Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 599 The Ascension Ceremony ()

In the Luojing Exorcism Department, Wang Yang was standing in front of the bronze mirror, trying on new official uniforms.

The new official uniform has a bright red background and is embroidered with patterns of red birds and auspicious clouds on the chest. It is also called "Suzaku clothing".

According to legend, the Suzaku holds the power of fire and is covered in flames that never burn out all day long. It is an auspicious beast that drives away evil and protects peace. The Daxia Exorcism Department therefore uses this as its totem symbol.

Wang Yang likes this new suit of clothes very much. He thinks its colors are festive and eye-catching, which perfectly sets off his handsomeness.

Although Cui Tianyou once said in a joking tone: "You look darker when you wear red."

But Wang Yang didn't take it to heart and continued to show off wearing it with a smile on his face all day long.

Today, Wang Yang has joined the ranks of second-level monks and has been appointed as the eighth-level inspection officer of the Luojing Exorcism Department.

In the past years in Yishui County, he had always felt inferior to his spiritual talent.

However, since being sent to Liangzhou City by Gu Xu, Wang Yang discovered that the biggest factor that limited his cultivation speed in the past was not talent, but resources.

Among the practitioners in this world, except for a very small number of talented and outstanding individuals, as well as a few individuals with congenital defects, most practitioners are actually concentrated at a relatively mediocre level.

It's just that some people, born into the families of dignitaries, are never short of elixirs. They can practice whenever they want, break through any realms they want, and sell their surplus elixirs to others at high prices.

But ordinary monks like Wang Yang need to risk their lives and do hard tasks for the sake of elixirs. If there are not enough elixirs, the progress of practice will stagnate. Under such circumstances, if you force yourself to practice, there is still the risk of going crazy and turning into a ghost.

However, after arriving in Liangzhou, because Gu Xu confiscated a large amount of elixirs and alchemy materials from surrounding wealthy families and sects, and recruited many alchemists to continuously produce new elixirs, Wang Yang no longer had any hope for elixirs. Worried about not being enough.

As long as you work hard under Gu Xu and complete your duties conscientiously, you can receive a certain amount of pills every month; if you make more contributions, you will receive additional generous rewards.

Wang Yang's cultivation, which had been stagnant for several months, suddenly began to advance by leaps and bounds, and soon after Gu Xu captured Luo Jing, he successfully entered the threshold of the second realm.

Not long ago, Gu Xu sent someone to find him and asked him whether he wanted to have a noble idle position and enjoy happiness for the rest of his life, or whether he wanted to do something real.

Wang Yang chose the latter without hesitation.

He was once saved by Zheng Yu at the risk of his life during the crisis of "Nine Infants' Disaster". Later, he was influenced by Chen Jisheng's side. Influenced by his behavior style, he sincerely wanted to be a good official like the two adults. .

So he came to the Luojing Exorcism Department.

Under his command, there are more than ten newly recruited young officials. From them, Wang Yang seemed to be able to glimpse the shadow of his past.

Wang Yang liked to chat in front of these young officials, bragging:

"His Majesty and I were colleagues in the past, and we were brothers and sisters."

"His Majesty and I once drank together in Piaoxiang Pavilion and talked and laughed happily."

"Your Majesty has never been able to outshine me when it comes to drinking. He often uses tea to pass off as wine."

"His Majesty's favorite food used to be the almond tofu in the Yamen's kitchen."

"Do you know? The sentence I told you a few days ago, 'Those who enjoy the benefits of the world will suffer from the sufferings of the world, and those who live in the happiness of the world will suffer from the sufferings of the world.' was actually said by His Majesty at the earliest, and it is still said today. It’s hanging in the Yishui County Exorcism Department. I hope you can keep this sentence in your heart and make it your motto.”

"..."

Whenever these junior officials listened to his story attentively and looked at him with admiring eyes, Wang Yang couldn't help but feel an ecstasy in his heart. He secretly thought to himself that even an ordinary person like himself had moments when he was admired by others. This feeling is really amazing.

When Wang Yang arranged his robes, tightened his belt, and walked into the main hall of the exorcism department, he unexpectedly spotted a familiar figure among the many officials.

It was a petite and pretty girl, wearing the same bright red official robe as them, with a huge machete slung on her back. Her glossy black hair was tied up high, and her fair and rosy face was like the petals of a peach blossom blooming in spring.

Compared with the past, her face was a little less green and childish, but a little more charming and delicate.

