I don't want to do it, but he has a health bar

Chapter 247 The Immortal Touches Your Head, and Your Hair Turns White (Subscribe)
Rui Gangfeng is a man of fierce temperament, stern and upright.

He was known for his integrity in the court of Dayu and among the literati.

He once risked his life to make suggestions during the reign of Emperor Shizong of Dayu. His memorial on public security was well-known throughout the court and the country, and won admiration from the whole world.

But later in the reign of Emperor Muzong, Gao Su hated and disliked him, so he did not use him.

Later, during the reign of Emperor Wanchang, Zhang Taiyue did not dare to use him and allowed him to live out his retirement in Nanzhili.

This person has always been just throughout his life. He knows the ways of the world but is unwilling to be worldly-wise.

He is always aggressive towards everyone.

But he still has a great reputation.

No one can and will ever deal with him easily.

Wherever Rui Gangfeng went, officials were afraid and panicked. He even set a record of more than 100 officials resigning in one day after the official documents were sent to the local area.

This shows the power of Ruigang Peak.

He may not be the highest-ranking official in Dayu.

But he is definitely one of the most famous officials in Dayu in the past few decades.

So when in Ehuo City, Lu Jing also talked with Zhang Taiyue about this famous and highly respected contemporary official.

Zhang Taiyue's evaluation of this person is: this person has a sharp mind, is upright and honest, and will not tolerate any mistakes.

But he was too greedy for fame and disregarded the world for the sake of his lifelong reputation!
So he is actually not suitable to be an official.

At least, he is not suitable to be a parent official.

Although many places under Rui Gangfeng's rule were clean and corruption-free, local merchants and gentry were still afraid and dared not set foot in the areas under his jurisdiction.

He is indeed an admirable man.

His uprightness and integrity are like a star in the night sky, illuminating the officialdom and making people believe that there are still people who uphold the right path in the world.

But integrity could not save the court from its decline.

Therefore, Zhang Taiyue was unwilling to reuse Rui Gangfeng.

He is like the evergreen grass in the world. Although he can withstand frost and snow, he is not enough to become a pillar to support a country.

Therefore, Ruigang Peak can only become a symbol and a flag.

Become a sharp sword.

A sharp sword that only a holy monarch can wield.

Lu Jing also agreed with this.

Rui Gangfeng was indeed too greedy for fame. For the sake of his reputation as being honest and upright, he even let his daughter starve to death. He lacked enough human brilliance.

But is this Rui Gangfeng’s fault?
Isn't this the world's fault?

It is the education and principles of this world that are wrong that have created an awkward and contradictory person like Rui Gangfeng.

That's why Lu Jing appeared in front of Rui Gangfeng. If possible...

This person may become a sharp sword for the Min Dynasty.

That's why Lu Jing took special care to present everything happening around the world to Rui Gangfeng's mind.

When Rui Gangfeng saw the princes and gentry in various parts of Dayu falling into madness and killing people, he was not overly moved.

But when he saw those mad princes and wealthy family masters wielding their swords at innocent people, causing rivers of blood to flow, Rui Gangfeng's eyes widened with anger.

He was educated in such a way that he could not and would not allow such a thing to happen.

Therefore, even though Rui Gangfeng was already in his seventies, he glared at Lu Jing angrily. Even though the other party was a supreme master, he was not afraid at all: "You are so careless about human life! Is this in accordance with heaven? You are unworthy of being a supreme master! From now on, you will be a sinner for all eternity!"

Lu Jing smiled.

This guy is indeed stubborn.

Not afraid of death either.

This man's personality reminded Lu Jing of an anime character he had seen in his previous life - Rorschach.

He was also a person who would rather die than surrender for the justice in his heart.

In order to reveal the truth, Rorschach eventually met the ending he chose.

At this moment, Lu Jing was like Dr. Manhattan.

And Rigan Peak is just like Rorschach.

But Lu Jing would not destroy Ruigang Peak with just a wave of his hand like Dr. Manhattan.

