Hearing Luo Chuan's words, Chu Fengge nodded slightly and responded: "Thanks to Master Sishou for his past teachings."
He didn't look happy.
Logically speaking, learning new martial arts moves is something worth celebrating. But Chu Fengge didn't want to admit it to death. It was Gu Xu's words that made him suddenly understand the true meaning of "Xiao Ying Can Yue".
Luo Chuan saw all Chu Fengge's little thoughts.
He smiled and said, "I've told you many times before that if you want to master high-grade martial arts, you can't just practice hard. Many times, you have to be ashamed to ask others for advice."
Chu Fengge lowered his head and stopped talking.
He originally thought that after being promoted to the fifth realm, he could firmly suppress Gu Xu and no longer be overshadowed by the other party's light. But he didn't expect that even if he was two levels ahead of Gu Xu, he was still just a green leaf.
At this time, Luo Chuan waved his hand, conjured a scroll out of thin air, placed it on the wooden table, and pushed it in front of Chu Fengge.
"I said before that if you can successfully complete today's trial, I will give each of you a reward," he said, "Chu Fengge, this scroll is for you."
Chu Fengge took the scroll.
The moment his fingers came into contact with the scroll, a stream of information suddenly poured into his mind along his nerves.
So he knew that this scroll was a spell called "Rage".
It can stimulate the monk's physical potential in a short period of time and improve the purity of his true energy, so that the monk's combat effectiveness can be temporarily greatly improved, and he may even have the opportunity to defeat enemies with higher levels.
But its side effects are also obvious - during the duration of "Rage", the monk's true energy will be quickly overdrawn; and after its effect ends, the monk will become extremely weak, and even leave serious symptoms in the body. Hidden danger.
Because of this, the average monk rarely uses it unless they are cornered.
But Chu Fengge has the talent of "weed", which can quickly repair his body and restore his true energy. As long as he can't be beaten to death, he will be alive and kicking in a moment.
Naturally, the negative impact of "rage" on him will be reduced to an extremely low level.
Chu Fengge sincerely thanked Luo Sishou.
The thing that made him feel most aggrieved in the "Review Pot" today was that he was trapped in a dark swamp by the "Lord of Yelang Kingdom", unable to break free and unable to resist, which led to him being embarrassed in front of Gu Xu and Shangguan Jin. Save face.
"When I learn this 'Rage', I may be able to fight against 'fierce god' level ghosts like 'Lord Yelang'!" Chu Fengge thought with great anticipation.
His temperament has always been to heal the scars and forget the pain. When he held the scroll firmly in his hand, he suddenly felt confident that he would be the number one in the world in the future.
Later, Luochuan conjured a yellowed booklet out of thin air and placed it in front of Shangguan Jin.
"Xiao Jin, I know that you have been very interested in the art of witchcraft in the wild lands of southern Xinjiang recently," he said. "All my knowledge about it has been recorded in this booklet. I hope it will be of great interest to you." You have help.”
"Thank you, Sir!" Shangguan Jin said politely with a smile on his face.
Unlike Chu Fengge who focuses on improving his strength, Shangguan Jin likes to understand and learn all kinds of fancy spells and combat techniques.
Others think she is a skilled swordsman, but she is the best doctor in the exorcism department headquarters; others think she is a doctor who saves lives and heals the wounded, but she knows all kinds of poisons well and can kill people invisible.
In addition, she has a general understanding of talismans, elixirs, weapon refining, witchcraft and other related knowledge.
If Chu Fengge is a warrior in the competitive arena, he is keen on fair fights and is determined to defeat all opponents in an upright manner and let his reputation spread throughout the country. He has always scorned methods like poison and so on.
Then Shangguan Jin is like a killer hiding in the night - she has no obsession with fame and never cares whether her actions are aboveboard. As long as she can achieve her goal, she can use any means.
Previously, when she accompanied Gu Xu to the courtyard house in Zhengpingfang, she was deeply impressed by the "heart poison" hidden in the consciousness of the owner of the courtyard, businessman Yang Changfu.
Not only can it influence a person's thoughts subtly, but it can also be controlled remotely to engage in spiritual battles with the enemy.
