Chapter 100: Recognizing the Master
The "Golden Dragon Spear" suffused with golden and red light, and rushed towards Gu Xu with a momentum as strong as a mountain or a sea.
On its sharp spear tip is condensed the majestic true energy belonging to the fifth realm monk.
Although it is said that Gu Xu is a rare cultivation genius in the Da Qi Dynasty, his true energy is much stronger than that of monks in the same realm, and he also has a variety of ways to fight the enemy.
But the Tang Hui in front of him was three realms higher than him after all.
His meager strength was nothing compared to Tang Hui.
“I never expected that the first fatal attack I suffered after entering the Lu family’s haunted house was not from a ghost, but from my own kind!” At this moment, Gu A very ironic thought came to Xu's mind.
Due to the ferocity and speed of the "Golden Dragon Spear", there was no time to use the talisman.
In addition, Gu Xu can also see that the power of this "Golden Dragon Spear" has the effect of locking the enemy and tracking it - his half-baked "Meteor Walking on the Moon" movement technique cannot help him. Run for your life in this situation.
As for Chu Fengge next to him, he stood there stunned for a moment - except for shouting "Sir Chief, help me" through the "divine machine token", he could not think of any good way to save his life. Save Gu Xu in this short period of time.
"Master Chief, why do you want to give me such a difficult task?"
Chu Fengge thought to himself as he was about to cry without tears, while he pulled out the "Tiankui Sword" and struck Tang Hui fiercely. He slashed away, trying to distract Tang Hui and delay his movements.
But Tang Hui didn't care at all about Chu Fengge beside him.
His "Imperial Envoy Token" automatically generated a shining golden barrier, blocking Chu Fengge's offensive.
"It seems that my 'substitute bracelet' that can withstand a fatal attack must be used here today." Seeing this scene, Gu Xu's expression became solemn.
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened.
The desk drawer suddenly opened on its own with a creak.
Immediately afterwards, those colorful flower notes flew out of the drawer at the speed of a star moving electric switch.
It seemed to turn into countless colorful butterflies, dancing around Gu Xu.
Although in the face of the powerful spear of the "Golden Dragon Spear", these colored papers looked too fragile and seemed vulnerable.
But Gu Xu was surprised to find that Tang Hui's overwhelming fatal blows were actually blocked by these delicate flower slips.
The "Golden Dragon Spear" suddenly stopped half a foot away from Gu Xu's chest.
It's like being stuck in a thick wall and can no longer move forward.
As for the surging gun intent, it suddenly reversed its direction and poured back towards Tang Hui - like a flood hitting a dam heavily.
Tang Hui immediately staggered back about ten steps, with a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, looking a little embarrassed.
Obviously, the backlash from the "Golden Dragon Spear"'s gunfire caused him some injuries.
At the same time, those colorful flower notes also turned into countless fragments at this moment, like the fine snow in early winter, falling leisurely under the pale starlight, like a dream.
The thoughts that the melancholy girl quietly recorded under the candlelight disappeared and turned into dust.
Leave no trace.
Gu Xu looked at the scattered shreds of paper on the ground and said solemnly: "Thank you, Miss Lu, for saving my life."
He noticed that there was a faint trace of blood on the surface of the shredded paper on the ground.
Obviously, Lu Shiyao’s remnant soul had paid a high price to save him just now.
Hearing his words, "Jinghong Pen" Qi Ling said lightly: "Miss said that you were forced to get involved in these grudges because of her. If Tang Hui hurt you, she I will feel very guilty."
Gu Xu pondered for a moment, looked at the Jinghong pen in the box, looked at the "Frost Melt" spell written on the paper, and then looked at it and was pushed back to the corner. Tang Hui whispered to himself: "Maybe this is the so-called cause and effect!"
He came to the Lu family's haunted house on this trip. He only wanted to break the curse for Chen Jisheng and did not want to participate in the events of the past. In dispute.
But now, Tang Hui has murderous intentions towards him.
Gu Xu will never be merciful to an enemy who wants to kill him.
By the way, I also settled the grudges of the past for Lu Shiyao.
Thinking of this, he reached out and held the "Jinghong Pen" in the box.
This pen is slender and smooth, neither light nor heavy, and feels just right in the hand.
The moment Gu Xu took out the "Jinghong Pen", a picture full of fairy spirit appeared in his field of vision -
A fairy with fluttering clothes stood on the top of the mountain, holding a hand in his hand. The pen, using the sky as paper, is painting wantonly.
What flows out from the tip of his pen is not ink, but auspicious clouds and countless birds.
Gu Xu had seen this man's portrait in documents.
He quickly recognized that this was the ancestor of the Lu family in Qingzhou who was known as the "Immortal of Poetry" and the "Sage of Painting" and had once ascended to the immortal world.
"As far as the sea ends, the sky is the shore, and at the highest point of the mountain, I am the peak." I heard the immortal chanting loudly.
In an instant, several surrounding mountains collapsed.
It was as if after hearing his voice, I bowed my head in front of him.
…………
After that, the scenes of the previous owners of the "Jinghong Brush" appeared in Gu Xu's eyes, and he saw the scenes of them fighting the enemy with the help of poetic and painterly imagery.
Some of their works are unrestrained, some are soft, some are freehand, and some are exquisite.
There is the melancholy of "the shadows of flowers are in chaos and the sound of orioles are broken", and there is also the indignation of "the rainbow is drawn from the sea and the sword roars in the west wind".
Finally, he saw Lu Shiyao walking alone in the garden in early spring.
The girl has a slender figure and a slender build. Her plain clothes are fluttering in the wind. Her pale face is almost bloodless, like a weak white flower.
