Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 180
Shi Xiaohan was in a coma and had nightmares again and again.

In the dream, the black altar was shrouded in gray mist, and the nine clones of Kongxuan Sanren showed neat smiles.

Gu Xu sat in the dark forest, practicing the "Forbidden Art of Zhaoming", his face was as white as paper, and his body temperature was as cold as ice.

"Don't practice this spell!" Shi Xiaohan saw himself rushing forward, clutching Gu Xu's sleeve tightly, "It will turn you into a man-eating ghost!"

But Gu Xu threw her hand away roughly, and said in a cold voice: "I am born with deficiencies, my bones are deficient, and I can only live to be 30 years old. But if I practice this "Forbidden Art of Zhaoming", I will and live forever.”

After finishing speaking, Gu Xu suddenly turned into a hideous and terrifying ghost.

Just like Pan Xiaopeng who went mad that day, his eyes were red and he had sharp fangs.

He roared and rushed towards her, pinning her to the muddy ground.

In the process, she originally wanted to drive her true essence to resist, but found that she was bound by an inexplicable force, unable to take any action at all.

At this time, the scene in front of him suddenly changed.

Shi Xiaohan found himself in a cemetery in the suburbs of Yishui County.

In front of her was a strange stone tablet with a familiar name written on it.

It was the word "Gu Xu".

And Chen Jisheng, the governor of the Exorcist Department of Yishui County, also suddenly appeared beside her.

He sighed softly, and said to her: "After all, Gu Xu was still taken away by God at this young age."

Shi Xiaohan stared blankly at the tombstone.

A thunderbolt rumbled through the sky, and the torrential rain fell.

She was wet all over, and instantly turned into a drowned rat.

The scene in the dream changed again.

She was sitting under the lush sycamore tree in her own courtyard, wearing pale pink embroidered shoes and a pleated skirt.

The cool wind blew, and the metal hairpin on her head jingled non-stop.

Her father, Shi Lei, was sitting beside her, with one hand on her shoulder, and said to her earnestly: "Xiao Han, you are already a grown girl now. I will tell you a good one. Darling, I believe you will be satisfied."

Hearing Shi Lei's words, Shi Xiaohan immediately shook his head repeatedly, put his hands on his chest, and retorted with his mouth curled up: "This heroine cares about all people in the world, and I don't want to be in love with my children! If you don't destroy ghosts, this heroine I swear not to have a family!"

"Don't rush to refuse," Shi Lei showed a mysterious smile on his face, "I promise, you will like the husband I found for you this time."

While speaking, he handed a portrait to Shi Xiaohan's hand.

The person in the portrait is tall and tall, with clear eyebrows.

I can't be more familiar with it.

It was Gu Xu.

"I'm just a pure friend with him, so I don't like him!" Shi Xiaohan denied without thinking.

"Since you don't like him, why do you work hard for him?" Shi Lei stared into her eyes and said seriously.

At this moment, Shi Lei's appearance suddenly changed, becoming Kongxuan Sanren wearing a blue Taoist robe, with a white beard and holding a whisk.

Only Kongxuan Sanren sighed softly: "Love is such a thing, it really makes people dizzy!"

Then he waved his whisk lightly.

Shi Xiaohan's body suddenly lost his balance, his head spun, and he fell backwards on the ground.

After that, pain, gray mist, blazing flames, and fiery air currents covered the dream world.

…………

After an unknown amount of time, Shi Xiaohan finally woke up from his dream.

She slowly opened her eyes, first she saw the exquisite painted beams and roof, and saw the dark blue silk curtains; then her eyes gradually moved down, and saw the window lattices carved with exquisite hollow patterns, and There are shatters of sunlight entering the house through the windows.

She found that she was lying on a soft bed, covered with an embroidered silk quilt, and there was the warm breath of the stove beside her.

But when she was trying to sit up from the bed, a sharp pain came from her body, as if her internal organs had been torn apart, causing her to grunt in pain, and her head fell on the pillow again .

"Miss Shi, you finally woke up."

At this time, a soft voice sounded in her ear.

Shi Xiaohan turned his head to look, only to find a wicker chair beside the bed, and a strange young woman was sitting on the wicker chair.

The woman was tall and slender, wearing a light green dress with simple patterns but well-cut, and simple silver jewelry.With delicate features and elegant temperament, she belongs to the kind of beauty that is not stunning but attractive.

"This... what is this place?" Shi Xiaohan asked.