Just like a budding flower, it finally blossoms under the nourishment of a spring rain, blooming with unprecedented brilliance.

This girl is Shi Xiaohan.

Wang Yang was quite surprised by her sudden appearance.

After today's grand ceremony, Gu Xu awarded many meritorious officials, and named Zhao Yan as the queen and Shi Xiaohan as the noble concubine.

However, what was unexpected was that after the canonization ceremony, the newly promoted imperial concubine put on the official robe of the Exorcist Department, ran out of the palace with the huge machete on her back.

With doubts in his heart, Wang Yang took a step forward, raised his hands and saluted, "I have met Shi Da... the noble concubine."

Shi Xiaohan curled her lips slightly, as if she was quite dissatisfied with his title. She said lightly: "In the Exorcism Department, don't call me noble concubine, call me my job."

As she spoke, she took out a badge from her body, waved it gently in front of Wang Yang, and said firmly: "Look carefully, I am now the captain of the Great Xia Exorcist Department, don't call me by the wrong name again."

"I've met Mr. Captain!" Wang Yang saluted again after hearing her words.

Shi Xiaohan smiled and nodded with satisfaction.

Then, she jumped up to the table next to her with a light leap, and announced loudly and condescendingly: "Today, under the orders of His Majesty, I will lead everyone to deal with the ghost in the capital area - the Snake Bone Woman. The Snake Bone Woman looks like an old woman. , with two snakes wrapped around its body, a red snake in its left hand and a green snake in its right hand. It will control these two snakes to attack passers-by..."

Shi Xiaohan loudly described the various characteristics of the "Snake Bone Woman" and the tactical plan to deal with it. Everyone present listened attentively and remembered her words seriously in their minds.

Some people couldn't restrain their doubts and started talking in lowered voices: "Didn't the emperor's concubines always stay in the palace in the past? Why did the imperial concubine of Daxia not only come out to show off, but also carried a machete and wanted to personally lead us to kill ghosts? Woolen cloth?"

As a monk at the pinnacle of the third realm, Shi Xiaohan easily caught their rustling comments with his spiritual awareness that was sharper than ordinary people.

But she was not angry because of it. Instead, she raised her chin slightly, feeling a little proud in her heart. She thought: It seems that you people still don't understand Gu Xu well enough. He is different from the pedantic emperors of the Daqi Dynasty.

.........

Shi Xiaohan clearly remembered the scene when she and Gu Xu slept together for the second time.

At that time, he hugged her from behind, and his breath brushed her most sensitive earlobes from time to time, causing her breathing to quicken and her cheeks to turn red.

He said in her ear: "My Lady, from what I know about you, you definitely don't want to be a canary and spend the rest of your life in this depressing palace. I know that you still have the ability to slay demons." , To uphold the ideal of upholding justice for heaven, you also want to be a heroine who will leave a lasting name in history." When he heard these words, Shi Xiaohan couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

When she agreed to follow Gu Xu back to the palace, she was actually mentally prepared to give up her dream of being a heroine and to take care of her husband and raise her children - after all, in the past Daqi Dynasty, concubines had never run away from the palace. precedent.

Unexpectedly, Gu Xu was willing to support her to continue her career as a heroine in slaying demons.

"This is not quite according to the rules..."

"In Daxia, my words are the rules. Look, isn't Zhao Yan still a female general in the army?"

"but I……"

"Have you forgotten that you have the body of a demon god? Even in the upper world, it is an extremely rare physique. After I develop a magic circle that can convert the evil spirit into the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on a large scale, you will Become a spiritual genius that has never been seen in the wilderness for thousands of years, and maybe become even more powerful than me."

"Big bad guy, don't lie to me."

"I have always been honest. When have I lied to you? Moreover, we will have to fight against Supreme Haotian in the future. Every time we have a powerful monk under our command, our chances of winning will increase by one point. I will not be so extravagant as to put a The genius with the 'body of the demon god' is locked in the palace, making her a resentful woman with nothing to do. You know, I have always been stingy..."

Thinking of the way Gu Xu used to eat tofu every day in the government kitchen to save money, Shi Xiaohan couldn't help but smile and nodded.

Gu Xu's words made Shi Xiaohan both moved and happy, and felt a little dazed for a moment.

Unexpectedly, Gu Xu, the big bad guy, took this opportunity to sneak up on her and turned her over, making her lie on the bed like a cat stretching out, with her delicate and blushing face buried in the pillow.

The long black hair is spread like a waterfall, and the smooth and white back is vaguely visible under the cover of the hair.

