Chapter 16 Painted Skin
Chapter 16 Painted Skin
Wang Wu was even stronger than his father. After a scream was muffled in his mouth, he struggled backwards while tearing the white beard on his face with both hands, and he actually broke free. But the entire skin on his face was torn off, leaving only a bloody face. His eyes were almost blind, and he screamed like a headless fly and turned around in the room. He bumped into the wall with a thud, couldn't find the door, and then stumbled straight to the east room.
At this time, Li Wuxiang peeled off from Wang Peng's body. The white beards that had absorbed enough blood became thicker and denser. His half skin spread out, the tentacles danced, and in an instant he flew into the air, chasing after Wang Wu.
At this time, Wang Wu fell into the east room. He did not look for any other self-defense tools, but groped towards the wall on the side of the gable. When he touched a niche, he immediately screamed: "Kitchen God, Kitchen God, help me!"
Li Wuxiang also rushed into the house at this time and saw the "Kitchen God" in the niche.
Xue Baoping's family also worships the Kitchen God, but it is just a piece of yellowed paper due to time and smoke, and the image on it is blurred. The one in the niche of Wang Wu's house is a small gold-plated statue. A little man is sitting in the niche with a round and fat head. His eyes are slightly closed, as if he is resting, but his mouth is grinning to his ears, and there are fine fangs in his mouth, which looks incompatible with his golden body and is very strange.
At this time, Wang Wu grabbed the Kitchen God statue with his bloody hands, held it with both hands, leaned his back against the wall and shook it towards Li Wuxiang: "Kitchen God, save me! Kitchen God, save me! Evil spirit, evil spirit!"
Li Wuxiang had no eyes, and everything he saw was through his white beard, which made his vision blurry. When he looked at the surrounding scenery, it seemed as if everything was hidden in the thick fog. But now when he looked at the statue in Wang Wu's hand, he felt that it was unusually clear, and the blood of Wang Wu on it seemed to gradually spread on it, and then turned into a red mist around it, as if it had become its cloak.
Li Wuxiang was slightly startled and did not dare to pounce on him immediately. The next moment, he seemed to see the Kitchen God's eyes, which were originally slightly closed, suddenly opened and glared at him!
Palpitations! He felt familiar palpitations... just like the first time he felt the external evil in his body, an indescribable emptiness and grandeur!
Is this thing really useful? Is it a miracle?! Or is it some kind of external evil?
However, the next moment, this momentary feeling disappeared, and the Kitchen God in Wang Wu's hand turned into a small gilded statue again, as hazy and blurred as the surrounding objects. Li Wuxiang no longer thought about why, and immediately pounced on Wang Wu.
The muddy sliding sound sounded again, and after a quarter of an hour, a figure slowly stood up on the window paper illuminated by the oil lamp. He raised his hand and touched his face, then with a slight crackling sound, he tore off his head, rubbed it gently in his hand, and dipped some black ash from the oil lamp to carefully draw.
Finally, the head was put back on and Li Wuxiang in the room breathed a sigh of relief.
He once again had a human-like body, although it only "looked" like one. Before this, his perception of his own skin was very dull, as if his entire body was numb, and he could only barely control it, but could not do many fine movements. Now that the blood and flesh of two people had fed it, Li Wuxiang even felt a slight but clear pain, and could also control the copper net to extend and grow, reconstructing it into the lower body, and instinctively bulging into an exoskeleton hidden under the leather clothes. Dense white tentacles filled the empty eye sockets, and instinctively merged into two eyeballs. If you didn't look closely, they were no different from ordinary people. Then he asked many white beards to pass through the top of his head, and he had a full head of white hair again.
Li Wuxiang searched the Wang family's house naked for a while, found a set of clothes for himself, and hastily tied his hair. He thought he would not scare the little girl like before. Then he found a piece of cloth and packed all the gold and silver treasures he could find and some dried bacon. He tied all the hunting tools that the father and son had just brought with them on their backs, blew out the oil lamp, set up the statue of the Kitchen God, straightened the table and chairs, and immediately went out.
He was still a little shaky, and took a long time to walk to the wall. "Hey!"
The little girl responded almost immediately: "Ah..." As if she was afraid that her voice was too soft, she threw another small stone in.
"Move aside, or it will hit you." Li Wuxiang heard two rustling sounds outside, and threw the bag containing gold, silver, and dried meat over. Then he found a wooden block in the yard, moved it to the wall, stood on it, and raised the heavy and long hunting fork to the top of the wall. When it dropped, he let go, and the hunting fork fell down and stuck into the soil, making only a slight thump. He then took the rest of the tools out according to the law, and then he climbed up the wall little by little. He saw Xue Baoping with his eyes wide open and his face up, he must be very nervous.
Even though he had killed three evil men, it was not a pleasant experience to have their essence and blood sucked and their flesh and bones corroded. However, sitting here now, Li Wuxiang saw a deep and vast darkness, a quiet town, and thin clouds above his head that were slightly fluorescent under the moonlight. He knew that he had finally gotten rid of the cage that had been hidden in the stove. Although this world was not friendly or warm at all, it was a real and vast world after all, and it had not been destroyed.
He also had a somewhat decent body again, which meant that as long as he was careful enough, he would have more time to figure out what was happening to him and master the magical power he now possessed that did not exist in the world he came from.
This made him feel better, so he sat on the wall and smiled: "So, do you think I look like a demon or a human now?"
At this moment, the thin clouds in the sky dispersed for a moment, and the moonlight shone on him. Xue Baoping could see his face clearly, and at this moment he felt his heart skip a beat.
She still remembered the terrifying and strange appearance of Li Wuxiang not long ago, but now she saw a thin and skinny figure sitting on the wall, against the moonlight, a boy about her age. And his face, the face gently brushed by a few strands of white hair hanging from his forehead...
She felt that she had never seen such beautiful things and scenes.
She exhaled lightly, not realizing that her heart had become light and warm, and her throat had become relaxed and unobstructed: "I feel like you are a god."
Li Wuxiang jumped down from the wall, landed lightly on the ground, and smiled at her: "Then let's go home."
The second update will be at eight in the morning.
