"Xiao You, why don't you tell Sister Nightingale every time you go out... No, you'd better not go out if you have nothing to do." Although it was a bit difficult to say, Tang San still gave a sincere suggestion.
Tang San was numb, the mainland was peaceful and prosperous, and the four-year all-continent soul master competition was in full swing. According to Gu You, all it needed was a universal soul guide to broadcast it and it would be as popular as the World Cup.
In this situation, he encountered the Fallen three times. Although all the problems were solved smoothly, Tang San didn't know what expression he should use.
Originally according to Gu You's First Law, as long as Gu You participated in the hunting soul, it would rotate in the order of lucky-unlucky-lucky-unlucky.
The first time I went soul hunting with Xiaoyou, I got a soul bone.
The second time was when I helped Wang Sheng and Sister Sisi hunt souls. It was the first time I encountered the Fallen and I knew what kind of scumbag they were.
The third time was when he and Xiaoyou went soul hunting, and met Meng Yiran from the Dragon Snake Family, who helped him and others to successfully enroll in Tiandou.
The fourth time he helped Lanta hunt souls, he encountered the Fallen again. If it weren't for Lanta's first soul skill that helped him a lot, and if he hadn't met Zhu Zhuqing and got the help of the Soul King, he would probably have died there.
The fifth time, Xiaoyou and I went soul hunting again. Although it was a little dangerous, at least we got a lot of rare metals for free, which was a huge profit when rounded off.
The sixth soul hunt hadn't even started yet, but Tang San had already decided to ask Dugu Bo for help. But when he returned home, he ran into the Fallen for the third time, and Tang San was stunned.
'Do you want to find some time to help Xiao Youdiaozun worship the Bodhisattva...'
Under the night sky, Tang San always felt that Gu You's forehead was a little dark. Recalling the rumors in his previous life, if you are in bad luck and everything goes wrong, you should go to the bald donkey's temple to pray, and then you can turn danger into safety and everything will be fine.
Although Tang San, who came from the Tang Sect, didn't really believe in such things, he had confronted that group of bald donkeys when he went out for a short time.
But Gu You's strange luck was too strange. Tang San had a feeling that if he continued like this, he would be killed by this bad luck sooner or later. It was better to believe it than not to believe it. It was better to think of a way to help Gu You change his luck.
"No, Xiaosan, what do you mean?"
Looking at Tang San's expression, Gu You inexplicably had the illusion that his reputation was being harmed. He always called Nightingale with him when he went out? Was he some kind of young master that he had to call a beautiful bodyguard before he could go out?
Tang San could only sigh helplessly when he found that Gu You was completely oblivious to his strange luck. In the end, he had to bear it all by himself.
My mind was frantically thinking about the Bodhisattva statues I had seen before, and seriously considering which one could cure Gu You's problem.
“???” Tang San looked like he was racking his brains, leaving Gu You completely confused.
He talked about how wise and powerful he was, and how he "killed with a vine in his arms" and used his fiery passion to make the fallen person turn over a new leaf, recognize his mistakes, and strive to be a good person in the next life.
Why does Tang San have an expression like "someone with indecisiveness looking at the food delivery app and wondering what to eat tomorrow"? Isn't it okay to just clap and cheer here?
Besides, isn't it normal to run into a fallen person? With Tang San, the "chosen one" in the original novel, by your side, it's normal to run into some trouble when going out, whether it's good or bad.
Gu You, who blamed everything on Tang San, never expected that Tang San had the same idea and was even considering how to help him turn his luck around.
After a moment, Tang San could only give up this tempting idea. Because it was too long ago, and Tang San had seen the statue of Bodhisattva once in his previous life, the face of the Bodhisattva was already blurred, and Tang San could not perfectly replicate it.
Another key point is that Tang San doesn't know whether Bodhisattva will protect the people in Douluo Continent.
If it is guaranteed to be useful, then it is fine. But if it is useless after carving, and I have to explain to Gu You why I gave him a pendant for no reason and asked him to burn incense from time to time, that would be too troublesome.
I'm busy already, so I don't want to bother with all this nonsense.
Holding the hot tea in his hand, Tang San recalled the story of Chang Wei told by Gu You. He was very curious about what Gu You thought of this person.
"It's just that there's something wrong with your brain." Gu You complained mercilessly.
In Douluo Continent, if one is born into a soul master family, even if he or she is not at the level of a celestial dragon, one can still be said to be of middle-class origin.
Both his parents are alive, he has never committed domestic violence, and he has awakened his innate soul power. Compared to the majority of people who don't even have innate soul power, he is completely a lucky man.
