Gou Wen, who fell into the "Illusion of the Sea of Desire", was not lost or died in it. In order not to scare the snake, Li Xiaoqi just asked Lou Kongming to erase all Gou Wen's information about the "Secret Ghost Hall of No Return". memory.
When Gou Wen came to his senses again, he found that he was in his office, and Shen Ying, who should have turned into a walking zombie due to the extreme mental stimulation of the terrifying fantasy, was now intact with Gou Wen. Wen Hui reported something, but the strange thing is that at this time Gou Wen could only see Shen Ying's mouth opening and closing, but could not hear the slightest sound from her. What he could hear in his ears was that when the phone signal was not good, The "sizzling" sound.
Shen Ying's report continued, and as the "sizzling" sound in his ears became louder and louder, Gou Wen seemed to hear a demonic whisper, but before he could clearly hear what the whisper was saying, A person who looked exactly like him opened the door and walked in. Then he burned a piece of talisman with this person, and an incredible scene happened. Under Gou Wen's surprised gaze, Shen Ying was like an illusory image. , disappeared in place.
At the same time, as the "sizzling" sound in his ears disappeared, Gou Wen looked at this person who looked the same as himself and said with a wry smile.
"I see."
After saying that, Gou Wen raised his hand and watched as he started to turn into wood bit by bit starting from his fingertips. When his head was about to turn into wood, Gou Wen faced this person who looked the same as him. man, asked.
"Which number am I in?"
After hearing that he was the eighteenth, Gou Wen actually said with a relieved expression.
"Great, the suffering is finally over."
After saying that, Gou Wen completely turned into a wooden man.
And this strange scene was noticed by a man hiding on the rooftop of a high-rise building in the distance, wearing a large black hooded windbreaker and sunglasses. He looked away in the direction of Gou Wen. The man in sunglasses stood up and looked at He said in the direction of the rooftop entrance.
"Come out, the store manager said you will come."
As soon as the man in sunglasses finished speaking, Li Xiaoqi, Lou Kongming and Qu Yasi walked out from behind the rooftop entrance. Li Xiaoqi, who also saw the strange scene just now, simply asked directly.
"What happened to Gou Wen just now?"
After hearing Li Xiaoqi's inquiry, the man in sunglasses explained to Li Xiaoqi.
The Gou Wen they met in the "Unreturnable Mysterious Ghost Palace" before was not his real body, but a clone technique called "Wood Walker" recorded in the "Book of Lu Ban", and this kind of clone The magic of the technique is that when the performer writes his or her "birth date" with his or her "heart's blood" on a wooden stake that is the same as the user's weight, the wooden stake will turn into The appearance of the caster, and most importantly, the "Wood Walker" as a clone has the same memory as the caster, but is completely unaware that he is just a clone.
After listening to the explanation of the man in sunglasses, Li Xiaoqi asked in surprise.
"That's it?"
Seeing Li Xiaoqi's surprised look, the man in sunglasses seemed to have expected Li Xiaoqi's reaction, and then explained.
"Let's not talk about how Gou Wen managed to get the blood from his heart without killing himself."
"In ordinary people's understanding, wooden stakes are short, thick, and not more than one meter tall. As an adult, Gou Wen weighs no less than 130 kilograms. I think you can also imagine that one No matter how heavy a wooden stake is, it cannot weigh one hundred and thirty pounds."
"Therefore, in order to complete the Wood Walker, the next thing to do is to find a person with the same birth date and horoscope as the caster, dig out all his internal organs, fill them with the wooden piles that were hollowed out in advance, and then use his flesh and blood. And a quarter of the caster's blood to make up for the missing pieces, so the Wood Walker is almost complete."
"And the most important thing is that in addition to the role of the clone, the Wood Walker can also help the caster to reduce the damage suffered by the body. Curses are also included. Those who practice Luban Shu will have three disadvantages in their fortunes. Five shortages can also be regarded as a curse."
"Finally, the most critical and terrifying thing is that, as one of the few forbidden techniques in Lu Ban's book, not to mention the fact that there are very few people who have actually completed the Wood Walker, just the step of taking blood from the apex of the heart has caused countless people to die due to failure. die."
