After a fierce battle, Gu Xu's face looked a little pale.
The "Meteor Walking on the Moon" movement technique is after all a martial art - it consumes not only real energy, but also physical strength.
Gu Xu has always been weak.
Using "Meteor Walking on the Moon" twice in succession was like participating in a thousand-meter long-distance race for him, and his heart began to ache.
"I still have to find ways to replenish my body in the future..." He thought silently in his heart.
At the same time, as the sky became clear again, the surrounding people finally recovered from the battle that ended in an instant.
Just now, the ferocious look of the tree demon's soul when it possessed the young woman left a deep psychological shadow on them.
Mortals like them have no power to resist in front of the tree demon and can only let it be slaughtered and almost become its meal.
Fortunately, the practitioners of the Exorcism Department came to their side at the critical moment and helped them get out of the crisis.
It was like a timely rain.
Although this young man is young, he looks weak.
But the menacing tree demon soul in front of him could not even survive two rounds before completely evaporating from the world.
"This young adult is a truly strong man." Looking at Gu Xu's thin back, everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
At this time, Bai Qingcang, the patriarch of the Bai family, came to Gu Xu, knelt on the ground with a bang, and said sincerely: "Bai Qingcang, on behalf of Myself and my family are grateful for your life-saving grace. If you had not arrived in time today, I am afraid that our whole family would have died."
Gu Xu reached out and helped him up: "No need to be polite. It is the duty of us, as officials of the Exorcism Department, to destroy that monster." Bai Qingcang looked at Gu Xu's calm appearance and sighed softly.
It can be seen that in the eyes of this young monk, today's important matter, which is related to the life and death of the entire Bai family, is nothing more than a simple effort.
"Where did you learn today's 'Tiao Shen' ceremony?" After a moment, Gu Xu thought of an important question and asked Bai Qingcang.
"Sir, we found this from an ancient book at home," Bai Qingcang replied respectfully, "Because our family has encountered some troubles recently, we urgently sought medical treatment. , I want to use this ancient ritual to bring back the wise ancestor and let her guide us."
Gu Xu said with a serious face: "Any ritual related to summoning the undead in the future. Or spells, you must never believe it, let alone try it casually
"Even if you can really summon the souls of your ancestors, they will most likely have been eroded by Yin Qi and become irrational. of ghosts.
“Our officials in the Exorcism Department dare not protectProof, I will be able to rush to you in time every time danger occurs in the future. "
"Remember the teachings of adults. "Bai Qingcang lowered his head and kept Gu Xu's words firmly in his mind.
At the same time, Bai Qingcang also asked the butler to hand over a thick stack of silver notes, hoping that Gu Xu could accept it as The reward for this life-saving grace.
“A small gift is not respectful, but I hope you will accept it! ”
Although Gu Xu, as a poor migrant worker, was very greedy for these banknotes, he still shook his head resolutely and simply refused.
Da Qi Exorcism The regulations of the department clearly require officials to be honest and honest, and they are prohibited from accepting bribes from the people during their tasks.
After all, the gap between the strengths and weaknesses of practitioners and ordinary people is too great.
There is no discipline. Under certain restrictions, some practitioners may rely on their extraordinary power to secretly extort civilians in the form of "rewards".
Gu Xu understands that it is these strict regulations that make it possible. In the Daqi Dynasty, practitioners and ordinary people can perform their duties, live in harmony, and live a peaceful life in the established order.
If the practitioners lose their shackles, they can be allowed to do whatever they want with their extraordinary power. If they act rashly, they may turn from "heroes" in the eyes of ordinary people into beings more terrifying than ghosts.
By then, I am afraid that the world will be completely dominated by the law of the jungle.

…………
A few minutes later, Gu Xu and Shi Xiaohan left Xunliu Street and headed back to the Exorcism Department.
On the way back, Shi Xiaohan. He couldn't help but complain: "Gu Xu, can you not beat ghosts to death so quickly in the future? At least give this heroine some room to show off! "
Gu Xu shrugged helplessly: "I'm sorry, Lady Heroine, I didn't expect that the tree demon's soul was so weak that I killed it with just one slap." "
Shi Xiaohan put his hands on his hips and narrowed his eyes: "How dare you act in front of this heroine and take advantage of me? ”
“Xia Xia, forgive me! "Gu Xu raised his hands and said with a smile.
Shi Xiaohan suddenly laughed out loud.
She has always been a person with no ambitions, and her emotions and sorrows are clearly written on her face. Even if she wanted to, she couldn't hold it in.
Although she had no sense of participation in this task today, she followed Gu Xu to Xunliu Street and watched him in front of everyone. She was very happy to slay demons, show off her power, and witness the various unique skills of street performers.
At this moment, the two of them passed by the "rat show" again. Next to the busker.
The old man guarding the warehouse is still standing aside, watching the mice jumping up and down on the wooden frame, performing a wonderful show.
" Aren’t you two going to do a mission? Why are you back here again? "When he saw Gu Xu and Shi Xiaohan, the old man couldn't help asking.
"RenThe work has been completed," Gu Xu smiled slightly, "We are ready to go back to deliver the work. ”
“Boy, don’t brag. I haven't even finished watching a single scene yet. How could you possibly have completed the task? Isn't it just a perfunctory thing? "
"The ghost was too weak and was slapped to death by Gu Xu," Shi Xiaohan said with a smile, "I didn't even have a chance to take action." "
The old man stared at Gu Xu, looked at him carefully from head to toe, then turned his head and continued to watch the "Rat Show" attentively.
"You guys go back quickly. ! Don't interfere with my watching the show! ”
“No problem! "Shi Xiaohan said cheerfully.
Then she grabbed Gu Xu's sleeve and dragged him forward, and came to a candied haws stall.
Everyone was bright red. The round hawthorns were strung together and covered with a layer of shiny sugar, which glowed attractively in the sun, making Shi Xiaohan couldn't help but sip his saliva.
"I. I want two candied haws! "She said to the hawker.
The hawker took a look at the clothes of the two people. He did not expect that the adults from the exorcism department would patronize his humble stall, and he couldn't help being flattered.
" Sir, a total of forty articles! "The vendor enthusiastically handed the two candied haws to Shi Xiaohan.
Shi Xiaohan reached out and touched his pocket and found that there were only a few large-denomination silver notes in his pocket, and no copper coins.
"Gu Xu, have you brought any change? "She raised her head, blinked, and looked at Gu Xu beside her.
Gu Xu hesitated for two seconds and nodded.
In fact, with his usual style, he did not He didn't like to spend money on snacks - after all, these things were not necessities of life, and they would not help his cultivation.
But when he saw Shi Xiaohan's salivating look, he still took out the copper coins from his pocket and handed them over. To the vendor.
Shi Xiaohan stuffed a candied haws into Gu Xu's hand, while she held another one, stuck out her tongue, and licked the crystal icing sugar wrapped around the hawthorn with relish.
“Use a candied haws to hire a bodyguard! Gu Xu, your deal today is quite a bargain! "
"But didn't you say before that you wanted me to treat you to dinner? ”
“It’s all the same. You still owe me several meals anyway. ”
