Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 66 Mind Reading
Gu Xu has just learned the "Meteor Walks the Moon" movement technique, and he is still a little rusty to use it now. He can only greatly speed up his movement speed, but for the time being, it cannot be as unpredictable and difficult to find as Shangguan Jin.

But after all, it is the top-grade body technique of the Daqi Dynasty.

Even if Gu Xu can only exert [-]% of its power, it is enough to disappear at the end of the street in an instant.

And the scene of Gu Xu's sudden disappearance like a phantom naturally fell into the eyes of some passers-by.

They all opened their eyes wide and let out a burst of exclamation.

Today, these passers-by have been looking for the Liujie tile house here, and they have seen all kinds of wonderful and unique skills of the entertainers.

Now, there are practitioners who inadvertently show their skills, revealing extraordinary powers that make people look forward to it.

They just felt that it was an eye-opener and a worthwhile trip.

"I really hope I can be a cultivator in my next life," a passer-by sighed in his heart, carrying a heavy sack, "If I had such a speed, I would never be slapped in the face by the shopkeeper for being late for delivery. scolded."

His companion laughed and said sarcastically, "You have to deliver and carry sacks when you become a cultivator. You are too unmotivated! If it were me, I would have gone to the Exorcism Division to eat and drink spicy food, and be everyone. Respected sir."

…………

At the same time, after being stunned for a moment, Shi Xiaohan also quickly used his body technique, trying to keep up with Gu Xu's pace.

The movement method she uses is the "Falling Flowers and Flying Sutras" passed down by the Shi family, which is a middle-grade martial arts——

As elegant as falling flowers, as light as catkins, this is the artistic conception of this body method.

However, even when Shi Xiaohan tried his best to mobilize his true essence, she was still left behind by Gu Xu.

The gap between high-grade martial arts and middle-grade martial arts is undoubtedly a natural moat that is difficult to overcome.

At this moment, she had to sincerely admire Gu Xu's amazing understanding.

Because in her impression, Gu Xu doesn't know any movement skills - this obviously means that the movement skills Gu Xu is using now should be learned by him in the last few days.

What an amazing learning rate!

Shi Xiaohan has always been known as "the little genius of the Shi family" because he learned new things very quickly.

However, it took her more than a month at the beginning, under the guidance of her father, to practice hard day after day, and then she completely mastered the "Falling Flowers Flying Xu" movement technique.

She felt that in front of Gu Xu, her talent could only be regarded as "ordinary", and could not be used as the capital of her pride.

"With Gu Xu's outrageous talent, maybe after a while, he will leave me behind..." Such thoughts popped into her mind inadvertently.

She thought that a few months ago, Gu Xu was just an inconspicuous little official in the Yishui Exorcism Division. When doing tasks, he could only hide behind her and attack her.

But now, Gu Xu is not only about to catch up with her in the cultivation base, but also selected for the "Shenji Camp", which has been recognized by the Lord Sishou, and the future is bright.

This made Shi Xiaohan feel a little nervous while he was happy for him.

She was afraid that Gu Xu walked too fast, and even if she tried her best, she would not be able to catch up with him.

"You have to do your best, future heroine," she clenched her fists and said to herself in her heart, "In the future, when you are cultivating, you must not desert!"

…………

in the blink of an eye.

Gu Xu arrived at the end of Xunliu Street and saw the incense case full of sacrifices, the young woman possessed by ghosts, and the panicked crowd around.

He read through the classics, and naturally and easily recognized the ghost possessed by the young woman in front of him——

It is transformed by a locust tree.

The locust tree is the ghost among the trees.

Its yin is very heavy, and it is easy to attract ghosts.

In Feng Shui, there is a saying that "there are locust trees in front of the house, and hundreds of ghosts walk at night", so it is very taboo to plant locust trees near the house.

And with the passage of time, those locust trees with a lifespan of hundreds of years will gradually give birth to spiritual wisdom under the nourishment of yin, and turn into tree demons with ferocious temperament and feeding on people.

"no Zuo no Die."

When Gu Xu saw the group of people holding the "God Jumping" ceremony in front of him, he silently complained in his heart.

The purpose of their ceremony was obviously to summon the soul of their ancestors.

But Gu Xu had read in books that the principle of the "God Dance" ceremony was like broadcasting to the ghosts, shouting "I'm here, come and find me".

The dead souls of the ancestors may be far apart, and they may not necessarily hear their calls.

But nearby goblins can definitely hear them, and can even follow their call to lock their location.

Just like this locust tree demon.

Gu Xu preliminarily judged that this locust tree demon can come here in the form of a split soul, and occupy the human body effortlessly, its body strength must be extraordinary.

It is likely to be a ghost of the "evil spirit" level.

According to the standards defined by the Exorcism Division of the Daqi Dynasty, the "evil spirit" level ghosts usually have the strength of practitioners in the third to fifth realms, and at the same time have wisdom and master a variety of spells.

With Gu Xu's current cultivation, it is almost impossible to compete head-on with "evil spirit" level ghosts.

However, he can also see that this locust tree demon is also restricted to a certain extent.

Its body should not have been fully cultivated to the point that it cannot be moved at will.

You can only use a ray of soul to use the "jumping god" ceremony to try to take over a human being.

"If you really want to face off against 'evil spirit' level ghosts, then the reward for this task should be far more than [-] meritorious deeds," Gu Xu thought to himself, "It's just... I need to think of a way to defeat the monster's split soul. At the same time, as much as possible to leave a life for this unfortunate woman who became a carrier.

"Of course, the little boy must be rescued first."

So, making a decisive decision, Gu Xu used the technique of "solar eclipse" to launch a violent attack on the split soul of the tree demon with the power of powerful consciousness.

The tree demon's movements suddenly stopped.

Its dense branches loosened for a moment, and the little boy who was nearly suffocated fell to the ground with a "bang" - he was breathing heavily, unable to believe that he was still alive.

At this time, the group of people who held the "God Dance" ceremony also noticed Gu Xu's arrival.

"It's the Lord of the Exorcism Division!"

When they saw the black "seven light clothes" on Gu Xu's body, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and finally felt a little sense of security in their hearts——

As if the traveler who was about to die of thirst in the desert suddenly found a source of water.

In the cognition of these common people, the monks of the Daqi Exorcism Department are heroes who master magical powers and subdue demons in the dark.

As long as the cultivator of the Exorcism Department is by his side, then nothing is to be feared.

At the same time, the locust tree demon also turned around and looked at Gu Xu who suddenly appeared here.

"Do you want to give this woman a life while defeating me?" I heard the tree demon say coldly in a hoarse voice, "The current cultivator really can daydream!"

"Can you read my inner thoughts?" Gu Xu frowned slightly.

The tree demon chuckled, noncommittal.

When the old people next to him, including Bai Qingyu, heard this, they were embarrassed.

They finally understood why this ghost was able to easily say their "dogdan", "nannan" and other unknown nicknames when posing as their ancestors.

It turned out that it actually mastered spells such as "mind reading".

"What a shame," the old people thought, bowing their heads, "now those unworthy descendants know our nickname. How will we maintain our image in front of them in the future!"

At this moment, Shi Xiaohan finally came.

Seeing that Gu Xu was safe and sound, she breathed a sigh of relief.

However, at this moment, the locust tree demon suddenly sneered and said to Gu Xu, "Your female companion seems to be very worried about your life!"
