Chapter 38: See the Demon Again
Believing that Wu Changzhen could communicate with the dead souls, Liu Wu made a decision and told him everything that had happened.

The incident dates back to two and a half years ago, when a black-skinned foreign monk allowed the evil spirit to escape.

They had sparred with the black-skinned monk before. The black-skinned monk's muscles were as strong as iron, and he was invulnerable to swords and spears. He was extremely strong and could easily suppress the two men by fighting alone.

However, such a powerful black-skinned monk was easily killed by the monster in front of them.

Since then, the two brothers understood one thing: human power has its limits.

If you want to defeat monsters, you must become a being that transcends mortals.

Although the two brothers did not pick up a gargoyle mask, they did pick up a martial arts manual when they were hunting a tiger in the mountains more than a year ago.

The art of controlling ghosts.

This technique can sacrifice living people and turn them into ghosts for the practitioner to control.

The stronger the dead, the stronger the ghosts.

So the two of them attacked outsiders like Wu Chang, tied them up and took them to the Ghost Crying Forest, where they tortured them to learn about their cultivation methods.

If they could not tell the technique, or if the effect of their technique was not as good as the ghost-controlling technique, they would be brutally killed and buried under a tree in the forest.

Before burying the body, take a drop of the victim's heart blood and mix it into a magic weapon, which can then drive away the ghost transformed by the victim.

The magic weapon is a mask that is divided into two halves vertically like a Tai Chi. Liu Wei and Liu Wu each hold half.

As long as you wear the mask, you can freely enter and exit the Haunted Forest and command the ghosts in the forest.

"Where is the martial arts book you picked up?" Wu Chang asked.

Having already explained so much, this little bit doesn't matter, so Liu Wu answered honestly:
"My elder brother and I each have half of the book, and it's in my arms now."

Wu Chang took out half a book from Liu Wu's arms, and just took a glance at it, and then he showed the expression of the old man on the subway looking at his cell phone.

He pointed at the spells that looked like ghostly talismans all over the book and said in disbelief, "Can you understand this?"

He felt that his IQ was insulted. If there were a few more pictures above, he would have believed Liu Wu's two points.

Liu Wu said: "We couldn't understand it at first, but after we soaked the tiger's heart in wine, my brother and I were able to understand it."

My goodness, is Tiger’s Heart the Little Tigers’ decryption card?
Even if Liu Wu wanted to lie to him, he wouldn't make up such outrageous lies, so he just took it seriously for the time being.

But even so, there are still a few questions that cannot be explained.

He continued to ask: "Then why did you send your minions to attack Liu Ning?"

Liu Wu: "According to the book, only when the two halves of the mask are combined into one can it be considered a great skill. To fuse the two halves of the mask, a powerful main ghost who can carry a complete magic weapon is needed. Our initial target is the evil spirit in the village."

"Now is the time when the evil spirit is at its weakest. If we hold the New Year's Eve Festival in advance, we can take the opportunity to devour the evil spirit. If we delay for another month, the evil spirit will fully revive and it will be difficult for the ghosts to win."

"Uncle Shan has been trying to stop the New Year's Eve celebration from being held early. We must find a way to get him to give way."

Wu Chang asked curiously, "If we can get rid of the evil spirit once and for all, Liu Shan might not disagree. Have you ever thought about discussing it with him?"

Liu Wu shook his head. "The method is not passed on to the six ears. The mask made by the method only has two halves."

What a convincing reason.

Wu Chang looked Liu Wu up and down. "From your appearance, it seems that you are going out. What are you going to do?"

Liu Wu showed a bit of embarrassment on his face. "To master the great skill, you need a powerful master ghost. It can be an evil spirit or you."

"My eldest brother is soft-hearted and is concerned about the village. He wants to wait until after the New Year's Eve festival to take action. I am worried that there are too many variables, so I plan to do it secretly myself."

Wu Chang looked at the sky and saw that it was getting late, so he quickened his questioning.

"What on earth is evil?"

"I can't say for sure. Once you see the core of the New Year's Eve Festival with your own eyes, you will understand."

Liu Wu concealed nothing about his biggest secret, but when it came to evil spirits, his words were a little evasive.

"I have said everything I need to say. It's time for you to fulfill your promise."

