The Trick of Longevity, Paper-cutting Becomes a Spirit

Chapter 341 The witchy girl in red
Before Lu Qian even raised his head to look at the woman next to him, he heard her voice.

However, even if he didn't hear her voice, he thought he had been discovered by the other party.

Lu Qian only hesitated for a moment, then continued to raise his head and look up without stopping.

What caught his eye was a pair of pink trousers with a dark red skirt covering the trousers, almost covering his entire leg.

The dark red skirt is edged with apricot patterns, and there are two ribbons of the same apricot color hanging from the center of the body.

She stood tall and straight, her waist tightened, and her lower abdomen suddenly bulged upwards, completely blocking Lu Qian's sight, so that he couldn't even see her face.

Who is this woman?Is she hiding here in ambush?Or is she responsible for observing the realm from the top of the mountain?
At this time, she suddenly leaned forward and bent down.

Then, Lu Qian saw a face.

It should be considered a woman's face.

The makeup on her face was very thick, making her face look pale without a trace of blood. Paired with this bright red dress, she appeared in this quiet night. At first glance, she looked a bit scary.

It can be seen that this woman loves beauty. In addition to her face being covered with thick makeup, she also wears a red string on her forehead.On the red rope, there is also a series of yellow exquisite small copper bells.

but--

Maybe it would be better if she didn't dress up.

With this outfit, his whole face immediately turned ugly.

What a shame for such a good figure.

She bent down, stretched out two slender jade fingers, picked up the hummingbird from Lu Qian's perspective, put it in front of her eyes, observed it carefully for a while, and then said in a sweet voice:

"Paper-cutting? These days, there are still people practicing paper-cutting? This is really strange."

At this moment, Lu Qian suddenly felt something.

Then, he suddenly exited the hummingbird's perspective.

After returning to his own perspective, Lu Qian opened his eyes and saw a dozen more night owls on the deck.

Among them was a night owl, holding a dragon-headed walking stick.

This is the return of the night owls who went after the old woman.

Lu Qian took the dragon-head crutch and looked at it in his hand.

This crutch seems to be made of ironwood. It is very hard, but has the warmth of wood.

The dragon scales and dragon heads on the crutches are very delicately carved and lifelike.However, the appearance of this dragon is different from what we see every day.

This dragon looks a bit evil no matter how it looks, and its eyes are very fierce.

The whole crutch had a sinister air, and it looked like it was not an object for living people.

This is obviously a ghost weapon.

Lu Qian only looked at it and threw it to Ji Siyu.

Ji Siyu held the dragon-head crutch, pretended to lean on it, and then said, "Ms. sir, I'm not an old woman. Isn't it a little early to use a crutch?"

Even though she said this, her face was already blooming with joy, as if she was getting an advantage and still being good.

Lu Qian turned his head and ignored her.

When Ji Siyu saw this, she immediately quit. She ran a few steps, threw herself on the road, kissed him on the face, and then gave up.

Lu Qian stretched out his hand to wipe his face and said to everyone: "The real owner has been found. Let's fly over now."

After everyone heard this, their spirits were lifted.This hard work was finally not in vain.

Lu Qian slightly adjusted the direction of Guifan's movement, and then walked into the cabin.

At this time, Mi Guanghao and Gu Yunwen were both sitting quietly in the cabin. When they saw Lu Qian coming in, they both stood up.

Lu Qian waved to them, then took out a fire folder, blew it up, and took out the map of Lone Wolf Ridge and spread it on the table.

After searching on the map, Lu Qian finally found the location of Sickle Valley.

He stretched out his finger and tapped heavily on Sickle Valley.

Migu and Migu naturally heard what Lu Qian just said outside.

Gu Yundeng immediately asked: "Are they in Sickle Valley?"

Lu Qian nodded and said, "That's right, and it's still a fierce battle."

Gu Yundeng asked: "Are they the Xiao family?"

Lu Qian shook his head and said, "I couldn't see the faces clearly, but there are a lot of people. Except for those who haven't come over yet, the fifteen teams that entered Lone Wolf Ridge are probably all gathered there."

Gu Yundeng's eyes lit up and he said: "Let them fight first, and when they fight to the point where both sides are injured, we will end it, and it will be decided in one fell swoop!"

