Exorcism Department Headquarters, Star Observation Deck.
At the same time, Luo Chuan, the head of the exorcism department, also looked at Gu Xu’s figure in the bronze mirror and commented lightly: "He is really calm."
As the top powerhouse of the Da Qi Dynasty, Luo Chuan could easily see that the reason why Gu Xu's true energy was pure and condensed was because he had been suppressing his realm and polishing it repeatedly.
In his opinion, although Gu Xu has talents far beyond ordinary people, he can resist the temptation of breaking the situation and seriously lay down his foundation, which is very worthy of praise.
Most of today’s young people are ambitious and eager for success.
There are few people like Gu Xu who can take one step at a time, being practical and steady.
Next to her, Shangguan Jin nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice and said, "The Chief Secretary is right."
At the same time, she habitually secretly guessed: Mr. Chief Secretary By saying this...are you trying to use that young man named Gu Xu to beat me? Hmm... My current cultivation speed is indeed a bit fast. How about taking it slow first?
…………
The fantasy in the pot, Taoyuan Town.
The bustling restaurant is now empty.
The store clerks and diners have turned into black ashes on the ground.
Gu Xu and Ma Qin were the only two people left in the whole room.
This sudden silent atmosphere made Ma Qin feel a little overwhelmed.
"Brother Gu Xian, you said...what should we do next?" He looked at Gu Xu beside him and asked.
"Of course, continue killing ghosts," Gu Xu replied casually while pacing back and forth in the empty restaurant, "We have just solved a room full of evil ghosts. There are more ghosts around." There are hundreds of houses, and there are thousands of evil spirits that we need to deal with."
While speaking, Gu Xu also lowered his head and glanced at the various kitchen utensils scattered on the ground.
"Brother Ma, I remember you said you were a sword cultivator?" After a moment of silence, Gu Xu asked again.
"Yes," Ma Qin nodded and replied, "I don't have a knife in my hand now, so I can only use 50% of my usual strength."
This is a sentence lie.
Ma Qin can actually exert 70% of his usual combat effectiveness without a knife.
But he is a face-saving person.
A dignified second-level monk was hit by a ghost with a rotten egg and turned into such a miserable state - it is really embarrassing to tell such a thing!
However, as long as I slightly exaggerate the importance of weapons to myself in my words -
That is not my skill, but the lack of weapons limits my performance!
Hearing this, Gu Xu smiled and did not question it.
He squatted down and began to pick through the pile of kitchen utensils on the ground. At the same time, he said to Ma Qin: "Brother Ma, what kind of knife do you usually use? Kitchen knife? Fruit knife? A boning knife? Or I can go to the kitchen and helpAre you looking for a butcher's knife like the shop owner's? "
Ma Qin was silent for two seconds and replied speechlessly: "...I usually use the Wild Goose Wing Knife. ”
The Wild Goose Wing Knife is a special type of sword for foot combat - the back of the knife is thick, the head is wide, and the knife is heavy; there are small holes on the back of the knife, and a copper ring is pierced in the hole; when it is swung, the ring strikes the back of the knife. , the sound was like the cry of wild geese.
Ma Qin felt that comparing his precious goose-wing knife with other miscellaneous knives such as kitchen knives and fruit knives was simply an insult.
< p> "But, Brother Ma, there is no Wild Goose Wing Knife here! How about making do with it? "Gu Xu spread his hands and showed an innocent expression, "As a weak and helpless first-level monk, I have very little real energy left. I will have to rely on Brother Ma to deal with those ghosts later! ”Ma Qin snorted coldly.
Although for any first-level monk, after killing a room of ghosts and monsters, exhausting his true energy and losing his fighting ability is It's a matter of course.
But Ma Qin always feels in the dark that Gu Xu still has many hidden cards, and maybe he will be given a huge surprise in a while.
“…Then I’ll use this broken kitchen knife to make ends meet! "Ma Qin bent down and reluctantly picked up the kitchen knife used by the ghosts just now.
"Brother Ma, wait! "At this moment, Gu Xu suddenly stopped him, "Tell me what your Wild Goose Wing Sword looks like. ”
Ma Qin was a little confused, wondering why Gu Xu suddenly mentioned this.
But he still raised his chin and described his beloved sword in detail
Gu Xu listened carefully and kept his words firmly in his mind.
Then he picked up a broken plate and dipped a chopstick into it. With the sauce spilled on the ground, he started to draw symbols on the plate!
Ma Qin couldn't understand the complicated symbols he drew.
But. However, he noticed Gu Xu's skillful brushwork and his casual and confident expression.
It was more like he was creating a freehand brushstroke. Landscape painting.
"Okay. "After a moment, Gu Xu handed the broken plate to Ma Qin's hand.
Ma Qin took the plate.
At first, his expression was a little suspicious, but it soon turned into Shocked.
Because the moment he touched the plate, it turned into a three-foot-long knife, glowing with metallic luster under the sunlight——
< p>It was exactly the same as the wild goose-wing knife that he regarded as a treasure!He held the handle of the knife and waved it gently, only to hear the crisp and familiar sound of the copper ring hitting the back of the knife.
The only difference is that this short knife is very light, as light as a porcelain plate.
This makes Ma Qin feel a little uncomfortable.
However. Better than having no weapons
After all, he has practiced swordsmanship for ten years. As long as he has a knife in his hand, he will feel more confident.
At this time, Ma Qin also understood that Gu Xu was deliberately teasing him when he mentioned "kitchen knife", "pig-killing knife", etc. just now.
But he couldn't get angry anymore.
Because the young man in front of him has attained a level of talisman that requires him to look up.
Ma Qin once read in a book that there are three realms in practicing Talisman Tao - implements, techniques and Tao.
“What is physical is called a tool.”
Beginners must use cinnabar as ink to use talismans, and strictly follow the steps of burning incense, inviting gods, purifying the heart, and praying, etc. The runes are accurately drawn on the yellow paper.
If an error occurs later, the symbol will not take effect.
This is the realm of "vessel".
User, tool.
Once you understand the essence of Fu Dao, you can put aside the shackles of yellow paper and red ink and no longer stick to the form.
At this time, the talisman can be a painting with splashes of ink on the screen, a poem written with emotion on the wall, or a line of words on rice paper with the words "Luan Xiang Feng Zhu" .
This is the realm of "skill".
Shu, skill.
If you become a "talisman master" like Da Qi Guoshi, you can even get rid of pen and ink completely, and all things in the world can become talismans.
This is the realm of "Tao" where "the Tao is invisible".
In less than three months of practicing Talismanism, Gu Xu has already touched the threshold of "skill".
Such talents are truly extraordinary.
I am afraid that more than 90% of the talisman masters in Qi will never be able to catch up.
