Chapter 353, Human Skin Demon Beast
The next night, there was still a fire, and Luo Tian sat in his room, without a lamp, and there was silence all around.
The white shadow flashed from the corridor again, Luo Tian heard a birdsong, and smiled coldly, the time to come is finally here.
The white shadow floated to the front of Yin Jiu's room, the door slowly opened, Yin Jiu's faint snoring came, the white shadow slowly approached the bed, and at the moment when he bent down, the lights in the room suddenly turned on, and at the same time, Yin Jiu also opened his eyes and shouted: "I still want to repeat the old trick, no way." β
The white shadow retreated in panic, but traces of the formation appeared on the four walls of the room, and a network of lightning appeared at the gate.
Yin Jiu took out a short knife from his arms, and at the door, Luo Tian and the others had already arrived, and the white shadow could be said to be the turtle in the urn.
"I've heard that ghosts are invisible beings that can travel through walls and other external objects, and I don't have a formation on this wall, so if you are really a ghost, you can pass through the house. β
Luo Tian stepped into the room and pointed to a wall behind him.
The white shadow hesitated, its face obscured by a layer of light.
"There's no way to get through the wall, right, hehe, I know you're not a ghost, show your identity, otherwise I'm welcome. Luo Tian opened his mouth and shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, the white shadow suddenly walked towards him, Luo Tian's spiritual power was running in his hand, and he reached over, but the same thing happened again as last time, and the white shadow disappeared like an illusion.
"Why is it missing again?" Luo Bi asked in surprise.
Luo Tian squatted down, saw some white powder scattered on the ground and a piece of white cloth, thought for a while and said, "Go, go out with me." β
The only gatekeeper in the deserted house, in front of the woman's room, Luo Tian saw that the flour sprinkled on the ground was quite complete, but there was a thin gap in the middle, he knocked on the door, there was no movement inside, and he simply opened the door with a palm, and saw that the woman was kneeling on the floor of the room, and some spell-casting props were placed in front of her.
"Get up, I know that white shadow is an illusion you cast, who are you?" Luo Tian asked.
The woman slowly stood up from the ground, turned her head to look at Luo Tian and the others, and said, "This house is mine, my father is the old guy who died, and my mother is his original wife." β
A little surprised, I didn't expect this woman to be their child.
"I have followed my mother to practice magic since I was a child, my mother is indeed a very strong person, but it is always for my father's good, my father is a flowery person, he always sees strange ideas, but because he does not dare to provoke my mother, he used to secretly go out to look for flowers and willows, but when my mother's mother's family declined, my father began to become arrogant, and even prepared to marry a concubine home, but in the end because my mother will spell the relationship so he gave up, but I didn't expect him to get rid of my mother, and secretly moved, my mother fell off the cliff and life and death unknown, and he not only annexed my mother's mother's property, but also began to expose his true nature, and the concubine married room after roomγ β
"How do you know this?" Yin Jiu asked.
"I didn't know, and I thought that my mother's death was an accident, and my father and I discussed burying it with a mound of clothes as a memorial, but I didn't expect him to marry that woman back, it was a vixen, she pestered her father, my father was dizzy, and even wrote a contract that was willing to give her the title deed and even the silver number in the bank, I reminded my father many times, but my father turned a deaf ear, and then I ran away in anger, but I didn't expect that I actually found my mother. β
"Oh?" Luo Tian was also a little surprised.
"Mother didn't die, because of the relationship between the cultivation of the body, she was seriously injured but saved her life, my mother told me everything, and also told me how to restore her, that is, to feed her with the fresh flesh and blood of the cultivator, after eating, she can absorb spiritual power from these flesh and blood, the stronger the spiritual power becomes, her body will get better and better, and eventually even fully recover. β
"Therefore, you deliberately took out a thousand taels of silver as a reward to attract people like us to complete the task, one thousand taels is neither less nor too much, it will not attract those powerful people with particularly high cultivation, you use illusions to kill people, but what I don't understand is that illusions can't touch people's bodies, how do you hurt them?" Luo Bi asked.
"It's not the illusion that hurts, it's that they scratch themselves and commit suicide, I set up the illusion in the room in advance, and people who are not high in cultivation will consciously enter the illusion after entering the room to rest, and then as long as I cast a spell to let the illusion enter the room, the illusion will be activated, and they will kill themselves without knowing it. β
"Fresh flesh and blood, absorb spiritual power, which school are you practicing with your mother?" Luo Tian asked.
"My mother used to practice illusion with the retainers of her family, and I don't know the sect, but unfortunately, I couldn't kill that woman, and that woman saw that the situation was not good, so she took the money and fled to the Iron Feather Country, otherwise, she would have to go to the underworld with my father to be husband and wife again. β
This woman is also ruthless enough, and when she speaks, her eyes are full of murder.
Luo Tian felt like an evil way, and after thinking for a moment, he asked, "Where is your mother now?"
"I can't tell you. β
"You still don't want to say it, I don't want to say it if you get hurt, don't you want to live anymore?" Yin Jiu raised the knife, he was in a displeasure after being injured, and he didn't care if the other party was a woman or not, so he was a little fierce at the exit.
"Even if you kill me, I can't tell you where my mother is. "This woman has a hard mouth.
Luo Tian stretched out his hand to block Yin Jiu, and then said: "Cannibalism of flesh and blood, absorbing spiritual power is very evil, your mother is a cultivator, she won't not know, she still let you do this on the premise of knowing, there may be two reasons, one is that your mother herself is an evil person, and she is using evil methods to recover her injuries, and the second is that your mother is dead, and her body is controlled by some evil thing, and she lends your hand to satisfy her own ** , If it's the former, if you don't say it, you can be regarded as protecting your mother, but if it's the latter, if you don't say it, you're just protecting an evil monster, see for yourself. β
The woman lowered her head and said nothing, and Luo Tian motioned for everyone to exit the house.
Outside the house, the big insect muttered and asked, "Boss, now that you know the truth, what are you going to do with this woman?"
"I'll hand her over to the old man, and the old man's organization will deal with it, but the priority is to find the people who use her. β
After a long while, the woman walked out of the room and whispered, "If my mother is controlled by evil things, is my mother still alive?"
"Definitely dead. Luo Tian replied unceremoniously.
"Then if my mother were still alive......"
"I will hand over your mother and daughter to the people of the bounty organization, you should pay the price for killing so many people, and if your mother dares to resist, I will personally end her life. β
"Then why should I tell you. β
"Because if it is an evil thing that occupies your mother's body, at least with my help, you can still bury your mother and then be punished, do you want to watch your mother's body be controlled by monsters?"
The woman nodded after all, and Luo Tian was not surprised.
"I placed my mother under my father's mausoleum, which was large and solemn on the surface, but in fact there was a large underground space underneath. β
Back to the cemetery again, the whole cemetery is really only his father's mausoleum is the largest, like a small hill protruding from the ground, after the woman opened the mechanism, a path leading to the underground was revealed behind the mausoleum, and everyone walked down the path.
After about ten meters of land, the floor is convenient and spacious, and there are torches lit on the walls.
"Daughter, I'm hungry, I'm so hungry......"
Before he could see the face of the Lord, he heard a hoarse voice shouting not far away.
"Mother, I brought someone to meet you. The woman said.
The voice not far away suddenly became sharper, and shouted: "Did you bring someone here and want to kill me, do you want to kill me too?"
"Hello, we're here to serve you food, but unlike food in the past, we're talking and we're not dead. β
Luo Tian walked into the middle of the mausoleum and saw a white-haired, skinny woman sitting on a wooden chair, her green eyes staring at Luo Tian through the white hair, like an evil ghost.
