Chapter 11 Evil

Although Wang Jian lowered his head just now, Shen Hao still saw the flash of "panic" in his eyes.

But Shen Hao didn't plan to blame Wang Jian.

Is it normal to be frightened by evil spirits? It's so normal! What's more, it's still a third-grade evil spirit, so it's strange if you are not afraid.

What's even more frightening is that this evil creature is controlled by humans, which directly magnifies this fear several times.

Even the person who controls Xie Chong is even more terrifying than Xie Chong itself.

There is a special name for this kind of person: evil cultivator.

Shen Hao can even be sure that what Wang Jian is really afraid of is these evil monks. After all, compared with Xie Chong, there are many more Xuanqing guards who die at the hands of evil monks every year, at least a thousand.

The so-called evil spirits, according to Xuan Qingwei's research, are actually the souls of the dead who failed to return to the original world due to the turmoil of hostility.

Because there is no fixed time and place for the emergence of evil spirits, and there are no special signs that can be predicted, so evil spirits may appear at any time whether it is a deep mountain forest or a densely populated city.

A large part of Xuan Qingwei's role is to deal with evil beings like Xie Chong, which ordinary soldiers cannot deal with.

Xie Chong's strength is divided in detail, from the first rank to the ninth rank, the higher the rank, the stronger the strength. With Shen Hao's current strength at the sixth level of Qi refining, he can barely deal with a second-grade evil under normal circumstances, and only with the Thunder Protection Talisman can he be qualified to fight a third-rank evil.

In fact, apart from the Thunderbolt Talisman, there are many other things in Xuanqing Guard that can deal with evil spirits, such as the brocade robe and wild goose spine knife that every Xuan Qing Guard will distribute. The magic weapon that has been specially processed, although low-level, is indeed effective.

Further up, there are even more powerful means such as "Sword of Exterminating Evil", "Five Thunder Charms", etc., but with Shen Hao's identity and status, he is not qualified to get it.

So there is a way to deal with the evil Xuan Qingwei. Just like the relationship between hunters and wild beasts, although sometimes wild beasts can also attack hunters, in most cases hunters are still in a crushing dominant position.

but

The evil cultivator is quite different!

Evil monks are also monks first of all, the difference is that most of the methods they practice are evil and insidious methods, and even this kind of practice method will cause extremely serious damage to the survival of ordinary people.

Take the "Yin Tofu" mentioned by Wang Jian before as an example. This thing is made of refined blood extracted from human blood and several kinds of prohibited materials. However, the audience is very small, and it is only used by evil monks. Normal monks will either lose their minds or souls after eating it, or directly collapse their foundations and become useless.

In addition to edible things such as "yin tofu", evil monks also have the ability and means to make magic tools and spells. The evil yin talisman that controls evil spirits is one of them. There is even a huge genre in the use of evil talismans.

Therefore, just like normal monks, besides their own cultivation, evil monks can also obtain other assistance to improve their combat capabilities, and even use some tricks to remove threats either explicitly or covertly.

There is a saying in Xuanqingwei that says: Dealing with evil spirits is dangerous, and dealing with evil monks is a life-threatening death.

"It's right to be afraid."

"Ah? What did Xiaoqi say? How could I be afraid?"

"There's nothing embarrassing to admit. It's normal to feel scared when facing evil monks. The more you are afraid, the more you should know how to be cautious. At the same time, you should also think that every case involving evil monks is a big case. Don't you always think about it? Detecting a big case with a face? This is the best opportunity."

"Xiaoqi, me."

"Don't worry, although you didn't confirm that the case involved an evil cultivator right away, your analytical skills are already very good, and you will continue to follow up on this case. But you have to be more careful now. This you Take it, just in case."

Shen Hao took out a Thunderbolt Talisman from his arms and patted it in Wang Jian's hand. He had received three cards from the arsenal before, and now he gave one to Wang Jian.

"This is the Thunderbolt Talisman? Xiaoqi, I don't need it"

"Take it, be careful."

Shen Hao did not continue to stay in Zhuangzi, but returned directly to Wuyang City. But Wang Jian stayed. He wanted to try to clear out the whole Zhuangzi before dawn and search it carefully. He thought that maybe he could get some useful clues here.

Shen Hao rode a horse and led five warriors into the city gate, greeted Xuan Qingwei who was guarding the gate, and headed towards Qi Mansion all the way.

It's almost dawn.

Before the end of the case, Shen Hao put Xuan Qingwei's case handling place in the Qi Mansion. Firstly, it is big enough, and secondly, it can better seal off the scene.

Open the door and go in, the lights inside are much less than the previous few days. Because of Wang Jian's discovery, Shen Hao transferred most of the manpower there, and there are gates and other places in the whole city that need to be stationed, so there are currently less than twenty people left in the Qi Mansion.

"Little flag."

"Well, there aren't many brothers on duty tonight, please work hard, and tighten up the circle when you watch the night."

"clear."

Shen Hao patted his shoulders and went back to his bedroom. An ordinary room near the atrium in Qi Mansion.

After closing the door, Shen Hao leaned back on the chair, exhaled, and felt a burst of tiredness. He had slept for less than three hours in total in the past few days, even though his cultivation base had just broken through the sixth level of Qi refining, he couldn't resist it anymore, tilted his head, and leaned on the back of the chair to simply squint for a while.

But not long after, Shen Hao sat up abruptly.

The tattoo on his chest suddenly became inexplicably hot, causing him to break out in a thin layer of sweat. Not only that, but also his heart trembled, feeling very bad.

Shaking his head to cheer himself up, Shen Hao got up and walked to the window and pushed it open, looking at the darkness outside before dawn, feeling even more uneasy.

"It doesn't feel right."

Pushing the door and going out, I was about to say hello to the staff, only to realize that this time seems to be the time for night watch. In addition to the lack of manpower, the usual sentry posts have been reduced a lot.

"Forget it, turn around first."

Being cautious, Shen Hao didn't ignore the inexplicable sense of tension in his body, and soon he was terrified to be glad that he hadn't been careless just now.

It was a cold feeling, as if a knife had been drawn against your neck.

This feeling is still fresh in Shen Hao's memory, it's only when Xie Chong appears in person!

"not good!"

As soon as a thought came to his mind, his right hand subconsciously grasped the handle of the knife at his waist, and a sharp, stench-like aura was already covered as a hood, and he could vaguely see that it was a huge black claw!

Shen Hao suddenly felt that death was approaching, his body instinctively shrank down, and at the same time he kicked the ground fiercely, a donkey rolled and narrowly avoided the fatal blow.

"Clang!"

The goose spine knife was out of its sheath, Shen Hao turned over, and swung the long knife out at the same time, blocking another sharp claw attack from the opponent again with a bang. However, the aftershock didn't dissipate, and three scratches were left on Shen Hao's left shoulder, and the magic weapon brocade robe was like paper in front of this claw attack.
