Chapter 52: The Reward of the Head of Rose

Hearing Luo Chuan's words, Chu Fengge bowed his head slightly and responded, "Thanks to Lord Si Shou's teachings in the past. ”

He didn't look pleasant.

It stands to reason that comprehending new martial arts moves is a very worthy thing to celebrate. But Chu Fengge didn't want to admit it, it was Gu Xu's words that made him suddenly understand the true meaning of the avenue of "Xiaoying Wanyue".

Luo Chuan saw all of Chu Fengge's careful thoughts.

He smiled and said, "I've told you many times before that if you want to master high-grade martial arts, you can't just practice hard enough. Many times, you have to be ashamed to ask others for advice. ”

Chu Fengge lowered his head and stopped talking.

He originally thought that after he was promoted to the fifth realm, he would be able to hold Gu Xu down steadily, and he would no longer be covered by the other party's light. But he didn't expect that even if he was two realms ahead of Gu Xu, he was still just a green leaf.

At this time, Luo Chuan waved his hand, conjured a scroll out of thin air, put it on the wooden table, and pushed it in front of Chu Fengge.

"I said earlier that if you can successfully complete today's trial, I will give each of you a reward," he said, "Chu Fengge, this scroll is for you. ”

Chu Fengge took the scroll.

The moment his fingers made contact with the scroll, a stream of information rushed into his mind along his nerves.

So he knew that this scroll was a spell called "Fury".

It can stimulate the monk's physical potential in a short period of time, improve the purity of his true element, so that the monk's combat power can be temporarily greatly improved, and even have a chance to defeat enemies with higher realms.

But its side effects are also obvious - for the duration of the "rage", the monk's true essence will be quickly overdrawn; After its effects have ended, the monk will become extremely weak, and even leave serious hidden dangers in the body.

Because of this, ordinary monks rarely use it unless they are driven to a dead end.

But Chu Fengge has the talent of "weeds", which can quickly repair his body and restore his true yuan, as long as he can't kill him, he will be able to jump alive after a while.

Naturally, the negative impact of "rage" on him will be reduced to a very low level.

Chu Fengge sincerely thanked Luo Sishou.

One of the things that made him feel most aggrieved in the "Old Pot of Warmth" today was that he was trapped in the dark swamp by the "Lord of Yelang Country", unable to break free and unable to resist, causing him to lose face in front of Gu Xu and Shangguan Jin.

"When I learn this 'rage', I may be able to fight against a 'fierce god' level ghost like the 'Lord of the Yoro Country'!" Chu Fengge thought to himself with anticipation.

His temperament has always been to heal his scars and forget the pain. When he held this scroll firmly in the palm of his hand, he suddenly felt confident that he was the first in the world in the future.

Subsequently, Luo Chuan conjured up a yellowed pamphlet out of thin air and put it in front of Shangguan Jin.

"Hibiscus, I know you've been very interested in witchcraft in the wilderness of Southern Xinjiang lately," he said, "and all my knowledge of it is recorded in this booklet. Hope it helps you. ”

"Thank you, Lord!" Shangguan Jin smiled and thanked politely.

Unlike Chu Fengge, who focused on improving his strength, Shangguan Jin liked to learn about and learn all kinds of bells and whistles and combat techniques.

Others thought she was a skilled sword cultivator, but she was the most brilliant physician in the Yamen of the Exorcism Division's headquarters; Others think she is a doctor who saves lives, but she knows all kinds of poisons and can kill people invisibly.

In addition, she has a general understanding of talismans, pills, refining weapons, witch Gu and other related knowledge.

If Chu Fengge is a martial artist in the competitive ring, he is keen on fair fights, and he is determined to defeat all his opponents in a dignified manner and make his reputation spread all over the country. Poison and the like, he always scoffed.

Then Shangguan Jin is like a killer hidden in the dark - she has no obsession with fame, and she never cares whether her actions are above board. As long as she can achieve the goal, she can use any means.

Before, when she accompanied Gu Xu to the courtyard in Zhengpingfang, the "Heart Gu" hidden in the master of the courtyard, businessman Yang Changfu, left a very deep impression on her.

Not only can it subtly influence a person's thoughts, but it can also be controlled remotely and engage in mental combat with enemies.

