Chapter 50 Red Skull
Seeing such a scene, Fan Zhou felt furious.
The unknown exorcism department official was interested in his wife, which 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 used her sweet voice to seduce another man in front of him!
Fan Zhou couldn't bear it anymore.
Anger burned in his heart.
He picked up a broom and threw it at the two of them. He just wanted to kill the dog official who had taken advantage of the women, and the stinky woman who did not follow the rules of women.
However, at this moment, his "wife" glanced at him coldly.
Fan Zhou suddenly felt a chill sweeping through his body.
It was as if a poisonous tongue had penetrated from his feet into the hem of his clothes, crawled slowly along his legs and torso, and then wrapped around his whole body, making him unable to move.
He even felt that with just one thought from his "wife", he would die here immediately.
The "wife's" sudden malice made Fan Zhou panic.
But Gu Xu still had a calm smile on his face.
"Mr. Fan, you may have misunderstood," he walked up to Fan Zhou and said in his ear, "I have no male or female interest in your 'wife'. I just want to see you. The yang energy in my body is deficient and the yin energy is lingering. I just want to save you from the sea of suffering."
Fan Zhou frowned.
He didn't quite understand what Gu Xu's words meant.
As a man, he always feels that "deficiency of yang energy" is not a good description.
At this time, Gu Xu continued: "Mr. Fan, I don't know if you have heard of the saying before - 'red skull, white bones and flesh'. The beauty in front of you is not necessarily Real.”
Beauty is not necessarily real?
Fan Zhou looked at his graceful and charming "wife", and then at the Qiyao suit Gu Xu was wearing, and an ominous premonition suddenly came into his heart.
"Do you want to know the true face of your 'wife'?" Gu Xu chuckled.
Before Fan Zhou could answer, he took out a "Dirt-Removing Talisman" from his pocket and stuck it on Fan Zhou's forehead, while reciting the "Disaster-dispelling and Destroying Illusion Charm" in his mouth:< br>
“The essence of Yangming is extremely spiritual; it absorbs the evil spirits and hides its true form; with the help of spiritual talismans, all troubles can be alleviated; if you dare to disobey, the heavenly soldiers will ascend.”
When Gu Xu thought While reciting the incantation, Fan Zhou stood there blankly.
In his field of vision, the surrounding scenery has undergone earth-shaking changes.
The quaint two-story house was gone.
The dim candlelight disappeared.
The carved furniture is also gone.
At this moment, Fan Zhou found himself standing in a desolate and secluded wilderness.
Beside him is a lonely grave.
And his beautiful "wife" turned into a hideous and terrifying mummy!
The whole body of this mummy is gray, the skin and flesh are dry and close to the bones, and the abdomen is sunken.
Under the skin, you can vaguely see bones.
"Could it be...that this is the wife who spends the night with me every day? Is her true face like this?"
When he realized this, Fan Zhou was stunned. Strong, color is ashen.
He finally understood why Gu Xu said that he was "deficient in yang energy" and "ridden in yin energy".
It turns out that the yang energy in his body was swallowed 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 father-in-law and mother-in-law of the Qin family, servants at home, and several others. A neighbor who came to join in the fun out of curiosity.
They all looked over here in unison, with either concern or surprise in their eyes.
“Oh my God, do they all know that I recently lived with a mummy for half a month?”
An extremely terrifying thought suddenly appeared in Fan Zhou's mind.
At this moment, he even wanted to die on the spot immediately, and did not want to go home and face everyone.
…………
The mummy stood at the edge of the grave and said to Gu Xu in a hoarse voice: "I didn't expect that you, just a second-level monk, could see through My illusion."
Gu Xu smiled and replied: "I am not very talented, but I have learned some techniques to strengthen my spiritual consciousness. Although your illusion is exquisite, it is not enough to confuse me. A little bit of heat." "I admit that you do have the strength that is worthy of my attention," the mummy continued, "It's just that everyone who saw my true face has turned into a dead corpse, but you smell fresh and delicious. No exception.”
"Then give it a try!" Gu Xu still had a smile on his face, without any fear on his face.
He could probably sense at this time that the strength of this mummy was not weak. It was an above-average "wild ghost" level ghost. It was similar to the original Painted Skin Ghost, and even a little stronger.
But now Gu Xu is no longer the same as before.
He has just been promoted to the second level, so he can use this evil ghost to estimate his current strength.
Therefore, he did not plan to use the "Tai Shang Arctic Demon-Suppressing Demon-Killing Talisman" for the time being, nor did he want to use spells such as "Solar Eclipse". Instead, he chose to directly try to condense the true energy and solve the opponent in the simplest and crudest way.
Soon, a ball of orange-red light appeared in his palm, like a warm fire in winter, or like the rising sun at dawn.
"A mere second-level monk wants to fight me with no swords, no spells, and just his true energy. Do you look down on me?" The mummy said in a mocking tone, "You have to know, in the past Those monks who looked down on me were all moved by me——"
"——Stop talking nonsense." Gu Xu interrupted.
He felt that this mummy should be the talkative ghost he had ever seen.
The mummy raised its right hand.
A thick black mist immediately rose around it.
It was as if black clouds were turning over the ink, and an army was pressing down on the city.
Then the mummy pointed at Gu Xu.
The black mist suddenly transformed into countless venomous snakes, scurrying towards Gu Xu's position, seeming to want to eat his flesh and blood, bite his bones and muscles, and bite him 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 ball of light in Gu Xu's hand was like the setting sun at dusk, falling powerlessly in the dim night, as if it was about to sink into the abyss of death.
"Sir, be careful!" Fan Zhou shouted from the side with a worried look on his face.
However, Gu Xu's expression remained calm and calm.
He was in the darkness, but his eyes were as bright as stars.
As his thoughts moved, the light of true energy in his hand became brighter and more majestic.
It’s like the sun is rising over the sea and the night is lingering.
Drive away the haze and reveal your brilliance.
Fan Zhou stared at Gu Xu’s figure in confusion——
I saw Tuo Tuo Tuo Tuo Tuo Tuo, like mountains and rivers.
Underfoot is the disintegrating darkness, and in front of you are bright fireworks.
“It’s really boring.”
Gu Xu stood on the dividing line between light and darkness, looked at the mummy in front of him, and silently shook his head.
As soon as he finished speaking, the sky was filled with fire.
The mummy instantly turned into ashes.
Gu Xu lowered his head and looked at his hands, thinking that this was the power of the second level monk.
He was very satisfied.
