Chapter 3 The Demon Master
It's night!
The red lights of Meixiang Building are hanging high, and the laughter of the bells and swallows is coming out along the candlelight, which is so unhappy.
Dongdongdongdongdongdong!
"Who?"
"It's me, why are you so lazy today? It's almost time to come. If you're late, there will be no beautiful girl."
"I'm a little sleepy today, let's go somewhere else."
"What's the sleepiness? I think you're short of money. Could it be that you can't pay out the money?"
"Fuck, I'll be so little money, wait for me."
Wu Qi opened the door with an angry look on his face. Although the market for the girls in Meixianglou has risen recently, he can still get the money out of gritting his teeth. The reason why he is sleepy is because he found that he has lost some desire since he came back from Chenghuang Temple. In the past, he was unable to hold back his gauze posture of the girls in Meixianglou, but he has no reaction today.
The two left together, and their companions talked about the beauty of the girl in the building. If Wu Qi had discussed it with him in the past, but today he was out of interest and was about to arrive at Meixiang Tower. However, in the corner alley, there was a woman standing.
A thin gauze skirt, a pretty face reflected by the red candle, bright red and springy.
"Isn't this Miss Jin'er?"
Wu Qi and his companions recognized him at a glance. This was the courtesan girl Jin'er in Meixianglou. However, this girl Jin'er is a kind of young man who sells arts but not her body. She is mostly rich young men and scholars in the city to take care of their business. Meixianglou is like Wu Qi. She has only seen her meet several times from afar.
"How could this future courtesan appear here?"
Wu Qi and his companions were puzzled, and at this time the beauty waved to him. Wu Qi's companions pulled Wu Qi and walked towards the alley without saying a word.
"But Miss Jin'er, don't you know what to do?"
"Are you going to Meixianglou, two men?"
The sound is like a yellow oriole, and it is pleasant to hear, especially the red sandalwood mouth spits out the word "Langjun". The black hair can clearly feel the trembling of the companion's body.
"Miss Jin'er is going to Meixianglou too?"
"I had an argument with the Madam Meixianglou and was driven out. Now I have bought a small courtyard myself, but no guests come to visit me. Seeing the handsome two men, Fengshen, are you willing to go to my courtyard to listen to Quwen Tea?"
When Wu Qi heard what Miss Jin'er said, he understood that this Miss Jin'er was driven out by Meixianglou and now he was going to do it alone. This is the guest who came here to grab Meixianglou.
But, with the appearance of Miss Jin'er, how could Meixianglou be willing to bear it?
"Miss Jin'er, we are naturally willing, but this price?"
Although Wu Qi's companion wanted to go immediately, he also knew how much money he had in his pocket. On weekdays, he had to coax him with a little beauty in Meixianglou. Like Miss Jin'er, the money in his pocket is probably not enough to listen to a song.
"The two men are so handsome, only one or two silver dollars are enough."
One tael of silver, although the price is not low, enough for two ordinary girls, but when I think this is Miss Jin'er, the price is still acceptable.
"Three, together?"
"I...I'll forget it."
Wu Qi wanted to agree, but the key point was that he found that he had no reaction to this girl Jin'er. If he really spent a little money to listen to a song, wouldn't it be too wasteful?
"You're a stingy person, then you can come next time."
Seeing her companion hurriedly pulling Miss Jin'er's hand and leaving, the shadows of the two overlapped under the candlelight, Wu Qi always felt something was wrong, but she couldn't say it.
...
The wilderness outside the city!
A male corpse was hung on a tree, with wide eyes, but a look of enjoyment on his face, and a huge blood hole on his chest.
"Sir, this is the fifth corpse."
"How long have you been dead?"
"Within an hour."
Next to the body, six men stood, led by a young man in brocade clothes.
"In one hour, it's still time."
A dagger appeared in Liu Qing's hand, which struck the palm of his left hand, and blood flowed out, but he didn't care at all, revealing his right arm, where there was a strange butterfly tattoo. It was said that it was weird because the butterfly had a pair of fangs.
Liu Qing looked at the tattoo, then covered her left palm, which was stained with blood, directly on the tattoo on her arm. The blood flowing out of the palm of her hand was quickly absorbed by the tattoo, and the butterfly's wings were dyed red.
Looking at the pale face of his adult, the other men looked unbearable on their faces. As a demon-attached master, every time they used the power of the monster, their vitality would be lost until they finally died completely.
But they had no choice. If they had not used the power of monsters, the human race would have been completely extinct hundreds of years ago.
After absorbing enough blood from the weird butterfly tattoo, it finally stopped. The next moment, the pair of wings actually started to flare. With the flare of the wings, a red butterfly flew out from Liu Qing's arm.
The red butterfly fell on the corpse, and the pair of fangs quickly pierced into the corpse, and after a while, they floated up and headed in a certain direction.
"Chase!"
Liu Qing led his men to follow the butterfly's trajectory, which could lead him to find the evil ghost who committed the crime.
...
A dilapidated temple outside the city!
The cold moon hangs high, but there is no sound of insects ringing around.
