Gu Xu followed Qu Jinglong to the treasury of the headquarters of the Exorcism Division.

From the outside, this warehouse looks much more magnificent than the one in Yishui County.

Not only is the footprint several times larger.

And outside its door, there are more than ten stone tablets neatly arranged.

Gu Xu casually glanced at the words on the stone tablet, and at a glance he saw high-grade spells and martial arts such as "Tai'a Sword Technique", "Thunder Guiding Technique", "Yunhai Xinghe Sword", "Jade Rainbow Penetrating the Sun", "Meteor Walking on the Moon" and so on.

And the exchange price of these things is also frighteningly high, and the lowest ones require tens of thousands of merits.

Compared with those "Guiyuan Jue", "Lightning Whip" and "Dog Stick Method" in Yishui County that can be exchanged for only five hundred merits, it is simply a world of difference.

Gu Xu stood in place and was silent for two seconds.

His mood at the moment is like a person who is used to buying things in a cheap mall, and suddenly enters a luxury store.

"Master Gu, when you are in the third realm, you will be able to smash the conspiracy of the Kongxuansan people and make immortal achievements," Qu Jinglong stood beside Gu Xu and continued to pat his ass with a smile, "According to the humble opinion of the lower officials, I am afraid that in a few years, all the top-grade spells on these stone tablets will be in your pocket." ”

Gu Xu smiled and didn't speak.

He knew that there was such a thing as a top-grade spell, in fact, the more the better.

It contains the true meaning of the founder's avenue.

As the head of Luo Si once wrote, "What suits you is the most powerful." ”

Only by aligning with the founder's philosophy can the maximum power of high-grade spells be brought into play.

However, Gu Xu's purpose today is very simple.

He was only going to exchange it for one thing - "Doordan".

Just like the first realm monks need the "Meditation Pill", and the second realm monks need the "Eternal Ming Pill".

Cultivators of the Third Realm also need to use "Du Erdan" during their cultivation process in order to stabilize their minds and avoid their souls being corroded by the Yin and Evil Qi.

Of course, its price is also a bit more expensive than the "Jingxin Dan" and "Changming Dan".

One bottle of seven hundred and twenty meritorious deeds, nine pills per bottle.

However, at this time, Gu Xu was surprised to find that he suddenly had 80,000 more meritorious deeds than before.

"Lord Gu, these 100,000 meritorious deeds are the reward you received for stopping the promotion plan of the Kongxuansan people and rescuing the people of Qingzhou Mansion," the little official guarding the treasury flipped through the file records and quickly gave an explanation, "This morning, the head of the department personally recorded your name. ”

The archive of the Exorcism Division Headquarters to record meritorious deeds is a magic weapon jointly created by Luo Sishou and Keqing He Yiqun.

It is engraved with a celestial magic array inside, which not only records the number of merits of all exorcist monks in the territory of the Great Qi Dynasty, but also can be updated and synchronized in real time.

Gu Xu glanced down at the archives, only to feel that the surprise came too suddenly.

He had never been richer than he is today.

You must know that he only received a reward of 5,000 meritorious services for solving the Lu family's murder house case before - it sounds like a lot, but after exchanging ten bottles of "Changming Pill", there is not much left.

And now these 80,000 merits can be exchanged for hundreds of bottles of "Duerdan", which is enough for him to use for a long time.

"Lord Si is really generous this time!" Gu Xu sighed softly.

"Lord Gu saved all the people from fire and water this time, but it is a great merit!" Qu Jinglong next to him continued to compliment with a smile, "In the eyes of the lower officials, no matter what kind of reward you get, even if it is to worship the general, it is not too much. ”

Gu Xu suddenly wanted to shut up this guy.

Afterwards, he exchanged ten bottles of "Duerdan" from the clerk guarding the treasury and stuffed them into the "Xianyunju".

While cracking the causal spell of the Empty Xuansan people, Luo Sishou also erased the connection between items such as "Xianyunju" and the original owner by the way.

Now these things belong to Gu Xu completely. He can use it with confidence.

Next, Gu Xu began to ask the little official again, if there were any powerful magic weapons in the treasury of the headquarters of the Exorcism Division.

As we all know, after breaking through the fourth realm [Wangxiangtai], monks can choose a natal magic weapon and keep it in their dantian.

The monk can directly control the natal weapon with his mind, and he can also fly with the help of it. And the level of the natal magic weapon will also continue to improve as the monks' cultivation increases.

It's like an extension of the monk's body.

Gu Xu felt that he should prepare for the promotion to the fourth realm as soon as possible and find a suitable natal magic weapon.

