"The yin qi seems to be more terrifying today." The eldest prince, Xiao Shangyuan, looked at the misty mountains and forests and frowned.

"Indeed," Fan Cheng nodded in agreement, "I think it should be difficult to have any more survivors near Yishan." ”

Gu Xu silently followed behind them, observing the surroundings vigilantly.

The ancient trees stood majestically, releasing the smell of dampness and decay. The vast canopy of trees covers the sky and the sun, the intricate roots turn into stumbling traps, and the frozen frost freezes on the branches.

According to the plan set last night, the Sixth Realm monks from the capital will enter the depths of Yishan Mountain to find the traces of the Snow Maiden and the mysterious black altar; The monks of the Fourth and Fifth Realms will detour to fight in the west of Yishan, where it is said that hundreds of mutated monsters have gathered; The monks of the second and third realms will work as squads to rescue the survivors in the villages to the east and south.

Gu Xu is a special case.

He was named and asked to join the team of the eldest prince, Xiao Shangyuan, and go to the hillside near the camp to deal with the ghosts.

There, there was an official road that became a lair of ghosts, which seriously affected the transportation of materials in Qingzhou Prefecture.

And among his companions, in addition to Xiao Shangyuan, there are also Fan Cheng of the Sixth Realm, Wei Jiusi of the Qingzhou Mansion of the Fifth Realm, and two monks of the Fourth Realm.

As a second-realm cultivator, Gu Xu could be said to be out of place among this group of people.

If there is one word to describe his mood, it is "group to eliminate my guy".

Gu Xu knew that this was the eldest prince who wanted to take this opportunity to observe his ability.

Since he was appointed by the emperor as an "attendant", he has entered the field of vision of the magnates of the Great Qi, and it is difficult to keep a low profile as before.

This undoubtedly made him feel a little depressed.

Who makes themselves too good?

The cold wind whistled by, blowing the shadows of the trees, like hideous creatures.

"The three fierce gods of Qingzhou Mansion are not easy to mess with," Wei Jiusi, a thousand households in Qingzhou Mansion, interjected, "Your Highness, we used to think that Snow Maiden could only control blizzards and summons, and we never thought that she still had the ability to create a large range of evil qi out of thin air. She is far more dangerous than we think. If she can't be solved again, I'm afraid that I really have to ask the saints to take action in person just like they did when they dealt with the 'Nine Baby Snake Demon' back then. ”

Hearing his words, Gu Xu silently commented in his heart: Lord Wei is really hinting at the capital to provide reinforcements anytime and anywhere.

"The Three Fierce Gods of Qingzhou Mansion...... There is a snow girl, there is a nine-baby snake demon, and what is another one called? Is there a Snow Girl so scary? Xiao Shangyuan asked with some curiosity.

"There is one more ......," Wei Jiusi frowned.

He found himself in a blank mind, racking his brains and unable to think of an answer to the question.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness," after pondering for a long time, Wei Jiusi lowered his head and said with some guilt, "I can't remember what that ghost is called for a while. This is my rerequiretion. I'll be sure to let you know as soon as I get back to camp. ”

"It's okay," Xiao Shangyuan said with a smile, unimpressed by his words, "I just mentioned it casually." Our top priority is to deal with the Snow Maiden. ”

What is the name of the third fierce god?

Gu Xu also began to think about this question silently.

He remembered that he had asked Chen Jisheng, Cui Tianyou, and many other people about this question.

But they all prevaricated on the grounds of "forgot" and "didn't know", and never told him an accurate answer.

Gu Xu himself had also considered going to the Library Pavilion to search for information related to the Third Fierce God.

However, whenever he entered the library, he would be so busy looking through other spiritual knowledge that he would forget about it.

"This thing is really weird," Gu Xu thought to himself, "I didn't expect that I have the talent of 'erudition and strong memory', and I will also have times of forgetfulness." When the Yishan mission is over, I must go and check this third fierce god. ”

At this time, there was a change in the mountains and forests.

The branches throbbed in the wind, as if they were scratching each other with their fingers.

In the distance, there was the murmur of spring water and the whimpering and mournful cry of non-existent thoughts.

"The goblin is near." Fan Cheng said lightly.

His tone was very calm, and he had no intention of making a move for the time being.

"None of them are strong. If my perception is correct, the strongest is only the 'Wild Ghost' level. Wei Jiusi also narrowed his eyes slightly and added on the side.

"Brother Gu Xian, do we have a chance to see your miraculous rune attainments today?" The eldest prince, Xiao Shangyuan, also smiled and said.

Gu Xu was silent on the surface, and silently complained in his heart: You group of bigwigs stand by and let me, a little monk of the second realm, fight against ghosts, is this reasonable?

