Chapter 225 Take care of her or harm her?(1/2)
Hong San announced the result of the duel, and the square was not only silent, but also very quiet. Who dared to speak arrogantly when the dean spoke? Not only the Taoist students, but also the wealthy family heads and followers who were lucky enough to watch at close range, and even ordinary people outside the Taoist temple were very excited.
good.
In fact, ordinary people are more cautious than students.
After all, the fear of monks is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it has almost become the nature of the people of Middle-earth to fear monks.
As a result, some people cheered...how brave this must be!
As a result, the cheerers quickly became the only focus of the scene.
Shangguan Yun turned pale with fright.
The granddaughter's sudden voice attracted the attention of the whole audience. People from other families didn't care. The "quasi-monks" of the Taoist temple, as well as Dean Hong San and one of the four elders, Ma Zhenren, all looked at her.
It’s so scary!
Ma Chengfeng, in particular, seemed expressionless, but who was Shangguan Yun? He was well-informed and sophisticated, and he could clearly see Ma Chengfeng's hidden anger.
Shangguan Yun naturally thought of the so-called "praising and killing".
Under normal circumstances, Hong San's evaluation of Gu Wuyou is indeed flattering. He said that Gu Wuyou's future is limitless. What do other monks think?
However, when a person's status reaches a high enough level, his words and deeds can almost be regarded as axioms. Hong San is almost like this. His high evaluation of Gu Wuyou will never have the effect of flattering him.
Therefore, Ma Chengfeng's internal slander is just a kind of helpless self-deception.
Shangguan Yun understood this truth, so he also understood that his granddaughter Shangguan Yi's cheering must have offended Ma Chengfeng.
Gu Wuyou is a monk and can provoke Ma Chengfeng - although he is also suspected of seeking death.
The Shangguan family is just a wealthy family, you really can’t afford to mess with it!
At this moment, Shangguan Yun's intestines were filled with regret. If he had known this, why would he bring his granddaughter here? Even if he brought Guan Rui, that stupid young man, he would be better than now. He felt that he was blinded by eating lard.
He thought that it was right to let his granddaughter see the world, but he ignored that his granddaughter was too brainwashed by him.
But with so many people staring at him, he didn't dare to move.
When everyone saw it, Shangguan Yi immediately realized that he was impulsive.
But...Gu Wuyou is indeed good enough!
In the previous duel, the speed of both sides was too fast. To be honest, Shangguan Yi could not see clearly. Gu Wuyou was knocked away by Ma Chengfeng, and Shangguan Yi immediately panicked. However, the Taoist Academy did not allow everyone to leave, so Shangguan Yi could only
Pray silently.
Fortunately, Gu Wuyou was rescued.
Although the guy was lying on Ying Ying's lap and had no intention of leaving even when he woke up, it made Shangguan Yi very unhappy...
Of course Shangguan Yi was happy when Hong San praised Gu Wuyou.
For Shangguan Yi, there is almost no difference between praising Gu Wuyou and praising her. This is a characteristic of Middle-earth or the times - women are proud of the achievements of their husbands or sons. Shangguan Yi was brainwashed by her grandfather since she was a child, and she has long considered Gu Wuyou
As her future husband, all the glory that Gu Wuyou has received belongs to her.
Even so, Shangguan Yi would still not cheer.
At that time, I was confused and screamed. After thinking about it, it seemed to be related to the so-called other personality.
But...hasn't he already been cured?
Of course Shangguan Yi didn't know that Yuqing once said that Soul Leaving Syndrome cannot be cured. At that time, Yuqing treated Shangguan Yi, but in fact it still treated the symptoms but not the root cause, and could only suppress it for a while.
The reason is simple.
What is the essence of the so-called second personality?
It didn't appear out of thin air, nor was it possessed by something. It was another version of Shangguan Yi, and it was also part of Shangguan Yi's nature.
We can even speculate that everyone has more than one personality, and everything will be normal without being exposed to stimulation. In other words, Shangguan Yi's second personality has already existed, and it was not born after a stress reaction.
How can human nature be completely eliminated?
At most it's just suppression.
Of course, this does not mean that Soul Leaving Syndrome cannot be completely cured. It is just that Yuqing does not have enough understanding of its essence and cannot do it.
Shangguan Yi, who returned to normal immediately after shouting, was also very uneasy at the moment.
Hong San suddenly laughed: "Little girl, don't be nervous. There's nothing wrong with being happy for Gu Wuyou. Come on, tell me, what's your relationship with him?"
