Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 227 Questioning
Under the darkness of night, Anshun Mansion was very quiet.

The lights have been extinguished and the residents are asleep.The pale moonlight fell on the gray eaves, which looked like a layer of icy hoarfrost.

Holding a map in his hand, Gu Xu, together with Shangguan Jin and Chu Fengge, walked along the wide street to the Yamen of the Exorcism Division.

At the same time, Wu Ming, a thousand households in Anshun Prefecture, had finished his day's work and returned to the guard room in the backyard to get ready to rest.

He didn't go to bed right away.

Instead, he sat quietly on the edge of the bed, lit the charcoal fire at his feet with his true essence, and at the same time took out a few crumpled papers from his pocket, and threw them into the flames.

Immediately, tongues of orange flames rushed up, like a group of hungry wolves seeing their prey, and instantly devoured the papers.

"Boom boom boom"!
Just then, he heard a knock on the door.

"Who would come to the door in the middle of the night?"

Wu Ming frowned slightly and stood up.

He was going to go straight to the door.However, halfway through, he suddenly remembered that the door had been locked by him.

So, he had to go back to the desk, take out the key from the drawer, and reopen the rusty door lock with a "creak".

However, when he saw clearly the faces of several people standing outside the door, he suddenly froze, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Fortunately, he has been in the officialdom of Daqi for many years, and he has the ability to control his expression far beyond ordinary people.

Soon, he smiled calmly, perfectly hiding his surprise.

"Wen Zongqi, you completed the task I gave you so quickly?" He said in a calm, even appreciative tone.

The few people standing outside the door were undoubtedly Gu Xu, Chu Fengge and Shangguan Jin.

Chu Fengge clasped his hands in front of his chest with an obvious impatient expression on his face; Shangguan Jin narrowed his eyes and looked at Wu Qianhu with playful eyes.

As for Gu Xu, he nodded slightly, his face calm, showing the polite and courteous appearance that a subordinate should have when facing his boss.

"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life, Mr. Wu."

As he spoke, he took off the jade pendant around his waist, held it in the palm of his hand, and tapped it twice.

Immediately, the jade pendant glowed with brilliant light, and then converged into a light curtain. In the deep night, the scene when Gu Xu and his companions beheaded the "lost people" was reproduced.

Wu Ming stared at the picture on the light curtain seriously.

He saw Gu Xu use the "Body-Binding Talisman" in conjunction with the "Scary Curse" to wipe out the flying heads of the "Leading People" flying in the air in a blink of an eye.

He saw Chu Fengge in the village where the "lost people" lived, using his true energy to condense into a scorching star fire, instantly burning the roof and body of the "luotou people" into ashes.

He took a deep breath, trying to maintain a calm expression.But his hands still clenched into fists involuntarily, and the knuckles of his fingers made a crisp "cracking" sound.

He suddenly felt that "Wen Yannian" and his subordinates in front of him were different from what he remembered - they seemed to have been taken away by someone, and they all became strange existences.

"Wen Yannian, when did you learn the art of talismans?" Wu Ming managed to squeeze out a smile, reached out and patted Gu Xu's shoulder, and said to him, "You look very powerful."

"Master Wu, I have even more powerful moves, do you want to see them?" Gu Xu asked in a mysterious tone.

Before Wu Ming could respond, he tapped the jade pendant again, and the picture on the light curtain suddenly changed.

The villages where the "lost people" lived disappeared.

Instead, there is a deep and shadowy mountain forest.

Wu Ming clearly saw ghosts such as "ghosts", "monsters", "hairy ghosts", "scary ghosts", and "poor ghosts" appearing one after another among the towering old trees, lined up neatly The neat queue is like an army waiting for inspection.

Behind them, the "Lord Yelang" in a black robe and a high crown appeared quietly—the eyes behind his golden mask were like black holes, as if he was looking at Wu Ming from a distant space .

Wu Qianhu's face suddenly turned pale.

"Wen Yannian" and his subordinates were not surprised to see this "Lord Yelang".

What surprised him were two other things - the first thing was that they were able to find out the real location of the residence of the "Droolers"; the second thing was that after they met "Lord Yelang", , was able to come back alive.

In his memory, "Wen Yannian" was just a third-level monk, and his subordinates were even lower... How did they do such an outrageous thing?

"Master Wu, if I'm not wrong, you and this 'lord Yelang' who is a 'fierce god' level should know each other, right?" At this moment, Gu Xu took the initiative to speak and asked with a smile .

"I don't know what you're talking about." Wu Qianhu frowned and said coldly.

His tone of voice had become a little irritable.

Gu Xu has already seen that Wu Qianhu's mood is very restless at this time - it's like a pot of water burning on the stove, just adding another fire is enough to make it gurgling and boiling.

So Gu Xu smiled, took out the yellowed map, pointed to the eye-catching red circle on it, and said to Wu Qianhu: "Master Wu, the place you marked for me is not 'Luo Tou Min' The place where the 'Lord Yelang' is located...

"Tell me, is it because you are an old acquaintance with that 'Lord Yelang', so you want me to say hello to him on your behalf?
"Or because you are worried that he will starve to death after a long stay in the uninhabited deep mountains and old forests, so you want to give him a delicious meal?"

Hearing his words, Wu Qianhu could no longer restrain his emotions.

He knew that the few people in front of him already knew his secret.He must make these few people disappear from the world at all costs.

As a result, a strong breath of true essence erupted from his body.

A gust of wind suddenly passed through the hall, making his clothes rattle.

Gu Xu took a step back.

He felt that Wu Qianhu, like Chu Fengge, was a fifth-level monk.The rising aura on his body is simply palpitating.

Afterwards, Wu Qianhu raised his hand and summoned his natal saber out of thin air. Then he gripped the saber tightly and slashed towards Gu Xu's position with murderous intent.

This sword is thin and sharp.The edge of the sword reflected the orange candlelight, as if it had been cast from flames.

But Gu Xu's expression didn't change.

To be precise, he had been waiting for Wu Qianhu to attack him.

The moment Wu Qianhu summoned the saber, he ordered in a flat tone: "Chu Fengge, are you still planning to do it?"
