Chapter 177: The wind is sluggish and the water is cold
Did the corpse refiner run out on his own, or was the old man let him go?
Did he come to the ghost market by himself, or did he come with the old man?
All my thoughts were instantly focused on the corpse refiner, and my steps became faster, and I really wanted to squeeze to the front to grab him and ask him.
Hu Qichen dragged me and didn't let me squeeze forward, and his powerful arms circled my shoulders, holding me in his arms, protecting me from colliding with the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods around me.
"Let's hurry up and lean over to the corpse refiner." I said anxiously, my eyes not taking off the refiner for a moment.
"Do you want to get close to him and make a move to expose yourself, or do you want to go up and fight him right now and expose yourself?" Hu Qichen whispered to me close to my ear, "Besides, are you sure that the corpse refiner you see is a real corpse refiner?" ”
I was stunned for a moment, and then I glanced at Hu Qichen for a moment, and I was indeed unsure in my heart, what if this corpse refiner was specially made by the leather painter to disturb our vision?
"But if he was really wrong, from my eyes, I would be uncomfortable." I have some grievances, and I wish I could be like Sun Wukong and divide seventy-two clones.
Hu Qichen complained: "So I didn't plan to bring you here, you are too impulsive, you are a little better, especially Qian Mengmeng, she is a bomb, she can ...... at any time Broken! ”
Hu Qichen suddenly changed his words, and I had already seen what he saw, so I hurriedly moved forward, because Qian Mengmeng didn't know when he also found the corpse refiner, and Hu Shaoyang had already moved behind the corpse refiner.
She will become like this, it is thanks to the corpse refiner, this will be a narrow road, and her eyes will be red, if this girl makes trouble, it will be miserable.
We were two or three meters away from her, but there was a crowd in the middle, and everyone was talking about it, and it was not easy to scream.
I watched Qian Mengmeng angrily approach the corpse refiner, Hu Shaoyang dragged her behind, and just when she jumped up to attack the corpse refiner, she suddenly stopped, and the breath in my throat instantly fell, and my heart fluttered.
Immediately afterwards, it was Hu Shaoyang who dragged Qian Mengmeng aside, and Qian Mengmeng seemed to be full of doubts, whispering something to Hu Shaoyang.
"Meng Meng seems to have noticed that something is wrong with the corpse refiner, she was obviously about to make a move just now, but she interrupted the attack herself." I whispered.
Hu Qichen nodded: "Don't think about it, we'll lean over and ask again." ”
At this moment, an exclamation suddenly erupted in front of him, and then, a man whose flesh and blood were blurred and who couldn't see his true face at all was slowly lifted into the air by a thick rope like a flag.
Everyone is talking, who is this man? What did you do? Why is it so unrecognizable? What kind of punishment will I be punished later?
There is also a group of people who don't care about the man's information at all, but are discussing how to rush to the front as fast as possible to grab the loot from the middle of so many people in front.
I looked at the man carefully, although even the facial features on his face were blurred, but judging from the shape and skin, this person was not from our side, and my heart was settled.
"Uncle Xu doesn't know where he is now." I wandered around, looking for Xu Fu's figure, such a big thing happened here, he shouldn't still stay in the ghost fragrance house and didn't come out.
At this time, Hu Shaoyang took Qian Mengmeng and retreated, and we approached them, finally converged, and then withdrew outside the crowd together.
Qian Mengmeng immediately dragged me and said, "Peng Peng, did you see the man wearing a hat in front of you just now?" ”
"See, that's the corpse refiner, I saw you approaching him, and it seems that something is wrong, right?" I asked.
Qian Mengmeng nodded immediately: "I have a grudge against this guy, when I saw him, my teeth were itching, and I really wanted to bite off his neck, but when I got close to him, guess what I found?" ”
"What?" I asked.
"That's a dummy." Qian Mengmeng is very sure, "You should remember that the corpse refiner has appeared many times, and he can transform into a human form in the form of a cloud of black gas, but he does not have a real body, but when I approached him today, I found that his body was real, but when I got closer and looked closely, I could see the lines on the skin, like some kind of ......."
Qian Mengmeng couldn't describe it for a while, and I blurted out: "Is it like ginseng skin?" ”
"Yes, ginseng, it's like dried ginseng." Qian Mengmeng hurriedly responded, and then said strangely, "How do you know it's ginseng?" ”
I smiled: "Last time in Jiangcheng, the skinpainter pretended to be Hu Qichen to deceive me, and then he took out a ginseng essence, which is very spiritual, maybe the skinpainter has one." ”
I was slightly disappointed, according to the clues provided by Qian Mengmeng, the corpse refiner was the one who used ginseng essence to deceive us, not the real corpse refiner.
