When Su Yuheng heard Chu Xiu's plan, she was a little confused at first; but when she fully understood, her whole face turned dark.
"Asshole, what do you mean?" Su Yuheng was extremely angry. Who is this person? He actually wants to take advantage of her bad luck to find someone!
Chu Xiu's expression remained normal and he said calmly: "After you find my senior brother, the money you owe me will be written off."
"What money do I owe you?" Su Yuheng glared, and after saying that, he felt guilty.
Chu Xiu's eyes narrowed slightly, with a faint hint of danger.
"Okay, deal." Su Yuheng changed his mind very readily and agreed to Chu Xiu.
Chu Xiu was speechless for a moment. This woman looked like a saint when she didn't speak. But when she spoke, she looked like a leftover woman.
"In which direction do you think my senior brother will be?" Chu Xiu asked, shaking his head.
"How do I know?" Su Yuheng replied subconsciously, and then changed his words, "I guess it's in the west."
"The west side...it seems to be the east side." Chu Xiu whispered.
Su Yuheng's face twitched slightly and he felt a little unhappy. He hummed softly: "I need to remind you about something. This girl's luck is not always bad."
Chu Xiu was startled, looked at Su Yuheng, and nodded, "That's true. The fact that you can grow up like this, be able to become the senior sister of Tianzong, and be able to become the woman in my yard are all manifestations of extreme luck."
Su Yuheng: "???"
"What are your special views on your luck?" Chu Xiu looked at Su Yuheng, "Is there a special time when you have always had bad luck?"
Su Yuheng gritted his teeth and said, "Are you mocking me?"
Chu Xiu shook his head and said seriously: "I am doing research. To tell you the truth, I must find Senior Brother within three months, otherwise the situation at Suzaku Academy will be critical."
Su Yuheng was startled and stared at Chu Xiu, trying to discern whether this was true or false.
"You may not know that people from other worlds are about to invade our world. The only one who can really turn the tide will be my senior brother." Chu Xiu said seriously.
Su Yuheng calmed down and said hesitantly: "I enter the gambling house every day and never win the first game."
"First round?" Chu Xiu was startled.
Su Yuheng sighed: "Actually, I also want to know the pattern of my bad luck. I have been gambling in gambling houses, not all because I like gambling.
It's because I know that after gambling in a gambling house, my bad luck will be reflected in losing money, and my luck in other aspects may not be too bad.
Just like after I came to Chang'an City, I kept losing money in the gambling house, but after meeting you, I helped Tianzong find the Jade Law of Taiqing, and also learned how to transform the three pure states with one breath. "
"Is that so?" Chu Xiu touched his chin. Speaking of which, if we ignore this woman's gambling luck, this woman's luck is indeed not too bad.
After all, this woman can help Tianzong find the Taiqing Jade Rule, a treasure that has been lost for thousands of years. Is this something that someone with bad luck can do?
"You haven't started gambling today, have you?" Chu Xiu looked at Su Yuheng.
Su Yuheng blinked and said, "I just guessed that your senior brother is in the west. If it doesn't count, then you didn't bet."
"Forget it." Chu Xiu said.
Su Yuheng curled his lips.
Chu Xiu called Duoya Cailin and said, "I'll give you a task. Bet with her for a thousand rounds."
"Ah?" Duoya Cailin was a little confused.
Chu Xiu said warmly: "If you win, it's yours, if you lose, it's mine."
"Oh." Duoya Cailin's eyes lit up.
Su Yuheng said in a low voice: "I have no money."
"I'll lend it to you." Chu Xiu looked at Su Yuheng with a smile, "I'll lend you ten thousand taels, and you can bet ten taels in a round."
"Ten thousand taels..." Su Yuheng's eyes lit up, thinking that after gambling a thousand games with Duoya Cailin, there was no way that he would not have even one tael of silver left.
After all, no matter how bad your luck is, you won't lose a thousand games in a row.
"By the way, you write another deed of betrayal. If you can't return me thirteen thousand taels before midnight tonight, then sell yourself to me for another year." Chu Xiu added.
Su Yuheng: "???"
"That's the decision I made happily." Chu Xiu said leisurely and walked away.
"Asshole." Su Yuheng gritted his teeth, his beautiful cheeks turned blue and red, and deep in his heart, there was still a hint of shyness that was not easy to detect.
Duoya Cailin glanced at Su Yuheng and asked in a low voice: "Is he still plotting against you?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Su Yuheng blushed. In fact, she had the same idea in her heart.
Duoya Cailin murmured: "This guy is good at everything, but he's just too... too different."
"..."
Chu Xiu's hearing ability was no longer what it used to be. He could not detect any disturbance in the entire back mountain except for the small courtyards of a few senior brothers and sisters. In other places, he could not detect any disturbance.
Naturally, all the chatter in his small courtyard reached his ears.
This made him feel inexplicably unhappy.
Who do these two women take the dignified Mr. Thirteen to be?
"However, the mature charm of that woman is indeed quite attractive." Chu Xiu thought silently.
