At first, when Zhang Ran heard the name Wang Chongwen, there was nothing strange about it. However, Zhang Ran heard a familiar feeling in the words they talked about. Then he compared it with the memory in his previous life and found that it was similar to the name in "Painted Skin". The plot is almost the same.
It is said that Wang Chongwen received the advice of a Taoist priest while seeking divination. He went out and walked northwest in the middle of the night, where he would meet a noble person who could help him pass the exam. However, he went northwest and came to a building called Kuixing Pavilion. In the ruined temple, I did not meet the noble person mentioned.
Instead, he met a woman crying bitterly, and then the beauty mysteriously disappeared. The melancholy Wang Chongwen returned home, and a beauty appeared in front of him from the sky. The beauty called herself Mei Niang, and she was the daughter of the examiner. Wang Chongwen was overjoyed after hearing this, and wanted to use her to get into the world.
So Wang Chongwen hid Mei Niang in the backyard without telling everyone in the family, and had fun with Mei Niang day and night. From then on, Mei Niang killed the servants in the house from time to time, but Wang Chongwen didn't pay attention. They are all servants, and if they die, they will die.
Then Mei Niang instigated the relationship between Wang Chongwen and his wife Chen. Wang Chongwen became more and more intolerant of Chen, and finally found an excuse to drive Li out of the house.
Chen wanted to commit suicide and met his brother-in-law Wang Chongwu who was studying martial arts abroad. After listening to Li's cry, Wang Chongwu returned home and discovered that Mei Niang was actually a painted ghost who painted human skin and pretended to be a beautiful woman. Wang Chongwen then Knowing that the ghost was behind the scenes, Wang Chongwu knew he was outmatched and immediately went to ask for his master. However, he came back late. Although Wang Chongwen's son was saved, Wang Chongwen's heart was ripped out and he died.
This plot is similar to what Zhang Ran encountered in the palace, except that Wang Chongwen here immediately asked an expert to get rid of the ghosts after encountering the people in the palace. Everything else is roughly the same. As for the Li family being driven away When we left the palace, this incident had not happened yet.
Mei Niang who caused trouble in the palace was a painted ghost, and Wang Chongwen was hiding in the backyard. No wonder I searched all the women close to Wang Chongwen but couldn't find her.
Zhang Ran felt confident and looked for the fierce monk, but he didn't find it. Hearing from the servants in the mansion that the fierce monk had left the mansion, Zhang Ran had to wait patiently. Taking advantage of this time, Zhang Ran used the fade-out method to I went to the backyard and confirmed that it was Painted Skin Ghost.
Monk Ji didn't come back until noon, only to find out that Monk Ji had gone to visit two seniors who were living in seclusion in Tangjiawu. These two seniors were friends of Master Monk Ji. Monk Ji happened to be traveling here, so of course he wanted to visit. , to show respect.
Monk Ji also came here to travel. The purpose of traveling is to improve his Dharma. This is also the consistent method of Northern Shaolin. Only after experiencing thousands of worldly affairs can he understand his own way of Buddhism. Therefore, after traveling and returning to Northern Shaolin, Monk Ji A monk can become an inner disciple.
According to Monk Ji, the martial arts in Northern Shaolin need to be practiced in conjunction with Buddhism. The stronger the Buddhism, the stronger the martial arts. However, Monk Ji’s martial arts has reached the level of inner disciples, but Buddhism has not yet reached the level.
Zhang Ran said to the fierce monk: "We found where the ghost is." He told Mei Niang that she was a painted ghost.
Zhang Ran plans to work with the fierce monk to get rid of the ghosts.
The fierce monk went to see Mei Niang and saw through his eyes that Mei Niang was a painted ghost. He knew that Zhang Ran had indeed found it, so Zhang Ran and the fierce monk discussed it and decided to get rid of the ghost in the afternoon.
In the late afternoon, the sun is the strongest in the day, and it is also the time when the yang energy is the heaviest. Generally, weaker ghosts will turn into ashes when exposed to the sun at this time, which is a good time to get rid of ghosts. .
