Cui Tianyou has advised Gu Xu more than once: "Brother Gu, you are now a court official of the Great Qi Dynasty and a promising young talent, how can you live alone like before?" This is unseemly!

"If I were you, even if I was frugal, I would have to save some money, hire a few guards, find a few housekeepers, and marry two young and beautiful concubines with slender figures, how comfortable it is!"

Whenever he heard Cui Tianyou's words, Gu Xu would only smile and be noncommittal.

In his eyes, Cui Tianyou is a good person, everything else is good, but he likes to daydream too much.

"Brother Cui, you want to marry a two-room concubine, does your sister-in-law know?" Gu Xu joked.

As soon as he heard the word "sister-in-law", Cui Tianyou immediately frowned, and complained bitterly: "How dare I tell her? If the tigress had found out, she would have been furious and had dismantled me...... By then, you'll probably only be able to see my image in the mourning hall......"

Gu Xu gently patted him on the shoulder.

He knows very well that although this Brother Cui is particularly keen to brag in front of his colleagues, he often talks about words such as "marrying a few concubines", "going to the Luojing Teaching Workshop to have a good time", "going to the Qingzhou Song and Dance Workshop to enjoy the wonderful posture of the dancing girls", but in fact he is a person who is quite afraid of himself, and he can be described as a thief but not a thief.

As soon as he saw his wife, who was called "tigress", he immediately became a quail and obeyed her.

"So, Brother Cui, we must not only look up to the sky, but also be down-to-earth, and don't always have unattainable dreams." Gu Xu said to him earnestly.

Cui Tianyou sighed and said with a sad face: "Alas, you are right. ”

…………

In fact, since repairing the house and changing the lintel, Gu Xu really feels that he needs to strengthen the security measures for his house.

It's just that, as a cultivator, he feels that he has a more cost-effective way than spending money to hire some guards who are not as strong as himself.

For example, set up some defensive formations.

As the saying goes, the array is a big talisman, and the talisman is a small array.

The rune and the formation are the same in principle.

Gu Xu is proficient in runes, and naturally has an in-depth understanding of formations.

"So...... Is it better to set up a phantom array, or is it better to arrange a killing array? ”

Gu Xu thought for a moment and decided to use both.

For those uninvited guests with ill intentions, first use the phantom array to dissuade them psychologically, and if they are obsessed, then use the killing array to physically dissuade them.

In addition to this, he also made a special formation design on his desk.

After all, he has a lot of important notes and materials in his drawers.

He didn't want to be seen by outsiders.

If someone tried to force open his drawer to peek into his secrets, the notes would instantly burn themselves under the blazing fire, turning them into irreparable ashes.

…………

So, it took Gu Xu two hours to complete the arrangement of the defensive circle in his house.

In the process, his "Divine Token" sparkled more than once, trying to issue a mission to him.

But Gu Xu refused without hesitation.

Because the "Shenji Battalion" wanted to ask him to solve the case of the Lu family's murder house.

To tell the truth, Gu Xu really couldn't understand why the mission of the "Divine Machine Battalion" had suddenly become unreliable recently.

He remembered that Xu San had mentioned to him that the "Divine Machine Battalion" would only assign tasks to the monks within their capabilities.

But this Lu family's murder house case, even the Fourth Realm monk Chu Fengge couldn't solve it.

Earlier, there were many monks from the third and fourth realms of the Qingzhou Mansion Exorcism Division who mysteriously disappeared in the Lu family's old mansion and have not returned.

Gu Xu really didn't think he was capable of solving this dangerous case.

However, as the saying goes, "under the heavy reward, there will be a brave man".

Recently, several monks from all over the country have volunteered to go to the Lu Clan's murderous mansion to try to deal with the hidden ghosts because they are eager to receive rich meritorious rewards and rare high-grade spells.

Although there is still no progress in this case.

But in the circles of the exorcist monks, new theories began to circulate.

Some people say that the Lu clan of Qingzhou is a descendant of the Flying Immortals - in that gloomy mansion, if you are lucky, you will have the opportunity to obtain the Dao Law left by the immortals.

Some people say that the heirloom of the Lu family, the "Jinghong Pen", is still stored in that mansion, quietly waiting for the arrival of destined people in an unknown corner.

You must know that the "Jinghong Pen" was once known as one of the "Twelve Famous Weapons of the Great Wilderness", which can be compared with powerful magic weapons such as the "Tai'a Sword" of the Great Qi Emperor, the "Zhaoshen Drum" of the Northwest Barbarians, and the "Book of Sacred Words" of the Xiangyang Chen Family.

This level of magic weapon, once obtained, will undoubtedly be able to raise the strength of the monk to a higher level, and the combat effectiveness will be greatly enhanced.

Because of this, after hearing these news, many people are willing to take risks.

But Gu Xu was skeptical about this.

Because he felt that after the former cabinet chief assistant Lu Huan committed treason, the Lu family in Qingzhou was also raided - if there was really any treasure hidden in Lu's house, it was estimated that it had been looted in the process of raiding the house, how could it be left there?

So he no longer paid attention to the mission of the "Shenji Battalion".

After arranging the formation, he left his house in civilian clothes and set off to buy vegetables in Caishi Street, Yishui County.

For him, cooking is the right thing to do.

…………

Meanwhile.

Soon after Gu Xu left his house, a young man with delicate facial features and a handsome appearance stepped on a flying sword and came to the sky above Yishui County.

I saw him carrying his hands behind his back, overlooking all living beings, and said impassionedly: "The sword covers the sun like a rainbow, and the smile points to the Lingxiao Palace on the clouds." Heaven does not give birth to me Chu Fengge, and there is no hero for thousands of years. ”

This person is Chu Fengge, a close confidant of the head of the Fifth Rank Langzhong and the Head of the Exorcism Division.

As for the poems he recited, they were undoubtedly the poems written by his subordinates for him.

He came to Yishui County again today, on the order of the head of the department, to persuade Gu Xu to go to Qingzhou Mansion to complete the case of the Lu family's murder house.

To tell the truth, Chu Fengge couldn't understand why Lord Si Shou valued Gu Xu's guy so much, let alone why he had to let Gu Xu go to the Lu family's murderous mansion by name.

In this regard, the explanation given by the head Luo Chuan is: "This case is a disaster for others, but it is an opportunity for Gu Xu.

"The ancestor of the Lu family, who ascended to immortality, once entered the Tao with poetry and painting, known as 'poetry immortal'. And Gu Xu, as a person who cultivates the Dao, whether it is the spell left by the ancestor of the Lu family, or the 'Amazing Pen 'Shocking Brush', it is of great help to his cultivation. ”

But Chu Fengge was still frowning.

"Chu Fengge, don't you understand, why do I pay so much attention to Gu Xu?" Luo Chuan easily guessed Chu Fengge's thoughts.

Chu Fengge nodded.

In front of the head of the division, who claims to be able to "see into the heavens", he does not expect to be able to hide his thoughts.

Luo Chuan chuckled lightly and said lightly: "You should know that I am a person who can see the future." Maybe in the near future, Gu Xu will become an existence that even I have to look up to.

"What I'm helping him now is just an investment."

Chu Fengge was shocked.
