Chapter 74 I refuse
After lunch, Shi Xiaohan left Gu Xu’s house.
The small room fell silent again.
"I wonder if this priceless snow ginseng can extend my life..." Gu Xu looked at the empty bowl in front of him, and this thought came to his mind.
While he was thinking this, he took out a copper coin from his pocket, tossed it up gently, and silently recited the name of God, trying to get the answer to the question through divination.
In the blink of an eye, the copper coin clattered onto the table.
Back side up.
This obviously proves that snow ginseng can only improve his physical health to a certain extent, but it cannot increase his longevity - if he cannot reach the seventh realm before the age of thirty, reshape Even though his body was extraordinary and holy, he would still die young.
"Maybe that astrology book is right," he thought secretly, "The reason why I have a short life is due to my fate... My physical weakness and illness are just incidental. It’s just an effect...
“But the problem is, if I am really the wealthy and powerful Ziwei destiny, why am I still so poor now? ”
Looking at his simple and narrow house, the old and simple furniture, and the few pills on hand, he couldn't help but shake his head.
…………
Then, as usual, Gu Xu sat cross-legged on the bamboo mat, took an "Eternal Brightness Pill", closed his eyes, and silently recited " Enter the cultivation state using the formula "Red Flame True Art".
The Yin Qi between heaven and earth turned into a whirlpool and poured into his body. Then, under his repeated tempering, it turned into true energy as hot as lava, roaring in his meridians.
An hour passed.
When the efficacy of the "Changming Pill" was exhausted, he successfully advanced to the realm of "The Second Song of Huangquan" step by step.
At this time, he clearly felt that the true energy power in his body had become more powerful and powerful than before.
…………
This afternoon, Gu Xu did three things at home: improving his realm, practicing the "Meteor Walking on the Moon" movement technique, and perfecting the third-generation "Tai Shang Arctic" Demon-suppressing and demon-killing talisman."
In addition, he also entertained two guests at home.
The first guest was Shi Xiaohan's maid named "Chen Xi". She was a young girl with delicate features and light freckles on her face.
Chen Xi was originally the personal maid of Shi Xiaohan's grandmother Zhao Chanyi - at that time, her name was still called "Nian Xue".
When Xiaohan got married, Zhao Chanyi gave this maid to Shi Xiaohan.
Shi Xiaohan felt that the name "Nian Xue" was too feminine and graceful and did not fit with his bold and uninhibited heroine style, so he changed the maid's name to "Qingshuang".
"Qingshuang" means that the sword light is as green as frost.
In the Daqi Dynasty, the term "Zidian Qingshuang" was often used to refer to swords.
Later, Shi Xiaohan felt that the artistic conception of the name "Qingshuang" was too serious, so he changed the maid's name to "Chenxi", which means "brightness in the morning".
After learning these things, Gu Xu felt very sympathetic to the maid.
In just one year, I changed my name twice. It is probably not easy to adapt to it.
"Master Gu, this is a gift from my lady," the maid Chenxi respectfully handed three bottles containing "Eternal Brightness Pill" into Gu Xu's hands after curtsying. , "Please accept it."
"Please convey my gratitude to your lady for me!" Gu Xu took the porcelain bottle and said with a sincere smile. At this moment, he could no longer count how many pills he owed Shi Xiaohan.
"When I gain strength and money in the future, I will repay her slowly..." He thought helplessly.
The second guest is Ma Qin, the newly promoted Ninth Rank Inspector of the Yishui Exorcism Department.
As soon as he walked into Gu Xu's house, Ma Qin clasped his hands and bowed his head to the ground towards Gu Xu.
"Brother Ma, there's no need to be polite! Let's talk about something!" Seeing this scene, Gu Xu immediately stepped forward and helped Ma Qin up.
"I'm here to thank Mr. Gu for saving my life." Ma Qin raised his head and said sincerely.
“Life-saving grace?”
Gu Xu frowned slightly.
Since participating in the promotion assessment in the illusion of "Wen Guhu", he has never performed any mission with Ma Qin, let alone when he saved Ma Qin's life.
"It was you who drew the 'ghost-killing talisman', Mr. Gu," Ma Qin quickly answered Gu Xu's confusion, "Yesterday I received a task, asking me to kill a monster named The ghost of 'Xi Nang'
"This ghost's vitality is much stronger than I imagined. I exhausted all my true energy and only chopped it to pieces, but failed to chop it to death. It also has the ability to recover quickly. If I hadn't exchanged five of the 'ghost-killing charms' you drew in the warehouse before, I probably wouldn't have been able to come back here alive. "
"Brother Ma, this is the 'ghost-killing talisman' that you exchanged for yourself based on your own ability. There is no need to come and thank me. "Gu Xu waved his hand and responded.
"No, no, no," after hearing his words, Ma Qin immediately shook his head, "Master Gu, this is because of the 'ghost-killing talisman' you drew. It's different and frighteningly powerful - if this talisman had been drawn by someone else, I'm afraid it wouldn't be enough to help me escape from danger. "
"What is the effect of using the 'Ghost Killing Talisman' on that 'Xi Nang'? "As a monk who loves to research and improve spells, Gu Xu couldn't help but ask.
"Very good," Ma Qin replied without thinking. "At that time, before I could react, the 'Xi Nang' instantly turned into ashes.
"Now, Mr. Gu, your ghost-killing Talisman is quite popular in our yamen! This month's talismans have all been redeemed, and even next month's share has been booked in advance!
"Alas, it's a pity that I don't have the talent to learn Talisman Tao, otherwise I would definitely worship you as my teacher and learn how to draw the 'Ghost Killing Talisman' from you!"
…………
After Ma Qin left, Gu Xu sat back on the bamboo mat, preparing to start practicing the "solar eclipse" spell and continue to strengthen his spiritual consciousness.
However, at this moment, the "God Machine Token" on his desk once again shone brightly.
"Is there a new mission at Shenji Camp?"
He stood up, walked to the desk, reached out and picked up the token.
A few lines of text suddenly appeared in his field of vision:
"The Lu family's haunted house in Qingzhou Prefecture has been haunted for many years. The Exorcism Department has sent people to investigate many times, but to no avail. Please take over. To the taskmaster..."
"I refuse!"
After Gu Xu read this, he immediately put the 'divine machine token' back to its original place and ignored it.
Are you kidding?
The case of the haunting of Lu's haunted house is a case that even the fourth-level monk Chu Fengge cannot solve. Let me, a weak, pitiful and helpless second-level monk, solve it?
This simply wants me to die!
