"However, I am not willing to settle for the second best and choose other spells that are not suitable for me." Gu Xu sighed lightly and said.
That’s the trouble with having too many options.
What you get is always imperfect.
And what you don’t get is always in turmoil.
When the Exorcism Department Headquarters provides rewards, they always like to push a whole catalog into the hands of the monks to dazzle them - isn't this a way to encourage the monks to work hard by drawing a pie?
Seeing the young man's solemn eyes, Chen Jisheng smiled and said, "Gu Xu, do you remember what I said to you when I first taught you how to draw the 'Tai Shang Arctic Demon-Suppressing and Demon-Killing Talisman'?"
Gu Xu replied without hesitation: "When drawing a talisman, you must abide by strict rules. If you make a wrong stroke, the rune will not take effect."
"However, a few weeks later, you improved the 'Ghost Killing Talisman' according to your own ideas, making it several times more powerful than before," Chen Jisheng said in a relaxed tone, "From then on, I I think that all the magic spells in this world are just reference for you.
"Gu Xu, your goal is to become a saint before the age of thirty. And you also know that if you want to transcend the ordinary and become a saint, you must find your own 'Tao' - when you have your own 'Tao', even the predecessors If there are really hidden dangers in the 'Tao', there is nothing to be afraid of."
Gu Xu was silent for two seconds and nodded: "Indeed."
Chen Jisheng is indeed his teacher in name only.
Although Chen Jisheng can no longer give him guidance on practice as often as before, on this key issue, he can rely on his rich practice experience and life experience to help him clear up the fog and understand his true heart.
Chen Jisheng smiled and then said, "Actually, your eyes have already told me that you are very confident in this matter."
He knew that Gu Xu was a person with a steady character.
But sometimes, stability means too many worries - it is these worries that make Gu Xu look like a seventeen-year-old boy at all.
…………
After returning home, Gu Xu took out the "Magic Token" and tried to contact Chu Fengge.
After a moment, a message sent by Chu Fengge appeared in his field of vision——
[Kun: Have you finally chosen the spell you want? 】
[Suzaku: Yes, Lord Chu. I plan to choose "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven". 】
[Kun: "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven"? You want to choose that spell that no one has mastered for hundreds of years? 】
[Suzaku: I have made up my mind. 】
[Kun: Uh, okay...I'll go tell the chief executive right now. 】
[Suzaku: Thank you, Master Chu! 】
…………
Luojing City, the headquarters of the Exorcism Department.
At this moment, Chu Fengge was practicing in seclusion in the retreat room.
Gu Xu's meditation was interrupted by a message sent through the "God Machine Token".
Chu Fengge sat cross-legged on the spot, stunned for a long time, and said silently in her heart: Gu Xu, this kid, is really getting more and more arrogant - after getting the "Jinghong Pen", he thought he was great, and actually wanted to try the challenge The "Seven Burning Heaven Styles" known as the most difficult to practice at the Exorcist Department Headquarters? Who does he think he is? Reincarnation of an immortal? The true king is reborn?
But at this time, Chu Fengge suddenly remembered that the Chief of Staff had personally said that Gu Xu had an unprecedented first-class talent and an extremely noble fate - this level of talent was probably not as good as the reincarnation of a god. Not much different.
So Chu Fengge sighed again, wondering why he was born in the same era as such a monster.
Chu Fengge, as a close confidant of Chief Luo Chuan, naturally had secretly read through the book "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven".
Because he knew that if he could successfully learn this spell, then he could stand in front of the world with his head held high and proudly declare that he was a "genius not seen in a century" and "the first genius of the Da Qi Dynasty".
Unfortunately, he was not the one favored by fate.
In his eyes, "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven" is a celestial book that cannot be read at all.
He really couldn't understand why there were countless complicated runes in a fire-attribute spell - just looking at it made people feel dizzy and uncomfortable.
So before he even got started, he decisively chose to give up.
At the same time, he often said to others: "Smart people are practicing swordsmanship, and only fools can practice something as thankless as the "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven"."
Shangguan Jin also sneered at him: "Then you are worse than a fool."
Chu Fengge didn't take her words seriously.
Because he knew that Shangguan Jin had secretly read "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven" in private, but she would not admit it even to death.
…………
At this moment, Luo Chuan, the head of the exorcism department, appeared quietly next to Chu Fengge.
Chu Fengge immediately stood up from the ground, bowed his hands to Luo Si Shou and said, "I have met Mr. Si Shou."
Luo Chuan was heard to say lightly: "Which spell did Gu Xu choose?"
Chu Fengge replied: "The Seven Styles of Burning Heaven."
Luochuan was silent for a moment and murmured: "This is indeed the most suitable for him."
"Why did Master Sishou say that?" Chu Fengge asked.
"If there is anyone in this world who can learn and understand the magic left by Chi Yangzi, it must be Gu Xu," Luo Chuan replied lightly, "Because he understands the Tao of Talisman, understands formations, and also practices fire. The attributes of the exercises meet all the conditions for learning the "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven".
"In addition, in the process of practice, he never cared about the conventions or rules left by his predecessors. Although his practice is still shallow, he has the courage to dare to break the tradition."
Having said this, Luochuan paused for a few seconds, turned around and asked Chu Fengge: "Do you know what the true meaning of the great path hidden in "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven" is?"
Chu Fengge shook his head and answered honestly: "I don't understand."
He couldn't even understand the content of "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven", let alone comprehend its true meaning.
Luo Chuan sighed and answered: "Actually, I don't quite understand what the 'Tao' Chi Yangzi was pursuing back then. I only know that the last form of the "Seven Forms of Burning Heaven" is called 'Sun and Moon'. Change the sky' - I think, maybe this is the answer to the question, and also the reason why Chiyangzi became obsessed back then!"
Chu Fengge hesitated for a moment and asked: "Sir, if Gu Xu practices the "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven", will he become obsessed with it like senior Chi Yangzi in the future?"
Luo Chuan replied: "Chu Fengge, you have to understand that when Gu Xu practices any spell, he will never copy it mechanically, but will integrate it and turn it into his own thing. You should learn from him more about this in the future. study."
"That's what Lord Chief Shou said." Chu Fengge lowered his head and said.
From today on, there is another "other person's child" in Chu Fengge's life.
