The cat who wears Jackie Chan

Not far away, Le Yuan saw blood splattered on a section of gray wall by the side of the road.

Not yet completely solidified, the black and red blood line slowly dripped down, indicating that it was not long after it was splashed, and it was shocking to watch.

... who died?

After taking another look, Le Yuan found two inconspicuous fingerprints near the pool of blood.

Bloody fingers touched the wall.

Is it the dead, or... the "murderer"?

It's useless to think too much, Le Yuan quickened his pace while keeping an eye on his surroundings.

If there is a ferocious hunter who has just killed someone in the dense fog, pray that you will not run into it, and the owner will not run into it... In case it is really unfortunate, I can only rely on the charm halo stacked all over my body to try to keep up with it. He communicated, persuaded him to put down the butcher knife, and even wooed him into our camp.

Speaking of which, where did the owner go?

After seeing the direction, Le Yuan followed his memory and walked towards the small river passing through the city.

Instead of searching for a needle in a haystack in such a big city, why not go to the old woman who does laundry by the river first and ask for news.

She pointed me and the owner to a cloth shop that can cover the breath of a living person. She should be a kind person.

After walking for a while, I didn't meet a few passers-by. The sparkling water came into view, and the sound of washing clothes came from the river.

The gray-haired old woman sat on the stone steps by the river, scrubbing and muttering in a low voice: "Damn it, it's dirty after washing."

Uh... Le Yuan stood behind her, looking at the eyes drawn with ink on the paper figurine. The eyeballs and eye sockets were washed away, and they became blank. Even the nose and mouth were blurred and blurred.

Sensing movement, the old woman turned her head, paused on the word "Ghost King" on Le Yuan's chest, and said, "Son, what's the matter?"

"Old man, I am new here and I want to ask you about the situation in the city." Le Yuan was very polite.

Although this old woman seems not simple, she is not a simple cat either!Don't panic at all.

"I've lived in this city for many years." The old lady's wrinkled face stretched out, and she smiled kindly at Chao Leyuan, "You asked me, but you found the right person."

Le Yuan simply sat down beside the old woman, listened to her rambling talk, and asked a few more questions from time to time.

It turned out that this place was not a ghost town at first, but the territory of the Tiger Demon Clan and its subordinate ghosts. She was one of the first few paper figurines to live in the city.

Seeing Le Yuan glanced at the paper figurine soaked in the water, the old woman said cheerfully: "This is my wife. She was with me during her lifetime. After she died, she went to the city with me. It can be regarded as being a husband and wife for two lifetimes. The big problem is also No, I just don't like cleanliness, my eyes are restless, and I like to glance at young girls."

...So he looked at other little girls a few more times, and you think he is dirty, wash it and ask the paper doll master to draw a pair of eyes again, right?

"Old man, I want to go out, how can I get out of the city?" Le Yuan asked again.

"Many living people have entered the city by mistake over the years, and in the end they were led by ghosts to be eaten by tiger demons. They couldn't get out." The old woman thought for a while, "You can ask Boss Chen for help, and ask him again. ask?"

"Boss Chen, is he the master of paper figurines?" Le Yuan remembered that the owner of the paper figurine stall was named Chen in the notes of the lantern bearer.

"That's right. The paper figurines in the city are all shells made by him. I just want to go to him to redraw a pair of eyes for the dead ghost. Let's go along the way." The old woman rubbed it twice, and then Fished the soaked paper figurines ashore, folded them up and stuffed them into a bamboo basket.

"Boss Chen has no shadow, is he a ghost?"

"I heard that he used to practice Taoism, and he was very capable. Once he was accidentally eaten by a tiger demon. All the other ghosts obeyed the orders of the tiger demon, but he didn't. He tied up many paper figurines and put them in the city. To keep him company." The old woman said tremblingly, "Are you still going?"

"go."

The old woman carried a bamboo basket and walked with Le Yuan in the city.

A ray of singing suddenly floated in the mist, intermittent and resentful.

"Sun Jianizi is singing again," the old woman sighed. "She will get married tomorrow, and she will never forget her little lover. Alas, Yin and Yang are separated. What's the use of not accepting fate?"

Is this the song you heard when you first entered the city?When the old lady said it, she didn't feel weird anymore.

But get married?Is there such a thing as marriage in ghost towns?

Not long after, they came to the night market street.There are few pedestrians, many stalls are empty, and the shops are also closed, which is no longer as lively as before.

The old man who sells paper figurines is sitting behind the booth, drawing something with his brush like flying.

"Boss Chen, I'm sorry." The old woman handed over the bamboo basket containing the wet paper figurines.

"Leave it alone, I'm busy, I'll draw for you when I'm done." The old man said without raising his head.

Le Yuan took a closer look, and what he drew in his hand was a big red sedan chair, with gold lines depicting red phoenixes, sunrise and flowers blooming in prosperity, like the sedan chairs in TV dramas.

After waiting for a while, Boss Chen raised his head and stretched his wrist.He was not surprised to see Le Yuan: "You didn't come to buy paper figurines, did you? That friend of yours said that I draw weird faces."

Yo, do you hold a grudge?

"I want to leave the city," Le Yuan said directly, "Is there a way for Boss Chen?"

"You can't go out if you walk. You have to wait for the white mist to clear."

"When will the white fog dissipate?"

"This fog came out when the city noticed the intrusion of living people. When there were no more living people, it would naturally disperse."

...It doesn't mean you didn't say anything!

"Would it be possible to cover up the smell of a living person by wearing the clothes bought from the cloth shop?"

