Chapter 5: Danger lurks
Dugu Yu immediately opened the door and chased out, but he couldn't see the shadow of the paper man.
Standing at the door, Dugu Yu looked at the corridor that seemed quiet, he didn't think too long, and decided to go to find a few other people to meet first.
Who would have thought that at noon, he would encounter ghosts in the inn.
Ghosts aren't unusual, but they're not common.
The paper figure that Dugu Yu encountered was just a relatively low-level ghost, which could make people hallucinate and see the ghost as their friend or family.
When people are not guarded, these ghosts will suck their spirit.
Usually, people who are sucked out of their essence will not die, and the lighter ones will feel exhausted for several days in a row, while the heavier ones will be exhausted and will have to recuperate for a month or two before they can fully recover.
However, the dangers of ghosts are terrifying.
When this kind of low-level paper ghost has been cultivated for hundreds of years and has absorbed enough essence, it will become upgraded to a paper ghost king.
Ordinary paper ghosts can be destroyed with a sword that has seen blood and has a sinister aura, and they are very afraid of flames, so it is not difficult to deal with.
However, when they are upgraded to the paper ghost kings, not only will they no longer be afraid of evil energy and fire, but they will also start sucking the souls of the living.
The Paper Ghost King can also split a new Paper Ghost by itself to help it suck the souls of living people, so even a low-level Paper Ghost may attract the Paper Ghost King, and it will be extremely harmful if left alone.
"Stop! Are you real or fake? โ
In the aisle of the inn, Dugu Yu hadn't walked long before he ran into Lingling, who was holding a black spear in his hand.
Seeing Dugu Yu, Lingling's face did not show a smile as usual, but looked at Dugu Yu with a very serious expression.
"Qiangโ"
Dugu Yu patted the scabbard of the iron sword hanging on his waist with his hand, and the iron sword jumped out of the scabbard, and a white cold light was reflected on the sword body, revealing a fierce sword intent.
With a click, the iron sword fell back into its scabbard.
Dugu Yu asked lightly: "I am myself, what about you?" Are you Lingling? โ
At most, the illusion created by the paper man ghost can only produce the appearance and voice of a person, not even everything about him.
For example, Dugu Yu's extremely powerful sword intent is impossible for a paper ghost to make.
"Well, it's true!"
Seeing Dugu Yu's sword intent, Lingling's face suddenly relaxed, and she walked towards Dugu Yu and said with palpitations:
"It turned out that it was really you, senior brother, that's good, it really scared me to death just now, but fortunately I found the real you......"
Brother? Hearing the Lingling in front of him call him, Dugu Yu couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth.
Although the illusion created by the paper ghost can be imitated vividly, many details still expose it.
Lingling has always been called Young Master Dugu Yu, how could he suddenly call him Senior Brother?
Another example is the Huang Li who was imitated before, although Huang Li looks charming, but she is a woman who values her reputation very much, how could she really go directly into Duguyu's room like that.
However, although he had a lot of thoughts in his heart, Dugu Yu's face did not show any strange appearance.
He didn't seem to have any defenses against the fake Lingling who was coming towards him, and after approaching Dugu Yu, the fake Lingling's eyes immediately began to show resentment.
"Hahaha, stupid human! Die for me!! Fake Lingling laughed, and she stabbed the spear in her hand into Dugu Yu's eyes.
With an excited and crazy smile, the paper ghost disguised as Lingling looked at Dugu Yu's face, and it wanted to see his ugly expression on Dugu Yu's face that should be full of horror and stunned.
However, all it saw was a smile of disdain and sarcasm, and then the paper figure heard a "bang", and then white sword light flashed in its eyes.
Inserting the iron sword in his hand back into the scabbard, Dugu Yu stepped over the small pile of scraps of paper on the ground that were still emitting black smoke and continued to walk forward.
Although he easily eliminated a paper ghost, the expression on Dugu Yu's face was not very relaxed, because the sky outside was getting darker and darker.
