Day and night tour

Chapter 187: Top-notch assistance?

"Are you a coroner? Then you should chop it carefully."

Zhou Xuan stopped, took out two pieces of human skin, and quickly used bone teeth to carve out two pairs of "Nuo God's Hands".

Zhou Xuan had tattooed the hand of Nuo God before, so he was quite skilled in it. The pattern itself was not complicated, so he tattooed very quickly while fully exerting his perception.

For both tattoos, Zhou Xuan deliberately left the last stroke unfinished so that he could complete it when needed.

The usage time of a pair of "Nuo God's Hands" is only ten minutes.

Two sets took twenty minutes, and Zhou Xuan did not do the third set because he did not have enough energy.

"After two consecutive possessions, my energy limit has been reached."

Like the advent of the spirit world, the consumption of energy is enormous.

After finishing all this, Zhou Xuan said to Lu Mingkun: "Come on, Fifth Brother, I will help you fulfill your wish."

He stuffed the tattoo of "Hand of Nuo God" into his pocket, crushed Li Chengfeng's dominoes, and walked into the night with Lu Mingkun.

After Xiao Fuzi watched Zhou Xuan, Lu Mingkun and Yun Ziliang leave, he closed the shop door. Just as he was about to bolt it, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?" Xiao Fuzi asked alertly.

"I!"

Xiao Fuzi recognized it as Yun Ziliang's voice and quickly opened the door.

Yun Ziliang ran into the house and pulled out the top drawer of the chest of drawers.

"Grandpa Yun, why are you back?"

Xiao Fuzi asked.

"I forgot one thing."

Yun Ziliang reached into the drawer and grabbed two handfuls of melon seeds, put them in his pocket, then picked up the teapot with hot water and strode out of the store.

For Yun Ziliang, watching the fun without bringing snacks is like shopping on a rainy night without an umbrella.

……

Dongshi Street is a funeral street. It usually has a heavy deathly atmosphere, but it never smells bloody.

The streets tonight are filled with the smell of blood.

There were many fang ghosts coming, but they did not fight randomly.

The three incense sticks disciples in the hall were relatively weak, so they were arranged to ambush at the east street entrance, using paper men to reduce the number of coroners to the greatest extent.

The coroner's greatest weapons are two sharp bamboo-leaf knives.

As for Liaogui, he relied on remotely controlling two paper figures to fight his enemies, one black and one white.

The white paper man held a pair of scissors in both hands, while the black paper man held a curved hook.

In the dark, it is actually beneficial to the Liaogui.

The black paper man was hidden in the shadows of the houses and locust trees and was almost invisible.

As soon as the coroner's disciple passed by, the black paper man would emerge from the darkness and pierce the coroner's chest with its curved hook.

But there is a gap in the incense offerings of both sides.

The apprentice coroners who came were all more than four incense sticks long, and the Fang ghosts that blocked the road were almost all three incense sticks long.

If there is a lack of one stick of incense, the advantage of the hall's means will be gone.

The coroner disciples were not afraid of the black paper men of the Liao ghost at all. They had stronger perception and could always sense in advance when the black paper men would break the invisibility and attack, and then dodge as if they had predicted it.

At the same time, because there is a sensory connection between the black paper man and the fang ghost, once the paper man moves, the connection will be exposed.

The coroner's apprentice has a higher level of incense and a more sensitive perception. Following the link, he can quickly find the fang ghost lurking in the dark, raise his right arm, and then the human skin on his arm emerges.

A palm-sized piece of human skin flew to the location where the fang ghost was, and the coroner and the human skin became one.

When the human skin arrives, the person arrives.

The coroner was able to get close to the Liaogui disciple.

The 獠鬼 who controls paper figures remotely will be dead once someone gets close to him.

But it just so happened that "being approached by the coroner" was the strategy decided in advance by the Liaogui Hall.

The biggest trap they set was not the black paper men and white paper men hiding on the roadside, but themselves.

As soon as the coroner got close, he swung his sword with both hands as fast as flying. In an instant, he slashed many times and killed the fang ghost in front of him.

But the place where the Liaogui disciples were ambushing was not one person, but three to four.

While the coroner was killing one of them, the person being killed, with his flesh and blood, hugged the coroner around the waist with both hands and refused to let go even though the coroner's sharp knife was cutting him.