In addition to the "Heart Gu", she had also heard that there were mysterious and terrifying Gu worms such as "Crazy Gu", "Lice Gu", and "Stone Gu" in the southern Xinjiang region of the Great Qi Dynasty. Some of them can cause madness, some can devour people's internal organs, and some can change a person's personality without realizing it.

"If I master these Gu techniques, then in the future, when facing a powerful enemy, I will be able to have one more way to deal with it." Shangguan Jin took the booklet into his arms and thought to himself silently.

…………

Gu Xu sat quietly on the side, looking at Shangguan Jin and Chu Fengge happily accepting their rewards.

He was very curious at this time, what would the Master of the Division give him - a brand new spell? Or will he pay off the money he owes on the house as he had hoped?

However, the head of the department suddenly changed the topic at this time.

"Can you see that the trial in this 'Old Pot' is a little different from the previous ones?" He looked at the three people in front of him and asked with a smile.

"The goal of this trial is not to kill a powerful ghost, but to find out the truth of a case," Shangguan Jin thought for a moment and replied, "Our real enemy is not a ghost, but a person. ”

Luo Sishou nodded: "That's right. ”

At the same time, he waved his hand lightly, and a delicate white jade teapot and four small teacups appeared out of thin air on the low wooden table. The teapot was filled with hot tea, with a faint fragrance, permeating the small attic.

He picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea for Gu Xu first, and poured the second cup for himself.

Chu Fengge stared at the movements of Luo Si Shou's hand with antiquation, thinking that he had the opportunity to taste the tea poured by the Si Shou himself today.

Unexpectedly, Luo Chuan put the teapot back on the table and said lightly: "If you want to drink tea, do it yourself." ”

Chu Fengge's expression suddenly froze on his face.

As for Shangguan Jin, he glanced at Gu Xu enviously and thought: Is this the treatment that only geniuses who play bad "Tianyan Stone" can have?

Luo Chuan picked up the teacup, took a sip of fragrant tea, and said in a calm tone: "In most of the cognition of the Great Qi Dynasty, the relationship between the human race and the ghosts is like that between cats and mice, which are absolutely opposite and cannot coexist. Ghosts hunt cannibals in order to fill their stomachs, and the Terrans embark on the path of cultivation in order to survive and fight hard.

"Either you die or I live."

"I think so too." Chu Fengge interjected.

Luo Chuan ignored him.

He paused for a moment, then continued, "However, you should also know that there are many human races and ghosts, and there are many strong people. The human race has His Majesty the Emperor, the 'Five Sages', and the ghosts and monsters also have the Kongxuansan people, and the 'Ghost King of the Mountain'...... It is almost impossible to completely eliminate the other party.

"Also, unlike wild beasts, humans and goblins are intelligent species.

"The ghosts of the 'evil spirit' level and above all possess wisdom no less than that of the human race. They will lie, they will do all kinds of spells, they will play tricks...... Even because of their long lifespan, sometimes even the wise men of the human race are ashamed of themselves.

"I think maybe it's because both of these groups are so smart that it's hard to be completely twisted together.

"The sheep will only follow the leader, and the bees will only obey the queen bee...... But people and ghosts are not the same. Intelligent races like this have too many ideas of their own.

"They will kill each other for survival, and they will fight in their own nests for resources, for profits, and so on. When their internal contradictions outweigh their external contradictions, they are likely to choose to cooperate with their natural enemies and thus gain their own interests in the community.

"So, through this trial of the 'Old Pot', I hope you can understand that this world is not black and white. It's more complicated than you think.

"There are times when we need to watch out not only for goblins, but also for our own kindred."

The three of them silently listened to Luo Sitou's words, and nodded yes in unison.

But they have different ideas in their minds.

What Chu Fengge thought was: As long as I am strong enough to become the number one in the world in the future, then neither ghosts nor my own clan can pose a threat to me.

What Gu Xu thinks is: no matter what you do in the future, you must be cautious, cautious, and cautious.

What Shangguan Jin thinks is: I want to master more means, strive to see the six ways, listen to the eight directions, gain insight into the thoughts of the people around me, and be the first to strike.

A brief silence followed.

The sun gradually climbed to the zenith.

Sunlight shines through the lattice, through the south window, and the spots of light that fall on the ground move slowly, becoming brighter and brighter.

After a while, Luo Sishou said to Chu Fengge and Shangguan Jin, "You guys go and do your own thing first!" I still have some important things to talk to Gu Xu about alone. ”
