Chapter 45 Human Skin Figurines
Xie Xuan and Xiaoxiao grew up together. While they were babbling, they could say something that only they understood.
When Xie Xuan heard that "the short man is a shadow puppet", he immediately changed color. He pulled out the peach wood sword from behind and held it in his hand. He watched those people gathered together and thought about how to warn them.
He was about to speak when the old Taoist priest turned over and sat up, stretching his waist.
The old Taoist priest was drunk and could not even open his eyes. At this time, he opened his eyes, his eyes shining brightly, and nodded to Xiaoxiao: "The little baby has good eyes."
After saying that, he walked around the tree, lifted the yellow talismans and threw them into the fire.
When the cinnabar encounters fire, the flame suddenly jumps up. The few people who are still making noise stop and look at him one after another. The tall man said, "Old Taoist, what are you doing? How did you reveal the talisman?"
The old Taoist priest stretched his waist again: "If you don't lift it down, that thing will come."
The dwarf stood up at some point, and stood quietly behind the old Taoist, adding a little cinnabar to the fire, illuminating the fine shadow behind him with some outline.
A stunner saw it and said, "Look, what's behind him?"
Wherever the few people looked, they saw the shadow of the dwarf narrow and slender, without a single shape of a dwarf. When they blinked again, the dwarf retreated into the shadow.
The madman started howling at this moment, his tongue broke and he couldn't scream at all, but he shouted one after another, and the sorrow of his feelings shook people's hearts.
The few people were about to suppress him, but he took a step back and pulled out Zheng Kaishan's treasure sword and cut everyone away with one knife.
He is the most promising escort in the Longwei Escort Agency. He plays a great sword. When the dance is about to open, the swords are all fatal means, and it seems that they will kill all these people.
The knife in his hand was fast, but he kept wailing in his mouth, and his face looked very sad. When the tip of the knife pointed at Zheng Kaishan, it shrank back two more minutes.
The fire shone, and saw the madman's face full of tears. He stood there, his chest kept rising and falling, turned around and cut off the red line formation, and rushed into the woods and night.
This incident happened in an instant, and everyone was at a loss for the madman's actions. He was crazy, but they could not point their swords at their brothers. Instead, they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him escaping into the night.
One of the corpsesses named Lu, named Mafang, usually got along with him and asked, "Do you want to go find him?"
Zheng Kaishan looked calm and shook his head: "No need, let him go." He probably guessed in his heart how those corpses died.
The short man just now lay behind the old Taoist. While everyone was staring at the madman, he quietly took action. His fingers were stretched thinly, and the person was taller than before, and his fingertips stabbed the old Taoist's back.
Xie Xuan jumped forward and took off the short man's attack with one sword.
The short man was so excited by Xie Xuan's sword that he shook back two steps. He did not retreat, his legs shaking, as if he was unstable, and his whole body shook as well.
It’s like a shadow puppet that can only move by folding hands and feet.
When the short man was attacked, how could his tall brother jump to his brother and point his sword at Xie Xuan: "What a little thief, how dare you plot against us brothers!"
He didn't know that his brother was already a shadow puppet, and he had no idea why his brother suddenly attacked the old Taoist, but he couldn't see the dwarf being targeted by the two of them.
Xie Xuan shouted loudly: "Your brother is no longer your brother, please stay away from him."
"Don't you go! My brother is not my brother, but your real father!" The tall man took advantage of the word. He stabbed Xie Xuan with a sword and said to his brother behind him, "You attack the left, I attack the right, let's take this little thief together."
The two of them had mediocre sword skills, but they had a tacit understanding. When the tall man shouted this, he should have held the sword forward, but he was just standing in the shadow.
Xie Xuan did not want to hurt anyone, and the sword tip was stinging: "Look carefully, if he is your brother!"
When the tall man looked back, he saw his brother standing in the shadow, not moving or talking, which made the tall man a little suspicious and called him: "Brother, you say something."
The short man still didn't say anything, just looked at the tall man, raised his arm, and waved at him.
The tall man naturally believed in his brothers. He also acted as Xie Xuan and the old Taoist priest were in a suffocating relationship. He quickly walked towards the shorter man and asked him, "Brother? What's wrong?"
Xie Xuan shouted "Don't go", and raised a thick piece of firewood in the fire to the toes. The lit firewood drew a line of fire in the air, and the light was shining on the tall man's head.
He reached out to block it, but he saw his brother standing there motionless. The shadow behind him stood upright, pulled up one of his brother's hands, and waved at him one by one.
The tall man's hair stood up and took a step back: "What is it...what?"
The old Taoist priest continued: "It's something that is not human, not ghost."
He just tore off the talisman posted by the middle-aged man, and at this moment his body turned around and faced the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man who had been silent all the time buzzed: "You and I don't miss the river, why bother me to ruin my good things? When I get treasures in the city, I will share you with one or two."
He glanced at the dwarf with a sinister look. Only one of them could only go in and not come out. One was not enough.
He finally sacrificed his life with the blood of the living horse three times, and left another living mouth. The "city gate" was about to be opened and could not be broken in the hands of this old Taoist priest.
Before the veteran could take action, the middle-aged man shook the rope from his sleeve, wrapped the dwarf all over, and rushed up from his feet, and pulled the dwarf into the forest.
The old Taoist priest pulled out a whisk from behind. The hair on it was no longer visible in color, and his feet were as windy as he could see, and he could not see any drunkenness. He said to Xie Xuan: "Little boy keeps the formation, and the old Taoist priest will come when he goes."
Xie Xuan raised his sword and chased him to the side of the formation: "Old Senior!"
