Chapter 32: On the Night of the Full Moon, the Enemy with a Blade!
Huang Pizi took me home, it was the night of the full moon, he did not delay, in the middle of the courtyard where the moon could shine, mixed with chicken blood glutinous rice water, drew a red charm, I don't understand what it is, but I can also feel the faint yin qi from it.
"The yin qi on your body has been dissipated, and I can only use these things to create an illusion that makes you look like you have reached the time when the yin qi is at its strongest, and it is the most convenient to devour." He gave me a brief explanation and sat me down in the middle of the spell while he poured the rest of the glutinous rice water down my head.
The icy and fishy liquid made me shiver instantly, that is, at this moment, I suddenly felt that the temperature around me had plummeted, it should have been a sultry summer night, but now it was like entering the late autumn season, and I shivered with cold.
"Wang Chen, you have to remember that no matter what I do next, I am acting, you don't have to be afraid." As if he was afraid that I would not cooperate with him because of fear, Huang Pizi explained again before the action began. I nodded, feeling a little warm in my heart for some reason.
Seeing that I understood, the yellow skin did not delay, yellow hair immediately appeared on his face, and his ears gradually became sharper, slowly moving from their original position to the top of his head. A black beard appeared on the side of his mouth, and I could still see the cold light of the fangs at the corners of his mouth when he opened his mouth to gasp...... The hands and feet began to turn into sharp claws, and a long tail grew behind him.
Gradually, he lost his human form and began to look more and more like the way I first met him. It was completely false to say that he was not afraid, especially the fierceness in his eyes did not seem to be a fraud at all, and I couldn't help but think of the scene when I first met him, and he said that I owed him forty years of Taoism.
Still, as he bared his fangs and lunged at me, I chose to remain motionless, acting as if I had been completely controlled by him, as we had agreed before.
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to me, and could even smell the fishy smell coming from his mouth, I still controlled myself and sat motionless.
"Good you yellow goblin! I've worked so hard to raise my body for so long, can you occupy it?! Just when the yellow skin was really about to bite me, Lu Qing's angry voice sounded out of thin air. Just as his voice sounded, Huang Pizi turned around sharply, grabbed me by the shoulder, and forcibly pulled me away from my original position and threw me aside.
I only heard a loud bang, and when I opened my eyes, I saw Lu Qing, dressed in a black cloth, standing where I had just sit, looking at us with unkind eyes.
He wasn't so tightly wrapped today, so I could see pus dripping down his clothes, giving off a disgusting stench, and every time he moved, a piece of carrion fell from under the black cloth and fell to the ground, and I could see that the piece of meat was already crawling with white maggots. It is not so much that Lu Qing is a person now, but that he is a corpse that is decomposing while walking.
Seeing that I was not in a coma, he immediately showed a hideous expression and wanted to pounce. Lu Qing's speed was very fast, and Huang Pizi's speed was faster than him, seeing that Lu Qing was about to pounce in front of me, he raised his hand violently and threw a money net that had been exposed to the sun for a whole day and hung copper coins towards Lu Qing.
This net was specially borrowed by us from Officer Wang, it is said that it is usually used by the police station to catch stray wild dogs, it is quite strong, and ordinary people can't struggle when they are trapped, not to mention that this net has also been moved by Huang Pizi, specially used to deal with Lu Qing.
Lu Qing was completely unprepared, and was suddenly covered with a sturdy knot, and the moment the net covered his body, I saw bursts of white smoke coming out of Lu Qing's body, the smell could be said to be foul smell, and he himself was extremely painful, constantly struggling in the net, but the net was getting tighter and tighter, where could he break free?
"Wang Chen, quickly trap him with that new thing you learned!" Seeing this, Huang Pizi turned his head and shouted at me.
I didn't dare to delay, so I hurriedly gestured with both hands and silently recited the incantation in my heart. Fortunately, after this time, I have become quite proficient in the mastery of the protective shield. It didn't take much effort. A protective shield that is not too big or too small just right buckles the road in the middle.
"This old thing, you can be considered to have caught him!" Seeing that Lu Qing was trapped by the protective shield, Huang Pizi sighed with relief.
"Speaking of which, there are some things I've wanted to ask for a long time, do you two know each other? And why do you always call him an old thing" Now that the crisis is temporarily lifted, I also breathed a sigh of relief and began to ask some things that I had been curious about before.
This time, Huang Pizi didn't beat around the bush anymore, and took the initiative to tell me everything about the past.
"I'll tell you, don't look at him as only thirty or forty, this old thing is a hundred years old." Huang Pizi looked at Lu Qing, who was struggling, and took a sip and continued: "I am enemies with him, he was not against me before, and he was almost killed by me, so he started the road of constantly robbing other people's bodies. He and I are actually old friends, but he somehow began to pursue some way of immortality, and he is unwilling to practice well and has to take shortcuts, and he doesn't know where he learned the vicious method, and he thinks about taking other people's bodies as his own every day. I tried to persuade him a few times, but instead of listening to him, he thought I was doing him harm, and he became an enemy. ”
Hearing this, I couldn't help but look at Lu Qing, after a violent struggle, the black cloth on his body had almost fallen off, I could see that some parts of his body had completely become white bones, as if he was also tired of struggling, he stopped moving, lying on the ground and looking at us resentfully.
"I don't know where he stole this body, I just know that it's not good, and after he uses it, he gets weaker and weaker, so he can't wait to take possession of your body. I just knew him at the beginning, and I sympathized with your family, so I chose to be your family's protector. Not long ago. I don't know how many times I've dealt with him, both openly and secretly. When he saw that I was really unwilling to let go, he started to kill people. ”
After hearing this, I took a deep breath, and looked at Lu Qing without any sympathy at all, it was hard to imagine that a person could harm others again and again just for such a thing as immortality.
"Wang Chen, apprentice, you see that I have also taught you for so many years, now that the yin qi in your body is gone, I can't hurt you anymore, you might as well let me go, I will definitely stay away from you, and I will never harm you again, how about it?" Seeing me looking at him, Lu Qing actually began to beg bitterly, and used the master-apprentice friendship between me and him as a raft. Beg me to spare him.
I turned a deaf ear to his pleas: "If you only said that you would not harm us again, then I will let you go now." Are you going to hurt others? ”
Hearing my question, Lu Qing was obviously stunned, and the voice begging for mercy disappeared, and I sneered in my heart, knowing that it was completely impossible to make him repent.
Just as I was about to go back to the house and completely hand him over to Huang Pizi to deal with, he suddenly laughed gloomily behind my back: "Wang Chen, since you said so, do you know how your grandfather died?" When he ran into the mountains, I put him in a trap and let countless rats bite him alive, gnawing him clean, leaving not even a scrap of meat...... And those relatives of yours, I killed them, your uncle, yes, your uncle, I also hacked him to death with my own hands after you left with the paper man on your back......"
