Gu Xu didn’t know that the Tianyan Stone, a heirloom treasure of the Exorcist Department, died early because of him.
He doesn’t even know that in tomorrow’s actual combat assessment, he will face a very targeted and difficult test set by Chief Luo himself.
Tonight, Gu Xu just wanted to practice quietly.
Shi Xiaohan once gave him fifteen bottles of Jingxin Pills at once.
So in the short term, his training time will no longer be limited due to insufficient elixirs.
Now, Gu Xu has stood at the peak of the first realm [Ghost Gate].
We are only one step away from the second level [Huangquan Road].
The majestic true energy was already surging and boiling in his body.
What he is waiting for now is an opportunity that will come naturally.
The night passed quickly.
There are three more Jingxin Pills missing from Gu Xu’s porcelain bottle.
…………
The sky dawns very late in late autumn.
When Chu Fengge walked out of the gate of Guanyi, Yishui County was still dark.
At this moment, his miserable face with black nose, swollen eyes and nose has completely recovered, and he has once again become the noble young man with a delicate face, red lips and white teeth.
In the Great Wilderness, after a monk with outstanding talent is promoted to the third realm [Naihe Bridge], there is a certain probability of awakening a natal magical power.
The magical power that Chu Fengge awakened at the beginning was called "Weed".
The magical power of "weed" gives Chu Fengge extremely strong vitality and self-healing ability - no matter how injured he is, as long as he has a breath left, he can recover as before in a relatively short period of time without medical treatment. .
In short, it is thick-skinned and very durable.
This is undoubtedly an important capital for Chu Fengge to dare to act arrogantly.
But now, Chu Fengge was in a very unhappy mood.
The reason is simple.
On the one hand, he went to the Lu family's haunted house with great interest yesterday, intending to slay demons and make a name for himself.
However, he didn't even see the ghost's appearance clearly, so he received a severe beating; if he hadn't used the life-saving magic weapon given to him by the Chief of Staff in time, he might have died in the haunted house.
On the other hand, the Chief of Staff asked Shangguan Jin to summon him last night and told him, "The young man named Gu Xu is far more talented than you. In three years at the latest, his cultivation will be over." will surpass you”.
Chu Fengge was absolutely furious!
He has always regarded himself as "the most talented person in Da Qi" and believed that he was so talented that he would be unrivaled in the world.
If someone else said this, he would just think it was fart.
Unfortunately, this sentence was said by the Chief Secretary.
As we all know, Luo Chuan, the head of the Exorcism Department, is best at the art of divine deduction - his eyes as deep as ancient wells can always see the unknown future.
So Chu Fengge panicked.
In hisIn the concept, if you can't be the best in the world, what's the point of living?
He decided to go to the Yishui Yamen in person today to see how much of a threat Gu Xu, who had attracted much attention from the chief executive, posed to his future position as number one in the world.
"Let's go!" Chu Fengge stood on the stone steps with his hands behind his back, head held high, and ordered the followers behind him in an indifferent tone.
"Yes, sir." Xu San and Wang Wu responded with their heads lowered tremblingly.
At this time, Xu San and Wang Wu both had smiles on their faces -
It's great that Mr. Chu didn't chop off our heads!
…………
At the same time, Gu Xu also arrived at the Exorcist Department’s Yamen early.
Perhaps it’s because the vision of Tianyan Stone yesterday was too overwhelming.
There are much more people watching today than yesterday.
Not only the monks and government officials from the Exorcism Department gathered here, but also the officials from the county government across the street, such as the county magistrate, and the screaming Zhou Jiaoyu, all put down their hands. I'm working on it, so come and watch.
In their view, the exorcist department clerk named Gu Xu had obviously attracted the attention of the big shots in the capital.
If nothing unexpected happens, it will be able to fly straight up into the blue clouds with the help of the east wind.
If they can build a good relationship with Gu Xu now, and ask Gu Xu to speak kindly for them in front of the big shots in the capital in the future... maybe they will also get the opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune.
"Mr. Gu, I haven't seen you for a few days. Your style is even better than before!" As soon as he saw Gu Xu, Zhou Jiaoyu walked up to greet him with a smile on his face, "That night the county school When it was haunted, I felt that Mr. Gu was not a thing in the pool. Now it seems that he is just a blockbuster."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou," Gu Xu said with a humble smile.
This Zhou Jiaoyu is worthy of being an intellectual who has passed the imperial examination - as long as he is not scared to death by ghosts and screams, his words are really nice.
Seeing Gu Xu and Zhou Jiaoyu talking and laughing, County Magistrate Jiang next to him, not to be outdone, immediately came over and said: "Since Zhou Jiaoyu came back from school in the haunted county that day, he has been treating Mr. Gu every day. His name was on his lips, saying that Mr. Gu was a young hero he had never seen before. I thought he was exaggerating before, but when we met today, I realized that Mr. Gu is really young and talented."
"Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously." Gu Xu shook his head repeatedly, not shying away.
Subsequently, Chief Luo of the county government office also struggled to squeeze through the crowd to stand in front of Gu Xu. He smiled and said, "May I ask Mr. Gu if he has ever been married? I happen to have a daughter in my family. She just got haircut half a month ago and is as beautiful as a flower. If Mr. Gu doesn't mind, maybe he can consider it." Gu Xu glanced at Master Luo's deer-headed appearance and thought to himself, what if this guy's daughter is really good? If his appearance is as beautiful as a flower, then the top of his head should already be green.
But Gu Xu is busy practicing now.
He has no interest at all in such time-wasting matters as discussing marriage.
Just when Gu Xu was about to find an excuse to refuse, Shi Xiaohan suddenly appeared next to him, pulled his sleeves and left the encirclement of county officials to relieve him.
"I have important matters to discuss with him." She gave a simple and crude explanation in a majestic tone.
"Master Shi, please do as you like." The officials lowered their heads and said.
They did not dare to show the slightest slightness in their attitude towards the eighth-level inspection of the Exorcism Department by Shi Xiaohan, who was not only powerful but also had a profound background.
So, Shi Xiaohan easily took Gu Xu to an undisturbed corner of the inner courtyard.
She took out a food box from her sleeve like magic, handed it to Gu Xu with a smile, and said to him:
"Gu Xu, this is for you today. Breakfast - crystal dumplings, golden spring rolls and eight-treasure rice cakes, which respectively symbolize 'bringing in wealth', 'golden taels' and 'promoting every year'
"You must also work hard for today's assessment. ah! ”
“Your Majesty has an order, how dare you disobey it?” "The corners of Gu Xu's mouth turned up slightly, and he took the food box from her hand.
The first ray of sunshine in the morning fell on his handsome side face, making his smile as bright as the morning glow.
