Chapter 167 Naliang Town
"Uh, uh... help... don't... let me go!" The beautiful girl sobbed and begged for mercy, while the other girl, who was trapped and gagged, looked at everything in front of her in horror. But he could only make a muffled sound.
"That's almost it." The perpetrator was a handsome young man with a neutral voice that could not be distinguished from male to female. He leaned over and turned the pretty girl over to face him, then stretched out his ten fingers, starting from the girl's forehead, and dug his sharp nails into the edge of the girl's hairline. Then all the way down along the hairline, in the blink of an eye, the girl's face was completely peeled off by the boy, and what was originally her face turned into a bloody mess.
"Face! My face!" The originally beautiful girl screamed in pain and anger. She struggled and stretched out her hands to try to take her face back, but the boy covered her face with the peeled off intact face. superior. The face was obviously snatched from someone else, but it quickly merged with his body and became his face.
"Monster! Monster!" The girl who originally wanted to snatch her face back crawled in fear and tried to escape. However, before she could escape far, the boy's hand penetrated her chest and took out her heart. The young man gnawed on the beating heart as if he was just eating an ordinary fruit. Then he stood up and walked towards the girl who was tied up, looking at her condescendingly.
"Woo! Woo!" The girl squirmed and tried to hide back. Her eyes widened in fear and burst into tears. The face that belonged to the dead girl made her even more frightened, but she could only sob and could not beg for mercy.
"What? Does this face make you more scared? You didn't hesitate when you betrayed her to me!" The young man raised his hand and touched his face and said, "Don't worry, I won't ask for your face. After all, you are not good-looking. Fortunately, if my last servant hadn't died, I would have killed you now." After that, the young man got up and left.
The moment he opened the door, a dim light came in, illuminating some places that were previously covered by shadows. The tied girl also saw that there were numerous bones hidden under the shadows. Then the boy closed the door and locked her in here.
The young man who left his secret room turned left and right, and finally came to a room that looked more normal. Without any hesitation, he went straight to a smooth and bright mirror in the room, and carefully looked at his current appearance. He didn't care that he was covered in blood and just wiped the blood off his face. He first touched his face with a smile on his face, and as he watched, his smile cooled and his expression became bored.
"I'm so annoyed, this face isn't pretty enough! I need a beautiful face, a more beautiful face!" The young man muttered in a low voice, changed out of the dirty clothes, put on a set of clean clothes, and left Got here.
"Old Liu, I heard that the young lady of the Deng family in the city has also disappeared." In the not-so-busy market in this town, a stall owner started chatting with the stall owner of the next stall.
"Miss Deng? There are two ladies in the Deng family, aren't there? Which one is missing? Lao Zhang, you have to tell me carefully!" The stall owner surnamed Liu from the stall next door is also a good gossip, so he came immediately Interested, he quickly asked.
"Where did the two young ladies come from? There is only one young lady from the Deng family, and the other is a wild bastard. Then Mr. Deng is also shameless. He only raises them secretly outside, but he actually dares to take them home. If not The lady and the young lady were generous and did not bring this matter to the government. How can Mr. Deng be so carefree now?" The stall owner surnamed Zhang shook his head and replied.
"The other girl's mother is not even a concubine?" the stall owner surnamed Liu asked cautiously.
"No, I don't know how it came about. The only one who was taken to Deng's house was his daughter." The stall owner surnamed Zhang waved his hand and replied, then curiously turned over the goods of the stall owner surnamed Liu. The two of them are old acquaintances. , stall owner Liu didn’t mind at all when he did this. "Oh, Lao Liu, you have a lot of good things here. Isn't this rejuvenation ointment? This is a treasure that only immortal masters can use! Where did you get this?"
"You can't say that, you can't say it!" Stallmaster Liu quickly replied with a naive smile.
"Huh? There are actually pictures of ladies? Not pictures of ladies? Oh my God! Who is this beauty? This is so beautiful!" Zhang Zhang, the stall owner, sighed.
"I'm not too sure, but I heard it was an immortal master named Yang. It is said that the immortal masters like to collect his portraits." Stallkeeper Liu replied.
"Not to mention those immortal masters, who doesn't like this? Although she is not a woman, this figure that is more beautiful than a woman is very pleasing to the eye! Old Liu, how much do you sell this painting for?" stall owner Zhang asked.
"Can I see this painting?" Zhang, who was squatting in front of stall owner Liu's stall, suddenly heard a young man's voice. He turned his head and saw a young man with a very beautiful face. The young man's voice was indistinguishable from male to female. The stall owner Zhang was unable to determine the gender of the other party for a while.
"Yes, yes, but I can take down this painting first." Zhang, the stall owner, responded, and then spread the painting out again. The young man's eyes widened for a moment, and then his gaze became obsessed. As if he was worried that this strange and beautiful young man would snatch the words, the stall owner Zhang immediately rolled up the painting and stuffed it into his arms, and then threw away a few Give stall owner Liu a piece of silver, and he will make up for the remaining amount later.
