After killing the traitor of the Luo Cult, Gu Cheng waited for a while until he was sure that the other party was dead, and then he went over to search for the body.
Gu Cheng is not cowardly, but cautious.
Only today did he finally know how terrifying a warrior who practices both martial arts and qi refining can be.
He is unparalleled in melee combat, and his secret skills and Taoist techniques are hard to defend against.
Even when the opponent was seriously injured, he escaped several pursuits. You can imagine how strong the opponent's cultivation was in his heyday.
Gu Cheng was able to find the other party and make a profit, thanks to the evil spirit.
In fact, the Heart Ghost is not very useful in frontal combat. At least it is incomparable with the Black Zombie Arm. It can only serve as a sneak attack and harassment.
But this little thing is still useful in some aspects, just like now.
Gu Cheng stepped forward and took out the Demonic Arrow Yeluo from the hand of the Luo Sect traitor, but his hand suddenly shook and almost threw the thing away.
When he first saw the Taoist priest's appearance, Gu Cheng thought that the demon arrow Yeluo was a very powerful weapon, but now he saw that this thing was simply evil, it actually seemed to be a living creature!
The demon arrow Ye Luo seemed to be a skinny arm, with thick fascia wrapped around it, giving it a withered yellow color.
On the tip of the arrow is a similarly skinny bone claw holding an arrow-shaped bone spur, glowing gray in color.
The most important thing is that the fascia on the arrow body is beating rhythmically, and it feels warm, as if it is alive.
Gu Cheng took a deep breath.
Judging from the appearance of the Taoist priest and the tone of the traitor of the Luo religion, this should be a treasure, but it is actually a somewhat evil treasure.
He continued to rummage through the bodies of the Naluo disciples. In addition to some money, there were also several booklets.
One of the scrolls was made of unknown leather, and the writing on it was also black and red, like blood stains.
What is written above is how to use Yaojian Yeluo.
"Flesh and blood are used as bows, and demonic arrows are used as arrows!"
These eight words are the core usage of Yaojian Yeluo. After reading it, Gu Cheng finally understood why the disciples of Luo Jiao didn't use it before. Yaojian is really a Yaojian.
According to what was said above, it was made by a man named Ye Luo, or by a demon using one of his arms.
If you want to use it, you have to integrate this demon arrow Yeluo into your own body, use your own flesh and blood as a crossbow, and shoot this demon arrow.
Since this demon arrow is alive, it must eat something.
As soon as the demon arrow Yeluo comes out, it must swallow enough flesh and blood. If it doesn't swallow enough, then you have to find a way to feed it.
As for what to feed, feed yourself.
It can be said that if this thing cannot kill others, it will kill itself. This side effect is much greater than those of those heretical evil methods.
There is also a line of small words left at the end of the scroll: One of the seventy-two magical powers of Guixu Hai Yuhua Mountain.
Gu Cheng rubbed his head. In his memory, he had never heard of the name Guixuhaiyuhuashan.
And this Demonic Arrow Yeluo is one of the seventy-two magical powers. That means there are seventy-one more existences like this?
But Gu Cheng felt that this thing didn't look like a supernatural power, it was more like an evil method.
After hesitating for a moment, Gu Cheng took the demon arrow Yeluo and its usage into his arms.
Don't worry about whether this thing is a magical power or an evil method, it's just that it's very strong. We'll talk about whether to use it or not later.
As for the other things on the Luo Jiao traitor, Gu Cheng also took a look at them. Some of them recorded some of the Luo Jiao's daily actions, etc., which should be useful to the senior officials of Jingyesi.
There are also some things that should be more confidential, with the blessing of talismans. Gu Cheng looks like they are just blurry. They should be cracked with specific secret methods before they can be viewed.
Apart from these things, Gu Cheng didn't discover Luo Jiao's exercises, which made him feel disappointed but also felt normal.
Whether it is the imperial court or Jianghu sects, they have extremely strict control over the practice.
There are bans on Jingyesi's skills. You can only get the first level by advancing to the first level. The ban can also prevent external rumors.
A large sect such as Luo Jiao will definitely have similar methods, and top skills can rarely be leaked.
Gu Cheng just looked at the other things briefly and then stuffed them back. He looked around, cleaned up the traces of his passing, and returned the way he came.
According to what the Taoist priest said, the loss of Yaojian Yeluo was not even noticed by Luo Jiao himself at the moment, and Jingyesi should be even less aware of it.
Therefore, even if Gu Cheng takes the demon arrow Ye Luo and brings back the body of the Luo sect traitor, he should not be noticed.
But after careful consideration, Gu Cheng decided not to stay in the limelight.
The reward above was not for one person, but for everyone. He took the body back to get these things.
Moreover, although the traitor of the Luo Sect died in his hands, in fact, the real cause of his death was that he was unable to suppress the Ziyang Qi in his body and died from the backlash.
