Following a long laugh that was as bizarre as an owl's call, the ghost-faced man outside the courtyard wall came across the wall in an instant, and suddenly stood in the courtyard, his figure lingering in the Linli corpse field.
The owner of Eryouzhai was already uneasy. When he heard the word "Huang Protector" mentioned by the ghost-faced people, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
"Save me quickly! My killer is here!"
Nervousness affected his fragile nerves, and even his words were vibrating, showing that the master of Eryouzhai lost control of his emotions in an instant.
When he saw this strange man with upside-down features and distorted appearance, he became even more frightened and barged into the Xiang Palace regardless of Jiang Wen's obstruction.
Jiang Wen frowned slightly. He was almost sure that the person opposite was the Red Lotus Virgin. After all, the existence of Netherworld Alley was not uncommon. As long as the other party was interested in inquiring about the movements here, it would be easy to track down the alley.
But the human skin mask in front of me can turn the facial features upside down and distort the appearance, just like Van Gogh's famous painting "The Scream". The human contours on the face are all distorted and skewed, which is really puzzling.
"Are you going to kill him?"
No matter what the other party's purpose was, Jiang Wen planned to temporarily bail out the owner of Eryouzhai so that he could clean out the intelligence information in his belly.
Jiang Wen was very curious about Beifa, and Jiang Wen had never seen Feitian Hanbao, but he saw the words Feitian Shenbing in the underground tomb of Jipi Lane. If this story involves the former Song Dynasty, then there must be something worthwhile. Understand the secret.
His own exploration was like wielding a shovel on overlapping ancient ruins. He could always detect some winding traces of his predecessors, which constantly aggravated his curiosity.
As for the two black and white Wu Chang who were ordered to follow him into the alley and now disappeared in Yizhuang, Jiang Wen didn't plan to care so much and let their master handle it on his own.
As soon as the two met each other, Jiang Wen heard the indistinguishable voice of male and female.
"……It's you?"
The ghost-faced man's movements paused for a moment, and his dazed figure quickly circled around Jiang Wen, reflected in the courtyard full of corpses and bones, and the only sound that could be heard was the howl of the ghost fox.
Because the ancient bronze sword was still deeply embedded in the pillar, Jiang Wensuo abandoned his sword and used his fists, preparing to fight with the opponent, and decisively blocked the opponent's path.
Jiang Wen stood still.
"you know me?"
The two of them executed several moves in a row, and Jiang Wen could only feel that the opponent's internal energy was also surging. Although it was still a body-protecting method in the martial arts of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was particularly strong and powerful. Every time he touched the body, there was a rebound and shocking force.
In terms of external martial arts, it is even more unbelievable.
The steps of the ghost-faced man were erratic, as if they evolved from step fighting. The three steps and nine traces were like ghosts, which made Jiang Wen dizzy. The fists and feet were flying, the murderous intent was hidden, and the posture was endlessly weird. Even Jiang Wen had already Even the extremely skilled Mianzhang couldn't put the power of his palm into the whole body.
When he was dazed, Jiang Wen simply used defense as offense, staring ahead and talking to himself.
The ghost-faced man didn't stop, but made a faint sound resound through the courtyard.
"Protector Huang, you are hiding here secretly but letting the brothers in the sect wait. I don't know how long you will delay it!"
The Xiangdian was clearly empty, but the owner of Eryouzhai was rummaging through boxes and cabinets, looking for something, and roared angrily.
"You just want to find an excuse to kill me!"
The ghost-faced man fell silent and broke another standing tree during the fight: "You are in charge of Hongyang Minzhong. Only you can mobilize so many people. It will be impossible for you to escape if you are burdened with guilt!"
The two of them didn't talk to each other, but Jiang Wen couldn't help but stepped forward and spoke fair words.
"There are different paths for people and ghosts in Netherworld Alley. If you take the wrong step, you will really enter the underworld. Life is precious, why do you push people too hard?"
