Chapter 617 Qualified Leader
“Of course I remember.” Luo Chuan nodded.
"I have been thinking recently," Gu Xu pondered for a moment and said, "Is there some way that we can get some of the latest information about the Lingxiao world.
"In the past For thousands of years, Taishang Haotian has known everything about the Great Wilderness through the 'Step to Heaven' or the Tai'a Sword. However, we know nothing about what happened in the Lingxiao world. We don’t know how far they have developed during this long period of time, and how big the gap is between them and us. "
"This is difficult," Luo Chuan said solemnly, "With Taishang Haotian's current cultivation level, any outsider who tries to enter the Lingxiao world will most likely be exposed to his sight. Down. It is almost impossible for us to send people to sneak in quietly. ”
"Of course I can't send people there directly," Gu Xu said, "We don't have many eighth-level monks here who can cross the void. They are all the white jade pillars that hold the sky and the purple gold beam that bridges the sea. How can we let them go so easily? Are they risking their lives to do such a thing?
"I'm just wondering if there are some other ways, such as secretly sending some remotely controlled puppets into the spirit world, or trying to capture a few of them. Find out some information about Lingxiao World from the people of Lingxiao World who have opened up a different world. ”
When he heard Gu Xu refer to the Eighth Realm monks in the wilderness as “White Jade Pillars” and “Purple Golden Beams”, Luo Chuan was deeply touched.
He thought : Since the emperor values me so much, how can I not do my best to repay the emperor's appreciation?
"Emperor, it's definitely not possible to just send the puppet over," Luo Chuan said slowly after thinking for a while. He said, "The rules of the two worlds are different. The monks are in the wilderness and cannot control the puppets in the Lingxiao world.
"Catching a monk from the Lingxiao Realm who is exploring outside may seem feasible, but the chance is too slim. It's like finding a needle in a haystack."
At this point, he paused for a while, seeming to be turning over the contents in his mind. Looking for some long-lasting memories.
“However, many years ago, I discovered a method in an ancient book in the Lingxiao world that might be worth trying.”
“Oh? What method is it? "Gu Xu asked.
Luochuan slowed down his speech and said word by word: "Only send the soul."
"Only the soul..."
Gu Xu silently repeated these words in his heart, and his brows couldn't help but frown slightly.
Just from these few words, he could faintly feel the infinite danger hidden in them.
I only heard Luo Chuan continue to explain: "According to the description in that book, every world has its own reincarnation system. The departed souls usually enter it, go through reincarnation, and reincarnate as humans. .
"Theoretically, as long as we can accurately grasp the coordinates of the Lingxiao Realm, we can try to disguise the souls of the Great Wilderness monks in the fifth realm and above as the dead souls, while retaining their memories. Guide them into the reincarnation system of the Lingxiao world, where they can be reincarnated. ”
"Has there been any successful attempt before?" Gu Xu asked.
"No," Luo Chuan shook his head, "It's only theoretically possible."
Gu Xu's expression became more solemn.
This matter is undoubtedly an extremely difficult decision for him.
On the one hand, today's Lingxiao world is in a completely unknown state. Once a war breaks out, the information asymmetry between the two sides will make Dahuang fall into a completely passive situation;
On the other hand, if we follow the method proposed by Luo Chuan and send the souls of a group of practitioners into reincarnation in the Lingxiao Realm, judging from the huge risks involved, this is almost equivalent to sending a death squad deep into the enemy camp, and It will be difficult for them to return to their homeland in their lifetime.
Thinking of this, Gu Xu couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
At this moment, he deeply felt that he was still not a qualified leader.
He is well aware that his position in the wilderness now plays an important role, so he can no longer do everything by himself as he did in the past, let alone put himself in danger easily.
He must learn to leave many things to others.
However, when he realized that he had to issue an order and ask his men to make such a huge sacrifice, he still felt a heavy feeling in his heart. "I will think about this matter again," Gu Xu said calmly after a brief silence, "Wenchang, you should go and preside over today's actual combat assessment of the 'Purple Mansion Army'!"
< br>"Yes, Emperor."
Luo Chuan stood up, bowed his hands in salute to Gu Xu, and then took the "warming pot" down the stairs and walked to the lobby of the Exorcism Department Yamen.
Gu Xu was still sitting on the observatory, staring at the distant sky. The heavy leaden clouds reflected in his eyes, making his gaze look even deeper.
.........
On this snowy morning, as the melodious bell rang, Li Yun stepped into the solemn lobby of the headquarters of the Luojing Exorcism Division.
Luo Chuan, the head of the Exorcism Department, was wearing a crane cloak and sitting at the top of the lobby.
On the table in front of him, there was an exquisite white jade pot.
As Luo Chuan gently waved his sleeves, dozens of jade talismans soared from the table and accurately fell into the hands of everyone present.
Li Yun sat on the futon in the lobby and glanced at the jade talisman in his hand. He saw a line of shining small seal characters engraved on it:
"The weather is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the people."
According to Luo Chuan's introduction, this is the secret formula for them to enter the illusion of Wen Gu Hu.
And if they feel difficulties during the assessment process and want to give up, they only need to crush this jade talisman to leave the illusion in advance.
Li Yun and everyone around him closed their eyes and recited the mantra in a low voice.
As the Wen Gu Pot emitted a soft milky white light, the sound of ethereal fairy music could be faintly heard in everyone's ears, and their consciousness gradually fell into deep darkness.
When their vision became clear again, they found themselves on top of a towering city, surrounded by vast wilderness.
The horns sounded one after another, and the sounds of fighting were endless.
Apparently a fierce battle is going on.
…………
"It seems that what these monks drew was the scene of the Battle of Liangzhou." Gu Xu said.
At this time Luochuan had returned to the observatory.
The two of them observed the assessment situation in the Wen Gu pot through the bronze mirror.
The dozens of monks who participated in the assessment today have been randomly assigned identities and transformed into practitioners in the Daxia or Daqi army on the battlefield.
The task they faced was to capture or defend a turret with a formation hub.
Gu Xu has been busy with official duties recently and is unable to attend every assessment in person, but he will occasionally take time to come to observe whether there are any young monks worthy of key training in the future.
His expression is always as calm as water, unruffled.
But suddenly, his eyes were sharply locked on a tall and thin monk standing on the edge of the turret holding a long sword -
He had seen this person before!
