Stunning at Every Step: Sheng Chong Ghost Princess

Chapter 176
"Dare you go?"

"My lord is here, do I have a choice?"

Before he finished speaking, he felt his belt tighten, and his whole body was pulled up by the ghost face.

The body fell suddenly, and the exclamation that opened her mouth was forced to shut up to hold back.

This bastard directly lifted her off the high cliff without warning, yes, it was Ti, he grabbed her belt and flew down... Did he think he was a bungee rope!
It was too dark, and I didn't know how high the cliff was. I just felt the wind whistling past my ears. A few seconds later, he was already standing on the flat ground, and he let go of her belt. Zhao Mingyue looked like a frog. lying on the ground.

Getting up angrily, he stared at him daringly.

The eyes behind the mask glanced coldly, and walked forward with a mocking sound.

Mingyue adjusted her belt angrily and followed, sooner or later, ghost face, don't fall into my hands!

The sound of several carriage wheels attracted Mingyue's attention.

The other side of the river was extremely lively, and several carriages drove towards the brightly lit city without any haste. Red lanterns were hung in front of the carriages, and they swayed forward.

Not only carriages, but also sedan chairs, people on horseback or pedestrians, it seems that they are going to go to the market in that city, and there is an endless stream of people.

When Mingyue and Guimian walked across the arch bridge over the river, they looked down and saw water lanterns floating down from the river.

This small town is similar to other bustling capitals. The streets are decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, high-rise buildings are hung with red lights, and auspicious words for the new year are written on strings of lanterns.There are many paper lanterns hanging on the trees on the side of the road, and there are also lanterns hanging in the middle of the street.

The atmosphere of welcoming the spring here is not weaker than Jinling, the prosperous imperial capital.

Vendors on the street sell all kinds of goods, including jewelry and rouge that ladies like, folding fans and jade wares that young men like, in short, everything that one expects to find.

Look at the pairs of red embroidered shoes, colorful silk and satin, there are a variety of products, and these seem to be free of money. Many young men and ladies gather around to buy them, which is very lively.

Mingyue was wrong just now, the shopping atmosphere is incomparable to the people in Jinling City.

People in Jinling City regard themselves as people from the imperial capital, and they live a more refined and tasteful life than people in other places, and they look extravagant when they go out to buy things, unlike the people here who are simply women.

The nature of this place is completely different from that of Ah Bidao, what did Ghost Face bring her here?
"My lord brought me here...for what?"

The ghost face tilted its head and looked at her: "What do you think is different about this place?"

Asked by him, Mingyue looked around again.

Two women in red clothes walked to a stall selling paintings, picked out the hanging paintings, gave silver to take away the paintings, walked to the river and put the paintings aside, the two looked at each other and smiled, Then help each other to peel off the skin on their faces...

Fuck me, Painted Skin Ghost!

Zhao Mingyue was about to make a move to restrain the monster.

Ghost Mian pushed her face with one hand, and continued to sarcastically: "Onmyoji who can't even see ghosts, can you take all the monsters here?"

Knowing she couldn't, what did he bring her here for?
"Didn't you want to be the demon king? I'll bring you here to experience the habits of demons, and take a good look at your so-called painted skin ghost."

After watching those two by the river peel off their skin, Mingyue knew that she was wrong.

That's not a painted skin ghost, it's just an ordinary rabbit spirit.

These rabbit spirits have not yet fully transformed into human form. After withdrawing their original skins, the two rabbit ears could not be retracted, and the rabbit teeth still remained. The round tail is still cute behind the buttocks.

To put it simply, they are rabbit spirits who have not been able to cultivate a normal human body.

When they wear the painting on their bodies, they will become like the people in the painting.

Mingyue was a little shocked, and walked to the booth selling paintings.

The painting seller was a young man who looked to be in his twenties, dressed like an ordinary white-faced scholar, and looked refined.Seeing Mingyue coming, he looked up and down:
"Sir, do you want to buy paintings?"

"En." Mingyue responded and walked to the hanging paintings, looked up at the very vivid paintings, sniffed them with her nose, there was a scent of flowers on them, but she was sure it was not human skin.

Mingyue turned around and asked the scholar selling paintings: "This painting..."

"Young master..." The scholar looked at Mingyue for a long time, not sure, and asked, "Is it a human or a demon?"

"What did you say?"

The scholar thought that his words made her unhappy, so he explained: "Young master, don't mind, I can't see any evil spirit from you, and you have already cultivated to perfection, I'm afraid I'm too young to draw you. A usable painted skin."

"Usable painted skin?" Mingyue couldn't understand at all.

The scholar looked at Mingyue again, and still asked kindly: "Does the young master have an invitation card?" As he said that, there was a trace of precaution and vigilance in his eyes.

Where did she get the invitation from when she was arrested?Moreover, Ghost Mian took her into the room completely, and no one wanted to check them. Zhao Mingyue turned to look at Ghost Mian,

The scholar also looked over, and when he saw the ghost's face, he was shocked and hurriedly saluted respectfully, his body bent at [-] degrees: "Little Yao Shaoyao pays respects to Lord Qing, best wishes to Lord Qing!"

