Gu Xun rarely preaches directly to others because he believes that the power of words is pale and empty most of the time.

A person will change, certainly not because of a simple talk.

But this time, he couldn't help but spray Shi Lan.

This group of Shushan children all feel like they are standing on the ground, but their minds seem to be floating in the sky.

No regard for reality at all!

For something as big as the Fuso Sacred Tree, once it falls into the hands of the Empire, it can be abandoned immediately.

Except for the empire itself, it is impossible for any force to return the Fuso Sacred Tree to its original place, including quicksand and snares.

Who has the ability to dispatch thousands of people to transport this thing despite the pressure of the empire?

Back then, the Great Elder of Shushan and the others directly chose to die with the empire... Although they were the only ones who died in fact, it was because they all knew that once the Fuso Sacred Tree was lost, it could never be regained.

As the guardian of the sacred tree, since he can't save everything, at least he has to die under the light of the sacred tree.

But these young people should not shoulder this responsibility blankly, at an age when they may not understand anything.

So the Great Elder of Shushan let them escape and let them live.

But after these people escaped from Shushan, although they did many things, they failed to do the one thing they should do most - survive.

They are always looking for death!

Facing Gu Xun's scolding, Shi Lan's eyes instantly turned red.

It's not because of fear or anger, it's just that I think of my mother and the elders in Shushan.

She looked up at Gu Xun, her eyes filled with water, but her expression was very decisive and resolute, "You are from the Central Plains, you are not from Shushan... you don't understand!"

Gu Xun sighed secretly in his heart, his face softened, and he replied softly, "Maybe I really don't understand Shushan, but the fact is the fact, and it won't change just because you are from Shushan."

"I only know that when your mother sent you to escape from Shushan, what she expected in her heart was definitely for you to avenge them and to take back the Fuso tree."

"You..." Shi Lan trembled slightly, her eyes became more and more sour, and the water in her eyes became more intense, "You... why do you... represent my mother's thoughts?"

Gu Xun smiled helplessly.

Sure enough, chatting is not what he is good at. The power of words is as pale as ever, and nothing can be changed.

"Ah...I won't argue with you about this. Let's talk about something meaningful."

"No matter how you want to take back the sacred tree and restore Shu Mountain, you have to stay alive to have hope and achieve your goals."

"So I suggest you stop being reckless when doing things in the future."

Shi Lan took two deep breaths and finally suppressed the boiling emotions in her heart, suppressed her longing for her mother and tribe, suppressed her dissatisfaction with Gu Xun's "frivolous" attitude, and suppressed her own anger.

She didn't want to get close to Gu Xun, nor did she want to anger Gu Xun, although she felt that Gu Xun... did not have any ill intentions towards her.

"So, you won't let us board the mirage again?" Shi Lan, who had calmed down her mood, asked coldly.

"Didn't I answer this question for you?" Gu Xun rubbed his temples helplessly.

Are little girls so difficult to deal with nowadays?

As expected, Chitaki is the most well-behaved.

Shi Lan was silent for a moment, then replied, "I want to save my brother."

You said I can't move the sacred tree, so let's not talk about it, but you can't help but let me save people, right?

Gu Xun raised his brows and replied with a smile, "As for your brother's question... you have to understand that if he is in urgent need of rescue, you will not be able to save him in time. If his situation is not that urgent, then you don't need to save him in a short time."

Return to the mirage inside and wait for the opportunity to change."

Generally speaking, the sooner you save someone, the better. Even if you may not be able to make it in time, you still have to try your best. You cannot just give up treatment just because you may not be able to make it in time.

Gu Xun's statement is a strong argument.

But Shi Lan's brother Yu Ziqi was not in an ordinary situation.

He is definitely still in Yun Zhongjun's hands.

If Yun Zhongjun was angry at his 'betrayal' and killed him directly, then it would definitely be hopeless now, so there is no need to worry.

If Yun Zhongjun lets him go temporarily for some reason, then his life will not be in danger in a short period of time, and there is no need to worry.

In this way, there is nothing wrong with Gu Xun's analysis.

After listening to this, Shi Lan admitted this, but... there was still a little loophole:

"Brother, he was forced to take the Ghost Control Pill..." Shi Lan replied quietly, "His consciousness can't last long!"

