Chapter 125 Emergency
In the next month, Gu Xu locked himself in the room almost every day, seizing all the time to practice hard.
With the ten bottles of "Eternal Life Pill" he recently acquired, he successfully upgraded his cultivation level from "The Fourth Song of Underworld" to the "Sixth Song of Underworld" according to the plan.
He also successfully developed the fourth generation "Tai Shang Arctic Demon Suppressing and Ghost Killing Talisman" - compared with the third generation, its power is greatly enhanced, and it is enough to deter even "evil" level ghosts. force.
In addition, he also entered the "realm of discussion" twice on November 15th and the first day of the twelfth lunar month, defeating two opponents respectively.
The first opponent's code name is "Bifang", and he is a monk who is good at fire-attribute spells.
As soon as the duel began, blazing fire spread out in the ring, almost turning the entire "Realm of Taoism" into a bright and dazzling sea of fire, with extremely powerful momentum.
Gu Xu recognized it at a glance. It was a mid-grade spell called "The Flame Tribulates the Prairie Fire".
Perhaps because this is the opponent's specialty move, the temperature of this sea of fire and the murderous intention hidden in it are more terrifying than expected.
But Gu Xu was not afraid.
After all, if you want to compete with the ability to play with fire, there is no magic that can match the "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven" that he has mastered.
He smiled faintly and displayed "Firefly Flame".
Compared with the monstrous sea of fire that covered the entire "Realm of Taoism", the light of the fireflies was so weak that it was almost invisible.
However, at this moment, the sea of fire suddenly extinguished.
The opponent named "Bi Fang" stayed in place, unable to understand why his spell suddenly lost control.
Before he could recover, he was instantly burned to ashes by Gu Xu's "Firefly Flame".
As a result, Gu Xu won his third point and his ranking rose from fourth to third.
…………
The second opponent’s codename is “Qingluan” and he is a rare Talisman Master.
After entering the "Realm of Taoism", "Qingluan" spent some time and drew more than ten various talismans with the pen and paper placed beside the ring.
During the waiting time, Gu Xu, because he was bored, also accompanied the other party to draw talisman, while thinking about improvement plans for various talismans and seals in his mind.
Then the two men each carried a stack of talismans and stepped onto the ring.
"Binding Talisman", "Evil Talisman", "Aura Talisman", "Fire Flame True Talisman"...
As the saying goes, people who work together have been enemies since ancient times.
The two talisman masters cast a variety of talismans one after another like dealing cards, neither willing to lag behind the other.
At this time, "Qingluan" was surprised to find that the opponent named "Suzaku" clearly used the same talismans as her, but the power of those talismans was much stronger than the ones she drew.
For example, the temperature of the flame of the opponent's "True Flame Talisman" is higher than what she drew herself;
For another example, the opponent can easily solve the problem with the "Desolation Talisman" He opened his own "body-binding talisman", but his own "defilment-removing talisman" could not unlock the opponent's "body-binding talisman"...
So "Qingluan" simply lost.
The most desperate thing in the world is to be defeated by your opponent using exactly the same moves.
"This guy named 'Suzaku'...why is the talisman he drew different from the one in the book?"
After leaving the "Realm of Taoism", this question has been in the mind of "Qingluan" Lingering.
Since both of them are only second-level monks, "Qingluan" does not think that the other party has the ability to improve the spells on his own - because that is something that only experienced Talisman masters can do.
"Maybe...he has a good teacher who is proficient in the art of talisman and seal script!" "Qingluan" secretly guessed, his heart full of envy.
In this way, Gu Xu won his fourth point and his ranking rose from third to second.
The first place is still "Qilin".
Although "Qilin" lost one point to Gu Xu before, he later easily won two games with the help of the "Tianlong Domain" that suppressed Wanfa and the tactics of disguising a female voice, and now has six points.
…………
However, Gu Xu’s research on the follow-up moves of “Seven Burning Sky Styles” and the “Jinghong Brush” did not go so smoothly.
The second page of "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven" is the same as the first page. It also consists of dots and lines forming complicated runes, and then the runes form a complex and unpredictable picture.
However, when Gu Xu tried to crack it using the same method, he failed.
"Could it be that... the method of cracking each page of "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven" is different?" He guessed, "Or, certain conditions must be met before you can start learning its second chapter. Style? "Oh, no wonder no one has been able to fully master this spell after so many years. This is simply not something that normal people can learn to understand. "
And "Jinghong Bi" also didn't give him face.
Although he has completely mastered the magic of "Thousands of Mountains and Birds Flying Absolutely", You can also rely on the "Jinghong Brush" to make the talismans you draw more powerful.
But he knew very well that the "Jinghong Pen", as one of the twelve famous weapons of the Great Desolation, had more than that.
Logically speaking, every line of poetry and every painting can be used to construct a brand new spell with the help of "Jinghong Brush".
However, Gu Xu silently wrote all the "Three Hundred Tang Poems" from his previous life, but the "Jinghong Pen" did not respond at all.
As for the new weapon spirit, there is no sign that it will be born.
This made him couldn't help but sigh, Dahuang's famous weapons are really the ancestors of weird tempers - it is clear that I am the master, but it keeps playing tricks and refuses to be obedient at all.
.........
During this period, Gu Xu also took on several ghost-killing missions.
But all I encountered were low-level ghosts at the level of "wandering souls" and "wild ghosts".
He only needs less than 20% of his strength to kill these ghosts easily.
Absolutely boring.
…………
Gu Xu’s peaceful life lasted until the second day of the twelfth lunar month in the twenty-third year of Tianxing.
Tomorrow (the third day of the twelfth lunar month) is Xiaohan in the 24 solar terms, and it is also Shi Xiaohan’s eighteenth birthday - because eighteen years ago, Shi Xiaohan was born on the day of "Xiaohan", so Was given this name.
And her birthday does not have a fixed date, but is celebrated every year during "Xiaohan".
"Gu Xu, tomorrow is my birthday. I want to invite you to my house for dinner."
On this day, as soon as Gu Xu came to the Yamen, he received an invitation from Shi Xiaohan.
The petite girl looked up at him at a forty-five-degree angle, her bright almond eyes filled with anticipation.
Because he knew what the girl was thinking about him, Gu Xu would feel a little complicated every time he saw her expression like this.
However, when he looked down and saw her big, clear eyes, Gu Xu couldn't bear to refuse her request.
So he nodded silently.
Anyway, as long as that piece of paper is not broken, the two of them are just ordinary colleagues - it is only natural to help colleagues celebrate their birthdays.
Hearing his words, Shi Xiaohan immediately jumped up with joy, with a pair of cute dimples on his face, and his laughter was as sweet as a silver bell.
Her laughter seems to have a unique magic that makes people happy and happy.
Like a warm and refreshing spring breeze, it can instantly blow away all worries and worries.
However, at this moment, Chen Jisheng hurriedly walked into the room with a particularly solemn expression on his face.
Gu Xu stood up straight.
Shi Xiaohan stopped smiling.
The spring breeze in the house disappeared in an instant, and it returned to the chilling coldness of winter.
"Gu Xu, Shi Xiaohan, there is an emergency in the yamen, and you need to come with me to deal with it immediately."
"What happened?" Hearing Chen Jisheng's words, Gu Xu thought in his heart There was an ominous premonition.
Shi Xiaohan couldn't help but take a deep breath, his heart rising in his throat.
I heard Chen Jisheng say solemnly:
"A clerk from Yishui Yamen went crazy while practicing at home. He has been completely swallowed by the yin energy and turned into a monster. We This matter must be resolved as soon as possible to prevent it from harming the surrounding people.”
