"The Chief of Staff really thinks highly of you," Chu Fengge raised his teacup and took a sip of the hot tea. Jealousy was clearly visible in his eyes. "He thinks that you will become the person involved in the Lu family's murderous house case." The most critical person to break the situation - you have to know that as a high-ranking saint, Master Chief rarely gives such positive comments to others."
"But Master Chu, there are many people who are in a higher realm than me. "No one with high authority can solve this case," Gu Xu lowered his head and said humbly, "I really don't know how capable I am, but I am so valued by the Chief Executive."
Chu Fengge said in a cold tone: "Because based on the existing intelligence, we know that this case cannot be solved by brute force - in that weird and haunted house, wisdom is much more important than force."
Hearing this, Gu Xu couldn't help but complained in his heart: It turns out that the Lu family's haunted house is a dungeon that needs to be solved! No wonder the talented Mr. Chu failed to pass the test successfully - he didn't look very bright.
But this simple reason obviously cannot convince Gu Xu.
"This Lu family's haunted house can make so many monks helpless. There must be 'evil spirit' level ghosts in it, and there may be more than one," Gu Xu continued, "With my current cultivation Because, if they suddenly attack, I have absolutely no ability to protect myself. I am still young and don’t want to die in vain.”
Chu Fengge chuckled: “Sir, the chief executive has long ago. Guess you would say that. He has already made full preparations for you to protect your life.
"First of all, I will enter the haunted house with you and be your assistant. and bodyguards to deal with all the ghosts that want to harm you. If something happens to you inside, I will be punished by the Chief. ”
Chu Fengge’s words sounded a little strange.
It could be seen that he was not very willing to do this.
Gu Xu raised his head , glanced at Chu Fengge, still feeling insecure.
He felt that this bodyguard was not reliable at all.
"Secondly," Chu Fengge paused for a moment. He took out a shiny and transparent bead from his pocket, handed it to Gu Xu's hand, and said at the same time, "This bead is called the 'Broken Sky Bead', and it was specially prepared for you by the Chief of Staff. A very precious life-saving magic weapon. When your life is in danger, you only need to crush it, and you can instantly travel through the void and escape to anywhere you want within a thousand miles. Even if you are trapped in the enemy's formation, or the enemy uses spells to block the space, the 'Air Breaking Bead' will still be effective. ”
The last time Chu Fengge escaped from the Lu family’s haunted house, he used a “sky-breaking bead”.
But, he didn’t want to mention it in front of Gu Xu. It was such an embarrassing thing.
Gu Xu finally felt a little confident in his heart as he took the bead.
“Master Chu, please be sure to report to the Chief Secretary for me.I would like to convey my gratitude to you," he said sincerely, and then he changed the topic and continued to speak in a worried tone, "But I am still a little worried now. Because in the missions I did in the past, I have encountered some ghosts with control abilities - some can make people faint instantly, some can make people locked in place and unable to move, and some can even People become puppets and do what they want.
"I'm very scared. If I encounter this type of ghost, I won't even have a chance to crush the 'Breaking Sky Pearl', so I can only wait for death silently."
Chu Fengge once heard the Chief Secretary say that Gu Xu's work style has always been very cautious - he will never act easily without being completely sure.
It’s just that he didn’t expect that Gu Xu would worry about so many details.
"Master Chief has already considered this," Chu Fengge said as he took out a bracelet made of black jade from his pocket and handed it to Gu Xu, "This bracelet The name is called 'Replacement Bracelet'. It can withstand a fatal attack from the outside world for its owner, and at the same time it can remove all negative effects and controls on the owner. As long as this magic weapon is around, you will definitely have a chance to crush it. Kongzhu' comes to escape"
What a good thing!
Gu Xu took the "substitute bracelet" and sighed in his heart.
"In addition," Chu Fengge continued, "Master Sishou will also rely on Tianji Technique and your 'Divine Machine Token' to keep an eye on your situation at all times. If If these magic weapons still can't save you, he will come from Luojing in person to protect your life."
