"I will be careful."
Hearing Cui Tianyou's words, Gu Xu nodded in agreement.
He knows that "Yishan Snow Girl" is one of the "Three Fierce Gods of Jiaodong", and only a saint-level powerhouse like the Grand Master of Da Qi and the Chief of the Exorcism Department can deal with it.
And he once heard Chen Jisheng say that if a 'snow girl' meets a man she likes, she will freeze him forever, turn him into a statue, and display him in the ice cave where he lives.
As a [Spirit Summoning Body], Gu Xu guessed that if he bumped into the "Snow Girl", he would most likely become her hunting target.
So he secretly decided that in future missions, he must go around the Yishan area as much as possible and stay far away from the terrifying "Snow Girl" who controls the cold storm.
"By the way, Brother Cui, do you know what the 'Three Fierce Gods of Jiaodong' besides the Snow Girl and the Nine-Baby Snake Demon are?" As he was about to leave, Gu Xu suddenly remembered A question.
Not long ago, Chen Jisheng once introduced to Gu Xu the famous "Three Fierce Gods of Jiaodong" - but Chen Jisheng only remembered the Snow Girl and the Nine Infant Snake Demon, but forgot about the third "fierce god" level What's the name of the ghost?
Cui Tianyou scratched his head, frowned and replied: "Sorry, Brother Gu, I remember I just looked through the relevant information yesterday, but I suddenly can't remember it now..."
"It's okay. I'll go to the library to look for its files another day." Gu Xu said with a smile.
"By the way, speaking of the library, many books there have been gnawed by rats and moths recently, and they need to be re-copied," Cui Tianyou continued, "I heard Mr. Chen say, Gu Brother, you are well-read and have an extraordinary memory——
“If we encounter something that we are not sure about when copying, I’m afraid we need to ask you to help us refer to it. The reward will definitely be yours. ”
“No problem. "Gu Xu readily agreed.
…………
Then, Gu Xu said goodbye to Cui Tianyou, walked out of this narrow side room, and prepared to go to the warehouse to collect the elixir from the old man.< /p>
However, at this moment, he suddenly noticed something was wrong with the power of his consciousness far beyond ordinary people -
In his perception, the rich evil spirit was like the deep sea The whirlpool is gathering at the northeast corner of the Exorcism Department.
“Why are the ghosts so arrogant? How dare you break into the exorcist office at night? "
Gu Xu frowned slightly and thought to himself.
As the second-in-command of the Yishui Exorcism Department, Gu Xu's current official rank and authority are second only to Chen Jisheng.
p>
According to the rules of the Exorcism Department, when encountering an emergency, he should immediately organize manpower to identify the situation and eliminate hidden dangers as soon as possible.
So, he clutched Li Hou tightly in his pocket. A thick stack of "ghost-killing talismans" called Cui Tianyou at the same time and walked towards the northeast corner of the courtyard.
However, Gu Xu did not see anything in this place where the Yin Qi gathered. All that was seen of the ghost was a young man lying motionless on the ground.
This young man is short in stature and has dark skin. He is clearly the exorcist department clerk and Gu Xu’s number one fan - Wang Yang.
"Wang Yang? Why are you lying here?"
Seeing such a scene, Cui Tianyou couldn't help but exclaimed.
Gu Xu patted his shoulder and said calmly: "Brother Cui, this guy has obviously fainted. No matter how loud you shout, he will not respond to you."
"Fainted? This kid was still jumping around like a rabbit during the day, why did he faint for no reason?" Cui Tianyou still felt a little confused.
Gu Xu did not answer.
He squatted down, pressed Wang Yang's pulse, and at the same time separated a ray of consciousness, penetrated Wang Yang's skin and flesh, and penetrated into Wang Yang's sea of consciousness.
The spiritual consciousness spell Gu Xu used at this time was naturally also "solar eclipse".
Only this time, he only used one percent of his usual mental power.
So, unknowingly, the method of killing turned into a method of treatment and diagnosis -
Just like a raging flood can easily destroy a home, but a trickle can. Irrigating farmland and nourishing all things.
If there were a master who was proficient in spiritual consciousness standing here, he would be deeply shocked by Gu Xu's meticulous ability to control spiritual consciousness.
Because what Gu Xu is doing now is comparable to carving patterns on tofu with a machete weighing dozens of kilograms. You can imagine how difficult it is.
…………
A moment later, Gu Xu observed that there were strands of black energy surrounding Wang Yang’s soul.