In this situation, instead of enjoying a good life, he chose to turn himself into a half-human, half-ghost appearance just for the sake of "power" for no reason. Gu You could not think of any other explanation except that he had something wrong with his brain.
"Xiao You, don't you think it was that book that lured Chang Wei into depravity without him noticing?"
Gu You once told Tang San the story of Shelidan that he had heard from Mashu Nuo. As the first fallen person they had met, Tang San was deeply impressed.
Recalling how he saw Chang Wei and Chang Wei's diary that he found in the soul guide, Gu You shook his head seriously.
"Well, Xiao You, what do you think of the Spirit Hall? Is it really just?"
Tang San was a little confused at the moment. He was a disciple of the Spirit Hall who was born in the Spirit Hall and had a good family background. He was supposed to benefit the people and actually took the initiative to embrace corruption. This was something he could not accept for a while.
Following Gu You, Tang San also met many people from the Spirit Hall, and had some exchanges with them to some extent.
From the people in the Wuhun Hall of Notting City, to Andy who treated Gu You, to Xie Sen in the Poison Swamp when hunting the Jade Pearl Beast, to the people who fought desperately against Klein outside the Dark Land, and Nightingale who took care of them (?) for a long time. From these people with different personalities, Tang San could feel a common trait, that is, their recognition of their own identity.
Protecting civilians, guarding everyone, and fighting against evil. These requirements that the Spirit Hall has never publicized to the outside world are fully reflected in their pretentious actions.
Perhaps their actions were not consistent with their thoughts. But saints judge by deeds, not by heart, and there are no saints in the world. Their persistence day after day made Tang San, who thought he could not do it, admire them.
But now, suddenly there comes a man who behaves just like Matthew Nosu Yuntao, but he is a fallen man. He helps others awaken their martial spirits only to use their lives to pave the way for himself.
The key point is that for such a long time, no one discovered this matter, which eventually led to the innocent deaths of people in thirteen villages.
In an instant, a huge crack appeared in the glorious image of Spirit Hall in Tang San's mind, which made him a little unacceptable.
Telling Gu You about his doubts, Tang San, who was immersed in depression, did not notice the strange expression on Gu You's face, which he tried hard to hide but was extremely obvious.
"Wow~ How can I say this?"
Gu You shouted in his heart, Tang San's questions were very sharp, and Gu You didn't know where to start for a moment.
What is this? I wonder if the puberty I had in my previous life has finally come late?
But it is also a good thing. At least he has put aside the Tang Sect principles he learned in the first thirty years of his time travel and started to have independent thinking.
It's a good thing to be able to think independently. It's better than being confused and just believing what others say.
However, the first question asked was about "justice", which was of extremely high difficulty level. How could Gu You answer it?
Tang San’s doubts were simple. He began to doubt the “correctness” of the Spirit Hall and whether it represented “justice”.
In the Spirit Hall, which represents justice, there actually appeared an unforgivable fallen person. In Tang San's heart, it was like dropping a drop of ink on a piece of pure white cloth, small but conspicuous.
These things seemed small to Gu You, but they were very big to Tang San, who was not as knowledgeable as Gu You.
The pursuit of "justice" has always existed in Tang San's heart. But the problem is that Tang San's "justice" in the original novel is completely different from the "justice" of most people.
For Tang San in the original novel, he has only one justice, that is the Tang Sect in his heart. Since the Tang Sect is just and kind, then those who are enemies of the Tang Sect are evil. And he is the only Tang Sect disciple in Douluo Continent, which means that everything he does is justice, and those who are enemies of him are evil.
But with Tang San today, the mark of the Tang Sect has long faded, and without the side of absolute justice, the definition of evil will also be relatively vague.
In Tang San's opinion, Spirit Hall, as an organization fighting against the Fallen, is certainly just. But this time justice has been tainted, is it still justice?
If he can't get out of it, this drop of "ink" will become more and more dazzling in Tang San's eyes, and may even affect his view of the Spirit Hall.
Good and evil are difficult to define, and everyone's definition of good and evil is different. Even the same person will have different feelings at different times and from different perspectives.
Gu You could choose to tell Tang San his views directly. He believed that with his relationship with Tang San, he would definitely make Tang San abide by his modern view of good and evil.
Or he could simply pua Tang San and make him obey his orders. As long as he didn't have any problems, it meant that Tang San's direction would not be wrong.
However, if this is done, what is the difference between Gu You, Yu Xiaogang and Tang Hao?
Because Bibi Dong hurt his heart, she didn't let Tang San go to the Wuhun Temple Academy, the first advanced spirit master academy on the continent, where he should have gone, and also "taught" Tang San Yu Xiaogang how to discriminate against ordinary people.