Although it only took a few moments for his hand to be cut off by the sharp knife, the moment the coroner's body paused, two or three nearby 獠鬼 disciples would come out from their hiding places, each with six bone spurs appearing on their faces, shooting towards the coroner.

The person who is killed will also develop bone spurs.

A dozen or twenty bone spurs shot out crosswise, turning the stagnant coroner disciple into a hedgehog.

Your incense is higher than mine,

Then I will use my life to fill this hole.

The disciples of Liaogui Hall, knowing full well the disparity in popularity, used human life as a trap and beat the coroner on the main road at the intersection of East Street.

Being united and brave and fearless of death has always been the way for the small gang in Pingshui Prefecture to survive.

"Hee hee hee!"

"Hahaha!"

The howling of the black and white paper men echoed throughout East Street Crossing. People kept dying, but the momentum of the fang ghost did not weaken in the slightest. The flat East Street Crossing road was made to look like the underworld.

……

The coroners used to be bandits, and their strategies are different from those of the Liao ghosts.

The disciples of Liaogui Hall volunteered to use their insignificant offerings to try to reduce the combat effectiveness of the invaders.

They had long been aware of their mortality.

But the coroner only wanted to nail Lao He to death. The disciples who were chosen to launch the attack from the east street entrance were just feints in order to tie up most of the Liaogui's troops.

The six coroners who flew out from the Zhou family's Jingyi shop were the most popular people in the temple selected by Luo Yunzhou.

Their goal was only one: to quickly kill Lao He.

But those guarding the door of Lao He's house are also the most elite disciples of Liaogui.

"Shock the house. Let the rest of the people fight the fang ghost outside. The two of us will go into the house and kill Lao He."

Luo Yunzhou and Luo Jingtang, the brothers, beat Lao He's roof and skinned him.

Two figures appeared on the roof, stomped their feet, made a big hole in the green tiles, and jumped into the house.

……

When Zhou Xuan and Lu Kunming arrived at Lao He's house,

The coroner's four disciples had already killed 50% of the monsters at the He family's door.

The remaining seven fang ghosts also found it difficult to hold on.

"Fifth Senior Brother, in front of the He family, under the locust tree."

When Zhou Xuan was still ten meters away from the He family, he reported the coordinates to Lu Mingkun, then took out the "Bifang" mask from his waist, put it on his face, and struck the wake-up stick.

Han Sitang, the disciple who was the coroner in front of the He family's door, suddenly froze.

Lu Mingkun jumped up and swung his bamboo leaf knife, hitting Han Sitang's neck.

"puff!"

Han Sitang was filled with murderous intent and was about to stab the knife in his hand into the chest of the Liaogui disciple lying on the ground, but suddenly he discovered that the Liaogui disciple on the ground was gone.

The next moment, he felt his neck go numb. He lowered his head to look, but could see nothing. He reached out to touch his neck and found an inch-long tip of a knife sticking out.

"Oh!"

His body fell to the ground with a thud.

"Back!"

Lu Mingkun attacked Han Sitang's body, and the magic weapon returned, and the bamboo leaf knife flew back into his hand.

"Under Lao He's sign."

Zhou Xuan reported the coordinates again and struck the wake-up stick again.

Dreams come from plain land,

The coroner Liu Luoyu, who was standing under the sign, heard a wooden sound and froze in his tracks. Then, like Han Sitang, his neck was pierced and he fell to the ground, becoming a cold corpse.

"The fang ghost came to help?"

"Are we here to help?"

Not only the coroner was confused, but even the Liaogui's disciples were confused.

The remaining two disciples who were coroners were Liu Gui who burned five incense sticks, and Wan Changbo who sat four and looked five.

“He’s a storyteller!”

Liu Gui was the first to react.

Zhou Xuan didn't have time to waste talking to Liu Gui. He struck the wake-up stick and Liu Gui's body tilted, but his eyes looked clear.

"It's five sticks of incense."

Zhou Xuan knew that the dream did not cover Liu Gui, so he immediately took off the Bifang mask, took out the "Nuo Body Hand" tattoo, and added the final touch with bone teeth.

Suddenly,

There was a mad divinity in his eyes.

"clatter!"

Zhou Xuan put on the Bifang mask again and struck the wake-up stick again.
This time, Liu Gui fell asleep and his eyes were no longer clear.

"He can actually make me dream. This storyteller is quite good."

Liu Gui entered the dream, but he could still sense that he was dreaming, because he had a way to escape from the dream.

