Gu Xu followed Qu Jinglong to the warehouse of the Exorcist Division headquarters.
This warehouse looks much more elegant than the one in Yishui County.
Not only does it occupy an area several times larger.
And outside its door, there are more than ten stone tablets neatly arranged.
Gu Xu casually glanced at the words on the stone tablet, and at a glance he saw "Tai'a Sword Technique", "Thunder Drawing Technique", "Cloud Sea Galaxy Sword", "Jade Rainbow Penetrating the Sun", "Meteor Walking on the Moon", etc. High-quality magic and martial arts.
The exchange prices for these items are also frighteningly high, with the lowest ones requiring tens of thousands of merit.
Compared with the "Guiyuan Jue", "Lightning Whip" and "Dog Beating Stick Method" in Yishui County that only require 500 meritorious deeds to exchange, there is a huge difference.
Gu Xu stood there and was silent for two seconds.
His mood at the moment was like a person who was used to buying things in a cheap mall and suddenly entered a luxury store.
"Master Gu, when you are in the third realm, you will be able to smash the conspiracy of Kongxuan Sanren and make immortal achievements," Qu Jinglong stood next to Gu Xu and continued to flatter him with a smile. "In my humble opinion, I am afraid that in a few years, all the high-grade spells on these stone tablets will be yours."
Gu Xu smiled and said nothing.
He knows that for things like high-grade spells, the more the better.
It contains the founder’s true meaning.
As Luo Sishou once wrote - "What suits you is the most powerful."
Only when it is in line with the founder's philosophy can we exert our full potential. Produce the maximum power of top-grade spells.
But Gu Xu’s purpose today is very simple.
He only intends to exchange it for one thing - "Duaedan".
Just like the first-level monks need the "Jingxin Pill", the second-level monks need the "Eternal Brightness Pill".
Third-level monks also need to use "Due Dan" during their cultivation in order to stabilize their minds and prevent their souls from being corroded by the evil spirit.
Of course, its price is also more expensive than "Jingxin Pill" and "Changming Pill".
A bottle of seven hundred and twenty meritorious deeds, with nine pills in each bottle.
However, at this moment, Gu Xu was surprised to find that he suddenly had 80,000 more meritorious deeds in his name than before.
"Sir Gu, these 100,000 meritorious deeds are your reward for stopping the promotion plan of Kongxuan Sanren and rescuing the people of Qingzhou Prefecture." The clerk guarding the warehouse opened the file records and quickly gave He explained, "This morning, your name will be recorded by the Chief of Staff himself."
The file book recording the merits of the Exorcism Department headquarters is a piece jointly created by Chief Luo and guest minister He Yiqun. The magic weapon comes out.
It is engraved with a heavenly magic circle inside, which not only records the number of meritorious services of all the exorcism monks in the Daqi Dynasty, but also can be updated and synchronized in real time.
Gu Xu lowered his head and glanced at the stallCase file, I just felt that the surprise came too suddenly.
He has never been richer than he is today.
You must know that he only received a reward of 5,000 meritorious deeds for solving the case of Lu's murderous house before - it sounds like a lot, but after exchanging ten bottles of "Eternal Brightness Pill", there was not much left. .
Now these 80,000 meritorious deeds can be exchanged for hundreds of bottles of "Duaedan", which is enough for him to use for a long time.
"The Chief Secretary is so generous this time!" Gu Xu sighed softly.
"Master Gu saved all the people from fire and water this time, which is a great merit!" Qu Jinglong next to him continued to compliment with a smile, "In the eyes of the official, no matter what kind of reward you get, even if it is It is not an exaggeration to become a general or a marquis."
Gu Xu suddenly wanted to shut up this guy.
Later, he exchanged ten bottles of "Duaedan" from the clerk guarding the warehouse and stuffed them into "Xianyunju".
While Luo Sishou cracked the causal spell of Kongxuan Sanren, he also erased the connection between items such as "Xianyunju" and their original owners.
Now these things completely belong to Gu Xu. He can use it with confidence.
Next, Gu Xu began to ask the clerk if there were any powerful magic weapons in the warehouse of the Exorcism Department headquarters.
As we all know, after a monk breaks through the fourth realm [Wangxiangtai], he can choose a natal magic weapon and keep it in his Dantian.
The monks can directly control the natal magic weapon with their thoughts, and can also fly with the help of it. The grade of the natal magic weapon will also continue to improve with the growth of the monks' cultivation.
It is like an extension of the monk's body.
Gu Xu felt that he should prepare for promotion to the fourth realm as soon as possible and find a suitable natal magic weapon.
Although he already has the famous weapon "Jinghong Brush" in his hand.
