Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 222 The Real Enemy

"The markings on the map are different from the divination results?" Shangguan Jin's expression also became serious, "Gu Daoyou, what do you think is the cause of this? Is there an error in the information provided by Wu Qianhu?"

"Two possibilities," Gu Xu stretched out two fingers, and said calmly, "First, as you said, Wu Qianhu gave us wrong information; In the habitat, there are more powerful ghosts with the ability to interfere with my divination results.

"However, the Kongxuan Sanren of the level of 'fierce god' has the power to block the master's secret deduction technique, but he still cannot affect the results of my divination on Mount Yi; moreover, in my memory, Anshun Mansion There has never been a ghost as powerful as Kongxuan Sanren in the nearby area.

"So, we can directly rule out the second possibility."

"Even Kongxuan Sanren can't affect your divination results?" Shangguan Jin couldn't help but sighed in surprise.

As the unnamed disciple and right-hand assistant of Luo Chuan, the head of the Exorcist Department, she works by his side every day, so she naturally knows the horror of Luo Chuan's secret technique.

Just two years ago, she had personally witnessed Luo Sishou sitting in the capital, conducting an accurate deduction of a "fierce god" level battle thousands of miles away, even the duration and number of casualties were not consistent with the real situation not the slightest difference.

Luo Sishou has always expressed in a humble manner that the reason why he has the ability to see everything in the world is because the supernatural "Zhongtian Beibei Emperor Ziwei" lent him his eyes.

Emperor Ziwei is in charge of the latitude and longitude of heaven and earth, governs the stars above, and governs Fengdu below. Nothing that happens in the heaven and earth can escape his perception——Luo Sishou himself is just lucky to get a little bit of insignificant favor from Emperor Ziwei. gift.

However, Kongxuan Sanren was able to keep Luo Sishou in the dark with the technique of shielding the secrets, so that he knew nothing about the changes that happened in Qingzhou Mansion.

As far as Shangguan Jin knew, divination was only a hobby for Gu Xu - he had been in contact with divination for less than a year, and he didn't spend too much time studying it.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for him to have the ability to decipher the shielding technique of Kongxuan Sanren.

But he was able to get the correct divination result under such circumstances.

Is this because he is gifted in this area, or is it because he has God's favor?

Shangguan Jin couldn't figure it out.

After hearing her question, Gu Xu smiled and responded: "Yeah, I was also surprised at the time."

He paused for a moment, and then continued: "So, I'm curious now, why the information on this map is wrong...whether it's unintentional or intentional."

At this moment, Gu Xu's gaze fell on a corner of the map, and he saw the words "Anshun Mansion" and a date marked there.

His expression suddenly became as cold as ice.

"What's wrong, Daoyou Gu?" Shangguan Jin keenly caught the change in his expression.

"The date marked on the map is the sixth day of May in the 11th year of Xingde. If there is no accident, it should be the day when this map was drawn," Gu Xu said in a deep voice, "but you can clearly see that this map has already started. It became yellow and old and damaged—this proves that a long time should have passed since the map was drawn.

"In the files I remember, Wen Yannian, an official, died in the line of duty together with two of his subordinates on March 12, Xingde [-].

"The content of the mission is not clearly written on the file. I don't know which mission he died because of.

"However, the green trees in this fantasy land in the pot are full of shade, the wind is strong, the temperature is pleasant during the day, and the night is slightly cool, which undoubtedly conforms to the characteristics of spring.

"And this full moon in the sky also indicates that it is the middle of the moon.

"In addition, as you said before, the difficulty of the 'Warming Pot' trial will be very high.

"So I suspect that the mission we are carrying out is the one that led to the unfortunate sacrifice of Wen Yannian and his subordinates."

Having said that, Gu Xu raised his head and looked into Shangguan Jin's eyes: "Fellow Shangguan, do you still remember the poem carved on the jade talisman?"

Shangguan Jin pondered for a moment, then responded: "'People's hearts are only one inch, and there are turmoil day and night'... Do you want to say that our real enemy in this trial may not be ghosts, but people? For example, this Wu from Anshun Mansion Qianhu? At the beginning, he deliberately gave Wen Yannian wrong information in order to use the hands of ghosts to kill Wen Yannian and his subordinates?"

Shangguan Jin deserves to be the entourage who won the trust of Chief Luo.Gu Xu only gave a little reminder, and she quickly made such an inference.

"But the question is... why did he do this?" Shangguan Jin frowned slightly again.

"I think our requirement for this trial is probably to find out the truth behind this incident." Gu Xu said lightly.

