Chapter Forty-Nine: Painted Skin Red Cloud
Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet.
Early on, the ducks dominated the river, and the quacking sound converged together, very noisy and loud.
Because of Kaienke, the already lively city of Hangzhou has become even more lively.
Lifters from all over the world in the Great Song Dynasty came here one after another, filling all the inns in the entire city of Hangzhou.
Merchants saw the benefits and came here one after another, and suddenly the entire city of Hangzhou, whether on the river or on the road, was very congested.
There were so many people, and gradually, some things came here with the flow of people.
At this moment, by the West Lake in Hangzhou City, in the Spring Rain Building, the ghost is sitting in the corner, squinting and listening to the melodious sound of the piano.
Upstairs, in the light gauze curtain, a woman looms.
Her piano is beautiful.
But the sound is more beautiful.
Finally, as soon as the prelude passed, she began to sing.
A song of spring breeze drunk makes everyone drunk.
After a moment of silence, there was a round of applause.
Ghost Cry opened his eyes, picked up the last peanut on the plate, and threw it into his mouth, "click", and the peanut was crushed by the miserable white teeth.
As soon as he threw the chopsticks, put on the hat, stood up with the knife, and showed the sign on his waist is a thunderous shout: "The Heavenly Master's Mansion is doing things, and the idle people are out of the way!"
Then he ignored them, and the snow-white blade was unsheathed, and he jumped on the table, and stepped on the table and headed towards the woman in the tent.
Cups and plates fly, wine flutters, dishes spill. The guests panicked and scattered to avoid it.
The ghost vault stepped on the table, and the whole person rose into the air.
The ape's arms stretched lightly, and he grabbed the floor slab of the second floor. Then, the whole person climbed over the railing and arrived in front of the light gauze curtain on the second floor.
With a knife, cut off the light yarn.
The wind rose, and the light veil fell, revealing the woman playing the piano behind.
The woman is beautiful, as beautiful as a person in a picture.
Willow eyebrows, a little cinnabar red between the eyebrows.
Danfeng eyes, eye waves flow like spring water.
Ice and snow skin, with peach blossom pollen in the skin.
The long ink-colored hair hung down on his chest, and he wore a red dress like fire.
This woman is the Hongyun girl who has recently become popular all over Hangzhou City, and I don't know how many people have paid thousands of dollars just to spend a good night with her.
Ghost Cry carried a knife and kicked away a reckless scholar who rushed over, and picked up the panicked guy: "Red Cloud girl, or I don't know what the hell is going on, you did the recent heart-digging case! ”
Faced with the sudden ghost crying, the Red Cloud Girl glanced at him resentfully, and then floated away, shooting out the window. Devil Cry ran quickly to the window, stepped on the edge of the window, and jumped to the roof opposite.
Everyone in the hall looked at each other.
On the second floor, a wealthy businessman's face suddenly changed drastically, and he covered his mouth with a blue face.
As a well-informed businessman, he naturally knew that what the Heavenly Master's Mansion was going to catch was definitely related to demons.
And he has heard a lot of rumors about demons, and even seen them once or twice. He was close enough to hear what the ghost was saying, and the words "I don't know what it was" pierced deep into his mind.
You know, he's already managed to spend a good night with Miss Red Cloud. Just the demons, he can also comfort himself with fox spirits and the like. But the fox spirit sucks [forbidden] essence, and in the fox spirit, it is fast and frequent, and it can cost you half a life in one night.
And the night he spent with the Red Cloud Girl, he was fierce, once in the middle of the night, and when he woke up the next day, he only felt slightly tired, which was completely different from the feeling of the fox spirit.
In the daze of that night, he seemed to see something disgusting and ugly, he had always thought it was just a dream, but now he thought about it......
Vomit!
The rich merchant's face was gray, like a dead mother.
Outside, a chase is taking place on the rooftops.
The Red Cloud Girl is like a kite, and with a little tiptoe, it floats out a few feet.
And the ghost cried, like an ape, like a cheetah, and flew from house to house, and the tiles shattered one after another under his feet, causing the people below to scream and curse.