On the other side of the aisle, the real Lingling was chasing a paper ghost at this time.
Although the paper ghosts do not look much different from ordinary paper figures, their materials are extremely tough, and their bodies are very soft and can be extended and deformed at will.
When attacking people, the limbs of the paper ghost can be transformed into paper swords and knives, which can easily cut through people's skin.
Although Lingling is a girl, her moves open and close, and the big black gun in her hand carries a sharp whistling sound every time she sweeps out.
That paper ghost is just a little ghost who has not been cultivating for a few years, where can he withstand Lingling's attack, he can only keep running away.
"Still want to run? Stand there and die! โ
With an angry shout, Lingling's feet violently exerted force, and the whole person seemed to be a poisonous snake that had locked its prey, and its body bounced up directly like a spring, flying towards the paper ghost man.
The spear in Lingling's hand stabbed forward violently, and her speed was extremely fast, not giving the paper ghost a chance to continue to move and dodge.
The paper man ghost had no choice but to turn his hands into two paper shields in front of him, and the whistling spear stabbed the paper shield viciously, and the sharp tip of the spear easily pierced the two paper shields.
However, the paper ghost also used the huge power of Lingling's gun, and his body flew backwards lightly.
The paper ghost distanced herself from Lingling again, and Lingling, who was full of unhappiness, was about to continue to chase after her, but she suddenly stopped.
Looking behind the paper ghost, her originally angry face was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared as if her face had changed.
"Qiangโ"
Before he could turn around, he heard the sound of a sharp sword coming out of its sheath behind him, and then it couldn't feel anything.
Because an ordinary, but extremely sharp iron sword, it shuttled back and forth frantically on its body in an instant, leaving a thousand holes.
"Ahhh!!hhh
With a terrible roar at the end, black smoke filled its body, and when the black smoke dispersed, countless pieces of paper slowly fell to the ground.
"Young master, are you alright?" Lingling put away the spear in her hand, she looked at Dugu Yu with some concern and said: "There is something wrong with the paper ghost here, and he is not afraid of us at all, I think there may be a paper ghost king nearby." โ
As soon as Lingling's words fell, Dugu Yu heard a rush of footsteps not far away, and he turned his head to look over there.
I saw Wen Yang, Guo Lang and Huang Li chasing after the six paper ghosts and running towards Lingling and Dugu Yu.
Seeing Dugu Yu and Lingling, Wen Yang's face showed joy, and he hurriedly shouted: "Senior Brother Dugu, Miss Lingling, stop these paper ghosts!" Don't let them run! โ
Under the bag of the five people, the six paper ghosts were turned into shredded paper, and then Dugu Yu and they began to sweep away the other paper ghosts in the inn.
In this inn, except for the five of them, the other guests, including Wen Yang and the servants they brought, were all sucked out of their essence by the paper ghosts.
Those people could only stay in their rooms to recuperate, the sky outside had completely fallen into darkness, the inn was lit with oil lamps, and in the dim firelight, Dugu Yu and they sat in the quiet lobby.
"Amitabha, good, good, you are all about to come to a catastrophe."
Just as Dugu Yu and several other people were sitting in the lobby of the inn discussing whether to rush out of the inn immediately and leave the town, the door of the inn was pushed open.
A fat monk dressed in gold and silver, about thirty years old, was short and fat.
His face was ruddy and shiny, the corners of his mouth were raised with a smile, he wore a large gold necklace around his stubby neck, a silver bracelet on his wrist, and the Buddha beads in his hand were jade.
"Who are you?"
Dugu Yu and the others didn't know this fat monk, but when they heard his sentence "A catastrophe is coming", Wen Yang, Guo Lang and Huang Li's faces became very ugly.
Originally, they were uneasy, but at this time, a strange monk suddenly came, and as soon as they met, they said that you were about to face a catastrophe, and no one would give this monk a good look.
