Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 68
After a fierce battle, Gu Xu's face turned pale.

"Meteor walking on the moon" is a martial art after all - it consumes not only real energy, but also physical strength.

Gu Xu has always been weak.

Using "Meteor Walks the Moon" twice in a row was comparable to running a kilometer long distance, and his heart started to ache.

"I still have to find a way to repair my body in the future..." he thought silently in his heart.

At the same time, as the sky regained its clarity, the surrounding people finally recovered from the battle that ended in an instant.

Just now, when the spirit of the tree demon was possessed by the young woman, the ferocious appearance left a deep psychological shadow on them.

These mortals have no resistance in front of the tree demon, and can only be slaughtered by it, almost becoming its belly.

Fortunately, the practitioners of the Exorcism Department came to their side at the critical moment of life and death and helped them out of the crisis.

Like a rain in time.

Although this young man is young, he looks weak and indifferent.

However, in front of him, the aggressive tree demon's soul splitting couldn't survive even two rounds, and completely evaporated from the world.

"This young adult is a real strong man." Looking at Gu Xu's thin back, everyone could not help but sigh silently in their hearts.

At this time, Bai Qingcang, the patriarch of the Bai family, came to Gu Xu and knelt on the ground with a "bang", saying sincerely, "Bai Qingcang, on behalf of myself and my family, Thank you for your life-saving grace. If you hadn't arrived in time today, I'm afraid our whole family would have been killed."

Gu Xu stretched out his hand to help him up: "I don't need to be polite. It's our duty as exorcists to destroy that monster."

Bai Qingcang looked at Gu Xu's calm appearance and sighed softly.

It can be seen that in the eyes of this young cultivator, today's major event, which concerns the life and death of the entire Bai family, is nothing more than a small effort.

"Where did you learn this 'God Jumping' ceremony today?" After a while, Gu Xu thought of an important question and asked Bai Qingcang.

"Sir, we found this from an ancient book at home," Bai Qingcang replied respectfully, "because our family has encountered some troubles recently, so we went to the doctor in a hurry, wanting to pass this ancient book. Ceremony, invite the wise old ancestor back, and let her guide us in the labyrinth."

Gu Xu said solemnly: "You must not believe any rituals or spells related to summoning the undead in the future, let alone try them casually.

"Even if you can really summon the spirits of the ancestors, they have a high probability that they have already suffered from the erosion of yin and turned into irrational ghosts.

"The officials of our exorcism department can't guarantee that they will be able to rush to your side in time every time danger occurs in the future."

"Remember the teachings of adults." Bai Qingcang lowered his head and kept Gu Xu's words firmly in his mind.

At the same time, Bai Qingcang also asked the housekeeper to hand over a thick stack of silver notes, hoping that Gu Xu would accept it as a reward for this life-saving grace.

"A little courtesy is not a respect, I hope the adults will accept it with a smile!"

Although Gu Xu, as a poor laborer, was very greedy for these banknotes, he still shook his head resolutely, and simply refused.

The regulations of the Daqi Exorcism Department clearly require officials to be honest and honest, and it is forbidden to accept bribes from the common people during the mission.

After all, the gap between cultivators and mortals is too great.

In the absence of discipline constraints, some practitioners may use their extraordinary strength to secretly extort ordinary people in the form of "rewards".

Gu Xu understood that it was these strict regulations that enabled the practitioners and mortals of the Daqi Dynasty to perform their duties, live in harmony, and live a peaceful life in the established order.

If the cultivators lose their shackles and allow them to act recklessly with their extraordinary power, then they are likely to turn from "heroes" in the eyes of civilians into beings that are even more terrifying than ghosts.

Until then, I am afraid that this world will be completely dominated by the law of the jungle.

…………

A few minutes later, Gu Xu and Shi Xiaohan left Xunliu Street and set off to return to the Exorcism Division.

On the way back, Shi Xiaohan couldn't help complaining: "Gu Xu, can you stop killing the ghosts so quickly in the future? At least leave some room for this heroine!"

Gu Xu shrugged helplessly: "Sorry, Lady Heroine, I didn't expect the tree demon to be so weak, and even slapped it to death with a slap."

Shi Xiaohan put his hands on his hips and squinted his eyes: "How dare you stand in front of this heroine, get cheap and still be good?"

"Forgiveness of the heroine!" Gu Xu raised his hands and said with a smile.

Shi Xiaohan suddenly burst out laughing.

She has always been a person with no sense of wealth, and her joys, sorrows and sorrows are clearly written on her face, and she can't hold back if she wants to.

Although she has no sense of participation in this mission today.

But she followed Gu Xu to find Liujie, and she was very happy to see him slaying demons and demons in front of everyone, showing his great power, and seeing all kinds of unique skills of street performers.

At this moment, the two passed by the busker who performed the "rat play" again.

The old man who guarded the warehouse was still standing by, watching the mice jumping up and down on the wooden frame, dancing gracefully, and performing wonderful plays.

"Aren't you two going to do a mission? Why did you come back here again?" The old man couldn't help asking when he saw the figures of Gu Xu and Shi Xiaohan.

"The mission has been completed," Gu Xu smiled slightly, "We are going back to do business."

"Boy, don't brag. I haven't finished watching a single play yet. How could you have finished the task? It's not just perfunctory, right?"

"That ghost was too weak, and was slapped to death by Gu Xu," Shi Xiaohan said with a smile, "I didn't even have a chance to shoot."

The old man stared at Gu Xu, scrutinized him from head to toe, then turned his head and continued to watch the "mouse play" attentively.

"You guys go back quickly! Don't interfere with my viewing of the play!"

"No problem!" Shi Xiaohan said cheerfully.

Then she grabbed Gu Xu's sleeve, dragged him forward, and came to a stand in front of a candied gourd.

I saw a bunch of red and round hawthorns strung together, wrapped in a layer of glittering sugar coating, with a seductive luster in the sun, Shi Xiaohan couldn't help but suck saliva.

"I want two candied haws!" she said to the hawker.

The hawker glanced at the clothes of the two of them, but he didn't expect that the Lord of the Exorcism Department would patronize his humble stall, and he couldn't help being flattered.

"Sir, a total of forty cents!" The hawker enthusiastically handed the two candied haws to Shi Xiaohan.

When Shi Xiaohan reached out and touched his pocket, he found that there were only a few large-value silver bills in his pocket, and no copper coins.

"Gu Xu, have you brought change?" She raised her head, blinked, and looked at Gu Xu beside her.

Gu Xu hesitated for two seconds, then nodded.

In fact, according to his usual style, he doesn't like to spend money on snacks - after all, these things are not necessities of life, and they will not help his cultivation.

But seeing Shi Xiaohan's drooling appearance, he still took out the copper coin from his pocket and handed it to the hawker.

Shi Xiaohan stuffed one candied haws into Gu Xu's hands, while she held the other one, stuck out her tongue, and licked the crystal icing sugar wrapped around the hawthorn with relish.

"Use a candied gourd to hire a bodyguard! Gu Xu, your deal today is a good deal!"

"But didn't you say before that you want me to invite you to dinner?"

"It's all the same. You still owe me several meals anyway."
