Since the residential address of each of the officials of the Exorcism Division had been recorded in the archives, Chu Fengge found Gu Xu's mansion without difficulty.

Gu Xu was not at home at this time.

The black lacquer door was tightly locked, and it seemed that Chu Fengge, an unexpected guest, was not welcome.

Chu Fengge narrowed his eyes slightly.

As a rare genius in the Great Qi Dynasty and a big celebrity around Luo Sishou, under normal circumstances, Chu Fengge is the focus of attention wherever he goes, and he will be warmly welcomed by people.

It's rare to eat behind closed doors like today.

This made him feel a little unhappy.

However, when he thought of the words of the head of the division, "Gu Xu will become an existence that even I have to look up to", he decided to suppress his irritability and try to maintain the politeness that an exorcist monk should have.

He stepped up the steps, held the hoop, and knocked three times on the black-lacquered door.

No one responded.

"Anyone?" He tapped three more times and asked.

"May I ask your honorable guest's name?" A cold, emotionless voice came from inside the door.

"This official is Chu Fengge in the exorcist division," Chu Fengge raised his chin and replied in a proud tone, "Don't hurry up and open the door to this official, this official has something to find Gu Xu." ”

But the man inside the door seemed to be indifferent to Chu Fengge's request, and continued to say in an unhurried voice:

"Confirming the identity of the visitor......"

"Please tilt your head slightly to the left......"

"Please tilt your head slightly to the right......"

"Please blink your eyes......"

"I'm sorry, I didn't find the appointment information between 'Chu Fengge' and my young master, and the young master is busy now, please ask if your guest is willing to wait a while——"

"- Don't talk nonsense, don't waste time, open the door for me!" There was finally anger in Chu Fengge's tone.

At this moment, he only felt that the servant in charge of guarding the door in Gu Xu's house was sick in his head.

He was a dignified five-grade official, and he traveled thousands of miles from the capital to Yishui County, but he was hung out of the door by this servant and used as a monkey to play!

"I'm very sorry, I can't do this without the permission of the young master." The voice inside the door still said without any waves.

Gu Xu, Gu Xu, since you don't give me face, I'm welcome!

Chu Fengge thought angrily.

He decided to violently open the door and force his way in.

Thinking of this, he immediately gathered Zhenyuan on his lap and kicked hard at the black lacquer gate.

"Bang!"

The metal door lock snapped, and the black-lacquered door suddenly opened.

Chu Fengge put his hands behind his back and walked in with a swagger.

"In the face of this genius, there is never an insurmountable obstacle!" He held his head high and muttered to himself in a dashing manner.

However, at this moment, Chu Fengge suddenly found that there was a black lacquer gate in front of him.

"Is Gu Xu, this guy sick in the brain? In such a small courtyard, there are two gates? Isn't it too much trouble for him to go in and out every day? He couldn't help but complain in his heart.

He lifted his leg again and kicked the door in.

Then an identical black lacquered gate appeared in front of him.

……

After kicking open three gates in a row, Chu Fengge finally realized that something was wrong.

"It turns out that all this is a phantom array arranged by that guy Gu Xu!" He touched his chin and took a deep breath, "Careless, careless!" ”

After all, Chu Fengge was a famous genius in the Great Qi Dynasty.

Although his brain is not very good sometimes, if he is willing to calm down, with his cultivation and divine sense power, it will not be difficult to crack this phantom array.

He closed his eyes and opened them again.

The illusion around him was shattered in an instant.

At this moment, he found that he was still standing on the crowded Ping'an Alley, and the black lacquer gate in front of him was still tightly locked and intact.

Chu Fengge rarely admires others.

But Gu Xu's cultivation realm was much lower than his, but he was able to use the phantom array to briefly deceive his perception - this was undoubtedly a thing beyond common sense.

Alas, if you are born of Chu, how can you give birth to Gu?

Chu Fengge let out a long sigh.

He only felt that his future road to becoming the first in the world had become more difficult and tortuous.

…………

At the same time, Gu Xu had just finished buying vegetables on Caichang Street, carrying cabbage, tomatoes, tofu, pork, etc., and returned to Ping'an Lane.

Seeing Chu Fengge standing outside the gate of his house, he couldn't help but be stunned for two seconds.

Lord Chu, didn't we say we'll see you in the capital next year?

Why did you suddenly show up at my door again?

Could it be that you miss me?

Gu Xu felt a little confused.

However, he still stepped forward, put the vegetable basket in his hand on the ground, and bowed slightly to Chu Fengge and said, "The lower officials don't know that Lord Chu has come from afar, and he has missed the welcome, so please don't mind Lord Chu." ”

Chu Fengge did not respond immediately.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked Gu Xu up and down.

He found that compared with the last time they met, Gu Xu's entire spiritual temperament had undergone fundamental changes.

The last time they met, Gu Xu was thin and pale, and he looked like a patient with an incurable disease.

But now, not only did his face turn bloody, but his whole body became radiant.

"Gu ...... Brother Gu Xian, the phantom array you have arranged in this room is quite level! ”

Chu Fengge hesitated for a moment, and did not call him by his name, but chose the more intimate and polite title of "Brother Gu Xian".

"I am not good at learning arts, which makes Lord Chu laugh." Gu Xu said humbly.

At this time, he had obviously discovered that Chu Fengge wanted to force his way into the mansion just now, and was trapped in the phantom array, and he was almost about to trigger the killing array—if he was not careful, he became the guinea pig he used to test the power of the formation.

"Besides, Brother Gu Xian, the servant in charge of the doorkeeper in your family doesn't seem to have a good brain, so I suggest you dismiss him as soon as possible!" Chu Fengge then said lightly, "With his dead brain, I'm afraid that he will cause you trouble in the future." ”

Gu Xu smiled awkwardly and did not speak.

He just used the technique of "Eye-Dotting Spirit" today to improve the runes in the eyes of the little scholar on the screen portrait to a certain extent, adding him the ability of "face recognition", so that he can identify the identity of visitors.

It's just that at present, this spell is not perfect enough, and the "user experience" given to the guests is not very good.

It can be said that it is still a silly "artificial retardation".

…………

After a while, he took Chu Fengge into the mansion and took a seat in the main house, while instructing the little scholar to pour them two cups of hot tea.

As soon as Chu Fengge sat down, he said straight to the point: "Brother Gu Xian, I came to Yishui County this time on the order of Lord Si Shou to persuade you to investigate the haunting case of the Lu family's murderous mansion. ”

Hearing the words "Lu's murderous house" again, Gu Xu only felt a headache.

"The head of the department thinks too highly of me!"
