The stars in the sky disappeared.

Everything is calm again.

Yang Changfu suddenly collapsed to the ground, his face was pale and his expression was dull. He was obviously frightened by what just happened.

Although the "Heart Gu" has been eliminated, and although Gu Xu and Shangguan Jin's spiritual thoughts quickly evacuated from his conscious world, Yang Changfu still has the illusion that "my body does not belong to me."

Shangguan Jin also took a deep breath, and finally returned to the real world.

She glanced at Gu Xu beside her, thinking of the vast starry sky and the modified "Lower Curse", many questions arose in her mind.

But after hesitating for a moment, what she finally said was "thank you."

Because she knew that if Gu Xu hadn't reached out in time to help, she would have been sinking in a sea of ​​negative emotions, unable to extricate herself.

By then, the situation will become very passive.

Gu Xu smiled faintly and responded: "You're welcome. If it weren't for you making a special trip to show me the house, you wouldn't be in such trouble."

His eyes were calm and profound.

No matter how hard Shangguan Jin looked, he couldn't find his thoughts.

"It's so unpredictable!" she thought silently to herself.

When she first saw Gu Xu on the bronze mirror of Luo Sishou, she just thought that this young man was very good-looking and very talented.

But every time they met after that, such as the test at the Laoshan ruins, such as escaping from the disaster in Qingzhou Mansion, such as facing a powerful opponent in the Lantern Festival Arena, such as today's battle in the world of consciousness... he always had a source of energy. Constantly bringing "surprises" and showing amazing methods.

As for Shi Xiaohan, he finally relaxed his tense heartstrings.

In the past period of time, she had been nervous, always ready to run back to the exorcism department's Yamen to report the news, for fear that Gu Xu would encounter something unexpected in the dangerous confrontation of spiritual thoughts.

——If she could also perform sword skills in the conscious world, she would have already waved the "Kunwu Sword" and joined the battle menacingly.

Until now, she breathed a sigh of relief, took two steps forward, and her bright almond eyes turned into crescent moons.

"Gu Xu, how is the battle going?" she asked.

"We have successfully eliminated the Gu worms in Mr. Yang's sea of ​​consciousness," Gu Xu replied, "but the enemy behind the scenes is hidden too deeply. We are still unable to find his traces. We still need to send people from the Exorcist Department to conduct further investigation." investigation."

At this time, businessman Yang Changfu finally held on to the pillar beside him and slowly climbed up from the ground.

He nodded and bowed, and with a slightly trembling voice, he sincerely thanked the monks of the Exorcism Department.

"Without the help of a few adults, I really don't know how long my unlucky life would have lasted."

At the same time, he took out a wad of silver notes from his pocket, stuffed it into the hands of Gu Xu and Shangguan Jin, and said, "It's a small thought, please accept it with a smile, adults!"

But Shangguan Jin immediately shook his head and refused with a serious expression.

She said that everything that happened in the courtyard today has been recorded in the files of the Exorcism Department as an abnormal event. According to the regulations of the Daqi Exorcism Department, officials are not allowed to accept bribes from the people while performing their tasks.

"In addition, Mr. Yang, I'm afraid there is another hidden story behind today's incident," Shangguan Jin continued, "In the next period of time, the Exorcism Department will send people here to investigate and look for clues. I hope you can actively cooperate. . Please forgive me if it causes any inconvenience to your life."

Yang Changfu was silent for a few seconds, then raised his head and asked, "Sir, starting from today, shouldn't I experience those unlucky things again?"

Shangguan Jin glanced at Gu Xu beside him.

Seeing Gu Xu nodded, she smiled and replied: "Theoretically not. Of course, things like lackluster business are not only related to Feng Shui. Other issues need to be dealt with by yourself."

…………

The problem of bad luck has been solved, and Yang Changfu will naturally no longer sell real estate at a low price.

In addition, according to the laws of the Daqi Dynasty, until the mastermind behind the scenes is caught, this courtyard house, as the location of the crime, will be temporarily restricted from trading.

