Chapter 17 Gu Xu’s Diary
“September 17th, the 23rd year of Tianxing:
“Today is the exact 100th day since I traveled to the Daqi Dynasty. There are approximately 4,525 days left at the end of life.
“I, Gu Xu, am a serious person and I shouldn’t keep a diary.
“But my time is too tight.
"I hope that through this diary, I can conduct self-reflection at the end of each day to avoid procrastination and delay the progress of my practice.
"In this way, when I look back on the past, I will not be disappointed because of procrastination. If you regret wasting your years, you will not be ashamed of doing nothing.
“Last night, I used up all the remaining Jingxin Pills.
“I did four tasks in a row today, and I only saved 290 merit points, which is not enough to exchange for new ones. of elixirs.
“So I didn’t practice all day.
"I am guilty."
"September 18th, the twenty-third year of Tianxing:
"Today is the countdown to death forty-five hundred and twenty-four days. I finally accumulated enough merit again and exchanged it for a bottle of Jingxin Pill.
“Shi Xiaohan saw that my non-stop work every day was too hard, so he brought fifteen bottles of Jingxin Pills to me.
“But I refused.
"This gift is too valuable.
"Although I, Gu Xu, am poor, I am a dignified person after all, and I must not accept charity from girls easily.
“In addition, because Painted Skin Ghost’s immobilization spell left a deep psychological shadow on me, I am very worried that in future tasks, due to a moment of negligence, I will be controlled by the evil spirit and become powerless. Escape.
"So I carved thirty 'Decontamination Talismans' into my sea of consciousness. "
"September 19, the twenty-third year of Tianxing:
"Damn it! I was obsessed with practicing this morning and accidentally used up the Jingxin Pill again.
"But my current merit balance is far from enough to exchange for new pills.
"So...I could only give in to five buckets of rice and was forced to accept Shi Xiaohan's kindness.
"Alas, there are always too many things in this world that we have no control over.
"No matter what, I have written down this favor in my notebook. I must find a way to repay it in the future."
"September 20, the twenty-third year of Tianxing:
"Cultivation. "
"September 21st:
"Cultivation."
"September 22nd:
"Cultivation."
"September 23rd:
"I have worked so hard, reward myself with a day off tomorrow! Mr. Chen once said that when things go to extremes, they must reverse themselves. When doing things, you must pay attention to the balance between work and rest, and don't tire yourself out. ”
“September 24th:
“Cultivation.”
"September 25:
"Practice.
“I accidentally had another epiphany today, which caused the real energy in my body to surge, and I almost broke through.
“Fortunately, I restrained myself in the end.
“I just lingered on the edge of the second realm and did not enter.
"Master Chen said that a solid foundation can make people go further on the road of cultivation.
"My true energy is not pure enough, and there are still cold impurities remaining, and it needs to continue to be tempered and polished.
“Because my goal is the seventh realm, I don’t want to leave hidden dangers that will cause my future practice to be stuck at a bottleneck and stall.”
“September 26:
“Today Mr. Chen Jisheng gave us some popular science knowledge about ghosts.
"He said that in our Jiaodong province, there are three major 'fierce god'-level evil spirits.
"One of them is the 'Nine-Baby Snake Demon', which has nine heads, can spit water and fire, and can also send out babies. cries.
“It is said that it was transformed by public dissatisfaction. As long as public dissatisfaction persists, it will not die completely.
“Eight years ago, it was this basilisk that wreaked havoc in Qingzhou Prefecture and ate its body. The parents of the original owner destroyed Yishui County School.
“Many powerful practitioners joined forces, but they were unable to subdue it.
"In the end, it was the Grand Master of Qi who took action and sealed it underground with the magic of talismans, which ended that terrible disaster.
"The Grand Master is a seventh-level practitioner and a master of Fu Dao - his combat power Ranked second in the Qi Dynasty, second only to the emperor.
"He is the goal of my life.
"The other evil ghost among the three evil gods is called 'Yishan Snow Girl'. It is said that she is very beautiful and looks Like a gentle, delicate, elegant and charming girl.
“But ghosts cannot be judged by their appearance. The ‘Snow Girl’ is no less terrifying than the Nine Infant Snake Demon.
"Every June, she will set off a large-scale snowstorm in Qingzhou Prefecture, taking this opportunity to hunt humans.
" Mr. Chen also said that if the 'Snow Girl' meets a man she likes, she will He was frozen forever, turned into a statue, and placed for viewing in the ice cave where he lived.
“It sounds really chilling!
“As a ‘spiritual body’, I am panicking now. Hopefully I can make it through next June. "As for the third 'fierce god' level ghost... Mr. Chen said that he forgot its name and could only wait until he went back to check the information and explain it to us next time.
"Alas, long-term lack of rest will indeed cause memory loss. It is too hard for Mr. Chen to work from dawn to dusk day after day. Maybe when the salary is paid next month, I can consider giving him a box of walnuts."
