After lunch, Shi Xiaohan left Gu Xu's house.

The small room became silent again.

"I wonder if this priceless snow ginseng can extend my life..." Gu Xu looked at the empty bowl in front of him, and this thought came to his mind.

While he was thinking this, he took out a copper coin from his pocket, gently tossed it up, and silently recited the name of God, trying to get the answer to the question through divination.

In the blink of an eye, the copper coin clattered onto the table.

Back side up.

This obviously proves that snow ginseng can only improve his physical health to a certain extent, but it cannot increase his longevity - if he cannot reach the seventh level before the age of thirty, reshape his body, and become a saint, he will still

Will die young.

“Perhaps what the astrology book said is right,” he thought to himself, “the reason why I have a short lifespan is due to my destiny... My physical weakness and illness are just side effects...

"But the question is, if I am really that rich and powerful person with the most powerful Ziwei destiny, why am I still so poor now?"

Looking at his simple and narrow house, the old and simple furniture, and the few pills on hand, he couldn't help but shook his head.

…………

Then, as usual, Gu Xu sat cross-legged on the bamboo mat, took an "Eternal Brightness Pill", closed his eyes, silently recited the formula of "Red Flame True Art", and entered the state of cultivation.

The Yin Qi between heaven and earth turned into a whirlpool and poured into his body. Then, under his repeated tempering, it turned into true energy as hot as lava, roaring and roaring in his meridians.

An hour passed.

When the effect of "Changming Dan" was exhausted, he successfully advanced to the realm of "The Second Song of Huangquan" step by step.

At this time, he clearly felt that the true energy in his body had become more powerful and powerful than before.

…………

This afternoon, Gu Xu did three things at home: improving his realm, practicing the "Meteor Walking on the Moon" movement technique, and perfecting the third generation "Tai Shang Arctic Demon Suppressing and Demon Killing Talisman".

In addition, he also entertained two guests at home.

The first guest was Shi Xiaohan's maid named "Chen Xi". She was a young girl with delicate features and light freckles on her face.

Chen Xi was originally the personal maid of Shi Xiaohan's grandmother Zhao Chanyi - at that time, her name was still called "Nian Xue".

When Xiaohan got married, Zhao Chanyi gave this maid to Shi Xiaohan.

Shi Xiaohan felt that the name "Nianxue" was too feminine and graceful and did not fit with his bold and uninhibited heroine style, so he changed the maid's name to "Qingshuang".

"Qingshuang" means that the light of the sword is as green as frost.

In the Daqi Dynasty, the term "Zidian Qingshuang" was often used to refer to swords.

Later, Shi Xiaohan felt that the artistic conception of the name "Qingshuang" was too serious, so he changed the maid's name to "Chenxi", which means "brightness in the morning".

After learning these things, Gu Xu felt very sympathetic to this maid.

In just one year, I changed my name twice in succession. It is probably not easy to adapt to it.

"Master Gu, this is a gift from my young lady," the maid Chenxi bowed and then respectfully handed three bottles containing "Eternal Life Pill" to Gu Xu's hand, "Please accept it with pleasure.

."

"Please convey my gratitude to your lady for me!" Gu Xu took the porcelain vase and said with a sincere smile.

At this moment, he could no longer count how many pills he owed Shi Xiaohan.

"When I gain strength and money in the future, I can slowly repay her..." he thought helplessly.

The second guest is Ma Qin, the newly promoted ninth-level police officer of the Yishui Exorcism Department.

As soon as he entered Gu Xu's house, Ma Qin clasped his fists in his hands and bowed his head to the ground towards Gu Xu.

"Brother Ma, there's no need to be polite! Let's talk about something!" Seeing this scene, Gu Xu immediately stepped forward and helped Ma Qin up.

"I'm here to thank Mr. Gu for saving my life." Ma Qin raised his head and said sincerely.

"A life-saving grace?"

Gu Xu frowned slightly.

Since participating in the promotion assessment in the illusion of "Wen Guhu", he has never performed any mission with Ma Qin, let alone when he saved Ma Qin's life.

"It was you who drew the 'ghost-killing talisman', Mr. Gu," Ma Qin quickly answered Gu Xu's confusion, "Yesterday I received a task, asking me to kill a monster named

The ghost of 'Xi Nang'.

"This ghost's vitality is much stronger than I imagined. I exhausted all my true energy and only chopped it to pieces, but I couldn't kill it. And it has the ability to quickly recover itself. If it hadn't been for me before

I exchanged five of the 'ghost-killing charms' you drew in the warehouse, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back here alive."

"Brother Ma, this is the 'ghost-killing talisman' that you exchanged for yourself based on your own ability. You don't need to come and thank me." Gu Xu waved his hand and responded.

"No, no, no," after hearing his words, Ma Qin immediately shook his head, "Mr. Gu, this is because the 'ghost-killing talisman' you drew is different and frighteningly powerful - if this talisman had been drawn by someone else,

I'm afraid it won't be enough to help me get out of danger."

"What is the effect of using the 'Ghost Killing Talisman' on that 'Xi Nang'?" As a monk who loves to research and improve spells, Gu Xu couldn't help but ask.

"Very good," Ma Qin replied without hesitation, "At that time, before I could react, the 'Xi Nang' instantly turned into ashes.

"Now, Master Gu, your 'ghost-killing talisman' is very popular in our yamen! This month's talismans have all been redeemed, and even next month's share has been booked in advance!

"Oh, it's a pity that I don't have the talent to learn the Tao of Talisman. Otherwise, I would definitely become your teacher and learn how to draw the 'Ghost Killing Talisman' from you!"

…………

After Ma Qin left, Gu Xu sat back on the bamboo mat again, preparing to start practicing the "solar eclipse" spell and continue to strengthen his spiritual consciousness.

However, at this moment, the "God Machine Token" on his desk once again shone brightly.

"Is there a new mission at Shenji Camp?"

He stood up, walked to the desk, reached out and picked up the token.

A few lines of text suddenly appeared in his field of vision:

"The Lu family's haunted house in Qingzhou Prefecture has been haunted for many years. The Exorcism Department has sent people to investigate many times, but to no avail. Please accept the task..."

"I refuse!"

After Gu Xu read this, he immediately put the 'divine machine token' back to its original place and ignored it.

Are you kidding me?

The case of Lu's haunted house being haunted is a case that even the fourth-level monk Chu Fengge can't solve. Let me, a weak, pitiful and helpless second-level monk, solve it?

This simply wants me to die!
