Chapter 138 Why is the clan called the ancestor?
Pei Jinge raised his eyebrows and asked, "Don't insist?"

"Persistence another day is also persistence."

Gu Zhuo's tone was very frank, without any hint of insistence, and he was very willing to follow advice.

Pei Jinge looked at him and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, saying with emotion: "My previous understanding of you was really too one-sided."

Gu Zhuo said: "It is difficult to get to know a person thoroughly."

Pei Jinge did not comment and suddenly changed the subject.

"I have never seen the Buddha's light you mentioned, and I am not sure whether the ghost you mentioned really exists. You should know the real reason why I agreed to conspire with you."

She looked at Gu Zhuo and said, "I need more sincerity from you."

This seems to be her real purpose.

Gu Zhuo didn't answer, turned around and walked out.

Pei Jinge followed him.

The night wind blows continuously, and the pine branches in the forest become tangled.

The starlight was able to fall and cape the two of them.

"I never asked you before..."

Gu Zhuo suddenly asked: "Why are you so interested in the Taoist master?"

Pei Jinge glanced at him and said, "Is this a question that must be answered?"

Gu Zhuo shook his head and said, "I'm just curious."

"There's nothing that can't be said."

Pei Jinge said calmly: "Since I started practicing at a young age, the name I have heard most is Dao Master. It is normal to be curious about this."

If today's practitioners are roughly divided into three generations, then the Taoist Master, the White Emperor and the Princess are undoubtedly the previous generation, followed by the Mesozoic era represented by her, Renjian Jiaoyang and the Southern School of Sword Dao, and then to today's younger generation.

Although this division is too general, it is roughly true.

Gu Zhuo said: "But now you are a great man standing at the highest position in the world, you should get rid of the enchantment."

Pei Jinge glanced at him, as if he found this sentence very strange, and said: "On the contrary, the higher I stand, the more I admire it."

Gu Zhuo was slightly startled when he heard this, and asked in confusion: "Why?"

"Why else?"

Pei Jinge just thought this question was boring and stupid, and said directly: "It is precisely because I have stood high enough that I know that every step forward is so difficult, and the Taoist master has taken more than one step forward in the immortal realm above Yuhua."

"If the Taoist master had succeeded in that year and finally walked through that unknown path of cultivation, the practitioners in the world would have seen a brand new world, and the end of that road might be eternal life, or perhaps ascension."

She said as a matter of course: "Such a feat and achievement cannot even be described by the words 'founding a school'. Only 'being the founder of a school' can describe it. Anyone who has a heart for the great Dao, how can they not admire the Dao Master?"

Gu Zhuo didn't think so, and said seriously: "I think this is just what a practitioner should do, nothing more."

"Just because you should do something doesn't mean you can do it, but he almost did it, which is naturally remarkable."

Pei Jinge's voice was equally serious.

In fact, there was one more thing she hadn't said - if the Taoist master had really succeeded in opening up that world a hundred years ago, practitioners a hundred or thousand years later might have called him the Taoist Ancestor.

The reason why Zen Buddhism stood on the side of the Qin Dynasty back then was vaguely related to this.

Gu Zhuo asked: "Do you believe he can do it in the end?"

Pei Jinge did not answer this question.

On that day a hundred years ago, she had witnessed with her own eyes the unrivaled elegance of the Taoist master when he was still alive. Since then, she has always believed in it and never doubted it.

However, the old friends are all dead.

By this point, the two had already walked out of the pine forest.

When walking out of the pine forest, Pei Jinge disappeared without a trace.

There was no longer peace on Mount Langya. The battle between Gu Zhuo and the three secret agents from the Secret Service completely shattered the seemingly peaceful night and brought about fire.

However, Master Xiu Hu was still in the wooden building at this time, and the people who came out with lanterns at this time were just the boys who took care of his daily life.

And Li Ruoyun, who recently joined Mount Langya.

This Li family member who suffered a huge setback during the summer festival because of Gu Zhuo did not become depressed and give up on himself. He was not much different from when he was in the Divine Capital. This shows how firm his Taoism was, or how paranoid he was.

Facing Gu Zhuo at this moment, he stood in front of everyone without hesitation, with a firm face and calm expression.

Just as he was about to speak, Xiu Hu Zhenren's voice rang out, with an undisguised tiredness in his voice.

"This is my guest."

"Ruoyun, come over here."

"The rest of you can go back."

After hearing these three sentences, the boys on the stone platform breathed a sigh of relief. They were no longer secretly trembling with tension. They saluted quickly and dispersed.

Li Ruoyun stopped where she was, looking at Gu Zhuo's face that she had never seen before, with a frown on her face.

For some reason, he always felt that the teacher's guest was strangely familiar, but he could not remember who it was.

It was not until Xiu Hu Zhenren's voice sounded again, with a hint of urging, that he withdrew his gaze, silently made a note of the matter, bowed, apologized and left.

……

……

Walking down the mountain, the night gradually deepened.

The scenery during the day has been buried, all in pitch black, and it is very dark and quiet.

