Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 46 New Missions
According to the description in the book, the method of "Solar Eclipse" requires at least five days and five nights from the first practice to the first results.

But Gu Xu knew that the standards written in the book were only applicable to the general public with mediocre qualifications, and had no reference value for geniuses.

Gu Xu still remembers that when he was cultivating the "Returning Yuan Jue", he was almost suspected by his colleagues in the yamen because he was condensing his true essence too fast.

At this moment, the "magic machine token" that Gu Xu placed on the table suddenly began to sparkle.

"The mission of 'Shenji Camp' came so soon?" Gu Xu was a little surprised.

It seems that his follow-up cultivation plan today cannot be carried out as usual.

But that's fine.

He has just entered the second realm [Huangquan Road] recently, and he has also initially mastered the "solar eclipse" spell.

He didn't know how much his combat power had improved compared to before.

With this mission, he happened to find a lucky ghost to try his hand, so as to fully understand his current strength.

After all, if you know yourself and your enemy, you won't be in danger in a hundred battles.

So he reached out and picked up the "magic machine token" on the table.

The moment he touched the token, a line of text suddenly appeared in his sight:
"Fan Zhou, the son of Fan's family in Juxian County, mysteriously disappeared on the wedding night, and he has not heard from him for half a month. According to the calculation results of Tianjishu, Fan Zhou was abducted by a 'wild ghost' level ghost.

"Please find out the situation as soon as possible, rescue Fan Zhou, and solve the ghosts involved.

"Mission reward: 240 meritorious service."

"240 meritorious service, the reward for this mission seems quite generous!" Gu Xu commented secretly.

After Xu San left Yishui County, he wrote a letter to Gu Xu.

The letter said: "Shenji Camp" was created under the leadership of the Exorcist Division, which can be understood as a special team under the Exorcist Division; .It's just that the merits of the "Shenji Camp" can only be possessed by itself and cannot be shared with others.

Gu Xu wrote and asked: So when I do the task, can I ask for help?
Xu San replied: Of course, as long as you can find it.

Gu Xu could probably sense that the outstanding talents that "Shenjiying" wanted might not be those so-called "geniuses" who didn't hear anything outside the window and devoted themselves to cultivating.

They are smart people who have the ability to solve practical problems, make good use of resources, and know how to leverage.

Thinking of this, Gu Xu took out three old copper coins from his pocket and threw them six times in a row, using the "six lines of hexagrams" to predict the luck of the mission.

The result is "Leave the upper and lower the lower", which is the hexagram of "Leaving is the fire".

"Leave", can take the meaning of "bright".

In the books related to divination read by Gu Xu, it was explained that those who have obtained this hexagram should be modest and cautious and make steady progress, and the future will be bright;

In short, it is to stabilize the waves, and things will happen.

"Yes, it's a good omen," Gu Xu said to himself, "I'll take over this task."

Afterwards, he stuffed the thick stack of Ghost Killing Talismans on the table into his pocket, turned around and walked out of the gate of his courtyard house with brisk steps.

After he left, the little book boy in a gray robe walked out of the portrait on the screen, picked up a broom, and began to follow Gu Xu's pre-set path to clean the fallen leaves in the courtyard.

…………

After going out, Gu Xu did not rush to Juxian to do the task, but went to Yishui Exorcism Division Yamen first.

"Is the Shi Patrol here?" He asked the clerk who looked after the door.

Although Gu Xu's strength has improved by leaps and bounds recently, out of caution, he still wants to try to convince Shi Xiaohan to do the task with him.

If he remembered correctly, Shi Xiaohan's current cultivation base is close to the second level of perfection.With her talent, it is estimated that she will be able to break through the third realm before long.

Learning to hold your thighs will help increase your chances of surviving a mission.

But the gatekeeper shook his head: "Master Gu, Master Shi is still on vacation today and didn't come to the yamen."

"So... is Ma Jishi in the yamen?" Gu Xu asked again.

Since Shi Xiaohan was not around, Gu Xu simply retreated and asked Ma Qin to go with him.

Although Ma Qin's strength is slightly worse than Shi Xiaohan, as a melee sword cultivator practicing "Rock Fist", he is more resistant to beatings.

If you stand behind him and cast spells, Gu Xu will feel very secure.

However, the janitor shook his head again: "Sorry, Master Gu, Master Ma went out on a mission a quarter of an hour ago. I'm afraid it will take a few hours before he can come back."

Gu Xu deeply regrets.

It seems that today's task, he must complete it alone.

…………

Juxian and Yishui are about [-] miles apart.

Gu Xu is weak and not good at horseback riding.

So he chose to take the yamen's carriage to Juxian.

The yamen servant who drove the car was a freckled mortal boy of about 16 years old, named Dong Zhuangzhuang.

A few days ago, Dong Zhuangzhuang was deeply impressed by the huge momentum caused by Gu Xu touching the "Tianyanshi".

At that moment, Gu Xu stood in the most dazzling light, like the only focus between heaven and earth.

In Dong Zhuangzhuang's view, if there are gods in the world, it is probably nothing more than this.

Because of this, when he was driving today, he was both excited and apprehensive.

With his back straight, he stared intently at the road in front of him, holding the reins tightly in both hands, for fear that if he could not do well, the adult in the carriage would be dissatisfied.

"Why are you so nervous?" Seeing Dong Zhuangzhuang shivering, Gu Xu couldn't help but tease, "I'm not a man-eating evil."

Hearing what he said, Dong Zhuangzhuang was so frightened that he hurriedly said, "Dad... Your Excellency, I'm not... I'm not nervous, you... don't be angry, okay?"

"I'm not angry," Gu Xu said lightly, "you should focus on driving! I think the carriage is about to drive into the ditch."

Dong Zhuangzhuang exclaimed, immediately pulled the reins, and braked suddenly.

Only then did he realize that the road ahead was flat and open, and there was no ditch as Gu Xu mentioned.

"Sorry, I lied to you just now." Gu Xu chuckled lightly.

After all, he opened the car door and got out of the carriage.

Then he looked at the grass on the side of the road and said calmly, "This officer knows that you are hiding there.

"Put down the weapons in your hands and come out immediately, this official spares you not to die."

what?
Someone squatted in the grass by the roadside and wanted to make a sneak attack?
Why didn't I notice it at all?
Dong Zhuangzhuang was extremely surprised.

"It's the exorcist! Run!"

Just then, someone suddenly shouted loudly.

Then, a group of blood-stained robbers popped out of the grass—they held bows and crossbows, carried stolen goods, and ran furiously into the distance without looking back.

"So soon?" Gu Xu saw the robbers fleeing in embarrassment, and the smile on his face deepened, "But in front of me, do you think you can escape?"

In an instant, his eyes suppressed all the light and turned into a deep and dim darkness.
