My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 794: Knife Ghost
Seeing this strange phenomenon in front of him, Jiang Xinghuo's pupils suddenly shrank and he uttered an elegant and harmonious greeting.

"grass!"

Jiang Xinghuo did not dare to be careless at all. He flashed and turned into a stream of light and flew out of the temple. At the same time, the stone statues of Arhats on both sides of the temple also chased after him.

The Buddhist Arhat, who was originally compassionate to the world, had now turned into a man-eating evil ghost. He rushed out of the ruined temple, roaring, and surrounded Jiang Xinghuo in the middle of the encirclement.

Swish!
A black rope that was as winding as a python suddenly broke through the air and came out with a force like wind and thunder, a strength like thunderbolt, and a momentum like an iron chain across a river. Before Jiang Xinghuo could react, the black rope was already within reach, only three or four inches away from his head.

At such a close distance, it was too late to attack or defend. Jiang Xinghuo could only use the Nine Deaths Cicada to make his body invisible and narrowly avoid the attack.

The black rope suddenly fell to the ground, creating a deep hole in the ground. The force contained in the hole was so powerful that it made people feel palpitating.

Jiang Xinghuo was also frightened. Only then did he realize that the black rope was actually the eyebrows of a stone gargoyle. The hideous-looking gargoyle had a weird smile on its face, and its eyebrows were flying around like strange snakes.

"Long-browed Arhat?"

Jiang Xinghuo raised his eyebrows and thought of one of the Eighteen Arhats. In Buddhist allusions, this Arhat had the ability to see through the universe. His two eyebrows were his magic weapon and a means to subdue demons.

But at this moment, these two long eyebrows became deadly weapons. Having avoided the attack of the long-browed Arhat ghost, Jiang Xinghuo naturally would not sit and wait for death. With a wave of his right hand, the Yuan magnetic flying sword flew out from the bottom of his sleeve, crisscrossing in the air to form a Big Dipper sword diagram, attacking the long-browed Arhat.

Afterwards, he activated the Five Thunders Technique, evolving five ferocious thunder dragons, which pounced and bit the other Arhat gargoyles around them.

But Jiang Xinghuo found that he had still underestimated these ghost things. Facing the Five Thunder Method that was invincible against evil spirits, it turned out to be so fragile in front of these ghost things that it could not harm them at all. Even if their bodies were torn into pieces by the lightning, they would soon recover in the end.

Roar!
A gargoyle roared, and the oil paint on its body began to wriggle rapidly, eventually transforming into a gorgeous tiger, its eyes flashing with emerald green fire, and it suddenly bit towards Jiang Xinghuo.

Eighteen Arhats——Subduing Tiger Arhat!
When Jiang Xinghuo was about to fight back, he heard a ghostly laugh from the underworld again, which made him feel dazed. When he came to his senses, the tiger had already pounced on him and chewed his head into pieces with its bloody mouth. Only a headless corpse was left lying on the ground, but there was no blood on the corpse on the ground, and the tiger also spat out the head it was chewing in its mouth.

Take a closer look.

It turned out to be a pile of wood chips.

At the same time, a gargoyle suddenly let out a sharp howl. Its chest had been pierced by a giant bronze sword. The magnetic flying swords once again intertwined into a formation and crushed the gargoyle's head.

Jiang Xinghuo then emerged from nothingness, waved his hand to completely smash the Arhat ghost's body into pieces, and finally burned it to ashes with the Kitchen God's fire.

The Arhat ghost that died at the hands of Jiang Xinghuo was the monster evolved from the stone statue of the Long-browed Arhat.

Jiang Xinghuo knew very well that this dilapidated temple must be full of dangers, so he left a backup plan before entering the temple and placed a substitute puppet outside.

After the eighteen Arhat ghosts were resurrected, Jiang Xinghuo immediately left the narrow area of ​​the temple, then used dimensional magic to hide himself and used a substitute puppet to face the attack of the eighteen Arhat ghosts.

Jiang Xinghuo knew that if he confronted them head-on, he would be the one who would suffer in the end. It would be difficult for him to deal with the attacks of eighteen ghosts at the same time, so he thought of using this method. As long as he could kill one Arhat ghost, his pressure would be reduced by one point.

as predicted.

Jiang Xinghuo used a substitute puppet to conceal his identity and hid the perception of these Arhat ghosts. He took the opportunity to kill the long-browed Arhat ghost and burned it to ashes with the Kitchen God's fire. In this way, his pressure could be reduced a little. Even if the Arhat ghost could be resurrected in the end, it would take a lot of time.

