Chapter 33 Discovering the Wonderful Point
After resting for a while, Ruan Xing prepared two more deerskins according to the same method, and finally completed the three [御] character spells.
The wild boar blood that Hu San bought was almost used up.
Everything was ready. Ruan Xing thought about the direction and decided to start with the assistant of the Xun'an Division.
The Patrol Security Division is an armed force department, so the top deputy magistrate certainly cannot be a weak scholar. However, the fact that he died suddenly in the street shows that the old man definitely did not use a spell, but most likely a [Break] character spell, so the old man must have appeared near the deputy magistrate on that day.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. The old man ambushed the assistant, and she ambushed the old man. They did not affect each other.
[Simulating]
When you were six years old, you and Hu San put on deerskin talismans and followed a patrol officer from the Patrol Security Bureau. When you were walking on a street, a talisman suddenly shot out from the second floor of a house on the street and hit the officer on horseback in an instant. The latter died on the spot. You and Hu San caught up with him to the second floor according to the direction of the parabola. After a fight, you were finally defeated and died.
[End of simulation]
Hmm? That shouldn't be the case. In Ruan Xing's estimation, she could at most be seriously injured, and she would definitely be able to defeat the two old men. What Ruan Xing was most worried about was the unpredictable pure white boy. With the deerskin talisman, even if the boy suddenly appeared behind her, she would not be afraid of being killed by his true energy.
She quickly selected the memory to see what was going on.
As she remembered, she and Hu San had just caught up to the second floor when they were stopped by the pure white boy. Ruan Xing took out chili powder and sprinkled it all over his head and face, but the other party did not react at all, and it did not affect his fighting ability at all. With the power of the deerskin talisman, she used a [疾] character to break through the boy's defense, and let Hu San entangle the boy, while she rushed to the back to kill the old man first.
However, a scene that shocked Ruan Xing appeared. There was a yellow triangular flag hanging on the old man's waist. He waved his hand and shot a [break] character towards Ruan Xing, while taking out a flagpole with one hand and waving it in front of him.
The character [Break] broke Ruan Xing's deerskin talisman, but did not hurt her. She was just thrown to the ground in a very embarrassing way by the impact force. The old man was a little surprised to see this result. He was stunned for only a second and then continued to wave the flag. Ruan Xing felt as if she was in a wide-mouthed beaker, being stirred constantly by a glass rod. The huge centrifugal force gave her an illusion similar to plasmolysis.
The memory ends.
Ruan Xing rubbed his eyebrows and cursed inwardly, wondering if this old guy was a genius? How could he come up with such a weird thing?
The flag is a magical weapon in the Netherworld Ghost Records. Its specific function is to absorb human souls, and the more souls it absorbs, the more powerful it becomes. It is a magical weapon that can grow.
Of course, it also has a terrifying name, the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls.
There haven't been any large-scale deaths in Jiangning City in the past decade. The one in the old man's hand is probably just in the embryonic stage, with at most a few souls in it. It's not very powerful, but it's still a chasm that Ruan Xing cannot cross.
Because she is still just a mortal and has no means to protect her soul.
In the previous simulations, Ruan Xing had never seen the old man use a flag. It might be because he was at home and didn't put the flag next to him. After all, the souls in the flag were probably the innocent children he had killed before. He had no cultivation and was afraid of backlash if he got too close. Ruan Xing thought about it and decided that she could only rely on sneak attacks and not let the old man focus on her. This way, she would have a chance to kill him before he could react.
Fortunately, she had made an extra deerskin talisman as a replacement just in case, and it came in handy at this moment.
[Simulating]
When he was six years old, you lent a deerskin talisman to Mr. Liu and asked him to find a chance to put it on the deputy officer before going on patrol. You and Hu San also put on the deerskin talismans and quietly ambushed on the first floor of a store on the street. After the deputy officer was hit by the talisman, he did not die because he was wearing the deerskin talisman close to his body. His guards saw that something was wrong and surrounded him to protect him in the center. Suddenly, a pure white boy appeared next to a guard. With a wave of his hand, a white incantation harvested a life. Seeing that the guards were completely unable to resist the boy You let Hu San sneak in to help, while you sit still and watch the situation develop. The old man finally appears at the window and starts waving a flag. You bounce up, jump to the second floor, and shoot out five [break] characters from each hand, activating them with your true energy. Under the old man's horrified gaze, the talisman hits his body and destroys his clothes. The old man starts to fight back at you, but because the distance is too close, your deerskin talisman is quickly broken by the old man. You throw the talismans in your hand out like they are free, but suddenly a white light flashes, and you are dead.
[End of simulation]
Selecting the memory again, Ruan Xing checked it frame by frame. This time, because the assistant was not dead, the pure white boy was led away from the beginning and was not with the old man. Unfortunately, the group of Lingwei had never seen the boy's flashing means and were completely unable to cope with it. Her own sneak attack only broke the [御] character spell on the old man. Just when the two were about to die together, the boy returned and appeared behind her.
There's no way. You can't break the moves taught by the same master. She and the old man learned from the same secret book, and the old man has studied it for many more years than her.
Anyway, she already knew which store the old man was ambushing in, so why not go there and poison him in advance?
Ruan Xing simulated again, but was soon discouraged. The old man himself was a research maniac who had been refining medicine for many years. All kinds of poisons in her hand were made by the old man. No matter what kind of poison she used, the old man would quickly discover it and find her vigilantly.
However, there was a point in the memories of these simulations that made Ruan Xing very concerned. That was when the boy came back from downstairs to support the old man, Hu San shouted "Miss, be careful!" in a hurry to remind Ruan Xing.
However, it was this sound that froze the young man in place, and the true energy that had killed Ruan Xing many times was rarely activated.
She suddenly had a bold idea.
Could this young man be Hu Si?
Although Hu Si looks weak and delicate, completely different from Hu San, he can be controlled by Hu San's voice, so they must be related.
As for why Hu San didn't recognize him... Hu Si's current appearance is completely snow-white, and the white color reflects light. Not to mention that he often uses ghost escape to become invisible, even if he is not invisible, others can't see what he looks like.
As for whether it is true or not, Ruan Xing will know after trying it. If this method is really useful, then Hu San has helped her a lot.
And she suddenly remembered that the chili powder tactic would not work on the boy. Although the boy was a puppet, he still needed eyes to see things. He was not afraid of chili powder. Maybe the white spherical object in the eye socket was not an eye at all.
What could it be? His puppet nature?