Zhang Ran and Ji Monk wanted to get rid of Mei Niang. This time they did not tell the Wang family. According to Zhang Ran's speculation, Mei Niang was now favored by Wang Chongwen. If they said that Mei Niang was a ghost, Wang Chongwen would definitely not agree with the two. People can get rid of ghosts. After all, although the two of them were sure that Mei Niang was a ghost, there was no evidence.
When Mei Niang was eliminated, Mei Niang showed her prototype and turned into a painted ghost. It was easier to explain than any other explanation. This was Zhang Ran's idea. In fact, Monk Ji didn't agree with it. Monk Ji also came up with an idea. They always Pay attention to the Painted Skin Ghost, as long as the Painted Skin Ghost harms people, they will find out immediately and catch him and get him.
Only after the fierce monk thought about it, he removed his idea and agreed to Zhang Ran's idea. It turned out that his idea took a long time, and Mei Niang's killing time was uncertain, so it was not easy to catch Mei Niang's pigtails. Unlike Zhang Ran's idea, although it was a bit reckless, it had quick results.
But before it was too late, Zhang Ran and Monk Xi heard the news from the housekeeper that someone had died again. Although he died in broad daylight, Monk Xi was already used to strange things, but this ghost was too fierce. He also dared to kill people during the day.
This painted-skinned ghost is no ordinary ghost.
The painted skin ghost can talk like a human being, and is as cunning as someone who can act during the day. This is one of the reasons why Zhang Ran and the fierce monk joined forces. The painted skin ghost is a bit fierce, and Zhang Ran is afraid that he will not be able to defeat it.
Zhang Ran and Monk Xi came to the well. The dead person was right next to the well. She was a maid. She was killed when she was washing clothes with the water in the well. There was a bloody hole in her chest and her heart was dug out.
There was a look of horror on the maid's face, as if she had seen something terrifying before she was alive.
Zhang Ran threw a fireball down and burned the maid's body to ashes. Zhang Ran said: "Gather the ashes and bury them in a grave."
After the housekeeper heard this, he made arrangements. Zhang Ran and Monk Ji waited silently for the future to arrive.
It's not time yet.
Zhang Ran brought Zhao Ling'er who was watching the show. Zhang Ran didn't want Zhao Ling'er to take action. Although Zhao Ling'er was good at using poison and had similar martial arts skills, he couldn't deal with ghosts.
Monk Heji came to Mei Niang's wing in the backyard.
"I haven't made any move since I arrived at the palace, and this Painted Skin Ghost doesn't know my depth yet. You go ahead and lure the Painted Skin Ghost out, and I'll respond." Zhang Ran said.
The fierce monk took the magic staff and kicked open the door of the wing. However, the fierce monk didn't see Mei Niang in the wing, so he started looking for her and couldn't find it in the entire wing.
The fierce monk knew that Mei Niang had used ghost magic. Under the cover of ghost magic, he could not find Mei Niang.
The fierce monk covered his left eye with his left hand and his right eye with his right hand. Then he lightly touched his eyes with both hands. Suddenly, the fierce monk's eyes emitted a golden light. This was the fierce monk using his wisdom eye.
His eyes looked everywhere in the wing, looking for Mei Niang inch by inch. When he saw the bed, the originally empty bed suddenly changed. The bed was filled with layers of black air, especially the black air deep in the bed. The air became even darker, like an endless abyss with no bottom.
"Death to you monster!!" The fierce monk picked up the magic staff and smashed it against the bed. Wood chips flew and the bed was smashed into two halves. A very beautiful beauty appeared on the bed.
"You stinky monk, you are so annoying. I will definitely kill you today." Mei Niang's beautiful face showed a ferocious look.
One claw clawed at the fierce monk.
The fierce monk held the demon-suppressing treasure staff and faced him, and fought fiercely with Mei Niang.
