.
Jiekong’s attire was the same as when he first saw him at the Tang Sect.
There was no change at all.
Unlike him, he was now panting and extremely uncomfortable.
Damn it, what kind of family builds a temple on such a steep mountain? Is this going up to burn incense?
This is playing with life and experiencing extreme sports!
“Gu Yu, Mengyao, this is Master Jiekong of Yunlong Temple. Last time, my son’s fortune slip was interpreted by Master Jiekong. If I had listened to the Master’s words, I’m afraid…”
“Benefactor, there’s no need to be so sad. It’s all in the past. Although you lost your beloved son, you found your lost daughter, and you formed a good karma with the Gu family… There are gains and losses, and that’s life.”
“Thank you for your guidance, Master.”
Upon meeting Jiekong, Ruan Zhizhi couldn’t hold back her tears again. Gu Yu, who was standing beside her, found it excruciating, thinking about how much the sect leader’s wife could cry!
Crying so much, how much water would she need to drink to replenish it…
However, the old monk Jiekong was indeed good at comforting people. With just a few words, he had comforted Ruan Zhizhi and stopped her from crying.
He really had a skill!
“Benefactor Gu, would you like to draw a fortune slip?”
“Yes, after all, I’m also very curious about how effective Yunlong Temple’s fortune slips are.”
After Jiekong comforted Ruan Zhizhi, he then shifted his gaze towards Gu Yu. When Gu Yu heard the inquiry about drawing a fortune slip, the corner of his mouth suddenly turned upwards.
Calculate!
Why not calculate!
He wanted to see what kind of fate he had!
