Gu Xu stood aside, silently watching this devastating battle, feeling a little envious and a little longing in his heart.
Facing the same enemy, I spent a lot of time and energy, drew more than a dozen "ghost-killing charms" in advance, and performed them in a fancy way, so that I could barely inflict some painless skin damage.
Shi Xiaohan turned the enemy into ashes with just one sharp blow.
The monks in the second realm are so terrifying!
Seeing this terrible gap, Gu Xu sighed silently.
He remembered what Governor Chen Jisheng once said: "Every time your cultivation reaches a higher level, your combat effectiveness will make a qualitative leap."
Absorb Yin Qi and condense True Qi. , is the first realm of spiritual practice [Ghost Pass], marking the formal transformation from a mortal to an extraordinary practitioner.
After passing the "Gate of Hell", you will reach the second realm [Yellow Spring Road].
As the saying goes, "Nine Bends of the Underworld".
There are nine turns in this long road. Every time you turn a corner, the true energy will grow exponentially.
If Gu Xu’s true essence is the weak flame of a candle, then Shi Xiaohan’s true essence is the scorching sun in summer.
When you reach the end of the road to the underworld, you will reach the third realm of practice - [Naihe Bridge].
Gu Xu’s immediate boss, Chen Jisheng, is in this state.
Gu Xu didn't know how powerful the practitioners in the "Naihe Bridge" realm were.
Because Chen Jisheng has never made a move in front of him.
But when I think about Chen Jisheng’s unique prestige in Yishui County, when I think about the county magistrate next door, he will be the first to bow his hands when seeing Chen Jisheng, when I think about the narcissistic Shi Xiaohan, he will become obedient in front of Chen Jisheng, when I think about After encountering Chen Jisheng by chance, a group of bandits were so frightened that Jin Pen washed his hands and changed his career on the spot...
This boss is really amazing!
"My Taoism is still shallow, and I need to practice more diligently." Thinking of this, Gu Xu secretly encouraged himself.
Then he took out a pamphlet from his pocket, quickly took notes with charcoal and said:
"'Supplementary experiment on 'Ghost Killing Talisman' damage assessment:
"Experimental subject: Painted Skin Ghost ('Wild Ghost' level);
"Experimental result: I feel like a scraping master;
"Experimental conclusion: The scientific research has not yet been successful, and comrades still need to effort. "
At this moment, Shi Xiaohan came to him, stood on tiptoes and patted his shoulder.
"Gu Xu, what about that stab I just made? "
She looked at Gu Xu with a smile, her big eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and the words "Hurry up and praise me" were clearly written on her face.
Gu Xu immediately gave her a thumbs up: "One of the heroes on the list is well-deserved! "
Shi Xiaohan felt happy for a moment.
"You did not do well today," she said with her fingers on her waist., said with the style of an eighth-grade official, "If you hadn't seen through this ugly disguise and untied me, I'm afraid I would have had to pay a high price to get out of trouble."
"It's just a small trick," Gu Xu said modestly, "Master Shi's shocking sword is the key to breaking the situation."
"Your level of Talisman Dao is not low, it is better than any Talisman Master I have seen before."< /p>
"I have never seen a stronger swordsman than Shi Nvxia."
Unconsciously, the two once again entered into a familiar business exchange.
…………
After successfully dealing with the Painted Skin Ghost, Gu Xu and Shi Xiaohan did not rush back to report, but continued to stay in the house and search around.
After confirming that there were no ghosts hiding in the darkness, they decided to leave.
"Let's go quickly, Gu Xu," Shi Xiaohan said, "This place is very dark and it will be really uncomfortable to stay here for a long time."
"Indeed."
Gu Xu looked at the gray smoke floating in the air like a shroud, and deeply agreed with her words.
"To celebrate our successful completion of the mission, how about we go to Piaoxianglou for dinner tonight?" Shi Xiaohan smiled and suggested happily, "There are many delicious things there, such as braised shrimps in oil. , thousand-layer cake, beggar's chicken, fish with vinegar and pepper, first-grade tofu, shredded yam..."
"How about going to the Yamen public kitchen..."
Gu Xu frowned slightly.
Piaoxianglou is the most famous and expensive restaurant in Yishui County.
A meal there will cost at least three taels of silver.
As a small official with only two taels of silver a month, Gu Xu has always been shy about this kind of consumption place for rich people.
For him, the Yamen Public Kitchen—that is, the civil servant canteen of the Exorcism Department—is where he should go.
"I'm treating you today!"
"No problem, I've long wanted to go to Piaoxiang Tower to try something new." Gu Xuguang changed his face quickly.
Shi Xiaohan smiled even happier.
She was born into a family of officials and had no worries about food and clothing since she was a child. She cares more about whether people support her than money.
At this moment, Wang Guicai, a short and fat boy who had fainted on the side, finally woke up.
At first, his eyes were distracted and he looked confused.
Two seconds later, he seemed to suddenly recall his stepmother who had turned into a demon. He exclaimed and jumped up from the ground.
"Then...where is the ghost?" He looked around in fear.
"Already dead." Shi Xiaohan pointed to the puddle of ashes on the ground.
"Is this... is he dead?" Wang Guicai's eyes widened.
Painted Skin Ghost's huge two-story body and the ferocious posture with claws and teeth left a deep psychological shadow on him.
He thought his death had come.
Unexpectedly, the ghost was easily killed by the adults of the Exorcism Department.Solved.
My father is right.
The monks of the Exorcism Department are the guardians of the Daqi Dynasty and a ray of light in the darkness.
In front of them, all the monsters and monsters will eventually turn into ashes.
"Two... adults," he asked carefully after hesitating for a moment, "can you take me out of here?"
"Leave?"
"This place... I'm scared." Wang Guicai lowered his head and looked at his toes.
Gu Xu was thoughtful.
This child’s parents are dead and his home is haunted. It is too difficult for him to live here alone.
Fortunately, the Daqi Exorcism Department has been established for a hundred years, and has a very complete set of measures to appease the families of victims - there are specialized personnel responsible for the aftermath, so there is no need for Gu and Shi to continue to worry. .
"Don't be afraid, Gui Cai. Just wait here for a moment, and a servant from the Exorcism Department will come to pick you up soon." Gu Xu bent down and said to the short and fat boy, "They will Take you to the almshouse. You will have a new home and many friends of the same age.
"As for this house, it is still a property in your name. You have the right to do whatever you want. ”
The Alms House was a welfare institution founded by the Daqi Dynasty. It was a place to take in widows and widowers.
Before Gu Xu joined the Exorcism Department, he lived in the Alms House for several times. Year.
Eight years ago, ghosts were rampant in Qingzhou Prefecture, and many bereaved orphans were sent to the nursing home.
Gu Xu was one of them.
That year, the Alms House was extremely short of supplies, and each child could only receive one steamed bun per day.
But even so, in the memory of the original owner, the Alms House was still a place in life. A place that sheltered him from the wind and rain in the darkest moments.
"Sir, I don't want to go to the almshouse," Wang Guicai hesitated for a moment, looked up at Gu Xu and said, "I want to join the Exorcism Department and become a member of the Exorcism Department. Practitioners like you who subjugate demons and eradicate evil spirits become great heroes who eliminate harm for the people. "
Hearing his words, Gu Xu smiled faintly and couldn't help but sigh that every young man has his second grade in middle school.
"We'll talk about it when you grow up. ”
