Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 148 Fly to Laoshan
What Gu Xu was facing at this time was the most difficult multiple-choice question in his life.

Shangguan Jin, Chen Yanping, Du Jingjing.

Choose one of three.

The first two may be able to become a powerful support for his trip to Laoshan.

But Chen's clan is too deep.

Shangguan Jin thought too deeply.

And no matter who he chooses, it will inevitably make the other party feel dissatisfied.

As for Du Jingjing...

Although Gu Xu admired this girl who was obsessed with Taoism.

But he has to admit that if he goes with her, she will most likely become his burden.

That might sound callous.

But when it comes to such important matters related to his future practice and even his life, he has to think about himself first, but he has no obligation to be someone else's bodyguard.

He pondered for a moment and replied, "To be honest, I'm still used to acting alone."

In case of indecision, slipping is the best policy.

Although he has always been keen on hugging his thighs during missions, if he can lie down and win, he will never fly.

But it's obviously easier than fighting alone with these guys all day long, fighting wits and courage, and being involved in the undercurrent of the big Qi dignitaries' struggle.

At this moment, he had to sigh silently: Shi Xiaohan's thigh is still comfortable to hug.

She has a simple personality and is very easy to coax. Apart from greedy him, she has no bad intentions.

How do you look like this group of guys in front of you?

The routines are getting deeper and deeper.

…………

Hearing what he said, Shangguan Jin smiled slightly, without showing any anger, but just said "I'm waiting for you to change your mind", then turned and left, and soon began to chat enthusiastically with other people.

Chen Yanping also expressed kindly that even if Gu Xu refused to cooperate, he still wanted to make friends with Gu Xu.

Only "Qingluan" Du Jingjing clearly showed a disappointed expression on her face, but she still forced a smile on her face and said to Gu Xu: "It's okay, I respect the decision of fellow Taoist."

……

Today is the first collective meeting of the reserve members of the "Shenji Battalion" in reality.

Most people were very excited and had a great time chatting.

Or they discussed the previous battles in the "Land of Discourse", or talked about the possible dangers in the Laoshan ruins, or discussed the next cooperation and distribution of harvest.

For a while, the voices in the Yamen lobby were noisy, like a market.

When many small officials passed by the lobby door, they couldn't help but stop and look into the house, wondering what happened here, and it became so lively.

But several others have remained silent.

For example, the fourth prince Xiao Shangzhen - he is well versed in the principle of "talking too much will make mistakes" taught by his sister. He keeps silent and keeps aloof to prevent others from seeing the clues of his identity.

For example, "Bi Fang" Chu Wei, who is a ninth-rank petty official—after being scolded severely by the fourth prince in public, he felt extremely inferior, standing in the corner of the room with his head down, without saying a word.

There is also "White Tiger" Jiange Su Xiao——As a real sword idiot, he just felt that the conversation of everyone present was extremely boring, so he closed his eyes and deduced various sword moves in his mind; Before I knew it, I had a new understanding of the swordsmanship inherited by Jiange.

……

About half an hour passed.

Qianhu Shilei, the Exorcist Department of Laizhou Prefecture, suddenly slammed the table and stood up.

The people present immediately fell silent.

The Yamen lobby suddenly became silent.

At this time, Shi Lei said that the distance between Laizhou Prefecture and Laoshan Mountain is hundreds of miles, passing through Pingdu Prefecture, Guchengji, Jimo and other cities.

Everyone will take the floating airship specially prepared by the headquarters of the Exorcist Division to their destination.

"Floating airship!"

When they heard the news, all the people present - especially those monks who were born as civilians and of low status like "Qingluan" Du Jingjing and "Bifang" Chu Wei, all opened their eyes wide involuntarily.

They knew that the "Flying Boat" was a precious magic weapon that only saint-level monks could refine. It could be used to transport people in batches in the air, and there were very few of them in the entire Daqi Dynasty.

In the past hundreds of years, it is usually used in large-scale wars against ghosts.

It can only be used with the approval of a big man like Luo Sishou.

It can be seen from this that the headquarters of the Exorcist Division attaches great importance to their exploration of the Laoshan ruins.

"Gu Daoyou, do you know what the energy source of the 'floating boat' is?" At this moment, Shangguan Jin suddenly appeared next to Gu Xu again and whispered to him.

"Sunshine?" Gu Xu remembered that he had seen the answer to this question in a book.

"That's right," Shangguan Jin replied with a smile, "It can only be used during the day and cannot be used at night—so tonight, we need to spend the night in Guchengji, and we can reach Laoshan tomorrow.

"Also because of the characteristics of the 'floating airship', when the 'long night' comes, our war with ghosts will become more difficult than before."

"Long night..."

Gu Xu hasn't heard this word for a long time.

At this moment, he remembered that the purpose of the creation of the "Shenji Battalion" was to deal with the frightening "Long Night" in the legend.

Chu Fengge once told him that the "Long Night" would come within three years.

At that time, the sun will no longer rise, the sky and the earth will be dark, the evil spirit will become more intense, and the strength of the ghosts will be greatly enhanced.

Now, a "Snow Girl" who has been promoted in strength has almost caused the Qingzhou government to suffer.

When the "Long Night" comes, I am afraid that the entire Daqi Dynasty will face an extremely difficult test.

…………

More than a dozen young monks from the "Shenji Battalion" reserve team followed Shi Lei to the wilderness outside Laizhou Prefecture, lined up, and boarded a "floating boat" one by one.

Reflecting the morning sun, the "floating airship" glowed with golden light, like a burning golden flame, soaring from the ground to the sky.

On the first night, we arrived at Guchengji as planned.

The next afternoon, we stopped at a place ten miles away from Laoshan Mountain.

Going forward is the danger zone.

Because of the restriction left by Kongxuan Sanren, the "floating airship" cannot directly fly into it.

In that area, there are several villages that were massacred 23 years ago.

Today, these villages are deserted, except for many tapirs who are keen to eat human brains, and they seem to want to keep all visitors out of the range of Laoshan.

"Are you ready?" Shi Lei stood at the front of the line and asked the young monks.

"Ready." Everyone replied.

"Then come with me!" Shi Lei said as he took the lead and walked towards the restricted area, "I can only send you to the foot of Laoshan Mountain. You need to go the rest of the way by yourself."
