Persuasion failed.
Although Liu Xiaojiang had guessed the old master's stubbornness long before he came to Longhu Mountain, he still had a glimmer of expectation in his heart. He hoped that the old master who "didn't care much about his face" would always stick to his style in the next events.
However,
These old people who have experienced turbulence for several times also have the idea of focusing on the overall situation. They often despise... Or even give up everything about their own interests because of their position.
For the sake of the world and the world, the old man can give up his life without hesitation, as well as the power and status he desperately desires in the eyes of others.
And the old master
For the sake of the disciples of the sect and the whole Zhengyi Heavenly Master Tao, under the condition of clearly not feeling that Liu Xiaojiang was wrong, he chose to die to prove the innocence of Longhu Mountain to the world, and did not intend to leave a handle on anyone because of Liu Xiaojiang in the future.
In the face of the responsibilities entrusted by their own identity, they both choose to give up all their private desires without hesitation, even if they die... As long as they can fully fulfill their responsibilities.
Sure enough, I failed
Liu Xiaojiang stood at the foot of Longhu Mountain and looked back at the Taoist temple submerged in the forest. There was still some disappointment in his eyes.
The people on your side are really different
Although Gabriel had never bothered before, he obviously had been watching everything about Liu Xiaojiang in the interior. Now he saw that someone had made the same choice as the old man. After all, he couldn't help but open his mouth and expressed his heartfelt admiration for all this.
In her heyday, she was also one of the gods in the West. Even now she has become the so-called "Old God", her position in the Western alien circle is still extremely noble. At ordinary times, she does not have the opportunity to contact high-level people among ordinary people in the West.
After all, she is different from the former king of Nathan island. She is a noble angel who has firmly chosen to continue to protect mankind, so she has inevitably become one of the cards in the hands of those high-level officials.
However, no matter how many years have passed, human beings have basically not changed in Gabriel's eyes. They are still a group of people who are serious and capable, but are always willing to be stupid for money, power and other things.
Originally, it should be like this
This is an objective evaluation of Gabriel's contact with mankind and those high-level human beings as a guardian for many years, because she has never seen who among those guys in the West will make such selfless choices in the face of "disaster" like these two old people.
There are good people and bad people on either side
It's not that she has never seen the same good people as these two old people, but they are all among the people in the market, and they don't have a high position in their respective circles like these two old people.
Those high-level people who have been in contact with themselves for many times usually look like dogs, but none of them are willing to stand up in front of major events. Like these two old people, they never consider themselves... Only consider their own responsibilities.
Each one has its own benefits, but its responsibilities and obligations have nothing to do with itself. It is entirely to use power for its own benefit, but not to fulfill the responsibilities that should be fulfilled in a high position.
Moreover, even if there are characters similar to the two elders occasionally, they often can't sit in the position with power for a long time, which is a little worse... In the end, they can't even save their lives!
The longer Gabriel stays here now, the more he feels that the environment he used to be may have gone the wrong way for a long time, so that now... Those morbidities that should only exist in the dark are gradually reflected in those decent people.
"The road is taken by people, and people... Are easy to go the wrong way." Hearing Gabriel's voice, Liu Xiaojiang took back his sight of the back mountain, turned and continued to walk down the mountain.
"The choices made by most people are always better than the insistence of a few people, because even if they are verified to be wrong in the end, no one will feel that others have harmed themselves. On the contrary,... They are more willing to calm down and recall where they were wrong."
[ha? What era is it now? Are you blaming the feudal monarchy like those ordinary people?] Gabriel is not interested in the human pursuit of rights, and his admiration just now is only with emotion, so it is inevitable to have some doubts about these words.
"I'm just saying..." Liu Xiaojiang shook his head.
"Human beings themselves are not so stupid. They all know what is right, but unfortunately... The truth is always in the hands of a few people. Most people prefer to look at what kind of food is on the plate in front of them when it is brought up."
"And..."
"For every dog butcher, this statement will not be out of date at any time, unless human beings themselves can not be regarded as an animal. After suffering, we are only relatively lucky. What really supports justice is not all at the bottom of the whole society."
"And the kind of environment you used to be in..."
"Although people don't die because of their birth, if the whole social environment is the same, most people agree with the ancestral bandit theory. There are so many heirs of bandits... How noble can you expect them to be as a whole."
[...] Gabriel.
"Humans are such creatures. It's not enough to be reasonable. You can't let them sit down and listen to you until you hurt them." Liu Xiaojiang walked through the scenic spot toll station in Qianshan, and in the surprised eyes of the conductor, he talked to himself and walked down.
[Oh, you said that your all-round leader didn't even pay for tickets to the scenic spot. Now you say these mysterious things, sometimes... I really don't know which is the real you, even if I exist in the place closest to your original heart.]
Gabriel looked at Liu Xiaojiang's strong outfit and calm. For fear that others would find him sneaking up, he couldn't help shaking his head at everything outside in the interior.
"Hum, save what you should spend and what you shouldn't spend. There's no reason why you have to pay for yourself when you enter the house." Seeing that he had not been stopped halfway down the mountain, Liu Xiaojiang finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little comfort for his savings of more than 100 yuan.
[Tut, people usually don't spend money to maintain scenic spots. Besides, it will certainly give Longhu Mountain many benefits. Otherwise, why do other Longhu Mountain disciples pay for it when they come back from the mountain.]
Gabriel immediately turned a blind eye to this. She obviously felt that Liu Xiaojiang was too humiliating. Fortunately, she didn't exist as an entity now, otherwise..... She really didn't want to go out with the stingy Liu Xiaojiang.
"They didn't give me the money." Liu Xiaojiang said bluntly, "if they give me a share of the money, of course I'm willing to pay for the ticket."
