After he finished speaking, Chen Jisheng took a step forward, took hold of the "Worthy" sword, and waved it lightly.
A breeze blew by.
"Worthy" the sword glowed with bluish-white frost, tearing through the dark sky, and rolled towards the monster Pan Xiaopeng transformed into.
Gu Xu knew that the sword technique used by Chen Jisheng was called "Lime Sword Technique", and it was a low-level martial arts that looked ordinary.
But when Chen Jisheng displayed it in his hands, it carried an aura of determination.
Seeing the sharp sword light, the monster let out a mournful wail.
In its red and bulging eyes, there is a mixture of madness and pain.
However, although this monster looks terrifying, it was only a first-level monk before - even if it was swallowed by Yin Qi, its strength would not be much stronger.
But Chen Jisheng is a veritable fourth-level monk, and he obviously has the ability to kill this monster with one sword.
So, the moment the blue-white sword light came into contact with the monster, the monster simply evaporated, leaving only black ashes on the ground.
The courtyard and the entire nearby neighborhood returned to calm.
Chen Jisheng sighed silently, and with a thought in his mind, he took the "Worthy" sword back to his Dantian.
"Sorry, Pan Xiaopeng," Chen Jisheng whispered to himself, "please forgive us for not having enough ability to change you back to your original appearance. The only thing I can do now is to relieve you without pain. ...If there is an afterlife, I hope you can be safe and happy. You would rather not be a cultivator than suffer the torture of Yin Qi erosion..."
At the same time, Gu Xu looked at the black ashes on the ground and remained silent for a few seconds. Seconds later, he began to recite the "Rebirth Mantra" softly: "The Supreme Order, transcend all ghosts and ghosts, and be blessed by all the four lives..."
Shi Xiaohan stood beside Gu Xu, unable to help but She reached out and grabbed his sleeve - at this time, there was no blood on her pretty oval face.
She grew up under the care of her parents, listening to maids and nannies telling stories about heroes and knights, so she always dreamed of being a brave and respected heroine - in her life In perception, the matter of slaying demons is like a romantic fairy tale.
Her state of mind is like those children Gu Xu met in his previous life who longed to become Spider-Man or Green Forest Heroes - the reason why they have such dreams is more because they feel that they want to be Spider-Man. Or maybe Rogue is cool, not because he truly understands the suffering of others.
But now, when Xiaohan saw Pan Xiaopeng turn into a monster and be killed by Chen Jisheng with a sword, she felt that the fairy tale in her heart was completely torn to pieces.
The sugar coating of life was quietly peeled off, revealing her cruel and true side.
She finally realized deeply that in the process of practicing and killing ghosts, people would really die.
"Gu Xu..." she whispered like a mosquito.
"Xiaohan, what's wrong?" Gu Xu lowered his head and asked.
"You must be careful when you practice in the future..." Shi Xiaohan's voice became weaker and weaker, "Of course, you must also supervise me and never let me go crazy..."
She really couldn't imagine that if Gu Xu or she turned into a ferocious monster in the future and had to fight each other... What a terrible thing it would be!
Hearing her words, Gu Xu let out a long sigh, couldn't help but reach out and touch her long, soft black hair, and combed her slightly messy hair behind her ears.
"I promise you." He whispered.
According to Shi Xiaohan's previous temperament, she has always hated others touching her head - because she is not tall, she is afraid that if someone touches her head, she will become taller and shorter.
Many people, such as Cui Tianyou, were severely beaten by her for touching her head.
But when Gu Xu touched her head today, she did not reject him. Instead, like a docile little kitten, she leaned against him and let him straighten her black hair.
Today is one day away from Shi Xiaohan’s eighteenth birthday.
But she felt that the little girl in her heart who was ignorant of the world had died unknowingly.
…………
As for Wang Yang, who had followed Gu Xu and Shi Xiaohan all the way here, his legs suddenly softened and he knelt on the ground with a "plop", "Wow" He cried out loudly.
At the moment when the monster turned into ashes, he suddenly understood that his friend Pan Xiaopeng had completely disappeared from this world, and could never return to him, have dinner with him, or We did tasks together and played and joked together.
At this time yesterday, Wang Yang and Pan Xiaopeng were still joking with each other, calling each other "son" and asking each other to call them "father". The two sides were red-faced and refused to give in.
But now, these boring and childish jokes have completely become a memory of the past.
At this moment, Wang Yang even felt that if Pan Xiaopeng could be brought back to his side, he would be willing to admit that he was the so-called "son".
"Pan Xiaopeng, you are such a bastard!" Wang Yang said to the black ashes on the ground while rubbing his eyes, "Both Mr. Chen and Brother Gu have said more than once that practicing this kind of thing can lead to a stable career. Lord, you must not rush for success...but why are you unwilling to listen?"
…………
The second day of the twelfth lunar month in the twenty-third year of Tianxing.
It is suitable for offering sacrifices, burying, plugging caves, and sweeping houses.
Avoid getting married, making stoves, and planting.
…………
This afternoon, Gu Xu, Shi Xiaohan and Wang Yang, led by Chen Jisheng, came to the cemetery on the outskirts of Yishui County.
Since Pan Xiaopeng had completely turned into ashes and left no corpse, they could only use Pan Xiaopeng’s relics to pay tribute to him.He built a cenotaph.
Not far from this tomb is the tombstone of Zheng Yu, the former governor of the Exorcism Department and who died in the "Nine Infants' Disaster" - Gu Xuzai officially became the official of the Da Qi court. On that day, I came here to pay homage.
At this time, Chen Jisheng brought up the pension issue and asked Pan Xiaopeng if he had any living relatives.
Wang Yang shook his head: "Like me, he is an orphan and has no family."
Chen Jisheng sighed and said no more.
With a thought in his mind, he used his true energy to control the surrounding soil, and buried the wooden coffin containing Pan Xiaopeng's relics in the grave.
Then he summoned a rock, turned it into a square tombstone, and carefully carved Pan Xiaopeng's name on it.
Everyone stood beside the tombstone and was silent for a long time.
The biting cold wind ruffled their hair, but they were unaware of it.
It wasn't until the sky gradually darkened that Wang Yang hesitated and said: "Master Chen, Brother Gu, Master Shi... Do you know why Pan Xiaopeng and I would rather go crazy than spare no effort to practice? "
"Why?" Chen Jisheng asked.
I saw a bleak smile on Wang Yang's face: "Because... we are all the children who were saved by Mr. Zheng in the "Nine Infants' Disaster" eight years ago!"