Su Yuheng was obviously not a young woman, but her temperament was more mature and charming than many young women, and she also had a somewhat unworldly temperament.
Arriving at the lakeside at the top of Houshan Mountain, the Fourth Master Wang Quan, the Sixth Master Liu Qian, and the Eighth Master Qi Yi were all here.
Qi Yi is making a compass, while Wang Quan and Liu Qian are fishing.
Compared to the calm situation of Wang Quan, Liu Qian's fishing rod would be raised from time to time, and there were already more than ten fish in the fish basket beside him.
When Chu Xiu came here, he lit a fire directly on the ground. With a slight movement of his right hand, wisps of true energy flowed like threads around the fish in the fish basket.
The lively and jumping fish came to the top of the fire as if they were flying in the sky, making bursts of chirping sounds.
This attracted Wang Quan, Liu Qian, and Qi Yi to look sideways.
"Junior brother, you are too cruel." Mr. Ninth Master Yun Ran'er's voice sounded softly from the top of the mountain and by the lake.
Chu Xiu blinked and muttered: "Isn't it like this for everyone who eats fish?"
Yun Ran'er said: "You can just shoot it to death and then grill it."
Chu Xiu tilted his head slightly and asked: "Senior Sister Ninth, do you think the fish want to be beaten to death by me first, and then grilled and eaten; or do they want me to burn them to death directly, and then be eaten by me?"
"..."
Yun Ran'er was speechless.
Obviously, the fish do not want to be beaten to death, nor do they want to be burned to death.
"If I burn them to death, it's too cruel, then the fourth and sixth senior brothers who caught them are the culprits." Chu Xiu hummed, "As for the ninth senior sister, you naturally eat fish. Since you eat fish, Why should we pity the way the fish died?"
An unfolded picture scroll came from the sky. Mr. Jiu Yun Ran'er stood on the picture scroll and came to the top of the mountain and the lakeside.
At the same time, the fifth Mr. Yu Yingxue, the eleventh Mr. Yan Shiyi, and the twelfth Mr. Tang Jiabao also flew over.
"Junior brother, are you going to teach us how to do things?" Yu Yingxue sat cross-legged on a futon, with a guqin on her knees.
The other gentlemen in the back mountain also looked at Chu Xiu.
"I'm the latest to get started, it's your turn to teach me how to do things." Chu Xiu sighed, "I just want to discuss with you the thoughts of good and evil."
"The thoughts of good and evil..." Mr. Jiu Yun Ran'er said softly, "We might as well ask Senior Sister Yaoyao to come out and discuss it together. She is a descendant of a medical family and has a deeper understanding of the thoughts of good and evil."
"Senior Sister Seventh..." Chu Xiu was startled, then nodded, "I'll give it a try."
After saying that, he concentrated on the ancestral aperture, and the spirit of the ancestral aperture instantly appeared in the inner space.
Pei Yiren, who was bathing in the golden sea water, and Duanmu Yaoyao, who was reading the medical scriptures, both looked at Chu Xiu.
Chu Xiu blinked, glanced at Pei Yiren three more times, and then looked at Duanmu Yaoyao, "Several senior brothers and sisters are discussing Taoism, good and evil. Senior Sister Ninth would like to invite you out to discuss Taoism together."
"Can I go out?" Duanmu Yaoyao raised her eyebrows lightly.
Chu Xiu said warmly: "Under the cover of my spiritual light, you can stay in the outside world for a while."
"Then you didn't tell me earlier?" Duanmu Yaoyao glared.
Chu Xiu looked innocent, "You should already know how powerful my spirit is?"
Duanmu Yaoyao hummed softly, and with a thought, her spiritual body appeared in Chu Xiu's ancestral orifice in an instant. The next moment, she emerged from Chu Xiu's eyebrows, and the true spiritual body wearing a golden skirt appeared on the bank of the back mountain lake.
"Yaoyao."
"Seventh Senior Sister."
All the gentlemen in the back mountain shouted in surprise.
Duanmu Yaoyao also had a happy smile on her face when she saw the familiar senior brothers, senior sisters, junior sisters, and junior brothers.
internal space.
Chu Xiu looked at Pei Yiren and said hesitantly: "This is a gathering of our back mountain disciples. I can let you listen, but you can't speak."
"Even if you speak, it won't spread." Chu Xiu added.
Pei Yiren's eyes lit up and he nodded.
Chu Xiu's mind returned to his original state and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Duanmu Yaoyao smiling.
In fact, keeping the seventh senior sister Duanmu Yaoyao in his body always made him feel strange in his heart, as if he had the seventh senior sister imprisoned.
Especially when something happened between their spiritual bodies that went beyond the friendship between senior sister and junior brother, the strange feeling was particularly strong.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Duanmu Yaoyao asked about the discussion. Hearing that it was caused by his junior brother Chu Xiu, he grilled fish alive and could not help but give Chu Xiu a sideways look.
