At this moment, facing this sudden disaster, Chen Jisheng had too many questions in his mind.
As the governor of the Exorcism Department of Yishui County, he knew that the formation used by the Imperial Master of Da Qi to seal the "Nine Infant Snake Demon" eight years ago was divided into eight parts. According to the directions of acquired gossip, they were located in Yishui, Le'an, Anqiu, etc. Among the eight county towns.
The formation map was also divided into eight and stored in eight counties.
Only the governors of each county know the location of the formation map.
Every three years, the governors need to take out the formation map and maintain the seal.
For example, before the Chinese New Year, Chen Jisheng once took Gu Xu to the secret room under the library pavilion and asked Gu Xu to recite mantras against the formation diagram to maintain the sealing formation.
Gu Xu also got inspiration from the array diagram and developed the fifth generation "Tai Shang Arctic Demon Suppressing and Demon Killing Talisman".
Eight years ago, Grand Master Daqi once said this: "If you want to release the 'Nine Infant Snake Demon', there are only two ways - first, obtain all eight formation diagrams and decipher them one by one; second, Second, if the seal is not reinforced for fifty years, the seal will naturally become ineffective."
Everyone thinks that it is impossible to break the seal of the "Nine Infant Snake Demon".
First of all, the formation map is dispersed in eight counties and is guarded by the National Guard;
Secondly, as a saint who entered the Tao through talismans, the Imperial Master of Da Qi, after the death of his teacher Chiyangzi, no one could surpass him in the attainments of talismans and Taoism.
But now, hearing the shrill cry of a baby, looking at the black cracks appearing on the surface of the earth, and feeling the scorching temperature in the air, Chen Jisheng felt like he was dreaming.
Since it has only been eight years since the "Nine Infant Snake Demon" was sealed, the possibility of "natural failure of the seal" can be directly ruled out.
"What's going on?" Chen Jisheng frowned and thought, "In the past eight years, except for me and Gu Xu, no one has ever entered the underground secret room in Yishui County. Logically speaking, , it is impossible for the array diagram to be leaked... How on earth was this Nine Infant Snake Demon released?"
"Governor Chen, the mission has been suspended. Why don't you run for your life?"
At this moment, someone slapped Chen Jisheng hard on the shoulder, causing him to come out of his trance.
Chen Jisheng turned around and saw a fat man with a panicked expression.
The fat man's name is Gao Changshun, the governor of Mengyin County, Qingzhou Prefecture. Today, he was assigned to team up with Chen Jisheng on a ghost-killing mission.
Before Chen Jisheng could answer, Gao Changshun summoned his natal flying sword, jumped up like a meat ball, and then disappeared into the horizon with a "whoosh".
"Escape..."
When he heard this word, Chen Jisheng hesitated for a second.
Because he suddenly remembered that he had more important things than escaping.
He had experienced the terrible catastrophe eight years ago and knew how terrifying the "Nine Infant Snake Demon" was -
Its size can grow to nearly a thousand miles, and can almost cover the entire sky in Qingzhou Prefecture. Looking up from the ground, it looks like a dark cloud covering the sky and the sun.
It has nine heads in total, five are black and are good at water; five are red and can breathe fire.
As long as it appears, it can turn the entire Qingzhou Mansion into a hell of water and fire.
"I have to save people," Chen Jisheng decided immediately. "Now that the Nine Infant Snake Demon has been released, the people of Yishui County will definitely face annihilation."
He didn't consider saving Gu Xu and Shi Xiaohan.
Because he knew that both of them had their own means to save their lives.
The ability of the "Nine Infant Snake Demon" is mainly the range damage of spitting water and fire - it is a great threat to ordinary people, but it is difficult to retain a monk who wants to escape.
So at this critical moment, Chen Jisheng decided to help those most in need.
Black cracks quickly spread to his feet.
Hot water surged from cracks in the ground.
The burning firelight is reflected in the water curtain, reflecting a gorgeous illusion of light.
Chen Jisheng's clothes and hair were soaked, and white smoke was emitting. It was unclear whether it was the water from the ground or his sweat.
He waved his hand and summoned the "Worthy Sword".
Then he stepped on the flying sword and turned into a blue-white light, flying straight in the direction of Yishui County.
Never looked back for a moment.
