Princess Zhaoning narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at Gu Xu from head to toe, and then said with a smile: "Jin Yangzi, I hope you can show your true ability, and don't let me and the saints down. Ah!"
Gu Xu nodded in agreement.
A few minutes later, Luo Chuan, the head of the Exorcism Department, also arrived at Longmen Academy.
As usual, he was wearing a crane cloak and his hair was disheveled, looking casual and carefree.
Behind him, there was only Shangguan Jin.
Actually, Chu Fengge originally wanted to follow Luo Sishou all the way today.
He was successfully promoted to the fifth level before he was thirty years old - this is something that very few people have been able to accomplish since the founding of Da Qi more than 400 years ago. So he wanted to take this opportunity to show off his cultivation level to the monks at Longmen Academy.
However, at this time, Shangguan Jin suddenly said to him with a smile: "Master Chu, I didn't expect that you are also interested in Master Gu's talisman and seal skills."
Listen Upon hearing her words, Chu Fengge immediately realized: Even if he has gained the appreciation and envy of the people around him with his cultivation in the fifth realm, the protagonists today can only be Gu Xu and his competitors.
Once Gu Xu defeats his opponent and stands out, all eyes will be on Gu Xu - in this way, no one will ever notice his insignificant supporting role.
Chu Fengge had already had enough of this feeling.
In order to avoid another blow to his mentality, he chose to stay in the yamen, focusing on practicing and ignoring what was going on outside the window.
The appearance of Luo Sishou once again caused a sensation among the academy crowd.
Luo Chuan, the head of the Exorcism Department, left the impression in everyone's mind that he was a wise man who "strategized and won decisively thousands of miles away". He rarely leaves the exorcism department's headquarters, but he relies on his mysterious and powerful divination skills to solve problems thousands of miles away.
Everyone thinks that what Luo Sishou pays attention to on weekdays is the universe, the stars, the avenues of heaven and earth, and the survival and decline of the Qi Dynasty.
He had never attended any major events such as the handover ceremony of the Academy Dean.
I didn’t expect that he would come to Longmen Academy in person today to pay attention to the competition between several Talisman Masters.
"Why is this? Is it because there is a junior from the Exorcist Department today?"
Everyone's eyes fell on Gu Xu.
After the chief arrived, Da Qi's Imperial Division followed closely.
Since the Imperial Master is the honorary dean of Longmen Academy, most of the academy’s teachers and students are not unfamiliar with him.
However, when Gu Xu saw the appearance of the national master, he was a little surprised.
As a Seventh Realm Saint and Fu Dao Master, Gu Xu has always been regarded as the goal of his life.
In his imagination, this strong man who used heaven and earth as paper, used true energy as ink, and effortlessly sealed the "Nine Infant Snake Demon" should be the same as Luochuan. fairy windHe is a man of integrity, and his every move is full of the demeanor of a master.
However, in reality, the Imperial Master of Da Qi was a short, dark-skinned, middle-aged man with ordinary appearance.
It's not like a practitioner who uses talismans to enter Taoism, but more like an old farmer working in the countryside.
If you replace his long shirt with short clothes, let him wear a straw hat and hold a hoe, and let him stand in the field hoeing, there will be no sense of disharmony in the scene.
"Sure enough, every saint in Daqi has a different painting style!" Gu Xu couldn't help but think of Yan Guogong Zhao Changying with his clothes open and drinking from a large bowl on the observatory at the Exorcism Department Headquarters He sighed silently in his mind, "I don't know what Master Jueming of Lingshan Temple and Xu Man, the master of Jiange Pavilion, look like."
Luo Sishou stopped when he reached the steps and did not step forward. When he greeted Gu Xu, he just glanced at him lightly, maintaining a cold and mysterious image.
On the contrary, Imperial Master Da Qi had a warm smile on his face and walked up to Gu Xu without any pretense: "Are you Gu Xiaoyou from the Exorcism Department?"
"It's me. "Master," Gu Xu nodded politely and replied.
"After the Qingzhou Prefecture incident, I saw the runes you drew on the 'God Machine Token'," the national master smiled kindly, "I have to say, your idea is very good. , can actually transform the 'Seven Forms of Burning Heaven' left by my master into a talisman array, which can be used to break the spell of Kongxuan Sanren to block the heavenly secrets.
"Even I may not be able to think of this way. I can't imagine it, let alone engrave it on the 'God Machine Token' at that critical moment.
"Now that the 'Long Night' is approaching, His Majesty is in great need of talented and courageous people like you to help the Qi Dynasty tide over the difficulties.
"You may not know , I recommended you to be a 'guest teacher' at Longmen Academy. My original intention was that you could share some experience in drawing talismans with the Academy's Talisman Masters - in this way, when we face the 'Long Night', we may be able to Have more confidence. < /p>
“I have great trust in your strength. You must never let others doubt my vision! ”
Gu Xu nodded repeatedly, saying that he will do his best and will never let the Grand Master down.
He felt that this Da Qi Grand Master has a character A straightforward person - he speaks straightforwardly, never hides, and does not think about whether his words will offend others.
At this time, Gu Xu's competitors were staying nearby, but the national master was. He said bluntly, "The person I recommend is you."
In addition, from the words of the national master, Gu Xu also felt that the other party was always dedicated to the country and the monarch. A worried person
He is worried about the coming long night and promotes talents in an eclectic way.
He himself is the honorary president of Longmen Academy.
But he ignored some potential conflicts between Longmen Academy and the Exorcism Department and asked an official from the Exorcism Department to teach the students of Longmen Academy.
It was as if in his eyes, all the sophistication of the world and all the unspoken rules in official circles did not exist.
Unknowingly, Gu Xu thought of the understanding of the "Mingzhu" spell written in the notes by the Grand Master of Qi - "Dedicate yourself to death," and "Burn yourself to benefit the world."
He felt a little admired.
“Fortunately, the Imperial Preceptor is a seventh-level saint, so we don’t have to worry about others taking action against him,” he thought silently, “otherwise, with his upright temperament, he would have brought down the entire Daqi officialdom. You've offended Guang Guang!"
While Gu Xu was talking to the Imperial Master, Luo Chuan's expression remained calm and composed, without any change.
But Shangguan Jin, standing behind him, vaguely felt that the air around Luochuan seemed to have become colder.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from not far ahead: "Sorry, I'm late."
PS: Sorry for my slow speed. The chapter is still a little late. QAQ, please vote for me!
PS2: Some book friends have asked before, "Why doesn't the chief minister let the national master accept the protagonist as his apprentice?" Now everyone should know the answer!
