"Oh." Lu Jing pretended to think for a while, but finally had to admit with shame, "I didn't listen well when I was in the academy."
"…………"
"Forget it." Guo Shouhuai said, "You and Mr. Qi did a good job in the northwest. Not only did you solve the strange object case in Shizhou, but you also brought back the golden-scaled secret carp.
"Now that the secret power between heaven and earth is getting thinner, it is becoming more and more difficult for practitioners to absorb the secret power according to the previous cultivation methods. Mr. Qi is studying how to use those carps to provide secret power for practitioners, and some progress has been made at the moment. .
"Once he succeeds, he will be able to alleviate the negative impact of the decline of secret power to a certain extent. So the two of you can be considered to have made great contributions to Si Tianjian. What do you want?"
Lu Jing was not polite when he heard this, "If there are extra flying swords in the office, you can give me some."
Guo Shouhuai frowned, "I heard that you were looking for flying swords some time ago, but don't you already have two flying swords on you?"
"It's three, and I found the sword. Now I have four flying swords."
"…………"
"No one has practiced so many flying swords in one go from ancient times to the present. Besides, you know the current situation well. Even if Lord Qi's research is successful, the Golden Scaled Mysterious Carp can only cure the symptoms, not the root cause.
"Once there is no secret power between heaven and earth, then those golden-scaled secret carps themselves will not be able to generate secret power."
"I know, but I still want the flying sword." Lu Jing said.
Guo Shouhuai nodded, "Okay, then I'll give you one, no... two flying swords. In addition, from today on, you will be a second-level supervisor."
Seeing Lu Jing's insistence, Guo Shouhuai didn't say anything else. He was the young eunuch of Si Tianjian and had too many things to deal with. Giving Lu Jing advice on how to practice was just a matter of course and not forced.
However, Lu Jing was quite surprised. Not long after he became a supervisor, he was promoted to the second level. Is this too fast?
What are the benefits of the second level?
Lu Jing thought about it for a while, and it seemed that apart from a higher salary, more access to information, and more expedited investigations, it seemed that it was not much different from the first-level surveillance.
On the contrary, the mysterious object cases that I came into contact with in the future may be more difficult. Thinking about it this way, wouldn't I still be at a loss?
Fortunately, he got two flying swords, which gave Lu Jing some comfort.
At least recently, he no longer has to worry about secret power.
After finishing the gossip, Guo Shouhuai finally got down to business.
"Tell me everything you know about that dragon."
So Lu Jing also put away those messy thoughts and carefully explained what had just happened in Wujiang City.
Guo Shouhuai listened quietly and did not comment immediately. After a while, he explained, "Mr. Ji has a strange object in his hand that can make him wander."
"Wandering?"
"Yes, he wanders between heaven and earth with his soul, not bound by the body. In other words, he can go wherever he wants. But I still didn't expect that he was so bold and dared to run into the secret realm and even reached it. At the deepest level, the danger to the soul in that place is no less than that of the body."
Lu Jing was concerned about another thing, "He can travel in a fugue? This is too foul."
When Lu Jing thought of a human satellite hanging in the sky and patrolling everywhere, Lu Jing felt that this was a bit of a hammer. It was equivalent to opening up the entire map on the other side's side through the fog of war.
Their every move is clearly visible to their opponents, so wouldn't it mean that all their strategies are in vain.
Guo Shouhuai seemed to know what Lu Jing was thinking. He shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. He can only wander for an hour on the second day of February every year. The speed of his wandering soul is not too exaggerated. At most, it is the same as that of a flying bird, and the wandering speed is not too exaggerated. There’s nothing you can do when you’re there.”
Lu Jing was slightly relieved when he heard this. It seemed that on the second day of February, it would be best for him not to do anything and just find a place to be a couch potato for the day.
If Mr. Ji is willing to peep, he can do it as he pleases.
"But this doesn't prove that what he told is the truth, at least not all of it may be true." Lu Jing thought for a while and added.
"You are right." Guo Shouhuai said, "So I will verify this matter again."
"Verification, how to verify? We don't have anyone here who can travel." Lu Jing said unexpectedly.
"Yeah, but we can send people to the center of the secret realm."
"But hasn't anyone except Mr. Ji ever gotten there?"
"It didn't happen before, but it's different now. The decline of the secret power actually makes it less dangerous."
After Guo Shouhuai finished speaking, he found Lu Jing peeking at his severed arm.
He didn't hide it, "We were too anxious at the time, in order to find out whether the decline of the secret power was accidental or large-scale. We explored four secret realms in one go, and they were all medium-sized or above secret realms. We were exhausted and there was almost no rest in between, but Still went a long way.
"If you choose the smallest secret place, be prepared, and wait for a while before setting off, you will still have a high chance of reaching the center.
Guo Shouhuai spoke firmly, "We have no choice. If we don't understand our enemy, it's impossible to find a way to deal with it. Whether it's a dragon or something else, as long as we can find its weakness, we can Win this battle.”
…………
Facts have proved that Si Tianjian is not the only one who is ready for war.
When Lu Jing returned to Yuzhou, he received news from Zhou Yu that Zhaozong had rebelled.
Or to be more precise, the resurrected Zhaozong claimed that his nephew, now the official family of Chen, and his father were both thieves of the country.
Not only had he ordered his henchmen to shoot him while hunting, but he also killed the orphans and widows he left behind, and finally took that position surrounded by a bunch of treacherous officials and rebels.
Fortunately, as the destined emperor, Zhu Zhen was protected by destiny and survived being shot by an arrow. He was later rescued by a woodcutter. It was only because the false emperor and his son were so powerful that they secretly sent people to hunt him down, so he had to remain anonymous. Decades.
He had originally planned to end it like this but ended up dying. Unexpectedly, Zhu Jie went against the grain and aroused the anger of heaven and the people. He saw that the people were displaced and had no food to eat.
However, the old Zhu Zhen had to come out to clean up the mess, reorganize the country, and save the world from collapse. He said that he did not care who sat on the chair, he only hoped to stabilize the situation as soon as possible and quell the banditry. Let everyone have food in their bowls.
In order to realize this simple wish, Zhu Zhen called on the heroes and people with lofty ideals in the world to join him in overthrowing the brutal rule of his nephew.
As soon as this payment was sent out, it immediately shocked the world.
Even if the three prefectures and sixteen states immediately responded with troops, needless to say, these were obviously people who had secretly taken refuge with Zhu Zhen. At this time, it was just a change from light to dark. Although compared to the vast territory of Dachen, this small amount of territory and people It's not fatal.
But the spark has been ignited, and if you are not careful, it will quickly start a prairie fire.
At this turbulent moment, Lu Jing was studying the walls of his earthen fort.
