Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 183 Luojing Scenery
Gu Xu followed Qu Jinglong to the warehouse of the headquarters of the Exorcist Division.

From the outside, this warehouse looks much more grand than the one in Yishui County.

Not only does it cover an area several times larger.

And outside its gate, there are more than ten steles neatly arranged.

Gu Xu casually glanced at the words on the stone tablet, and saw high-grade spells and martial arts such as "Tai'a Sword Art", "Lightning Thunder Jue", "Cloud Sea Galaxy Sword", "Jade Rainbow Piercing the Sun", "Meteor Walking the Moon" and so on.

And the exchange price of these things is also frighteningly high, and the lowest one requires tens of thousands of merits.

Compared with the "Gui Yuan Jue", "Lightning Whip" and "Dog Beating Stick Method" in Yishui County, which can be exchanged for only [-] meritorious deeds, it is a world of difference.

Gu Xu stood where he was, silent for two seconds.

His mood at the moment is like a person who is used to buying things in a cheap mall and suddenly enters a luxury store.

"Master Gu, when you are in the third realm, you will be able to smash the conspiracy of the Kongxuan Sanren and make an incomparable achievement," Qu Jinglong stood beside Gu Xu, and continued to flatter him with a smile, "According to my humble opinion, I'm afraid that in a few years, all the high-grade spells on these stone tablets will be yours."

Gu Xu smiled, but did not speak.

He knew that the more high-grade spells, the better.

It contains the true meaning of the founder.

Just like what Luo Sishou once wrote - "The one that suits you is the most powerful."

Only in line with the founder's philosophy can the maximum power of top-grade spells be brought into play.

But today Gu Xu's purpose is very simple.

He only intends to exchange for one thing - "Duedan".

Just like the monks in the first realm need the "Tranquility Pill", the monks in the second realm need the "Eternal Brightness Pill".

Third-level monks also need to use "Du Er Dan" in the process of cultivation, in order to stabilize their minds and prevent their souls from being eroded by evil spirits.

Of course, its price is also more expensive than "Jingxin Pill" and "Changming Pill".

720 meritorious deeds per bottle, nine pills per bottle.

However, at this moment, Gu Xu was surprised to find that he suddenly had [-] more meritorious service in name than before.

"Master Gu, these [-] meritorious deeds are the rewards you got for stopping Kongxuan Sanren's promotion plan and rescuing the people of Qingzhou Prefecture." The small official guarding the warehouse opened the file and quickly explained, "This morning , will be recorded on your name by Mr. Chief himself."

The archives of the headquarters of the Exorcism Department recording meritorious deeds is a magic weapon jointly created by Chief Luo and guest Qing He Yiqun.

It is engraved with a magic circle of heavenly secrets, which not only records the number of meritorious deeds of all exorcist monks in the Daqi Dynasty, but also can be updated and synchronized in real time.

Gu Xu lowered his head and glanced at the files, only to feel that the surprise came too suddenly.

He has never been richer than he is today.

You know, he only got [-] meritorious service rewards for solving the Lu family's haunted house case - it sounds like a lot, but after exchanging ten bottles of "Eternal Brightness Pill", there is not much left.

But now the [-] meritorious deeds can be exchanged for hundreds of bottles of "Du Er Dan", which is enough for him to use for a long time.

"The chief executive is really generous this time!" Gu Xu sighed softly.

"Master Gu saved all the people from the fire and water this time, which is a great merit!" Qu Jinglong next to him continued to compliment with a smile, "In my opinion, no matter what kind of reward you get, even if it is to worship a general and become a marquis, No exaggeration."

Gu Xu suddenly wanted this guy to shut up.

Afterwards, he exchanged ten bottles of "Duedan" from the clerk who guarded the warehouse, and stuffed them into "Xianyunju".

While deciphering the karma spell of Kongxuan Sanren, Luo Sishou 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 asked the little official again if there were any powerful magic weapons in the warehouse of the headquarters of the Exorcism Division.

As we all know, after a monk breaks through the fourth realm [Wangxiang Terrace], he can choose a magic weapon of his own destiny and keep it warm in his dantian.

The monk can directly control the talisman with his mind, or use it to fly.And the rank of the natal magic weapon will also continue to increase with the growth of the monks' cultivation.

It is like an extended part 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 talisman.

