Chapter 57 Trapped Character

Now Zhao Kui is enjoying the incense and popularity.

As Zeng Jianqiu's body became thinner and thinner, and the veins under his neck could almost be seen, the black smoke on Zhao Kui's body condensed more tightly. The lingering smoke gradually turned into substance, protruding from under several pieces of skin, and finally turned into countless arms, with black mist flowing on them, containing a little golden light, which seemed to have some sacred meaning of immortals.

So Li Wuxiang squatted down beside Zhao Qi's body and stretched out his hand. The white beard on his palm immediately reached into his body and began to suck vigorously.

He couldn't help but open his mouth and let out a slight breath.

Now he knew the difference between practitioners and ordinary people.

When he ate the Wang family father and son, he was just filling his stomach, and the whole process was accompanied by a strong sense of discomfort and disgust for devouring his former self. Now he still has this feeling in his heart, but it is completely covered by another incomparable pleasure -

If the flesh and blood of the Wang family father and son were like randomly seasoned food that could only be swallowed to fill the stomach, then Zhao Qi's blood was like carefully cooked food that would not make people feel uncomfortable. Most of the impurities in the flesh and blood had been refined, and the spiritual energy that had not yet dissipated in the blood, once absorbed into his body, immediately filled his empty body and nourished his almost dried skin.

The long-lasting feeling of hunger disappeared instantly. For the first time, Li Wuxiang felt that he could be so strong and vigorous, and his life was so vivid. His skin became smooth and elastic again, and his mind was filled with great happiness and joy. He almost forgot where he was and when, and only wanted to take Zhao Qi——

Stop. He pulled his hand away.

The tentacles, which had turned bright red due to sucking so much blood, were reluctantly retracted into his palm, but he felt that it was enough for now.

He let this small pool of blood flow through the tentacles in his body and spread throughout his body, instead of letting the tentacles break it down and absorb it instinctively as usual. He told himself to imagine and believe that this was his own blood essence.

Then he opened his left hand, where there was a piece of Ranshan's talisman paper, which he had caught from Zhao Qi's arms in the air.

Zhao Kui has already admitted that what is magical about Ranshan's talisman technique is the talisman, not the technique. And before Zhao Qi arrived, Zeng Jianqiu had already taught him how to use spiritual power to write talismans.

With only these two things, the talisman may not be very strong. The talisman written by Zhao Qi almost failed to trap the ghost last night. But since Zhao Kui spent more than ten years to refine his own skin and was able to survive and grow in the flames, he is definitely not an ordinary painted skin ghost. These reasons are enough for him to gamble his life in this situation!

After the essence and blood flowed back to the fingers, only a bean-sized dot was left. Li Wuxiang spread out the talisman paper with his left hand, and used the bright red tentacles from the fingertips of his right hand as the tip of the pen, and began to write on the talisman paper.

Zhao Kui's bloodshot eyes caught sight of him and he immediately burst into laughter: "Little bastard, you are going to use what your master taught you to deal with your master again? You are the next one, you don't know how to live or die!"

The spiritual power flowed, and Li Wuxiang used his energy to write the first stroke on the talisman paper. The moment the blood touched the paper, he immediately felt a great resistance, as if there was something extremely heavy on the paper, pushing his fingers back... This should be a good thing, right? At least when Zhao Qi wrote the talisman, it didn't seem so difficult!

He finally gritted his teeth and wrote the first stroke. There was a buzzing in his head, and there seemed to be an indescribable feeling on the talisman paper, which made him feel as if he had created something extremely dangerous because of this stroke, and that would lose balance and overturn in the next moment!
In midair, Zhao Kui had almost solidified into a complete human form. The human skin that originally surrounded him had all adhered to his body surface and began to heal like the skin of a living person. Countless thin arms had retracted under his skin, and the golden light in the black mist was restrained, making him look like a person again. But around him, the air became slightly distorted as if it was evaporated by the high temperature of the ground, as if this courtyard could no longer bear something that should not appear in this world.

He grabbed Zeng Jianqiu with both hands, and then sucked hard. The muscles on Zeng Jianqiu's face suddenly relaxed, and the whole person became dazed and limp, unable to say a word. Zhao Kui fell to the ground and threw him aside: "It's tasteless, but it's not a pity to throw it away. You Jiuyuan? I want to go there too. I'll ask you later!"

He turned to look at Li Wuxiang and strode towards him. With every step he took, flames and smoke appeared under his feet. The ground shattered and the air vibrated. Countless faint figures appeared around him, as if every step was shattering the void and stepping directly into the underworld!

"You know the wonderful uses of this talisman paper, but you don't know that the uses are not infinite!" Zhao Kui started running after three steps, and the ground was creaking. "You are something I refined, don't I know your weight? You can trap demons and evil spirits, but can you trap me? Huh!?"