Lu Jing pulled his hand back and said gently: "Rui Gangfeng, this is a huge change. In this huge change, blood will definitely be shed." "Those who should bleed will bleed, and those who shouldn't bleed will also bleed."

"This is the way of the world, and this is also the way of heaven."

"If you want to keep a good reputation for yourself, but you don't even have the courage to stain your hands with innocent blood, then why do you want such a good reputation? Aren't you just using your reputation for integrity to deceive the simple-minded people?"

Rui Gangfeng's expression suddenly changed.

But he didn't refute it.

because……

He knows it himself.

Just as Rui Gangfeng once commented on Zhang Taiyue, "He is good at planning for the country, but poor at planning for himself."

Rui Gangfeng felt even more heartbroken when Zhang Taiyue’s house was ransacked.

Lu Jing continued, "I know you can't accept it. Asking you to destroy your reputation is worse than cutting you apart. It's even more painful. This is the world and the concepts you have accepted since childhood that have shaped you."

“But, people practice cultivation throughout their lives.”

"You may be over 70, but didn't your Confucius teach you that learning never ends?"

"When you feel it's difficult, that's when you need to practice."

As he spoke, Lu Jing raised his hand. In this strange wind in the sky, the world was collapsing. Lu Jing, dressed in white, raised his hand like an immortal, and stretched out his hand to the white-haired and old Rui Gangfeng: "I will give you thirty years of life for you to meditate and practice."

The words have not yet fallen.

Strands of pure life energy poured into Rui Gangfeng's body.

Rui Gangfeng, who was originally very old, suddenly seemed as if time was flowing backwards for him... his old and withered hair began to fall out, and black hair grew out in an instant.

The loose, wrinkled skin becomes tight and smooth.

Even though Rui Gangfeng was unwilling to bend his back for his entire life, he slowly began to straighten up.

There are even new teeth growing in his mouth.

In the blink of an eye, Rui Gangfeng had transformed into a middle-aged man in his forties.

Rui Gangfeng was addicted to the wonderful feeling of rejuvenation and could hardly extricate himself.

When he came to his senses, he still saw the yellow sky, the howling of strange winds, and countless people with strange tumors or growths on their bodies who were roaring, laughing strangely, and crying madly.

And in this dilapidated and crazy world, only Lu Jing, dressed in white, stands alone.

It seems like it doesn't belong to this world.

Rui Gangfeng was puzzled and asked: "Just so I can practice?"

Lu Jing stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly: "Law is nothing more than human nature. It is good that you can hold yourself to the standards of a saint. But the other side of cultivation is to use the standards of ordinary people to look at ordinary people."

“The law is not there to make people better, but to prevent them from getting worse.”

"It is used to provide a safety net, not to create prosperity."

"If you understand the subtleties and depths of this, I will come back to find you."

As he spoke, Lu Jing's figure slowly floated up, as if his body was becoming lighter and lighter.

Then he flew up.

Rui Gangfeng came to his senses from what Lu Jing had just said. He stretched out his hand toward the sky: "But..."

But Lu Jing didn't listen to him.

Lu Jing floated higher and higher and soon passed through the clouds, passed through the sky, and came to the top of Xuanxu, where he came face to face with Nurahaci, who had refined the power of the dragon veins of the nine continents, eight lands and twelve lakes.

Looking at Nurahaci in front of him, Lu Jing slowly rolled up his sleeves, revealing his muscular arms full of explosive power under the wide sleeves.

Lu Jing looked at Nurahachi opposite him and said, "Come on, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

It's time!
Punch to the flesh!

The blood flowed like a river!

The rising mighty fighting spirit was like a raging fire with smoke from the enemy.

That brave and terrifying aura is heavier than the stars and deeper than the universe!

Even though he had absorbed almost all of the dragon vein power in this world, Nurahaci's heart was still pounding!

This is damned!

damn it!
A sense of oppression!!
