Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

"No, no, Master Chen, that's not the case." Chen Jisheng's aggressive tone made the soldier panic for a moment, "The emperor is just worried about your safety, he has no other intentions..."

The soldiers knew clearly that the elder named Chen in front of them had an extraordinary relationship with the emperor. He could be called the emperor's real and unnamed teacher, and he was deeply respected and loved by the emperor.

In the knowledge of everyone in the rebel army, if someone offends the emperor himself, the emperor may be tolerant and laugh it off; but if someone offends Mr. Chen, then the emperor will most likely cut him into pieces with his own hands after knowing about it.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not blaming you," Chen Jisheng suddenly smiled and softened his tone, "I just want you to help me tell Gu Xu that after joining the rebel army, I, Chen, and other soldiers under his command no difference.

"I receive his salary and receive his protection, so naturally I have to solve his problems and go into battle to kill the enemy.

"You have to tell him that as a king who is destined to achieve great things for all eternity, when he makes decisions, he should put aside personal feelings and treat all those who follow him equally. He must not change the duties that should be performed by me because of close relationships. Obligations are passed on to others.”

After hearing Chen Jisheng's words, the soldier finally understood why a reincarnated god like the emperor would hold such an elder in high esteem for his cultivation ability.

Mr. Chen, he can really lead by example and be selfless.

However, after receiving the emperor's order, the soldiers still stopped in front of Chen Jisheng, and even took a step forward to grab Chen Jisheng's sleeves, refusing to let him leave.

"You are loyal to the emperor," Chen Jisheng looked at the upright soldier and commented with a smile, "Don't worry, I will explain it for you in front of the emperor, and he will not blame you."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was only a "click" sound. Chen Jisheng cut off his sleeves with his true essence, and then controlled the "Worthy Sword", which turned into a blue lightning and quickly disappeared from the end of the soldier's field of vision.

In the process of flying towards the enemy array, Chen Jisheng's mood was particularly complicated.

Why didn't he understand that Gu Xu never assigned him any combat tasks, and even sent people to prevent him from going to the battlefield, in order to protect him and prevent him from being in danger.

However, Gu Xu has not appeared in public in the six northwest cities for several days, and he was not even present for such an important battle as today.

Gu Xu has never been an irresponsible person.

Chen Jisheng guessed that Gu Xu was either at a critical stage of practice or encountered an insurmountable trouble - no matter which of the situations, he needed the help of people around him.

"I have to help him."

At this time, in Chen Jisheng's eyes, Gu Xu was no longer a reincarnated god with great powers, but the young official in Yishui County who needed his care.

In another corner of the Liangzhou City Tower, a beautiful young woman in a green dress looked at the large number of Qi monks and soldiers coming in front, and recited complex incantations.

Her voice was soft at first, completely obscured by the din of the battlefield.

But the enemies within her sight began to feel a strange chill rising from their bodies. Their steps became sluggish, and their bodies began to experience spasms, as if bound by some invisible force.

As her chanting became louder and louder, strange powers exploded on the enemies. Their bodies trembled as if they were pierced by invisible sharp blades, and blood bloomed on the battlefield like red flowers. .

Although some relatively strong monks did not die immediately, they felt that the true energy in their bodies was quickly dissipating.

This woman is Shangguan Jin.

She has been studying hard for several months since Luochuan handed her the yellowed booklet about the art of witchcraft in southern Xinjiang this spring.

As of today, I have entered the room.

The louse voodoo that eats people's internal organs, the golden silkworm voodoo that makes people bleed, the poisonous voodoo that causes hallucinations and mental madness, the swollen voodoo that makes people explode and die... She can control them freely.

It has to be said that when a large number of Gu insects are prepared in advance, the killing efficiency of witch Gu is much higher than that of swords.

"If a person who cultivates Gu is ruthless and extinguishes his nature, he will get twice the result with half the effort."

This is a sentence written in a booklet on the art of witchcraft.

Although Shangguan Jin had been scheming with others in the Da Qi court and helping Luo Chuan do many cruel and heartless things, she had always firmly believed in her heart that she was not a truly heartless person.

But she also knew very well that Luochuan expected her to become such a person - he took her out of the simple inn and handed her the Tianyue Sword and the art of witchcraft, hoping that she could become The sharp blade in the shadow of Emperor Ziwei does dirty things for him and bears the sin of hatred.

This allowed Emperor Ziwei to stand under the light and enjoy the reputation of being kind and wise.

In the past, she thought Gu Xu was really the reincarnation of Zi Wei.

Because of her unknown feelings, she willingly obeyed Luo Chuan's arrangements, put aside her pride, her pursuit of power and glory, and prepared for Emperor Ziwei's career.

At that time, her progress in practicing witchcraft was not very fast.

But later, when she realized that Emperor Ziwei was not reincarnated but had taken his body, her heart felt barren, but her skills in witchcraft and Gu were unknowingly advancing by leaps and bounds.

Before, she would never have dared to imagine that she could rely on witchcraft to cause such a large-scale killing in a short period of time.

However, at this moment, seeing the enemy's lives disappearing one after another, she felt no emotion at all.

No joy, no restlessness, no pity.

…………

The battle was at a stalemate when neither the saints nor the strong men took action.

Although the number of rebels is small.

But recently, the paper mannequin assembly line has produced large quantities of talismans, and they are all the latest versions developed by Gu Xu, and each soldier is equipped with a stack.

It can be said that it has an absolute advantage in "ammunition equipment".

In addition, Gu Xu has made drastic reforms in the six northwest cities during this period. Using the broad vision of the "Astrolabe", he promoted many capable officials and punished many corrupt officials.

This made everyone under his command understand that their every move could not escape the eyes of the emperor.

Any behavior that neglects official duties, is corrupt or derelict in duties, or harms people's livelihood will be discovered by the emperor.

But at the same time, as long as you do things down-to-earth and fulfill your duties, even if you are unknown and unknown, you will be rewarded by the emperor.

As we all know, immediate motivation is the key to stimulating one's work effectiveness.

Under Gu Xu's rule, the six ancient cities exuded unprecedented vitality, running rapidly like a brand-new machine, and everyone was full of energy.

Because they know that as long as they work hard, they can really change their destiny.

The same is true on the battlefield.

From practitioners to ordinary soldiers, everyone is fighting desperately to kill the enemy regardless of their lives.

This incentive measure constructed from the fundamental system is much more effective than the temporary improvisation of the Da Qi Dynasty.

Seeing that Qi's army was gradually showing a disadvantage on the battlefield, the Imperial Master's expression became more solemn and he couldn't help but said to Master Jueming beside him: "Perhaps it's time for us to take action."

"But their saints and true kings haven't shown up yet," Master Jueming said expressionlessly, "Maybe they are hiding somewhere to ambush us, waiting for us to take action first."

Ask yourself, if it were not forced by Emperor Tianxing, Master Jueming would not want to fight with Gu Xu and the others at all. If possible, he would have liked to stand on the edge of the battlefield and paddle. As long as we keep our old friend the Imperial Master from getting into trouble, we're done.

"Have you ever considered a possibility?" The Imperial Master pondered for a moment and said seriously, "Gu Xu and the strong men under his command are not not wanting to fight at this time, but they are unable to fight."

"Can't go out to fight?" Master Jueming narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he thought of something, "How do you say this?"

"Look, do the various actions of the rebels seem to be deliberately delaying time?"
