Volume 1, Ghost City of the Bone Forest_Chapter 73, Burning the Zen Room
To judge whether a painting has been handed down from the elderly, it is not only necessary to look at the pattern, technique, ink, etc., but more importantly, to see the material of the scroll. The paintings of a hundred years ago are not all painted on paper, cloth and silk, animal skin and stone bricks, all of which may leave the master's works.
I guess the material may be thick rice paper, which can burn quickly when ignited, but I'm not sure if the rice paper lit by the lantern has mana. Don't really set the monster's hair on fire at that time, but the fart is useless, then it's miserable.
However, the situation at the time didn't give me much choice either! If you want to fight, you can't be afraid of losing!
It takes about ten steps to walk from where I am standing to the front of the scroll, and these ten steps sound very close, but there are countless poisonous snakes in between, and there are monsters watching from the side, in case the yin wind comes again, I don't check for a while, and the ever-bright light goes out, then it will be really over!
Sometimes men can't think about things and hesitate. If you think too much, you will be afraid, if you are afraid, you will be cowardly, and if you coax too much, it will be over! Bloodiness can be equated with impulsiveness at some point.
Fight! Either it's dead or I'm dead!
Thinking so in his head, he slowly walked towards the scroll after protecting the lantern. The snakes avoided themselves, but the monsters, apparently aware of my intentions, had their eyes fixed on the painting, and rushed forward to get it in front of me.
It stands to reason that I should be nervous when I see this scene, but I am different, and I am a little happy. The monster came running to stop me and explained that it was scared, why was it afraid? Because my actions must have threatened it, in other words, my plan to set the scroll on fire with the lantern and burn it to death was feasible, and it was already a threat to the black-haired monster!
Race against the clock, I have to get it before I get it. Both sides are about the same distance from the scroll. I was even farther away from the scroll, with poisonous snakes on the ground in front of me. But I knew in my heart that I must not be preempted by that monster, and since I wanted to fight it thoroughly, I simply threw off my steps and rushed straight towards the picture scroll in front of me.
Ten steps away, a few seconds, but it became a terrible race!
I could feel the snake under my feet, but where was there time to care so much, just rush forward and run hard!
Stretching out his hand, there was a bit of excitement like an athlete who was about to sprint across the line, and the monster's hand also stretched out from the other side, and in a hurry, I simply threw the ever-bright lantern over, and the black-haired monster was suddenly startled, and quickly retreated to avoid the ever-bright light. This also gave me the opportunity, I dragged the painting off the wall, and the texture of the scroll was almost the same as the thick rice paper I expected. Without hesitation, he lit it on the lantern, and the flame burned along the edge of the scroll, and soon thick black smoke came out. The monster seemed to be a little frightened, and roared a few times, spewing green poisonous gas from its mouth, but its body was slamming backwards.
"Haha, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, you bullied Lao Tzu before, and now Lao Tzu is here to collect the accounts!"
Seeing the monster retreating out of fear, I couldn't help but cry out with joy.
Wielding the burning thick rice paper, I walked forward quickly, and the monster was forced into a corner by me, and there was no way to retreat. I probably looked like a social gangster who liked to throw jeans in the 80s, but I just thought it was cool and let it chase me. Let it let the snake bite me, Lao Tzu is now turning over and becoming the master!
"Run, you're fucking running!"
I shouted a few times playfully, the monster lowered its head and roared at me, and suddenly turned around and knocked on the wall, this guy was really strong, a few punches out of the wall made a "boom" sound, the whole wall was shaking, and a lot of dust was scattered on the central column.
"Whew!"
Roaring like a tiger, the monster punched the wall again, and the huge force shattered a crack in the wall, and the cold wind blew in outside, and it was trying to escape through the wall!
"Good girl, it's too strong!"
I cursed on my lips, but my heart was clear, if this monster really ran out through the wall, it would be tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain, and it would definitely retaliate against me after recovering from its injuries. This grievance must be settled here!
Waving the burning scroll in my hand, I pounced on the monster, and took out the momentum of the hero Huang Jiguang of the year, I must take down this demon!
The monster felt the astonishing heat behind him, turned around, and bared his terrible fangs at me, but I grabbed the scroll and pressed it against the monster's body. The flames rushed wildly into the monster's body, its hair, its clothes, and its exposed body burning first.
"Ah......h
The roar turned into a terrible scream at this moment, and the voice stuck in his throat tore into a terrible scream. I hurriedly stepped back with the lantern, the monster was now burned by flames, and it was hard to guarantee that it wouldn't jump off the wall at the last moment, so it was better for me to stay away from it.
The snakes around them had long been hiding in fear, and the flames soon ignited the meditation room, which was a mixture of wood and stone, and the fire jumped up to the windows and door frames, and the smoke billowed outward.
I hurriedly covered my mouth and nose with my clothes and retreated little by little. Standing in the doorway after leaving the house, the fire had already reached the roof and began to spread to other houses around it, and my actions may have destroyed this ancient temple, but at least this monster could no longer do evil.
Standing in the courtyard, the flames lit up the surrounding woods, and I coughed from the thick smoke, and the oncoming heat made my face burn. The walls and the wooden door began to make a "crackling" sound, and all of a sudden, the charred wooden door was knocked open, and the monster covered in fire rushed out, and it rushed towards me like crazy, and I hurriedly retreated, I had expected that the monster would be like a mad dog, and all I had to do now was to run, and wait for the flames to burn it!
The monster howled and screamed, and its hair was burned to the ground, revealing a terrible face, half black and half white, probably because half of its body had been scorched by the spirit of thunder. The face is full of wrinkles, there is a pair of white fangs turned outward, and the pupils in the green eyes have been dilated, in fact, this picture is really a bit of a zombie in a ghost movie I've seen, especially the pair of teeth.
I wondered if it would be a zombie, but now I'm a little more sure.
"Whew...... Whew......"
The terrible screams were mixed with a terrible roar, and the longer it burned, the more it could not hold up, slowed down noticeably, and finally stumbled in front of me.
The monster lying on the ground gasped, its body was burned to pieces, its legs were completely broken, and only the upper body was still intact.
I didn't dare to come closer, it slowly turned its head and looked at me with a strange look that seemed to be mixed with sadness and a little satisfied, like a marathon runner who had finally reached the finish line, relieved.
Breathing gradually stopped, and finally there was no movement with my eyes open. I still don't dare to step forward, who knows if this monster will do any tricks. Just then, footsteps were heard behind him.
"You've been watching?"
I don't look back to know who is behind me, and there is only Lingyan left in this temple except me. With such a big movement, how could he not appear?
"I didn't expect you to actually kill it."
Lingyu said with some surprise.
"Just lucky."
I replied casually, but my eyes fell on the monster, although the flames were still burning, but this did not prevent me from finding some treasures on the monster, such a powerful guy must have something valuable, maybe I could make a fortune for it.
However, the baby didn't find it, but saw a strange brand on the back of the monster's neck, which was a mark similar to the word "medium", but the sides were sunken inward. This is not the first time I have seen this mark, I have seen it on the white-faced monster in Xuanming Temple before.
No coincidence! Both monsters have similar markings on their bodies, and there must be some kind of connection between them. But although I saw it, I didn't say it explicitly, and it was not the time to share this kind of information with Lingyan!
"Don't look for it, it's worthless to burn it like this."
He spoke.
I stood up a little unhappily, and worked hard to catch nothing. Turning around, he asked, "What kind of monster is this?" Zombies? ”
But seeing Lingyan sneered, he replied: "This is the person who ate zombie meat." ”
