Chapter 148 Flying to Laoshan
At this time, Gu Xu was facing the most difficult multiple-choice question in his life.
Shangguan Jin, Chen Yanping, Du Jingjing.
Choose one of three.
The first two people may be a powerful help for his trip to Laoshan.
But the water in Chen's family is too deep.
Shangguan Jin is too thoughtful.
And no matter who he chooses, he will definitely make the other party dissatisfied.
As for Du Jingjing...
Although Gu Xu admires this girl who is obsessed with Fu Tao.
But he had to admit that if he went with her, she would most likely become a burden to him.
This may sound a little callous.
But in this important matter related to his future practice and even his life, he must consider himself first, but he has no obligation to be someone else's bodyguard.
He thought for a moment and replied: "To be honest, I am still used to acting alone."
When things are uncertain, sneaking away is the best option.
Although he has always been keen on hugging his thighs in tasks, he will never let him fly if he can win.
But instead of watching their words, fighting wits and courage with these guys all day long, and getting involved in the undercurrent of the struggle among the powerful people of Da Qi, it is obviously not as easy as fighting alone.
At this moment, he had to sigh silently: Shi Xiaohan's thigh was still comfortable to hold.
He has a simple personality and is very easy to coax. Apart from being greedy for him, he has no bad intentions.
How do they look like these guys in front of me?
Each routine is deeper than the last.
…………
Hearing his words, Shangguan Jin smiled slightly and did not show any anger. He just said "I'm waiting for you to change your mind", then turned and left. Quickly start chatting enthusiastically with others.
Chen Yanping also said in a friendly way that even if Gu Xu refused to cooperate, he still wanted to make friends with Gu Xu.
Only "Qingluan" Du Jingjing's face clearly showed a disappointed expression, but she still forced a smile and said to Gu Xu: "It doesn't matter, I respect fellow Taoist's decision."
...
Today is the first collective meeting of the reserve members of the "Shenji Battalion" in reality.
Most people were very excited and had a great time chatting.
Either they discussed the previous battles in the "Realm of Talking about Tao", or they talked about the possible dangers in the Laoshan ruins, or they discussed the future cooperation and harvest. distribute.
For a time, the lobby of the Yamen was noisy, like a market.
When many clerks passed by the lobby door, they couldn't help but stop and look inside the house, wondering what was going on here to make it so lively.
But there are a few people who have remained silent.
For example, the fourth prince Xiao Shangzhen - he is well aware of the principle taught to him by his sister that "talking too much will lead to mistakes". He has always kept silent and remained aloof to prevent others from seeing clues to his identity.
For example, "Bi Fang" Chu Wei, who was a ninth-grade official - after he was severely scolded by the fourth prince in public, he felt extremely inferior and stood in the corner of the room with his head lowered. Not a word was spoken.
And "White Tiger" Jiange Su Xiao - as a true swordsman, he just felt that the conversations of everyone present were extremely boring, so he closed his eyes and deduced all kinds of things in his mind. Such sword moves; unknowingly, I had a new understanding of the sword skills inherited from Jiange.
...
About half an hour passed.
Qianhu Shilei, the exorcist department of Laizhou Prefecture, suddenly slammed the table and stood up. Everyone present immediately fell silent.
The lobby of the Yamen suddenly became silent.
At this time, Shi Lei introduced that the distance between Laizhou Prefecture and Laoshan Mountain was hundreds of miles, passing through Pingduzhou, Guchengji, Jimo and other cities.
Everyone will take a floating airship specially prepared by the Exorcist Department Headquarters to their destination.
"Floating boat!"
When hearing the news, everyone present - especially people like "Qingluan" Du Jingjing and "Bifang" Chu Wei who were born in the common people and had low status. The tall monks all opened their eyes involuntarily.
They know that the "Flying Air Boat" is a precious magic weapon that can only be refined by saint-level monks. It can be used to transport people in bulk in the air, and there are only a few of them in the entire Da Qi Dynasty.
In the past hundreds of years, it was usually used in large-scale wars with ghosts.
It can only be used with the approval of a big shot like Luo Sishou.
It can be seen from this that the Exorcism Division headquarters attaches great importance to their exploration of the Laoshan ruins.
"Gu Daoyouyou, do you know what the energy source of the 'Floating Flying Boat' is?" At this moment, Shangguan Jin suddenly appeared next to Gu Xu again and whispered to him.
"Sunshine?" Gu Xu remembered that he had seen the answer to this question in a book.
"That's right," Shangguan Jin smiled and replied, "It can only be used during the day and cannot be used at night - so tonight, we need to spend the night in the ancient city before arriving at Laoshan tomorrow.
"Because of the characteristics of the 'Floating Airship', when the 'Long Night' falls, our war with ghosts will become more difficult than before. "
"Long Night..."
Gu Xu hadn't heard this word for a long time.
At this time, he remembered the purpose of creating the "Shenji Camp". Just to deal with the frightening "Long Night"
Chu Fengge once told him that the "Long Night" would come within three years.
By that time, the sun will no longer rise, the world will be dark, the evil spirit will become more intense, and the strength of ghosts and monsters will be greatly enhanced.
Now, a "Snow Girl" who has been promoted in strength has almost made Qingzhou Mansion miserable.
When the "Long Night" arrives, I am afraid that the entire Da Qi Dynasty will face an extremely difficult test.
…………
More than a dozen young monks from the reserve force of the "Shenji Battalion" followed Shi Lei to the wilderness outside Laizhou City. They lined up and boarded a "floating airship" one by one.
The "Floating Flying Boat" reflects the morning sun, glowing with golden light, like a burning golden flame, rising from the ground and reaching into the sky.
We arrived at the ancient city as planned on the first night.
The next afternoon we stopped ten miles away from Laoshan.
Going forward is the dangerous area.
Because it is suppressed by the restrictions left by Kongxuan Sanren, the "Floating Flying Boat" cannot fly directly into it.
In that area, there were several villages that were massacred twenty-three years ago.
Nowadays, these villages are deserted, except for the many tapirs who are keen on sucking human brains and run rampant, seeming to want to block all visitors from the scope of Laoshan Mountain.
"Are you ready?" Shi Lei stood at the front of the team and asked the young monks.
"Ready." everyone replied.
"Then come with me!" Shi Lei said as he led the way towards the restricted area. "I can only send you to the foot of Laoshan Mountain. You need to walk the rest of the way by yourself."
