Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 71
After leaving the yamen lobby, Gu Xu first went to the warehouse to collect the "Changming Pill".

Today, the hunchbacked old man is on vacation - he is still watching a play leisurely on Xunliu Street.

The man on duty in the warehouse in place of the old man was Dong Zhuangzhuang, a young handyman.

Gu Xu handed a note with the words "Changming Dan" to Dong Zhuangzhuang.

Dong Zhuangzhuang respectfully took the note, and then turned over a dozen drawers in the warehouse, but he couldn't find the "Changming Pill" that Gu Xu wanted.

"Sorry, my lord," Dong Zhuangzhuang lowered his head and said to Gu Xu timidly, "There are too many medicinal pills here, I don't know where the 'Changming Dan' is placed—"

"—The second drawer on your right." Gu Xu interrupted him lightly.

With the talent of [Bow Wen Qiang Ji], although Gu Xu didn't remember it deliberately, he could still easily recall where the hunchback old man put all kinds of medicinal herbs in the past.

"Yes, my lord!"

Dong Zhuangzhuang immediately took the "Changming Pill", bent over and handed his hands to Gu Xu.

"Thank you!" Gu Xu smiled.

At this moment, Gu Xu couldn't help but admire the hunchbacked old man.

Don’t look at the old man fishing all day, dozing off or reading scripts during working hours, but his business ability is leveraged – being able to accurately remember the placement of more than 100 items in the warehouse is something that ordinary people can do less than.

…………

According to the original plan, Gu Xu planned to go back to his home first and make a simple "health lunch" for Shi Xiaohan.

Then, taking advantage of the pills in hand now, I will use this afternoon to break through to the realm of "The Second Song of Yellow Springs".

However, at this moment, Cui Tianyou, the exorcist Sibapin Teruma, suddenly found him.

"Brother Gu, I remember telling you before that because some of the documents in the library are too old and have been gnawed by mice and moths, we are currently transcribing and sorting them out. There are many questions that I need to ask you. "

"Brother Cui, I remember you told me before that I have my share of the reward for this matter."

"The merit reward for copying documents will be divided into one third of you."

In Daqi Exorcism Division, not only can you earn meritorious feats by killing ghosts, but you can also get some meritorious rewards by copying documents, refining magic weapons, and doing logistical work.

It's just that for Gu Xu, the most efficient way to earn merit by killing ghosts, so he seldom thinks about other ways.

"No problem." Gu Xu readily agreed.

He never liked that his plans were suddenly disrupted.

Unless money is given - no, merit.

After all, in this world that requires a lot of resources to become stronger, it is not his talent but his poverty that limits the speed of Gu Xu's cultivation.

Then Gu Xu followed Cui Tianyou to the Yamen Bookstore, which he was very familiar with.

Beside the desk by the window, there are several scholars in tuxedos and square shawls, burying their heads in writing.

"Brother Cui, don't I remember that our yamen has a handyman who is responsible for managing books and materials? Why did you invite the students from Yishui County?" Gu Xu felt a little strange when he saw the attire of these scholars. .

"The handwriting of those handymen is really clumsy," Cui Tianyou sighed and explained, "It's like a ghost drawing a talisman, I guess only they can understand it.

"It's still the handwriting of these scholars that looks elegant and dignified."

Gu Xu walked over and took a look, and found that it was indeed the case.

The characters of these scholars are like woodblock printing, upright and respectful, horizontal and vertical, neat and tidy.

Gu Xu knew that this type of font was called "Taige Style".

Because of the imperial examinations of the Daqi Dynasty, they were required to answer papers in regular script; those with poor handwriting, even if they were full of knowledge, would not be on the list.

Therefore, scholars will practice "Taiku Style" hard to avoid losing "scroll points" because of writing problems, which will lead to the waste of ten years of cold windows.

At this time, the scholars also noticed Gu Xu's arrival.

They got up one after another, bowed to Gu Xu and said, "Xiaosheng has seen Master Gu."

In fact, these scholars are much older than Gu Xu.

When they called themselves "Xiaosheng" in front of Gu Xu, Gu Xu always felt a little weird.

"You know me?" he asked.

"Master Gu's reputation as a talented talent, who doesn't know?" a scholar said, "Zhou Jiaoyu has described your deeds in front of us more than once. He said that people like you are definitely not in the pool, In the future, he will surely rise to the top and become a powerful person with high authority like a national teacher and a chief minister."

As expected of a disciple taught by Zhou Jiaoyu!
This skill of blowing rainbow farts is quite the true inheritance of Zhou Jiaoyu!

Hearing this, Gu Xu sighed silently in his heart.

"Has there been any news from your county school recently?" he asked after pondering for a moment.

He remembered that when he went to Yishui County last month to learn to exorcise ghosts, he had mentioned to Zhou Jiaoyu that the Fengshui of the county school was not good and needed to be improved.

The scholar replied: "Recently, the county magistrate sent someone to survey the terrain east of the county school, and wanted to build a 'Jinxian Building' there. Unfortunately, Yishui County's financial constraints and insufficient funds have delayed construction."

Gu Xu nodded.

It seems that in this world, he is not the only one who is short of money.

…………

In the following period of time, Cui Tianyou took out many damaged books and asked Gu Xu many questions.

"In the third volume of Feihong Sword Art, there are two different versions of the description - 'Light as a feather' and 'Strong as a giant'."Brother Gu, do you know which one is correct? "

"The first one. The main point of "Feihong Sword Art" is to rise and fall lightly, to break through the force with skill, and to move a thousand pounds. If you pay too much attention to the momentum, it goes against its original intention."

"In a Feng Shui book, it is mentioned that 'Sangsong, cypress, pear and locust, do not enter the palace' - if these trees are planted in the house, it will bring misfortune. However, we often use the word 'Sangzi' to refer to Hometown. There is obviously a contradiction here, Brother Gu, how do you think this should be explained?"

"Not planting mulberry trees is because 'mulberry' sounds like 'mourning', which is considered unlucky. But in fact, this is just superstition, not Feng Shui. Mulberry trees do not have any effect on attracting yin. This Feng Shui book should be based on folk The speech is nonsense."

"..."

In this way, the two asked and answered, and quickly solved many difficult problems.

The scholars next to him also stopped their work unknowingly, looking at Gu Xu who was answering all kinds of tricky questions, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

"How does this Master Gu's brain grow? How can he memorize so much messy knowledge without error?" The scholars just felt incredible.

Thinking that they even memorized the Four Books and Five Classics that they have been studying day and night, the scholars have to admit painfully that the gap between people is really huge.

　Thank you book friend for your happiness.'s reward!