"This is the headquarters of the Exorcism Department in Luojing City." The woman in the green skirt replied.

Shi Xiaohan blinked, feeling very surprised.

Before she fell into a coma, together with Gu Xu, she confronted that Kongxuan Sanren in the depths of Mount Yi.

But why did Yimeng wake up and come to Luojing City?
Where did Kongxuan Sanren go?

Did he successfully complete the promotion ceremony and become the "ghost king"?
And the most important question -

"Where is Gu Xu? Is he still alive?"

When talking, Shi Xiaohan turned his head left and right, looking around, as if he wanted to find Gu Xu in this room.

"I guessed you would ask about him," the woman in the green skirt chuckled and teased, "Miss Shi, when you were unconscious just now, you kept muttering his name, it seems that you care about him very much Your safety!"

I kept chanting his name in a coma?

Shi Xiaohan was stunned for a second.

In the past, when encountering such a thing, she would raise her chin and deny it without hesitation: "Hmph, how is it possible? You must be talking nonsense!"

But now, she did not refute the woman in the green skirt, but asked her impatiently, "Is he okay?"

"He couldn't be better," the woman in the green skirt replied with a smile, "he's not hurt at all, and he's talking face-to-face with our chief executive on the observatory.

"In this incident, he should take the lead. If he hadn't informed Luojing City in time, the entire Qingzhou Prefecture might have become a hell on earth.

"The chief minister has already asked the emperor for his reward. In my opinion, it is a certainty that he will be promoted this time."

Shi Xiaohan breathed a sigh of relief.

But at the same time, there are still many questions in her heart——

In her memory, Gu Xu had absolutely no power to resist in front of Kongxuan Sanren, so he could only follow Kongxuan Sanren's orders and was forced to practice the "Forbidden Art of Zhaoming".

What's more, Kongxuan Sanren also blocked the communication between Qingzhou Mansion and the outside world - the eldest prince Xiao Shangyuan and his entourage Fan Cheng tried many ways to ask for help from the outside world, but all were in vain.

She really couldn't understand how Gu Xu managed to deliver the news to the capital in such an extremely desperate situation.

"This is really incredible!" She sighed sincerely in her heart.

Although in her eyes, Gu Xu has always been a person who can create miracles, and has turned the so-called "impossible" into "possible" more than once.

But this time, he once again refreshed her understanding of him.

"So what's the current situation in Qingzhou Mansion?" Shi Xiaohan continued to ask the woman in the green skirt.

"Because Gu Xu delivered the news to Luojing City in time, the three saints, Chief Luo, Master Guoshi and Duke Yan, were able to rush to Qingzhou Mansion immediately," the woman in the green skirt replied, "The saints just arrived Arriving there, the Kongxuan Sanren had already fled without a trace.

"Then the national teacher used a more powerful sealing formation to re-seal the 'Nine Infant Snake Demon' underground; Yan Guogong tried to hunt down the escaped Kongxuan Sanren, but the result is still unknown; as for Mr. Si, Mr. Completely wiped out the spells of Kongxuan Sanren to block space and shield heaven.

"From now on, the name of the 'Third Fierce God' is no longer a secret that will be forgotten inadvertently.

"Besides that, it was the chief who brought you from the side of the altar to Luojing City."

Speaking of this, the woman in the green skirt paused for a while, then looked at Shi Xiaohan and said seriously: "When the chief executive found you next to the altar, you have already suffered serious injuries, and your meridians have been severely impacted by the true essence. Multiple ruptures occurred.

"It's a good thing it wasn't fatal.

"I've already fed you a healing elixir. In the past few days, you should lie on the bed properly, don't move around, and don't try to practice. After a week at the latest, your injury should be healed."

"Thank you..." Shi Xiaohan originally planned to thank the other party.

At this time, she suddenly discovered that she still didn't know the identity of the other party.

"Please...how should I address you, Your Excellency?" She asked a little embarrassedly.

"My name is Shangguan Jin, the 'hibiscus' of Mu Jinhua." The woman in the green skirt showed a soft smile on her face. "If you don't mind, we will be called sisters. You can call me 'sister'."

Shi Xiaohan was a little surprised when he heard the name "Shangguan Jin".

Because Shangguan Jin, as the confidant of the head of the department and a genius with excellent qualifications, has always been a famous existence in the Daqi Exorcism Division.

I didn't expect that someone like her would come to take care of herself.