He chanted a spell, and purple corpse spots appeared on his body out of thin air. There were no pupils in his eyes, only whites, just like a dead person. "Xiao Zhou, he used the art of corpse transformation, which is the fifth level of the coroner's method. The person became a corpse, a dead object, which does not resonate with your perception. Your living dreams cannot control him."

Yun Ziliang, who was standing in the alley watching the excitement, reminded Zhou Xuan while leaning forward to watch.

When Liu Gui heard someone expose his methods, he looked in the direction of the voice and saw an old man holding a teapot.

"Kill this storyteller first, then I'll kill you."

Liu Gui set Zhou Xuan as the first target to kill.

He saw the key point of the situation: the two people who came to help Liao Gui were a coroner and a storyteller.

The coroner seems to be more popular, but the real difficult ones are the storytellers.

The storyteller's dream turned the coroner's disciples into dead targets, unable to move or resist. This allowed Lu Mingkun to harvest them unscrupulously. Within a few moments, he nailed Liu Luoyu and Han Sitang to death one after another.

As long as the storyteller is dealt with, the rest is nothing to worry about.

It just so happened that he had a way to deal with the storyteller.

The art of corpse transformation is to gather all of one's perception and seal it within one's own body so as not to resonate with the sound of the wood.

With this hand,
Liu Gui killed four storytellers.

The fifth one will be killed soon.

He was just making his wishful thinking when a powerful sense of perception surged into his body from nowhere.

The perception was like a tide and he couldn't even get it out of his body. He could only let it wreak havoc.

"Became a dead thing? Since you like to become a corpse so much, I will fulfill your wish and turn you into a corpse."

Zhou Xuan struck the wake-up stick again.

"clatter!"

The sound of the wake-up stick was infinitely magnified in Liu Gui's heart, and it was so loud that it was deafening.

"How is it possible? I have already used the corpse transformation technique, how can you still have a dream?"

"As long as you are still alive, I can find out your perception. With perception, I can dream."

This is the storyteller’s eighth method—entering dreams through dreams.

A method of dreaming that is completely different from “dreaming out of the blue”.

Zhou Xuan used his extremely powerful perception to force his way into Liu Gui's body, and used his perception to pollute his consciousness, thus completing the method of creating a dream.

Through spirit possession, he increased the incense burner to four sticks.

The storyteller of four incense sticks can just trap five incense sticks in his dream.

Accompanied by the sound of wood,

Liu Gui fell into a dream. He seemed to see countless Zhou Xuans standing in front of him. He instinctively took the bamboo leaf knife and slashed forward continuously.

From the perspective of others, he just kept cutting at the air like a frightened blind man.

Zhou Xuan, holding his long gown, walked towards Liu Gui very elegantly.

Wan Changbo kept shouting, "Brother Gui, Brother Gui, the storyteller is right behind you, right behind you."

His shouting had no effect, and he was also entangled by Lu Mingkun and the Liao Gui disciples at this time, so he had no hands to save Liu Gui. He could only watch Zhou Xuan stroll behind Liu Gui.

A bone tooth was held in Zhou Xuan's hand, and then slowly inserted into the back of Liu Gui's head.

tom!
Liu Gui lay on the ground, dead.

"clatter!"

Zhou Xuan hit the wake-up stick again, and Wan Changbo lost the ability to fight back in an instant, and his throat was chopped by Lu Mingkun's continuous quick knife attacks.

The situation was completely reversed with the joining of Zhou Xuan and Lu Mingkun.

"I will repay you for saving my life someday. May I ask your names, brothers?"

The Liaogui disciples gathered around.

"Stop talking nonsense. There's a fight going on in the room. Go and help. I'll be there soon."

Zhou Xuan waved his hand and drove everyone away.

After they disappeared, Zhou Xuan's blood well could no longer be restrained and began to devour the sacrifices madly.

Three sit, four look at five, and one burns five incense sticks.

Zhou Xuan felt the eyes in the blood well. They were eating the sacrifices with great relish. Their eyes were blinking wildly, and in a short time, they had eaten the four coroners until only their skeletons were left.

After finishing these things, Zhou Xuan walked towards Lao He's house.

……

The middle-aged man standing on the hill was very surprised looking at the fighting situation in Dongshi Street, especially the battle in front of Lao He's house.

When Zhou Xuan and Lu Mingkun showed up, he was somewhat worried.

I'm not worried about Lu Mingkun, but about Zhou Xuan.

