Chapter Twenty-Six: Hot
Gu Xu didn't know that the heirloom treasure of the Exorcism Division, Tianyan Stone, died early because of him.
He didn't even know that in tomorrow's actual combat assessment, he would face a very targeted and difficult test set by the head of Luo Si himself.
Tonight, Gu Xu just wanted to cultivate quietly.
Shi Xiaohan once gave him fifteen bottles of Meditation Pill at one time.
Therefore, in the short term, his cultivation time would no longer be limited due to the lack of pills.
Now, Gu Xu has stood at the peak of the first realm [Ghost Gate Pass].
It is only one foot away from the second realm [Huangquan Road].
The majestic True Yuan was already surging and boiling in his body.
What he is waiting for now is an opportunity that will come naturally.
The night soon passed again.
There were three more Meditation Pills in Gu Xu's porcelain bottle.
…………
It was late in the late autumn daylight.
When Chu Fengge walked out of the gate of the official post, Yishui County was still dark.
At this moment, his blue nose and swollen eyes, miserable face has completely recovered to its original state, and he has become the noble son with a delicate face, red lips and white teeth again.
In the Great Wilderness, after the talented monk was promoted to the third realm [Nai He Bridge], there was a certain probability of awakening a kind of natal supernatural power.
Chu Fengge's original awakened supernatural power was called "Wild Grass".
The "weed" supernatural power makes Chu Fengge have extremely strong vitality and self-healing ability - no matter how many injuries he has suffered, as long as there is still a breath left, he can recover in a relatively short period of time without healing.
In short, it has rough skin and thick flesh, and it is very resistant to beating.
This is undoubtedly an important capital for Chu Fengge to dare to act arrogantly on weekdays.
It's just that now, Chu Fengge's mood is very unhappy.
The reason is simple.
On the one hand, he went to the Lu family's murderous mansion yesterday with great interest, originally planning to kill demons and use it to make a name for himself.
However, he didn't even see the ghost's appearance clearly, and he was beaten severely; If he hadn't used the life-saving magic weapon given to him by the head of the division in time, I am afraid that he would have died in that murderous mansion.
On the other hand, Lord Si Shou asked Shangguan Jin to summon him last night, telling him, "That young man named Gu Xu is far above you, and his cultivation will surpass you in three years at the latest."
Chu Fengge was simply angry!
He has always boasted of being "proud of the first day of Daqi", thinking that he is amazingly talented, and he will definitely look down on the world and be invincible in the future.
If someone else said it, he would just take it as a fart.
It's a pity that this sentence was said by the head of the department.
As we all know, Luo Chuan, the head of the exorcist division, is best at the spell of heavenly deduction - his eyes as deep as an ancient well can always see the unknown future.
So Chu Fengge panicked.
In his concept, if you can't become the first in the world, then what's the point of living?
He decided that he would personally go to Yishui Yamen today to see how much of a threat Gu Xu, who had attracted the attention of the head of the department, to his status as the number one in the world in the future.
"Let's go!" Chu Fengge stood on the stone steps with his hands behind his back and his head held high, and commanded the entourage behind him in an indifferent tone.
"Yes, sir." Xu San and Wang Wu trembled and bowed their heads in response.
At this time, Xu San and Wang Wu's faces showed smiles for the rest of their lives-
It's great that Lord Chu didn't cut off our heads!
…………
At the same time, Gu Xu also came to the Yamen of the Exorcism Division early.
Maybe it's because yesterday's vision of the Heavenly Rock was too loud.
There are many more people watching the lively crowd today than yesterday.
Not only the monks and officials of the Exorcism Division gathered here, but even the officials of the county yamen across the street, such as the county magistrate, such as the screaming Zhou Sectarian, all put down their work and rushed to watch.
In their opinion, the little official named Gu Xu of the Exorcism Division had obviously attracted the attention of the bigwigs in the capital.
If nothing else, it will be able to rely on the east wind to go straight to the clouds.
If they can take advantage of the current situation to have a good relationship with Gu Xu, let Gu Xu go to the capital in front of the big people in the capital to say a few good words for them in the future...... Maybe they will also get the opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune.
"Mr. Gu, I haven't seen you for a few days, and your demeanor is better than before!" As soon as he saw Gu Xu, Zhou Jiaoyu stepped forward to greet him with a smile on his face, "When the county school was haunted that night, I felt that Mr. Gu was not a thing in the pool. Now it seems that it is really a blockbuster. ”
"Mr. Zhou has won the prize." Gu Xu smiled humbly.
This Zhou Jiao is worthy of being a cultural person who has been admitted to the examination - as long as he is not scared by ghosts and screams, his words are really good.
Seeing that Gu Xu was talking and laughing with Zhou Jiaoyu, Jiang Xianling next to him was not to be outdone, and immediately came over and said: "Since Zhou Jiaoyu came back from the haunted county school that day, he has been talking about Mr. Gu's name every day, saying that Mr. Gu is a young hero he has never seen before. Ben Guan thought he was exaggerating before. But when we met today, I found that Mr. Gu was really young and promising, and he was a talent. ”
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Gu Xu shook his head again and again, unreserved.
Subsequently, Master Luo of the county yamen also squeezed in front of Gu Xu with difficulty from the crowd one after another, and said with a smile: "Dare to ask Mr. Gu if he has ever been married?" There is a daughter in the official's family, who just died half a month ago, and she was born as beautiful as a flower. If Mr. Gu doesn't dislike it, maybe he can consider it. ”
Gu Xu glanced at the roe deer's appearance in Master Luo's book, and thought to himself that if this guy's daughter was really as beautiful as a flower, then the top of his head should have been green for a long time.
However, Gu Xu is busy cultivating now.
He has no interest in talking about marriage as a waste of time.
Just when Gu Xu was about to find an excuse to refuse, Shi Xiaohan suddenly appeared beside him, pulled his sleeve and left the encirclement of the county officials, and relieved him.
"This official has important things to discuss with him." In a majestic tone, she left behind a simple and crude explanation.
"Please feel free to do so." The officials bowed their heads and said.
For Shi Xiaohan, who is not only strong but also has a deep background, they dare not have the slightest slackness in their attitude.
So, Shi Xiaohan easily took Gu Xu to a corner of the inner courtyard where no one was disturbed.
As if by magic, she took out a food box from her sleeve, handed it to Gu Xu with a smile, and said to him:
"Gu Xu, this is the breakfast prepared for you today - crystal dumplings, golden spring rolls and eight-treasure rice cakes, which symbolize 'fortune and treasure', 'golden ten thousand taels' and 'rising every year' respectively.
"Today's assessment, you must also work hard!"
"Lord Shi has an order, how dare you disobey?" The corners of Gu Xu's mouth turned up slightly, and he took the food box from her hand.
The first rays of the morning sun fell on his handsome side face, making his smile shine brightly.