The tall man looked at his brother as if he was being pulled away, and was still worried about his safety in fear: "Brother!" When he was about to chase him out, he felt that there were strange black shadows everywhere in the forest. He gritted his teeth and howled, which was somewhat similar to the madman's cry just now.
The madman cut off the red line and ran away with a knife. The people in the red line formation were still surrounded by one place. At this time, everyone was in danger. Unexpectedly, the master brought out took the lead and started to take the lead.
The two trees looked like a door. The thin and narrow shadows were originally surrounded by the red line array, but they rushed to the door, eager to step in from outside the "door".
Xiaoxiao was more anxious than everyone. She was soft and her voice was very clear in the noise: "Retreat to the edge of the fire, I'll make up for it!"
As he said that, he took out a red line from the bamboo basket, attached a yellow talisman to both ends of the red line, and threw out the paper crane: "Go!"
The paper crane flew up into the sky, its sharp beak swayed the yellow talisman, passed by the tree, and sealed the "door" with a red line.
There were many ghosts outside the circle, and Xiaoxiao didn't dare to take risks rashly. She tied the red rope on the other end to the handle of the dagger and wanted to nail it to the tree, but she tried her best to stab it, but she just inserted the tip of a knife.
Zheng Kaishan took the dagger and said, "I'll do it." The dagger was inserted into the bark core. After doing this, he asked again, "What else do you want to do?"
Xiao Xiao stared at his shadow and looked at it carefully. The shadow was still his shadow. She breathed a sigh of relief: "Around the fire, let the cinnabar fire shine your shadow."
It was too late to seal the formation, and a few black shadows entered the formation and collided with the trooper's hands head-on. I could see it just now, but I don't know where to hide now.
I don’t know if they are hiding behind people and turning these people into living shadow puppets.
Zheng Kaishan immediately spoke, he was very kind all the way, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone is surrounded by a circle of fire, illuminating the shadows. Whoever refuses to step forward, don't blame me for being rude."
He had no knife in his hand, but no one dared to disobey him as soon as he opened his mouth. After saying this, he stepped forward first, moved his hands and feet in front of the fire, proving his innocence.
Xiaoxiao stuffed a red rope to Zheng Kaishan: "I asked them to take a photo one by one. If there is anything wrong, you will tie the person up. There is a cinnabar talisman on the rope, and that thing will not hurt you."
Xiaoxiao didn't know what it was, she had never seen such a ghost before.
Although ghosts in the world can stretch and shorten, they still maintain their appearance when they die. These things only have hands, feet, no facial features, and even "human appearance". I don't know what kind of death is.
Xiaoxiao stood beside the fire, and there were more than a dozen people standing together. She pointed at one of them, and the man came forward and shone in the fire.
Xie Xuan rushed to Xiaoxiao, dipped his fingers in cinnabar, and painted the talisman of the Nine Phoenix Destroying General on each tree, and said, "Please guard this place and ensure that all the disciples are safe overnight."
After reciting the spell, he stared at the shadows of those people with Xiaoxiao, one after another, after each person was photographed, he still lit cinnabar and drew cinnabar talismans in his palms.
"A single stroke of this talisman will not invade evil."
The shadows of more than a dozen people were the same as theirs. At the last one, the man's face was as dark as the face, and his legs were trembling. He was the stooge who had just entered the forest with the short guy.
He took a photo by the fire, raised his hand and moved his legs. The shadow was exactly the same as his movements. More than a dozen people stared at him, and he was not at all unusual, and he was about to breathe a sigh of relief.
Xiaoxiao made a move like lightning, and the yellow talisman was thrown away. Xie Xuan jumped up and stabbed the man with the tip of the peach wood sword.
Everyone changed their colors, and one of them asked, "What's going on? His shadow is not the same as us..."
Before he finished speaking, Huang Fu made a phantom. This person was so strong that he was in a strong life. There was a narrow black shadow hidden in his shadow. He was hit by Huang Fu. The two shadows were scattered and slowly merged.
The shadow learner learned vividly, and Xiaoxiao couldn't see any difference in shadows. She couldn't remember how many lights there were on each of the dozen people.
But just now, the last light on the man's head suddenly disappeared.
Seeing that someone had seen it, the ghost took two steps back, stretched out his shadow with his thin hands, grabbed the shadow, and pulled it on both sides.
Everyone in the array stared at the black shadow. Except for the sound of fire, everything else was silent, but it seemed like a "hiss" sound sounded in his ears.
The man was intact, but his shadow was torn in two halves, and the black shadow emerged from the gap between the two halves.
It stretched its hands and feet and threw away the skin that was too big to space. It twisted around the head and looked at everyone.
The black shadow emerged from the human skin, and the big man immediately fell to the ground, leaving no breath.
Xie Xuan formed a formation with one hand and dipped it in the other hand, and drew it with one stroke. The black shadow was not afraid, and he also took two steps towards the fire.
The situation was really strange just now. Even Zheng Kaishan had never seen him in his life. The remaining stintsmen took a step back.
The black shadow turned to Xiaoxiao, as if looking at her body, and even shrank itself, shrinking to the same size as Xiaoxiao, standing like her.
This thing actually stared at the weak little soul.
Xie Xuan was furious: "Rareless!"
Doudou was curled up in her little arms. At this time, she poked her head out of her clothes, opened the mouth of the big snake, and spit out a red letter at the black shadow. Her snake teeth bit her body and even teared off one of her arms.
Everyone could only see the shadow on the ground, and saw the little snake biting the black shadow's arm and swallowing it into their stomachs.
