Chapter 123 Who is "Suzaku"?
Based on Shi Xiaohan’s previous description, Gu Xu knew that Shi Lei, a Qianhu in Laizhou Prefecture, was a tough-minded and capable official.
Officials of all sizes in the Exorcism Department of Laizhou Prefecture are in awe of him.
But at home, this Shi Qianhu is a complete "daughter control".
Shi Xiaohan is Shi Lei’s only child.
For more than ten years, he has always regarded his daughter as the apple of his eye, holding it in his hands for fear of falling, and holding it in his mouth for fear of melting.
Even though the father and daughter are now hundreds of miles apart, Shi Lei still writes letters to Shi Xiaohan every day. The contents of the letters are similar to "Have you had enough for three meals today?" Did I bully you?", "Did Chen Xi take good care of you today?", "Remember to bring the amulet I gave you when you go out to do tasks," "Be sure to put out the fire when you go out."... Such things are trivial for parents.
Shi Xiaohan often showed these letters to Gu Xu, and complained to him: "My father is so annoying! I am seventeen years old now, and I am still an eighth-rank official! He actually treats me Treat her like a child! She talks about these trivial things in her letters every day. She is even more verbose than my old lady who washes dishes!”
Every time he hears her remarks like this, Gu Xu will be surprised. He smiled and said to her: "Xiaohan, you have to try to understand that your father also has his own difficulties - you two are the closest relatives in the world, but you live so far away, he will inevitably think about you all the time. Your safety, your health, and whether you are happy..."
"But I can take care of myself now!" Shi Xiaohan pouted, still feeling dissatisfied.
Gu Xu sighed lightly and said no more.
In his previous life, when he was studying in college abroad, his parents would also make video calls to him every day, asking him again and again, "Is the food in the cafeteria delicious?" Clothes", "Have you met a female classmate you like?" and other questions.
At that time, he was also very impatient with his parents’ nagging.
But now, when he came to this different world alone and became an orphan with both parents dead, he missed the feeling of being cared about very much.
"I didn't expect that I would have to meet Shi Xiaohan's father so soon..." Gu Xu thought to himself as he looked at the notice of "Magic Token".
Perhaps because he noticed Shi Xiaohan's thoughts about him a few days ago, Gu Xu's mood at this time was still a bit complicated.
After all, if he did not have the talent of [Unlucky Genius] - or if he did not have the "Purple Fate" that shortened his life, this journey to the Laoshan ruins to explore the immortal inheritance would not have been possible. This will be his first trip to meet his future father-in-law.
“No matter what, I must make serious preparations when I go to Immortal Cave in the first month of next year,” he thought, “although I don’t know whether the things left by Kongxuan Sanren will help me with my lifespan. , but as long as there is a ten thousandth chance, I will try my best.
"As far as I know, the monks who went to Laoshan Immortal Cave this time have the highest cultivation level.
“Although I possess the ‘Jinghong Pen’ and recently mastered the ‘Firefly Flame’ spell in the ‘Seven Styles of Burning Heaven’, I can still do it even if I have a head-on confrontation with a third-level monk.
"However, every monk in the 'Shenji Camp' is a cultivation genius carefully selected from all over the country, and they are not fuel-efficient lamps - I cannot be careless in competing with them for the inheritance of immortals.
< br>"In his cave, Kongxuan Sanren will probably also set a difficult test for those who come after him.
“Furthermore, since a mysterious massacre occurred around Laoshan in the first year of Tianxing, it has been a dangerous area often haunted by demons and ghosts - although at that time, Xiaohan's father sometimes protected us all the way. , but it is difficult for him to take good care of all the young monks in the reserve force of the 'Shenji Camp'.
"I must have the ability to protect myself and prepare enough trump cards for myself, and I must never risk my life completely. Place your trust in others. ”
Thinking of this, Gu Xu took out another booklet from the drawer and quickly wrote on the paper with charcoal:
"My November practice goals:
"First, practice hard and strive to break through to the realm of 'The Sixth Song of Huangquan' as soon as possible;
"Second, master the 'Jinghong Bi' as soon as possible 'More uses of 'Yingyan' - if it can breed new weapon spirits, that would be great;
"Third, become proficient in using 'Yingyan' as soon as possible, and try to understand the "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven" 》The second type;
“Fourth, draw all kinds of symbols, the more the better;”…”
…………
This afternoon.
Princess Zhaoning Xiao Wanjun rode a gorgeously decorated carriage to the headquarters of the Exorcism Department located on the northwest outskirts of Luojing City.
Despite Princess Zhaoning’s noble status.
But when she arrived, Luo Chuan, the head of the exorcism department, was still sitting calmly on the observatory, concentrating on playing the seven-stringed guqin.
Only Shangguan Jin was sent to greet her at the door of the Exorcism Department.
As soon as he saw Princess Zhaoning, Shangguan Jin bowed his head and saluted her, and at the same time asked with a smile: "Your Highness, the princess, is visiting the headquarters of the Exorcism Department today. What are you doing?"
Both of them are good-looking young women.
Princess Zhaoning is known as "the most beautiful woman in Luojing". She has a graceful figure, beautiful eyebrows, and a pair of majestic and charming eyes. Although she is wearing men's clothes and no makeup, she is not It did not diminish her beauty, but instead added a bit of sassy and heroic spirit to her.
As for Shangguan Jin, although her facial features cannot be said to be particularly delicate and beautiful, she is distinguished by her long figure and slender waist. Although at first glance, it seems that she has not applied powder or rouge, but in fact, However, she used a lot of makeup techniques to make herself look pure, refined and charming.
The two stood in the sun, forming an extremely beautiful scenery.
"I want to come to the Exorcism Department to investigate the files of the personnel of the 'Shenji Battalion'," Princess Zhaoning replied, "There is a person in the reserve force of the 'Shenji Battalion' whose code name is 'Suzaku'. I am somewhat interested and hope to know his identity.”
Hearing the word “Suzaku”, Shangguan Jin suddenly became interested.
Last time in the "Realm of Taoism", she was inadvertently tricked by the "Suzaku", causing the duel to fail, losing one point, and ranking behind that bastard Chu Fengge.
She has always been upset about this.
At the same time, she was also very curious about what kind of person "Suzaku" was in reality. Not only did she know all kinds of formations and spells, but she also had the ability to decipher her "Meteor Walking on the Moon" step. legal ability.
She has been unable to view this just because she does not have sufficient permissions.
And now, the opportunity to know the identity of "Suzaku" has finally come.
