Xie Lian turned his head around.
The one who spoke was the "Deadly Swift Saber Demon". He said, "The human aura on you is too heavy."
The group of ghosts said, "Puppeteer … it's understandable. He also has ghost energy on him. "
Deadly Rapier: "No, no.
Take a closer look. The Ghost Qi on this puppet master doesn't come from the inside at all. Instead, it seems like … it's coming from the outside. "
It was originally possible to bluff his way through by being tainted with ghost qi from the outside.
However, once he became the center of attention,
The details would be magnified. When this Quick Killer Saber Demon first came out to stir up trouble, he didn't seem to be in a good state of mind.
It was almost the same as the opening of the Heaven's Eye. Xie Lian still thought he was an insignificant character.
Who knew that it would not be easy to fool them. The ghost said: "This one seems to be very knowledgeable. So, was there a definite answer? How was he supposed to judge? Do you have any ideas? "
Quicksaber Demon: "Yes. There was a kind of prop.
We can determine what he is! "
He took something out of his sleeve. When the ghosts saw this, they immediately retreated in a large circle.
"Oh my god! You carry a yellow talisman with you?! I think you must be the priest who sneaked in! "
Deadly Swiftblade Demon said coldly, "Wrong! It's just that I killed a few Taoists on my way here.
He just casually took their things. This was just an ordinary yellow talisman. It could only be used to deal with small ghosts and small fries.
Since all of you were able to make it here, I believe that this talisman won't be able to do anything to you.
Watch carefully! "
After saying that, he smacked the door.
He placed the yellow talisman on his forehead. Sizzle, sizzle.
The yellow talisman burned into a wisp of black smoke in front of his face, and a black scorch mark was left on his forehead. The Swift Saber Demon wiped away the charred mark and said, "Although this talisman can't do anything to me, it's not a big deal.
But it can still leave a mark on my face. Can this prove my identity? "
Although talismans were used to deal with demons and ghosts, they could also be used to distinguish between humans and non-humans. Quick Fatal Blade Demon pointed at Xie Lian and said, "If you really are a puppet master, then stick this yellow talisman on your forehead. Let's see if the seal is left behind or not, and we'll know. "
Xie Lian did not bat an eyelid. His mind was racing, but he heard Hua Cheng say in a low voice, "It's nothing, brother."
Xie Lian knew that he was confident, so he put down the Flower City and walked forward calmly. He took the talisman and stuck it on his forehead. With a sizzling sound, the yellow talisman also burned into a wisp of black smoke. However, when the black smoke dissipated, Xie Lian's forehead was still bright and clean, without a trace left behind!
This proved that the Ghost Qi on his body came from an external source!
Apart from the cloaked man with his arms crossed, the hundreds of ghosts instantly surrounded them and started to shout. Many strange weapons were about to fly towards them, but they were all repelled by an invisible barrier. The ghosts were shocked. "Oh? His cultivation is quite high! "
Xie Lian spread his hands and said, "I didn't do anything."
At this moment, Hua Cheng, who was standing behind him, spoke.
He walked over with his hands behind his back and said, "You bunch of country bumpkins who haven't seen the world, what are you making a fuss about?"
"Hey, you little rascal, have you seen much of the world?"
"It's true that he doesn't have any Ghost Qi on his body. Who are you guys? Quickly tell me! "
Hua Cheng said, "Nonsense, of course he doesn't have any. That's because I'm the puppet master! "
As soon as he finished speaking, the group of ghosts felt an extremely cold air sweep over them, as if the entire area was frozen. Their bodies were originally cold, but now they all started to shiver. "… … What … … happened … …?"
Hua Cheng said, "I'm just letting you guys see a little of the world."
He retracted his aura, and the group of ghosts finally stopped shivering. The Quick-Killer Blade Demon said with lingering fear, "You … … You're a puppet master, and he's also a puppet master. Then who is the puppet master? No, no, he definitely isn't. Who is he? "
Before Hua Cheng could answer, Xie Lian smiled and said, "Of course I'm his person."
The group of ghosts was stunned for a while, but they finally understood.
"So … … so it's the other way around? He's the master, and you're the puppet?! "
The Quick-Killer Blade Demon asked suspiciously, "Then why did you say you were the puppet master before? Why did you lie? "
Hua Cheng smiled and said, "Because, I think it's interesting."
