"I'll be careful."

Hearing Cui Tianyou's words, Gu Xu nodded in agreement.

He knew that the "Yishan Snow Girl" was one of the "Three Fierce Gods of Jiaodong", and only a saint-level powerhouse like the Great Qi National Master and the head of the Exorcism Division could deal with it.

Moreover, he once heard Chen Jisheng say that if the 'Snow Girl' meets a favorite man, he will freeze it forever and turn it into a statue and place it in the ice cave where he lives.

As a [Summoning Spirit Body], Gu Xu guessed that if he bumped into the "Snow Girl", there was a high probability that he would become her hunting target.

So he secretly decided that in the future, he must bypass the Yishan area as much as possible and avoid the terrible "Snow Girl" who is in charge of the cold storm and snow from afar.

"By the way, Brother Cui, do you know what the 'Three Fierce Gods of Jiaodong' are in addition to the Snow Girl and the Nine Baby Snake Demon?" As he was about to leave, Gu Xu suddenly remembered a question.

Not long ago, Chen Jisheng once introduced the famous "Three Fierce Gods of Jiaodong" to Gu Xu - but Chen Jisheng only remembered the Snow Girl and the Nine Baby Snake Demon, but forgot what the name of the third "Fierce God" level ghost was.

Cui Tianyou scratched his head and replied with a frown: "I'm sorry, Brother Gu, I remember that I only flipped through the relevant information yesterday, but I suddenly can't remember it now......"

"It's okay, I'll go to the library another day to find its archives." Gu Xu said with a smile.

"By the way, speaking of the Library Pavilion, there are a lot of books in it that have been gnawed by rats and moths recently, and you need to find someone to re-transcribe them," Cui Tianyou continued, "I heard Master Chen say that Brother Gu, you are well-read and have an extraordinary memory-

"If we encounter something that we are not sure about while copying, I am afraid we need to ask you to refer to it for your help. Yours are definitely the reward. ”

"No problem." Gu Xu readily agreed.

…………

Subsequently, Gu Xu said goodbye to Cui Tianyou, walked out of this narrow side room, and prepared to go to the warehouse to find the old man to receive the pill.

However, at this moment, he suddenly sensed that something was wrong with the power of his divine consciousness that far exceeded that of ordinary people-

In his perception, the rich yin aura was like a whirlpool of the deep sea, converging towards the northeast corner of the Exorcist Division.

"What kind of goblin is so arrogant? Dare to break into the Yamen of the Exorcism Division at night? ”

Gu Xu frowned slightly, and said secretly in his heart.

As the second-in-command of the Yishui Exorcism Division, Gu Xu's current official character and authority are second only to Chen Jisheng.

According to the rules of the Exorcism Division, when encountering an emergency, he should immediately organize manpower to find out the situation and eliminate hidden dangers as soon as possible.

So, he tightly clutched the thick stack of "ghost killing talismans" in his pocket, and at the same time called Cui Tianyou, and walked towards the northeast corner of the courtyard.

However, in this place where the yin qi gathered, Gu Xu didn't see any trace of ghosts, only a young man lying motionless on the ground.

This young man is short in stature and dark-skinned, and he is the number one fan of the Exorcist Division and Gu Xu-Wang Yang.

"Wang Yang? Why are you lying here, you kid? ”

Seeing such a scene, Cui Tianyou couldn't help but exclaim.

Gu Xu patted him on the shoulder and said lightly: "Brother Cui, this guy has obviously fainted. No matter how loud you shout, he won't respond to you. ”

"Dizzy? This kid is still alive and kicking like a rabbit during the day, why did he faint inexplicably? Cui Tianyou still felt a little puzzled.

Gu Xu didn't answer.

He squatted down, pressed Wang Yang's pulse, and at the same time separated a wisp of divine consciousness, penetrating Wang Yang's skin and flesh, and burrowing into Wang Yang's sea of consciousness.

The divine sense spell Gu Xu used at this time was naturally also a "solar eclipse".

Only this time, he only used one percent of his usual spiritual power.

So, unconsciously, the method of killing became the art of treatment and diagnosis-

Just as a monstrous flood can easily destroy a home, a trickle can irrigate farmland and nourish everything.

If there was a master who was proficient in the Divine Mind Spell standing here, he would definitely be deeply shocked by Gu Xu's meticulous ability to control his divine sense.

