The news came too suddenly.
Many people were caught off guard.
For example, Shi Xiaohan had his servant buy five kilograms of beef this morning. Before it could be stewed, he put the "Taotie Seal" on it and had to leave Yishui County.
But Chen Jisheng's expression remained calm and solemn.
He stood beside the broad desk, gently stroking his beard with one hand. The sun shone in from outside the door, illuminating the words "Those who enjoy the benefits of the world will suffer the world's troubles" beside him, and also made the wrinkles on his forehead look particularly clear.
I heard him continue to say to everyone present:
"According to the regulations of the Exorcism Department of Qingzhou Prefecture, a fourth-level monk like me who masters the art of flying with a sword must arrive at the camp in the Yishan War Zone within one day, so I must set off immediately.
"Gu Xu, Shi Xiaohan, you two will wait at the Yamen for a while. A special vehicle will pick you up later.
"As for the others, because you are not at the second level, you do not need to participate in this battle. You just stay in Yishui and handle everything here. If you encounter something that cannot be solved, just write and send Go to the Exorcism Department of Qingzhou Prefecture."
After Chen Jisheng explained these things, a junior official like Wang Yang, who only had the first level of cultivation, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Enemies at the level of Yishan Snow Girl are too scary. They stood in front of the snow girl like ants standing at the feet of an elephant. If you are not careful, you may be crushed to pieces in the aftermath of the battle.
But at the same time, they are also extremely worried about the lives of their bosses and colleagues.
Although Master Chen has always left them with a strong and reliable impression, even though Shi Xiaohan has accumulated more achievements than they can catch up with in their lifetime, and even though Gu Xu has become an extremely dazzling star among the younger generation of Da Qi Dynasty——
But this time, they faced a veritable "fierce god".
"Fierce God", since it is labeled as "god", is destined to be qualitatively different from other low-level ghosts.
As if noticing the worried eyes of everyone present, Chen Jisheng smiled and said calmly: "Don't worry, everyone. Snow Girl has her own high-level experts to deal with. Our job is just to help deal with some small minions."
His tone sounded very relaxed, and it seemed no different from how he usually exchanged merits with his subordinates.
"Master Chen, when will you come back?" Wang Yang couldn't help but ask.
"Maybe a week, maybe half a month, maybe a month, it depends on when the big shots can deal with the Snow Girl." At this point, Chen Jisheng paused for a while, turned his head and glanced at Gu Xu, "Before, Gu Xu obtained the victory on Laoshan Mountain. Immortal inheritance, we haven’t had time to celebrate properly.
"When we come back from Yishan, we will have a delicious meal at Piaoxiang Restaurant. Then you can eat whatever you want and I will pay the bill."
Hearing the words "Piaoxianglou", Shi Xiaohan was reflexively excited for a moment. But thinking that she was about to go to the Yishan War Zone to face Xue Nu, and she didn't know when she would be able to come back, and she didn't know how the food there would be, and whether she could be fed happily... She began to feel a little depressed again.
"I have to go first."
Chen Jisheng casually said a word, then walked out of the Yamen lobby first, waved his sleeves, and summoned his natal sword "Wu Xing".
Then he stepped onto the flying sword and disappeared into the gray sky in the blink of an eye.
…………
An hour later, Gu Xu and Shi Xiaohan also got on the carriage heading for Yishan.
The carriage is completely black, with the sun, moon and stars of the Exorcist Department painted on the side walls, and a special formation is engraved on its bottom - because of the existence of the formation, this carriage is not only many times faster than an ordinary carriage, And even if you are driving on a rugged mountain road, you will not feel the slightest bump.
There were five people sitting in the carriage.
Except for the coachman, the remaining four people were officials of the Exorcism Department.
Gu Xu and Shi Xiaohan sat side by side.
Opposite them sat two middle-aged men, one tall and one short.
The tall middle-aged man has a square face with Chinese characters, and two curved eyebrows that are as thick as paint.
This man's name is Chai Biao, who comes from Yinan County near Yishui River. He serves as a police officer in the Exorcism Department and has an official rank of ninth rank.
The short middle-aged man has round eyes, thin eyebrows, a short beard, a thin build, and a yellowish complexion.
This person's name is Feng Buqi, who comes from Ju County and serves as the ninth-level prison chief.
Along the way, both of them remained silent and looked extremely solemn.
"Gu Xu, how much do you know about the Yishan Snow Girl?" Suddenly, Shi Xiaohan reached out and poked Gu Xu's arm, breaking the silence in the carriage, "I often hear maids and nannies say that the Snow Girl likes to The handsome young men are captured and made into ice sculptures in the cave, and then their souls are eaten. You must be very careful after entering the Yishan area!"
