Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 63 Shi Xiaohan's Joy
A few minutes later, Gu Xu put on the "seven light clothes" and the black gauze hat, and came to the Exorcism Department Yamen in Yishui County.

His elixir has been exhausted.

If he wants to continue to practice, he must take on new tasks, earn merits, and exchange medicine pills.

So he came to the task bulletin board.

Since he successfully passed the promotion examination and became the eighth-rank exorcist division, he has undoubtedly been able to access tasks that are more difficult and rewarding.

Now, he despises tasks that reward less than [-] meritorious feats.

His eyes mainly fell on the task of rewarding more than [-] meritorious deeds-a task of this level, he used to have to hug Shi Xiaohan's thigh to be able to rub against it.

But now, he has the ability to execute independently.

Soon, a quest rewarding [-] meritorious deeds attracted Gu Xu's attention:
"There is a strong yin in the vicinity of Xunliu Street in Yishui County, and it is suspected that someone has been possessed by stealth. Please find out the situation as soon as possible and deal with the ghosts involved."

"Xunliu Street? Isn't that the commercial area of ​​Yishui County? How come there are ghosts even in such a crowded place?" Gu Xu felt a little strange about this.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Gu Xu felt that this task would definitely not be as simple as the one described on the bulletin board.

However, the reward of three hundred meritorious deeds was too tempting for him.

This made him unable to resist taking out the three copper coins he carried with him from his pocket and tossing them six times in a row. He skillfully used the "six lines of divination" to try to predict the luck of the task.

The result is "shock up and leave down", which is the hexagram of "leihuofeng".

According to the explanation in his memory, "Feng" means grand, which should be a good omen, but the prosperity will decline, and there are hidden worries in the prosperity, so you need to be extra cautious.

So Gu Xu hesitated.

Although he was very greedy for these three hundred meritorious deeds, he did not want to put himself in danger - even if there was only a small possibility that he would encounter danger.

Just as he was thinking about it, a soft and pleasant voice suddenly came from not far away——

"Gu Xu, you are finally willing to come to the yamen today!"

Gu Xu raised his head and saw Shi Xiaohan's petite figure at a glance.

She was walking towards him from inside the house, smiling.

Although she was carrying a heavy "Kunwu Knife" on her back, she walked very lightly, jumping and jumping like a little sparrow happily hunting for food.

Under the sunlight, her fair face glowed with a lustrous luster, as smooth and clear as white porcelain.

"Shixia, I haven't seen you for a few days. I thought you had gone to retreat to break through." Gu Xu looked at her oval face with a smile and said with a smile.

"Master Chen hasn't come back, I can't apply to enter the 'Mingzhi Hall' yet," Shi Xiaohan shrugged and responded, "Also, breaking through the third realm 'Naihe Bridge' is much more difficult than I thought, I am now There are still some clues.”

"Do you really hope to obtain a powerful magical power when you break through the realm?" Gu Xu read through the practice books, and easily guessed the troubles she encountered.

"That's right," Shi Xiaohan nodded, "the elders in my family wrote in their practice notes, 'Supernatural power is the embodiment of spiritual will, and it is also the flower that blooms from everyone's soul in a desperate situation'.

"They say that to awaken supernatural powers, you need not only talent and determination, but also strong emotional stimulation.

"But I don't know how to find the so-called strong emotional stimulation, I can't find an excuse to quarrel with my father...

"Gu Xu, I know you've read a lot of books. Do you have any ideas on this issue?"

Gu Xu thought for a moment and replied, "For example...you have completed a rewarding task after going through hardships and obstacles, and felt a strong sense of accomplishment?"

"You bastard, your mind is full of tasks and rewards - any other suggestions?"

"Like getting rich overnight?"

"I'm not interested in money. Think again."

"Then I'll think about it... If you come to Piaoxiang Lou with great expectations, want to have a delicious meal, taste the sweet and sour carp and yellow-braised chicken there, but unexpectedly find that Piaoxiang Lou has closed down, and the boss brings The proprietress ran away with money overnight..."

Hearing his words, the smile on Shi Xiaohan's face gradually subsided.

The sense of substitution is too strong, and she has begun to get angry.

"Then I'd rather not break through!" She pouted and clenched her fists angrily, like a fluffy chick.

Seeing her like this, Gu Xu unconsciously had an urge to reach out and touch her head, and straighten her messy sideburns like a cat.

But he restrained the thought.

Shi Xiaohan was only about 1.5 meters tall.

She has been deeply troubled by this.

She was very afraid that after someone touched her head, she would not be taller.

Therefore, anyone who wanted to touch her head, such as Cui Tianyou, such as the housekeeper of the Shi family's mansion, was severely beaten by her.

Gu Xu is a person who cherishes life.He didn't dare to take risks.

…………

"By the way, Gu Xu, are you planning to take on a new mission now?" After a while, Shi Xiaohan looked at the bulletin board in front and asked Gu Xu, "Would you like me to go with you? In the past few days Without killing ghosts, the broadsword on my back is already hungry and thirsty."

Gu Xu was waiting for her words.

"Okay!" he laughed without thinking.

The divination results just now told him that there might be some hidden worries in this task.

However, if sometimes Xiaohan, a cultivator who has almost half footed into the third realm, goes with him, even in the face of a sudden crisis, he can feel a little more confident.

Hearing his words, Shi Xiaohan's face suddenly burst into a smile.

She stood on tiptoe, reached out and patted Gu Xu's shoulder: "I know that you are very lacking in meritorious service now. This time, the reward is all yours, and I will not share it with you."

Gu Xu's heart warmed, but he still said stubbornly: "But I can't let you work in vain..."

"After the mission is over, you can just take me to your house for a meal!" Shi Xiaohan put one hand on his chest and touched his chin with the other, and said with a big sister's demeanor.

It's a pity that because of her height, her posture doesn't look majestic, only cute.

"Alright then." Gu Xu knew that now was not the time to be hypocritical.

So, the two of them left the Exorcism Division and walked side by side towards the mission's destination, Xunliu Street, along the bluestone-paved street.

In the process of walking, Shi Xiaohan seemed to raise his chest and look straight ahead, but he couldn't help but secretly glance at the handsome young man beside him from the corner of his eyes——

The early morning sun cast a golden halo on the outline of his face, making him look more dazzling than ever.

However, as soon as Gu Xu showed signs of turning her head to look at her, she would immediately withdraw her gaze, pretending to be nonchalant, even a little cold.

"Xiaohan, you seem to be very happy today!" Gu Xu suddenly said.

"No!" Shi Xiaohan immediately denied, "Where did you see it?"

"I see you walking and jumping, and you don't look down at your feet. You are about to step on horse manure, and you didn't even notice."

"what--"

Hearing his words, Shi Xiaohan looked down and suddenly let out an exclamation.

I saw her delicate and clean embroidered shoes, less than half an inch away from a pile of stinky horse manure.

She immediately retracted her foot in fright.

"Gu Xu, you didn't remind me earlier!"

"I thought that Shi Xia, as a monk in the second realm, should have discovered it early on with your powerful consciousness-"

"--Do not laugh!"

"I didn't laugh, I didn't laugh."
