Gu Daoist Master

<>, chapter five, section thirty-two.

Ren Zu continued on his journey, after a while, a huge Predicament entered Ren Zu’s vision.

Strong Gu was inside this Predicament’s body, it laughed: “Oh human, I am back again. This time, I have help, let’s see what you can do!”

Ren Zu had to stop walking, even though the Predicament before him was huge, he did not fluster.

Long long ago, Ren Zu had been chased by a group of Predicaments as he escaped, but after he gave his heart to hope Gu, those Predicaments which feared hope escaped in panic.

“Oh hope Gu, I need your help.”

Ren Zu summoned hope Gu but the light of hope did not scare away this Predicament.

What was going on?

“Haha!” Strong Gu laughed: “Oh human, this Predicament has gained my help, it will definitely be the greatest Predicament you have ever met in your life. With just hope, how can you possibly defeat it?”

Ren Zu could not think of a way.

At this moment, weak Gu that was shielded by Ren Zu spoke in a soft voice: “Oh human, thank you for protecting me. Don’t worry, I have an idea, let’s scare this Predicament away!”

“You can scare it away?”

Weak Gu shook its head: “Oh human, even something as weak as me has a method to survive in life. Against those that want to eat or bully me, I will often put up a deceiving disguise, to make others think that I am very strong.”

“This world favors the strong. Even if we are weak, we need to disguise ourselves as strong beings or we will be bullied everywhere.”

“Oh human, you can do it. Don’t you have fear Gu? Isn’t attitude Gu on your face?”

Ren Zu heard weak Gu’s suggestion and decided to try it.

He first twisted his appearance using attitude Gu, revealing his teeth and showing a fierce expression. Next, he used fear Gu to scare the Predicament as it bore its teeth, sprawling on the ground and staring at Ren Zu vigilantly.

Ren Zu was dazed: “Why didn’t we scare it away?”

Weak Gu urged: “Didn’t it jump earlier? This means that my method works, but we need to put in more effort. Oh human, why don’t you put attitude Gu on top of self Gu? What is the best form of deceit or disguise? It is to deceive even yourself. By doing that, we should be able to deceive the Predicament.”

Weak Gu continued: “As long as the Predicament thinks that you are strong, it will definitely let you pass. That is because Predicaments often take the initiative to give way to the strong.”

Ren Zu took off the mask on his face as he placed attitude Gu on self Gu.

However, it was pointless.

The Predicament did not run off in fear.

Ren Zu realized at once: “I understand now, when a person faces a huge predicament, putting up a facade will never solve the real problem.”

Strong Gu laughed: “Oh human, stop wasting your effort. With me here to remind the Predicament, how can you guys possibly deceive it? You should not have saved weak Gu, weak people often like to jeer and taunt others, showing a ruthless demeanor to conceal their own weakness inside.”

Ren Zu was helpless, he could only stall for time temporarily.

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration as he said to strong Gu: “You said that the law of survival is for the strong to eat the weak, I agree with that. But how do you prove that you are strong while we are weak? If you cannot prove this, on what basis are you allowed to eat us?”

Strong Gu was dazed: “It is because I am strong Gu and that is weak Gu.”

Ren Zu shook his head: “Just your names alone cannot prove anything. Moreover, other than both of you Gu worms, myself and this Predicament are also here.”
