Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 127 When a hero becomes a monster (please subscribe for the first update!)
"Swallowed by the evil spirit, turned into a monster..."

Chen Jisheng's words made Gu Xu's face serious.

Ever since Gu Xu became a cultivator, Chen Jisheng has often repeatedly emphasized in his ears: the road of cultivation is a narrow escape, and if you don't pay attention, you will be in the abyss.

Gu Xu knew that these words were by no means alarmist.

Because he had seen with his own eyes that Wang Yang, a small official from the Exorcist Department, went mad and fell into a coma during the cultivation process.

At that time, if Gu Xu hadn't rushed to his side in time to help him dispel the evil spirit with the "Filth Relief Talisman", I'm afraid they would have been separated forever.

It is also because of the dangers of the path of practice that Chen Jisheng will also carry all kinds of pills on his body to deal with such emergencies.

"The Daqi Exorcism Department basically needs to deal with many cases of monks who have gone mad and turned into ghosts every year, and these monks are likely to be our companions.

"When this kind of thing happens—even if it's me or your best friend who turned into a monster, I hope you can act decisively for the safety of the people of Daqi, and don't take your old feelings into account.

"Because, once the monks become monsters, they will completely lose their rationality and become indistinguishable from ourselves...by then, they will become our natural enemies..."

What Chen Jisheng said three months ago echoed in Gu Xu's mind again.

At that time, Chen Jisheng's attitude was very strict, and he asked his subordinates to keep this passage firmly in their hearts - they were not allowed to go to the public kitchen for lunch unless they memorized it by heart.

But today was the first time Gu Xu encountered such a case.

He took a deep breath, trying to keep himself calm.

"Master Chen, who is the cultivator who went mad this time? Where does he live?" He narrowed his eyes slightly and asked Chen Jisheng in a deep voice.

"It's Pan Xiaopeng. He lives at No. 34 Wenlin Street in the southwest area of ​​Yishui County," Chen Jisheng replied flatly, "Fortunately, according to the latest news, there are no casualties yet."

Speaking of this, Chen Jisheng raised his voice slightly, and told Gu Xu and Shi Xiaohan: "Let's set off now! If it's too late, I'm afraid it will be too late."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and summoned his own sword out of thin air - "Worthless".

Afterwards, he stepped on the flying sword and walked away against the wind.

Hearing Chen Jisheng's words, Gu Xu and Shi Xiaohan didn't hesitate, and used their agility, crossed the streets and alleys, and ran towards the southwest.

Gu Xu, who mastered the "meteor walking the moon" footwork, ran in front, and Shi Xiaohan followed behind him.

And behind Shi Xiaohan, followed by a short, dark-skinned boy.

It was Gu Xu's number one admirer in the Exorcist Division - Wang Yang.

Unlike Gu Xu and Shi Xiaohan, who are geniuses in practice, Wang Yang is just an ordinary first-level cultivator, and he has not mastered such subtle body skills as "Meteor Walking Moon" and "Falling Flowers Flying Catkins".

Even if he ran with all his strength, he was out of breath and his legs were sore, but he was still left far behind by those two.

But even so, Wang Yang still tried his best to run towards Wenlin Street.

For Gu Xu, Pan Xiaopeng, who has gone mad, is just an ordinary colleague in the yamen who nods to him.

But for Wang Yang, Pan Xiaopeng is his best friend.

The news that Pan Xiaopeng turned into a ghost was a bolt from the blue to Wang Yang—he couldn't believe it was true.

So he wanted to go and see for himself.

…………

A while later, Gu Xu arrived at No. 34 Wenlin Street, only less than a minute behind Chen Jisheng who was flying with the sword.

This is a small courtyard house, the size of which is not much different from that of Gu Xu's house.

With his strong spiritual sense, Gu Xu sensed that the surrounding environment was filled with a strong evil spirit—more intense than when Wang Yang fell into a coma.

Bang bang bang!
Inside the locked gate of the small courtyard, there was a series of violent impacts; in addition to this, there were creepy howls.

The voice was rough and mournful, piercing the sky, like a thunderclap.

The people living nearby were undoubtedly frightened.

They came out of their homes in panic and gathered in the streets, looking to each other for a sense of security.

Today is a gloomy day with dark clouds in the sky.

Hearing the howling of ghosts and howling wolves in this kind of weather, the people almost had the illusion of being in the underworld.

At this moment, when Gu Xu, Chen Jisheng and Shi Xiaohan appeared in front of them wearing the "Seven Luminaries Clothes", their eyes lit up, as if they saw a life-saving straw.

"Look, the Master of the Exorcism Division is here!"

"My lord, there are terrible ghosts in this house!"

"My lord, please save us!"

"My lord, please let the ghosts in this house be wiped out! There are old and young in my family, and I dare not be neighbors with ghosts!"

"..."

Gu Xu's mood was complicated when he heard the pleadings of the common people.

Because he knew that the "terrible evil spirit" that the people called was a respected official of the exorcism department a few minutes ago, a hero who slayed demons and demons, and eliminated harm for the people.

Just because he made some mistakes in the process of cultivation, he accidentally turned into a monster that was feared and hated by others.

"Master Chen..." Gu Xu reached out and grabbed the "Ghost Killing Talisman" in his pocket, looked up at Chen Jisheng beside him, and waited for Chen Jisheng's instructions.

"Follow me!" Chen Jisheng had no expression on his face.

He swung the "Worthless" sword, opened the gate of the small courtyard without hesitation, and walked in first.

Gu Xu and Shi Xiaohan followed closely behind.

In this small courtyard, they could clearly see the appearance of the ghost——

It is eight feet long, with loose hair, pale complexion, and red eyes.

But its appearance and clothes are exactly the same as Pan Xiaopeng in Gu Xu's memory.

I saw it wailing, hitting the wall with its head repeatedly, with blood flowing from the top of its head, and it seemed to be in great pain.

Seeing such a scene, Gu Xu knew that Pan Xiaopeng was completely hopeless.

At this time, Wang Yang finally arrived here.

When he stood outside the door and saw his friend turn into such a hideous and terrifying appearance, his mind suddenly went blank and he almost fainted on the spot.

"Master Chen, let me help him escape!" Gu Xu sighed softly, and was about to take out the "Ghost Killing Talisman" and throw it at Pan Xiaopeng.

But Chen Jisheng suddenly grabbed his hand and stopped him.

"Let me do it!" Chen Jisheng said expressionlessly.

From Chen Jisheng's point of view, Gu Xu was still young.

He brought Gu Xu here today because he hoped that Gu Xu could take Pan Xiaopeng as a lesson from the past, be careful on the road of cultivation in the future, and never rush forward.

As for killing his colleagues with his own hands, it shouldn't be up to Gu Xu to bear it.

Let yourself, an old man, bear the burden of this crime!

PS: Ask for a monthly pass first!