…………
On the other side of Yishan Mountain, Shi Xiaohan was also looking for traces of ghosts in the mountains and forests with several monks from the second and third realms.
As the only daughter of a thousand households in Laizhou Prefecture and the only woman among the traveling companions, she was extremely popular in the group.
The companions all wanted to take this opportunity to make good relations with her.
Whenever she wields the heavy "Kunwu Sword" to kill a ghost, her companions will applaud her collectively, shouting "Master Shi's martial arts skills are unparalleled", "Master Shi is really a gift from heaven", "Master Shi's Words such as "The sword skills are so terrifying" and "I didn't expect that a pretty girl like Mr. Shi could master such domineering sword skills."
Shi Xiaohan would be modest on the surface, but he was filled with pride in his heart.
It is undoubtedly something that makes her feel very happy.
The only thing that dissatisfied her was that Gu Xu failed to act with her today.
Ever since he received the summons to come to Yishan, Shi Xiaohan had always wanted to show off his skills in front of Gu Xu and then listen to him praise himself in different ways.
It's a pity that Gu Xu was called away by the annoying eldest prince and couldn't stay in the same team with her.
This made Shi Xiaohan feel very depressed, and secretly put the eldest prince's name on his mental blacklist.
Of course, some people also asked Shi Xiaohan for news about Gu Xu.
"Master Shi, are you an official in Yishui now? I heard that there is a young man named Gu Xu in your Yishui County who solved the case of Lu's murderous house in Qingzhou Prefecture."
"Your Yishui is really a place full of outstanding people! Not only are you a pretty girl like Mr. Sometimes, but you also have a young and promising man like Mr. Gu."
"That's right, that's right." Whenever he heard this kind of question, Shi Xiaohan nodded in response without thinking.
When others praise Gu Xu, it fills her heart with joy just like praising herself.
She simply chopped down the last mutant ghost in front of her, put away the Kunwu knife amidst the praise of her companions, and prepared to move on.
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened.
The rumbling sound resounded through the mountains and forests, and the entire Yishan Mountain shook like an earthquake.
Cracks appeared on the ground, causing fire and water vapor to rise.
"What's going on?" someone exclaimed loudly.
No one answered.
At this moment, all the monks in the team were running away, for fear of being swallowed by these terrible cracks.
Shi Xiaohan was also stunned for a moment.
She had not experienced the "Nine Infants Disaster" eight years ago, so she naturally did not recognize what it was about at the first time.
At this moment, all she could think about was: "Does that guy Gu Xu have a way to save his life? He is only in the second level now and can't fly with a sword. Can he escape smoothly from this mountain?"
Thinking of this, Shi Xiaohan made a decisive decision and immediately used the Shi family's ancestral "Falling Flowers and Flying Catkins" movement technique, stepping on the violently shaking ground and rolling rocks, and rushed towards the camp.
Gu Xu once mentioned to her that today he was doing a mission on a hillside a few miles away from the camp.
Her steps were as light as a flying swallow.
Cracks, firelight, water mist, rocks... all seemed to be the background behind her, unable to cause any obstacles to her.
Behind her, a vague Taotie silhouette emerged.
Her speed doubled inadvertently.
After a while, she arrived at the location of the camp.
There was no one in sight, only devastation.
She saw makeshift houses engulfed in raging fire, saw the flag of the Qi Dynasty falling into a bottomless ravine, saw milky white water vapor rising, and saw the monks in charge of logistics fleeing.
But she didn't see Gu Xu.
Then, she used her skills again and searched several hillsides near the camp.
But she still didn't find Gu Xu.
Her mood instantly cooled down.
"Perhaps... Gu Xu should have escaped," she tried to comfort herself in her mind, "He has the 'Jinghong Brush' and the inheritance of Kong Xuan Sanren... It shouldn't be difficult for him to save his life. Bar……"
"Wow--"
At this moment, a baby's cry resounded throughout the world.
She couldn't help but shudder.
"Nine-baby snake demon."
This strange yet familiar term came to her mind.
Although she has never personally experienced the "Nine Infants Disaster", she has learned about the horror of this "fierce god" level ghost from her colleagues in the Exorcism Department.
She knew that Zheng Yu, the former governor of Yishui County, died in Jiuying's womb just to save two children.
