Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 35 Dream Eater Tapir

Headquarters of the Exorcism Division, Star Observatory.

"He's awake." Sishou Luochuan said lightly.

Shangguan Jin was silent for a while.

She knew that Lord Si Shou was talking about Gu Xu—he had already seen the secrets of Taoyuan Town, and was about to wake up from the dream and see the truth.

"Gu Xu...he is really amazing." She sighed sincerely.

Shangguan Jin admires beautiful people, but appreciates smart people more.

A young man with a handsome face and a flexible mind like Gu Xu is really easy to win her opinion.

Luo Chuan said nothing.

He only felt that Gu Xu's appearance at this time was gradually overlapping with the figure of an old friend in his memory.

He is a little nostalgic, a little happy, and a little sad.

Now the night is coming.

I don't know if the old man is all right.

.........

The illusion in the pot, Taoyuan Town.

"What's that sound?" Ma Qin asked alertly.

"Maybe... we will be able to see Taoyuan Town's body soon." Gu Xu said with a smile.

"Ontology? What do you mean? Could it be that this town is still alive—"

Before he finished speaking, a thick and evil black mist rose from Taoyuan Town.

Then, the scenery around the two quickly distorted and deformed, like melting paraffin, and like a rotating kaleidoscope.

Ma Qin was only dazzled.

There was a faint "humming" sound in his ears, making his head aching.

After a few minutes, the surrounding environment finally stopped changing.

Ma Qin was surprised to find that the bustling and noisy Jiangnan town had disappeared.

At this moment, they are on a desolate hillside.

The sky was overcast and grey.

A cool breeze rustled.

Among the dry weeds stood a few badly weathered tombstones and scattered bones.

A gloomy and dreary scene.

There is only one peach tree, standing in the middle of the hillside.

Full of trees and splendid red, ten thousand branch pill blossoms and spring melts.

It doesn't fit into this bleak background.

And under this peach tree, a monster the size of a leopard was dormant.

It has a black-grey body, a body like a horse, a nose like an elephant, a face like a lion, a forehead like a rhinoceros, a tail like a cow, and legs like a tiger.

Its eyes opened slightly, but it still looked a little blurry.

"What kind of ghost is this?" Ma Qin pointed at the monster and asked Gu Xu next to him in a low voice.

At this time, Ma Qin had long regarded Gu Xu as a human-shaped library - if he encountered something he didn't understand, he could ask Gu Xu directly, which was much easier than thinking about it himself.

The corners of Gu Xu's mouth turned up slightly.

If it is said that before this, there are still a lot of guesses in his mind.

Then the moment he saw this black-gray monster, he suddenly became enlightened-he was completely aware of the origin and whereabouts of "Taoyuan Town".

He only heard him reply without hesitation: "This is a dream-eating tapir, an 'evil spirit' level ghost. This kind of monster uses the negative spiritual power of the human race as food, and can devour people's nightmares, and can also make these swallowed dreams heavy. present world.

"I guess that the Taoyuan Town we were in just now was a nightmare created by this dream-eating tapir.

"In the dream world, whether it is the lack of details or the cycle of time, it is undoubtedly very reasonable.

"This dream-eating tapir will trap foreigners in nightmares, making them feel pain and despair in time reincarnation again and again, so as to absorb their negative spiritual power, use it to strengthen itself, and continue to expand the scope of nightmares .

"This is the reason why Taoyuan Town has been expanding in area and increasing in population in history.

"If my guess is correct, as long as we find a way to kill this dream-eating tapir, our assessment will be passed successfully."

But Ma Qin's focus was completely on the word "evil spirit".

"However, Brother Gu Xian, 'evil spirit' level ghosts are not something we two can deal with casually!" Ma Qin said with some uneasiness, "We are a first-level monk and a second-level monk, I am afraid they add up. It's not enough for this dream-eating tapir to get stuck between its teeth!"

"Brother Ma, don't panic," Gu Xu said in a relaxed tone, "Look, there is a peach tree beside this dream-eating tapir, right?"

Machin nodded.

He always felt that Gu Xu had been looking at himself with caring eyes when he spoke.

Only to hear Gu Xu continue to explain:
"In Feng Shui, the peach tree is the essence of the five elements, which can control hundreds of ghosts, and has the effect of isolating evil spirits, warding off evil spirits and eliminating disasters. It is for this reason that the sword cultivators of the Exorcism Department often choose the peach wood sword as a weapon.

"The peach tree in front of us, if nothing else, should have been planted here by a spiritual master to suppress this dream-eating tapir. With this peach tree here, this dream-eating tapir should not be able to play its role. With all its power, we may still have a fight."

"I hope you didn't lie to me..." Ma Qin muttered in a low voice.

At the same time, he clenched the "Goose Wing Knife" in his hand and took a few steps forward, preparing to fight the Dream Eater Tapir to the death.

"Wait!" At this moment, Gu Xu suddenly stopped him, "I have a better way to deal with it."

"What way?" Ma Qin turned around in confusion.

"Brother Ma, you are a cultivator of the second realm, and your true essence is much more abundant than mine," Gu Xu said, "I want to use your true essence to draw a more powerful 'Tai Shang North Pole Suppression of Demons' Ghosts'."

"True Yuan... can you borrow it?" Ma Qin was amazed.

"It's very simple," Gu Xu smiled lightly, "Have you heard of 'please the spell'?"

"Of course!" Ma Qin still understood this common sense.

"Please God Mantra", as the name implies, is to ask a certain immortal above the nine heavens to grant him powerful power by chanting a specific mantra.

"As long as you replace the name of the gods in 'Please God Spell' with your name, Brother Ma, I can borrow your true essence." Gu Xu continued.

Hearing this, Ma Qin was stunned, and it took a long time before he recovered.

"This... this is not good!" he said falteringly.

In the eyes of the aborigines like Ma Qin, the immortals above the Nine Heavens have a very noble status.It is said that it was those immortals who taught the cultivation methods to the Great Wilderness Human Race, which gave the Human Race the ability to compete with ghosts.

He felt that it was an act of disrespect to arbitrarily tamper with the "Please God Mantra" like Gu Xu.

"There's nothing wrong," Gu Xu said. "In my opinion, no matter what the method is, as long as it can eliminate ghosts, it's a good method. I believe that the gods above are magnanimous and will never follow us. These puny ants care about such petty offenses."

Ma Qin sighed, and finally nodded in agreement with Gu Xu's idea.

So, Gu Xu closed his eyes and began to recite the mantra softly: "I would like to invite Master Ma, Qingzhou, to show off his supernatural powers. With a treasured sword in hand, he travels the world and walks like clouds with his feet. The smashing will not stop. The mountain spirits and ghosts will be subdued, and the younger generation will quickly return to their refuge. I am under the order of the Supreme Haotian, and I invite you to burn incense before the altar. The fire of the gods is as fast as the law!"

So embarrassing!So embarrassing!
Hearing this "Please God Mantra" adapted by Gu Xu, Ma Qin could not wait to find a hole and burrow into it immediately.

He couldn't imagine what his acquaintances, especially those in Qingzhou Prefecture, would think of him if they heard this spell and the title "Master Ma of Qingzhou".
