Chapter 126: When Heroes Become Monsters (First More Subscription!) )
"Devoured by the Evil Spirit, Turned into a Monster ......"
Chen Jisheng's words made Gu Xu's face become solemn.
Since Gu Xu became a cultivator, Chen Jisheng has often repeatedly emphasized in his ear: The path of cultivation is nine deaths and one life, and if you are not careful, it will be an abyss.
Gu Xu knew that this was by no means alarmist.
Because he had seen it with his own eyes, Wang Yang, the little official of the Demon Exorcism Division, went mad and fell into a coma during the cultivation process.
At that time, if Gu Xu hadn't rushed to his side in time and used the "Defilement Rune" to help him dissolve the evil qi, I am afraid that they would have been separated forever.
It is precisely because of the danger of the cultivation path that Chen Jisheng will also carry all kinds of pills on his body to deal with such emergencies.
"The Great Qi Exorcism Division basically needs to deal with many cases of monks who have gone mad and turned into ghosts every year, and these monks are likely to be our companions.
"When this kind of thing happens, even if the person who turns into a monster is me, or your best friend, I hope that you can act decisively for the sake of the lives and safety of the people of Daqi, and don't care about the old feelings.
"Because, once a monk becomes a monster, he will completely lose his rationality and become indistinguishable between friend and foe...... When that time comes, they will become our natural enemies......"
A passage that Chen Jisheng said three months ago echoed in Gu Xu's mind again.
At that time, Chen Jisheng's attitude was very strict, asking his subordinates to keep this passage firmly in their hearts - not to memorize it to the extent that the melons were ripe, and they were not allowed to go to the public kitchen for lunch.
And today, it is the first time Gu Xu has encountered such a case.
He took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm.
"Lord Chen, who is the monk who went mad this time? Where does he live? He narrowed his eyes slightly and asked Chen Jisheng in a deep voice.
"It's Pan Xiaopeng. He lives at No. 34 Wenlin Street in the southwest region of Yishui County," Chen Jisheng replied lightly, "Fortunately, according to the latest news, there are no casualties for the time being." ”
Speaking of this, Chen Jisheng raised his voice slightly, and instructed Gu Xu and Shi Xiaohan: "Let's go!" I'm afraid it's too late. ”
With that, he waved his hand and summoned his sword out of thin air—"Worthy of Shame."
Then, he stepped on the flying sword and rode away against the wind.
Hearing Chen Jisheng's words, Gu Xu and Shi Xiaohan did not hesitate, and used their skills to walk through the streets and alleys, and rushed towards the southwest.
Gu Xu, who mastered the footwork of "Meteor Walking the Moon", ran in front, and Shi Xiaohan followed behind him.
And behind Shi Xiaohan, there was also a short and dark-skinned teenager.
It was Gu Xu's number one admirer in the Exorcism Division - Wang Yang.
Unlike cultivation geniuses like Gu Xu and Shi Xiaohan, Wang Yang was just an ordinary First Realm cultivator, and he did not master such subtle body techniques as "Meteor Walking to the Moon" and "Falling Flowers and Flying Flods".
Even if he ran as hard as he could, panting and his legs aching, he was still far behind by the two men.
But even so, Wang Yang still tried his best to run in the direction of Wenlin Street.
For Gu Xu, Pan Xiaopeng, who went crazy, was just an ordinary colleague in the yamen who nodded his head.
But for Wang Yang, Pan Xiaopeng is his best friend.
The news that Pan Xiaopeng had become a ghost was a bolt from the blue for Wang Yang - he couldn't believe it was true.
So he wanted to go and see it for himself.
…………
A moment later, Gu Xu arrived at No. 34 Wenlin Street, only less than a minute behind Chen Jisheng, who was flying with Edgeworth.
This is a small courtyard house, and the area is not much different from Gu Xu's house.
With his powerful divine sense, Gu Xu sensed that there was a strong evil aura in the surrounding environment—even more intense than when Wang Yang fell into a coma.
Bang bang bang!
Inside the locked gate of the small courtyard, there were bursts of violent crashing sounds; In addition to this, there is a creepy howl.
The voice was rough and poignant, shaking through the sky, like thunder.
The people living nearby were undoubtedly frightened.
They walked out of their homes in a panic and gathered in the streets, seeking security from each other.
Today the sky was overcast with dark clouds in the sky.
Hearing this kind of ghost crying wolf howl in this weather, the people almost had the illusion of being in the underworld.
At this moment, when Gu Xu, Chen Jisheng and Shi Xiaohan behind them appeared in front of them wearing "Qiyao Clothes", their eyes all lit up, as if they saw a life-saving straw.
"Look, the Lord of the Exorcism Division is here!"
"My lord, there are terrible evil spirits in this house!"
"Your Excellency, please help us!"
"My lord, please let the ghosts in this house be destroyed! I have old and young people in my family, but I don't dare to be neighbors with ghosts! ”
“……”
When he heard the pleading voices of the people, Gu Xu's mood was complicated.
Because he knew that the "terrible evil spirit" in the mouths of the people was a respected exorcism official a few minutes ago, a hero who slayed demons and eliminated evil for the people.
It's just because he made a mistake in the process of cultivation, and he accidentally became a monster that was feared and hated by others.
"Lord Chen......" Gu Xu reached out and grabbed the "Ghost Killing Talisman" in his pocket, looked up at Chen Jisheng beside him, and waited for Chen Jisheng's instructions.
"Follow me!" Chen Jisheng's face did not have any expression.
He waved the "Worthy Sword", split open the gate of the small courtyard without hesitation, and took the lead and walked in.
Gu Xu and Shi Xiaohan followed.
In this small courtyard, they could see the appearance of the ghosts clearly—
It was eight feet long, with loose hair, a pale complexion, and red eyes.
But its appearance and clothes are exactly the same as Pan Xiaopeng in Gu Xu's memory.
I saw it wail and hit the wall repeatedly with its head, blood dripping from the top of its head, and it looked very painful.
Seeing such a scene, Gu Xu knew that Pan Xiaopeng was completely hopeless.
At this time, Wang Yang finally arrived here.
When he stood outside the door and saw his friend become this hideous and terrifying appearance, he suddenly felt that his mind went blank and almost fainted on the spot.
"Master Chen, let me help him get free!" Gu Xu sighed lightly, ready to take out the "Ghost Killing Talisman" and throw it towards Pan Xiaopeng.
But Chen Jisheng suddenly grabbed his hand and stopped him.
"Let me do it!" Chen Jisheng said expressionlessly.
In Chen Jisheng's opinion, Gu Xu is still young.
He brought Gu Xu here today in the hope that Gu Xu could take Pan Xiaopeng as a lesson from the past, be cautious on the road of cultivation in the future, and never be impatient and rash.
As for killing a colleague with his own hands, it shouldn't be borne by Gu Xu.
Let yourself be an old man to bear this sin!
