Chen Lusi responded briefly, then came to Luo Shan and asked, "Who is it this time?"

"You don't have to worry about it."

Luo Shan hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the old man over there. It seemed as if he had said something, so he shook his head and said, "They are just watching from the sidelines. They won't affect you."

Chen Lusi then asked, "Then what should I do today?"

Luo Shan thought for a moment and replied, "We'll need to spend some time testing the stability. Then, we need you to complete the transformation of the first batch of fifty 'Solid Core' stones. As for the 'Heavenly Punishment' pistol, it will take some time to produce... So, let's just focus on these two things today. What do you think?"

Chen Lusi didn't refuse: "Okay."

"Then wait a moment."

After hearing the definite answer, Luo Shan left a word, then turned around and began to instruct Mou Fengyan to move a colorful stone... which looked a bit like Qingtian stone.

And after the stone is served.

Mou Fengyan and two other Kunlun members began to use magic to cut the stone.

The three people divided the work in an orderly manner: one was responsible for cutting, one was responsible for engraving, and one was responsible for checking.

The movements are quite fast.

"Compression device?"

Chen Lusi was a little curious.

"Yes, it's not difficult to do. I want to try to see what happens if you inject the spirit you control directly into the compression device... so I had someone prepare the materials overnight."

Luo Shan nodded upon hearing this.

Chen Lusi glanced at him and realized that his eyes were bloodshot. He probably didn't sleep all night last night.

Obviously.

Luo Shan still did not give up the idea of exploring the secret of his power.

Of course, it's also possible that it's just pure curiosity.

Chen Lu thought for a moment and didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he looked at the three people who were working in an orderly manner and suddenly asked, "Do you have any research on talismans?"

"Fu Zhuan?"

Luo Shan was a little surprised and turned around suddenly. "Why are you asking this suddenly? Do you have any knowledge in this area?"

The three Kunlun members who had an orderly division of labor also turned their heads suddenly and stared at Chen Lusi in disbelief.

"No."

Chen Lusi shook his head and then asked Wu You the same question he had asked a few days ago.

"Because I've seen the parchment scrolls of the church system, I thought of the talismans in China..."

A look of disappointment flashed across Luo Shan's face, and he continued, "I see. Actually, Wu You's answer to you is mostly correct. The art of talismans in China has indeed been discontinued, but he was wrong about one point."

"what?"

"The second option, which he said requires an emperor with divine authority, is actually not accurate because according to common sense, this is unrealistic. No emperor knows the ritual.

So a more accurate statement would be that some kind of special fabric is required, which you can simply understand as something like an imperial edict.

As for the others, they are more or less the same, and the specific production methods have indeed been lost."

Chen Lusi nodded: "I understand."

"...I thought you could make talismans."

Luo Shan suddenly shook his head, looked at Chen Lusi, and sighed, "To be honest, we're even more envious of the church's method of releasing spells than you are... but there's really nothing we can do. The girl we brought from the Ross Church is still locked up there. I talked to her during the days I was waiting for you.

She even told me directly how their church encapsulated the technique... They were certain we couldn't imitate it. They'd been using it for a long time and obviously knew more about it. They were certain we couldn't do it, so it was probably hopeless.

"Which girl do you mean?"

"Anna? That should be her name."

Luo Shan thought for a moment and said, "That's the little girl carrying the 'Saint's' corpse. That was a good thing. If it weren't for 'Heavenly Punishment', I would probably be studying the corpse right now."

Chen Lusi: "..."

I remembered.

At first, Li Zheng and Yu Zhou seemed to want the mummy that Anna was carrying. Anna had no choice but to agree, but she asked that she must come along.

Then she inexplicably became a hostage in the 'First Rider' incident.

"That's roughly the situation."

Luo Shan noticed that Mou Fengyan and the other two were almost done with the first 'compression device', and he spoke slightly faster: "We really don't have any clues about anything related to talismans at the moment. After all, we don't even have the materials. We can't rely on the Taoists, they are really completely cut off.

As for the other road, the situation is similar. Unless you can find the legendary special imperial edict, the situation will be the same.

In fact, whether it is the former or the latter, we don’t hold out much hope... After all, in the past few decades, except for a few special places, we have searched every scenic spot and historical site in the country."

Chen Lusi nodded after hearing this and put aside his curiosity.

Since Kunlun said so, it probably means that every option has been tried.

So there is no need to worry about it anymore.

Next.

Chen Lusi did not say anything else, but quietly watched Mou Fengyan and others make the "compression device".

Suddenly, the only sound left in the entire underground seventh floor was the crisp clanging sound of stone carving.

Chen Lusi was actually quite curious about the 'compression device'.

But before he could take a closer look.

The security forces over there seemed to realize that this process would continue for some time. After a brief exchange, they sent someone over and called out Chen Lusi.

Chen Lusi turned his head, listened to what the visitor said, hesitated for a while, and then walked towards the group of senior security forces.