"Excuse me, do you still have that person's portrait?" The young man looked at stall owner Liu and asked expectantly.
"Sorry, girl, I only have one here." Stallkeeper Liu replied. Watching the young man leave with his head lowered angrily, he didn't notice the ruthlessness flashing in the young man's eyes at all.
"We are finally reaching the town closest to the border of Min Kingdom." Yang Yuyao looked at the map on Xunlian and sighed with emotion. He then opened the curtain and looked at the woods outside the carriage. The sky has darkened, and the trees have turned into black shadows. It looks a little spooky, a little unsettling.
"Master, I think there seems to be a smell of blood here, and there is also a faint ghost spirit." Yang Yuyao said to He Qianqing uncertainly.
"Yes, there is indeed a ghostly spirit, but it is very weak." He Qianqing said with certainty and pulled Yang Yuyao, who had stuck his head out, back into the carriage.
"Master, I am sure that the smell of blood is the smell of human blood." Tu Shan said with some fear.
"Tushan, light the spiritual stone lamp, and then put the exorcism charm on the lamp." Yang Yuyao said through the message. Tu Shan was a little confused, but still followed Yang Yuyao's instructions. She picked out the exorcism talisman from the storage bag that Yang Yuyao gave her that contained some self-defense talismans, and attached it to the spiritual stone lamp hanging on the carriage. . The light from the spirit stone lamp seemed to become a little warm in an instant, and then Tu Shan discovered that this was not an illusion, but the exorcism talisman began to take effect. With the help of the weak spiritual energy overflowing from the spirit stone lamp, it continuously produced Yang Qi.
This method came to Yang Yuyao's mind because He Qianqing once mentioned to him that some monks buy spiritual stone lamps not only for lighting, but also for practice. Some monks cannot absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth well, or feel that absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth alone is not efficient enough, so they will use spirit gathering arrays or spirit stones to practice. However, the spirit gathering array means that it must be fixed in a certain place. Although the spirit stone is easy to carry, in order to absorb the spiritual energy in the spirit stone, it requires direct contact with the spirit stone. Some people will hold the spirit stone in their hands, while others will hold it in their mouths. However, doing so will have some impact on your practice due to non-standard posture or breathing.
I don’t know which monk was the first to discover that you can use the spirit stone lamp to absorb the overflowing spiritual energy to practice. The effect is better than direct contact with the spiritual stone. You don’t need to absorb it on your own. Although it is more luxurious than using the spiritual stone directly, This method is still spreading in a small area.
Yang Yuyao thinks that this is probably because there are always some customers who can use certain products in unexpected places. But what they did also gave Yang Yuyao inspiration. Usually, the way to use a talisman is to stick it somewhere and let it take effect automatically. The other way is to actively use spiritual power to ignite and trigger it. The first effect is based on the spiritual power injected when the talisman is drawn, and the second one is mainly about transforming one's own spiritual power into a certain nature.
But in fact, there is a third way to use it, which is to continuously supply stable spiritual power so that the talisman can continue to take effect for a long time. The effect of this is equivalent to waiting for the ghost to come and then attack in the first method. Basically, a range of automatic enemy defense effects are added, which can avoid the shock caused by the enemy suddenly getting close to the face. It's just that it's more tiring to use it this way. If the spirit stone lamp is used, the condition of providing stable spiritual energy will be satisfied. The facts were as Yang Yuyao speculated, and it came into effect successfully.
Tushan, who felt an increased sense of security, and even Red Comet became more courageous. They continued to drive along the edge of the woods towards the town, and then suddenly, the speed of the car slowed down.
"Master, I seem to have found the bodies of two men in the woods." Tu Shan said through a message transmission to Yang Yuyao, "They both look like they died recently."
"I know, stop the car, Master and I will go over and check it out." Yang Yuyao responded, and then repeated the matter with He Qianqing. He Qianqing looked solemn, but he did not stop Yang Yuyao from going together. They got off the carriage, and Yang Yuyao put a new exorcism charm on the side door of the carriage. The exorcism charm would only stop ghosts but not people, so it would not affect their return. The bodies of the two men were in the woods not far from the roadside. Yang Yuyao and the others saw them almost as soon as they got out of the car.
Using a little bit of spiritual power to cast a spell and condense it into light, they could clearly see the scene in front of them. The two deceased men were both ordinary-looking middle-aged men. Both were mortals. Judging from the condition of their muscles, they had only done manual labor and had not even practiced the most basic physical skills. Law. Therefore, it is certain that they are ordinary people, not even warriors. The death conditions of the two men were also very similar. They both died with their hearts ripped out. Fear and disbelief solidified on their faces, distorting their appearance.
"These two people seem to be salesmen." Yang Yuyao scanned the surroundings with his consciousness and confirmed that the goods were scattered on the ground. "Hmm, rejuvenation ointment? There are actually monk products in it, and the money from both is still on me."
"Both of these two people must have been killed by evil spirits," He Qianqing judged after carefully examining the wounds on the chests of the two men, "but this evil ghost should have nothing to do with the person who can control the ghost clan. Action ghost. Xiaoyao, go back, leave these two here alone, just be vigilant."
