Volume 1, Ghost City of the Bone Forest_Chapter 354, Face Man
The world is so big, there are naturally many weirdos. But this is the first time I've seen a weird guy with a mouth on the back of his head. One person, two voices, indicating that both mouths are real.
"Demon or Earth Beast?"
I asked.
"Boy, we didn't go looking for you, and you came to us first? It saves a lot of trouble, leave the invitation, or it will kill you. ”
As he spoke, a thick flame erupted from his mouth.
After thinking about it, I laughed and said, "I heard that in the Western Han Dynasty, there was a kind of earth beast that was introduced into our country along the Silk Road, called 'Noodle Man'. It is said that when some people die, their face falls off, and the shed face is picked up by the imps of the underworld and worn on the face to play with. When you get tired of playing, throw it away again, or give it to another imp. If you can wear your face many times by the little ghost, you will be seriously affected by the yin qi and eventually turn into an earth beast. They disguise themselves as ordinary masks, and when a curious child picks them up and puts them on, they stick to the child's face and can't take them off. In ancient times, people had longer hair, so the 'noodle man' would hide himself on the back of the child's head, eat and live with the child, and grow up together. But the voice was the same as it was. After a long time, the child will never be able to pick up the 'noodle man' again when he grows up. However, the 'noodle man' who has absorbed the popularity and yin energy can swallow the flames to protect himself. However, by the time of the Yuan Dynasty, this earth beast called the 'Face Man' had never been found again. However, the world is so big that there are always exceptions. You're the 'noodle man', aren't you? ”
I snorted coldly, pushed forward with my right hand, and the water vapor around me converged, covering my palm with a thick mist, and when I touched the flames, it couldn't hurt my skin for half a minute. I took a few steps forward, rushed to the front of the "noodle man", and grabbed its neck with my outstretched hand.
"Ah...... Ah......h
The "face man" who was choked by me couldn't make a sound, let alone spit out a trace of flames, and the people around wanted to surround him to do it, but when he saw me raise my other hand, a red flame burned on his arm, and the other three people, including Lin Jiaoyang, were scared and didn't dare to move.
"Don't worry about Lao Tzu's invitation, this time I will teach you a lesson, and if you want to attack us, Lao Tzu will kill you!"
As soon as the words fell, the flame in his hand suddenly exploded, and Lin Jiaoyang and the others, who were startled, retreated again and again, and hurriedly said: "Brother, don't be angry, it's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!" ”
I let go of my hand, the "noodle man" coughed repeatedly, the flame on my hand went out, I turned around and opened the door in the middle of the train, and walked towards the box. I heard the "noodle man" behind me shout at me in a hoarse voice, "Brother, why don't you give me a name." ”
I lit a cigarette, turned around and said, "Ba Xiaoshan." ”
The faces of the four changed again, and the "face man" shouted: "Are you the Ba Xiaoshan who defeated the evil fire Yun?" ”
"Exactly."
I nodded, didn't say anything more, and walked back to the box.
The movement just now was a little loud, which had already alarmed the fat man, and when they saw me coming in, they hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"It's okay, it's a little weird, but it's not a master. I've taught you a lesson, you go back to sleep, I don't think they'll come back to find trouble. ”
As I spoke, I snuffed out the cigarette in my hand and was about to sit on the bed. I didn't expect the box door to be knocked again, and the little one standing on the bed frame at the door said with a smile: "Uncle, it's the four people just now." ”
I was stunned, I just taught them a lesson, why are you still bothering me? Are you really not afraid of death? When I walked to the door of the box, I opened the door, but I didn't see anyone, only heard four voices shouting in unison: "Please help my brother!" ”
Following the sound and looking down, I saw that these four people were all kneeling on the ground, the four heads were on the ground, and the shouts were very loud, and many people in the surrounding boxes poked their heads out to look.
I hurriedly said, "Come in first, don't kneel at the door!" ”
For the first time in my life, I received a big gift inexplicably, and after the four people walked in, they stood at the door, I closed the door, and Zhong Yong and the fat man looked over.