[don't you still have a lot of savings? These money can be regarded as rich in our country. What are you afraid of?] Gabriel is obviously very puzzled about Liu Xiaojiang's stinginess. He doesn't understand why he, a rich man, is not willing to pay for his ticket.
"Hum, what do you know? Money is saved. Besides, I only have a few money. If my life span is only a hundred years, it's enough for us to spend together, but after all, it's a long-term existence. What should I do after wasting my money?" Liu Xiaojiang will never let up on this.
"Although I like the fun of life in human society very much, I don't want to worry about daily necessities. Oh... Ying Gou, the disaster of the world, how many years later, I went to the port to carry big bags in order to make money. If I let people know, no matter how thick skinned I am, it won't work."
[then you are so stingy now that you won't let people laugh when you say it?] Gabriel wondered.
"Isn't there Shen Chong?" Liu Xiaojiang said naturally.
"He has been reimbursed for our recent consumption, so you know I'm not willing to waste money when you act alone. I have to say... Shen Chong does have means in making money. I'm going to ask him for a sum after everything is over."
"It's all my own people anyway. I'm polite to him... Don't you think so?"
[... You are so cheeky.] Gabriel got goose bumps when she heard these words, even if she didn't have an entity at all.
"Oh, when I 'earn' money and you all have money to spend in the future, you won't say that again."
[cut, I don't need to spend your money. Do you think I've been abroad for so many years and come all the way with human history...]
"How much money do you have?"
[any collection is enough for you to squander for decades, but my collection is tens of thousands, which may be considered small. After all, I like collecting valuable things very much. When those people came to me for business before, they generally followed my preference.]
[hmm? What's your expression? Why don't you talk?]
"Oh, dear Miss Gabriel, do you... Lack a son?"

Dong Dong Dong
"Elder martial brother, come in..."
Zhang Zhiwei heard the voice, pushed the door and walked into Tian Jinzhong's cabin, "you already know."
"Xiaojiang, ha ha... I guessed." Tian Jinzhong sat cross legged on the earth Kang in the room. Hearing this, he just smiled calmly. Then he nodded and motioned to Zhang Zhiwei who walked into the room to sit casually.
"Elder martial brother, don't you just support me because of Xiaojiang? I'm afraid I might insist on keeping him?"
"What do you think he came back suddenly for?" Zhang Zhiwei sat on a master's chair in the house, stared at Tian Jinzhong on the earth Kang and said:
"Not now. Even you, boy, have seen my decision..."
"Ha ha..." Tian Jinzhong shook his head with a smile and said, "what does elder martial brother mean by this?"
"Don't pretend to me there." Zhang Zhiwei saw Tian Jinzhong's face, a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, and immediately gritted his teeth and said:
"I was really negligent before..."
"But on second thought, since Xiaojiang can guess what I will do next, even if you have been in the mountain for so many years, you can't have no idea at all."
"After all, if you want to say who knows me best in the world at present, I'm afraid even the disciples inherited by me... Are far inferior to you."
"Elder martial brother, do you mean..." Tian Jinzhong stared at Zhang Zhiwei for a long time, then smiled and said slowly:
"Are you going to die alone for Xiaojiang and Longhu Mountain, and want to leave all the disciples on the mountain behind?"
"... you did notice." Zhang Zhiwei said without surprise.
"Yes..." Tian Jinzhong stopped pretending to be stupid this time and said bluntly: "when I saw Chu LAN and them in front of you, my attitude... It seems to me that I'm telling them something later, otherwise I can't think why you told them so much."
"After all, there is a ban on tianshidu. If you don't think you may not see Chu LAN and them in the future, I don't think you can risk exposing the ban on tianshidu. Even if it's obscure... You have to tell them all the truth from the side."
Wen Yan,
Zhang Zhiwei didn't care about his own problems, and didn't care why Tian Jinzhong knew Tianshi Du so well. Instead, he stared into his younger martial brother's eyes and asked:
"Aren't you... Going to stop me?"
"Did I stop it?" There was a flash of anger in Tian Jinzhong's eyes, but he tried to suppress his emotions and said:
"Elder martial brother, you are the Heavenly Master of our dragon and tiger mountain and the leader of our whole integrity. How can I refute Tian Jinzhong's decision..."
"Selfishness can exist, but it must not affect the overall situation. After all... You and I are not simply alone. You represent the Mountain Gate of Longhu Mountain and the human plaque we are working together. All decisions should focus on being one."
"So, based on this, I can't find any reason to stop you, and I know that... I can't stop you anyway."
"If you understand..." Zhang Zhiwei noticed Tian Jinzhong's efforts to hide his anger, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "If I don't die, what Xiaojiang did may be regarded as collusion. In the end, I will inevitably be charged with creating yinggou."
"What's more, people outside highly recommend me. Many people think I'm a top expert. I don't know that I'm just an ordinary person who has passed on, and no matter how talented ordinary people are... They are also weak in the face of the disaster created by 'self'."
"If I don't die..."
"I'm afraid some people will always feel that 'themselves' are not strong enough, fail to grasp the power that can be used to deny everything in the world, and never reflect on why Ying Gou's disaster happened."
"Therefore, for the sake of the gate of Longhu Mountain, I must stand in front of Xiaojiang, for my martial nephew... And the world who may still take chances, I must fall in front of everyone at the right time, so as to completely collapse the 'arrogance' in the hearts of the world."
"Hum, since it has already been decided, then come and ask me what to do. You are the Heavenly Master... Just do what you think is right. Apart from supporting the decision of the Heavenly Master, can we Zhengyi disciples be the first to stand up and refute the Heavenly Master?" Tian Jinzhong road.
"Jinzhong, you should also fulfill your responsibilities as an older generation and stand up to preside over the overall situation until the young people......"
"Alas, responsibility... Responsibility..."
