Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 118

"However, if I want to settle for second best and choose other spells that are not suitable for me, I am a little bit unwilling." Gu Xu said with a soft sigh.

That's the trouble with too many options.

What you get is never perfect.

And what is not available is always in turmoil.

When the headquarters of the Exorcist Division offered rewards, they always liked to stuff a whole catalog into the monks' hands, making them dazzled - isn't this a way to encourage the monks to work hard by drawing big cakes?
Seeing the serious eyes of the young man, Chen Jisheng smiled and said, "Gu Xu, do you remember what I said to you when I first taught you how to draw the 'Taishang Beiji Town Devil Killing Talisman'?"

Gu Xu replied without hesitation: "When drawing a talisman, you must abide by strict rules. If you draw a wrong stroke, the rune will not take effect."

"However, a few weeks later, you improved the 'Ghost Killing Talisman' according to your own ideas, making it several times more powerful than before," Chen Jisheng said in a relaxed tone, "Since then, I have I think that all spells in this world are just references for you.

"Gu Xu, your goal is to become a saint before the age of 30. And you also know that if you want to become a saint, you must find your own 'Tao' - when you have your own 'Tao', it will be regarded as the predecessor's. There really are hidden dangers in 'Tao', so there is nothing to be afraid of."

Gu Xu was silent for two seconds, then nodded: "Indeed."

Chen Jisheng was indeed his real teacher.

Although Chen Jisheng can no longer give him advice on practice as often as before, on this critical issue, he is able to help him clear the fog and recognize his original heart by virtue of his rich practice experience and life experience.

I saw Chen Jisheng smiled, and continued: "Actually, your eyes have already told me that you are very confident in this matter."

He knew that Gu Xu was a person with a steady personality.

But sometimes, stability means too many worries—it is these worries that make Gu Xu not look like a 17-year-old boy at all.

…………

After returning home, Gu Xu took out the "Shenji Token" and tried to contact Chu Fengge.

A moment later, a message from Chu Fengge appeared in his vision——

[Kun: Have you finally chosen the spell you want? 】

[Suzaku: Yes, Master Chu.I plan to choose "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven". 】

[Kun: "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven"?You want to choose that spell that no one has practiced for hundreds of years? 】

[Suzaku: I have made up my mind. 】

【Kun: Uh, alright... I'll go and tell Mr. Chief Si right now. 】

[Suzaku: Thank you, Master Chu! 】

…………

Luojing City, the headquarters of the Exorcist Division.

At this moment, Chu Fengge was practicing in seclusion in the retreat room.

Gu Xu's meditation was interrupted by the message sent by the "Shenji Token".

Chu Fengge sat cross-legged on the same spot, stunned for a long time, and said silently in his heart: Gu Xu, this kid, is really getting more and more arrogant-he got the "Jinghong Brush", thought he was great, and even wanted to try the challenge Known as the most difficult to practice in the headquarters of the Exorcist Division, "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven"?Who does he think he is?The reincarnation of a banished immortal?Zhenjun rebirth?
But at this time, Chu Fengge suddenly remembered that the chief executive had said that Gu Xu had an unprecedented first-grade talent and an extremely noble fate-this level of talent, compared with the reincarnation of a god, may be too much. Not much more.

So Chu Fengge sighed again, annoyed at why he was born in the same era as such an evildoer.

Chu Fengge, as the chief confidant of Luo Chuan, naturally had secretly read the "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven".

Because he knows that if he can successfully learn this spell, then he can stand in front of the world with his head held high, proudly declaring that he is "a rare genius" and "the number one pride of the Qi Dynasty".

Unfortunately, he was not the one favored by fate.

In his eyes, "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven" is a book from heaven that he can't read at all.

He really couldn't figure out why there were countless complicated runes in a fire attribute spell - just looking at it made people feel dizzy and uncomfortable.

So he decisively chose to give up before getting started.

At the same time, he often said to others: "Smart people are practicing swords, only fools can practice something as thankless as "Fen Tian Qi Shi"."

And Shangguan Jin sneered at him because of this: "Then you are worse than a fool."

Chu Fengge didn't take her words seriously.

Because he knew that Shangguan Jin had also secretly read "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven" in private, but she refused to admit it even if she was beaten to death.

…………

At this moment, Luo Chuan, the head of the Exorcism Department, quietly appeared beside Chu Fengge.

Chu Fengge immediately stood up from the ground, bowed his hands to Luo Sishou and said, "I've seen Mrs. Sishou."

Luo Chuan said indifferently: "Which spell did Gu Xu choose?"

Chu Fengge replied: "Seven Forms of Burning Heaven."

Luo Chuan was silent for a moment, then murmured: "This is indeed the most suitable for him."

"Why did Mr. Chief Si say that?" Chu Fengge asked.

"If anyone in this world can learn and understand the spell left by Chiyangzi, it must be Gu Xu," Luo Chuan replied lightly, "because he understands the way of talismans and formations, and he also practices fire. The cultivation method of attributes meets all the conditions for learning "Seven Forms of Burning Heaven".

"Besides, in the process of practicing, he never cared about the conventions or rules left by his predecessors. Although his practice is still shallow, he has the courage to dare to break the tradition."

Speaking of this, Luo Chuan paused for a few seconds, then turned his head and asked Chu Fengge, "Do you know the true meaning of the Dao hidden in "Seven Forms of Burning Heaven"?"

Chu Fengge shook his head, and answered honestly: "I don't understand."

He couldn't even comprehend the content of "Seven Forms of Burning Heaven", let alone comprehend its true meaning.

Luo Chuan sighed, and answered: "Actually, I don't quite understand what the 'Tao' Chi Yangzi pursued back then. I only know that the last form of the "Seven Forms of Burning Heaven" is called 'Sun and Moon' Change to a new sky'—I think, maybe this is the answer to the question, and it's also the reason why Chi Yangzi went crazy back then!"

Chu Fengge hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Master Sishou, if Gu Xu has practiced this "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven", is it possible for him to become obsessed like senior Chiyangzi in the future?"

Luo Chuan replied: "Chu Fengge, you have to understand that when Gu Xu is practicing any spells, he will never copy them mechanically, but will master them and turn them into his own. You should ask him more about this in the future." study."

"What the chief minister said is true." Chu Fengge lowered his head and said.

In this way, from today onwards, Chu Fengge has a "child from other people's family" in his life.

…………

Luo Chuan stood where he was, with a faint smile on his face.

As a seventh-level saint, he actually knows that the most important thing to choose a high-grade spell is to follow your intuition and obey your heart.

If you spend too much time weighing the pros and cons, the gains outweigh the losses.

Therefore, when Gu Xu chose to let go of his worries and face difficulties, he was very satisfied.
