Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 220 Unforgettable
"As long as you kill a 'lost man', your team can get two hundred meritorious service," Wu Qianhu replied after hearing Gu Xu's question, "As for how you and your subordinates will be allocated, that's up to you." You decide for yourself."

"Yes." Gu Xu nodded.

Wu Qianhu picked up a yellowed map on the table again, and handed it to Gu Xu: "Wen Yannian, based on the information I have, I marked the possible location of the 'Luo Tou Min' on this map. On the map. I hope this map can help you.”

"Thank you, Master Wu!" Gu Xu took the map and glanced at it seriously.

He saw that among the mountains and mountains on the map, there was a circle drawn in red ink, which was particularly eye-catching on the pale yellow paper.

…………

Gu Xu and the others did not waste too much time in the Yamen lobby.

After obtaining some key information, they came to the backyard of the Exorcism Office and took some weapons.

Shangguan Jin and Chu Fengge each held an iron sword.

Although these two swords do not have any special attribute bonuses, it is better to have a sword in hand than to be unarmed.

After all, for sword repairers like them, many fighting methods, such as the "Yunhai Xinghe Sword" they are good at, need to rely on weapons to display them.If the weapon is lost, the combat effectiveness will be greatly weakened.

As for Gu Xu, he asked for a few charcoal pencils and a stack of white paper, and quickly drew dozens of various talismans.

Chu Fengge looked at the complex runes he wrote one after another, and felt dizzy, as if he was reading a heavenly scripture.

Shangguan Jin watched with all his attention.

She has read some books on Talisman before.Although she couldn't draw talismans herself, she could sense that the talisman seals written by Gu Xu were different from the ones in the book.

From her point of view, the other talisman masters were drawing talisman drawings, as if they were drawing precise blueprints for mechanisms—their expressions were dignified and cautious, for fear that if they made a wrong stroke, all previous efforts would be wasted.

But Gu Xu's drawing of talismans seems to be creating a freehand landscape painting at will - eclectic, without a fixed formula, as if he is borrowing talisman seals to express his inner emotions.

This made Shangguan Jin couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

At this time, several small officials in the yamen suddenly came to Gu Xu's side, saluted him respectfully, "Miss Wen, are you going out to do missions again?"

"That's right." Gu Xu raised his head and replied lightly.

He recognized that these small officials were Wen Yannian's direct subordinates, and they were all first-level monks.

"Master Wen, do you want us to accompany you?" One of the officials asked proactively.

Before Gu Xu could speak, Chu Fengge beside him put his hands on his chest and said in a cold tone: "No need. You don't need to participate in such a simple matter."

In the eyes of Chu Fengge in the fifth realm, those "wild ghosts" level "downheaded people" can all be killed by his own strength.Gu Xu from the third realm and Shangguan Jin from the fourth realm are both burdensome to him, let alone these petty officials who only have the cultivation of the first realm.

The petty officials ignored him and still looked up at Gu Xu.

It can be seen that "Zhang Potian" played by Chu Fengge has no prestige in this yamen at all.

Gu Xu smiled, and replied: "No need. You all have worked too hard recently, you should go back to spend time with your family tonight!"

The petty officials showed relaxed and happy smiles on their faces, and sincerely thanked "Lord Wen", then packed up their things and went back to their respective homes.

Chu Fengge immediately cursed in his heart.

…………

After getting ready, Gu Xu and the three left the city again before it was completely dark.

At this time, most of the setting sun has sunk into the mountains to the west.The sky and the earth are glowing red—the faces of the three people, the swords at their waists, the endless woods, and the tall and simple city walls are all dyed red, and the red is extraordinarily bright, as if blood is pouring down from the sky of.

Relying on the "meteor walking the moon" technique, they walked like the wind among the rugged hills, following Wu Qianhu's markings on the map, looking for the traces of the "lost people".

"Gu Daoyou, I think this case should be much more complicated than it looks," Shangguan Jin came to Gu Xu's side during the walk and said to him, "According to the usual style of Mr. Si Chief, we are in the 'Warm Old Pot' The enemies we face are often similar in strength to our own.

"Behind these 'wild ghost'-level 'fools', there must be more terrifying enemies hidden. We must remain vigilant."

"I thought so too." Gu Xu said.

The wind in the forest was so strong that it made his robes rattle.

"Gu Daoyou is well-informed and has a lot of knowledge," Shangguan Jin continued, "Do you think there will be any powerful ghosts near Anshun Mansion that may pose a threat to us?"

Gu Xu thought for a while and replied: "According to the records in the files of the Exorcism Division, there used to be 'zu ghosts', 'supernatural power ghosts', 'bloody ghosts', 'temple ghosts', and 'poor ghosts' in Guizhou province. 'Wait for several kinds of 'evil spirit' level ghosts.

