Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 295 Ghost Sophora
"True Immortal Temple!"

Xiao Ran looked at the plaque above the gate and thought, "This place is not contaminated by the Corpse Demon Taro Powder. I will go in and hide first. When the Corpse Demon Taro Powder is completely dispersed, I will find a chance to escape and take a look at the origins of this True Immortal Temple."

Xiao Ran dared to do so because he had the confidence to rely on.

Although his strength was affected by the corpse demon's taro powder, he was still a [Corpse Collector] who could activate the [Evil-Suppressing Order] at the critical moment. With his identity as a ghost messenger, he had a natural restraint over these evil spirits.

The most important thing is that there is no interference from the corpse demon taro powder, so I can boldly reveal my trump card and it will not be difficult for me to break out at the critical moment.

Following this group of confused people, Xiao Ran walked inside.

As soon as I walked to the door, I saw two huge white lanterns hanging there.

When I got closer, I saw two lanterns, each with a single eye, hanging on the door beam, aligned with each other. They were like a pair of wild beasts choosing their prey, staring at the person who walked into the door with a fierce look.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran hurriedly lowered his head, grabbed two clumps of hair from the mouths of the two "kind-hearted people", wrapped them around himself, and walked forward crookedly.

When they walked in front of the lanterns, the eyes of the two lanterns suddenly locked on Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran felt that the light around him suddenly became brighter, and thought to himself, "Has he been discovered?"

Just when Xiao Ran realized that something was wrong and was about to escape, the door in front of him suddenly opened and closed, like a bloody mouth, blowing a breath of cold wind towards Xiao Ran.

In an instant, Xiao Ran felt as if the corpse energy in his body was about to be blown away, but then unexpected news came to Xiao Ran.

"Hint! You are affected by the C-level curse [Gate of Hell], and the effect of the Corpse Demon Taro Powder has been dispelled!"

"There is such a good thing."

Xiao Ran showed joy on his face. He didn't expect the other person to be so polite. He helped him sweep the dust off his body before he even entered the door.

Now that the influence of [Corpse Demon Taro Powder] was gone, Xiao Ran felt more at ease and followed the crowd into the gate.

Xiao Ran took a look and saw that the Taoist temple was not big. There was a main hall in the front and a room behind each corridor on both sides. They were square and just occupied a slightly larger area.

It is not even as big as the City God Temple in Los Angeles.

There is a locust tree in the middle. It is tall and has big leaves. Its trunk is thick and winding. The mottled lines on its bark look like the wrinkles of an old man.

“Such a strong negative energy!!”

Xiao Ran looked and saw the golden flowers on the locust tree, which were filled with a frighteningly yin energy. On each of the golden flowers, there were more than a dozen evil ghosts hanging upside down, with fangs and claws bared, staring at the people who were driven under the tree.

The common people who ate the black steamed buns crawled on the ground with their mouths open, continuously spitting out black hair, and formed hairy cicada pupae on the locust trees. Then the evil spirits on the trees could not wait to drill in.

The hair that an ordinary citizen spits out can only produce a small number of cicada pupae. When all the hair is spit out, the person falls to the ground, completely out of breath. Immediately afterwards, the evil spirits that have taken over the person's body nearby pounce on him and start to bite and eat him.

All you could hear was the gnawing sounds and a strong smell of blood filled the air.

"These beasts!"

Xiao Ran looked at how they treated people as food, and suddenly felt disgusted.

Then he turned his eyes and saw three figures dressed as Taoists standing in a row under the big locust tree. One of them was the Taoist who had praised himself for being blessed at the altar just now.

This guy looked around, and Xiao Ran quickly lowered his head, not wanting him to notice him.

"So, these evil spirits came from this tree?"

An idea suddenly occurred to Xiao Ran: "If we throw a firecracker into such a large biogas pool, hehe..."

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran started to ponder in his heart.

He slowly retreated among the crowd without making a sound, and at the same time calculated with his fingers. The yin energy here was unprecedentedly strong, comparable to the Beimang Mountain.

Such a place is a good place.

"I'm missing a suitable talisman."

Xiao Ran quickly reviewed all the cursed objects he had on hand in his mind, but the quality of these cursed objects was mostly not suitable for use in the art of exorcism.

After thinking about it, Xiao Ran suddenly had an idea: "There is something that is quite suitable, but... the effect..."

What Xiao Ran thought of was nothing else but the piece of Taishan stone in his hand.

This thing is extraordinary and is absolutely qualified to be used as a talisman.

Xiao Ran took a deep breath and stared at the big locust tree in front of him, while in his mind he recalled the knowledge of the art of exorcism that Huang Jinye had learned.

"As the saying goes, extreme yin gives birth to yang, this Taishan stone should be yang, right? There just so happens to be a magic called Yin-Yang Magic, which is perfect for dealing with evil spirits like you."

Xiao Ran made up his mind and began to make arrangements without making any noise.

Actually, there is nothing to arrange. The art of Yan Sheng is different from the Taoist formation. Xiao Ran is not familiar with Taoism. As for the art of Yan Sheng, you don't need to move anything, or arrange any formation bases, etc. After all, the manure pit is ready. It has become a manure pit, so what else can you arrange? ?
Do we need to hang a mirror in front of the toilet so that people who go to the toilet can see their wonderful moments? ?
At most, it will be the same as the brothel last time, just block the sewage outlet.