Hearing this, Gu Xu couldn't help but be stunned for a second.
At this moment, he simply doubted whether he was the illegitimate son left behind by the Chief of Staff.
"Master Chief...he must have thought too carefully," he sighed from the bottom of his heart, "I can't believe that a monk with a low level of cultivation like me can actually win Master Chief. Such deep love..."
"The chief executive said that you have the qualifications of a saint," Chu Fengge said expressionlessly, "his help to you now is just his investment in you. I hope you can grow up as soon as possible and share his worries in the future."
"As a monk of the Exorcism Department, it is my duty to share the worries of the head of the department."
Even in my heart. The balance was slightly tilted, but Gu Xu was still hesitant.
"In addition, the Chief Secretary also mentioned that the case of the Lu family's murderous house is a disaster for others, but it is an opportunity for you," Chu Fengge continued, "The ancestors of the Lu family once Entering the Tao through poetry and painting, he ascended to immortality. Part of the inheritance he left behind, including the Lu family's heirloom "Jinghong Brush", is still in the abandoned mansion, waiting for the arrival of the destined person. < /p>
"If you read through the classics, you should know that the 'Jinghong Brush' has the ability to materialize poetic and painting images and use it as a means of killing. Using it to draw talismans can also take the power of your talismans to a higher level. ”
“But, Mr. Chu,I remember it was mentioned in the book that after the Qingzhou Lu family’s home was confiscated, all property returned to the state treasury——”
“——Those are just worldly possessions,” Chu Fengge interrupted him, "'Jinghong Brush' is one of the 'Twelve Famous Weapons'. It has its own spirituality and can choose its own master. Even members of the Qingzhou Lu family must be recognized by it before it can exert its power. If it doesn't want to be found, it will hide itself and no one can find it.
"Its last owner was Miss Lu Shiyao of the Lu family, known as the 'Suxue Fairy'. After Lu Shiyao's death, it disappeared.
" Si Mr. Shougang thinks you can try your luck. ”
Hearing this, Gu Xu sighed lightly, still remaining silent.
At this moment, he was rapidly calculating the gains and losses in his mind, calculating what he would do in the future. The input-output ratio in this case——
Input:
1. A lot of time (if used for practice, maybe I can break through to "The Third Song of Huangquan", Even 'The Fourth Song of Huangquan'...);
2. A certain degree of risk;
3. Due to the historical sensitivity of Lu Huan's treason, if I participate in this case , there is a certain probability that I will be involved in the power whirlpool of the Daqi Dynasty, which is not in line with my wretched development plan;
...
Harvest:
1. A large amount of
2. A high-quality magic;
3. The favor of the Chief Secretary;
4. Possibility to become the master of the Jinghong Pen (extremely Small probability);
...
Chu Fengge frowned when he saw that he was still reluctant to make up his mind.
"Actually, the Chief of Staff also mentioned that there is a reason that can make you put aside all your worries and carry out this task willingly."
"What reason?" Gu Xu Lift your head and look at him.
"Chen Jisheng, the governor of Yishui of the Exorcism Department, once broke into the restricted area of Yishan without authorization, and unfortunately fell into the Snow Girl's 'frost condensation' curse," Chu Fengge said in a calm tone, "This The curse will continue to have an effect in his meridians, and as time goes by, his true energy will gradually solidify, causing him to stop making progress in his future cultivation, or even regress;
"Yes His physical health will also have a significant negative impact, causing him to suffer long-term physical and mental torture and shortening his lifespan.
“The Chief of Staff said that the ‘frost melting’ technique that can break the ‘frost condensation’ curse is hidden in the Lu family’s haunted house——”
“—— Master Chu, why didn't you tell us about such an important thing earlier?" Gu Xu suddenly stood up and interrupted him, "Let's go quickly, don't waste any more time."
"Let's go now. ? Where are you going?" Seeing Gu Xu's sudden change of attitude, Chu Fengge was confused for a moment.
“Lu’s haunted house.”