"However, since Wen Yannian did not start working as an official in the Exorcist Division until the fifth year of Xingde, and was promoted to the 'General Banner' only in the 11th year of Xingde—at that time, bloody ghosts, magical ghosts, and temple ghosts had all been banned. The Exorcist is gone, so we only need to beware of 'Zu ghosts' and 'poor ghosts'.

"'Zu Gui' is a ghost transformed from a fish. It lives in the mud and can walk on the road at night. If you get close to the mud where it lives, you will feel that your eyes and ears are covered and you can't hear clearly. I can't see it, and I even feel that my hands and feet are caught and I can't move it. It was eliminated in the 13th year of Xingde.

"The 'poor ghost' is weak and short. It likes to wear rags and eat porridge. It can absorb wealth and make people poor. Residents near Anshun Prefecture hate it. It was shot by Wu Ming, a thousand households in Anshun Prefecture in the 14th year of Xingde. It was resolved.

Hearing Gu Xu's words, Shangguan Jin couldn't help but looked at him in surprise: "Could it be that you memorized all the files of the Exorcist Division?"

Gu Xu was able to blurt out the characteristics of many kinds of ghosts, Shangguan Jin was not surprised.

After all, identifying ghosts is one of the requirements of the Exorcism Department for monks, and it is also an important test in the promotion assessment.Shangguan Jin also memorized the characteristics of many ghosts by heart.

But Shangguan Jin didn't expect that Gu Xu could memorize the numbers for so many years firmly in his mind.

"Actually, I just stumbled across the records of the Exorcist Division of Anshun Mansion by accident when looking up other materials," Gu Xu replied with a faint smile, "But usually, I only need to take a look at anything. , and never forget it again. Oh, it's such a painful thing."

Hearing his words, Shangguan Jin immediately thought of this: since you don't like such a great talent, then give it to me!To save me from spending so much time and energy on endorsing.

But suddenly, she thought that when Gu Xu was young, he had witnessed his parents being devoured by the "Nine Infant Snake Demon", and he also escaped from death in front of the "Fierce God" not long ago--whether he has survived these terrible scenes? Still vivid?Do you still remember every detail so clearly that you can't forget it even if you want to?

Chu Fengge ignored their conversation.

Holding the iron sword tightly in his right hand, he looked at the forest without interest and carelessly, and even yawned.

The journey was so peaceful that it bored him.

He only hoped that the ghost would appear as soon as possible, giving him a chance to show his talents.

…………

Twilight is fading.

The crimson clouds faded away, and the sky turned a deep purple, as if the blood flowing from the wound had been wiped clean, leaving only dull bruises.

Then, surrounded by stars, a round of full moon rose slowly, like a jade plate, and sprinkled silver-white light on the earth.

At this moment, a scream came from afar.Accompanied by the whistling wind, the three of them gradually approached.

"'Luo Tou Min' is here." Gu Xu said softly.

He glanced at Shangguan Jin beside him, and found that she also turned her head to look at him with a dignified expression.

A moment later, dense "bird flocks" appeared in the sky, like black silhouettes blocking the silver-white full moon.

But Gu Xu knew that those were not birds, but flying heads.With their ears as their wings, they will face the cool night wind and go to the nearby villages to prey on humans.

Before Gu Xu could make a move, Chu Fengge stepped on the iron sword and flew into the air.

True essence gathered in his hands.

Like a handful of milky water, it glows with bright starlight and breeds majestic energy.

Gu Xu knew that what Chu Fengge practiced was the top-grade exercise "Lie Xing Jue" created by Luo Sishou.It can borrow the power of starlight to help monks temper their true energy.

Now, after Chu Fengge has been promoted to the fifth realm, his true essence has become solid, able to show the characteristics of the exercises, and fully exert the power of the exercises.

In the next second, this ray of light flew to the middle of the "Headed Men", and then exploded with a "bang" like ignited explosives.

The "headless people" were soon overwhelmed by the scorching starlight, and howled in pain.

The strong impact spread in all directions.

Even Gu Xu and Shangguan Jin, who were standing in the forest, felt the oncoming heat wave.

Gu Xu felt that if Chu Fengge used this trick in Luojing City, it would be enough to blow up several streets in an instant, causing the residents on the street to evaporate instantly, leaving no bones left.

At this moment, Chu Fengge was floating in mid-air, with his head raised, his chest held high, his hands behind his back, and he was admiring the dazzling fire in front of him with a complacent attitude.

"Really weak!" He commented with the corner of his mouth raised.

PS: Ask for a monthly pass first!
