“Ahem!”
I pretended to cough twice, smiled bitterly and said, "Hey, if there's a chance, Master Qi, you'll get to meet my master!"
Then I said in a loud voice: "Now let's quickly deal with that Taoist Yang Chen. I think the Regeneration Pill will be ready in less than half an incense stick of time!"
Soon our eyes were all focused on the Taoist Yang Chen.
Taoist Yang Chen had taken off the hood of his grey robe, revealing his skinny face. His eye sockets were sunken, and he looked at us sternly.
After a while, Taoist Yang Chen said coldly: "There are many people who want to deal with me, but it has been more than 200 years, and I am still in the world of the living. As for those who wanted to deal with me, most of them have turned into dust."
After saying that, the Taoist Yang Chen walked to a cage next to the wooden door of the small temple.
He raised his hand and pulled down the black cloth on the cage. After the black cloth fell, we saw a very scary scene. We saw that there were actually people in the cage.
But the bodies of those people were connected together, and they had no heads. How should I put it? It was as if they had stuck their heads into each other's buttocks, and the buttocks were connected to the necks of the broken heads.
I suddenly thought of a word in the Yin-Yang Soul Crossing Notes: human centipede!
The human centipede is described in the Yin-Yang Soul Crossing Notes, saying that the human centipede strangles people to death and then hangs them on the beams for seven days and seven nights. At the moment when the souls in the bodies of those dead people turn into ghosts, their heads are chopped off to increase their resentment.
At the same time, the caster also needs to use magic to trap the souls that have turned into ghosts in the corpse, and then use a needle made of coffin nails to string a red thread to sew the buttocks and neck.
There are many details to pay attention to when making a "human centipede". Only when all the details are complete can a real human centipede be made. A human centipede is generally divided into nine sections, that is, nine dead bodies with their heads cut off connected together.
However, the head of the person in the first section of the human centipede created by Taoist Yang Chen remained.
"That's... the human centipede!"
I said with a trembling voice.
Master Chu and others beside me were all stunned.
Fatty Li swallowed his saliva and asked me, "Brother Yang, what is that 'Human Centipede'?"
I didn't know how to explain it, so I simply replied to Fatty Li, "They are humanoid monsters, similar to centipedes! But they are very destructive."
Master Chu may have heard of the name of "Human Centipede". He stood beside us and explained a few words to us with a look of shock. Although his words were slightly different from the introduction in the Yin-Yang Soul Crossing Notes, he still explained it clearly in general.
Everyone standing on the open space of the small temple was shocked.
I am relatively calm.
I found Sister Xilan standing in front of a collapsed wall and starting to vomit violently.
At this moment, the Taoist Yang Chen said softly to the human centipede in the wooden cage: "Okay, baby, go out and kill them all!"
With a "crash", the cage containing the human centipede fell apart in an instant.
The human centipede with arms and legs jumped out of the wooden cage.
I found a talisman attached to the head of the first segment of the Human Centipede. There was a golden light flowing on the talisman. It was a "corpse-raising talisman", but not a standard corpse-raising talisman. It was a more complicated talisman.
"Oh no! That human centipede is coming! Everyone be careful!!"
Master Qiao Anqiao exclaimed solemnly.
He didn't need to remind everyone, everyone could see it. Then the human centipede went towards
They rushed towards us, and the first person to be hit was Master Chu. Master Chu saw that he could not dodge, so he chopped at the centipede with the peach wood sword in his hand.
But with a "crack", the peach wood sword in his hand broke in the middle.
It can be seen how strong the body of the human centipede is.
Strictly speaking, although the ghost of the human centipede is trapped inside the body, this connected human centipede cannot be considered a ghost, but can only be described as a monster.
"Bang!"
Master Chu was knocked over by the human centipede, and his body was lifted up and thrown five or six meters away. Moreover, the nine sections of the human centipede were still naked, and the originally yellow skin had already turned into a bright black color.
After Master Chu was blown away, the second person was Lou Xiaoman.
Lou Xiao took out the Liang Yi Mirror, gathered the Yin De Qi on it, and suddenly released a purple light, just like when she was in the stone cave. Her purpose was to immobilize the human centipede.
But the result went against one's wishes. Although the purple light was emitted, it had no effect at all on the human centipede.
The Yin-Yang Mirror is a magical tool for catching ghosts. It is only effective against ghosts. Now it is not working at all when used on that monster.
Soon, several hands of the human centipede reached out towards Lou Xiaoman.
Fortunately, Lou Xiaoman's steps were very skillful, and she dodged in disappointment. Otherwise, with so many hands roaming and tearing her body, she would definitely be torn into pieces even if she was very skilled in Taoism.
For a moment, everyone was like ants on a hot pot and began to hide.
I stepped on the Seven Star Steps and my speed was pretty good, but compared to the human centipede with eighteen arms and eighteen legs, I was still a little struggling.
Furthermore, the head of the first section of the human centipede had sticky liquid still oozing out of its mouth, which looked extremely disgusting.
