Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 273 The Sixth Realm: Fengdu Gate

The sky is deep and the mountains are rolling.

Gu Xu's green shirt fluttered as he headed south.He seems to be walking calmly, without rushing or slowing down, but under the influence of body skills, every step he takes can advance a long distance.

According to his current speed, he should be able to reach his destination in less than a day.

But he still decided to follow Luo Chuan's advice, deliberately took some long detours, and tried to find some ghosts among the high mountains to sharpen his actual combat ability.

The city of Luojing under the protection of the "Dragon Formation" is like a cozy greenhouse.During this period of time, Gu Xu basically stayed in the room to study Taoism alone, or had some small fights with other monks, and rarely experienced life-and-death battles in the true sense.

Now, compared to when he first came to the capital, the strength of his true energy has increased significantly, and he has also learned many new Taoism.

But he is very clear that only through actual combat again and again can he fully adapt to these new changes and practice every move to the point where he is at his fingertips.

Under the guidance of divination, he found a hidden cave in the deep mountains.

There are verdant trees, surrounded by streams and beautiful scenery.The grass on the ground is as lush and soft as a blanket.Indistinctly, the woman's chuckle could be heard.

Gu Xu took out a copper coin from his pocket and tossed it lightly.

After confirming that the ghosts in the cave would not pose a threat to his life, he went straight to the entrance of the cave and saw several beautiful women in bright clothes standing together, laughing and playing, as if they didn't notice Gu Xu's arrival at all.

"Charm spell."

Gu Xu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at them.With his powerful spiritual power, he saw traces of mind control spells on them.

Then he went into the cave.

Three spacious stone halls are opened in the cave.There are beds on all four walls, and the beds are covered with brocade quilts.

A moment later, a handsome man with a beard in a white robe came out from the depths of the cave.

His left and right arms are each holding a beautiful woman, holding a jade wine cup in his hand, flirting with each other.

At this time, Gu Xu had already recognized that this white-robed man was actually transformed by a ghost named "White Ape".It will travel to villages hundreds of miles away in the middle of the night, seduce beautiful women, and raise them in caves as its own "harem".Every night, they would go to the stone beds, tease them, and do things that are not easy.After they are old and fading, they will swallow their souls.

It is recorded in the book:

"This physical power can kill people, but even a hundred soldiers can't control it."

"On a sunny day, dance with two swords, fly around your body with electricity, and the light is as round as the moon."

It means that the "White Ape" has such terrible power that even a hundred strong men with weapons cannot subdue it; and its weapons are a pair of swords, which seem to be surrounded by lightning when it dances Flying, the sword light is as round as the moon.

"Evil spirit class." Gu Xu stared at the man in white robe, and quickly judged its strength.

After seeing Gu Xu, the man in white robe also showed a look of surprise on his face, obviously he did not expect that Gu Xu would break into its cave.

He pushed away the gorgeous woman in his arms, and rushed towards Gu Xu.

At this moment, the handsome man in white robe disappeared and turned into a burly ape with white hair all over his body.

Gu Xu quickly moved away by virtue of the "Meteor Walking the Moon" movement technique.

In the next second, the white ape landed on Gu Xu's position just now.Its fist hit the ground heavily, making a loud noise, and made two deep pits on the hard rock.

The woman in the cave screamed in fright.

Seeing that Gu Xu was safe and sound, the white ape let out an angry roar.It waved its claws, and two sharp swords floated up from the stone table beside it, and flew to its side with a "swish", shining with a dazzling cold light.

Just the escaping sword energy left scratches on the stone wall of the cave.

"This perverted monkey can play swords quite smoothly." Gu Xu complained silently.

He stood still, cast the "Star Array" spell calmly, and summoned two stars from the distant sky in a language that only he himself could understand——

"Tianliang Star" and "Sun Star".

"Tianliang Star" is like a yang, turning Qi into shade, and Si Shoulu can ward off disasters and disasters, and turn bad luck into good luck.Its starlight poured down from the top of his head, forming a golden barrier around Gu Xu, blocking the sharp sword energy of the "White Ape".

"Sun Star" turns gas into noble, and is the god of light. The sun is pregnant with true fire, which is yang and strong, and burns all things.It is undoubtedly an excellent choice to use it to deal with ghosts with evil spirit attributes.

Under the white ape's several-inch-long white hair, dazzling golden flames shot up instantly.Soon the whole ape turned into a huge ball of fire.

