While watching the battle, Shangguan Jin also habitually used his "heavenly calculation" magical power to predict the outcome of the battle in the ring.
The battle between the two people in the ring was presented in the form of data in her eyes.
However, she is not as well versed in the art of talisman and seal script as Gu Xu; she has only heard about unpopular martial arts such as "Evil Tiger Fist".
This caused some deviations between her estimated situation and the actual situation.
Because of this, Gu Xu's words amazed her.
Gu Xu does not have magical powers.
The fact that he can make such accurate predictions only shows that he knows the moves used by the two people in the ring very well.
As for the identity of Qi Yan, the young man in white, Shangguan Jin was also very curious——
After all, the man seemed personable and well-spoken.
Even if he discusses cultivation knowledge with a monster like Gu Xu, he is not completely at a disadvantage.
There is absolutely no way that he is an ordinary supervisor of the Imperial College.
…………
At this moment, the battle in the ring ended neatly.
Jia Xiuguang from Longmen Academy used the "Fierce Light Talisman" and "Xuan Ice Talisman" in sequence. He first stunned Chaozhou with an instantaneous burst of bright light, and then froze him with extremely cold black ice, finally killing him. The foot kicked out of the ring railing.
The gongs and drums sounded again, announcing his victory.
Since the number of talisman cultivators in the Da Qi Dynasty was very rare, his fancy talisman and seal scripts aroused admiration from the onlookers.
After all, the battle between sword cultivators and sword cultivators is ultimately a duel between weapons.
If the distance is too far, you can't see the details clearly.
But Fu Xiu's battle allows the audience to see black ice, fire, wind, rain, thunder and lightning.
If nothing else, at least the visual effects are great.
Therefore, there was endless applause from both sides of Luoshui River.
Only Gu Xu frowned slightly.
Because he felt that these talismans drawn by Jia Xiuguang had many flaws - if they were slightly improved, they could be more powerful.
"Master Gu seems to have something to say," Qi Yan, the young man in white, glanced at him, his eyes as sharp as a sword, as if he could see through his mind, "If I remember correctly, Master Gu, you are also a skilled practitioner. Fu Xiu, maybe you have some unique insights into this competition!"
Gu Xu thought for a moment and said, "My humble opinion... If Jia Xiuguang can make some minor adjustments to the 'Xuan Ice Talisman' in his hand, its freezing duration can be at least doubled."
After hearing his words, Qi Yan was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "Mr. Gu, do you know who taught him to draw the 'Xuanbing Talisman' in Jia Xiuguang's hand?"
"who?"
"It's his teacher, Fu Tao, who teaches at Longmen Academy."
Gu Xu smiled awkwardly and said no more.
He had learned that Fu Jiaoxi from Longmen Academy was a fifth-level monk. He was well-known in the field of Fu Dao and was considered an authoritative figure with a certain right to speak.
However, Gu Xu is now looking for trouble for him.
If this kind of thing is said out, it will definitely cause an uproar among the talisman masters of the Daqi Dynasty.
…………
During the short interval between the competition in the arena, melodious and melodious singing sounded from the lantern towers on both sides of Luoshui——
"Spring riding in red makeup. Walking in the shadow of the moon, pole flags across the city. You can see endlessly, singing and dancing on the rooftops, and practice the steps of the fragrant dust lotus. The sound of the flute has stopped, and I asked Cai Luan to go back, and I am not afraid of King Wu getting drunk..."
The singer is a singer from Luojing Music Studio.
At this time, Shangguan Jin introduced to Gu Xu with a smile: "This year's Shangyuan Festival is not only a competition between monks, but also a competition among literati.
"The literati on the banks of the Luoshui River would compose lyrics based on today's scene, and then give the written lyrics to the singers in the lantern tower, who would sing them out.
"Because of the existence of the formation, their singing will be heard by everyone around Luoshui.
"A talented scholar can take this opportunity to become famous in the capital - this will be of great benefit to his future."
Having said this, Shangguan Jin paused for a moment, then looked into Gu Xu's eyes and said, "As the master of the 'Jinghong Brush', Gu Daoyou must be as talented as anyone else in poetry. If you are interested in this, you can also You can seize this opportunity and let everyone in Luojing see your talents."
Gu Xu smiled: "When you first come to the capital, it's better to keep a low profile. It's not easy for literati to get ahead. We monks should try our best to give them the stage that belongs to them!"
…………
After defeating Chaozhou, Jia Xiuguang of Longmen Academy temporarily became the champion.
In the following period, several monks followed the stairs suspended in the air, climbed to the golden platform, and challenged Jia Xiuguang.
The cultivation level of these monks is not high either - they choose to challenge on stage, mostly for the purpose of asking for advice on moves and gaining some fame.
With the talisman prepared in advance, Jia Xiuguang successfully defeated them without spending much effort.
The applause by the river became more and more enthusiastic.
Jia Xiuguang's classmates at Longmen Academy were still shouting his name loudly in the audience, trying to drown out the sound of music and the roar of people.
His plan to become famous in Luo Jing seemed to be gradually realized with each victory.
However, at this moment, Jia Xiuguang suddenly faced the audience and said something unexpected:
"Actually, the person Jia wants to challenge the most when he is here today is Mr. Gu from Qingzhou Prefecture. Jia has heard that Mr. Gu is not only a hero who saved tens of thousands of people in Qingzhou Prefecture, but also played a role in Fu Fu. In terms of seal script, he has attainments close to those of a master.
"As a talisman cultivator, I very much hope to have the opportunity to ask Master Gu personally for advice. If Master Gu happens to be here today and hears what I said, I hope you can give me some advice."
There was an uproar on both sides of Luoshui.
In the past few days, although Gu Xu has been locked up in the yamen of the Exorcism Department headquarters to practice and has never appeared in public in Luojing City, there are legends about him everywhere in Luojing City.
The people of Luojing were full of admiration and curiosity for this young monk who dared to face the "fierce god".
They began to ask around about Gu Xu's past, and learned about the amazing things Gu Xu had done. They also heard a lot of true and false news that became more and more outrageous——
For example, Gu Xu is the reincarnation of a god, for example, Gu Xu is a saint who hides his strength, for example, Gu Xu is the apprentice secretly accepted by the Imperial Master...
At this moment, Jia Xiuguang's words undoubtedly aroused everyone's expectations.
They began to shout the name "Gu Xu" in unison.
They all wanted to see Gu Xu appear on stage, and wanted to see what this legendary figure looked like, whether he had three heads and six arms.
Seeing such a scene, the young man in white Qi Yan gave Gu Xu a meaningful look: "Master Gu, it seems that the people from Longmen Academy want to test your strength."
Gu Xu's face was expressionless: "But I have never provoked anyone from Longmen Academy..."
Qi Yan smiled faintly: "I heard from the gossip that because of your proficiency in the art of talisman and seal script, someone suggested that you go to Longmen Academy to teach students how to draw talisman. But the teachers at Longmen Academy felt that you were too young and not qualified enough, so they kept I am very opposed to this arrangement.”
Before Gu Xu could respond, Shi Xiaohan on the other side held the "Kunwu Sword" and cursed: "Gu Xu, this bastard is so arrogant! I will go up and deal with him for you right now!"
