Confucian Sword Immortal: After studying for ten years, his majesty reaches the sky

As the dark lamp shattered, the team of the Hundred Ghosts Night Walker paused briefly as if they had lost their way, and the other dark lanterns that had changed direction due to the misalignment of the dark lamp gradually returned to their normal tracks.

In addition to the shock, the clear space finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I didn't expect that someone could really stop the night walk of a hundred ghosts with his own strength, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would definitely think it was just an absurd joke.

But just as a few people had just relaxed, the team of the hundred ghosts walking at night suddenly moved again.

What's more, the direction of the dark lantern has returned to the right track, but they are still following the wrong trajectory and going straight to Ning'an Village.

"How is it possible, isn't that dark lamp already broken!" Jingkong

was shocked, and he didn't understand what was going on.

Even Chen Ning couldn't help frowning slightly, his eyes were covered with a layer of purple qi, carefully observing the movements of the hundred ghosts at night.

"I see.

Only then did he realize that although the direction of the dark lantern had changed, there was a strangely dressed person running in front of the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk, constantly luring them in the direction of Ning'an Village.

Sure enough, as the clear space said, the accident that happened in this night walk of the hundred ghosts is very likely to be caused by man.

Although the wine is gone, the drunkenness is still there.

Chen Ning drew his sword again and slashed.

The sword qi was sharp and broke through the air, directly penetrating the body of the figure.

The corpse fell to the ground.

Losing this bait, the mighty Hundred Ghosts finally woke up, and after a moment of hesitation, they returned to their original direction.

At this moment, they were only a few hundred meters away from Ning'an Village.

If we had taken a slower step, I would have nearly half of the village flattened.

"It worked.

Jingkong and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although I didn't make much effort just now, just watching from the sidelines was enough to be scared.

As far as the eye can see, the place where the hundred ghosts have stepped on at night just now is already full of animals, livestock, and even the corpses of more than a dozen villagers who have gone out to farm.

It is enough to see how serious the consequences would be if the hundred ghosts passed by the human village at night just now.

"However, what did that person do, it shouldn't be possible for the Hyakki Night Walk to change direction because of the breath of the human.

After pondering for a long time, Qingkong still couldn't help but wonder.

At the same time, a system prompt appeared in front of Chen Ning's eyes.

[Successfully stop the Hundred Ghosts from traveling at night and gain Haoran Qi*100]

[Kill one Painted Pi Nu and obtain Haoran Qi*3]

Painted Pi Nu? The guy who deliberately lured the Hundred Ghosts to walk at night just now is actually not a human being?

Chen Ning frowned and said,

"Go and see, his body is still in place, maybe you can find some clues." Several

people quickly came to the bottom of the mountain and found the body that had just been pierced by a sword.

The moment the corpse could be seen, the complexion of the clear space suddenly changed.

Where is there a corpse on the ground? It was clearly just a hollow human skin with no flesh and blood!

" This is ...... Draw Pi Nu!"

Jingkong's face turned extremely pale in an instant, and the pupils of several little monks and nuns beside him couldn't help but shrink sharply.

"Do you know what Painted Skin Slaves are?"

"Well, they're a kind of humanoid puppet of Painted Skin Ghosts. "

Jingkong's gaze at this moment is even more solemn than when he saw the hundred ghosts walking at night.

"I also heard about it from my master.

Paintees are an extremely ancient type of ghosts that can transform into anyone by painting skins.

But the most fearsome thing is their strange ability to create painted pi slaves.

After killing people, they will strip them of their flesh and blood, leaving only an empty skin.

After only the skin is left, the painted skin slave will look exactly the same as when he was alive, and even the closest people will not be able to detect the difference.

But in reality, they have long been reduced to the eternal slaves of the Painted Skins, and will continue to mingle with the crowd as before, and kill more people silently, turning them into Painted Leather Slaves like themselves.

They may be living with anyone, it may be a friend, a loved one, or even a partner.

This is the real horror of the Paintskin.

Because once the existence of a painting is discovered, it means that there may be an unknown number of painting slaves.

No one knows how many of them there are, and even the ghosts who have been reduced to painted slaves may not realize that they are no longer human.

The clear space voice was already trembling slightly:

"I didn't expect this extremely rare ancient ghost creature to appear in us!

There have been many tragedies where entire villages or entire towns have been reduced to painted skin slaves, if the true body of the painted skin ghost is not discovered in time, I am afraid that the same tragedy will happen again!"

After listening, Chen Ning also realized the seriousness of the problem.

According to the clear space, the existence of the Painted Skin Ghost is like the source of the plague, and if it cannot be found, sooner or later it will spread at a terrifying speed.

When the time comes, from the common people to the government officials, I am afraid that huge towns may become empty ghost towns.

Chen Ning immediately opened the human skin, and found that the appearance of the skin was actually very familiar.

"This is...... Yang Si?

" "Brother Chen, do you know him?"

Seeing this, Jingkong hurriedly asked.

"Well, this person is the fourth eldest of the Yang family, and he has three older brothers in the family.

How about it? Can you find any clues based on this?"

Jingkong shook his head:

"The true body of the Painted Skin Ghost is often hidden very deeply, and there is a high probability that it is not even in Ning'an Village at all.

It is almost impossible to find him with just the skin of a painted pire.

However, the painted pires often do it first to their loved ones.

Since there is already one person, it is very likely that there is still a painting slave among the other three brothers of the Yang family.

If I can kill a few more painted skins and bring them back to the temple, my master may have a chance to deduce something based on these skins.

"Then let's go. "

Naturally, the sooner such a scourge is eradicated, the better.

......

By the time I returned to Ning'an Village, the sky had completely darkened unconsciously.

As Chen Ning knocked on the door, a roar suddenly came from the courtyard:

"It's so late, who is knocking on the door of Lao Tzu's house?"

"Chen Ning, why are you? Why are you coming to my house so late?"

The person who opened the door was Yang Da, and there was still anger on his face.

"I heard that someone in the village is missing, and I came to look for someone.

"The Yang family only has our four brothers living in it, what do you have to do with us?"

"What I'm looking for is your fourth brother."

As Chen Ning's voice fell, Yang Da's face suddenly froze.
