After reading this passage, Gu Xu flipped the flower note to the back, and sure enough, he saw a short incantation.

"Is this really a 'frost melting' technique?"

He took out the copper coin again and tried to verify the authenticity of the spell through divination.

Copper coins face up.

This shows that Lu Shiyao did not lie to him.

The most important purpose for him to come to this Lu Clan's murderous mansion has been achieved at this moment.

But Gu Xu was still hesitating.

He still silently weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

If he chooses to help Lu Shiyao fulfill his desire for revenge, then he will become the new owner of the "Amazing Pen"; But at the same time, he will also face Tang Hui head-on.

It was recorded in the information that Tang Hui was a monk who had just entered the fifth realm fifteen years ago.

After so many years, his cultivation must have improved a lot.

In addition, Tang Hui also held a piece of the "Qincha Token" carved by the Emperor of Great Qi himself in his hand - if he made a move on Tang Hui, he might be noticed by the emperor.

Although emotionally, Gu Xu was very sympathetic to the tragic experience of Lu Shiyao and the Lu family.

But reason told him that his best choice at the moment was to use the "Broken Sky Bead" to leave this land of right and wrong as soon as possible, and not to get involved in the grievances and hatred between the Lu family and the royal family.

It is desirable to become the new owner of a famous weapon.

However, for a second-realm cultivator with low strength like him, it wasn't necessarily a good thing.

After all, this "shocking pen" really involves too much cause and effect.

"Childe doesn't seem to believe in our sincerity yet," Seeing that Gu Xu was silent for a long time, the "Shocking Pen Instrumental Spirit spoke again, "Perhaps, we can let you see the 'Shocking Pen first', and then you can make a decision." ”

With that, the machine spirit disappeared in place again.

In the blink of an eye, she appeared in the farthest corner of the room, crouched down, and tapped her hand three times on an inconspicuous floor tile, which silently sank to reveal a small underground compartment.

The Machine Spirit pulls out a metal box from the underground compartment.

The metal box had an intricate mechanism on the outside - when the machine touched it, the gears on the box began to rotate on their own, and then the spring was released, and the box "snapped" open.

"Although I have the great power to embody the imagery of poetry and painting, my body is very fragile," the machine spirit said in a flat tone as he handed the box to Gu Xu, "Even a mortal, after discovering my body, can easily hold it in his hand, and even break it without much effort." I have no power to resist this.

"So, when I'm in a state of no master, I have to do everything I can to hide my true nature from anyone who finds out.

"This box in front of you can only be opened by me.

"If someone else forcibly takes it apart, they will find it empty inside, nothing."

Gu Xu took the box.

In the center of the box, a slender brush was placed upright.

It uses black bamboo as the tube, with the purple hare as the material, the tip of the pen is like a cone, the tip of the pen is round and full, and the tip of the pen still has a faint grinding mark.

At first glance, this pen is old and simple, and it is no different from the brush that Gu Xu usually uses to write and draw symbols.

If it is inserted in the pen holder at random, I am afraid that no one will recognize it as one of the "twelve famous vessels" of the famous wilderness.

"If your body is so fragile, then why do you trust me so much?" Gu Xu stared at the "Shocking Pen" in the box and asked the machine spirit.

The machine spirit replied, "If you can successfully pass those three tests, it proves that you are a person of good character and do not seek fame and fortune, and will not do such things as malicious destruction." I'm still very confident in my own vision. ”

"Indeed." Gu Xu smiled slightly and nodded.

…………

However, just as Gu Xu looked down at the "Shocking Pen", a change suddenly happened.

A sharp and piercing whistling sound suddenly sounded in Gu Xu's ears.

Immediately afterwards, the space in front of him was like a picture scroll, which was suddenly torn apart by a pair of invisible hands.

"Someone is using 'Breaking the Sky Bead'!" Chu Fengge, who was standing at the door in a daze, suddenly exclaimed.

It was too late, but it was too late, and I saw a middle-aged man in a brocade robe, a short beard, and slightly white sideburns walking out of the crack in the space.

