Chapter 12: Exogenous Branches
[The book continues from the above, and the last book said that Mu Qingming, who woke up in the array, was not only ridiculed by Emperor Heli for a few words, but also saw something that made him stunned. And the battle in the small courtyard of the Mu family was over, and after the victorious dragon lockers had just gasped for breath, Miao Le hurriedly went to get tools, preparing to cut off the faces of those immortal Taoists who died at their hands, and then bring them to their own faces, pretending to be immortal Taoists, and heading to the eye of the formation. When Miao Le cut off the two faces intact, Miao Tian received the transmission of Tie Hua's thoughts, and learned that the lord of the ghost city had brought people into the city and was coming towards the small courtyard of the Mu family. So Miao Tian asked Tie Hua to unfold the enchantment as planned, enveloping the entire Spring City, and at the same time removing the small courtyard enchantment, preparing to welcome the ghost city lord. I never thought that Li Qing's three souls and seven spirits suddenly came out of the corpse and took the opportunity to fly out of the small courtyard. 】
In the small courtyard shrouded in dead silence, all the living people held their breath and kept their eyes fixed on Miaole. And Mo Han's heart suddenly felt a little nervous, and the pores of his palms couldn't help but open, oozing a few traces of cold sweat. She was really afraid that Miaole's hand would tremble, and she would cut her face.
In the small courtyard of the Mu family, there was silence again.
The slight breathing sound slowly exhaled from everyone's noses was also so clear at this moment, and it sounded a little dull.
Under the staring gaze of multiple pairs of eyes and the unmoving gaze of several focused eyes, Miaole, who took a deep breath, moved his hands together, and the two knives in his hands rotated like flying. The strong wind on the knife body dispersed, and there were more than a dozen cold lights that flashed indirectly in a breath.
And the dozen or so knives she swung out in an instant just now, not to mention Mo Han, even the other dragon lockers present, as well as the Dao Master who had a lifespan of hundreds of years and Taoism, couldn't see the trajectory of any of Miaole's knives clearly, and only saw that when she collected the knife, there was still a remnant of the Dao Dao in her hand.
Soon they all disappeared again.
Miao Le, who stopped her hand, took a long breath and put down the double knives in her hand, and then reached out and gently uncovered the face of the immortal Taoist corpse, and a human skin that was intact and as thin as a cicada's wings was easily removed by her.
The dragon lockers and the Dao people also took a long breath, and when the tense nerves relaxed, the nervous look on their faces gradually dissipated, and they cast a look of admiration and approval on Miaole.
As for Miaole's fast and ruthless knife work, even if she doesn't become a dragon locker in the future, it will be more than enough to be a butcher who kills pigs and sheep, or a veterinarian who cuts pigs and dogs. It is guaranteed that there is no knife meat as a butcher, and there will never be a major wound when you are a veterinarian and plow a pig.
Miao Le handed the face to Miao Yu and asked her to immediately clean the blood stains on it with white vinegar mixed with spirits, then picked up the double knives and walked to the other immortal Taoist and squatted down.
She took another deep breath and went under the knife again. After a while, another intact human face was cut off by her, and she handed it to Miao Yu again who came out of the kitchen with a basin of spirits and vinegar.
Miaotian, who was intently watching Miaole cut his face, was suddenly stunned, and after a flicker of sluggishness in his eyes, he suddenly remembered Tie Hua's voice in his mind, which echoed in his consciousness: "Miaotian, how is the battle situation over there?" ”。
"Uncle Tie Hua, the battle on our side is over, what about you?" Miaotian immediately used his mind to transmit the voice and asked Tie Hua, who was not in front of him.
"You're all okay, aren't you? My side is also ready, and the great monk of the ghost city has entered the city with his strange people, and will soon rush to the small courtyard of the Mu family to meet you, and you can pick them up. Immediately after, Tie Hua's voice echoed in Miaotian's mind again.
"As the young master expected, the people who came to the bloodbathed courtyard were all masters in the Immortal Dao. But none of us were hurt, but the Qi consumption was a bit large. I'm going to get ready to meet the people of the ghost city. After Miaotian used his mind to transmit the voice to Tie Hua after saying this, he walked to Mo Han's side and whispered what Tie Hua said in the other party's ear.
"Then you open the barrier and wait for them." Mo Han said with a slight chin on his head.
Miao Tian answered again, turned and strode behind the door, and pulled the latch open.
Immediately, the enchantment of the Mu family's small courtyard was removed. The dark and unclear, starry and moonless sky was revealed, and the yin wind blowing into the small courtyard from all directions, blowing the robes of all the people in the courtyard and the sound of hunting and hunting.
The feeling of coldness instantly filled every corner of the small courtyard, and the grass and trees in the courtyard swayed violently from side to side, casting shadows of trees with teeth and claws. The dust on the ground was also blown up by the frenzied wind, and scattered in the air in the courtyard.
The dust swirled rapidly with the yin wind, and Miaole, who was squinted, immediately stopped stabbing, and several other people also squinted their eyes in unison.
At this moment, a cold and rich wind swirled around Li Qing's body.
The high-speed rotating air flow brought by the strong wind was faintly visible, and when a wisp of ghost let out a sharp roar from the corpse, it was divided into seven wisps of soul energy, and flew out from the seven orifices of this corpse.
Then it converged above the corpse's head, and quickly formed a vague figure in the shape of a human, flying towards the outside of the small courtyard in the yin wind.
