Faced with the sudden change in the restaurant, Ma Qin's nerves all over his body became tense.
During the conversation with Gu Xu just now, he had already realized that Taoyuan Town was essentially a ghost town.
On the one hand, the buildings here violate taboos everywhere, which leads to the gathering of gloomy air - it is not suitable for human beings to live, but it is a paradise for ghosts and monsters.
On the other hand, the food sold in the restaurant are all common offerings in sacrifices - in this case, everyone in the restaurant, whether diners or clerks, cannot be alive.
Now, these ghosts are finally going to attack the two outsiders.
Ma Qin has been prepared for this.
When the shop owner was about to attack the two of them with a butcher knife, he decided to strike first.
Although Ma Qin now has no hope of competing for official positions, he believes that the big shots from the capital are still observing his performance outside the illusion.
It’s okay to be a little inferior to Gu Xu in solving puzzles and solving crimes - after all, young people’s minds are always better than his.
If he had to hide behind Gu Xu even in battles, then the big shots from the capital would probably regard him as a waste who would just eat and die and it would be difficult for him to get a promotion in the future.
Therefore, it is very necessary to seize the opportunity to show your abilities.
Thinking of this, Ma Qin stood up suddenly, pushed away the table, clenched his fists, and hit the shop owner with a butcher knife and a weird smile.
"Rock Fist".
This is a low-grade martial arts practiced by Ma Qin, worth six hundred meritorious deeds.
Although Ma Qin is best at swordsmanship, there are many special occasions where he cannot carry a sword with him. Therefore, he specially exchanged a boxing technique for self-defense.
That’s when it comes in handy.
I saw his fist and his entire arm gradually turning into hard stone. Behind him, the shadow of a hill also appeared.
"Bang!"
The moment the stone fist came into contact with the butcher's knife, the sonorous sound of metal and stone hitting each other resounded throughout the restaurant.
Subsequently, conspicuous cracks appeared on the butcher knife in the shop owner's hand - as if it had turned into thin and brittle ceramic, and shattered to pieces.
At this moment, Gu Xu felt the majestic power contained in Ma Qin's fist.
That is the profound true energy possessed by the monks in the second realm.
"I wonder if I will have such a powerful power after I break through." Gu Xu thought secretly in his heart.
But the ghosts obviously won’t stop there.
When the shop owner saw that the butcher knife was broken, he threw the bare handle on the ground, picked up the crutch at hand, and hit Ma Qin hard on the head.
The surrounding boys were not to be outdone - they took pots, pans, knives, forks and chopsticks nearby and swarmed towards Ma Qin, surrounding him.
The diners in the restaurant stood up one after another, throwing the tableware and food on the table at Ma Qin, and cheering for the staff, as if they were enjoying a wonderful performance.
Under such circumstances, Ma Qin secretly cursed in his heart: These ghosts can't beat me in a single fight, so they just fight in groups. It's really unethical!
Although "Rock Fist" combines offense and defense with significant destructive power, making Ma Qin invincible in one-on-one fights, it ultimately only has the ability to attack single targets and cannot cause area damage.
This means that it is still very difficult for Ma Qin to fight more than ten ghosts at the same time and avoid the dishes thrown by diners.
He has used "Rock Fist" to completely turn his two arms into rocks - his wishful thinking is: as long as I am durable enough and can withstand attacks from all directions, these ghosts will be unable to attack. I, I can take them out one by one.
However, at this moment, a spoiled egg flew out of nowhere and accurately hit Ma Qin’s head - if nothing else, this should also have been placed in front of the grave for many years. offerings.
Egg white mixed with egg yolk flowed down Ma Qin's cheek, exuding a pungent smell.
The ghosts and ghosts in the restaurant burst into eerie laughter.
It is not very lethal but extremely insulting!
Ma Qin was immediately furious.
"Brother Gu Xian, aren't you going to take action yet?" He shouted to Gu Xu who was sitting at the dining table.
At this moment, Ma Qin had given up the idea of being brave.
And secretly, he had an inexplicable confidence in Gu Xu - for some reason, perhaps because Gu Xu had always been calm and confident after entering the illusion, even if Gu Xu's The cultivation level was a whole level lower than him, and he also felt that Gu Xu should have a way to deal with this room full of ghosts.
Gu Xu had a smile on his lips, his eyes were calm, and he said to him in a relaxed tone: "Brother Ma, don't panic! I will take care of everything!"
Then Gu Xu Youyou stood up, glanced around at the ghosts in the room, and said politely:
"Folks from Taoyuan Town, thank you very much for your hospitality today. The food and wine you have here exudes an alluring smell, It gave me a warm feeling.
"Only now, I have to say 'sorry' to you. Because from now on, this welcoming restaurant will no longer exist. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the ghosts and monsters that had surrounded Ma Qin suddenly looked at him, their eyes greedy, cold, and sinister, if there was any substance.
But Gu Xu, however, still looked calm and uneasy.
“Have you ever heard of the ‘Tai Shang Arctic Demon-Suppressing and Ghost-killing Talisman’? He chuckled lightly, paused for a few seconds and then continued, "It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it."
"Now, the stage has been set up. You will soon be able to appreciate its wonderful brilliance."
Hearing these words, Ma Qin felt a little puzzled.
He knew that Gu Xu was a very good Talisman Master.
But the illusion in the pot is a world of spiritual consciousness, and weapons including talismans and seals cannot be brought in.
During the period after entering the illusion, Gu Xu had no pen and paper in his hands, and it was impossible to draw symbols temporarily.
So where did the ‘ghost-killing talisman’ he mentioned come from?
Is it possible that Gu Xu can use the heaven and earth as paper and the true essence as ink to create a prison to suppress evil ghosts out of thin air like the Grand Master of Qi?
But after a few breaths, Ma Qin knew the answer.
He heard Gu Xu softly reciting the familiar "Exorcist Mantra": "Five stars suppress the color, illuminate the mysterious world. Thousands of gods and saints, protect my true spirit..."
< p>He saw a bright light seeping out from under the floor of this room, as if golden ink was flowing on rice paper, outlining complex, mysterious and uniquely beautiful runes one after another.It sounded like a thunder in my mind.
Ma Qin opened his mouth wide and slapped his thigh with his right hand.
Spilled cinnamon wine!
It turns out that this is the crux of the problem!
It turns out that Gu Xu had already conceived a strategy to deal with the ghosts when he entered the restaurant!
It turns out that his long-term calm patience was just to prepare for this fatal blow!
