After Gu Xu left the underground cave of the "Longevity Sect", he happened to come to a small village.
It was still dark at this time, and the stars were high in the sky.
Low houses are scattered on the hillside, dotted with trees, looking quiet and peaceful. Occasionally, there will be a few sudden barks, echoing among the empty mountains.
When Gu Xu approached the village, he was surprised to find that the rune named "Hui Lu" in his consciousness suddenly became brighter.
Immediately afterwards, a scorching power surged out from the runes, then flowed into his meridians and merged into his true essence.
The closer he is to the village, the stronger this power becomes.
"What's going on?" He frowned slightly.
He stood there for a moment, and when he saw that Zhao Yan showed no signs of catching up, he was about to walk into the village to see what was going on.
Soon, he walked to a room lit by dim yellow candlelight.
Although the room was covered with window paper, Gu Xu could not directly see what was happening inside.
But with his extraordinary spiritual perception, he clearly heard the sounds coming from the house.
It was the deep voice of a middle-aged man, mixed with the cry of a baby.
This person is praying to a god named "Hui Lu", praying that his barn will not suffer a fire this year, and that his family's food will be safe.
In Gu Xu's perception, this man's prayer seemed to be the source of the mysterious power in his body.
In addition, Gu Xu also discovered that this god called "Hui Lu" did not have a purely positive image in the minds of the villagers here.
He seems to be a mixture of black and white.
He can not only provide warmth to the villagers through fires in the cold winter, but can also cause fires and bring disaster to the villagers.
"According to the records in the data, high-level monks of the Changshou Sect will recruit followers and absorb incense in private," Gu Xu thought silently in his heart, "The Daqi Dynasty believes that this is a kind of It was an act of disrespect to God, so they were all destroyed.
“But this way can indeed gain strength.
"Maybe the power of the gods above the Nine Heavens also comes from this.
"It's just that in order to obtain this power, the monks of the Changshou Sect may have adopted some unethical methods. For example, if the villagers were disrespectful to Huilu, they would set fire to the villagers' granaries. In this way, the villagers here would have to enshrine Huilu on the altar. ”
At this time, Gu Xu’s bold guess not long ago appeared in Gu Xu’s mind
“The names of gods such as Taishang Haotian and Ziwei Emperor may be regarded as A kind of talisman. ”
“They are symbols of the authority of the gods and the link between their beings and their believers. ”
At the same time, Gu Xu thought about the thing in the caveAn exhausted river of magma.
"According to Luo Sishou, this magma river has existed for at least more than twenty years," he continued to think, "Before this, many people with higher cultivation levels than me People who practiced there must have absorbed more calories than me, but this river of earth still flows endlessly.
“But after I received my return, it stopped.
"I think that the Huilu rune in my conscious world is probably the energy source of the magma river. By absorbing the mind power of believers, it creates a special high-temperature illusion in the cave, giving it to The earth is filled with endless energy.
“It is like a solar cell, and the thoughts of believers are the sunlight it absorbs.
“Even though the Changshou Sect was eliminated by the imperial court, there were still people who believed in the fictitious god Huilu. Therefore, the energy supply of the magma ground river never stopped, and gradually decreased over time. Cheng Duo.
“But now, I unplugged the battery, and the magma river lost its energy source, so it dried up. And the telepathy of these villagers came to me. "
Thinking of this, Gu Xu realized another question: Why are there so many people practicing in the lava cave, but only I can obtain this "Hui Lu" rune
He After thinking for a moment, I felt that this should be related to the Karma Fire Sutra to a certain extent.
Maybe it's because Gu Xu's cultivation level is not high enough, maybe it's because he doesn't understand the "Hui Lu" rune thoroughly enough, or maybe it's because of it. Because he has not fully mastered the use of "mind power", he always feels that the new power pouring into his body at this moment is like drizzle, which is a world of difference compared to the turbulent river of magma.
"In the environment where the Daqi Dynasty generally believes in God, I must not use this power casually, or even expose this Huilu Rune in front of others," he reminded himself in his mind, "Anyway, it The power of is currently very tasteless to me. I have to be extremely cautious.
"But if I have the opportunity in the future, I can try to study it.
"I think that this Huilu rune may hide information about the ninth realm. To be precise, it is the real The secret of the ninth realm.
"In addition, I have to find out as soon as possible what the astrolabe that the white-haired boy is talking about is."