This look made Shi Xiaohan extremely ashamed.

She suddenly felt that those nice words Gu Xu just said were all to coax her and persuade her to play with these perverted things.

He's a big bad guy, a big bad guy! He would just bully her in different ways all day long!

When Gu Xu hugged her slender and soft waist tightly from behind, Shi Xiaohan clutched the pillow tightly with both hands, thinking so.

…………

At noon the next day, when Xiaohan woke up with pain all over her body, there was a set of official robes on her pillow, a waistband of a captain of the Exorcism Division, and several pieces of paper densely written with words on them, all of which were written by Gu Xu. I wrote about my thoughts and precautions on breaking through the fourth realm.

…………

Today, after the canonization ceremony, Shi Xiaohan experienced months of ups and downs in mood, experienced joys and sorrows, and finally felt the opportunity to be promoted to the fourth level of "Wangxiang Terrace".

So, as soon as the ceremony was over, she took off her royal concubine's gorgeous palace attire and put on the red official robe of the Exorcist Department. Carrying the heavy "Kunwu Sword" on her back, she came to the Luojing Exorcist Department Yamen and met Wang Yang, Cui Tianyou and other old colleagues.

She will take the opportunity of killing the "Snake Bone Woman" to refine the "Kunwu Sword" into her own magical weapon, and in one fell swoop she will become a fourth-level monk who can fly with the weapon.

Although her current cultivation level is far behind Gu Xu, she still has to work hard to become stronger so that she can better help him in the future war between the two worlds.

…………

Zichen Palace, Jiangyun Palace.

Gu Xu, wearing twelve crowns and black clothes, stood quietly in front of the bronze mirror.

It was almost dusk, and under the candlelight, the jade beads hanging on the crown shone brightly.

Zhao Yan stood behind him and gently untied his belt.

Logically speaking, this set of Qiaomian Longgun is usually only worn during major ceremonies such as enthronement and sacrifice, and usually needs to be replaced by lighter regular clothes.

But perhaps because Zhao Yan recently stayed alone in Yan Guogong's mansion for a few nights, she was particularly jealous when she came back. She drove away all the maids, chambermaids, and even paper servants in the palace who tried to help Gu Xu change clothes, insisting that she, the queen, should do it herself to complete the important task of helping Gu Xu change clothes.

However, Zhao Yan seemed to particularly enjoy watching Gu Xu wear this outfit. When changing his clothes, she not only moved slowly, but also kept looking for opportunities to sneakily touch his abdominal muscles.

Gu Xu looked helpless at this: "Can you help me take off this hat first?"

One of the reasons why the Emperor of the Great Wilderness wore Mianqi was that it had a vigilant and normative effect on the emperor's words and deeds. Because the jade beads on the front and back of Mianqi can easily shake and make sounds, people must be dignified and steady no matter when talking, walking or even sitting.

If the movement range is too large, the jade beads will hit the face; if the sitting posture is not correct, the head is tilted and the body is tilted, the crown will slip off.

In this way, the wearer will gradually develop a majestic and majestic look with his head held high.

It can be said that Zhao Yan did not let Gu Xu take off her crown at this time, but secretly did all kinds of tricks, which was completely torturing him - Gu Xu felt that she must be taking revenge on him for leaving her alone in Duke Yan. I let it dry for a few nights.

"No," Zhao Yan chuckled, her charming fox eyes slightly narrowed, "You look good wearing it."

As she spoke, she grabbed Gu Xu's arm and walked towards the bed.

At this moment, Gu Xu's clothes were half untied, and the jade strings on his crown kept colliding with each other, making a crisp "ta-da" sound.

He finally realized what this lustful woman was trying to do.

"Yan'er, wait!" he shouted, "You are pregnant now, it is best not to do that, it is not good for the child -"

"——My Majesty, have you forgotten?" Zhao Yan looked at him with a smile, her eyes sparkling, as if she was drunk but not drunk, "In that pink album, even if we don't reach that step, we There are hundreds of ways to get close.”

After saying that, she gently pushed Gu Xu down on the couch and straddled his waist.

Then she leaned down and put her hands on the side of his head.

The long black hair hangs down like a flowing waterfall, exuding a faint fragrance.

Her gentle kisses landed on his eyebrows, the corners of his eyes, his lips, his Adam's apple, and his chest...

He only heard her lingering voice lingering in his ears:

"Husband, I miss you so much, I miss you so much every day..."
