Early the next morning, Chu Fengge's attendant Xu San came to Gu Xu's residence with a thick book.

Gu Xu invited Xu San to sit in the main house of the courtyard, and instructed the little scholar on the mural to pour him a cup of hot tea.

"Master Gu, this is the catalog of all the mid-grade martial arts and spells in the treasure house of the Capital Headquarters of the Exorcism Division," Xu San pointed to the thick book in his hand and said, "You can pick the one you want, and the capital will send it to you soon." ”

Since Gu Xu put on the "Qiyao Suit" and put on the black gauze hat, Xu San's attitude towards him has undoubtedly changed dramatically.

Previously, the two of them were both officials, and Xu San could rely on the identity of the examiner's entourage to instruct Gu Xu, a young junior, at will.

But now, Gu Xu has not only become an eight-grade experience, but also received the attention of the head of the department - this means that as long as there are no accidents, the future of this seventeen-year-old boy will be bright.

Because of this, when talking to Gu Xu now, Xu San no longer dared to slack off in the slightest in words and etiquette.

He even pointed to the little scholar next to him who was serving tea and pouring water, and complimented him with a smile: "Master Gu's talisman attainments are really extraordinary!" Xu never expected that one day he would be able to see the almost lost spell of 'Eye-Catching Spirit' in the hands of Master Gu! ”

"Eye-catching spirit" is an extremely unpopular talisman technique.

Legend has it that a painter painted four dragons on the wall, but didn't have any eyes – the artist said that if you add eyes, the dragons will fly away.

The onlookers didn't believe it, and they wanted to ask him to add eyes to the dragon.

So, the painter drew intricate runes on the dragon's eyes.

At this moment, lightning and thunder thundered, shattering the wall, and the four dragons rode the clouds into the sky and disappeared without a trace.

This is the origin of the art of "eye-catching".

Hearing Xu San's words, Gu Xu said modestly: "The carving insect skill is not worth mentioning. And to tell the truth, this scholar's brain has not been very good. ”

"Bad brains?"

"Two months ago, I scolded him for being a 'fool,'" Gu Xu explained with a smile, "and after that, he took the word 'fool' as his name." ”

"Sure enough, it's a fool." Xu San couldn't help laughing.

Then, Gu Xu opened the thick book and began to look for the spell he wanted.

Because of the existence of the talent of [Erudite and Strong], Gu Xu reads books very fast.

With a casual glance, he could memorize an entire page in his head.

So, Xu San next to him saw Gu Xu flipping through the book quickly, and in less than five minutes, he saw the thick book from beginning to end.

"This guy is so fast at flipping through books, can he really read the contents of the book?"

Xu San frowned slightly.

He felt that Gu Xu was probably pretending to be and didn't know how to pretend to understand.

"Master Gu, if there is something you don't understand, I can explain it for you," Xu San said politely, "I have also guarded the treasure house of the Exorcism Division's capital headquarters before, and I may be able to recommend some good spells for you." ”

However, at this time, Gu Xu suddenly spoke: "I have chosen." ”

Picked so quickly?

You can't just choose blindly with your eyes closed, right?

Gu Xu's words obviously surprised Xu San.

"Master Gu, what did you choose?"

"Medium-grade Divine Mind Spell, Eclipse." Gu Xu replied lightly.

Although there were hundreds of different martial arts and spells recorded in this thick catalogue, it was not difficult for Gu Xu to choose.

First of all, he ruled out swordsmanship, swordsmanship, fist and other moves that required hand-to-hand combat.

The reason is simple - with his fragile body, if he is forced to fight the enemy in close combat, then death is not far away.

He then ruled out the art of the runes.

Because most of the runic seal techniques in this booklet are not as simple and crude as the improved "ghost killing talisman", and the power is powerful.

Then, he ruled out curse-type spells.

Because this kind of spell requires a lot of time to recite the incantation, and the effect is not direct and fast enough, it cannot achieve the purpose of helping him out of trouble in times of crisis.

Eventually, after some careful consideration, he decided to choose a divine thought-type spell.

When he was in the illusion of the "Ancient Pot" before, the Dream-Eating Tapir's divine sense attack left a very deep impression on Gu Xu.

This kind of spell does not need to chant a spell, does not need to be charged, and can be triggered with a single movement of the mind, which can be described as a galloping attack, which is impossible to prevent, and the enemy has no time to react at all.

Under that sudden attack, if it weren't for Gu Xu's divine soul strength far exceeding that of ordinary people, and he carved thirty "defilement runes" in the sea of consciousness in advance, I am afraid that he would have been occupied by the dream-eating tapir and turned into a walking corpse.

And the effect of the spell "Eclipse" is very similar to the divine attack of the Dream Eater Tapir.

If the spirits of each person or ghost are compared to a scorching and burning sun, then "Eclipse" is like a tengu eating the sun, causing this round of sun to be extinguished in an instant.

…………

Gu Xu's choice obviously surprised Xu San again.

"Master Gu, are you sure you want to choose this spell?" Xu San narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing suspicion in his tone, "You may not understand, Divine Soul Spells have very high requirements for the strength of Divine Sense, and the difficulty of getting started is not low, usually only monks above the third realm can cultivate. ”

Regarding Xu San's attitude, Gu Xu had already expected it.

He didn't defend himself, but just stated a fact in a relaxed tone: "During the assessment of the 'Old Teapot' illusion realm, the Dream Eater Tapir's divine sense attack was almost ineffective against me. ”

Xu San suddenly stopped talking.

At this moment, he once again deeply felt that this Lord Gu, who was able to play Tianyan Stone badly, could not be viewed with common sense-

When he was in the first realm, he had already used the difficult and obscure talisman technique with ease. Presumably, this divine mind spell, which is difficult for ordinary people to master, is not difficult for him.

Xu San was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Since Lord Gu has made a decision, then the Headquarters of the Capital City of the Exorcism Division will deliver this Eclipse spell to you within three days. ”

"Then there is Brother Lao Xu."

"Also, Lord Gu," Xu San continued, "this afternoon, I will follow Lord Chu's team and set off for the capital. The next time we meet, we should have to wait until next year. ”

Gu Xu heard the meaning of his words-

Next year, if Gu Xu successfully passes the "inspection period" and is recognized by the high-level of the Exorcism Division, he will be able to go to the capital and become an official member of the "Shenji Battalion".

Naturally, he could also meet Xu San again.

This sentence can be understood as Xu San's blessing to Gu Xu.

So Gu Xu smiled, got up and responded: "Brother Xu, take care all the way, let's meet again next year." ”
