Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 170 Disaster
At this moment, facing this sudden disaster, Chen Jisheng had too many doubts in his mind.

As the governor of the Exorcist Department of Yishui County, he knew that the formation of the "Nine Baby Snake Demon" sealed by the Grand Master of Qi eight years ago was divided into eight parts. Among the eight counties.

The array map was also divided into eight and stored in eight counties.

Only the governors of the various counties know the location of the array.

Every three years, the governors need to take out the formation map and maintain the seal.

For example, before Chinese New Year, Chen Jisheng once brought Gu Xu to the secret room in the basement of Zangshu Pavilion, and asked Gu Xu to recite formulas against the formation diagram to maintain the sealing formation.

Gu Xu also got inspiration from the battle map and developed the fifth generation "Taishang Beiji Town Demon Killing Talisman".

Eight years ago, Da Qi Guoshi once said this sentence: "If you want to release the 'Nine Baby Snake Demon', there are only two ways - first, obtain all eight arrays and decipher them one by one; Second, if the seal is not strengthened for 50 years, the seal will naturally lose its effectiveness."

Everyone believed that breaking the seal of the "Nine Infant Snake Demon" was impossible.

First of all, the formation map is scattered in eight counties, and is protected by the prohibition of the national teacher;
Secondly, as a sage who entered the Tao through talismans, the Grand Master of Qi State, after the death of his teacher Chiyangzi, no one can surpass him in the attainments of talismans and Taoism.

But now, hearing the shrill cry of a baby, looking at the black cracks that appeared on the surface of the earth, and feeling the scorching temperature in the air, Chen Jisheng felt like he was dreaming.

Since it has only been eight years since the "Nine Infant Snake Demon" was sealed, the possibility of "natural failure of the seal" can be directly ruled out.

"What's going on here?" Chen Jisheng frowned and thought to himself, "In the past eight years, no one has ever entered the underground secret room in Yishui County except me and Gu Xu. It stands to reason , it is impossible for the array to be leaked...how on earth was the Nine Baby Snake Demon released?"

"Governor Chen, the mission has been suspended now, why don't you run for your life?"

At this moment, someone slapped Chen Jisheng on the shoulder hard, making him recover from his trance.

Chen Jisheng turned his head and saw a fat man with a panicked expression.

Fatty's name is Gao Changshun, the governor of Mengyin County, Qingzhou Prefecture, and he was assigned to be on the same team as Chen Jisheng to kill ghosts today.

Before Chen Jisheng could answer, Gao Changshun summoned his natal flying sword, jumped up like a meat ball, and disappeared into the sky with a "whoosh".

"Escape..."

When Chen Jisheng heard this word, he hesitated for a second.

Because he suddenly remembered that he had more important things than running for his life.

He has experienced the terrible catastrophe eight years ago, and he knows how terrifying the "Nine Baby Snake Demon" is——

Its size can become as large as nearly a thousand miles, and it can almost cover the entire sky of Qingzhou Prefecture. Looking up from the ground, it looks like a dark cloud covering the sky and the sun.

It has nine heads in total, five are black and good at water; four are red and can breathe fire.

As long as it shows up, it can turn the entire Qingzhou Mansion into a hell of water and fire.

"I have to save people," Chen Jisheng said decisively, "Since the Nine-Infant Snake Demon has been released, the people of Yishui County will surely face annihilation."

He didn't think about saving Gu Xu and Shi Xiaohan.

Because he knew that these two people had their own means of saving their lives.

The ability of the "Nine Baby Snake Demon" is mainly to spit water and fire in a range of damage - it poses a great threat to ordinary people, but it is difficult to keep monks who want to escape.

So at this critical moment, Chen Jisheng decided to help those most in need.

Black cracks quickly spread to his feet.

Hot water sprang up from the cracks in the ground.

The burning fire is reflected in the water curtain, refracting gorgeous and colorful phantom light.

Chen Jisheng's clothes and hair were soaked, and white smoke was coming out. It was hard to tell whether it was the water from the ground or his sweat.

He waved his hand and summoned the "Worthless Sword".

Then he stepped on the flying sword, turned into a blue-white light, and flew straight towards Yishui County.

Never looked back for a moment.

…………

On the other side of Mount Yi, Shi Xiaohan and several monks from the second and third realms were also looking for traces of ghosts in the mountains and forests.

As the only daughter of Qianhu in Laizhou Prefecture and the only woman in the group, she is very popular in this team.