So if Gu Xu wanted to buy a house, he could only choose another place.

This made him feel a little sorry.

Because it is difficult for him to buy such cheap Zhaoyuan in other places in the capital.

Fortunately, after solving the feng shui problem and the "heart poison" in Yang Changfu's body, he was able to receive a meritorious reward, which could barely make up for the mental loss he missed out on a cheap house.

In addition, after experiencing the baptism of negative emotions just now, he not only created a new spiritual consciousness spell "Xingyuan" on the basis of "Solar Eclipse", but also created the fourth realm "Wangxiangtai" Have a deeper understanding.

He believed that when he went back to practice tonight, he would be able to take a big step forward on the ladder of "Homesickness Ridge".

Finally, after repeated weighing and comparison, Gu Xu purchased the house in Yanqingfang.

It is adjacent to Luoshui, surrounded by trees, and has beautiful and pleasant scenery.

Although there are many mansions of powerful people nearby.

But Gu Xu thought about it and felt that he would not spend too much time at home in the future. This house would be just a decoration for most of the time, and he would have few opportunities to interact with his neighbors.

Of course, for him, the most critical factor is price.

The price of this house is four hundred and eighty taels, which is much cheaper than the one in Sishunfang.

In addition to the exorcism department's housing subsidy, he also had to pay three hundred taels of silver.

Of course, he only needs to pay one hundred taels of silver today, and he can pay off the rest in installments in the future.

Seeing that he was short of money, Shi Xiaohan generously extended a helping hand and offered to help him pay half of the expenses - as long as Gu Xu didn't mind her frequent visits.

Gu Xu smiled and rejected her kindness.

After all, providing money to buy a house is not the same as giving away elixirs. If her father Shi Qianhu knew about this, he might kill him from Laizhou Prefecture to the capital.

…………

"It's not easy to make money in Luojing City, but it's really fast to spend money!"

Half an hour later, Gu Xu sat on the carriage returning to the Exorcist Department Yamen, sighing silently in his heart.

The newly purchased house cannot be moved in yet.

It will take some time to modify its lintels, stairs, etc. in accordance with the housing construction regulations of the Daqi Dynasty.

At this moment, the banknotes earned in the Lantern Festival Tournament had left him and fell into the pocket of the original owner of the house.

Gu Xu sighed.

He deeply felt that if he wanted to live a comfortable and comfortable life in Luojing City, he would definitely not be able to rely solely on the salary of the Exorcist Department.

On the one hand, the "Guest Teaching at Longmen Academy" position that Luo Sishou mentioned to him was free and well-paid, so he had to find a way to get it.

On the other hand, the capital is different from Yishui County. There are many monks and rich people here. The demand for talismans should be very large. He may be able to rely on selling talismans like the master of talismans named Zhao Xinran. Make some money.

…………

at the same time.

In the thatched cottage in the north of Luojing City, near Mang Mountain, the face of the middle-aged woman who mastered the "Heart Gu" became very gloomy.

The "heart poison" she planted in Yang Changfu and others was spent several years nourishing it day and night with the power of the soul. It is closely related to her and can almost be regarded as part of her soul.

Because of this, she can use the "heart poison" to cast mental spells that can release negative emotions.

However, she never expected that her opponent would not only be able to break free from negative emotions, but also cut off the connection between her and the "heart poison".

Especially at the moment when the connection was disconnected, she felt a strong pressure, as if the gods above the nine heavens were issuing an order, which made her feel a sense of awe from the bottom of her heart.

"Damn it," she said angrily in her heart, "Where did this enemy come from, and he has such a strong attainment in spiritual consciousness? We must tell the Lord as soon as possible."

At this moment, someone pushed in the door.

It was a man with a thin build, a long, pointed face, and a beard. He was wearing a luxurious brocade robe and holding a Feng Shui compass in his hand.

"Mrs. Ma, something has happened in the capital," he said with a gloomy face, "One of the nodes of the 'Gorro' killing pattern I arranged has been destroyed."
