I Eat Monsters In the Town Monster

Chapter 38 Painted Skin Ghost's True Attempt

Sitting in front of the easel, the person who painted the human skin was blood red all over.

Because he didn't have human skin, his flesh and blood were exposed to the air, and he could even clearly see the beating of his blood vessels.

As for the facial features, there are only a few blood holes left.

Looking at the pen in his hand, it is also not simple.

The barrel of the pen looks like a human bone, but I don't know what material the brush hair is made of.

When this man was painting the skin, every time he drew a few strokes, he would turn his head to the sleeping maid and nanny next to him, open his mouth like a blood hole, and take a breath.

What he inhales is the yang energy and vitality of these people.

Every time a breath of yang and vitality is sucked in, a few more white hairs will appear on the maids and nurses, and the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes will also increase a little.

And after this person absorbed Yang Qi and vitality, he first let it pass through his body, and then opened his mouth, spit out his forked tongue like a snake, licked the pen tip, and continued to draw human skin.

Obviously, it is using human yang energy and vitality as ink.

Only in this way can one's skin be immortalized, and its dead and evil aura can be suppressed, so that no one else can see its flaws.

The paper figurines who went to the post station to attack and set fire to it before were placed on the desk beside them, looking like cute New Year picture dolls.

No matter who it is, it is difficult to link them with the ghosts who seduce people's lives.

Although Zhu Xiucai had already guessed that there was something wrong with Zhang Benwu, after seeing the strange scene of Huapi with his own eyes, he couldn't help but shudder.

Even Su Jianqing's face was serious.

She said in a very low voice: "It's a painted skin ghost! This kind of evil spirit likes to pick up the skins of the living to make clothes, and mixes in the crowd to steal the yang and vitality of the living. Those who have been sucked by it will be lighthearted." If you suffer from a serious illness, you will suffer from bad luck and even die!"

Zhu Xiucai was confused: "Why did the Painted Skin Ghost pretend to be Zhang Benwu? It can't be just to steal the yang energy and vitality of the servants of the Zhang family, right?"

Su Tingyu was eager to try: "Why do you think so much? Catch it and ask, don't you know everything? Taking off the painted skin is when the painted skin ghost is weakest. With the strength of the four of us, it is not difficult to capture it alive."

She couldn't wait to capture Painted Skinny back alive and conduct various experiments.

She hasn't tried Painted Skin Ghost yet.

Before Qin Shaoyou opened his mouth to stop him, Su Jianqing took the first step and said, "No way. The Painted Skin Ghost pretending to be Zhang Benwu definitely has a big plan, and it may be related to the follow-up actions of the Black Lotus Sect. Once we make a move, we will immediately kill him." To startle the snake and make the monsters of the Black Lotus Sect aware of it, it will ruin the business."

Su Tingyu felt a little regretful when the proposal was rejected, but he didn't insist.

Qin Shaoyou also thinks that he can't scare the snake, but if he doesn't do anything, he will be a little unwilling.

So he asked: "Two Daoist Sus, do you have any way to blackmail Painted Skin Ghost without letting it notice?"

Su Tingyu shook his head.

Her Taoism is all upright and upright, and there are no sinister tricks.

Su Jianqing has an idea: "I can put a curse on the human skin, activate it when needed, and temporarily seal the Painted Skin Ghost so that it cannot move, but I need someone to lure it away from the human skin."

"How long will it take to distract?" Zhu Xiucai asked.

"At least five breaths of time."

"Five breaths? I'll try."

Zhu Xiucai quietly climbed down the wall and disappeared into the darkness.

After a while, several barking dogs came from outside the big wall of the Zhang residence.

The Painted Skin Ghost in the study stood up abruptly after hearing these dog barks.

Because these barks are very similar to the barks of the dog bought by Qin Shaoyou.

Painted Skin Ghost was about to rush out of the study subconsciously, but soon realized that he hadn't worn human skin yet, so he held back.

After thinking about it, it walked to the closed door of the study and shouted outside: "Come here!"

The guardian guarding in the distance heard the voice, hurried over, and asked through the door: "What's your order, young master?"

"Go and see where the barking dog is coming from, and bring that dog to me."

