Chapter 180 After the Rain, the Sky Sunny
Shi Xiaohan was in a coma and had nightmares one after another.
In the dream, the black altar was shrouded in gray mist, and the nine clones of Kong Xuan Sanren showed neat smiles.
Gu Xu was sitting in the dark forest, practicing the "Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique". His face was as white as paper and his body temperature was as cold as ice.
“Don’t practice this spell!” Shi Xiaohan saw himself rushing forward and grabbing Gu Xu’s sleeve tightly, “It will turn you into a man-eating ghost!”
But Gu Xu roughly shook off her hand and said in a cold voice: "I am born with deficiencies and a defect in my bones, so I can only live to be thirty years old. But if I practice this "Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique", I can live forever.”
After saying this, Gu Xu suddenly turned into a hideous and terrifying ghost.
Just like Pan Xiaopeng who went crazy that day, his eyes were red and he had sharp fangs.
While roaring, he rushed towards her and pushed her down to the muddy ground.
During this process, she wanted to use her true energy to resist, but found that she was restrained by an inexplicable force and could not make any move at all.
At this time, the scene in front of him suddenly changed.
Shi Xiaohan found himself in a cemetery on the outskirts of Yishui County.
In front of her was a strange stone tablet with a familiar name written on it.
It is the word "Gu Xu".
Chen Jisheng, the governor of the Exorcism Department of Yishui County, also suddenly appeared next to her.
He sighed softly and said to her: "After all, Gu Xu was still in his prime, but his life was taken away by God."
Shi Xiaohan stared at the tombstone blankly.
A thunder rumbled across the sky, and heavy rain fell.
She was wet all over and instantly turned into a drowned rat.
The scene in the dream changed again.
She was sitting under the lush sycamore tree in her house, wearing pale pink embroidered shoes and a pleated skirt.
The cool breeze blew by, causing the metal hairpin ring above her head to jingle.
Her father Shi Lei sat next to her, put a hand on her shoulder, and said to her seriously: "Xiaohan, you are eighteen years old now, you can be considered a big girl. . I have made a good marriage proposal to you, and I believe you will be satisfied.”
Hearing Shi Lei’s words, Shi Xiaohan immediately shook his head, folded his hands on his chest, and curled his lips. She retorted: "My heart cares for all the people in the world, and I don't want to indulge in the love of my children! If I don't destroy the ghosts, I will never have a family!"
"Don't refuse in a hurry," Shi Lei said with a look on his face A mysterious smile, "I promise, you will like the husband I find for you this time."
While speaking, he handed a portrait into Shi Xiaohan's hand.
The person in the portrait is tall and erect, with sparse eyebrows.
It’s so familiar that it couldn’t be more familiar.
It is Gu Xu.
"I just have a pure friendship with him, so I don't like him!" Shi Xiaohan denied without thinking.
"Since you don't like him, then why are you fighting for him?" Shi Lei stared into her eyes and said seriously every word.
At this moment, Shi Lei's appearance suddenly changed, turning into a Kongxuan Sanren wearing a blue Taoist robe, a white beard, and holding a fly whisk.
I heard Kong Xuan Sanren sigh softly: "Love is such a thing that can make people dizzy!"
Then he waved the whisk lightly.
Shi Xiaohan's body suddenly lost his balance, the world spun for a moment, and he fell backwards to the ground.
After that, pain, gray mist, blazing flames, and hot air currents covered the dream world.
…………
I don’t know how much time passed, but Shi Xiaohan finally woke up from his dream.
She slowly opened her eyes, and first saw the exquisite paintings on the beams and roofs, and the dark blue silk curtains; then her eyes gradually moved downwards, and she saw the exquisitely carved The window lattice with hollow patterns and the tiny bits of sunlight filtering into the house through the windows.
She found herself lying on a soft bed, covered with embroidered silk quilts, and the warm breath of the stove could be heard next to her.
But when she tried to sit up from the bed, she felt a sharp pain in her body, as if her internal organs had been torn to pieces. She groaned in pain and her head fell on the pillow again. .
"Miss Shi, you finally woke up."
At this time, a soft voice sounded in her ears.
Shi Xiaohan turned around and saw that there was a wicker chair beside the bed, and a strange young woman was sitting on the wicker chair.
This woman is tall and has a slender waist. She wears a light green dress with simple patterns but well-cut, and simple silver jewelry. She has delicate features and elegant temperament. She is the kind of beauty who is not stunning but is attractive.
