The resentful ghost of Zimu was one of the life ghosts of the Gong sect leader. Now he was killed. Not only was he seriously injured, but his life span was also shortened by twenty years. It would be great to find the innate life-nourishing pill and capture it. People can also use it to feed ghosts. No one can have too much of this kind of food.
Therefore, for a moment, Sect Leader Gong did feel a little surprised.
Until the disciples walked into the hall with high spirits and proud steps, and pushed Gu Chi in front of him.
Sect Leader Gong's expression suddenly solidified.
The senior brother hadn't realized the seriousness of the matter yet, so he said as if he wanted to take credit: "Sect Master, it was this boy who took away the life-nurturing pill. The disciples lived up to their trust, pursued him for dozens of miles, and finally captured him alive!"
Sect Master Gong: "..."
Good capture.
Well done, Nie Zhan!
And pursued for dozens of miles...
With a group of smart people like you in the Shangui Sect, why worry about the ancestral hall not being destroyed!
Gu Chi saw that his face was pale and pale, and his eyes were filled with anger and fear, so he had a suspicion in his mind.
He tilted his head and said, "The door owner seems to know me?"
Master Gong didn't say anything.
He answered Gu Chi's question with actions.
I saw the leader of the Gong sect suddenly rise up with lightning speed, and shouted angrily at the senior brother: "You still dare to take action, who gave you the courage to disrespect the immortal!"
Under the bewildered gazes of all the disciples, Master Gong swung his palm like a knife and cut off the right arm that his senior brother had used to push Gu Chi on the spot, bringing up a cloud of scarlet blood.
"Ah!!" The senior brother suddenly let out a scream that was not like a human voice.
Disciples: "??!"
what's the situation?
Is Master Gong going crazy? !
Before they could react in shock, Master Gong changed his violent attitude and fell to his knees with a "thud". He also specially concentrated his spiritual power on his knees, making the sound extra loud. If it were not made of the material of the hall, It's not good, I'm afraid this kneeling will bring out the echo.
"The villain has eyes but cannot see Mount Tai. I have offended the Immortal Lord. I hope the Immortal Lord will be merciful and spare this villain's life!" Master Gong knelt neatly and claimed that he had changed from an old man to a villain. He bowed his head and had gray hair. The drooping, aged face was filled with fear even in its wrinkles.
Gu Chi: "..."
Should it be said or not, this person is worthy of being the master of a sect. Before others can figure out the situation, he has already completed a set of combos.
Sect Master Gong also didn't feel the slightest fluctuation of spiritual power from Gu Chi, but he didn't even have the slightest intention of testing Gu Chi's thoughts.
Try and die.
The disciples couldn't help but swallowed when they saw the scene in front of them, feeling that their brains were a little weak.
Gu Chi never thought that Master Gong would change his attitude so quickly, and he hadn't even taken action yet.
But this is good, it saves time and can finish this work quickly so that the next one can be caught up.
It is rare to come to the ancient world, and you must enjoy it, but before that, you must first accumulate enough Taoist rhyme.
Anyway, there is no upper limit on the number of skills. If you prepare more, you will feel more at ease when doing things.
The senior brother who lost an arm was still wailing in pain.
"Shhh."
【Daoyun-1】
Gu Chi pursed his lower lip slightly, as if taking a breath.
The senior brother's face was twisted in pain, but his mouth was still moving, but he could no longer make any sound.
Master Gong's eyes jumped wildly when he saw it. What kind of magic is this, and it can actually be said?
Recalling what Gu Chi said when the resentful ghosts of his mother and son were suppressed and killed...
Fortunately he doesn't have a mother.
Master Gong's spine felt chilly and he broke into a cold sweat. He quickly kowtowed to Gu Chi again: "Immortal Lord, spare your life!"
The disciples seemed to realize something at this moment, and hurriedly dropped their weapons, and fell to their knees with the sound of the sword falling to the ground.
Gu Chi ignored them and didn't let them get up. He just walked to the throne of Master Gong and sat down. He looked at the not-so-high-end hall for a while. Then he noticed the portrait on the table and raised his eyebrows: "The painting is pretty good." It looks similar, have you practiced?"
Sect Master Gong: "..."
I didn't even dare to take a breath.
Gu Chi did not pursue further, and changed the question: "What kind of exercises do you practice on weekdays?"
Could it be that Master Gong didn't understand the meaning of these words and immediately said: "Go and bring all the techniques from the Treasure Pavilion to the Immortal Lord for review, quickly!"
"Yes, yes!" A disciple ran out of the hall as if he was running away.
Gu Chi asked again: "What about your daily harvest?"
Master Gong ordered again: "Bring over the gold, silver and jewelry as well!"
Another disciple has gone.
Gu Chi: "Did you arrest anyone else?"
Sect Master Gong: "Bring everyone too...bring them all!"
Just very sensible.
Gu Chi finally asked: "Are there any spiritual stones?"
Sect Master Gong looked embarrassed: "This...this really doesn't exist."
Gu Chi nodded, forget it. He just asked casually. He didn't expect the Shangui Sect to be rich. After all, it was just a small and unpopular sect.
Soon, three disciples came back carrying a box.
They didn't dare to run. The life lamp was still hanging in the sect. The monks who could run could not escape from the temple.
