Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 231 The Reward of Luo Si's Head
Hearing Luo Chuan's words, Chu Fengge nodded slightly, and responded: "Thanks to the teachings of Mr. Si Shou in the past."

He didn't look happy.

Logically speaking, comprehending new martial arts moves is something worth celebrating.But Chu Fengge didn't want to admit it even if he was beaten to death. It was Gu Xu's words that made him suddenly understand the true meaning of "Xiaoying and Wanyue".

Luo Chuan saw all of Chu Fengge's little thoughts.

He smiled and said, "I've told you many times before that if you want to master high-grade martial arts, you can't just practice hard. Many times, you should not be ashamed to ask others for advice."

Chu Fengge lowered his head and stopped talking.

He originally thought that after being promoted to the fifth level, he would be able to hold down Gu Xu steadily, and would no longer be overshadowed by the opponent's light.But he didn't expect that even if he was two realms ahead of Gu Xu, he was still just a green leaf.

At this time, Luo Chuan waved his hand, conjured a scroll out of thin air, put it on the wooden table, and pushed it in front of Chu Fengge.

"As I said earlier, if you can successfully complete today's trial, I will give each of you a reward," he said, "Chu Fengge, this scroll is for you."

Chu Fengge took the scroll.

The moment his fingers touched the scroll, a stream of information suddenly flowed into his mind along his nerves.

So he knew that this scroll was a spell called "Rage".

It can stimulate a monk's physical potential in a short period of time, improve the purity of his true essence, and temporarily increase his combat effectiveness, and even have a chance to defeat enemies with higher realms.

But its side effects are also obvious-during the duration of the "rage", the monk's true energy will be quickly overdrawn; and after its effect ends, the monk will become extremely weak, and even leave serious damage in his body. Hidden danger.

Because of this, ordinary monks rarely use it unless they are cornered.

But Chu Fengge has the talent of "wild grass", which can quickly repair his body and restore his true energy. As long as he can't be beaten to death, he will be alive and kicking after a while.

Naturally, the negative impact of "rage" on him will be reduced to an extremely low level.

Chu Fengge sincerely thanked Luo Sishou.

The thing that made him feel most aggrieved in the "Warming Pot" today was being trapped in the dark swamp by the "Lord Yelang". save face.

"When I learn this 'Furious Rage', maybe I will be able to fight a 'fierce god' level ghost like 'Lord Yelang'!" Chu Fengge thought full of expectation.

His temperament has always been to heal the scar and forget the pain.When he held the scroll firmly in the palm of his hand, he suddenly felt full of confidence that he would be number one in the world in the future.

Afterwards, Luo Chuan conjured a yellowed booklet out of thin air and placed it in front of Shangguan Jin.

"Little Jin, I know that you have been very interested in the art of witchcraft in the wild land of southern Xinjiang recently," he said, "All I know about it is recorded in this booklet. I hope it will be helpful to you." You can help."

"Thank you sir!" Shangguan Jin thanked politely with a smile on his face.

Unlike Chu Fengge, who focuses on improving his strength, Shangguan Jin likes to understand and learn all kinds of fancy spells and fighting skills.

Others think that she is a skilled swordsman, but she is the most brilliant doctor in the headquarters of the Exorcism Division; others think that she is a doctor who saves lives and heals the wounded, but she knows all kinds of poisons and can kill people invisible.

In addition, she has a general understanding of talismans, elixirs, refining tools, witchcraft and other related knowledge.

If we say that Chu Fengge is a warrior in the competitive arena, he is keen on fair battles, and he is determined to defeat all opponents in an upright manner, so that his reputation will spread throughout the country.He has always sneered at methods like poison and the like.

Then Shangguan Jin is like a killer hiding in the dark—she has no obsession with fame, and she never cares whether her actions are fair or not.As long as she can achieve her goal, she can use any means.

Before, when she accompanied Gu Xu to the courtyard in Zhengpingfang, the "heart voodoo" hidden in the sea of ​​knowledge of the owner of the courtyard, businessman Yang Changfu, left a very deep impression on her.

It can not only affect a person's thoughts subtly, but also can be controlled remotely to fight the enemy on a spiritual level.

