dragon hunter

Chapter 257
Opposite me was an ancient wooden bed, with a thin piece of human skin sticking to the ground and squeezed out from under the wooden bed.

The moonlight outside the window shone in through the window, I looked at the constantly stretching and stretching human skin, and my scalp felt a little numb.

Ghost Detective Xu rushed over and stomped on the human skin, but his calf was tightly wrapped by the human skin, and he couldn't break free no matter what.

A cold woman's laughter came from that human skin face, that distorted and deformed face looked particularly terrifying.

Holding the bone dagger tightly, I rushed over and stabbed the man's skin.

The man's skin was very slippery, and the dagger slid down a bit, but even so, a gap was opened in the man's skin.

An ear-piercing scream came from the top of the human skin. The distorted and flat woman's face stared at me with venomous eyes.

"Look at your sister!" I stabbed again.

The human skin shrank back all of a sudden, curled up into a ball, and kept screaming piercingly.

I kicked the curled up human skin away, dragged Ghost Tan and ran away, this evil thing was making a lot of noise, afraid of attracting other things.

I ran out of the room in a hurry and saw that the door of the opposite room was open. I didn't think much, and ran in directly.

As soon as I entered, I smelled a strange fragrance. I was overjoyed, and guessed that the Huasheng powder was hidden in this room?
I quickly looked around, and saw that the other side was covered with a red gauze curtain, and there was faint candlelight coming from inside.

That alluring fragrance came from the red gauze curtain, I rushed over and opened the red gauze curtain with a dagger.

The scene opposite made me almost have a nosebleed, and my face turned red all of a sudden.

A woman with a graceful figure is sitting in the bathtub, wiping her round arms with a towel, and red flower petals are sprinkled on the water.

The alluring fragrance was the scent of flower petals, and the sound of dripping water filled the atmosphere in the room with ambiguity.

"Am I pretty?" The woman's voice was magnetic and seductive.

I swallowed my saliva and kept telling myself that this was a trap, but I just couldn't help it and wanted to take a few more glances.

The woman stood up suddenly, her whole body was wet, stepped out of the tub, and walked towards me.

My heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and I took a step back subconsciously. Then, my neck was hooked by a pair of arms, and a pretty face approached me, and asked her again if she was pretty.

That strange fragrance seemed to have the effect of confusing the mind. My mind was confused for a while, and I wanted to answer subconsciously, saying that she was beautiful.

When the words came to my lips, I suddenly came to my senses, stretched out my hand to push the woman away, gripped the bony dagger tightly, and stared at her vigilantly.

The woman was not annoyed, she smiled slightly, picked up the red gauze dress on the shelf beside her, put it on her body, twisted her waist, and danced.

There was always a voice in my heart, telling me to leave here quickly, but my feet seemed to be rooted, and I couldn't move half a bit.

The strange fragrance around me, coupled with the beauty's dancing posture, my mind became confused again, and I walked forward blankly, wanting to reach out to hug that woman.

The woman smiled seductively, with a somewhat smug smile, and her waist twisted even harder.

The moment my arm was about to touch the opponent, I suddenly woke up and quickly took a step back.

The woman's smile suddenly froze on her face, she stopped dancing, and looked at me uncertainly.

While I was awake for a moment, I quickly recited the Qingxin mantra silently to get rid of distracting thoughts in my mind.

The woman's face suddenly became blurred, and when I recited the mantra for the second time, the surrounding scenery seemed to have changed.

The red gauze curtain became old, covered with dust and cobwebs, and the bathtub placed in it was also decayed and tattered, even a piece was missing.

But the beauty just now disappeared all at once. Under the light of the green candlelight, I saw a miserable white skeleton lying in the tub.

"Bone beauty!" I exclaimed, with lingering fear in my heart.

In the Sutra of Broken Physiotherapy, this kind of magic was mentioned. If I was really bewitched by the illusion of a beautiful woman, I would end up like a skeleton lying in a bathtub.

As soon as I walked out of the room, I saw Ghost Detective Xu running over in a panic, my heart tightened, I gripped the bone dagger tightly, and looked behind him.

"Leave quickly, those paper lanterns have all appeared." Ghost Detective Xu said in panic.

Before he finished speaking, he saw two white paper lanterns floating in the opposite corridor.

My face changed drastically. These evil paper lanterns always appear in groups. If I get entangled by them, I will die.

Not far behind, there was a small path, and we hurriedly retreated there without hesitation.

After walking a few steps, a few colorful lanterns appeared out of thin air around us, scaring us to death.

In desperation, I raised my arm and stabbed at the colorful lantern directly opposite with the bone dagger.

A surprising scene happened, my arm went straight through the colorful lantern, it turned out to be a phantom.

The other colorful lanterns, as if they didn't see us, went straight through our bodies and drifted away leisurely.

"What's going on here?" I was confused and scratched my nose with my hand.