Painted Skin Ghost's voice now has changed from when Qin Shaoyou and others saw it in the afternoon.

The hoarseness was obviously much less, and it was more like Zhang Benwu's voice.

Although the nursing home outside the door was surprised, they didn't dare to question, let alone refuse.

After leaving a few elites to continue looking outside the courtyard, the rest of the people all went out to look for the dog.

But Painted Skinny was still not satisfied.

It really wanted to find that dog and cook it for Zhang Shilang to show its filial piety.

So after giving orders to the guard outside the door, it turned back to the desk, picked up the New Year picture doll on the table with its skinless hands, and muttered something.

After a while, these naive, chubby and cute New Year picture dolls swayed and turned into pale and weird paper figurines, and slipped out through the gaps in the doors and windows.

At the same time, Zhu Xiucai, who is as nimble as a cat, has returned to the roof.

He couldn't wait to ask: "How is it, did you succeed under the curse?"

"Successful." Su Jianqing nodded.

During the short period of time when Painted Skin Ghost went to call the nursing home, Su Jianqing relied on her being a ghost cultivator with a spirit body, directly passed through the roof, flew to the human skin, and added a few strokes on it with magic power.

The few strokes she added formed a curse, but because it was colorless and traceless, Painted Skin Ghost couldn't detect it at all.

Qin Shaoyou was worried about another thing: "Monk Ma and the others are still outside. If you pretend to be a dog barking, you won't harm them, right?"

Zhu Xiucai said: "Don't worry, my lord, I slipped out to greet Monk Ma and the others. And the place where I barked like a dog is far away from where they are hiding."

"That's good." Qin Shaoyou felt relieved this time.

Now that the fake Zhang Benwu's identity has been discovered, and his painted skin has been tampered with, Qin Shaoyou and others will leave Zhang's mansion and go to the next suspicious point to investigate.

It is also a stepping stone for the encirclement and suppression operations after the arrival of large troops.

But just as they were about to leave, a servant led Zhang Shilang over with a lantern.

Zhang Shilang was about to rest, but when he heard the commotion outside, he called someone to ask and found out that his grandson had sent the nursing home to look for the dog, so he came to have a look.

Zhang Benwu in the study seemed a little flustered when he noticed Zhang Shilang's arrival.

It didn't care about continuing to paint the skin, so it quickly grabbed it and put it on, and then blew black air at the sleeping maid and nanny.

The maid and the nanny immediately woke up, and while blaming themselves, they also wondered why they fell asleep inexplicably?

Zhang Shilang quickly entered the study.

After Zhang Benwu greeted him, he said, "It's so late and you haven't slept yet, what are you doing?"

Painted Skin Ghost put on a serious look.

"My grandson is reading "Shangshu". I used the sixteen-character heart scripture to get rid of demons and ghosts, which made me further realize the importance of sage books."

Zhang Shilang was really overjoyed, after a few words of encouragement, he asked him a few more questions in the "Shangshu", seeing that his answers were all good, Lao Huai was very relieved and nodded repeatedly.

"If you have any questions about your studies in the future, you can ask me anytime."

"Grandson thanked grandfather."

Zhang Shilang nodded, and suddenly asked: "The nursing home said, you asked them to find a dog. What kind of dog is it? I'll send someone to help you find it."

"It's just an ordinary dog, so don't bother grandpa." Painted Skin Ghost obviously didn't want to talk about it, so he forcibly changed the subject: "Grandpa, can you tell me about your previous official career?"

"Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"

"Because the grandson will be like his grandfather in the future, to be an honest and honest minister who assists the king and worries about the people, and takes the country's society as his own responsibility!"

"Hahaha."

Zhang Shilang smiled happily when he was flattered by his "good grandson", and he really talked about what happened when he was an official.

During this process, Painted Skin Ghost asked a few questions from time to time, and gradually changed the topic from how to be a good official to talking about Zhang Shilang's interpersonal relationship in the officialdom.

But Qin Shaoyou and others who were lying on the roof felt that something was wrong the more they heard it.

This Painted Skin Ghost really wants to be an official!

To be precise, it wants to be Zhang Shilang!
