Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 182 Reverberation
Gu Xu pondered for a moment, then continued to speak softly: "Xiaohan, I just talked about some things with Mr. Chief Si. The flood in Yishui County has receded, and Mrs. Chen and Wang Yang are still alive. In the next few months Here, I should stay in Luojing City as an official. Compared with Yishui, there are more abundant cultivation resources here, which will allow me to practice faster...

"At the beginning, after you were in a coma, I successfully broke through the third realm and possessed my own supernatural powers. With the help of my supernatural powers, I told the outside world about the situation in Qingzhou Prefecture. When the saints were about to arrive, Kongxuan Sanren He was so frightened that he ran away... the way he looked at that time was really embarrassing..."

Gu Xu talked about many things on his own, like chatting about family matters.

Shi Xiaohan narrowed his eyes and listened carefully.

It has to be said that Gu Xu successfully aroused her curiosity.

She really wanted to see what he looked like at the moment, wanted to know what his supernatural power was, and also wanted to know what kind of reward he had received in this incident.

She began to hesitate to open her eyes.

At this moment, Gu Xu mentioned the thing that worried her the most.

"...As for my longevity issue, you don't have to worry too much. The chief minister himself said that my cultivation talent is unprecedented. You see, it took me less than a year to advance to the second realm, and it took me three Breaking through the third realm in a month, maybe in a few years, I will be able to transcend the ordinary and become a saint. Xiaohan, you have to work hard and practice, but don't be too far away from me..."

Before Gu Xu finished speaking, Shi Xiaohan suddenly opened his eyes and glared at him angrily: "Gu Xu, do you think I'm so easy to deceive? My father has said more than once that the higher the level of cultivation, the higher the level of improvement." The more difficult it is. After the third level, not only pills are needed, but also understanding. Like my father, he has been stuck at the peak of the fourth level for almost six years..."

Having said that, her voice stopped abruptly, and her baby-fat little face was instantly stained with a blush.

It's really hard to pretend to sleep.

Accidentally broke the success.

It's all the fault of Gu Xu, the big villain!

She immediately pulled up the quilt to cover half of her head, only revealing a pair of big apricot-like eyes.

Seeing her like this, Gu Xu couldn't help laughing.

The young girl at this moment looked soft and glutinous, and seemed to exude a sweet breath, which made him feel an urge to bully her.

However, the cuter this girl is, the more complicated Gu Xu's mood becomes.

On the one hand, Shi Xiaohan, as the daughter of an official family, married is inevitable.She used to tiptoe to adjust his turban, watched fireworks with him in the courtyard of Shi's mansion in Yishui County, and fought desperately with Kongxuan Sanren for him like a mantis holding a car.If she became someone else's wife in the future, he would feel very sad.

But on the other hand, there are too many unknowns in his life.Not only is there worry about longevity, but he is also involved in karma with dangerous things such as Kongxuan Sanren, Qingzhou Lu Clan, the Emperor's Secret, and Feisheng's deception.It is difficult for him to bring her a happy and stable future.

At this moment, Gu Xu, a virgin of two lifetimes, stands at the fork in the road between rationality and sensibility, worrying about gains and losses.

He has read [-] classics, but there is never a book that teaches him how to do this kind of thing.

"After all, it's because I'm not strong enough..." He thought of what the white-haired boy on the "Naihe Bridge" said, and sighed silently in his heart.

After pondering for a few seconds, he explained to Shi Xiaohan: "That's because your father, as a thousand household in Laizhou Prefecture, is very busy with work on weekdays and doesn't have much time to practice. And I will be able to officially enter the school in a few months. I'm in the 'Divine Machine Camp' - not only can I cultivate wholeheartedly, but also the saints will answer my questions. By then, no bottleneck will be able to hinder my pace of becoming stronger."

"Don't brag..." Shi Xiaohan said in a muffled voice under the quilt.

"My lord, my cultivation is about to surpass yours, aren't you panicking at all?" Gu Xu smiled slightly, and took the opportunity to change the subject, "You used to overwhelm me on the merit list for so long, now it's your turn I turned over and became the master."

Shi Xiaohan frowned slightly, and wanted to sit up straight, but because the movement was too big and the wound was pulled, he groaned in pain.

"You have a good idea!" She muttered, "Even if I am an exorcist in Luojing City, I still want to be at the top of the merit list! I don't want to be crushed by you!"

