Chapter 37 The Chief’s Comment
Beyond the illusion, in the lobby of the government office.
Chu Fengge stared at the picture on the "Warming Pot" with extremely complicated mood.
Too fast.
It’s too fast.
Although Chu Fengge was mentally prepared for Gu Xu's outrageous talent...
But Gu Xu was able to take Ma Qin and successfully pass the Taoyuan Fantasy Land in less than an hour. It was still far beyond his expectation.
Gu Xu’s two ghost-killing talismans, one unexpectedly burned a room full of ghosts, and the other instantly killed the dream-eating tapir, both left a very deep impression on Chu Fengge.
Others may be surprised by Gu Xu’s exaggerated attainments in Talismans.
But what alarmed Chu Fengge was Gu Xu’s flexible mind and eclectic fighting style——
Everything around him, including plates, drinks, and even the people around him, can be used by Gu Xu and become his weapon.
And Gu Xu never follows the old ways.
The "Tai Shang Arctic Demon Suppressing and Demon Killing Talisman" passed down from generation to generation has long been modified beyond recognition by him.
The solemn "God-Inviting Curse" was also adapted by him at will.
He even whimsically carved the "Decontamination Talisman" into his sea of consciousness.
It can be said that when it comes to spiritual practice, Gu Xu is a person who has absolutely no scruples and no rules.
Chu Fengge couldn't imagine how terrifying a person like Gu Xu would become if he grew up and entered the real battlefield of life and death.
In addition, there is another thing about Gu Xu that makes Chu Fengge deeply jealous -
“How can this kid come up with so many arrogant and exciting lines during the battle? "Chu Fengge thought angrily, "This kind of lines should be spoken by me!"
For example, "This welcoming restaurant will no longer exist", such as "The stage has been set up." "... When Chu Fengge imitated Gu Xu's calm and indifferent tone and recited these sentences silently, he felt that he was so handsome.
Of course, Chu Fengge is a proud person - he doesn't bother to use second-hand lines, no matter how good they are.
He plans to ask his subordinates to help him think of some domineering words to use in battle after this assessment is over.
A line of poetry is obviously not enough.
Gu Xu will definitely be his strong enemy in the future, but he must not lose to him in terms of momentum.
…………
At this moment, the attendant Xu San suddenly came to Chu Fengge and said to him cautiously: "Master Chu, since Gu Xu and Ma Qin have passed the assessment, should we let them get out of the 'Wen Gu Pot' "Come out?"
Hearing this, Chu Fengge finally came back from his thoughts.
He then remembered that the consciousness of the two candidates was still trapped in the illusion of the pot.
So Chu Fengge immediately recited the formula and terminated the assessment.
The picture on the "Wen Gu Pot" gradually dimmed, then disappeared, returning to its original pure white appearance.
Gu Xu and Ma Qin, who were sitting cross-legged in the corner of the hall, slowly opened their eyes, as if they were waking up from a big dream.
Since they had just experienced a fierce battle in the "Warming Pot", they all looked a little exhausted at this time.
"Congratulations on passing the test of Taoyuan Illusion," Chu Fengge said expressionlessly, "Go and wait for the results outside the lobby."
"Yes, sir." The two responded. .
Although the fateful moment is approaching, both candidates are in a very calm mood. If Gu Xu's calmness stems from self-confidence.
Then Ma Qin’s calm state of mind comes from the fact that he has already chosen to lie down.
Ma Qin secretly decided that after the assessment results came out, he would check out of the inn as soon as possible, then take a carriage and secretly return to Qingzhou Mansion, and return to his original role as an ordinary little official.
Although the competition for jobs in Qingzhou Prefecture is fierce, it is difficult to get ahead.
But he felt that if he stayed in Yishui County for a long time, sooner or later he would be made doubtful about life by the evildoer Gu Xu.
…………
Headquarters of the Exorcist Department, Star Observation Deck.
After the assessment, the picture on the bronze mirror disappeared.
"Xiaojin, bring me a pen and inkstone."
The chief executive, Luochuan, was silent for a moment, and then ordered Shangguan Jin beside him.
"Yes, sir."
Shangguan Jin stood up immediately and quickly fetched Luo Chuan pen, ink, paper and inkstone, then knelt down beside the low table and polished ink for him.
Later, Luo Chuan picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and began to write assessment comments for the two candidates, Gu Xu and Ma Qin.
According to the past practice of the Exorcism Department, when candidate officials participate in the promotion assessment, the examiner or other senior officials will write comments to them, which will serve as an important reference for future personnel arrangements.
Under normal circumstances, it would not be Luo Chuan's turn to do such trivial things personally.
However, when Luochuan wanted to do it himself on a whim, no one in the entire exorcism department could stop him.
He first wrote down his comments on Ma Qin on a piece of white rice paper:
“More than stable, but not flexible enough; more than diligent, but less talented; being able to be an official, but difficult He is a man of his own. However, he is gentle, courteous and does good deeds, and he is not ashamed of being a fortune teller. If he is trained properly, he may benefit the people."
Shangguan Jin silently watched him write his comments.
Although this review describes both Ma Qin’s strengths and weaknesses.
But Shangguan Jin was familiar with Luo Chuan's character and knew that Luo Chief never praised others easily - in his writing, this passage was considered a high compliment.
With the personal review written by the head of the department, Ma Qin's body is equivalent to being plated with gold. In the future, his career in the Exorcism Department will become much smoother, and he will become the envy of many people.
Of course, Shangguan Jin also knew very well that it was because of Gu Xu's existence that Luo Sishou paid attention to an inconspicuous person like Ma Qin.
Later, Luochuan took out another piece of rice paper and prepared to write Gu Xu's comments.
This time he pondered for a long time and did not write.
Many words passed through his mind, but he felt they were not appropriate enough.
A few minutes later, he sighed softly, and finally slowly started to write, writing down his evaluation of Gu Xu:
"Smart and studious, brilliant and enlightened, not afraid of danger, and never fall into the trap. If not Those who die young will surely become the pillars of the building.”
When she saw this comment, Shangguan Jin couldn’t believe her eyes.
Such highly complimentary words... were they really written by the Chief Secretary himself?
This is not like the usual behavior of the Chief Secretary!
You know, even talented young people like herself and Chu Fengge failed to receive such high evaluations back then. Instead, Luo Sishou pointed out that they were not so high in a very harsh manner. Less lacking.
What is so special about this Gu Xu that actually made the chief executive change his nature?
Could it be that the Chief of Staff used divine magic to predict Gu Xu’s promising future?
Shangguan Jin felt incredible.
At this moment, a guard hurried up the stairs to the observatory, put a stack of documents on the table, then bowed to Luochuan and said:
"Tell the Chief Secretary, you sent Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoning has already read the ink scroll at the palace. This is the feedback she wrote."
