The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 120 Gu Disaster
Zhou Boyi had only gone to the prison of the Northern Pacification Division to interrogate the newly appointed Prince Yishun, but he had already been infected with the poisonous insect.

It only took half an incense stick of time to get from the Northern Pacification Office to the imperial palace, ride a horse to the palace gate, and then walk to the Baohe Hall where the banquet was held.

In just this short period of time, Zhou Boyi began to have an attack. If Li Jingxiao had not been there, Zhou Boyi might have been sucked dry by the insect.

Then the poisonous insect flew out of his body and drilled into the bodies of other people present.

Now, everyone couldn't help but feel secretly relieved.

Some even suspected that Prince Yishun deliberately angered the emperor.

Otherwise, the Gu disaster would not have broken out in the prison cell of the Northern Pacification Office.

By now, most of them should have been killed or injured, just like the captains and strongmen in the Northern Pacification Division prison.

The Emperor Taizong hurriedly said to Li Jingxiao, "Jingyou, quickly test Commander Zhou to see if there are any more poisonous insects."

Li Jingxiao nodded and threw a few minor-level exorcism talismans around Zhou Boyi's body, which floated in the air in a circle.

Only then did several bursts of brilliant light burst out.

Zhou Boyi was feeling anxious, but fortunately the bright light from the talisman only made people feel dazzling and a little warm.

Zhou Boyi, the civil and military ministers, the emperor and his son, finally felt relieved.

Afterwards, the eunuchs who brought Zhou Boyi into the palace and the imperial guards stationed at the palace gate were all illuminated by the bright light of the exorcism talisman by Li Jingxiao.

After confirming that no one was infected with the poisonous insect, everyone couldn't help but speculate.

The poisonous insect must mature in the victim's body before it sucks the target dry and then flies out of the body to find other targets to continue devouring.

Fortunately, before the poisonous insect could mature, Li Jingxiao forced it out of Zhou Boyi's body, electrocuted it, and burned it to ashes.

The emperor felt relieved, but his expression suddenly changed drastically. He said to Li Jingxiao anxiously, "Quick, go to the Northern Pacification Division Prison and take a look."

After saying this, he took out a golden badge from his waist and asked Xia Shouzhong to give it to Li Jingxiao.

This thing is actually a military talisman evolved from the tiger talisman. With the gold medal in hand, Li Jingxiao can mobilize the military forces in the capital.

The emperor took a look at the gold medal in Li Jingxiao's hand, opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing.

If the poisonous insects can really reproduce indefinitely, the entire capital will be destroyed.

But in fact, Li Jingxiao vaguely guessed that this thing should have many restrictions.

Otherwise, the ethnic minorities in southern Xinjiang would have unified Southeast Asia long ago and then fought northward.

Since killing these poisonous insects could gain experience, Li Jingxiao naturally would not refuse.

He was even worried that the insect had a limited lifespan. If he was too slow, the insect might die on its own.

By the way, let’s find out if the evil sect is hidden outside the Northern Pacification Office.

Just as he was about to leave, he thought of Qin Keqing, who was going to the palace tonight to attend the banquet for ladies of honor hosted by the Queen.

I was just about to ask about the situation in Kunning Palace.

But as soon as the words came to his lips, Li Jingxiao realized that the first targets of the attack would definitely be the retired emperor and his son.

Next come the civil and military ministers in the court, and finally the concubines and ladies in the harem.

Even Zhou Boyi's entry into the palace was an accident.

Otherwise, that demon's intelligence would be even more evil than Zhuge Liang's.

So Li Jingxiao no longer hesitated, bowed to the retired emperor and his son, turned around and quickly walked out of the hall.

I wanted to use my lightness skills to fly up to the main hall, jump over various halls in the palace, and quickly rush to the Northern Pacification Office.

But then I thought, this is the imperial palace.

Jumping onto the roof of the royal palace is really a disrespect for the imperial power.

Then he used his Qinggong skills and each stride was more than ten meters.

But even when just running, the speed is as fast as a horse.

With the emperor's gold medal in hand, the journey will naturally be smooth.

Just left the palace and had no more worries.

With a leap, he flew out more than 20 meters and landed on the eaves of a building.

With each step, it was another thirty meters.

In less than a minute, it had landed on the eaves outside the North Pacification Office.

Looking over, he saw that the yamen was surrounded by the Jinyiwei.

Erfu and the others were smart enough not to show up, but to hide near the Northern Pacification Office and watch.

Seeing Li Jingxiao coming, he finally felt relieved.

But although the captains and strongmen present all held torches and swords and guns, their faces were filled with deep anxiety and fear.

It was as if there was some ferocious beast in the yamen, ready to burst out at any moment.

In fact, Li Jingxiao didn't dare to rush in rashly.

Even if the Lightning Thunder Fist can make his body covered with lightning, if there are too many ants, an elephant can bite them to death.

So Li Jingxiao thought about it and sat cross-legged on the roof ridge.