"This... what is this place?" Shi Xiaohan asked.
“This is the headquarters of the Exorcism Department in Luojing City.” The woman in the green dress replied.
Shi Xiaohan blinked, feeling very surprised.
Before she fell into coma, she and Gu Xu faced each other face to face with Nakong Xuan in the depths of Yishan Mountain.
But why did I wake up from a dream and come to Luojing City?
Where did Kong Xuan Sanren go?
Did he successfully complete the promotion ceremony and become the "Ghost King"?
And the most critical question -
"Where is Gu Xu? Is he still alive?"
While speaking, Shi Xiaohan turned his head left and right, looking around, as if he wanted to We need to find Gu Xu in this room.
"I guess you will ask about him," the woman in the green dress chuckled and teased, "Miss Shi, when you were unconscious just now, you kept mumbling his name. It seems that you care about him very much. His safety is in danger!”
I have been muttering his name in a coma?
Shi Xiaohan was stunned for a second.
In the past, when she encountered such a thing, she would raise her chin and deny it without hesitation: "Huh, how is that possible? You must be talking nonsense!"
But now , she did not refute the words of the woman in the green dress, but couldn't wait to ask her: "Is he okay?"
"He couldn't be better," the woman in the green dress replied with a smile, "He is now unharmed and is talking face to face with our leader on the observatory.
"This time He should take the lead in the incident. If he hadn't informed Luojing City in time, the entire Qingzhou Prefecture might have become a hell on earth.
"The Chief of Staff has asked the Emperor for rewards on his behalf. In my opinion, it is a certainty that he will be promoted to an official position this time."
Shi Xiaohan suddenly felt relieved. tone.
But at the same time, there are still many questions in her mind——
In her memory, Gu Xu had no power to resist in front of Kongxuan Sanren. He could only follow Kongxuan Sanren's instructions and was forced to practice the "Zhaoming Forbidden Technique".
Moreover, Kongxuan Sanren also blocked the communication between Qingzhou Mansion and the outside world - the eldest prince Xiao Shangyuan and his personal follower Fan Cheng tried many ways to request help from the outside world, but all in vain. She really couldn't understand how Gu Xu managed to deliver the news to the capital in such an extremely desperate situation.
“This is incredible!” She sighed sincerely in her heart.
Although in her eyes, Gu Xu has always been a person who can create miracles, and has turned the so-called "impossible" into "possible" more than once.
But this time, he once again refreshed her understanding of him.
"So what is the current situation in Qingzhou Mansion?" Shi Xiaohan continued to ask the woman in green skirt.
"Because Gu Xu delivered the news to Luo Jing City in time, the three saints, Luo Sishou, Imperial Master and Yan Guogong, were able to rush to Qingzhou Mansion as soon as possible," the woman in green skirt replied , "As soon as the saints arrived there, Kongxuan Sanren had already escaped without a trace.
"Then the national master used a more powerful sealing formation to re-seal the 'Nine Infant Snake Demon' Arriving underground, Duke Yan tried to hunt down the escaped Kongxuan Sanren, but the result is still unknown. As for the Chief of Staff, he completely eradicated the Kongxuan Sanren's spells to block space and shield the heavens.
“From now on, the name of the ‘Third Fierce God’ will no longer be a secret that will be forgotten inadvertently.
"Besides, it was the Chief of Staff who brought you to Luojing City from the altar."
Speaking of this, the woman in the green skirt paused for a moment, then looked at Shi Xiaohan and said seriously: "When When Lord Chief found you next to the altar, you had already suffered serious injuries, and your meridians had been broken in many places by the violent impact of the true energy.
"Fortunately, it was not a fatal injury.
"I have given you a healing elixir. In the past few days, you just lie in bed, don't move around, and don't try to practice. After a week at the latest, your injury should be It will heal."
"Thank you..." Shi Xiaohan originally wanted to thank the other party.
But at this time, she suddenly realized that she still didn't know the identity of the other party.
"Please... what should I call you?" She asked a little embarrassed.
"My name is Shangguan Jin, the 'hibiscus' of the hibiscus flower," a soft smile appeared on the face of the woman in the green skirt, "If you don't mind, we will address each other as sisters, you can call me 'sister' Okay."
When he heard the name "Shangguan Jin", Shi Xiaohan was a little surprised.
Because Shangguan Jin is a confidant of the head of the department and a highly qualified genius, he has always been a famous presence in the Daqi Exorcism Department.
