Chapter 50: The Pink Skull

Seeing such a scene, Fan Zhou was angry.

The unknown exorcism official was interested in his wife, and he could understand—after all, his wife was as beautiful as a flower, and few men could resist her charm.

But now, his wife actually took the initiative to seduce another man in front of him with that delicate voice!

This Fan Zhou can't bear it.

Anger burned in his heart.

He picked up a broom and threw it at the two of them, just wanting to kill the dog official who forcibly seized the people's women, and the stinky woman who didn't abide by women's morals.

However, at this moment, his "wife" glanced at him with a cold gaze.

Fan Zhou suddenly felt a chill sweep through his body.

It was as if a poisonous tongue had slipped from under his feet into the hem of his clothes, crawling slowly along his legs and torso, and then wrapped around his whole body, immobilizing him.

He even felt that it only took one thought from his "wife" for him to die here instantly.

The sudden malice of the "wife" made Fan Zhou panic.

But Gu Xu still had a calm smile on his face.

"Fan Gongzi, you may have misunderstood," he walked up to Fan Zhou and whispered in his ear, "I have no interest in your 'wife' in men and women. I just saw that you were deficient in yang qi and yin qi, and I wanted to save you from the sea of suffering. ”

Fan Zhou frowned.

He didn't quite understand what Gu Xu meant by this.

It's just that as a man, he always feels that "yang qi deficiency" is not a good description.

At this time, Gu Xu continued: "Fan Gongzi, I don't know if you have heard of a sentence before-'Red and pink skeleton, white bones and flesh'. The beauty in front of you is not necessarily real. ”

Beauty doesn't have to be real?

Fan Zhou looked at the graceful and charming "wife", and then at the Qiyao dress Gu Xu was wearing, and a sense of foreboding suddenly sprouted in his heart.

"Do you want to know the true face of your 'wife'?" Gu Xu chuckled.

Without waiting for Fan Zhou to answer, he took out a "Defilement Rune" from his coat pocket and pasted it on the door of Fan Zhou's head, while reciting the "Curse to Eliminate Disasters and Destroy Delusion":

"The essence of yang and brightness, the spirit is extremely spiritual; Collect the charm and hide the original form; The spirit rune is together, and all troubles are calmed; Dare to disobey, and the heavenly soldiers will go up. ”

When Gu Xu recited the incantation, Fan Zhou stood stunned in place.

In his field of vision, the landscape around him was turned upside down.

The quaint two-story house is gone.

The dim candlelight was gone.

The carved furniture is also gone.

At this moment, Fan Zhou found himself standing in a desolate and secluded wilderness.

Beside him, there was a lonely tomb.

And his flowery and moon-looking "wife" turned into a hideous and terrifying dried corpse!

The corpse was gray and dark, with dry flesh and a sunken abdomen.

Under the flesh and skin, you can faintly glimpse the white bones of Sensen.

"Could it be...... This is the wife who spends the night with me every day? What is her true face? ”

When he realized this, Fan Zhou was dumbfounded.

He finally understood why Gu Xu would say that he was "deficient in yang energy" and "full of yin energy".

It turned out that the yang energy on his body was devoured by this ghost!

At the same time, Fan Zhou also noticed that there were several familiar figures standing not far away, including his parents, the Qin family's father-in-law and mother-in-law, the servants of the family, and a few neighbors who came to join in the fun out of curiosity.

They all looked at each other in unison, their eyes either concerned or surprised.

"Oh my God, did they all know that I recently lived with a dried corpse for half a month?"

An extremely terrifying thought suddenly popped up in Fan Zhou's heart.

At this moment, he even wanted to die in place immediately, and he didn't want to go home and face everyone.

…………

The dry corpse stood on the edge of the grave and said to Gu Xu in a hoarse voice: "I really didn't expect that you are just a second realm cultivator, and you can see through my illusions. ”

Gu Xu smiled and replied, "I am not talented in Xia, but I have still learned some methods to strengthen my divine sense." Your vision, though subtle, is still a little bit off to confuse me. ”

"I confess that you do have the strength to be taken seriously," the cadaver continued, "but the one who saw me for what I really was has become a dead corpse." You smell tender and delicious, but you're no exception. ”

"Then let's give it a try!" Gu Xu still smiled at the corner of his mouth, without the slightest fear on his face.

At this time, he could probably perceive that the strength of this dried corpse was not weak, and it belonged to the upper middle "wild ghost" level ghosts, which were more similar to the original painted skin ghosts, and even a little stronger.

But now Gu Xu is no longer the same as he was at the beginning.

He had just been promoted to the second realm, and he could use this evil ghost to estimate his current strength.

Therefore, he did not plan to use the "Taishang Arctic Town Demon Slaying Talisman" for the time being, nor did he want to use spells such as "Eclipse", but chose to directly try to condense the true element and solve the other party in the most simple and crude way.

Soon, in the palm of his hand, an orange-red light appeared, like a warm fire in winter, and like the rising sun at dawn.

"A mere second realm cultivator, you don't need a sword, you don't use a charm, you want to fight me just by relying on the true yuan, do you look down on me?" The dry corpse said in a mocking tone, "You know, the monks who looked down on me in the past were all by me—"

"—no more nonsense." Gu Xu interrupted it.

He felt that this dry corpse should be the most chatty goblin he had ever seen.

I saw the dry corpse raise his right hand.

Around it, a thick black mist immediately rose.

It was as if the black clouds were turning ink, and the army was crushing the city.

Then the dry corpse pointed at Gu Xu.

The black mist suddenly transformed into countless poisonous snakes, rushing towards Gu Xu's location, as if they wanted to gnaw at his flesh and blood, devour his muscles and bones, and tear it into countless pieces.

In an instant, Gu Xu was completely shrouded in darkness.

The sun and stars are shining, and the mountains are hidden.

The light in Gu Xu's hand was also like a sunset, falling powerlessly in the dim night, as if it was about to sink into the abyss of dead silence.

"My lord, be careful!" Fan Zhou's face was gloomy and he shouted loudly on the side.

However, Gu Xu's expression was still calm and calm.

He was in the dark, but his eyes were as bright as the stars.

As his mind moved, the True Yuan Light in his hand became brighter and more majestic.

It's like the sea giving birth to the night.

Chase away the haze and show the brilliance.

Fan Zhou looked at Gu Xu's figure in a daze-

I saw that its commission was like a mountain.

The darkness was scattered underfoot, and the brilliant fireworks were in front of him.

"It's boring."

Gu Xu stood on the dividing line between light and darkness, looked at the dried corpse in front of him, and shook his head silently.

The voice fell, and the fire filled the sky.

The dried corpse turned to ashes in an instant.

Gu Xu lowered his head and looked at his hands, thinking that this was the power of the Second Realm Cultivator.

He was satisfied.
