Xu Luo didn't want to get too stiff with the old man, so he raised his hands and saluted, haha.
"Sizheng, don't blame me. You also know that I have just broken through the realm and cannot control my energy as I wish. Please forgive me."
Seeing this boy's insincere behavior, Yu Xiuguang cursed secretly in his heart, you are really trying to trick a ghost...
Huh? There seems to be something wrong with this.
But knowing that Xu Luo deliberately used the evil magic power as a demonstration, he had no choice but to do so. The young man in front of him was qualified to talk to him on an equal footing regardless of his mind, means, and combat power.
The evil spirit that he condensed when he broke through the realm is somewhat special, it is called Baohua Moonlight Evil. He is the best at clones and the way of phantom. When he has mastered the art of phantom, he can transform into nine clones.
Although each of them only had 30% of their own combat strength, under Xu Luo's bright red eyes just now, he actually sensed a life-and-death crisis.
This proves that even if he comes in person, there is nothing he can do to help Luo.
After a long while, Yu Xiuguang sat back across from the coffee table. He looked at the Qingshui River with red light rippling in the distance and sighed helplessly.
"What plan do you have, can you tell the old man first?"
Xu Luo's expression gradually became cautious, and he looked at Yu Xiuguang for a while before speaking suddenly.
"You should have always known about the fact that the Imperial Guards Department is self-respecting!"
Yu Xiuguang was stunned for a moment subconsciously. Seeing Xu Luona's expression, he suddenly understood that he had been deceived by this kid again, so he stretched out his finger and made a false point.
"You boy, although the old man has some selfish motives, he is not as bottomless as you think.
Over the years, it has indeed not been easy in the General's Mansion. The old man has indeed heard about the transaction with strange things, but the old man did not expect that Zhao Pojun would actually use his own people as bargaining chips!
These bastards, these bastards..."
While talking, Yu Xiuguang himself took the lead in shouting curses, obviously he was really hating him.
Xu Luo didn't quite understand what he said. What does it mean to trade with one's own people?
We don’t need human lives, and we don’t need weird things like silver baht...
It wasn't until the corner of his eye swept across the dense rainforest on the other side of the Qingshui River that he suddenly understood what Captain Qingshan was doing!
When I arrived at Qingshui River Pier at the beginning of the year, why were the soldiers I saw so full of evil spirits?
Xu Luo's heart was really full of mixed feelings at this time. Could it be that those uncivilized mountain barbarians should... It doesn't seem impossible!
Seeing Xu Luo pointing at the rainforest in the distance, Yu Xiuguang closed her eyes slightly, nodded helplessly and sighed.
"As you can imagine, the old man felt sorry for the miserable situation of the Imperial Guards these years, so he just turned a blind eye.
But I didn’t expect that the General’s Mansion would fall to this point. Now that I think about it, I’m afraid they had already planned it, and Zhao Pojun really hid it well!”
Xu Luo was confused after hearing this and could only look at Yu Xiuguang pitifully.
Yu Xiuguang was absolutely right when he said that this guy was born in the Year of the Dog. Now that he was sure that the old man was not complicit, he immediately changed his attitude.
Yu Xiuguang almost rolled her eyes in anger, but she still patiently explained a few words.
"Haven't you always wondered why the old man didn't care about anything and didn't even leave Panshi City, allowing the Imperial Guard to become more and more wanton over the years?
To tell you the truth, it’s not that I don’t want to take care of it, but that I can’t do anything about it!
For all Dayan cities, the most important thing is the city protection talisman array.
The wave of monsters in Rock City more than 20 years ago caused heavy losses to the three main halls of our exorcism department. All the masters died. Even the city protection talisman array could not be maintained at full strength. Most of the nodes could only be handed over to the imperial soldiers.
The company is responsible.
Until the old man realized that something seemed wrong, 70% of the nodes of the rune formation were already in the hands of the General's Mansion.
If the old man hadn’t been in charge of the core exorcism department, I might not even be able to keep these 30%, hey..."
Xu Luo suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the dignified exorcism department Hun was in such a miserable state.
There are three or two kittens in the three main halls, the Demon Suppression Tower has long been abandoned, and even the inheritance building is unusable. For practitioners, the most important spiritual energy is not in sufficient supply, so why bother with a hammer?
"Have you never thought about taking back what belongs to the Exorcist Department?
Presumably, although the General Secretary does not want to see it, he will definitely not object to such a slap in the face of the Military Commander, not to mention the support of the Reformed Party?"
Xu Luo still refused to give up, Yu Xiuguang looked at him indifferently and sneered.
"What you, a little fox, can think of, Zhao Pojun can't think of?"
At this point, he suddenly fell silent, as if he was hesitating whether he should tell Xu Luo what to say next, but finally thinking of the relationship between this boy and Gu Xixi, he was afraid that there were some things that he couldn't hide.
Yu Xiuguang looked at the bright red moon high in the sky, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.
"A hundred years ago, due to a sudden change in the leader of the Reformed Faction, Master Gu, the entire government disappeared overnight. The Yinzhi and the Conservative Faction were at a disadvantage in the power struggle..."
As soon as the words came to his ears, Xu Luo felt a surge in his heart, and he casually looked towards the green ox cart from the corner of his eye.
