"This kid's rune talent is so terrifying, when he grows up, will he become a rune master like the Great Qi National Master?" Ma Qin couldn't help but think to himself.

The national teacher is the head of all the saints of Daqi, and is famous for his amazing attainments; But when the national teacher was young, he didn't seem to be as exaggerated as Gu Xu is now.

But no matter what, there is one thing that Ma Qin can be 100% sure of - that is, Gu Xu, this kid will definitely have a bright future in the future.

Machin is now almost thirty-five years old.

He has long given up the unrealistic delusions of his youth, and has clearly recognized that he is just an ordinary person with mediocre talents.

In this life, he can be a petty official with eight or nine grades, and he is already satisfied.

However, if he can have a good relationship with Gu Xu, a strong man in the future, and when Gu Xu becomes a high-level member of the Great Qi Exorcism Division in the future, maybe he can take him with him and let him eat and drink spicy food.

Therefore, for Gu Xu just deliberately playing tricks on himself......

Ma Qin said: I, Ma Qin, am a magnanimous person! This kind of little thing, Lao Tzu endured it!

…………

Afterwards, Gu Xu and Ma Qin walked out of the messy restaurant together.

At this time, the "residents" of the entire Taoyuan Town seemed to have realized the arrival of two uninvited guests.

With brooms, hammers, kitchen knives, feather dusters, tree branches and other weapons in their hands, they came to the streets of the town one after another, looking at Gu Xu and Ma Qin with hostile eyes, giving people a chilling feeling.

Although Ma Qin's combat effectiveness has been greatly enhanced after possessing the "Goose Wing Knife", he still feels a little nervous in the face of such a large number of ghosts.

"Brother Gu, do we have to ...... these residents No, all the ghosts and monsters are solved, so they can be considered to have passed the assessment? He couldn't help but ask Gu Xu beside him.

"Of course," Gu Xu replied lightly, "my spell can only last for half an hour. After half an hour, the knife in your hand will return to its original form. Brother Ma, you have to hurry. ”

"But there are too many of them...... Ma Qin wanted to complain a few words, but thinking that the big man from the capital was still paying attention to his performance outside the illusion, he finally reached out and wiped the egg whites stuck to his face, and choked all these complaints back into his stomach.

"Come on! Brother Ma! Gu Xu smiled and gave Ma Qin a cheering gesture, "The great mission of saving the residents of Taoyuan Town from the sea of suffering is on your shoulders!" ”

"What about you?" Machin asked with a frown.

"As a First Realm cultivator who is depleted of True Yuan and is weak and helpless, I will support you spiritually!" Gu Xu said solemnly, with no intention of stepping forward to help at all.

"You're stressing me out!"

Ma Qin glanced at him helplessly, repeatedly told himself in his heart, "I, Ma Qin, am a magnanimous person", and then carried the "goose wing knife" in his hand, and rushed into the encirclement of the ghosts.

The ghost fire flickered, and the sword light was cold;

The evil aura is pervasive, and the bones are flying.

…………

Gu Xu's true yuan was almost completely exhausted at this time.

He could only stand still, watching Machin fight his way through the goblin pile.

Inadvertently, he looked up and looked at the sun hanging high in the sky.

At this time, a long time had passed since they first entered Taoyuan Town.

But during this time, the position of the sun has not moved at all.

"There's something weird about this place."

Looking at the unrealistically beautiful scenery around him, as well as the ghosts that surrounded Ma Qin, Gu Xu couldn't help frowning slightly.

In case of indecision, divination is the first.

Thinking of this, he took out three copper coins from his pocket, which he had picked up from the restaurant just now, and tossed them in the palm of his hand six times in a row, trying to use the "Six Hexagram Method" for divination.

The result is "the upper and the lower the earth", which is the hexagram of "heaven and earth".

"No" means "blocked".

The meaning of this hexagram is that the gap between heaven and earth cannot be sympathetic, and all things cannot be suffocated.

Then, Gu Xu took out the jade talisman that Chu Fengge gave him from his pocket, stared at the line of words engraved on it - "All appearances are false", and fell into deep thought.

…………

Luojing.

Exorcism Division Headquarters, Stargazing Observatory.

"He seems to have sensed the secrets of Taoyuan Town."

After a long silence, the head Luo Chuan suddenly pointed to Gu Xu's figure in the bronze mirror and spoke.

Shangguan Jin immediately looked in the direction he was pointing.

I saw Gu Xu playing with three copper coins in the palm of his hand and tossing them six times in a row.

Then he took out the jade talisman again and stared at it for a long time, but he didn't make any action.

It looks like "everyone in the world is drunk and I am sober".

At this time, Luo Sishou smiled and teased: "Xiao Jin, if I remember correctly, the speed at which he noticed the abnormality seems to have broken your record back then. ”

"There are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people," Hearing this, Shangguan Jin was not annoyed, but bowed his head slightly and said respectfully, "He can break my record because I am not strong enough." I'll just work harder in the future. ”

Luo Chuan glanced at her lightly: "I hope you can always maintain this mentality in the future." ”

…………

Minutes and seconds passed.

Ma Chin shuttled through the pile of ghosts, and he no longer knew how many knives he had swung and how many enemies he had killed.

As a monk of the second realm [Huangquan Road], Ma Qin's true yuan is undoubtedly much thicker than Gu Xu's.

If the True Yuan of the First Realm Monk is compared to a pool of stagnant water, then the True Yuan of the Second Realm Monk is like a surging river. Even though the wheel war with the goblins continued, Machin did not feel exhausted.

But this battle did not bring much sense of accomplishment to Machin.

Because compared to Gu Xu's crisp and neat "fireworks" just now, he felt that his way of dealing with ghosts was too grinding - at least in terms of visual effects, there was no demeanor that a second realm monk should have.

"Alas, after this assessment, I have to work hard to do more tasks," Ma Qin secretly planned in his mind, "Strive to save enough merits and exchange a copy of the Overlord Sword Technique—by that time, I will be able to cut ghosts like vegetables." ”

Two quarters of an hour passed.

The demons of this neighborhood have long since fallen to the ground like straw.

Then, under the scorching fire of Maqin Zhenyuan, it turned into black ashes.

And Machin himself became embarrassed.

In addition to the egg whites that were pasted on his face before, his skin was now blue and purple, and there were a lot of dirty blood stains.

Although Ma Qin was a second-realm monk with strong combat effectiveness, it was impossible for him to completely dodge attacks from all directions in hand-to-hand combat with many ghosts.

There will always be brooms, baskets, and feather dusters that pop up out of nowhere...... Suddenly it fell on him.

He looked up and glanced at Gu Xu, who was standing in the peach tree and meditating-

I saw that this kid was still fluttering in green clothes, unstained with dust, and looked like a fairy who did not eat fireworks in the world.

Suddenly, Ma Qin was full of jealousy for the talismans who only needed long-distance output and did not need close combat.