With a "bang", the fireball exploded suddenly, golden sparks splashed in all directions, and the fiery air quickly swept the entire room.

A few seconds later, the white ape was reduced to ashes.

The women in the cave were all pale at this moment.They all looked dejected, their faces ashen.Some even collapsed to the ground on the spot, weeping.

Because after the death of the white ape, its charm spell was also lifted.

They finally realized what had happened in the recent incident, and their hearts filled with despair that life would be better than death.

"The ghost is dead," Gu Xu comforted them with a gentle smile on his face, "You are safe now."

But these women are still in a trance.

Some of them saw Gu Xu's handsome face, and couldn't help but take a few steps back, suspecting that he was also a demon who mastered the art of charm, otherwise how could he have such an outstanding appearance.

Gu Xu sighed lightly.He knew that this experience was too terrifying for these women who were forcibly taken from villages hundreds of miles away.The wounds in their hearts cannot be healed in a short while.

It's just that his time is precious, and he can't stay here for too long.

So he took out the "Shenji Token" and sent a message to Shangguan Jin, briefly describing the situation here.As a fourth-level cultivator who mastered the sword-flying technique, and she has been working for Chief Luo for a long time, she must be able to rush here quickly and handle the follow-up matters properly.

Soon, Shangguan Jin's reply appeared in his vision:

[Linghu: Fellow Daoist Gu, it seems that you only remember to contact me when you need my help.If I remember correctly, this is the second time you've taken the initiative to summon me? 】

Gu Xu was silent and did not respond.

But Shangguan Jin immediately sent another message:

[Linghu: But don't worry.I will definitely handle what you have told me. 】

…………

After finishing off the white ape, Gu Xu continued to move between the mountains.

Soon, following the direction guided by divination, he found a dilapidated temple on the hillside.Weeds are overgrown here, cobwebs are woven, and the incense burner is dumped. It looks desolate.

The temple was silent.

But after Gu Xu crossed the threshold, he saw a fat, dark, unremarkable woman walking towards him, her clothes looked rather dissolute.

Wherever he went, the woman followed him.

Gu Xu recognized at a glance that this woman was a kind of ghost called "temple ghost", which was transformed from the clay monster statue in the temple.People who are haunted by temple ghosts will become insane and fall into a state of madness.

If you want to subdue it and let it show its original shape, you need to wrap its neck with a chain made of metal with the attribute of the sun.

Gu Xu's body does not carry the metal of Yanyang attribute.

But he can use talismans as a substitute.

So, while the fat black woman dangled in front of him, he tore off a page from the booklet he carried with him, and quickly drew a complicated rune on it with a charcoal pencil.

Then the talisman turned into a crimson iron hoop, which was put around the neck of the fat black woman.

Immediately, the woman turned into a monster covered in pitch black, eyes like lightning, and a mouth full of blood. She rushed towards Gu Xu and roared angrily.

Gu Xu unhurriedly used his body skills, his figure disappeared in place, and then appeared behind the black monster.

Immediately afterwards, raging flames centered on him and spread around in a ring.

The ferocious "temple ghost" was quickly engulfed in flames.

After the flames dissipated, the ground was covered with dust—it was hard to tell whether it was the original dust in the ruined temple or the ashes left after the death of the "temple ghost".

This "temple ghost" was originally a "wild ghost" level ghost.

Using the "Seven Burning Styles" to deal with it is actually somewhat overkill.

However, Gu Xu's trip to slay demons and demons all the way was mainly to hone his fighting skills, so he deliberately did not use the simple and crude method of "Taishang Beiji Town Demon Killing Talisman", which he was too familiar with. It is to try to use some newly learned moves that are not very proficient.

…………

Another half an hour later, Gu Xu came to a dark forest under the guidance of divination.

In the woods a young man dressed in feathers was sitting under a tall elm tree.

Gu Xu knew that this man was actually a ghost named "The Man in Feather Clothes".

According to the records in "Da Qi Wei Zhi Zhi", there once was a farmer named Ren Gu who rested by the field because he was tired from work.Suddenly, a man in a feather robe came over and raped him, and then disappeared without a trace.A few days later, Ren Gu found out that she was pregnant.

The full moon of pregnancy was about to give birth, and the man in feather clothes came again. He pierced Ren Gu's body with a knife, took out a small snake, and left.Since then, Ren Gu has become a barren eunuch.He went to the palace to explain the relevant situation, and was left in the palace as an eunuch.

This story sounds a bit bizarre.

