Chapter 31 Wonderful Performance
Ma Qin couldn't help but recall the scene a few minutes ago -
Gu Xu and the restaurant owner were talking happily, like a pair of happy grandparents and grandchildren.
Then Gu Xu took the wine bottle from the boss and planned to pour himself a glass of wine.
His hand shook "inadvertently".
Drinks spilled and flowed from the table to the floor.
Using the power of true energy to move objects with bare hands - limited to objects of small volume and mass, it is an entry-level operation that every monk knows.
In other words, for Gu Xu, it is not difficult to use real energy to control the flow direction of liquid.
Just now Gu Xu seemed to be sitting in a chair in a daze, indifferent to the miserable situation of Ma Qin being besieged...
But in fact, he used the ground as paper and cinnamon wine as ink , turning the entire restaurant into a "Tai Shang Arctic Demon Suppressing and Demon Killing Talisman".
This is what Gu Xu calls the "stage".
This is the killer move that Gu Xu has been planning for a long time.
Thinking of this, Ma Qin felt mixed emotions.
He was once envious of Gu Xu's terrifying cultivation speed, and jealous of his supreme talent that shocked the entire exorcism department.
But in the final analysis, these are God’s blessings to eat.
Ma Qin once felt that if he had the same talent, he would not necessarily be inferior to Gu Xu.
But now, Ma Qin realized that the most powerful thing about Gu Xu was not his outstanding talent - but that no matter how critical the situation was, he could always maintain absolute calmness and perform with astonishing With his talent and unconventional thinking, he finds unexpected ways to win.
Is this person really only seventeen years old?
The more Ma Qin thought about it, the more incredible it became.
As Gu Xu recited the "Ghost Expelling Mantra", the temperature in the room gradually increased, and the light seeping out of the ground became brighter.
The ghosts present clearly felt the threat of death.
They left Ma Qin, whose face was covered with egg white, behind, let out a deep roar, waved various kitchen utensils, and rushed towards Gu Xu like a tide.
But Gu Xu remained unmoved, carefully dodging while continuing to recite the mantra.
Since the battle with the Painted Skin Ghost last month, Gu Xu has deeply realized that the power of the improved version of the "Ghost Killing Talisman" is still somewhat insufficient when dealing with those rough-skinned ghosts. .
So, during the recent period, while practicing hard, he has also been trying to develop a more lethal third-generation "ghost-killing talisman".
Although it is currently only a semi-finished product, it still has many flaws...
But it is obviously enough to deal with these ghosts.
After all, he poured 90% of his true energy into this "ghost-killing talisman" drawn with cinnamon wine - the horrific damage that erupted at this moment was absolutely irresistible to the ghosts present.
"...the devil of five days, died and disappeared. Wherever he is, all gods welcome him. Urgency is like a law!"
After reciting the incantation, the whole restaurant lit up with golden fire. .
It's like the east wind blows thousands of trees into bloom at night.
They are as bright as falling stars, and noisy as fire attacks.
The bodies of the ghosts quickly twisted and melted in the strong light, like a pile of paper figures thrown into the furnace, and turned into ashes all over the ground with painful wailing sounds.
Gu Xu stood quietly in the most dazzling place of the fire, his face became extremely pale due to the massive loss of real energy, but his eyes remained as calm as before, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he was intoxicated by this colorful and gorgeous scenery. inside.
“It’s so beautiful.” He sighed softly.
Then he turned his head, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Ma Qin beside him with a smile: "Brother Ma, what do you think of today's performance?"
Ma Qin took a deep breath and praised sincerely. : "Extremely wonderful."
"This is art." Gu Xu was obviously very satisfied with the effect of the improved ghost-killing talisman. Although Ma Qin has long understood that Gu Xu is not an ordinary first-level monk.
But the terrifying energy that exploded instantly in the "fireworks" just now still shocked Ma Qin, and even made him in the second realm feel a faint threat.
"If this 'Ghost Killing Talisman' can not only act on ghosts, but also humans, then can my 'Rock Fist' withstand this terrible offensive?"
Ma Qin didn't know.
He planned to go to the Yishui Exorcist Treasury to exchange for a few "ghost-killing charms" after leaving the illusion.
This thing only has fifteen meritorious deeds.
Such a high cost-effectiveness is simply something you can’t find.
…………
Yishui County, Exorcism Department Yamen Hall.
Chu Fengge sat on the Taishi chair with her legs crossed, staring intently at the image on the "Review Pot". When she saw Gu Xu standing in the dazzling firelight, she couldn't help but frown slightly.
Ordinary low-level monks like Ma Qin may not understand why Gu Xu can create such a terrifying "ghost-killing talisman".
But Chu Fengge, who claimed to be a genius, could see at a glance that Gu Xu's true energy was more condensed and purer than most first-level monks.
As we all know, the true essence of Dahuang monks is tempered by Yin Qi.
During this process, it is difficult to completely purify the Yin evil spirit - even if you use the highest level of techniques, there will be more or less impurities remaining.
To a large extent, these impurities with cold attributes will become a fetter on the monks' future strength and even a hidden danger.
It will also bring great risks to the monks in the process of breaking through.
Chu Fengge is relatively lucky.
He grew up under the personal guidance of Luo Chuan, the head of the Exorcism Department, and he also practiced Luo Chuan's self-created high-grade technique "Lexing Jue".
The reason why top-grade exercises are precious is that they contain the top experts’ understanding of the great ways of heaven and earth; and in terms of purifying true essence, they are also more efficient than ordinary exercises.
One of the advantages of "The Art of Stars" is that it can help monks cleanse the remaining evil spirits in their meridians after nightfall, using the light of the stars.
Therefore, the true energy of Chu Fengge who practices "Lexing Jue" is much purer than that of ordinary monks - this allows him to be able to compete with the first level even though he is only in the fourth level. The monks from the fifth realm wrestled with each other.
Although Chu Fengge doesn’t want to admit it...
But he could clearly sense that Gu Xu's level of concentration of true energy was no less than his own who practiced "The Art of Stars".
"Xu San, do you know what kind of technique Gu Xu is practicing?" Thinking of this, Chu Fengge turned his head and asked his follower Xu San.
"Sir, according to the records in the files of the Yishui Exorcism Department, Gu Xu practiced the "Guiyuan Jue"." Xu San replied respectfully.
"Guiyuan Jue"?
A bad street technique that almost every monk in Daqi has?
A mediocre exercise with no special effects that is only worth five hundred merit?
How is this possible?
"Xu San, you should know that if you fool me, you will lose your head." Chu Fengge said coldly.
"I don't dare," Xu San immediately lowered his head and answered tremblingly, "But...but that's really what is written in Gu Xu's file."
Chu Fengge He snorted and felt that it was outrageous.
Inadvertently, he glanced at Gu Xu, who was in the corner with his eyes closed, and became a little more wary of this kid.
