…………
But the worry in Gu Xu’s heart did not completely disappear.
Because Kongxuan Sanren is still hiding in the dark and missing.
In addition, he also masters the weird and unpredictable art of cause and effect.
Gu Xu is very worried that Kongxuan Sanren will continue to do things secretly, endangering his own life and the lives of those around him.
“I know what you are worried about,” Luo Sishou said with a faint smile, “Although Kongxuan Sanren’s cause and effect technique is very mysterious and impossible to guard against, it also has many restrictions.
"For example, in this Luojing City, there is the 'Tianlong Formation' that Emperor Taizu personally presided over and arranged. The crooked ways of Kongxuan Sanren will be blocked from the formation.
"What's more, as you are now a hero of Da Qi, the emperor and saints are paying attention to your life and safety. If anyone dares to touch you at this time, he will definitely pay an extremely heavy price. A heavy price."
Luo Sishou paused for a while, then continued: "As for the Qingzhou Prefecture area, I will pay close attention to it recently. Zhao Changying, the Duke of Yan Kingdom, should also stay there for a while. After that, your Majesty will also send royal servants to stay in Qingzhou Mansion for a long time. Your friends and colleagues will be much safer than before.
"This time, His Majesty was very angry that Kong Xuan Sanren had done so many things secretly under his nose. I think that for some time to come, the ghosts and monsters in Daqi will probably have no peace. "
Gu Xu nodded silently.
He picked up the exquisite white jade tea cup on the table and took a sip. A clear and shallow bitterness rippled on the tip of his tongue. .
This tea seemed to have a magical power, quietly washing away his restless emotions and making his heart calm and rational again.
"Gu Xu. , what are your plans for the next few months? "After a brief silence, Luo Sishou continued to ask.
"Planning..." Gu Xu thought for a while and replied, "It should be the same as before, practice hard and complete tasks for the long term. Live a hundred years and work hard. "
"Actually, what I want to say is that with the great contributions you have made this time, it is inevitable to be promoted to a higher position," Luo Sishou smiled, "If His Majesty does not object, you He should be able to be promoted once again and become the youngest sixth-grade official in the history of the Daqi Exorcism Department.
"Maybe you can also get a title, and have the food and alchemy iron certificates that all officials in Daqi dream of.
"So now, I want to ask you Opinion: In the months before the official launch of the 'Shenji Camp' plan,Would you rather be an official somewhere or stay in the capital? ”

[The follow-up is repeated content, you can come back tomorrow morning!]
[The follow-up is repeated content, you can come back tomorrow morning!]
“If I can reach the eighth level in my lifetime, I will definitely kill that old guy with my own hands. "Gu Xu said calmly.
"Very good," the white-haired boy said in an approving tone, then glanced at the nail on his left shoulder, "Remember this hatred, and then please help me Pull out this nail. "
Gu Xu took two steps forward, then stopped: "I can gain magical powers by just pulling out a nail? "
"Supernatural powers are just what ordinary people say," the white-haired boy said with a look of disdain in his eyes. "When their souls are strongly stimulated, they will solidify a unique form according to their destiny. ability. This is an accidental phenomenon that occurs only once in a lifetime.
“But this ability that appears by luck is not worthy of you, or in other words, not worthy of us.
“Your power has a more noble name——< /p>
"It's called 'authority'."
"Authority..." Gu Xu recited the word silently in his mind.
At the same time, his eyes swept across the four nails on the white-haired boy, and then fell on the wound on his forehead.
"According to you...these four nails represent four kinds of sealed authority?" He frowned slightly and said.
“Smart!” The white-haired boy smiled and gave him a thumbs up.
"Then what happened to the wound on your head?" Gu Xu asked again, "Is it possible that I already had a kind of authority before?"
"No. Wrong." The white-haired boy replied.
"But I have never seen you before."
"That nail fell off naturally the moment you came into this world," the white-haired boy explained , "The authority it represents is called 'wisdom'.
"Your ability to remember things, your ability to understand far beyond ordinary people, and your almost outrageous understanding all come from it. ”
Bowen Qiangmei.
Unlucky genius.
The names of these two talents suddenly popped into Gu Xu’s mind.
He used to think that these two talents were randomly drawn in the game in his previous life, and they were the "gold fingers" that the legendary time traveler must have.
