Chapter 80: The Real Murderer Appears
This is a "sealing talisman", I thought that if this talisman paper was lost, then this guy would become a turtle in an urn.
But what people didn't expect was that although the rune paper hit the target and was properly pasted on Tauber's back, the rune light did not appear, as if it had turned into a yellow paper without any mana.
Tao Bo's arm suddenly stretched out back, as if touching his chest, twisting at an incredible angle, and easily ripped off the "sealing talisman" attached to his back.
With a creaking sound, he turned slowly, tearing the talisman to pieces with two blows, and a sinister smile appeared on his wrinkled face.
"Hey...... I'm not lying to you, there are really only two people in this village...... It's about to be eaten by me...... You two! ”
My head thudd, and the world spun around.
I've overlooked an important fact: where we are now is an illusion created by this guy, and in the illusion of nothingness, rune paper and mudras are useless!
In fact, as long as we wait for the "spirit scattering" to take effect, the illusion will not be self-defeating, and it is my choice to explore the reality of this village, but I didn't expect that the biggest mistake I made came from this.
I was unwilling, and while silently reciting the five-character proverb in my heart to stabilize my mind, my hands quickly formed a six-way change "outer lion print", and my palms were together, and I slapped it on Tao Bo's chest.
Who knew that Tao Bo didn't move, and when his body shook slightly, I felt a tingle in my wrist, like an electric shock, and I was shocked back a few steps.
At this moment, not to mention how much remorse I have in my heart, along with the remorse, is fear.
Under our gaze, in the midst of the strange laughter and creaking and cacophony of rubbing, we saw that Tauber's figure suddenly became larger, and his hands were like two vines, instantly lengthening, and grabbing at me and the fat man.
Faced with the rapidly approaching vines and the hideous Tauber, the fat man and I instinctively stepped back, and were soon cornered. In desperation, I held the lampstand in my hand and danced against the vines stretched out by Tauber.
The flames flickered, and the vines that Tauber's hands had turned into were obviously quite afraid of the firelight, and they couldn't approach it several times, and finally gradually retracted.
"You can't run, hehehehe......" With this sinister laugh, I saw his body slowly retreat, and finally stuck to the wooden wall, and quickly disappeared.
I let out a long breath, and sat on the ground with a butt bone, the fat man's face was pale, and a pair of frightened eyes kept spinning: "Xiaobai...... We...... What are we going to do? ”
To be honest, my head was a mess. The rune paper and the handprint have no effect in this illusion, and the current situation is simply a man-made knife and I am a fish.
If I want to escape, I can't think of any other countermeasures than to wait for the "spirit scatter" to take effect.
In order to reassure the fat man, I forced myself to calm down, and after thinking for a moment in confusion, I told the fat man to gather up the wood of the bed, thinking that this guy was afraid of fire, and if he could light a fire, he might be able to deal with it.
The fat man hurriedly began to collect the broken wood of the bed, and took out a lighter to light it, and soon his tone was full of despair: "Little white...... These pieces of wood are the ...... of poetry."
I was shocked and reached out to touch it, and sure enough, the wood looked like it had been fished out of the water, and it was impossible to ignite it.
The flames in the menorah were fading and it seemed that they could not hold up for long, and we were forced to start thinking about how to get out again.
"What kind of monster is this Tauber?" The fat man's voice trembled.
"It's supposed to be something to do with wood......"
I analyzed: "This village is called Lin Village, and the inn it opened is also called Taobai, and it also lied to us that the house next door is called Sister-in-law Osmanthus, all of which have a wooden word next to it." ”
"If it is related to wood, and the tree is a demon rather than a monster, then it should be a piece of wood into a fine ......"
"No wonder it's afraid of fire, it's a wood ......" The fat man looked around: "This village is full of wooden houses, then this monster is simply everywhere......"
The fat man's words lit up in my heart.
That's right, the village is full of wood. We are in the light, the monsters are in the dark, and if we run out of the village, there is a great hope of escape.
I told the fat man about the idea, and after some discussion, we unanimously decided to run outside the village.
In this way, we crept to the lampstand and cautiously walked out of the house. Fortunately, the trip went smoothly and there were no sneak attackers in the shadows.
But as soon as we reached the street, we heard the creaking sound in our ears, and as far as we could see, the puppeteers who had disappeared from the street were chasing after us in dense numbers.
Although their speed is still slow and their bodies are as stiff as zombies, the sheer number of them is still heart-wrenching.
The fat man and I turned and ran, running so fast that a gust of wind almost blew out the flames of the lampstand, and scared us both into a cold sweat.
We didn't dare to run too fast, and carefully guarded the lampstand with our hands, this flame was almost our last straw, once extinguished, the consequences were unimaginable.
Running and running, with a loud "squeak", a black shadow suddenly flashed in front of me, with a large volume, a length of seven or eight meters, and flew sideways towards me and the fat man.
"Bow your head!"
I didn't have time to think about it, and instinctively pressed the fat man's neck, and the black shadow skimmed past our scalp and slammed into the ground with a thud.
Turning around in shock, he realized that the black shadow was actually a thick wooden beam, and he didn't know that it had flown out of the house.
"Squeak...... Squeak ...... Bang dang...... Bang Dang ......"
Under the faint light of the beating lampstand, every house in the entire village seemed to have life in an instant.
One after another, beams were thrown out in front of us, blocking the road to the entrance of the village, forming a pile of heavy wooden walls.
The dense puppeteers behind him chased closer and closer, the flames in the lampstand in their hands jumped, and I found that they were wearing Taoist robes and monk's robes, either with long hair or bald heads, this turned out to be a group of old Taoist monks!
At this moment, they are slowly approaching, their bodies stiff, their faces expressionless, their bodies squeaking up and down, and the back of their necks and scalps are frivolous......
In this illusion of wood spirits, why are there so many veterans and monks? I can't figure out if all these people were killed by the wood spirits.
But how can there be any kung fu in front of me to think about it, there is a wooden wall in front of me, and a group of demons chasing after it, looking at the puppeteers getting closer and closer, I can't help but despair.
