Yefutidaolu

Chapter 42 Attack
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the old turtle chose to retreat.

Gao Jian kept staring at something on the old turtle's shell. You could tell at a glance that he was memorizing something. It seemed like he was trying to remember the old turtle's appearance.

The old turtle naturally also stared at Gao Jian and remembered him firmly.

Of course he could take action and kill Gao Jian, but he didn't have the courage.

He really didn't have the courage to read the yellow paper and the Shangshu's seal. Even after being challenged by that Yijing man several times, he didn't dare to say a single harsh word.

But... this doesn't mean he has no solution.

Let the officials in Cangzhou deal with Gao Jian themselves.

When their family is unable to make ends meet, when they have no money to maintain their magic weapons, when their elixirs cannot be mass-produced, when their spirit beasts cannot afford to eat the spirit materials, and when their descendants are crying out that they have no money, they will help Turtle Prime Minister to get revenge.

They don't have to do anything. As long as they let Gao Jian go, Gao Jian will naturally die at the hands of the nameless demon.

After the old turtle retreated, everyone's attention was still focused on Gao Jian.

"Great idea, isn't it? I'm the prefect of Cangzhou. What abilities do you have that deserve the appreciation of the Shangshu?" The person in the front, who was about sixteen years old and had a face as beautiful as jade, took the initiative to ask.

"In one battle, kill seven hundred headless ghosts." Gao Jian did not hide anything and spoke directly.

"puff--!"

"Ok?"

"Oh..."

The gentlemen nearby, including passers-by who were attracted by the noise, instantly stared at Gao Jian in front of them.

Nothing else, this is just sensational.

The cultivation method of ghosts like the headless ghost is different from that of living creatures. They don’t have acupoints, but they are at least at the first level, and occasionally they will even reach the second level.

Generally speaking, among the seven hundred headless ghosts, there must be at least a few special individuals in the second realm.

But there is only one realm of high insight.

He said he could kill seven hundred headless ghosts?
"If you are caught lying, you will die." At this time, the man with changed appearance and weird hair stared at Gao Jian with some unfriendly look.

"What he said is true." At this time, the official with many gods and figures standing behind him came out and said lightly: "Gao Jian, it appeared in Ningtai County, west of Cangzhou, and it had no place of origin before."

"He killed one evil ghost of the second realm that was formed by the aggregation of flesh and blood, and joined hands with Bai Ping, a disciple of Zhenjing Taoist Palace. With the help of the other party's talismans, he killed seven hundred headless ghosts, four hundred Yin ghosts of various colors, and a thousand ghosts at night. He attracted the ghost willows of the four realms, and finally the ghost willows withered. But I don't know how he did it specifically. Gao Jian, do you know?" The man looked at Gao Jian and said so.

Gao Jian stared at the official with the divine image behind him, bowed and asked:

"Excuse me, sir?"

The man put away the many Dharma images behind him and said calmly: "I am Zuo Lang, the chief priest of Cangzhou. I am in charge of the city god of the state and the gods of mountains and rivers in various places. I am in charge of all the sacrifices to those listed in the sacrificial rites, and I determine the procedures for funerals and sacrifices of different ranks."

Gao Jian nodded.

When I came here, I was ambushed and killed. I didn't know who the attacker was. Among so many people, only this person stood up and said that he knew me and what I had done.

And... he is the official in charge of sacrifices, so what about the Ghost Willow swallowing the City God... ?
While Gao Jian was thinking about these things, the priest named Zuo Lang did not stop.

He continued to look at Gao Jian and asked, "So, Gao Jian, what did you do?"

"What did I do? Didn't you tell me everything?" Gao Jian asked back.

"What I mean is, how can you do all this?" Zuo Lang asked.

The Demon Suppression Division Sima who had stood up to help Gao Jian before did not say anything at this time, because everyone wanted to know how Gao Jian did it. In the first realm, killing seven hundred headless ghosts, if there is no trick, no one will believe it.

"I just rely on the knife in my hand." Gao Jian still held the rusty knife and said so.

