Chapter 20 Putting on the Skin of a Ghost
Secretly holding the sword energy in his hand, he waited for the cane to stop, and before he could see who was in front of him clearly, he waved his hand and slashed out quickly, but was pinched gently, and Chen Mo's face flashed in the shadow of the tree.
Yue Xinxin was startled, and hurriedly grabbed Chen Mo's hand and looked through it. She couldn't help complaining: "Are you okay? I didn't know it was you! How could there be a sudden attack!"
Chen Mo's palms were broad and rough, with obvious joints. A thin white mark on the palm was the mark made by a knife.
Yue Xinxin repeatedly groped for the white mark, feeling unbelievable, "My dear, I sucked so hard!"
Chen Mo felt a little itchy in the palm of his hand. He wanted to pull it out but couldn't pull it back, so he had to say calmly: "I'm fine, you can let go."
Yue Xinxin let go with a smile, and then happily recounted her victory. "Where have you been? Did you see the ghost I just chased? She wanted to sneak attack me, but I cut off all her hair!"
Chen Mo nodded. He deliberately let the ghost go and held Yue Xinxin, just not wanting to scare the snake away.
"Follow me." He held Yue Xinxin's arm and climbed straight up a hundred-meter-high spruce tree to the top.
Standing on the top branches of the trees, the entire valley is at your feet.
Night shrouded the rugged land, and the criss-crossing ridges and ridges formed countless ravines and folds, forming shadows of varying depths, large and small, from which large clouds of black gas emerged.
That is ghost energy, which can only be found in places where ghost cultivators and ghosts gather.
Somewhere underground in this mountainous area, there is a huge mausoleum. The owner is at least a prince, maybe an emperor.
After that man died, countless living people were buried with him and sealed in the mausoleum.
Not only was there no food and water, but what was even more terrible was that a large amount of mercury was poured into the tomb. It was originally intended to prevent the corpse from decaying, but it was a deadly poison for living people.
The burial companions died with their eyes open, forming a large number of wronged souls, which gathered here for a long time. But the owner of the tomb relied on devouring and absorbing the wronged souls, and became a ghost cultivator, named Tao Wu.
Chen Mo and Kou Jinyi had been tracking Tao Wu before, but he was so elusive and mysterious that they only found this former lair.
"Emperor's Tomb!" Yue Xinxin's eyes widened, and her eyeballs kept rolling.
If it has not been robbed and dug up, it is really Alibaba's treasure cave! Even if it has been stolen and dug up, even if you can pick up a broken brick, it is still a cultural relic!
But where is it? Looking at the mountains and forests at a glance, the traces of the mausoleum back then have long been covered up.
Chen Mo glanced at her. "Although Tao Wu is no longer here, his lair is not that easy to get to. There are many big ghosts guarding it. Do you dare to go?"
"Hey, aren't you going?" Yue Xinxin said suspiciously.
"Do you think gold, silver and jewelry are meaningful to me?" he asked.
Yue Xinxin was startled, and suddenly stamped her foot hard, "The gold, silver and jewelry have no meaning to me, I am not a human being!"
She felt very frustrated, "What do I need those things for now? My physical body can't come back, I can't even survive!"
Just when she was about to refuse, Chen Mo said lightly: "Of course, in addition to worldly belongings, the tomb also contains magic weapons refined by ghost cultivators."
"Where is the mausoleum!" Yue Xinxin asked firmly.
Chen Mo said calmly: "Don't be busy. There are many ghost cultivators in the valley, and your magic power is weak. I have to find a way to let you in."
He floated to the ground, where lay the bound long-haired ghost cultivator.
Chen Mo stretched out two fingers and touched the Shenting point on the head of the long-haired ghost cultivator. It seemed like a drop of water fell into the lake, causing ripples. Then the long-haired ghost cultivator's outer skin fell off like clothes, and an energy was released from the inside, floating around.
Between heaven and earth.
It was the first time Yue Xinxin saw what it was like to be in a state of despair.
But the skin of the long-haired ghost cultivator is still there, and it was well preserved by Chen Mo.
"Put it on."
Yue Xinxin was a little reluctant, this thing was not clean! But due to Chen Mo's gloomy expression, she had no choice but to take it.
