Fangzheng was completely speechless about Ai Ge's proposal, while Nie Xiaoqian was very grateful. In fact, in Nie Xiaoqian's view, this was not a punishment at all. She had seen Fangzheng's power with her own eyes. An immortal with such power must have a very high status. If she could become his servant, it would be like reaching the sky in a single bound!
In fact, there were many such things in myths and legends.
For example, a demon would cause trouble, and then an immortal would descend to earth and accept the demon as a disciple. In the eyes of modern people, this would probably be regarded as slavery, but for the demons and evil spirits of that era, it was no less than reaching the sky in a single bound! After all, most of them were born with their own abilities. They did not have a correct understanding of how to continue their cultivation. They could only follow their own ideas and make themselves stronger.
But this kind of cultivation was equivalent to building a car behind closed doors. Compared with studying Advanced Mathematics alone in a house and learning Advanced Mathematics under the guidance of a powerful mathematician, as long as one was not a fool, one would know that the latter would definitely learn more. Although you would also have to bear more requirements and tasks, and be ordered around like a mule, you would definitely learn faster than figuring things out by yourself!
In Nie Xiaoqian's case, even if she was not sent to the 18th level of hell, she would still suffer a lot. In the end, she would die of reincarnation, and no one would know who she would reincarnate into for the sins she had committed in this life. She might even end up worse. Now that she was following Fangzheng, she could be regarded as an immortal …. She could be considered as a temporary worker in a government enterprise!
Of course, temporary workers would also be fired if they did not do well, but at least they were much better than those who could not get in, right?
And if they worked hard, they might even become permanent workers.
After dealing with the old locust tree, Fangzheng set his eyes on the Witch of the Black Mountain. Nie Xiaoqian naturally became a member of the party that led them to the Black Mountain behind. As for Ning Caichen, he didn't continue to take risks like in the story. Instead, he chose to leave after much consideration. As a scholar, he understood that a gentleman would not stand under a collapsing wall. From the looks of it, Fangzheng and his group were obviously going to find a super powerful Great Demon. He was just a scholar without the strength to even truss a chicken. If he followed them to watch the show, he would most likely lose his life.
As for the debt … he definitely wouldn't come. Compared to collecting the debt, his life was more important, wasn't it?
Although Ning Caichen was dull, he was not stupid. After bidding farewell to Fangzheng and others, he carried his basket and hurried down the mountain.
Fangzheng and the others followed Nie Xiaoqian to the back of the mountain.
After making her decision, Ai Ge didn't say anything else. Instead, she walked behind the group with a thoughtful smile, looking at this and that. Fortunately, Lin Yu'eru and Zhao Ling'er were completely focused on the Great Demon that they were about to meet and did not pay attention to her.
"What are you thinking about?"
Looking at Ai Ge, whose eyes were rolling around, Fangzheng knew that she must have thought of something. Sure enough, Ai Ge nodded and said softly.
"I finally understand what you mean, father."
"Huh?"
"Good and evil have no meaning when you're alone. Only when you're together will it have meaning, right?"
"Hmm … That's pretty much it …"
Hearing Ai Ge's words, Fangzheng nodded. Just like Robinson Crusoe who was stranded on an isolated island, no one would care whether he was a robber or a thief, and no one would care whether he was immoral or not. Even if he was outside all day and asked, "Elephant, elephant, why is your nose so long?"
Who cared? No one cared.
Morality, ethics, law, these were only meaningful when people communicated with each other. Because these were the cornerstones of maintaining social communication and order. Without these cornerstones, the social foundation of human beings would collapse. Therefore, it was the same whether it was good or evil or the law.
Because only when people lived in groups would there be private property such as "yours" and "mine", and a series of rules and norms would arise. The same was true for not harming other people's lives. Only a group of people who could communicate with each other could enforce this rule.
Otherwise, even if you told a tiger or a wild boar in the forest, they wouldn't understand.
The problem with Ai Ge was that she used to be the only person in her world, so she didn't need to care about the law, let alone morality and evil.
But others would care.
"What will happen if I kill that Ning Caichen in front of everyone?"
Ai Ge put her hands behind her back and jumped up and down like she was dancing. She looked curiously at Fangzheng, but Fangzheng just shrugged.
"Ling 'er and Lin Yueru are kind-hearted children. They'll definitely stop you."
"But they can't beat me."
Ai Ge was very confident in her own strength. In fact, Zhao Ling 'er and Lin Yueru could not beat her.
"Of course, but they'll be angry."
"For a person you've only met once? We should be considered … friends, right? "
"So they don't want you to become a bad person."
"Bad person?"
Ai Ge blinked her eyes when she heard this.
"I just killed a stranger. How can I be called a bad person?"
"That's how people communicate with each other."
Fangzheng didn't say anything more. He just reached out his hand and touched Ai Ge's head. As for Ai Ge, she narrowed her eyes and looked at Zhao Linger and Lin Yueru, who were walking in front of her with an interested expression. No one knew what she was thinking.
"It's just ahead, Exalted Immortal."
While talking, Nie Xiaoqian led them to the residence of the Witch of Black Mountain. As far as the eye could see, the mountain in front of him was pitch-black. Dark clouds covered the sky, and the Yin Qi was dense. He could even see specks of green will-o '-the-wisps on the mountain, as well as a huge pitch-black cave.
"Be careful, Exalted Immortal."
At this moment, Nie Xiaoqian was addicted to being a guide.
"The Old Witch of Black Mountain has gathered a lot of monsters in the cave mansion. All of them are extremely vicious. Even we don't dare to enter at will …"
"If that's the case, it's convenient."
Hearing Nie Xiaoqian's words, Fangzheng nodded. He clenched the black sword in his hand and strode to the cave.
Then, Fangzheng raised the black sword in his hand high and swung it at the cave in front of him!
The greatsword drew an arc in the air and struck the ground. A deep rumbling sound could be heard from the ground. Then, a huge crack suddenly appeared on the ground where the tip of the pitch-black greatsword had struck, and it quickly spread into the cave.
In the next moment, scorching flames soared into the sky from the gap, splitting the entire mountain into two!!
