[Cultivation] Asking for a sword

In this day-to-day practice, two years have passed.

This time is Gu Cheng's third compulsory mission since he entered Zhengyangzong. Unexpectedly, he is now a weak crown in a short time. This mission is also a real test of his progress in the past two years.

It is clearly stated in the task book that this time it is to go to Jinzhou of Yong Kingdom. It is said that traces of evil disciples appeared there, and then they were reported to Zhengyangzong, hoping to send monks to solve the problem.

Zhengyangzong, as the overlord of this area, naturally would not tolerate anyone daring to offend casually, so he immediately released it as a mandatory task.

Gu Cheng thought to himself while looking at the information on it.

There is a big difference between evil monks and demon cultivators. Demon cultivators practice demonic skills. Although most of them have bad personalities, they are still much better than evil cultivators.

The evil people are different. Most of the sorcery they practice is extremely cruel. They slaughter mortals, collect resentful spirits, and even use some babies to refine medicines. These are prohibited by most sects, but For the cultivators of the evil way, there is no taboo, as long as they can practice sorcery, they don't care about the life and death of ordinary people.

Although in the eyes of the entire comprehension world, mortals are just ants, but which monks didn't grow up from ants and slaughtered too many at one time, how could they recruit disciples in the future.

Therefore, under such circumstances, all sects issued arrest warrants for the cultivators, requiring all disciples to kill them if they encountered them.

This incident in Jinzhou is said to be the emergence of an evil cultivator in the Qi training period, who slaughtered more than 500 people in seven villages and collected their souls.

Zhengyangzong is within the territory of Yong State, and although Jinzhou is a bit far away, it is not far away. Gu Cheng considered that it would take a lot of time this time, so he bought several horses on the road to use for the journey.

In this way, it was already half a month after arriving in Jinzhou.

As soon as he walked into the city, Gu Cheng felt something strange. Looking up, the city was very depressed, many shops had been closed, and there were very few people walking on the road, with mournful expressions on their faces.

Gu Cheng frowned, then rushed to the Jinzhou government without any hesitation.

He didn't go in directly through the main entrance, but sneaked into the backyard directly, preparing to find out some news. As far as he knows, there have been evil monks who secretly controlled the people in the government before, and the monks who came here suffered a lot. things happen.

But the scene in the backyard at this time made Gu Cheng dumbfounded.

There was a long red table in the yard, on which sacrifices were neatly arranged, and two monks in Taoist robes danced up in the open space in front of the table, chanting words, and they didn't know what they were talking about.

On the other side, a middle-aged man wearing a fifth-rank official uniform led a group of yamen servants to watch, some looked expectant, some looked suspicious, and some looked disdainful.

Gu Cheng sensed the cultivation of the two Taoist priests, well, they are all mortals without aura, so his expression is a little weird, because Zhengyangzong is in the territory of Yong Kingdom, so the people of Yong Kingdom treat each other with respect. They believe in things about immortals, ghosts and gods, and many people also know that there is a cultivation world in this world, which is filled with all kinds of powerful monks who can fly to the sky and escape from the earth, but it is limited to this.

These mortals' concept of monks is too vague, most of them are based on guesswork, and monks rarely show up in front of mortals, so there are all kinds of rumors. Dare to say that he is a monk, but under the guise of having met a cultivator and received enlightenment to cheat food and drink.

Most of the liars were quickly spotted because they had no skills, but there were also some who got some things in the cultivation world by chance, so they were regarded as immortal masters.

However, according to Gu Cheng's knowledge, the national teacher of the Yong Kingdom is a foundation-building monk of the Zhengyang Sect, so the imperial court is quite clear about the cultivation world.

In this way, the appearance of these two obviously uncultivated mortals is a bit strange.

However, Gu Cheng soon sensed an unusual aura from them, and he became concerned in his heart, so he simply showed up and fell from the sky with ease by virtue of the wind travel technique.

Looking at the panicked crowd, Gu Cheng took out his identity token and handed it to the official to watch. The disciple tokens of Zhengyangzong had been greeted in the court, and no one would not recognize them, so almost immediately the official He knelt down on the ground and called Immortal Master directly.

Gu Cheng shook his head: "I am Gu Cheng, a disciple of Zhengyang Sect. Please explain what happened in recent days."

The official said without much hesitation: "Yes, Gu Xianshi, please take a seat first, and besides" he turned his head to look at the two human beings in Taoist robes.

"These two are also masters I invited from other places, they are Huang Xianshi and Hong Xianshi."

Gu Cheng snorted, and looked over with a half-smile.

The faces of those two people turned pale, and they bowed hastily and said: "How dare we show our shame in front of Your Excellency with our rudimentary skills, we will take our leave first."

The official frowned and said, "Both of you are masters who have practiced immortal arts? I still have to rely on you two, not to mention that the gold hundred taels have already been sent to your house. I'm afraid this illegal agreement will not work?"

The two sighed, and said helplessly: "We can barely deal with some ordinary evil spirits only by relying on a treasure. I didn't expect that there would be monks from the Zhengyang Sect, which means that there must be extremely powerful figures here. , with our little ability, if we don’t withdraw early, we will probably lose our lives, Mr. Feng, we will return double the reward you sent us.”

The official surnamed Feng didn't say much when he saw this, and let them leave with a cold face.

Then he turned around and looked at Gu Cheng enthusiastically; "Master Gu, let's go in and talk."

Gu Cheng looked at those two people, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.

