"The seal of the Nine Infant Snake Demon..."
This is the first time Chen Jisheng mentioned this matter in front of Gu Xu.
Before this, Gu Xu only knew that the "Nine Infant Snake Demon" was sealed underground by the Grand Master of Qi using a talisman and seal formation, but he did not know that there were so many complicated links in it.
"Follow me!"
Chen Jisheng walked through the neatly arranged bookshelves and took the lead to walk forward.
Gu Xu glanced at the books on the shelves on both sides inadvertently.
He still remembered that these old books had been gnawed by rats and moths for many years, and some pages had become damaged and blurred, making it difficult to read them
In order to solve this problem, Cui Tianyou also Students from Yishui County School were specially recruited to re-copy these books, and Gu Xu acted as his consultant and answered some controversial questions for him.
Now that the copying is over, the books on the bookshelf are completely new.
Unknowingly, the two of them reached the end of the library.
Chen Jisheng stood in front of the wall, reached out and tapped a specific brick three times.
At this moment, the brick he knocked began to tremble rapidly, and then dented backward, forming a small hole.
Immediately afterwards, the surrounding bricks began to collapse, and the hole became larger and larger, eventually turning into a low door.
Afterwards, Chen Jisheng took an oil lamp from the bookshelf and lit it with his true energy.
Under the dim light, Gu Xu saw a winding and narrow path leading underground behind the small door.
"I didn't expect that after staying in the library for more than a year, I didn't realize that there was a secret passage hidden here!" Seeing such a scene, Gu Xu sighed silently in his heart.
Chen Jisheng took the lead to walk towards the secret passage, followed by Gu Xu.
This secret passage has obviously been neglected for many years.
There was thick dust on the ground, and stepping on it felt like stepping on soft snow.
After a while, the two arrived in a small secret room.
The secret room was empty, except for an old wooden box placed in one corner.
Chen Jisheng squatted down and put his right hand on the side wall of the box, and the lid suddenly popped open automatically.
"On this box, there are engraved talismans and seals left by the Imperial Master eight years ago," Chen Jisheng said as he took out a book from the box and handed it to Gu Xu's hand. , "It can identify the monk, and only the governor of each county's exorcism department can open it.
"Although this box is tattered, it is actually very strong, even if it is the first Even a full blow from a cultivator at the peak of the Sixth Realm could not destroy it. "
Gu Xu took the book.
He discovered that the formation that sealed the "Nine Infant Snake Demon" was indeed divided into eight parts as Chen Jisheng said. According to the day after tomorrow, The Bagua directions are placed in eight counties including Yishui, Le'an, Anqiu and Zhucheng.
Yishui County is located in the center of the formation.The direction of due south corresponds to the "Li" position in the Bagua.
"Gu Xu, you have read a lot, you should know that 'the sky and the earth are connected, the water is separated from the fire, the thunder is thundered and the wind is blown, and the mountains are filled with water'," Chen Jisheng continued to introduce, "among them, 'Li' corresponds to 'Fire'. What you practice happens to be the fire attribute technique. You may gain a lot by strengthening this formation."
Gu Xu nodded. This boss worked really hard on his own practice.
In the next period of time, he began to read the contents of the book carefully.
Although the formations set up by the Imperial Master are very complex, the maintenance method cannot be simpler - the monks do not need to understand the principles, they only need to recite a few verses. .
Just like the "Ghost Killing Talisman" drawn by Gu Xu, anyone can use it as long as the correct spell is recited.
"Heaven has its generals, and the earth has its enemies. Cut off evil and eliminate evil, and relieve difficulties and dangers. The sky thunders fiercely, and the earth thunders faintly..."
He followed the formula in the book. , chant quietly silently.
During this process, there was a faint light coming out from under the floor of the secret room. It was very thin and very fast, like orange-red lines, and soon the whole room was illuminated.
After he finished speaking, these lights gradually faded away, and the interior of the secret room became extremely dark again.
As if nothing happened.
"Is it that simple?" Gu Xu frowned slightly.
"Yes, it's that simple." Chen Jisheng said with a slight smile.
Then, Gu Xu stood next to the oil lamp and began to tentatively ponder the principles of the formation.
Since his current level of formations is still far behind that of a national master, and the formations before him are only one-eighth of them, it is fundamental to completely understand or crack them. Impossible.
He can only learn and refer to some details and ideas of the battle method to improve his "ghost-killing talisman" and other talismans.
When a person concentrates on thinking, time always flies.
Unconsciously, it was already late at night.
At this time, Gu Xu closed the book with a satisfied smile on his face.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen!" he said sincerely.
He benefited a lot from the formation diagram left by the national master.
An idea suddenly appeared in his mind, and he had new ideas about talismans.
If nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to successfully develop the fifth generation "Tai Shang Arctic Demon-Suppressing and Demon-killing Talisman" when he returns home tonight.
…………
The nineteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.
It is suitable for traveling, going to work, recruiting a wife, and getting married.
Avoid seeking heirs, building graves, planting, and shepherding.
…………
This is the day when Gu Xu sets out for Laizhou Mansion.
He simply packed his luggage, took the "Jinghong Pen" and a thick pile of various talismans and seals, and set out from his home to the Yishui Exorcism Department Yamen.
ChenJi Sheng was already waiting for him here.
"Gu Xu, are you ready?"
Gu Xu nodded.
Then Chen Jisheng waved his hand and summoned the "Worthy" sword out of thin air, causing it to stop in mid-air. He stepped lightly and stepped firmly on the sword.
His clothes rustled in the cold wind.
In Gu Xu's eyes, Chen Jisheng, who was flying with a sword, seemed to have a bit more free and uninhibited temperament than usual.
"Come up, boy," Chen Jisheng said with a smile, "I will take you to Laizhou Mansion."
Hearing his words, Gu Xu also jumped up and stood next to him behind.
Because this was not his first time flying with someone else's sword, he felt very calm and was not too nervous.
In the blink of an eye, the "Worthy" sword soared into the air, carrying the two of them to an altitude of several hundred meters, and sped towards their destination, Laizhou Mansion.
…………
At the same time.
Shi Lei from Qianhu in Laizhou Prefecture has long known his mission.
He arrived at the Exorcist Department's Yamen early and sat in the lobby, looking through official documents while waiting for the young monks who were going to the Laoshan ruins to search for the inheritance of immortals to report to him.
"I heard that the young people who went to Xianrendongfu this time are all young talents carefully selected from across the country, and there are no ordinary people," Shi Lei thought silently in his heart, " I don’t know if I can choose a well-educated guy to be my son-in-law.”
