The Trick of Longevity, Paper-cutting Becomes a Spirit

Chapter 264 Fang Xianggui

Hearing the sound of wooden fish knocking outside, Xiaofeng and others would soon arrive in Lu Qian's room.

Everyone has already known about Lu Qian's "ghost hunting" plan.As soon as Bai Tan entered the door, he said to Lu Qian, "Shall we go out now?"

Hei Wa had now grown his left eye and could see. The previous depression was gone. He was standing there excitedly, looking eager to try.

Lu Qian waved his hand and said, "There's no rush."

With that said, he reached out and rummaged through the pile of paper brides, picked out Qin Yingying and released her.

Qin Yingying is not very strong among Lu Qian's paper brides, but her ability is very special.

Lu Qian watched Qin Yingying appear and said to her, "Yingying, look at the situation outside."

"Yes, my lord."

Qin Yingying responded, then came to the gable at the back of the room, stretched out her hand, and pressed it against the wall.

The next moment, the entire wall suddenly disappeared.

After the wall disappeared, there was a dark night sky outside and a medium-wide street.

Sifang Inn is known as the "highest standard" in Gushan County, and its area is quite large. The entire inn spans two streets.Lu Qian's room faced another street beyond the back gable.

At this time, in Lu Qian's spacious room, the three-foot-long back gable disappeared, leaving only three other walls. The roof was suspended on one side, and the floor seemed to extend to the edge of the street.

Wang Zirong looked surprised. She looked at the street in front of her and walked forward, as if she wanted to stroll down the street.However, when she reached the original position of the back gable, she suddenly paused.

She reached forward and touched it, then she came to her senses and asked, "Is this wall still there?"

Qin Yingying didn't like words. When he saw her question, he just nodded.

Lu Qian said: "This is the ghost technique that Yingying awakened by herself. I call it 'water curtain visualization'. Her ability can display the image behind the obstacle. Just like this wall, it actually still exists, but with The eyes looked like they had disappeared out of thin air.”

Wang Zirong nodded and said with envy: "A very practical ability."

Although it is not a powerful ghost technique, it is indeed useful in certain situations.

In particular, it layers images behind several walls.

Not only did the wall disappear visually, but the sound barrier also lost its blocking effect.The sound of wooden fish tapping in my ears was suddenly several times louder than before.

The sound of knocking on wood and fish gradually "moved" towards them from far away.

Not long after, a group of people appeared outside.

These people all have bald heads and wear gray monk robes. Each of them holds a wooden fish in his left hand and a mallet in his right hand, and they beat them rhythmically, making the sound of knocking the wooden fish.

They all looked young, only in their twenties, with solemn expressions, eyes closed, and walking in uniform steps on the street.

However, the strange thing is that they are all obviously alive, but their faces are as green as a corpse.

Seeing this scene, Lu Qian suddenly remembered.

Last night, they took a short rest for two hours in an ownerless temple.

Hei Wa once discovered a well in the backyard of that temple.A large number of corpses of bald monks were submerged in the well water.

The expressions on those corpses were almost exactly the same as those of the monks in front of them.

"Yeah, Lu Qian, look..."

At this time, Hei Wa finally remembered, with a look of surprise on his face.

Lu Qian nodded, expressing his understanding.

Then, he covered his eyes with his spiritual power.

Lu Qian's eyes suddenly turned into electric blue. When he looked out again, the scene in front of him changed.

Originally, these monks all lowered their heads slightly, closed their eyes tightly, and walked forward one after another.

But at this moment, these monks all turned their faces to look at Lu Qian.

Their eyes were all opened, and there was some gray and black color in their eyes.

Their bodies still maintained a forward posture, and they were walking forward while knocking on the wooden fish.

The heads on their necks seemed to have rotated half a circle, looking extremely uncoordinated.

On their bodies, there is a white Yang Qi and a black Yin Qi, entangled together and curling up.

Lu Qian's spiritual eyes can see various "qi" in people.

White represents the yang energy of a living person.

Black represents the yin energy of the dead.

Gold represents the spirit of the gods.

Cyan represents the evil spirit of fairies.

These are all things Lu Qian figured out on his own through various experiences these days.

The four colors of white, black, gold, and cyan are usually not normal colors, but will show various deflection colors that are mainly positive colors.

For example, the whiter the smoke on a person's body, the stronger the yang energy of the person, and usually, the stronger his life characteristics.

If the white air is gray, it means that the person is injured or sick, and his vital characteristics will become weaker.

The stronger the gray, or even when it changes to black characteristics, the person is most likely to have been corrupted by evil ghosts, or has cultivated the ghost path.

The smoke emitted by these monks is a mixture of black and white, with black being strong and white being weak.

This was the first time Lu Qian had seen this situation.

Could it be that……

Are these monks possessed by ghosts?

Lu Qian was thinking as the group of 18 people in front of him passed by them and then disappeared.

Lu Qian frowned slightly. If his guess was correct, this matter would be interesting.

When entering the city in the morning, Lu Qian first received a warning from the city guard sergeant that the city was not peaceful at night and he should not go out no matter what he heard.

Later, from the breakfast stall owner, Lu Qian learned that the city was haunted at night, or "Fang Xianggui".

However, monks from Guanghua Temple in the city will patrol the streets at night to drive away "Fang Xiang ghosts".