The ghost-faced man stepped forward coldly, looked at Jiang Wen who was guarding the door, and heard the call from the owner of Eryouzhai in the room: "Save me quickly! I am willing to tell you all the clues engraved by the former Song Dynasty!"
"You see, now that the other party is willing to satisfy my curiosity, I really can't bear to betray him."
Jiang Wen had an upright look on his face, and then he stepped forward and whispered, "Or this way, we can get the benefit in half and split it into half, and the two of us don't have to fight and kill each other. Do you think this is good?"
But what greeted him was the ghost-faced man suddenly dodging away, and then thrusting his palm directly into Jiang Wen's side.
This move was so sudden and bizarre that even Jiang Wen couldn't see how the move had changed and evolved. He could only turn his hands sideways and turn into fists to block the palms that were coming forward. Then he raised his hands and punched. His body from shoulders to fingertips was like firecrackers. There was a crisp sound, and the force was already thrown in front of the opponent.
The ghost-faced man suddenly fell backwards, as if being pulled back by an invisible force. He turned around and landed in mid-air, just in time to avoid Jiang Wen's direct punch.
"What kind of trick is this?"
Jiang Wen retracted his move angrily, standing with one palm in front of his chest, as if he was ready to attack, "Your Excellency, there is actually no need to kill him. I happened to chase him all the way today, from Jipi Lane to Netherworld Lane. If you don’t relax, you can tell that the people in the room don’t seem to have harmful intentions.”
The ghost-faced man said coldly: "The fact that he secretly hid the blood Buddha statue of Mingzun and concealed the Netherworld Engraving is a sign of loyalty?"
The voice of these words was a bit loud, even the owner of Eryouzhai in the room had to know clearly, and his voice was aggrieved and trembling as he defended himself.
"Didn't Hongyang Holy Child tell you that reading those ghost books will attract evil spirits! After reading two more volumes, he went crazy and went to seek death. He held the ji and asked Luan every day to ask for the magic of immortality! I'm careful just now After reading through the volume, I found that the clay Buddha statue at home was broken, and I kept seeing a woman hanging out of the window!"
The ghost-faced man's cold voice remained the same.
"You have evil intentions, and you will naturally suffer the consequences of seeing ghosts in the daytime. It would be a huge injustice if several ancient scrolls of our religion were lost in your hands."
The owner of Eryouzhai made a huge noise in the house as if he had suffered from epilepsy, and the roof of the house was almost lifted off.
"What a joke, I have a ghost in my heart?! I dare to attack and kill the Qing soldiers and hide here, what kind of ghosts will I be afraid of! I would say that the ghosts in Jipi Lane are just fake ghosts, and there are real ghosts in this Nether Lane! !”
The ghost-faced man pressed forward step by step, testing Jiang Wen's tight defensive line, leaving no trace on the sand with his footsteps.
"It's nonsense, follow me to Islam and receive your punishment."
The owner of Eryouzhai seemed to be on the verge of going insane in anger and fear. Jiang Wen had never seen a strange person before.
Originally, when a person dies, everything comes to an end. It is just a handful of loess scattered on the ground, and a few dust particles gathered together. Just ask how there is such a person in the world who dares to live in ancient tombs all day long and kills people with his hands, but is so afraid of death.
The master of Eryouzhai's fear of death almost exceeds his desire for life, as if once he enters the eternal netherworld, something extremely terrifying will be waiting for him.
"There are ghosts in Fuzhou City! There are ghosts in Netherworld Alley! I secretly read the book you are looking for! There are only absurd things about monsters in it, and there are no teachings from the Mingzun! I can read it to you!"
"Sun Ce led his troops across Zhejiang to capture Kuaiji and slaughtered Dongye. The blood from Jingloumen flowed into the Minjiang River, angering the ghosts and gods at the bottom of the river. He died violently soon after, and it was not until his brother Sun Quan moved out of Zhongshan that he could rest in peace!"