She originally thought that since the Grand Master of Qi set up the sealing formation, the "Nine Infant Snake Demon" had completely become history.
Unexpectedly, it broke out of the seal and reappeared in the world.
If it cannot be solved in time, the entire Qingzhou Prefecture will once again become a hell on earth.
"what can we do about it……"
Shi Xiaohan was so anxious that he stamped his feet repeatedly.
She has been growing up under the care of others. Her father taught her how to practice, her maids took care of her life, and Gu Xu helped her make decisions even when doing tasks.
She had never been so overwhelmed as she was today.
Inadvertently, she took out a shiny and smooth bead from her pocket.
This was a life-saving thing prepared for her by her father Qianhu Shilei of Laizhou Prefecture.
My father said that this bead is called the "Breaking Sky Bead". As long as you crush it, you can instantly travel through the void and escape to anywhere you want within a thousand miles.
"Where should I go?"
For the first time, she thought of escaping to Laizhou Mansion to be with her father.
Ever since she was little, her father's image in her heart has always been tall and majestic, always giving her a strong sense of security.
But she dismissed the idea immediately.
Because she had said to her father in letters more than once, "I have grown up. I am no longer the little girl who needs your care all the time. I am now the heroine of the hour who does justice for heaven."
Although she originally wrote this, she was just talking back to her father, finding him too annoying for being nosy.
But how could she slap herself in the face?
As long as she escapes to Laizhou Mansion, she will undoubtedly admit defeat to her father, admit that she is still a weak girl, and that the so-called "heroine" is just a joke.
"I want to go back to Yishui."
She made her decision quickly.
Although she can't find Gu Xu now, she still has many relatives and friends in Yishui County.
For example, the maid Chenxi who takes care of her daily life, the grandma who makes soup for her every day, and the clerk Wang Yang who likes to hide behind her back and gossip...
There are also many unknown people, such as the aunt who cooks barbecue in the market street, and the children who play shuttlecock with her...
Breaking through the third realm of "Naihe Bridge" requires firm determination.
And Shi Xiaohan's original determination was to become strong enough to protect the people of Yishui, his family, and his colleagues in the Exorcism Department.
"Today, I want to prove to my father that I am a real heroine."
The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing two shallow dimples.
Then she crushed the "Breaking Sky Bead" in her hand hard and disappeared instantly.
…………
Yinan County Inspector Chai Biao was also trying to escape.
He was of mediocre origin and had mediocre talents; because he had not accumulated many meritorious deeds, he had never redeemed them for life-saving magic weapons.
All he can rely on at the moment is a low-grade movement technique called "High Wind".
With this movement technique, he ran as fast as he could on the slopes of Yishan Mountain, crossing one crack after another under the scorching heat.
"I can't believe that this time I was summoned to Yishan to deal with Xue Nu, but I encountered the 'Nine Infant Snake Demon' breaking out of the seal." He cursed in his mind as he ran, "There are three fierce gods in Jiaodong Province, how could I It's so unlucky to bump into two people at once... This is what God wants for my life..."
However, just as he ran to the foot of Yishan Mountain, he suddenly stopped.
Because he saw a crack hundreds of meters wide appeared on the ground in front of him. Even if he jumped with all his strength, he could not cross this obstacle.
In the cracks, flames burned.
Beside the crack, besides Chai Biao, there were several monks with desperate expressions.
"What should I do?"
"Are we really going to die from this today?"
At this moment, the baby's cry sounded again, sharp and harsh, piercing the heaven and earth.
Then, a huge head appeared in the crack.
It was a dark red snake head with sharp teeth and spit out snake bites.
From its mouth, bright flames burst out from time to time.
All trees touched by the flames were instantly turned into ashes.
The "Nine Infant Snake Demon" has four fire-breathing heads.
This is one of them.
The next second, the Nine-Infant Snake Demon turned its head and looked at the monks beside the deep ravine, and then spewed out a ball of scorching flames again.
Chai Biao closed his eyes, his heart ashen.
He regretted very much at this time that he did not spend more time with his family before the Chinese New Year.
However, the expected burning fire did not come.
Chai Biao suddenly felt a biting cold wind blowing against his face.
He opened his eyes and found that both sides of the crack were covered with ice and snow.
The flames spewed out by the Nine Infant Snake Demon were also frozen by the ice and snow.