The danger Yu Ziqi faces is not only his life, but also his consciousness.

If Yu Ziqi was not killed by Yun Zhongjun, would he still have his own consciousness?

If his consciousness has completely disappeared and he has completely become Yun Zhongjun's puppet, can he still be saved?

The two issues and time are still relevant.

If there is still any self-awareness left in Yuzi period, it is likely to be gradually lost as time goes by.

Or, even if he has completely lost consciousness and has become a puppet, time may affect the chance of saving him - delaying it too late may delay the opportunity for treatment.

What Shi Lan is most worried about now is actually this problem.

"The problem with the Ghost Control Pill..." Gu Xun smacked his lips, thought for a while and then replied, "To be honest, I have studied that thing."

"Under normal circumstances, people who have taken the Ghost Control Pill are hopeless. They must either continue to exist as immortal puppets or die."

Hearing this, Shi Lan's heart trembled, and she subconsciously retorted sharply, "Impossible! Brother, he was clearly conscious before, and Shao Yu was also..."

Gu Xun raised his hand and pressed it softly, signaling Shi Lan to calm down, and said at the same time, "They are all in abnormal situations. They relied on their extraordinary physical fitness and tenacious will to withstand the destruction of their sanity by the Ghost Control Pill."

"However, no matter how much you resist, there are limits."

"Shaoyu has almost reached his limit, and is only a hair away from collapse... If it weren't for that real person pill, he might have collapsed and become a puppet."

"As for your brother... regardless of where his limits are, how do you think Yun Zhongjun, who has already suffered a lot, will deal with him?"

No matter how high the limit is, there is still a limit.

One can hold two, three can hold five, but what about seven?

Can it even withstand ten, twenty, or more?

There is no shortage of Yun Zhongjun in terms of the Ghost Control Pill, but just give it to Yu Ziqi. At worst, this 'traitor' will be overpowered by the medicine to death.

Shi Lan had obviously thought of this, and his face suddenly turned pale, without any trace of blood.

Seeing her stunned look, Gu Xun couldn't help but grin, "Okay, don't scare yourself."

"Don't worry too much about your brother's safety."

"You don't have to worry about the efficacy of the Ghost Control Pill all the time."

"Both he and Shao Yu did rely on their own abilities to withstand the devastation of the Ghost Control Pill, but he and Shao Yu are different."

Pure physical qualities and the so-called strong will actually have little effect when faced with the Ghost Control Pill.

Yun Zhongjun's experimental questions are all-inclusive and can be used by everyone. There is no shortage of people who also meet the above conditions.

But none of them could withstand the effect of the Ghost Control Pill, not one of them.

Although this is because Shao Yu and Yu Ziqi are stronger than those experimental subjects, the more reason lies in their own particularity.

Shao Yu's natural divine power has completely exceeded the scope of physical fitness, and... in this somewhat metaphysical world, as one of the 'protagonists', he is the most special individual.

As for Yu Ziqi...

"Don't forget, your brother is a guard of Yu Yuan, a genuine guard of Yu Yuan."

As soon as Gu Xun said these words, Shi Lan was stunned and immediately showed a happy face.

right!

My brother is Yu Yuan's bodyguard, he won't get into trouble that easily!

Seeing Shi Lan's changes in sadness and joy, Gu Xun shook his head secretly.

After all, she is just a little girl. Most of the time she does things with enthusiasm, and she cannot truly summarize all the information she has in detail.

As the princess of Shushan, do you need others to remind you if Yu Yuan’s guard is fragile?

But today's Yu Ziqi is indeed the weakest time.

Yu Yuan was already sealed by Gu Xun, and an additional seal was imposed by Shi Qing at the cost of his life. In addition, he was far away from Shushan and could not control Yu Yuan's power at all.

Otherwise, the Ghost Control Pill is probably no different from a supplement to him.

Now, although he is a little better than other drug users, he is only a little better.

But there is good news - the Fuso tree is very close to him now.

With the subtle blessing of the power of the sacred tree, the power of Yu Yuan in him would occasionally enter an activated state.

As long as Yun Zhongjun doesn't kill anyone, he can use Yu Yuan's power to restore his sanity.

And as long as you can still maintain a certain level of sanity, there is still hope.