At this time, he had already realized that the reason why the eldest prince stayed in Yishan was not that he really wanted to "eliminate harm for the people", but only wanted to strive for political capital for the future succession.

"Of course, Your Highness." Gu Xu said lightly.

A few minutes later, dozens of shadows emerged from the darkness of the woods and came to them.

They are thin, human-like, pale as corpses, and wear tattered clothes; His body was surrounded by black qi, and his eyes were a terrifying dark red.

As they walked, they let out a terrible roar from time to time.

Gu Xu knew that these ghosts were all villagers who lived nearby not long ago.

…………

[The back is repeated content, you can come back later and continue to watch!] 】

[The back is repeated content, you can come back later and continue to watch!] 】

A moment later, Gu Xu met the eldest prince Xiao Shangyuan in a simple wooden house, as well as the royal family enshrined Fan Cheng and Wei Jiusi of Qingzhou Mansion beside him.

The house was improvised with spells.

The interior of the house is simply furnished.

A large crude table and a few hard wooden chairs formed a makeshift conference room.

When Gu Xu stepped into the room, Xiao Shangyuan immediately got up to greet him with a smile; When Gu Xu was about to bow his hand, Xiao Shangyuan immediately grabbed his arm and said again and again: "Brother Gu Xian doesn't need to be polite. ”

Xiao Shangyuan's appearance is three points similar to his younger brother Xiao Shangzhen, which can be regarded as dignified, but there is a little less childishness between his eyebrows, and the outline of his face is tougher.

Although His Royal Highness the Great Prince looked amiable and called Gu Xu a brother and sister, he let him leave his official position and etiquette far away.

But Gu Xu noticed that Xiao Shangyuan's eyes were awe-inspiring, revealing an undoubted arrogance - as if he was a majestic lion entrenched in the territory, as long as someone dared to offend him, he would show his fangs with cold light.

After sitting down, Xiao Shangyuan got straight to the point.

He took out a piece of talisman paper from his arms, handed it to Gu Xu, and said to him, "Brother Gu Xian, is this 'Wind Talisman' your work?" ”

Gu Xu took the talisman seal and observed it carefully.

This rune paper is not his.

The handwriting on the paper was a little jerky, and it was certainly not written by him.

But that day's whimsical improvement ideas were indeed his handiwork.

He never taught anyone how to draw the improved version of the "Wind Talisman".

So in this world, he should be the only one who can draw such a "wind talisman".

"This talisman is our copy, not the original," as if sensing Gu Xu's somewhat puzzled eyes, the eldest prince smiled and explained in a gentle tone, "The earliest 'Fengxing talisman' was picked up by me from the waste basket of the Yamen of the Exorcism Division of Qingzhou Mansion, and Uncle Fan decided that it was definitely from the master's hand.

"And in order to find out the identity of the rune master behind it, we have gone through a lot of twists and turns.

"Now, we've finally found you, Master Gu!

"I can't imagine that at this age when you have not yet been crowned, you can have such a profound rune cultivation! With your rune talent, I'm afraid even the national teacher will be envious when he sees it! ”

Hearing the words of the eldest prince, Gu Xu also remembered that he had indeed used a "wind talisman" on the way to Qingzhou Mansion, and then threw it into the wastebasket casually.

"Last October, His Royal Highness was also in Qingzhou Mansion?" He asked.

"Yes," Xiao Shangyuan replied frankly, "At that time, when I saw that the Yishan Snow Maiden was making waves and harming the people in Qingzhou, I asked my father for help, hoping to use the sword in my hand to eliminate the harm for the people."

"But I don't want people to misunderstand my motives and think I'm doing this kind of thing for the sake of fame. So I hid my identity and whereabouts.

"It's a pity that the Snow Maiden's strength is much stronger than I imagined, and I tried my best to defeat her, but instead made myself bruised and embarrassed. If it weren't for Mr. He, the younger brother of the national teacher, who rescued me with his miraculous 'shrinking into inches' magical power, I'm afraid my soul would have become food for the Snow Maiden. ”

It turned out that He Yiqun hurried to Yishan after leaving "Seven Styles of Burning Sky" at his home to save this prince!

Gu Xu recalled silently in his mind.

I only heard Xiao Shangyuan pause for a moment, then smiled slightly, and continued: "But I have never been a person who is willing to admit defeat easily. I will not give up my desire to eradicate harm to the people because of a momentary failure.

"And I also realized that with my own strength, I can't compete with the Yishan Snow Maiden, who has the strength close to that of a saint.

"So now I have come to this camp, hoping to fight with the monks here and remove the snow girl for the people of Qingzhou Mansion."