"Looking at Gou Wen's stand-in's lip syncs just now, he has already completed eighteen. Li Xiaoqi doesn't need me to say anything else, you should also understand the seriousness of this matter."
"When we go back to the 24-hour convenience store at night, we will be fully prepared. I hope your Civet Office will not slack off at all."
Although Li Xiaoqi and the others let go of Gou Wen's "Wood Walker" clone in the "Secret Ghost Hall of No Return", the yellow hooded raincoat was still brought back to "Night Return Twenty-Four" by Yao Longhuang. "Hourly Convenience Store", but before Yao Longhuang and Lao Wu could start studying this raincoat, which Gou Wen's "Wood Walker" cloned and called "removed from bones and transformed into skin into clothing", with Gou Wen's "Wood Walker" The clone's body gradually turned into wood, and the yellow hooded raincoat also began to turn into wood from the corners. Realizing that something was wrong, Yao Longhuang directly used twenty "isolation barriers" to block this raincoat from the outside world. This connection prevented the raincoat from continuing to become woody.
After the yellow hooded raincoat stabilized in the "isolation barrier", the wooden corners gradually returned to normal. However, after the raincoat returned to normal, it fell from the air to the ground, piled up and wrinkled. It's no different from an ordinary raincoat.
Just when Yao Longhuang and Lao Wu tried their best to activate the yellow hooded raincoat, the man in sunglasses who came back from outside saw the yellow hooded raincoat in the "isolation barrier" and started to activate it. He took out a small gourd bottle that resembled a "Quick-acting Jiuxin Pill" from his pocket, and then casually threw it onto the "Isolation Barrier". Then the raincoat that fell to the ground suddenly bounced off the ground as if it had been given life. got up.
Under the gaze of Yao Longhuang and the others, transparent blisters appeared on the surface of the raincoat, like scalded skin. Finally, when the blistered raincoat looked like a large toad skin, Yao Longhuang and the others only listened. , a scream sounded from the raincoat, and then the raincoat suddenly exploded, turning into pieces of rotting flesh, scattered in the "isolation barrier". Seeing this, the man in sunglasses smiled and said to himself Said.
"What's fake will always be fake."
Seeing how the man in sunglasses understood everything, Yao Longhuang said with a wry smile.
"Langshan, you old boy, stop showing off here. If you know anything, just tell me quickly."
In addition to what Langshan and Li Xiaoqi saw before, Yao Longhuang and Lao Wu learned that the so-called "removal of bones and skin into clothing" mentioned by Gou Wen's "Wood Walker" clone was actually from South China. A kind of mountain spirit named "Mandrill Dragon" is a means of reincarnation when encountering danger or being seriously injured. Every time it undergoes "removing bones, skin and making clothes", "Mandrill Dragon" becomes more powerful than before. They were much more powerful before. There is a legend that as long as the "Mandrill Dragon" completes twenty-one "removal of bones, skin and clothing", they can get rid of the word "Mandrill" and transform into a real dragon. But for the "Mandrill Dragon" It is very sad to say that there are also legends that most of the "mandrill dragons", although their life span is several times that of humans, whenever they are about to arrive, they "shed their bones and skin again" for the 21st time. "Ready-made clothes" is a feeling, just like being teased by God. Among humans, a brave existence will inevitably appear to kill the "mandrill dragon".
Judging from the current situation, this "brave" is probably Li Xiaoqi, but what worries Langshan now is that Gou Wen, as the "Mandrill Dragon", while studying "Lu Ban Shu", also Using the forbidden technique "Wood Walker" in "The Book of Lu Ban", he speeded up the process of "removing bones, turning skin, and remaking clothes".
For "Night Return 24-hour Convenience Store" and "Civet Office", there are only three opportunities left to completely kill Gou Wen. If these three opportunities are wasted, Li Xiaoqi can only force it. Scalp, become a "dragon-slaying hero". When talking about this, Langshan and Lao Wu both looked at Yao Longhuang with evil smiles on their faces, and Yao Longhuang, who understood what they meant, said with a pained face.
"My father is a dragon and I am not, so don't even think about letting Li Xiaoqi practice with me."
