Beyond the illusion, in the lobby of the government office.
Chu Fengge stared at the picture on the "Review Pot" with extremely complicated mood.
Too fast.
It’s really too fast.
Although Chu Fengge was mentally prepared for Gu Xu’s outrageous talent...
But Gu Xu was able to lead Ma Qin in less than an hour. Successfully clearing the level from the Taoyuan Fantasy Land was still far beyond his expectations.
Gu Xu’s two ghost-killing talismans, one unexpectedly burned a room full of ghosts, and the other instantly killed the dream-eating tapir, both left a very deep impression on Chu Fengge.
Others may be surprised and envious of Gu Xu’s exaggerated attainments in Talismans.
But what alarmed Chu Fengge was Gu Xu’s flexible mind and eclectic fighting style——
Everything around him, including plates, drinks, Even the people around him can be used by Gu Xu and become his weapons.
And Gu Xu never sticks to the old ways.
The "Tai Shang Arctic Demon Suppressing and Demon Killing Talisman" passed down from generation to generation has long been modified beyond recognition by him.
The solemn "God-Inviting Curse" was also adapted by him at will.
He even whimsically carved the "Decontamination Talisman" into his sea of consciousness.
It can be said that in terms of spiritual practice, Gu Xu is a person who has absolutely no scruples and no rules.
Chu Fengge couldn't imagine how terrifying a person like Gu Xu would become if he grew up in the future and entered the real battlefield of life and death.
In addition, there is another thing about Gu Xu that makes Chu Fengge deeply jealous -
“How can this kid come up with so many arrogant and exciting ideas during the battle? Lines?" Chu Fengge thought angrily, "This kind of lines should be spoken by me!"
For example, "This welcoming restaurant will no longer exist", such as "The stage" "The construction has been completed"... When Chu Fengge imitated Gu Xu's calm and indifferent tone and recited these sentences silently, he felt that he was so handsome.
Of course, Chu Fengge is a proud person - he doesn't bother to use second-hand lines, no matter how good they are.
He planned to ask his subordinates to help him think of some domineering words to use in battle after this assessment.
A line of poetry is obviously not enough.
Gu Xu will definitely be his strong rival in the future, but he must not lose to him in terms of momentum.
…………
At this moment, attendant Xu San suddenly came to Chu Fengge and said to him cautiously: "Master Chu, since Gu Xu and Ma Qin has passed the assessment, so should we let them out of the 'warming pot'?"
Hearing this, Chu Fengge finally came back from his thoughts.
He then remembered that the consciousness of the two candidates was still trapped in the illusion of the pot.
So Chu Fengge establishedThat is to say, recite the mantra and terminate the assessment.
The picture on the "Wen Gu Pot" gradually dimmed, then disappeared, returning to its original pure white appearance.
Gu Xu and Ma Qin, who were sitting cross-legged in the corner of the hall, slowly opened their eyes, as if they were waking up from a big dream.
Since they had just experienced a fierce battle in the "Warming Pot", they all looked a little exhausted at this time.
"Congratulations on passing the test of Taoyuan Illusion," Chu Fengge said expressionlessly, "Go and wait for the results outside the lobby."
"Yes, sir." The two of them. responded.
Although the fateful moment is approaching, both candidates are in a very calm mood.
If Gu Xu’s calmness stems from self-confidence.
Then Ma Qin’s calm state of mind comes from the fact that he has already chosen to lie down.
Ma Qin secretly decided that after the assessment results came out, he would check out of the inn as soon as possible, then take a carriage and secretly return to Qingzhou Mansion, and return to his original role as an ordinary little official.
Although the competition for jobs in Qingzhou Prefecture is fierce, it is difficult to get ahead.
But he felt that if he stayed in Yishui County for a long time, he would sooner or later be made to doubt his life by the evildoer Gu Xu.
…………
Headquarters of the Exorcism Department, Star Observation Deck.
After the assessment, the picture on the bronze mirror disappeared.
"Xiaojin, bring me a pen and inkstone."
Secretary Luo Chuan was silent for a moment, and then ordered Shangguan Jin beside him.
"Yes, sir."
Shangguan Jin stood up immediately and quickly fetched Luo Chuan pen, ink, paper and inkstone, then knelt down beside the low table and polished ink for him.
Later, Luo Chuan picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and began to write assessment comments for the two candidates Gu Xu and Ma Qin.
According to the past practice of the Exorcism Department, when candidate officials participate in the promotion assessment, the examiner or other senior officials will write comments to them, which will serve as an important reference for future personnel arrangements.
Under normal circumstances, it would not be Luochuan's turn to do such trivial things personally.
However, when Luochuan wanted to do it himself on a whim, no one in the entire exorcism department could stop him.
He first wrote down his comments on Ma Qin on a piece of white rice paper:
“More than stable, but not flexible enough; more than diligent, but slightly less talented; if you can be an official, But it is difficult to be alone. However, he is gentle, courteous and does good things without shame. If he is trained properly, he may benefit the people." Shangguan Jin silently watched him write his comments.
Although this review describes both Ma Qin’s strengths and weaknesses.
But Shangguan Jin is familiar with Luo Chuan's character and knows that the Luo Chief of Staff never praises others easily - in his writing, this passage can be regarded as a high praise.
With the personal review written by the Chief Secretary, Ma Qin’s body is equivalent to being plated.With a layer of gold, his career in the Exorcism Department will become much smoother in the future, and he will become the envy of many people.
Of course, Shangguan Jin also knew very well that it was because of Gu Xu's existence that Luo Sishou paid attention to an inconspicuous person like Ma Qin.
Later, Luochuan took out another piece of rice paper and prepared to write Gu Xu's comments.
This time he pondered for a long time and did not write.
Many words passed through his mind, but he felt they were not appropriate enough.
A few minutes later, he sighed softly, and finally slowly started to write, writing down his evaluation of Gu Xu:
“Agile and eager to learn, he is extremely intelligent, fearless in the face of danger, and does not fall into stereotypes. If he doesn’t die young, he will definitely become a pillar of the building.”
When he saw this comment, Shangguan Jin couldn’t believe his eyes.
This kind of highly praised words...are they really written by the Chief Secretary himself?
This is not like the usual behavior of the Chief Secretary!
You must know that even talented young people like herself and Chu Fengge failed to receive such high evaluations back then. Instead, they were pointed out by Luo Sishou in an extremely harsh manner. Much is lacking.
What is so special about this Gu Xu that actually made the Chief Secretary change his nature?
Could it be that the Chief of Staff used divine skills to predict Gu Xu’s promising future?
Shangguan Jin felt incredible.
At this moment, a guard hurried up the stairs to the observatory, placed a pile of documents on the table, then bowed to Luochuan and said:
"I would like to inform you, Mr. Chief Secretary, that Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoning has read the ink scroll you sent to the palace. This is the feedback she wrote."
