"The Chief of Staff really thinks highly of you," Chu Fengge raised his teacup and took a sip of the hot tea, his eyes clearly showing jealousy. "He believes that you will become the most critical person in the Lu family's murderous house case."

The person who broke the situation - you have to know that as a high-ranking saint, the Chief Secretary rarely gives such positive comments to others."

"But Mr. Chu, many people with a higher level than me have not been able to solve this case," Gu Xu lowered his head and said humbly, "I really don't know how capable I am, but I have been fooled by the Chief Executive.

Take it so seriously.”

Chu Fengge said in a cold tone: "Because based on the existing intelligence, we know that this case cannot be solved by relying on brute force - in that weird and haunted house, wisdom is much more important than force."

Hearing this, Gu Xu couldn't help complaining in his heart: It turns out that the Lu family's haunted house is a dungeon that needs to be solved! No wonder the talented Mr. Chu failed to pass the level successfully - he doesn't seem to be very smart.

Look.

But this simple reason obviously cannot convince Gu Xu.

"This Lu family's haunted house has left so many monks helpless. There must be 'evil spirit' level ghosts in it, and there may be more than one," Gu Xu continued, "With my current level of cultivation, if they suddenly attack

, I have absolutely no ability to protect myself. I am still young and don’t want to die in vain there.”

Chu Fengge chuckled: "Master Chief has already guessed that you would say this. He has already made adequate preparations for you in terms of ensuring your life safety.

"First of all, I will enter the haunted house with you, be your assistant and bodyguard, and deal with all the ghosts who want to harm you. If anything happens to you inside, I will be punished by the chief executive."

Chu Fengge's words sounded a bit strange.

It was obvious that he was not very willing to do this.

Gu Xu raised his head and glanced at Chu Fengge, still feeling insecure.

He felt that this bodyguard was not reliable at all.

"Second," Chu Fengge paused for a moment, took out a shiny transparent bead from his pocket, handed it to Gu Xu's hand, and said at the same time, "The name of this bead is 'Breaking Sky Bead'"

', it is a very precious life-saving magic weapon specially prepared for you by the Lord Chief. When you are in danger of life, you only need to crush it, and you can instantly travel through the void and escape to anywhere within a thousand miles.

Where you want to go. Even if you are trapped in the enemy's formation, or the enemy uses spells to block the space, the 'Air Breaking Bead' will still be effective."

The last time Chu Fengge escaped from the Lu family's haunted house, he used a "sky-breaking bead".

However, he didn't want to mention this embarrassing incident in front of Gu Xu.

Gu Xu took the beads and finally felt a little confident deep in his heart.

"Master Chu, please be sure to convey my gratitude to the Chief of Staff for me," he said sincerely, and then he changed the topic and continued to speak in a worried tone, "But I am still a little worried now. Because in my

In the past missions, I have encountered some ghosts with control-type abilities - some can make people faint instantly, some can make people imprisoned in place and cannot move, and some can even turn people into

Puppet, do what they want.

"I'm very scared. If I encounter this type of ghost, I won't even have a chance to crush the 'Breaking Sky Pearl', so I can only wait for death silently."

Chu Fengge once heard the Chief of Staff say that Gu Xu's work style has always been very cautious - he will never act easily without being completely sure.

But he didn't expect that Gu Xu would actually worry about so many details.

"Master Chief has already considered this," Chu Fengge said as he took out a bracelet made of black jade from his pocket and handed it to Gu Xu, "The name of this bracelet is 'Substitute Bracelet'

.It can withstand a fatal attack from the outside world for its owner, and at the same time can remove all negative effects and controls on the owner. As long as this magic weapon is here, you will definitely have the opportunity to crush the 'Breaking Sky Bead' and escape."

What a good thing!

Gu Xu took the "substitute bracelet" and sighed in his heart.

"In addition," Chu Fengge continued, "Master Sishou will also rely on the magic of heaven and your 'divine token' to keep an eye on your situation at all times. If these magic weapons still can't save you,

He will come personally from Luojing to ensure that you are safe."