He took out his lyre and waved to Erfu and the others.

When Erfu and the others saw their master take out the guqin, they turned around and ran without thinking.

Li Jingxiao then used his internal energy to play the seven-stringed shadowless sword.

The sounds of the piano startled the Jinyiwei present.

Someone was about to curse, but looked in the direction of the piano sound.

I saw a figure sitting on the roof with his back to the moonlight, dancing with his hands.

Someone immediately recognized Li Jingxiao by the bright red dragon robe he was wearing.

For a moment, cheers could be heard from the crowd.

Unless you have been given a death order, you are not allowed to leave.

Some were hoping that Li Jingxiao would come to support them soon. Some of the Jinyiwei present might have collapsed to the ground with weak legs.

As for running away, no one is that stupid.

If you are sucked dry by the poisonous insect, you will die alone.

But if someone deserts, not only will he be executed, but his family will also be implicated.

The most likely outcome is a house search and exile.

Therefore, in ancient times, among some special forces, as long as the commander was not dead, few people dared to escape.

No, it should be that the coach died in battle, and the others would rather die in battle than have their families implicated.

In addition, the Celestial Empire has always emphasized that no matter what a person has done, as long as he dies on the battlefield, he will generally get a good reputation after his death.

Even the emperor rarely held on to the sins committed by a person during his lifetime.

To put it bluntly, sacrificing one's life for the country is the highest form of loyalty.

If we continue to hold on to minor crimes, who will fight for the country in the future?

Li Jingxiao didn't care about the Jinyiwei below. He kept outputting true energy with his hands, and the sound of the piano became more and more urgent.

In less than a minute, reminders to gain experience kept coming into my mind.

Li Jingxiao played more actively this time.

But this brings hardship to those in the capital who possess true qi, have cultivated magic power, or have other energies.

Even the retired emperor in the palace felt a little restless.

Fortunately, it was far away, and the ministers in the hall could also faintly hear the sound of the piano, and they couldn't help but become noisy.

The emperor could no longer hear the sound of the piano and immediately recovered.

The old man just thought that he was feeling uneasy because of the various suspicions and noises of the ministers.

Ten minutes later, Li Jingxiao, who had not heard the sound of increasing experience for three or four minutes, finally stopped.

He put away the guqin and said to the Jinyiwei who were not far away, "Send someone in to take a look."

After saying that, he added, "Commander Zhou was previously poisoned by a Gu, but I have already cured him.

If you are poisoned, I will treat you." Now, not only the captains and strong men were ready to make a move, but even several thousand households and a dozen hundred households were tempted.

But among these middle-level officers, not many actually dared to go in.

After a centurion brought dozens of people in to check, Li Jingxiao kept an eye on the movements in the yamen while looking at the character level column.

It just took six or seven minutes to reach level 14 (1395/1400).

Upgraded to level 17 (280/1700).

In other words, after playing the piano for ten minutes, I gained 3385 experience points.

It is equivalent to the experience I gained from playing games with my wife, Baozhu and Ruizhu all day long for a month.

Moreover, when he thought about the fact that Prince Yishun, who had just been awarded the title of king, also died in the prison of the Zhenfu Division, Li Jingxiao could not hide the smile on his face.

I just glanced around and didn't find anyone unusual.

This made Li Jingxiao feel uneasy again.

If we can't catch that evil Taoist, there's no telling when he'll pop up and cause trouble again.

A quarter of an hour later, the voice of "safe" kept coming from the yamen, and several thousand households and hundreds of Jinyiwei could not help but feel relieved.

Li Jingxiao also jumped from the eaves and landed outside the gate of the Zhenfu Division.

Everyone immediately saluted him and said "Greetings, sir".

Li Jingxiao held his sword with his hands behind his back, nodded to everyone and said, "Let a few generals take care of the aftermath.

Now, all the others should scatter and search with the Beizhenfusi Yamen as the center.

This official suspects that this disaster is not only caused by humans, but also by evil spirits."

Several thousand households opened their mouths and thought to themselves that since there were such evil spirits, if they really encountered them, they might die.

But following Li Jingxiao's gaze, no one dared to disobey.

You can only bow and take people to search.

Li Jingxiao could naturally see the uneasy expressions on the faces of the Jinyiwei.

He cursed a few times in his heart and thought to himself, it seems that if he has the chance, he still has to let the Jinyiwei come into contact with the weirdness.

Otherwise, when you encounter this kind of thing, your legs will go weak.

But Li Jingxiao was not angry, if he were an ordinary person.

If you encounter this kind of thing, you are definitely worse than these Jinyiwei.

At least these hundreds of people knew that there were bloodthirsty poisonous insects in the Beizhenfusi yamen, but they still obeyed orders and stayed outside the yamen.

He must have had the thought of sacrificing his life for his country.

Li Jingxiao couldn't do this.

So Li Jingxiao thought about it and jumped onto the roof of the yamen gate.

