Chapter 147 It was obviously me who came first
Fourth Prince Xiao Shangzhen’s method is indeed effective.
When he persuaded "Bifang" Chu Wei to retreat in an aggressive manner, Chu Wei backed away repeatedly and never dared to ask anything about "Girl Qilin" again.
At the same time.
"Zhulong" Chen Yanping turned around and tried hard to hold back his laughter.
"Linghu" Shangguan Jin looked at the two people with interest, a meaningful smile on his face.
As for Gu Xu, when he saw the scene in front of him, he saw the identity of "Qilin".
The reason is simple.
On the one hand, Xiao Shangzhen was the only member of the Daqi royal family present;
On the other hand, although Xiao Shangzhen’s expression at the moment looked fierce, there was a faint hint of emotion in his eyes. A hint of fear and uneasiness can be seen.
Gu Xu smiled slightly without revealing it.
In such an occasion, there is no need to offend a Da Qi prince over such a trivial matter.
It is better to stay quietly and watch the excitement.
Of course, it is very difficult for someone like him to keep a low profile.
Even if he stayed in the corner of the room without saying a word.
His unconventional appearance still makes him attract the attention of many people inadvertently.
Especially for "face control" people like Shangguan Jin who are keen on appreciating all the beautiful things in the world.
Although Shangguan Jin once saw Gu Xu from a distance in the illusion of "Reviewing the Old Pot" with the help of Luo Sishou's bronze mirror.
But at this moment, she couldn't help but sigh that the real boy was obviously much more beautiful than the image in the bronze mirror.
"Why don't you make friends with him?" A thought came to her mind, "The Chief of Staff once said that he has a cultivation qualification that is rare in a century, and his future achievements will be extraordinary - if If you can form a friendship with him today, it will definitely be an investment worth your while.”
But... what excuse should I find to talk to him?
Shangguan Jin thought for a moment, then gently smoothed his hair and walked straight towards Gu Xu's location.
"Friend Zhuque, long time no see," she greeted Gu Xu with a smile, "Last time you used the 'Eight Illusion Formation' to break mine in the 'Realm of Taoism' Meteor walking on the moon', it impressed me very much!"
Hearing her voice, Gu Xu raised his head.
The girl in front of her is tall, has a slender waist, and her small face is not stunning, but it is attractive.
At first glance, people can't help but think - "This is what first love should look like."
“Fellow Taoist Spirit Fox?” Gu Xu smiled, “Or should I call you ‘Sir Shangguan’?”
Don’t look at this girl’s innocent appearance.
But Gu Xu still clearly remembers that in the "Realm of Discussing the Tao", she not only carried out sneak attacks without saying a word, but also possessed the mysterious magical power that could calculate the trajectory of his actions.
Only a fool would regard her as an innocent girl.
For such a role, Gu Xu did not dare to let down his guard.
Hearing Gu Xu’s words, Shangguan Jin responded with a smile:
“Since we have joined the ‘Shenji Camp’, then we are partners in pursuing the road and slaying demons. Why bother anymore? How to distinguish those boring official titles?
"To be honest, when I saw that Taoist friend was knowledgeable and had all kinds of knowledge and spells at his fingertips, I thought that Taoist friend was a dull and boring bookworm - but he turned out to be handsome. The funny young man is really surprising! ”
“Fellow Taoist Shangguan has received the award. "Gu Xu said calmly.
Praising without missing an opportunity is one of the best ways to win the favor of others.
Gu Xu is very familiar with this routine.
Seeing that Gu Xu had no reaction, Shangguan Jin lowered his head again and continued: "It's just that I haven't fully understood the method of calculating the direction of the stars that fellow Taoist told me last time. I know I'm a little stupid. , but fellow Taoist is an expert in this field. If you don’t mind, can you tell me more?”
“This is actually easy to understand,” Gu Xu replied succinctly, “You You should be able to understand it by comparing the Bagua array diagram with the constellation diagram."
He could tell at a glance that Shangguan Jin was "pretending not to understand."
Appropriate displays of weakness, as well as this seemingly trivial request, are also ways to bring two people closer.