He is decadent but not completely decadent. When he saw Tang San's twin spirits, he was full of energy and wanted to overthrow the Spirit Hall. He wanted to be ambitious but drank low-quality wine every day to forge iron. Before Tang San's twin spirits, he was an alcoholic blacksmith. Tang Hao, who obviously has power, evades problems and turns a blind eye to problems, "teaches" Tang San.
Tang San is like a mirror, and every one of his actions can be found in the reflections of these two people.
Because of Yu Xiaogang, Tang San destroyed the Wuhun Hall, which had the potential to unify the continent and reduce the internal friction of spirit masters. However, he did not use his own great power to unify the continent, so the continent has not been unified for 10,000 years.
Without the free awakening of the Spirit Hall year after year, Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek could only negotiate with the Sun-Moon Empire which had invaded them when they had an absolute advantage in high-end combat power.
In the end, it was the Sun and Moon Empire that won.
Because Tang Hao, knowing that the Douluo Continent was devastated by the evil spirit masters, never intervened and just ran around to make cameo appearances. The proud sword of judgment of the Shura God had never cut off the head of any evil spirit master.
If the person reflected in Tang San's mirror is Gu You, then it's definitely better than the version with Poseidon.
But Gu You doesn't want to and won't do that. He wants Tang San to figure out for himself what "justice" and "rightness" are.
This is a good opportunity.
"Xiao San, look up."
Tang San raised his head, and the starry night sky reflected in his pupils.
"It's beautiful, isn't it, Xiaosan?" Gu You also raised his head and admired its beauty. Even though he had traveled here for thirteen years, he was still intoxicated by this starry sky.
"Look, there are so many bright stars in the sky. Do you think the sky is mostly black or white?"
"It should be black..." Tang San hesitated a little, but still gave his answer.
Gu You chuckled and said, "That's right. Even though there are countless shining stars above our heads, black is still the main theme of this sky."
"The same is true for the Spirit Hall. If you compare the Spirit Hall to the night sky, the stars are the termites inside. The Spirit Hall is so big, there must be all kinds of scum inside."
"You don't have to choose to become a Fallen like Chang Wei. People who embezzle the allowances of spirit masters, those who are willing to help civilians awaken their spirits for an additional fee, and those who use the identity of the Spirit Hall to seize other people's property, even if these people are not Fallen, how can their actions be called "justice"?"
For an organization, especially one with a long history and a large size, no matter how good and noble its original intention is, it is normal for a few parasites to emerge over time.
But Gu You couldn't just say, "Xiao San, don't be afraid. The current boss of the Spirit Hall is not a good person. He was chosen by the god who might be worshipped by the Fallen to be his successor. To succeed, he must eat humans. If he doesn't eat humans, he won't be favored.
She is also the enemy of our sister Xiao Wu. The soul ring of her mother that Xiao Wu wants to resurrect is in her.
She has a lot of people now, and the three of us brothers and sisters are alone. We can't beat the big ones, so let's just put up with her for now and let her grow. When she grows up, we'll flip her desk, hang her up with the blue silver grass, and beat her with the blue silver grass dipped in chili water.
What? You ask how to lift it?
This is not difficult. See, we have such a large six-winged angel spirit in our hands. The Spirit Hall is the orthodox in Tiandou, why don't they open the gates and surrender with courtesy? Are they planning a rebellion? "
Can you say such a thing? Of course not.
"Xiao San, as a master of herbal medicine, what would you do if the plants were eaten by pests?"
"What to do? Of course, we should use deworming treatment..."
"Yes."
Gu You nodded, "If a person is sick, they need to be treated. If a plant is sick, they also need to be treated. If the Spirit Hall is sick, of course someone needs to treat it."
"I don't know whether Spirit Hall represents justice." Noticing Tang San's expression, Gu You raised his hands in surrender, "Don't look at me like that, I really don't know."
"I'm not from the Spirit Hall. As an outsider, I can't see the full picture of the Spirit Hall's problems, so I can't give you an answer."
“Perhaps the Spirit Hall is sick, or perhaps there are all kinds of problems inside. But Grandpa Mashunuo, Brother Tao, Sister Sisi, Brother Xie Sen, Master Zhu Feng, Lord Luo Chen and others, the ‘justice’ of the Spirit Hall they represent is still there.”
"As long as people like them are still around, Spirit Hall is not hopeless. It just lacks a skilled 'doctor' to help it heal its illness."
"If you choose to go in and take a look yourself, whether you ultimately choose to cure it or kill it, I will support you."
"as always."
Tang San smiled and did not answer. He just raised his head silently. The sound of burning firewood reached his ears, and the bright moon surrounded by stars was reflected in his pupils.
Gu You didn't say anything else. He also raised his head and enjoyed the moment of peace.
