"I've seen Lord Chu!" Under the leadership of Chen Jisheng, the officials of Yishui County bowed their hands and bowed.

Chu Fengge held his head high and said "um" casually, which was regarded as a return gift.

His indifferent and arrogant expression, coupled with a bright and compelling face, has a feeling of loneliness as a master.

"Gu Xu, Ma Qin, are you there?" I only heard him say in a cold tone.

"Humble duty." Gu Xu and Ma Qin stepped forward together.

Chu Fengge glanced at the two of them casually - a middle-aged man with a face full of vicissitudes, a young man who had not dried up, and he didn't seem to be out of the ordinary, I really didn't know why Lord Si Shou valued them so much.

So he waved his hand casually, called the two entourages to his side, and ordered: "Xu San, Wang Wu, this official has important things to do, and the next assessment will be arranged by you." ”

"Business as usual?" The attendant asked.

"Business as usual." Chu Fengge said lightly.

As he said before, two low-level ants competing for an insignificant nine-rank official position were not worthy of his personal attention at all.

He would rather spend his time on something more meaningful.

For example, try to deal with a few notorious ghosts, so that his reputation as a "peerless wizard" and "the first sword cultivator in the world" will resound throughout the Great Qi Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Chu Fengge stood with his hands in his hands and asked Chen Jisheng in a relaxed and casual tone, "Do you know what the strongest ghost near Yishui County is?" ”

Chen Jisheng was a little confused, and he didn't know why Chu Fengge asked him such a question.

But he still replied respectfully: "Tell your lord, she is one of the 'three fierce gods of Jiaodong', the Snow Girl of Yishan." ”

Hearing the word "fierce god", Chu Fengge suddenly felt a little stunned.

Although he has always been arrogant and narcissistic, he is not stupid, and he knows that the "fierce god" level evil ghosts can only be solved by a master like the head of the division or the Great Qi National Master.

He went alone to fight alone, undoubtedly giving the snow girl a head.

However, he still looked calm, and then asked, "And where is the second strongest demon?" ”

"On the outskirts of Qingzhou Mansion, the Lu family's murderous mansion," Chen Jisheng replied, "this murderous mansion is uninhabited, but it makes strange noises—during the day there will be the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras, and at night there will be the sound of ghosts crying and howling wolves." So far, none of the monks sent by the Qingzhou Mansion Exorcism Division to investigate the situation have survived. ”

Chu Fengge thought to himself silently: This doesn't sound as terrifying as a fierce god-level demon, maybe I can try it. As long as I can solve this big case, I will be able to stabilize my title of "the first person of the younger generation" - what Sword Pavilion Su Xiao, what Youzhou Zhao Yan, and Shangguan Jin's stinky girl, they will no longer be able to catch up with me. Anyway, I have a talisman given by the head of the division, and I can escape if I can't beat it.

I saw him chuckle and said, "I, Chu Fengge, have been slaying demons for nearly ten years, and I really haven't been afraid of any ghosts. What others dare not do, I will do. This Lu family's murderous mansion, leave it to me to solve! ”

"Lord Chu is righteous! Admire under it! Ma Chin immediately slapped a sycophant.

Then, Chu Fengge raised his head to look at the sky and shouted:

"Here comes the sword!"

An exquisitely shaped sword flew in response and hovered beside him.

Chu Fengge jumped lightly, stepped on the flying sword with both feet, and then went away against the wind, disappearing into the sky in the blink of an eye.

Everyone present looked up at the appearance of his sword flying, and their hearts were full of envy and yearning.

The master of the fourth realm is really terrifying!

Besides, this Lord Chu looks like he is in his twenties at most - he can enter the fourth realm at such a young age, and his achievements in the future are limitless!

Maybe in a few years, the Great Qi Dynasty will have another top powerhouse like the emperor, the national teacher, and the head of the department.

…………

Even though the examiner is not doing his job, today's promotion assessment will still be held as usual.

The first thing to do is to examine the theoretical knowledge.

Because there were only two people participating in the promotion assessment, everything was simple and no special venue was arranged.

It was simply two desks and two chairs in the lobby of the yamen, which looked lonely in the empty room.

All the idle people, including Chen Jisheng and Shi Xiaohan and others, were kicked out of the lobby.

In the lobby, only a few of Gu Xu, Ma Qin, and Chu Fengge's entourage who stayed behind to be in charge of the invigilation were left.

Ma Qin sat in one of the chairs, grinding his ink stiffly as he tried to recall in his mind the experience of killing ghosts.

But because he was so nervous, he only felt that his mind was blank - he couldn't remember anything of the many points he had reviewed repeatedly last night.

Inadvertently, he couldn't help but turn his head and sneak a glance at Gu Xu next to him.

The kid had already polished his ink, and was leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed, looking leisurely and comfortable, and he didn't seem to be flustered at all.

This made Machin's psychological pressure even greater.

A quarter of an hour later, the bell rang.

The attendants distributed the rolls made of oilcloth to the hands of the two men.

The two of them each opened the paper bag, took out the question paper from it, and looked through it silently, but they were not allowed to put pen to paper.

There was silence in the lobby, except for the rustle of the leaves outside the window.

Gu Xu opened his eyes and began to browse the question papers casually.

For him, who has the talent of [erudite and strong memory], the theory test itself is one of his most confident links.

The dense text on the question paper did not make him restless, but rather made his demeanor more relaxed.

You're in control.

When the bell rang for the second time, the two began to pick up their pens and answer questions.

"You have a stick of incense." The invigilator's entourage said in a cold tone.

Hearing this, Ma Qin's heart chuckled, and he was inevitably a little anxious.

The time for a stick of incense is about half an hour.

It took him half an hour to finish the nine-page question paper, which was not a small task for him.

He froze his mind, flipped the back two pages of the paper, and decided to pick the simple questions first in the limited time.

But Gu Xu was not in a hurry, and still read the question carefully from the beginning step by step.

Anyway, in his opinion, every question is about the same difficulty.

The first question of the ink paper is as follows:

"Please describe the characteristics and weaknesses of the cat."

Gu Xu thought for two seconds, picked up his pen and wrist, and carefully wrote down the answer: "Mao Rongpo is shaped like a cat-headed old woman, a 'wild ghost' level, feeds on young children, and has a third eye on the top of her head, which can be killed by poking it blind." ”

Then he looked at the second question:

"What is Hitomito?"

He thought for a moment and wrote, "A monster turned into a monster by the eyes of a man. ”

Question 3: "Please indicate the origin of the ghost 'Mengshuang'." ”

Gu Xu replied: "In ancient times, there were siblings who got married, were exiled to Kongtong, and died embracing each other. His body was nourished by Yin Qi, and seven years later he was born in the same body, turning into a demon with two heads, four hands and four legs, named 'Mengshuang'. ”

Question 4: "Name three ways to break the immortality of ghosts." ”

Gu Xu replied: "The true yuan fire of the monk; Metals with scorching properties; A special sigil that can borrow the power of the sun, moon and stars. ”

……

Read more than 10,000 volumes, and write like a god.

Gu Xu's colleagues often said that Gu Xu had a library in his head—there was very little knowledge he didn't know when it came to cultivating and dealing with ghosts.

But when doing the question, Gu Xu felt that his brain was more like a search engine.

As long as you type in the question and "swish", the answer will emerge naturally, and there is no need to think about it deliberately.

So his mood became more and more relaxed.

With the sound of rain outside the window, the tip of his pen began to dance on the white paper, outlining a stretch of elegant block letters.

Just like he draws symbols on weekdays, freehand, casual, and free-spirited.
