Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 21 Read more than ten thousand volumes, write like a god

"I've seen Lord Chu!" Under the leadership of Chen Jisheng, the officials of Yishui County bowed their hands and saluted Chu Fengge.

Chu Fengge held her head up and casually said "um" as a return gift.

His indifferent and arrogant expression, coupled with his bright and compelling face, gave him the feeling of being a master and lonely.

"Gu Xu, Ma Qin, are you there?" I heard him say coldly.

"I'm in a humble position." Gu Xu and Ma Qin stepped forward together.

Chu Fengge glanced at the two of them at random - a middle-aged man with a face full of vicissitudes, a young man with a stinky face, and there seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary.

So he waved his hand casually, called the two attendants to his side, and instructed: "Xu San, Wang Wu, this official has something important to do, and the next assessment will be arranged by you."

"The process is still the same?" the follower asked.

"As usual." Chu Fengge said lightly.

As he said before, two low-level ants competing for a trivial ninth-rank official position are not worthy of his personal attention.

He would rather spend his time on more meaningful things.

For example, trying to deal with a few well-known ghosts, so that his reputation as "peerless genius" and "the world's number one sword cultivator" resounded throughout the Daqi Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Chu Fengge stood with his hands behind his back, and asked Chen Jisheng in a relaxed and casual tone, "Do you know what the strongest ghost near Yishui County is?"

Chen Jisheng was a little confused and didn't know why Chu Fengge asked him such a question.

But he still replied respectfully: "I tell your lord, she is one of the 'three evil gods in Jiaodong', the Snow Maiden of Yishan."

Hearing the word "Ferocious God", Chu Fengge was a little cowardly.

Although he has always been arrogant and narcissistic, he is not stupid. He knows that "Ferocious God"-level evil ghosts can only be solved by masters like Lord Sishou or Daqi National Teacher.

He went to the duel by himself, no doubt to give the snow girl a head.

But he still looked calm, and then asked: "Where is the second strongest evil spirit?"

"The outskirts of Qingzhou Prefecture, Lu's haunted house," Chen Jisheng replied, "this haunted house is uninhabited, but it makes strange noises - the sound of silk and bamboo strings during the day, and the howling of ghosts and wolves at night. As of now, Qingzhou has None of the monks sent by the Exorcism Division to investigate the situation survived."

Chu Fengge thought silently: This sounds less scary than a vicious ghost, maybe I can try it.As long as I can solve this big case, I will be able to secure my title of "Young Generation No. 1"—Jiange Su Xiao, Youzhou Zhao Yan, and that stinky girl Shangguan Jin will never be able to catch up again my pace.Anyway, I have a magic weapon for protection from the chief, so I can escape even if I can't beat it.

I saw him chuckle and said: "I, Chu Fengge, have been defending demons for nearly ten years, and I have never been afraid of any ghosts. I will do what others dare not do. This Lu family's haunted house will be handed over to me. Fix it!"

"Master Chu is righteous! I admire it!" Ma Qin immediately flattered.

Afterwards, Chu Fengge raised her head to look at the sky and shouted loudly:
"Sword come!"

A long sword with a delicate shape came flying in response and hovered beside him.

Chu Fengge jumped lightly, stepped on the flying sword with both feet, and flew away in the wind, disappearing into the sky in the blink of an eye.

Everyone present looked up at the appearance of his flying sword, envy and yearning in their hearts.

The fourth realm master is so terrifying!
Besides, this Master Chu seems to be in his twenties at most—to be in the fourth realm at such a young age, his future achievements are limitless!

Maybe in a few years, the Daqi Dynasty will have another top powerhouse like the emperor, the national teacher, and the chief.

…………

Even if the chief examiner is not doing a proper job, today's promotion assessment will still be held as usual.

The first step is to examine the theoretical knowledge.

Because only two people participated in the promotion assessment, everything was kept simple and no special venue was arranged.

He simply placed two desks and two chairs in the yamen lobby, which looked lonely in the empty room.

All the idle personnel, including Chen Jisheng and Shi Xiaohan, were kicked out of the lobby.

In the lobby, only a few of Gu Xu, Ma Qin, and Chu Fengge were left to invigilate the exam.

Ma Qin sat in one of the chairs, rubbing ink stiffly, while trying to recall his past experience of killing ghosts in his mind.

But because he was too nervous, he just felt a blank space in his mind - he suddenly couldn't remember the many points that he had reviewed over and over with the lights on last night.

Inadvertently, he couldn't help turning his head and glanced secretly at Gu Xu next to him.

The boy had already polished his ink, and was leaning on the back of the chair and closing his eyes, looking relaxed and comfortable, and seemed not to panic at all.

This made Machin's psychological pressure even greater.

A quarter of an hour later, the bell rang.

The entourage officers distributed the tarpaulin-sealed roll bags to the hands of the two men.

The two of them opened their scroll bags, took out the question papers, and read them silently, but they were not allowed to write.

The lobby was silent, except for the rustling of the rain on the leaves outside the window.

Gu Xu opened his eyes and began to browse the question paper casually.

For him who has the talent of [Bow Wen Qiang Ji], the theory test itself is one of his most confident parts.

The dense text on the title scroll did not make him restless, but made him more relaxed.

Everything is under control.

When the bell rang for the second time, the two began to write and answer questions.

"You have time for a stick of incense." The invigilator's entourage said in a cold tone.

Hearing this, Ma Qin's heart skipped a beat, and he was inevitably a little anxious.

A stick of incense lasts about half an hour.

It was quite difficult for him to finish this nine-page question paper in half an hour.

He fixed his mind, turned the paper back two pages, and decided to choose simple questions to do within the limited time.

Gu Xu, on the other hand, was not in a hurry and continued to read the questions carefully from the beginning, step by step.

Anyway, in his opinion, every question is about the same difficulty.

The first question of the ink roll is as follows:
"Please describe the characteristics and weaknesses of the cat lady."

Gu Xu thought for two seconds, raised his pen and wrist, and wrote down the answer seriously: "Mao Rong is like an old woman with the head of a cat and a 'wild ghost'. She feeds on young children and has a third eye on the top of her head. kill it."

Then he looked at the second question:
"Why Tongren?"

He thought for a while, and wrote: "A monster transformed by human eyes."

Question [-]: "Please state the origin of the ghost 'Meng Shuang'."

Gu Xu replied: "In ancient times, there were brothers and sisters who got married, were exiled to Kongtong, and died embracing each other. Their bodies were nourished by yin, and they were born together seven years later, turning into two-headed, four-handed and four-legged monsters named 'Mongolia'."

Question [-]: "Please list three ways to get rid of the immortality of ghosts."

Gu Xu replied: "The fire of the monk's true essence; the metal with the properties of the sun; the special talisman that can borrow the power of the sun, moon and stars."

……

Reading break rolls, getting a God.

Gu Xu's colleagues often say that Gu Xu has a library in his mind - there is very little knowledge that he does not understand in terms of cultivation and dealing with ghosts.

But when doing questions, Gu Xu felt that his brain was more like a search engine.

As long as you enter the question and swipe it, the answer will come out naturally, and you don't need to think about it deliberately at all.

So he felt more and more relaxed.

Accompanied by the sound of the rain outside the window, the tip of his pen began to dance on the white paper, sketching out stretched and graceful line characters.

Just like how he draws talismans on weekdays, it is freehand, casual and free and easy.