Behind the three of them followed a girl with shackles and dirty body. Her hair, which had not been washed for an unknown amount of time, was dry and frizzy, and stained with a few strands of grass. She looked like she was about thirteen or fourteen years old, which is about the same age as Bai Qi. almost.
Inside the box was half a box of jewelry, with a pile of exercise books on top, twenty-three in total.
One of the books called "The Art of Controlling Ghosts" records the method of refining ghost puppets. The ghosts must be caught first, and then raised with living people. At the same time, supplemented by secret spells and their own essence and blood, the ghosts can be recognized as their masters.
The more and better the ghost puppet eats, the stronger it becomes. The leader of the Gong Sect is only in the first level of perfection, but the resentful ghosts of his children and mother have raised him to the middle stage of the second realm. It can be seen how many lives have been lost to the ghost puppet. Such a big cell , now only the girl is left alive. If Gu Chi doesn't come, her death may be tomorrow.
[Tao Yun +8]
[Acquire temporary abilities: Ghost Control, Air Knife Palm, Fierce Jackal Fist...]
Seven of the twenty-three techniques have cultivation limits and require reaching a certain level, so they cannot be learned at the moment.
Gu Chi waved his hand and put the seven skill books and half a box of jewelry into his backpack.
Seeing this, the leader of Gong Sect thought it was a stored magic weapon, and he became more and more glad that he begged for mercy in time. This kind of precious treasure can only be found in large sects like Jian Sect. Those top powers can kill his mountain ghost with just a few clicks. The door was destroyed dozens of times.
Gu Chi motioned for the girl to stand next to him, then looked at Sect Master Gong who was kneeling on the ground and asked, "Can you tell me now about your relationship with the Demon Detective Division?"
"Yes, yes." Sect Leader Gong wiped the sweat from his forehead, not daring to hide anything, and told everything he knew.
Whether it was betraying the Demon Detective Division or the Fuyan Sect, the consequences were not something Shangui Sect could bear, but he had no choice now. If he spoke harshly, he would probably die on the spot.
After listening, Gu Chi found that the matter was more complicated than he thought.
As one of the few organizations in the Qianyuan Dynasty that could directly exercise the power of life and death, killing first and reporting later, the Demon Hunting Department had great power.
To sum it up simply, if they say you are a monster, then you must be one if you are not, there is no reason to say so.
The job of the Monster Hunting Department is just like its name, it is responsible for catching ghosts and eliminating them. However, the Monster Hunting Department in Jiangyan Town not only does not catch ghosts, but also deliberately posts monster hunting orders with generous rewards to trick the monks into Yinfeng Forest. Then he was captured by the Shangui Sect and fed as ghosts to practice martial arts.
Gu Chichu thought that the Anti-Monster Division did this because they took advantage of the Shangui Sect. It was not unusual for officials and bandits to collude. But in fact, the Shangui Sect was a passive party and they were just following orders.
Whether it is arresting ordinary people or setting traps for monks, the main culprit is not the Mountain Ghost Sect, but the Demon Detective Division itself.
Including the Fuyan Sect, who is behind the scenes of the Shangui Sect, most of the time they are also following the orders of the Demon Hunting Department.
This is very intriguing.
Cultivating minions in secret is no different from raising soldiers privately.
Gu Chi faintly smelled a "rebellion" smell.
This is going to mess up the rhythm.
It's not easy to decide which side to help, but Gu Chi doesn't mind muddying the water.
He uncovered the order to arrest the demons and killed the ghosts. The Demon Apprehending Department still owed him 1,000 taels of silver.
The blame for cheating him must be settled. Just because he wasn't cheated, it shouldn't be treated as if nothing happened.
This is also a good opportunity to build up your reputation, so let’s take action with the Demon Suppression Department of Jiangyan Town.
As for the court’s pursuit...
Gu Chi didn't pay attention at all.
The murderer was neither Gu Changge nor Gu Yuan, so what does it have to do with him?
Gu Chi looked at the night outside the palace. It was still a few hours before dawn, which was just right.
"I took the painting away, you don't need to remember my appearance anymore."
【Daoyun-7】
After that, Gu Chi grabbed the girl's shoulder, took a step forward, and disappeared directly into the hall.
The air became quiet for a moment.
"Go, go?"
After a few seconds, the image of Gu Chi gradually blurred in his mind, and then Master Gong realized that the Shangui Sect had escaped disaster, and let out a long sigh of relief.
The money in the exercises is gone when it is gone, as long as people live.
After kneeling for so long, Sect Leader Gong was a little tired and had no intention of scolding his disciples anymore. He just told them, "Don't go out to cause trouble during this period." He waved everyone away and returned to the practice room to meditate and heal.
He thought that for the sake of his sincere attitude, the matter was over. After all, there were a lot of Immortal Masters, so there was no need to argue with ants like them. Until noon the next day——
"Master Gong!"
"Something bad has happened, Master Gong!"
"All the people from the Demon Hunting Department in the town were killed!"
Sect Master Gong's body trembled while he was meditating, then returned to normal, and said calmly: "It would be better to kill them all, so that no one will know that it was us who leaked the secret."
"But Master Gong, someone from the Demon Slayer Department left a message on the wall."
"What word?"
"The ancestor of the Shangui Sect is here for a visit."
"???"
When Master Gong heard this, he couldn't hold himself any longer, the spiritual energy in his body reversed, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Ahhhh, Immortal Lord! I hate you!!"