Under the red moonlight, the word "E" lantern was swaying in the breeze, and the word "GU" on the skin was faintly visible.
Seeing Xu Luo's expression was different, a sad look flashed in Yu Xiuguang's eyes, and she shook her head and smiled bitterly.
"Don't be surprised. Just because you haven't heard of something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. If I were as old as you, I might not have heard of the Gu family at all.
The old man is too lazy to say more about how prestigious the Gu family was back then. All you need to know is that apart from Xia Yu, the top exorcist family in Xianjing, there was also Gu!"
Speaking of this, his face showed uncontrollable anger and pride, but in the end they all turned into endless bitterness.
"You should also understand this kind of factional war. The winner takes everything. The old masters of the orthodox faction will die and scatter.
This is the truth, and the old man has no complaints. Since he is in this situation, he can certainly afford to lose.
But some people went too far. After the disappearance of Palace Master Gu, it goes without saying that Yu Wei, the old immortal, tried every means to destroy the traces of the Gu family's existence.
But what is unexpected is that even the royal family, the Xia family, is secretly clearing away all information about Palace Master Gu.
Over time, the famous Gu family back then was lost in everyone's memory."
It can be seen that Yu Xiuguang respects Palace Master Gu very much, and his words are full of sadness and helplessness.
But at this moment, Xu Luo's mind was not on this at all, and scenes flashed through his mind.
There is also the old man with a hunchback like Tigua, Xiaoyan’s weirdness when she sees the Ur-shaped lantern, the haunted house hiding the remains of the Ur-shaped lantern, and the accompanying creature of the huge house of the white-haired man in the Hundred Rift Valley...
Everything seems to be connected by an invisible thread.
Thoughts were racing in his mind, but Xu Luo's face was calm and clear, revealing just the right amount of curiosity.
"How is it possible? Can those people still erase the memories from everyone's brains?"
Yu Xiu disdained and sneered.
"Why bother? As long as we control the cultivators, tamper with the existence of the Gu family in all books, and then seize the vital points of those who are unwilling to accept it, as time goes by, who else will replace a person who has no descendants?
The family is complaining?
Now I'm afraid except for us old guys who are just hanging on...
Oh, there is another person who should know more about the inside story. If you are really interested, you might as well go to the Zhanjing Library, but the senior scholar has a weird temperament, so I can’t guarantee whether he would like to see you or not."
Reward Jing, Senior Shu?
Xu Luo sighed secretly in his heart. Although he was also very curious about this matter, it seemed that Huajing was all enemies except irrelevant people. Wouldn't it be a door-to-door delivery now?
He shook his head subconsciously, as if to clear away some delusions in his mind, and just wrote the matter down secretly.
"If it's true as you say, how can the Reformed Church still exist?"
"Hey, that's my luck!
After Palace Master Gu disappeared, my Reformed faction struggled to support itself for decades, and I was about to be cannibalized by those wolves.
At this precarious time, Gu Madman broke through the Aiki Realm, killed eight Ningshas in a row with a bamboo brush, and escaped with the help of two Aiki Realm old immortals.
This allowed me, the reformist faction, to leave a glimmer of hope and spread it out in remote areas that the conservative faction looked down upon."
Yu Xiuguang patted his lame leg, tears gleaming in his old eyes, and seemed to be murmuring to himself.
“But the aftermath of that tragic battle left a few people like me almost unable to recover.
Among the three heroes of the past, one fell from the Aiki realm after going through all kinds of hardships to succeed, and the other became a cripple who only dared to hide in the border town, sleep and pretend to be stupid.
Zhan Datou, the only one with all beards and tails, took the remaining main force away to the most dangerous boundary sea. On the condition of blocking the tide of strange things coming from the west for Dayan, in exchange for the royal family's secret support for the Reformed faction, he slowly
Recuperate and recuperate.
The conservative faction suppressed my conversion and almost took control of the entire exorcism department.
In recent years, even the royal Xia family has been unwilling to fall out with the conservative faction easily, and can only turn a blind eye to some of the reformed faction's transgressive actions.
Since Zhao Pojun took office, Panshi City has been my Reformed faction’s largest trading partner.
Our base camp in Jiehai is responsible for exporting elixirs, talismans, weapons and equipment, while they provide the precious medicines and spiritual materials that are essential for practice!"
Xu Luo let out a long sigh of relief. It turns out that is the case. In the final analysis, everything is at fault!
This was the main reason why Yu Xiuguang tolerated the General's Mansion in every possible way. Even though he knew that Zhao Pojun was secretly doing nothing, the old fox still persuaded him without conscience.
Fortunately, Xu Luo had already anticipated this kind of thing!
If you think about it, you will know that this old man has been making waves in the capital for decades and has made such a big name. How can he be a simple person?
Although he was so sincere and affectionate when he sent Xu Luo away, now he looked even more dejected and helpless.
But if he really comes into contact with the core interests of the Reformed sect, Xu Luo can guarantee that this old man will not relent even half-heartedly!
But this is actually better. Since we are talking about interests, our feelings will not be hurt.
Xu Luo asked himself that he would rather suffer more losses than owe any favors. He thought for a moment and then said in a deep voice.
"That means you can still control 30% of the current city protection talisman formation, Si Zheng?"
