Chapter 7 It’s your bad luck (grin) [New book, please collect it! ]
When people jokingly say that someone is ugly, they often say that he has a look that can ward off evil spirits.
In fact, ghosts are not afraid of ugly people. No matter how ugly a person is, can he be uglier than a ghost?
Today, Li Chu proved with his own experience that only a handsome man can ward off evil spirits.
After dealing with the vengeful spirit, he did not stay in the empty Xue family house, but walked out directly.
As soon as I walked out the door and onto the street, I heard shouting coming from the opposite street.
Zhou Dafu came out of the alley opposite with a group of detectives and called out in a hurry, "Master Xiao Li, where are you going?"
Li Chu didn't answer, but looked at them strangely.
After a moment's thought, he guessed that these officials had not escaped at all, but were all too afraid to come in, so they were just watching in the alley.
If he runs out now, he might think that he is going to slip away too.
When he came closer, Zhou Dafu's face became hot when he was swept by his gaze. He smiled and said, "I just found my brothers and wanted to come back to help you. Let's get started!"
Li Chu shook his head: "It's over."
"Ah?" The detectives were greatly surprised.
Zhou Dafu was also surprised and asked, "Master Xiao Li, you...finished the lady...so quickly?"
"Well, it went quite smoothly." Li Chu said lightly.
After looking at the faces of the detectives, he decided to briefly mention the exorcism process so as not to sadden them.
"So where are you going?" Zhou Dafu knew that Li Chu would not lie, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face again.
Li Chu said: "It's still early, I'm going to go back to Shilipo first."
It was just getting dark. If he went back to kill monsters now, he wouldn't fall behind in his daily progress, which made him feel very satisfied.
After a pause, he continued, "But since I exorcised the evil spirit in advance, the reward should still be paid as agreed, right?"
"Don't worry, the bounty is fine." Zhou Dafu waved his hand, then came over and tugged at Li Chu's sleeve, whispering, "How about we celebrate tonight and go and have some flowers and plants together?"
"Flowers and plants?" Li Chu was puzzled.
The constable next to him said with a sly smile: "Just go to Chun Man Lou, spend some money, and have some fun..."
Li Chu was embarrassed and declined politely: "No."
Another constable laughed and said, "Master Li, are you embarrassed? Don't worry, you'll get used to this kind of thing."
"I think..." Li Chu looked up at him and said slowly, "There's no need to spend money on this kind of thing."
Then he nodded to everyone and turned to leave.
Looking at his straight back, an old constable sneered quietly: "I didn't expect this little Taoist priest is such a miser. Tsk, where would the grass come from without flowers?"
But after he said that, he immediately felt something was wrong.
Thinking about Li Chu's face, it seems... even if the girls in Chunmanlou pay for it, no one will refuse.
Thinking about it this way, it's no wonder that he felt there was no need to spend money.
A group of detectives looked at each other and suddenly felt that the wind was a little cold tonight.
"Damn it!" someone cursed angrily.
Even though he didn't know what he was angry about.
…
On a cool summer night, the stars and the moon are bright.
It was only ten miles from Yuhang Town to Shilipo. Even if Li Chu walked slowly, he would arrive there in a short while.
Although the road was wide, there were wild woodlands on both sides and no human figures.
Although the curfew in Heluo Dynasty was not strict, the control of the city gates was still strict. Moreover, this was a world full of evil things. Unless there was something extremely urgent, normal people would not go out of the city to walk at night.
Of course, this does not apply to those who are practicing cultivation.
As they walked, near Banjiang Pavilion, Li Chu noticed something was wrong.
It was too quiet around. There should be many living things on a summer night in the wild, toads in the puddles, mice and birds in the woods, cicadas in the trees, and wild beasts howling in the mountains. They were usually noisy, but at this moment they had all disappeared.
And a fishy smell began to come from my nose.
There are four types of evil things: demons, ghosts, and monsters. Among them, the demon smells fishy and stinks, which will make mortals dizzy if they smell it for a long time. The devil smells pungent and makes mortals feel angry. The ghost smells cold and makes mortals feel nauseous.
Monsters are a collection of all kinds of strange and bizarre creatures in the world. In fact, they do not belong to the same category, nor do they have a unified aura category.
It can be said that aura is the most distinctive feature of evil creatures and the most important basis for judging. It is precisely because most evil creatures cannot hide their aura that they can only move outside human settlements.
If it were not so, evil things in the world could infiltrate the city at will, and then humans might not be able to live in such peace.
Li Chu could conclude that the smell he smelled now was evil spirit.
And it was a richness he had never felt before.
Out of caution, he did not intend to cause any more trouble and quickened his pace to return to Deyun Temple.
But things just can't be avoided.
After taking three quick steps, his waist seemed to suddenly touch a thin but tough silk thread, and an elastic force suddenly fed back to him.
He quickly twisted and stepped back, and found that the white belt had been corroded and turned black.
This thread is poisonous!
With the help of the bright moonlight, he opened his eyes and looked around carefully, only to find that the silk threads in front of him were in the shape of a Bagua, like a huge spider web!
Not only was the official road blocked, but the woods on both sides were also densely covered with these black threads! There were several dead animals lying on the grass in the forest, apparently they had died from the poison after touching the threads.
High, low, left, and right, even birds can’t escape.
What is this for, hunting?
It was the first time that Li Chu encountered such a thing. He carefully took two steps back, trying to find another way.
At this time, a black figure flashed out from the Banjiang Pavilion on the side of the road.
Hearing the noise, Li Chu looked over immediately.
Then a bald man in black tights, tight sleeves and leggings appeared.
Li Chu didn't know why he was wearing a nightgown, because it didn't mean much.
His bald head was too conspicuous at night! When the moonlight shone on it, it was reflected like a halo covering his body. If Li Chu believed in Buddhism, he would kneel down and kowtow to him.
It was also because his bald head was too bright and it was dark under the light that people couldn't see his facial features clearly.
It was because of this bald head that Li Chu realized at second glance that the most shocking part of his body was not his head, but his arms.
He has eight arms!
Each one looks strong and muscular.
As he appeared, the demonic aura around him became more intense and ripples appeared. It was obvious that he was the real culprit.
Li Chu stared at him without saying a word. He had not met many monsters before, and he did not know how to speak when he did not know where the other party came from.
The eight-armed man also looked at Li Chu. He was very young and had no Qi fluctuations. He seemed to be just an ordinary Taoist priest.
Then he let out a strange laugh.
Just when Li Chu didn't understand what he was laughing at, he suddenly attacked!
The eight-armed man quickly raised his right hand, and a dark crack appeared on his palm. With a hiss, a black beam of light shot out, almost invisible in the night!
If Li Chu did not have excellent eyesight, he would have almost not seen the black light. He quickly moved sideways and barely avoided the black light.
A strange hissing sound came from the ground, and Li Chu realized that the black light was a poison. It fell on the official road and corroded the sand and soil of the official road in an instant! If it fell on a person, it would definitely be a loss of bones and flesh.
Li Chu frowned and looked at him: "I have no grudge against you, why did you suddenly kill me?"
“Hehehehe.” The eight-armed man grinned cruelly, “Who told you to appear here tonight? Blame it on your bad luck!”
The eight-armed man raised his head, and Li Chu saw clearly that he had two rows of eyes on his face! It was very scary!
He stood under the moon with all eight arms spread out, looking ferocious and like a demon!