Wu Chang took off Liu Wu's mask, patted Liu Wu on the shoulder, and whispered:

"I promised to let you go, and I will keep my promise. But how to convince them to let you go is up to you."

After saying that, he walked out of the forest holding the mask.

Without the protection of the mask, Liu Wu felt the temperature around him drop sharply. He thought of something and panicked instantly, shouting:
"Wait, you..."

Before he could finish his words, the tongue in his mouth suddenly exploded, and the words he was about to say turned into miserable whimpers.

The whole forest was filled with the sound of the wind, which was like crying and laughing, and was extremely creepy.

Half an hour later, the half mask in Wu Chang's hand moved slightly, and it showed its attribute panel as it became an ownerless object.

"Item name: Transformation - Human Face (Black)." "Item type: Instance item"

"Item level: D."

"Item Skill: Ghost Control."

"By sacrificing one's own vital energy and blood, one can control the demons refined within the mask."

"Item Description: Combined with the Demon-Human Face (White) to unlock item combination skills."

Transform into a monster?

Wu Chang looked at the name prefix of the mask and his expression gradually became strange.

He remembered the magic weapon in Chenjia Village that could turn people into fog monsters, also called the monster-transforming weapon.

The magic weapon that Liu Wei and Liu Wu have been using is the magic weapon that can transform into a monster, but when Liu Wu mentioned the ability of the magic weapon, he only knew that the two halves of the mask could be combined into one to fuse the magic weapon, allowing the user to gain the power of the magic weapon, but he didn't know that it would transform into a monster.

Is he intentionally concealing it, or is he really clueless?

Maybe Liu Wei will tell him the answer.

He put on the mask and found the light red bloodstains scattered in the forest, which turned into bloody ghosts.

The ghosts gathered around with eager faces, murmuring as if they had met for the first time:

"Help……"

"Free me..."

"Please help me..."

After discovering the true form of the collective of resentment, he this time saw their bloody last words clearly.

The content was the same as he guessed, which was the last roar of the blood-red meat ball.

【give me back! 】

They want to get back their stolen blood, get rid of their evil bodies, and regain their freedom.

He took off his mask and whispered, "Wait a minute, now is not the time."

At the moment he only has half of the mask, and the other half is still in Liu Wei's hands.

God knows whether throwing this half mask to the minions will free them halfway or cause them to lose control collectively.

What's more, keeping this half of the mask in hand will be of great use in the future.

He buried Liu Wu, who was physically mosaiced, in the Ghost Forest. After handling the crime scene and making sure that no traces were left, he returned to Chunlai Mountain.

The mountain keeper was sitting on a cushion, grinning foolishly at old man Chunhuai.

Seeing Wu Chang coming back, the mountain guard immediately stood up and took out half a roasted chicken wrapped in tree bark from under the altar.

Wu Chang touched the mountain guard's head and said, "I'll give it all to you."

"It's going to be a bit chaotic these two days, so hide yourself and don't go to the village again. If you get into trouble, have your friends come find me."

Seeing the mountain guard nodding as if he understood, he put down some food and turned to leave.

As the sun sets, the sky gradually darkens and torches and lanterns are lit in Huaigu Village.

Liu Shan called together several village officials and was about to discuss how to prepare for the New Year's Eve festival when he saw Liu Jinfu walking over quickly and said hurriedly:

"Uncle Shan, Hero Wu is back!"

Everyone present looked gloomy. An accident had indeed happened in Chenjia Village, and even with Wu Chang's ability, it was difficult to reach there.

Liu Shan asked first: "What's going on? Did Wu Da Xia encounter danger on the road? Don't rush to open the village gate. Be sure to look carefully to see if there is any monster chasing him."

Liu Jinfu shook his head, "No, Master Wu took the palace lantern back!"

"what?!"

Five minutes later, everyone followed Liu Jinfu to the watchtower at the entrance of the village.

Standing on a high place and looking into the distance, I saw a bright and brilliant red flame moving quickly in the dark mountain road.

Wherever the firelight reached, darkness and monsters all retreated, not daring to get any closer.

Everyone present cheered, their faces filled with excitement and excitement, as if the one who came to break through the darkness was really the star god from the sky.

Among the crowd, only Liu Wei had a gloomy expression and a forced smile.

Hero Wu came back so quickly that Brother Wu probably wouldn't have enough time to run into him.