Lu Qian smiled and said: "That's true. But the timing of this end is hard to predict. Is there anything special about Sickle Valley? Why is it specially marked on the map, but there is no indication of any kind of ghost on it. .”

After hearing this, Gu Yundeng's expression suddenly froze.He was not very familiar with the situation on the left line and could not answer this question.

Seeing this, Lu Qian turned his attention to Mi Guanghao.

Mi Guanghao is indeed someone who is very familiar with Lone Wolf Ridge. He said: "The map of Lone Wolf Ridge is based on the maps passed down by the predecessors and has been continuously processed and supplemented by future generations. There are no dangers in Sickle Valley. thing because there are no specific ghosts there.

However, despite this, this place is actually a dangerous place and one of the three major difficulties on the entire left line. "

Gu Yundeng frowned and said, "Then can't we go around here?"

Mi Guanghao smiled and said: "Everything that is marked as a route is because it is the safest place in the surrounding area."

Gu Yundeng's face turned slightly red after hearing this.As soon as he raised this question, he already remembered it, but when he wanted to take it back, it was already too late.

Mi Guanghao continued: "However, it is quite intriguing that they chose this place to start the war. Could it be that someone set up an ambush there in advance and carried out an ambush?"

Lu Qian nodded and said: "The possibility is very high. The terrain of Sickle Valley is very suitable for beating dogs behind closed doors. Once locked in, it may be difficult to escape."

After hearing this, Mi Guanghao suddenly came to his senses and said, "That's right. Moreover, if we intercept someone in Sickle Valley, the road ahead will be smooth and there will be no dangerous passes. If we want to intercept him again, it will be even more difficult."

After saying that, Mi Guanghao thought for a moment and then said: "It seems that after entering Lone Wolf Ridge, someone directly selected this ambush place, waiting for the successful person to return successfully before taking action."

Lu Qian listened and glanced at Mi Guanghao.

It seemed that Mi Guanghao knew more than he thought.

Thinking of this, Lu Qian tried to ask: "There is a person. Let me describe him and see if you recognize him."

As he spoke, Lu Qian described the appearance of the woman in red he had just seen in detail.

This woman's appearance was so distinctive that Lu Qian felt that Gu Yundeng and Mi Guanghao would recognize her immediately if they saw or heard of her.

Sure enough, before Lu Qian finished speaking, the expressions of Gu Yundeng and Mi Guanghao had all changed.

Gu Yundeng's eyes widened and he said with a look of disbelief: "How could she come? How is this possible!"

Mi Guanghao also shook his head and said to himself: "What is she doing here? It is impossible for her to be interested in purple carboxylate."

Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Lu Qian was shocked and asked in a deep voice, "Who is this woman?"

Mi Guanghao and Gu Yundeng looked at each other, and then Mi Guanghao said: "Let me speak."

Gu Yundeng nodded.

Mi Guanghao paused for a moment before saying, "Young Master must know how to ask Tianjian?"

Lu Qian was startled and said, "Is she from the Tianjian?"

Mi Guanghao shook his head and said: "No. However, when Wentianjian was established, they began to recruit talents from all over the world. Their main target was casual cultivators."

Lu Qian nodded.Wentianjian wanted to recruit people from those big sects, but it was a pity that they wouldn't go.

Mi Guanghao continued: "At that time, the conditions offered by Wentianjian were extremely favorable, and a large number of casual cultivators from all over the world applied for them. To be honest, even I was very excited. Unfortunately, my cultivation level was too low at the time. , people look down on me. Now...hehehe, I'm already old, and people won't want me anymore."

Hearing this, Gu Yundeng frowned slightly and couldn't help but continued: "In recent years, Wentianjian has indeed recruited many masters, and its strength has expanded very quickly."

The Gu family is one of the five great cultivator families. Strictly speaking, they are now integrated with the sect, but they are clearly on the opposite side of the imperial court.

The family has a long history and is deeply involved in the world. Many of their descendants even serve in the court.

Therefore, the five major aristocratic families were quite unstable between the imperial court and the sects, and there was never a definite conclusion.

It's just that in recent years, after His Majesty ascended the throne, he was quite resistant to the children of aristocratic families entering the government, and began to suppress the aristocratic families.

This will of course arouse the resentment of the major families, and they will begin to move closer to the sect again.

