When Hou Siniang said that her soul was about to leave her body, and a man in black appeared across from her, she visibly trembled.
"But a man with black hair, black beard, and black robe?"
Cheng Yu asked.
"What the gentleman said is absolutely true. It was a man with black hair and black robes. Nu Yurujian was about to float straight up, but he directly threw two pitch black scales the size of the mouth of a bowl. The scales seemed to have no resistance in the water.
, in the blink of an eye...it became like this wrapped around both of our bodies."
When Hou Siniang said this, she lowered her head and looked at the dark scales all over her body. She put her hands on the ground, unwilling to touch her body as if she was disgusted.
"In other words, the black gauze and curtain hat you wore just now were all transformed from these pitch-black scales. Is this the only way you can walk under the rising sun in the body of a dead soul?"
Cheng Yu frowned and asked.
Hou Siniang's face was covered with scales at this moment. Two lines of clear tears fell from her only exposed eyes and ran across the scales. She nodded and said:
"Sir, I think this is the case. The man also said that with this layer of scales, in addition to being able to avoid the scorching sun in the world, we can also hide under the eyes of the underworld patrols, making them unable to detect us.
After Dalang and I were both wrapped in scales, he asked me to wait on the river, taking turns harassing the boats, and tried to hint to the other party that if he wanted to be safe, he had to go to Jiang Bo Temple to offer incense.
Later, they thought we were lazy, so they drove me ashore, played tricks in the town, and taught us some kind of water escape technique. They said that if we encountered the underworld patrolling for arrest, wearing these scales would allow us to escape through water.
If we run away, the underworld will have nothing to do with me.
I just never thought that I would meet such a powerful man today..."
When he said this, the day cruise next to him immediately became furious, and he flicked the soul-binding rope again and shouted:
"This black dragon is really hateful. It has bullied me, Lord Wu, and I will peel off your scales today."
After saying this, he actually wanted to step forward to take action. Cheng Yu knew in his heart that the secrets of Wujun Palace were not as stable as those of Wenjun Palace. They were all surrounded by aggressive warriors who would take action at the slightest disagreement, even if they persuaded him to stay. Upon seeing this, Hou Siniang quickly knelt on the ground and cried:
"Master Yincha, please calm down. You must not do it. The scales on your body seem to be connected to that person from a distance. I secretly tried to peel them off that night, but the person found out that they didn't work. I don't know how to use them."
What kind of spell, the scales all over the body are wrapped tighter and tighter, almost suffocating the slave to death.
After a while, the hoarse voice of the man came out from the scales: He reassured the slave to help him expand the incense, and when he recovered from his injuries, he released the souls of the slave and the old man, and returned to the world to be a real husband and wife."
"Return to Yang?"
Cheng Yu shook his head slightly when he heard this, what a lie.
Seeing Cheng Yu shaking his head in disbelief, Hou Siniang immediately added:
"That's right, when he wanted to rehabilitate the slave, he also showed us the two big wooden boxes he hid at the bottom of the river. The bodies of the slave and Dalang were still preserved in the boxes, not rotten or stiff, as if they were asleep.
Therefore...that's why Nu and Dalang had their thoughts and were willing to be driven by them to harass the people in the town. But we, we have never committed any crime of killing..."
When Cheng Yu heard this, he immediately turned to the patrolman beside him and asked:
"I wonder if a commission officer can carry a Yin-Yang book with him?"
Cheng Yu only asked half of the question and then stopped. The patrolman understood immediately, just rubbed his hands and shook his head:
"We have no right to take out the Yin-Yang Book while we are out on tour. Why don't I take this woman's soul back to Wujun Palace and investigate it carefully."
When Cheng Yu heard this, he immediately shook his head and said:
"No, the scales this woman is wearing must be connected to the black dragon's energy. If she is brought back to the underworld rashly, it will cause the black dragon to wake up, but it will scare the snake..."
Suddenly Cheng Yu remembered something again and turned to Hou Siniang and asked:
"Just now when you escaped into the water, I popped out a Martial Lord Token aura to force you to appear, and these scales also appeared. I wonder if the man in black could sense it?"
Hou Siniang slowly shook her head and said:
"It should be that there is no sense. Just now, Mr. Slave Soul was injured, so he could no longer maintain the method of blinding the eyes with the scales, allowing him to show his true appearance. However, the scales themselves were not damaged, and he did not feel the same as last time.
The feeling of being imprisoned by the scales is nothing to worry about."
