Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 136
However, Gu Xu never cared about his ranking in "The Realm of Daoism".

In his eyes, "The Realm of Lun Dao" is like a free laboratory, which will continuously send mice of the same realm to help him practice and perfect various spells and martial arts.

This should be the original intention of the sages to create the "land of discussing the Tao" with amazing power.

After all, in the "Land of Discourse on Dao", even if he fails [-] times, he can still live safely.

But if it is in the real world, in the life-and-death fight with ghosts, as long as one mistake is made, it is very likely to die.

And Gu Xu has also gained a lot in the recent duels, and he has become more and more proficient in mastering spells such as "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven" and "Floating Catkins All over the City".

Now, there are only five days left until the day of gathering in Laizhou.

In order to win as much as possible the opportunities left by the immortals, and to save his life during the exploration of the Laoshan ruins, he must make sufficient preparations.

In addition, he also tried to collect information about the Laoshan ruins from various channels.

Gu Xu learned from the books that the owner of the Laoshan ruins, that is, the Kongxuan Sanren who ascended to immortality, was once a withdrawn and rebellious strongman.

He used to be an abandoned disciple of "Penglai Island", one of the three major sects of practice in Daqi, and was expelled from the sect for violating the sect's rules.

After that, he became an unorganized and unschooled casual cultivator. He spent decades creating brand-new exercises and spells, and found his own "Tao".

During this period, Kongxuan Sanren also had an earth-shattering life-and-death duel with the "fierce god"-level evil spirit, Wuwu, and finally succeeded in killing Wuwu, and left gracefully.

According to rumors, the "Tao" mastered by Kongxuan Sanren is the "Tao of Cause and Effect". It cannot be seen or touched, but it can kill people invisible.

Few people can accurately describe his means of fighting the enemy.

But as long as the name "Kongxuan Sanren" is mentioned, people's faces will basically show a look of awe.

At the beginning of the first year of Tianxing, that is, 23 years ago, Kongxuan Sanren crossed the robbery and became immortal in the Laoshan area of ​​Laizhou Prefecture, Jiaodong Province.

According to the description of the nearby monks, at that time, Mount Lao was shrouded in dark clouds, and rumbling thunder could be heard thousands of miles away.

And one after another bright electric light tore through the sky, like pale flames, pushing from the depths of the vast space, from beyond the eight poles, like swords hitting each other, like a landslide, splitting the entire sky. Fragmented.

"It was a scene like hell," those monks once narrated, "I am afraid that only a strong man like Kongxuan Sanren can survive the devastating thunder disaster." !"

…………

Before you know it, the old year is about to pass.

The wintersweet flowers in the exorcism office have already bloomed in the wind in the frost and snow, exuding a refreshing fragrance.

Officials of the Daqi Dynasty had three statutory holidays—the Spring Festival, the Summer Solstice, and the emperor’s birthday, the "Longevity Festival".

Among them, the Spring Festival holiday starts around the twentieth of the twelfth lunar month and lasts until around the twentieth of the first lunar month after the end of the Lantern Festival. Handle emergencies.

In fact, when the Daqi Dynasty was first established, officials did not have such a long holiday.

Because the Emperor Taizu, who was born in poverty, was an out-and-out workaholic-he often forgot to sleep and eat to deal with government affairs.This has officials complaining.

But his pampered descendants are not as diligent as he is.

Every new emperor will basically extend the holiday for a few days when he ascends the throne.

When the current emperor came to the throne, he was not only obsessed with cultivation and ignored government affairs, but also directly extended the Spring Festival holiday to one month.

…………

Therefore, in the past few days, the officials of Yishui Exorcist Department have bid farewell to Chen Jisheng, expressing their intention to go home and reunite with their families.

The first one to leave was the hunchbacked old man guarding the warehouse.

He claimed that his hometown is in Qingzhou Prefecture—although most of his family members have passed away long ago, he still wants to go back and visit their graves.

Chen Jisheng urged repeatedly: "Recently, there is a lot of yin around Yishan. It is said that it is because of the sharp increase in the strength of the snow girl. You must be careful, and you must take a detour if you can."

The old man was holding the cricket cage in his left hand, and the story books such as "The Oil Seller Monopolizes the Oiran" in his right hand, with luggage on his back, and nodded casually.

"Master Chen, don't worry," the old man said with a smile, "Although I am a bit older, I can still take good care of myself."

…………

The second person to leave was Cui Tianyou, who was in charge of the yamen's account books, money and food.

"Cui Tianyou, if I remember correctly, don't your parents live in Yishui County?" Chen Jisheng raised his head and asked with some doubts, "Why did you go home on vacation so early?"

Cui Tianyou smiled awkwardly: "Oh, well...my wife insists on asking me to accompany her back to her natal home for the New Year. Her parents live in Rizhao County. Mr. Chen, you know my wife's temper...I dare not refuse she……"

Cui Tianyou's "Tigress" wife has long been famous in Yishui County.

Chen Jisheng nodded, as if he agreed with his statement.

…………

The third person to leave was Ma Qin, the Yishui exorcist.

He also wants to go back to Qingzhou Mansion to celebrate the New Year with his relatives.

Before leaving, he specifically went to Gu Xu and asked, "Master Gu, do you know that there are young girls in Yishui County who don't go home during the Chinese New Year?"

Gu Xu frowned and said, "Why are you asking this?"

Ma Qin replied with a sad face: "Every Chinese New Year, those relatives in my family are keen to ask me if I have a wife. Once I answer 'no', they will laugh at me. So, I really want to pay for a girl Come home with me and pretend to be my daughter-in-law to silence those relatives."

Hearing this, Gu Xu smiled and shook his head: "Brother Ma, you have to understand that those relatives in your family just want to have fun during the Chinese New Year. Even if you do marry a daughter-in-law, they will find other reasons— —For example, the salary is too low, for example, I can’t afford a big house, so I come to tease you and look for a sense of superiority in you.”

"Oh, Mr. Gu, you still see it clearly," Ma Qin sighed, "Actually, I was just joking. I know that it is impossible for a girl to agree to such a thing.

"Master Gu, sometimes I really envy you - you are not only young and promising, but also popular with girls. If I have half your ability, I won't be unable to marry a wife..."

After all, Ma Qin also carried his luggage lonely and left the Yishui Yamen against the bleak wind.

…………

By the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, there were very few people left in the Yamen of the Yishui Exorcist Department.

The noisy voices of people on weekdays have disappeared.

The courtyard was deserted.

At this time, Chen Jisheng called Gu Xu: "You are going to Nalai Prefecture tomorrow, why don't we have a New Year's Eve dinner in advance? I just have a few important things to tell you."