"Really?" Zuo Lang nodded slightly, but saw a divine image behind him suddenly take action!
The deity's armor is as scale-like as scales, and he wears a palace brocade robe with clusters of golden flowers on his body. He holds a long spear in his hand. It seems that he is a general who was worshipped by the gods somewhere and became a deity after his death.

If Gao Jian had a wisp of incense scent on his body, then the other party's golden body was completely composed of pure incense scent!

Gao Jian only had the aura of more than ten years of incense, but the other party had at least hundreds of years of accumulation!
This is a gap of dozens of times.

The divine figure took action and swung his halberd. A strong sense of oppression came over him. He held the halberd high, its tip like a meteor, and headed straight for Gao Jian!

In just a moment, the spirit is fully displayed!
The strong man is generous, and the man in bright armor shines brightly.

The body may die but the soul remains immortal, and the heroic spirit shakes the wilderness!
The divine image displayed the courage and martial arts that a heroic spirit should have when he was alive. Gao Jian could only block this attack with his long sword!

Because, no matter whether it was his self-sacrificing swordsmanship or his improved footwork, they could not block or dodge this attack. Gao Jian's swordsmanship had been practiced for more than ten years and was already quite strong.

However, he was facing a heroic spirit who had been immersed in battle for countless years during his lifetime and had extraordinary martial arts skills. Gao Jian, who had only acquired the swordsmanship he had acquired over the past decade, was unable to confront him head-on.

A bang!
The long sword was intact, but Gao Jian was knocked back thirty steps, and the recoil force tore his knuckles open.

This divine being has at least the third level of cultivation!
And Gao Jian's trump card, martial arts and the aura of incense, were completely suppressed in front of the heroic spirit in front of him.

It was obvious that Zuo Lang saw through Gao Jian's background at a glance, and deliberately used a divine form that could completely restrain Gao Jian in all aspects.

Zuo Lang stood where he was, allowing the divine being to do what he wanted.

Although the Sima of the Demon Suppression Division did not take action, he had already made preparations and was obviously ready to take action at any time.

Others basically just watched.

They were all very curious, how would Gao Jian win?
How did Gao Jian achieve the feat of killing seven hundred headless ghosts?
The heroic spirit continued to attack, and the long spear suppressed Gao Jian firmly!

Gao Jian's martial arts were completely unable to keep up with the opponent's. Although his self-sacrificing swordsmanship was good, it was just an ordinary martial art after all, and it was difficult to compete with such an opponent.

The divine being was closing in on him step by step, and seeing that Gao Jian was about to be defeated, Sima was ready to rescue him.

Otherwise, Zuo Lang would really kill someone.

The last move! There is no way to avoid it!

The divine Dharma image swung out the final killing move with the long spear!
Sima moved his feet!

Then he stopped.

This was a sure hit, but Gao Jian actually dodged it!
Not only did he dodge it, he even slashed back with his sword, creating a crack in the golden body of the god!
what is that?
The others frowned, not understanding what they had missed.

Only Gao Jian knew that this was the method of deduction.

He calculated the opponent's attack trajectory.

Where did it come from?

On the turtle shell, of course!
The method of innate deduction recorded on the tortoise shell of the Five Realms Great Demon!
Turtles themselves have magical powers. As the saying goes, there is a spirit turtle carrying a book called "Luoshu". Therefore, it can tell good or bad luck by burning bones. Therefore, when drilling with turtle and casting yarrow stalks, if the omens are clear and the numbers are consistent with the intention, it can be said that the gods have made it clear.

Everyone else thought Gao Jian was looking at the old turtle's appearance, but in fact, Gao Jian was reflecting the charm of the turtle shell!
Gao Jian's long sword had consumed all its light while he was comprehending the "Song of the Great Dao of Xuanhua Tongmen", but the incident at Qingshui River helped him sharpen the sword a little more.

And just when he was struggling to hold on, he was actually applying these to the bird seal characters on the tortoise shell, comprehending the beauty of them!
