Chapter 63 Shi Xiaohan's Joy
A few minutes later, Gu Xu put on the "Qiyao Suit" and the black gauze hat, and came to the Yishui County Exorcism Department Yamen.
His elixir has been exhausted.
If he wants to continue practicing, he must take on new tasks, earn merit, and exchange for elixirs.
So he came to the task bulletin board.
Since he successfully passed the promotion assessment and became the eighth-level exorcist, he will undoubtedly be able to access tasks that are more difficult and more rewarding.
Now, he no longer looks down upon missions that reward less than one hundred meritorious deeds.
His eyes mainly focused on tasks that rewarded more than two hundred meritorious deeds - tasks of this level, he had to hug Shi Xiaohan's thigh before to get to them.
But now, he has the ability to execute independently.
Soon, a task that rewards three hundred meritorious deeds attracted Gu Xu’s attention:
"There is a strong gloom near Xunliu Street in Yishui County, and it is suspected that someone is possessed by something sneaky. Please find out the situation as soon as possible and deal with the ghosts involved."
"Xunliu Street? That is not the business district of Yishui County "Why do ghosts appear in such a crowded place?" Gu Xu felt a little strange about this.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
Gu Xu felt that this task would definitely not be as simple as described on the bulletin board.
However, the reward of three hundred meritorious deeds was too tempting for him.
This made him unable to help but take out the three copper coins he carried with him from his pocket, throw them up six times in a row, and skillfully use the "six-line divination method" to try to predict the bad luck of this task.
The result is "Zhenshang and Lixia", which is the hexagram of "Thunder, Fire and Feng".
According to the explanation in his memory, "feng" means grand, which is supposed to be a good omen, but prosperity must inevitably decline. There are also hidden worries in abundance, so you need to be extra careful.
So Gu Xu hesitated.
Although he is very greedy for these three hundred meritorious deeds, he does not want to put himself in danger - even if there is only a small possibility that he will be in danger.
Just as he was concentrating on thinking, a light and sweet voice suddenly came from not far away -
"Gu Xu, you are finally willing to come to the Yamen today!"
Gu Xu raised his voice. At first glance, I saw Shi Xiaohan's petite and exquisite figure.
She was walking towards him from inside the house with a smile.
Although she was carrying a heavy "Kunwu Knife" on her back, she walked extremely lightly, jumping up and down like a little sparrow happily looking for food.
Under the sunlight, her fair face glowed with a luster, as smooth and clear as white porcelain.
"Shi Nuxia, I haven't seen you for a few days. I thought you had gone into seclusion to break through the realm." Gu Xu said with a smile, looking at her oval face with a dimple like a flower.
"Master Chen hasn't come back yet, and I can't apply to enter the 'Mingzhi Hall' yet," Shi Xiaohan shrugged and responded, "Besides, breaking through the third level 'Naihe Bridge' is harder than I imagined. There are many difficulties, and I still have no clue."
"Do you really hope to gain a powerful magical power when you break through the realm?" Gu Xu read through the practice books and easily guessed what she had encountered. troubles.
"Yes," Shi Xiaohan nodded, "The elders in my family wrote in their practice notes, 'Supernatural power is the embodiment of spiritual will, and it is also what everyone's soul blooms in desperate situations. Flower'.
"They say that to awaken supernatural powers, you need not only extraordinary talent and strong will, but also strong emotional stimulation.
"But I don't know how to find the so-called strong emotional stimulation. I can't find it. Let's have an excuse to quarrel with my father...
"Gu Xu, I know you have read a lot of books. Do you have any ideas on this issue?"
Gu Xu thought After a moment, he replied: "For example... after going through hardships and obstacles, you completed a mission with rich rewards and felt a strong sense of accomplishment?"
"You guys, your mind is really full of tasks and tasks. Bonus – Any other suggestions? ”
"Such as getting rich overnight?"
"I'm not interested in money. Think about it again."
"Then let me think about it again... If you come to Piaoxiang with full expectations Building, I wanted to have a delicious meal and taste the sweet and sour carp and braised chicken there, but unexpectedly found that Piaoxiang Building closed down, and the boss and his wife ran away overnight..."
Hearing him At these words, the smile on Shi Xiaohan's face gradually faded.
The sense of immersion was so strong that she started to get angry.
"Then I'd rather not break through!" She pouted and clenched her fists angrily, like a fledgling bird. Seeing her like this, Gu Xu unconsciously had an impulse to reach out and touch her head, straightening out her messy temples like a cat.
But he still restrained the idea.
Shi Xiaohan's height is only about one and a half meters tall.
She has been deeply troubled by this.
She was afraid that if someone touched her head, she would become taller.
Therefore, anyone who wanted to touch her head, such as Cui Tianyou or the housekeeper of the Shi family mansion, received a severe beating from her.
Gu Xu is a person who cherishes life. He didn't dare to put himself in danger.
…………
“By the way, Gu Xu, are you planning to take on a new task now?” After a moment, Shi Xiaohan looked at the bulletin board in front of him and asked Gu Xu Asked, "How about I go with you? I haven't killed ghosts in recent days, and the sword on my back is already thirsty."
What Gu Xu was waiting for was her words.
"Okay!" He smiled without thinking.
The divination results just now told him that there might be some hidden worries in this mission.
However, if sometimes Xiaohan, a practitioner who has almost half a foot in the third realm, goes together, he can feel more confident even in the face of sudden crises.
Hearing his words, Shi Xiaohan's face suddenly burst into a smile.
She stood on tiptoes, reached out and patted Gu Xu on the shoulder: "I know you are lacking merit now. This time, all the rewards will be yours, and I won't share them equally with you."
Gu Xu My heart felt warm, but I still said firmly: "But I can't let you work in vain..."
"After the mission is over, just take me to your house for a meal!" Shi Xiaohan held his chest with one hand, touched his chin with the other, and said in a big sisterly manner.
Unfortunately, due to her height, her posture does not look majestic, only cute.
"Okay then." Gu Xu knew that now was not the time to be pretentious.
Therefore, the two of them immediately left the Exorcism Department and walked side by side along the street paved with bluestones towards the destination of the mission - Xunliu Street.
While walking, Shi Xiaohan seemed to be looking straight ahead with his head upright, but in fact he couldn't help but secretly glance at the handsome profile of the young man next to him from the corner of his eye——
The early morning sun cast a golden halo on the outline of his face, making him look even more dazzling than before.
However, once Gu Xu showed signs of turning his head to look at her, she would immediately look away, pretending to be nonchalant, even a little cold.
"Xiaohan, you seem to be very happy today!" Gu Xu suddenly said.
"No!" Shi Xiaohan immediately denied, "Where did you see that?"
"I see you jumping and jumping when you walk, and you don't lower your head to look at your feet. You are about to step on horse manure. You didn’t even notice it.”
“Ah——”
Hearing his words, Shi Xiaohan looked down and screamed.
Her exquisite and clean embroidered shoes were less than half an inch away from a pile of smelly horse manure.
She immediately pulled her feet back in fear.
“Gu Xu, you didn’t remind me earlier!”
“I thought that Shi Nuxia, as a second-level monk, with your powerful spiritual consciousness, should have discovered it long ago—— ”
“——Don’t laugh! ”
“I didn’t laugh, I didn’t laugh”
