Chapter 514: Chapter 77: Ao Tang’s Mistake_2
But she also knew she couldn’t just act willfully and make trouble. What right did she have to interfere so broadly?
Now that they were Daoist Couples, things were naturally different.
The two were surprised by how much their attitudes and demands towards each other had changed since their relationship evolved.
In just half a day, I demanded he (she) could only have room for , how truly strange.
Yu Hua couldn’t help but chuckle first, her smile dazzling, she said: “It seems we both have opinions about each other’s existence, and we’re both quite unreasonable.”
Gu Wen laughed, and said: “No one is perfect, you and I are not perfect, even Master has many faults.”
Yu Hua nodded in agreent, and said: “Master does have quite a few problems, not as good as I imagined.”
When talking about that peerless Immortal, as Qingcang’s closest people, their consensus grew stronger.
They could list Qingcang’s various ‘sins’ in detail.
Yu Hua asked softly: “So, how do you know all this?”
“You’re quite jealous.”
“Tell , or don’t touch .”
“Mortals also have similar books, teaching new couples how to conceive children. You don’t really think two people just lie on the bed, sleep, and voila, there’s a child, do you?”
Gu Wen explained helplessly, Yu Hua pondered for a while and reluctantly accepted this explanation.
“So, should we continue?”
“…”
Yu Hua pursed her lips, her face blushing as if it were about to steam, stamred: “I haven’t learned yet, so I can’t teach you, give so ti, until I’ve finished reading.”
Seeing her like this, Gu Wen couldn’t help but smile: “I’ll wait for you to thoroughly read this book.”
“One month will do, it’s always been teaching you.”
Yu Hua spoke firmly, as if betting on her honor.
In the morning, the two unusually took a walk together, rising on the white clouds.
As Gu Wen’s feet left the ground, an invisible shackle instantly pulled him back, but he disregarded it and carried Yu Hua across.
They went to the nearby city, and because of the Zhao family’s tributes or the third generation Emperor also seeking immortality, the city was nad Immortal Serving City, and the food there called Immortal Food. The townsfolk greeted each other with “Immortal greetings,” and every household hung Gu Wen’s Longevity Sect sign.
Decades had passed, and the Jiang family’s empire no longer had its past prosperity.
Without constraints, the third Jiang family Emperor was no different than the Zhao family.
Yu Hua noticed too, so she couldn’t help but ask: “Can Master’s dream of Universal Unity really be achieved?”
“It can’t be achieved by Master alone, even with countless powers and thods it’s impossible for one person to achieve unity.”
Gu Wen shook his head in denial, overlooking the Daxia, which was no different from the Zhao family’s empire, he stated a fact.
After those who wielded greater violence left, the essence of the Jiang family under no constraints was no different from the Zhao family, due to human nature.
But if feudal monarchy was eradicated from the start, the world wouldn’t have been peaceful for so long.
This might not be the best outco, but it’s the least bad outco.
“Conquering the world is the easiest, like a target set on a vast plain. Governing the world turns that into a soaring eagle, flying in the Nine Heavens, sotis fast, sotis slow, sotis high, sotis low.”
Yu Hua said pessimistically: “Inside and outside the Immortal Land, whether it’s a dynasty or a major city directly under the sect, they ultimately are all the sa. After hundreds of years, they fall into decay. The sects are the sa, their legacies still exist, but every thousand years there’s always internal strife.”
“Quite a few great powers who left the Daoist Sect to establish their own sects did so because they lost in fighting.”
Gu Wen said: “So the Cultivation World has always been in decay. In my view, we shouldn’t leave any survivors, we should crush all opposing voices, not giving them any ground to live.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Hua hurriedly covered Gu Wen’s mouth, and said: “You can’t say that recklessly. If Master hears it, it might stir so dreadful storms. The Cultivation World has been relatively peaceful over the years. The great powers having retreats after losing fights avoids mutual destruction.”
Master would rember every word Gu Wen said and genuinely implent vigorous reforms based on his suggestions.
“How do you know I haven’t said it?”
Gu Wen smiled faintly, Yu Hua showed helplessness, not wanting to care anymore.
After all, they only had a few decades left, and what happens outside doesn’t matter.
“Let’s go see other places, like Luo River’s Heavenly Spring Mountain. That place is no longer a Taoist Field, but the scenery remains, resembling Broken Sword Mountain.”
Yu Hua and Gu Wen left Nanshui, following the river back to Luo River. Decades had passed, but this place hadn’t changed much.
They could even see the Jiu Zhenjun Tavern, repaired countless tis, but now things had changed.
In the entire Immortal Land, no cultivator dared to stay anymore.
——————————
The year-end approached, Daoist Sect was adorned with lanterns and festoons.
Gu Wen stayed in his room all day reading Yellow Flower Temple, Chi Yu Zi worried he’d beco a lustful ghost, brought Jade Sword Buddha who was hosting the Buddha eting at Daoist Sect.
As soon as the little nun entered, she started preaching various Buddhist scriptures, then as expected, was pressed on Gu Wen’s lap and spanked on the buttocks, limping out of the room.
During this, Lu Chan also visited, maintaining her role of a considerate junior sister, never advising but bringing more books similar to Yellow Flower Temple.
She even read together with Gu Wen, seemingly unafraid.
Seeing this, Chi Yu Zi relaxed, approached Gu Wen, and said: “Shall we go down the mountain for a drink?”
“Tomorrow.”
“What about the day after tomorrow?”
“The day after tomorrow, I plan to find out the whereabouts of that old donkey. I’ve co to Three Pure Mountain twice but haven’t seen him.”
Ao Tang, considered half a ntor to Gu Wen, dragged him around Immortal Land. Many tis, without Ao Tang’s help, they wouldn’t have escaped the enemy’s pursuit.