In addition to me and the owner, there are several other Taoist and Jianzong disciples including Yu Mengsong in the city. If they all wear paper clothes...

"You cat monster, you're still a bit clever." Boss Chen shook his head, "It's a pity that this paper clothes can at most deceive ghosts on the road and tiger monsters with little ability, but can't fool the leader of the tiger clan who governs the ghost city. As long as he If your eyes are still on you, there is no way you can get out of this ghost town."

"...You mean, don't you encourage me to change the city lord?"

"Hey," Boss Chen smiled, "I didn't say that."

"It's not impossible to discuss. Boss, if you have any ideas, let's talk about it. Maybe my...friend and I can really do it."

Regardless of whether it can be done or not, let's fool around first.

Le Yuan doesn't have a clue yet, and plans to collect more information from the natives in the city.

Boss Chen took a serious look at Le Yuan, seeing that his expression was determined, he didn't look like he was talking nonsense, he sighed and said, "The master of the ghost city is definitely not easy to deal with. I have been in the city for many years, and I can barely accept him. control."

Once the chatterbox was opened, Boss Chen revealed everything.

He made many paper figurines to attract nearby wandering spirits, also to gather strength, find opportunities to overthrow the city lord, and no longer be reduced to being a ghost at his mercy.But the wandering spirits summoned had their own ideas and did not obey his orders.

The power of the tiger demon is determined by the number of ghosts in charge.If all the paper figurines in the city can be twisted into a single rope, and the ghosts and low-level tiger demons can be eliminated, then there is a chance of defeating the Lord of the Ghost City.

However, Boss Chen has never done this for so many years.

The paper people active in the city are all wandering souls who are forced to stay in the world without entering reincarnation, and they all have their own ideas.How many people are willing to do such a dangerous thing as fighting a tiger demon with a paper man's body?

Fine.Hearing this, Le Yuan understood that the future self has applied a lot of charm buffs, which are used here!It is for me to come forward and unite everyone!

"Why, you seem to be a little moved?" Boss Chen said, "This matter still needs to be planned slowly, so don't be in a hurry. The city is full of dangers recently. Since you want to walk around, take this thing."

He handed Le Yuan a palm-sized paper figurine.Unlike other paper figurines, which are colorful and colorful, only the facial features are drawn with a few simple strokes, and a bright red dot is dotted on the position of the heart on the chest.

Holding it in the hand, the bright red "heart" of the little paper figurine seemed to be still beating, transmitting waves of rhythmic vibrations to the fingers.

Without waiting for Le Yuan to ask questions, Boss Chen explained: "This is a dead paper figurine, which can withstand a fatal injury for you. This thing is precious, and it takes a lot of spiritual power to make one. I never take it out easily. It can also be used as a My token, it shows that you are a noble person I trust."

"Thank you, boss." Le Yuan put it away unceremoniously, "You said that being a dead paper man would consume spiritual energy? Can you still use spiritual energy now?"

"I have become a ghost, and the spiritual power in my life has long since dissipated, so of course I can't use it." Boss Chen smiled wryly, "It was all made with the help of the spiritual power contained in the spirit stone. This is a ghost town after all. If you want to obtain the spirit stone, It's not easy either."

"So that's the case, then you take it."

Le Yuan readily handed over one hundred Lingshi to Boss Chen, treating it as sponsorship funds for his mayor campaign.

After all this, the current situation has become that the old city lord must be overthrown and a new one will come to power.

Rebel, yes!

"Just wait, you paper figurines will have the final say in this ghost city in the future. At that time, you have to keep your word, disperse the white mist, and let the living people out!"

When Le Yuan said this, the charismatic halo of "everyone loves", "flowers bloom", "everyone admires", "turtles love"—ah no, it's "ghosts love" seems to be glowing .

Although in the eyes of Boss Chen and the old lady, it was just a kind of inexplicable self-confidence——

But it is really dazzling!People can't help but be moved by his sincerity and enthusiasm when they take a look at him.

This young man has a firm mind, dares to think and do, and will become a great weapon in the future!

Boss Chen couldn't help feeling a little emotional in his heart.

"Don't worry, I will keep my word. It's useless to me to keep someone alive."

As Boss Chen said, he picked up the paper sedan chair with the dry ink on it: "Please do me a little favor, take the sedan chair to the Sun's house, and you can chat with the Sun's family. It's not far from the ghost town." Far away, there is Sun Family Village in Yangjian, many wandering souls summoned by the paper figurines are all named Sun, and they are also a big clan in the city. If we can convince them, we will be one step closer to our goal."

"Okay." Le Yuan put away the paper sedan chair.

"I'll also go to Sun's house to have a look. When they get married tomorrow, they will have to ask for help." The old woman said kindly.

"Be careful on the road," Boss Chen urged again, "I heard that there is a murderer wandering in the city right now!"

Murderer?Le Yuan immediately thought of the lantern bearer who wrote the notes, but the lantern bearer was already cold, and the corpse was still with Yu Mengsong.

Or was it that the big pool of blood splattered on the wall when he just went out was left by the murderer?

"It's okay, I'm not afraid of him," Le Yuan patted his chest with a smile, and two large characters appeared on it, "I'm the king of ghosts!"

The king of ghosts in this ghost town!

Boss Chen didn't say anything, and waved to him to bid him farewell.

After Le Yuan left, he muttered in a low voice: "But that murderer, nicknamed ghost messenger..."

As we all know, ghost messengers catch ghosts, including ghost kings.
