Chapter 108: Questions and Answers
"Gu Xiaoyou, when you come out of the Lu family's old mansion, you must have a lot of questions in your heart," Luo Chuan, the head of the Exorcism Division, paused for a moment and continued to say in an amiable tone, "Now, you can just ask me." Whatever is convenient for answering, I will answer you. ”
Gu Xu pondered for a moment and asked, "Lord Si Shou, you should have known a long time ago that Tang Hui didn't die fifteen years ago, but stayed in the Lu Mansion all along, right?" ”
Gu Xu's question was very straightforward.
After all, as a saint who is proficient in the art of heavenly deduction, Luo Sishou is known as "omniscient of everything in the world"; And Chu Fengge also said that Luo Sishou has been paying attention to the situation in the Lu family's murderous mansion through the "divine machine token" on their bodies.
Everything Gu Xu saw and heard in the Lu Mansion basically couldn't hide from Luo Sishou's eyes.
It is undoubtedly a very stupid act to hide in front of the head of the department.
Luo Chuan nodded and said, "I do know. And the emperor also knows about it. ”
Hearing this, Gu Xu couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly.
Last night, when the battle was at its most anxious, the "Qincha Token" carried by Tang Hui suddenly shattered, causing Tang Hui's mentality to collapse and give up resistance—otherwise, Gu Xu would definitely not be able to deal with an enemy three realms higher than himself so easily.
At that time, Gu Xu had already secretly guessed in his heart that Tang Hui's death must have something to do with the Great Qi Emperor.
Luo Chuan's words confirmed his guess.
"So ......"
"Gu Xiaoyou, you have to understand that Tang Hui used to be a ferocious and cunning dog who did a lot of things for the emperor that were inconvenient for him," Luo Chuan smiled and interrupted what Gu Xu was about to say, "But now, the emperor doesn't need this dog anymore - even, the existence of this dog will bring him a lot of trouble."
"So, he wants to borrow your hand to get rid of Tang Hui."
Gu Xu was silent.
What Luo Chuan said did not exceed his expectations.
What surprised Gu Xu was actually Luo Chuan's attitude.
He clearly felt that this chief did not seem to have the respect that a courtier should have for the Son of Great Qi - on the contrary, he also talked about the emperor's inconvenient things with others, without any scruples.
"However, Gu Xiaoyou, I have to solemnly remind you of one thing," Luo Chuan saw that Gu Xu didn't speak for the time being, so he continued, "In front of outsiders, don't mention that you saw Tang Hui in the murderous mansion - you just said that you used the 'Shocking Pen' to solve the resentment in the Lu family's murderous mansion." ”
"I understand." Gu Xu nodded in agreement.
He knew why the head of Luo Si would make such a request-
On the one hand, the Emperor of Great Qi wanted to leave a good reputation for Tang Hui and avoid being considered by the world as "the bird is hidden in the bow, and the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked", so that no one dares to be his dog in the future;
On the other hand, the fact that "Tang Hui has survived to this day" will undoubtedly make everyone suspect that the Lu murder house case is not a simple haunted case, but has another hidden story.
The Emperor clearly didn't want to let the old things go on in another way.
Then, Gu Xu pondered for a few seconds and asked a question that he had been very worried about: "So, Lord Si Shou, will the emperor suspect that I know something that I shouldn't know in the process of performing this mission?" ”
"Don't worry," Luo Chuan replied with a smile, "I will use the Heavenly Machine Technique to vouch for you, you are just doing things according to orders, and killing Tang Hui is just to protect yourself, and you don't know anything about the old days."
"Although the emperor's cultivation realm is higher than mine, his attainments in the Heavenly Machine Technique are far inferior to mine. Keep you safe, I can do it. ”
Gu Xu took a deep breath.
Luo Chuan is so shocking that he can almost be regarded as "bullying the king".
He couldn't figure out what kind of attitude Luo Chuan had towards the Great Qi Emperor now—could it be that there was an unknown contradiction between them?
But with Gu Xu's current strength and status, he can't get involved in that level of dispute for the time being.
All he could do now was to hug Lord Si Shou's thighs tightly, strive to get more resources, and cultivate to the seventh realm as soon as possible.
…………
After thinking for a moment, Gu Xu asked another question that he had been curious about for a long time: "Why does Lord Si Shou value me so much?" ”
At this moment, Gu Xu thought of many things in his mind: for example, when he participated in the promotion assessment, Luo Sishou specially sent his cronie Chu Fengge to the remote Yishui County; For example, he asked himself by name to solve the Lu murder house case, so that he had the opportunity to get the "Amazing Pen", and let Chu Fengge, a famous genius of the Great Qi Dynasty, be his bodyguard; For another example, in order to prevent the emperor from being suspicious of himself, he did not hesitate to use the "Heavenly Machine" to deceive the emperor......
Even if he is a cultivation genius with a rare three-grade vision, he will not be able to achieve this level!
Luo Sishou smiled faintly and replied, "It's very simple. Because your cultivation potential is actually far more than the three grades. For a cultivation genius like you, who is rare in a hundred years, of course, you have to take special care. ”
"Far more than three products?" Gu Xu frowned slightly.
He clearly remembered that when he was conducting the qualification test in the Yamen of the Yishui Exorcism Division, the "Tianyan Stone" displayed the three-grade vision "Blazing Sun Light", and it was certified by Chu Fengge's two entourages.
"Gu Xiaoyou, you only know that the 'Tianyan Stone' shone brightly on the day you took the assessment," Luo Chuan said, "But you don't know that when Chu Fengge's entourage moved the 'Tianyan Stone' back, the 'Tianyan Stone' was broken into pieces and could no longer be used in the future." ”
"Broken into pieces? Why? ”
"Because the 'Heavenly Evolution Stone' tests a cultivator's qualifications, relying on its internal magic circle that can deduce the Heavenly Machine," Luo Chuan explained, "However, your cultivation potential has exceeded the upper limit of what it can deduce. As a result, its magic circle collapsed, and the 'Celestial Stone' was damaged. ”
"I see." Gu Xu muttered.
Then he raised his head and asked Luo Chuan solemnly, "Lord Si Shou, how many grades of my true cultivation potential do I have?" ”
"What can make the 'Tianyan Stone' magic circle collapse is only the first-grade qualification that only exists in legends." Luo Sishou replied in a flat tone.
"Yipin......" Gu Xu silently sighed in his heart, "It turns out that the talent I exchanged for my life is not so bad after all......"
Before he knew it, his eyes were getting brighter.
If all of what Luo Chuan said was true, then the possibility of him cultivating to the seventh realm before the age of thirty would no longer be as slim as before.
Deep down, he was suddenly filled with hope for the future.
