However, Chu Fengge's smug attitude did not last long.
After a few seconds, the fire dissipated.
These "lost people" were not all reduced to ashes as he imagined.
On the contrary, they were all safe and sound.
Still flapping his ears, he flew in the air. Apart from the slightly singed hair, there were no signs of injury at all.
Chu Fengge's expression suddenly froze.
"The true fire of the fifth-level monks can't destroy them all?"
This scene was undoubtedly expected by Gu Xu.
He knew that there were many strange ghosts in this world - they seemed weak, but they were extremely difficult to eliminate. It was impossible to kill them without following specific rules and finding their weaknesses.
For example, there is a kind of ghost called "Mao Rongpo", who looks like an old woman with the head of a cat and the body of a cat. Although it is only at the "Wild Ghost" level, its body is invulnerable, and even a full blow from a fourth-level swordsman can't hurt it. To destroy it, you can only blind the third eye on its head.
In this regard, the seniors of the Exorcism Department once gave an explanation: Ghosts are actually the product of the rules of this world. If you want to kill ghosts, you must follow the rules.
For example, the heads of "fallen people" are also extremely difficult to destroy.
There are usually two ways to deal with them: first, limit the range of movement of their heads so that they cannot return to their bodies before dawn, and they will be reduced to ashes when the sun rises; second, use their heads to When they leave the body, destroy their bodies. In this way, the flying heads will lose their energy source and dissipate naturally.
Thinking of this, Gu Xu took out a stack of binding talismans from his pocket and threw it into the sky, while silently reciting the incantation: "The true general of Tianyuan, the general of Dijia. The fierce general of Fengdu, the brave spirit. My order is issued quickly, It shows its power and power. It reaches Fusang in the east and Kunlun in the west. It goes as far as Yujing and as far as Guixu. It covers the four major divine continents from afar, but never leaves a small distance when you are close. It is a disaster for evil spirits to take pictures in a hurry." (1)
Before he finished speaking, the talismans floating in the air were connected together by an invisible force, weaving into a large golden net that covered the entire sky.
The heads of the "fallen people" were covered by large golden nets.
They struggled hard but couldn't break free.
Then, Gu Xu raised his palm and pressed it gently.
The golden net closed quickly.
Its opening was sealed without any trace, and then hung on a towering old tree nearby.
The heads of the "lost men" rolled back and forth in the big net, like animals that accidentally fell into a hunter's trap. They made a sharp neighing sound and looked at Gu Xu with malicious eyes. But Gu Xu's expression remained calm and calm.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, the 'Binding Talisman' can actually be used in conjunction with the 'Haunting Curse'?" Seeing such a scene, Shangguan Jin took a deep breath and couldn't help but ask.
Shangguan Jin was not surprised that Gu Xu was able to kill the heads of these "lost people" by himself. After all, these monsters were not very powerful.
However, the tricks Gu Xu used made her extremely surprised.
In her understanding, the function of the "Binding Talisman" is to tie up the enemy with a rope condensed with true energy, which is usually used to deal with humans; while the function of the "Poltergeist Curse" is to suppress evil spirits, which is generally needed Used with specific magic weapons to deal with ghosts in the form of spirits.
They were originally unrelated.
But they were used together by Gu Xu, and it produced such a magical effect.
How did Gu Xu's brain grow? Why does he always come up with such outrageous ideas?
"The 'Binding Talisman' I drew is different from the one in the book," Gu Xu smiled slightly and responded, "Its scope of application is wider than the original one.
"As for using it in conjunction with the 'Haunting Curse'... it was an idea that suddenly popped into my head just now. I thought about it and felt that this method is theoretically feasible, so I put it into practice directly."
Shangguan Jin stopped talking.
She thought that maybe it was this way of thinking that allowed Gu Xu to successfully learn the "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven", which was famous for being unpredictable and difficult to understand.
At the same time, Chu Fengge also stepped on the iron sword, slowly falling from the air and landing on the ground.
His face was very gloomy.
He originally thought that today he could use these "lost people" to show off his skills and let this boy Gu Xu see the powerful true energy of the fifth realm monks.
Unexpectedly, Gu Xu stole the limelight again.
This made him feel angry and wanted to curse, but he didn't know how to speak - after all, the key reason why he failed to appear before others was that he himself had read too few books, so he couldn't blame others.
At this time, Gu Xu continued: "However, my spells and spells have limitations. They can only last for two hours and cannot last until the sun rises. When the spells expire, 'Luotou' The heads of the people will still break free and harm the residents of nearby villages.
"So, we need to find the location of the 'Dead Man's' bodies within two hours and destroy their bodies."
When Chu Fengge heard the words "talismans have limitations," his mood suddenly became slightly happier.
He thought: Gu Xu, the bastard, seems to have imprisoned the heads of the "Dead Man" in an understatement, but in fact he is just pretending and bluffing. After all, he will not be able to wipe out these ghosts - in the end, someone from me, Chu, will still need to take action!
Since there is still a chance to take action, Chu Fengge is no longer discouraged.
He clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand and secretly made up his mind that after finding the bodies of the "lost men", he must kill them before Gu Xu, and he must not be overshadowed by Gu Xu again.
Gu Xu looked at the map given by Wu Qianhu of Anshun Prefecture again and prepared to take the lead towards the place marked with a red circle.
But after he pondered for a moment, he decided to follow his usual cautious approach and do a simple divination first.
"Fellow Daoist Shangguan, can I borrow your sword?" He asked Shangguan Jin beside him.
"No problem." Shangguan Jin nodded and readily agreed.
Gu Xu took the iron sword and laid it flat on the ground, then closed his eyes and silently recited the divination mantra.
While he was chanting the incantation, the iron sword was spinning rapidly on the ground like a top, making a whooshing sound. The silver-white moonlight reflected on the iron sword was like white water splashes, splashing everywhere, dazzlingly bright.
After reciting the mantra, he opened his eyes.
The iron sword then slowly stopped rotating.
He glanced at the direction of the moon and stars, frowned slightly, and said: "The sword's edge points to the southwest. If nothing unexpected happens, that is the direction where the 'Dead Man's' habitat is located."
"Is there any problem?" Chu Fengge asked.
"Of course there is a problem," Gu Xu nodded and replied, "The location marked by Wu Qianhu on the map is directly north of us, which is completely different from the divination result."
