"This kid's Talisman Tao talent is so terrifying. When he grows up, will he become a Talisman Tao master like the Grand Master of Qi?" Ma Qin couldn't help but think to himself.
The Imperial Master is the leader of all the saints in Da Qi, and is famous for his astonishing attainments in Talismans. However, when the Imperial Master was young, he did not seem to be as exaggerated as Gu Xu is now.
But no matter what, there is one thing that Ma Qin can be 100% sure of - that is, Gu Xu will definitely have a bright future.
Ma Qin is now almost thirty-five years old.
He had long since given up the unrealistic delusions of his youth and recognized that he was just an ordinary person with mediocre talents.
He would be satisfied if he could be a high-quality petty official in this life.
However, if he can have a good relationship with Gu Xu, a future strongman, when Gu Xu reaches the top of the Daqi Exorcism Department in the future, he might be able to guide him and let him follow him to become popular and popular. .
So, regarding the fact that Gu Xu just deliberately teased him...
Ma Qin said: I, Ma Qin, am a magnanimous person! I can tolerate this little thing!
…………
Then, Gu Xu and Ma Qin walked out of the messy restaurant together.
At this time, the entire "residents" of Taoyuan Town seemed to have realized the arrival of two uninvited guests.
With brooms, hammers, kitchen knives, feather dusters, branches and other weapons in their hands, they came to the streets of the town one after another and looked at Gu Xu and Ma Qin with hostile eyes. Gives people a chilling feeling.
Although Ma Qin's combat effectiveness has been greatly enhanced after possessing the "Wild Goose Wing Sword", he still feels a little nervous when facing such a large number of ghosts.
"Brother Gu, do we have to get rid of all these residents... no, ghosts to pass the test?" He couldn't help but ask Gu Xu next to him.
"Of course," Gu Xu replied calmly, "My spell can only last for half an hour. After half an hour, the knife in your hand will return to its original shape. Brother Ma, you have to hurry up. "
"But there are too many of them..." Ma Qin wanted to complain a few words, but thinking that the big shots from the capital were still paying attention to his performance outside the illusion, he finally reached out and wiped the sticky The egg white on his face suppressed all these complaints.
"Come on! Brother Ma!" Gu Xu smiled and gave Ma Qin a cheering gesture, "The great mission of saving the residents of Taoyuan Town from the sea of misery rests on your shoulders. !"
"What about you?" Ma Qin asked with a frown.
"As a first-level monk who has exhausted his true energy and is weak and helpless, I will support you mentally!" Gu Xu said seriously, with no intention of stepping forward to help.
"You put me under a lot of pressure!"
Ma Qin glanced at him helplessly and repeatedly told himself in his heart, "I, Ma Qin, am a"A magnanimous person", then holding the "Goose Wing Knife" in his hand, he bravely rushed into the circle surrounded by ghosts and monsters.
The will-o'-the-wisp flickered and the sword's light was sharp;
The evil spirit filled the air. , corpses flew everywhere.
…………
Gu Xu’s true energy was almost exhausted at this time.
He could only stand still. , watching Ma Qin fight his way through the crowd of ghosts.
Inadvertently, he raised his head and glanced at the sun hanging high in the sky.
This time. A long time had passed when they first entered Taoyuan Town.
But during this period, the position of the sun had not moved at all.
"This place is a bit strange. ”
Looking at the unreally beautiful scenery around him and the ghosts surrounding Ma Qin, Gu Xu couldn’t help but frown slightly.
When in doubt, he divined first.
Thinking of this, he took out three copper coins from his pocket - he had picked them up from the restaurant just now. He tossed them six times in his hand and tried to use the "six lines to start the divination" "Dharma" for divination.
The result is "Qian Shang Kun Xia", which is the hexagram of "Heaven and Earth No".
"No" means "blocked".
p>
The meaning of this hexagram is that the barrier between heaven and earth cannot communicate, and the suffocation of all things cannot make the pot smooth.
Then Gu Xu took out the jade charm Chu Fengge gave him from his pocket and stared at it. The line of text engraved on it - "All appearances are false", fell into deep thought.
…………
Luo Jing. Exorcism Department Headquarters, Star Observation Deck
“He seems to have noticed the secret of Taoyuan Town. "
After a long period of silence, Chief Luo Chuan suddenly pointed at the figure of Gu Xu in the bronze mirror and said.
Shangguan Jin immediately looked in the direction he pointed. .
I saw Gu Xu playing with three copper coins in his hand, tossing them six times in a row.
Then he took out the jade talisman and stared at it for a long time. , but there was no action for a long time.
Looking like "I am sober when everyone is drunk"
At this time, Luo Sishou joked with a smile: "Xiaojin, if I remember correctly, the speed at which he noticed something strange seemed to have broken your record back then. "
"There are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people." Hearing this, Shangguan Jin was not angry, but nodded slightly and said respectfully, "He can break my record because I am still Not strong enough. I'll just work harder in the future. "
Luochuan glanced at her lightly: "I hope you can maintain this attitude in the future. ”
…………
Time passed by minute by second.
Ma Qin shuttled among the ghosts and monsters, and he no longer knew how many knives he had wielded. , How many enemies have been killed.
As a monk in the second realm [Huangquan Road], Ma Qin's true energy is undoubtedly much richer than Gu Xu's.The true essence of a monk in the first realm is like a pool of stagnant water, while the true essence of a monk in the second realm is like a surging river. Even though he was engaged in a continuous wheel battle with ghosts, Ma Qin did not feel exhausted.
But this battle with one enemy against many did not bring much sense of accomplishment to Ma Qin.
Because compared with Gu Xu's crisp "fireworks" just now, he felt that his way of dealing with ghosts was too grinding - at least in terms of visual effects, there was no second realm at all. The demeanor a monk should have.
"Well, after this assessment is over, I have to work hard to do more tasks," Ma Qin secretly planned in his mind, "try to earn enough merit and exchange for a copy of "Overlord's Sword Technique"—— By then, I can cut ghosts like vegetables."
Two quarters of an hour passed.
The evil spirits in this neighborhood have long fallen to the ground like straw.
Then it turned into black ashes under the burning fire of Ma Qin’s true energy.
And Ma Qin himself became embarrassed.
In addition to the egg white that was stuck on his face before, his skin is now bruised and purple, and there are a lot of dirty bloodstains.
Although Ma Qin is a second-level monk with strong fighting ability, in close combat with many ghosts and monsters, it is impossible for him to completely dodge attacks from all directions.
There will always be some brooms, dustpans, feather dusters... that come out of nowhere and hit him suddenly.
He raised his head and glanced at Gu Xu, who was standing under the peach tree, meditating -
I saw that this boy was still wearing a green shirt, not stained by dust, and looked like he was not a human being. The fairy of fireworks.
Suddenly, Ma Qin was full of jealousy towards the Talisman Masters who only needed long-range output and did not need close combat.
