Chapter 173: Capturing the Impermanent Ghost
"He wants to run!"

Although Yu Shijiu was being harassed by the disciples of the Tongshan Sect, his attention was always on the Ghostly Sou of Impermanence. Seeing that the Ghostly Sou of Impermanence was about to run away, his heart sank and he prepared to take strong action against the disciples of the Tongshan Sect who were harassing him.

However, at that moment.

A sharp whistling sound suddenly echoed through the air, like a blade slicing through the sky. A dark shadow flashed by at a speed too fast to be seen with the naked eye. With immense force, it tore through the air and shot towards the Impermanence Ghost Old Man. With a "puff", it penetrated into the Impermanence Ghost Old Man's thigh.

"what!"

The Ghostly Old Man Wuchang let out a scream, lost his balance, and fell from the sky like a kite with a broken string, landing heavily on the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

When everyone looked over, they discovered that it was actually a chopstick that had directly pierced the thigh of the Ghostly Old Man Wuchang, and blood was flowing out along the chopstick.

The fallen Impermanent Ghost cried out in pain. In that instant, a thin silver whip emerged from his sleeve. The tip of the whip, as if alive, soared into the air and suddenly wrapped around the Chiwen on the eaves. With a sudden flick of his wrist, the entire iron whip stretched like a crescent moon. Using the recoil, he was about to disappear into the twilight like a night owl. The green tiles on the eaves of the inn exploded with a bang, sending shards flying everywhere.

At this moment, in the inn, Gu Mo casually picked up a bamboo chopstick and gently tapped it on the edge of a bowl. With a clear "clang" sound, he casually threw the ordinary bamboo chopstick out. With a "whoosh" sound, a cold light shot out, dragging a three-inch afterimage in the air, and instantly struck the iron whip.

The crisp sound of the iron whip breaking and the muffled sound of flesh tearing exploded almost at the same time. A half bamboo chopstick was found stuck in the right wrist bone of the Impermanence Ghost Old Man. Dark red blood beads meandered down along the green bamboo veins and condensed into amber light in the twilight.

"I thought he really had a great enlightenment." Gu Mo flicked the bamboo chips floating in the wine bowl with his fingers, and the other two chopsticks twirled between his fingers like flowers. "It turns out he was just pretending to escape."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Mo threw two more chopsticks through the air. The bamboo chopsticks carried the force of splitting mountains and stopping rivers, piercing through the left knee and right elbow of the Impermanence Ghost Old Man.

The Impermanent Ghost Elder stumbled and fell to the ground, his limbs crippled. He collapsed on the ground like a puddle of mud. He stubbornly raised his head and looked at Gu Mo, gritting his teeth and saying, "Who are you? When did the Six Gates in Mobei have a master like you?"

Gu Mo ignored the Impermanent Ghost Old Man and said to Chen Xiuyuan, "General Chen, why don't you call for help? Are you planning to take Sang Guhong back to the yamen by yourself?"

Chen Xiuyuan immediately walked out the door, took out a flare and fired it, which exploded into a firework in the night sky.

Immediately, a flare was launched in response not far away.

at this time,

The inn was very quiet.

The flying swordsman Yu Shijiu had just ruthlessly injured two disciples of the Tongshan Sect. At the same time, Gu Mo made a move, and a few chopsticks frightened the disciples of the Tongshan Sect. They didn't dare to move. The two who were injured also endured the pain and dared not make a sound.

As for the flying swordsman Yu Shijiu, he had no intention of hurting those people from the Tongshan Sect. It was only when he saw the Ghostly Old Man Wuchang trying to escape that he took ruthless action. With just one sword strike, he injured the wrists of Wang Can, the eldest brother of the Tongshan Sect, and another disciple, making them unable to hold their swords.

However, seeing that Gu Mo had already subdued the Impermanence Ghost Old Man, he put away his sword and did not continue to attack the people from the Tongshan Sect.

So, it became quiet for a while.

