Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 25
The headquarters of the Exorcism Division is located on a hill in the northwest suburb of Luojing, the capital of Daqi.

The view here is excellent, you can see the whole starry sky when you look up, and you can get a bird's-eye view of the whole city when you look down.

On the star-gazing platform of the yamen, there was a man wearing a crane cloak, his hair was disheveled, and he sat leaning on a railing, burning incense and playing the qin.

This figure is clear-cut, handsome, and has the air of exile.

It was the current head of the Exorcism Division, Luo Chuan.

At this moment, he seemed to be completely immersed in the rhythm of the guqin - neither the hustle and bustle of the lights in Luojing nor the trivial matters in the yamen had distracted him.

After a while.

The sound of footsteps came from the stairs not far away.

A young girl in a light green dress took brisk small steps to his side.

This girl is long and slender, with a slender waist and a pointed face. Although she is not particularly beautiful, her eyes are clear and charming, and she has the temperament of Xiaojiabiyu.

"Master Sishou, Senior Brother Chu just sent you a message using the communication jade talisman," the girl raised her forehead and bowed to Luochuan, "He said that he had encountered a little trouble in Yishui County and needed it urgently. your help."

The girl's name is Shangguan Jin.

Like Chu Fengge, she also serves as the boss at the headquarters of the Exorcism Division.

Since the two of them were brought up by Luo Chuan, the head of the exorcism chief, they could be regarded as Luo Chuan's unnamed disciples, so they called each other "Senior Brother" and "Junior Sister" in private.

"That guy, Chu Fengge, is so old, it's not enough, it will only cause me trouble," Luo Chuan, the director of exorcism, sighed softly, but did not stop playing the piano, "Xiaojin, sit down first, Tell me carefully, what happened to that kid and needs me to wipe his ass?"

Shangguan Jin straightened his clothes, sat upright beside Luo Chuan, put his hands on his knees, and said obediently, "Senior Brother Chu said that the Tianyan Stone, which has been passed down by our Exorcism Division for hundreds of years and is of great significance, has cracked into countless pieces for unknown reasons. Fragments, can no longer be used in the future."

Hearing this, Luo Chuan still lowered his head and played the piano, his face was indifferent, and he did not answer immediately.

It's just that the original soft and melodious sound of the piano suddenly burst like a silver bottle, piercing the night sky, and then turned into a hundred thousand iron riders, breaking the glacier.

Obviously, Luo Chuan's mood was not as calm as it seemed.

Seeing that Luo Chuan didn't speak for a while, Shangguan Jin raised the teapot on the table, poured him a cup of fragrant hot tea, and said softly: "Master Sishou, don't be angry with Senior Brother Chu. Senior Brother Chu is extremely talented. , In order to gain success, sometimes it is inevitable that you will be too confident, forget your entrustment, and cause trouble.

"Unlike me, because of my lack of strength, I can only quietly stay in the yamen of the headquarters of the Exorcism Division and listen to your teachings, Lord Secretary."

Her words were both positive and negative—it seemed like she praised Chu Fengge for her profound morality and excellence, but she actually satirized that Chu Fengge was arrogant and did not obey Luo Sishou's discipline.

Luo Chuan laughed and finally stopped playing the piano.

He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Xiaojin, it's really not Chu Fengge's fault that Tianyanshi broke this time—he doesn't have the skills."

Shangguan Jin opened his eyes.

She and Chu Fengge worked together under Luo Chuan, and they often fought openly and secretly, and they had to compete in everything.

She originally thought that this time the Tianyan Stone was broken, she could take the opportunity to make that guy Chu Fengge be scolded by Lord Si Shou, or even put him in confinement for a few days...

Unexpectedly, there is another reason.

Thinking of this, she immediately cupped her hands to Luo Chuan and said, "Please also ask Lord Secretary for advice."

I only heard Luo Chuan say lightly: "Tianyanshi is a magic weapon to deduce the secret of heaven. If it breaks, there is only one possibility - that is to see something that should not be seen."

"What shouldn't be seen?" Shangguan Jin was a little confused.

