Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 155
The top of Laoshan, in front of the ancient building.

"Senior brother is indeed right," said the little boy in white in a flat tone, "That ordinary-looking monk who uses a sword only has a sword in his heart, nothing else.

"He actually resisted the temptation of inheritance, voluntarily gave up climbing the mountain, and turned back down the mountain."

"That's because his ambition is much greater than that of ordinary people," the little boy in black responded. "Only monks who are determined to aim for holiness can make such a choice."

"Well, there is only one person left on the mountain road now," the little Taoist boy in white frowned slightly, "Young monks of this generation are really not good at it!"

"That's right," the little Taoist boy in black nodded in agreement, "They are not bad in talent, but they always think of opportunistic opportunities - if they are the disciples of the immortal master, the immortal master will definitely blow his beard and stare with anger.

"Now that things have happened, I can only silently pray that the last remaining young Fuxiu can pass the last section of the mountain road and come here."

…………

At the foot of Mount Lao.

"Candle Dragon" Chen Yanping stood beside Qianhu Shilei in Laizhou Prefecture, watching "White Tiger" Su Xiao approaching from the mountain road, he couldn't help opening his eyes wide.

"I didn't expect that even Su Xiao failed on this mountain climbing road," he thought silently, feeling deeply inconceivable, "It seems that it is much more difficult to obtain the inheritance of Immortal Feisheng than we imagined! "

But Shangguan Jin next to him noticed more details than him.

She found that Su Xiao didn't have any depressed or lost expression on his face.

On the contrary, on his ordinary face, there was an expression of relaxation, tranquility, and even joy.

From the looks of it, he doesn't look like a loser who returned without success, but rather like a winner.

"Interesting." She thought secretly.

The fourth prince Xiao Shangzhen stood behind everyone with a gloomy expression.

Ever since he was assassinated and lost his cultivation, he had completely become an outsider—no matter how big things happened to the people in the "Shenji Camp", he had no intention of paying attention to them at all.

As for Shi Lei, the expression on his face was still as calm as ever, without any emotional fluctuations.

At this time, Chen Yanping stepped forward first, and said to Su Xiao in a joking tone: "Unexpectedly, even a character like Brother Su failed to reach the summit. Kongxuan Sanren's requirements for us juniors are really strict." It's scary!"

Su smiled expressionlessly and said, "I gave it up myself."

Give up by yourself?

What do you mean?
Chen Yanping was stunned for a moment.

"Why?" He couldn't help asking.

He never expected that someone would choose to give up voluntarily in the face of such a huge temptation of immortal inheritance!

Su Xiao replied lightly: "The Tao of Kongxuan Sanren is not suitable for me."

Hearing this, Chen Yanping was even more shocked.

If it were someone else, the words "The Way of the Immortal is not suitable for me" might just be an excuse similar to "If you can't eat grapes, say the grapes are sour".

However, in the Great Qi Dynasty, Su Xiao was known to be a very proud and straightforward person.

He never hides his failures or inadequacies, and he never speaks out of conscience for fear of offending others.

"It seems that the rumors are not wrong. Su Xiao is indeed a complete sword-crazy," Chen Yanping sighed silently in his heart, "The degree of this crazy is a bit more exaggerated than I imagined."

"Now there is only one person left on Mount Lao."

At this time, Shi Lei glanced around at the young people present, and suddenly said.

Only one person left?

Who is that person?

Everyone began to think about the identity of the only "survivor".

Due to Gu Xu's outstanding appearance, even though he has always been low-key, he still has a very high sense of presence in this group.

So everyone's minds soon had an answer.

"I didn't expect that Gu Xu would actually be the one who persisted the longest on Mount Lao." Shangguan Jin couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile.

She had high expectations for Gu Xu, thinking that he might be able to unleash amazing potential on the mountain climbing road.

And Gu Xu's performance did not disappoint her.

Chen Yanping inadvertently remembered what Shangguan Jin said to him - "Don't underestimate us, Da Qi Tianjiao".

"It turns out that the young man who doesn't show his face is the real ruthless person in the 'Shenji Camp'!" He sighed silently in his heart, "It's no wonder that the chief thinks highly of him... no wonder the father wants to Ask him to be your son-in-law..."

And "Bi Fang" Chu Wei at the back of the team looked calm, without any fluctuation in mood.

After all, in his eyes, except for him, everyone in the reserve team of the "Shenji Battalion" is a formidable figure—no matter who is the one who finally climbs to the top of the mountain, he will not be surprised.

As for Shi Lei, he smiled lightly.

He didn't say a word, but silently wished in his heart that the young man who was jealous of the heaven could reach the immortal's residence smoothly and find the opportunity to change his fate against the sky.

It is not easy to find a second such outstanding young man in this world!

…………

The last section of the mountain road is extremely steep.

The slope of most road sections is never less than fifty degrees, and some places even approach vertical.