But after all, it was once the natal object of the ancestors of the Lu family, and the "Tao" of the ancestors of the Lu family is hidden in it.
Because Gu Xu is determined to become a saint, he can only learn from other people's "Tao" a little bit, but he can never accept it completely.
His natal objects must belong to him completely and be used to implement his own "Tao".
"Master Gu, you don't have to be too anxious about your natal treasure," at this time, Qu Jinglong suggested again, "This year, the monks who won the first prize at the 'Luoshui Conference' can enter the royal treasury. , choose a magic weapon as a reward. The things in the royal family's treasury are more valuable than those in the exorcism treasurer's treasury.
"Of course, people like Master Gu must use the best magic weapon. . You might as well wait until then to make your selection. "
"Winning the first prize at the 'Luoshui Conference'..." Gu Xu glanced at Qu Jinglong, smiled slightly and said, "You actually have so much confidence in me? ”
“Master Gu is a genius. His talent and courage are far beyond those of his peers. He can face “fierce god” level ghosts head-on at a young age."Zhi," Qu Jinglong said seriously, "If someone like you can't win the first place, who else can win the first place?" ”
Gu Xu suddenly didn’t know what to say to him.
………
Because Gu Xu didn’t have his own mansion in the capital yet, so He is currently living in the headquarters of the Exorcism Department.
The Exorcism Department headquarters is located on a hill in the northwest suburbs of Luojing City. You can look up at the stars and overlook the city.
It is not small in scale, with pavilions, exotic flowers and plants, and rockery pools within the walls.
Luo Sishou specially prepared a two-story building for Gu Xu as a temporary residence.
p>This small building faces a pond, is surrounded by rocks, and is surrounded by plants such as jasmine, crabapple, hibiscus, chrysanthemum, and wintersweet. It is filled with the fragrance of flowers all year round.
So it is surrounded by flowers. Named "Qingxiang Pavilion".
Generally, this "Qingxiang Pavilion" is reserved for distinguished guests, such as royal relatives, sect leaders, etc.
Because of this, Gu Xu’s move in attracted the surprised and envious looks of many monks in the Exorcism Department.
“This boy is only a third-level monk, why can he live in the ‘Qingxiang Pavilion’. ? "Some people are puzzled by the arrangements of the Chief Secretary.
"Because he killed a 'fierce god' level ghost and single-handedly rescued thousands of people in Qingzhou Prefecture," next to Someone immediately explained, “If you can do this kind of thing, you can also live in it. ”
“A third-level monk can kill the ‘fierce god’ by himself? Don't fool me. ”
“I didn’t fool you. This Master Gu is the new owner of the ‘Jinghong Pen’. The ‘Jinghong Pen’ is one of the twelve famous weapons of the Great Wilderness, and it was the natal magic weapon of the Ascending Immortal. I shouldn’t need to explain how powerful it is. "
"Oh, it turns out he is the owner of the famous vessel! That's okay. "
"Also, I have heard from others that this Master Gu also successfully practiced the particularly difficult spell "Seven Styles of Burning the Sky". The Chief Secretary has always been full of praise for his understanding. "
"Alas, this man has looks, understanding, and famous weapons...but I have nothing...God is really unfair! "
"..."
The comments of the people around him naturally fell into Gu Xu's ears.
This made him sigh silently in his heart again: Rumors will always become more and more exaggerated as word of mouth spreads.
He ignored these words and said goodbye to Qu Jinglong. Entering "Qingxiang Pavilion" and closing the door
The whole world became quiet.
At this moment, Gu Xu stood next to the window on the second floor of "Qingxiang Pavilion". , you can just see the scenery of the entire Luojing city.
The sparkling Luoshui flows through the city, like a smooth green silk satin.
On both sides of the river. The houses are lined up row upon row, and the streetsThe roads are criss-crossed, as orderly as the grids on a chessboard.
The broad "Tianjie" runs from north to south, with people coming and going on the street and busy traffic.
At the end of the "Heaven Street" is the Zichen Palace, the solemn and gorgeous residence of the Da Qi Emperor.
Looking from a distance, you can see its red walls and gold tiles complementing each other, shining dazzlingly under the sun.
It seems like an emperor wearing a yellow robe and a crown, standing in the most conspicuous place in Luojing City; the houses with blue bricks and gray tiles next to it are like its subjects, standing in the most conspicuous place in Luojing City. He prostrated himself in front of it and worshiped.
“What kind of secrets are hidden under Emperor Tianxing’s glorious appearance—one that not only makes the Kongxuan San people deeply fearful, but also causes the entire Lu family in Qingzhou to lose their lives?”