"Your Highness really cares about the people's livelihood," Gu Xu complimented in a flat tone, "If the people of Qingzhou Mansion know His Highness's thoughts, they will definitely be grateful to His Highness." ”

I have to say that the scene of this eldest prince is very beautiful, and he is also very good at winning people's hearts, compared with his naïve younger brother, it is simply a world of difference.

If there were no family lords in this world, and there would be no extraordinary strength, then Xiao Shangzhen would not have the slightest competitiveness in front of this brother who was quite means.

"However, Brother Gu Xian, I don't care about the thoughts of the people of Qingzhou Mansion today, I only care about your thoughts," Xiao Shangyuan leaned forward slightly, staring intently at Gu Xu's eyes, "I want to fight side by side with Brother Gu Xian tomorrow and see Brother Gu Xian's cultivation with my own eyes, I wonder if Brother Gu Xian is willing to agree?" ”

Xiao Shangyuan's words left a certain amount of leeway, and he did not directly ask Gu Xu to stand in line in the succession and become his follower.

But it also means that it's a request that can't be refused.

After all, this is a critical moment against the Snow Maiden.

If he refuses, his words are likely to be taken out of context and used as a handle by others.

"Your Highness has an order, how dare I disobey?" Gu Xu responded with a smile.

He didn't want to get involved in the troubled waters of the royal family.

Therefore, if the eldest prince wants to call him a brother and a brother, he has to guard the distinction between monarchs and ministers.

"Then I'm looking forward to Brother Gu Xian showing his might tomorrow!" Xiao Shangyuan's expression was still calm, and there was no change in emotion on his face.

On the side, Fan Cheng frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something; Wei Jiusi smiled and showed a look of appreciation to Gu Xu.

…………

That night, the monks gathered in the open field to count the casualties and discuss the assignment of tasks for the next day.

It wasn't until late at night that they dispersed, either to receive food or to return to their temporary lodgings to cultivate.

Gu Xu obeyed the arrangement of Wei Jiusi, a thousand households in Qingzhou Mansion, and handed over some "Taishang Arctic Town Demon Slaying Talismans", and exchanged it for a lot of meritorious deeds.

"I heard Chen Jisheng say that your improved ghost killing talisman is much stronger than the original," Wei Jiusi said with a smile, "Can you tell me how many times stronger it is?" ”

"Hmm...... At least ten times more! Gu Xu himself didn't know.

When he returned, he saw Shi Xiaohan holding a food box, sitting sullenly on the edge of the wall.

Her whole body was shrunk into a ball, her little face was puffed up, and she looked like a small glutinous rice dumpling from a distance.

The cold wind ruffled her black hair, and the hairpin ring on her head clanged, but she didn't realize it.

"You don't look very happy." Gu Xu came to her side and said.

Shi Xiaohan raised his head and looked at him, with a look of grievance in his clear apricot eyes: "The food in this camp is really unpalatable." ”

As she spoke, she held the food box in her hand in front of Gu Xu.

I saw that there were two steamed buns, a boiled egg, a few green vegetables, and a few pieces of semi-lean pork roasted at random.

"It seems to be better than the food I had in the military training...... Gu Xu complained silently, "It looks quite nutritious." ”

"Miss Shi," he sat down beside her, comforting, "these are extraordinary times, and the conditions are more difficult, so you have to endure it." ”

"But I really can't put these things into my mouth!" Shi Xiaohan snorted, dissatisfied with Gu Xu's answer, "Also, how many times have I told you, don't call me Miss!" ”

But you're a spoiled lady now!

Gu Xu commented secretly.

He knew that this was the first time that Shi Xiaohan had participated in such a high-risk level mission - as a flower that had grown up in a greenhouse, it was inevitable that he would be a little uncomfortable.

Only through tempering can we truly grow.

"You don't want to treat it as food, but as part of your cultivation," he persuaded, "Do you want the ghosts to feel the power of the 'Gluttonous Seal' tomorrow?" Do you want to show your might in front of His Royal Highness the Prince and Lord Wei? Do you want the monks of Qingzhou to feel the majesty of the heroine of Yishui? ”

"Yes!" Shi Xiaohan said without thinking.

After saying that, she realized that she had accidentally fallen on the trap.

"Humph!" She glanced at Gu Xu angrily.

Gu Xu smiled and waved his hand to the soldiers beside him, asking them to hand him an identical dinner.

The two sat quietly in the corner.

In this bleak cold wind, enjoy the calm of the moment before the storm.

This time, Gu Xu was the first to finish dinner.

He took out a booklet from his coat pocket and continued to write and draw, thinking about cultivation.

Inadvertently, he turned to the pale pink flower note sandwiched between the pages, on which was a neat hairpin with Juanxiu, writing "May the son be well and seek eternal life".

Thinking of the blizzard and the white wolf in the forest today, Gu Xu sighed lightly, only feeling extremely sorry.