Except for the Yin Qi left by the ghost in the heart, everything else at the scene was very similar to that of the Luo Sect traitor. After killing the Taoist priest, both parties died together because they could not suppress the Purple Yang Qi in their bodies.
It doesn't matter if that faint yin energy is noticed by others. For a sect like Luo Jiao, a heretic sect, it is normal for it to practice some heretical and evil methods such as raising ghosts.
After thinking about it carefully and finding no loopholes, Gu Cheng retreated to the foot of the barren mountain and pretended to search.
Less than half an hour later, a bright light lit up on the barren mountain. It was Jingyesi's gathering signal. They should have discovered the disciples of the Naluo Sect.
When Gu Cheng walked over, he happened to see Meng Hantang leading Zhao Jingming and others down the mountain. Everyone looked happy.
After working hard for such a long time, this man finally fell into their hands, taking with him several Luo Jiao demons.
Seeing Gu Cheng coming over, Zhao Jingming laughed and said, "Brother Gu, you are lucky. The traitor from Luo Jiao killed a Taoist priest, but he himself also died from the backlash of Ziyang Qi."
Gu Cheng also said excitedly: "Really? That's great. After so much effort, the reward finally fell into our hands."
Although Gu Cheng's excitement at this time seemed a little false, everyone was in excitement at this time, and his acting skills were still up to standard.
After returning to Jingyesi, Meng Handang made a statistics.
In this battle, one person from Jingyesi in Luo County was killed and seven others were injured. For the Jingyesi stronghold in a county, it was already considered serious, and of course the rewards were extremely generous.
Everyone can get 100 merit points and two bottles of Yunling Pill, which is definitely a big gain for the low-level Xuanjia Guards.
After making these statistics, Meng Hantang called everyone over, looked around, and said solemnly: "Next, I am going to the state capital to deliver the body of the Luo Sect traitor to Heyang Mansion.
At the same time, my injury was too serious and I couldn't recover well just by resting, so I needed to ask Jing Yesi's doctor in Heyang Mansion to help with the treatment. This process would take about one to two months.
Anyone who wants to exchange merit points for something can report it to me, and I will have someone bring it back to you along with the elixir.
Also this time, because I have been away for too long, Luo County Jingyesi cannot do without someone to take charge of the overall situation, so I have to elect someone to temporarily take over the position of night watchman."
After looking at everyone, Meng Hantang paused and said in a deep voice, "This person is Gu Cheng."
Everyone present was stunned. Even Gu Cheng himself was stunned. He did not expect that Meng Hantang would choose him.
Among the Xuanjia Guards of Jingyesi in Luo County, he was the one with the lowest qualifications. According to Zhaicheng, it was not his turn to do this kind of thing.
In fact, Meng Handang had his own considerations in choosing Gu Cheng.
Among the Xuanjia guards of Jingyesi in Luo County, excluding the ninth-grade entry-level ones, there are only seven or eight who can be used.
The strongest among them should be Zhao Jingming and Wang Qi.
But of the two of them, Wang Qi is too straightforward and not good at using his brain.
Zhao Jingming is a seasoned person, but he is too slippery. It is okay for him to do things, but it is a bit difficult for him to decide things.
Moreover, although the strength of the two of them is relatively strong, they do not surpass the others by much.
Although Gu Cheng is a newcomer and has relatively junior qualifications, his martial arts cultivation within the eighth level plus his left-handed secret techniques are completely comparable to those in the late eighth level or even at the peak.
The most important thing is that after experiencing a series of previous events, Meng Hantang saw Gu Cheng's ability, and he was the most suitable person for this position.
Besides, he didn't leave forever, he only had one to two months, and Gu Cheng just had to ensure that nothing would happen to Jingyesi in Luo County during this period.
But Gu Cheng was actually very reluctant. He had been in the limelight before, and now it was time to keep a low profile.
It would be fine if he really was allowed to be a night watchman, but now he is just an acting night watchman. He will have to return it in more than a month, and he may also make people jealous, so it is not interesting.
Just when Gu Cheng was about to refuse, Meng Hantang said directly: "This matter has been settled. I am going to leave for Heyang Mansion."
After saying that, Meng Hantang walked straight out without even giving Gu Cheng time to refuse.
Zhao Jingming laughed and said, "Brother Gu, congratulations on your promotion."
Gu Cheng smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Zhao, don't try to ridicule me. What kind of promotion is this? It's just taking over a trouble."
Of course, a veteran of Jingyesi like Zhao Jingming would not be so narrow-minded. It would be unworthy to hate Gu Cheng just because he had been acting as a night patrol officer for more than a month.
There may be some Xuanjia guards in Luo County's Jingyesi Division who were dissatisfied that Gu Cheng, a newcomer, had climbed over them in just one month, but Zhao Jingming and Wang Qi, who were stronger than them, didn't say anything.
