Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 189 Fame
In the process of watching the battle, Shangguan Jin was also habitually using the magic power of "heavenly calculation" to predict the battle situation in the ring.

The battle between the two in the arena was presented in her eyes in the form of data.

However, she is not as well versed in the way of talisman seals as Gu Xu; she has only heard of unpopular martial arts such as "Evil Tiger Fist",

This caused some discrepancies between her estimated situation and the actual situation.

Because of this, Gu Xu's words amazed her.

Gu Xu doesn't have the supernatural power of "God's Fortune".

His ability to make such an accurate prediction can only show that he is well aware of the moves used by the two in the ring.

As for the identity of Qi Yan, a young man in white, Shangguan Jin was also very curious——

After all, the man looked personable and well-spoken.

Even if he discussed cultivation knowledge with an evildoer like Gu Xu, he was not completely at a disadvantage.

It is absolutely impossible for him to be an ordinary supervisor of the Imperial College.

…………

At this moment, the battle on the ring ended neatly.

Jia Xiuguang of Longmen Academy used the "Light Talisman" and "Mysterious Ice Talisman" in sequence. First, he stunned Chaozhou for a moment with a burst of strong light, and then froze him with extremely cold black ice, finally killing him. Kick out of the range of the ring railing.

The gong and drum sounded again, announcing his victory.

Since the number of talisman cultivators in the Daqi Dynasty was very scarce, his gaudy talisman seals aroused the admiration of the onlookers.

After all, the battle between sword repair and sword repair is ultimately a duel between weapons.

If the distance between them is too far, you will not be able to see all the details clearly.

But the battle of Talisman can let the audience see the black ice and fire, wind, rain, thunder and lightning.

Not to mention anything else, at least the visual effects are full.

So there was prolonged applause on both sides of the Luoshui River.

Only Gu Xu frowned slightly.

Because he felt that these talisman seals drawn by Jia Xiuguang had many flaws - if they were slightly improved, they would be more powerful.

"Master Gu seems to have something to say." Qi Yan, a young man in white, glanced at him, his eyes were as sharp as a sword, as if he could see through his thoughts, "If I remember correctly, Mr. Gu, you are also a skilled Fu Xiu, maybe you have some unique insights into this competition!"

Gu Xu thought for a while and said: "My humble opinion... If Jia Xiuguang can make some minor adjustments to the 'Xuan Ice Talisman' in his hand, its freezing duration can be extended by at least double."

Hearing his words, Qi Yan was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "Master Gu, do you know who taught Jia Xiuguang to draw the 'Xuanbing Talisman'?"

"Who?"

"It's his teacher, Fu Tao from Longmen Academy."

Gu Xu smiled awkwardly and said nothing.

He had learned that this Fu Jiaoxi from Longmen Academy was a fifth-level monk, well-known in the field of talisman and Taoism, and he could be regarded as an authoritative figure with a certain right to speak.

However, Gu Xu is now finding fault with him.

If this kind of thing is said, it will definitely cause an uproar among the Talisman Masters of the Daqi Dynasty.

…………

During the short interval between the competition in the arena, melodious and melodious singing sounded from the lamphouses on both sides of the Luoshui River——

"Riding in spring with red makeup. Stepping on the shadow of the moon, wearing poles and flags in the city. Endless sight, singing and dancing on the rooftops, learning about the fragrance and lotus steps. The sound of the flute is broken, and the colorful luan is invited to return. I am not afraid of Jinwu getting drunk..."

The person who sang is a diva from Luojing Orchestra.

At this time, Shangguan Jin smiled and introduced to Gu Xu: "This year's Shangyuan Festival is not only a competition of monks, but also a competition of literati.

"The literati on the edge of Luoshui will write lyrics based on today's scene, and then give the written lyrics to the singers in the lamphouse, and they will sing it out.

"Because of the formation, their singing will be heard by everyone around Luoshui.

"A talented literati can take advantage of this opportunity to become famous in the capital—this will be of great benefit to his future."

Speaking of this, Shangguan Jin paused for a moment, then looked into Gu Xu's eyes and said: "Gu Daoyou, as the master of 'Jinghong Pen', must be as talented in poetry as anyone else. If you are interested in this, you can also You can seize this opportunity and let everyone in Luo Jing see your talents."

Gu Xu smiled: "When you first come to the capital, it's better to keep a low profile. It's not easy for literati to stand out, and we monks should try to give them the stage that belongs to them!"

…………

After defeating Chaozhou, Jia Xiuguang of Longmen Academy temporarily became the champion.

In the next period of time, several monks followed the stairs suspended in the air one by one, climbed up the golden platform, and challenged Jia Xiuguang.

The cultivation of these monks is not high - they choose to challenge on stage, most of them are for the purpose of asking for advice on moves and gaining some fame.

With the talismans prepared in advance, Jia Xiuguang successfully defeated them without spending too much effort.

The applause by the river became more and more enthusiastic.

Jia Xiuguang's classmates in Longmen Academy were still shouting his name loudly in the audience, trying to overwhelm the sound of music and the hustle and bustle of human voices.

His plan to make Luo Jing famous seemed to be gradually realized with each victory.

However, at this moment, Jia Xiuguang suddenly faced the audience and said something unexpected:
"Actually, Jia is here today, and there is someone I really want to challenge.

"That's Mr. Gu from Qingzhou Prefecture.

"Jia once heard that Mr. Gu is not only a hero who saved tens of thousands of people in Qingzhou Prefecture, but also has attainments close to that of a master in the way of talismans.

"As a talisman cultivator, I very much hope to have the opportunity to ask Mr. Gu for advice in person. If Mr. Gu happens to be here today and hears my words, I hope you can give me your advice."

There was an uproar on both sides of the Luoshui River.

In the past few days, although Gu Xu has been shutting himself up in the headquarters of the Exorcism Department to practice and has never shown his face in Luojing City, there are legends about him everywhere in Luojing City.

Luo Jing people are full of admiration and curiosity for this young monk who dared to face the "violent god".

They started to inquire about Gu Xu's past everywhere, learned about the amazing things Gu Xu had done, and also heard a lot of news that was true and false, and the more outrageous the more it spread——

For example, Gu Xu is the reincarnation of a god, for example, Gu Xu is a saint who hides his strength, for example, Gu Xu is an apprentice secretly accepted by the national teacher...

At this moment, Jia Xiuguang's words undoubtedly aroused everyone's expectations.

They began to shout the name "Gu Xu" in unison.

They all wanted to see Gu Xu's appearance on the stage, and wanted to see what this legendary figure looked like, whether he had three heads and six arms.

Seeing such a scene, Qi Yan, a young man in white clothes, took a meaningful look at Gu Xu: "Master Gu, it seems that people from Longmen Academy want to test your strength."

Gu Xu was expressionless: "But I have never provoked anyone from Longmen Academy..."

Qi Yan smiled faintly: "I heard from the gossip that because your talisman and seal skills are so proficient, someone suggested that you go to Longmen Academy to teach students how to draw talismans. But the teachers of Longmen Academy think that you are too young and not qualified enough, so they have been teaching you how to draw talismans. Very repulsed by this arrangement.”

Before Gu Xu could respond, Shi Xiaohan on the other side held the "Kun Wu Dao" and cursed: "Gu Xu, this bastard is so arrogant! This heroine will go up and deal with him for you!"

PS: I still overestimated my codeword speed, almost QAQ all night asking for double monthly tickets!