After killing the long-browed Arhat ghost, Jiang Xinghuo did not stop and displayed his sword skills, killing the fat Arhat ghost beside him. The Arhat ghost who had just made a ghostly laugh was this fat monk.

Happy Arhat ghost!
Jiang Xinghuo's figure flashed, and the man and the sword almost merged into one. In an instant, he arrived in front of the Happy Arhat ghost. The sword light swept across the waist, from bottom to top, cutting the Happy Arhat's body into two parts. At the same time, a silver-white electric arc suddenly burst out from under the sword blade, turning the Happy Arhat's body into dust like a rotten wood.

Jiang Xinghuo's methods were swift and decisive, without any delay, and he killed the two Arhat ghosts directly.

But when he wanted to repeat the same trick and continue to attack other Arhat ghosts, this tactic no longer worked.

The roars of dragons and tigers could be heard together.

The Dragon-Subduing Arhat and the Tiger-Subduing Arhat suddenly became more than ten meters tall. They waved their huge palms and smashed towards Jiang Xinghuo.

"Oh, you're the only one who can grow bigger?"

Jiang Xinghuo put away the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand, shook his shoulders, and displayed his magical power of size Ruyi. His body swelled up in the wind and instantly became as big as the two gargoyles.

Jiang Xinghuo sensed the speed at which his mana was being lost. The power consumed by this size was still within his tolerance, so he no longer had any concerns.

boom!
Four hands collide!

Jiang Xinghuo fought one against two gargoyles, resisting the attacks of the two gargoyles and activating the Power Totem on his body. His strength increased several times. He raised his hands and swung the two stone statues into the air, then smashed them hard to the ground. Immediately, his two fists flashed with brilliant lightning and hit the two gargoyle heads on the ground.

There was a loud noise like tearing cloth.

The heads of the two Arhat ghosts, Jiang Long and Fu Hu, were blown to pieces again. Like the two Arhat ghosts, Chang Mei and Huan Xi, they were mercilessly killed here by Jiang Xinghuo.

After killing the two Arhat ghosts, Jiang Xinghuo still did not stop. With the blessing of the big and small Ruyi and the Lishen totem, he hunted the Arhat ghosts like a tiger among a flock of sheep.

Those seemingly vicious Arhat ghosts were no better than ordinary clay statues under Jiang Xinghuo's bloody hunting. In a short while, they were completely killed by Jiang Xinghuo, leaving only mud bricks and tiles and melted pigments and oil paints on the ground.

After dealing with the ghosts transformed from the eighteen Arhat statues, Jiang Xinghuo also removed the magical powers of Ruyi and the totem of the power god. He suddenly felt a wave of powerlessness and numbness surge up his body, as if he couldn't muster any strength. Jiang Xinghuo was afraid of other accidents, so he immediately took out the medicine fairy gourd that he had prepared long ago and took a big gulp of it, fearing that other dangers and accidents would occur when his magic power was on the verge of exhaustion.

He always kept in mind the warning given by the deceased member of the Poll Bureau before his death.

"Be careful... temple... stone statue... knife... ghost..."

"Now the temple and the stone statues have come out, but it seems that no knife was used..."

Jiang Xinghuo also paid special attention to this matter. There was no statue of a god using a knife among those Arhat ghosts, so there were only two possibilities.

Either the ghost and the knife that the other party mentioned are not here, or these two things are still kept in the dark.

But no matter what the reason is, you can't be too careless, otherwise if an accident happens, you will be the one who suffers in the end.

Although the injury to this cicada shell clone would not pose a fatal danger to himself, if it were lost here, it would take a lot of time to re-condense.

So you must be careful.

Just when Jiang Xinghuo was using the Medicine Fairy Gourd to recover his blood, a jade rabbit light suddenly flashed on his hand, and the door god barrier opened automatically, and the semicircular dome shield protected him firmly.

boom!
Immediately afterwards, a black light flashed by like wind and thunder and hit the door god barrier firmly.

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the dome barrier in front of him with lingering fear. If the barrier had not been triggered automatically, he would have been shattered by the black light.

But when he saw the true appearance of the black light, his pupils suddenly shrank.

Knife!

A big knife that is completely black but has a faint green glow!

Jiang Xinghuo immediately turned over and sat up from the ground, took out the Dragon King's Taoist weapon and chopped the sword away.