"Then what should we do now?" Shangguan Jin continued to ask, "Should we go and kill the group of 'lost people' according to the original plan, or go back to the Yamen and ask Wu Qianhu why the markings on the map are so different?" Error?"

Maybe it's because Gu Xu's identity at this time is the chief of the two, or maybe it's because of Gu Xu's astonishing insight just now, Shangguan Jin unknowingly regards him as the one who makes the decision.

"Let's go to the southwest to kill those 'lost people' according to the results of the divination," Gu Xu thought for a moment, and then said, "Then go to the north according to the map to see what dangers are lurking there.

"Back then, Wen Yannian only had the third-level cultivation, and his two subordinates only had the second-level cultivation. They had no ability to protect themselves from powerful ghosts. But if it were us, as long as we don't encounter the 'bad god' 'Ghosts and ghosts of the first level have the power to fight."

"Only the third level..." Shangguan Jin repeated Gu Xu's words in his mind, and thought it was very interesting, after all, Gu Xu himself only had the third level.

But she thought about it again, Gu Xu once defeated more than one fourth-level monk in the group arena on the Lantern Festival night, and even narrowly escaped death in front of the fierce god in Qingzhou Mansion... His real strength should be It is far more than ordinary third-level monks.

"Have you two finished discussing?" Beside him, Chu Fengge leaned against a big tree, folded his hands in front of his chest, and said in an impatient tone, "After discussing, hurry up and set off, don't grind here!"

Gu Xu and Shangguan Jin glanced at him like a fool, and then looked at each other: "Let's go!"

Immediately, they used the "Meteor Walking the Moon" body technique, and they flew through the dense forest like ghosts.

"Hey, wait!" Chu Fengge was stunned for a second, seeing the figures of Gu Xu and Shangguan Jin disappearing in place in an instant, he also used his footwork and hurriedly chased after them.

As a result, there was only a large golden net left in this place, and the heads of dozens of "fallen heads"—they rolled around in the net with hideous expressions and neighed unwillingly, but they could not escape from it. .

…………

A few minutes later, they arrived at the habitat of the "headed people".

This is a small village.

On the gentle hillside, there are blue-gray brick houses, as silent as sleeping.It looks no different from a human village.

However, Gu Xu noticed that the doors of these houses were locked, but the windows were all open.

They came to the door of the nearest brick house.

Shangguan Jin softly chanted the mantra.

A golden light soon appeared on the lock of the house door, and then only a "bang" was heard, and the door suddenly opened.

The three entered the house together.

Soon, they saw a strange scene in the bedroom of this house——

A woman is lying on a bed with only a body but no head.There was no blood flowing from her neck either.

"This is the body of the 'Headless People'."

While talking, Gu Xu took out a "Taishang Beiji Town Demon Killing Talisman" from his pocket, and was about to throw it on the bed.

But Chu Fengge moved faster than him.

A dazzling starlight appeared in the palm of his hand, and then turned into a blazing fire of true essence, engulfing the headless woman.

In an instant, the headless woman was reduced to ashes.

Seeing Chu Fengge's actions, Gu Xu shook his head helplessly.

Because he felt that in Chu Feng's singer's heart, which seemed to be a real essence, contained extremely powerful power, which was enough to destroy the bodies of hundreds of "fallen-headed people" in an instant.

Chu Fengge's actions at this time are simply killing a chicken with a bull's knife.

"Perhaps, this guy just wants to show off the tyrannical essence of a fifth-level monk in front of me!" Gu Xu guessed silently in his heart.

Then, in the same way, they went to other houses and destroyed the bodies of the remaining "headed people" one by one.

Chu Fengge yawned while setting fire to the corpse.

He had hoped that there would be a fierce battle here, which would give him a chance to show off his skills and enjoy the amazed gazes of Gu Xu and Shangguan Jin.

However, what they did after arriving at their destination was simple and uninteresting.

This made Chu Fengge feel deeply disappointed.

In addition, after they killed the "falling head people", the trial did not end, and Chief Luo did not release them from the "Warming Pot".

This obviously confirmed what they had just guessed - the "lost people" were not the final enemy of this trial.

"'Luo Tou Min' has been resolved," Gu Xu took out the map at this time, and ordered lightly, "Next, we should go to the place marked by Wu Qianhu.

"I'd like to see what's hidden there."

Hearing his words, Chu Fengge and Shangguan Jin both clenched their iron swords tightly.

The former is eager to try, with anticipation in his eyes; the latter has a solemn expression, with slightly dilated pupils, reflecting the silver full moon, like a wild cat hunting.
