Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 236 The White-haired Boy and the "Dreaming Epiphany Method" (September Monthly Pass Plus!)
After comprehending the "Bright Candle", Gu Xu did not go on to study the "Star Array" given to him by the chief executive, but took advantage of the slight fluctuations in his emotions, closed his eyes, and swallowed the "Du Er Dan" , simply and neatly entered the cultivation state.

He spent an afternoon climbing more than 80 steps on the "Homesick Ridge".

On the mountain road leading to "Wangxiang Terrace", there are a total of 99 steps.

Now Gu Xu is standing on the 720th step.

At first glance, it seems that his "climbing" speed is very fast. It seems that according to this progress, he will be able to reach the top of the mountain in a few weeks.

However, climbing "Homesick Ridge" is not a uniform motion.

The more you go up, the greater the resistance, the steeper the mountain, the more dangerous the road, and the easier it is to get lost under the illusion.

When the sun went down, Gu Xu breathed a sigh of relief and slowly opened his eyes.

At this time, the stars are already twinkling in the sky.

He sat down at the desk, opened the booklet about the "Star Array" spell, and began to read carefully under the light of the stars and candles.

On every page of the booklet, there are densely packed text and complex starry sky patterns——Luo Chuan has recorded hundreds of possible arrangements and combinations of the "Star Array" with a very rigorous attitude.

These contents are undoubtedly very dizzying.

If it were a monk with a little less comprehension, he might have already fallen asleep during the reading process.

But Gu Xu's expression was extremely focused.

He felt that learning "Star Array" by himself was almost effortless.

In the process of turning the pages of the book, knowledge poured into his mind continuously like water from a faucet, and there was no need to stop and spend energy to ponder it carefully.

"It seems... I learned the high-grade method created by Luo Sishou very quickly." Unknowingly, Gu Xu suddenly realized an important problem, "For example, the footwork of 'Meteor Walking the Moon', when Shangguan Jin is in the After I used it once in front of me, I learned it; for example, the 'Yunhai Xinghe Sword', I just took a look at it, and I realized its true meaning; and this 'Star Array'... I have almost found the feeling up.

"Although I don't really like Chief Luo's 'Way of Destiny', for me, the spell he created is the easiest to learn.

"It is far from easy for me to learn other spells - I once wrote [-] Tang poems silently in order to study the 'Jinghong Brush'; an hour.

"Even for mid-level spells like 'solar eclipse', it took me an hour to practice it... It's not like 'meteor walks the moon', which can be learned at a glance.

"Why exactly?"

Gu Xu frowned slightly.

He remembered Luo Sishou's attitude towards him, and wondered if it had something to do with his fate.

At this time, a melodious bell suddenly came from outside the window.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The lingering sound lingers on the beam, echoing endlessly.

Gu Xu knew that this was the bell used by the Exorcist Division to tell the time, and it would ring once every hour.And it sounds now, which means that the time of Hai has arrived.

After the bell was completely silent, a soft sigh came from behind him.

"Someone broke in!"

Gu Xu suddenly became alert.

When he entered the "Qingxiang Pavilion", the door was already locked.In addition, there is a formation restriction in the "Qingxiang Pavilion".It stands to reason that it is impossible for someone to break in without authorization.

He frowned and turned around, only to see an unexpected figure.

A handsome young man with sword eyebrows and star eyes is sitting cross-legged on the mat that Gu Xu sat on when he was practicing just now.

He has the same face as Gu Xu, but his hair is white—not the haggard grey-white of old people, but pure and lustrous silver-white, like flowing silver or a solidified galaxy .

However, there were no nails or wounds on his body, only a gorgeous and exquisite black robe, embroidered with patterns of stars and cloud dragons in gold thread.

"Why are you here?" Gu Xu wondered, "Didn't it be agreed that we will meet on the 'Wangxiang Terrace' in the future?"

The white-haired boy didn't speak.

He smiled at Gu Xu, then slowly stood up from his seat.

At this moment, a powerful aura suddenly emanated from him—as if he had suddenly changed from a gentle boy next door to a king who ruled all living beings on a high seat.

All the candles in the "Qingxiang Pavilion" were extinguished.

In the stillness of the night, the white-haired boy began to chant the mantra softly.

For ordinary people, this spell can be regarded as obscure and difficult to understand.

But Gu Xu could easily hear that he was reciting the names of the stars in the sky.

Whenever the white-haired boy reads a name, a star will fall from the sky, enter the "Qingxiang Pavilion" through the window, and then transform into a silver-white fuzzy figure, crawling obediently in front of the white-haired boy.

The closest to him are "Zuo Fu" and "You Bi", followed by "Tian Kui" and "Tian Yue", and then "Wen Chang" and "Wen Qu".

The white-haired boy recited a total of [-] names.