Gu Xu had to use both hands and feet to stabilize his body on this slope.

In addition, the terrible coercion from Laoshan's prohibition weighed heavily on him again.

He felt like he was carrying a sandbag of hundreds of catties, and moved forward with a heavy load.

This time, he couldn't even use the "Jinghong Brush" to cast the spell "Wan Lai Kong Ji" to help him break the restriction and relieve the pressure.

Because he knows that when a monk advances to the eighth realm, he can rely on his own "Tao" to evolve a space of his own.

In this space, monks can formulate rules at will, just like a king who takes life and death.

Therefore, those who are strong in the eighth realm are often called "true kings".

As the saying goes, "the king does not see the king".

The principles of the "True Monarch" and above are naturally mutually exclusive.

When Gu Xu approached the fairy residence on the top of Laoshan Mountain step by step, he entered the "Taoism Realm" of Kongxuan Sanren - almost all the rules here were formulated by Kongxuan Sanren.

The rules that belong to the "Jinghong Pen" are undoubtedly excluded.

Gu Xu once learned in the book that the battle of the "true monarch" realm is no longer like a low-level monk with real swords and guns, punching to the flesh, but exists at the level of the rule field.

It sounds very abstract, but it is actually extremely destructive.

Perhaps because of this, the contemporary Emperor Daqi made very few moves after he ascended the throne.

Thinking of this, Gu Xu took a deep breath, stretched out his hand to grab a raised rock above, kicked his legs vigorously, and struggled to climb up under the pressure of Kongxuan Sanren's rules.

"His!"

The thorns beside him had torn his robes and scratched his skin, and blood dripped from the wounds, turning the gray rock a ochre.

Gu Xu was completely unaware of the pain in the wound.

He has practiced "Red Flame Truth" for a long time, and he needs to endure the pain of burning fire, and he has long been used to it.

He just looked at his robe distressedly, silently praying that the Exorcist would reimburse him for the damaged clothes.

Five feet.

ten feet.

twenty feet.

He climbed higher and higher on the steep cliff.

Below is the endless East China Sea, above is the dark and hazy night sky.

Clouds and mist floated around him, and birds circled around him.

When he climbed to a height of thirty feet, he heard a creepy barking sound.

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of spiders came out from the bushes, crawled in front of him, and blocked his way.

They are much larger than normal spiders, and the smallest ones are as big as two palms. They are colorful, have a furry abdomen, four pairs of eyes and two red fangs.

In addition, what they spit out is not silk, but clouds.

The smog that lingers on the top of Laoshan Mountain is actually woven by these spiders!
Seeing these weird spiders, Gu Xu was not surprised.

After all, in the area on the top of Laoshan Mountain, all rules are made by Kongxuan Sanren.

If Kongxuan Sanren is willing, he can even make humans grow three heads and six arms, or break the reproductive isolation between species.

Gu Xu was silent for a moment.

He knew that within the rules of the Kongxuan Sanren, his means of fighting the enemy would be largely restricted.

That being the case, breaking all obstacles with pure power may be the best choice.

Thinking of this, bright flames shot out from his fingertips, burning all over the entire cliff.

It's like the gorgeous fireworks they set off in the yard on Shi Xiaohan's birthday.

The treasure smoke is flying and the flowers are thick.

The spiders in front turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.

The dense fog that permeated the mountaintop also slowly dissipated.

At this time, the hazy night sky also became clear.

Gu Xu looked towards the direction of the sea, and saw the slightly whitish eastern sky, and the morning star hanging high in the sky.

…………

"I saw him!"

When the clouds cleared, Shangguan Jin stood at the foot of the mountain, pointing to the steep slope that Gu Xu was climbing.

Even though they are far apart - in her eyes, Gu Xu is just a slow moving black dot.

However, relying on the strong perception ability of practitioners in the fourth realm, she could easily identify Gu Xu's identity.

At the same time, she also saw the towering building on the top of the mountain—Gu Xu's figure was approaching it little by little.

"He's going to reach the top of the mountain soon!" Hearing what she said, Chen Yanping also narrowed his eyes slightly, staring intently at the cliff.

"Mr. Chen, if I'm not mistaken, the fork in the mountain road is a test of karma, the sound of cicadas in the woods is a test of the strength of consciousness, the moonlight by the sea is a test of observation, and the chopping of firewood in a pine forest is a test of your attitude towards cultivation," Shangguan said. Jin continued, "Then what do you think the last section of the mountain road will be inspected?"

"Could it be perseverance or Taoism?" Chen Yanping guessed.

"Actually, I don't know too well," Shangguan Jin smiled and shook his head, "Let's wait and see!"

Chen Yanping glanced at her indifferently.

This woman always likes to play tricks in front of him, making it impossible for people to guess her true thoughts.

And not far behind them, the Fourth Prince Xiao Shangzhen's eyes were also staring straight at the steep hillside.

