Chapter 797: Recruiting Talents for Diamonds [189th Hundred]
The anger on the imp who ran at me was not particularly strong. If it was placed in the Central Plains, I could easily restrain him. But here, these little ghosts have an extra ruthlessness. Maybe it's because this land is so wild, this little ghost is very violent. It gives people a feeling of not being afraid of death.
It's this kind of momentum that doesn't care about a qiΔ. It made me a little nervous.
But nervousness is nervousness, after so much has happened, I took off the big knife, swung the knife and attacked, every step was orderly. Then, there was a bang. The big knife smashed into the imp.
I felt a burst of yin qi rushing over my face, and this yin qi was like a cold knife, making my face a little numb.
The imp was cut in half by me, and soon his soul was gone. I saw him disappear into heaven and earth, and I couldn't bear it.
I've caught a lot of ghosts, but I haven't killed them a few times. Some people are not afraid of death when they are alive. After some ghosts die, they are not afraid of their souls scattered. I finally got to see it today.
Mr. Lu had already dealt with the other ghost. The two of us shot neatly. The surrounding shadows shook and hid in the woods.
The puppet acted as our guide and instructed us, "Let's go to Songcheng at this time." After entering Songcheng, there is still a glimmer of life. β
The puppet said "a glimmer of life", not "I will be safe from now on", which made me think: Is it still dangerous to enter Songcheng?
But I don't have time to ask about that. The puppet commanded us as he walked. Don't go too fast, too fast and you'll look flustered. Try to pretend to be a superior person, and put your hands behind your back.
We really put our hands behind our backs and walked one after another, like idlers playing in the mountains and rivers.
And the puppet bent down and made a slave appearance. His appearance is naturally made for all the ghosts, which means that I am a powerful ghost, and I have been subdued by these people. You better not touch this mold.
We walked a few hundred steps safe and sound. Suddenly, there was a little bit of fire around me.
The puppet said nervously, "We seem to be in trouble." β
These fires surrounded us in all directions. At the beginning, there was a gap between each other, and later. This gap is getting smaller and smaller, almost becoming an aperture. If viewed from the air, it looks like a sparkling ring.
We're surrounded.
Xue Qian shouted, "Mr. Lu, where is your Dao talisman, take it out quickly." β
Mr. Lu hesitated for a while, but still took out the Dao talisman. He sighed and said, "A true Dao master will not use the Dao Talisman. I took out this charm, of course, I can save my life for a while, but those little ghosts are even more unscrupulous. β
Although Mr. Lu said this, we still put the Dao Talisman on our bodies.
The puppet looked at us enviously and said, "If I had a body, I would definitely have one." It's a pity that I'm a ghost. "Estimate the pond pound skills.
Mr. Lu pointed to the sewing kit in his hand and said, "You are invited by us, and I have to be responsible for your safety, otherwise, you are hiding in this sewing kit?" β
The puppet shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Several of you have never been here. Whatever happens for you, I'll have to deal with it for you, how can I hide it in this sewing kit? β
The encirclement around us is shrinking. Finally, I saw that it was not imps that surrounded us, but living people, all with candles in their hands.
I couldn't help but be overjoyed, and called out to them: "Folks, we are trapped by the little ghost, you can help us." β
The people stood still, as if they hadn't heard me. And a woman's voice sounded from behind: "A ghost is a ghost, why add a small word?" β
The woman's voice was very good, but there was a cold aura in her voice.
After a few seconds, those holding candles parted left and right. Four people came out carrying a sedan chair. The sedan chair was obviously papier-mΓ’chΓ©, and there were no sedan curtains.
There was a female ghost sitting in the sedan chair, looking at us with a flat face.
Xue Qian swallowed and foamed at the mouth and said, "What's the situation." These people, and this ghost, are in the same group? β
The puppet looked back at us and muttered, "I don't know." β
He arched his hand to the female ghost and said with a dry smile: "The four of us entered the mountains and forests by mistake. Offended everyone, can you let us go? β
The female ghost looked at the puppet and said, "Mr. just said a high talk about praying mantis catching cicadas, and the little woman was so excited that she couldn't help but come out to see it." Unexpectedly, Mr. is talented, but this appearance is a bit unsightly. β
It's the first time I've heard of someone who uses the word "unsightly" to describe their looks. But looking at the appearance of the puppet, his hands and feet are short, and he wears them together with a needle and thread, which is indeed a bit nondescript, and he deserves the words "unsightly".
The puppet said as calmly as possible: "This is what I looked like when I died, and this is what I looked like when I walked the rivers and lakes." Do you want to see handsome little students? So what's so hard? β
Then, a gust of wind blew around the puppet. By the time the wind had stopped, the puppet's appearance had changed, and he had become long with long hands and feet, and with a burly body. That face has also matured a lot, not between the eyebrows and eyes, it still looks like when it was a child.
The female ghost's eyes lit up and said, "Not bad, very good." β
Xue Qian smiled in my ear: "The puppet won't be trying to give him a beautiful man's plan, right?" I think this female ghost seems to be interesting to him. β
I whispered, "That's the best, let's wait and see." β
The puppet said to the female ghost, "Can you let us go now?" β
The female ghost said lightly: "I saw the true face of the gentleman, but the gentleman has not seen me." Isn't it a bit too much of a loss? Then, she raised her sleeve and shook it twice in front of her face.
When she lowered her sleeves again, I saw that she had become an old woman with a wrinkled face and gray hair.
The female ghost was obviously dissatisfied with her appearance, and she turned herself into her twenties.
She sighed and said, "Sir said before that there is no order in this place, and no one obeys anyone. That was true a few years ago, but it's different now. Now they have a leader. β
The female ghost pointed to herself: "This leader is me." When I was alive, I subdued the living here, and after I died, I subdued the ghosts here. The people and the demons here will obey my commands. β
The female ghost didn't say it loudly, but she was very bold when she said it, and we all admired it.
The puppet laughed and said, "It's really admirable that women don't let their eyebrows go." Right now...... Can we get over? β
The female ghost said lightly: "The three of you are a ghost." Some have good skills, some have good brains. I just don't need that kind of talent, so you can stay. How about working under me? β
The three of us looked at each other and thought, "What's going on?" β
Mr. Lu said: "The three of us are going to Songcheng, and we have important things to do. I really can't stay. β
The woman said, "What could be greater than life and death?" I'll send you to kill you in a moment. Bury your bodies in this forest, and you will never want to go again. What are you going to do when you go back for thousands of miles? β
I muttered in a low voice, "Once women have skills, are they so domineering?" β
After I said this, I suddenly remembered the woman of Anle Temple again. She is more powerful than the female ghost in front of her, I don't know how many times, and she is domineering, I don't know how many times. She didn't necessarily let me die, nor did she necessarily let me live. Because she doesn't care if I live or die.
She kept me when it was good for her to live my life. If it was in her interest if I died, she would not hesitate to kill me.
I was thinking about it when I noticed that it was suddenly dark. Those with candles put their candles on the ground. Then he drew his knife and slowly approached us.
Mr. Lu smiled bitterly: "We are Taoist priests, we are not afraid of ghosts, take out a few Taoist talismans, and you can hold on until dawn in a circle." But with so many living people around, what can I do? I'm afraid I'm going to die here this time. β
