From Xiaoao to travel around the world

Chapter 206 Painted Skin
The Taoist asked strangely, "Why won't she let you go?"

The woman trembled all over and said with a pale face: "She said that she has no relatives and no reason, so she asked me to stay with her. I was grateful for her taking care of my mother, so I agreed to stay for a few more days.

But, I was sleeping soundly that night, but I heard her keep calling 'sister, sister'. When I opened my eyes, I saw her lying on top of me, scratching my face with her nails.

Her hands were cold, her body was cold too, she didn't get down when she saw that I woke up, she just kept smiling at me..."

The Taoist then asked, "What happened next?"

"Later... Then I fell asleep for some reason, and when I woke up, I saw that she was not at home, so I packed my things and wanted to go back to Vientiane Mansion..."

"Then why are you back?"

The woman knelt down and took two steps forward, grabbing the priest's robe and crying: "The Vientiane Mansion is four thousand miles away from here, and the fastest horse-drawn carriage on the official road will take six days to get there.

I just left for a day, and at night she leaned over me and called me, and told me to come back quickly, otherwise...or else..."

As she spoke, she suddenly opened the neckline, but Yang Qing couldn't see from the side, so she released her spiritual thoughts.

I saw a scabbed red line on her jaw extending straight to her chest, which was obviously scratched by someone with a sharp weapon.

According to the woman, it should have been scratched by the cheap "sister" with her nails.

"It's only now that I understand why my mother is dying, even if she can't speak, she clings to my hand and weeps. She told me to run away..."

"The demons are in troubled times, they are really too rampant!"

Seeing this, the old Taoist slapped his thigh and said angrily: "Long Lang Qiankun, how can I just watch this evil animal harm people!?"

After finishing speaking, he reached out to help the woman up, picked up four talismans from the desk on one side, and handed them to her, "Go back and paste these talismans on the four corners of the bed, so that that vile animal won't dare to come back!"

After getting up, the woman took the talisman and said gratefully: "Thank you for your help, but the little girl is really scared to be alone. I don't know if the master can come to my house for a while. I..."

"This is inappropriate."

When Yang Qing heard this, he knew that the old Taoist must be a fake.

Sure enough, the old Taoist continued: "I am a monk, and you are also a woman from a good family. How is this appropriate? I live in the undisturbed temple outside the city. If you have any doubts, you can come to me tomorrow."

Lin Li stretched out his hand to the woman and said, "Chenghui 20 taels of silver."

After receiving the money from the woman, the old Taoist Shi Shiran collected the money and left the city.

Seeing that there was no excitement to watch, the onlookers also dispersed, leaving only the woman standing there waiting for a long time, not knowing whether she should go home or not.

Yang Qing withdrew his gaze, turned around and saw Wang Mian was also watching the street through the window of a room, and nodded at him with a smile.

"Don't meddle in your own business, go to bed early, you have to hurry tomorrow."

With a promise, Yang Qing closed the window and went back to the room.

Not only did Wang Mian have a cold face, but he also spoke bluntly, which was not pleasant to listen to.

But he didn't take it to heart.

He sat in the room and silently observed the woman's movements with his spiritual thoughts.

Seeing her hesitating on the side of the street for a while, she still walked towards the side of the long street after it was completely dark.

Yang Qing was impatient and curious, and planned to follow up quietly to have a look, but when he moved his mind, he found that Wang Mian had just walked out of the inn.

Just thinking that this person was not hard-hearted, Wang Mian, who was walking on the street suddenly, turned his head and looked upstairs.

He quickly withdrew his divine thoughts, and only after the former had gone far away did he sneak out of the inn again in the dark.

Spiritual thoughts cannot be used unscrupulously, remembering that Shen Luoyan had noticed something abnormal in Tang Dynasty, but few people in that world knew about it.

Reminiscent of the backlash of the aura just now, the contempt for Wang Mian was swept away in my heart.

Containing the whole body of breath, Yang Qing carefully drove his spiritual sense to wait and see from a distance, once he confirmed the position of Wang Mian and the woman, he immediately shrank back.

Following the two people around and around, they arrived at a relatively wide alley in a short while.

Seeing Wang Mian hiding at the end of the alley, he walked around behind the women's room and climbed onto the beam silently.

"Knock knock knock..."

The night was not dark at this time, and there were many sounds of chickens crowing and dogs barking in the surrounding houses, but the woman's knock on the door seemed particularly abrupt.

"Sister Caiyi, are you back?"

Yang Qing soon heard a soft whisper from a woman and the sound of the door opening, although his hearing was good, he didn't hear any footsteps at all just now.

Wei Wei poked her head out to look, only to see a slender girl in white clothes with painted eyebrows and eyes in the courtyard, walking in with a woman she called Caiyi.

I heard the woman say that her mother's funeral should have passed, but the courtyard is still full of white lanterns.

Caiyi looked at the courtyard full of lanterns, her body stopped shaking like chaff, she forced her trembling voice to ask: "Mother's funeral is over, why does my sister hang up white lanterns?"

"whee……"

Hearing a shrill laugh, Caiyi was so frightened that she stood where she was and dared not go any further, but was dragged forward by the girl.

In Yang Qing's perception, the girl was cold and dead, not alive at all.

Although slightly different from last night's corpse, they are essentially the same.

"Sister, let's go."

"Let's go..."

"I tell you to go! Do you hear me!!"

The first two sentences are still whispered and warm, but the last sentence is already cold and frightening!

"Don't come here!"

Caiyi finally couldn't bear the fear, took out the talisman she got from the old Taoist priest and held it up in front of her body and shouted: "I, I...you are not my mother's goddaughter at all, you go, or I..."