"Looks like you guessed right, we almost fell for it." I looked at Hu Qichen and said.
Hu Qichen frowned: "Something is wrong, if it is really a leather painter dressed as a corpse refiner, they can't use ginseng essence to dress up, after all, a leather painter will not allow his work to have such a big flaw, and he was recognized by Qian Mengmeng at a glance, don't you think it's too hasty?" ”
Hu Qichen's words do make sense, the profession of a leather painter is to hide, and even the level of individuals in the organization is arranged according to the level of concealment means, and they will not destroy their own signboards.
"So, what's going on with this corpse refiner?" I can't figure it out.
Hu Qichen touched his chin and speculated: "Last time in Widow's Ditch, the corpse refiner was seriously injured by me, and his own spirit body was already unstable, and he was later taken away by the old man, maybe the old man used ginseng essence to make him a body that he could attach to in order to keep him." ”
"Yes, I think that's a little bit more convincing." Qian Mengmeng immediately agreed.
We were guessing here, and suddenly there was a sound of rushing to the sky and the ground in front of me, I looked up, Hu Qichen covered my eyes, Qian Mengmeng screamed, and when I finally pulled Hu Qichen's hand away, I saw that everyone in front of me was scrambling, and the guy who was hanging in the air was gone.
Qian Mengmeng retched for a while, Hu Shaoyang patted her on the back, and it took a while to ease up: "It's too terrifying, it's too cruel, how did you do it, it's like a goddess scattering flowers, a person becomes a fragment in an instant......"
I want to vomit what Qian Mengmeng said.
At this moment, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure, and my figure was stunned.
He was standing not far from my left front, and he was also looking in our direction, I immediately walked that way, and Hu Qichen followed closely: "Peng Peng, don't go over." ”
"That's the old man of Yizhuang, he really came to the ghost market." I pushed Hu Qichen away and said, "Look, the corpse refiner is standing behind him, the corpse refiner is real, and the old man must be real." ”
Hu Qichen just didn't let go: "You stay here, I'll go over to explore the truth first." ”
"Let's go over together, I'll be careful, and if I find something wrong, we'll withdraw immediately." I insisted.
Hu Qichen had to take me over, and in the crowd, Liu Ye and the others were also paying attention to our side, and when they got closer, the old man said lightly: "You shouldn't come here." ”
"I'm going to save my grandma, uncle, the person who captured my grandma should be your enemy, will you help me, right?" I asked directly, because I knew that this uncle was not a patient person.
The old man shook his head: "I will avenge my revenge myself, and your affairs have nothing to do with me." ”
"We have a common enemy, and you said you owe us a favor, so now I beg you to help me save my grandmother, is that okay?" It's not easy to meet the elderly, and I don't want to miss this opportunity.
The old man glanced at me: "I will repay the favors I owe, but I will only repay one person's favors, you, or him?" ”
The old man's eyes turned back and forth between me and Hu Qichen and asked.
I'm a little stunned, whether it's me or Hu Qichen, isn't it just one thing? Do you want to be so clear? Hu Qichen had already answered: "Then me, I'll be with you." ”
The old man said lightly: "Are you sure?" As far as I know, what he wants most now is you, and it's likely that you won't be able to come back. ”
"You think I'm going to be scared?" Hu Qichen asked rhetorically.
"I'm afraid." I interjected, "Hu Qichen, I'll go, you stay and do the rescue work." ”
Hu Qichen glanced at the old man again, and suddenly smiled at me: "Can your ability be stronger than mine?" Besides, his identity is over there, and the Ghost Fragrance House is his territory, if he and I can't save your grandmother, do you think we still have hope? Go to Liu Ye's side and wait for us, it will be soon. ”
"Don't bother, I don't have much time, who goes, make a decision immediately, otherwise I won't wait for anyone." The old man continued to urge.
Hu Qichen touched my head: "Go, wait for me to come back." ”
After speaking, Hu Qichen turned around and walked with the old man, the old man had no ink, and watched them slowly walk towards the south, and in the southernmost part, a magnificent octagonal building stood on a high place, which was the ghost fragrance residence.
Liu Ye and they leaned over, and all of us followed Hu Qichen, and at that moment, I didn't know why, I suddenly thought of a sentence: The wind is sluggish and the water is cold......
"No, look, Xu Fu!" Liu Zhen shouted, and everyone ran in the direction of Hu Qichen at the same time, because just in front of them, Xu Fu suddenly appeared with a person, who was that person not an old man?