Before all the dragon lockers, including the Taoists watching from the upper floor, could react, the wisp of ghost had already crossed the gray tile wall and fled towards the outside of the courtyard.
"It's not good, it's a skin painting!" Miaotian, who was the first to notice that a ghost aura was flashing past him, ignored the dust in the sky, immediately widened his eyes, glanced at Li Qing's body that was gradually drying up, and opened his mouth and roared: "I'll chase it!" After that, he jumped up on tiptoe, and in an instant he landed on the door. After a momentary pause, he looked around the door for a while, and then flew towards the outside of the courtyard like a gust of wind.
It's just that in such a flash of light, Li Qing's body, which was still full just now, has completely dried up, leaving only a pair of dry skins. As for the flesh and bones wrapped in it, they had all turned into black qi in an instant, rising from the nine orifices on the skin.
The yin wind blew on his face, blowing the hair hanging from Mo Han's ears. Before she could completely recover from her shock, after glancing at the direction of Miaotian's departure, she withdrew her gaze to look at the ugly dry skin, and asked Miaobi beside her, "What is skin painting." ”。
Miaobi didn't answer in time, but strode to the side of the skin and squatted down, stretched out his hand to rummage through the skin that was dry and boring, and there were many wrinkles on every inch of skin, and after a careful look, he said slowly to Miaoyu and Miaole on the side: "It's indeed a skin painting, it's our carelessness!" ”。
As soon as the words came out, a faint look of chagrin appeared in his eyes.
"We should have thought that she led the masters of the Immortal Dao to come, and she must have a high status in this cult." An unwilling look also appeared on his face, and he slowly stood up from the ground: "How can such a character not have the art of prolonging life?" ”。
The two of you say a word to me, but Mo Han on the side still doesn't know what skin painting is.
Not to mention her, even that Taoist had heard of this kind of magic for the first time in his life. However, it is not difficult to bring up from the dialogue between Miaobi and Miaole that this magic seems to be able to prolong the life of the caster.
"Skin painting, a very old technique." After staring at the shriveled human skin in a daze for a moment, Miao Le raised her eyes to look at Mo Han with a puzzled face, and gave her a simple explanation: "This method can collect the three souls and seven souls of the caster when the caster's body dies, and then use a method similar to snatching to inject the three souls and seven spirits into a complete human skin that has been cut off for only seven days, and the seven spirits will then turn into flesh and blood, maintaining the physiological functions of this person." From then on, he was reborn as a living person who was basically no different from ordinary people; In addition to being able to survive without eating or drinking whole grains, the casters who perform the skin painting technique are really no different from ordinary people. ”。
Miaole, who sighed lightly, spread his hands a little more unwillingly, and said helplessly: "So we can't see it, it's really careless." ”。
"I see." Hearing this, Mo Han nodded thoughtfully.
But after thinking about it for a while, Mo Han thought that the other party must have been waiting for them to remove the barrier before unlocking the skin painting technique and then escaping.
At the same time, Miao Le said: "I hope that Miao Tian, who is the best at tracking us, can solve this extraneous branch before her three souls and seven spirits rush to the formation to report the news." ”。
After speaking, she picked up her twin knives and walked over to the corpse of another immortal Taoist and crouched down, ready to continue cutting the faces of her opponents.
And Mo Han continued to stare at the shriveled human skin that no longer exuded black gas, and pondered.
Soon, she noticed a problem, that is, the blood on the human skin, as well as the blood stains that had spilled on the ground around it as long as it had gushed out of this human skin, had turned into black qi in a short period of time, and dissipated with the yin wind that filled the courtyard.
A fine light flashed in Mo Han's eyes, and he pulled the wonderful pen to his side, and asked thoughtfully: "If, as Sister Miaole said, the flesh and skin under that skin bag were all transformed by the seven spirits that escaped from the ghost, then I stabbed her with a hairpin a few times, almost emptying her blood, is this ghost also damaged?" ”。
"When you just made a move, did you inject luck into the hairpin?" Miaobi looked at Mo Han's eyes, and a little joy appeared.
If Fang Cai Mo Han injected True Qi into the hosta during the attack, the attack on Li Qing would definitely damage her soul.
In this way, even if Mo Han had just learned to refine Qi for a short time, even if Li Qing's soul escaped from the small courtyard first, then the severe pain that kept coming from her soul would make her unable to run faster if she wanted to.
Then Miaotian can definitely catch up with the other party, and in the case of using the concealment spell to hide the figure, the god unknowingly kills that ghost; Naturally, there are no extraneous branches, and the original plan can continue without changing.
But in the next second, Mo Han, who was thinking about it a little, shook his head like a merchant's drum: "I forgot about it for a while, so I didn't have luck." ”。
The joy that appeared in the eyes of the wonderful pen was replaced by a little loss in the blink of an eye.
"The damage is negligible." Miaobi also spread his hands a little helplessly, and after seeing Mo Han's face showing a little guilt in a long voice, he said with relief: "Don't worry, Miaotian's tracking technique is unique in the world, and the speed is also extremely fast, and there are no more than ten demons and demons who can outrun him, and it is expected that the ghost will not escape his palm." ”。
As soon as these words came out, Mo Han was also a little relieved, and looked in the direction where the ghost and Miaotian had left.
"I hope nothing happens about it." Mo Han's whisper resounded in the night wind.
Will Li Qing be able to escape? Will the Dragonlocker's plan be aborted as a result? Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