"Then, please take good care of your wounds, Mrs. Xia, and don't move around." Gu Xu stretched out his hand to hold her shoulders, and pushed her back on the bed. "It will be the Lantern Festival in a few days. The Chief Chief told me that the Lantern Festival in Luojing City The night scenery is extremely beautiful. If your injury heals quickly, then you can go to the edge of Luoshui to watch the lanterns."

Shi Xiaohan looked at his handsome profile and saw that the sun had coated his hair with a dazzling golden halo, so he couldn't help but silently prayed to God to heal this damn injury quickly.

…………

After half an hour, Gu Xu left the room.

Shi Xiaohan lay on the bed, silently watching his back disappear at the door.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to ask Gu Xu what his magical power was just now.

This annoyed her immensely.

Just when she felt empty in her heart, Shangguan Jin straightened her dress and sat down on the rattan chair next to her bed again.

"Still thinking about him?"

"Not really..." Shi Xiaohan still grabbed the edge of the quilt with both hands, and hid half of his face under the quilt.

"Tell me about your past stories, sister Xiaohan," Shangguan Jin leaned his arms on the side of the bed, resting his chin with his hands, and looked at her with a smile, "I have heard people say that Gu Xu was in your Yishui Xian is also a very powerful person who has done many incredible things."

"Of course," Shi Xiaohan responded without hesitation, his eyes inadvertently revealing a proud emotion, "Can you believe it? That guy Gu Xu read all the books in our Library Pavilion just once. He memorized it verbatim. When other officials encountered problems they didn't understand in terms of practice, they didn't bother to read the book, and they all ran to ask Gu Xu. They all called him the 'Living Library Pavilion'.

"Another time, when Gu Xu and I went to a rich man's mansion to execute a ghost-killing mission, we met a ghost named 'Painted Skin'. The ghost could not only transform into a human form, but also take the form of a human. The name casts a strange spell on the medium. When Gu Xu saw it, he had changed his name to 'Xiao Changshou'. I thought he was too cautious at the time, but I didn't expect him to have seen through the tricks of the Painted Skin Ghost..."

Speaking of this, Shi Xiaohan paused for a while, his nose was a little sore.

At this moment, she finally understood why Gu Xu would choose his alias as "Longevity"——

If he doesn't become a saint, he can only live to be 30 years old.Therefore, "longevity" is undoubtedly what he desires most, and it is the deepest obsession in his heart.

It's just that Shi Xiaohan didn't know how to help him other than giving him more pills.

This made her feel a strong sense of powerlessness deep in her heart.

"Then he is indeed very powerful." Shangguan Jin gently held her small hand protruding from the edge of the quilt, "like that guy Chu Fengge, who calls himself a 'peerless genius' and 'the number one genius in Daqi' all day long." , I feel that I am very great, and no one is his opponent. But in fact, he can't even recognize the basic characteristics of all kinds of ghosts. In comparison, I still admire Gu Xu's knowledgeable, low-key and Tianfuyuan. The young monks who have saved tens of thousands of people in Qingzhou Prefecture without making a sound. I don’t think anyone of the same age can do this kind of thing.”

Shi Xiaohan gave an "um" and nodded, and at the same time, he also clenched Shangguan Jin's long and slender hand, feeling a little more intimate with him.

For Shi Xiaohan, as long as he praises Gu Xu in front of her, he is her good friend.

"By the way, sister Xiaohan," Shangguan Jin paused for a moment, then continued, "Just now I heard you and Gu Xu talking about the Lantern Festival, which is a very grand event in Luojing City. On that day, I can talk to you Shall we join together?"

"But I don't know if my wound will heal..."

"Don't worry. Sister Xiaohan, you may not know that I, Shangguan Jin, am the most powerful doctor in the entire headquarters of the Exorcism Division. With me taking care of you, I will ensure that you can not only get out of bed on Lantern Festival, but also jump around like a bunny. "

"Of course you can! Mr. Shangguan, thank you so much!" Shi Xiaohan gave Shangguan Jin a grateful look.

As a girl with a lively and active temperament, this kind of days when she can't get out of bed is simply a terrible torture for her.