The "noodle man" thought for a while and said, "Big brother, we have something to ask for." ”
"Stop! I'm not your big brother, and I don't want to have anything to do with you. So, don't give me nonsense. ”
I really don't want to have anything to do with these people on the rivers and lakes, who knows if they are setting up a trap again.
"Big brother, as long as you can help us with this, the four of us will pay off your debts as cattle and horses for the rest of our lives." It was Lin Jiaoyang who spoke this time, and he had to kneel down again as he spoke.
I frowned and shouted, "Don't fucking kneel, I can't afford your big gifts, let's talk about what's going on first?" ”
"That's right, our brothers were originally bastards on the rivers and lakes." It was the "Noodle Man" who spoke: "I was born with a strange face, as you said, I am a 'Noodle Man' with a second face growing on my head. But fortunately, there is a group of brothers who have played since childhood, and there is a particularly well-behaved sister. So even if normal people see me as a monster, it's not unfortunate. And this face attached to me when I was a child actually has a good relationship with me......"
Before he finished speaking, the "noodle man" snorted: "Whoever has a good relationship with you will swallow your soul one day." ”
This kind of quarrel looks quite funny, and it is really possible to quarrel with yourself.
"This second face of mine has the ability, so I took the big guy and my sister to mix in the circle. We opened a small shop in our hometown, and often sold some hunted earth beasts or found treasures, and my sister was in charge of the business. Although life is not very good, there is no worry about food and clothing. But last year, on my sister's birthday, I rushed home with a couple of brothers to celebrate her birthday. But because of the delay in the trip, it was already evening when I got home. When I entered the door, I saw several big men grabbing my sister and dragging her out. We immediately stepped forward to make a move, but the other party was very capable, and several of us were beaten badly. I watched my sister be kidnapped......"
This thing sounded strange, I didn't interject, the "noodle man" paused and said: "We called the police, but the local police comrades have investigated for a long time and there is no news." It's not entirely without clues, though. When I was at home, I found a golden button in the middle of the table. It is a button with a particularly elaborate workmanship and a very strange pattern. At first glance, it was not our own property, but I found out after inquiring about it on the road with this button. This button is a token of the Fortress faction. And only the elite disciples of the Wind Bone Sect could wear similar buttons. ”
I haven't heard of the Fenggu faction, I looked up at Zhong Yong, and Brother Yong answered: "The Fenggu faction in the city is a relatively old faction in the circle. It was probably established in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and it has a history of more than 100 years now. However, it is not particularly large, if you compare, its power is about a little smaller than that of the Ling family, which is equivalent to the level of two-thirds of the Ling family. There are three or four hundred disciples, and there are many external industries in southwest China. It is mainly known for the method of wind control, and it is said that the ancestor of the wind bone faction can step on the lotus leaf and float up more than ten meters in the air and then slowly fall, which is considered to be capable. ”
I nodded, and then asked, "So, have you gone to the Wind Bone Sect to ask?" ”
"Go, my brothers all went to Disaster City, but the people are powerful, we are just small people, and they don't pay attention to us at all. Later, we settled in the city of Difficulty, and by chance, an informant I had helped in the past said that the wind and bones were secretly tired. I heard that some beautiful women with spiritual roots will be arrested and sold to some evil ways in the rivers and lakes. I suspect my sister was caught by them! So, as a last resort, we tried our best to catch a disciple of the same faction. He said it did, but I don't know if my sister was among them. It's a pity that this matter is still known to the Fenggu faction. They sent hitmen to hunt us down for almost a year. This year, in the ghost town of Sanjiang, we heard that the high-level leaders of the Fenggu faction are going to participate. So we wanted to steal a few more invitations and sell them to redeem my sister. But the people who have invitations are all masters, and so far we haven't gotten any of them. If...... If you can help us get my sister back, we'll be like cows and horses, no different! ”
As he spoke, several people knelt down again.