"Thank you, Mr. Shangguan!" She said politely.

Shangguan Jin sighed softly: "Why is Sister Xiaohan so cautious? Just treat the headquarters of the Exorcism Division as your own home."

Shi Xiaohan did not respond immediately.

The room in the headquarters of the Exorcism Division was spacious and bright, but staying in this strange environment, she was obviously not as free as she was in Yishui County.

After hesitating for a moment, she asked Shangguan Jin a question in an expectant tone: "Gu Xu...will he come here later?"

"I'm not too sure," Shangguan Jin shook his head. "As soon as he came to his senses, he was called away by the chief executive. I don't know what will be told to him next."

Shi Xiaohan suddenly lowered her gaze, her clear eyes were covered by her long eyelashes.

Shangguan Jin looked at her pretty oval face, noticed the disappointment on her face, and couldn't help sighing silently: A handsome and outstanding young man like Gu Xu really has a fatal attraction for little girls!
…………

At the same time, Yishui County.

Using heaven and earth as paper and true essence as ink, Da Qi Guoshi drew a huge prison cage with a radius of hundreds of miles out of thin air, and sealed the "nine infant snake demon" that was raging in Qingzhou Prefecture into the ground in an understatement.

The cracks in the surface are gradually closing.

The raging fire and torrential flood disappeared in an instant.

Qingzhou Mansion returned to calm.

The scene in front of me was very similar to the scene eight years ago.

Wang Yang, a small official of the Exorcist Department, ran all the way to Yishui County after the disaster.

His mood at this time is very complicated.

Eight years ago, he was rescued by Mr. Zheng from the mouth of the "Nine Infant Snake Demon", but Mr. Zheng was buried in the belly of a snake with no bones left.

This time, he was picked up from the flood by Mr. Chen, but Mr. Chen went into danger again to save people, and his life and death were unknown.

"Master Chen, don't let anything happen to you..." While running, he prayed silently in his heart.

…………

Rocky City.

Headquarters of the Exorcism Division, Star Observatory.

Gu Xu had already changed into a clean black robe at this time, and sat on the floor on both sides of a low table facing Luo Chuan, the head of the Exorcism Division.

Chu Fengge stood quietly behind Luo Chuan.

I saw Luo Chuan lifted the exquisite white jade teapot on the table, poured a cup of fragrant hot tea for Gu Xu, and said in a calm tone: "This time, it is really thanks to Gu Xiaoyou."

Luo Chuan's actions shocked Chu Fengge once again.

In the past, Chief Luo has always been a self-confessed person—even if the sages of Daqi and relatives of the emperor came to visit, Chief Luo would not be able to pour tea for them, and at most let Chu Fengge or Shangguan Jin do it for him.

But now, he not only sits on an equal footing with a young junior who only has a second-level cultivation, but also pours tea for him himself!

This is unbelievable!
and many more!

Gu Xu seems to have broken through again!
Chu Fengge slightly squinted his eyes, took a serious look at Gu Xu, and clearly felt the genuine aura of true essence belonging to a third-level monk on his body.

It has only been three months since Gu Xu broke through to the second realm!

Is this really the breaking speed that normal humans can have?
Inadvertently, Chu Fengge remembered the words that the chief executive said not long ago: "That young man named Gu Xu is far more talented than you, and in three years at the latest, his cultivation will surpass yours."

Chu Fengge let out a long sigh, feeling that his dream of "becoming number one in the world" was about to be shattered.

But Gu Xu was not in the mood to pay attention to Chu Fengge's lost emotions.

He looked at Chief Luo, and asked straight to the point: "Lord Chief, what is the current situation in Qingzhou Prefecture? Is Yishui County okay now? Is Lord Chen safe and sound?"

Luo Chuan replied: "The 'Nine Baby Snake Demon' has been re-sealed by the National Teacher, and the flood in Yishui County has also receded. In this incident, more than [-] people in the entire Qingzhou Prefecture were killed. Of course, if it were not for you , this number is likely to double several times.

"As for Master Chen, who you care about the most, luckily, he is still alive.

"It's just that when he was saving people, he was affected by the breath of the 'Nine Baby Snake Demon', fell into the flood, and fell into a coma."

Gu Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

He was very fortunate that he interrupted Kongxuan Sanren's "Abduction" spell in time, and did not let Kongxuan Sanren finish his "tragic hero story".

Otherwise, Chen Jisheng is likely to give his life to save others under the control of "retrospective cause".
