Chapter 5 The causal light sphere
Zhou Xuan's complexion changed slightly.
The twisted shadow gave him an extremely strong sense of oppression. Taking advantage of the seal-written wooden stick that briefly restricted the movements of the latter and the shadow, he turned around and ran away.
Until he boarded the flying boat, his heart was filled with huge doubts, who was that woman?
If he hadn't paid attention to Nie Xiaohong's causal light ball and luckily knew the latter's appearance, he would have fallen into the trap of that strange woman!
Even now, he is still a little scared, and he still has some luck in his heart.
You know, whether it's the hard feeling when the bronze mirror hits its head...
It was still the same blocking feeling as if the seal stick was inserted into its shoulder...
As well as its smelly blood and twisted black shadow...
All kinds of extraordinary physical sensations indicate something strange and ominous. If it hadn’t been for the blessing of eleven years of Taoism, Zhou Xuan might have been in trouble even if he noticed the strangeness!
The cold breath turned into dense white mist. It came out from the cracks in the ground at the street corner of Baitao Town, under the tiles, paper lanterns without candlelight... and rushed towards Feizhou like a tide. Commander Zhao's expression changed drastically.
Not caring about counting the number of people, he directly drove the flying boat into the sky in panic.
Behind the flying boat, the entire Baitao Town seemed to turn into a pale human face. The interlaced streets and archways seemed like a pair of squinted eyes. The white silk hanging under the peach tree collapsed straight in the wind, and looked more like a crack to the root of the ear.
A row of fangs exposed in the mouth.
"Hey Hey……"
In Baitao Town, the gloomy and frightening laughter of a hundred ghosts walking through the night could be heard faintly.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. We are already in the air. No matter how weird and terrifying it is, can we catch up with you?!" Commander Zhao forced a look of calmness on his bloodless face.
Before he finished speaking, the flying boat shook violently, as if its lifeline was being strangled by a big transparent hand. No matter how Commander Zhao controlled it, it could not fly higher.
Zhou Xuan glanced at Commander Zhao resentfully and cursed in his heart: "Brother, I have never seen you set a flag like this in my two lives!"
Then he suddenly thought of something, flipped his wrist, and the Evil-Breaking Talisman fell from his Dantian into his palm.
While everyone was in panic and had no time to pay attention, Zhou Xuan flicked his finger, and the Evil-Breaking Talisman quietly shot out of the flying boat, then unfolded in the air and slowly fell towards Baitao Town...
After three breaths, the invisible force holding the flying boat suddenly dissipated. Commander Zhao mustered up his strength and drove the flying boat in a hurry.
It wasn't until Baitao Town disappeared on the horizon that all the demon appraisers took a long breath, and their tense bodies softened, and they leaned against the wall.
Zhou Xuanyao glanced at Baitao Town and frowned tightly...
If no causal light group appears, does that mean that the Evil-Breaking Talisman only serves to contain it?
So what is it that turns the entire Baitao Town into something ominous and strange?
The flying boat shuttled over the clouds, and under the moonlight, the faces of every demon appraiser were filled with a look of joy at having survived the disaster.
Commander Zhao secretly put away the paper on which he had written several paragraphs of last words, then cleared his throat and said: "All of the Ground A team! Report the numbers!"
"one!"
"two!"
…
"thirty-nine!"
After thirty-nine, there was no more sound.
Commander Zhao's face suddenly looked haggard. He had always been angrily scolding his subordinates for failing to live up to their expectations, and his eyes were filled with sadness.
There are a total of sixty people in the Dijia team, all of whom are elites who have climbed up step by step from the Huangding team. After this battle, more than one-third was lost. In the small team that went to the government office to detect ghosts, no one survived.
!
Commander Liu also counted the number of people. Huang Ding's team's losses were slightly less, but it was still sad.
This depressing atmosphere filled the airship.
Although there are very high occupational risks for the demon inspectors themselves, it is almost impossible to lose the attendance of nearly thirty people at one time.
What’s even more terrifying is that no one even knows how their colleagues died!