According to Chu Fengge's description, this time Yishui County did indeed appear a genius with Rank [-] qualifications.

However, in the hundred-year history of the Exorcism Division, although geniuses with the third-grade qualifications were rare, they were not unique - even the geniuses with the second-grade qualifications had produced two.

I haven't seen them play Tianyanshi bad either.

"Xiaojin, how long did it take you to start your cultivation and reach the first stage of consummation?"

"Three years, my lord."

"Where's Chu Fengge?"

"Two and a half years."

Shangguan Jin has always been brooding about Chu Fengge's faster cultivation speed than himself.

"The young man named Gu Xu who participated in the assessment in Yishui County has only spent less than a year." Luo Chuan, the director of exorcism, said in a flat tone.

"Less than a year?" Shangguan Jin was shocked.

If Chu Fengge's description is correct, that young man named Gu Xu is just an ordinary little official from a poor family with both dead parents.

His family obviously could not provide him with expensive spiritual resources.

If he wanted to cultivate, he would have to spend a lot of time in the Exorcism Division doing the task of killing ghosts, and exchanged his merits for the medicinal pills necessary for cultivation.

But even so, Gu Xu was able to become a cultivator of the first realm with a speed that made many arrogances feel ashamed.

Is this really what a normal human being should have?

Luo Chuan showed an unfathomable smile on his face, and then said:

"The third-grade 'Light of the Blazing Sun' is just an illusion, not Gu Xu's true aptitude.

"In my opinion, the potential of that kid Gu Xu, perhaps above the second rank, has exceeded the upper limit that Tianyanshi can calculate. The magic circle inside Tianyanshi also collapsed because of this.

"It makes me curious how he will shine on the stage of Daqi in the future."

Above the second grade?

Is it the one that only exists in legends?

Shangguan Jin had no concept at all in his mind.

But at the same time, she was also secretly delighted: finally someone can overpower Chu Fengge in terms of talent - that bastard surnamed Chu should not dare to talk casually in the future!

"Master Chief, do we need to find a new way to evaluate Gu Xu's qualifications?"

"No need," Luo Sishou shook his head, "Mu Xiu is in the forest, the wind will destroy it. We should just announce the results according to Tian Yanshi's calculation. This is to protect Gu Xu, and it can also prevent him from being too much. pride.

"As for what I said to you today, Xiaojin, please treat it as a secret that only the two of us know, and let it rot in your stomach forever."

"As ordered," Shangguan Jin nodded obediently, and then asked, "Also, Mr. Si Shou, Senior Brother Chu has already sent the theoretical test paper for this promotion assessment to the headquarters in an array. Are you interested in seeing it for yourself? "

"Send it to the Princess' Mansion!" Luo Sishou closed his eyes and pondered for a few seconds, then replied, "I think, Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoning is both the person who asked the question and the advocate of rebuilding the 'Shenji Camp' plan. She should be very interested in Gu Xu's answer sheet.

"In addition, go and tell Chu Fengge, I want to make Gu Xu's actual combat assessment a little more difficult tomorrow. Now that the long night is approaching, I don't want Daqi's arrogance to be too delicate to withstand the wind and rain. flowers."

"Yes, my lord."

Hearing these words, Shangguan Jin suddenly felt a trace of sympathy for the young man named Gu Xu - the "a little difficulty" that Lord Si Shou said was enough to make countless proud sons weep sadly and doubt life.

I don't know if Gu Xu can survive this difficult challenge.

Then Shangguan Jin got up and retire.

On the way out of the observatory, she inadvertently raised her head and glanced at the vast starry sky.

The Milky Way stretches across the sky, the stars are sparse and the moon is faint, and the clouds are slightly broken.

Only the Ziwei Xing at the celestial pole was dazzling.

　It may be because of the recent crackdown, many chapters I wrote will enter the "review" state after the update, and it will take some time before they are released.

　　If the time is up and the update does not appear, you don't have to worry, you can come back later.There are still manuscripts and outlines, and there will definitely be no eunuchs.