The two of you chased after me, and soon passed through the downtown area to a secluded place.
The red-faced girl floated up again, and floated to the opposite house.
With a "boom", a white light shot out from the ghost crying palm.
Like a bird with folded wings, the Red Cloud Maiden slanted down, avoiding the white light.
And that white light hit the opposite roof, and with a "snap", the roof tiles shattered, and the white light submerged into it, revealing red silk, but it was a flying knife.
Ghost Cry jumped down from the roof, and the long knife was raised above her head, slashing at the Red Cloud Girl who had just landed.
With a knife that cut off the red sleeve, the red cloud girl's arm was exposed like a lotus root, and she rose into the air, stepping on the wall with one foot, wanting to climb onto the roof again.
As soon as the ghost cried and raised his hand, it was another throwing knife.
The Red Cloud Maiden's waist seemed to snap back, and the knife cut through the placket of her clothes, forcing her long swan-like neck to slash through her chin and nail it to the wall.
The Red Cloud Girl floated from mid-air, and a little blood beaded down her chin and dripped to the ground.
The wound was full of black and red, not at all the pink flesh that it should be.
"Painted skin. The ghost cried, "Sure enough." ”
Painted skin, a very special kind of demon, and it is not a demon of grass and trees, stubborn stones, and beasts, but originally a human being.
The exact source is no longer clear.
However, in the past 100 years, those who have become painted are often those abandoned babies.
They are discarded on the side of the road, in the river, in the well, for a variety of reasons.
Or because of her daughter's body, or because she has a disability, or because she has other difficulties.
In short, they were lost, and then, most of them died, some froze to death and some starved to death, some were eaten by beasts and monsters, and the rest survived, some were picked up by well-wishers, some were adopted by beasts and monsters, and some survived on their own.
Some of this part is in the city, and some is outside the city.
In the city, most of them live in sewers and do not see the light of day.
Gradually, they grew up and instinctively yearned for life above. However, because he has been in the sewers for many years, relying on rotten and disgusting things for food, his body is twisted, his skin is rotten, mosquitoes are everywhere, and he emits a foul smell.
Therefore, they have low self-esteem and dare not show themselves in front of others. They yearn for the life of ordinary people above, longing, envy, and finally turn into jealousy.
They are especially jealous of those beautiful women and of everything they have.
Finally, one day, they took the final step and attacked a beautiful woman, stripped her skin, and lived in her place.
So, he became a demon and a painted skin.
Painted skin is good at acting, proficient in the concealment of demonic energy, when they rein in the demonic energy, it is difficult for you to detect that this beautiful woman is actually a monster.
They also have some illusions, and the illusions only make you ignore some of their unusual features.
These skills can make the painted skin blend well into the red dust.
However, Painted Skin is a kind of monster with an extremely low self-esteem, driven by this inferiority, they are extremely eager for the eyes of others, and they like to enjoy themselves, and they like to be drunk with money.
For this reason, Painted Skin often appears in the eyes of the world as an Oiran, and in order to make money and enjoy, they even research spells that can make men last.
In addition, they don't just put on a layer of skin, they have to prevent this layer of skin on their bodies from rotting, so they often need to take off their skin every day to wash it with potions, and they also have to swallow men's hearts, so they maintain a fit between themselves and the skin.
However, there are more people's eyes, and flaws are inevitably discovered, whether it is molting and cleaning every day, or swallowing a man's heart every once in a while, it is a fatal flaw.
Therefore, the painting skin has to constantly change its identity, so it is extremely harmful.
Painted skin, one of the must-kill lists of the Heavenly Master's Mansion. Whenever you meet, you don't care about good or evil, you will be killed immediately, and the price is expensive.
"Looks like I guessed right. Ghost Cry laughed and said, "That way, I don't have to bother to bring you back." ”
"How dare you damage my skin. "This red cloud girl still looked at the ghost crying with resentment, very beautiful, very beautiful. But when the hoarse old woman's voice came out of her mouth, it became a little terrifying.
"I'm going to kill you. She said.