I only heard Shangguan Jin continue to popularize science to her: "In the coming spring, the five-yearly 'Luoshui Conference' will be held in Luojing City. At that time, monks from all over the country will gather together to discuss The emperor and saints will also come to select talents for this country on a large scale.

"Because of this, this year's Lantern Festival will be much more grand than ever. In addition to traditional activities such as watching lanterns, guessing lantern riddles, lion dancing, and walking on stilts, the royal family of Daqi will also build a ring on the edge of Luoshui. All passing Young monks under the age of 25 can go up to the ring to challenge.

"The person who successfully defends the ring until midnight will become the final winner and will be rewarded with a lot of money and pills.

"The residents of Luojing regard this Lantern Festival as the prelude and weathervane of the 'Luoshui Conference'. They can take this opportunity to get to know the young talents of the Daqi Dynasty. And the winners in the arena are often able to Achieved good results in the official 'Luoshui Conference'.

"I guess, the reason why Chief Luo suggested Gu Xu to go and see the scenery of the Lantern Festival is because he hoped that he would take this opportunity to show off his skills in front of the people of Luojing.

"In addition, the literati in the capital will also gather on the banks of the Luoshui River to recite poems and write poems to cheer them up.

"Sister Xiaohan, we should have a good show then."

After listening to her introduction carefully, Shi Xiaohan was instantly full of anticipation for the upcoming Lantern Festival Eve.

"Master Shangguan, I have a question."

"You say it."

"Then the group arena on Lantern Festival night... can I also participate?"

"Of course!" Shangguan Jin replied with a smile, "Any young monk under the age of 25 from the Great Qi Dynasty, regardless of realm or origin, can take the stage to challenge.

"It's just that I didn't expect that a petite and cute girl like Sister Xiaohan would be interested in fighting on stage."

"I'm just interested in the rewards of the group arena," Shi Xiaohan pouted, and said, "That guy Gu Xu is not interested in anything else, except money and pills. I want to be the final winner The reward is won, and then given to him as a gift."

"Sister Xiaohan, you really care about Gu Xu!"

"After all, he is the one covered by this heroine." Shi Xiaohan turned up the corner of his mouth, revealing two small white canine teeth, "It's just that he has broken through the third realm now, his wings are hardened, and he wants to ride on top of this heroine Playing prestige. Heh, this heroine will not let him succeed!

"On this Lantern Festival night, I want him to take a good look at how powerful this heroine is!"

…………

Gu Xu has to admit that staying with that girl Shi Xiaohan is like sucking cats, it is an addictive thing.

But the words of the white-haired boy——

"Only by becoming stronger can you protect the people you care about."

But it kept echoing in his mind.

So, he no longer yearned for the girl's sweet scent, but began to look for the location of the warehouse in the courtyard of the headquarters of the Exorcist Division.

He wants to exchange pills, he wants to practice, and he wants to become stronger.

At this time, a fat young man in his twenties, wearing a black "Qi Yao suit" came to him.

"May I ask that you are Mr. Gu from Yishui County?" The chubby young man bowed his hands respectfully to Gu Xu.

"I'm right here," Gu Xu nodded slightly, and said politely, "May I ask who you are?"

"My surname is 'Qu' and my name is 'Jing Long'. I am in the position of 'Detective' at the headquarters of the Exorcism Division. According to the instructions of the head of the department, I will assist Mr. Gu to familiarize myself with the affairs of the Luojing City Exorcism Division in the near future," Weibo said. With a flattering smile on the face of the fat young man, he responded, "It's a great honor to work with a legendary figure like Mr. Gu who saved tens of thousands of people in Qingzhou Prefecture by himself. Many colleagues are very grateful for this I can't ask for an errand.

"If Mr. Gu needs me to do anything, just call me. I will definitely take care of Mr. Gu well."

Gu Xu took a serious look at him, and silently complained in his heart: Are all the officials in Luojing like this?

"Brother Qu, do you know where the warehouse of the headquarters of the Exorcist Division is?" He took the opportunity to ask Qu Jinglong in front of him.

"Master Gu, don't call me Brother Qu, just call me Xiao Qu. I can't bear the word 'Brother'." Qu Jinglong shook his head repeatedly, then pointed his index finger at the hanging flower gate at the end of the courtyard, "The storehouse is right there. Not far behind that door. Mr. Gu, please come with me."

After finishing speaking, Qu Jinglong took the lead and walked towards the warehouse.
