Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 72 Chen Jisheng's Gift
Because Gu Xu kept all kinds of knowledge in his heart, he could blurt out the answer without thinking.

So, it took them less than an hour to resolve most of the controversial issues in the books at this stage.

This made Cui Tianyou sigh again and again: "Working with Gu Xu, a guy who knows everything from time to time, is really efficient! I don't need to use my own brain!"

He even felt that the Yishui Yamen's Book Collection Pavilion might be a decoration in the future.

If you encounter a question you don't understand, just ask Gu Xu directly - this is much more convenient than flipping through a book.

"By the way, Brother Gu, have you heard of a recent news release from the Exorcism Division's headquarters?" At this time, Cui Tianyou started to make the old problem of middle-aged men like to talk about national affairs again.

"what news?"

"Because the case of Lu's Murder House in Qingzhou Prefecture has not been resolved for a long time, Lord Si Shou has raised the quest reward for this case to [-] meritorious deeds; in addition, those who successfully complete the quest can also get an additional one. High-grade spells as a reward. Sigh, this reward is so rich that I am very moved - if it weren't for my weakness, I would have already set off for Qingzhou Mansion."

"Brother Cui, do you know what the source of the pain is?" Gu Xu said in a joking tone, looking at Cui Tianyou's frowning face.

"what?"

"Desires that do not match their abilities."

…………

Then Gu Xu said goodbye to Cui Tianyou and left the library.

In the narrow corridor, he saw Shi Xiaohan sitting on the railing in a daze.

The girl lowered her head, her thick black hair was like a dark cloud, a pair of bright almond eyes stared intently at the floor tiles, and her feet wearing delicately embroidered shoes dangled under the jet-black robe, revealing her fair and slender ankles.

When she heard Gu Xu's footsteps, she raised her head and frowned slightly: "Gu Xu, why did you stay in the library for so long? I'm almost starving to death waiting."

As soon as she finished speaking, her stomach made a "gurgling" sound.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting." Gu Xu walked up to her with an apologetic smile on his face.

"Hmph, don't think that a light apology can make up for the time lost by this heroine." Shi Xiaohan put his hands on his chest, snorted, and turned his head away.

Gu Xu was familiar with her character and knew that she was not really angry.

"Then, Lady Heroine, how do you need me to compensate you?"

"As long as you make a good enough 'health lunch' as ​​agreed, I will take the initiative to forget about it." Shi Xiaohan said solemnly.

"It's easy!" Gu Xu had long guessed that her request must have something to do with food.

…………

So, a quarter of an hour later, Gu Xu brought Shi Xiaohan to his small house and started to cook.

His lunch recipe is very simple: a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, a plate of tofu with minced meat, two bowls of coarse grain rice, and two portions of mung bean soup.

Although Gu Xu's cooking skills are not superb, not as good as the chefs in high-end restaurants, but there is no problem in cooking some simple home-cooked dishes.

In addition, next to him is Shi Xiaohan, a food theorist who is "on paper" and keeps pointing, telling him what heat each food needs and how to mix the seasonings to achieve the most delicious effect.

Because of this, when the food came to the table, both of them ate with relish.

Shi Xiaohan even felt that these simple dishes were more delicious than the big fish and meat in Piaoxiang Lou.

After all, she and Gu Xu did it with their own hands.

After dinner, Gu Xu called the little book boy on the screen portrait and told him to wash the dishes, while he took out the ginseng sent by Chen Jisheng and prepared to use it to make soup.

This morning, when he was fighting the locust tree demon, he only used the "Meteor Walks the Moon" movement technique twice, and he already felt exhausted and aching in his heart.

This made him realize that he needed to find a way to repair his body as soon as possible.

Although now relying on talismans and spells, he can successfully complete the task of killing ghosts.

However, as his realm improves, sooner or later he will encounter more powerful and unpredictable ghosts.

He doesn't have to learn swordsmanship, swordsmanship, and stickmanship, but he must master a movement technique that can help him escape quickly.

Otherwise, if the ghost he encounters in the future has the ability to get close in an instant, then he can only wait to die in place.

…………

Thinking of this, Gu Xu opened the box Chen Jisheng gave him.

However, when he saw what was inside clearly, he frowned slightly.

"Xiaohan, come and see, is this really ginseng?"

Shi Xiaohan immediately brought his head together.

I saw that in the center of the box, there was indeed something shaped like ginseng.

It's just that the color of this thing is as white as snow, it looks crystal clear, with a hazy luster, as if it is a pure and unsullied jade.

"I heard this from my father. It's not ginseng, it's snow ginseng. It is rarer and more precious than ginseng. It is said to cure all diseases and improve the cultivator's aptitude to a certain extent," Shi Xiaohan replied after thinking for a moment. , "In legend, it will only grow on Yishan Mountain - you should know that Yishan is the domain of the 'Ferocious God' level ghost Snow Maiden. Anyone who tries to pick snow ginseng needs to risk his life being killed by Snow Maiden. .

"In the Daqi Dynasty, snow ginseng can be said to be priceless."

Hearing her words, Gu Xu was silent for a moment, and said calmly: "It turns out that this thing is so rare... No wonder it has never been recorded in the medical books of the Book Collection Pavilion."

"Gu Xu, take it to make soup, don't let down the kindness of Lord Chen!" Shi Xiaohan gently tugged at his sleeve, and then said, "I believe that after taking this snow ginseng, your body will It will definitely get stronger!"

Gu Xu nodded stiffly, and walked towards the kitchen with the snow ginseng.

At this moment, what Chen Jisheng said this morning appeared in his mind - "This is the ginseng given to me by the Qingzhou prefecture's thousand households".

Gu Xu knew that Wei Jiusi and Chen Jisheng, a thousand households in Qingzhou Prefecture, were only casual acquaintances, and their relationship was not deep.

If this snow ginseng is really an extremely scarce and priceless treasure, it is impossible for Wei Jiusi to give it to Chen Jisheng easily as a gift - wouldn't it be delicious to keep it for himself and his younger generation?

Presumably, Chen Jisheng had to pay a big price in order to obtain this snow ginseng.

Gu Xu sighed softly.

The box in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

…………

at the same time.

Yishui Exorcism Si Yamen lobby.

Another piercing cold wind came through the window.

Chen Jisheng picked up the handkerchief, covered his mouth, and kept coughing.

Mottled blood was clearly visible on his white handkerchief.

Like the blossoming red plums blooming in the ice and snow.