Although he already has the famous "Amazing Pen" in his hand.

But after all, it was once the natal object of the ancestors of the Lu family, and the "Tao" of the ancestors of the Lu family was hidden in it.

Because Gu Xu is determined to become a saint, he can only learn a little from other people's "Dao", but he must not accept it all.

His natal object must belong to him thoroughly and be used to carry out his "Tao".

"Lord Gu, you don't have to be too anxious about the natal object," at this time, Qu Jinglong opened his mouth and proposed again, "This year, the monks who won the championship in the 'Luoshui Conference' can enter the royal treasury and choose a magic weapon as a reward. The contents of the royal treasury are worth more than those in the treasury of the exorcism.

"Of course, a dragon and a phoenix among people like Lord Gu have to use the best magic weapon. You might as well wait until that time to choose. ”

"Winning the championship at the 'Luoshui Conference'......" Gu Xu glanced at Qu Jinglong and said with a slight smile, "You are so confident in me?" ”

"Master Gu is a genius of heaven, his talent and courage far surpass his peers, and he can confront the 'fierce god' level ghosts at a young age," Qu Jinglong said solemnly, "No one like you can win the championship, who else can?" ”

Gu Xu suddenly didn't know what to say to him.

…………

Because Gu Xu didn't have his own mansion in the capital, he was now temporarily living in the headquarters of the Exorcism Division.

The headquarters of the Exorcism Division is located on a hill on the northwestern outskirts of Luojing City, and you can look up at the starry sky and look down at Xiongcheng.

Its scale is not small, there are pavilions, exotic flowers and plants, rockery pools within the wall.

Luo Sishou specially prepared a two-story small building for Gu Xu as a temporary residence.

This small building faces the pond and is surrounded by mountains and rocks, and is surrounded by plants such as spring, begonia, hibiscus, chrysanthemum, and plum, and the fragrance of flowers fills the air all year round.

That's why it was named "Seikakaku".

Under normal circumstances, this "Qingxiang Pavilion" is intended for guests with distinguished status, such as imperial relatives, sect leaders, and so on.

Because of this, Gu Xu's stay attracted the surprised and envious eyes of many monks in the Exorcism Division.

"This young man is just a Third Realm cultivator, why can he live in the 'Qingxiang Pavilion'?" Some people were puzzled by the arrangement of the head of the department.

"Because he killed a 'fierce god' level ghost and single-handedly rescued thousands of people in Qingzhou Mansion," someone next to him immediately explained, "This kind of thing, if you can do it, you can also live in it." ”

"A Third Realm cultivator can kill the 'Fierce God' with his own strength? Don't fool me. ”

"I didn't fool you. This Master Gu is the new owner of the 'Amazing Pen'. 'Shocking Pen' is one of the twelve famous weapons of the Great Wilderness, and it is the natal magic weapon of the Flying Immortals. I don't need to explain how strong it is. ”

"Oh, it's the owner of the famous weapon! That's fine. ”

"Also, I've heard others say that this Master Gu has also successfully cultivated that particularly difficult spell "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven". The head of the department has always praised his understanding. ”

"Alas, this man has a look, a understanding, and a famous weapon...... And I don't have anything...... What an injustice it is! ”

“……”

The discussion of the surrounding people naturally fell into Gu Xu's ears.

This made him sigh silently in his heart again: Rumors will always become more and more exaggerated in word of mouth.

He ignored the words.

After saying goodbye to Qu Jinglong temporarily, he walked into the "Qingxiang Pavilion" and closed the door.

So the whole world fell silent.

At this moment, Gu Xu was standing next to the window on the second floor of the "Qingxiang Pavilion", just in time to see the scenery of the entire Luojing City.

The sparkling Luoshui runs through the city like a smooth silk strip of turquoise.

On both sides of the river, houses are lined up one after another, and the streets are crisscrossed like a checkerboard lattice.

The wide "Heavenly Street" runs through the north and south, and the streets are full of people and traffic.

And at the end of the "Heavenly Street", there is the solemn and gorgeous residence of the Emperor of Great Qi - Zichen Palace.

Looking from afar, I saw its red walls and golden tiles reflecting each other, shining dazzling under the sun.

It seems to be an emperor wearing a yellow robe and a crown, standing in the most conspicuous place in Luojing City; The blue bricks and gray tiles of the houses next to it are like its subjects, prostrate and worship in front of it.

"What kind of secret is hidden under the glamorous appearance of Emperor Tianxing-not only makes the Kongxuansan people deeply jealous, but also makes the entire Lu family of Qingzhou lose their lives?"

Gu Xu looked at this heavily guarded palace, and couldn't help but have such a thought in his heart.