Only Yuan Zhu, looking at the miserable old man, angrily shouted, "Grandpa Wu did something wrong when he was young, but he spent twenty years repenting and reforming. We should forgive him on behalf of those who died. When will this cycle of revenge end? Grandpa Wu repented and suffered for twenty years. Isn't that enough? Why won't you let him go?"

Gu Chudong scolded, "Do you know how great a sin the Impermanence Ghost Old Man committed back then?"

Yuan Zhu said, "I don't know, and I don't need to know. No matter what happened, no matter who he is, it doesn't matter to me. I only know that he is Grandpa Wu who treated me very well. He saved us when the village was hit by a disaster. As for the mistakes he made back then, what does it have to do with me?"

Gu Chudong said speechlessly, "The harm that the Impermanence Ghost Old Man has caused to others, and the hatred of others have nothing to do with you. Then, what does the Impermanence Ghost Old Man's kindness to you have to do with us? You want to save him, but you don't consider the evil he has done to others. Then why should we consider the good he has done for you when we want to kill him?"

"I do not care!"

Yuan Zhu stood in front of the Impermanent Ghost Old Man and said in a deep voice, "Unless I die, no one is allowed to..."

"Then go to die!"

At this moment, there was a burst of noisy footsteps at the door, and a team of six-door detectives rushed in, led by Zhuo Qingfeng.

He drew his sword and attacked Yuan Zhu.
Under Yuan Zhu's incredulous gaze, Zhuo Qingfeng's sword directly cut her throat, blood spurted out instantly, her body staggered and fell to the ground, twitching.

"Little junior sister!"

Wang Can exclaimed, pointed his sword at Zhuo Qingfeng, and roared, "How dare you kill my junior sister? She is my master's most beloved disciple!"

Zhuo Qingfeng snorted coldly and said, "I am Zhuo Qingfeng, the Supervisor of the Six Gates of Mobei, a fifth-rank official of the imperial court. You dare point a sword at me, you will be punished by death!"

After saying that, Zhuo Qingfeng swung out the long sword that was still dripping with blood again. The sword was as fast as lightning, and with a flash of cold light, it slashed across Wang Can's neck.

"..."

Wang Can covered his neck with his hands, his eyes widened, the long sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, and his body softened and fell down.

“Senior Brother!” “Big Brother” “…”

Several other disciples of the Tongshan School exclaimed in surprise.

"Take them all!"

Following Zhuo Qingfeng's order, all the Six Gates detectives surrounded them. Although the Tongshan Sect disciples were surprised that the Six Gates detectives were so bold today, they were frightened by Zhuo Qingfeng's power of killing two people in a row and did not dare to resist, for fear that they would be killed if they resisted.

Zhuo Qingfeng then sent another person to apprehend the Impermanent Ghost Old Man. "Brother Gu, as expected, no wanted criminal you've targeted can escape from your grasp." Zhuo Qingfeng walked up to Gu Mo and said, "You don't even need to look for them; they'll all fall into your hands."

Gu Mo chuckled and said, "Stop talking nonsense. You have to give me the official letter that will arrest the wanted criminal."

Zhuo Qingfeng said, "Our relationship isn't that bad, is it? You still don't trust me?"

"One thing at a time, the process must be followed. This is my principle as a ghostwriter," Gu Mo said. "Besides, if you don't issue an official letter, how can you report to your Six Gates headquarters?"

"That's true."

Zhuo Qingfeng nodded and immediately took out the rice paper and official seal.

Actually,
What Gu Mo cares about is not those things, but mainly the rewards that need to be settled by the system.

The easiest way to settle a ghostwriter mission is to kill the person directly. However, if the person needs to be alive, you need to obtain an official letter of acceptance from the government.

Gu Mo didn't like this kind of thing, because it was very troublesome to escort the wanted criminal to the government office. However, today it was much easier, because Zhuo Qingfeng directly issued the official letter on the spot.

quickly,

Zhuo Qingfeng wrote the official letter, stamped it and handed it to Gu Mo.

