Quick Transmigration: The Little Essence of a Sick Big Guy

"If she asks me for help, will I be able to save her?" Zuo Le asked with a half-smile.

Gu Zhi didn't expect the younger brother to ask such a question, he choked for a moment, and emphasized: "She is very pitiful."

A person in such a miserable state asks for help in front of outsiders.

Even a hard-hearted person would probably help, right?

Zuo Le leaned against the window, folded his arms around his chest, and said calmly: "There are so many poor people in this world. I'm not the living Guanyin who saves the suffering - if they ask for help, I will be saved?"

Gu Zhi was very astonished, the younger brother's thinking was really different from ordinary people.

He asked very puzzled: "But people have already asked you, so you are indifferent?"

Zuo Le felt a little impatient in his heart, frowned slightly and said, "So what if I feel compassionate, what does it have to do with whether I want to save her or not?"

Gu Zhi was even more astonished.

In his heart, he thought that the little junior brother was really interesting.

But on the surface, he still said righteously: "Saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. What's more, we are Tianhua Mountain disciples, and eliminating demons and defending Taoism is what we should do."

Zuo Le tilted his head slightly, and asked with a fake smile: "Then why does Tianhua Mountain want to eliminate demons and defend the Tao?"

It's an interesting question to ask.

A playful look flashed in Gu Zhi's eyes.

He asked back of course: "Isn't this what we should do to get rid of evil spirits, defend the righteous way, and let the people live a good life?"

Zuo Le smiled sarcastically: "Do you want the common people to live a good life, or let yourself live a good life?"

Gu Zhi was stunned, his expression became complicated.

On the surface, he didn't seem to understand the meaning of the younger brother's words, but in his heart he felt that the younger brother was extremely interesting.

"Is it true that people in the world save others to help others?" Zuo Le said with a smile.

"You are willing to save people today because you think that when you encounter difficulties in the future, the people around you will also help you."

"You hope that when your relatives and friends encounter difficulties, there will be kind people around to help them."

"However, how can you be sure that the person you saved won't cause you harm?"

"If you knew that person would hinder you in the future, would you still save him?"

Gu Zhi was stunned on the spot as if he had received a slap in the face.

He naturally had the answer in his heart.

But it is inconvenient to say it.

After all, he is a righteous person.

Zuo Le stared at the man, and jokingly said, "Brother, are you hesitating?"

Gu Zhi's face was stiff, and he didn't answer for a long time.

Zuo Le admired the man's expression, and said with a smirk, "So people in the world save others, it sounds nice on the surface, but it's actually for selfishness."

"After all, human nature is hypocritical."

"I would like to call those so-called charitable activities hypocrisy."

The last sentence speaks volumes.

Gu Zhi froze on the spot.

He actually wanted to applaud his junior brother.

But his current hypocrisy of righteousness does not allow him to do so.

After thinking about it, Gu Zhi asked: "But, Junior Brother, have you ever thought about—"

"If you don't want to save yourself, what will others think of you?"

Zuo Le sneered disapprovingly: "What do others think of me, what does that have to do with me?"

Gu Zhi smiled meaningfully: "The opinions of others may not be very important in normal times."

"But when it comes to critical moments, it can often play a big role."

"It's like someone slandering you for murder and arson."

"Although you didn't do it."

"But you are usually indifferent and indifferent, even if others beg you to come, you are indifferent."

"Everyone will subconsciously think that you are ruthless."

"I think it's not unusual to commit murder and arson according to your temperament."

"In this way, you can't argue with a hundred words."

"Public opinion will not be on your side at all."

Zuo Le was stunned.

He never thought about the implications of this.

But he had to admit that what Gu Zhi said made sense.

After all, he himself suffered from this kind of public opinion.

Seeing the speechless look of his junior brother, Gu Zhi knew that his words had worked.

He continued calmly: "For example, I saved this girl today."

"Are you going to say it's all because of my heart?"

"Not quite."

"From a utilitarian point of view, I want to create a good image for myself."

"In this way, when others talk about me in the future, they will say that I am a chivalrous man with a compassionate heart."

"This kind of positive public opinion may not see much effect on weekdays."

"But once it comes to a critical moment, the power will naturally be revealed."

Zuo Le was enlightened.

He shook his folding fan and smiled, half joking and half serious: "So in the end it's still hypocrisy, no wonder there are so many righteous hypocrites."

These words are equivalent to scolding Gu Zhi together.

But Gu Zhi was not angry either.

On the contrary, he joked with great mood: "I am a hypocrite, but I really like a real villain like Junior Brother."

Zuo Le was amused.

He spat on the man and corrected him: "I'm called true nature—you're a hypocrite, but I'm not a villain."

Gu Zhi laughed dumbfoundedly.

He hadn't been this happy in a long time.

In other words, he has never been so happy and at ease as he is now.

In the past, in front of others, he always wore a false mask of a gentleman.

But in front of his junior brother, he can let go of these disguises.

He can speak out the thoughts hidden deep in his heart without burden.

He is a man who is secretly deviant.

But his younger brother is a deviant and apostate.

He really loves the temperament of his junior brother.

Zuo Le doesn't know how men think of him.

Leaving these things aside.

He was actually trying to figure out tonight's ghost hunt.

Zuo Le turned the folding fan in his hand, walked leisurely to the bed and sat down, jokingly said:

"Today, senior brother rashly agreed to ask for help."

"How can you guarantee that you will be able to handle it?"

"Thinking that ghost dared to make trouble directly under Tianhua Mountain, it must have a lot of skill."

"You and I are just low-level monks now. If we confront that ghost, we will cause trouble, or even... seek our own death."

Such sarcasm should have been extremely irritating.

But Gu Zhi couldn't get angry at all.

He said with a good temper: "At that time, I only thought about saving people, how could I think so much."

Zuo Le looked at the man with disgust, and said teasingly: "Brother, please touch your conscience, is what you just said the truth?"

Gu Zhi burst out laughing.

Of course not.

The fact is that he agreed to save people out of image maintenance considerations.

On the other hand, it is to test the depth of the younger brother's skill.

You know, a monk can easily see which level a monk with lower strength than himself is in.

But now, he can't see the true cultivation of his junior at all.

This means that the younger brother's cultivation must be higher than his.

And it's obviously more than a little bit higher.