The last point fell, and with a push of spiritual power, a line of fire flashed in an instant. Zhao Kui was running in front of him and grabbed him with both arms!
The sharp fingertips suddenly stopped at Li Wuxiang's chest, and the face with exposed sharp teeth almost touched his face - but under Zhao Kui, a circle of gray lines with flickering stars trapped him, and an invisible barrier separated the two of them. The buzzing sound of prayer disappeared in an instant!
Li Wuxiang looked at Zhao Kui's bloodshot eyes and tilted his head expressionlessly: "Obviously, you don't know enough."

He stepped aside and quickly walked to Zeng Jianqiu's side. He lay on the ground with his eyes slightly open, like a prisoner who had been deprived of food and water for a long time. Li Wuxiang squatted down, put one hand on his wrist, and patted his face with the other hand: "Hey, are you still alive? I trapped him, how can I help you?"

Zeng Jianqiu opened his eyelids and looked at him, then uttered a few words with difficulty: "Run, to Youjiuyuan..."

"Besides this?"

Zeng Jianqiu looked at him for a long time: "Kill all... the people in the town... He is still here, his wish will not end... You can't trap him for long, if he comes out, he will come again-"

Li Wuxiang nodded: "I am an evil spirit, but not this evil. Is there nothing else?"

A gust of hot wind passed along the ground, stirring up a large cloud of dust!

Li Wuxiang immediately turned around to see that Zhao Kui, who was trapped in the gray line, was breathing violently. With each breath, billowing black smoke gushed out from his seven orifices, filling the entire space that trapped him, almost exactly the same as the evil ghost last night. Similarly, the black smoke was also pouring out from below, washing away a circle of fire lines that flickered and stirred up a lot of smoke and dust in the courtyard!

Zeng Jianqiu closed his eyes: "Go away, don't worry about me, you are alone——"

Li Wuxiang immediately stood up and disappeared into the cloud of dust that was raised by the fierce hot wind. Zeng Jianqiu was stunned for a moment, but he really didn't have the strength to say anything. He just closed his eyes and rested his head on the ground again. But before his consciousness became drowsy again, he saw a figure coming back from the dust and helped him up and opened his mouth. With the other hand raised, two round pills fell into his mouth: "This is the pill that Zhao Qi was reluctant to eat. It will restore your blood. Don't be so dead. Is there any other way? My skin can't carry you."

Zeng Jianqiu's throat moved, and two Fuyuan Baosheng pills fell into his stomach. After all, he had a foundation in cultivation. After only two breaths, although his body was still frighteningly thin, his eyes were shining: "He absorbed my vitality to transform and stay in the world for a long time. Monsters and spirits will lose their magical powers when they transform, but Zhao Kui has practiced swordsmanship for at least 60 years. When he escapes, he will still have a constant source of blessing from the power of the wish to leave. I am still..."

"That's what I'm asking." Li Wuxiang pulled him up. "You can hurt him if you change your form, right? Zhao Qi also said so. Okay, go and take Xue Baoping with you."

Zeng Jianqiu was stunned. Li Wuxiang pushed him and almost made him fall to the ground. "Or are you going to stay and fight him like this? I can't die. Go!"

“You…” Zeng Jianqiu nodded and staggered into the smoke and dust, “Okay, I will avenge you in the future!
Li Wuxiang walked back to Zhao Qi's body, and ordered his tentacles to penetrate and absorb his blood. He watched Zhao Kui silently howling to the sky and fireworks gushing out of his seven orifices. He sighed, "Can you say something auspicious?"

The next moment, the clear light of the ban dissipated, black smoke burst out suddenly, and then suddenly gathered inwards - Zhao Kui sucked it all into his mouth, a pair of black eyeballs rolled out of his blood-red eye sockets, and the sound seemed to be made by everyone in the town: "None of you can leave today!"

……

When Chen Xin and five garrison soldiers arrived at Xue's house, Xue Baoping was being questioned by Liu Jiao in the kitchen. Chen Xin walked in and saw the little girl sitting on a bench, her face slightly lowered, her fingers grasping the hem of her skirt. He glanced at Liu Jiao, who shook her head at him, "This child refuses to speak."

Although he was prepared, Chen Xin's heart still jumped slightly. He walked to stand beside Liu Jiao and looked at Xue Baoping for a few times: "Little girl, I won't say anything more. In today's world, I have never heard of a family like yours that can take root in the town for three generations within hundreds of miles. No matter what, the town has done a favor to your family."

"Uncle will not hide it from you. The Zeng Jianqiu you captured was my former master. I am going to rescue him now. I will not ask you who this young man in your family is. I will only ask you if you know that he is not Li Jiye. If you don't know, it is not your fault. But if you know and refuse to tell me now, uncle will have no choice but to arrest you as well."

