Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 427 Departure
"Do you need me to help you?" After a moment of silence, Gu Xu smiled and continued.

Xue Nu pursed her lips slightly, hesitated for a while, then unexpectedly nodded and sat on a big rock.

Gu Xu squatted down, took off two reverse embroidered shoes for her, exchanged them, and helped her put them on again.

In the process, his fingertips inevitably touched her white and delicate ankles, and he felt as cold as ice and snow, but compared to ice and snow, it was more flexible and elastic.

If it was Shi Xiaohan, if he touched him a few times like this, his cheeks would already be flushed, angry and laughing.

But Snow Maiden remained motionless.

She just looked down at his hands quietly, feeling a little dazed.

She has always been unable to distinguish human faces, and it is difficult to judge beauty and ugliness from appearance.

But she had to admit that the hands with sharp joints were really pretty.

"Okay." After a while, Gu Xu stood up.

At this time, it was snowing heavily.

The fiery red sun hangs in the misty sky, and the sun shines through the branches of the old trees, sprinkles mottledly on the snow, and also illuminates the snow girl's cheeks.

At first glance, she appears to be glowing.

Hearing Gu Xu's voice, Xue Nu waved her hand lightly, and the snow on the ground instantly rose into the air, turning into a crane waiting to fly.

Then she looked at Gu Xu and motioned for him to ride on the crane's back.

Gu Xu stood where he was, without moving.

"It's too conspicuous," he said. "It might be better to go straight through the space."

Hearing his words, Xuenv lowered her head and remained silent.

After a few seconds, she said softly: "I don't know how to travel through space."

Can't shuttle space?

Gu Xu looked at her in surprise.

However, he quickly remembered that although Xuenv had the strength of a saint, she was not the same as a real saint.

When she was a human being, she was just a young practitioner with a low realm.

Later, after her death, with the help of Kongxuan Sanren's "Zhaoming Forbidden Art" and powerful hatred power, she became the frightening ghost at the level of a god.

For the Ice and Snow Dao, she really mastered it superbly.

However, since she has not really practiced to the seventh level, she has no experience of "becoming a saint".

She doesn't know much about other "Taos".

Naturally, it does not have special abilities such as "tearing space" mastered by other saints.

"Then let me do it!" Gu Xu smiled, held the "Astrolabe" in his hand, and stretched out the other hand to Xuenv, "I will take you to travel through space."

Xue Nu looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and then gently grabbed his sleeve.

This made Gu Xu sigh with emotion: It seems that even if she becomes a ghost, Ms. Lu is still as restrained and reserved as before.

"I'm a little scared," Xuenv said suicidally when she was about to set off, "I haven't been down the mountain for almost 20 years."

Her voice was mixed in the cold wind of Yishan.It's hard to hear what she's saying without listening carefully.

"Miss Lu, the Great Qi State Master you defeated a few days ago is one of the most powerful practitioners in the entire Great Qi Dynasty," Gu Xu comforted, "You are not even afraid of him, who else in the Great Wilderness can stop him?" How about staying with you?"

"That's not what I'm afraid of," Xue Nu paused, then said, "I...I'm worried that I won't be able to control my instincts when I'm in a human city."

"Look at me." Gu Xu said.

Xuenv looked at him in response, unable to understand his purpose for a while.

"Did you smell me?"

"Yeah." Xue Nu nodded.

"You can even resist my temptation, why worry about those ordinary people who taste like clear soup?" Gu Xu chuckled.

Hearing this, Xue Nu pursed her lips slightly, remained silent for a few seconds, and nodded, feeling that what he said was quite reasonable.

Then, as black cracks like spider webs appeared in the air, the two disappeared together on the snowy peak of Yishan Mountain.

…………

A few days ago, Chen Jisheng, the governor of the Exorcist Department of Yishui County, suddenly received an order from Wei Jiusi, a thousand household in Qingzhou Prefecture, asking him to lead his subordinates in the yamen to Qingzhou City to perform an urgent task.

At that time, Chen Jisheng thought that it was because a powerful ghost appeared near Qingzhou Mansion, and he needed to call monks from all counties to deal with it.

So he took all the officials under his command and went together.

However, as soon as they arrived at Qingzhou Mansion, they were detained in the Yamen and were not allowed to go out.

Wei Jiusi, a thousand household in Qingzhou Prefecture, visited them twice.

Chen Jisheng asked him why he detained the court officials for no reason.

Wei Jiusi said that this is the request of Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoning - there is an extremely important task that urgently needs your cooperation.

"His Royal Highness..." Chen Jisheng murmured silently in his heart.

He really couldn't understand, as an ordinary seventh-rank official, what kind of virtues and abilities did he have, that he would be chosen by His Royal Highness to do things.

If you insist on finding out what is so special about him.

That is, in his yamen, there used to be an astoundingly talented and shocking Gu Xu.

He originally thought that this young man would skyrocket in Daqi's officialdom and become a pillar of the country like the head of the department and the national teacher.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Gu Xu turned into a traitor and was wanted and arrested by Emperor Tianxing himself.

This matter surprised Chen Jisheng.

In his opinion, Gu Xu, who had a bright future, had no reason to treason at all—a genius monk like Gu Xu, who was born as a commoner, could only obtain enough cultivation resources if he stayed in the system of the Daqi court. Solve the problem of his congenital deficiency and limited lifespan.

Once he leaves the imperial court, it is almost impossible for him to obtain enough resources to support his cultivation to the realm of a saint.

However, in the minds of the people of Qi, Emperor Tianxing has the supreme status comparable to that of a god—his judgment can never be wrong.

Chaotic thoughts mixed in Chen Jisheng's mind, making him worried and unable to think about food and drink.

He habitually reads the government's mansion newspaper, listens to other people's discussions, and learns about the latest news about Gu Xu.

Logically speaking, as a minister of Daqi, he should be grateful for the court's decision to only punish Gu Xu and not implicate others, and he should pray that the traitors will fall into the net of justice as soon as possible.

However, when he heard that Gu Xu fled to the north and was protected by the Zhao family in Youzhou, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"I heard that Zhao Changying, King of Yan, is a strong 'True Monarch', and he is still trying to make a breakthrough in seclusion recently," Chen Jisheng thought to himself, "With his ability, he should be able to protect Gu Xu!"

While thinking wildly, Chen Jisheng drank tea for several days in the government office of Qingzhou.

Although Wei Jiusi said that Her Royal Highness wanted him to do something, he couldn't even see half of the princess.

Until today, Wei Jiusi came to him again and said to him:
"You can go back to Yishui."

"Going back to Yishui now?" Chen Jisheng was deeply puzzled, "I haven't done anything yet."