In addition to "Heart Gu", she had also heard of the existence of mysterious and terrifying Gu insects such as "Insanity Gu", "Lice Gu", and "Stone Gu" in the southern border of the Great Qi Dynasty.Some of them will drive people crazy, some will devour people's internal organs, and some will change a person's character unconsciously.

"If I master these voodoo techniques, then I will have one more way to deal with powerful enemies in the future." Shangguan Jin put the booklet in his arms, thinking silently.

…………

Gu Xu sat quietly at the side, watching Shangguan Jin and Chu Fengge happily accept their rewards.

He was very curious at this time, what would the chief executive give him—a brand new spell?Or help him settle the arrears for buying a house, as he expected before?

However, the chief executive suddenly changed the subject at this time.

"Can you see that the trials in the 'Warming Pot' this time are a little different from the previous ones?" He looked at the three people in front of him and asked with a smile.

"The goal of this trial is not to kill a powerful ghost, but to find out the truth of a case," Shangguan Jin thought for a while and replied, "Our real enemy is not a ghost, but a person .”

Luo Si nodded first: "That's right."

At the same time, he waved his hand lightly, and an exquisite white jade teapot and four small cups appeared out of nowhere on the low wooden table.The teapot is filled with hot tea, exuding a faint fragrance, permeating the entire small attic.

He picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea for Gu Xu first, and poured the second cup for himself.

Chu Fengge stared expectantly at the movements of Luo Sishou's hands, thinking that he would have the opportunity to taste the tea poured by Mr. Sishou himself today.

Unexpectedly, Luo Chuan put the teapot back on the table, and said calmly: "If you want to drink tea, do it yourself."

Chu Fengge's expression froze immediately.

As for Shangguan Jin, he glanced at Gu Xu enviously, thinking: Is this the kind of treatment only a genius who has played badly with the "Tianyan Stone" can get?

Luo Chuan picked up the teacup, took a sip of the fragrant tea, and said calmly: "In the cognition of most of the Daqi Dynasty, the relationship between humans and ghosts is just like cats and mice. An old enemy that coexists. Ghosts hunt and eat humans in order to fill their stomachs, and humans embark on the road of practice in order to survive and fight.

"Either you die or I live."

"I think so too." Chu Fengge interjected.

Luo Chuan ignored him.

He paused for a moment, and then said: "However, you should also know that there are many human races and ghosts, and there are many strong people. The human race has His Majesty the Emperor, there are 'Five Sages', ghosts also have Kongxuan Sanren, and there are 'Mang' Mountain Ghost King'... It is almost impossible to completely eliminate the opponent.

"In addition, unlike beasts, humans and ghosts are intelligent species.

"Ghosts at the level of 'evil spirits' and above possess wisdom no less than that of humans. They can lie, use all kinds of spells, and play tricks...even because of their long lifespan, sometimes even humans' All wise men are ashamed of themselves.

"I think, maybe it's because these two groups are too smart, so it's hard to completely twist into a whole.

"The flock will only follow the leader, and the bees will only obey the orders of the queen bee... But humans and ghosts are different. Intelligent races like this have too many ideas of their own.

"They will kill each other in order to survive, and they will also fight in their own dens for resources, for interests, etc. When their internal conflicts exceed external conflicts, they may choose to cooperate with their natural enemies, thus creating a new era in the ethnic group. fight for their own interests.

"So, through this trial of the 'Warming Pot', I hope you can understand that this world is not black and white. It is much more complicated than you imagined.

"Sometimes, we not only need to beware of ghosts, but also need to beware of our own kind."

The three of them silently listened to Luo Sishou's words, and nodded in unison.

But their thoughts are different.

What Chu Fengge thought was: as long as I am strong enough to become the number one in the world in the future, neither ghosts nor my own race can pose a threat to me.

What Gu Xu thinks is: No matter what you do in the future, be cautious, cautious, and more cautious.

What Shangguan Jin thinks is: I want to master more means, strive to see all directions, listen to all directions, and gain insights into the minds of the people around me.Before others try to harm me, I will act first.

A short silence followed.

The sun gradually climbed to the zenith.

Sunlight shines in from the south window through the window lattice, and the spots of light falling on the ground move slowly, becoming brighter and more dazzling.

After a while, Luo Sishou said to Chu Fengge and Shangguan Jin: "Go and do your own business first! I still have some important things to discuss with Gu Xu alone."