After getting these conclusions, Gu Xu stopped Instead of delaying here, he immediately used the "Meteor Walking on the Moon" movement technique to return to Luojing City at a speed as fast as flying.
Compared with the grand pomp and circumstance when Zhao Yan returned to Beijing, he was extremely low-key.
When the eastern sky turned white, he arrived at the headquarters of the Exorcism Department alone.
Then he found the official in charge of statistics of meritorious deeds, took off the jade pendant from his waist, tapped it twice, and showed him the image of himself killing demons and demons along the way.
The official name of Gu San is Li Leyan.
Today heResponsible for the night shift, sitting alone behind the desk, feeling irritable and extremely bored.
But since someone might come to him at any time to report tasks and receive meritorious service, he did not dare to close his eyes and enter a state of cultivation easily.
So he could only force himself to sit upright in the chair, fighting hard against sleepiness, and trying to restrain himself from opening his mouth to yawn.
When Gu Xu started to "play the video", he was still silently praying to God in his heart, hoping that the duration of the video would not be too long, that Gu Xu could go out quickly, and that his night shift could start early. One point ends.
However, after a moment, Li Leyan suddenly straightened his back, opened his eyes wide, and his sleepiness disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Because he saw that Gu Xu instantly killed the evil spirit-level ghost "White Ape" in just a blink of an eye.
A bright fire burst out from under the "white ape"'s fur, exploding like a big fireball, and disappeared with a "bang".
"That's an evil-level ghost. I can't beat it even if it's ten." Li Leyan tried to stay calm on the surface, but there was a villain in his heart who kept yelling, "But Mr. Gu He actually solved it with one move
"I can only say that Master Gu has easily accomplished what we couldn't do
"Also, what Master Gu used is this. The spell is so cool. The bright and dazzling ball of light, the intertwining of light and shadow, and the white monkey that exploded in an instant looked like a feast for the eyes. It was much more handsome than my mediocre stick technique.
"Oh, what's the use of that iron rod? I'll just throw it away and switch to practicing magic.
""
But the image does not end there.
After the "White Ape" turned into ashes, the scene on the light screen changed rapidly.
Gu Xu in the video appeared in the ruined temple, restored the "temple ghost" hanging around him to its original shape, and then easily eliminated it with the "Seven Burning Sky Styles".
Li Leyan almost jumped up from his chair and couldn't help but want to applaud Gu Xu.
"Master Gu can actually see the weakness of this ghost at a glance. He is indeed a genius who is known for his extensive reading and extensive knowledge. It turns out that reading is really useful
"Also There is a raging fire burning around him, although I still can't tell what kind of magic it is, but it is still so handsome
"Brother Wu once showed off to me that he has mastered a magic called Sun. , when used, the two arms will light up and burst into flames, which looks much more powerful than us who can only play with iron rods
"Haha, what's so great about that
" He should really be allowed to see Master Gu's magic, how can his little flame compete with Master Gu's scorching sun
""
As Gu Xu killed the people on the road The ghosts were displayed in front of Li Leyan in chronological order. On the surface, Li Leyan remained silent and forced to be calm, but the drama in his heart could not stop at all.
In his opinion, Gu Xu's trip to Beijing was indeed a great achievement.
Even the heroic knights who play the leading role in the storyteller’s stories may not have such brilliant achievements as Gu Xu.
After all, in order to attract the audience, the storyteller will definitely deliberately make up some difficulties and obstacles for the protagonist. Sometimes he is betrayed by his friends, sometimes he is deceived and seduced by a female ghost, and sometimes he falls off a cliff unfortunately, which makes the story more ups and downs, twists and turns.
But Gu Xu just pushed it all the way, as lightly as killing a chicken and chopping vegetables.
Ghosts of different types and levels failed to stop him.
After a few minutes, the video ends.
Gu Xu successfully received thousands of merits and left happily.
Li Leyan was left sitting quietly, his thoughts confused, his spirit high, and no sleepiness at all.
He thought silently and must find some free time to go to the library to check out what spells Gu Xu used in the process of killing ghosts.
If they are not difficult, he will try to learn them.
Not only because they are strong, but also because they look so handsome, and the light and shadow effects are very dazzling.
Li Leyan has already begun to imagine how wonderful the expressions on the faces of his colleagues will be if he performs these spells in front of his colleagues.
On this day, Li Leyan, who was accustomed to the boring and boring life in the yamen, suddenly found the motivation to fight.
s Asking for double monthly tickets
