Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 667 Gu Xu’s New Magical Weapon

The next day.

Changchun Garden.

When Zhao Yan stepped into the imperial study, she saw Gu Xu sitting behind the desk, concentrating on reading the memorials in front of him.

Beside him stood a middle-aged man who was about forty years old.

The man was tall, with a long beard and an ordinary face, with a faint scar visible on his cheek.

He was wearing a black martial arts suit and an empty scabbard hung around his waist.

Being in the same room with Gu Xu, who was dressed in a blue shirt and had a handsome and elegant demeanor, were two completely different styles of painting.

"Who is this?" Zhao Yan looked at the tall man with a hint of doubt in her eyes and asked Gu Xu.

In her impression, Gu Xu never liked having guards around him.

After all, with Gu Xu's current strength, if he really encounters some danger that is difficult to deal with, it would probably not be the guards who protect him, but he who protects the guards.

After hearing Zhao Yan's words, Gu Xu did not respond immediately.

Instead, the tall man in black stepped forward, bowed to Zhao Yan and said, "I am Master Meng, and I am honored to meet my wife!"

"My dear wife..." Zhao Yan raised her lips and repeated the word with a chuckle. Then she walked to Gu Xu and sat on the armrest of the chair with her back to him. "My majesty, you really know how to play."

Zhao Yan's waist is slender, not even thick enough to be held in one hand, but her buttocks are plump and voluptuous, showing perfect curves.

As she sat like this, the loose red dress on her body suddenly seemed to become a tight-fitting garment, stretched into a full moon shape.

Gu Xu took advantage of the situation and put his arms around her slender waist, resting his cheek lightly on her back.

"You created this clone, are you planning to go to the Lingxiao Realm?" Zhao Yan paused, then said, "Your clone is really extraordinary. Even with my seventh level of spiritual perception, I can't detect the connection between him and you."

"That's right," Gu Xu replied, "I got news from Jiang Zhaoyue that something happened in Lingxiao Realm recently and there might be unrest. I plan to take this opportunity to fish in troubled waters over there.

"I created this clone based on the 'puppetry' technique of Kong Xuan Sanren, and have obliterated the causal connection between it and me.

"Except for those who have far surpassed me in the path of cause and effect, the rest of the people, including Taishang Haotian, will think that he is a completely independent individual."

"Even if it's a clone, you have to be careful when you go to Lingxiao Realm," Zhao Yan said, holding Gu Xu's hand around her waist, "Don't be careless. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be prepared for the one.

"I've heard of some curse techniques that can trace back along the long river of fate. Maybe they can find your true form."

"Don't worry, Yan'er, don't you know my character?" Gu Xu smiled, "If I encounter anything wrong, I will immediately let my clone self-destruct in Lingxiao Realm and never give the enemy any chance to obtain information from the clone or do anything else."

As he spoke, he exerted a little force with his hands, and Zhao Yan slid down from the armrest of the chair, with her plump buttocks sitting right on his legs.

"Bad guy," Zhao Yan sneered, "taking advantage of others again."

Although she said this, her body actually relaxed and she leaned softly against Gu Xu's chest.

The incarnation who called himself "Meng Zhike" still stood quietly on one side, like a motionless sculpture.

"By the way," Zhao Yan suddenly narrowed her eyes slightly and said in a half-joking tone, "My dear Gu Lang, when your clone goes to the Lingxiao Realm, will you secretly seduce girls behind my back? We are separated by the endless void, and I have no idea what you did over there."

"You are such a jealous person, what do you think about all day?" Gu Xu couldn't help but shook his head helplessly, "How can a paper clone, who doesn't have that ability, possibly hook up with a girl? Just think of him as a puppet that is connected to my consciousness and more flexible."

"Made of paper?" Zhao Yan was a little surprised. "It doesn't look like it has flesh and blood!"

"It's indeed made of paper." Gu Xu said.

The clone of the "puppetry" spell can be made of wood, clay, paper, etc., or it can take over the corpse of a human or animal.

The materials used to make Kongxuan Sanren's clones are all corpses.

And Gu Xu, perhaps because he is a talisman master, has a special liking for paper puppets.

Since he uses this material frequently, he is more adept at manipulating it.