The sound of the fight between the fierce monk and Mei Niang alarmed the people in the palace, and soon attracted many servants and maids. If Zhang Ran hadn't reminded the fierce monk that he was fighting a ghost and kept them far away, otherwise they would have been there long ago. Infected by Mei Niang's ghostly spirit.
Although being contaminated by ghost energy is not a big deal, it can cause serious illness.
Then Wang Chongwen came, followed by the housekeeper and his wife Li.
"What happened here?" Wang Chongwen said anxiously.
This yard was the yard where he secretly raised Mei Niang. What happened here?
"We found out who the ghost is. He lives in this wing. The evil monk has already gone in to get rid of the ghost. I stayed outside to prevent the ghost from escaping." Zhang Ran said.
After hearing Zhang Ran's words, Wang Chongwen was stunned and said loudly: "Mei Niang is a ghost? How is it possible!!"
Zhang Ran said: "We have confirmed that Mei Niang is a ghost, and you see that Mei Niang is fighting with the fierce monk Master, you come and go, can a weak woman do it?"
Wang Chongwen said excitedly: "No, I still don't believe it. I want to have a look." As he said this, Wang Chongwen walked towards the side room.
When Wang Chongwen left, Mrs. Li asked softly: "Who is this Mei Niang?"
Zhang Ran pretended not to know and said: "Don't you know? This is Mr. Wang's new concubine. Unfortunately, although the concubine is very beautiful, she is disguised as a painted skinned ghost."
Hearing Zhang Ran's words, Mrs. Li looked sad, and even shed tears. She was so sad. She and Wang Chongwen had been in love for so many years, but she didn't expect that Wang Chongwen would accept the child. The concubine didn't tell her and kept her secretly in the backyard. Was it because he knew that she didn't want Wang Chongwen to have a concubine, so he didn't tell her.
After crying for a while, Li thought of the Painted Skin Ghost mentioned by Zhang Ran later and said, "What is the Painted Skin Ghost?"
Zhang Ran said: "The painted-skinned ghost kills a beautiful woman, peels off her skin, and then draws the beauty's appearance on the skin. The ghost that wears it on his body is called a painted-skinned ghost."
Li was horrified. This painted-skinned ghost was so terrifying. It wanted to peel off people's skin. Then she thought of something and said, "My husband was deceived by the painted-skinned ghost, so he did such a thing." After all, this is a ghost. , many novels circulating on the market are not about scholars being deceived by ghosts and doing unwise things.
Zhang Ran said: "There is also a part of Mr. Wang who has evil thoughts in his heart."
Li was silent.
Entering the side room, Wang Chongwen saw Mei Niang fighting with the fierce monk.
Mei Niang's eyes lit up when she saw Wang Chongwen, and she said pitifully: "Sir, please save me. This fierce monk wants to kill me just because I have learned some martial arts and he thinks I am an evil ghost."
When Mei Niang spoke, she became even more charming and charming, as if she wanted to capture Wang Chongwen's soul. Wang Chongwen was immediately fascinated: "Master Fierce Monk, Mei Niang is not an evil ghost, please let her go." When he walked towards the fierce monk.
"Donor Wang, please leave the wing quickly, this ghost is confusing you."
But just as the fierce monk finished speaking, a dagger stabbed the fierce monk in the heart, but the fierce monk reacted, and a phantom of a bronze bell appeared around him.
However, the phantom of the bronze bell appeared after the dagger stabbed the chest, but it appeared in time. There was only a small wound on the chest, which was not heavy. When the phantom of the bronze bell appeared, it flicked the dagger away. At the same time, Wang Chongwen was pushed three to four meters away.
Yes, it was the fierce monk Wang Chongwen stabbed with a dagger.
At this moment, Zhang Ran appeared behind Wang Chongwen, struck out with a knife, knocked Wang Chongwen unconscious, and then threw Wang Chongwen out of the room. Zhang Ran did not want to give Mei Niang another chance to use her tricks.
Zhang Ran waved his hand, and two fear hounds the size of adult tigers appeared in front of him, wagging their tails and circling Zhang Ran twice, and then opened their mouths to kill Mei Niang.