He took out the Five Thunder Talisman of the minor success level from the inventory, looked at the layout of the yamen clearly, and flew back and forth over the various buildings of the yamen for a few circles.

After setting up the Five Thunder Formation consisting of five thunder talismans, lightning flashed continuously in the yamen, and then quickly disappeared.

Then a large stack of talismans appeared in front of everyone.

“This is a talisman to exorcise evil spirits. I saw that demonic Taoist throw it out directly. I don’t believe that person can withstand dozens of talismans.

Furthermore, I have already set up five-thunder formations in every courtyard of the yamen. If any evil spirits or poisonous insects appear, they will be suppressed and killed with thunder magic."

The Five Thunder Talisman itself has the effect of warding off evil spirits, protecting the house and killing ghosts.

The power of the Five Thunder Formation arranged with the Five Thunder Talisman is that the sum of one plus one is greater than the sum of two.

Now, hundreds of Jinyiwei were filled with gratitude.

When he bowed and thanked Li Jingxiao, his voice became three times louder.

One by one, they followed the hundred and thousand households and searched in all directions.

Li Jingxiao also leaped up, and with a whoosh he flew over thirty meters before landing on a roof.

Searching in the air.

An hour later, Li Jingxiao landed on a roof with a frown, wondering where the evil Taoist was hiding.

But unexpectedly, it was in a private house a few dozen meters away from the Beizhenfu Division.

A middle-aged man who looked to be about forty years old was playing the seven-stringed shadowless sword when Li Jingxiao was playing the seven-stringed shadowless sword.

He ran away from the backyard in panic.

Li Jingxiao played for another ten minutes, which was enough for this guy to run a long way.

When he could no longer hear the sound of the piano, the man suddenly couldn't help coughing up a mouthful of black blood.

With a pale face, he quickly took out a jade box and threw a pill the size of a pigeon egg into his mouth.

He hid in the garden of a house and took a long time to regulate his breathing before his face regained color.

But as soon as he recovered a little, he quietly returned to the inn where he was staying without hesitation.

With a legitimate identity, he is not afraid of being investigated.

But he had also made up his mind that after a few days when martial law in the capital was lifted, he would immediately leave the city and return to southern Xinjiang, and never come to the capital again.

This person was the evil one who had fought against Li Jingxiao's master, his teacher, and his uncles in southern Xinjiang, and had ambushed and killed his master and others.

I thought that after many years in southern Xinjiang, I had learned a lot of unique skills, combined with the Taoist skills, and the two were integrated.

Not to say he is invincible, but at least he has few rivals.

Not to mention that he killed his enemy, Prince Yishun.

I originally planned to turn the old guy into a zombie, so that he would never be reborn, and also make a powerful helper for myself.

Then, when the body was transported to the capital, when the emperor or the prince went to pay homage, they would take the opportunity to make the zombie jump out of the coffin.

If we can kill a prince or something, it would be a profit.

If that doesn't work, killing some court officials would be a good thing.

However, the retired emperor and the emperor were probably worried that the old Prince Yishun had some evil magic or was poisoned.

He simply ordered the Prince's Mansion to preserve the body itself and wait for the eunuchs sent by the court to bring people to Nanzhao to preside over the burial ceremony.

Just bury him directly in Nanzhao.

So when the Taoist priest’s first plan failed, he came up with another one.

He used witchcraft on the prince.

The poisonous insect was called the blood-sucking poisonous insect. After the Taoist priest learned the strange art from southern Xinjiang, he spent several years cultivating it together with his brothers.

Once released, they will continue to suck blood and flesh and reproduce rapidly.

The only drawback is that the more times they reproduce, the shorter their survival time.

Therefore, after the poisonous insects reproduce one or two generations, in order to survive, they often will not suck the parasitic humans or animals to death.

In order to improve this, this evil man and his brothers racked their brains.

Unfortunately, it has never been successful.

Although it was only a semi-finished product, the demon Taoist was still reluctant to give it up.

But when he thought about his entire family who died at the hands of Prince Yishun's Mansion, the hatred in his heart was easily transferred to Da Zhou.

Only then did he grit his teeth and put a poisonous insect on the Prince of Yishun.

He planned to use secret techniques to wake up the poisonous insect and hurt people when he arrived in the capital.

Unexpectedly, not only did it fail in the end.

He also encountered a person whose magic power went into chaos just by the sound of the piano. He almost couldn't suppress the queen insect in his body and was attacked by the blood-sucking queen insect.

It can be said that this kind of sonic attack is definitely the most effective means to deal with poisonous creatures such as snakes and insects.

Li Jingxiao thought of Huang Yaoshi, who could make tens of thousands of snakes dance to the sound of the flute just by playing it.

I was looking forward to getting Huang Yaoshi's "Song of the Blue Sea Tide".

It would be even better if you could get "Eight Sounds of the Heavenly Demon" and the Heavenly Demon Harp.