It was also at a certain moment that Commander Zhao saw that the bronze mirrors in the hands of his colleagues who were scattered far and wide were all emitting warning golden lights at the same moment. Then he felt something was wrong and ordered the retreat.
But even if it did, the casualties would be extremely heavy.
Zhou Xuan clenched his fists, "The dangers in this world are much more terrifying than imagined... If it weren't for the evil-breaking talisman this time, I should have died..."
"With eleven years of practice, it's okay to kill Ah Fu. But when you go to such a weird place, you can't even protect yourself!"
"Go! You must go!"
"Before you start practicing Taoism, you must try your best to avoid the task of detecting ghosts!"
…
Returning to the Demon Appraisal Division, Zhou Xuan went back to his room and fell asleep with his head covered. In his dream, he seemed to see a rickety man covered in skulls, holding a strange black flag wrapped around a miserable green air current, and emerged from Baitao Town.
Walked by.
Both sides of the street were hung with white silk threads, which rustled in the wind as the weirdos moved around.
He woke up with a start.
"This dream... is so real!" A layer of sweat appeared on his back, but his energy and energy recovered well. "I heard that if a magician is often exposed to monsters and ghosts, he will be haunted by evil spirits, and eventually lose his mind and fall into madness...
…I, am not also possessed by a demon, right?”
He pulled open his clothes and saw that the evil-proof charm was dim.
As expected, after practicing for a while, he hurriedly walked towards the Demon Refining Department.
On the way, I heard people discussing something in twos and threes.
"I heard that something bad happened in Baitao Town yesterday. Less than half of the Dijia and Huangding teams who went to detect demons died!"
"How could this happen? Didn't Commander Zhao of the Dijia Team receive a gift from an immortal master and practice a body-refining treasure technique? Even he couldn't cure the ghost?"
"Don't mention it, the Body Refining Art is not a quick fix. Commander Zhao has only practiced it for half a month. How effective can it be? Besides, ghosts and evil things cannot be cured by a strong body."
"Alas, Commander Zhao and Commander Liu have taken all the responsibilities and have taken the initiative to accept the punishment."
"But that's obviously Master Lingxian's failure in slaying demons..."
"Hey! Silence! Master Immortal, do you dare to arrange it?"
"Actually... Master Lingxian is not from our Nanyunzhou branch. It is said that he did it casually while passing by. I probably didn't expect that the ghost is still lingering..."
"After all, even the Three-Coin Celestial Master..."
Zhou Xuan didn't stay too long. After waiting for a while and seeing his colleagues move the topic, he went to the Demon Refining Department to register and received a new seal-script wooden stick and an evil talisman.
In the next few days, Team Huang Ding recruited some new members, and the task of identifying demons continued as usual.
Three days later in the morning, Zhou Xuan, who had just finished practicing Purple Qi from the East, suddenly felt the Six Paths Treasure Mirror moving slightly, and immediately followed the feeling and looked in the direction of the Demon Slayer Division from a distance.
There are various departments under the Tianshi Mansion, and the Demon Slayer Division has the highest status, and all its personnel are Tianshi.
Looking at it, Zhou Xuan's eyes immediately became serious, and he saw countless light spots floating up from the Demon Slayer Department, converging into a causal light ball in mid-air that was more than ten feet in size.
"this……?"
He was immediately stunned. There was actually cause and effect in the Tianshi Mansion waiting for the Six Paths Treasure Mirror to be sorted out?
His heart immediately became agitated. The size of this causal light ball was larger than what he had accumulated in half a month. The reward must be very generous!
It's just that...the Demon Slaying Department is an important part of the Tianshi Mansion. Although it is the same department as the Demon Appraisal Department, their status is very different. Moreover, it is located in the center of the Demon Suppressing City.
That place was inaccessible even to the commander of the Demon Appraisal Department except under special circumstances, let alone a small demon appraiser like him?
But the reward is right in front of you...
"Oh... Ren! Just pretend you didn't see it!" Zhou Xuan's heart was bleeding, and the Six Paths Treasure Mirror in his dantian was trembling and buzzing.
At this moment, a flying boat suddenly landed.
Chapter completed!