The hand of the human centipede grabbed towards me, and I just dodged it, but the next moment, the ninth segment of the human centipede swung and hit my chest directly.
There was a poplar tree on the open space of the small temple. It was about as thick as a thigh, and I bumped directly into it.
My mouth felt sweet and I spat out a mouthful of blood. Perhaps the smell of blood stimulated the human centipede, and it rushed towards me again.
The rustling sound made my scalp tingle.
Fortunately, at this time, Master Xiao Junmin was hiding behind a broken stone tripod not far from me. Seeing that I was injured and the human centipede was rushing towards me again, he quickly threw out the red string tied with the Five Emperors' Coins from his arms.
The red rope was thrown out and, with the help of the Five Emperors' Coins, wrapped around the first section of the human centipede.
Master Xiao pulled, and the pair of legs on the first segment of the human centipede bent.
Because the human centipede was still rushing forward, under the action of inertia, the legs and feet on the first front segment tilted and stopped suddenly, and the segments behind it squeezed forward.
With a "plop!", the human centipede fell to the ground.
But the human centipede was so powerful that even after it fell down, it immediately rolled up from the ground the next moment.
Master Xiao was holding the other end of the red rope in his hand and was planning to pull it again, but what he didn't expect was that the red rope was directly torn off by the human centipede's hands.
Seeing the critical situation, Master Xiao hurriedly stepped on the Gang Step and appeared beside me.
He reached out and pulled my clothes, and I was pulled to his side.
He took me and moved several meters away.
With a "bang", the human centipede lost control and its long body hit the poplar tree.
Poplars are
It was hit and tilted a lot, and the leaves on it fell down one after another.
I stood beside Master Xiao, took a deep breath, and thanked him, "Master Xiao, thank you for saving me. Otherwise, I'm afraid that human centipede would tear me to pieces!"
Master Xiao spoke in a low voice, "It's okay, it's okay! ... By the way, Brother Yang, did your master, Taoist Haiping, teach you how to control the human centipede?"
“This!”
I thought about it for a while, and then I said seriously, "Yes, he did mention it, but he didn't say much about the human centipede."
"It's okay, it's okay. Whether there is a way or not, just tell us first and see if we can temporarily restrain the monster!" Master Xiao said anxiously.
At this time, the human centipede had already climbed up again and rushed towards the others.
For a moment, the entire small temple was filled with panicked shouts.
Fatty Li was chased so hard that he rolled over and fell, screaming "Oh my God! Oh my God!", which was very funny.
At this time, three people gathered next to me, Master Chu, Master Qi and Master Xiao.
I said to them, "My master told me that although the human centipede is controlled by the ghost inside its body, it is also constantly consuming the ghost's soul power. If you want to deal with the human centipede, you have to find the weakness in its body."
"weakness!?"
Master Qi asked hurriedly, "Is the weakness of the human centipede on the 'Corpse Raising Talisman'? Is it true that as long as the 'Corpse Raising Talisman' on the first head is torn off, the human centipede will collapse!"
What I just said is actually the introduction in the Yin-Yang Soul Crossing Notes, but the description of the human centipede in the notes is not very detailed. The notes say that the human centipede has not appeared for hundreds of years, and the recorder in the notes said that the human centipede's methods may have been lost.
But that Taoist Yang Chen lived more than two hundred years ago, and he knew how to create a human centipede.
I shook my head and said, "It doesn't seem to be about the corpse-raising talisman. The 'corpse-raising talisman' is just a talisman used by Taoist Yang Chen to control the human centipede. It is still quite difficult to truly restrain the human centipede."
"What should we do then?"
Master Qi asked anxiously, his expression revealing a panic that was difficult to conceal.
Master Chu glanced towards the small temple.
Seeing the golden light in the pill furnace becoming stronger and stronger, he said quickly: "Oh no, the pill is about to be made. We have to think of a way quickly, otherwise, the human centipede will stop us, and we will not be able to stop Taoist Yang Chen from swallowing the pill!"
"But there is no way now! That human centipede is too powerful. Its skin is like armor and cannot be broken or destroyed!"
Master Xiao added: "Otherwise, we can set up a Taoist formation to see if we can trap the monster!"
Master Xiao’s method is good, but it is too late to set up the Taoist formation now.
At this moment, I suddenly thought of the yellow book that Zhang Quezi gave me.
If we follow what Zhang Guizi said at the time, as long as a person dies, he can be called a "corpse". If so, then wouldn't the human centipede also be called a "corpse"
Then I quickly took out the yellow book that Zhang Guizi gave me from my cloth bag.
Zhang Quezi said that the yellow book contains some methods of raising and controlling corpses.
I hope to find something useful in the yellow book.
Just when there was a lot of noise in the small temple, I finally turned to a page in the yellow book.
There was a note from Zhang Cripple on that page, which said that if a ghost trapped inside a corpse wanted to escape from being controlled, it could use a jade "soul-guiding needle" to pierce the "Tian Zong Point" on the corpse's back.
