Chapter 63: The National Teacher

Princess Zhaoning narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at Gu Xu from head to toe, and then said with a smile: "Jin Yangzi, I hope you can play your true level, don't let this palace and the saints down!" ”

Gu Xu nodded yes.

A few minutes later, Luo Chuan, the head of the Exorcism Division, also arrived at the Longmen Academy.

As usual, he was dressed in a crane and his hair was loose, looking free.

And behind him, only one entourage of Shangguan Jin followed.

In fact, today, Chu Fengge originally wanted to follow Luo Sishou all the way.

Before he was thirty years old, he had successfully advanced to the Fifth Realm—something that few people had been able to do since the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty for more than 400 years. Therefore, he wanted to take this opportunity to show off his cultivation realm to the monks of Longmen Academy.

However, at this time, Shangguan Jian suddenly said to him with a smile on his face: "Lord Chu, I didn't expect you to be interested in Master Gu's talisman technique. ”

Hearing her words, Chu Fengge immediately realized: Even if he was appreciated and envied by the people around him with his cultivation in the Fifth Realm, today's protagonist could only be Gu Xu and his competitors.

Once Gu Xu defeats his opponent and stands out, then the eyes of the audience will be focused on Gu Xu - in this way, no one will notice his insignificant little supporting role.

Chu Fengge had long had enough of this feeling.

In order to avoid another blow to his mentality, he chose to stay in the yamen, cultivate with his head bored, and ignore what was going on outside the window.

The appearance of Luo Sishou once again caused a sensation among the academy crowd.

The impression left by Luo Chuan, the head of the exorcism division, in the minds of everyone, is that he is a wise man who "strategizes and decides thousands of miles away". He rarely leaves the Yamen, the headquarters of the Exorcism Division, but with the help of the mysterious and powerful Heavenly Deduction Technique, he solves problems thousands of miles away.

Everyone thinks that what Luo Sishou pays attention to on weekdays is the starry sky of the universe, the avenue of heaven and earth, and the survival and decline of the Great Qi Dynasty.

He had never attended such a major event as the handover ceremony of the dean of the college before.

I didn't expect him to come to Longmen Academy in person today to pay attention to the competition between several talismans.

Why is that? Is it because there is a junior of the Exorcist Division today? ”

Everyone's eyes fell on Gu Xu.

After the head of the division arrived, the Great Qi National Division followed.

Since the National Teacher is the honorary president of Longmen Academy, most of the teachers and students of the academy are not very strangers to him.

However, when Gu Xu saw the appearance of the national teacher, he was a little surprised.

As a saint of the Seven Realms and a master of Fu Dao, the national teacher has always been regarded by Gu Xu as the goal of his life.

In his imagination, this strong man who used heaven and earth as paper and true yuan as ink, and sealed the "Nine Baby Snake Demon" without much effort, should be like Luo Chuan, looking like a fairy and full of superior demeanor in his gestures.

However, in reality, the Great Qi National Master is a middle-aged man with short stature, dark complexion, and ordinary appearance.

It's not like a practitioner who enters the Tao with a talisman, but more like an old farmer working in the countryside.

If you change the long shirt on his body to a short outfit, and let him wear a straw hat and hold a hoe, and let him stand in the field and hoe, there is no sense of disobedience at all.

"Sure enough, the painting style of each saint in Daqi is different!" Thinking of Zhao Changying, the Duke of Yan Guo who was on the stargazing platform of the Exorcism Division headquarters, who was open and drinking in a big bowl, Gu Xu couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart, "I don't know what Master Jueming of Lingshan Temple and Sword Pavilion Master Xu Man looks like." ”

Luo Sishou walked to the side of the steps, stopped, and did not step forward to greet Gu Xu, but just glanced at him faintly, maintaining a cold and mysterious image.

On the contrary, the Great Qi National Master had a warm smile on his face, and walked to Gu Xu's side without any sham: "Are you Gu Xiaoyou of the Exorcism Division?" ”

"It's me, Master Guoshi." Gu Xu replied politely.

"After the Qingzhou Mansion incident, I looked at the runes you drew on the 'Divine Machine Token'," the national teacher smiled kindly, "I have to say, your idea is very good, you can actually transform the 'Burning Sky Seven Styles' left by my master into a rune array, which can be used to crack the spell of the Void Xuansan people to shield the heavenly machine."

"This kind of thinking is not even possible for me to imagine, let alone engrave it on the 'Divine Machine Token' at that critical moment.

"Now that the 'Long Night' is approaching, Your Majesty is in great need of a talented and courageous person like you to help the Great Qi Dynasty tide over the difficulties.

"You may not know it, but I recommended you to be a 'guest teacher' at Longmen Academy, and the original intention was to hope that you could share some experience in drawing talismans with the academy's talisman sect - in this way, we may be able to have more confidence when facing the 'long night'.

"It's just that your qualifications are too young to convince the public, so the cabinet has arranged a face-to-face rune competition for you, which requires you to use your own strength to calm down all doubts.

"I have a lot of trust in your strength. Don't let anyone doubt me! ”

Gu Xu nodded again and again, saying that he would definitely do his best and would definitely not disappoint the National Teacher.

He felt that this Great Qi National Master was a straightforward person - he spoke straightforwardly, never concealed it, and did not think about whether his words would offend others.

At this time, Gu Xu's competitors stayed by the side, but the national teacher bluntly said, "The person I recommend is you."

In addition, from the words of the national teacher, Gu Xu also felt that the other party was a person who was always worried about the country and the monarch.

He worries about the long night ahead, and promotes talent in an eclectic way.

He himself is the honorary president of Longmen Academy.

But he ignored some potential contradictions between the Dragon Gate Academy and the Exorcism Division, and asked an official of the Exorcism Division to teach the students of the Dragon Gate Academy.

It's as if in his eyes, all human feelings and sophistication, all the unspoken rules in officialdom, do not exist.

Unconsciously, Gu Xu thought of the understanding of the "Bright Candle" spell written in the notes of the Great Qi National Master - "Do your best, and then die", "Burn yourself, benefit the world".

He felt some admiration.

"Fortunately, the national teacher is a saint of the seventh realm, so he doesn't have to worry about others taking action against him," he thought to himself silently, "Otherwise, with his upright temperament, I'm afraid he would have offended the entire Great Qi officialdom long ago!" ”

When Gu Xu was talking to the national teacher, Luo Chuan's face was still calm and calm, without the slightest change.

But Shangguan Jin, who was standing behind him, vaguely felt that the air around Luo Chuan seemed to be getting colder.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from not far ahead: "Sorry, I'm late." ”

ps: Sorry for the slow hand speed, this chapter is still a little late qaq for a monthly pass!

ps2: Some book friends have asked "Why doesn't the head of the division let the national teacher accept the protagonist as an apprentice", and now everyone should know the answer!
