"Being swallowed by the evil spirit and turning into a monster..."
Chen Jisheng's words made Gu Xu's face become serious.
Ever since Gu Xu became a practitioner, Chen Jisheng had often emphasized in his ears that the path of cultivation is a narrow escape from death, and if you don't pay attention, you will be plunged into an abyss.
Gu Xu knew that these words were by no means alarmist.
Because he had witnessed with his own eyes that Wang Yang, a junior official in the exorcism department, became possessed and fell into a coma during the practice.
At that time, if Gu Xu hadn't rushed to his side in time and used the "Decontamination Talisman" to help him resolve the evil spirit, I'm afraid they would have been separated forever.
Precisely because of the dangers of the spiritual path, Chen Jisheng also carries various types of elixirs with him to deal with such emergencies.
"Daqi Exorcism Department basically needs to deal with many cases every year where monks become possessed and become ghosts, and these monks are probably our companions.
"When something like this happens - even if the person who turns into a monster is me, or your best friend, I hope you will take action decisively for the sake of the safety of the people of Daqi, without taking into account old feelings.
"Because once the monks turn into monsters, they will completely lose their rationality and become indistinguishable between ourselves and the enemy... By then, they will become our natural enemies..."
What Chen Jisheng said three months ago echoed in Gu Xu's mind again.
At that time, Chen Jisheng's attitude was very strict, requiring his subordinates to keep this passage in mind - they would not be allowed to go to the public kitchen for lunch unless they memorized it to the point of knowing it by heart.
Today is the first time Gu Xu has encountered such a case.
He took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.
"Master Chen, who is the monk who went crazy this time? Where does he live?" He narrowed his eyes slightly and asked Chen Jisheng in a deep voice.
"It's Pan Xiaopeng. He lives at No. 34 Wenlin Street in the southwest area of Yishui County," Chen Jisheng replied calmly, "Fortunately, according to the latest news, there are currently no casualties."
Having said this, Chen Jisheng raised his voice slightly and told Gu Xu and Shi Xiaohan: "Let's set off now! If it's later, I'm afraid it'll be too late."
After saying that, he waved his hand and summoned his sword out of thin air - "Worthy".
Then, he stepped on the flying sword and flew away in the wind.
After hearing Chen Jisheng's words, Gu Xu and Shi Xiaohan did not hesitate. They used their physical skills to cross the streets and alleys, and flew towards the southwest.
Gu Xu, who mastered the "Meteor Walking on the Moon" footwork, ran in front, and Shi Xiaohan followed him.
Behind Shi Xiaohan, there was a short, dark-skinned boy.
It was Gu Xu's number one admirer in the Exorcism Department - Wang Yang.
Unlike cultivation geniuses like Gu Xu and Shi Xiaohan, Wang Yang was just an ordinary first-level monk, and he did not master such exquisite body skills as "Meteor Walking on the Moon" and "Falling Flowers Flying Catkins".
Even if he ran with all his strength, until he was out of breath and his legs were sore, he was still far behind those two people.
But even so, Wang Yang still tried his best to run towards Wenlin Street.
To Gu Xu, the obsessed Pan Xiaopeng was just an ordinary colleague in the yamen who was an acquaintance.
But for Wang Yang, Pan Xiaopeng is his best friend.
The news that Pan Xiaopeng turned into a ghost was like a bolt from the blue to Wang Yang - he really couldn't believe it was true.
So he wanted to go and see it for himself.
…………
A moment later, Gu Xu arrived at No. 34 Wenlin Street, less than a minute behind Chen Jisheng, who was flying with his sword.
This is a small courtyard house, the area is not much different from Gu Xu's house.
With his powerful spiritual consciousness, Gu Xu noticed that the surrounding environment was filled with strong evil spirits - even stronger than when Wang Yang fell into a coma.
Bang bang bang!
Within the locked gate of the small courtyard, there were violent banging sounds one after another; in addition, there were also creepy howling sounds.
The voice was rough and sad, shaking across the sky, as breathtaking as thunder.
People living nearby were undoubtedly frightened.
They walked out of their homes in panic and gathered on the streets, seeking a sense of security among themselves.
The sky is gloomy today, with dark clouds in the sky.
Hearing the howling of ghosts and wolves in this weather, the people almost had the illusion that they were in the underworld.
At this moment, when Gu Xu, Chen Jisheng and Shi Xiaohan appeared in front of them wearing "Qiyao Suit", their eyes all lit up, as if they saw a life-saving straw.
"Look, the Lord from the Exorcism Department is here!"
"Sir, there is a terrible evil spirit in this house!"
"Sir, please save us!"
"Sir, please make sure that all the ghosts in this house are wiped out! I have an old man and a young man in my family, but I don't dare to be neighbors with ghosts!"
"..."
When he heard the people's pleas, Gu Xu's mood was complicated.
Because he knew that the "terrible evil spirit" that the people called him was a respected exorcist official a few minutes ago, a hero who killed demons and eliminated harm for the people.
Just because he made some mistakes during his practice, he accidentally turned into a monster that was feared and hated by others.
"Master Chen..." Gu Xu reached out and grabbed the "Ghost Killing Talisman" in his pocket, looked up at Chen Jisheng beside him, and waited for Chen Jisheng's instructions.
"Follow me!" Chen Jisheng had no expression on his face.
He waved his "guilty" sword, opened the gate of the small courtyard without hesitation, and took the lead in walking in.
Gu Xu and Shi Xiaohan followed closely behind.
In this small courtyard, they could clearly see the appearance of ghosts——
He was eight feet long, with disheveled hair, pale complexion and red eyes.
But its appearance and clothing were exactly the same as Pan Xiaopeng in Gu Xu's memory.
It was wailing and hitting the wall repeatedly with its head. There was blood flowing from the top of its head, and it looked like it was in great pain.
Seeing such a scene, Gu Xu knew that Pan Xiaopeng was completely hopeless.
At this time, Wang Yang finally arrived here.
When he stood outside the door and saw his friend turning into such a ferocious and terrifying appearance, his mind suddenly went blank and he almost fainted on the spot.
"Master Chen, let me help him escape!" Gu Xu sighed softly, and was about to take out the "Ghost Killing Talisman" and throw it towards Pan Xiaopeng.
But Chen Jisheng suddenly grabbed his hand and stopped him.
"Let me do it!" Chen Jisheng said expressionlessly.
In Chen Jisheng's view, Gu Xu is still young.
He brought Gu Xu here today in the hope that Gu Xu could take Pan Xiaopeng as a lesson and be careful in his future cultivation path, and never rush forward in a hurry.
As for killing his colleagues with his own hands, Gu Xu should not bear it.
Let me, an old man like myself, bear this crime!