In the darkness, Gu Zhuo's voice echoed with the mountain wind, without sobbing. The voice described the scenes that Xiu Hu Zhenren had seen before, such as the Buddha's light that seemed warm but carried a terrifying murderous intent, and that face.

Pei Jinge listened very carefully, interrupting from time to time to ask for details.

A quarter of an hour later, Gu Zhuo had said everything he needed to say.

Then he looked at Pei Jinge and said, "What are you going to do next?"

Pei Jinge glanced at him, not caring that he was being told the same thing, and said, "I will continue to investigate, because this is within my scope of responsibility, but don't expect any major progress in a short period of time."

Gu Zhuo thought about the ordinary Buddha light and the kind face without any special features, and knew that Pei Jinge did not refuse deliberately, but it was really the case.

The ghost had been on guard against being discovered from the very beginning, and had made many corresponding arrangements for this purpose. Judging from what happened to Master Xiu Hu, this person's realm would probably not be weaker than Pei Jinge's.

This is also a matter of course. If the realm is too shallow, how can he be a close friend of Taoist Yingxu?

At this moment, Gu Zhuo remembered something and asked, "Did Yu Sheng leave any message for me?"

Pei Jinge said calmly: "Just let me find you."

Gu Zhuo said: "That's good."

"What do you mean?"

Pei Jinge turned his head and looked at him.

Gu Zhuo smiled and said, "Because I don't plan to return to the capital for the time being, I will stay here for a long time. If she asks you to take me back, it will be somewhat difficult for you."

Pei Jinge frowned slightly, feeling that trouble was coming, and asked in a deep voice, "What are you going to do?"

Gu Zhuo's smile was very sincere, just like the tone of his voice at the moment.

"I just became the leader of the Tianming Sect today. I can't just turn around and leave. I want to be a hands-off boss. That will only make me be sidelined, and that doesn't suit my idea."

He said gently, "It's not in your interest at the same time."

Pei Jinge was quiet for a while and said, "Continue."

Gu Zhuo smiled and said, "There are four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasties, and many pavilions are in the mist and rain."

Pei Jinge frowned even more deeply when he heard this poem he had never heard before, and said, "So?"

"Because of some reasons in the past, I have never really liked monks. Besides not being very interested in Zen Buddhism, I also have a certain degree of prejudice against it."

Gu Zhuo paused and said, "Until now, I have not changed my opinion, but since the ghost is related to Zen Buddhism, and now I happen to be staying here to deal with the affairs of the Tianming Sect, I might as well pay a visit."

His words were a bit confusing, but the basic meaning was actually just one - to visit all 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties.

The ordinariness of the Buddha's light was just a disguise. In essence, it must be the secret of Zen Buddhism. However, he did not understand the Zen method and could not tell which temple it came from.

What's more, monks are quite accomplished in the methods of prolonging life. In a sense, they can be said to be the best, which will be of some inspiration to him.

There are many things in this life, and they are troublesome and keep coming one after another, but it doesn’t mean that Gu Zhuo will forget the most important thing.

Being alive is the most important thing in his life.

Five years to go.

Thinking about this unchanging fact, Gu Zhuo's mood became a little bad, and he became more determined.

Pei Jinge looked at him and said, "In what capacity?"

The leader of the Tianming Sect is an evil heretic and anyone can kill him.

If you hide your identity... then why would the Zen monks pay attention to you? Is it because you are willing to donate money for incense?

How can money buy the untrue Zen scriptures?

"My own identity, of course."

Gu Zhuo said as a matter of course: "The Zen sect should at least give some face to my non-existent master and my real senior sister."

Pei Jinge was stunned when he heard this, then realized that it was indeed the fact and was speechless.

Then, she thought of a very troublesome question and asked directly: "Are you planning to travel the world with two identities at the same time?"

Gu Zhuo smiled and nodded.

Pei Jinge couldn't laugh. She looked into his eyes expressionlessly and said, "Do you think everyone in the world is an idiot?"

As time goes by, there will inevitably be smart people in the world who will catch some clues and begin to doubt the true identity of the leader of the Tianming Sect.

This is not a secret that can be covered up by just a piece of flowing water.

Even if we don't mention this matter, if it is exposed to the light of day, it will cause an uproar in the world, which will also make the ghost more cautious.

Gu Zhuo shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it that way."

Pei Jinge looked into his eyes and asked in a slightly cold voice: "So what do you think?"

"My idea is simple."

Gu Zhuo smiled, bowed to her, and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Pei Jinge was silent for a long time.

She once again felt a strong sense of regret, but she didn't show it. She asked with a half-smile, "I'm curious about how you plan to make me suffer?"

Gu Zhuo looked at her and said, "When necessary, please handle the affairs of the Tianming Sect for me."

Hearing this, Pei Jinge really laughed.

She thought this was ridiculous and asked angrily, "Do you want me to become the leader of the Tianming Sect in your place?"

Gu Zhuo said without thinking: "Yes."

　I did write the second chapter yesterday, which is the previous chapter, and there will be a second chapter today, but I won’t mention it until later.