But at this moment, on his face, there was no elegant and easy-going smile before.

Instead, there is a gloomy and crazy expression.

It is Tang Hui, the former suppressor of the Exorcism Division, who has been dormant in the Lu family's murderous mansion for fifteen years!

At this moment, a spear appeared out of thin air in Tang Hui's right hand, flashing with a cold light, and stabbed towards Gu Xu's chest with lightning speed.

This is Tang Hui's natal object - "Golden Jiao Gun".

It is a gift from Lu Huan to Tang Hui many years ago, and its surface is carved with delicate water patterns and dragon patterns, symbolizing "Jiaolong entering the sea", with the meaning of "flying yellow and showing his talents", which is a teacher's best wishes for his students.

This "Golden Jiao Spear" is so powerful that it is known as sharpening iron like clay, and countless ghosts and enemies have fallen under this spear.

In Tang Hui's left hand, a golden chain condensed by the true yuan appeared, extending towards the box where the "Shocking Brush" was located, trying to snatch away the slender and simple brush.

…………

For this day, Tang Hui has been planning for a long time.

He has been imprisoned in this ice-covered murderous mansion by the Yishan Snow Girl and the "Shocking Pen Instrument" for fifteen years.

Although he relied on the "Chincha Token", he was able to keep the darkness and cold out of the shelter.

However, he did not want to be imprisoned forever in this terrible prison.

He also longs to get out of the murderous mansion and see the light of day again.

He also longed to make a big career in the court of Great Qi.

To achieve this, he had only one way - that is, to find the body of the "Amazing Pen" and destroy it.

He knows that the ability of the "Amazing Brush" lies in creating illusions and embodying reality.

Its power is certainly powerful—even in the hands of the powerful saints, and it can also build small worlds out of nothingness.

But its body is the most fragile of the "Twelve Instruments".

Especially in the state of ownerlessness, an ordinary person has the ability to break it.

Therefore, it has always been regarded as a treasure by the Lu family in Qingzhou, holding it in the palm of his hand for fear of falling, and holding it in his mouth for fear of melting.

The Qingzhou Lu clan had also considered reinforcing it with spells and runes to prevent it from being accidentally damaged.

But then they found that they couldn't add any additional spells or runes to the "Amazing Pen" - this simple appearance of the brush was like a noble and arrogant lady, who had always held her head high proudly and refused all foreign things.

So they came to the conclusion that "fragility" may be the inherent attribute of the "Thrilling Pen" itself.

Some people even speculate that the fragile ontology of this "Jinghong Pen" may be a certain kind of true meaning that the ancestors of the immortals tried to convey to their descendants.

It is precisely because it is too fragile, so when there is no owner, the machine spirit of the "Thrilling Pen" will also try to hide its own body to avoid being found.

Tang Hui spent a long time, but he couldn't find any trace of it in the Lu family's murderous mansion.

Therefore, he could only hope that the monks who entered the Lu Clan's murderous mansion and tried to pass the test, hoping that they would help him find the location of the "Shocking Pen" body.

In this way, he can destroy the "Amazing Pen" at the moment when it has not had time to recognize its master.

…………

When Tang Hui entered the third realm, his awakened supernatural power was called "insight".

It bears some resemblance to the mythical and legendary "clairvoyant".

When Tang Hui activated this supernatural power, all movements within a radius of a hundred miles could not escape his perception.

It was precisely because of such magical powers that when Gu Xu and Chu Fengge arrived at the South Gate Shadow Wall before, Tang Hui was able to rush to their side just right and provide them with information that was both true and false.

In addition, he has also been using the "insight" supernatural power to pay attention to the entire process of Gu Xu's participation in the test.

So when the "Shocking Pen" manifested, he immediately crushed a "Broken Sky Bead" and rushed to "Suxue Garden".

"It sounds like a pity that the once famous Shocking Pen is about to disappear into obscurity in history," Tang Hui sighed in his heart, "There are also these two young people, who seem to be dignified and talented, but it's a pity that they know too many things that shouldn't be known, so I have to send them to death with tears." ”
