Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 107 The first meeting with the chief
Sitting behind the table, Chen Jisheng silently read the latest mansion newspaper delivered by Cui Tianyou.

During this process, he frowned slightly, covered his mouth with a handkerchief from time to time, and coughed a few times.

The message printed on the first page of the residence newspaper was concise and eye-catching.

Its content is roughly as follows: On the night of October 23, 26rd year of Tianxing, Gu Xu, the exorcist department of Yishui County, and Chu Fengge, the doctor of the exorcist department, entered the haunted house of the Lu family in Qingzhou Prefecture together, and fought wits and bravery with the cunning ghosts in the haunted house. , launched a fierce confrontation, and finally succeeded in defeating the ghosts, restoring peace to the haunted house.

Moreover, the Di Bao also specifically emphasized that Gu Xu is the leader of this mission, and Chu Fengge is only supporting Gu Xu.

"This is unbelievable." Chen Jisheng thought silently in his heart.

He was not surprised that Gu Xu was able to solve such a complicated and dangerous haunting incident.

Rather, he thought that according to the extremely cautious character of taking care of Xu, it should be impossible for him to accept such a dangerous task.

"Could it be that Gu Xu was coerced by some important people, so he had to go against his will and enter the Lu family's haunted house?" Chen Jisheng made a bold guess and was deeply worried about it.

At this moment, Chen Jisheng's mentality was like that of an old father who was worried about his son - he would rather Gu Xu stay by his side and practice quietly, and he did not want him to be wronged outside.

"When that kid comes back, I must ask him carefully what happened that night."

…………

at the same time.

Gu Xu, Chu Fengge and Wei Jiusi, a thousand household in Qingzhou Prefecture, took the same carriage and returned from Lu's old house to the Yamen of the Exorcism Department in Qingzhou.

On the way, Wei Jiusi kept praising Gu Xu as a "young hero", "a great Qi Tianjiao", and "the mainstay of the future country".

In his opinion, Gu Xu's ability to solve the difficult evil spirit in the haunted house with a mere second-level cultivation base sounds even more exaggerated than the story told by the storyteller.

While listening to his praise, Gu Xu humbly said, "Master Wei is absurd."

In fact, Gu Xu really wanted to correct the other party - in that haunted house, what was really scary was not ghosts, but people.

But he also understands that according to the current situation, it is almost impossible for Tang Hui's crimes to be made public, and the Qingzhou Lu family will continue to bear the stigma of conspiracy and treason.

Gu Xu's twists and turns in Lu's old house can also be summed up simply as "a battle of wits and courage with evil spirits".

the reason is simple.

The person who convicted the Lu family back then was the emperor.

In the Daqi Dynasty, the emperor existed like a god, and it was impossible to make mistakes.

Even if he really made a mistake, it is impossible for him to admit it in public.

Inadvertently, Gu Xu's hand touched the pale pink flower note in his pocket.

"Actually, I really want to tell the world about Tang Hui's true colors," he thought silently in his heart, "after all, people in the world now call him a 'gentleman' and a 'righteous man'—this is a big deal for the Lu family who were persecuted back then. , It is extremely unfair to that poor girl and to the people who have been kept in the dark.

"It's a pity that now I have neither strength nor authority, and I am still worrying about my own life day and night.

"If you can't even 'be good for yourself', how can you talk about 'benefiting the world'?
"This matter can only be left as a thought for the future."

Thinking of this, he sighed silently.

As for Chu Fengge, he turned his head away and looked at the scenery outside the window without saying a word.

He didn't want others to see the depressed expression on his face.

Chu Fengge has always regarded himself as the number one in the world in the future - he never thought that one day he would become the foil of others.

But even so, he had to admit helplessly today that Gu Xu played a slightly bigger role than him in the Lu family's haunted house.

"Gu Xu, even if you barely win me once today," Chu Fengge clenched his fists and thought angrily, "I will definitely win back when I have a chance in the future!"

…………

Soon, the carriage stopped outside the gate of the yamen.

The officials in the yamen came to greet him one after another.

Wei Jiusi deliberately asked Gu Xu to get out of the carriage first, and followed behind.

At the same time, he also took the initiative to introduce Gu Xu to everyone: "This is Gu Jing, a genius monk from Yishui County. It was he who, with his courage and wisdom far beyond ordinary people, solved the haunting case of Lu's haunted house that has always troubled us. .”

All the officials looked at Gu Xu's excessively young appearance and found it inconceivable.

After all, even some third-level and fourth-level monks have stumbled in Lu's haunted house.

They really couldn't figure out what kind of means this uncrowned boy had used to defeat the weird and unpredictable ghost in the haunted house.

It's not because she looks good that she won the favor of the female ghost, right?
But Wei Jiusi and Gu Xu did not waste time here.

"Let's enter the yamen!" Wei Jiusi said, "The Chief Si is still waiting to talk to you."

After finishing his words, he took the lead to climb up the steps, walked into the gate, passed through the spacious and bright lobby, and then climbed up a small attic along a narrow and steep step.

Gu Xu and Chu Fengge followed closely behind.

On the floor of this small attic, there are countless obvious nicks, forming one after another complicated runes.

Gu Xu read through the classics, and naturally recognized it easily. This is the "communication circle" mentioned by Wei Jiusi earlier, which can be used to communicate with people thousands of miles away.

After a while, this "communication circle" glowed with milky white light, illuminating the whole room brightly.

"During the conversation, Mr. Si Chief only wishes to have the two of you present. I will not bother you." Wei Jiusi dismissed these words lightly, then turned and left.

Gu Xu and Chu Fengge stood where they were, and saw a clear figure gradually emerge from the light of the formation.

I saw that man wearing a crane cloak with gray hair, sitting upright on the stargazing platform of the headquarters of the Exorcism Division, looking like a god, with the aura of a master of Taoism.

This was the first time Gu Xu saw the appearance of a saint in the world.

In front of the saint of the seventh realm and the helm of the Exorcism Division, he dared not neglect him in the slightest.

"Xiaguan has seen Mr. Chief Si!" He immediately bowed his hands and saluted.

As soon as Gu Xu finished speaking, he saw the head of the department, Luo Chuan, stood up from the futon with a "bass", with a warm smile on his face, and said without airs: "Little friend, don't be too polite.

"Today, I just want to chat with you casually as an ordinary old man. As for the red tape in the officialdom, let's put it aside!"

Hearing this, Gu Xu couldn't help sighing: Mr. Chief Si is really approachable!It's completely different from the cold and cold image in the rumors!
After all, it was the first time Gu Xu met Luo Sishou.

Although Luo Chuan's performance surprised him a little, he wasn't too surprised.

However, at this moment, Chu Fengge stood there dumbfounded, and couldn't believe his eyes.

In Chu Fengge's impression, the chief executive has always been an indifferent and self-confident person—even if a saint like Daqi Guoshi and Jiange Pavilion Master made a special trip to visit him, he would not leave his seat and stand up to greet him.

Only the decree from Zichen Palace can make the Chief Si move his butt a little bit.

But now, Mr. Chief Si took the initiative to get up during a remote conversation with an eighth-rank sesame official, and he was so enthusiastic.

To Chu Fengge, it was like seeing a rooster laying eggs and a hen crowing!
"Master Sishou said that Gu Xu will become a very great person in the future," Chu Fengge thought to himself, "Could it be that he will become an existence beyond a saint in the future, and become the eighth person who controls the world like the emperor?" Zhenjun Jing? Even...surviving the catastrophe and ascending to immortality?"

Chu Fengge didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

He just felt that he needed to work harder, otherwise he would no longer be able to keep his title of "No. [-] in the world in the future".
