Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 234 Learning New Spells

Next, Gu Xu learned from Luo Sishou's mouth that Shangguan Jin, He Yiqun, the younger brother of the national teacher enshrined by the Exorcist Division, and the eldest prince Xiao Shangyuan, had all tried to learn this "Star Array" spell, but the effect was not good. very good.

Shangguan Jin's natal star is "Tian Yue Xing", and most of the time she will call out other stars in the "Six Auspicious Stars", such as "Zuo Fu", "You Bi", "Tian Kui" and so on.

But because "Tian Yue Xing" has the attribute of peach blossom, she will occasionally summon "Red Luan Xing" or "Tian Yao Xing"-the former is about marriage, and the latter is about lust.

These two stars have no destructive power, but they will make the ordinary people around her indiscriminately fond of her, just like the ghosts will have a strong interest in Gu Xu's "spirit-calling body".

Because of this, this "star array" spell has caused her troubles many times. For example, a five-year-old boy in Nanyang Mansion once vowed that she would not marry him in the future; Send out an invitation to spend a good night with her; for example, an old lady who has lost all her teeth spends a lot of money to buy an elixir of rejuvenation in order to be with her for the rest of her life.

After experiencing these headaches, Shangguan Jin simply gave up the spell.

She likes to hold her destiny firmly in her own hands, and hates things that are full of randomness and need to fight for character.

…………

He Yiqun, the teacher's younger brother, is a casual person.

He lives in the world, has no ideals, no ambitions, only wants to pursue inner pleasure, roams around the world, looking for all interesting people or things.

He once came to Yishui County because he was curious about the new owner of "Jinghong Pen", just wanting to meet Gu Xu in person; Mountain.

Spells like "Star Array" with the nature of drawing blind boxes have undoubtedly successfully aroused He Yiqun's interest.

But not long after, he deeply felt that, as a monk with mediocre luck, he really shouldn't learn this spell.

After shaking hands with the enemy to make peace, he thought he could summon a "Tianliang Star" with auxiliary buff attributes to help him quickly recover his true energy, but he accidentally summoned the murderous "Breaking Army Star", causing the enemy Thinking that he was going back on his word, he had to bite the bullet and fight with the other party...

…………

As for the eldest prince Xiao Shangyuan, he came here a few years ago with a gift, and made a request in front of Luo Chuan, hoping to learn this profound and unpredictable spell.

He hopes to use this spell to prove his aptitude and ability, so as to get one step closer to the "Tai'a Sword" that symbolizes imperial power.

He once held the booklet in Gu Xu's hand, and retreated in the retreat room for more than a month, and he knew every word that Luo Sishou wrote on it by heart.

But later he discovered that the spell "Star Array" seemed to be mutually exclusive with the ancestral exercise "Dragon Heart Sutra" handed down by the Daqi royal family.

As long as he runs the true energy in his body according to the meridian path of the "Tianlong Heart Sutra", he will not be able to display the "Star Array" at all.

So he finally chose to give up.

…………

After hearing Luo Chuan's words, Gu Xu frowned slightly.

"Star Array" is indeed a powerful spell, but its shortcomings are also very obvious.

It depends too much on luck.

Like Shangguan Jin, Gu Xu also hopes to hold his destiny firmly in his own hands, instead of pinning his hopes on illusory luck.

"Gu Xiaoyou, the reason why they are influenced by luck is because they haven't mastered this spell yet," Luo Chuan noticed the change in Gu Xu's expression, and said with a smile, "But once you really understand the true meaning of the Dao, You can completely rely on your own will to summon the stars you want.

"At that time, you will be a commander, and Putian Xingdou will be your army. You can order troops and arrange troops at will."

Having said that, Luo Chuan stood up and asked Gu Xu: "Why don't I summon Sun Star and Lunar Star right now to show you?"

Gu Xu pondered for two seconds, then nodded.

He was indeed very curious about the real effect of the "Star Array" spell.

Luo Chuan smiled, recited a complex and lengthy incantation, and then waved his sleeves.

Immediately, two dazzling balls of light appeared beside him, slowly rotating around him in a specific trajectory.One of them is bright orange, exuding scorching heat; the other is cold silvery white, exuding a biting chill.

The temperature in the attic also changed from cold to hot - of course, because Luo Chuan deliberately controlled the strength of the true essence, the temperature change was not very drastic.

This made Gu Xu feel as if he was sitting next to the heater and turning on the air conditioner.

A few minutes later, with a thought in his mind, Luo Chuan terminated the "Star Array" spell.

The two orange and silver balls of light disappeared instantly.

The temperature in the house quickly returned.

"How do you feel?" Luo Chuan asked.

"Very powerful." Gu Xu replied seriously.

At the same time, Gu Xu inexplicably had a wonderful intuition: he felt that it might not be long before he could completely master this spell.

Luo Chuan's smile became brighter, as if Gu Xu's compliment made him very happy.

At this time, Luo Chuan suddenly noticed that the tea in Gu Xu's cup had cooled down a lot, so he planned to refill him a cup of tea, and at the same time asked Gu Xu: "Do you think this kind of tea tastes too bitter, it's not good Drink? Do you want to try another kind?"

