Faced with the sudden change in the restaurant, Ma Qin's whole body suddenly tensed.

In the process of talking to Gu Xu just now, he had already realized that this Taoyuan Town was essentially a ghost town.

On the one hand, the architecture here is full of taboos, which leads to a convergence of gloomy atmospheres - uninhabitable for human races, but a paradise for ghosts to live in.

On the other hand, the food sold in the restaurant is a common offering in the rituals - in this case, no one in the restaurant, whether it is the diners or the staff, can be alive.

Now, these ghosts are finally going to attack the two outsiders.

Machin had been prepared for this.

When the shopkeeper was about to swing a pig-killing knife at the two of them, he decided to strike first.

Although Ma Qin no longer has any hope of competing for office, he believes that the big people from the capital are still observing his performance outside the illusion.

It's just a little inferior to Gu Xu in solving puzzles and solving crimes-after all, young people's minds are always a little better than him.

If he even has to hide behind Gu Xu's back in battle, then the big man from the capital will probably treat him as a waste who can only eat and wait for death, and it will be difficult to have a chance to be promoted in the future.

Therefore, it is very necessary to seize the opportunity to show your ability.

Thinking of this, Ma Qin suddenly got up, pushed the table away, clenched his fists, and smashed it towards the shopkeeper with a strange smile who was holding a pig-killing knife.

"Fist of the Rock".

This is a low-grade martial art practiced by Ma Qin, which is worth six hundred meritorious deeds.

Although Machin was best at swordsmanship, there were many special occasions when he could not carry a saber with him. So he once deliberately exchanged a boxing technique for self-defense.

This is where it comes in handy.

I saw his fists, along with his entire arms, gradually turn into hard stone. Behind him, too, the shadow of a hill appeared.

"Bang!"

At the moment when the stone fist came into contact with the pig-killing knife, the sonorous sound of the gold and stone crashing resounded throughout the restaurant.

Then, conspicuous cracks appeared on the pig-killing knife in the shopkeeper's hand - as if it had turned into thin and brittle porcelain, and shattered to the ground with a clatter.

At this moment, Gu Xu felt the majestic power contained in Ma Qin's fist.

That was the rich true essence that a Second Realm cultivator possessed.

"I don't know if I will have such a powerful power after my realm breakthrough." Gu Xu thought secretly in his heart.

But the goblins clearly don't stop there.

When the shopkeeper saw that the pig-killing knife was broken, he threw the bare handle of the knife on the ground, picked up the cane in his hand, and smashed it at Ma Qin's head.

Not to be outdone, the surrounding servants were not to be outdone - they took pots and pans, knives, forks and chopsticks nearby, and swarmed to Ma Qin and surrounded him.

The diners in the restaurant got up one after another, smashing the tableware and food on the table at Machin, while cheering for the staff, as if they were enjoying a wonderful performance.

Under such circumstances, Ma Qin secretly scolded in his heart: These ghosts can't beat me alone, so they beat me directly, it's really immoral!

Although "Fist of the Rock" is offensive and defensive, and has significant destructive power, which can make Ma Qin invincible in one-on-one combat, it only has the ability to attack alone after all, and cannot cause area damage.

This meant that it was still difficult for Machin to face more than a dozen goblins at the same time, as well as dodge dishes thrown by diners.

He's completely lithified both arms with Fist of the Rock - his wishful thinking is that if I'm strong enough to withstand attacks from all sides and keep these goblins from me, I'll be able to get rid of them one by one.

However, just then, a spoiled egg flew out of nowhere and hit Machin's head with unmistakable accuracy—if nothing else, it should have been an offering that had been in front of the grave for many years.

The egg whites mixed with the yolks and ran down Machin's cheeks, giving off a pungent stench.

The ghosts in the restaurant let out an eerie laugh in unison.

The lethality is not high, and the insult is extremely strong!

Ma Qin was immediately furious.

"Brother Gu Xian, aren't you going to make a move?" He shouted to Gu Xu, who was sitting at the dining table.

At this moment, Ma Chin had given up the idea of being reckless.

And in the dark, he had an inexplicable confidence in Gu Xu - for some reason, maybe it was because Gu Xu had been calm and confident since he entered the illusion realm, even if Gu Xu's cultivation was a whole level lower than him, he also felt that Gu Xu should have a way to deal with this room full of ghosts.

I saw Gu Xu smiling at the corner of his mouth, his eyes were calm, and he said to him in a relaxed tone: "Brother Ma, don't panic!" It's all on me! ”

Then Gu Xu got up slowly, glanced at the ghosts in the house, and said politely:

"Folks of Taoyuan Town, thank you very much for your hospitality today. The enticing smell of your food and wine makes me feel at home.

"Only now, I have to say 'sorry' to you. Because from now on, this homely restaurant will no longer exist. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the ghosts that had surrounded Ma Qin suddenly looked at him in unison, their eyes greedy, cold, and gloomy, as if there was substance.

But Gu Xu still looked calm and unapprehensive.

"Have you ever heard of the 'Taishang Arctic Town Demon Slaying Talisman'?" He chuckled, paused for a few seconds, and then continued, "It's okay if you haven't heard of it.

"Now, the stage has been set up. You will soon be able to appreciate its wonderful splendor. ”

Hearing this, Ma Qin felt a little puzzled.

He knew that Gu Xu was a talisman master who was not low-level.

But the illusion in this pot is a world of divine consciousness, and weapons, including runes, cannot be brought in.

And during the period of time after entering the illusion world, Gu Xu did not have a pen and paper in his hand, and it was impossible to draw a talisman temporarily.

So where did the 'ghost killing talisman' he said come from?

Could it be that Gu Xu can be like the Great Qi National Teacher, using heaven and earth as paper and true yuan as ink, and conjuring a prison to suppress evil ghosts out of thin air?

But after a few breaths, Machin knew the answer.

He heard Gu Xu softly chanting the familiar "Exorcism Mantra": "Five-star town color, light Xuanming." Thousands of saints, protect my true spirit......"

He saw that under the floor of this room, there was a brilliant light seeping out, as if golden ink was flowing on rice paper, outlining one after another intricate, mysterious, and unique beauty runes.

Like a thunderclap resounded in my mind.

Machin opened his mouth wide and slapped his thigh with his right hand.

Spilled cinnamon wine!

It turns out that this is the crux of the matter!

It turned out that when Gu Xu entered the restaurant, he had already conceived a strategy to deal with ghosts!

It turned out that his long-term and quiet patience was just to prepare for this fatal blow!
