Chapter 231: Borrowing Teachers To Help And Suppress
There are many things arranged in the tray, shining brightly and extraordinary.
The most eye-catching thing is an object that looks like a compass.
It looks ancient and old, completely different from the other items on the tray. The contrast is strong, but it has a sense of weight that the other items on the tray cannot reach, as if it is a divine object hidden in obscurity.
The host did not introduce the compass first, but pointed to the shining objects on the tray and said, "These are all treasures here. If the honored guest can successfully find the person, it will be the reward."
Is this using wealth to move people's hearts in advance?
Chu Shen himself is a wealthy man, so he can handle it, but he is very curious about who the host is looking for.
"Without merit, one does not receive rewards. Please tell me first, what kind of person are you looking for? I also need to see if I can help before we can discuss the reward, right?"
The host laughed heartily, "You will definitely be able to help."
Then, "433" took out the "compass" and said to Chu Shen, "This is a tool for finding people. With it, as long as the target person is alive, they can definitely be found! Look, its pointer is constantly swaying slightly, which is proof that the target person is still alive."
And this target person is the former owner of this place, a high-ranking official under the Southern Emperor of the Heavenly Court, the Lord of Public Brightness!
We are looking forward to the return of Lord Tianjun, but we cannot leave this place on our own, so we can only ask the honored guest for help.
"What? Are you saying that Lord Public Brightness is still alive?"
Chu Shen was truly surprised.
The Tree Granny and the Golden Grandpa are able to exist from the ancient Heavenly Court era until now because they are both very special.
Let's not talk about the Tree Granny for now. Its true form is a special divine tree that is even older than the ancient Heavenly Court era, making it a miraculous existence.
The true form of the Golden Grandpa is unknown, but from several exchanges and conversations with the Tree Granny, it can be understood that he is a spirit. As long as his true form does not perish, he can exist for eternity.
But someone like the Lord of Brightness, even if they are an ancient immortal god, surviving through the ages until now is too exaggerated. Not to mention the wear and tear that time inevitably brings, just the fact that after the collapse of the ancient Heavenly Court, Dongxuan Heaven experienced several great changes in the world, and many laws have already changed. For an excessively ancient life to survive these calamities and remain, the difficulty is no longer something that can be described as "great."
Could it be that the Lord of Brightness also lives in some special space?
Seeing that Chu Shen seemed to be thinking about a lot of things, the person in charge quickly said, "The esteemed guest has misunderstood. A long, long time ago, the Lord of Brightness unfortunately perished in battle. This tomb was also built to store the Lord's remains, and this is an indisputable fact.
However, the Lord of Brightness's soul did not completely perish and it is unknown in what manner it has survived until now.
What we hope you can find is the Lord of Brightness's soul and bring it back here.
"Is that all?" It sounds like there's no problem, but Chu Shen still felt a bit strange.
The person in charge sighed, "I won't hide it from the esteemed guest, we also have some selfish motives. After all, the master of the Lord's tomb is ultimately the Lord. We are just servants. Without the Lord, we are bound here, facing the same monotonous scenery year after year, day after day.
But if the Lord returns, not only can it unlock more functions of the Lord's tomb, but it can also give us a backbone. If the Lord permits, we might even receive the grace of reincarnation.
Chu Shen understood. While these souls that were able to bypass the great changes of the world were indeed fortunate, they were also unfortunate. Their greatest sorrow is not having freedom.
Just like the people in the Palace of Jade and those lingering souls in the ruins.
Being tormented by time itself is a form of torture. They seek liberation, and there are two methods:
One is for remnants like the Gongming Tianjun Mausoleum to naturally decay or be completely destroyed, causing the original protective mechanisms to disappear, ultimately allowing them to find peace in the afterlife and be liberated.
The other method is to obtain permission from the owner of such remnants, like the Gongming Tianjun Mausoleum, in order to be freed.
They chose the second method, so it's no wonder they treat themselves so well, eagerly hoping for assistance in finding the Gongming Tianjun Mausoleum and achieving liberation.
"I understand. I will do my best to help you recover the Gongming Tianjun Mausoleum."
Chu Shen decided to agree for now, as refusing might lead to unpredictable consequences.
Unexpectedly, the person in charge took out a scroll from a tray and smiled, saying, "Then let's sign a contract to make it official."
Chu Shen: ""
Damn it, these spirits are really cunning. They actually want to sign a contract, and this contract clearly carries some kind of mysterious binding force. It must be an ancient artifact from the Heavenly Court era!
But he wasn't worried. With the Tree Granny and Golden Grandpa in the Qunyu Palace, there might be a way to break it. Plus, after reading through the contract, there was nothing unusual in it. It simply stated that he would help find the Gongming Tianjun Mausoleum. So he signed his name, feeling a mysterious power embedding itself into his body, presumably the power of the contract...
"In that case, thank you, esteemed guest!"
The person in charge bowed excitedly to Chu Shen, and the other spirits did the same. Some even shed tears of joy, perhaps because they finally saw hope for liberation.
Chu Shen was also somewhat moved. Perhaps helping these ghosts wouldn't be a problem.
He thought this in his heart, but still said, "Alright, the contract is settled, let's agree on this matter. Next, I also have something to ask of you all."
The head of the ghosts wiped away a tear from the corner of his eye.
It was strange, even though they were ghosts, they could still cry.
"Please speak, esteemed guest. As long as it's something we can do, we will do our best!"
Chu Shen didn't hold back and explained his original plan to the head of the ghosts.
The head of the ghosts was obviously not a good person. Upon hearing that Chu Shen planned to kill the core disciples of the various noble families in the Langxuan Heavenly Palace, as well as the influential figures in the various immortal peaks who had tendencies to split, he didn't advise against it or show any fear. He calmly said, "I see. Since they are enemies of the esteemed guest, they are our enemies as well. Please provide a list, and let us lend a hand to the esteemed guest."
As he spoke, a Yin Ji brought over a mirror-like artifact. The surface of the mirror was like liquid, reflecting the figures of the Langxuan Heavenly Palace disciples who were still fighting in various mechanisms on the outskirts.
Chu Shen looked at the people reflected on the mirror's surface, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He didn't hesitate to point out the people who deserved to die.
He felt no pressure in doing so.
Firstly, he wasn't familiar with the other party, so he didn't have any psychological burden.
Secondly, fundamentally, he was digging out the cancer for the Langxuan Heavenly Palace. As a disciple of the Holy Lord, he was also fulfilling his duty. It could be said that he was doing what Yan Shu dared not do, and removing the people Yan Shu couldn't remove. What's wrong with addressing the urgent needs of the Heavenly Palace?
Thirdly, he already had irreconcilable conflicts with the old forces of the Langxuan Heavenly Palace. Sooner or later, they would oppose and break away from each other because of the power of the system. In that case, the reserve forces of these old forces already had a way to meet their demise!
Kill, create a bright future, and kill for a prosperous world. Since the old forces had built their foundation with the blood and lives of countless grassroots disciples, they should also have the awareness of retribution through bloodshed!
