In the past year and a half, Wang Wei's analysis of the form of annihilation has been revised several times in the World Annihilation Progress Report, and the original speculation about the overall process of annihilation has remained unchanged, but it is slightly different.

At the time of annihilation, the first places to disappear were sparsely populated and barren land, places where large populations gathered, spiritual mineral fields, and densely forested river valley plains, which remained largely unchanged.

The survey team believes that it may be related to the density of spiritual power. Therefore, their advice is to try not to leave the big city, do not leave the Southern Wu Prefecture with the spirit stone veins, and even if you really want to travel, try to go to a wooded place.

At this moment, Yuan Zai asked, Gu Zuo thought about it for a long time, and decided to tell him the truth: "I guess, maybe this world is about to be destroyed." ”

The process of world annihilation is gradually accelerating, and many things cannot be concealed in the eyes of smart people.

It is also time to gradually liberalize the right to know and let more forces be involved.

Yuan Zai looked at Gu Zuo in a daze, and said, "So the first emperor and Niangniang soared? So the Chongxuan Department fled with Zhongnan Mountain? So the Taishi asked the court to collect materials, and he planned to follow the example of the Chongxuan Department?"

Gu Zuo nodded: "That's right." ”

Yuan Zai smiled bitterly: "Actually, the general and Yang Xiang have almost guessed it, so this year, we have spared no effort to collect the materials on the list given by the Taishi...... Is there hope?"

Gu Zuo said: "No one knows if there is hope, but if you don't do it, there is no hope." ”

Yuan Zai asked: "If you succeed in following the example of Chongxuan, how many people can you take away?"

Gu Zuo said: "It won't be too much, about twenty or thirty thousand people, but no matter how many, there will be one ticket for you, and each ticket can be accompanied by five people." ”

As he spoke, Gu Zuo took out a list from his arms, on which there were about a hundred names starting from the Son of Heaven, Yuan Zai's name was in the top ten, and the back was marked with "five", which meant that he could take five people with him.

Looking further, the first is King Qi, the second is the Son of Heaven, marked "ten" respectively, and the next ones are marked "five", the third is Gao Lishi, the fourth is Chen Xuanli, the fifth is Mrs. Yueguo, and then Yang Guozhong, Mrs. Qiuguo, Li Fuguo, and then down is himself, and even Fang Xuan and Shouwang are ranked behind themselves.

This list is not sorted by official position, it is obviously based on Gu Taishi's personal preferences as the sorting criteria, such as Du Fu, Gao Shi, Cen Shen, Wang Changling, Yan Zhenqing and other minor officials, all of whom are in the top 20, followed by Li Siye, Guo Ziyi, Ge Shuhan, etc. In this regard, Yuan Zai is still quite pleased.

At the same time, there are no names and surnames of Wang Wei, the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, Yang Jian, the secretary of the Zhang, He Luguang, the envoy of Yizhou Soldiers and Horses, Feng Changqing, the envoy of Hedong Jiedu, and Gao Xianzhi who stayed in the eastern capital.

Gu Zuo said: "In this matter, you can discuss with the general, Yang Xiang, and Li Fuguo, except for the Son of Heaven, you can't tell the sixth person, I need you to stabilize the political situation of the court as much as possible, and the disaster relief that should be relieved, and the people who should be stabilized should be calmed down." In addition, there are some things here that I need to help me search. ”

Yuan Zai took the list and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Taishi, the lower officials will do it desperately!"

It would be good for this world to be able to live for one more day, although it was meaningless to the vast majority of people, but for Nanwu Prefecture, who was doing his best to refine and escape from the magic circle, it was a matter of life and death. There are also some materials that have not been collected so far, and a wider force must be mobilized.

At this point, it would be a great waste to ignore the imperial court, not to mention that he was originally going to take away these people on the list, regardless of ability, talent, or even character. Gu Zuo always believes that if you want to collide with the style of Datang, the above people are indispensable.

The simplest example, Gu Zuo also knows that Yang Guozhong is a traitor, but without Yang Guozhong's Datang, is it still Datang?

Before saying goodbye, Gu Zuo told him as usual: "Don't delay on the road, fly over directly, really want to stay, and also go to big cities like Yizhou, as for no one like mountains and rivers, don't go again." ”

After a pause, he said, "I will contact you regularly, and once the array is refined and the materials are sufficient, I will inform you to go south." But until then, don't leak it out!"

Yuan Zai returned to Chang'an, Gu Zuo soon ushered in Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi, according to the rules of the imperial court, they could not leave the residence at will, but after all, they were a high-ranking person, even if they didn't go anywhere, they just sat in the study, and the various documents and recitals they received could make them have a keener perception of the current situation than others.

They arrived in Southern Wuzhou one after another, and each brought a large number of spirit stones, Feng Changqing brought 80,000 pieces, and Gao Xianzhi brought 70,000 pieces.

Gu Zuo collected the spirit stones, and very frankly brought them into the heavy warehouse where the spirit stones were stored in the South Second Peak. In the deep underground of the cave, in the wide warehouse, there are layers of shelves, and on each shelf are neatly stacked with spirit stone boxes. These spirit stone boxes were left over from the Chongxuan Director An Taoist Temple, and they were used to store spirit stones to facilitate the counting, and they were all brought to Nanwu Prefecture by Gu Zuo.

Gu Zuo placed the fifteen boxes that had just been filled on a row of empty shelves on the lower floor, and said to the two military centers: "With the addition of your fifteen, one hundred and twenty boxes of spirit stones have been stored, totaling one million and two hundred thousand. ”

These two generals had never seen so many spirit stones, and they couldn't help but feel dizzy, and they were stunned for a while.

Gu Zuo continued: "Long before the Chongxuan Department was sealed, I began to consciously reserve spirit stones, and after the sealing, I increased the intensity of refining and accumulation, there are two ore holes in the veins of Nanwu Prefecture, and last year they took the risk to lay down the fourth and fifth mines, you also know that this practice is harmful to the veins, and it is very dangerous." Fortunately, God bless Huaixian Pavilion, everything went well, and last year's annual output exceeded 250,000. Since you have joined the Huaixian Pavilion, you should have an understanding of the Huaixian Pavilion, our Huaixian Pavilion, now the biggest family background, is here. ”

Opening the boxes one by one, and taking the two Yuanying masters to see what the situation of the millions of spirit stones was, Gu Zuo asked solemnly, "Do you know the use of my reserve spirit stones?"

Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Follow the Chongxuan Administration?"

Gu Zuo nodded: "By now, you should also see that there is something wrong in this world, continue to stay here, everyone will die, therefore, I want to take everyone together to find a way to live, this is what I am doing - refining the array disk." The refining of the array plate is in full swing, and in another half a year, the two of you will have to join in. After the formation disk is completed, it will break through the boundary with the power of the large array, and it is estimated that it will take 150,000 spirit stones to launch a large array. ”

"How many times do we need to activate it?" asked Gao Xianzhi.

Gu Zuo shook his head: "I don't know, the only thing I am sure of is that the more the merrier." The Chongxuan Department has taken away enough spirit stones to be activated a hundred times, and we can only activate them eight times now, which is a bit small, and I can't guarantee that we will be able to send everyone to a safe place after the large array is activated. ”
