Gu Xu had just learned the "Meteor Walking the Moon" body technique, and now it was still a little rusty to use, so he could only greatly speed up his movement, but for the time being, he could not be as unpredictable and difficult to find as Shangguan Jin.

But after all, it is the top high-grade body method of the Great Qi Dynasty.

Even if Gu Xu could only exert sixty percent of its power, it would be enough to disappear at the end of the street in an instant.

And Gu Xu's sudden disappearance like a phantom naturally fell into the eyes of some passers-by.

They all opened their eyes wide and let out a burst of exclamation.

Today, these passers-by have seen all kinds of wonderful skills of the artists in this Xunliu Street Washe.

Now, there are practitioners who have inadvertently shown their skills, revealing their extraordinary powers.

They just felt that it was an eye-opener and worthwhile.

"I really wish I could be a cultivator in my next life," a passing boy sighed in his heart carrying a heavy sack, "If there is such a speed, I will never be scolded by the shopkeeper for being late for delivery." ”

His companion smiled and said mockingly, "When you become a cultivator, you have to deliver and carry sacks, you guy is too unambitious!" If it were me, I would have gone to the Exorcism Division to eat and drink spicy food and become an official who everyone admires. ”

…………

At the same time, after Shi Xiaohan was stunned for a moment, he also quickly used his skills to try to keep up with Gu Xu's pace.

The body method she uses is the ancestral "Falling Flowers and Flying Flods" of the Shi family, which is a medium-grade martial arts-

Elegant like falling flowers, as light as catkins, is the artistic conception of this body.

However, even if Shi Xiaohan urged her true yuan with all her might, she was still left behind by Gu Xu.

The gap between high-grade martial arts and middle-grade martial arts is undoubtedly a barrier that is difficult to cross.

At this moment, she had to sincerely admire Gu Xu's amazing understanding.

Because in her impression, Gu Xu didn't know any body techniques - this obviously meant that the body techniques that Gu Xu was using now should have been learned by him in just a few days.

That's an amazing learning speed!

Shi Xiaohan used to learn new things very quickly, and was called "the little genius of the Shi family".

However, it took her more than a month to practice hard day after day under her father's teaching, before she completely mastered the "Falling Flowers and Flying Flotsam" method.

She felt that in front of Gu Xu, her talent could only be regarded as "mediocre", and she could not be used as her proud capital at all.

"With Gu Xu's outrageous talent, maybe after a while, he will leave me behind......" The thought popped into her mind inadvertently.

She thought that a few months ago, Gu Xu was just an inconspicuous little official in the yamen of the Yishui Exorcism Division - when she was doing tasks, she could only hide behind her and give her a hand.

But now, Gu Xu is not only about to catch up with her in cultivation, but also selected for the "Divine Machine Battalion", which has been recognized by the head of the department, and the future is bright.

This made Shi Xiaohan feel a little nervous while being happy for him.

She was afraid that Gu Xu would go too fast, and even if she tried her best in the future, she would not be able to catch up with him.

"You have to come on, future heroine," she clenched her fists and said to herself secretly in her heart, "In the future, when you cultivate, you must not desert!" ”

…………

In a blink of an eye.

Gu Xu arrived at the end of Xunliu Street and saw the incense case full of offerings, the young woman possessed by ghosts, and the panicked crowd around him.

He read through the classics, and naturally easily recognized the ghost possessed by the young woman in front of him—

It is transformed by a locust tree.

The locust tree is a ghost in the wood.

Its yin qi is extremely heavy, and it is easy to attract ghosts to possess it.

In Feng Shui, there is a saying that "there is a locust tree in front of the house, and a hundred ghosts walk at night", so it is very taboo to plant locust trees near the house.

And with the passage of time, those locust trees with a lifespan of hundreds of years will gradually give birth to spiritual wisdom under the nourishment of yin energy, and become fierce and human-feeding dryads.

"If you don't die, you won't die."

When Gu Xu saw the group of people in front of him who were holding the "Dancing God" ceremony, he complained silently in his heart.

The purpose of their ritual was obviously to summon the spirits of their ancestors.

But Gu Xu had read in books that the principle of the "Dancing God" ritual was like broadcasting to the ghosts, shouting loudly, "I'm here, come to me."

The souls of the ancestors may be far away, and they may not be able to hear their calls.

But nearby goblins can hear it, and can even follow their calls to locate them.

Just like this locust tree dryad.

Gu Xu preliminarily judged that this locust tree demon could descend here in the form of a wisp of soul splitting, and effortlessly occupy the human body, and its ontological strength must be extraordinary.

Probably a "ghost" level goblin.

According to the criteria defined by the Exorcism Division of the Great Qi Dynasty, "evil spirit" level ghosts usually possess the strength of cultivators from the third to fifth realms, as well as spiritual intelligence, and master a variety of spells.

With Gu Xu's current cultivation, it was almost impossible to compete head-on with the "evil spirit" level ghosts.

However, he could also see that this locust tree demon was also restricted to a certain extent.

Its body should not have been completely cultivated to perfection, and it should not be able to move at will.

can only use a wisp of split soul with the help of the "Jumping God" ritual to try to take away a human being.

"If you really want to go head-to-head with the 'evil spirit' level ghosts, then the reward for this task should be far more than three hundred merits," Gu Xu thought to himself, "It's just ...... I need to think of a way to defeat the youkai's soul while leaving as much life as possible for this woman who has the misfortune to become a carrier.

"Of course, we have to save this little boy first."

So, he made a quick decision, and Gu Xu used the technique of "Eclipse", relying on the powerful power of divine consciousness, to launch a fierce attack on the Dryad's split soul.

The dryad's movements came to a halt.

Its dense branches let go for a moment, and the little boy, who had been strangled to suffocation, fell to the ground with a thud - he gulped in the air, not believing that he would survive.

At this time, the group of people who held the "Dancing God" ceremony also noticed Gu Xu's arrival.

"It's the Lord of the Exorcism Division!"

When they saw the black "Qiyao Suit" on Gu Xu's body, they all invariably breathed a sigh of relief, and finally had a little sense of security in their hearts-

It was as if a traveler who was about to die of thirst in the desert suddenly found a source of water.

In the minds of these ordinary people, the monks of the Great Qi Exorcism Division are all heroes who master magical powers and subdue demons in the dark.

As long as there are monks from the Exorcist Division by their side, then all the ghosts and spirits are not to be feared.

At the same time, the locust tree demon also turned around and looked at Gu Xu, who suddenly appeared here.

"You want to beat me and leave this woman alive as well?" I only heard the dryad say coldly in a hoarse voice, "The current cultivators are really daydreaming!" ”

"Can you read my inner thoughts?" Gu Xu frowned slightly.

The dryad smiled, noncommittal.

And several old people next to him, including Bai Qingyu, were embarrassed when they heard this.

They finally understood why the goblin, while impersonating their ancestor, was able to effortlessly say their unknown names such as "dog" and "nannan".

It turned out that it had mastered such a spell as "mind reading".

"What a shame," thought the old man, looking down, "now that the unscrupulous children and grandchildren know our nickname." In this way, how can we maintain our image in front of them in the future? ”

At this moment, Shi Xiaohan finally arrived.

Seeing that Gu Xu was safe and sound, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

However, at this moment, the locust tree demon suddenly sneered again, and said to Gu Xu: "Your female companion seems to be very worried about your life!" ”
