Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 78 Reasons for not being able to refuse

"Master Si Shou really looks down on you," Chu Fengge raised the teacup and took a sip of the hot tea, with a clear jealousy in his eyes, "He thinks that you will become the most critical person in the Lu family's murder case. The person who broke the game - you must know that as a sage who is aloof, Sir Si Shou seldom gives such a positive evaluation to others."

"However, Lord Chu, many people of higher realm than me have not been able to solve this case," Gu Xu lowered his head and said humbly, "I really don't know how capable I am, but Lord Meng Sishou. so important."

Chu Fengge said indifferently, "Because based on the existing information, we know that this case cannot be solved by brute force—wisdom is much more important than force in that strange haunted house."

Hearing this, Gu Xu couldn't help but complained in his heart: It turns out that this Lu family's haunted house is a copy that needs to be solved!It's no wonder that this gifted Master Chu didn't pass the customs smoothly at the beginning - he doesn't seem to be very smart.

But this simple reason obviously could not convince Gu Xu.

"This Lu family's haunted house can make so many monks unable to do anything, there must be 'evil spirit' level ghosts in it, and there may be more than one," Gu Xu continued, "With my current cultivation level, in case they suddenly attack , I have absolutely no ability to protect myself. I'm still young, and I don't want to die there in vain."

Chu Fengge chuckled: "Master Si Shou has long guessed that you would say this. In terms of ensuring your safety, he has already made adequate preparations for you.

"First of all, I will enter the haunted house with you, be your assistant and bodyguard, and deal with all the ghosts who want to hurt you. If you have an accident inside, I will be punished by the Chief Secretary."

Chu Fengge's words sounded a bit strange.

It is obvious that he is not very willing to do this.

Gu Xu raised his head and glanced at Chu Fengge, still feeling insecure in his heart.

He felt that the bodyguard was unreliable at all.

"Second," Chu Fengge paused for a moment, took out a lustrous and shiny transparent bead from his pocket, handed it to Gu Xu's hand, and said at the same time, "This bead is called 'Breakthrough Bead'. ', is a very precious life-saving magic weapon specially prepared for you by Lord Si Shou. When your life is in danger, you only need to crush it, and you can instantly travel through the void and escape to anyone within a thousand miles. Where you want to go. Even if you are trapped in the enemy's formation, or the enemy uses a spell to block the space, the 'Breakout Orb' will still work."

The last time Chu Fengge escaped from the Lu family's haunted house, he used a "Breakthrough Pearl".

It's just that he didn't want to mention this embarrassing thing in front of Gu Xu.

Gu Xu took the beads, and finally had a little confidence in his heart.

"Master Chu, please be sure to convey my thanks to Master Si Shou for me," he said sincerely, and then he changed the subject and continued to say in a worried tone, "But I am still a little worried now. In the past missions, I have encountered some ghosts and monsters with control-type abilities - some can make people dizzy instantly, some can make people imprisoned in place, and some can even turn people into puppets, do what they want.

"I'm very scared. If I encounter this type of ghost, I won't even have a chance to crush the 'Breakout Orb', so I can only wait to die silently."

Chu Fengge once heard Lord Si Shou say that Gu Xu's style of doing things has always been very cautious - without full certainty, he will never act lightly.

It's just that he didn't expect that Gu Xu would worry about so many details.

"Master Si Shou has long considered this," Chu Fengge said, while taking out a black jade bracelet from his pocket and handing it to Gu Xu, "The name of this bracelet is 'substitute bracelet' .It can resist a fatal attack from the outside world for its owner, and at the same time can remove all negative effects and control on the owner. As long as this magic weapon is there, you will definitely have the opportunity to crush the 'Breakout Orb' to escape."

What a good thing!

Gu Xu took the "substitute bracelet" and sighed in his heart.

"Besides that," Chu Fengge continued, "Master Si Shou will also rely on the Heavenly Mystery Technique and through your 'magic machine token' to keep an eye on your situation. If these magic weapons still can't save you, He will come from Luojing himself to keep you safe."