Is this the knife?
While Jiang Xinghuo was thinking about it, he heard a heavy sound of footsteps coming from the temple. He subconsciously turned his head and looked back, only to see a tall figure in helmet and armor walking out of the ruined temple. There were a lot of broken weapons and swords on his body. He looked like a general who had experienced hundreds of battles but died tragically on the battlefield. The big knife that attacked him fell from the general's body.

But the most attractive thing is not the appearance of this general, but the strong aura emanating from him.

It seemed to be an extremely powerful poison. Jiang Xinghuo, relying on the immunity to all poisons of the Five Grains Reincarnation Body, also felt a strong sense of threat. If he was infected by the poisonous gas from the other party, then even if he had the Five Grains Reincarnation Body to protect him, it would be difficult for him to withstand it. Even if he could save his life, he would lose all ability to resist.

Jiang Xinghuo subconsciously opened the Sky-Peeking Eye, wanting to use its ability to see through the general's information.

The silver-white virtual panel flashed continuously, and lines of information appeared in front of the eyes, revealing the identity of the corpse in front of them.

"Daolaogui, a monster with a deadly poison in its body. It was a general who died on the battlefield. After his death, his body was buried in a very dark place and was polluted by the miasma in the mountains. As a result, it evolved into a very special monster. It has a deadly poison in its body. Ordinary people will die if they touch it. The broken weapons on its body can also attack people, and can be used as the key hub of the barrier formation to block or imprison the target."

Looking at the information obtained by the Sky-Peeking Eye, Jiang Xinghuo finally knew the identity of this ghost. He also understood what the member of the Public Opinion Survey Bureau said before he died.

The "knife" and "ghost" he mentioned were not two independent things, but he wanted to tell myself to be careful of the Dao Lao ghost. However, due to his serious injuries, he could not say all these words. Perhaps I did not listen carefully, but I can be sure that he was talking about the Dao Lao ghost.

At this time, the Dao Lao ghost also attacked Jiang Xinghuo. The wounds on his body oozed green liquid, which quickly spread around like a pond. Although the breath emitted had not yet touched Jiang Xinghuo, he still felt a little dizzy.

Jiang Xinghuo didn't know whether the Five Grains Reincarnation Body could resist the poison of Dao Lao Gui, so he immediately communicated with the door god in his palm, asking whether the other party could resist the invasion of the venom.

The auspicious door god did not directly answer Jiang Xinghuo's question, but instead mobilized his own original power to spread the door god barrier to two meters away, just enough to isolate the spreading venom.

But Dao Laogui's poison is only one of its means of attack. The broken weapons on its body can also be used for attack. It can be seen controlling the broken swords and guns on its body through the air, continuously attacking the door god barrier.

Although he could not break through the defense of the gate god barrier in a short period of time, Jiang Xinghuo was trapped by Dao Lao Gui's poison and weapons attacks. He could only passively hide and defend and take the beatings. He was unable to make an effective counterattack. Occasionally, he shot out a few palm thunders, but they could not hurt Dao Lao Gui. They were either easily avoided by Dao Lao Gui or blocked by him.

Jiang Xinghuo frowned. Not to mention that the more attacks the barrier received, the greater the pressure the gate god would be under. It was not his character to just passively take the beating. He had to find a way to solve the problem of venom.

Jiang Xinghuo tentatively stretched out his hand from the barrier, flicked away a broken arrow, quickly dipped it in the venom, and then carefully observed his changes.

The poison had already invaded his body the moment it touched his skin, and flowed to the heart with the blood. When the poison completely entered the heart veins, that was the time for the clone to die.

However, the poison only reached the elbow, and before it could continue to spread upwards, the Five Grains Samsara Body took effect and began to produce antibodies against the Dao Lao ghost in the body.

However, the poison of Dao Lao Gui is too strong. Although the Five Grains Samsara Body has produced antibodies to the toxin, it cannot withstand soaking here like a bath. It seems that it still needs to rely on other props.

Jiang Xinghuo opened the void drawer, searched inside, and finally took out a small box. When he opened it, he found a crystal clear inner elixir inside.

"Ape God Pill (special material), the product condensed by the old ape in the mountains who inhaled the essence of the sun and moon, and devoured hundreds of herbs and spiritual objects in the mountains after decades of mana tempering. It has the special effect of removing all kinds of poisons and curing diseases and injuries."

Jiang Xinghuo took out the Monkey God Pill, which was a treasure he found in the City of Origin. He never had the chance to use it. Today, when he was surrounded by Dao Lao Gui's venom, he remembered this thing.

Perhaps, this Monkey God Pill is the natural nemesis of Dao Lao Gui.
