Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 51 Fan Zhou's Social Death

After a while, Gu Xu led the pale Fan Zhou towards the location of his relatives.

"Big... Sir, can I not go back to see them?" "Undead Knight" Fan Zhou asked nervously beside Gu Xu.

"Why?" Gu Xu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Your mother is very worried about your safety, and repeatedly begged me to bring you back alive. If you are a dutiful son, you should explain the reason for your disappearance to her."

In the Daqi Dynasty, filial piety was an important criterion for measuring a person's moral quality.

Unfilial people are often regarded as morally corrupt and despised by neighbors and villagers, and it will be difficult for them to have a place in social circles in the future.

Therefore, when he heard Gu Xu's words, Fan Zhou nodded solemnly and did not dare to refute any more.

Soon, Gu Xu brought Fan Zhou to his parents.

Madam Fan burst into tears when she saw her only son returning safely.

She took two steps forward, hugged her son tightly in her arms, and muttered while sobbing: "Little bastard, what have you been up to these days? Your mother misses you every day, for fear that you will have troubles and troubles. I haven't slept well for a few days..."

Fan Zhou lowered his head and whispered, "Mother, I was wrong..."

Although the Fan family was concerned about the safety of their son's life, they did not forget Fan Zhou's savior.

In the few minutes just now, they witnessed the battle between Gu Xu and the evil ghost with their own eyes.

They saw the quaint and elegant two-story house turned into a desolate and lonely tomb.

They saw the splendid beauty turned into an ugly mummified corpse.

They saw that Gu Xu shattered the darkness with light, and the evil spirits vanished into ashes while talking and laughing.

Maybe they had doubts about Gu Xu's ability before because of his age.

But now, all their doubts ceased to exist the moment Gu Xu killed the evil ghost.

As ordinary people in Ju County, they rarely have the opportunity to meet the monks of the Exorcism Division, let alone witness the monks use extraordinary power to slay demons and eliminate demons.

Because of this, what Gu Xu did was like a god in their eyes.

So, after seeing that his son was safe and sound, Master Fan immediately took two steps forward, grabbed Fan Zhou by the collar, brought him to Gu Xu, then pressed him to the ground and asked him to kowtow to Gu Xu to thank him .

"Little bastard, thank you Master Gu for saving your life!" The master of the Fan family gave Fan Zhou a hard kick on the buttocks.

Fan Zhou screamed "Ouch" in pain.

But when his father spoke, he did not dare to disobey, so he could only kowtow to Gu Xu three times, and said vaguely: "Xiaosheng Fan Zhou kowtows to Lord Gu for saving his life..."

"Make your voice louder, buzzing like a mosquito," the master of the Fan family kicked Fan Zhou again, causing another dirty shoe print on Fan Zhou's buttocks. "Lord Gu heard that, I'm afraid they thought you were a bitch!"

Fan Zhou wailed: "Xiaosheng...Ouch...Thank you, Lord Gu..."

At this moment, Gu Xu looked serious, but he was actually trying his best to restrain his urge to laugh out loud.

Because he knew: Fan Zhou's voice was weak and weak because most of his yang energy was sucked away by the mummy.

"You don't have to thank me," Gu Xu said in a calm and indifferent tone, "It is our duty to protect Linglang's life and eliminate evil spirits."

…………

The next period of time is the time of Fan Zhou's social death.

The Fans dragged Fan Zhou and asked him carefully about his disappearance for the past few days.

The onlookers who were eating melons also stared at him with expectant eyes, waiting for him to tell the story of "I live with a mummy for half a month".

Fan Zhou's expression suddenly became extremely embarrassing.

He hesitated and said: "On the wedding night, I left the banquet and went to the latrine. On the way back, I saw a woman wearing a dazzling wedding dress standing behind the house.

"She calls herself my bride.

"You should know that my parents planned to marry Miss Qin family. I have never met Miss Qin family myself, and I don't know what she looks like.

"So I took her word for it.

"Then, like a ghost, I followed her out of the house, through the streets of the county town, all the way to this place.

"She said, this is our new house.

"So, I stayed here with her... You should all know what happened next..."

There were meaningful smiles on the faces of everyone present.

Mrs. Fan looked at Fan Zhou's vain footsteps, and couldn't help but said distressedly: "Xiaozhou, you have been suffering with that evil ghost these days. When you go home, mother will cook you a few bowls. Goji berry stew..."

At the same time, the master of the Fan family looked at the Qin family next to him and asked them, "Now that my son has returned safely, our family should be able to continue to fulfill the unfinished engagement?"

The Qin family immediately shook their heads and replied, "Your son can be seduced by a ghost, which proves that he is a womanizer who does not keep his promises. I don't feel relieved to give my daughter to such a person. , still have to retreat."

The master of the Fan family immediately gritted his teeth with anger: "That's because my boat has been attacked by the evil spirit's magic! Although my son is a little soft-hearted and easily deceived, he likes to listen to music occasionally, but in the final analysis he is a good boy! "

"..."

…………

Next, the Fan and Qin families started an endless quarrel over the "break-off" issue.

Gu Xu didn't want to waste time on such trivial matters, so he left in advance.

Before leaving, the master of the Fan family held Gu Xu's hand tightly, saying that he had set up a thank-you banquet for Gu Xu at home, and hoped that Gu Xu could appreciate it.

Gu Xu politely refused.

However, he was not in a hurry to return to Yishui County.

Instead, he let Dong Zhuangzhuang drive the carriage and sent him to the county yamen in Ju County.

He had previously caught a group of robbers on the official road.

According to the rules of the Daqi Dynasty, a bounty can be obtained by catching a robber alive.

Other eighth-rank officials, such as Miss Qianjin like Shi Xiaohan, might not be interested in this bounty.

But for Gu Xu, whose family background is mediocre, this bounty is a lot of money.

…………

Since Gu Xu came to Ju County without a guard of honor, he did not make a big splash.

Therefore, when his black carriage stopped outside the county yamen in Juxian, all the officials in the yamen were caught off guard.

"Yishui Exorcism Division experienced Master Gu's arrival——" Dong Zhuangzhuang shouted again.

The county magistrate He of Ju County heard the sound, and the brush in his hand fell to the ground with a "smack".

Then he ordered the yamen beside him sharply: "Don't hurry up and invite that Master Gu in!"

The yamen immediately turned around and ran out.

However, before the yamen ran to the door, the magistrate He stopped him again.

"Just stand here, don't move. This official is going to greet the lord in person."

The yamen was deeply puzzled.

He was very curious as to how sacred the "Master Gu" outside the door was, so that the magistrate He could be so low-profile.
