Because Gu Xu keeps all kinds of knowledge in mind, he can blurt out the answers without thinking.
So, it took them less than an hour to resolve most of the controversial issues in the book at this stage.
This made Cui Tianyou sigh: "Working with a guy like Gu Xu, who knows everything about the past and present, is really efficient! I don't even need to use my own brain!"
He even felt that the library in Yishui Yamen might just be a decoration from now on.
When you encounter something you don’t understand, just ask Gu Xu directly - this is much more convenient than reading a book.
"By the way, Brother Gu, have you heard of the big news recently released by the Exorcism Department Headquarters?" At this time, Cui Tianyou started to do the middle-aged man's habit of talking about national affairs again. Old problem.
"What's the news?"
"Since the case of the Lu family's murderous house in Qingzhou Prefecture has not been solved for a long time, the Chief of Staff has increased the task reward for this case to 5,000 meritorious deeds. ; In addition, those who successfully complete the task will also receive an additional high-grade spell as a reward. Alas, this reward is so generous that I am very excited - if it were not for my weakness, I would have already set off. Heading to Qingzhou Mansion."
"Brother Cui, do you know the source of pain?" Gu Xu said in a joking tone, looking at Cui Tianyou's frown.
"What?"
"A ** that does not match your own abilities."
…………
Look later Xu said goodbye to Cui Tianyou and left the library.
In the narrow corridor, he saw Shi Xiaohan sitting on the railing in a daze.
The girl lowered her head, her thick black hair was like dark clouds, her bright almond eyes stared at the floor tiles intently, her feet wearing exquisite embroidered shoes swayed under the dark robe, revealing her white and slender ankles.
When she heard Gu Xu's footsteps, she raised her head, frowned slightly and said, "Gu Xu, why have you stayed in the library for so long? I'm almost starving to death waiting. "
After she finished speaking, her stomach made a "gurgling" sound in response to the situation.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting." Gu Xu walked up to her with an apologetic smile on his face.
"Huh, don't think that an understatement of apology can compensate for the time lost by this heroine." Shi Xiaohan folded his hands in front of his chest, snorted and turned away.
Gu Xu was familiar with her character and knew that she was not really angry.
"So, Lady Heroine, how do you need me to compensate you?"
"As long as you make a delicious 'healthy lunch' as promised, I will I will take the initiative to forget about this matter," Shi Xiaohan said seriously.
"It's easy!" Gu Xu had already guessed that her request must be related to food.
…………
So, a quarter of an hour later, Gu Xu took Shi Xiaohan to his small house and startedStart cooking.
His lunch recipe is very simple: a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, a plate of minced tofu, two bowls of whole grain rice, and two portions of mung bean soup.
Although Gu Xu's cooking skills are not exquisite and not comparable to those of chefs in high-end restaurants, he has no problem making some simple home-cooked dishes.
In addition, next to him was Shi Xiaohan, an "armchair" food theorist who kept pointing at him, telling him what kind of heat each food needed and how to mix the seasonings to achieve the most delicious taste. Effect.
Because of this, when the food was served, both of them ate with gusto.
Shi Xiaohan even felt that these simple and plain dishes were more delicious than the big fish and meat in Piaoxianglou.
After all, she and Gu Xu made it together.
After the meal, Gu Xu called the little book boy on the screen and asked him to wash the dishes, while he took out the ginseng given by Chen Jisheng and prepared to use it to make soup.
When fighting the locust tree demon this morning, he only used the "Meteor Walking on the Moon" movement technique twice, and he already felt physically exhausted and his heart ached.
This made him realize that he needed to find a way to replenish his health as soon as possible.
Although now he can successfully complete the task of killing ghosts with the help of talismans and spells.
However, as his realm improves, he will encounter more powerful and weirder ghosts sooner or later.
He does not need to learn knife skills, sword skills, or stick skills, but he must master a body skill that can help him escape quickly.
Otherwise, if the ghost he encounters in the future has the ability to get close to him instantly, he will have no choice but to wait for death.
…………
Thinking of this, Gu Xu opened the box given to him by Chen Jisheng.
However, when he saw what was inside clearly, he frowned slightly.
"Xiaohan, come here and take a look, is this really ginseng?"
Shi Xiaohan immediately put his head over.
In the center of the box, there was indeed something shaped like a ginseng.
It’s just that the color of this thing is as white as snow, and it looks crystal clear and has a hazy luster, as if it is a piece of pure jade.
"I heard my father mention this. It is not ginseng, but snow ginseng. It is rarer and more precious than ginseng. It is said to be able to cure all diseases and improve the qualifications of practitioners to a certain extent." Shi Xiaohan thought for a moment and replied, "According to legend, it only grows on Yishan Mountain - you should know that Yishan is the territory of the 'fierce god' level ghost snow girl. Anyone who tries to pick snow ginseng needs to risk The life of being killed by the snow girl is in danger
“In the Daqi Dynasty, snow ginseng can be said to have a price but no market. "
Hearing her words, Gu Xu was silent for a moment and said calmly: "So this thing is so rare... No wonder it has never been recorded in the medicinal materials books in the library."
"Gu Xu, take it to make soup quickly, don't let Master Chen down! "Shi Xiaohan gently tugged on his sleeve, and then said, "I believe that after taking this snow ginseng, your body will become stronger! "
Gu Xu nodded stiffly and walked towards the kitchen with the snow ginseng.
At this moment, what Chen Jisheng said this morning came to his mind - " This is the ginseng given to me by Master Qianhu of Qingzhou Prefecture."
Gu Xu knew that Wei Jiusi and Chen Jisheng of Qianhu Prefecture of Qingzhou Prefecture were only casual acquaintances, and their relationship was not deep.
If this Snow ginseng is really an extremely rare, priceless treasure. It is impossible for Wei Jiusi to easily give it to Chen Jisheng as a gift - wouldn't it be good for him to keep it for himself and for his younger generations?
Is it not good for Chen Jisheng? In order to obtain this snow ginseng, he must have paid a heavy price.
Gu Xu sighed lightly.
The box in his hand seemed to be as heavy as a stone. >
…………
At the same time
Yishui Exorcism Department Yamen Lobby
Another biting cold wind penetrated the window. .
Chen Jisheng picked up the handkerchief, covered his mouth, and kept coughing.
Mottled blood seemed to be clearly visible on his white handkerchief. The red plum blossoms are blooming beautifully in the ice and snow.