Xie Lian also smiled and said, "Yes. The master thinks it's interesting, that's the most important reason. "
After the female ghosts recovered from their shock, they retracted their claws and tongues and began to circle around Xie Lian again, discussing him. But for some reason, when the female ghosts were discussing him, their style was completely different from when they were discussing Hua Cheng. They seemed to be a lot more unrestrained. For example:
"So this little brother is the puppet? Aiya, I like this age, I want one even more! You really don't want to order one? "
Xie Lian warmly said, "This … … Thank you for liking me. But, I'm actually very old … … "
"This material is human skin, right? It was quite clean and did not have the pungent smell of a living man. Great Master, how did you take care of him? Did you use any perfume? "
Xie Lian said, "It's human skin. No perfume. Just bathe more and drink more water. "
"Wow, I feel like this doll can be used for many things! All kinds of things. His face and body aren't bad, huh? His skin feels quite good too. But he's a bit thin, I don't know if there's any meat underneath after taking off his clothes, hehehe … … "
Xie Lian maintained a modest and appropriate smile. Seeing that there really were female ghosts whose eyes lit up and were about to touch his chest, his eyebrows slightly twitched. Hua Cheng put two fingers together and slightly raised them. A circle of slender jade-like hands and withered hands were waved away by him. Xie Lian hurriedly crouched behind Hua Cheng and hid. The female ghosts said, "What? You also want to say that this is your doll. Does he have a bad temper and doesn't like other people touching him? I think his temper is quite good! "
Hua Cheng reached out a hand and hooked Xie Lian's chin, saying, "His temper is indeed good. But, I have a bad temper. The things I like, other than me, no one else can touch them. "
Xie Lian followed his gesture and obediently raised his head. He held back his laughter until his stomach twitched, but he was still very cooperative. Looking into Hua Cheng's eyes, he sincerely said, "No. Third … … Master's temper is very good. "
Hua Cheng also smiled, seeming very satisfied. Just as the two of them were singing along, a ghost at the side interrupted, "I still feel that he has too much of a human's scent."
The female ghosts said, "Then what do you want?"
The ghost said, "I heard that the fillings inside the doll are not flesh and blood, so it won't bleed if you stab it. Let me try stabbing him … …" Before it could finish, it was frightened by a dagger glare and dared not make another sound.
Hua Cheng said coldly, "Who dares to touch him? Do you think I can let you touch the things that I cherish in my heart? "
The group of ghosts was already intimidated by his aura, and now that he directly threatened them, they did not dare to act rashly. Unknowingly, they had already cleared out a large space in the middle of the group. The initiator of all this, Swift Blade Demon, saw that the situation was not good and instead tried to mediate, "Puppet master, please don't be angry. We have not entered Bronze Cauldron Mountain's territory yet, we can talk about what will happen after we enter. Let's not start an internal conflict now. "
Hua Cheng's gaze swept to the side, "Rather than pestering my doll, why don't you ask why that person over there still refuses to take off his cloak?"
Beside Xie Lian stood a strange cloaked man. After all this commotion, he still did not take off his cloak, and had his arms crossed as if he was watching the show. But after Hua Cheng singled him out, he could no longer watch the show, and the main character became himself. Swift Blade Demon took a step forward, "Friend, please take off your cloak and let us have a look."
The cloaked man paused for a long time. Just when Xie Lian suspected that he was waiting for an opportunity to escape, the cloaked man suddenly stretched out his hand and directly lifted his cloak.
Under the cloak was a handsome but ordinary face.
Such a person, if thrown into a crowd, although not ugly, would be quickly forgotten. No one would remember his face, causing the ghosts to be disappointed when they saw his true appearance. However, Xie Lian's vigilance was raised.
Hua Cheng said, "One look and I can tell it's a fake face."
Only Xie Lian could hear this voice. Xie Lian nodded. Sometimes, some Heavenly Officials or famous ghosts would need to make a trip to the mortal world, and it would be inconvenient for them to use their real body, so they would transform into a fake face. At this time, the key to shapeshifting was to be "ordinary". Whether it was good-looking or not, the more ordinary, the better. Even if people stared at the face for an hour, they would immediately forget it. Only then would it be considered a successful shapeshifting. This cloaked man's face perfectly met this key point, so this face was most likely not his real face. The only thing they didn't know was who this person was.
