Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 221 Innovative Thinking
However, Chu Fengge's smug attitude did not last long.

After a few seconds, the flames dissipated.

These "lost people" were not all reduced to ashes as he had imagined.

Instead, they were all safe and sound.

Still flapping its ears, it flew in mid-air.Apart from the slight scorching of the hair strands, there were no signs of injury at all.

Chu Fengge's expression froze immediately.

"The fire of true essence of the monks in the fifth realm can't destroy them all?"

This scene was undoubtedly within Gu Xu's expectations.

He knew that in this world, there were many strange ghosts—they seemed weak, but they were extremely difficult to destroy. They couldn't be killed without following specific rules and finding their weaknesses.

For example, there is a kind of ghost called "Cat Rong Po", which looks like an old woman with the head of a cat.Although it was only at the "wild ghost" level, its body was invulnerable to swords and guns, and even the full blow of the fourth-level sword cultivator could not hurt it.If you want to destroy it, you can only blind the third eye on the top of its head.

In this regard, the seniors of the Exorcism Department once gave an explanation: ghosts are actually the product of the rules of this world, and if you want to kill ghosts, you must follow the rules.

The heads of the "headed people" are also extremely difficult to destroy.

There are usually two ways to deal with them: first, limit the range of movement of their heads so that they cannot return to their bodies before dawn, and they will be reduced to ashes when the sun rises; When leaving the body, destroy their bodies, so that the flying heads will lose their energy source and dissipate naturally.

Thinking of this, Gu Xu took out a stack of body binding charms from his pocket, threw them into the sky, and at the same time silently recited the mantra: "Tianyuan True General, Earth Armor General. Fengdu fierce general, brave god. My order is issued quickly, Show off their powers. From Fusang in the east to Kunlun in the west. Up to Yujing and down to Guixu. Far across the four major divine continents, but close to within an inch. Conquer them in a hurry, and it will be a disaster for evil spirits." (1)

Before the words fell, the talisman papers floating in the air were driven by an invisible force and connected together, weaving into a large golden net, covering the entire sky.

The heads of the "lost people" are all covered by a large golden net.

They struggled hard, but couldn't break free from it.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Xu raised his palm and pressed down lightly.

The golden net was quickly gathered.

Its opening was sealed without any trace, and then hung on a towering ancient tree nearby.

The heads of the "headless people" rolled around in the big net, like animals that had accidentally fallen into a hunter's trap.They neighed sharply and looked at Gu Xu with resentful eyes.But Gu Xu's expression was still calm and calm.

"Gu Daoyou, the 'Binding Talisman' can still be used in conjunction with the 'Spell of Containment'?" Seeing such a scene, Shangguan Jin took a deep breath and couldn't help but ask.

Shangguan Jin was not surprised that Gu Xu was able to deal with the heads of these "headless people" by himself. After all, these monsters were not very powerful.

However, Gu Xu's tricks surprised her.

In her cognition, the function of the "Binding Talisman" is to bind the enemy with a rope condensed with true essence, which is generally used to deal with humans; Cooperate with specific instruments to deal with ghosts in spirit form.

They were originally unrelated.

But it was used together by Gu Xu, and it produced such a miraculous effect.

How did Gu Xu's brain grow?Why does he always come up with such deviant ideas?
"The 'Bound Talisman' I drew is not the same as the one in the book," Gu Xu responded with a slight smile, "Its scope of application is wider than the original one.

"As for using it in conjunction with the 'Scary Curse'... it was an idea that popped into my head just now. I thought about it and felt that this method is theoretically feasible, so I directly practiced it."

Shangguan Jin stopped talking.

She thought that perhaps it was this way of thinking that made Gu Xu successfully learn the "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven", which is known for being mysterious and difficult to comprehend.

At the same time, Chu Fengge also stepped on the iron sword, slowly floated down from the air, and landed on the ground.

His face was very gloomy.

He originally thought that today he could make use of these "fools" to show off his skills, and let Gu Xu see the mighty true energy of a monk in the fifth realm.

Unexpectedly, Gu Xu stole the limelight again.

This made him feel ashamed and angry, and he wanted to curse, but he didn't know how to speak - after all, the key reason for the failure of other people's pre-appearance was that he didn't read too much, so he couldn't blame others.

At this time, Gu Xu went on to say: "However, these spells of mine have limitations. They can only last for two hours and cannot last until the sun rises. After the spells expire, 'Drop your head The heads of the min's will still break free and go to harm the residents of the nearby villages.

"So, we need to find the place where the bodies of the 'Headed Men' are located and destroy their bodies within two hours."

When Chu Fengge heard the words "Spells have limitations", his mood suddenly became slightly happier.

He thought: Gu Xu, that bastard, seems to have imprisoned the heads of the "lost people" in an understatement, but in fact he is just pretending and bluffing, and he can't wipe out these ghosts after all - I still need someone from Chu to take action in the end!

Since there was still a chance to make a move, Chu Fengge was no longer discouraged.

He clenched the hilt of the sword tightly in his hand, and secretly made up his mind that after finding the bodies of the "fallen headed people", he must kill the enemy before Gu Xu, and he must not be overshadowed by Gu Xu again.

Gu Xu glanced at the map given by Wu Qianhu in Anshun Prefecture again, and was about to take the lead and walk towards the place marked with a red circle.

But after pondering for a while, he still decided to do a simple divination in the same cautious style as before.

"Friend Shangguan, can I borrow your sword?" He asked Shangguan Jin beside him.

"No problem." Shangguan Jin nodded and readily agreed.

Gu Xu took the iron sword, laid it flat on the ground, then closed his eyes, and silently recited the divination mantra.

While he was chanting the mantra, the iron sword spun rapidly on the ground like a top, making the sound of whistling wind.The silvery white moonlight reflected on the iron sword, like white water splashes, splashed everywhere, dazzlingly bright.

After chanting the spell, he opened his eyes.

The iron sword then slowly stopped spinning.

He glanced at the location of the moon and the stars, frowned slightly, and said, "The sword's edge points to the southwest. If nothing else, that's the location of the residence of the 'Luotou people'."

"Is there a problem?" Chu Fengge asked with a frown.In his opinion, Gu Xu is really overly cautious, even such a trivial matter needs to be divination.

"Of course there is a problem," Gu Xu nodded, and replied, "Wu Qianhu's location marked on the map is in the north of us, which is completely different from the result of divination."

PS: The second is asking for a monthly pass!
