Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 94 The Imperial Token
The cold wind raged through the Lu family's mansion, and snowflakes fluttered in the air like torn cotton wool, falling aimlessly everywhere.

The dark clouds pressed down heavily on the ground, making the environment in the house even more gloomy.

The houses were covered in frost, leaning and moaning under the pressure of the wind.Everything bends, trembles, crouches, and whines tragically.

At this moment, Tang Hui, the exorcist minister, was walking in the narrow corridor.

Because he has stayed in this house for 15 years, he is very familiar with the environment inside—even if the mansion is intricate, with countless rooms and courtyards, and winding corridors and corridors, he can quickly find the right place at every fork. direction.

At this moment, dozens of vague figures appeared silently in the darkness.

With the powerful consciousness of the fifth-level monks, Tang Hui could easily see their appearance.

They are all evil ghosts dressed as ghosts.

The skin is green and the body is large.

He wore a soft-winged gauze hat on his head, a blood-stained round-necked half-length gown, and sloping soap shoes under his feet. He had a long beard and stared at a pair of round eyes.

In their hands they held chains made of frost and knives made of blood.

This is undoubtedly a chilling picture.

Normally, anyone hit by them would be chained to icicles and tortured in pain.

But Tang Hui's heart was not panic at all.

He smiled calmly, and took out a token made of brass from his pocket—

The front is engraved with the words "Daqi Imperial Commissioner" in block letters, and a five-clawed golden dragon is engraved on the back, surrounded by cloud patterns, which looks extraordinarily delicate.

At this moment, a dazzling golden light burst out from the token.

Then, the sound of thunder faintly sounded in the darkness, and the phantoms of golden dragons and auspicious clouds appeared—in this eerie and terrifying place, it seemed sacred and noble, and it could make people feel the urge to pay homage to them in their hearts.

After seeing this scene, those huge and ghostly-looking ghosts suddenly froze in place for a moment, then turned away, and did not stay near Tang Hui for a moment.

It seems that the phantoms of those five-clawed golden dragons make them especially afraid.

Tang Hui smiled and moved on.

This imperial envoy token given to him by His Majesty the Emperor has sheltered him in this terrifying haunted house for 15 years—even if he encounters terrible evil spirits, he will be safe and sound.

"Maybe... I will have the opportunity to leave this haunted house soon!" Tang Hui thought silently in his heart.

He only hoped that the young man in green shirt with outstanding literary talent could successfully pass the two tests that he came down to, so that the miraculous Jinghong pen could reappear in the world.

In this way, his 15 years of dormancy will not be in vain.All his hard work will eventually pay off handsomely.

…………

at the same time.

The servants' courtyard in the northwest corner of the Lu family's mansion.

After Gu Xu wrote the last couplet, all the lanterns hanging on the big elm tree disappeared; and the small courtyard, illuminated by the blood-red light, instantly returned to its original appearance.

Gu Xu understood that he had successfully passed the second test set by "Jinghong Pen".

"Now that I have written poems and couplets, when the third test comes, what will I be asked to write?" He secretly guessed in his heart, "Is it necessary to write lyrics? Or to guess riddles?"

The expression of Chu Fengge next to him was a little dazed.

He did not expect that Gu Xu could pass two levels so easily.

"Oh, it's no wonder that Lord Si Shou has to name the guy Gu Xu to solve the case of the Lu family's murder house," he thought, "his ability to play with words may not even be the case for the scholars who have been named on the golden list. better."

However, the better Gu Xu performed, the more anxious Chu Fengge became.

After all, this meant that it would be much more difficult for him to be number one in the world in the future.

You know, the masters of famous tools often have the ability to fight across borders.

If Gu Xu can pass three consecutive tests and become the new owner of "Jinghong Pen", coupled with his cultivation talent that is far beyond ordinary people - maybe in a few months, Chu Fengge will not be able to beat him.

"It would be great if I could also get a famous item..." Chu Fengge couldn't help sighing.

At this time, in his mind came up such things as "entering the Daqi Palace at night to steal the Tai'a sword", "one person and one horse alone in the northwest barbarian camp to rob the god drum", "looking for the Chen family owner in Xiangyang to borrow the holy word book for a long time" and so on. A series of extremely unreliable plans.

…………

Just as Chu Fengge fell into reverie, the spirit of the "Jinghong Pen" - the little girl with disheveled hair, once again stepped on the frost and snow on the ground and appeared in front of the two of them.

She raised her head and looked at Gu Xu.

The strands of hair blocked most of her face, making it difficult for Gu Xu to see her expression.

"Over the years, you are the third person to successfully pass the first two tests," the little girl said to Gu Xu in an ethereal and indifferent voice, "However, your poems are better than those of the other two."

It appears that the other two have both failed the third test.

Usually, the finale is the highlight.This third level is estimated to be difficult, and I must treat it with caution.

Gu Xu thought to himself.

Then he asked the little girl, "Can you give me the clues for the third test?"

The little girl didn't answer immediately, and didn't hand him a new flower note.

She bent down, picked up a dead branch from her feet, and quickly drew a snowflake pattern on the frozen ground.

"This is the clue," she said lightly, "I will wait for you at the destination."

As soon as she finished speaking, she left the small courtyard and soon disappeared into the darkness.

Looking at the snowflakes on the ground, Chu Fengge felt a bit of a headache: "This damn girl has never been able to speak human words well. It's really annoying to make us guess all kinds of riddles all day."

Gu Xu smiled and responded: "Master Chu, in fact, this time the riddle should be the easiest."

"Easiest?" Chu Fengge narrowed his eyes slightly, obviously not believing what Gu Xu said, "She painted a snowflake on the ground. But now the whole house is covered with ice and snow. Who knows what she meant by the 'purpose' What the hell is the place."

"I think, since the 'Jinghong Pen' tool spirit made this request, then the pattern of this snowflake may not refer to real snow, but a special place name," Gu Xu explained, "and the entire Lu family The only place in the mansion that is related to 'snow' is the 'Su Xue Yuan' where Lu Shiyao lived."

"Then let's set off as soon as possible without any further delay."

At this moment, in terms of solving the puzzle, Chu Fengge has completely trusted the answer given by Gu Xu, and no longer has the slightest doubt.