Although he already has the famous "Jinghong Pen" 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 was hidden in it.

Because Gu Xu aspires to become a saint, he can only learn from other people's "Tao" a little, but he must not accept it completely.

His natal object must completely belong to himself and be used to implement his own "Tao".

"Master Gu, you don't have to worry too much about your natal objects." 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 and choose a magic weapon as a reward." The things in the royal treasury are more valuable than those in the exorcism treasurer's room.

"People like Mr. Gu are dragons and phoenixes, of course you have to use the best magic weapon. You might as well wait until then to make a choice."

"Won the first prize at the 'Luoshui Conference'..." Gu Xu glanced at Qu Jinglong, and smiled slightly, "You have so much confidence in me?"

"Mr. Gu is a talent of the heavens. His talent and courage are far superior to those of his peers. He can confront ghosts at the level of 'fierce gods' head-on at a young age," Qu Jinglong said solemnly, "People like you can't win the championship, who else can What about winning the championship?"

Gu Xu suddenly didn't know what to say to him.

…………

Because Gu Xu doesn't have his own mansion in the capital, he is temporarily living in the headquarters of the Exorcism Division.

The headquarters of the Exorcist Division is located on a hill in the northwest suburb of Luojing City. You can look up at the starry sky when you look up, and overlook the Xiongcheng City when you look down.

Its scale is not small, and there are pavilions, terraces, pavilions, exotic flowers and plants, rockery pools within the walls.

Luo Sishou specially prepared a two-story small building for Gu Xu as a temporary residence.

This small building faces the pond and is surrounded by mountains and rocks. There are plants such as winter jasmine, crabapple, hibiscus, chrysanthemum, wintersweet and other plants around it, and the fragrance of flowers is permeating throughout the year.

So it was named "Qingxiang Pavilion".

Under normal circumstances, this "Qingxiang Pavilion" is prepared for distinguished guests, such as relatives of the emperor, leaders of sects and so on.

Because of this, Gu Xu's stay attracted the surprise and envy of many monks from the Exorcism Division.

"This young man is just a monk in the third realm, why can he live in the 'Qingxiang Pavilion'?" Some people were puzzled by the arrangement of the chief executive.

"Because he killed a ghost at the level of a 'fierce god' and rescued thousands of people in Qingzhou Prefecture by himself," someone immediately explained, "If you can do this kind of thing, you can do it too." I can live in."

"A third-level cultivator can kill the 'fierce god' by himself? Don't fool me."

"I didn't fool you. This Lord Gu is the new owner of the 'Jinghong Pen'. The 'Jinghong Pen' is one of the twelve famous utensils in the wilderness, and it was once the natal magic weapon of Immortal Feisheng. It is so powerful that I shouldn't need it." Explain."

"Oh, so it's the owner of the famous utensil! That's fine."

"Also, I heard from others that this Mr. Gu has also successfully practiced the extremely difficult spell "Seven Forms of Burning Heaven". Mr. Chief has always been full of praise for his comprehension."

"Hey, this person has looks, understanding, and a famous weapon...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 always become more and more exaggerated in word of mouth.

He ignored the words.

After bidding farewell to Qu Jinglong, he walked into the "Qingxiang Pavilion" and closed the door.

So the whole world is quiet.

At this moment, Gu Xu was standing next to the window on the second floor of "Qingxiang Pavilion", and he could just see the whole Luojing city.

The sparkling Luoshui passes through the city like a blue and blue smooth silk.

On both sides of the river, there are row upon row of houses and criss-cross streets, as orderly as a checkerboard grid.

The wide "Sky Street" runs through the north and south, and the streets are full of people and traffic.

At the end of the "Sky Street", there is the Zichen Palace, the solemn and magnificent residence of Emperor Daqi.

Looking from a distance, you can see its red walls and golden tiles complement each other, shining brightly under the sun.

It seems to be an emperor wearing a yellow robe and a crown on his head, standing in the most conspicuous place of Luojing City; the houses with blue bricks and gray tiles next to him are like its subjects, bowing down and worshiping in front of it. .

"Under the glamorous appearance of Emperor Tianxing, what kind of secret is hidden? Not only did Kongxuan Sanren deeply fear it, but also caused the entire family of the Lu family in Qingzhou to lose their lives?"

Looking at the heavily guarded palace, Gu Xu couldn't help but have such thoughts in his heart.