But now it seems that these talents are not. The origin is not as simple as it seems?
"Come on, Gu Xu, help me pull out this nail," the white-haired boy pointed at his left shoulder, "It's time to find the true self. . ”
“Why this nail? "Gu Xu asked again.
"You have so many questions," the white-haired boy said with a bright smile, "What is the thing you desire most in your life? "
"Of course it is immortality. ”
“Then at this time youWhat do you want most at this moment? ”
“Get out of trouble and survive. ”
“The authority represented by this nail may help you solve this problem. ”
“Is it really possible?” ”
“It depends on how you use it. ”
At this moment, countless images flashed through Gu Xu’s mind.
There was the black altar deep in Yishan Mountain, the nine clones of Kongxuan Sanren, and the evil spirit wreaking havoc on the world. The nine-infant snake demon, Yishui County who transformed into Zeguo, and Shi Xiaohan who fell to the ground in pain...
How powerful is it that can help him get out of this desperate predicament? Kongxuan Sanren’s plan to sacrifice one hundred thousand souls to be promoted to the “Ghost King”?
Gu Xu sighed, took a few steps forward, and according to the white-haired boy, grabbed the nail nailed to his left shoulder with both hands. , and pulled out with force.
In an instant, it was like a flood breaking down a dam. An invisible force surged from all directions and filled Gu Xu's body instantly.
His consciousness became extremely clear, as if he was integrated with the whole world.
Under the Naihe Bridge, the dirty river water suddenly set off huge waves, and countless lonely ghosts floating in the river screamed.
It seems that Gu Xu’s breakthrough made them feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.
“Now, you have a second authority——’ Time'," the white-haired boy said with a smile, "its uses are ever-changing. Hope it shines in your hands. "
Gu Xu quietly felt the new power in his body and did not respond immediately.
The white-haired boy said again: "Keep going, Gu Xu. All the misfortunes you are currently experiencing are ultimately caused by your lack of ability. Only by becoming stronger can the problem be fundamentally solved. Only by becoming stronger can you protect the people you care about from harm.
"Keep moving forward! I will wait for you on the 'Wangxiang Terrace'."
After finishing speaking, the figure of the white-haired boy began to gradually become blurred, and it became very clear. It will soon disappear on the "Naihe Bridge".
"Wait!" Gu Xu suddenly said, "I have another question!"
"What question?"
"You just said, Kongxuan Sanren is a frog in the well and talking nonsense," Gu Xu asked eagerly, "Can you explain it in a little more detail?"
"'Only transforming into a ghost is the true path to the peak of power. "Path," this sentence is nonsense." The corners of the white-haired boy's mouth turned up slightly, "Ghosts are actually slaves to the rules of the world.
"Practice itself is like sailing against the current. If you follow the so-called rules, you will eventually lose yourself and be assimilated into this cold and dark world.
"Although the human race's cultivation method is to live toward death, the first eight realms are all fine.
"Only the ninth realm is a scam.
“Oh, ‘The Way to Immortality’, this name is deceiving at first sight.. "
Gu Xu narrowed his eyes slightly and kept these words in his mind.
Then he bowed his hands to the young man and saluted: "Thank you for your advice! ”
“You and I are one, why should we be so polite? "The white-haired boy said with a smile.
The next second, he and the Sansheng Stone behind him disappeared from Gu Xu's eyes, leaving no trace.
Gu Xu looked at the empty space Naihe Bridge, I just felt like everything that happened just now was like a dream
"Time..."
"Escape..."
"Broken. Method..."
He took a deep breath, clenched his hands into fists, and dug his nails deeply into his flesh.
Then he strode toward the other side of the Wangchuan River. Let's go.
The flowers bloom on the other side, but there are no leaves.
It's as red as blood and as bright as a torch.
But, it's in Gu Xu. When I stepped onto the ground on the other side of the Forgotten River, all the flowers on the other side withered and withered.
The petals slowly fell, and then they were buried in the endless blood-red ocean. Disappeared in this dim netherworld
The whole world was reframed into a monotonous gray and black color
…………
The real world, beside the black altar. .
Gu Xu slowly opened his eyes
At this time, his face became extremely pale, his body temperature dropped a lot, and his heartbeat almost stopped.
If someone touches him, they might think he is a corpse.