Today——

One path, two Buddhas, three mountains, four swords, five surnames, and six sects.

These 21 sects have secretly become one, and their opposition to the imperial court has become increasingly clear.

In the land of Dali, the imperial court and the sect were the two largest forces.

The two giants began to compete overtly and covertly, and their control over the ghosts became relaxed.

In the past, the management of Yingui outside the jurisdiction of the city and the sect was not strong.But once the Yin ghosts enter the city or the sect's sphere of influence, both parties will immediately suppress them and "clear the city" to eradicate the extended Yin ghosts as soon as possible.

However, nowadays, in many cities, the number of ghosts is increasing day by day.

This is especially serious in the northern cities.

Even like the "God of Joy" in Dinghezhou City, some ghosts have begun to make their home in the city.

However, the imperial court has an ambiguous attitude towards this. It has claimed several times that it will launch a "city cleansing" operation, but there has been no movement.

There is no other reason. The main energy of the imperial court has long been involved elsewhere, and it is unwilling to lose its own strength in order to clean up the ghosts.The major sects are even more concerned about it and are becoming more and more indifferent to it.

Only some low-level disciples still continue their original inertia and must eliminate evil spirits at the sight of them.The senior leaders of the major sects also let it go without restraint.

Perhaps, they want the lower-level disciples to gain more experience. Anyway, they will only suffer some losses and will not have much impact on the sect.

All kinds of reasons combined have resulted in the current embarrassing situation.

Ghosts are everywhere in the world, but they are not very harmful to humans.

At least the imperial court and the senior officials of the sect believed that the harm would be minor.

Low-level disciples from large sects, small and medium-sized forces, casual cultivators, and local officials occasionally came out to clean up a small number of ghosts, but they never affected the overall situation.

However, the high-end power of the entire Dali has been withdrawn and has become less and less active outside.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that we are now on the eve of a major turmoil.

At some point, it only takes a spark to ignite, and the entire Dali will explode.

The earth is shaking and the mountains are shaking.

As one of the five surnames, the Gu family would naturally be very concerned about the imperial court, especially Wentian Prison.

Gu Yundeng was naturally very familiar with the rise and development of Wentian Prison.

At this time, Gu Yundeng couldn't help but said: "However, in recent years, there have been three people that Wentian Supervisor wanted very much, but couldn't ask for.

These three people are also casual cultivators. "

As he spoke, Gu Yundeng subconsciously glanced outside the cabin and said, "One of these three people is Guo Tuan."

Lu Qian was a little surprised when he heard Gu Yundeng's words.

With Guo Tuan's strength, I'm afraid he can't afford such attention, right?

but--

Lu Qian raised his head, thought for a moment, and said, "As for the Tianjian, it must have been 30 years since it was established?"

After hearing Lu Qian's words, Gu Yundeng and Mi Guanghao looked at Lu Qian, Guo Tu's husband, with a strange look on their faces.

Mi Guanghao pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right. And it took more than 30 years for Guo Tuan to become famous."

That's natural, at least it will have to wait until she becomes famous before Wentian Prison will take a fancy to her.

Regarding the weird looks in Gumi's eyes, Lu Qian naturally understood what they meant.

In the eyes of outsiders, Guo Tuan has been famous for at least 40 to [-] years, so one can imagine her age.

Lu Qian, on the other hand, looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old.

However, Lu Qian knew that the so-called "Guo Shoun" they called was actually two people.

The former "Guo Shoun" is now Guo Shoun's master.

After her master's death, Guo Tuo continued to use his master's name.

Guo Tuan's master was of course more powerful than her, so it was understandable that he would be noticed by Wentian Supervisor back then.

Almost no one except Lu Qian knew this secret.

Naturally, Lu Qian would not explain to the two of them, and immediately asked: "Of the three people you mentioned who asked the Heavenly Supervisor for help, is the other one the woman in red that I just described?"

Mi Guanghao nodded and said: "Yes, no one knows this person's real name. Because she likes to wear red clothes, pretend to be white, and often appears at night, outsiders call her the 'Red Dressed Ghost Girl'. But... "

Having said this, Mi Guanghao hesitated for a moment and said, "But whether she is a woman or not is still open to question..."

Uh……

The figure of this ghost girl in red is more feminine than most women.