In addition to "heart voodoo", she also heard about the existence of "epileptic voodoo", "lice voodoo", "stone voodoo" and other mysterious and terrifying voodoos in the southern Xinjiang region of the Daqi Dynasty. Some of them can drive people crazy, some can devour people's internal organs, and some can unknowingly change a person's personality.
"If I master these Gu techniques, I will have more ways to deal with powerful enemies in the future." Shangguan Jin put the booklet in his arms and thought silently.
…………
Gu Xu sat quietly aside, watching Shangguan Jin and Chu Fengge accept their rewards happily.
He was very curious at this time, what would the Chief Secretary give him - a brand new spell? Or, as he had expected before, help him pay off the debt for the house?
However, the Chief Secretary suddenly changed the topic at this time.
"Can you see that this trial in the 'Review Pot' is a little different from the past?" He looked at the three people in front of him and asked with a smile.
"The goal of this trial is not to kill a powerful ghost, but to find out the truth of a case," Shangguan Jin thought for a while and replied, "Our real enemy is not a ghost, but a person .”
Luo Sishou nodded: "That's right."
At the same time, he waved his hand gently, and an exquisite white jade teapot and four small teacups appeared out of thin air on the low wooden table. The teapot was filled with hot tea, exuding a faint fragrance that filled the entire small attic.
He picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea for Gu Xu first, and poured the second cup for himself.
Chu Fengge stared expectantly at the movements of Luo Sishou's hands, thinking that he would have the opportunity to taste the tea poured by Lord Sishou himself today.
Unexpectedly, Luochuan put the teapot back on the table and said calmly: "If you want to drink tea, make it yourself."
Chu Fengge's expression suddenly froze.
As for Shangguan Jin, she glanced at Gu Xu enviously and thought to herself: Is this the kind of treatment only a genius who has mastered the "Tianyan Stone" can get?
Luochuan picked up the tea cup, took a sip of the fragrant tea, and said in a calm tone: "In most perceptions of the Da Qi Dynasty, the relationship between humans and ghosts is just like cats and mice. They are absolutely opposite and inseparable. The old enemies who coexist. The ghosts prey on humans in order to fill their stomachs, while humans embark on the path of spiritual practice and fight in order to survive.
"Either you die, or I live."
"I think so too." Chu Fengge interjected.
Luochuan ignored him.
He paused for a moment and then said: "However, you should also know that there are many humans and ghosts, and there are many strong people. The human race has His Majesty the Emperor, and the 'Five Saints', and the ghosts also have Kongxuan Sanren, and there are 'Mang' Mountain Ghost King'... It is almost impossible to completely eliminate the opponent.
“In addition, unlike beasts, humans and ghosts are intelligent species.
"Ghosts at the level of 'evil spirits' and above are as intelligent as humans. They can lie, use all kinds of spells, and play conspiracies... Even because of their long lifespan, sometimes even humans All wise men are ashamed of themselves.
“I think maybe it’s because these two groups are so smart that it’s difficult to completely integrate them into a whole.
"The sheep will only follow the leader, and the bees will only obey the orders of the queen bee... But humans and ghosts are different. Intelligent races like this have too many ideas of their own.
"They will kill each other in order to survive, and they will also fight in their own dens for resources, interests, etc. When their internal conflicts exceed their external conflicts, they may choose to cooperate with their natural enemies, thereby strengthening the ethnic group. to fight for their own interests.
"So, through this 'Review Pot' trial, I hope you can understand that the world is not black and white. It is much more complicated than you think.
"Sometimes, we not only have to be wary of ghosts, but also our own kind."
The three of them listened silently to what Luo Sishou said and nodded in agreement.
However, their thoughts are different.
What Chu Fengge was thinking was: As long as I am strong enough and become number one in the world in the future, neither ghosts nor my own race can pose a threat to me.
What Gu Xu thinks is: No matter what you do in the future, you must be cautious, cautious, and more cautious.
What Shangguan Jin thinks is: I want to master more means, strive to see all directions, listen to all directions, have insight into the thoughts of people around me, and strike first.
There was a brief silence.
The sun gradually climbed to the zenith.
Sunlight shines through the window lattice and from the south window. The light spots falling on the ground move slowly, becoming brighter and dazzling.
After a while, Luo Sishou said to Chu Fengge and Shangguan Jin: "You go do your own things first! I still have some important things that I want to talk to Gu Xu alone."
