Chapter 8 Unsheathing
However, at this moment, an accident happened.
Painted Skin Ghost suddenly felt a burning pain coming from his body. He couldn't help but wailed and took two steps back.
It lowered its head and saw that on its waist and abdomen, there were more than a dozen "Tai Shang Arctic Demon Suppressing and Demon Killing Talismans" posted on it at some point!
These talismans burned, bursting out with blazing fire, burning a big hole in its rotting flesh, emitting wisps of green smoke, and flowing out dark green blood with a putrid smell.
I saw Gu Xu holding a stack of "ghost-killing talismans" and looking at it with a joking smile: "How does my scent smell?"
The Painted Skin Ghost's "fixing" spell could not bind the painted ghost. Live him.
The way he couldn't move just now was completely fake.
"You lied to me, boy!" Painted Skin Ghost said angrily, "Your name is not 'Xiao Changshou' at all!"
"My name is indeed not Xiao Changshou," Gu Xu chuckled He said, "But as a prudent monk, why should I tell my real name to a stranger?"
"You..." Painted Skin Ghost was so angry that he couldn't speak, and his teeth were grinding together.
Advanced ghosts must have advanced fighting methods.
As an intelligent high-level ghost, Painted Skin Ghost has long disdained being like its lower compatriots, who only rely on brute force to fight with people.
It also masters some weird spells.
The "immobilization spell" is one of its trump cards, which can lock the enemy in place and prevent him from moving.
It's just that there are conditions for this spell to be effective - it needs to be through the person's real name.
That’s why when they first met, it rushed to ask Gu Xu and Shi Xiaohan - "May I ask how you call them?"
Gu Xu gave a pseudonym, and the spell came naturally. invalid.
Thinking of this, Painted Skin Ghost silently cursed "cunning human" a hundred times in his heart.
Humanity’s routines are too deep.
As a ghost that has just tried to blend into human society, it is still too innocent.
Looking at the furious Painted Skin Ghost, Gu Xu wiped his nose with his free hand and continued: "Also, Painted Skin Ghost, you smell really bad, it's like you're about to rot. Like the internal organs of a dead fish.
“Since you are interested in learning the magic of makeup, why not spend some time applying some perfume on yourself, hanging a sachet to improve your body odor? ”
“You...”
…………
Shi Xiaohan was imprisoned in place by the "immobilization spell", silently listening to the conversation between Gu Xu and the Painted Skin Ghost.
It is said that ghosts are the natural enemies of human beings.
But now it seems that Painted Skin Ghost seems more like a pitiful little kid who was bullied, losing ground steadily under Gu Xu's verbal attack.
What a wonderful show!
Shi Xiaohan couldn't help but want to applaud Gu Xu.
The only regret at this time is that I was careless just now and fell into the painted-skinned ghost's trick!
If I can participate in it, I think it will make this ghost experience the joy of not wanting to live but not to die!
…………
While the Painted Skin Ghost was busy repairing its wounds, Gu Xu came to Shi Xiaohan and recited the "Purification Mantra" in a low voice:
< br>"Tai Shang Haotian, comfort the body. The soul of the disciple, the five internal organs and the mysterious world..."
After reciting the spell, Shi Xiaohan's restraints were instantly lifted and he regained his ability to move.
However, even though the confinement was lifted, Shi Xiaohan still felt a little confused.
Because in her impression, the "Purification Charm" is an entry-level spell that every exorcist monk must master.
It has only one function - to stabilize the soul and get rid of inner demons.
Most of the time it's very useless.
It can only be used when something goes wrong in practice.
But why can Gu Xu use it to break the evil ghost's immobilization spell?
Didn’t the two of them learn the same version of the spell?
As if aware of her thoughts, Gu Xu smiled and explained: "A few days ago, I made some improvements to the 'Purification Charm', coupled with the 'Explanation' I recently researched As long as the level of the ghosts is not too high, it can basically remove all control spells and negative effects exerted by them."
As he spoke, he stuffed a piece of blue talisman paper. At that time, it was in Xiaohan's hands.
Shi Xiaohan took the talisman paper and felt dizzy when he saw the complex runes on it that were as dense as a heavenly book.
This is not something that normal people can understand at all!
"If you don't want to see it, take it back!" She decisively returned the "Decontamination Talisman" to Gu Xu, "I don't have time to study this thing now."
The way of repairing talismans People are monsters.
Their brains are definitely different from normal people. She complained silently in her mind.
Gu Xu smiled, put away the "Decontamination Talisman" as if nothing had happened, and said: "You are right, fighting is the most important thing now."
Then he pointed The Painted Skin Ghost in front of him was holding his wound and said: "Xiaohan, according to my observation, this Painted Skin Ghost should be a 'wild ghost' level ghost, and it is not too strong.
"It just made us feel weak, relying on It's an underhanded trick that's hard to guard against. But in terms of hard power, it is not your opponent at all. "
"Yes," Shi Xiaohan snorted and agreed, "This damn evil ghost will play tricks on you if you can't beat him. It's so despicable and shameless!" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, she pulled out the heavy long knife from its sheath.
This knife is called "Kunwu". It is made of red copper from Kunwu Mountain. It contains the power of the sun and is one of the rare weapons that can cause fatal damage to ghosts.
There is an ancient book record: "This mountain is famous for its copper, which is as red as fire. Using it as a blade, cutting jade is like cutting mud."
This is what it describes.
Two months ago, in order to have a suitable weapon, Shi Xiaohan made a special trip to leave Yishui County and went to the Exorcist Department of Qingzhou Prefecture. He spent two thousand merit to exchange for this "Kunwu Sword" ".
Since then, I have been fond of it, and whenever I go out to do tasks, I will definitely take this knife with me.
Now, Kunwu is finally out of his sheath.
Under the sunlight, the whole body glows with crimson light, like solidified flames or hot lava.
Painted Skin Ghost's eyes narrowed unconsciously.
From this red long knife, it really smelled the breath of death.
"You guys go to hell!" it roared angrily.
The evil black mist suddenly enveloped the entire courtyard.
The injuries caused by the "Ghost Killing Talisman" heal instantly.
And its body also expanded and twisted in an instant, and its fangs and nails quickly grew longer.
By an ugly green monster——
Transformed into a two-story giant green ugly monster.
“Ah——”
Seeing the rampaging Painted Skin Ghost, the boy Wang Guicai screamed and fainted from fright.
“My Lady, then I’ll leave it to you.” Gu Xu glanced at Shi Xiaohan beside him and said calmly and calmly.
He estimated in his mind that if he wanted to deal with Hua Pi himself, he would have to pull out some trump cards and pay a high price to completely eliminate it.
It's better to hold back a little and let Shi Xiaohan deal with it - anyway, this girl has already raised the big sword and is ready to try.
It’s the same old saying...
Why force a carry when you can easily win?
"Put it on this heroine."
Shi Xiaohan raised "Kunwu" and took a step forward.
Thousands of rays of light illuminate the sky and dye it red, and the blue bricks and gray tiles are dyed blood.
The whole house seemed to be covered with a layer of red rouge.
The soul flags are buzzing.
The frightened crow flaps its wings and takes off.
Before the Painted Skin Ghost had time to scream, the ground turned into black ashes.
Shi Xiaohan smiled and put away the knife.
Heaven and Earth then removed their red makeup and returned to their bare makeup.