"Sister, what are you doing?"

"Ah~!"

Yang Qing peeked, and saw the girl snatch the talisman from Caiyi's hand, tear it to pieces in the blink of an eye.

Immediately afterwards, she stretched her arms around Caiyi, her eyes suddenly rolled up to hide the black pupils, leaving only the whites of the eyes.

The slightly parted cherry lips also became shriveled and rotten, and a long tongue spit out from the mouth, licked Caiyi's face twice and said, "My skin won't go bad for a while, can't you wait any longer?
Why can't you wait any longer! ? "

Caiyi was so frightened that her face paled at the moment, she only managed to hold herself together so she didn't faint, so she dared not reply.

"Sister, you can't wait."

"Then I won't wait...hehe..."

The girl who had turned into a ghost raised one hand above Caiyi's head, and the sharp nails slowly fell, as if to peel her off.

"A mere painted skin ghost dares to poison a good family!"

At this moment, Wang Mian shouted sharply at the gate of the courtyard, and then a string of golden light pierced through the air and shot at Caiyi.

In Yang Qing's eyes, the golden light that is as fast as a spark in the sky is exactly the five talismans.

In front of a talisman overflowing with golden light, the fight immediately turned into a circle, enclosing a man and a demon in it.

At the same time, streaks of pale gold aura fell from the sky like swarms of fireflies, forming a cage together with the talismans.

Yang Qing could see this aura clearly, and it was very similar to the Nine Yang Fire Energy in his body.

"Ah~!!"

The painted skin ghost was photographed by the golden light, and instantly the girl's skin melted down like wax oil, revealing the appearance of a black-faced man inside.

"Come!"

Wang Mian took this opportunity to grab it out of thin air with one hand, and Caiyi flew towards him in the air.

Turning around and looking at the golden light array of talismans, the appearance of the man of the Painted Skin Ghost has also completely melted away, revealing the appearance of a young woman underneath.

"The bastards of the Royal Talisman Sect can't protect themselves and have to meddle in their own business!"

Amidst the cold roar mixed with several human voices, the painted skin ghost's human skin burst and exploded into a cloud of gray-black lifeless energy, rushing towards the surroundings.

The golden light was suppressed by the death energy, and it became slightly dimmer but did not dissipate.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Qing saw it exploding seven layers of human skin, suppressing the golden light to the point of extinguishing, before fleeing out of the courtyard wrapped in a cloud of yin.

Wang Mian didn't chase after it when it ran away, but just leaned over to check Caiyi.

Yang Qing watched the Painted Skin Ghost fly over his head, hesitated a bit and chased after him.

The so-called eradicating evil and doing everything, Wang Mian may have an unspeakable secret and did not pursue it.But he himself has strong qi and blood, and he also has the flaming qi of the nine suns to restrain vicious ghosts.

What's more, now that the Painted Skin Ghost has suffered a serious injury, this is his chance to learn more about this world.

Shen Nian chased after Painted Skin Ghost, and his figure flew towards the distant sky in a flash.

Not long after, Yang Qing chased out of the city and stopped at the edge of a village built along the city.

Unlike the bright lights in the city, most people in the village went to bed early, and it was already pitch black at this time.

He saw that the courtyard where Painted Skin Ghost disappeared was a small courtyard, so he landed and knocked on the door.

"Who?"

Before he could let go of his hand, he heard the voice of an old woman who was transformed into a painted skin ghost in the courtyard.

At this time, Yang Qing didn't care whether it would be exposed or not, his spiritual sense locked his body tightly, and with a little force in his hand, he shook the courtyard door open.

He raised his eyes and saw the Painted Skin Ghost transformed into an old woman, standing in front of the thatched hut in the main hall with an oil lamp in his hand, looking at himself with cloudy eyes, he also had to admire the speed of this ghost's transformation.

Turning his head and looking again, a big yellow dog curled up on the ground in the corner of the wooden fence wall, staring straight at Painted Ghost but didn't dare to make any movement.

Yang Qing smiled and said, "I saw your elder sister Caiyi in the city just now, she asked me to find you back."

When Painted Skin Ghost heard the words, he felt the hairs all over his body standing on end, and the oil lamp in his hand fell instantly.

It raised its eyebrows, its eyes turned white, and looked at the young man in coarse linen with a long sword in front of him and said sharply, "Who are you!?"

As soon as the voice fell, a breeze suddenly blew in front of the ground.

Then look at Yang Qing catching the falling oil lamp in the air, and sticking to it face to face.

Raising the oil lamp to the side faces of the two "people", Yang Qing's body burst into the Nine Suns' flaming energy instantly, making Painted Skin Ghost think that he was close to the sun.

"I just want to see what you are."

"Ugh..."

Painted Skin Ghost screamed and howled straight into the sky, causing a lot of dogs in the village to bark.

Unable to bear Yang Qing's blazing heat, it was about to back away when it suddenly felt a sharp stream of fire in the void behind it, and immediately fell to its knees in fright:
"Shangxian, spare my life, Shangxian, spare my life! My magic power is low, and I can't make magical weapons, and I really don't have many people, Shangxian..."

"call out!"

Before it finished speaking, Yang Qing's thought moved, and the invisible sword energy covered with flames pierced two layers of human skin from top to bottom, cutting the Painted Skin Ghost into two pieces.

The dead air and cracked human skin wrapped in it were swept away by the flames, and they were all turned into fly ash before he waved them away:

"So you can refine weapons..."

Yang Qing walked into the house and saw a woman holding her son hiding under the table, presumably it must be the Painted Skin Ghost before she could persecute her.

Seeing that the two were safe, he didn't stay any longer, turned around and left in the air.