The red butterfly stopped at thirty meters away from the temple, and then crawled back into Liu Qing's body and disappeared.
Liu Qing frowned. Lao Die would lead him directly to the ghost before retreating, but this time he suddenly retreated early. This time, he only explained that the evil ghosts in the temple might not be average.
"Be careful."
Reminding his men, Liu Qing walked towards the deserted temple first, and took advantage of the moonlight. When he saw clearly the situation in the deserted temple, his heart trembled and shouted sternly: "Go away for me, go back and report to the director immediately, and a second-rank evil ghost appeared!"
The second-grade evil ghost, these four words made Liu Qing's men's face turn pale because they knew what the two words "second-grade" mean.
There are two types of demons and ghosts in the world. One is not included in the grade. The demons and ghosts that are not included in the grade can be dealt with by ordinary people using some means. But once they are included in the grade, they can only use the power of demons.
At the scene, only Liu Qing was the demon-attached master, but the butterfly demon possessed by Liu Qing was just a first-grade monster and could not deal with the second-grade evil ghost at all.
"The second-grade evil ghost must not let him leave, otherwise there will be endless disasters. You should be clear about the first law of the Huwei Guard and retreat quickly."
After Liu Qing said this, the man rushed towards the temple, and he wanted to create time for his subordinates to escape.
"grown ups!"
These men were unwilling to accept it, but since they joined the Zhenhu Guard, the first law they came into contact with was: they are not afraid of sacrifice but are not allowed to make indifferent sacrifices.
News of the appearance of the second-grade evil ghost must be reported immediately, otherwise countless people in the villages will suffer from the poison.
"Sir, you have to hold on, and we will notify the Director immediately."
Liu Qing did not respond to his subordinates because he knew very clearly that even if the Chief Director arrived as soon as possible, it would take an hour. He could not hold on to this time. The only thing he could do was to delay the evil ghost as much as possible and let his brothers escape safely to spread the news.
In the deserted temple, a female ghost in red gauze dress was surrounded by black air. On top of her head, two balls of black air condensed into black balls the size of a fist. This is a symbol of the second-grade realm.
Liu Qing gritted his teeth and rushed into the temple gate without any hesitation. The moment he entered the temple gate, the entire temple was instantly filled with black air, and Liu Qing's skin began to ulcerate at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Old Die, it's up to you."
His own power could not deal with the evil ghost. Liu Qing roared at the butterfly demon on his right arm. The roar fell. The butterfly demon flew out from his arm again, and his wings flapped, and the black air that enveloped him was blown away.
Hehehe!
Seeing the butterfly demon appear, the woman in red smiled on her face. She raised her right hand gently, and a few wisps of black air shot out from the black ball above her head, slashing on the butterfly demon like a whip.
Bang!
The butterfly demon fell to the ground, flapping his wings and flew up again. But it was just shaking but not yet steadily, the black whip fell down again.
Blow down, fly up, knock down again...
Every time the Butterfly Demon flew up again, Liu Qing's face turned pale, because every time the Butterfly Demon takes action, he absorbs his vitality.
The female ghost in red has the ability to directly kill the butterfly demon, but it is obvious that the female ghost in red has not done so, which is deliberately joking about Liu Qing.
The butterfly demon was once again chopped to the ground, and the left wing was directly penetrated by black air and could no longer fly. Liu Qing felt heartbroken on his face when he saw this. Lao Die has been with him for almost twenty years, not only in his cooperation and exploitation, but also in his life and death brothers.
As a demon-attached master, there are two sources of possessed monsters. One is the demon-raising master of Zhenhuwei, who attaches the monsters to the selected human body. The monsters are housed in the human body to absorb the energy and spirit, and at the same time lend their own power to the possessed human beings.
Another situation is that monsters voluntarily possess them, and this is the case with Laodie.
More than ten years ago, Liu Qing had just met the crown when he encountered an old farmer who caught a beautiful butterfly and sold it to a nobleman to watch. When he saw the butterfly, he bought it from the old farmer and released it, and the butterfly was an old butterfly.
At that time, the old butterfly had just successfully transformed into a cocoon and had not yet recovered its strength. Then he fell into the hands of the old farmer. After being rescued by him, he took the initiative to possess him. Then he was found by the people from Zhenhuwei and joined Zhenhuwei.
The black air above the female ghost's head attacked again, this time it was heading towards the butterfly demon's head. Seeing this, Liu Qing rushed directly and blocked the butterfly demon.
puff!
The black gas hit the back, and Liu Qing squirted out a mouthful of blood, and his body fell to the edge of the butterfly demon, one person and one butterfly, extremely miserable.
"Old Die, you can't wait for the day when you break out of your body. For the sake of the people of Raozhou, don't blame me."
Liu Qing looked at the Butterfly Demon and murmured, with a determined look in his eyes. The Butterfly Demon seemed to understand what Liu Qing said, and raised his wings and gently patted Liu Qing's face, responding to Liu Qing.
now!
Raozhou Prefecture, Chenghuang Temple!
In front of the statue platform, the candlelight swayed, and no one noticed it, and the statue trembled slightly.
Chapter completed!