I saw her holding the "Jinghong Pen" and chanting in an ethereal and clear voice: "The white snow is too late for spring, so it flies through the trees in the garden."
In an instant, heavy snow fell to the ground one after another, dyeing the entire world a pure and flawless white.
…………
While seeing these pictures, Gu Xu also vaguely heard the voice of the "Jinghong Pen" weapon spirit:
"In After you become the master of 'Jinghong Pen', the first poem you think of will become a crucial spell for you in the future. ""The first poem..."
At this moment, Gu Xu thought of the Qingzhou Lu family that had been lost in history, the tragedy of Tang Hui's wanton massacre in Lu's house, the Yishan Snow Girl, the joys and sorrows written by Lu Shiyuan on the flower paper, and the The phrase she recited at the poetry meeting, "The heat and the cold are all alone in the wind and the moon, and the glory of the four seasons falls in the mist"...
He had the answer in his heart.
…………
His mind quickly returned to reality.
Although he experienced a long time in the illusion, in reality, it was only a short moment.
At this moment, he was holding the Jinghong pen tightly in his hand, facing Tang Huiyao.
Tang Hui stood by the wall, using his true energy to quickly repair his injuries, and prepared to use the "Golden Dragon Spear" to launch a second round of attacks on Gu Xu.
“It’s not enough,” Gu Xu silently calculated in his heart, “Even if I have the ‘Jinghong Pen’, I’m still not strong enough to kill him.”
He raised his head, Looking at the weapon spirit and the blue gauze cabinet bathed in starlight: "You will also take action, right?"
The weapon spirit smiled slightly and said: "How dare I disobey the master's order?"
The blue gauze cupboard also shook slightly, giving Gu Xu a positive reply.
Subsequently, Gu Xu used the talent of [Spirit Summoning Body] to try to communicate with the resentful spirits left behind by the family members of the inland family in Lu Zhai.
These resentful spirits are basically unconscious remnants, and only one "Ghost Killing Talisman" can make them all disappear.
However, if all their powers are brought together, they still cannot be underestimated.
Soon, they smelled the scent of the "Spirit Summoning Body" and gathered around Gu Xu.
"Lend me your power," he said calmly, "I will avenge you."
Hearing his words, the remaining souls of the Lu family members obediently gathered in "Jinghong" pen” nib.
Gu Xu could clearly feel their resentment towards Tang Hui.
Then, Gu Xu looked at Chu Fengge again: "Master Chu, can you lend me your true energy?"
Chu Fengge was stunned for a second, and suddenly thought of Gu Xu has the ability to borrow the true energy of other monks through the "Spell of Inviting God".
Back in the fantasy world of "Reviewing the Old Pot", Gu Xu borrowed Ma Qin's true energy to kill the "Dream-Eating Tapir".
"Okay." Chu Fengge agreed.
He was very curious about what methods Gu Xu would use to deal with enemies who were three realms higher than him.
I heard Gu Xu reciting the "God-Inviting Mantra" very fast:
"The sky is clear, the earth is bright, burn incense and pay homage to Lord Chu. Ten thousand stars shine, ten thousand stars Ming, hold the sword in your hand to kill evil spirits. If there is an evil star that does not fall, the evil ghosts will perish under your feet. Thousands of stars will shine, and ghosts and gods will be frightened. The divine soldiers are as hasty as the law.”
It seems a bit embarrassing to use this "God-Inviting Curse" on a mortal monk.
But Chu Fengge didn’t feel ashamed at all.
He even felt that it sounded particularly pleasant, which made him more comfortable than his subordinates flattering him.
"It feels so good when this guy Gu Xu praises me and begs me at the same time!" He thought silently.
Some random thoughts came to his mind——
For example, "If I don't agree, will Gu Xu ask me again?";
For example, "If I agree, will all my true energy be drained by that guy Gu Xu?";< br>
......
However, at this moment, Chu Fengge was surprised to find that Gu Xu's "God-inviting Curse" was not a request, but a command!
When Gu Xu wanted to borrow his true energy, he could only agree but not refuse!
In other words, Gu Xu is basically "forcibly expropriating" his true energy!
"What...what is going on?" When the true energy in his body was rapidly drained, Chu Fengge thought to himself in panic, "That kid is obviously just a second-level monk. He Why is the 'God-Inviting Curse' so overbearing?"
…………
Gu Xu did not notice the abnormality in Chu Fengge's face.
He was staring at Tang Hui in front of him intently.
When Chu Fengge's true energy poured towards him like a surging tide, he didn't know that he had forcibly commandeered Chu Fengge's true energy. He only thought that Chu Fengge agreed to his request.
"Just an ant, do you think you can beat me like this?" Tang Hui looked at Gu Xu with squinted eyes, a crazy smile appeared on his face.
Gu Xu smiled faintly and was too lazy to talk to him.
He picked up the "Jinghong Pen" and waved it gently.
…………
at the same time.
Luojing, Exorcism Department Headquarters, Star Observation Deck.
Luo Chuan, the head of the Exorcism Department, sat cross-legged in front of the desk.
In front of him, there was a simple bronze mirror.
Everything that happened to Gu Xu and Chu Fengge in the Lu family's haunted house emerged in front of him.
When Luochuan saw that Gu Xu had used the "God-Inviting Curse" to forcibly commandeer Chu Fengge's true energy, a hint of fanaticism appeared in his calm eyes.
“Zi Wei’s destiny is really overbearing.” He sighed secretly.
Then, the enthusiasm in his eyes flashed away, and he returned to his former appearance as deep as an ancient well.