I didn't expect that someone like her would actually take care of herself.
"Thank you, Lord Shangguan!" she said politely.
Shangguan Jin sighed softly: "Sister Xiaohan, why are you so reserved? Just treat this exorcism department headquarters as your own home."
Shi Xiaohan did not respond immediately.
The room at the Exorcism Department headquarters was spacious and bright, but staying in this unfamiliar environment, she was obviously not as free as she was in Yishui County.
After hesitating for a moment, she asked Shangguan Jin in an expectant tone: "Gu Xu...will he come here later?"
"I'm not sure," Shangguan Jin shook his head. "As soon as he woke up, he was called away by the Chief of Staff. I don't know what he will be told next."
Shi Xiaohan suddenly lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes covered her clear eyes. 's eyes.
Shangguan Jin looked at her pretty oval face and noticed the disappointment on her face. She couldn't help but sigh silently in her heart: A good-looking and outstanding young man like Gu Xu is really fatal to little girls. What an attraction!
…………
At the same time, Yishui County.
The Grand Master of Qi used heaven and earth as paper and true essence as ink, and drew a huge cage with a radius of hundreds of miles out of thin air, and easily sealed the "Nine-Infant Snake Monster" that was ravaging Qingzhou Prefecture into the ground.
The cracks on the surface gradually closed.
The blazing fire and the torrential flood disappeared in an instant.
Qingzhou Mansion returned to calm.
The scene before me was very similar to the scene eight years ago.
Wang Yang, a junior official in the Exorcism Department, ran all the way towards Yishui County after the disaster.
His mood at this time was very complicated.
Eight years ago, he was rescued by Master Zheng from the mouth of the "Nine Infant Snake Demon", but Master Zheng was buried in the snake's belly with no bones left.
This time, he was fished out of the flood by Mr. Chen, but Mr. Chen once again went into danger to save others, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
"Master Chen, please don't let anything happen to you..." As he ran, he prayed silently in his heart.
…………
Luojing City.
Exorcism Department Headquarters, Star Observation Deck.
Gu Xu had already put on a clean black robe at this time, and sat face to face with Luo Chuan, the head of the exorcism department, on both sides of a low table.
Chu Fengge stood quietly behind Luo Chuan.
I saw Luochuan lift the exquisite white jade teapot on the table, pour a cup of fragrant hot tea for Gu Xu, and said in a calm tone: "Thanks to Gu Xiaoyou this time."
Luo Chuan's actions once again shocked Chu Fengge.
In the past, Luo Sishou has always been a self-conscious person - even if the saints of Daqi and relatives of the emperor came to visit, Luo Sishou would not be able to pour tea for them. At most, he would let Chu Fengge or Shangguan Hibiscus will do it for you.
But now, not only is he on an equal footing with a young junior who only has the second level of cultivation, but he also personally pours tea for him!
This is unbelievable!
Wait!
Gu Xu seems to have broken through again!
Chu Fengge narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Gu Xu seriously, and clearly felt the genuine aura of true energy in him that belonged to a third-level monk.
It has only been three months since Gu Xu broke through to the second realm!
Is this really the speed that normal humans can achieve?
Inadvertently, Chu Fengge remembered what the Chief Executive said not long ago: "The young man named Gu Xu is far more talented than you. In three years at the latest, his cultivation will be More than you."
Chu Fengge sighed, feeling that his dream of "becoming number one in the world" was about to be shattered.
But Gu Xu was not in the mood to pay attention to Chu Fengge's disappointed mood.
He looked at Chief Luo and asked straight to the point: "Master Chief, how is the situation in Qingzhou Prefecture now? Is Yishui County okay now? Is Mr. Chen safe and sound?"
Luochuan replied: "The 'Nine Infant Snake Demon' has been re-sealed by the Imperial Master, and the floods in Yishui County have also receded. In this incident, more than 30,000 people died in the entire Qingzhou Prefecture. Of course, without you , this number will probably increase several times.
"As for Mr. Chen, whom you care about most, fortunately, he is still alive.
"It's just that when he was rescuing people, he was affected by the breath of the 'Nine Infant Snake Demon', fell into the flood, and fell unconscious."
Gu Xu breathed a sigh of relief.
He was very lucky that he interrupted Kong Xuan Sanren's "attribution" spell in time and did not let Kong Xuan San Ren finish his "tragic heroic story".
Otherwise, Chen Jisheng is likely to sacrifice his life to save others under the control of "attribution".
