Chapter XXXVII

Outside the illusion, the yamen lobby.

Chu Fengge looked at the picture on the "Old Pot" intently, and his mood was extremely complicated.

It's too fast.

It's just too fast.

Although Chu Fengge had long been mentally prepared for Gu Xu's outrageous talent......

But Gu Xu was able to take Ma Qin and successfully clear the customs from the Taoyuan Fantasy Realm in less than an hour, which was still far beyond his expectations.

Gu Xu's two ghost-killing talismans, one unexpectedly burned the ghosts all over the house, and the other killed the dream-eating tapir in an instant, all of which left a very deep impression on Chu Fengge.

Others may be amazed by Gu Xu's exaggerated talisman attainments.

But what alerted Chu Fengge was Gu Xu's flexible mind and eclectic way of fighting-

Everything around him, including plates, drinks, and even the people around him, can be used by Gu Xu and become his weapon.

And Gu Xu never sticks to the old ways.

The "Taishang Arctic Town Demon Slaying Talisman" that has been passed down from generation to generation has long been modified beyond recognition by him.

The solemn "Please God Mantra" was also adapted by him at will.

He even whimsically engraved the "Defilement Rune" in his sea of consciousness.

It can be said that in terms of cultivation, Gu Xu is a person who has no scruples and no rules at all.

Chu Fengge didn't dare to imagine how terrifying an existence a person like Gu Xu would become if he grew up in the future and reached the real battlefield of life and death.

In addition, Gu Xu had another point that made Chu Fengge feel jealous-

"How can this kid come up with so many arrogant and energetic lines in battle?" Chu Fengge thought angrily, "This kind of line should be said by this official!" ”

For example, "This home-away restaurant will no longer exist", such as "The stage has been built...... When Chu Fengge imitated Gu Xu's calm and indifferent tone and silently recited these words, he felt that he was simply handsome.

Of course, Chu Fengge is a proud person - second-hand lines, no matter how good they are, he doesn't bother to use them.

He planned to ask his subordinates to help him think of some domineering words to use in battle.

A single line of poetry is clearly not enough.

Gu Xu, this kid will definitely be his fierce rival in the future, but he must not lose to him in momentum.

…………

At this moment, the attendant Xu San suddenly came to Chu Fengge's side and said to him cautiously: "Lord Chu, since Gu Xu and Ma Qin have passed the assessment, should we let them come out of the 'Wen Old Pot'?" ”

Hearing this, Chu Fengge finally came back to his senses from his contemplation.

Only then did he remember that the two candidates' divine senses were still trapped in the pot illusion at the moment.

So Chu Fengge immediately recited the mantra and terminated the assessment.

The picture on the body of the "old pot" gradually dimmed, and then disappeared, turning back to its original pure white and clear appearance.

And Gu Xu and Ma Qin, who were sitting cross-legged in the corner of the hall, also slowly opened their eyes, as if they had woken up from a big dream.

Since they had just experienced a vicious battle in the "Old Pot", they all looked a little mentally exhausted at this time.

"Congratulations on passing the test of the Taoyuan Illusion," Chu Fengge said expressionlessly, "Go outside the lobby and wait for the results." ”

"Yes, sir." The two responded.

Despite the fateful moment approaching, both candidates were in a very calm mood.

If Gu Xu's calmness stems from self-confidence.

Then Ma Qin's calm state of mind stems from the fact that he has already chosen to lie down.

Ma Qin secretly decided that after the assessment results came out, he would go to the inn as soon as possible to check out, and then take a carriage to secretly return to Qingzhou Mansion and return to his original mediocre little official.

Although the competition for positions in Qingzhou is fierce, it is difficult to get ahead.

But he felt that if he stayed in Yishui County for a long time, sooner or later he would be made to doubt his life by Gu Xu, the demon.

…………

Exorcism Division Headquarters, Stargazing Observatory.

After the assessment, the picture on the bronze mirror also disappeared.

"Hibiscus, bring a pen and inkstone."

Si Leader Luo Chuan was silent for a moment, and then instructed Shangguan Jin beside him.

"Yes, sir."

Shangguan Jin immediately got up, and soon took pen, ink, paper, and inkstone for Luo Chuan, and then knelt down at the low table to polish the ink for him.

Afterwards, Luo Chuan picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and began to write assessment comments for Gu Xu and Ma Qin.

According to the past practice of the Exorcism Division, when a candidate official participates in the promotion assessment, the chief examiner or other high-level officials will write comments to them as an important reference for future personnel arrangements.

Under normal circumstances, such a trivial thing would not have been Luo Chuan's turn to do it himself.

However, when Luo Chuan wanted to do it himself on a whim, no one in the entire Exorcism Division could stop him.

He first wrote his comments about Machin on a piece of snow-white rice paper:

"More than steady, not enough flexible; more than diligent, less talented; can be a minister, but it is difficult to be alone. However, he is gentle and frugal, and he is kind and good, and he is not ashamed of his teacher. If cultivated properly, it may be able to benefit the people. ”

Shangguan Jin silently watched him write a comment from the side.

Although this comment writes about both the advantages and disadvantages of Machin.

But Shangguan Jin is familiar with Luo Chuan's character and knows that this Luo Si leader never praises people easily - in his writing, this passage can be regarded as a high evaluation.

With the head of the department writing a commentary, Ma Qin's body is equivalent to a layer of gold, and his career in the exorcism division will become much smoother in the future, and he will become the envy of many people.

Of course, Shangguan Jin also knew very well that it was because of Gu Xu's existence that Luo Sishou would pay attention to an inconspicuous little person like Ma Qin.

Subsequently, Luo Chuan took out another piece of rice paper and prepared to write Gu Xu's comments.

This time he pondered for a long time, and did not start writing for a long time.

A lot of words passed through his head, but he didn't think they were appropriate.

A few minutes later, he sighed lightly, and finally slowly put down his pen and wrote down his evaluation of Gu Xu:

"Keen and studious, brilliant and insightful, not afraid of danger, not falling into the trap. If you don't die halfway, you will become the pillar of the building. ”

When she saw this comment, Shangguan Jin couldn't believe her eyes.

Such highly praised words...... Was it really written by the head of the department himself?

This is not like the usual performance of the head of the division!

You must know that even a talented young man like herself and Chu Fengge failed to get such a high evaluation back then, but was pointed out by Luo Sitou with an extremely strict attitude.

This Gu Xu ...... What is so special about it that makes the head of the department change his nature?

Could it be that Lord Si Shou used the Heavenly Machine Technique to foresee Gu Xu's promising future?

Shangguan Jin only felt incredible.

At this moment, a guard hurried up the stairs to the stargazing platform, put a stack of papers on the table, and then bowed to Luo Chuan, saying:

"Tell the head of the department, the ink scroll you sent to the palace has already been read by Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoning. Here's the feedback she wrote. ”