"Could the white paper lanterns that appeared just now be fake?" Ghost Detective Xu asked in a speculative tone.

"Go, go back and have a look." I hesitated, then turned and walked back.

I haven't found anything yet, if I just leave like this, I'm really not reconciled.

We bowed our bodies slightly and looked around in fear, afraid that the situation just now was just an example.

Just after turning a corner, I almost bumped into a white paper lantern head-on. I was so scared that I jumped back a step, looking wary.

The white paper lantern passed through our bodies and just floated past.

Ghost detective Xu and I looked at each other, joy flashed in our eyes, although we don't know what happened to this weird scene, but the current situation is undoubtedly beneficial to us.

I was about to speak when I suddenly smelled a faint scent of sandalwood. I remembered that the eldest lady mentioned that after the transformation powder was burned, a sandalwood scent would be produced. My heart moved and I sniffed around to find the source of the scent.

A growing number of lanterns loomed all around, ignoring us and cruising the courtyard.

I gestured to Ghost Detective Xu, and groped towards the west side of the courtyard. The faint scent of sandalwood came from there.

After walking a few steps, I found the surrounding scenery somewhat familiar. I suddenly remembered that the side yard behind was where the Yin-Yang Well was located.

At that time, when the white gray man brought us here, we had to queue up to enter the side yard, but now there are no ghosts.

Those red paper lanterns were just like last time, cruising on both sides.

I walked cautiously among those lanterns, my heart was in my throat, if my whereabouts were revealed suddenly, there would be no chance of escape.

There was no danger along the way, and after several cautious trials, I found that it was not the lanterns that became illusory, but us that became transparent.

The reason why those paper lanterns cannot detect us is because our body has become as transparent as air, invisible and intangible.

"Can you please hurry up, the secret technique of Netherworld Dive is too expensive, and I can't hold it anymore." A thin female voice rang in my ear.

I suddenly heard the eldest lady's voice, and I was startled. I hurriedly looked around, but found nothing.

Then, I found myself and Ghost Tan Xu, the dominoes hanging around our necks were shimmering, and my heart moved, and I finally realized that it turned out that the eldest lady was secretly protecting us.

I glanced at the densely packed paper lanterns around me, thinking about what would happen if the secret technique failed, I shuddered, and walked forward quickly.

Passing through the circular arch, I saw the Yin-Yang Well again, but the scene on the opposite side made my eyelids twitch sharply.

A masked figure sat cross-legged in front of the well, holding an incense burner in both hands, and the faint sandalwood came from the incense burner.

I never imagined that I would suddenly meet the masked man, a layer of cold sweat gushed out of my forehead instantly, and my heart seemed to be tightly squeezed by a hand.

The masked guest seems to be cultivating, but he hasn't noticed us yet. He is concentrating on absorbing the white mist that emerges from the well from time to time.

"Don't stand still, while he can't see you for a while, run away immediately after taking the transformation powder." The young lady's voice, as thin as a mosquito, came from beside her ear.

I took a deep breath, held my hands and feet, and leaned towards the masked man. The man had been practicing with his eyes closed and had no other reaction.

Stealthily approaching the other party, I quietly stretched out the bone dagger and stabbed the masked man between the eyebrows.

At the same time, Ghost Detective Xu reached out and snatched the incense burner from the opponent's hand, and ran away.

As if stabbing a dead tree, the mask on the opposite figure's face was split in two, revealing a face made of paper.

It was a paper dummy, with weird runes painted on its face, but a pair of eyes were gouged out from a living person, and they were still bloodshot.

Gululu rolled his bloody eyeballs, and then stared straight at me, which made people feel terrified.

Ghost detective Xu, holding the censer, had fled five meters away. The concealment effect on his body was gradually disappearing, and a red lantern was chasing after him.

I gritted my teeth, swung the bone dagger, and wiped the paper puppet's neck.

There was a blur in front of his eyes, the wrist holding the dagger was grabbed by a hand like iron pincers, and the arm could not move.

In a panic, I stretched out two fingers and poked the opponent's eyeballs.

The corner of the paper puppet's mouth twitched, showing a weird smile, grabbed my neck, and walked towards the Yin-Yang well.

I struggled desperately, but my body was imprisoned by invisible forces, and I couldn't escape the claws of the paper puppet.

Seeing the dark mouth of the well, right under me, I felt chills all over my body, wondering what would happen if I was thrown down.

A melodious sound of the piano, from far to near, in the hazy night, a slender figure in white, like a flying fairy from the sky, floated towards this side.

The paper puppet's iron-pincer-like hands loosened a bit, and I took the opportunity to retract my arm, holding the bone dagger, and stabbing at the opponent's eyeball.

Juice splashed, and one eyeball of the paper puppet was pierced by a bone dagger.

I put my foot on the paper puppet, broke free from the puppet's restraint, and took the opportunity to roll over to one side.

The paper puppet was stunned for a moment, roared like a beast, and chased me with one eye open angrily.