The companions all wanted to take this opportunity to make friends with her.

Whenever she wields the heavy "Kunwu Knife" to kill a ghost, her companions will applaud her collectively, scrambling to shout "Master Shi's martial arts is world-class", "Master Shi is really a gift from heaven", "Master Shi's The saber technique is so terrifying", "I never thought that a pretty girl like Mr. Shi could master such a domineering saber technique" and other words.

Shi Xiaohan would say a few words of modesty on the surface, but in his heart he was complacent.

It is undoubtedly something that makes her feel very happy to fly the audience with her own strength, and then lift her chin to enjoy the pursuit of others.

The only thing that dissatisfied her was that Gu Xu was not able to act with her today.

Ever since he received the summoning order to come to Yishan, Shi Xiaohan has always wanted to show off his skills in front of Gu Xu, and then listen to him praise himself in different ways.

It's a pity that Gu Xu was called away by that annoying first prince, so he couldn't stay in the same team with her.

This made Shi Xiaohan feel very depressed, and secretly put the name of the First Prince on the blacklist in his heart.

Of course, some people also asked Shi Xiaohan for news about Gu Xu.

"Master Shi, are you an official in Yishui now? I heard that there is a young man named Gu Xu in your Yishui County who solved the case of Lu's haunted house in Qingzhou Prefecture."

"You, Yishui, are really a wonderful place with outstanding people! Not only the beautiful girls like Mr. Sometimes, but also the young and promising son of heaven like Mr. Gu."

"That's right, that's right." Whenever Shi Xiaohan heard this kind of question, he would nod in response without thinking.

When others praise Gu Xu, just like praising herself, it can fill her with joy.

She slashed to death the last mutated ghost in front of her neatly, put away the Kunwu knife amidst the compliments of her companions, and prepared to move on.

However, at this moment, an accident happened.

The rumbling sound resounded through the forest, and the entire Yishan Mountain shook like an earthquake.

Cracks appeared on the ground, and fire and water vapor rose.

"What's going on here?" Someone exclaimed loudly.

No one answered.

At this moment, all the monks in the team were running away in all directions, for fear of being swallowed by these terrible cracks.

Shi Xiaohan was also dumbfounded for a moment.

She hadn't experienced the "Nine Babies Disaster" eight years ago, so naturally she couldn't recognize what was going on in the first place.

At this moment, her mind was full of thoughts: "Does that guy Gu Xu have a way to save his life? He only has the second level now, and he can't fly with a sword. Can he escape from this mountain smoothly?"

Thinking of this, Shi Xiaohan made a decisive decision, and immediately used the "Falling Flowers and Flying Catkins" body technique passed down by the Shi family's ancestors, stepping on the violently shaking ground and rolling rocks, and galloped towards the camp.

Gu Xu once mentioned to her that he was doing a task on a hillside near the camp today.

She walks lightly, like a flying swallow.

Cracks, flames, water mist, rocks... all seemed to be the background board behind her, unable to cause any obstacles to her.

And behind her, a vague ghostly figure of Taotie appeared, making her speed double as before.

After a while, she came to where the camp was.

There was no one in sight, only devastation.

She saw the temporary houses being engulfed by raging fire, the flag of the Great Qi Dynasty falling into the bottomless ravine, the milky white steam rising, and the monks in charge of logistics fleeing.

But she didn't see Gu Xu's figure.

After that, she used her posture again and searched several hillsides near the camp.

But she still couldn't find Gu Xu.

Her mood turned cold in an instant.

"Perhaps...Gu Xu should have already escaped," she tried to comfort herself in her heart, "He has the 'Jinghong Brush' and the inheritance of Kongxuan Sanren... It shouldn't be difficult for him to keep his life Bar……"

"Wow--"

At this moment, a baby's cry resounded through the sky and the earth.

She couldn't help shivering.

"Nine infant snake demon."

This strange but familiar term appeared in her mind.

Although she has never personally experienced the "Nine Infant Disaster", she has known the horror of this "fierce god" level ghost from the mouths of her colleagues in the Exorcism Division.

She knew that Zheng Yu, the former governor of Yishui County, died in the womb of Jiuying just to save two children.

She originally thought that since the Grand Master of Qi set up the sealing formation, the "Nine Infant Snake Demon" had completely become history.

Unexpectedly, it broke the seal and reappeared in the world.

If it cannot be resolved in time, the entire Qingzhou Mansion will once again become a hell on earth.

