At this time, what Gu Xu faced was the most difficult multiple-choice question in his life.
Shangguan Jin, Chen Yanping, Du Jingjing.
Choose one of three.
The first two 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 inevitably make the other party dissatisfied.
As for Du Jingjing...
Although Gu Xu admires this girl who is obsessed with Fu Dao.
But he had to admit that if he went with her, she would most likely become a burden to him.
This may sound callous.
But in such an 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."
If you are unsure about something, slipping 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 turbulent struggles of the powerful people in 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.
She has a simple personality and is very easy to coax. She has no bad intentions except for being greedy for him.
How does it look like these guys in front of me?
Each routine is deeper than the last.
…………
Upon 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", turned around and left, and soon started chatting enthusiastically with others.
Chen Yanping also said kindly 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 Taoism", or they talked about the possible dangers in the Laoshan ruins, or they discussed the subsequent cooperation and distribution of harvest.
For a moment, the Yamen lobby was noisy and 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 a few 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, his self-esteem was so low that he stood in the corner of the room with his head lowered and said nothing.
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 various sword moves in his mind; Unknowingly, I had a new understanding of the swordsmanship inherited from Jiange.
…
About half an hour passed.
Shi Lei, the Exorcist Department of Laizhou Prefecture, suddenly slammed the table and stood up.
Everyone present immediately fell silent.
The Yamen lobby suddenly became silent.
At this time, Shi Lei introduced that there was a distance of more than 350 miles between Laizhou Prefecture and Laoshan Mountain, passing through Pingduzhou, Guchengji, Jimo and other cities.
Everyone will take a floating airship specially prepared by the Exorcism Department Headquarters to reach their destination, which will take about two days.
"Flying boat!"
When they heard the news, everyone present - especially monks like "Qingluan" Du Jingjing and "Bifang" Chu Wei who were from common people and had low status, couldn't help but open their eyes wide.
They knew that the "Floating Flying Boat" was a precious magic weapon that could only be refined by saint-level monks. It could be used to transport people in bulk in the air, and there were very few of them in the entire Da Qi Dynasty.
It can only be used with the approval of a big shot like Luo Sishou.
It can be seen from this that the Exorcist Division headquarters attaches great importance to their exploration of the Laoshan ruins.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, 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.
He then remembered that the purpose of creating the "Shenji Camp" was to deal with the terrifying "Long Night" in the legend.
Chu Fengge once told him that the "Long Night" would come within three years.
By that time, the sun will no longer rise, the sky and the earth will be dark, the evil spirit will become more intense, and the strength of the ghosts 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, lined up and boarded a "floating airship" one by one.
The "Floating Flying Boat" reflects the morning sun, glowing with golden light, like a blazing golden flame, soaring from the ground into the sky.
He traveled hundreds of miles a day.
Arrive at the ancient city market as planned on the first night.
The next afternoon we stopped ten miles away from Laoshan.
Going forward is the danger zone.
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 had been massacred twenty-three years ago.
Nowadays, these villages are deserted except for the many tapirs who are keen on sucking human brains. They run rampant and seem 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."
