After a day of indulgence, Gu Xu's life is back on track.
When the sun rose, he took the pamphlet Chu Fengge gave him to the lobby of the Yishui Exorcism Department and met his boss Chen Jisheng again.
"Have you encountered any troubles again?" Chen Jisheng put down the official document in his hand, raised his head and asked, "Do you need my help?"
Gu Xu shook his head and said: "I just have a difficult choice and want to seek Mr. Chen's advice."
"Difficult to choose?"
Gu Xu put the booklet Chu Fengge gave him on Chen Jisheng's desk and said with a smile: "After I complete the task of Lu's haunted house, I can choose a high-quality spell as a reward. But this catalog says There are so many good things that I can hardly see them all.”
"Gu Xu, aren't you known as 'reading through the classics'?" Chen Jisheng chuckled, "Shouldn't you know this kind of thing better than me?"
"The authorities are confused, but the onlookers are clear," Gu Xu responded, "It is precisely because I have read many books and learned many spells that I know that the things written in this catalog are all excellent. It's easier to think 'I want it all'.
"If you were Mr. Chen, you might be able to see more clearly what I need most right now."
"You mean I am ill-read and ignorant?" Chen Jisheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a joking tone.
"I don't dare," Gu Xu shook his head and immediately denied, "I want to say that Mr. Chen has a sharp eye."
"You boy, you are really good at talking," Chen Jisheng said with a faint smile, "No wonder you are so popular with girls."
Gu Xu remained silent.
Seeing his appearance, Chen Jisheng stopped smiling, then took the pamphlet and began to read its contents carefully.
On each page of the booklet, there is written the name and brief introduction of a high-quality spell.
In addition, it also records the cultivation experiences of some predecessors.
After all, the biggest difference between high-grade spells and mid-grade spells is that they contain the true meaning of the Great Dao - only after comprehending the true meaning of the Great Dao can the power of high-grade spells be fully unleashed.
This also means that when monks practice high-grade spells, they need to conform to the philosophy of the founder of the spell to a certain extent.
If the three views are not consistent, it will be difficult to achieve positive results.
For example, a person who is kind-hearted and soft-hearted will never be able to practice the "Shura Body" with overwhelming murderous intent; a person who is nostalgic for flowers will never be able to practice the "Forgetfulness Technique" that requires cutting off the worldly bond.
Therefore, the practice and understanding of the predecessors has great reference value in the process of selecting spells for future generations.
On the title page of this book, there is also a line written by Luo Chuan, the head of the Exorcism Department: "The most powerful thing is what suits you."
"Do you have any preference?" Chen Jisheng asked Gu Xu while flipping through the book, "Do you want something like movement, control, or -"
"——The more lethal, the better." Gu Xu stood nearby and said without hesitation.
He knew that he now needed a highly lethal spell.
Although the "Ghost Killing Talisman" also has strong power.
But after all, it is only effective against ghosts and monsters, and poses no threat to humans.
If he encounters humans like Tang Hui who are more afraid of ghosts than ghosts in the future, Gu Xu doesn't have enough deterrent means at hand yet.

"The Art of Inducing Thunder", "The Curse of Falling Over the Sea", "Jade Rainbow Penetrating the Sun", "Sea of Purgatory Fire", "Mountain Tai's Pressure", "Stars Falling and Earthquake", "Luan Soars and Phoenix Dances", "Chasing the Wind and Snow"...
The names of every spell in this catalog looked quite impressive, and coupled with the miraculous descriptions, Chen Jisheng was dazzled by it, and even he himself was faintly moved by it.
"How about this spell?" Chen Jisheng pointed to a page in the book and said to Gu Xu, "If I remember correctly, you have just practiced a new fire attribute skill recently, and it should be very suitable for it. of."
Gu Xu took a serious look, then smiled and said: ""Seven Styles of Burning Heaven"... Mr. Chen, no one in the exorcism department has mastered this spell for hundreds of years. You really have confidence in me!"
On this page of the directory, the first message is as follows:
"This spell is powerful and easy to learn. If you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
The next few messages are:
"Senior made a mistake!"
"The first message is a lie. You must not believe it! If you choose it, you will regret it for the rest of your life!"
"Once you enter the Burning Sky, it is as deep as the sea, and Qingsi is a passerby from now on."
"If I unfortunately die while practicing the Seven Styles of Burning Heaven, please help me collect my body."
"This spell looks like a book from heaven... If anyone can understand it, I will kneel down and call him grandpa."
"Five years have passed...I haven't even learned the first step of the Seven Styles of Burning Heaven. Is this spell really taught to people?"
"..."
It does seem a bit daunting.
Chen Jisheng raised his head, looked at Gu Xu and said with a smile: "Boy named Gu, you actually have an idea in mind, right?
"When I turned to this page, your eyes were a little brighter than usual - if I guessed correctly, you didn't come here for advice at all, but came to me to find confidence, right? "
Gu Xu nodded without denying: "Master Chen really understands me."
He paused for a moment and then continued: "The founder of the "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven" is Senior Chiyangzi - he is the master of the contemporary Da Qi State Master. He once had a cultivation level close to the peak of the eighth realm, only one short You can ascend to immortality in one step.
"Back then, with the "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven", he was almost invincible in the entire wilderness - there should be no spells stronger than it in this catalog.
"Because Senior Chiyangzi is also a Talisman Master and is good at formations - so I guess that the reason why the "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven" is so difficult to learn is because it involves the secrets of Talisman Dao and formations, which is more difficult than ordinary The spell is much more complex.
"Plus it's a fire-attribute spell, and I feel like it's tailor-made for me."
Gu Xu's words may sound a bit arrogant, but his tone of voice is very calm, as if he is describing a matter of course.
"Then why are you hesitant?" Chen Jisheng asked, "Based on what I know about you, you shouldn't be the kind of person who would be intimidated by its difficulty."
Gu Xu replied calmly: "Because when senior Chiyangzi was just one step away from ascending to immortality, he suddenly went crazy, abandoned his cultivation, and became a mortal with no power to bind a chicken. Died of illness later.
"So I suspect that the 'true meaning of the avenue' he is looking for may be problematic."