Gu Xu is also familiar with this routine.
"But why did she suddenly come to me?" He secretly speculated in his heart, "A fourth-level monk like Lord Shangguan... actually wants something from me?"
Seeing Gu Xu's perfunctory attitude, Shangguan Jin also silently thought to himself: He doesn't seem to be doing this at all... His thoughts really don't look like that of a seventeen-year-old boy.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Shangguan Jin decided to change his strategy.
"Fellow Daoist Gu," she suppressed her smile and said bluntly, "Actually, I came to you today because I hope to walk with you in the Laoshan ruins and deal with the crisis together."
"With me?" Gu Xu was just right. A look of confusion appeared on the ground, "Fellow Daoist Shangguan, with my current cultivation level, I'm afraid it will be difficult to help you, right?"
"Fellow Daoist Gu, you may not know," Shangguan Jin lowered his voice, He leaned close to his ear and said, "Kongxuan Sanren's cave only allows a maximum of three people to enter it... It is impossible for all of us to obtain the inheritance. During this period, there will probably be fights over the inheritance.
" In this process, no matter how powerful a person's power is, it is ultimately limited. But I once paid attention to Gu Daoyou's performance in the illusion of "Reviewing the Old Pot" together with the Chief Secretary. I believe that with my cultivation and your knowledge and methods, I will be invincible in the entire Shenji Camp. ”
Gu Xu did not respond immediately.
He used his true energy to control the copper coins and quietly performed a divination in his pocket, which confirmed that what Shangguan Jin said was correct - only three people were allowed to enter the cave of Kongxuan Sanren.
As for why she knew such news... Gu Xu didn't ask any more questions. Based on Shangguan Jin's identity, he may actually possess a lot of little-known information.
“This is indeed an exciting proposal!” Gu Xu sighed in his heart.
He knew that there were many third and fourth realm monks among his fellow travelers.
Even though he can rely on various means to be invincible in the "realm of discussing Tao".
But that's because the "realm of discussing the Tao" can suppress everyone's cultivation to the same level.
In reality, he could not guarantee that he would be able to win the inheritance from this group of geniuses from all over the country.
However, if there is a fourth realm monk as a teammate, then his chances of winning will undoubtedly be greatly improved.
Just his intuition told him that he should keep a distance from this woman who knew all the tricks... Otherwise, if he fell into her hands in the future, he would die without knowing why.
Seeing that Gu Xu remained silent, Shangguan Jin raised the corners of his mouth, put a strand of long hair behind his ears, and continued: "If I remember correctly, Gu Daoyou has a skill that can help others It’s a ‘god-seeking spell’ for one’s own use, right?”
"That's right." Gu Xu nodded, not knowing why she suddenly mentioned this.
“Using this ‘God-Inviting Curse’, can you drain another monk’s true energy, giving Fellow Daoist Gu the ability to fight across borders for a period of time?”
“That’s right.”
"Then the monk who has been drained of his true energy will also temporarily lose the ability to fight?"
"Yes." "In this case, even if you do whatever you want to him, he will not have the ability to resist. ”
"Uh...can you put it that way?"
"If this happened to me, I wouldn't agree to it even to death!" Shangguan Jin said firmly.
But before Gu Xu could respond, she changed the topic and said with a sweet smile: "Of course, Fellow Daoist Gu is so good-looking, maybe I can make an exception for you.
"I think , Fellow Daoist Gu should be very clear about what it means to you if you can use the true essence of a fourth-level monk arbitrarily, right? ”
Such conditions are indeed difficult to refuse.
Gu Xu thought silently in his heart.
He still remembered that when he borrowed Chu Fengge's true energy in the Lu family's haunted house, he was even able to fight Tang Hui in the fifth realm.
And now, he has become stronger than before.
If he can really use the "God-Inviting Curse" on Shangguan Jin, I'm afraid he can go sideways in the entire "Shenji Camp"...
This woman's grasp of people's hearts is really not easy!
I can’t believe that there is such a huge gap in IQ and means between the two cronies of Lord Chief Secretary!
It’s just...
Gu Xu knows very well that there can be no free gifts in life.