Gu Xu couldn't help but have this thought in his mind as he looked at the heavily guarded palace.
…………
After a while, Gu Xu sat down cross-legged on the bamboo mat next to the window, took out the small porcelain bottle, took a "Du Er Dan" and closed it. His eyes quickly entered a state of cultivation.
His consciousness descended into the dark and lightless world of the underworld again, and continued to move forward along the road leading to the depths of the underworld.
All the flowers on both sides of the Forgotten River have withered.
The sound of waves in the river gradually faded away.
The road beneath our feet has become increasingly narrow and rugged.
A steep hill appeared in front of him.
On the top of the hill, there is a high platform with high couplets and curved railings, which is majestic and majestic. There is mist all around, as if there are towering clouds.
Gu Xu knew that this hill was called "Sixiang Ridge" and this high platform was called "Wangxiang Terrace".
According to legend, ghosts in the underworld can look at their relatives in the upper world from a distance on the "Wangxiang Terrace".
There is a poem that goes: "The ghosts are in a hurry on the terrace looking at the hometown, and the eyes are full of tears. The wife, children, old and young cuddle up against the coffin, and relatives and friends gather in the mourning hall."
This is the scene described.
As long as you climb the "Wangxiang Terrace", you can become a monk in the fourth realm.
However, the road to "Wangxiang Terrace" is very difficult and dangerous.
There is only one stone path leading to the top of the hill, with a total of 4,999 steps.
On both sides of it are sword trees, and the sad cries of ghosts can be heard.
“Only by becoming stronger can you fundamentally solve the problem.”
“Only by becoming stronger can you protect the people you care about.”
< p>"I will wait for you on the 'Wangxiang Terrace'."The white-haired boy's words echoed in Gu Xu's mind again.
Gu Xu took a deep breath and stepped onto the ancient stone steps.
Level one, level two, level three, level four...
Suddenly, the ghost's cry turned into a huge spiritual wave, rushing towards him.
Gu Xu's body shook and he almost fell to the ground.
However, "degreeThe effect of "Edan" quickly turned into an invisible force, supporting his body, stabilizing his pace, and making his consciousness clearer.
Level 5, Level six, level seven...
He continued climbing with a determined expression.
The sun gradually set, the sky gradually dimmed, and the bustling crowds on the streets of Luojing City gradually dispersed. < /p>
Only Gu Xu’s true energy gradually increased unconsciously
…………
Yishui County, Exorcism Department Yamen. .
Three days after the flood receded, Chen Jisheng finally woke up in the check-in room.
A cool breeze blew in his face, carrying a wet smell. < /p>
He slowly opened his eyes and saw Wang Yang, the clerk standing next to him.
"Master Chen, you are finally awake!" "Wang Yang showed a surprised smile. There were obvious red bloodshot eyes in his eyes.
Chen Jisheng looked at this quiet and intact duty room and frowned slightly.
< p> "Wang Yang, do you know where the 'Nine Infant Snake Demon' has gone? ”“It was re-sealed by the National Preceptor. "
"What about the flood? "
" Already withdrawn. "
"What about the people trapped in the flood? "
"Some people unfortunately passed away, but most of them survived," Wang Yang replied, "Now, the Exorcist Division headquarters has dispatched many practitioners to help us rebuild after the disaster. Their lives have gradually returned to normal. ”
“It turns out that it was the saint who saved us! "Chen Jisheng was thoughtful.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of a serious question: "So where are Gu Xu and Shi Xiaohan now? Are they still alive? "
"They are all still alive and well in Luojing City. "
Wang Yang said as he took a document from the table next to him.
"Master Chen, this is the latest report from the Da Qi court. According to the official statement of the imperial court, the "Nine Infant Snake Demon" breaking out of the seal this time is actually the conspiracy of the legendary "Third Fierce God" - in order to be promoted to the "Ghost King", the "Third Fierce God" wants to use the "Nine Infant Snake Demon" With the power of the infant snake demon, one hundred thousand souls were obtained as sacrifices.
"Gu Xu is the major contributor to this incident. If he had not stopped the plan of the 'Third Fierce God' in time, I am afraid that the entire Qingzhou Prefecture would be filled with grief."
Speaking of which , Wang Yang paused for a while and took out two more envelopes from his pocket.
"Sir Chen, these two letters are sent to you from Luo Jing City. One is written by Gu Xu, and the other is written by Mr. Shangguan, the doctor at the Exorcism Department Headquarters."< /p>
"Bring them all to me to see!" Chen Jisheng ordered lightly.
What Wang Yang said sounded too outrageous.
Without seeing the black and white words on the paper with his own eyes, Chen Jisheng couldn’t believe it was true.
