Chapter 117 High Grade Spell
After a day of indulgence, Gu Xu’s life is back on track.
When the sun rose, he took the pamphlet Chu Fengge gave him to the lobby of the Yishui Exorcism Department and met his boss Chen Jisheng again.
"Have you encountered any troubles again?" Chen Jisheng put down the official document in his hand, raised his head and asked, "Do you need my help?"
Gu Xu shook his head and said, "I It’s just a difficult choice and I would like to seek Mr. Chen’s advice.”
"Difficult to choose?"
Gu Xu put the pamphlet Chu Fengge gave him on Chen Jisheng's desk and said with a smile: "After I complete the task of Lu's Haunted House, I can choose a top-grade Spells as rewards. But there are so many good things written in this catalog that I can’t see them all.”
“Gu Xu, aren’t you known as ‘Reading the Classics’?” Chen Jisheng laughed. "Shouldn't you know this kind of thing better than me?"
"The authorities are confused, but the bystanders are clear," Gu Xu responded, "It is precisely because I have read many books and understood many things. There are many spells, so I know that the things written in this catalog are all excellent, and it is easier to have the idea of 'I want them all'.
"It might be better for you, Mr. Chen. It’s clear to the point what I need most right now. ”
"You mean I am ill-read and ignorant?" Chen Jisheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a joking tone.
“I dare not,” Gu Xu shook his head and immediately denied, “I want to say that Mr. Chen has a sharp eye.”
“You boy, you are really good at talking.” Chen Jisheng smiled lightly and said, "No wonder the girl likes him so much."
Gu Xu remained silent.
Seeing his appearance, Chen Jisheng stopped smiling, then took the pamphlet and began to read its contents carefully.
On each page of the booklet, there is written the name and brief introduction of a high-quality spell.
In addition, it also records the cultivation experiences of some predecessors.
After all, the biggest difference between high-grade spells and mid-grade spells is that they contain the true meaning of the Great Dao - only after understanding the true meaning of the Great Dao can the power of high-grade spells be fully unleashed.
This also means that when monks practice high-grade spells, they need to conform to the philosophy of the founder of the spell to a certain extent.
If the three views are not consistent, it will be difficult to achieve positive results.
For example, a person who is kind-hearted and soft-hearted will never be able to develop the murderous "Asura Body"; a person who lingers among flowers will never be able to develop the "Forgetfulness Technique" that requires cutting off the worldly bond.
Therefore, the practice and understanding of the predecessors has great reference value in the process of selecting spells for future generations.
On the title page of this book, there is also a line written by Luo Chuan, the head of the Exorcism Department: "The most powerful one is what suits you."
"You Do you have any tendency to choose?" Chen Jisheng asked Gu Xu while flipping through the book, "Would you like the movement type, the control type, or——"
"——The more lethal, the better. "Yes." Gu Xu stood nearby and said without hesitation.
He knew that he now needed a highly lethal spell.
Although the "Ghost Killing Talisman" also has strong power.
But after all, it is only effective against ghosts and monsters, and poses no threat to humans.
If he encounters humans like Tang Hui who are more afraid of ghosts than ghosts in the future, Gu Xu does not have enough deterrent means at hand yet.
…………"The Art of Inducing Thunder", "The Curse of Falling the Sea", "Jade Rainbow Penetrating the Sun", "Sea of Purgatory Fire", "Mountain Tai's Pressure", "Stars Falling and Earthquake", "Luan Soaring and Phoenix Dance" "Chasing the Wind and Snow" 》……
The names of every spell in this catalog looked quite impressive, and coupled with the miraculous descriptions, Chen Jisheng was dazzled by it, and even he himself was faintly moved by it.
"How about this spell?" Chen Jisheng pointed to a page in the book and said to Gu Xu, "If I remember correctly, you have just practiced a new fire attribute skill recently. It should be quite suitable for it."
Gu Xu took a serious look and then said with a smile: ""Seven Styles of Burning Heaven"... Mr. Chen, there has been no one in the Exorcism Department for this kind of magic for nearly a hundred years. I’ve done it. You really have confidence in me!”
The first message on this page is as follows:
"This spell is powerful and easy to learn. If you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
The following messages are:
"Senior, you mistaken me!"
"No. This message is a lie, don’t believe it! You will regret it for the rest of your life if you choose it!” br>
"If I unfortunately die while practicing the "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven", please help me collect my body."
"This spell looks like a book from heaven... If anyone I could understand it, so I knelt down and called him grandpa."
"Five years have passed...I haven't even learned the first step of the "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven". Is it really for people?”
“…”
It does seem a bit daunting.
Chen Jisheng raised his head, looked at Gu Xu and said with a smile: "Boy named Gu, you have already had an idea in your mind, right?"
"When I turn to this page, your eyes will ache A bit brighter than usual - if I guess correctly, you are not here to seek advice at all, but to find confidence in me, right? "
Gu Xu nodded without denying: "Master Chen really understands me. "
He paused for a moment, and then continued: "The founder of this "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven" is Senior Chiyangzi - he is the master of the contemporary Da Qi State Master, and he once had a level close to the eighth level. The peak level of cultivation is only one step away from ascending to immortality.
“Back then, he used to rely on the "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven" to be almost invincible in the entire wilderness - there should be no spells stronger than it in this catalog.
"Because Senior Chiyangzi is also a Talisman Master and is good at formations - so I guess that the reason why the "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven" is so difficult to learn is because it involves the secrets of Talisman Dao and formations, which is more difficult than ordinary The spell is much more complex.
“Plus it’s a fire-attribute spell, and I feel like it’s tailor-made for me. "
Gu Xu's words may sound a little arrogant, but his tone of voice is very calm, as if he is describing a matter of course.
"Then why are you hesitating? ? Chen Jisheng asked, "Based on what I know about you, you shouldn't be the kind of person who would be intimidated by its difficulty." "
Gu Xu replied lightly: "Because when senior Chiyangzi was just one step away from ascending to immortality, he suddenly went crazy, abandoned his cultivation, and became a helpless man. A powerful mortal, he died of illness two years later.
"So I suspect that there may be something wrong with the 'true meaning' he is looking for."
