A few minutes later, Gu Xu put on the "Qiyao Suit", put on a black gauze hat, and came to the Yamen of the Exorcism Division of Yishui County.

His elixir was exhausted.

If he wants to continue cultivating, he must take on new tasks, earn merits, and exchange them for pills.

So he made his way to the quest bulletin board.

Since he successfully passed the promotion assessment and became the eighth rank of the Exorcist Division, he has undoubtedly been able to access more difficult tasks with more rewards.

Now, he can't look down on tasks that reward less than a hundred meritorious deeds.

His eyes mainly fell on the task of rewarding more than two hundred meritorious deeds - this level of task, he had to hug Shi Xiaohan's thigh before he could rub it.

But now, he has the ability to execute independently.

Soon, a task rewarding three hundred meritorious deeds attracted Gu Xu's attention:

"The vicinity of Xunliu Street in Yishui County is full of gloomy atmosphere, and it is suspected that someone is possessed by sneak. Please find out the situation as soon as possible and deal with the ghost in question. ”

"Looking for Willow Street? Isn't that the commercial area of Yishui County? How can ghosts appear in such a crowded place? Gu Xu felt a little strange about this.

When things go wrong, there must be demons.

Gu Xu felt that this task would definitely not be as simple as described on the bulletin board.

However, the reward of three hundred meritorious deeds was too tempting for him.

This made him can't help but take out the three copper coins he carried with him from his coat pocket, toss them six times in a row, and skillfully use the "Six Divination Method" to try to predict the bad luck of this task.

The result is that "the earthquake is up and down", which is the hexagram of "Lei Huofeng".

According to the explanation in his memory, "abundance" means grand, which should be a good omen, but prosperity must decline, and there are hidden worries in abundance, so you need to be extra cautious.

So Gu Xu hesitated.

Although he coveted these three hundred feats, he did not want to put himself in danger, even if it was only a small possibility that he would encounter danger.

Just as he was contemplating and thinking, a light and pleasant voice suddenly came from not far away-

"Gu Xu, you are finally willing to come to the yamen today!"

Gu Xu raised his head and saw Shi Xiaohan's petite and delicate figure at a glance.

She was grinning at him from inside the house.

Although she carried a heavy "kungo knife" on her back, she walked exceptionally lightly, jumping up and down, like a little sparrow happily foraging for food.

In the sunlight, her fair face glowed with a lustre, as smooth and clear as white porcelain.

"Shi Nuxia, I haven't seen you for a few days, I thought you had gone to retreat and break through." Gu Xu looked at her smiling goose egg face and said with a smile.

"Lord Chen hasn't come back yet, and I haven't been able to apply to enter the 'Mingzhi Hall' yet," Shi Xiaohan shrugged his shoulders and responded, "In addition, it is much more difficult to break through the 'Nai He Bridge' of the Third Realm than I imagined, and I still have no clue about it." ”

"Do you really want to get a powerful supernatural power when you break through the realm?" Gu Xu read through the cultivation classics and easily guessed the troubles she encountered.

"That's right," Shi Xiaohan nodded, "The elders of my family wrote in their cultivation notes, 'Divine power is the embodiment of spiritual will, and it is also the flower that everyone's divine soul blooms in a desperate situation'.

They say that if you want to awaken supernatural powers, you need not only to be talented and strong-willed, but also to have strong emotional stimulation.

"But I don't know how to find the so-called strong emotional stimulus, and I can't find an excuse to fight with my father......

"Gu Xu, I know you've read a lot of books. Do you have any thoughts on this issue? ”

Gu Xu thought for a moment and replied, "For example...... Have you completed a rewarding task and felt a strong sense of accomplishment after going through hardships and obstacles? ”

"You're full of tasks and rewards - any other suggestions?"

"Like getting rich overnight?"

"I'm not interested in money. You think of one more. ”

"Then I'll think about it again...... If you come to Piaoxiang House with great expectations and want to have a delicious meal, taste the sweet and sour carp and yellow stewed chicken there, but unexpectedly find that Piaoxiang Lou has closed down, and the boss takes the proprietress to roll up the money overnight and runs away......"

Hearing his words, the smile on Shi Xiaohan's face gradually converged.

The sense of substitution is so strong that she has already begun to get angry.

"Then I'd rather not break the realm!" She pursed her lips and clenched her fists in anger like a fried fledgling.

Seeing her like this, Gu Xu unconsciously had an impulse in his heart, wanting to reach out and touch her head and straighten out her slightly messy sideburns like a cat.

But he resisted the thought.

Shi Xiaohan's height is only about one and a half meters.

She had been deeply distressed by this.

She was afraid that after being touched on the head, she would be taller and taller.

Therefore, anyone who wanted to touch her head, such as Cui Tianyou, such as the housekeeper of the Shi family's mansion, was severely beaten by her.

Gu Xu is a person who cherishes life. He didn't dare to risk his life.

…………

"By the way, Gu Xu, are you planning to take on a new task now?" After a while, Shi Xiaohan looked at the bulletin board in front of him and asked Gu Xu, "Why don't I go with you?" I haven't killed ghosts in the last few days, and I'm already hungry and thirsty with the big knife on my back. ”

What Gu Xu was waiting for was her words.

"Okay!" He smiled without thinking.

The results of the divination just now told him that there might be some hidden concerns in this mission.

However, if sometimes Xiao Han, a cultivator who had almost half his foot in the third realm, went together, even in the face of a sudden crisis, he would be able to feel a little more confident in his heart.

Hearing his words, a smile suddenly bloomed on Shi Xiaohan's face.

She stood on tiptoe and reached out to pat Gu Xu's shoulder: "I know that you are very lacking in merit now. This time, the reward will be all yours, and I won't share it with you. ”

Gu Xu's heart warmed, but he still said stiffly: "But I can't let you work for nothing......"

"After the mission is over, you can take me to your house for a meal!" Shi Xiaohan hugged his chest with one hand, touched his chin with the other, and said in a big sister's demeanor.

It's a pity that because of her height, her posture doesn't look majestic, only cute.

"Okay then." Gu Xu knew that now was not the time to be hypocritical.

So, the two of them left the Exorcism Division and walked side by side along the bluestone paved street towards the destination of the mission, Xunliu Street.

In the process of walking, Shi Xiaohan seemed to raise his head and chest and look straight ahead, but in fact, he couldn't help but secretly glance at the handsome side face of the young man next to him with the corner of his eye-

The early morning sun gilded the contours of his face with a golden halo, making him look more dazzling than ever.

However, as soon as Gu Xu showed signs of turning her head to look at her, she would immediately withdraw her gaze and pretend to be casual, even a little cold.

"Xiaohan, you seem to be very happy today!" Gu Xu suddenly spoke.

"Nope!" Shi Xiaohan immediately denied it, "Where did you see that?" ”

"I see you walking and jumping, and you don't look down at your feet. You're about to step on horse manure and you don't even notice it. ”

"Ahh

Hearing his words, Shi Xiaohan looked down and suddenly let out an exclamation.

I saw that her delicate and clean embroidered shoes were less than half an inch away from a pile of stinky horse manure.

She was immediately frightened and took her feet back.

"Gu Xu, you didn't even remind me earlier!"

"I thought that as a second-realm monk, with your powerful divine sense, Shi Nuxia should have discovered it earlier-"

"—Don't laugh!"

"I didn't laugh, I didn't laugh."