Cheng Yu nodded after hearing this, and after thinking for a while, he said to the patrol envoy:
"Why don't you bother sending officials back to Lord Wu's palace and inform Lord Wu of this matter? This woman and I will find the other soul together and then we can make a decision."
The parade envoy immediately cupped his fists and saluted:
"That's fine, I'll go back to the palace now, but how can I contact you later?"
"After we find the soul of Dalang, we will summon the Lord Wu's token, and the officer will find us by following the token's scent."
"Shan, since that's the case, I'll take my leave first."
After saying this, the patrol envoy clasped his fists and saluted again, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye with a gust of wind.
At this time, the cat demon Jia Fei finally realized something unusual here after a week of transportation.
She bypassed the men and women upstream who were still discussing how their house was haunted, and came to Cheng Yu. When she saw Hou Siniang kneeling on the ground, dressed in pitch-black scales, she was startled and was about to throw out a flying stick.
Fortunately, Cheng Yu stopped it in time.
He roughly recounted what happened to Jia Fei. The cat demon sighed in a low voice and said:
"Alas, these descendants of the Qian family don't make people worry."
After hearing the real reason for the prosperity of Jiang Bo Temple, Jia Fei immediately sneered.
"This gangster is so shameless. He raises a charlatan to help him defraud him of incense. It's a shame he figured out such a sinister trick."
Seeing that Jia Fei was getting more and more energetic as he spoke, Cheng Yu was filled with righteous indignation, but Cheng Yu was guessing that the lightning struck his statue before, and then the old Taoist master and apprentice used urine mud to restore the dragon's head, which caused the statue to completely collapse.
, plus when Wu Jun sent an undercover agent to investigate the man’s movements, he reported that there was still a wound on his neck that had not healed...
From this point of view, this black dragon keeps two ghosts to help it cheat for incense. It must be to use the power of incense to quickly recover from its injuries.
He was so eager to recover, why did he come...
"Do you know where your Qian family man is now?"
When Hou Siniang saw Cheng Yu asking about her close friend, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes. She was hesitating whether to say it or not. Cheng Yu immediately added:
"You can rest assured that if you two really have never committed any murderous act, I will not kill you. I may even consider helping you escape from the control of the man in black."
After hearing this, Hou Siniang immediately thanked her. Cheng Yu ordered her to stand up, and then she stood up and said:
"We were both wandering around the town today, but we saw that everyone in the town was disturbed by the two of us, so Da Lang asked his slave to follow these people from outside the town. He originally intended to intimidate them, but unexpectedly he met Mr.
...Da Lang should still be looking for him in the town right now."
"Let me ask you, can Jiang Bo Temple be located in the town?"
Hou Siniang shook her head and said:
"Five miles outside the town, near the dock."
"Five miles away..."
Cheng Yu secretly estimated that after he was connected to the qi machine of the Quexian God Statue, he could not sense the distance of more than five miles.
The black dragon has yet to recover from its serious injury, so its sensing range is expected not to reach the town.
"Let's go, find your big man first and then deal with it."
After Cheng Yu finished speaking, when his soul was about to return, Hou Siniang watched the white-shirted Master Wen Sheng in front of her suddenly disappear, and the pressure also suddenly diminished, and then she took a breath of soul and frowned slightly.
, the dark scales covering his whole body began to squirm on their own under the sunlight, and within a few breaths, they once again returned to their black gauze and hooded attire.
At this time, Cheng Yu was standing on the branch like a sparrow. He could no longer see Hou Siniang, and could only vaguely feel the cold atmosphere where she was standing.
At this moment, a qi force came from the direction of Jia Fei. After Cheng Yu connected it with his own body, he shared his blue light magic eyesight with the cat demon.
Since these days, with the incense and willing power being supplied, the sun essence and moonlight being sucked in, while the cat demon is tempering its bones, the demon soul in the sea of consciousness has also grown a lot.
At this time, when she connected with Cheng Yu's qi machine again, although the feeling was still like a river flowing backwards, she had gradually gotten used to it, and it was no longer as uncomfortable as the first connection.
Cheng Yu looked from the perspective of Jia Fei's green light magic eye. At this time, Hou Siniang had changed into a black veil hat and was asking Jia Fei where the gentleman in the white shirt had gone.
Jia Fei heard this and said lightly:
"You don't need to worry about him. When you find your husband, he will show up. Let's go."
Hou Siniang didn't dare to say anything, so she had to drift towards Jiangkou Town first.
A small sparrow spread its wings on the branch and flew quickly over their heads.
Jia Fei raised his head and glanced at the back of the sparrow in the sky, urging Hou Siniang to speed up and go in the direction of the sparrow.