Putting on the outer skin, Yue Xinxin turned into a bald man with holes in his head. He suddenly felt depressed. He should have been lenient just now and left some hair at least!
Forget it, at least you can sneak into the valley, and if you can steal one or two magic weapons, it will be worth it.
Just as he was about to take action, Chen Mo pulled him back. "Don't worry, get your possessed hourglass."
Yue Xinxin didn't know why, but she still took out the hourglass and saw Chen Mo gently holding it in his palm. A ball of light gradually appeared in his palm, and the colored sand in the funnel bottle actually flowed out from it, like a stream floating in the air, flowing towards Yue Xinxin.
One end flows towards Chen Mo.
The refining method of this magic weapon is to use powerful magic power to draw a charm to control consciousness, and then carve the charm into colored sand and put it into a bottle.
Now the colored sand connected the two of them, pulling Chen Mo's consciousness into Yue Xinxin's brain. Yue Xinxin suddenly felt that someone was speaking softly in her ear.
"Okay, let's go."
Looking at Chen Mo opposite him, his lips had not moved. The voice just now was obviously just his consciousness.
Yue Xinxin exclaimed, wow, the possessed hourglass can still be used in this way, this is a real wireless headset.
Now Yue Xinxin has a living map in her mind, guiding her into the mountains and valleys.
Between these ridges and ravines, it is difficult for the moonlight and stars to enter, it is dark and difficult to walk, and ghosts are everywhere. From time to time, one or two sets of skeletons can be seen on the roadside, some of them have been there for a long time, some have just begun to rot, and some corpses have fallen not far away.
Utensils such as Luoyang shovels are very similar to tomb robbers.
These people wanted to make money by killing people, but in the end, their souls were sucked by ghost cultivators, and they died violently in the wilderness with no one to collect their bodies.
A distant song came from a big tree, and there were two ghost cultivators, a man and a woman, holding hands and leaning against each other on the thick horizontal branches.
If the two of them didn't have legs in their lower bodies, this situation would look sweet.
Seeing Yue Xinxin, the female ghost cultivator raised her hand to say hello: "Wu Nu!"
It turns out that the faceless and long-haired ghost cultivator is called Wu Nu.
The head of the female ghost cultivator stretched out from the tree, but her body did not move, still nestled together with her companions.
Her long neck circled around Yue Xinxin, and finally stopped directly opposite her. She stared at her bare forehead for a while, then suddenly burst into a burst of crazy laughter.
"A womanless woman has become a bald woman! Hahahahahaha! She's also covered in leprosy!"
Yue Xinxin clenched her fists, "The hell do you think you are better looking than me because you hang yourself with a long neck?!"
The male ghost cultivator floated down from the tree, floated in front of Yue Xinxin without touching his feet, and said seriously: "You and I are the same kind of people. I think you are actually a better match for me. You see, I am the same way."
He reached out and grabbed his hair, pulled it out, and the entire scalp and skull were torn off, like an open trash can, revealing the brain and brain inside.
Yue Xinxin felt nauseated, and veins were pulsing in her arms and fists. What the hell are these bastards? Give me a slap!
"Stop!" A low voice whispered in his ear, and Chen Mo's voice instantly calmed Yue Xinxin down.
"If you don't control your emotions, this layer of skin will explode!"
Yue Xinxin's mouth twitched, "What? Please explain clearly!"
Chen Mo told her that soul cultivators and ordinary people have physical bodies wrapped with energy. Their physical bodies are strong, tough and solid, able to withstand external attacks and eliminate various losses within themselves.
But ghost cultivators are different. They have no physical body, only this thin layer of skin, which is actually relatively fragile. Therefore, annexing and devouring other souls is also a dangerous thing for ghost cultivators. This layer of skin must be smelted and strengthened at the same time.
OK, otherwise it will self-destruct.
Now Wu Nu has lost her soul, and this layer of skin is on the verge of collapse. Yue Xinxin only borrowed it temporarily to wear it. If the internal energy cannot be controlled well and the thoughts and emotions are allowed to expand wantonly, then even the smallest thought may become a
The last straw that broke this layer of skin.