"During the Dharma crisis in Huichang, Master Hulu taught his companion Sanshan. He tried to build a pagoda with Buddha treasures in Fuzhou City to suppress him. In the end, he failed and ran away from Quan County. He was buried at the foot of the north mountain of the county. He never dared to come back for the rest of his life!"
The owner of Eryouzhai pointed to the sky and swore to the ground.
"The engraving also says that this alley was once the place where Xu Yan, the Minhui sect, watched ghosts in the late Tang Dynasty. The Hun King believed in ghosts and gods, and penetrated the Jiuquan to drill through the underworld. Even if the Baowang Palace burned incense day and night, it could not heal the ghosts. Monster!"
"The former Song Dynasty magistrate died suddenly while writing books, and was buried here. Three months later, the coffin was broken and half of his body was covered with withered bones. He spoke and acted like a normal person, and could communicate with ghost writings. People at that time called him the 'Skull Governor'!"
"Wang Mian also resurrected in Tianzhang Temple... Tianqi Jinyi guards snatched the remains..."
"I found that the writing on that page was continuing. I couldn't finish it... I couldn't finish it..."
The owner of Eryouzhai seemed to be trapped in a terrifying imagination. The noise in the room became louder and louder, and it seemed that a wooden tray filled with sand was deliberately overturned.
Jiang Wen frowned and looked at each other, thinking of the crazy and paranoid Hongyang Holy Child on Manting Peak. Both of them seemed to worship certain knowledge as gods and pursue it endlessly. Even before they died, they never hesitated for a second.
But in this sad state, is it the person who has mastered the esoteric knowledge, or the obscure and sinister knowledge that has captured him?
I wonder if the owner of Eryouzhai would be immersed in such horrific fantasy when he walked through tombs in various places and stayed with the ancient corpses of Mingqi. He would tremble all over and smash the treasures in the city, and then turn around and go to the tombs. What about the ghosts chatting with each other?
The addictive knowledge recorded on the engraving made Jiang Wen unconsciously break out in cold sweat.
These people who lost their minds due to fear are exactly the same as those crazy and drunken rhinoceros in Wei and Jin Dynasties. They were unable to carry things beyond the limits of their minds, and finally fell into madness. These irreversible effects caused by long-term contact are already happening around us.
"The person you are looking for is already crazy."
Jiang Wen stared at the ghost-faced man and pointed at the heavy fog outside the house. "These engravings are too dangerous. I advise you to give up."
Accompanied by the crazy weeping sounds in the Hall of Enjoyment, the ghost-faced man slowly shook his head.
The noise outside the alley is getting louder and louder, and it seems that many people have broken into this dark alley, and they are about to break in here.
"I don't want anyone to disturb these eunuchs protecting the mausoleum."
"Leave the man to me and I'll leave immediately."
The two looked at each other and instantly understood that if they wanted to know the whole story, they had to take away the owner of Eryouzhai in the house - and the only one who could do this at this moment was one of them!
Jiang Wen's long sleeves fluttered in the cold wind, and once again faced the ghost-faced man's bizarre martial arts, the two of them were fighting together again in an instant.
The Ghost-faced Man's internal strength is strong and hard to defeat, and combined with his mysterious fists and kicks, he is not an opponent that can be easily defeated. Even if Hong Xiguan and Chen Jinnan are here, they will inevitably suffer losses.
As the lights flickered, Jiang Wen could faintly see the threads connected in the air, converging towards the Ghost-Faced Man from multiple directions.
He had seen these threads in Sanliting before, so every time the opponent used martial arts that went against common sense, it meant that Jiang Wen was fighting with many people and was falling into the most unfavorable group fight for him.
But this time, Jiang Wenli's left palm in front of him was extremely heavy, like dragging a thousand pounds of sand. The force was stacked and chaotic, and finally turned into a sky full of sand. The thick and light, the solid and the empty. , a palm that instantly caused the building to tremble!
