NOVEL NEXT Chapter 35 Painted Skin Drama
The prosperous Jingan City is different from the closed military fortress.
There are various professions and crafts here. If Zhou Yuan is willing to spend more time, he may not be able to master a few skills.
But he paid more attention to the widely circulated Buddhist and Taoist classics and the self-contained medical classics.
Compared with medical theories that require earnest teachings, Buddhist and Taoist classics with the purpose of preaching are easier to obtain.
Zhou Yuan only spent 320 money to gain the power to view the Jingyi Divine Curse.
He didn't know that the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism had left some traces of truth in these so-called fundamental Dharma books, but he didn't mind giving it a try.
Interestingly, in addition to the "Songhe Sutra of Immortality" and the "Dajin Yaoming King Sutra", Zhou Yuan also discovered a book of mountains and seas that explains the heaven and earth.
The first sentence at the beginning of the book is: The Hongmeng has just opened, the world is clear, the world is clear, all the phenomena are hidden, exotic herbs and elixirs are everywhere, and demons and ghosts are invisible.
This poem may seem to be mysterious, but it really introduces some phenomena of the world. People who know the world can understand it at a glance, and people who don't know the truth can also see some secrets in it.
The fact that this book can be printed means that the Wei Dynasty court was open to the existence of the secret realm of heaven and earth, at least to the literate community.
"Isn't this a sign of confidence? It shows courage without hiding anything."
When he first got a book like "Shan Hai Zhi Zhi" that introduced strange geography, Zhou Yuan couldn't help but stay up late to study it.
The person who woke him up the next day was not the innkeeper or a malicious ghost, but the military commander Ma Cai Cheng.
"Brother Cai, why are you here, but you want to treat me to a drink?"
"Well! Well, Zhou Yuan, you are a guest here, but you still want me to invite you."
The two of them joked a few words, then walked to the tea table and sat down.
Zhou Yuan knew that Cai Cheng would not go to the inn without any reason.
This visit was even meant to investigate and follow up. Cai Cheng would not be so reckless if nothing serious happened.
"Brother, something happened at my wife's house. I'm going to bring my own soldiers over to have a look. I hope you can help with your magic shots."
"You and I are brothers Pao Ze, so there is no need to say more.
But I would like Brother Cai to explain the cause of the incident, so that we can determine the enemy's status. "
"That's right. My wife is the daughter of the Zhang family, a wealthy family in the city. She has a sister named Manning, who is graceful, gentle and beautiful.
The child was beautiful, charming, and very sensible. He was loved by relatives and friends. "
"Last night, Manning suddenly had a convulsion and fell into coma, and woke up at around 9:00 in the morning.
Later, she told her family that she saw resentful ghosts in her dream eating her flesh and skin and peeling off her skin. She was in unbearable pain and begged her parents for help.
The Zhang family originally thought it was just a nightmare, but they didn't expect Manning to fall into a coma again, whining and moaning constantly, saying "Mom, it hurts, Dad, please help me." "
"What parent has seen such a tragedy? My father-in-law and mother-in-law almost lost their livers and intestines, so I had to go and have a look.
Cai Cheng sincerely asks brothers to go with us. If it is a visible demon, we will try our swords and arrows. If it is an invisible demon, I will return to the camp to respectfully invite the captain. "
Cai Cheng's words made Zhou Yuan feel like it was a coincidence, too much of a coincidence.
He just killed four painted scoundrels yesterday, and today he encountered something ghostly at his friend's house.
Moreover, Cai Cheng's sister-in-law happens to be as beautiful as a flower and needs the help of a young soldier like him to rescue her.
"There's something. I don't know if this medicine is a hero saving a beauty, or whether it's love at first sight. It's better to save someone from harm than to be deceived by a ghost."
Zhou Yuan thought for a moment, then stood up and left with Cai Cheng.
Now he is not afraid of being surrounded by painters. Isn't he just a painter? He is no different from anyone else.