Through his brown glasses, Zhou Xuan's level was clearly seen - two incense sticks.

The lowest level of incense in the whole street.

Even those fang ghosts who were willing to sacrifice their own lives for others had three incense sticks.

Aren't you just adding to the chaos by joining in?

But he only breathed a sigh of relief after Zhou Xuan cooperated with Lu Mingkun to successively kill Han Sitang and Liu Luoyu.

"Zhou Xuan's combat IQ is still good. He uses his storyteller's skills to cover for Lu Mingkun and make up for the difference in his incense."

When he thought Zhou Xuan would go all out to fight through the battle with the attitude of "top-notch assistance",
An amazing scene appeared.

Zhou Xuan's incense level suddenly skyrocketed - from two incense sticks to four incense sticks.

"How could he have four incense sticks?" The middle-aged man knew when Zhou Xuan had joined the temple.

"Even if I had four incense sticks, I couldn't defeat that coroner."

He didn't know Liu Gui's name, but he could tell through his glasses how much he worshipped Liu Gui.

Five incense sticks!
When worshipping gods in the underworld, the difference between one to four incense sticks is not too big.

But after four sticks, the gap will become bigger and bigger.

Five incense sticks can correspond to four or five four-stick incense sticks at the same time.

But he never expected that Zhou Xuan would be like an old man carrying a bird cage and walking around, staggering over to nail Liu Gui to death.

“Is it that easy?”

The middle-aged man even suspected that there was something wrong with the magic weapon. At this moment, he saw a bright red lantern hanging at the west end of Dongshi Street.

There is an eye on the lantern.

The night patrolling gods of Mingjiang Prefecture!

"Hey? Why are the people from Youshensi here?"

When the middle-aged man was surprised, he saw a man in black robe suddenly appear at the big iron gate at the entrance of East Street.

The black robe was attached to a hood, and the face of the man in the black robe was hidden in the shadow of the hood.

"Five sticks of incense and a layer of golden armor. The armored incense master of the City God."

Through the brown glasses, the fire on the black-robed man's chest was extremely fierce, and at the same time, his entire body was covered with a layer of light golden color.

The middle-aged man had not been in Mingjiang Prefecture for long, but he had heard that the City God's Zhijiaxiang was famous for crossing the border to kill people.

The City God of five incense sticks can kill a master of six incense sticks.

"Who is he here to help?"

……

Lu Yusheng, dressed in a black robe, walked to the iron gate.

On his chest hung a painting of "The Divine Horse and Armor".

The armor horse is only the size of a cigarette box, with "Taoist Divine Travel Talisman" written on it - inviting the divine traveler to chase the armor horse, and move forward without hindrance, even across mountains and rivers.

This is the City God’s magical tool for traveling.

When he reached the gate, his armored horse flashed with golden light.

Lu Yusheng's body seemed to have lost its form, like a ball of mist, and passed straight through the iron gate.

With the armored horse on, Lu Yusheng walked very fast. His steps seemed neither hurried nor slow, but each step could take him more than ten meters.

"Hee hee hee!"

"Hahaha!"

The fang ghosts blocking the entrance to East Street lost half of their own men, but also killed all the coroners who came in.

Now, this half of the fang ghosts have begun to attack Lu Yusheng.

Lu Yusheng ignored them and walked straight towards Lao He's house.

A small kite led the way in front, and the lanterns of the Parade of Gods were also conveyed to Lu Yusheng through the kite.

"Two tough guys are here. Kill Liu Gui! He's not easy to deal with. Go and support him."

Because of the lantern's instructions, Lu Yusheng had no time to waste on the beasts blocking his way.

After a series of magical movements, Lu Yusheng had already arrived at Lao He's house, but he did not go directly into Lao He's house.

The City God takes it as his duty to "subdue ghosts and demons, eliminate evil and defend morality" and has always had a good reputation.
When working for notorious gangs like kidnappers and coroners, you have to be secretive.

He hid in the woods behind Lao He's house.

The place is hidden and not far from Lao He's house, which is very suitable for him to take action.

Lu Yusheng took out a human eye from the ink bag in his black robe.

He chanted a spell, and his eyes blinked rapidly, and the wall of Old He's house turned into a veil. After the veil rippled in circles, it disappeared without a trace.

Then, using the magic weapon "Eye of Insight", Lu Yusheng saw the scene in Lao He's room clearly.