"what can we do about it……"

Shi Xiaohan stomped his feet anxiously.

She has been growing up under the care of others, with her father teaching her practice, a maid to take care of her life, and even Gu Xu to help her make up her mind when doing tasks.

She has never been so overwhelmed as she is today.

Inadvertently, she took out a shiny and smooth bead from her pocket.

This is a life-saving item prepared by her father Qianhu Shilei in Laizhou Prefecture.

My father said that this bead is called "Empty Breaking Bead", as long as it is crushed, it can instantly pass through the void and escape to any place you want within a radius of thousands of miles.

"Where should I go?"

At the first moment, she thought of fleeing to Laizhou Mansion, to her father's side.

From childhood to adulthood, the impression of her father in her heart was that he was tall and majestic, and he always gave her a strong sense of security.

But she immediately dismissed the idea.

Because she said to her father more than once in the letter, "I have grown up, and I am no longer the little girl who needs your care all the time. Now I am a heroine of the time who acts on behalf of the heavens."

Although she wrote this at the beginning, she was just talking back to her father, thinking that it was too annoying for him to be nosy.

But how could she slap herself in the face?
As long as she fled to Laizhou, she would undoubtedly admit defeat to her father, admitting that she was still a weak girl, and admitting that the so-called "hero" was just a joke.

"I want to go back to Yishui."

She made up her mind quickly.

Although she can't find Gu Xu now, she still has many relatives and friends in Yishui County.

For example, the maid Chen Xi who takes care of her daily life, the nanny who cooks soup for her every day, and the little official Wang Yang who likes to hide behind her back and gossip...

There are also many people I don’t know, such as the aunt who cooks barbecue on Caishi Street, such as the children kicking shuttlecock with her...

Breaking through the third realm "Naihe Bridge" requires firm determination.

And Shi Xiaohan's determination at the beginning was to become strong enough to protect the people of Yishui, his family, and his colleagues in the Exorcist Department.

"Father, today I want to prove to you that I am a true heroine."

She bit her lip, her face was almost bloodless, but her gaze became extremely determined.

Then she crushed the "Empty Breaking Orb" in her hand, and disappeared in place in an instant.

…………

Yinan County police officer Chai Biao is also desperately trying to escape.

He came from a mediocre background, and his talent was mediocre; because he didn't accumulate many meritorious deeds, he had never exchanged for a life-saving magic weapon.

All he can rely on at the moment is just a low-grade movement method "Gate Wind".

Relying on this movement technique, he tried his best to run fast on the slope of Yishan Mountain, stepping over one hideous crack after another under the scorching heat.

"Unexpectedly, this time I was summoned to Yishan to deal with Xuenv, but I ran into the 'Nine Baby Snake Demon' who broke the seal," he cursed in his heart while running, "There are three fierce gods in Jiaodong Province. Why am I so unlucky that I bumped into two at once... This is what God wants for my life..."

However, just as he ran to the foot of Mount Yi, he stopped suddenly.

Because he saw a crack hundreds of meters wide appeared on the ground in front of him, and even if he jumped with all his strength, he couldn't cross this terrifying natural moat.

In the cracks, flames blazed.

Beside the crack, besides Chai Biao, there were several desperate monks.

"What should I do?"

"Are we really going to die here today?"

At this moment, the baby's cries sounded again, sharp and ear-piercing, piercing through the heavens and the earth.

Immediately afterwards, a huge head appeared in the crack.

It was a dark red snake head with sharp teeth, spitting out snake letters.

From its mouth, bright flames burst out from time to time.

All the trees touched by the flames were turned into ashes in an instant.

The "Nine Baby Snake Demon" has four fire-breathing heads.

This is one of them.

In the next second, the Nine Baby Snake Demon turned his head, looked at the monks beside the deep ravine, and then spewed out a scorching flame again.

Chai Biao closed his eyes, feeling ashamed.

He knew he was doomed.

He just regretted that he didn't spend more time with his family before the Chinese New Year.

However, the expected burning fire did not come.

What came oncoming was a biting cold wind.

Chai Biao shivered, then opened his eyes, and was surprised to find that both sides of the crack were covered with ice and snow.

The flames sprayed by the Nine Baby Snake Demon were also frozen by the ice and snow.

The baby's cry gradually died down.

It was gradually covered by the howling of the cold wind and the howling of wolves.

"The two fierce gods of Qingzhou Mansion actually fought on their own?" Chai Biao couldn't believe it.
