At this moment, in the process of fleeing in embarrassment, a robber suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, as if he had been pierced into the temple with a sharp dagger, and as if someone had set off a string of firecrackers in his skull.

He let out a terrible scream, then his eyes went black and he fainted straight to the ground.

Gu Xu nodded with satisfaction, and then his gaze fell on the other robber.

The robber also held his head and fainted with a wail.

Then came the third, the fourth, the fifth......

It was as if they were dominoes, falling one after the other.

The young man Dong Zhuangzhuang sat in the carriage and looked at the scene in front of him in amazement.

As the official of the Exorcism Division, he naturally knew that this Master Gu was a cultivator with extraordinary powers.

For them, it should be easy to deal with this group of robbers.

But Dong Zhuangzhuang didn't expect that Master Gu didn't use a knife, a sword, or a talisman - just by looking at him, the robbers were instantly defeated.

Is this the legendary look that kills?

Dong Zhuangzhuang took a deep breath.

"It's good that I didn't make Master Gu angry just now," he thought to himself, "otherwise I wouldn't even know how I died." ”

…………

The effect of the "Eclipse" spell made Gu Xu very satisfied.

It doesn't need to chant spells, it doesn't need to be charged, and it can be released instantly, leaving enemies with no time to defend themselves.

In addition, this group of robbers are all mortals who have never cultivated their divine sense, and their divine soul power is very weak - they are simply vulnerable in the face of the "solar eclipse".

But Gu Xu's "Eclipse" spell was only initially practiced this morning after all.

In the process of casting the spell, he only felt that his divine sense power was rapidly draining, and he was afraid that after a while, it would be exhausted.

So he's going to save a little bit in case he needs it.

So, after the tenth robber fainted, Gu Xu stopped using the "Eclipse" technique.

His eyes were back to their former serene and bright appearance.

"Are you going to keep running?" The corners of his mouth turned up, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the remaining robbers, "If you want to continue playing cat and mouse, this official doesn't mind playing with you."

"It's just, when the official catches you, what will happen to you...... It's hard to say! ”

Gu Xu didn't speak loudly.

But under the influence of Zhenyuan, his words were not muffled by the whistling wind, but accurately reached the ears of the robbers.

At this moment, the robbers could no longer restrain the fear in their hearts.

The strange scene of their companions falling to the ground one after another, as well as the miserable howl, had already made them panic.

And Gu Xu's words completely collapsed the last trace of courage in their minds.

"Exorcist Division...... When did such a number one person come out? Did you just let us bump into it? ”

The robbers cursed in their hearts and sighed to themselves that they were unlucky.

They had only wanted to crouch in the grass and rob a few passing caravans.

Unexpectedly, he kicked the iron plate and hit the officials of the Exorcism Division.

Thinking of this, they threw their weapons and stolen goods on the ground one after another, knelt down in front of Gu Xu with a thud, and begged for his forgiveness.

"Spare your life!" The robbers kowtowed, "There is a ninety-year-old mother on the villain, and a three-year-old child below, if the villain dies here today, they will have no one to take care of them......"

"You look like you're thirty years old at most. Could it be that your mother gave birth to you at the age of 60? Gu Xu smiled and interrupted their words begging for mercy, "If you don't do arithmetic, don't lie casually in front of this official." ”

The robbers were silent.

Gu Xu was silent for a few seconds, his eyes fell on the robbers' bloodstained clothes, and then said, "You killed someone just now?" ”

The robbers looked at each other with a pang in their hearts.

After hesitating for a long time, one of them finally replied tremblingly, "Big ...... The big adults and the villains are also forced to ...... Because he was so poor that he couldn't open the pot and couldn't pay his taxes, he had to bring his companions to this official road and block a caravan......

"We just wanted to take some of our belongings and leave, but they didn't give them back or live, and they wanted to knock us out and send us to the yamen...... So in order to protect ourselves, we can only choose to do ......"

"It's a 'last resort'," the corners of Gu Xu's mouth rose to reveal a playful smile, "Listening to your crying and chirping tone, people who don't know will probably think that you are the victim." ”

"Sir, spare us! We won't dare next time! The robbers began to beg for mercy again.

In order to squeeze out a few tears, someone even grabbed a handful of sand from the ground and sprinkled it in his eyes.

Gu Xu looked down at them and said lightly: "Killing people pays for their lives, it is justified." It stands to reason that only by taking the lives of your pests can we maintain the normal order on this official road and the lives of other passers-by......"

The robbers trembled and shouted "Don't, adults."

But at this time, Gu Xu changed his words, and continued: "But this official is a person from the Exorcism Division, and he is only responsible for killing ghosts, not killing." If I kill you directly, it will bring a lot of trouble to this official.

"So, let's leave you to the officials of the secular yamen to settle the matter!"

After the words fell, Gu Xu took out a few pale yellow rune papers from his pocket and threw them at the robbers.

At the moment of throwing, the runes turned into a long, thick rope, and tied the robbers, both conscious and unconscious, to the trunks of several large elm trees by the roadside.

Then, Gu Xu took out the charcoal pen he carried with him and wrote a few strong and powerful characters on the trunk of the elm tree:

"Walk on the official road, and do not do evil;

"Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky."

He felt that this sentence should have a good warning effect on passers-by on the official road in the future.

After all, the bandits tied to the tree are a lesson in the past.

And the robbers are eager to find a hole to get into...... It's a shame to be hung on a tree for public display.

The village they live in is near here—if they are seen by an acquaintance, they might as well be dead.

………

The encounter with robbers is just a small episode on the way.

Soon, Gu Xu re-boarded the carriage and continued to drive towards Ju County.

On the way, he took out the pamphlet he had with him from his pocket, on which he wrote:

"Experiment time: October 11, 23rd year of Tianxing;

"Content: Initial evaluation of the power of the Divine Mind spell "Eclipse";

"Subjects: A group of robbers (mortals);

"Conclusion: This spell can sense the killing intent of nearby enemies, and can also instantly cause people to be stunned and even annihilate their consciousness, which can be used as a miracle move in actual combat.

"But it still has some limitations - first, the spell can only attack one target at a time; Second, it consumes too much of the power of the divine consciousness.

"We need to try to improve in these areas in the future."