From her voice, Gu Xu could feel the worry.
He smiled and couldn't help complaining in his heart: These rumors are all nonsense. The snow girl is actually face-blind.
But in order to lighten the atmosphere, what he said was: "My Lady, are you complimenting me on my handsomeness in disguise?"
Shi Xiaohan leaned against the side wall of the carriage, crossed his legs, and glanced at him lightly: "I didn't expect you to be so shameless."
Although her tone was cold.
But Gu Xu noticed that the worry in her eyes had faded a lot unconsciously.
A few minutes later, the carriage drove into a mountain forest.
The trees rise from the ground, thick and strong, like giants holding their heads high.
The light grew dimmer and the temperature grew colder.
Occasionally, hail would drift into the car window with the cold wind, and fall on Shi Xiaohan's black hair, which looked like clear crystal, complementing her metal hairpin ring.
Shi Xiaohan frowned slightly and shook his head, like a newborn bird fluttering its fluffy feathers.
Gu Xu took out a piece of talisman paper from "Xianyunju" and turned it into a transparent baffle - blocking the wind and rain outside the window without affecting their sight.
At this moment, Chai Biao, a tall, middle-aged man sitting opposite, suddenly looked at Gu Xu and said, "Are you really the Gu experience in Yishui County who solved the case of Lu's murderous house?"
"It's me." Gu Xu nodded.
"I... I have a friend who admires you very much," Chai Biao thought for a moment and then continued, "He has often seen your name in the newspapers and thinks your experience is more exciting than the stories told by storytellers.
"If he had the chance to meet you, he would definitely not believe that the famous Gu Xingcheng looks so young."
"I can't believe it either," Feng Buqi next to him interjected, "My nephew is the same age as Mr. Gu. But now he just stays with his group of friends, fighting crickets and poking at bird's nests all day long. "
"Well, the same goes for my son," Chai Biao also sighed. "He has no talent for cultivation, so I can only send him to a private school to study in the hope that he can get a meritorious degree in the future. But yesterday the private school teacher told me that he has already I have been skipping classes for three days in a row..."
In this way, after the two middle-aged men found a common topic, they couldn't help but start chatting and began to complain about their naughty children, not forgetting to compare Gu Xu.
The tension in the carriage seemed to be dissipating.
Gu Xu took out the booklet and began to write and draw casually on it with a charcoal pen, thinking about the problem of breaking the situation.
Shi Xiaohan leaned his head and looked at his notes.
But after all, she is not a person who likes to use her brain.
After a few minutes, she lost interest in the dense text and messy symbols in the notes, and began to feel bored and irritated.
"How far?" she said with a yawn.
"Master Shi, we have already walked a normal distance," the coachman replied, "We will probably arrive tonight."
"It's so slow," she pouted, "this heroine's sword is already so thirsty."
However, at this moment, the cold wind outside the car window suddenly became violent, roaring like a hungry beast.
A snowstorm is coming.
The snowflakes were thick and dense, like clouds in the sky, blocking their sight.
The entire mountain forest was also shrouded in heavy snow in an instant. Every tree and branch was wrapped in ice and snow, turning into a gleaming sharp knife pointing towards the dim sky.
Everything is white.
The sky is white, the ground is white, and even the breath exhaled from the tip of their noses is white.
"Ouch——"
There was a shrill howl of a wolf in the heavy snow, followed by a second, and then a third.
The sounds quickly joined together and lasted for a long time, which was terrifying.
With his spiritual perception far beyond ordinary people, Gu Xu saw hundreds of white wolves in the vast snow.
They all had a pair of hollow blue eyes and shiny sharp fangs, and they all rushed towards the location of the carriage.
"Snow Girl."
This name popped up in everyone's minds.
As Qingzhou people, they have all heard such a nursery rhyme——
"The strong wind is the song she sings, and the blizzard is her fluttering skirt. She lives in a palace carved from ice, and white wolves, elk and snowmen are all her people..."
If in the hearts of Qingzhou people, the "Nine Infant Snake Demon" is the incarnation of terror and disaster, and undisguised cruelty; then the Yishan Snow Girl is a dream, a monster that is covered in beauty but can kill people invisible. Horrible nightmare.
"The master of the Exorcism Department of Qingzhou Prefecture told me that this road is safe, and the snow girl usually won't come here again..." The coachman murmured at a loss as he looked at the white flying snow.
"Master Gu, what should we do?" Chai Biao, a tall, middle-aged man, also looked at Gu Xu with a worried expression.
Escape.