The moment Gu Mo took the official letter, a system prompt sounded in his mind:
Killing a three-star wanted criminal

[Get three-star reward - max-level Lingbo Weibu]

[Whether to receive it]

……

At the same moment, countless exquisite mantras, key techniques, and subtle applications of the "Lingbo Weibu" technique flooded into Gu Mo's consciousness like a surging tide, deeply intertwining with his thoughts. As a result, Gu Mo even mastered the I Ching. This was because the "Lingbo Weibu" technique was a unique Xiaoyao Sect technique, exceptionally delicate and based on the 64 hexagrams of the I Ching. The user followed a specific sequence of hexagrams, completing a complete circle from the first step to the last.

For ordinary people to learn Lingbo Weibu, they must be proficient in the Book of Changes. However, Gu Mo did the opposite, learning Lingbo Weibu first directly fed back to him to understand the Book of Changes.

……

At this time, in the inn,

Many Six Gates detectives were cleaning up the scene, and all the oil lamps were lit.

Zhuo Qingfeng looked around and saw Yu Shijiu preparing to leave, so he hurriedly called out, "Brother Yu Shijiu, please stay."

Yu Shijiu, who had already reached the door, stopped, turned around and said, "Sir, I am not a wanted criminal."

Zhuo Qingfeng quickly said, "Brother Yu Shijiu, don't misunderstand me. I'm Zhuo Qingfeng, the Supervisor of the Six Gates of Mobei. I've been following you, Brother Yu Shijiu, for a long time. You're chivalrous and brave, and you're a master of martial arts. I've admired you for a long time. You..."

Yu Shijiu looked at Zhuo Qingfeng expressionlessly and said calmly, "Master Zhuo, if you have something to say, please speak."

Zhuo Qingfeng smiled awkwardly and said, "I would like to invite Brother Yu Shijiu to join the Six Gates. Brother Yu Shijiu, now that the Six Gates of Mobei are just being established, it's a good time for you to make a big splash. If you agree to join, I'll guarantee you a position as the Chief Bannerman. In three years, no, two years, I'll guarantee you a promotion to a centurion..."

"I am not interested."

Yu Shijiu turned and left.

Zhuo Qingfeng said quickly, "Even if you don't want to join the Six Gates, there's no need to leave in such a hurry. It's getting dark, and you know the weather in Mobei. If you leave now, it'll be cold and windy outside. Why don't you stay here for the night? Besides, you're not interested in the Yunzhou hero, Gu Mo, the world's number one ghostwriter, the master of both sword and qi, the youngest of the Qian Kingdom's ten great masters, and the one with the greatest potential to be the world's number one? Tonight, Gu Mo is here too. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to discuss Dao!"

Yu Shijiu's eyes lit up, and the cold expression on his face could no longer be suppressed. He turned around, looked at Gu Mo, swallowed his saliva, and asked, "He...he is the Yunzhou hero Gu Mo?"

"It's absolutely true." Zhuo Qingfeng said, "If you go out and ask around, you'll know. Gu Mo and I are friends for life and death."

"Then...then can you let him guide me?"

Zhuo Qingfeng raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Of course I can, but since you're not from the Six Gates, it's hard for me to say for sure!"

Yu Shijiu frowned, lowered his head and thought, seeming to be in a very difficult situation.

at this time,

Gu Mo said, "Little brother, if you don't mind, come over and sit with me and exchange martial arts experiences."

Yu Shijiu's eyes lit up, and he hurried over, bowing awkwardly, and said excitedly, "Earlier... I didn't... I didn't realize it was Master Gu in person. I'm so disrespectful...!"

Gu Chudong asked, "Have you heard of my brother in Mobei?"

"I've heard of it." Yu Shijiu took a deep breath, regained his composure, and said, "Ye Jinglan and Chu Tianqing have both publicly admitted that they are no match for Hero Gu. People in the martial arts world say that Hero Gu hates evil and is extremely righteous. I admire him very much!"