Lord Qing?

Is Qing your first or last name?

So he is not my lord, not Ghost Face, nor Hou Xi Zhou?

The first truthful information I knew about him was that... there was a character Qing in his name.

Mingyue squinted at Ghost Mian, he just stood with his hands behind his back and looked at Shaoyao with cold eyes.

Shaoyao was panicked and frightened, she immediately cupped her hands to Mingyue: "Just now Shaoyao couldn't see the evil spirit in the little master, and thought the little master was an onmyoji, so she was on guard."

She really is an onmyoji.

But it can be seen that Master Qing has a high status in Shao Yao's eyes.

"It's okay, I just don't know this painting is..."

"Young Master, this is the first time you have come to Jiuqu City for the Spring Festival, right?"

Jiuqu City?
Mingyue looked puzzled.Shao Yao glanced at the ghost face, saw that he had no objection, so she continued to explain patiently with peace of mind:

"Our city lord likes human culture very much, so we built this Jiuqu City. This city supplies all human items to the monster race. It is open to the public every year and festival, but you need a Jiuqu ultimatum to enter the city, so Shaoyao Ask the young master if he has any invitations."

Since this city sells items from the Human World, there must also be contacts between the Human World and the people of this city.Human beings hide many people doing Yin market business, and some onmyojis are also doing it.

For example, the paper money in the ghost world must be made by someone in the human world, right?There are also some Fu Lu Shou items of the dead.These are just one category.People in the underworld, including demons, demons, ghosts and other clansmen, have many things that they like human beings. Among these people, especially the demon clan has the greatest demand for this.

Because the biggest purpose of demons is to transform into a human body, and the human body is the most supreme cultivation for them, so they must be very yearning for the related accessories of the human body.

This Jiuqu City is probably equivalent to a relatively unified and large-scale trade hub city between the two worlds.

In addition, Shaoyao said that the owner likes human culture, so Jiuqu City has a stronger humanistic color than some capitals in the human world.

This is not difficult for Mingyue to understand.

"What are your paintings for?"

"I'm Shaoyao, a thousand-year-old flower demon. I like to study painting on weekdays, so I practiced skin painting. That is, I inject my demon power into the painting, and help those clansmen who haven't fully demonized to maintain their human appearance."

This is different from Painted Skins.

Painted skin ghost is one of the ghost species. Because the ghost body is rotten and incomplete, it removes the covering of the living person's skin and maintains its decayed or aging skin. It is one of the ghost species that has caused serious harm to human beings.

The art of Shaoyao is not actually a painted skin, it can only be called a simulacra, a kind of black art.

Injecting his demonic power into the process of painting, together with the demonic power of the demons wearing the portraits, transforms into a portrait. After the demonic power on the painting disappears, this appearance is useless.

Therefore, the prices of Shaoyao's paintings vary, the more expensive the painting is, the more magic power is injected into it, the longer it can last, and vice versa, the shorter it can last.

This can be regarded as one of the professions in the demon world, so Shao Yao really relies on skills to make ends meet.

Onmyoji is a profession of killing demons and demons, but according to common sense, most onmyojis will not hunt and kill monsters that abide by the law and operate normally in the demon world and do not harm humans.However, onmyoji hunting monsters can improve one's own cultivation, so there are also onmyojis who specialize in improving themselves.

The same is true for ghosts and demons.

That's why there is a situation where Onmyoji and them are incompatible.

It's just that what Mingyue doesn't understand is that there are tens of thousands of monsters in such a big city, but she can't sense the monster energy immediately.

It's true that she is a rookie in front of the ghost face, but she can also be regarded as a true onmyoji, but why has she become so dull in this Jiuqu City?
"Finally know how bad I am?"

She was upset when he said that, but she had to admit it.

"How do you onmyoji judge whether the other party is a demon or not?"

He pointed out her shortcomings with one word, and Mingyue was speechless again.

Usually, to see if a person is eroded by evil qi and yin qi, to see if the Yintang is dirty.

To search for evil spirits or evil spirits, those with heavy yin energy, the onmyoji can see through the eyes or after opening the eyes with auxiliary objects or spells.

To deal with demons with high morals or good at concealment, onmyojis need to use magic tools to judge, such as yin-yang compass, demon mirror, demon-sensing bell, etc.

When there is no magic weapon on the body, or those ghosts and evil spirits have been able to avoid the tracking of those magic weapons, a high-level onmyoji can judge by cutting the pulse.People who are leaned over by ghosts usually have two veins, one is a normal human vein and the other is a ghost vein.

If there is no magic weapon, you can't cut the pulse, and the opponent's way can be hidden in the crowd, sometimes you can only judge by experience.

The ghost face sarcastically said: "After thinking so much, do you feel that Onmyoji's ability is very limited?"

There are indeed some limitations. After all, people's abilities are limited, but monsters may not be unlimited, right?Mingyue was not convinced.

"No matter how limited it is, those evil spirits who are doing evil will definitely not be able to escape."

"Oh?" Ghost Face asked coldly, "Are you sure?"