There is not much to say about the next thing. The depression in Jinzhou is indeed due to that evil monk. Gu Cheng waited while drinking tea. He put a mark on the two people who left just now. Fluctuation is not considered hidden, but he was just a guess at first, and if he succeeds, he has caught a big fish.

Indeed, he had doubts about these two people. If they were monks, then knowing the news about Zhengyangzong was nothing, but it was really suspicious that two mere mortals were so trembling and wanted to leave immediately.

Sure enough, after a while, he felt his mark being forcibly erased.

Gu Cheng immediately set off and ran to the west.

On the other side, a man whose whole body was completely wrapped in black cloth roared in an unusually hoarse voice: "You two trash, you have been left with a mark, I'm probably exposed here, but, hehe Hmph, I also want to see what kind of strength the disciples of Zhengyangzong, the top sect, have?"

"As for the two of you, since it's useless, go to hell with me!"

Huang Li and Hong Wujin's faces suddenly showed panic, and they wanted to run out, but it didn't work.

The man waved the black flag in his hand, and immediately black air continued to emerge, swallowing the two of them instantly, and finally there was nothing left except for two sets of clothes.

Han Qiu looked at the distorted and hideous grimaces looming in the black mist with satisfaction, and sneered, "My thousand ghost banners have been refined, and this time I will use you to test the power."

Gu Cheng had already arrived in less than half an hour, looking at the gloomy mountain in front of him, feeling the lingering yin energy inside, he suddenly became hesitant.

He took out the Qingling Sword. In fact, Chu Han had given him a better top-level spiritual weapon, the Green Brilliant Sword, but unfortunately, his strength could not play the role of that top-level spiritual weapon at all, and it was not as smooth as the Qingling Sword.

In the face of such evil things, Gu Cheng knew that his lightning-type kung fu would definitely be able to take advantage of it, so he started with a thunderbolt spell, which is one of the few spells that he can use currently recorded in the thunder god formula. One, it is a large-scale attack spell, and the effect is very good.

Sure enough, after a while, there was a black air attacking him directly, Gu Cheng snorted coldly, and the Qing Ling sword turned, and the black air was scattered, and then a black giant hand suddenly protruded and attacked at him in an instant. His face.

Gu Cheng retreated sharply, dodging the attack, and struck out with his sword backwards. With his left hand, he made a tactic, and a lightning spell fell quickly.

The black turned into a man in black, and he looked at Gu Cheng with an unkind expression.

"Body of Yuan Lei, I underestimated you!"

Gu Cheng was a little surprised, the other party seemed to have misidentified him with a certain physique, but it might be because his own cultivation skills are indeed precious and rare.

He didn't explain it, and simply increased the output of spiritual power, constantly recruiting golden thunders, and the threat of thunder spells to him was obviously great.

Now his foundation is solid, and his spiritual strength is comparable to that of the general eighth level of Qi training. Coupled with his strong spiritual consciousness and physical strength, his actual combat effectiveness is not lower than the general tenth level of Qi training.

Although the man on the opposite side is at the [-]th level of Qi training, in fact, his cultivation level was forcibly raised by evil methods, which is not much different from Gu Cheng's previous use of pills, plus the innate suppression of thunder spells , the man did not dare to fight him recklessly.

Gu Cheng originally planned to test his own strength, so he simply used all the techniques and tricks he had learned, and he felt a sense of mastery.

Seeing that he was actually at a disadvantage, Han Qiu was also a little impatient. He originally thought that he wanted to use the Thousand Ghost Banner that he had just refined, but he was concerned that the other party was a cultivator of the Thunder system. If he made a move, he would definitely suffer heavy losses afterwards. time to refill.

But now seeing that he is being forcibly suppressed, Gu Cheng seems to have entered a state of epiphany again. If he doesn't hesitate a lot, he may be killed.

Han Qiu narrowly dodged a sword, stepped back, spread his right hand, and an extremely black flag spun rapidly above his palm, with a ghostly aura.

He bit his fingertips, forced out a few drops of blood, quietly submerged into the black air, and then yelled violently.

"go with!"

Gu Cheng looked at the banner, then at the scary faces in the ensuing black air, he was startled.

It turned out to be a thousand ghost banners. Legend has it that the evil energy refined with the souls and blood essence of 1000 people is extremely powerful. It is a sorcery banned by various sects. He did not expect to see it here. Although the ghost banner has stored the souls of thousands of people, they are basically mortals. If they are all monks, even if they are only in the Qi training period, then this ghost banner can almost be compared with ordinary magic weapons, and now it can only be regarded as a top-level spiritual weapon .

But even so, it is definitely not easy to deal with. Because this thing is too bloody, it will damage the number of days, so if the caster is not careful, it is also easy to backfire, and it can also pollute the monk's spiritual power and spiritual weapon.

Gu Cheng didn't dare to use the sword to slash back directly, but picked up the formula and summoned the most powerful thunder technique he had mastered.

In an instant, a bolt of lightning as thick as an ordinary man's arm fell, completely crushing the black air. The man let out a muffled grunt and spit out a mouthful of blood. Obviously, he was seriously injured.

Gu Cheng immediately took advantage of the victory to pursue the attack. Although he was exhausted, but the opportunity was rare, he forced his shot.

Startled, Han Qiu immediately put away the ghost banner, and then threw down more than ten talismans, trying to escape.

Gu Cheng knocked out more than a dozen fireballs and ice bullets with one sword, then swallowed a spirit pill, and immediately chased after it.