Lu Qian also confirmed this statement from the shopkeeper of Sifang Inn.However, what Lu Qian saw at night was monks patrolling the streets.

But these monks were all possessed by ghosts.

Lu Qian took out Baize, called it out, and asked directly: "What is Fang Xianggui?"

Bai Ze replied: "If there are people who are involved in fire-related professions and die after falling into a well, they will turn into fierce ghosts after death, and they are called Fangxiang ghosts."

Lu Qian listened and wondered: "What does this have to do with 'Fang Xiang'?"

Bai Ze said: "Fang Xianggui has a unique ability to possess anyone, and can obtain the possessed person's memories and abilities."

It is a routine operation of ghosts to possess a living person.

However, it is indeed a bit unusual to directly obtain the memories and abilities of living people through possession.

Lu Qian understood somewhat. He nodded and said, "In other words, whoever Fang Xianggui possesses will become that person."

Bai Ze did not answer, indicating that Lu Qian answered correctly.

At this moment, Lu Qian suddenly heard a knock on the door.

The visitor knocked twice and called out: "Sir, are you not sleeping?"

Judging from the voice, he is the innkeeper.

Lu Qian winked and told Qing Lin, Hei Wa, Qin Yingying and Bai Ze to go to the inner room to hide for a while, and then said: "Come in."

The innkeeper pushed the door open and said to Lu Qian with a smile on his face: "Sir, dinner is ready. Can you bring it to the room?"

Lu Qian glanced at the shopkeeper and said, "Okay, bring them all."

"Yes."

After saying that, the shopkeeper waved to the door, and immediately several shop assistants entered the room with various dishes in their hands, and then placed them on the table.

After several shop assistants had exited, the shopkeeper said with a flattering smile on his face: "Sir, these are our specialty dishes, please enjoy them."

Lu Qian glanced at the table and said with a smile, "It looks pretty good."

There are four dishes and one soup on the table.

A whole golden carp looks like it weighs seven or eight pounds.

The whole roasted chicken is white and tender, with its head held high. It looks lively and appetizing.

Small white worms, each as big as a silkworm chrysalis, were placed on a large plate, with golden soup poured on them.

Lu Qian couldn't even name this dish.

The last one is a whole roasted suckling pig. The whole suckling pig is lying on the plate. It is the same color as amber. It looks like it is roasted on the outside and tender on the inside. It is smooth in the mouth.

In the center of the four dishes was a large basin of snake soup.

A green snake with stripes on its body was coiled in the milky white soup. The snake's head was raised and opened wide, and the bright red snake spit out, making it look like a living thing.

However, the rich aroma that hits your nose indicates that this is a sumptuous meal.

In addition to the dishes, there is also a pot of wine and four exquisite glasses.

When the shopkeeper heard Lu Qian's compliment, he immediately said with a smile on his face: "Sir, you may have tasted other dishes, but this 'Golden Soup White Cicada' is a local specialty and is difficult to see outside." of."

After Lu Qian heard what he said, he turned to look at the plate of white bugs poured with golden soup. They turned out to be cicada pupae?

It looks nothing like it.

After saying that, the shopkeeper turned back and waved towards the door.

Then, two little girls in plain clothes walked in.

The two little girls looked very young, a little shy, and both had their heads lowered.

The shopkeeper said to Lu Qian: "The clerks in the shop are all rough people. It will be inconvenient to take care of the two ladies. I specially went to find two smart girls and sent them to take care of the ladies."

Hearing the shopkeeper say "two ladies", Wang Zirong looked a little unnatural and glanced at Xiaofeng secretly.

Xiaofeng was paying attention to the delicacies on the table at this time, and obviously didn't pay attention to the shopkeeper's words at all.

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, without waiting for Lu Qian to agree or not, he immediately said to the two little girls: "You two, raise your heads and let the guests see."

After he said this, the words he just used to "serve the two ladies" immediately seemed empty.

After hearing this, the two little girls in green slowly raised their heads and looked at Lu Qian secretly.

These two people were obviously still young and looked like they had never seen the world.

Lu Qian looked at the two of them. Their little faces were young and unpainted, as if they had not yet bloomed; their bodies were even more slender, like four budding flower bones.

How can these two untouched little girls take care of people?

It might be okay to just "take care" of the officials.

Lu Qian looked the two of them up and down unceremoniously, and then smiled and said, "She looks like an inexperienced little girl. Can you take care of your wife?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you have good eyesight. They are indeed unmanned."

He didn't answer a word to Lu Qian's subsequent questions.

Lu Qian also smiled and said, "Yes, the shopkeeper is very thoughtful."

Seeing that Lu Qian was satisfied, the shopkeeper was overjoyed and said with a smile, "As long as the guest likes it."

After saying that, the shopkeeper cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, please enjoy it slowly. I will take my leave."

With that said, the shopkeeper took two steps back, then turned around and walked out the door.

The moment he turned around, Lu Qian's eyes looking at his back were suddenly filled with blue light.

The moment the blue light appeared, Lu Qian saw that the shopkeeper, who was walking out the door with his back to him, had his face facing back.

His face was full of a proud smile, and his eyes looked at Lu Qian teasingly.

The blue light covering Lu Qian's eyes flashed away and returned to normal.

The shopkeeper in front of him walked out of the door, turned around and closed the door.
