At this moment, a robber was fleeing in panic when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, as if a sharp dagger had been stabbed into his temple, or as if someone had set off a string of firecrackers in his head.

He let out a shrill scream, then his eyes went black and he fainted straight to the ground.

Gu Xu nodded with satisfaction, and then his eyes fell on the other robber.

The robber also held his head and fainted while wailing.

Then came the third, fourth, fifth...

Like dominoes, they fall one after another.

Young Dong Zhuangzhuang sat on the carriage and stared at the scene in front of him in stunned silence.

As a servant of the Exorcism Department, he naturally knew that Master Gu was a practitioner with extraordinary power.

For him, dealing with this group of bandits shouldn't be a problem.

But Dong Zhuangzhuang did not expect that Lord Gu did not use a knife, a sword, or a talisman - just with a look, the bandit was instantly defeated.

Is this the legendary look that can kill?

Dong Zhuangzhuang took a deep breath.

"Fortunately, I didn't make Mr. Gu angry just now," he thought happily, "otherwise, I might not even know how I died."

…………

The effect of the "solar eclipse" spell made Gu Xu very satisfied.

It does not require chanting or accumulating energy, and can be released instantly, leaving the enemy with no time to defend.

In addition, these bandits are all mortals who have never cultivated their spiritual consciousness, and their spiritual power is very weak - they are simply vulnerable to a "solar eclipse".

But after all, Gu Xu's "solar eclipse" spell was only initially practiced this morning.

During the process of casting the spell, he only felt that his spiritual power was draining away rapidly, and he was afraid that it would be exhausted after a while.

So he planned to save a little bit in case of emergencies.

Therefore, after the tenth robber fainted, Gu Xu stopped using the "solar eclipse" technique.

His eyes returned to their former clear and bright appearance.

"Are you still planning to keep running?" The corners of his mouth turned up, and he narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the remaining bandits, "If you want to continue playing the cat and mouse game, I don't mind playing with you.

"It's just that when I catch you, your fate... it's hard to say!"

Gu Xu didn't speak loudly.

But under the influence of true energy, his words were not obscured by the howling wind, but were accurately transmitted to the ears of the robbers.

At this moment, the robbers could no longer restrain the fear in their hearts.

Just now, the strange scene of their companions falling to the ground one after another, and the miserable howling, had already made them panic.

And Gu Xu's words completely destroyed the last bit of courage in their minds.

"In the Exorcism Department...when did such a number one person appear? And why did we bump into him?"

The robbers cursed in their hearts and lamented their bad luck.

They originally just wanted to squat in the grass and rob a few passing caravans.

Unexpectedly, he kicked the iron plate and bumped into the official of the Exorcism Department.

Thinking of this, they all threw their weapons and stolen goods on the ground, knelt down in front of Gu Xu, and begged him for forgiveness.

"Sir, spare your life!" The bandits kowtowed, "I have a ninety-year-old mother and a three-year-old child. If I die here today, there will be no one to take care of them..."

"You look to be thirty years old at most. Could it be that your mother gave birth to you when she was sixty?" Gu Xu laughed and interrupted their begging for mercy, "If you are not good at arithmetic, don't lie casually in front of me."

The robbers suddenly fell silent.

Gu Xu was silent for a few seconds, his eyes fell on the blood-stained clothes of the robbers, and then said: "Have you just killed someone?"

The robbers were shocked and looked at each other.

After hesitating for a long time, one person finally answered tremblingly: "Big... big and small, I have no choice but to... Because I was too poor to open the pot and couldn't pay the taxes, I had to bring my companions to this official road and blocked a branch.

caravan...

"We just wanted to take some of the property and leave, but they refused to give us life or death. They also wanted to knock us out and send us to the Yamen... So in order to protect ourselves, we had no choice but to take action..."

"What a 'force'," Gu Xu raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a playful smile, "Listening to your whining tone, uninformed people might think that you are the victims."

"Sir, please spare us! We will never dare again next time!" The robbers began to beg for mercy again and again.

Some people even grabbed a handful of sand from the ground and sprinkled it into their eyes in order to squeeze out a few tears.

Gu Xu looked down at them and said calmly: "It is only natural to kill people to pay for their lives. Logically speaking, only by taking the lives of you pests can we maintain the normal order on this official road and the safety of other passers-by..."

The robbers were trembling and shouting "Sir, no" over and over again.

But at this time, Gu Xu changed the topic and continued: "But I am from the Exorcism Department. I am only responsible for killing ghosts, not people. If I kill you directly, it will bring a lot of trouble to me."

.

"So, let's leave it to the secular government officials to deal with it!"

After he finished speaking, Gu Xu took out a few light yellow talisman papers from his pocket and threw them towards the robbers.

The moment they were thrown out, these talismans turned into a long and thick rope, and the robbers, whether they were conscious or unconscious, were all tightly tied, and then tied to the roadside.

On the trunk of a large elm tree.

Then, Gu Xu took out the charcoal pen he carried with him and wrote a few strong and powerful characters on the trunk of the elm tree:

“Walk in the official way and do not do evil things;

"The sky net is vast, sparse and not leaking."

He felt that this sentence should have a good warning effect on passers-by on the official road in the future.

After all, the group of bandits tied to the tree serve as a warning to others.

And the robbers wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl in... It was really embarrassing to be hung on a tree in public.

The village they live in is nearby - if they are seen by an acquaintance, they might as well die.

………

Encountering robbers is just a small episode on the road.

Soon, Gu Xu got on the carriage again and continued driving towards Ju County.

On the way, he took out the pamphlet he carried with him from his pocket and wrote on it:

"Experiment time: October 11th of the 23rd year of Tianxing;

"Experimental content: First evaluation of the power of the spiritual mind spell "Solar Eclipse";

“Experimental subjects: a group of bandits (mortals);

"Experimental conclusion: This spell can sense the killing intent of nearby enemies, and can also instantly cause people to stun, or even annihilate their consciousness. It can be used as a strange move in actual combat.

"But it still has some limitations - first, this spell can only attack one target at a time; second, it consumes too much power of spiritual consciousness.
