Chapter 3: Allies

The revelation of the identity of "Wenchang Xingjun" seems to be more shocking than "Gu Xu is the reincarnation of Emperor Ziwei".

Although Emperor Ziwei is a high-ranking immortal, he is too far away from everyone after all, and there are many legends of popular immortals in the market.

However, as one of the "Five Sages" of Great Qi and the mainstay of the court, Luo Chuan, the head of the Exorcism Division, appeared in a secret organization like "Qing Ming", stood with the number one thief on the wanted list, and openly announced that he would oppose the Emperor of Great Qi.

This made everyone present unable to believe their eyes.

"Daqi is really going to change this day!" They couldn't help but sigh.

…………

As the saying goes, making decisions is always the business of a few.

The so-called conference, whether it is the court meeting of Daqi or the plenary meeting of Qingming, is more to make the results that have been discussed public.

Today is no exception.

As early as a day ago, Gu Xu had already made a plan 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 Great Wilderness hanging on the wall, his eyes were as deep as an ancient well, making people unable to see through his true thoughts.

Hearing his words, Luo Chuan took a step forward and stretched out his hand to point to the northwest of the map: "Emperor, that group of monks in Lingshan Temple is hiding some little-known secrets, and I happen to be the one who knows. I could go there myself and invite them to join us. ”

Gu Xu nodded.

"Rather than a rabble, we need strong people who can take the lead. Compared to those little monks who don't beat me, I care more about Jueming's attitude. ”

"I'll try to convince Jueming. But perhaps the presence of the Emperor himself is needed to give him hope of victory in this war. ”

"Yes."

"Xu Man of the Sword Pavilion is currently unclear. But her former lover Hu Yun became the 'ghost attendant' of the Ghost King of Bishan. I'm sure she wants to change this ghost-infested world. It's just that I'm not sure if she has the courage to go against the Great Qi Court and Taishang Haotian. ”

"Sword Pavilion ......" Gu Xu silently recited the name of this place, and was a little distracted for a while.

"The emperor thinks there's a problem?" Seeing that Gu Xu didn't reply for a long time, Luo Chuan bowed his head slightly and asked respectfully.

"No," Gu Xu shook his head slightly, then stretched out his finger and pointed to his chest, "This young man's obsession with his fiancée is too deep. After taking possession of his body, it was inevitable that it would be affected somewhat.

"Not a big deal, though."

"And the alliance with the North—"

"-I will personally go to Zhao Yan to discuss." Gu Xu said lightly.

Luo Chuan looked at his calm and waveless eyes, and his heart fluctuated for a while, and he couldn't help but sigh that all these years of hard work had not been in vain, and the past emperor had indeed returned.

…………

Lingshan Temple, known as one of the "Three Great Sects of Great Qi", is located between the rolling mountains and mountains, surrounded by towering trees and cliffs, as if isolated from the world, and can not smell the slightest breath of fireworks in the world.

Only a narrow, rugged, mossy path winds through the mountains, connecting the temple to the outside world.

Gu Xu and Luo Chuan passed through the spatial passage and appeared directly at the mountain gate of Lingshan Temple.

From a distance, this mountain gate was just an extremely simple and shabby firewood, but when it approached, it suddenly became solemn. Above the mountain gate, there is a huge plaque with golden characters, flashing with dazzling light, and the three big characters of "Lingshan Temple" are written.

On both sides of the gate squatted two tall and mighty stone lions, their eyes bulging, staring at the two uninvited guests who suddenly emerged from the cracks in the space.

Luo Chuan reached out and touched the stone lion's head, and said to it: "Tell your abbot, Luo Chuan, the head of the exorcism department, is waiting for him outside the door." ”

The stone lion's eyes flashed with a golden light.

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 robe, holding a golden Zen staff, and his face was covered with deep wrinkles.

Seeing this Zen staff in Master Jueming's hand, the back of Gu Xu's head involuntarily began to ache faintly-

Not long ago, when he was fleeing with the Snow Maiden, it was Master Jueming who manipulated the Zen staff and smashed him in the head.

If he hadn't worn a "stand-in bracelet", I'm afraid he would have died a long time ago.

What was once a pursuer has now become an ally to fight for.

Gu Xu couldn't help but sigh that this world was 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 gaze first swept over Luo Chuan, and then stayed on Gu Xu for a long time.

"I really can't imagine that you dare to take the initiative to come here to find me under such circumstances."

As he spoke, a ball of golden light appeared from his fingertips, slowly flying towards Gu Xu.

Gu Xu didn't have time to respond.

Luo Chuan, who was next to him, stepped forward and waved his hand gently, as if wiping off the impurity on the table, causing this 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 want to test his identity, I don't want to hurt him, why be so nervous?" ”

Luo Chuan said "heh" and said, "I can't believe you old bald man."

"In addition, Luo Chuan, you can really hide," Master Jueming continued, "claiming to be seriously injured to the outside world, in fact, not only was he alive, but he also broke through the eighth realm quietly.

"Our 'Five Sages', except for Zhao Changying, shouldn't be your opponent now, right?"

"Zhao Changying is not my opponent either," 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 immortal face with few vicissitudes of time, and he was a little unsure whether he was telling the truth or bragging.

"What did you do with this young man to my mountain gate today?" He stopped gossiping with Luo Chuan and got straight to the point.

"You're wrong again," Luo Chuan shook his head slightly, as if he was looking at Master Jueming to say, "Old bald, your vision is really bad," "It's not that I brought him to you, but that I, as an entourage, accompanied the emperor to invite you to join our camp."

"You should be honored that the emperor is here in person."

"Retinue? Emperor? ”

Master Jueming only felt that his head was becoming more and more confused.

He suddenly couldn't figure out whether he was confused or the two people in front of him were crazy.

He looked at the two men again—

Gu Xu stood in the middle of the road with his hands behind his back, his eyes no longer had the youth they once had, and they had become old and majestic that did not match his age. His gaze circled around Master Jueming and around the tall mountain gate, as if he was examining the buildings in the temple.

Master Jueming had an inexplicable thought in his mind for a while: all the secrets in the temple had been exposed to his gaze.

Look at Luo Chuan again-

As the Eighth Realm "True Monarch" and the head of the Exorcism Division, he turned slightly sideways at this moment, standing next to Gu Xu, looking like a loyal attendant and bodyguard.

In Master Jueming's impression, Luo Chuan has always been a high-minded and proud person - staying on the stargazing platform of the Exorcism Division all day long, and the emperor's relatives came to visit, and he didn't bother to get up to greet him.

Today, it looks like someone has taken it away.

"Do you want to know why Emperor Tianxing had to put him to death?" Seeing Master Jueming's surprised appearance, Luo Chuan smiled slightly and said.

Master Jueming frowned, thoughtful.

At this time, Gu Xu, who had been silent and seemed to be in a fugue, suddenly turned his head and looked into Master Jueming's eyes and said:

"Could you please explain to us what it means to 'hell is not empty, and you will not become a Buddha'?"

Master Jueming's face changed suddenly.