"Hello."

Chen Lusi stopped in front of the old man in the lead and greeted him.

"Hello." The old man raised his eyes and looked very kind.

"can I help you?"

"Well, I heard from Lao Li about what happened yesterday. It's a good thing that the security forces are equipped with new weapons, but... this is the first time they have used such weapons."

Upon hearing this, Chen Lusi immediately thought of what Shan Li had said yesterday, guessed something, and asked, "You want me to go there and teach them?"

"Yes, after all, Mr. Chen Lusi was the first person to use this weapon."

The old man smiled and said, "New weapons are bound to have problems, so I'd like to ask Mr. Chen Lusi to accompany the security forces to Nanjing... and accompany them as a special advisor to the security forces. What do you think?"

"Special Advisor..."

Chen Lusi hesitated for a moment after hearing the old man's words, then shook his head. "I will accompany the garrison to Nanjing, but I don't need the title of special advisor. I don't think I can be one."

He really felt it was inappropriate.

After all, the reason the garrison invited him this time was mainly to let him play a pivotal role.

Then he could just go there, there's no need to make it so complicated.

"Why not."

The old man was not surprised to hear Chen Lusi's words, and continued with a smile: "Without learning, there is no doubt; without asking, there is no broadening of knowledge. If you love to learn but don't ask questions diligently, you are not a true learner.

Compared with Mr. Chen Lusi, although I am older and have more experience, if you ask me what "divine punishment" is, I will definitely be clueless.

Professional matters should be left to professionals. You are currently the person who knows the 'Sky Punishment' weapon best. Who else can answer the guards' questions? Who else can serve as their advisor?

"..."

Chen Lusi hesitated for a moment and replied, "Actually, I'm just lucky. I don't really know much about the 'Heavenly Punishment' weapon."

This is the truth, he figured it out through trial and error.

"Mr. Chen Lusi is too modest."

But the old man seemed unwilling to give in and shook his head. "Regardless, your knowledge of the 'Heavenly Punishment' weapon far exceeds that of the average person. Not only me, but every member of the security forces feels that your experience will play a vital role in this mission."

Chen Lusi: "..."

He heard it.

The old man insisted on having him as his advisor.

Seeing Chen Lusi remained silent, the old man smiled again and said, "Is that the decision?"

"..."

Chen Lusi had no choice but to nod and agree to the old man's proposal.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Chen Lusi. We will provide all the support and resources to ensure your work... This mission is of vital importance to us, and your participation will be a key factor."

When the old man heard the exact answer, he showed a relieved expression, then patted Chen Lusi's shoulder gently and looked at him meaningfully.

Chen Lusi didn't notice the strangeness in the other person's eyes.

Because this was the first time he had encountered this type of old man.

Some are not used to it.

And next.

The old man chatted with Chen Lusi again, but this time they didn't talk about the security forces and the weapons of heavenly punishment, but about family matters.

For example, Jiangchang City’s specialties, scenic spots, customs and habits, and even Chen Lusi’s clan were all discussed.

I have to say that the old man is indeed very knowledgeable and can say a few words about almost everything.

Compared with them, Chen Lusi is more like a stranger because he really doesn't understand his hometown.

but.

We talked so much.

The only thing the old man didn't talk about was Chen Lusi's family.

Obviously, he knew Chen Lusi's situation very well.

Therefore, it is possible that his erudition was acquired through special effort yesterday.

However, no matter what, as they talked, Chen Lusi's initial feeling that he was being forced to be a consultant did dissipate.

...This is a very powerful person.

This was the evaluation given by Chen Lusi after he left the old man.

"How about it?"

Luo Shan looked at the returning Chen Lusi, as if he knew what had happened, and immediately asked with a smile.

"..."

Seeing the expression on Luo Shan's face, Chen Lusi probably guessed that the old man's identity was not simple... Maybe Luo Shan had suffered a loss, otherwise he wouldn't have such an expression.

"His identity is indeed not simple. If you really want to be picky, he can be considered as the benefactor of your Tiance Mansion... Yes, he was the one who advocated the establishment of Tiance Mansion."

Luo Shan saw what Chen Lusi was thinking and chuckled softly, "He's also a legendary figure in the security forces. After all, the situation back then wasn't like it is now. The 'self' could only hide in the ditch, and those scattered organizations, groups, and families that were outside were not as silent as they are now.

So to make such a suggestion at that time, to break the deadlock and build a new one, required courage, and he was the most determined one, and also the most radical one... Anyone who disagreed would just block the door with the Type 79.

He also said that it didn't matter if people ran away, because if anyone ran away, his house would be raided.

In short, either bow your head or die.

In this way, he forced most of the troublemakers to compromise.

Those old guys may have hated Xia Yue the most in recent years, but if you go back a dozen years, Xia Yue had nothing to do with them at all.”