"Have you mastered the "Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique" initially? "Not far away, the hunchbacked old man turned his head and asked.
According to the division of labor between Kongxuan's clones, he is responsible for guarding Gu Xu at this time.
Gu Xu He nodded and replied: "It's initially effective. At present, I have crossed the 'Naihe Bridge' and broke through the third realm. "
His eyes were as cold as ice, showing no emotion at all.
"Very good," the hunchbacked old man nodded with satisfaction, "You are worthy of being my successor. I successfully changed my practice method in such a short period of time. "
Gu Xu said nothing.
With a thought in his mind, he took out hundreds of fifth-generation "Tai Shang Arctic Demon Suppressing and Demon Killing Talismans" and held them tightly. In hand.
"What do you want to do?" "The hunchbacked old man narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled contemptuously, "You don't want to use this thing against me, do you? ”
He didn’t understand what Gu Xu wanted to do.
The fifth-generation “ghost-killing talisman” is indeed powerful, and several stacked up can even easily kill “evil spirits” "level ghost.
But for Kongxuan Sanren, who has mastered the "Way of Cause and Effect" and is about to be promoted to the "Ghost King", even if there are thousands of "Ghost Killing Talisman", it is not enough for him. There is no threat at all
Furthermore, he is confident enough - as long as Gu Xu makes any dangerous move, he can do it.Control Gu Xu immediately.
But Gu Xu ignored his question.
He held the "Ghost Killing Talisman" and began to recite the "Ghost Expelling Curse" softly:
"Five stars suppress the color and illuminate the mysterious world. Thousands of gods and saints protect me. Spirit. The giant beasts in the sky subdued the demons in the five heavens. Wherever they were, all the gods responded with urgency! "Ghost Killing Talisman" was thrown lightly.
Unexpectedly, Gu Xu did not throw the "Ghost Killing Talisman" at Kong Xuan Sanren.
Instead, he threw it at himself.
Suddenly, the talisman instantly turned into a dazzling golden flame, like the rising sun, completely covering Gu Xu's figure.
Hiss, hiss.
The hot air currents rolled upwards, and bright tongues of flames flew around.
"He actually wanted to commit suicide!" The hunchbacked old man opened his eyes wide.
He really couldn't imagine that Gu Xu would make such a decisive move in order to disobey his control.
Gu Xu has practiced the "Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique", but has not yet fully mastered it.
At this moment, he is a half-human, half-ghost existence.
Humans are immune to the damage of the "ghost-killing talisman", but Gu Xu, who has ghost characteristics, is not.
The flames generated by these hundreds of "ghost-killing charms" can burn him to ashes in a short time.
Seeing such a scene, the hunchbacked old man wanted to use the technique of "abduction" to make up a story that "the ghost-killing talisman suddenly failed, causing Gu Xu to fail to commit suicide."
After all, an excellent test subject like Gu Xu can only be found once in a while.
However, in the next second, the raging fire suddenly dissipated.
Gu Xu stood quietly, unscathed.
In addition, the sinister aura on his body also disappeared without a trace.
His heart resumed beating, his blood began to rush, and the color returned to his pale cheeks.
The hunchbacked old man could feel that Gu Xu was a complete human being at this moment.
The only difference is that the bracelet made of black jade on Gu Xu's wrist broke into countless pieces and fell to the ground.
"Substitute bracelet!" The hunchbacked old man was shocked.
The "Substitute Bracelet" is a precious life-saving item given to Gu Xu by Luo Chuan, the head of the Exorcist Department. It can resist a fatal attack from the outside world for the owner, and at the same time, it can remove all negative effects and effects on the owner. under control.
Because Gu Xu had just become a half-human, half-ghost existence, the "ghost-killing talisman" was a "fatal attack from the outside world" to him.
However, the "substitute bracelet" also helped him relieve the negative effects on his body.
The evil spirit he had just absorbed was expelled from his body.
He is still an uncorrupted human being.
The hunchbacked old manThe uncle never expected that Gu Xu would use such a whimsical way to break the influence of "Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique" on him.
But the old man chuckled and didn't care.
He glanced at Shi Xiaohan, who was unconscious on the ground, and said to Gu Xu: "Do you really not want to practice the "Ming Zhao Forbidden Technique"? Well, I will take away your little lover's life. ”