Chu Xiu's expression was as usual, "Looking at the Seventh Senior Sister, she seems to be speechless. Then Seventh Senior Sister, tell me, to the fish, which is the fourth and sixth senior brothers who caught them the most hateful, or who is the one who burned them alive the most?" Hateful, or is it the Ninth Senior Sister who wants to eat them but pities the way they die that is the most hateful?"
Wang Quan, Liu Qian, and Yun Raner couldn't help but straighten their chests and thought silently at the same time.
Duanmu Yaoyao frowned slightly. After thinking seriously for a while, the frown on her eyebrows became tighter and tighter.
For fish, whether they are fishermen, barbecuers, or meat eaters, they all seem to be hateful and cruel.
One takes the trap, one holds the knife, and the other swallows the corpse...
"Can't answer?" Chu Xiu looked at the seventh senior sister Duanmu Yaoyao with a smile.
Duanmu Yaoyao's pretty face turned a little dark. She was too familiar with Chu Xiu, so she didn't have any scruples about Chu Xiu. She glared when she needed to glare and turned dark when she needed to.
"For the fish, junior brother, you are the one who makes them most desperate." Mr. Eighth Qi Yi said softly.
"What if the fish can understand the words of the Ninth Senior Sister?" Chu Xiu looked at the Eighth Senior Brother Qi Yi and said with a smile, "Do you think it is the fish who hate me the most, or the Ninth Senior Sister the most?"
"This..." Qi Yi hesitated for a moment and understood the implication of this junior brother's words.
Yun Ran'er frowned and hummed, "Are you saying that I'm making sarcastic remarks?"
Chu Xiu shook his head quickly, "Senior Sister Ninth, you are obviously very kind. I grilled the fish on purpose. You are the first to speak, which is enough to explain everything."
Yun Ran'er's face softened.
"However, as soon as Ninth Senior Sister opens your mouth, you are involved in this matter." Chu Xiu Youyou said, "If these fish can take revenge, they will definitely ask Ninth Senior Sister to settle the matter with you."
Yun Ran'er frowned, "What do you want from me? I didn't eat them this time?"
"You also said it was this time." Chu Xiu smiled.
Yun Ran'er was speechless for a moment.
She is not a vegetarian and has eaten quite a lot of fish.
"Junior brother, what do you want to explain?" Tang Jiabao couldn't help but ask.
The rest of the people looked at Chu Xiu.
"I don't want to explain anything." Chu Xiu said softly, "I was just thinking that to the powerful people in other worlds, the creatures in our world may be the fish in front of them.
What I say next is not meant to offend Ninth Senior Sister at all. I just want to say that we may be able to distinguish between enemies who seduce and torment us, but we cannot distinguish between enemies who pity us but plunder us at the same time. "
"..."
Everyone was silent.
They knew that this junior brother was telling them something that might happen in the future.
"Is my pity wrong?" Yun Ran'er was a little confused.
Qi Yi said softly: "Your compassion is not wrong, you are wrong in your position."
"Standing point?" Yun Ran'er was startled.
Qi Yi said: "You are a human and you eat fish. As far as fish are concerned, you are a born enemy."
Yun Ran'er frowned, still unable to figure it out for the moment.
Qi Yi continued: "Your pity is aimed at the cruelty of the younger brother, but actually it has nothing to do with the fish. You will stop the younger brother from torturing the fish, but you will not stop the fourth and sixth brothers from fishing, nor will you Stop the little junior brother from killing the fish, and even in the end, you may take a bite of the fish.
Junior brother probably wants to tell us that there may be some people in foreign lands who want some resources from our world, and may even want our flesh and blood; but these people may not come forward directly, and they may also The creatures in our world have compassion, but their thoughts of plundering resources will not change. "
"That's more or less what it means." Chu Xiu said. In fact, he didn't think so much at first. He only thought that the jumping fish would be cooked more evenly when grilled.
When he lived at Yuding Temple in Shuzhou, there was a lake in front of the Taoist temple. He often ate fish and knew how to make the most delicious fish.
As for whether this would be too cruel to the fish... At first, when he grilled live fish for the first time, he did feel that it was too cruel, but after eating the fish, he felt that... it was really delicious!
"Being cruel to fish..."
Chu Xiu looked at the fish in front of him that were already charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and suddenly said, "I'm a little envious of Huitong."
Everyone was startled and immediately reacted.
Huitong is a monk, and as a monk is a vegetarian, he will naturally not encounter the problem of whom the fish hates.
"Didn't you say before that all things have spirits?" Duanmu Yaoyao hummed, "Monks are vegetarians, and vegetarian dishes also have spirits. If vegetarian dishes are conscious, they will definitely feel pain."
"That's true." Chu Xiu smiled and nodded, "So, the so-called good and evil are usually relative."
"Goodness may be relative." Yun Ran'er muttered, "Some evil is absolute."
"For example?" Chu Xiu asked.
Yun Ran'er said calmly: "Rape, robbery, murder, and arson."
"Let's not mention adultery for now."
Chu Xiu pondered, "If the killing is for revenge, what should we say?"