He is my fiancé! Shangguan Yi shouted in her heart.
However, no matter how courageous she was, she couldn't speak out in front of so many people.
"Lord Qi, our families are family friends." Shangguan Yi saluted, "My grandfather and Gu Wuyou's grandfather grew up together."
Hong San: "Your grandfather is..."
"Master Dean, I'm Shangguan Yun, I'm here to guide you to the Taoist Academy." Shangguan Yun's voice was obviously trembling, "This kid doesn't understand the rules, please forgive me."
"Oh, she is your granddaughter?"
"yes."
Hong San chuckled: "Looking at the way she looks after Wuyou, I think she is more than just a family friend, right?"
Gu Wuyou, whose body has not yet recovered and is still unable to move, couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this. What can you, an expert monk, see? You are so arrogant... Hey, could it be that like Master Yuqing, Hong San also had a period of time that he couldn't bear to look back on?
past?
Shangguan Yun's heart moved.
"I dare not lie to the dean. The two of them do have an engagement. Gu Wuyou's grandfather, Gu Mantang, signed it with me."
This is a rare opportunity!
The girl said it was embarrassing, but the grandfather said it with confidence.
According to Shangguan Yun, monks attach great importance to keeping promises. So Gu Wuyou has been delaying and refusing to fulfill the engagement... Of course Hong San will not go to Shangguan's family.
Shangguan Yun is not an old fool yet.
The monks have their own circle, and they will not harm the peace for "mortals". Especially Hong Sanchong's style of Gu Wuyou is not too obvious. He will only stand up for the Shangguan family and force Gu Wuyou to do so when he is full and strong.
worry.
However, this engagement was not a bad thing from beginning to end.
Marriage with a wealthy family like the Shangguan family can only be beneficial to Gu Wuyou. If Hong San really takes care of him, based on the life experience of the dean, he will naturally facilitate this matter.
Even if it doesn't work, publicly stating the engagement on such an occasion and getting into the ears of the Taoist dean can also dispel the covetousness of other wealthy families.
Hong San frowned and said, "Gu Wuyou can't get married."
Huh? Shangguan Yun was stunned.
He predicted that Hong San would most likely be too lazy to take care of such mundane matters, but he never expected that Hong San would say such a thing.
As analyzed previously, Hong San's identity determines the weight of his words. If he talks like this, wouldn't the engagement be completely ruined?
Others are also confused.
Apart from himself, only Gu Wuyou and Ma Chengfeng understood what Hong San really meant. Of course, Chen Xuantong, who had not shown up but had been secretly paying attention, and the other three elders of the Taihao Sect also understood.
Taoist priests thousands of years ago usually prohibited getting married and having children.
Monks generally do not get married, but that is because they are not interested, which is completely different from being forbidden.
Not only was Gu Wuyou a Taoist priest, but he is still one.
"Senior is wrong." Gu Wuyou looked up to the sky and shouted, "I can get married."
Shangguan Yi's face was already ashen, but Gu Wuyou's words brought her back from despair, and some color returned to her face.
Gu Wuyou couldn't see the change in Shangguan Yi's expression, but he had experience.
When Yingying threatened Shangguan Rui to get Gu Wuyou to break off the engagement, Gu Wuyou was deeply impressed by the change in Shangguan Yi's expression.
Hong San was startled: "You mean...change the sect rules?"
Hey, this "old boy" really knows everything. He claims to be the spiritual successor of Hong Changkong and knows the Taoist era best. He is really not bragging.
"That's right." Gu Wuyou confirmed, "Of course this junior hasn't changed."
Hong San: "Why not change it?"
"Because this junior has no plans to get married."
Hong San smacked his lips: "You don't want to get married, and you don't want to cut off the girl's thoughts directly. Do you think this is taking care of her or harming her?"
Gu Wuyou: "..."
"Sir!" Shangguan Yi suddenly said, "Gu Wuyou has his own ideas, but this little girl has been betrothed to him since she was a child. I will never accept the dissolution of the engagement."
Even in China, where the Three Obediences and Four Virtues are not taught, these words were still a bit shocking to be spoken by a woman who had not yet left the government. However, Shangguan Yi's expression was exceptionally calm and determined, with no trace of shyness at all.
Hong San waved his hand: "You don't need to explain your determination to me. I have no control over this matter and I have no interest in it."
After all, he is the dean of a Taoist temple. Isn’t it boring to ask about other people’s marriages?
"Hypocritical." Ma Chengfeng suddenly sneered.