After irritating him, he directly used the prop [Painted Skin Scoundrel] to sneak into them and see what they planned.
Military commanders Ma Caicheng and Jing'an were in Zhou Yuan's capital, and they had ten powerful soldiers.
After the group of people took swords, guns, shields, leather armor, bows and arrows from the Army Sima Mansion, they went straight to Zhang Mansion in Chunrongfang in the east of the city.
Before leaving, Cai Cheng's wife also wanted to go with her to visit her sister, but Cai Cheng sternly refused.
In addition, the old lady who said she was fasting and chanting Buddha also appeared and told Cai Cheng to be careful and not to show off.
The scene of a painted-skinned ghost admonishing an officer who has to deal with a ghost problem is really weird.
"Don't worry, mother. My brothers and I will try our best. If it doesn't work, we will report it to the superior."
Zhou Yuan saw that when the painted-skinned old woman heard the words ‘report to Shangguan’, her skinny palms suddenly trembled several times.
This is because of fear, so why did Cai Cheng get involved.
The Zhang Mansion in Chunrongfang in the east of Jing'an City is larger than Cai Cheng's Army Sima Mansion, and the number of servants that come and go far exceeds that of Cai Cheng's mansion.
But these are not important, what is important is the monster identity information that appears from time to time.
[Level 5 Painted Skin Maid], [Level 6 Painted Skin Butler], [Level 8 Painted Skin Young Master]
"The uncle is here. Quickly lead the way and let the uncle see if there are any demons causing trouble in the house."
The common people couldn't tell the difference between the soldiers of the Divine Arm Black Armor and the warriors. The people in charge of the Zhang Mansion probably could, but they still pinned their hopes on Cai Cheng.
"Cheng'er, come and see Manning, you must save her.
As long as my son can be saved, I am willing to donate my gold and silver to the army. "
Cai Cheng's father-in-law was obviously anxious and promised a generous reward before he even started working.
After stepping through a door, Zhou Yuan and the ten soldiers' eyes widened, but the reasons for their surprise were different.
The ten soldiers saw Zhang Manning's beauty, and that beautiful and sad figure that I felt pity for.
Zhou Yuan was surprised to see an elite monster with a name [Level 15 Painted Skin Manning].
"Cheng'er, did you see something?"
Before Master Zhang finished speaking, three shadows emerged from under the bed of Painted Skin Manning, [Level 5 Yin Spirits].
They waved their hands and pulled Painted Skin Manning's body, causing Painted Skin Manning to groan weakly.
"This skin is good, don't fight with me, it's mine."
"Nonsense, I found it, get out of here."
"Don't tear my skin, or I'll kill you two."
The three Yin Spirits fought and restrained each other, creating the illusion that they could not peel off the human skin temporarily.
Cai Cheng and the ten soldiers naturally could not see the Yin Spirits, nor could they hear the Yin Spirits' words similar to soul fluctuations.
At this moment, all the hidden Painted Skins in Zhang's mansion, including the Painted Skin Manning who pretended to be unconscious, were waiting for Zhou Yuan to take action.
"Hurry up, didn't you see the ghosts whose skin was broken yesterday? Hurry up and take care of those ghosts."
"A beautiful woman was persecuted by evil ghosts, and the evil ghosts wanted to peel off her skin.
I can't stand this, but he was indifferent. Is he a human being?"
"This is a court spy with a heart as hard as iron. Change to Plan B."
After a few Painted Skins talked, [Level 8 Painted Skin Young Master] seemed to suddenly remember something and rushed to Cai Cheng.
"Brother-in-law, don't you have the spiritual liquid given by the captain? Take it out and try it, maybe you can see something."
Cai Cheng didn't think much about it and casually pulled a pendant from his neck.
It was a small copper pot as thin as a finger joint. He unscrewed the copper pot mouth and dripped two drops of green liquid into his eyes.
"There really is a ghost haunting the place. Zhou Yuan will take the medicine."
