Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 194 Gu Xu, please enlighten me!

"The spell Gao Lang uses is "Thousand Jun Secret Art"—this is a middle-grade spell created by Dean Li of Longmen Academy," Qi Yan said lightly in Gu Xu's ear, "It can control people within a certain range. Or the magnitude and direction of the gravity of the object has a great restraint effect on warriors like Miss Shi who rely on absolute strength to fight."

Gu Xu nodded, frowning slightly.

He knew that Luojing, as the capital of a country, had many geniuses and strong people.

Although Shi Xiaohan was able to occupy the top spot in the list of meritorious service in Yishui County for a long time, but in Luojing City, which is full of talents, he was not outstanding enough.

He had already expected that her journey to defend the ring tonight would not be particularly smooth, and he had already been mentally prepared for it.

However, when he saw Shi Xiaohan walking down the steps in frustration, his mood was not as calm as expected.

The clear singing voice rippling on Luoshui again.

But the protagonist in the lyrics is no longer Shi Xiaohan, but Gao Lang standing on a high platform with his hands behind his back.

"The bright lights cover the moonlight, and the opera drums invade the bright hair. Famous teachers produce high-level apprentices, and the charm is the best in Beijing..."

Sing a song.

However, the leading singer walked out of the lamp tower and announced to everyone with a smile that the author of this poem was Xu Liangjie, editor of Hanlin Academy.

Under the effect of the amplification spell, everyone by the river heard her voice.

This made everyone watching the battle deeply astonished.

Because the editor Xu she was talking about was the second place in the most recent imperial examination, and he was also a well-known talent in Luojing City.

Born in a scholarly family, he was smart and eager to learn since he was a child, and he wrote many outstanding works at a young age; even Emperor Tianxing often called him into the palace to write poems and articles for sacrifices.

Logically speaking, there is no need for people like Xu Liangjie to use this method to become famous.

I didn't expect him to come here today to cheer for Gao Lang.

"It seems that Dean Li's apprentice is determined to make a splash tonight!" Shangguan Jin smiled and commented.

At this time, Shi Xiaohan finally passed through the dense crowd and came to Gu Xu's side.

She lowered her head and looked at her toes sullenly, her face no longer had the confident look of the past.

"He's too strong," she reached out and grabbed Gu Xu's sleeve, and said in a weak voice like a mosquito screaming, "I can't beat him."

"Sister Xiaohan, don't be too sad," Shangguan Jin next to her immediately bent down, looked at her face, and comforted her, "This Gao Lang is not only a fourth-level monk, but his spells can also restrain your sword skills. Losing to He's not ashamed."

"But I can't get the final reward..."

"It's okay." Shangguan Jin stretched out his hand and straightened the skirt for her, "If you really want that reward, my sister will go to the stage to help you clean up that bastard who bullied you, and then help you win the reward back .”

Shi Xiaohan looked up at her, hesitant.

At this moment, Gu Xu suddenly said lightly: "I'll go."

Shi Xiaohan, Shangguan Jin and Qi Yan all looked at him.

Shi Xiaohan's eyes were a little surprised: "I thought you wouldn't make a move on such an occasion."

Shangguan Jin showed a smile of interest: "It seems that I finally have the opportunity to see Gu Daoyou's demeanor."

Qi Yan didn't speak, but his eyes were full of anticipation.

Gu Xu reached out and touched Shi Xiaohan's head, and smoothed her slightly messy hair behind her ears: "I really don't like to fight with people in public, it makes me feel like I'm being watched in a fence Actor... But, who said that the reward is too tempting?"

Then he turned around, smiled slightly at the onlookers around him, and said, "Please make way."

…………

"Who is this man? He looks really good-looking."

"He seems to know the young lady just now."

"Miss Shi is from Yishui, and Lord Gu who saved Qingzhou Mansion is also from Yishui... Could this young gentleman be the legendary Lord Gu?"

"It's possible. I've heard others say that Mr. Gu is a beautiful man like a banished fairy. The appearance of this young man is also like a heavenly man."

"Sure enough, real masters always wait until the last moment to make their debut."

"..."

The cool wind blows slowly, and the water surface is sparkling.

Gu Xu walked through the crowd and climbed up the suspended stairs with his clothes fluttering and his gaze calm.

The noise of the crowd was getting farther and farther away from him, and the golden ring was getting closer and closer to him.

Gao Lang stood on the stage and looked at him, narrowing his eyes slightly.

As a direct disciple of the dean of Longmen Academy, he had seen Gu Xu's portrait a long time ago, so he naturally recognized Gu Xu's identity without any effort.

When Gao Lang stepped into the ring today, the person he most wanted to see was undoubtedly Gu Xu.

But when Gu Xu really appeared in front of him, he was still amazed at the other party's age and calm demeanor.

"Gu Xu of Yishui, please enlighten me!" Gu Xu stood still on the ring and slightly cupped his hands.

"I have admired your name for a long time!" Gao Lang bowed his hands and returned the salute.

Although Gu Xu's cultivation was one level lower than his, Gao Lang didn't dare to neglect him in the slightest in view of the various halos on the other party.

…………

The conversation between the two fell into the ears of the audience by the river.

Everyone stood on tiptoe, opened their eyes wide, and looked at the young man in the green shirt on the ring.

"It's really Mr. Gu! I didn't expect to see him here today!"

"It's a pity that I came late today and didn't get a good seat. It's so far away that I can't see his face at all..."

"..."

Before that, Gu Xu's reputation had already spread throughout the capital.

So the moment he announced his name, there was a commotion under the high platform.

The man's eyes were full of admiration, the woman's eyes were full of appreciation, and some even chanted his name over and over again, and the surging sound waves swept across the banks of the Luoshui River.

…………

With the sound of gongs and drums, the competition began.

Gao Lang recited the incantation again and performed the "Thousand Jun Secret Art".

The gravitational field around Gu Xu was quickly distorted.He felt that the ground seemed to be shaking, and he became top-heavy, as if he was standing on a small boat traveling in a turbulent river, and he would fall to the ground if he didn't pay attention.

Gu Xu didn't panic.

"Thousand Jun Secret Art" has a great negative effect on warriors.But for a monk like him who majored in talismans and spells, the impact was not very great.

With a thought in his mind, he took out the "Shocking Brush" from "Xianyunju" and performed the technique of "Wan Lai, Empty Silence".

There seemed to be pale ink gushing out from the tip of the pen, and then turned into white snowflakes, covering the entire arena in an instant.

Cold and desolate.

No make-up, empty powder, no tree alone, floating flowers.

The effect of "Thousand Jun Secret Art" no longer exists.

…………

Standing by the railing by the river, Shangguan Jin stared intently at this scene, took a deep breath, and sighed in his heart: Is this the power of a "famous weapon"?To be able to erase the spell of a fourth-level cultivator in an understatement?
At this moment, a familiar voice floated into her ears: "Little Jin, move over there to make room for the old man."

Shangguan Jin turned his head and opened his eyes wide: "My lord, why are you here?"

PS: Ask for a monthly pass!