Luo Chuan said that in his space magic weapon, there are various teas such as Dahongpao, Yinzhen, Maofeng, White Peony, Chrysanthemum tea, Jasmine tea, etc. There must be one that can satisfy Gu Xu.

Gu Xu was silent for two seconds, then declined politely with a smile.

He tried his best to get used to Luo Sishou's overly polite behavior, and at the same time told himself repeatedly to keep calm.

"I almost forgot an important question." At the end of the conversation, Luo Sishou suddenly raised his voice and said to Gu Xu, "Gu Xiaoyou, someone who has practiced the 'Burning Heaven Seven Styles' like you may I don't quite agree with my 'Way of Destiny'.

"But you don't have to worry about that.

"Because the true meaning of the Dao in the spell 'Star Array' comes from Emperor Ziwei at the North Pole of Zhongtian, it is vaster and deeper than my 'Way of Destiny'.

"You can feel it and digest it completely with your intuition. Perhaps in the near future, your understanding of it will far surpass mine."

…………

By the time Gu Xu left the small attic, it was already lunch time.

He crossed the backyard and walked straight towards the yamen kitchen.

"Hey, Gu Xu! You're here to eat too!"

Before he could reach the door, there was a petite girl running towards him along the long corridor—she looked like a small animal that had just jumped into the world in the spring, bursting out of her body. Vigorous vitality.

It was Shi Xiaohan who couldn't wait to run out of the library to have lunch.

Because she was running so fast, she almost couldn't stop the car, and almost bumped into Gu Xu's body.

Gu Xu had lingering fears about this.

This girl has terrifying brute force, but his own physical fitness is about the same as that of an ordinary person; if he really bumps into her...without using his true energy, the consequences will be disastrous.

Seeing Gu Xu's expression, Shi Xiaohan chuckled, slightly lifted his black robe, revealing his fair and slender ankles and small and delicate pale pink embroidered shoes, and said very quickly: "Sorry, these newly bought shoes are a little slippery for some reason. "Gu Xu, did I scare you just now?"

"It's okay." Gu Xu quickly regained his composure.

"I have two pieces of news to tell you. One is good news and the other is bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?" Shi Xiaohan seemed to be in a good mood today, playing the old trick with him.

"Bad news!"

"I've guessed that you would choose this way," Shi Xiaohan raised his face and looked at him, holding his hands in front of his chest, "The bad news is, I've had enough of staying in the Library Pavilion every day to endorse! Worse than being hungry!
"So, this female hero announced that she would give up competing for the post of 'Chief Registrar', and she no longer wants to be an official under the same roof as you."

"Oh, it does sound a pity," Gu Xu pretended to sigh, "What about the good news?"

"The good news is that someone told me this morning that I was recommended by the chief executive to go to Longmen Academy for further study," she said, with a happy smile on her face again, revealing her two pointed canine teeth, while holding her hands tightly together. Grabbing Gu Xu's sleeve tightly, "In the next nine months, I can still stay here in Luojing City, and I won't be forced to go home!"

The pair of bright almond eyes under the girl's slender eyelashes looked at his face at an elevation angle of 45 degrees, and there was a moving light in them, as if silently saying: It's great to continue to stay in the same city with you.

"That's really great!" Gu Xu also smiled.

He thought: Looks like she doesn't know that I'm the one behind this, that's good.

…………

After the meal, Gu Xu returned to the "Qingxiang Pavilion" where he lived temporarily, and began to learn new spells.

He first opened the notes on the second form of "Bright Candle" in "Seven Forms of Burning Heaven" written by the national teacher and his junior brother He Yiqun, and then read "The candle will eventually turn into ashes" several times.

He didn't immediately continue to turn the page, but closed the booklet.

Because he knows that things like high-grade spells can be understood by themselves, and try to understand them by themselves.

If you refer to other people's understanding, you may be more or less affected by other people's subjective ideas, and it is difficult to truly appreciate the most original true meaning of the Dao left by the creator of the spell.

——It’s like reading a book review or movie review before reading a novel or movie, you will inevitably have some preconceived ideas.

He stood up, took a shorter candle from a cabinet by the wall, and placed it firmly on the candlestick.

The scorching true essence flame shot up in his palm and lit the candle.

Perhaps because it was daytime, the light of the candles did not look very bright.

But Gu Xu's attention was all attracted by it.

He stood by the candlestick, watching the orange flames twirling and dancing like a dancing girl in a gorgeous dress, watching the candle shorten little by little, watching the wax drop drop by drop, and then condense into a solid wax block .

When the wick burns out, the flame goes out.

At this moment, Gu Xu finally understood the true meaning of "Bright Candle"——

Burn yourself and light up the world.

Only those who are not afraid of sacrifice have the power to change the whole world.

He closed his eyes.

His soul became a candle wick, his true essence became paraffin, and his will became a fire.

Three, two, one.

ignite!

He burst into raging flames, as if wearing a robe woven from flames.

The fiery high temperature spread around him, engulfing the entire room in an instant.

But he stood in the fire, safe and sound.

PS: Ask for a monthly pass!