At the same time, two old men appeared, one of them must be fake, no matter which one is fake, Hu Qichen is extremely dangerous at the moment, after all, the big boss of the leather painter wants Hu Qichen!
And at the same time that Xu Fu and the others appeared, Hu Qichen instantly bounced, turned into a nine-tailed fox, and jumped onto the roof on the side without the slightest hesitation.
He obviously didn't fully believe the old man who talked to us at the beginning, but he couldn't tell the truth from the fake for a while, so he insisted on following the old man himself, he was afraid that I would be fooled!
The situation suddenly became tense, and the crowd that happened to be lively also retreated, and from the back of the house, a group of black-clothed people appeared from all directions in an instant, surrounding us.
I stared at the two identical old men, constantly comparing and distinguishing, trying to find out the difference between them, to confirm the authenticity, but I found that they were like twins, there was no obvious difference.
The only thing that can be used as a reference is the side where Xu Fu is standing, and the old man who came later may be real at any time, but when the old man here talked to us just now, he showed indifference and rejection of people thousands of miles away, which made me feel like he was real.
I glanced at Hu Qichen on the roof, he jumped, it was supposed to occupy a favorable geographical location, but in the end this is still the territory of the leather painter, he has not stayed on it for a while, and suddenly a net is set up behind him, the net is full of shiny rivets, once it hits, it will be pierced into a hedgehog.
"Second brother, I didn't expect that I haven't seen you for so many years, and you remember my appearance so well." The old man beside Xu Fu suddenly spoke.
As soon as the words fell, the old man's hand beside the corpse refiner waved slightly, and the net head went down towards Hu Qichen, here, Liu Ye turned into a huge snake tail, Hu Qichen's tail instantly tied the snake tail, Liu Ye forcefully took it, and when he brought it down from the roof, he waved it fiercely in the direction of the corpse refiner.
Just one action, let's make sure that this one next to the corpse refiner is the leader of the leather painter, a fake old man, and he is the second brother of the old man.
The old man intends to negotiate, but obviously the painter is unwilling, his goal is very clear, that is, Hu Qichen, and ignore everything else.
One blow missed, Liu Ye rolled Hu Qichen back to us safely, and the leather painter turned his face and attacked us, we turned around to run, but we didn't know when there were several more thistles behind us.
We were now standing in the middle of two rows of shops, full of houses in the east and west, and the roofs were covered with riveted nets, needless to say that these nets were specially made, and behind them were also thistles, and behind them, thirty or forty men in black were waiting.
Heaven and earth are in the net, and now unless we escape from the earth, we will not be able to escape at all.
"From the first step you stepped into the ghost market, you are destined to not be able to escape, in order to lure you here, I don't hesitate to use my clerk as an introduction, it's really not easy." The leatherman spoke suddenly, his voice hoarse and unpleasant, and it was clear that he felt that he had won the battle.
"The one that was broken into pieces just now turned out to be the clerk of the Ghost Fragrance House? You're the devil! Qian Mengmeng was haunted by the previous scene and complained loudly.
The leather painter sneered: "Little widow, I tried my best to train you, but in the end you escaped, but it's not too late, you can stay with me from now on, I will definitely train you into the most perfect work." ”
"Phew, you're the little widow, your whole family is a little widow!" Qian Mengmeng said angrily.
The leather painter disagreed: "Don't refuse, to be honest, do you feel that you are in a much better state now than you were before when you were powerless?" Follow me, I will liberate your nature and make you feel more refreshed. ”
Qian Mengmeng was a little frightened at this time, and slowly retreated behind Hu Shaoyang: "Devil! ”
"Hahahaha, devil, this word is really charming." The leatherman suddenly turned around and pointed to the old man who had not moved, "What am I before I become a devil?" I am his shadow! He secretly cultivated me, and he didn't even give me a name, what do you call me? 0? I'm a walk around the world, and I just deserve to be called a circle?
Is this fair to me? I'm so good that I can do all the tasks perfectly in any shape, but why can I only exist as a stand-in?
We are the same mother, I was only born two minutes later than him, but my personality is completely different!
Look at my face, is this my face? ”
The leatherman tore off his own skin, revealing a hideous face, black, uneven, and without facial features.
"I should have looked like that, but I can't really have such a face in my life!" The leather painter said viciously, "But it doesn't matter, I will create such a face myself, and even, I can give myself the identity I want, look, haven't I done a good job in the past few decades?" ”
The old man sighed: "Second brother, don't be obsessed anymore, you will completely ruin yourself." ”
"Shut up! You are the one who ruined me! The skinpainter roared, "If you hadn't been treating me as a shadow and making me see the light of day, I wouldn't have rebelled back then, if you hadn't sealed my true body back then, I wouldn't have to go so hard to catch the Yin Fox now, and now I'm done, what else do you have to do?" Big brother, you go and die! ”
As soon as the leather painter's voice fell, dozens of black-clothed people instantly ran out of the ghost fragrance residence, surrounding the old man and Xu Fu.