He knew that these black energies were the manifestation of evil spirits.
If his guess is correct, then Wang Yang may have been too impatient during his recent practice and failed to keep his mind under the erosion of Yin Qi.
Or to put it another way, Wang Yang has been "polluted" by the evil spirit.
Gu Xu’s expression immediately became solemn.
Because he knew that if this problem was not solved in time and the Yin Qi was allowed to accumulate and spread, Wang Yang's soul would be completely swallowed by the Yin Qi, and eventually lose his rationality and turn into a man-eating ghost.
"It seems that the path of cultivation in this world is much more dangerous than I imagined!" Gu Xu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
In the past, Chen Jisheng had emphasized in his ears countless times that one step on the road to spiritual practice would lead to life and death, and if he was not careful, he would lead to an abyss.
Perhaps it is because Gu Xu always strives for stability in his work, and because of his extraordinary cultivation qualifications, he has always felt that life and death crises are very far away from him.
But now, when he saw with his own eyes that his colleagues were being corroded by Yin Qi, he deeply realized that the dangers on the path of cultivation were not just scaremongering, but would actually happen around him. of.
"How is the situation?" Cui Tianyou asked worriedly.
"Fortunately, I can be saved, but I won't die." Gu Xu said expressionlessly.
Immediately, he took out the "Purification Talisman" from his pocket, put it on Wang Yang's forehead, and at the same time recited the "Purification Charm" in his mouth:
"Tai Shang Haotian, comfort me Body shape. Disciple's soul, five internal organs and mysterious things..."
As he recited the incantation, the black energy in Wang Yang's soul gradually dissipated and became transparent and clear again.
Recite the mantra.
Wang Yang finally slowly opened his eyes.
At first he looked a little dazed.
However, the moment he saw Gu Xu's face clearly, he suddenly sat up from the ground and shouted in surprise: "Brother Gu - no, Mr. Gu, why are you here?"
p>Gu Xu chuckled: "Brother Wang Xian, isn't it very poetic and picturesque to sleep in the open air in this courtyard with the bleak autumn wind?"
Hearing this, Wang Yang couldn't help but look up. I found that night had fallen.
The stars and moon are bright and clear, and the bright river is in the sky.
A cold silence.
"Gu...Mr. Gu, please listen to my explanation. This afternoon I was sitting here practicing as usual. It's just that in the middle of practicing, I suddenly lost consciousness and fainted for some reason..." Wang Yang explained stumblingly.
Gu Xu stretched out a finger and interrupted his words.
"Did you not stop practicing immediately after the efficacy of the 'Jingxin Pill' was exhausted?"
Wang Yang was stunned for a moment, and then praised from the bottom of his heart: "Gu Sir, you are really good at predicting things!"
Gu Xu glanced at him coldly.
In his opinion, even a fool can get such a simple thing, and there is nothing worth bragging about.
However, he still calmly said to Wang Yang: "Brother Wang Xian, when it comes to practicing this kind of thing, you still have to be stable and do not rush for success.
"I can save it this time. You, it may not be the case next time. If you are really swallowed by the Yin Qi and turn into a ghost, Master Chen will chop you to death with a sword without mercy. "
"Master Gu taught you a lesson! "Wang Yang chuckled and returned to his usual careless appearance.
Seeing that Wang Yang was safe and sound, Gu Xu stood up and walked towards the warehouse.
< p>He was still in a hurry to go to the old man to get the elixir!However, before he had gone far, Wang Yang suddenly heard a heartbreaking "Wow--" from behind him! Crying.
The silence of the night was broken again.
Gu Xu sighed, returned to Wang Yang and sat down cross-legged on the ground.
"It still feels like that. Uncomfortable? " He asked.
Wang Yang raised his head and looked at Gu Xu.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally said with a choked voice: "Brother Gu, you and Lord Shi are both so powerful. I have achieved such a high level of cultivation before I was twenty, and became an eighth-rank official... Compared with you, I feel like a waste... I don't know how hard I have to work hard to catch up with you..."
It turned out to be the samePeer pressure...
Gu Xu looked at his painful expression and wanted to say a few words of comfort.
But after thinking about it, he felt that no matter what he said at this time, he would be suspected of Versailles.
So he patted Wang Yang's shoulder gently and continued to remain silent, listening to what he had to say.
The cool breeze blows up on the autumn night, and the clear air is mixed with turbidity.