"September 27:
"Cultivation. ”
“September 28:
“Eat, practice, and do tasks.
"The life of a practitioner in the Exorcism Department is like this, simple, boring and boring."
"September 29:
"I found that the divination and fortune-telling spells in this world are frighteningly accurate.
“Every time I go out to do a task, I will use the six-yao copper coin divination method to predict good or bad luck. For three months, my divination results have never been wrong.
“This is simply impossible. To describe it as outrageous!
"Today, I saw some introductions about astrology in the book. Out of curiosity, I planned to try it.
"The basic method of astrology is to determine the destiny palace based on a person's birth date and horoscope. , and then calculate his status, personality, wealth, and fortune based on the lord of the life palace.
"I...or the original owner of the body, was born in the year of Xinchou, month of Xinmao, day of Jiayin, and time of Renshen.
"This is a moment when the five elements lack fire.
“So when the original owner’s parents named the original owner, they deliberately chose a name with a ‘fire’ attribute.
"After some calculations, I deduced that the main star of my life palace is the 'Tianji star'.
"People with Tianji star in the life palace are often smart and diligent, have the ability to plan strategies, are good at observation, and have quick reactions. Versatile, eloquent, likes to be innovative and changeful, and doesn’t play by the rules...
“This astrology seems to be really accurate!
“Just according to the book, Tianji The star is the star of counselors - a person whose destiny is determined by heaven, and is suitable to be an assistant minister, making suggestions for his lord and assisting him to achieve hegemony.
"Oh, how can a dignified time traveler be subordinate to others and be willing to be someone else's subject? You know, among the group of time travellers, who defy the sky, the earth, and the air, there cannot be a single 'Great Emperor' Titles such as 'Immortal Lord' and 'Martial Emperor' are shameless.
"This makes me very unhappy.
"So, I took the birth date of my previous life on earth and calculated it again.
"I am very satisfied with the result this time - Ziweixing is sitting in the palace of fate. This is the sign of an emperor. He is destined to be the one who controls the wind and rain, and is either rich or noble.
" But at this time, the book said , Ziwei's destiny is too noble, and most people can't bear it. People with this kind of fate are basically prone to illness and early death...
"Go away from the feudal superstition! I want to believe in science!"
"September 30th:
"Today the county school Zhou Jiaoyu invited me to visit his home. He said that I had reached the age where it was time to talk about marriage, and he wanted to introduce me to a good marriage.
"I refused. Women will only affect the speed of my cultivation."
"October 1st:
"When I went out to do a task today, Shi Xiaohan followed me He casually talked about the situation in the temples of the Daqi Dynasty.
"She said that the current emperor is obsessed with cultivation and ignores government affairs; Daqi's government is currently mainly in the hands of the cabinet and Princess Zhaoning, who is deeply loved by the emperor.
"When I asked her for more details When, Shi Xiaohan said she didn’t know anything about it—because her father hadn’t told her.
"She just emphasized repeatedly in front of me that Princess Zhaoning was called 'the most beautiful woman in Luojing', and many young handsome men wanted to marry her. Listening to Shi Xiaohan's strange tone, It seems that she doesn’t like Princess Zhaoning very much.
“Is this the comparison mentality between beautiful girls?
“In order to make Shi Xiaohan, the financial backer’s father, happy, I said to her in a joking tone, ‘All good-looking skins are the same, but interesting souls are only one in a thousand.’
"Shi Xiaohan asked me: 'What is an interesting soul?'
"I made it up temporarily: 'kindness, gentleness, sincerity, confidence, and helpfulness' - if I remember correctly, in the previous life novel Silly and sweet heroines basically follow this template.
“Hearing this, Shi Xiaohan smiled very happily.
“I think she seems to have hit the mark... What a fool who feels good about himself! ”
“The second day of October:
"The improved version of the 'Tai Shang Arctic Demon-Suppressing and Ghost-Killing Talisman' I drew was officially put on the shelves in the exorcism department's warehouse today. According to Mr. Chen, every time a colleague redeems a 'Ghost-Killing Talisman', I can get ten Reward for five meritorious deeds.
“This ‘ghost-killing talisman’ is probably the most affordable item in the entire Exorcism Department. Although no one cares about it now, I believe it will be very popular in the future.
“I seem to see a beautiful life where I can earn merit while lying at home waving to me.”
“The third day of October:
“Master Chen Jisheng told me, The examiner responsible for my promotion assessment has already set off from the capital Luojing and is expected to arrive in Yishui County in three days.
"He said that during the practical assessment stage, my competitors and I would enter a wonderful illusion and relive a certain ghost case in the history of the Exorcism Department. He hoped that I would be fully prepared in advance.
< br>"I'm starting to get a little nervous. The main reason is that the competitor named Ma Qin is coming fiercely, and I feel that I may not be his opponent. "
"The fourth day of October:
"Cultivation."
"The fifth day of October:
"Cultivation."