Hearing this, Gu Xu couldn't help but be stunned for a second.

At this moment, he simply doubted whether he was the illegitimate son left behind by the Chief of Staff.

"Master Chief... He must have thought too carefully," he sighed from the bottom of his heart. "I can't believe that a monk with a low level of cultivation like me can be so loved by Master Chief..."

"Master Chief Secretary said that you have the qualifications of a saint," Chu Fengge said expressionlessly, "his help to you now is just an investment in you. He hopes that you can grow up as soon as possible and share his worries in the future.

"

"As a monk of the Exorcism Department, it is my duty to share the worries of the head of the department."

Although the balance in his heart was slightly tilted, Gu Xu was still hesitant.

"In addition, the Chief Secretary also mentioned that the case of the Lu family's murderous house is a disaster for others, but it is an opportunity for you," Chu Fengge continued, "the ancestors of the Lu family once entered Taoism through poetry and painting, and rose to the level of

Immortal. Part of the inheritance he left behind, including the Lu family's heirloom 'Jinghong Brush', is still in the abandoned mansion, waiting for the arrival of the destined person.

"If you read through the classics, you should know that the 'Jinghong Brush' has the ability to materialize poetic and painting images and use it as a means of killing. Using it to draw talismans can also take the power of your talismans to a higher level."

"But, Mr. Chu, I remember it was mentioned in the book that after the Lu family in Qingzhou was confiscated, all the property returned to the national treasury——"

"——That's just worldly property," Chu Fengge interrupted him, "'Jinghong Brush' is one of the 'Twelve Famous Weapons'. It has its own spirituality and can choose its own owner - even Qingzhou

Members of the Lu family must also be recognized by it in order to exert its power. If it does not want to be found, then it will hide itself and no one can find it.

"Its last owner was Miss Lu Shiyao of the Lu family, known as the 'Suxue Fairy'. After Lu Shiyao's death, it disappeared.

"Master Chief thinks you can try your luck."

Hearing this, Gu Xu sighed lightly and still remained silent.

At this moment, he was rapidly calculating the benefits and losses in his mind, calculating his input-output ratio in this case——

Input:

1. A lot of time (if used to practice, maybe I can break through to the "Third Song of Underworld" or even the "Fourth Song of Underworld"...);

2. A certain degree of risk;

3. Due to the historical sensitivity of Lu Huan's treason, if I participate in this case, there is a certain probability that I will be involved in the power whirlpool of the Da Qi Dynasty, which is not in line with my obscene development plan;

…

reward:

1. A large number of meritorious deeds;

2. A high-quality spell;

3. The favor of the Chief Secretary;

4. May become the owner of Jinghong Pen (very small probability);

…

Seeing that he was still reluctant to make up his mind, Chu Fengge couldn't help but frown.

"Actually, the Chief of Staff also mentioned that there is a reason that can make you put aside all your worries and carry out this task willingly."

"What's the reason?" Gu Xu raised his head and looked at him.

"Chen Jisheng, the governor of Yishui, Department of Exorcism, once broke into the restricted area of ​​Yishan without permission. Unfortunately, he was hit by the 'frost condensation' curse of the Snow Girl," Chu Fengge said in a calm tone, "This curse will be in his meridians.

If it continues to work for a long time, as time goes by, his true essence will gradually solidify, causing him to stop making progress in his future cultivation, or even regress;

"It will also have a significant negative impact on his physical health, causing him to suffer long-term physical and mental torture and shortening his lifespan.

"Master Chief said that the 'frost melting' technique that can break the 'frost condensation' curse is hidden in the Lu family's haunted house——"

"——Master Chu, why didn't you tell us about such an important thing earlier?" Gu Xu suddenly stood up and interrupted him, "Let's set off quickly without wasting any more time."

"Let's go now? Where to go?" Seeing Gu Xu's sudden 180-degree reversal of attitude, Chu Fengge was confused for a moment.

"Lu's haunted house."