"It seems that your clone is still missing a weapon?" Zhao Yan then looked at the empty scabbard of "Meng Zhike".

"That's right," Gu Xu said, "But I've asked the Royal Weapon Refining Workshop to make one for him. It should be almost done in the next few days."

Zhao Yan smiled, turned slightly, stretched out her slender white fingers, and gently stroked Gu Xu's forehead and eyebrows.

"Your Majesty has been worrying about the fate of the Great Wilderness every day recently. It's really hard. I can almost see wrinkles on your forehead." She said softly with her eyes rolling, "Isn't it time to take a break?"

As she spoke, she leaned over and pressed her red lips against the corner of Gu Xu's mouth. The fragrant breath instantly lingered around him.

"Is rest really all you're thinking about?" Gu Xu asked with a smile.

As he spoke, he lifted up the beautiful woman in a fiery red dress in his arms, placed her on the edge of the imperial desk, and used his true energy to push away the memorials on the table, then kissed her back even harder.

Upon seeing this, "Meng Zhike" tactfully left the room and gently closed the door.

Zhao Yan first put her arms around Gu Xu's neck.

Then he placed his hands on the table and slowly leaned back.

Finally, she fell completely on the table, and her red dress bloomed on the table like a bright rose.

Two smooth and white long legs stretched out from it, exposed in front of Gu Xu without any obstruction.

Gu Xu reached out and grabbed her ankles, folding her body in half like paper.

"Is it really okay to stay here during the day..." Zhao Yan murmured in a low voice.

At this moment, she couldn't see Gu Xu's expression clearly.

I could only feel his condescending and burning gaze through the gap between my legs.

"If you don't like it, I will continue to read the memorials?" Gu Xu teased.

"Don't!" Zhao Yan responded immediately.

Through those white legs, Gu Xu saw her biting her lower lip, her eyes slightly closed, her long and thick eyelashes trembling constantly, and a faint blush like the evening glow gradually dyed her cheeks...

…………

An hour later.

Gu Xu tidied his clothes and walked out of the study.

He felt refreshed at this moment.

All his worries and anxieties seemed to have been vented and released by Yan'er. With a thought, he used the power of "Qian Kun" and instantly arrived in front of a newly built building in the suburbs of Luojing.

The red walls and green tiles here are magnificent.

It was the "Royal Weapon Refining Workshop" of Daxia.

This weapon refining workshop was originally established relying on the resources brought by the Chen brothers and sisters from Xiangyang when they came to surrender.

Later, after Gu Xu eliminated many aristocratic families and sects including the Chen family of Xiangyang, he poached monks who were proficient in refining equipment from those places and brought them here, making the scale of the equipment refining workshop even larger.

At present, the arms and weapons of the Daxia Exorcist Department, the Purple Mansion Army, and military forces at all levels rely heavily on the supply of this weapon refining workshop.

Upon hearing the news that the emperor was arriving, Chen Suhui, who was also the manager here, hurried out of the gate with a few followers to greet him.

After practicing in the spiritual energy conversion formation for several months, Chen Suhui's complexion has improved significantly compared to when she first met Gu Xu.

Although her figure was still slim and her skin was slightly pale, her cheeks had a faint rosy color, which added a bit of girlish softness and vitality to her.

"Your Majesty, the weapons you need have been refined according to your requirements."

Chen Suhui first clasped her hands together and saluted Gu Xu respectfully, then took a wooden box from an attendant and handed it to Gu Xu with both hands.

"Thanks a lot!"

As Gu Xu spoke, he opened the wooden box.

Inside the wooden box, a knife more than three feet long lay quietly.

The blade is wide, of moderate thickness, and the blade is slender and slightly curved, like a crescent moon, exuding a cold breath.

However, it is the unique color of this knife that attracts the most attention.

Its entire body was a deep black, like the pitch-black night, and only at the edge of the blade there was a faint red glow, like a firefly glowing faintly in the deep grass.

"Does it have a name?"

Gu Xu grasped the handle of the knife and gently took it out of the wooden box, while asking Chen Suhui.

"Your Majesty, its name is 'Zhao Ye Qing'." Chen Suhui replied.