When Xue Baoping heard the word "Master", he couldn't help but look up for a moment, then whispered: "He... Li Wuxiang he, he, he..."

Liu Jiao said softly, "Tell me slowly. We don't blame you for not knowing about this before. The young man's name is Li Wuxiang, right?"

Xue Baoping nodded and took a deep breath: "Li Wuxiang is... a good person, Zeng Jianqiu is not a bad person, Zhao, Zhao, Zhao Qi are bad people..."

Chen Xin's heart suddenly jumped - this is right!
The reason why he came to ask about the situation first was because he had seen his master's skills before, and the injuries he saw on his body before were nothing at all! He talked to him, but he ignored him, so Chen Xin was a little more certain in his heart: his master was pretending to be weak, otherwise, let alone a young man who had practiced martial arts for several years, even a few big men would not be able to catch him!

"Did my master deliberately ask you to capture Li Wuxiang? Did he say what he wanted to do?"

Xue Baoping clenched the corner of his clothes. Last night, Li Wuxiang told him that he couldn't tell Chen Xin about this for the time being, because he was afraid that he would believe Zhao Qi. But now that Chen Xin was on his side, should he tell him? If he told him, would he do something bad as Li Wuxiang worried?

She took a deep breath and raised her head: "What are he, he, they doing now?"

Chen Xin breathed a sigh of relief: "They..."

At that time, I heard Chen Xiu shouting: "Dad, Mom, he's awake, he's so hungry!"

Chen Xiu walked out of the main room quickly, holding a wet handkerchief in her hand: "Li Jiye is so hungry that he is talking nonsense. He asked the Kitchen God to give him something to eat. I was thinking...ah, Dad, Mom, I am hungry too..."

Chen Xinyi frowned: "Hey, what time is it now, you... um, yes, what time is it? Is it time to eat?"

He was slightly startled, sniffed and said, "Your kitchen smells really good... Little girl, what did you cook? Why does it smell so good? Can you smell it?"

He looked at Liu Jiao - Liu Jiao's eyes also sparkled. She bent over to the big pot on the stove and sniffed it. Then she placed her hands on the edge of the pot, buried her head in the empty pot, and took a long breath: "Yes... Boss, it smells good... Xiu Xiu, come and smell it too, it smells good..."

Chen Xin hurried over, and Chen Xiu threw himself beside him almost at the same time. The three of them surrounded the big pot on the stove, buried their heads deeply in it, and shrugged their shoulders, rushing to inhale.

At this time, several soldiers who were originally guarding outside the door ran in: "Master, there is a glow in our yard outside, colorful and scary, Master--"

They saw the big pot in the kitchen and swallowed their words. They also smelled the aroma... It was hard to tell what it was, it seemed a little smoky, but it made their stomachs growl. Their eyes suddenly widened and their mouths opened, saliva even dripping down their teeth: "Master, we are hungry too, what are you eating..."

Xue Baoping stood up from the bench all of a sudden, feeling numb all over - the five garrison soldiers and the three members of the Chen family all came to the edge of the pot, buried their heads in it and breathed in. After breathing for a while, she heard their hungry stomachs growling, and also heard a crackling sound at the bottom of the pot... They were digging at the bottom of the pot like wild beasts, as if they wanted to dig out something!
In the short time it took her to get up, the eight people in the room could no longer speak clearly. They dug in the pot for a while but couldn't find anything, so they got anxious. Chen Xiu was squeezed to the ground by several people, with her face facing the stove. She put her face into the bottom of the pot and took a deep breath of the smoke, and immediately shouted: "It smells so good, it smells so good, it's given to me by the Kitchen God, it's given to me by the Kitchen God!"

When the few people who were still scratching the bottom of the pot heard her call, they immediately started to chant incoherently, "Kitchen God", "Kitchen God" - they seemed to have lost their minds and were left with only instinct. Unable to suck the air through the iron pot, they angrily grabbed the edge of the iron pot and pulled it hard. With a bang, the iron pot was flipped aside!
In just the blink of an eye... they all no longer look like human beings!
Xue Baoping felt numb from the back of her head to the soles of her feet, and tried to move to the door slowly and quietly to rush out. But when she looked outside, in the direction of the Chen family mansion, the colorful clouds in the sky were turning into a large cloud of fire, followed by a sudden buzzing sound - the sound of eight people in the kitchen chanting "Grandpa Kitchen God", and the sound of other places in the town, buzzing in her ears, making her dizzy, and she held on to the door with a snap.

The eight people in the kitchen suddenly raised their heads and stared at her in unison!
She immediately tightened the talisman paper that Zhao Qi gave her—and her eyes went dark!
　Today I have merged two chapters into one. If I separate them, you will scold me again.