But at this moment, this "man in feather clothes" who can make a man pregnant, actually appeared in front of Gu Xu.

Gu Xu cast the "Star Array" without hesitation, summoned the shining golden "Sun Star" again, and then slammed it hard at the "Man in Feather Clothes" like throwing a ball.

Before the "Man in Feather Clothes" had time to see Gu Xu's face clearly, he completely evaporated from the world.

Gu Xu didn't stay here for a moment.

After divination, he quickly moved towards the location of the next ghost.

At the same time, he thought silently: Today I first rescued the commoner woman who was trapped in the ghost lair, and then helped the majority of male compatriots in the Daqi Dynasty solve a major disaster—this should be Shi Xiaohan, that girl who hangs all day long. "Walking justice for the sky" and "benefiting the people" are on the lips.

…………

Just like that, Gu Xu slayed demons while crossing mountains and ridges.

After killing the "Man in Feather Clothes", he encountered ghosts such as "Wu Shang", "Giant Hand", "Li's Wolf", and "Ghost".Most of them are at the level of "wild ghosts", and a few are at the level of "evil spirits".

Basically, he can solve it with one move.

At the same time, his mastery of various spells and moves became more and more proficient, and the true essence in the meridians became more and more pure with each use.

When the sun was gradually setting, the Dagu Pass with ravines and peaks finally appeared at the end of his vision.

Gu Xu stopped, and with a thought, he took out the map given to him by Luo Sishou from "Xianyunju", and planned to find the location of the entrance to the lava field river according to the marks on the map.

However, at this moment, Gu Xu suddenly sensed a dangerous aura, relying on his spiritual perception far beyond ordinary people.

He was suddenly alert, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.

Without even thinking about it, he directly cast "Time" and "Meteor Walking Moon" at the same time.

The pupil of his left eye turned deep indigo blue again, faintly shining with the luster of stars.

The whole world stands still.

The birds hovered in the air, and the sound of the wind quietly stopped.

In the short period of ten breaths that "Time" lasted, he shuttled to a location thirty miles away at the most extreme speed of "Meteor Walking the Moon".

In order to prevent people from counting his position, his escape route was almost random without deliberate thought.

But in the next second, ripples appeared in the air around him, like ripples on a calm lake.

Three people in black clothes and black cloth masks appeared out of thin air.

They stood in front of Gu Xu, left rear and right rear respectively, surrounding Gu Xu in the middle.

Gu Xu frowned slightly.

He didn't expect that these people would not hesitate to use the extremely precious magic weapon "Empty Breaking Orb" in order to catch up with him.

And these men in black didn't say any nonsense, they attacked him without hesitation.

The two people on the left and right summoned their own natal swords out of thin air, and drove them towards Gu Xu's throat with their thoughts.

Behind the leader, there was a phantom several feet high.This phantom exuded a terrifying coercion, which made Gu Xu feel as if he was carrying a heavy burden, making it difficult to move.

"It turned out to be a 'Faxiang'!" Gu Xu was deeply surprised, "This person is actually a sixth-level monk!"

He knew that the sixth realm of practice is called "Fengdumen".

After turning over "Sixiang Ridge", "Wangxiang Terrace" and "Meng Po Pavilion", monks will use their own understanding of "Tao" to knock on the gate of Fengdu - the "Tao" at this time can come from others, It can also originate from itself.

However, if someone else's "Tao" is used to open the "Fengdu Gate", there is a high probability that they will be stagnant in the sixth realm for life, and will be reduced to all living beings in Fengdu City, and will never find the place of "Yan Luodian".

After knocking on the "Fengdu Gate", the monks' comprehension of the "Tao" will be presented in the form of "Dharma".

There are also various types of "faxiang".

It can be mountains, rivers and seas, birds, beasts, insects and fish, stars in the sky, or some god who serves God.

The appearance of the "man in black" in front of him is a god with three heads and six arms, holding bows, arrows, swords and other weapons, wearing a golden helmet and armor, and looks fierce.

Gu Xu knew that this was "True Lord Huode", a high-status immortal who served beside the "Taishang Haotian Jade Emperor", and was called "True Lord of Five Qi" along with Zhenjun Mude and Taibai Jinxing. ".

Usually, for monks who use gods as their dharma, the higher the status and authority of the gods, the stronger the corresponding dharma.

The man in black takes "Huode Xingjun" as his Dharma appearance, so he must have profound morals and strong strength.

With Gu Xu's current strength, even if all means are exhausted, it is impossible to defeat him head-on.