Swift Blade Demon handed over a yellow talisman. The cloaked man took it, and without the slightest hesitation, he pressed it against his forehead. Sizzle, sizzle, smoke, leaving a mark.
It seemed that he was also a ghost, not a human.
After a round of commotion, the ghosts were a little impatient, "Did a Heavenly Official sneak in or not?"
"Who was the first to mention it? Could it be a mistake? "
Swift Blade Demon raised his hand, "I was the first to discover it, it's absolutely true! I definitely smelled a Heavenly Official … AHHH! "
Who would have thought that he would suddenly scream and fall to the ground. Xie Lian was startled and rushed forward to take a look. There was a bloody hole in the man's body, piercing through his abdomen. Moreover, there was a faint trace of the spiritual aura that only a Heavenly Official would have!
The ghosts exclaimed, "Look at his wound! There's really a Heavenly Official among us! "
Swift Blade Demon covered the bloody hole and shouted, "Everyone be careful! He's trying to silence us! "
The ghosts were all shocked by this. Raising their weapons, they looked around and shouted, "Who is it?! Who wants to silence us?! Where is he hiding?! "
After Swift Blade Demon suffered that blow, the first thought that flashed through Xie Lian's mind was, 'Sure enough, people with such exaggerated names are often the first to be killed!' He paused for a moment, then said, "Everyone saw it just now. My master and I were being watched by all of you, but we didn't do anything." As he said that, he glanced at the cloaked man. The other person also raised his hand slightly and said in a low voice, "Same."
Xie Lian bent down to examine Swift Blade Demon's wound. "It's a sword wound. Among those who use swords, there are … "He turned his head and was immediately speechless. Swords were not only the most popular weapons in the human world and the Heaven Realm, but also in the Ghost Realm. Among the four hundred demons and ghosts, at least three hundred of them used swords. It was an uncountable number. Xie Lian coughed lightly. "If we had more of those yellow talismans, then we wouldn't have to worry about not knowing who it was."
Of course, he was just saying it casually, pretending to be enthusiastic. If there really was a Heavenly Official among them, he didn't want to help find them. This Swift Blade Demon couldn't possibly have so many yellow talismans in reserve. Who knew that as soon as he finished speaking, Swift Blade Demon really did pull out several thick stacks of yellow talismans. "Oh, I have them!"
"… …"
Xie Lian couldn't help but look behind him. "Where did you pull them out?"
Swift Blade Demon replied, "That's not important!"
Xie Lian replied, "No, it's very important. Normally, you wouldn't carry so many heavy things with you, right? You could use them as bricks to kill people … … How many Taoists did you kill on your way here? "
Swift Blade Demon glared at him. "Twenty or so."
… … No wonder. Even if each Taoist only carried a few dozen yellow talismans, there would still be a few hundred of them added up!
Without further ado, the ghosts were anxious to find out who the real Heavenly Official was. They quickly came up with a plan. In pairs, they would stick the yellow talismans on each other's foreheads. Then, they would observe if there were any burn marks left on their foreheads. Some of the ghosts were still a little afraid of the yellow talismans. "Are we really going to stick them on? Will it scatter my soul … … "
"It won't. It's exactly the same as the one we stuck on them just now. It's very weak, at most it'll leave a mark."
"Oh … …"
Hua Cheng narrowed his eyes, as if he had sensed something. Not long after, a large number of the four hundred or so ghosts had the same yellow talisman stuck on their foreheads. It looked strange and funny. However, nothing happened after they stuck the talismans on them.
The ghosts looked at each other in dismay. "What's going on?"
"Hey, Swift Blade Demon, what kind of Taoists did you kill? They're so weak that even the talismans don't work? "
Xie Lian had felt that something was wrong from the start. Now, he frowned even more. Just as he was about to speak, a female ghost beside him pouted. "I'm not sticking anymore, tear … … Huh? What's going on? Why can't I tear them?? "
The female ghosts all screamed, "Me too! Why can't I tear them?! "
Oh no!
At the same time, Hua Cheng shouted, "Brother, squat down!"
