After Zhang San's first blow, the ghost did not use his damaged body to fight back desperately. This would be the ghost's biggest failure.
But this cannot be blamed on him. After all, a person who does not care about propriety, integrity, filial piety, brotherhood, loyalty and faithfulness is mostly a character who is as cowardly as a dog to the outside but as fierce as a tiger at home. It is easier to expect such a character to show backbone than to expect the women of the Jiaofangsi to be as brave as men.
At the moment when the ghost was wailing, Zhang San just adjusted his breathing slightly, and then slashed out five times with his backhand. The sword light was like a long river, and it disappeared without a trace while its source was invisible.
The first four cuts were to dismember the body, and the fifth was to behead him. If he could still speak, Zhang San might have advised him to die with the first cut. After all, at the moment of drawing the cut, Zhang San was actually aiming for the neck.
But unfortunately, it did not seize that opportunity!
It is rumored that a magic weapon with a sharp blade can kill people without shedding blood, but the thunder knife at this time obviously cannot do that. Zhang San first bends his left arm to clamp the blade, then pulls his right hand horizontally to put away the knife.
The moment the knife was sheathed, the weapon that had been rampant among the corpses not long ago had regained its original brightness.
Except for the still wriggling corpse on the ground, nothing seemed to have happened here! "It's already in this state, how can it still move? Is it because the tiger demon is not dead, or is the demon's own healing ability far beyond my imagination?"
Zhang San muttered to himself: "Sure enough, I still don't like this kind of creature!"
It’s not that Zhang San himself has a tendency to be sadistic. It’s mainly because after entering the Tao, what he sees is different from what ordinary people or monks who have not entered the Tao see.
When a person is born, his innate qi transforms into his limbs and bones. This is the natural order!
Those who obey the will of heaven will still die; those who commit great treason will have a glimmer of hope, and those who defy the will of heaven will become immortals! Regardless of whether they obey the will of heaven or are prepared to defy the will of heaven and change their fate, Zhang San will have considerable respect for them, because whether they are willing or forced to do so, they have their own moral principles in their hearts.
It is true that all living things seek to survive. Even ants try to survive, let alone other primates . But ghosts are the only ones who are so shameless and lingering on, preferring to let their souls decay over time, but are still unwilling to face death.
Once Zhang San encounters such a person, he will help the other party without hesitation. Muzan Kibutsuji is a good example.
Especially when Zhang San told him that the blue spider lily only blooms during the day, his distorted face was as funny as the waiter in "A Million Pounds", and Zhang San has never forgotten it.
After dealing with the ghost, Zhang San did not become arrogant. After all, judging from the fighting power shown by the ghost before, he did not have the ability to kill the land here.
However, after learning the news that his younger brother had died, I'm afraid that the big axe who liked to stay in the cave can't sit still anymore.
A glimpse of the whole picture can tell the whole picture. Judging from the level of the ghost, Zhang San's current strength is barely enough. He does not need to enter the dream again for the time being. After all, without the corresponding state of mind to support it, memory fusion will be a very terrifying thing.
This is just what Zhang San thought, but the people in the land temple did not think so. To them as mortals, Zhang San's behavior just now was almost the same as that of an executioner.
No, in fact, he was even more cruel than the executioner! After all, after chopping off the head, the executioner would go to the government office to receive a cane to let the resentment leave the body, but Zhang San did not feel any remorse after dismembering the student (the ghost).
Who wouldn't be terrified if they encountered such a killer?
After all, he is a member of the Dajin military. Although he has not experienced fighting in battles, he is an elite soldier who has seen blood. In terms of courage, Zhao Zhen is far beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Watching Zhang San who was about to step into the temple gate, Zhao Zhen suppressed his inner fear, tremblingly drew the goose-feather knife from his waist, and at the same time winked at Gu Xuanyan, signaling her to leave quickly.
At the moment when Zhang San drew his sword, Zhao Zhen even had such an idea. Even if he had to sleep outdoors at night and face a group of ghosts, he would not be willing to stay in the same room with such a killer during the day.
Fortunately, Gu Xuanyan and the old butler were both very knowledgeable. When the two sides were about to have a misunderstanding, Gu Xuanyan hurriedly stood up and pointed at the ghost's broken left hand and said.
"Everyone, put away your knives. Don't create any misunderstandings. The person you just killed was a ghost, not a human!"
As if she was afraid that her words were not convincing enough, Gu Xuanyan, who was dressed in plain clothes, suppressed her inner discomfort, tried to walk to the front of the crowd, and then pointed at the severed hand on the ground and said.
"This kind of ghost is called a accomplice ghost. You have all heard of this term. After being eaten by a tiger, it becomes the tiger's servant. It has a despicable character and often lures people to be eaten by the tiger. Just now, it probably came to lure us to die. This hand is the evidence!"
After Gu Xuanyan's explanation, everyone present gradually calmed down. As time went by, some other evidence was discovered one by one.
"It seems so. Just now he said there was a tiger that wanted to eat people and asked us to rescue it!"
…
"Yes, now that you mention it, I remember it now. My mother said that for this kind of ghost, men have no little finger on their left hand, and women have no little finger on their right hand. Isn't this exactly the case?"
…
Feeling that everyone was gradually letting down their guard, Gu Xuanyan breathed a sigh of relief. When it came to matters dealing with aliens, Da Jin had extremely strict laws.
If a foreigner (whether he is in the wild or appointed by the imperial court) attacks ordinary people without reason, no matter what the reason is, it is a serious crime and the maximum sentence is beheading.
If an ordinary person attacks an alien for no reason, it is better for the person in the opposition, but if the other party is an alien appointed by the court, the nature of the situation will change completely. The person who attacks will be regarded as treason and punished for treason, and his entire family will be exterminated! Now you know why the Zhengyi faction is restricted and can only operate in the Jiangxi Provincial Administration Commission. If this force becomes chaotic, ordinary people will not be able to resist unless the Jin Dynasty personally steps in to rectify the chaos.
And just now, except for Gu Xuanyan and the old butler, almost everyone present had a close call with death.
After all, he was a passionate man with lofty ideals. After realizing that he had made a mistake, the ten guards, led by Zhao Zhen, put away their swords, clasped their fists, and said to Zhang San.
"Please forgive me, sir. It's us, Meng Lang!"
"polite!"
As mentioned earlier, Zhang San always has a great liking for people who can uphold morality.
As for their identities, the title of the ruler of a country is enough, but if this bottom line is touched, Zhang San can even draw his sword and chop!
