Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 44 Picking a Spell

Early the next morning, Chu Fengge's attendant Xu San came to Gu Xu's residence with a thick book.

Gu Xu invited Xu San to sit in the main house of the courtyard house, and instructed the little book boy on the mural to pour him a cup of hot tea.

"Master Gu, this is the catalogue of all middle-grade martial arts and spells in the treasure house of the Exorcism Division's capital headquarters," Xu San said, pointing to the thick book in his hand, "You can choose one you want, and the capital will give it to you soon. You bring it here."

Since Gu Xu put on the "seven light clothes" and the black gauze hat, Xu San's attitude towards him has undoubtedly undergone tremendous changes.

Before the two were both subordinate officials, Xu San could use his status as the examiner's entourage to instruct Gu Xu, the young junior, at will.

But now, Gu Xu has not only become an eighth-rank experience, but has also received the attention of the chief executive—this means that as long as there are no accidents, the future of this 17-year-old boy is bound to be bright.

Because of this, when talking with Gu Xu now, Xu San no longer dared to neglect his words and manners.

He even pointed to the little book boy who was pouring tea and water, smiled and complimented: "Master Gu's talisman skills are really extraordinary! Xu Mou never expected that one day he would be able to see in Master Gu's hands." The finishing touch is a near-lost spell!"

"The finishing touch" is an extremely unpopular talisman technique.

According to legend, an artist painted four dragons on the wall, but he didn't have any eyes - the artist said that as long as you add eyes, the dragons will fly away.

The onlookers didn't believe it, so they asked him to add eyes to the dragon.

So, the painter drew complicated runes on the dragon's eyes.

At this moment, lightning and thunder rumbled, shattering the wall, and the four dragons ascended to the sky on the clouds and disappeared without a trace.

This is the origin of the technique of "Dressing the Eyes".

Hearing Xu San's words, Gu Xu said humbly: "The trick of carving insects is not worth mentioning. And to be honest, this book boy's brain has never been very good."

"Is your brain not working?"

"Two months ago, I scolded him 'fool'," Gu Xu explained with a smile, "After that, he took the word 'fool' as his name."

"Sure enough, he's a fool." Xu San couldn't help laughing.

Afterwards, Gu Xu opened the thick book and began to look for the spell he wanted.

Because of the talent of [Bow Wen Qiang Ji], Gu Xu can read books very fast.

With just a casual glance, he can remember the entire page in his mind.

So, Xu San who was next to him saw Gu Xu flipping the pages of the book rapidly, and in less than 5 minutes, he read this thick book from beginning to end.

"This guy turns the book so fast, can he really read the content of the book?"

Xu San frowned slightly.

He felt that Gu Xu was probably pretending to be ignorant and pretending to understand.

"Master Gu, if there is anything you don't understand, I can explain it for you," Xu San said politely, "I have also guarded the treasure house of the Exorcism Division Jingcheng headquarters before, so I may be able to recommend some good ones for you. magic."

However, at this time, Gu Xu suddenly said, "I have chosen."

Chosen so soon?
You didn't choose blindly with your eyes closed, did you?
Gu Xu's words obviously surprised Xu San.

"Master Gu, what did you choose?"

"Middle-grade Spiritual Mind spell, "Solar Eclipse"." Gu Xu replied lightly.

Although hundreds of different martial arts and spells were recorded in this thick catalog, it was not difficult for Gu Xu to choose.

He first ruled out knives, swordsmanship, boxing and other moves that require close combat.

The reason is very simple - with his fragile body, if he is forced to fight the enemy in close quarters, he is not far from death.

Then he ruled out the talisman technique.

Because most of the talisman techniques in this booklet are not as simple, rude and powerful as the improved "Ghost Killing Talisman".

Then, he also ruled out curse spells.

Because this type of spell takes a lot of time to recite the incantation, and the effect is not direct and fast enough, and it cannot achieve the purpose of helping him get out of trouble in times of crisis.

In the end, after a lot of deliberation, he decided to choose a spell of the divine sense type.

When he was in the fantasy world of "Revising the Ancient Pot" before, Gu Xu was deeply impressed by the consciousness attack of the dream-eating tapir.

This type of spell does not require chanting or accumulating power, and it can be triggered with a single thought.

Under the sudden attack, if Gu Xu's spirit strength was far beyond that of ordinary people, and he had engraved thirty "Decontamination Talismans" in the sea of ​​​​knowledge in advance, I am afraid that he would have been occupied by the dream-eating tapir and turned into a walking corpse.

The effect of the "Solar Eclipse" spell is very similar to the consciousness attack of the dream-eating tapir.

If the spirit of each person or ghost is compared to a scorching sun, then "Solar Eclipse" is like a tengu eating the sun, making this sun go out in an instant.

…………

Gu Xu's choice obviously surprised Xu San once again.

"Master Gu, are you sure you want to choose this spell?" Xu San narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone revealing a skeptical mood, "You may not understand that divine soul spells require very high levels of divine consciousness, and they are not difficult to learn. Low, usually only monks above the third realm can cultivate."

Gu Xu had already expected Xu San's attitude.

He didn't justify, but stated a fact in a relaxed tone: "During the 'Wen Gu Hu' illusion test, the dream-eating tapir's divine attack was almost ineffective against me."

Xu San suddenly stopped talking.

At this moment, he once again deeply felt that this Master Gu, who was able to play Tianyanshi badly, could not be viewed with common sense——

When he was in the first realm, he had already used the difficult and obscure talisman techniques with ease.Presumably, this divine sense spell, which is difficult for ordinary people to master, is not difficult for him.

Xu San was silent for a while before slowly opening his mouth and said, "Since Mr. Gu has made a decision, then the headquarters of the Exorcism Si Jingcheng will deliver this "Solar Eclipse" spell to you within three days."

"Then there is Brother Lao Xu."

"In addition, Mr. Gu," Xu San continued, "this afternoon, I will follow the team of Mr. Chu and leave for the capital. The next time we meet, we should wait until next year."

Gu Xu could hear what he meant—

Next year, if Gu Xu successfully passes the "investigation period" and is approved by the top management of the Exorcism Division, he can go to the capital and become a full member of the "Shenji Camp".

Naturally, he could also meet Xu San again.

This sentence can be understood as Xu San's blessing to Gu Xu.

So Gu Xu smiled, got up and responded, "Brother Xu, take care all the way, let's meet again next year."