One hundred and seven gleaming figures appeared in the room—they gathered in this small "Qingxiang Pavilion", and they didn't look crowded, as if the space had been distorted.

After a while, the white-haired boy waved his hand.

These figures turned back into stars, flew out of the window, and returned to the vast sky.

…………

Gu Xu suddenly sat up straight from the chair.

It was like walking through a black tunnel and returning to reality.

He felt at this time, as if he was drowsy in the high school class in his previous life, his consciousness was half-dream and half-awake, and all kinds of wonderful hallucinations appeared in front of him-then the head teacher came to him, smiled and patted Pat him on the shoulder.

The candles in the house were still burning and had not been blown out.

"It turns out that everything that happened just now was just a dream!" Gu Xu thought silently, "I didn't expect that I would accidentally fall asleep in the process of learning spells one day..."

He lowered his head, and his eyes once again fell on the booklet in front of him.

Then he was surprised to find that he had almost completely mastered the spell of "Star Array" after a night of sleep.

Before that, the content in the booklet was difficult for him in junior high school mathematics—although it was not particularly difficult, it still required some effort to think and understand.

Then after he woke up from the dream, the above content became the difficulty of single-digit addition and subtraction—or it became a simple common sense of life. He didn't need to learn it specially, and he could master it naturally.

Of course, in the eyes of others, "Star Array" may at least be difficult for advanced mathematics.

"Could this be the new epiphany method?" Gu Xu laughed at himself, and complained in his heart, "After the 'poem writing epiphany method' and the 'experiencing life epiphany method', there is also the 'dream epiphany method'?
"Also, who is that white-haired boy? Is it true that he is another me in the depths of his soul as he said?

"And he actually demonstrated the 'Star Array' spell to me in the dream?
"..."

This question was too complicated, and Gu Xu couldn't figure it out for a while.

He closed the booklet, stood up, and walked to the place where the white-haired boy was standing just now.

Then he looked into the boundless starry sky and softly called out the name of a star - "Tianshou".

This star is blessed with longevity.

It can be said that this is Gu Xu's favorite star at present; and with his real energy at this time, he can only summon one star at most.

However, the moment the name "Tianshou" came out of his mouth, it turned into a complex and difficult incantation.

Although the incantation was long and obscure, it was very fluent in Gu Xu's mouth, as if it existed in his innate memory.

His true essence quickly condensed into a silver-white light cluster.

It's not big, and it's not dazzling.

But Gu Xu thought it looked very pleasing to the eye.

He knew that although the attack power of "Tianshouxing" was not very high, it could slow down the enemy's movements, forming an effect similar to time distortion.

In this way he can hold enemies down before he casts his lethal spell, preventing them from fleeing the attack.

After a while, he waved his hand, and the "Tianshouxing" light group disappeared.

At this time, he returned to the desk, took out the diary from "Xianyunju", and wrote on it with a pen:
"The 24th year of Tianxing is the [-]nd day of the first month.

"Today was a fulfilling day. I went to the 'Warming Pot', learned new spells, chatted with the chief, had lunch with Shi Xiaohan, and practiced for a whole afternoon.

"From now on, please call me 'Time Management Guru'.

"I have to say that the happiest thing in life is undoubtedly watching myself become stronger day by day at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"The day after tomorrow is the day to go to Longmen Academy.

"In order to make money to repay the mortgage... Well, for the high-paying idle job of 'Longmen Academy's guest lecturer', next, I need to focus on the art of talismans.

"I heard that my opponents are very good. I was a little nervous.

"..."

…………

At the same time, a gorgeously decorated carriage drove into Luojing City from the tall and majestic West Gate along the streets beside the Luo River.

There were two people sitting in the compartment of the carriage.

One was a tall, thin, middle-aged man with a sallow complexion.He has a bitter melon face with a distinct "Chuan" on his forehead, and he is frowning in thought.

The other is short, less than 1.4 meters tall, but has a big head, a pair of exaggerated and asymmetrical eyes, and a big garlic-like nose.

It looks like a child from the back, but it looks like a funny dwarf on the stage from the front.

In this world, there are many ugly people, but people who are so ugly are as rare as peerless beautiful men.

"Master, do you really decide to be a 'guest lecturer' at Longmen Academy?" After a long silence, the skinny middle-aged man finally couldn't help asking, "Actually, the master prefers that you stay in Jinling and manage the family business .”

This short young man is Shen Qiu, the bastard son of Jinling Shen family.

In the past few days, he set off from Jinling to Luojing City, and is about to go to Longmen Academy to compete with Gu Xu, Mo Li and several other talisman masters for the position of "guest lecturer".

"Managing the family business?" Shen Qiu smiled disdainfully, his voice was so sharp that it hurt people's eardrums, "Hehe, Uncle Shao, you overestimated my status in my father's eyes. I manage. He just wants me to be a faithful dog at my brother's feet, to advise him in his troubles."