He thought silently: If the person on the mountain road was not Gu Xu, but myself, would my always strict sister praise me?
…………

fifty feet.

Sixty feet.

Seventy feet.

Eighty feet.

Gu Xu continued to climb the mountain.

As he continued to move forward, a faint morning glow appeared in the eastern sky, like the blush on a girl's face when she was shy.

However, when he was still ten feet away from the top of the mountain, he suddenly stopped.

The terrifying coercion weighed heavily on him, so that even if he tried his best, he couldn't take another half step forward.

Gu Xu stopped.

He grasped the cracks in the rock with both hands, leaned against a boulder beside him, and fell into deep thought.

He knew that these coercions came from the power of rules.

He knew that since the Kongxuan Sanren set up a test in Laoshan to find successors, it was impossible for him to completely block the mountain climbing road.

He believes that as long as he thinks carefully, he will be able to find a way to break through the obstacles.

…………

"He stopped."

At this moment, Shangguan Jin spoke again.

"He's planning to give up too?" Chen Yanping asked with a slight frown.

He knew that if Gu Xu also chose to give up, then the entire "Shenji Battalion" would be wiped out here.

I don’t know that the Laoshan ruins will be opened again until the year of the monkey, giving people a chance to see its true colors.

Shangguan Jin pondered for a moment, then responded: "I think...he should just be observing."

"Observed?"

"As the Chen family, you should have known for a long time that my magical power is called 'Tian Suan'!"

"That's right." Chen Yanping nodded.

His father has told him more than once that Shangguan Jin, the exorcist doctor, has a magical spell that can calculate everything and predict moves, and this woman has a deep mind, so don't conflict with her, otherwise you may be in danger. Don't even know how he died.

"According to my observation just now, the rules of heaven and earth on the top of the mountain are different from those of the outside world," Shangguan Jin continued, "I think this may be the key to his breaking the game."

"It seems that this last part of the journey will test the ability to comprehend the rules!" Chen Yanping guessed.

"maybe!"

…………

A few minutes later, a faint smile appeared on Gu Xu's face.

"I see."

He noticed that the plants in this area all grew downwards.

He noticed that when the bird closed its wings and glides downward, it flew higher and higher.

He also noticed that the fallen leaves on the cliff did not fall down, but hung in the air, and even floated towards the top of the mountain.

Here, flying starts with falling.

If you want to move forward, you need to step back.

This is the rule of the top of Laoshan.

So, the boy opened his arms and jumped towards the East China Sea.

Confident, firm, and unhesitating.

The cold wind whistled in his ears.

The ground hit him head-on, and the whole world spread out below like a colorful tapestry.

…………

"This man...is he overthinking it?"

Xiao Shangzhen looked at Gu Xu who fell from the cliff, and couldn't help being dumbfounded.

A person as miserable as him is still alive after losing his cultivation.

He really couldn't understand why Gu Xu would suddenly choose to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff.

"Your Highness, take a closer look!" Shangguan Jin said with a smile.

Xiao Shangzhen looked in the direction she was pointing, and was shocked again.

…………

After falling to a height of more than ten feet, Gu Xu stretched his arms and flew up.

It seems that there is a pair of invisible wings embracing and drinking the long wind, leading him to fly high.

The scenery on the ground gradually shrank, and the sky above the head suddenly opened up.

Unknowingly, the rising sun jumped out of the sea.

The sea water was dyed orange red, and the sky and the earth were brightly lit.

…………

A few minutes later, Gu Xu landed steadily on the top of the mountain.

On the bank of the cliff, he admires the boundless East China Sea and thousands of rays of light.

He had a panoramic view of the entire Laoshan Mountain, and countless hills were trampled under his feet.

Vaguely, he could see the companions of the "Shenji Battalion" at the foot of the mountain—in his field of vision, they were as small as ants.

Only when you climb to the top can you "see all the small mountains at a glance".

Climbing hard all the way, you can finally witness this magnificent scenery.

Thousands of words came to my mind.

When he finally said it, it turned into two simple words.

"gorgeous."

Gu Xu smiled and turned around.

An ancient building with green tiles and flying tiles came into his eyes.

Two Taoist boys, one in black and one in white, bowed to him.

"Please come with me, Your Excellency."

…………

at the same time.

Yishui County, Exorcism Department Yamen.

When the first ray of sunlight in the morning penetrated into the window of "Mingzhi Hall", the petite girl suddenly stood up from the futon.

The thin and long eyelashes fluttered slightly in the cool wind.

The clear almond eyes reflected the fiery red sun, like autumn water with sparkling waves.

She rested her elbows on the window sill, propped her chin, her gaze drifted into the distance involuntarily, thinking of a stingy guy who likes almond tofu and healthy meals, the corners of her mouth are slightly turned up, and a pair of cute little dimples appeared on her baby-fat face .

"This heroine has passed the 'Naihe Bridge', are you all right?"
