After lunch, Shi Xiaohan left Gu Xu's house.
The small room fell silent again.
"I wonder if this priceless snow ginseng can extend my life..." Gu Xu looked at the empty bowl in front of him, and this thought came to his mind.
While he was thinking this, he took out a copper coin from his pocket, gently tossed it up, and silently recited the name of God, trying to get the answer to the question through divination.
In the blink of an eye, the copper coin clattered onto the table.
Back side up.
This obviously proves that snow ginseng can only improve his physical health to a certain extent, but it cannot increase his longevity - if he cannot reach the seventh level before the age of thirty, he will not be able to survive. Shaping his body and becoming a saint, he will still die young.
"Maybe that astrology book is right," he thought secretly, "The reason why I have a short life is due to my destiny... I am weak and sick, but It's just a side effect...
"But the problem is, if I really are the wealthy and powerful Ziwei destiny, why am I still so poor now? ”
Looking at his simple and narrow house, the old and simple furniture, and the few pills on hand, he couldn’t help but shook his head helplessly.
…………
Afterwards, Gu Xu sat down cross-legged on the bamboo mat as usual, took an "Eternal Brightness Pill", closed his eyes, silently recited the formula of "Red Flame True Art", and entered the state of cultivation. .
The Yin Qi between heaven and earth turned into a whirlpool and poured into his body. Then, under his repeated tempering, it turned into true energy as hot as lava, roaring in his meridians. .
An hour passed.
When the effect of "Changming Dan" was exhausted, he successfully advanced to the "Second Song of Huangquan" stage.
At this time, he clearly felt that the true energy in his body had become more powerful and powerful than before.
…………
This afternoon, Gu Xu did three things at home: improving his realm, practicing the "Meteor Walking on the Moon" movement technique, and perfecting the third generation "Tai Shang Arctic Demon Suppressing and Demon Killing Talisman".
In addition, he did it. He also entertained two guests at home.
The first guest was Shi Xiaohan's maid, named "Chen Xi", a young girl with delicate features and light freckles on her face.
< p>Chenxi was originally the personal maid of Shi Xiaohan's grandmother Zhao Chanyi - at that time, her name was still called "Nian Xue"When Xiaohan got pregnant, Zhao Chanyi gave this maid as a gift. To Shi Xiaohan.
Shi Xiaohan felt that the name "Nian Xue" was too feminine and graceful and did not fit with his bold and uninhibited heroine style, so he changed the maid's name to "Qingshuang"
"Qingshuang" means that the sword's light is as green as frost.
In the Daqi Dynasty, the term "Zidian Qingshuang" was often used to refer to swords.
AfterLater, Shi Xiaohan felt that the name "Qingshuang" had too chilling artistic conception, so he changed the maid's name to "Chenxi", which means "brightness in the morning".
After learning these things, Gu Xu felt very sympathetic to the maid.
In just one year, my name has been changed twice. It is probably not easy to adapt to it.
"Mr. Gu, this is a gift from my young lady," the maid Chenxi respectfully handed three bottles containing "Eternal Life Pill" to Gu Xu after curtsying. In his hand, "Please accept it with pleasure."
"Please convey my gratitude to your lady for me!" Gu Xu took the porcelain bottle and said with a sincere smile.
At this moment, he could no longer count how many pills he owed Shi Xiaohan.
"When I gain strength and money in the future, I will slowly repay her..." he thought helplessly.
The second guest is Ma Qin, the newly promoted ninth-level detective of the Yishui Exorcism Department.
As soon as he walked into Gu Xu's house, Ma Qin clasped his hands and bowed his head to the ground towards Gu Xu.
"Brother Ma, there's no need to be polite! Let's talk about something!" Seeing this scene, Gu Xu immediately stepped forward and helped Ma Qin up.
"I'm here to thank Mr. Gu for saving my life." Ma Qin raised his head and said sincerely.
"Life-saving grace?"
Gu Xu frowned slightly.
Since participating in the promotion assessment in the illusion of "Wen Guhu", he has never performed any mission with Ma Qin, let alone when he saved Ma Qin's life.
"It was you who drew the 'ghost-killing talisman', Mr. Gu," Ma Qin quickly answered Gu Xu's confusion, "Yesterday I received a task that required me to go to the woods on the outskirts of Yishui I killed a ghost named 'Xinang'
"This ghost's vitality is much stronger than I thought. I exhausted all my true energy and only chopped it into pieces. It couldn't be hacked to death, and it had the ability to quickly recover itself. If I hadn't exchanged five of the 'ghost-killing charms' you drew in the warehouse before, I probably wouldn't have been able to come back here alive. ”
“Brother Ma, this is the ‘ghost-killing talisman’ that you exchanged for yourself based on your own ability. You don’t need to come and thank me.” "Gu Xu waved his hand and responded.
"No, no, no," after hearing his words, Ma Qin immediately shook his head, "Master Gu, this is because of the ghost-killing talisman you drew. 'It's different and frighteningly powerful - if this talisman had been drawn by someone else, I'm afraid it wouldn't be enough to help me escape from danger. "
"What is the effect of using the 'Ghost Killing Talisman' on that 'Xi Nang'? "As a monk who loves to research and improve spells, Gu Xu couldn't help but ask.
"Very good," Ma Qin replied without thinking, "At that time, I didn't even react. The bag instantly turned into ashes.
“Now, Mr. Gu, your ‘ghost-killing talisman’ is very popular in our yamen! This month’s talismans have all been redeemed, and even next month’s talismans will be redeemed.All the shares have been booked in advance!
"Alas, it's a pity that I don't have the talent to learn Talisman Tao, otherwise I would definitely become your teacher and learn how to draw the 'Ghost Killing Talisman' from you!"
... ...
After Ma Qin left, Gu Xu sat back on the bamboo mat, preparing to start practicing the "solar eclipse" spell and continue to strengthen his spiritual consciousness.
However, at this moment, the "God Machine Token" on his desk once again shone brightly.
"Is there a new mission at the Shenji Camp?"
He stood up, walked to the desk, and reached out to pick up the token.
A few lines of text suddenly appeared in his field of vision:
“The Lu family’s haunted house in Qingzhou Prefecture has been haunted for many years. The Exorcism Department has sent people to investigate many times, but to no avail. Please accept the mission..."
"I refuse!"
After Gu Xu read this, he immediately put the 'divine machine token' back to its original place and ignored it. it.
Are you kidding?
The case of Lu’s haunted house is a case that even the fourth-level monk Chu Fengge cannot solve. Let me, a weak, pitiful and helpless second-level monk, solve it?
This simply wants me to die!

PS: It’s the beginning of the month, please give me a monthly pass!