"Okay." Yang Yuyao nodded, and immediately returned to the carriage with He Qianqing, and asked Tu Shan to set off again, pretending not to notice the matter. The way those two people died was obviously not something ordinary people could do. Even though they were monks and most mortals respected them very much, they still had to avoid being suspected of being the murderers of those two people. Even if you can prove your innocence, the process is annoying. Therefore, they did not even set up a formation to protect the scene.
They don't need to worry about the two souls turning into ghosts. In fact, most people who die after being attacked by ghosts will have their souls corroded by the ghost energy and become mutilated. Not to mention turning into ghosts, it is difficult for them to even die.
"The hearts of those two people were dug out and disappeared. Those who have this attack habit include heart-eating ghosts, hundred-faced ghosts, and resentful ghosts. In addition, there are possessed ghosts that may have caused the wounds, but the possessed ghosts reside in In the case of internal organs, the wounds caused will have obvious tearing shapes, which is inconsistent with what was observed at the scene. The wounds of the two people were obviously caused by digging out the heart from the outside. The possibility of the Heart-eating Ghost and the Hundred-faced Ghost will be more likely. high……"
Hearing Yang Yuyao murmured his analysis, He Qianqing raised the corner of his mouth. He even wanted to show off to the sect masters in the Immortal Alliance group who were having a headache because their disciples couldn't even describe the most common types of evil spirits. His Xiaoyao was as good as ever, and could handle both common and uncommon types of ghosts. Remember, it can even be analyzed based on the characteristics of the ghost clan. However, He Qianqing resisted this impulse. This kind of meaningless and deliberate showing off had no effect except arousing the envy, jealousy and hatred of others. Anything good in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Yang Yuyao is already outstanding enough to stand out from the crowd. If He Qianqing makes him too flamboyant and causes people's disapproval, it will not be a good thing for Yang Yuyao. Although talented people often enjoy some privileges and tolerance, the elders still prefer humble juniors.
They entered this town at night. This town was called Naliang Town. I don’t know if it was named because the town was very cool in summer and was suitable for enjoying the cool weather. They easily found an inn on the main road of the town. There were no pedestrians on the streets at night. Yang Yuyao followed He Qianqing into the inn and checked into a room. Tushan's changed coachman was waiting outside. The inn they entered was called Zhu's Inn. Looking at the name, it was obvious that the owner of the inn was named Zhu.
Perhaps because it was already late when they arrived, Yang Yuyao couldn't help but yawned as soon as he passed the inn door. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and followed He Qianqing, and found a chubby little man lying on the counter and breathing. Huda sleep. He Qianqing stepped forward and knocked on the bar with his knuckles to wake up the little fat man.
"Stay in the hotel." He Qianqing said after Xiao Pangdun rubbed his face randomly with both hands.
The little chubby guy stared at He Qianqing with his dazed eyes for a while, then turned his head and roared at the top of his lungs. "Dad! We have guests!" Then he jumped up from the chair and quickly moved out two stools for Yang Yuyao and He Qianqing. "You two gentlemen, please take a seat. My father will be out in a moment."
"Coming, coming!" The person who responded to Little Fatty was a short, fat man with an appearance made from the same mold as Little Fatty. It was almost certain that this Little Fatty looked like this. "Do you two guests want to stay in the hotel? We happen to have a nice private room here. Do you two want to stay in the same room or each in one?"
"Same room, with servant room." He Qianqing said.
"Okay, I'll arrange it for you." The short and fat man responded with a smile. Suddenly, he met Yang Yuyao, who was curiously looking at the architectural style here. After being amazed, the short and fat man calmed down his face. With a smile on his face, he asked cautiously, "I am a little offended, can you tell me the identities of the two of you?"
"Master and disciple, what's wrong? Two men are not allowed to live in the same room here?" He Qianqing asked.
"No, no," the short, fat man quickly waved his hands to deny, "It's just... well, how should I put it? You two have just come to this area, right? It's just us who are spreading the word, so far in the Yamen. I don’t have a final conclusion. But regarding this matter, I think it’s better to believe it or not, so it’s better for this beautiful young man to be careful not to walk around alone.”
"Me?" Yang Yuyao asked with some uncertainty.
"Is there a flower picker around here who would attack a pretty boy?" He Qianqing frowned slightly and confirmed.
"It's probably not just a flower-picking thief, but it's said that beautiful boys and girls have disappeared from time to time in the surrounding area. Everyone said that there are monsters causing trouble. I have only heard this, so I can't be sure." said the short and fat man.
"Okay, thank you for reminding me." He Qianqing said thanks with a flash of clarity in his expression.
"Thanks for the reminder." Yang Yuyao also said after him. However, when the short and fat man saw the silver appearing in He Qianqing's hands out of thin air, he slapped his forehead and looked like he suddenly realized it.
"It turns out they are two immortal masters. I am blind and presumptuous!" The man said quickly and respectfully.