"'Zhao Yeqing', what a good name!" Gu Xu exclaimed.

He knew that "Zhao Ye Qing" was the ancient name for fireflies, which complemented the temperament of the knife.

He swung the knife lightly, feeling the blade flowing in the air. The weight of the blade was just right, not too heavy to make people tired, nor too light to lack strength and feel.

The flashing red light followed the movement of the blade, outlining a smooth arc.

Beautiful and dangerous.

"It would be best if Your Majesty is satisfied." Chen Suhui said calmly.

Her voice was as cold and calm as ever, like a calm lake. Even Gu Xu's praise seemed unable to cause the slightest ripple on the lake.

Gu Xu put "Zhao Yeqing" into Xianyunju, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Your 'immortal body' was originally born in the rules of the Lingxiao world. Although the spiritual energy conversion formation can solve the threat to your life brought by the evil spirit, if you want the 'immortal body' to truly exert its due powerful power, it still has to be placed under the world rules of the Lingxiao world."

Chen Suhui thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to take me to the Lingxiao Realm?"

Gu Xu nodded and added: “This is not an order, I’m just asking for your opinion.

"I do have plans to go to the Lingxiao Realm, but the situation there is turbulent and very dangerous. Even I cannot guarantee that I can come back alive, so I can only send one clone there.

“When we get to the Lingxiao Realm, I will try to conceal your origins and let you pretend to be a native of the Lingxiao Realm, but I cannot guarantee that I can save your life.

"However, this is a great opportunity for you, an opportunity that can completely change your destiny.

"Taishang Haotian soared to the sky based on this in the past. Now he must be promoting theories like 'the immortal body is the son of destiny', using this to collect the power of incense and fire, so as to advance to the ninth realm 'Yujing'.

"If you go there, you might be able to disrupt his plans.

"If you don't plan to go, I won't blame you, and the reward for refining 'Zhao Yeqing' will be given to you as usual.

"The choice is yours."

Hearing what Gu Xu said, Chen Suhui blinked.

Chen Suhui has been facing the shadow of death since she was born, which has cultivated her indifferent character that is not happy with things or sad with herself, and few things can touch her heart.

The only few times in his life when his emotions fluctuated drastically were all closely related to Gu Xu.

The first time was when he told her, "Your disease can be cured," and he personally helped her dispel the evil spirit in her meridians.

The second time, he developed a spiritual energy transformation formation, which completely overturned her predetermined destiny.

As for the third time, it is today.

For all the people in the Great Wilderness, no matter how indifferent their mentality is, when they have the opportunity to walk out of this cage-like world and witness the scenes of another world with their own eyes, waves will inevitably surge in their hearts.

Chen Suhui is naturally no exception.

"Your Majesty, I have made up my mind. I want to go with you!" Chen Suhui made the decision calmly without thinking for long.

"Aren't you afraid of death?" Gu Xu showed a hint of surprise.

"I was destined to die, destined to be entangled in the evil spirit and fall into the arms of the King of Hell early, but Your Majesty gave me a new life," Chen Suhui looked straight ahead and said seriously, "So, since I can help Your Majesty on this trip to the Lingxiao Realm, I should do my best to be loyal to Your Majesty."

Gu Xu sighed softly: "In fact, I am just gambling. I dare not guarantee that this plan will work. After all, everything in Lingxiao Realm is unknown. If you don't want to, you don't have to follow me to take risks for this slim possibility."

"Su Hui was plagued by illness in her early years and suffered a lot from fate," Chen Su Hui said, "Now, your majesty has placed an opportunity for me to become stronger and control my own destiny. How can I not cherish it?"

Gu Xu looked at her seriously, was silent for a moment, and nodded.

"Well, get ready and come to Changchun Garden in three days, and we'll set off together."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Just as Gu Xu was about to turn around and leave, Chen Suhui suddenly called him again in a soft voice: "Your Majesty, after going to Lingxiao Realm, I have a small request..."

"Tell me," Gu Xu said, "As long as it is reasonable, I will agree to it."

Chen Suhui hesitated for a while, then said hesitantly, "I... I have never been able to remember the way since I was a child. After I go to the Lingxiao Realm, Your Majesty, can you please not let me leave you too far..."
