The revelation of the identity of "Wenchang Xingjun" seemed to shock everyone present more than "Gu Xu is the reincarnation of Emperor Ziwei".
Although Emperor Ziwei is a high-ranking immortal, he is still too far away from everyone, and there are many popular legends about immortals descending to earth.
However, as one of the "Five Saints" of Daqi and the mainstay of the court, Luo Chuan, the head of the exorcism department, appeared in a secret organization like "Qing Ming", stood with the number one rebel on the wanted list, and openly announced To go against the Emperor of Da Qi.
This made everyone present unable to believe their eyes.
"Daqi is really going to change today!" they couldn't help but sigh.
…………
As the saying goes, decision-making is always a matter for a few people.
The so-called general meeting, whether it is Daqi's court meeting or Qingming's plenary meeting, is more for the purpose of making the results of the deliberations known to the public.
Today is no exception.
As early as a day ago, Gu Xu had already made plans for the future with Luo Chuan.
"We need more allies."
Gu Xu put his hands behind his back and looked at the map of the wilderness hanging on the wall. His eyes were as deep as an ancient well, making it impossible to see through his true thoughts.
After hearing his words, Luo Chuan took a step forward and pointed to the northwest of the map: "Emperor, the group of monks at Lingshan Temple hide some little-known secrets, and I happen to be the one who knows about it. I can go there myself. , inviting them to join our camp.”
Gu Xu nodded.
"Rather than a bunch of rabble, we need strong men who can take the lead. I care more about Jueming's attitude than those little monks who can't stand beating."
"I will try to persuade Jueming. But perhaps you, the emperor, need to be present in person to let him see the hope of victory in this war."
"Can."
"The current attitude of Xu Man of Jiange is unclear. But her former lover Hu Yun became the 'Ghost Attendant' of the Ghost King of Mangshan. I believe she must want to change this world where ghosts are rampant. But I am not sure whether she has the same understanding as the Daqi court and the The courage to oppose Supreme Shang Haotian."
"Jiange..." Gu Xu silently recited the name of this place, feeling a little lost in thought for a moment.
"The emperor thinks there is a problem?" Seeing that Gu Xu didn't reply for a long time, Luo Chuan nodded slightly and asked respectfully.
"No," Gu Xu shook his head slightly, then pointed at his chest, "This young man's obsession with his fiancée is too deep. After occupying his body, it is inevitable that he will be affected.
"But it's not a big deal."
"Then the alliance with the North——"
"——I will go to Zhao Yan personally to discuss it." Gu Xu said calmly.
Luo Chuan looked at his calm eyes, his heart was filled with ups and downs for a moment, and he couldn't help but sigh that all these years of hard work had not been in vain. The past emperor had indeed returned.
…………
Lingshan Temple, known as one of the "three major sects in Da Qi", is located among the rolling mountains, surrounded by towering trees and cliffs. It seems to be isolated from the world, and there is no smell of human fireworks.
There is only a narrow, rugged, moss-covered path winding around the mountain, connecting the temple to the outside world.
Gu Xu and Luo Chuan passed through the space passage and appeared directly at the mountain gate of Lingshan Temple.
From a distance, this mountain gate looks just like a very simple and shabby wooden door, but when you get closer, it suddenly becomes solemn and solemn. A huge golden plaque hangs above the mountain gate, shining with dazzling light, with three characters "Lingshan Temple" written on it.
Two tall and mighty stone lions squatted on both sides of the door. Their eyes were wide open, staring at the two uninvited guests who suddenly appeared from the cracks in the space.
Luo Chuan reached out and touched the stone lion's head, and said to it: "Tell you, abbot, Luo Chuan, the head of the exorcism department, is waiting for him outside the door."
A faint golden light flashed in the stone lion's eyes.
A few seconds later, Master Jueming, the abbot of Lingshan Temple, appeared in front of the two of them.
He was still the same as the last time Gu Xu saw him, wearing a simple cassock, holding a golden Zen staff, and his face was covered with deep wrinkles.
Seeing the Zen staff in Master Jueming's hand, Gu Xu's back of the head began to hurt involuntarily——
Not long ago, when he was fleeing with Xue Nu, it was Master Jueming who manipulated this Zen staff and hit him in the head.
If he hadn't been wearing a "substitute bracelet", he might have died long ago.
The former pursuer has now become an ally that must be fought over.
Gu Xu couldn't help but sigh that this world is really interesting.
While Gu Xu was looking at Master Jueming, Master Jueming was also silently looking at the two people who came unexpectedly in front of him.
His eyes first swept over Luochuan, and then stayed on Gu Xu for a long time.
"I can't believe that under such circumstances, you actually dare to come here to find me."
While he was speaking, a ball of golden light emerged from his fingertips and slowly flew towards Gu Xu.
Gu Xu didn't have time to respond yet.
Luo Chuan, who was next to him, took a step forward and waved his hand gently, as if wiping off dirt on the table, causing the golden light to disappear without a trace in an instant.
Seeing Luo Chuan's vigilant expression, Master Jueming couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "I just wanted to test his identity and didn't want to hurt him. Why should I be so nervous?"
Luochuan said "heh" and said, "I can't trust you old bald man."
"Besides, Luochuan, you are really good at hiding," Master Jueming continued. "You claimed to have been seriously injured, but in fact you were not only alive and well, but you also broke through the eighth realm without making any noise.
"Except for Zhao Changying, none of our 'Five Saints' are your opponents now, right?"
"Zhao Changying is no match for me," Luo Chuan was not modest at all. "In fact, in front of me, you 'saints' are all juniors."
Master Jueming looked at Luo Chuan's celestial face, which showed little trace of the vicissitudes of time, and was a little unsure whether he was telling the truth or bragging.
"Why did you bring this young man to my mountain gate today?" He stopped chatting with Luo Chuan and got to the point.
"You made a mistake again," Luo Chuan shook his head slightly, seeming to say to Master Jueming with his eyes, "Old bald man, you have really bad taste." "I didn't bring him to you, but I accompanied him as a follower. The emperor has come to invite you to join our camp.
"You should feel honored that the emperor comes to visit you personally."
"Follower? Emperor?"
Master Jueming only felt that his head was getting more and more confused.
He suddenly couldn't figure out whether he was confused or whether the two people in front of him were crazy.
He observed the two people carefully again——
Gu Xu stood in the middle of the road with his hands behind his back. His eyes no longer had the greenness they once had, but had become mature and majestic that was inconsistent with his age. His eyes went around Master Jueming and around the tall mountain gate, as if he was inspecting the buildings in the temple.
Master Jueming suddenly had an inexplicable thought in his mind: all the secrets in the temple had been exposed to his eyes.
Look at Luochuan again——
As the "True Lord" of the eighth realm and the head of the exorcism department, he turned slightly sideways and stood next to Gu Xu, looking like a loyal attendant and bodyguard.
In Master Jueming's impression, Luo Chuan had always been a noble and arrogant person - he stayed on the observatory of the Exorcist Department all day long, and even when the royal relatives came to visit him, he didn't bother to get up to greet him.
Today's appearance is as if someone has taken away his body.
"Do you want to know why Emperor Tianxing had to put him to death?" Seeing Master Jueming's surprised look, Luo Chuan smiled slightly and said.
Master Jueming frowned, thoughtfully.
At this time, Gu Xu, who had been silent and seemed to be in a fugue, suddenly turned his head, looked Master Jueming squarely in the eyes and said:
"Can Master please explain to us what 'Unless hell is empty, I will never become a Buddha' means?"
Master Jueming's expression suddenly changed.