Hearing this, Gu Xu couldn't help being stunned for a second.

At this moment, he simply doubted that he might be the illegitimate child left behind by Lord Si Shou.

"Master Si Shou...he thought about it too carefully," he sighed from the bottom of his heart, "I can't imagine that a monk with a low cultivation like me could be so loved by Master Si Shou..."

"Master Si Shou said that you have the resources of a saint," Chu Fengge said with a blank expression, "What he is helping you now is just an investment in you. He hopes that you can grow up as soon as possible and share his worries in the future. "

"As a cultivator of the Exorcism Division, it is my duty to share the worries of the Chief Secretary."

Although the balance in his heart was slightly tilted, Gu Xu was still hesitating.

"In addition, Lord Si Shou also mentioned that the case of Lu's murdered house is a disaster for others, but it is an opportunity for you," Chu Fengge continued, "The ancestors of the Lu family entered the Dao with poetry and painting, and soared into Immortal. Part of the inheritance he left behind, including the Lu family's family heirloom 'Jinghongbi', is still in the abandoned mansion, waiting for the arrival of the destined person.

"If you read through the classics, you should know that the 'Jinghong Pen' has the ability to embody the imagery of poetry and painting and use it as a means of killing. Using it to draw talismans can also make your talisman formidable to a higher level."

"However, Mr. Chu, I remember that it was mentioned in the book that after the Qingzhou Lu family was raided, all the property was returned to the state treasury—"

"—That's just worldly possessions," Chu Fengge interrupted him, "The 'Jinghong Pen' is one of the 'Twelve Famous Tools', it has its own spirituality and can choose its own owner-even if it is Qingzhou The members of the Lu family must also be recognized by it in order to exert its power. If it does not want to be found, then it will hide itself, and no one can find it.

"Its previous owner was Lu Shiyao, the so-called 'Fairy Su Xue'. After Lu Shiyao's death, it disappeared.

"Master Si Shou thinks you can try your luck."

Hearing this, Gu Xu sighed softly and remained silent.

At this moment, he is quickly calculating the profit and loss in his mind, calculating his input-output ratio in this case——

Input:

1. A lot of time (if it is used for cultivation, it may allow me to break through to "The Third Song of Huangquan", or even "The Fourth Song of Huangquan"...);

2. A certain degree of risk;

3. Due to the historical sensitivity of Lu Huan's treason, if I participate in this case, there is a certain probability that I will be involved in the power whirlpool of the Daqi Dynasty, which is not in line with my wretched development plan;
……

reward:

1. A lot of merit;
2. A high-grade spell;
3. The favor of Mr. Si Shou;
4. May become the owner of Jinghong Pen (very small probability);

……

Seeing that he was reluctant to make up his mind, Chu Fengge couldn't help frowning.

"Actually, Lord Si Shou also mentioned that there is a reason for you to let go of all your concerns and willingly carry out this task."

"What reason?" Gu Xu raised his head and looked at him.

"Chen Jisheng, Governor of the Exorcism Division, Yishui, previously trespassed into the restricted area of ​​Yishan Mountain, and unfortunately fell under the 'Frost Erosion' curse of Snow Maiden," Chu Fengge said in a calm tone, "This curse will be in his meridians. If it continues to work for a long time, with the passage of time, his true essence will gradually solidify, causing him to stop moving forward in future cultivation, or even go backwards;

"It also has a large negative impact on his health, causing him to suffer physical and mental torture for a long time and reducing his life expectancy.

"Master Si Shou said that the 'Frost Melting' technique that can break the 'Frost Erosion' curse is hidden in the Lu family's haunted house—"

"—Master Chu, why didn't you say something so important earlier?" Gu Xu suddenly stood up and interrupted him, "Let's go quickly, don't waste any more time."

"Leaving now? Where are you going?" Seeing Gu Xu's sudden 180-degree reversal in attitude, Chu Fengge's mind froze for a moment.

"Lu's haunted house."