This was the first reaction in Gu Xu's mind.
If he were the only one here, he might not hesitate to crush the Sky Bead and escape to a safe place thousands of miles away.
But there was Shi Xiaohan beside him, as well as two colleagues from the Exorcism Department whom he met for the first time.
"Get off the carriage first and prepare to fight!" Gu Xu said calmly, "The heavy snow has blocked all our escape routes. This is our only choice."
"But there's no way we can be Yuki-onna's opponents——"
"——The enemy in front of us is not the snow girl herself, but the wolves under her command. As long as we stay calm, there may be a glimmer of hope."
Gu Xu had entered the confusing Lu family's haunted house, and had also jumped on the top of Mount Laoshan. In addition, he carried a life-saving trump card, which enabled him to remain calm at this critical moment and analyze the current situation rationally.
He remembered that in the Lu family's haunted house, Lu Shiyao's remnant soul controlled countless ice blades and killed all Tang Hui's accomplices by piercing their hearts within a quarter of an hour.
And today's Snow Girl is not only more ruthless than Lu Shiyao back then, but she is also likely to have saint-level strength.
If she really had murderous intentions, she could have taken more drastic and direct measures.
A heavy snowfall and a group of white wolves seemed a little too gentle compared to those terrifying ice blades.
"What exactly is she planning to do?" Gu Xu frowned slightly.
Before he could come up with a reasonable answer, the white wolves came to them at lightning speed.
Shi Xiaohan pulled out the heavy "Kunwu" knife and slashed at the leading white wolf. A shadow of Taotie appeared above her blade, making her sword power seem to be overwhelming.
Gu Xu also took out the "Ghost Killing Talisman" and threw it towards the white wolf in front.
Chai Biao took out the sword from its sheath, and Feng Buqi took out the hand crossbow with magic attached to it from his sleeve.
The blazing flames, accompanied by the light and shadow of swords, swallowed up the dozens of white wolves at the front.
After a while, the fire dissipated.
The white wolves did not turn into black ashes like ghosts.
Instead, they turned into puddles of clear snow, and then re-condensed into white snow, piled into snowballs, and then the snowballs turned into a new group of white wolves.
"They are not ghosts," Gu Xu concluded, "they are just products created by the snow girl using magic."
He took out the "Jinghong Pen" and prepared to use "Wan Lai Kong Silence" to break the snow girl's spell.
However, at this moment, the leader of the white wolf suddenly turned into a white lightning, appeared next to Feng Buqi in an instant, and bit Feng Buqi's neck with his gleaming teeth.
Before Feng Buqi could struggle, his entire body turned into an ice sculpture, his expression frozen on his face and his body unable to move.
All this happened in a flash of light.
The next second, Bai Lang, Feng Buqi, the strong wind in the forest, and the snow on the ground all disappeared.
The sky became clear again.
If it weren't for the fact that there was one person missing from the carriage, Gu Xu might have thought that everything that just happened was a dream.
"What on earth is going on?" He narrowed his eyes, puzzled, "Why did Xue Nu capture Feng Buqi? What did she want to do?

[Sorry for working overtime today, this chapter is almost finished. You can rest assured that Gu Xu’s peaceful life did not last long.
On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Chen Jisheng summoned all the officials from the Yishui County Exorcism Department to the Yamen lobby and told them a piece of bombshell news:
The battle against snow girls and mutated ghosts in the Yishui area has become fierce. Wei Qianhu of Qingzhou Prefecture issued an emergency call order, requiring all monks in the second level and above in Qingzhou Prefecture to rush to the war zone as soon as possible to help fight against ghosts and help the surviving people evacuate.
When speaking, Chen Jisheng's expression was solemn and dignified.
Everyone present also felt worried.
Shi Xiaohan raised his head and glanced at Gu Xu with uneasy eyes. The heavy "Kunwu Sword" on her back made her figure extra petite.
Gu Xu's expression remained calm, but deep down in his heart he couldn't help but sigh silently: What was supposed to come finally came.
ps: Please vote for me! (We are about to reach the climax of the final volume of the first volume. Many clues will be connected in series. I hope I can successfully write the feeling I envisioned...) Come back later! 】
[Zhulong: I used to have a puppy named Ah Hei. It likes to lick my shoes, eat my leftovers, and catch mice in the middle of the night. Then it died and I broke through. As for more details and what my magical power is... I will tell you when I have the chance. 】
Chen Yanping's answer was very concise, but Gu Xu could still feel his sad emotions when he broke through the words. Maybe this young master of the Chen family, who looked emotionless and emotionless, had fallen down next to the body of his puppy and cried loudly.