…………

After a while, Gu Xu sat down cross-legged on the bamboo mat next to the window, took out a small porcelain bottle, took a "Duerdan", closed his eyes, and quickly entered a state of cultivation.

His consciousness descended once again into the dark and lightless Netherworld, and continued along the path that led to the depths of the underworld.

The flowers on both sides of the Lethe River have all withered.

The sound of the waves of the river faded away.

The road beneath your feet is getting narrower and rougher.

And in front of him, a steep hill appeared.

On the top of the hill, there is a high platform, with a high winding railing, majestic and magnificent. The surrounding fog was shrouded in fog, as if towering over the clouds.

Gu Xu knew that this hill was called "Homesick Ridge", and this high platform was called "Wangxiang Terrace".

Legend has it that the ghosts of the underworld can look at their relatives in the yang world from a distance on the "lookout platform".

There is a poem: "The ghosts on the Wangxiang platform are in a hurry, and the eyes are in tears." Wives and children gathered coffins, relatives and friends gathered in the mourning hall. ”

That's what is described.

As long as you climb the "Wangxiang Platform", you can become a monk of the fourth realm.

However, the road to Wangxiangtai is very difficult.

There is only one stone path leading to the top of the hill, with a total of 4,999 steps.

On both sides of it, there are sword mountains and sword trees, and you can hear the sad and mournful screams of ghosts.

"Only by becoming stronger can we solve the problem at the root."

"Only by becoming stronger can you protect the people you care about."

"I'll be waiting for you at the 'Lookout Terrace'."

The white-haired boy's words echoed in Gu Xu's mind again.

Gu Xu took a deep breath and stepped onto the ancient stone steps.

Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, Level 4......

Suddenly, the ghost's cries turned into spiritual waves and rushed towards him.

Gu Xu's body shook and almost fell to the ground.

However, the medicinal effect of "Duerdan" quickly turned into an invisible force, supporting his body, stabilizing his pace, and making his consciousness clearer.

Level 5, Level 6, Level 7......

He looked determined and continued to climb.

The sun is sinking in the west, the sky is getting darker, and the bustling crowd on the streets of Luojing City is gradually dispersing.

Only Gu Xu's true yuan aura gradually climbed unconsciously.

…………

Yishui County, Exorcism Division Yamen.

Three days after the flood receded, Chen Jisheng finally woke up in the duty room.

A cool breeze blew in my face, carrying a damp fishy smell.

He slowly opened his eyes, and at a glance he saw Wang Yang, the little official guarding beside him.

"Lord Chen, you've finally woken up!" Wang Yang smiled in surprise. In his eyes, a noticeable redness appeared.

Chen Jisheng looked at this quiet and intact duty room and frowned slightly.

"Wang Yang, do you know where the 'Nine Baby Snake Demon' went?"

"It was re-sealed by the national teacher."

"What about the flood?"

"It's gone."

"What about the people trapped in the flood?"

"Some of them have unfortunately passed away, but most of them have survived," Wang Yang replied, "Now, the headquarters of the Exorcism Division has dispatched many cultivators to help us rebuild after the disaster, and their lives have gradually returned to normal. ”

"It turned out that the saint came to save us!" Chen Jisheng was thoughtful.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of a serious question: "So where are Gu Xu and Shi Xiaohan now?" Are they still alive? ”

"They are all alive and well in Luojing City."

Wang Yang said as he brought a document from the table next to him.

"Lord Chen, this is the latest report of the Great Qi Imperial Court. According to the official statement of the imperial court, this time the 'Nine Baby Snake Demon' broke the seal, which was actually the conspiracy of the legendary 'Third Fierce God' - the 'Third Fierce God' wanted to use the power of the 'Nine Baby Snake Demon' to obtain 100,000 souls as a sacrifice in order to promote the 'Ghost King'.

"Gu Xu is the hero of this incident. If he hadn't stopped the 'Third Fierce God' in time, I'm afraid that the entire Qingzhou Mansion would be in mourning. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Yang paused for a moment and took out two more envelopes from his pocket.

"Lord Chen, these two letters were sent to you from Luojing City. One was written by Gu Xu, and the other was written by Lord Langzhong Shangguan of the Headquarters of the Exorcism Division. ”

"Show me them all!" Chen Jisheng commanded lightly.

What Wang Yang said sounded too outrageous.

Without seeing the black and white words with his own eyes, Chen Jisheng couldn't believe it was true.

PS: I'm sorry, I've been too busy with work these days, and I often work overtime, so the update time is a little unstable (996 program ape tears), I hope you understand. Will try to adjust as soon as possible!
