mountain ghost

Chapter 32 The Woman in the Painting

"Sir, be careful..."

The voice was thin and weak, it came with the wind, and then drifted away with the wind, as if it was far away in the sky and yet close in front of you.

Lu Chen was slightly surprised. He opened his eyes and looked around, but he didn't find any sign of anyone else. At this time, besides himself, there was only the shopkeeper Chen, a traveling businessman in the temple, and the other party was leaning against the corner, as if he was already asleep.

'Is it some ghost ghost? '

Lu Chen frowned slightly.

He remembered that when he came back before, he also vaguely heard a woman's voice.

But this temple is his dojo, ordinary ghosts and ghosts, no matter how dare to break in casually, he didn't see any evil spirit or Yin energy, so he couldn't help being even more strange.

Be careful?

Be careful of what?
Is there something wrong with this crispy cake?

Lu Chen frowned and tried to search for the source of the voice, but found nothing. After the voice finished saying this sentence, it fell silent.

Lu Chen tried to communicate with him with divine thoughts.

"Who are you? Who's talking?"

After a long time, the voice came out again: "It turns out that sir can really hear me, that's great! Sir, I don't mean any harm, I just want to remind you that this wandering businessman is not a kind person, but a wanted flower picker , the crispy cake is poisonous, if you eat it, you will faint..."

poisonous?

Hearing this, Lu Chen's face changed slightly, and he tried to inject a wisp of spiritual energy into the pastry in his hand, and he saw traces of black energy that seemed to be absent.

It is indeed poisonous.

But it is not fatal, but a common drug in Jianghu, also known as Mongolian sweat medicine.

'I just said this guy didn't look right, it turned out to be a wanted fugitive.But I'm not a woman, and I've never met him before, so why did he murder me? '

Lu Chen was puzzled.

But it didn't show it at this time. He turned his head and glanced at the traveling businessman not far away, and didn't know if he was really sleeping or pretending to be sleeping.

Compared to this, Lu Chen was more curious about where that voice came from.

Because even if he used his spiritual power to investigate, he still couldn't accurately lock the breath of the other party, as if the speaker didn't exist here at all. You must know that now he can listen to the voice of the mountains, and ordinary methods such as blindfolding can't hide it. hold him.

Can't help but said again: "There is indeed a drug in this cake, but how do you know? You are so hidden, how can I believe what you said is true."

Hearing the words, the voice seemed to sigh, and said: "Mr. Mingjian. It's not that the little girl is hiding her head and showing her tail, but that she can't see each other."

"I can't meet each other, what do you mean? Are you a human or a ghost?"

"Mr. Hui, the little girl's name is Cuiniang. She was originally from Qinghua Village at the foot of the Taihang Mountains. She was kidnapped by the merchant because she accidentally ate the crispy cake recommended by the merchant. She put it in a scroll and couldn't get out, so I couldn't get along with her." See."

Said the voice.

Hearing this, Lu Chen turned his head and glanced at the picture scroll beside shopkeeper Chen. This guy had been protecting it by his side from the very beginning, and he seemed to attach great importance to it. Even when he was sleeping, he would put his hand on it.

Lu Chen was curious before, but he didn't expect that there is still heaven and earth in this scroll.

Is it a magic weapon?
But this merchant is completely a mortal, and I don't know where he got such a strange thing?

When I first returned to the temple, I did hear a faint woman's voice, and I thought it was a hallucination, but I didn't expect that there was a third person in the temple.

I was thinking so.

The voice came again, but it was obviously weaker.

"I was trapped in this painting and was taken away by him. My family members are now very anxious. I tried to call for help all the way, but no one could hear me. The master is miraculous and can see extraordinary things. Please be merciful and rescue me, Cui Niang is willing to be like an ox and a horse to repay your great kindness!"

"If it's what you said, of course I won't stand by. But you can't just rely on your family's words to determine the facts."

Lu Chen shook his head.

Although there is indeed a sweat medicine in this pastry, the medicine may have been secretly taken by the woman, and it does not mean that her words are true.

He has been wandering in the mountains for several months, and has seen many methods of goblins and ghosts, deceiving people, lying and deceiving, these are the most basic methods.

"Little girl's words are true, there is no falsehood. If you don't believe me, you just need to open the picture scroll to know the truth."

Hearing this, Lu Chen turned his head and took a look. The traveling businessman was very vigilant, and he didn't forget to hold the scroll in his hand when he was sleeping. It was a bit unrealistic to want to check without disturbing the other party.

Before ascertaining the truth, Lu Chen didn't want to do it directly, otherwise, if he fell into the trap and hurt a good person, it would not end well.

'If this person is really a thief with ulterior motives, if he poisons the pastry, he will not really fall asleep. I just need to pretend to eat the pastry and fall asleep, and he will reveal his true colors. '

thought here.

Lu Chen conveniently picked up a piece of crispy pastry, taking advantage of the cover of his sleeve, secretly sacrificed a cluster of flames, and burned it out at the entrance.

"Well, this pastry tastes pretty good..."

He said that on purpose.

Cui Niang in the picture scroll didn't know the details, she was a little anxious, and said repeatedly: "Sir, didn't I already tell you that the pastry is poisonous? Why are you still eating it? It's over, it's over..."

Lu Chen ignored her, pretended to be sleepy and dizzy, swayed, and then fell against the corner of the wall.

Secretly, he mobilized his spiritual consciousness, paying attention to the movements of the traveling businessman.

About half a stick of incense has passed.

Seemingly sure that he had been stunned, the traveling merchant turned over and stood up, revealing a gleaming short knife in his sleeve.

This guy didn't fall asleep from the beginning to the end, he was just dozing off.

If Lu Chen had just stepped forward to check rashly, he might have been plotted against.

Of course, with his spiritual body, as long as he is a little prepared, he is not too afraid of the damage of such ordinary weapons. He just needs to be cautious, and there is no big mistake in being careful.

"Sir, I have no grievances with you. I shouldn't have killed you. But I am wanted by the government, and my whereabouts cannot be revealed. You really shouldn't have met me. When you see Lord Yan, don't blame me, Mr. Chen It's also involuntary..."

As he said that, he stepped forward grabbing the knife, with a fierce look in his eyes.

He raised his hand and stabbed Lu Chen fiercely in the neck.

however.

The imagined picture of blood splattering did not appear.

At the same time as his saber fell, Lu Chen's body was disintegrated like sand, making his saber completely in vain. Shopkeeper Chen exclaimed, and then took a closer look to see if there was any figure in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, a strong pressure enveloped him.

bang.

The traveling businessman only felt a pain in his head, as if he was hit by a flying rock, and immediately passed out.

　First of all, I would like to say sorry to everyone, because the first time I came to the starting point, there are still many differences from before, and I am not used to it.So I wrote it in a hurry before, and there are many details that have not been dealt with well. I have been working on the follow-up plot outline for the past two days. I will go back and modify some details, but it will not affect the existing plot too much, so it is very easy to update the two days. Few, the grades of this book are good, it is impossible for eunuchs, and the revision of details and adjustment of direction have also been carefully considered. In order to go further, I hope everyone understands, let everyone down these days, sorry.
