Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 37 The Chief's Comments

Outside the illusion, the Yamen lobby.

Chu Fengge stared intently at the picture on the "Wen Gu Hu", her mood was extremely complicated.

too fast.

It's too fast.

Although Chu Fengge was mentally prepared for Gu Xu's outrageous talent...

But Gu Xu was able to take Ma Qin and successfully pass the customs from the Taoyuan Illusion in less than an hour, which was still far beyond his expectations.

Gu Xu's two ghost-killing talismans, one unexpectedly burned the house full of ghosts, and one that killed the dream-eating tapir in an instant, left a very deep impression on Chu Fengge.

Others may be surprised by Gu Xu's exaggerated talisman skills.

But what made Chu Fengge feel alert was Gu Xu's flexible mind and eclectic fighting style——

Everything around him, including dishes, drinks, and even the people around him, can be used by Gu Xu as his weapon.

And Gu Xu never follows the old rules.

The "Tai Shang North Pole Suppressing Demon and Killing Ghost Talisman" that has been passed down from generation to generation has long been modified beyond recognition by him.

The solemn and solemn "please spell" was also arbitrarily adapted by him.

He even imaginatively engraved the "Unclean Talisman" in his sea of ​​consciousness.

It can be said that in terms of cultivation, Gu Xu is a person who has no scruples and no rules at all.

Chu Fengge couldn't imagine how terrifying a person like Gu Xu would become if he grew up in the future on the real battlefield of life and death.

Besides, Gu Xu has something that makes Chu Fengge feel jealous——

"How can this kid come up with so many arrogant and energetic lines during the battle?" Chu Fengge thought angrily, "This kind of lines should be spoken by this official!"

For example, "This restaurant that makes you feel at home will no longer exist", such as "The stage has been set up"... When Chu Fengge imitated Gu Xu's calm and indifferent tone and recited these sentences, he felt that he was so handsome.

Of course, Chu Fengge was a proud person - second-hand lines, no matter how good they were, he didn't bother to use them.

He planned to ask his subordinates to help him think of some domineering words to use in battle after this assessment was over.

A verse is obviously not enough.

This kid Gu Xu will definitely be his rival in the future, but he must not lose to him in terms of momentum.

…………

At this moment, the attendant Xu San suddenly came to Chu Fengge's side, and said to him cautiously: "Master Chu, since Gu Xu and Ma Qin have passed the examination, should we let them go from the 'Old Review Pot'? Out?"

Hearing this, Chu Fengge finally recovered from his deep thoughts.

Only then did he remember that the consciousness of the two candidates was still trapped in the illusion in the pot.

So Chu Fengge immediately recited the formula and terminated the assessment.

The picture on the "Wen Gu Hu" pot gradually dimmed, and then disappeared, returning to its original pure white and clear appearance.

And Gu Xu and Ma Qin, who were sitting cross-legged in the corner of the hall, also slowly opened their eyes, as if they had woken up from a big dream.

Since they had just experienced a fierce battle in the "Warming Pot", they all looked a little mentally exhausted at this time.

"Congratulations on passing the test of Taoyuan Illusion," Chu Fengge said with a blank expression, "Go outside the lobby and wait for the result."

"Yes, my lord." The two responded.

Although the fateful moment is approaching, both candidates are in a very calm mood.

If Gu Xu's calm comes from self-confidence.

Then Ma Qin's calm state of mind stemmed from the fact that he had already chosen to lie down.

Ma Qin secretly decided to go to the inn to check out as soon as possible after the results of the assessment came out, and then secretly returned to Qingzhou Mansion in a carriage to return to the original ordinary little official.

Although the competition for jobs in the Qingzhou government is fierce, it is difficult to get ahead.

But he felt that, after staying in Yishui County for a long time, sooner or later, Gu Xu, the evildoer, would make him doubt his life.

…………

Headquarters of the Exorcism Division, Star Observatory.

After the assessment, the picture on the bronze mirror disappeared.

"Xiaojin, bring a pen and inkstone."

Sishou Luochuan was silent for a moment, and then instructed Shangguan Jin who was beside him.

"Yes, my lord."

Shangguan Jin got up immediately, quickly fetched a pen, ink, paper and inkstone for Luo Chuan, and then knelt down beside the low table, grinding ink for him.

Afterwards, Luo Chuan picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and began to write assessment comments for the two candidates, Gu Xu and Ma Qin.

According to the past practice of the Exorcism Division, when candidate officials participate in the promotion assessment, the chief examiner or other high-level officials will write comments for them as an important reference for future personnel arrangements.

Under normal circumstances, Luo Chuan wouldn't be able to do such trivial things in person.

However, when Luo Chuan wanted to do it himself on a whim, no one in the entire Exorcism Division could stop him.

He first wrote his comments on Ma Qin on a piece of snow-white rice paper:
"More than stable, but not flexible enough; more than diligent, less talented; able to be a cadre, but it is difficult to stand alone. However, he is gentle, respectful, and thrifty, and he is not ashamed of being a teacher. If cultivated properly, it may be able to benefit one side of the people."

Shangguan Jin silently watched him write comments.

Although this comment has written both Ma Qin's advantages and Ma Qin's shortcomings.

But Shangguan Jin is familiar with Luo Chuan's character, and knows that this Luo Sishou never praises others easily - in his writing, this sentence can be regarded as a high evaluation.

With Lord Si Shou's personal review, Ma Qin's body is equivalent to a layer of gold plating, and his career in the Exorcism Division will become much smoother in the future, becoming the envy of many people.

Of course, Shangguan Jin also knew very well that Luo Sishou paid attention to such an inconspicuous little person as Ma Qin because of Gu Xu's existence.

Later, Luo Chuan took out another piece of rice paper, ready to write Gu Xu's comments.

This time he pondered for a long time, but did not start writing.

Many words flashed through his mind, but he felt that they were not appropriate enough.

After a few minutes, he sighed softly, and finally slowly wrote down his evaluation of Gu Xu:
"Sensitive and eager to learn, brilliant and enlightened, not afraid of danger, not falling into the trap. If he didn't die in the middle, he would definitely become the pillar of the building."

Shangguan Jin couldn't believe his eyes when he saw this comment.

Such highly praised words... are they really written by Master Si Shou?
This is not like the usual performance of Lord Si Shou!
You know, even talented young people like herself and Chu Fengge didn't get such a high evaluation back then, but Luo Sishou pointed out a lot of deficiencies in a very strict manner.

This Gu Xu... what is so special about it, that makes Lord Si Shou change his nature?
Could it be that Lord Si Shou foresaw Gu Xu's promising future with the Heavenly Mystery Technique?

Shangguan Jin just felt incredible.

At this moment, a guard hurried along the stairs to the observatory, put a stack of documents on the table, then bowed to Luo Chuan and said:

"Report to Sir Si Shou, the ink scroll you sent to the palace has been read by Princess Zhaoning. This is her feedback."