This woman offered him this condition——
So what's her price tag?
Can he really afford it?
…………
While Gu Xu was deep in thought, another person crossed the crowd and squeezed in beside the two of them.
It is Chen Yanping, the concubine of the head of the Chen family.
Chen Yanping once received a task from his father, asking him to have a good relationship with Gu Xu.
When he heard "Gu Daoyou" from Shangguan Jin, he immediately recognized that this handsome young man was the Gu Xu he had been looking for.
"May I ask if you are Mr. Gu, the manager of Yishui County?" Chen Yanping asked politely.
“It’s me,” Gu Xu nodded, “You are——”
“I’m Chen Yanping in Xiangyang,” Chen Yanping bowed his hands and said, “I’ve heard of Mr. Gu’s resounding words for a long time. Reputation. When I saw him today, he was indeed a talented person.”
Since Chen Yanping is currently managing the Chen family's property and has no official position for the time being, he does not dare to neglect the etiquette in order to avoid being criticized.
It turned out to be a member of the Chen family!
While thinking about it, Gu Xu smiled humbly and said: "Young Daoist Chen is so complimentary. In addition, since we are all members of the 'Shenji Battalion', we should forget about our official titles and call ourselves 'Fellow Daoist'. Let’s go!”
Shangguan Jin next to him glanced at Chen Yanping.
She was having a pleasant chat with Gu Xu just now.
Seeing that she was about to succeed, she persuaded Gu Xu to cooperate with her.
But he was suddenly interrupted by this annoying guy.
How upsetting!
Thinking of this, she secretly put the name "Chen Yanping" on the blacklist.
However, she still had a friendly smile on her face and said to Chen Yanping:
"Dare I ask if Fellow Daoist Chen came here suddenly and wanted to join our conversation?"
Chen Yanping stood next to Gu Xu and said to her bluntly: "I admire the reputation of Fellow Daoist Gu and want to join us. He made a friend."
Then he said to Gu Xu: "Gu Daoyou, my father once told me that the Laoshan ruins are full of difficulties and obstacles, and there are restrictions on the caves of Kongxuan Sanren, so it is impossible to have them all. Everyone enters the cave to gain inheritance.
“So, under such circumstances, I would like to ask fellow Taoist Gu to accompany me - we will share equally all the gains we make together. I wonder if Daoyou Gu is willing to agree? ”
As soon as Chen Yanping finished speaking, Shangguan Jin’s eyes fell on Gu Xu, as if looking forward to what answer he would give.
Gu Xu remained silent.
He had to admit that compared to Shangguan Jin's layers of tricks, Chen Yanping's straightforward way of speaking sounded more relaxed.
But the problem is that if he agrees to Chen Yanping, he will definitely make Shangguan Jin unhappy.
Vice versa.
Gu Xu sighed silently.
He just wanted to stay low-key in the corner today and didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing.
Alas, who said that his charm is too great?
…………
But, at this moment, another person came to Gu Xu.
That was a girl with a slightly chubby round face and an unspectacular appearance.
It was "Qingluan" Du Jingjing who asked Gu Xu for knowledge about Fu Dao a few days ago.
As soon as she saw Gu Xu, she couldn't wait to say to Gu Xu: "Gu Daoyou, I finally found you! I heard that the ruins of Laoshan Mountain are much more dangerous than I thought, so I want to find someone to accompany me. Colleague, I immediately thought of Fellow Daoist Gu.
"Of course, Fellow Daoist Gu is much stronger than me... I may need to rely on Fellow Daoist Gu for help many times. Therefore, of all our harvests, you, Daoist Gu, can choose first and leave the remaining scraps to me.
"With my cultivation...as long as I can return safely, I will be satisfied."
Why is there another person who wants to cooperate with Gu Xu?
This guy... is so popular?
Shangguan Jin's face gradually became cold.
She was obviously the first to arrive today...
I thought I could easily get there first.
But who could have expected that things would turn out like this?
.........
As for Gu Xu, standing among the three of them, he sighed silently:
Oh, the monks in the "Shenji Camp" are not good at all, so they still stay in Yishui. County is easier.