But Xiao Ran walked around the Taoist temple and found that this place was simply a natural cesspool, ahem! No, it should be said that it was a perfect evil situation.

In order to nourish the locust tree, these evil ghosts did all the work that Xiao Ran was supposed to do. They were even afraid that the holes that needed to be blocked were not blocked firmly, so they simply sealed them up with big stones.

"My goodness, these evil ghosts are really hardworking."

Then you just need to find a suitable location and put the talisman on it, but where is the best place to put the talisman?
As the key to warding off evil, talismans have different effects when placed in different locations.

Xiao Ran stood behind the crowd and paced slowly, observing every detail of the Taoist temple. His eyes turned and finally focused on the old locust tree.

That place is the very center of the place and has the most yin energy. If you place the talisman there, it will definitely have the best effect.

"But..." Xiao Ran looked at the three Taoists under the tree, feeling conflicted. He had seen the methods of these evil ghosts before at the altar. They were definitely not ordinary evil ghosts.

Even if he went all out, he probably wouldn't be sure of winning, let alone against three Taoists.

"How can we lure them away?"

"bump!"

Perhaps because he was too absorbed in watching, Xiao Ran accidentally bumped into something. He looked up and saw a woman in front of him, wearing a blood-red wedding dress. The satin texture shone dimly in the moonlight. Her long hair fell like a waterfall, covering most of her face like a tangled mess.

At this moment, the woman turned her head, and her fingers, like green onion roots and tender bamboo shoots, gently lifted the long hair from her face, revealing a face full of pockmarks, and grinning with big black and yellow teeth: "Have you seen my head?"

Xiao Ran was stunned. The strange combination in front of him made him feel extremely uncomfortable in his stomach. But when he thought about it carefully, wasn't this head Gou Si'er's?
Seeing Xiao Ran didn't say anything, the woman's eyes were filled with resentment, and she asked again: "Have you seen my head?!"

When the woman finished saying this, Xiao Ran keenly felt as if there was a force slowly tightening around his neck.

It seemed that if his next answer did not satisfy the woman, this force would cut off his head.

At this moment, Xiao Ran glanced and suddenly noticed that the old man who was selling melons before was next to him. At this moment, the old man was holding a carrying pole and looking at the big locust tree in front of him. It was unknown what he was thinking about, and he was looking at it very intently.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran's heart suddenly moved.

"I see!" Xiao Ran nodded and said, "Your head is in my hand. I can sew it back on for you, but you have to take the head off your neck first."

The woman showed a look of surprise when she heard that. She couldn't wait to grab the head by the neck with both hands and pulled it hard, actually tearing Gou Si'er's head off alive.

After losing her head, the woman could not see, but she could feel Xiao Ran's location. She stretched out her hands towards Xiao Ran and urged him in a hurried voice from her chest: "Where is my head? Give it to me quickly!"

"Okay, okay, I'll give it to you right away!"

Xiao Ran took two steps back and came to the old man selling melons. He spread out his palm and a rope with a golden claw hook appeared in his palm.

【Locust Hook·Scholar】

Perk 1: Locust Claw
It can throw out flying claws to grab objects within 300 meters of line of sight.

While the old man was not paying attention, Xiao Ran threw out his flying claw, grabbed the bamboo basket like lightning, and casually picked up the woman and threw her at her: "Catch it!"

The woman felt something flying towards her, and immediately reached out to grab it. She felt that the thing was round to the touch.

Before she could come to her senses, Xiao Ran patted the old man on the shoulder and said, "Hey, uncle, this woman is stealing your melon."

The old man looked at his bamboo basket first, then raised his head and saw the woman holding the melons he had worked so hard to grow. His expression suddenly changed: "You stinky woman, how dare you steal my melons!"

As he spoke, the old man lifted a golden winter melon from the bamboo basket and threw it at the woman. The woman was unable to dodge and was hit by the golden winter melon. The winter melon immediately felt like it had taken root on her body, and its heavy weight made the woman unable to straighten her back.

The pumpkin face that the woman had placed on her neck showed an angry expression: "Give me back my head!!"

"This is not your head, it's all mine!"

As the old man spoke, he immediately picked up a golden watermelon and threw it at the woman. The woman was already being pressed down by the golden winter melon and had no time to dodge. The watermelon immediately hit her body. She was trembling as she tried to support herself. She opened her mouth again; "Give me back my head."

"for you!!"

As he spoke, the old man lifted a brass pumpkin from the bamboo basket, raised it above his head, and smashed it down at the woman.

But at the same time, an invisible force tightly clamped the old man's throat, and a ferocious look appeared on the woman's face.

With a "puff!", the old man's head rolled down.

The headless old man swayed from side to side for a few times, then fell forward, and the brass pumpkin in his hand smashed down on the woman's head.

"Crack!"

The pumpkin that the woman had just placed on her neck was smashed into pieces by the pumpkin. The huge force made the woman lie prone on the ground. The golden and silver pumpkins on her body began to take root and sprout quickly on the ground, and then grew thin vines. Soon, the woman's body was gradually sucked into jerky...