Because what Gu Xu is doing now is comparable to carving on tofu with a machete weighing dozens of catties, and the difficulty can be imagined.

…………

A moment later, Gu Xu observed that around Wang Yang's divine soul, there were wisps of black qi entangled.

He knew that these black qi were the embodiment of the evil qi.

If his guess was correct, then it was likely that Wang Yang was impatient and rash during his recent cultivation and failed to hold his mind under the erosion of Yin Qi.

Or to put it another way, Wang Yang has been "polluted" by the sinister atmosphere.

Gu Xu's face immediately became solemn.

Because he knew that if he didn't solve this problem in time and allowed the Yin Qi to accumulate and spread, Wang Yang's divine soul would be completely devoured by the Yin Qi, and eventually lose his rationality and become a man-eating ghost.

"It seems that the path of cultivation in this world is much more dangerous than I imagined!" Gu Xu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

In the past, Chen Jisheng had emphasized in his ear countless times that the path of cultivation is life and death step by step, and if you are not careful, it will be an abyss.

Perhaps because Gu Xu has always sought stability in his work, coupled with his extraordinary cultivation qualifications, he has always felt that the crisis of life and death is very far away from him.

But now, when he saw his colleagues suffering from the erosion of yin qi, he deeply realized that the dangers on the path of cultivation were not alarmist, but would really happen around him.

"How's it going?" Cui Tianyou asked worriedly.

"It's okay, I can save it, I won't die." Gu Xu said expressionlessly.

Immediately, he took out the "Defilement Rune" from his pocket, pasted it on Wang Yang's head, and at the same time recited the "Purification Mantra" in his mouth:

"Taishang Haotian, comfort the body. The soul of the disciple, the five internal organs are ......"

As he recited the incantation, the black qi in Wang Yang's soul gradually dissipated, and it became transparent and clear again.

Say the mantra.

Wang Yang finally opened his eyes slowly.

At first, he looked a little dazed.

However, the moment he saw Gu Xu's face clearly, he suddenly sat up from the ground and shouted in surprise: "Brother Gu-no, Master Gu, why are you here?" ”

Gu Xu smiled: "Brother Wang Xian, isn't it very poetic to sleep in the open air in this autumn breezy courtyard?" ”

Hearing this, Wang Yang couldn't help but look up, only to find that night had fallen.

The stars and the moon are bright, and the bright river is in the sky.

There was a cold silence.

"Gu ...... Master Gu, listen to my explanation, this afternoon I will sit here and cultivate as usual. It's just that halfway through my cultivation, I suddenly lost consciousness for some reason and fainted......" Wang Yang stumbled and explained.

Gu Xu stretched out a finger and interrupted him.

"Did you not immediately stop cultivating after the medicinal effect of the 'Meditation Pill' was exhausted?"

Wang Yang was stunned for a moment, and then praised from the bottom of his heart: "Master Gu is really like a god!" ”

Gu Xu glanced at him coldly.

In his opinion, such a simple thing can be imagined by fools, and there is nothing to boast about at all.

However, he still calmly said to Wang Yang: "Brother Wang Xian, practicing this kind of thing is still stable, and you must not rush it."

"I saved you this time, but not next time. If you are really devoured by the Yin Qi and turn into a ghost, Lord Chen will kill you with a sword without mercy. ”

"Master Gu taught me a lesson!" Wang Yang smiled, and returned to his previous heartless appearance.

Seeing that Wang Yang was safe and sound, Gu Xu stood up and walked towards the warehouse.

He was still in a hurry to find the old man to get the elixir!

However, before he could go far, there was a heart-rending cry of "wow-" from Wang Yang behind him.

The silence of the night was broken again.

Gu Xu sighed, returned to Wang Yang's side, and sat down cross-legged on the ground.

"Still not feeling well?" He asked.

Wang Yang raised his head and looked at Gu Xu.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally choked up and said, "Brother Gu, you and Lord Shi are so powerful, you have such a high cultivation before you are twenty, and you have become an eighth-rank official...... Compared to you, I feel like a piece of shit...... I don't know how desperately I'm going to have to keep up with you......"

It turned out to be peer pressure......

Gu Xu looked at his painful expression and wanted to comfort him.

But he thought about it, and felt that no matter what he said at this time, he was suspected of Versailles.

So he gently patted Wang Yang's shoulder and continued to remain silent, quietly listening to what he had to say.

The cool breeze rises on the autumn night, and the air is turbid.
