Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 614 From Shenji Camp to Zifu Army

"This formation can currently accommodate about fifty people for practice," Gu Xu continued after a brief silence, "Among them, practitioners in the third and fourth realms are the most suitable.

“The spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered by this formation can save them the steps of purifying the evil spirit, thereby increasing their practice efficiency to three to five times its original value.

"Today I am convening you all just to discuss with you how to effectively use this formation - which people should be provided to practice this formation so that it can maximize its effectiveness and value."

Wang Jian thought for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, since we are facing the threat of powerful enemies from the upper world, we might as well refer to the 'Shenji Battalion' of the Daqi Dynasty and select a group of young monks with the most outstanding talents from all over the country. They broke through the realm in a shorter period of time and quickly grew into our backbone combat force in Daxia."

Hearing the words "Shenji Camp", Gu Xu's thoughts seemed to be pulled by a breeze, and he inadvertently drifted back to last autumn.

At that time, Chu Fengge personally visited the Yamen of the Exorcist Department of Yishui County to preside over the promotion assessment for Gu Xu. After the assessment, Chu Fengge told him that he had been selected into the reserve force of the "Shenji Camp" and handed a simple lottery tube to him.

Gu Xu stretched out his hand and took out a tag with the word "Suzaku" clearly written on it.

Now, one year has passed quietly, and it stands to reason that it is time for the "Shenji Camp" to be officially launched.

However, the Daqi Dynasty has been destroyed.

The second "Shenji Camp" naturally became a plan that died in the cradle.

This made Gu Xu feel like he was in another world.

He slowly said: "The idea that Lu Shoufu proposed to create the 'Shenji Battalion' back then is indeed worth learning from - under the circumstances of limited resources, a group of young people with the most potential will be trained together to form a sharp weapon to deal with the enemy. arms.

"But it is undeniable that the 'Shenji Camp' also has some shortcomings. For example, the selection criteria are not transparent and it relies too much on the recommendation system, which has caused many real talents from the bottom to be buried."

Gu Xu's words deeply touched Xiao Wanjun.

Last year, when she advocated the rebuilding of the "Shenji Camp", countless dignitaries from aristocratic families expressed or hinted to her that they hoped to include their own children.

Although the risks of the "Shenji Battalion" should not be underestimated. After all, the first "Shenji Battalion" was completely wiped out in the battle with Qiongqi, but the country's full support, the saint's personal guidance and the top Kung Fu and martial arts Learning is an irresistible temptation for every practitioner.

Even Xiao Wanjun himself included his younger brother Xiao Shangyuan, hoping that he could take this opportunity to soar into the sky and become a strong competitor for the "Tai'a Sword".

Now, Gu Xu makes the spiritual energy of heaven and earth appear in the wilderness.

This brand new legion can practice with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

For the world, its appeal will definitely far exceed that of the Shenji Camp of the past.

"Emperor, from my perspective," Luo Chuan suggested, "we might as well let young practitioners across the country who are willing to participate first register at the exorcism departments in various places and pass the talent test for preliminary screening, and then use the 'Reviewing Pot' illusion to conduct inspections Their actual combat capabilities. If there is a candidate who is difficult to choose, they can compete with each other to decide. "

"Do you have any other opinions?" Gu Xu nodded slightly, then looked around at everyone present and asked.

Wang Jian hesitated for a moment and said: "Perhaps, we should examine the character of these practitioners——"

"——Character is not a hard standard. It largely depends on the subjective judgment of the examiner, and there is huge room for behind-the-scenes manipulation." Luo Chuan interrupted, "Instead of focusing on the elusive 'character', it is better to Look at how many tangible contributions they have made.

"I think that the emperor should not hesitate to give them some preferential treatment for those practitioners who have made great contributions to Daxia."

Gu Xu nodded again and said: "Then I'll leave it to Wenchang to carry out this matter!

"You go ahead and make a plan. If you need manpower and material resources, I will help you allocate them. But don't be ostentatious, extravagant, or spend too much unnecessary money."

Gu Xu had to admit that Luo Chuan was the one who understood his thoughts best among the many ministers at present.

After Luo Chuan came back from his injuries, he didn't need to say a lot of things he wanted to say in person, Luo Chuan would understand and explain them clearly for him; a lot of things he wanted to do, he could safely leave them to Luo Chuan to handle, thus making it easier for him. Lighten the load on yourself. "Thank you, Emperor, for your trust. I will do my best to ensure that this matter is successfully completed and live up to the emperor's trust!" Luo Chuan bowed his hands respectfully.

Gu Xu pondered for a while and then said: "Can you think of a resounding name for this new army that is trained with spiritual energy?"

The name "Shenji Camp" is definitely not acceptable.

Mainly because it's so unlucky.

Luo Chuan was obviously prepared for this issue: "Emperor, you might as well name this army the 'Purple Mansion Army'.

"Emperor, you are the immortal king in heaven, and the Purple Mansion is the residence of the immortals, which complements your status.

"This legion will become the sharpest spear and the strongest shield, guarding the emperor's surroundings, always ready to charge into battle at the emperor's command."

Gu Xu was not good at choosing names, and he had no better ideas in his mind for the time being, so he agreed: "Then let's call it 'Zifu Army' according to what you said!"

…………

After everyone dispersed, Gu Xu sat alone on the stone steps at the edge of the formation. His eyes were fixed on the complex, changeable and sparkling patterns, and his brows could not help but frown slightly.

At present, this spiritual energy conversion formation has basically taken shape, but there are still some flaws, such as the unstable generation rate of spiritual energy, which requires further improvement and adjustment.

Moreover, it is still too small.

A legion of only fifty people, on a vast battlefield spanning two worlds, obviously cannot play a role in changing the situation of the war.

In the future, Gu Xu will definitely need to find opportunities to go to "Guixu" again to collect more "Hunyuan Qi" to build more spiritual energy transformation formations, so that more monks in the wilderness can use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Opportunities to practice.

Just as Gu Xu was concentrating on his thoughts, an exquisite food box quietly appeared beside him.

"Thank you for your hard work, Shunxi." He said casually.

Since he ascended the throne, Gu Xu rarely went to the imperial dining hall to dine like the previous emperors did.

Especially recently, he not only has to deal with state affairs, but also devotes a lot of energy to researching formations. In order to save time and trouble, he often asks the servants to prepare lunch boxes for him in the Shangshan Prison and send them directly to Jiangyun Palace.

Just like ordering takeout in my previous life.

The eunuchs headed by Han Shunxi expressed their protests many times, believing that this move was too shabby, inconsistent with the rules of the palace, and disrespected His Majesty's noble status.

Gu Xu was too lazy to argue with them. He simply said "I am the rule" and dismissed all their objections.

However, today, he did not hear Han Shunxi's voice.

Instead, there was a charming and pleasant female voice.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you asked the cabinet to draft an edict, intending to canonize Shangguan Jin as a 'virtuous concubine'. I wonder if this is true or not?"

Gu Xu turned his head and saw Zhao Yan in a red dress standing beside him with a half-smile.