At that time, my heart was actually a little cold, this is in the ghost market, not in Changbai Mountain, there are very few people we can mobilize, and we don't know how many minions the painter organization has.
Now that we are completely controlled, and I have not been able to see my grandmother until now, I can't protect myself, and it seems that saving my grandmother has become a luxury.
It can be said that it was wrong for us to enter the ghost market to try it, Hu Qichen decided to come with the determination to die, and we followed up, which undoubtedly made him have concerns.
"Big brother, now, will you hand over my true body yourself, or will I beat you half to death first, and then return my real body?" The painter's tone was full of arrogance.
The old man was calm from beginning to end: "Second brother, do you think you won?" ”
"And what do you say?" The leather painter opened his arms, and the momentum seemed to be the Ninety-Five Emperor inspecting the country he had laid down, "In the past few decades, I have carefully trained my team of leather painters, for this day, now this is my territory, do you think you can escape from the palm of my hand?" ”
The old man smiled: "Yes, you have replaced me, in the past few decades, I have already firmly grasped everything that belongs to me in my own hands, I have become a loner, and even my apprentices have become your minions." ”
The leatherman glanced at the corpse refiner, and then took out a small red lacquer coffin from his arms, wasn't that the same one that the old man asked me to use to attract the corpse refiner?
"Look, this red lacquer coffin is in my hands now, as long as you tell me the spell to open the red lacquer coffin, I can leave you a whole corpse." The leather painter played with the red lacquer coffin in his hand, and said as if benevolently.
"What if I don't say it?" The old man asked rhetorically, "Don't forget, your soul has been away from your real body for too long and too long, in order to ensure that your soul does not disperse, how many immoral things you have done are recorded by the heavens, as long as the red lacquer coffin is not opened for a day, you will not be able to resist the thunder and fire tribulation, and in the end you can only turn into a puddle of pus." ”
"Big brother, you forgot, now the Yin Fox is already in my bag, and you are the same." The leatherman was no longer patient, and with a wave of his hand, the black-clothed men in all directions immediately moved, and nets came straight towards us, and there was no chance to resist.
Those nets are soaked in the thick of the best realgar, and the rivet material is also specially made, once it is caught, the consequences are unimaginable.
At the same time as the man in black moved, the old man suddenly laughed twice, and the corpse refiner beside the leather painter seemed to have received some kind of signal, and his momentum changed and rushed towards our direction.
He was moving very fast, and in the blink of an eye he was already in front of us, and by that time the rivet net had already fallen, and he rushed backwards against the rivet net against the wall on one side.
The change happened too quickly, and by the time we reflected it, the rivet net had already wrapped the body of the refiner and landed on the ground, and the corpse refiner was motionless, as if he was dead, and after a while, a yellow liquid seeped out, and the ginseng essence that was the body of the corpse refiner turned into a puddle of pus and disappeared.
The leatherman looked back at the old man suddenly, the old man smiled, and with a wave of his hand, a ginseng flew up, and there was immediately another corpse refiner beside him.
The skinpainter's eyes widened with anger, obviously he didn't expect his net to be broken like this!
"You betrayed me!" The Leather Painter yelled at the corpse refiner.
The old man smiled: "He was originally my disciple, he was deceived by you and did something wrong, I can't let him be wrong again and again, second brother, I still say the same thing, it's too late to turn back now." ”
"Dreaming!" The leatherman gave the order again, and several rivet nets fell at the same time, and at the same moment, he turned into a black gas and came straight towards Hu Qichen.
Hu Qichen greeted him, the Nine-Tails shuttled through the black smoke, Liu Ye followed, and we fought against the man in black.
The old man always stood in place, watching the battle with cold eyes, as if he was waiting for something.
I leaned towards the old man's side as I fought, and I wanted to beg him to help me find my grandmother and save her.
The old man is definitely capable of controlling the overall situation, but he has his own plans in his heart, as if he doesn't want to finish off the leatherman by himself.
But I'm different, I can't wait to be a leather painter, and if it weren't for him, my life wouldn't be so turbulent.
Before I could get close to the old man, the sky in the ghost market suddenly darkened, and I don't know where the bell rang one by one in my heart.
Boom!
Boom!
The quaint bell rang twice, it was already two o'clock in the night, and we had to leave the ghost market before three o'clock, and no one knew what the ghost market would be like after three o'clock.