…………

After a while, Gu Xu sat cross-legged on the bamboo mat next to the window, took out the small porcelain bottle, took a "Du Er Dan", closed his eyes, and quickly entered the state of cultivation.

His consciousness came to the dark and lightless nether world again, and he continued to move forward along the road leading to the depths of the underworld.

The flowers on the other side of the River of Forgetfulness have all withered.

The sound of the waves of the river gradually faded away.

The road under his feet became narrower and more rugged.

And in front of him, a steep hill appeared.

On the top of the hill, there is a high platform with high ying and curved columns, majestic and majestic.Surrounded by mist, it seems to tower over the 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 yangworld from afar on the "Wangxiang Terrace".

There is a poem that goes: "Looking at the ghosts and panic on the hometown stage, watching the eyes and tears. The wives, children, old and young are nestled in the coffin, and relatives and friends gather together in the mourning hall."

This is the scenario described.

As long as you board the "Wangxiang Terrace", you can become a monk in the fourth realm.

However, the road to "Wangxiangtai" is very difficult and dangerous.

There is only one stone path leading to the top of the hill, with a total of 99 steps.

On both sides of it, there are mountains of swords and trees, and the mournful wailing of ghosts can be heard.

"Only by becoming stronger can we fundamentally solve the problem."

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

"I will wait for you on the 'Wangxiang Terrace'."

The words of the white-haired boy echoed in Gu Xu's mind again.

Gu Xu took a deep breath and stepped up the ancient stone steps.

Level one, level two, level three, level four...

Suddenly, the cries of the ghost turned into a huge wave of spirit, rushing towards him.

Gu Xu's body shook and he almost fell to the ground.

However, the medicinal effect of "Duedan" quickly turned into an invisible force, which supported his body, stabilized his steps, and made his consciousness clearer.

Fifth grade, sixth grade, seventh grade...

He looked determined and continued to climb.

The sun gradually set in the west, the sky gradually dimmed, and the bustling crowds on the streets of Luojing City also gradually dispersed.

Only Gu Xu's true energy aura gradually rose unconsciously.

…………

Yishui County, Exorcism Department Yamen.

Three days after the flood receded, Chen Jisheng finally woke up in the duty room.

A gust of cool wind blows head-on, carrying a damp fishy smell.

He slowly opened his eyes, and saw the little official Wang Yang standing beside him at a glance.

"Master Chen, you finally woke up!" Wang Yang smiled in surprise.In his eyes, there were obvious red bloodshots.

Chen Jisheng frowned slightly as he looked at this quiet and intact value room.

"Wang Yang, do you know where the 'Nine Baby Snake Demon' went?"

"It was re-sealed by the national teacher."

"What about the flood?"

"It's gone."

"What about the people trapped in the flood?"

"Some people died unfortunately, but most of them survived," Wang Yang replied, "Now, the headquarters of the Exorcism Division has dispatched many practitioners to help us rebuild after the disaster, and their lives have gradually returned to normal .”

"So it was the sage who saved us!" Chen Jisheng was thoughtful.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of a serious question: "Then where are Gu Xu and Shi Xiaohan now? Are they still alive?"

"They are still alive and well in Luojing City."

While talking, Wang Yang brought a document from the table next to him.

"Master Chen, this is the latest report from the Daqi court. According to the official statement of the court, the breaking of the 'Nine Infant Snake Demon' this time is actually a conspiracy of the legendary 'Third Fierce God'—the 'Nine Infant Snake Demon'." In order to be promoted to the 'Ghost King', the Three Fierce Gods wanted to use the power of the 'Nine Baby Snake Demon' to obtain one hundred thousand living souls as sacrifices.

"Gu Xu is a major contributor to this incident. If he hadn't stopped the 'Third Fierce God' plan in time, I'm afraid the entire Qingzhou Prefecture would be devastated."

Having said that, Wang Yang paused for a while, then took out two envelopes from his pocket.

"Master Chen, these two letters are sent to you from Luojing City. One is written by Gu Xu, and the other is written by Mr. Shangguan, a doctor in the headquarters of the Exorcism Division."

"Show them all to me!" Chen Jisheng ordered lightly.

What Wang Yang said sounds too outrageous.

Chen Jisheng couldn't believe it was true without seeing the black and white words with his own eyes.
