"Don't dare?"
"Or, I can't," Gu Xu looked into the distance and said in a calm voice, "You know, I don't have enough time and I can't give her A certain future.
“So I cannot be willful in this matter. ”
Chen Jisheng looked at the young man’s slender face and sighed softly.
The world can only see his bright side, and only knows that he has enviable talents and talents. Opportunity, but he didn't know the pain behind him.
He is only seventeen years old. He should be a vigorous and free-spirited age.
However, he lives a pure life. The ascetic monk buries all the emotions of youth deep in his heart.
Becoming a saint before the age of thirty really comes at a price. Believe you can do it. "Chen Jisheng patted the young man's back gently.
He knew that Gu Xu was a man of firm faith - what he needed was never the comfort of others.
"Thank you. "Gu Xu smiled.
His life has always been monotonous and boring, just like the boring black and white words in the spiritual scriptures.
But when the girl appeared, life suddenly changed. Surprise.
Just like the exquisite food box containing fish porridge and sweet-scented osmanthus cake that was handed to him on that drizzly morning in early October.
What he saw, heard and felt. , everything he saw began to have color.
But reason told him that he could not be greedy for these colorful colors.
So he took a deep breath and closed his eyes silently.
…………
At this time, Chen Jisheng clearly felt that the evil spirit around the Yishui Exorcism Department suddenly formed a huge vortex, moving towards Gu A surge of people came from Xu’s position
“This kid has had another epiphany! ” He felt a little surprised.
Although he had known for a long time that Gu Xu had extraordinary cultivation qualifications.
But he could enter concentration as soon as he closed his eyes, and he could break through as soon as he entered concentration—— This is still beyond ordinary people's cognition.
Seeing this scene, Chen Jisheng immediately took out an "Eternal Brightness Pill" from the small porcelain bottle in his pocket and stuffed it into Gu Xu's mouth.
As the chief in charge of slaying demons and exterminating demons in a county, Chen Jisheng always carries a small amount of various elixirs on his body - in this way, when his monks are eroded by Yin Qi during their practice, they will go crazy. Only then could he deal with it in time to avoid the tragedy.
Now, the pill he carried came in handy
The moment Gu Xu swallowed the pill. , "Red Flame True Art" operates rapidly, transforming these luck into hot and majestic true energy
...The second song of Huangquan...
...The third song of Huangquan. Song...
...The Fourth Song of Huangquan...
Under the illumination of the ever-lasting lights, Gu Xu walked along the winding "Huangquan Road".Moving forward like a meteor, unknowingly, he broke through several small realms in a row, and his cultivation level soared directly to the "Fourth Song of Underworld".
Chen Jisheng watched all this silently, feeling very emotional.
…………
A few minutes later, Gu Xu opened his eyes.
The new moon blew away the thin clouds in the sky, revealing the crescent moon.
The silver moonlight fell on the young man's face, making his eyes particularly bright.
He clenched his fist in his right hand and then slowly released it.
At this moment, he clearly felt the fiery true energy rushing and roaring in his meridians.
Like a silent volcano, waiting for the moment of eruption.
"Thank you." He turned his head and said to Chen Jisheng again.
What he was grateful for this time was the "Eternal Life Pill" that Chen Jisheng stuffed into his mouth in time.
"You're welcome," Chen Jisheng said with a faint smile, "As your superior, this is what I should do."
Gu Xu was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Master Chen, I want to do something now."
"What thing?"
"You should remember that not long ago, there was an 'Evil Spirit' level Sophora japonica The tree demon parasitized a part of his soul on a young woman of the Bai family through the 'divine dancing' ritual," Gu Xu said calmly, "At that time, Shi Xiaohan and I took over this mission and went to find Liu. Street, wiped out the split soul of this tree demon.
“Now, I want to get rid of the tree demon’s body to prevent it from continuing to harm the people of Yishui. "
Although Gu Xu's face was calm and his voice was calm, Chen Jisheng could feel that the young man was not in a good mood at the moment.
"Are you sure? ? " Chen Jisheng asked.
Gu Xu nodded.
"Although the tree demon is an 'evil spirit' level ghost, its strength will be reduced after it loses a trace of its soul. It has fallen sharply," he analyzed seriously. "Although I am only a second-level monk now, after possessing the 'Jinghong Pen', I can fight with the third-level monks without losing.
"Besides, I still have the 'substitute bracelet' and the 'empty-breaking bead' given to me by the Chief of Staff. Even if I can't defeat it, I can escape unscathed."
Having said this, Gu Xu smiled slightly and showed the "substitute bracelet" on his wrist to Chen Jisheng.
"Okay." Chen Jisheng responded.
It can be seen that Gu Xu has long made up his mind - his last words were actually said to reassure himself.
"But, Gu Xu, the Exorcist Department has not yet been tasked with killing the tree demon, how will your merit be calculated?"
"Let's calculate it after I come back!" Gu Xu stood up as he spoke.
He held a slender "Jinghong Pen" in one hand, and used copper coins in the other hand to divine the location of the locust tree demon.
Subsequently, he cast "Meteor Walk"The "Yue" movement technique disappeared at the end of the street in an instant.
At this moment, only Chen Jisheng was left on the steps of the Yamen.
The new wind blew in his face.
The suppressed, irritable, and suffocating emotions crept into his sleeves.
He looked at the bluestone ground covered with moonlight and saw the hazy white light, and felt like it. It was a thin layer of snow.
…………
About a quarter of an hour later, Gu Xu’s figure reappeared in Chen Jisheng’s sight.
His clothes are fluttering, his steps are like the wind, and his blue shirt is still spotless.
His eyes are still clear and clean, like a calm lake, reflecting everything in the world, except for his true heart. /p>
"Master Chen, I'm back. "
"What about the tree demon? "
"Dead. ”
The tone of his speech was very casual.
It didn’t seem like he was discussing the life and death of an “evil-level” ghost, but it seemed like he was talking about trivial household matters.< /p>
At the same time, he took off the jade pendant from his waist, tapped it twice, and placed it in front of Chen Jisheng.
I saw a tall and straight locust tree standing proudly on the hillside. .
The branches are strong and evil.
The thin young man stood in its shade and lifted his slender brush suddenly on the hillside. There is a snowfall.
The white snow is pressing on the branches.
As if the spring breeze is blowing, the pear tree is in full bloom.
When the snow melts, The tall locust trees withered and then turned into ashes.
“It’s so boring. ”
The young man sighed, turned and left.
