As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Jisheng took a step forward, took hold of the "Worthy" sword, and waved it gently.
A breeze blew by.
"Worthy" The sword glowed with blue-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 it was displayed in Chen Jisheng's hands, it carried an aura of determination.
Seeing this sharp sword light, the monster let out a shrill wail.
In its red and bulging eyes, there was 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, it 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.
Therefore, 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 were peaceful again.
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 If 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, remained silent for a few seconds, and then began to recite the "Rebirth Mantra" softly: "The Supreme Order, transcend your ghosts, ghosts, all ghosts, and be blessed for all four lives..."
Shi Xiaohan stood next to Gu Xu and couldn't help but reach out and grab his sleeves - 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 heroic knights, so she always dreamed of becoming a brave and respected heroine - in her mind, she could slay demons and eliminate demons. The devil thing 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 think it is cool to be Spider-Man or Rogue, and It’s not because you really understand the suffering of others.
But now, after Xiaohan saw Pan Xiaopeng turn into a monster with her own eyes and was killed by Chen Jisheng with a sword, she felt that the fairy tale in her heart had been completely torn to pieces.
The sugar coating of life was quietly peeled off, revealing the cruel and true side to her.
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 in the future, Gu Xu or herself would become a ferocious monster and have to fight each other... What a terrible thing it would be!
Hearing her words, Gu Xu let out a long sigh, involuntarily reached out and touched her long, soft black hair, and tucked 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, she leaned against him like a docile little cat 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, he knelt on the ground with a "plop", and cried with a "wow".
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 come back to him to have dinner, do tasks, and play games with him. There's a fuss.
At this time yesterday, Wang Yang and Pan Xiaopeng were still joking with each other, asking each other to call them "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 while rubbing his eyes and looking at the black ashes on the ground. "Both Mr. Chen and Brother Gu have said more than once that if you can be a master in cultivation, you must not rush into it. OK...but why don’t you want to listen?”
…………
The second day of the twelfth lunar month in the twenty-third year of Tianxing.
Suitable for sacrifice, burial, cave filling, and house cleaning.
Avoid getting married, making stoves, and planting.
…………
That afternoon, Gu Xu, Shi Xiaohan and Wang Yang, led by Chen Jisheng, came to the cemetery in the suburbs of Yishui County.
Since Pan Xiaopeng had completely turned into ashes and left no corpse, they could only use Pan Xiaopeng's relics to build a tomb for him.
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 Xu also came here on the day when he officially became the official of the Da Qi court. Memorials were held here.
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 didn't notice 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.
A bleak smile appeared on Wang Yang's face: "Because... we are all the children who were saved by Mr. Zheng during the "Nine Infants Disaster" eight years ago!"
