Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

This obese monk was undoubtedly Qianhu Ren Guanxiong, the exorcist department of Liangzhou Prefecture, and the first Daqi official in the six northwest cities to openly express his surrender to Gu Xu.

After Gu Xu captured Liangzhou City, he did not immediately take away his power, but still let him continue to manage the practitioners in Liangzhou.

After all, Gu Xu couldn't find a more suitable man for the time being.

After owning the complete astrolabe, Gu Xu almost possessed the ability to see everything in the world. If Ren Guanxiong wanted to do some tricks secretly, he couldn't escape his eyes.

Ren Guanxiong is also a person who is very good at observing the situation and judging the situation.

After seeing the golden lightning that knocked down the tower, the mighty army of paper figurines, and the prairie barbarians who came to serve, he quickly realized that Gu Xu's power, both internal and external, was greater than he imagined. more terrifying.

Especially when he heard that Gu Xu's subordinates, including Zhao Changying and Xu Man, all called Gu Xu "Emperor", he was even more shocked.

After all, in the wild world, the word "dijun" is the exclusive title of God.

If a mortal uses this title, even the emperor, it is an act of arrogance. Legend has it that it will arouse the wrath of the gods and bring about lightning strikes from the sky.

But now Gu Xu is not only not struck by lightning, but the cause of rebellion seems to be still flourishing.

Who is he?

"Master Gu is the reincarnation of Emperor Ziwei." Soon, he got the answer to the question from the conversation of the soldiers around him, "In order to maintain his rule, Emperor Daqi fabricated false gods that did not exist to deceive the people." Belief.

"Therefore, Emperor Ziwei did not hesitate to go down to the mortal world, vowing to correct all this and save the people of the wilderness from lies."

Ren Guanxiong couldn't believe it at first.

Because the status of God in Qiren's heart is too lofty.

It was difficult for him to associate the aloof Emperor Ziwei with a young man who was not as weak as the crown.

But later, when he inquired about Gu Xu's life experience carefully, and knew that Gu Xu had raised his cultivation from the first level to the sixth level in less than a year, his heart began to waver.

After all, besides the reincarnated gods, who else could have such an outrageous speed of practice?

In addition, in the usual relationship, Gu Xu can always see through his mind at a glance.

Some of his little-known living habits, hobbies, interpersonal relationships, and even the placement of various items in the mansion are no secrets in Gu Xu's eyes.

This made him feel a lot of pressure every time he stayed by Gu Xu's side.

It's like standing in front of the god's statue and being watched by the all-knowing and omnipotent eyes of the god.

In line with the principle of "a man can bend and stretch", Ren Guanxiong put aside his messy thoughts for the time being, and decided to be Gu Xu's loyal subordinate first, and then quietly observe the future situation.

If Gu Xu is really the reincarnation of Emperor Ziwei, who really kills Emperor Tianxing and overthrows the Daqi Dynasty, wouldn't he be the patriarch of the new dynasty in the future?
The speed of this promotion is much faster than climbing up step by step in Daqi's bureaucratic system.

"Whoever wants to be a teacher needs to be famous," Gu Xu turned around when he heard Ren Guanxiong's question, and looked into his eyes and replied, "Those who have attained the Dao will be helped more than those who have lost the Dao.

"I will be the orthodox of the Central Plains first, and then subdue the wolf people in the grassland in the name of the Central Plains, so that the people of the Central Plains will regard me as a god-given king, and they will respect me because I have easily done things that the Great Qi Emperor could not do. respect me.

"But if I lead a group of prairie wolves to attack the northwestern border of Daqi, then in the eyes of the people of the Central Plains, I will be an invader from a barren land, and I will lose my reputation of righteousness."

Ren Guanxiong nodded seriously.

Although he has not been an official in the northwest border for a long time, he has already deeply experienced the deep hatred between the people of the northwest and the barbarians of the grassland.

It is conceivable that if Gu Xuzhen led a group of savages with machetes on their waists and bone necklaces around their necks to rush into the border of Daqi, the people in the six northwest cities would stop him outside the city even if they risked their entire family's lives. .

But now, the people in the six northwest cities regarded Gu Xu as their savior, and gave him all the loyalty they had given to the Great Qi Emperor before.

On the one hand, it may be because they believed in the saying that "Gu Xu is the reincarnation of Emperor Ziwei".

On the other hand, compared with the Luojing people at the feet of the emperor, these people living in the frontier areas are more pragmatic-they are willing to push whoever can free them from the suffering of barbarian plunder.

"Besides, drawing paper figures is not a troublesome thing for me now." Seeing that Ren Guanxiong was lost in thought and remained silent for a long time, Gu Xu chuckled and continued, "Commanding them to fight is better than commanding a group of people who only The prairie man who can charge forward without thinking with a machete is much more relaxed."

As he spoke, he walked out of the house first and walked into the corridor in the backyard of the yamen.

Ren Guanxiong was stunned for a second, then immediately followed Gu Xu's footsteps.

Then he was surprised to see that the backyard of the yamen, which was originally empty and spacious, had been occupied by hundreds of paper figurines at this moment.

Some paper figurines carry materials back and forth between the gate and the courtyard, some paper figurines lie on the ground and concentrate on painting and drawing, and some paper figurines stand by the wall and outline lifelike characters one after another with a brush. .

After these characters are basically formed, they will come out of the wall and join the working team.

"Di...Dijun, they...they are doing—" Ren Guanxiong opened his eyes wide and stammered.

"—I'm drawing a talisman." Gu Xu replied lightly.

Gu Xu's fully automated talisman production line was too shocking for Ren Guanxiong, making him in a trance for a long time, unable to recover for a long time.

"You... your paper man army, is that how you drew it?"

"Yes."

Ren Guanxiong took a deep breath.

It's not that he hasn't seen a talisman.

When he was an official in the south of the Yangtze River, he often made appointments with two friends of Fu Shi to drink.

The two of them were both aggressive and violent, and every time they got drunk, they would use the wine to draw amulets in order to prove that they were superior to each other.

Ren Guanxiong was forced to be their referee and audience.

It's just that in Ren Guanxiong's memory, it was not easy for these two self-esteemed talisman masters to draw talisman seals.

They must use cinnabar as ink, and strictly follow the steps of offering incense, inviting gods, purifying the heart, and praying. If there is a slight mistake, the talisman seal will be invalidated and you have to start all over again.

Looking at their cautious appearance, they are like woodcarving craftsmen who work slowly on the street.

Compared with Gu Xu who stepped into mass production, it is a world of difference, as if a long time has passed. (end of this chapter)