It's just that her face looks a bit like a man's.

It is understandable that the outside world has such speculation.

However, Lu Qian didn't care about this.

Lu Qian asked: "How strong is she? Since she is called 'Ghost Girl', then she is also a warlock?"

Mi Guanghao said: "Very strong. At least 30 years ago, she had a strength of no less than fifth level, even more powerful than Guo Tuan."

Hearing these words, Lu Qian's eyebrows couldn't help but jump.

She had fifth-level strength 30 years ago, so what will her strength be 30 years later?
No wonder she saw through her paper-cutting skills at a glance.

Although this woman is covered in thick powder, she looks to be no less than 40 or [-] years old from the outside, which is very different from the "intermittent" in the middle of "Guo Shoun".

In the past 30 years, the strength of "Guo Shoun" has actually "diminished" a lot.

But this ghost girl in red will only become more powerful.

Gu Yundeng said: "This ghost girl in red is just like Guo Tuan. She is also an evil sorcerer who practices trickery."

Lu Qian asked: "What trick is she practicing?"

Mi Guanghao said: "What she practiced must be a very rare trick. So far, there has been no one who has practiced the same trick as her.

Judging from various rumors, she has at least three major abilities.

First, nonsense.She can tell lies. "

Lu Qian's eyes suddenly widened.

The "ghost words" spoken by Mi Guanghao are naturally not the words spoken by ghosts who have become spiritually enlightened.

In fact, after being enlightened, the ghosts speak human language.

Like Zuo Qiuling and others, they would not talk to unenlightened ghosts.

This "ghost girl in red" looks like she really has something.

Mi Guanghao continued: "Second, the soul-stealing technique.

She can directly pull out people's souls, at least for people below the fifth level of cultivation, there will be no problem.As for those with fifth-grade cultivation and above, there seems to be no case. "

Ok?
This is somewhat similar to his "Fish in the Sky", which also forcibly extracts souls from living people.

Lu Qian asked: "Are there any restrictions on her soul-stealing technique, or how to use it?"

Mi Guanghao looked at Lu Qian, then shook his head with difficulty and said, "No. At least within her visual range, she can forcefully extract the opponent's soul with just a wave of her hand."

Gu Yundeng added: "If there are any restrictions, there may only be one, that is, her eyes must see you before she can use the soul-stealing technique on you. But...she can have night vision."

Hearing this, Lu Qian's originally calm expression changed instantly.

Suddenly it became extremely ugly.

He took a deep breath and said, "That is to say..."

Gu Yundeng nodded and said: "In other words, the dark night will not affect her ability to perform the 'Soul Seizing Technique'. As long as it is within her visual range, there is no way to avoid it."

Lu Qian said: "In other words, she can kill anyone with a fifth-grade cultivation level or below in one move."

Mi Guanghao said: "That's right. She was famous all over the world for this trick back then. Her 'soul-stealing technique' was frightening to people."

Wouldn't you be frightened by the news?

It can be said that people with cultivation levels below the fifth level have no power to fight back in front of her.

As long as you are caught by her eyes, you are dead.

Even if it were Lu Qian, having so many paper spirits would be useless.

The other party waved his hand and directly took away his soul, so no matter what methods he had, he couldn't use it.

At this moment, Lu Qian felt cold sweat break out on his forehead.

Scared after a while.

Fortunately, he asked one more question.

Fortunately, he saved Mi Guanghao.

Otherwise, he would just rush to Sickle Valley and face the ghost girl in red...

Can't imagine what the consequences will be.

What trick was she practicing to be so evil?
but……

Lu Qian thought about it and felt something was wrong.

He looked at Mi Guanghao and asked hesitantly: "Are these all rumors you said, or..."

Mi Guanghao said: "I understand what you mean. The ghost girl in red has been famous for more than 30 years. During these 30 years, countless people have tried it with their lives. The ghost girl in red's 'soul-stealing technique' is indeed so domineering. "

Mi Guanghao’s sentence contains two meanings:
Although he has never seen the ghost girl in red perform the soul-stealing technique with his own eyes, this is basically a definite fact.

Second. In the past 30 years, countless people must have tried various methods of evasion, but none of them worked.

Lu Qian took a deep breath and nodded.

Then asked: "What about the third one?"
