Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 242
Princess Zhaoning narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at Gu Xu from head to toe, and then said with a smile: "Jin Yangzi, I hope you can show your true level, don't let me and the saints down!"

Gu Xu nodded in agreement.

A few minutes later, Luo Chuan, head of the Exorcist Department, also arrived at Longmen Academy.

As usual, he looks casual in his crane cloak and loose hair.

Behind him, only Shangguan Jin followed.

In fact, today, Chu Fengge originally wanted to go with Luo Sishou all the way.

Before he was 30 years old, he was successfully promoted to the fifth level—this kind of thing is something that very few people have been able to do since the founding of Daqi for more than 400 years.So he wanted to take this opportunity to show off his cultivation to the monks of Longmen Academy.

However, at this time, Shangguan Jin suddenly said to him with a smile on his face: "Master Chu, I never thought you would be interested in Mr. Gu's talisman technique."

Hearing her words, Chu Fengge immediately realized: Even if he was appreciated and envied by the people around him by virtue of his fifth-level cultivation, the protagonists today could only be Gu Xu and his competitors.

Once Gu Xu defeats his opponent and stands out from the crowd, all the eyes of the audience will be on Gu Xu - in this way, no one will pay attention to his insignificant supporting role.

Chu Fengge's favorite thing in life is "showing his holiness in front of others", and the thing he hates the most is "watching Gu Xu show his holiness in front of others".

He had had enough of this feeling.

In order to avoid another blow to his mentality, he chose to stay in the yamen, practice silently, and keep his ears shut.

The appearance of Luo Sishou once again caused a commotion among the academy crowd.

Luo Chuan, the head of the Exorcist Department, left the impression in everyone's minds that he was a wise man who "plans strategies and wins a thousand miles away".He seldom leaves the headquarters of the Exorcist Division, but relies on his mysterious and powerful deduction technique to solve problems thousands of miles away.

Everyone thought that what Luo Sishou paid attention to on weekdays was the cosmic starry sky, the avenue of heaven and earth, and the survival, rise and fall of the Great Qi Dynasty.

He had never attended such a big event as the handover ceremony of the dean of the academy before.

Unexpectedly, he would come to Longmen Academy in person today to pay attention to the rivalry between several talisman masters.

"Why is this? Is it because there is a junior from the Exorcist today?"

Everyone's eyes fell on Gu Xu.

After the chief arrived, the Grand Master of Qi followed closely behind.

Since the national teacher is the honorary dean of Longmen Academy, most of the teachers and students of the academy are not very unfamiliar with him.

However, when Gu Xu saw the appearance of the national teacher, he was a little surprised.

As a sage of the seven realms and a master of talisman Taoism, the national teacher has always been regarded by Gu Xu as the goal of his life.

In his imagination, this strong man who used heaven and earth as paper and true essence as ink to seal the "Nine Infant Snake Demon" effortlessly should be just like Luo Chuan, with a look of immortality, and his every move Full of superior demeanor.

However, in reality, the Grand Master of Qi is a middle-aged man with short stature, dark complexion, and ordinary appearance.

It's not like a practitioner who entered the Tao with talismans, but more like an old farmer working in the countryside.

If you change the long gown on him into a short one, let him wear a straw hat, hold a hoe, and let him stand in the field and hoe, the picture will not feel inconsistent at all.

"Sure enough, every saint in Daqi has a different style of painting!" Thinking of Zhao Changying, the Duke of Yan who opened his clothes and drank from a big bowl on the stargazing platform of the headquarters of the Exorcism Department, Gu Xu couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart, "Also I don't know what Master Jueming of Lingshan Temple and Master of Jiange Pavilion Xu Man looks like."

When Luo Sishou walked to the edge of the steps, he stopped and didn't go up to greet Gu Xu, but just glanced at him lightly, maintaining a cold and mysterious image.

On the contrary, Da Qi Guoshi had a warm smile on his face, and walked to Gu Xu's side without any pretensions: "Are you Gu Xiaoyou from the Exorcist Division?"

"It's me, Master National Teacher." Gu Xu politely nodded and replied.

"After the incident in Qingzhou Mansion, I saw the runes you drew on the 'Shenji Token'," the national teacher said with a kind smile, "I have to say, your idea is very good, and you can make my master The leftover 'Burning Heaven Seven Forms' were transformed into talisman arrays, which were used to decipher the magic of Kongxuan Sanren to shield the secrets of heaven.

"Even I might not be able to think of such an idea, let alone engrave it on the 'Shenji Token' at that critical moment.

"Now that the 'Long Night' is approaching, His Majesty desperately needs a talented and courageous person like you to help the Qi Dynasty overcome difficulties.

"You may not know, but I actually recommended you to be a 'guest lecturer' at Longmen Academy. The original intention was that you could share some experience of drawing symbols with the academy's Fu Shimen—in this way, we will face the 'Long Night' Sometimes, maybe you can have more confidence.

"It's just that your qualifications are too young to convince the public, so the cabinet arranged a face-to-face talisman test for you, which requires you to quell all doubting voices with your own strength.

"I have great confidence in your strength. You must not let others doubt my vision!"

Gu Xu nodded again and again, expressing that he would definitely do his best and would never let Master Guoshi down.

He felt that this Grand Master of Qi was a straightforward person - he spoke straightforwardly, never concealed it, and did not think about whether his words would offend others.

At this time, Gu Xu's competitors were staying nearby, but the national teacher said bluntly, "The person I recommend is you", and didn't care about other people's feelings at all.

In addition, from the words of the national teacher, Gu Xu also felt that the other party was a person who was always thinking about the country and the monarch.

He worries about the long night ahead, and promotes talent eclecticly.

He himself is the honorary dean of Longmen Academy.

But he ignored some potential conflicts between Longmen Academy and the Exorcist Division, and asked an official from the Exorcism Division to teach the students of Longmen Academy.

It was as if in his eyes, all the sophistication of the world and all the unspoken rules in the officialdom did not exist.

Unknowingly, Gu Xu thought of the understanding of the "Bright Candle" spell that Da Qi Guoshi wrote in his notes-"Dedicate yourself to death, and then die", "Burning yourself, benefiting the world".

To some extent, a person's understanding of "Tao" is also a reflection of his own personality.Therefore, Gu Xu felt a little admiration.

"Fortunately, the national teacher is a saint of the seventh realm, so you don't have to worry that others will attack him," he thought silently, "otherwise, with his upright temper, I'm afraid he would have offended the entire Daqi officialdom long ago!"

When Gu Xu was talking with the national teacher, Luo Chuan's face remained calm and composed, without any change.

But Shangguan Jin, who was standing behind him, could vaguely feel that the air around Luochuan seemed to be getting colder.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from not far ahead: "Sorry, I'm late."

PS: Some book friends asked before, "Why doesn't the head of state let the master accept the protagonist as an apprentice", now everyone should know the answer (^^)
PS2: Sorry for being a bit slow, this chapter is still a few minutes late QAQ asking for a monthly ticket!
