Chapter 250: The Old Ghost Who Lived for Several Years (11)
There was one more thing that Gu Chang wanted to ask Ling Yiyan, and that was about the elegy.
"Master, do you still remember Wange?" Gu Chang walked to Ling Yiyan who was sitting at the table.
Ling Yiyan put down the carving knife and black jade in his hands, raised his head and looked at Gu Chang. He asked doubtfully, "Who is Wange?"
Gu Chang was slightly stunned and asked him, "Where did you go after you left Ling Xiaosu?"
Ling Yiyan blinked slowly, then said: "After I left him..."
As Ling Yiyan was speaking, he found that he could not remember anything about what happened after he left, so he fell silent.
"Master, I will go to Guangyuan Temple to find Wuya as soon as possible." Gu Chang could only say this first to comfort Ling Yiyan.
"It's okay. If I lose my memory again, just kill me." Ling Yiyan said in a hoarse voice.
"But after you die, Ling Xiaosu is very likely to let you be reborn again." Gu Chang said this.
Ling Yiyan sighed softly, "You are right, Ling Xiaosu will not let me die so easily. Gu Guiyan, now, I will tell you everything about the Puppet Master."
"Time is short, I will only tell you the key points."
So in the following time, Gu Chang followed Ling Yiyan to learn about puppeteers.
By the time of You, Gu Chang and Yin Li should leave the palace.
Before the two left, Ling Yiyan called them.
"Do you know why Ling Xiaosu has so many human skins to make human skin dolls?" The setting sun made the shadow of Ling Yiyan, who was standing at the door of the hall, particularly long.
Gu Chang and Yin Li looked at him sideways without saying anything.
Ling Yiyan continued, "Every two weeks, I will leave two palace maids in Yuyao Palace. That's how he got his human skin. Because women are inherently yin, Ling Xiaosu needs extremely yin blood to nourish his ghost body."
The system was indignant, "How cruel, this villain."
After Ling Yiyan finished speaking, he turned and walked into the hall. He sat back in the chair in front of his desk and picked up the carving knife to continue carving the unfinished black jade.
After Gu Chang and Yin Li looked at each other, they left Yuqiao Palace.
After leaving the palace, Gu Changxian returned to Gu's residence.
Tianyu and Mingtang were both in the yard. Mingtang was squatting in the small kitchen in the yard cooking medicine for Tianyu.
Tianyu sat on a stool in the yard, sharpening his dagger with a whetstone.
"Young Master." Hearing the footsteps, Tian Yu stopped what he was doing, stood up and faced Gu Chang.
"Tianyu, what happened to you?" Gu Chang asked when he saw the white gauze wrapped around Tianyu's arm.
So Tianyu recounted the whole story of their encounter with the assassin in Lingsi Pavilion.
"You saw the assassin bleeding." Gu Chang noticed this. He sat on the stool next to Tian Yu and frowned slightly.
"Yes, but his body quickly deflated, and we could only tell the government officials that the assassin had escaped." Tian Yu said in a deep voice.
"What a cunning ghost." Yin Li pursed his lips, looking serious.
Tianyu didn't know about the Konggu puppet yet, so he asked, "Evil ghost?"
Yin Li first glanced at Gu Chang. Gu Chang knew what she was worried about, so he briefly told Tian Yu about the Konggu puppet.
Seeing that Gu Chang had taken the initiative to speak, Yin Li said, "Sir, I will ask the kitchen staff to prepare the meal first."
"Well, thank you for your hard work." Gu Chang said lightly.
After Gu Chang finished speaking, Mingtang's voice suddenly rang out.
"There is such a strange thing?!" Mingtang, who had cooked the medicine, came over with a bowl of black medicine juice. After listening to what Gu Chang said, he said with a little surprise.
Tianyu took the medicine from Mingtang's hand, said thank you, and started blowing air with his mouth, trying to make the steaming hot medicine cool down faster.
"Can a ghost live that long?" Mingtang also sat down and asked Gu Chang curiously. He still looked like the young man he was when Gu Chang first met him.
Gu Chang's tone was slightly heavy, "It needs to suck human blood to maintain its ghost body."
"If it is so powerful, doesn't that mean no one in the world can defeat it?" Mingtang continued to ask.
Tianyu interrupted at this time, "Didn't you sprinkle poison on it?"
"That was just good luck, a coincidence. Besides, what we met in Lingsi Pavilion today were its clones. If its clones are so powerful, then the real body must be even more powerful. And we don't know exactly how many clones it has." Mingtang frowned and expressed his opinion.
Tian Yu thought about it and couldn't help shaking his head. "An old ghost who has lived for hundreds of years has learned so many tricks. I can't think of a solution. At this point, you'd better drink my medicine first." He finished drinking the bitter medicine in one breath. After drinking it, Tian Yu's face wrinkled.
Gu Chang supported his chin with one hand. He was thinking that he had come to the Kingdom of Zhou to find the corpse of Princess Murong Yunming, but now he encountered this kind of thing.
I thought I had completed the mission when I met Wange in Xiaoyu Town.
He didn't expect that the real mission was still waiting for him here.
It was already late, and he probably wouldn't be able to find Wu Ya even if he went to Guangyuan Temple.
I can only wait until tomorrow.
But he couldn't guarantee whether Ling Xiaosu would come to his room again.
After all, he didn't notice that there was an extra person in his room last time.
Gu Chang felt that no matter which corner he looked at now, Ling Xiaosu would suddenly appear.
This feeling is very bad.
Because the enemy is in the dark and they are in the light.
So this time, Gu Chang chose to let the system radar search the Gu residence to see if there was Ling Xiaosu's clone.
As expected, this search allowed Gu Chang to find the location of Ling Xiaosu's clone in Gu's house.
A total of nine human-skin puppets were found. Tianyu and Mingtang saw the human-skin puppets for the first time and couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration.
Although they are Night Shadow Guards, they do not have the means to peel off the skin from a person intactly.
After burning these human skin dolls, Gu Chang was still not at ease.
Since Ling Xiaosu is a fierce ghost, the talisman should still have some effect on him.
So Gu Chang asked Mingtang to go out and buy some materials for drawing talismans.
Taking advantage of the time when Mingtang had not yet bought it back, Gu Chang opened the ancient book that Ling Yiyan gave him.
Gu Chang understood the magic techniques recorded in ancient books at a glance.
However, the alchemists in this world don’t rely on spiritual power to catch ghosts. Instead, they use talismans to enchant their bodies and fight against evil spirits in hand-to-hand combat.
Gu Chang was silent. Such a simple and unpretentious fighting style surprised him a little.
So after buying the materials for drawing talismans in Mingtang, Gu Chang perfectly replicated the talismans written in ancient books on talisman paper.
Gu Chang looked at the drawn talisman paper on the table and thought to himself: I just don’t know if these talismans exist. If it is the version modified by Ling Xiaosu, then I can only rely on the Charming Queen.
