    Xie Ren turned his head back and saw that the speaker was the “Life Snatching Quick Dagger Demon”. He said, “Your popularity is too heavy.”

    The group of ghosts all said, “The puppet master is …… understandable. He also has ghost qi on him.”

    Life Snatching Quick Dagger Demon: “No no, everyone take a closer look, the ghostly aura on this ‘puppet master’ is not from the inside out at all, instead it looks like …… it was tainted from the outside.”

    From the outside contaminated with ghost gas, originally can be fooled, but once the focus of attention of the group of ghosts, the details will be magnified. This life-threatening fast knife demon first came out to create a disturbance when the brain does not look too good, with that day eyes open about the same, Xie Ren thought he was an insignificant small role, who knows that it is not good to make a bluff. A ghost said, “This one seems to know a lot. So is there an accurate answer or not? How should we judge? Do you have any idea?”

    Life Snatcher: “There is. There’s a prop, that can tell what he really is!”

    He took something out of his sleeve. When the ghosts saw it, they backed away in a big circle, saying, “Damn! You’re carrying a yellow talisman with you? I think you’re the magician who got in here!”

    The Life Snatching Quick Dagger Demon said sorrowfully, “Wrong! It’s just that I killed a few Taoist priests on my way here, and received their things for free. This is just the most ordinary yellow talisman, it can only deal with some small ghosts and monsters, all of you can make it here, I’m sure this talisman can’t help you, watch out!”

    After saying that, he put the yellow talisman on his forehead with a “snap”. The yellow talisman burned into a wisp of black smoke in front of his face, leaving a black scorched mark on his forehead. The fast knife demon wiped off the charred mark a few times and said, “Although this talisman can’t help me, it still managed to leave a little mark on my face. This can prove my identity, right?”

    Things like talismans, although they were used to deal with demons and devils, in turn, they could also be used to identify whether one was human or not. Life Snatching Quick Dagger Demon Finger Xie Ren said, “If you are really a puppeteer, stick this yellow talisman to your forehead. See if it leaves a mark or not, and we’ll naturally know the difference.”

    Xie Ren didn’t move, his mind racing, but he heard Hua Cheng say in a deep voice, “Nothing, brother.”

    Xie Ren knew that he was sure, so he put down Hua Cheng, calmly stepped forward, took the talisman, and pasted it on his forehead. Only to hear a burst of “zi la zi la”, the yellow talisman also burned into a wisp of black smoke, but the black smoke dissipated, Xie Ren’s forehead is still clean, without leaving a trace!

    This proved that the ghostly aura on him was tainted from the outside!

    Aside from the cloaked man holding his arms, several hundred ghosts instantly surrounded them in the center, hooting and hollering, watching as many strange and weird weapons were about to greet them, but all of them were instantly bounced off by an invisible barrier. The ghosts were shocked: “Yoho? Your skill is quite high!”

    Xie Ren spread his hands and said, “I didn’t do anything.”

    At that moment, Hanagi, who was standing behind him, spoke up.

    He walked up with his hands in the air and said, “What’s all the fuss about, you unseen country brats.”

    “Hey you little kid doll, you’ve seen the world?”

    “It’s the truth that he doesn’t have a ghostly aura on him. Who on earth are you people, quickly confess!”

    Flower City said, “Nonsense, of course he doesn’t have it on him. Because, I’m the puppeteer!”

    The words just fell, the group of ghosts will feel an extremely cold air current swept through, as if the whole piece is frozen. They were originally Yin cold physique, actually also have shivered, said: “…… How …… how …… back to the …… thing ……?”

    Flower City said, “Just letting you guys see the world a little bit.”

    He withdrew his Qi, and the group of ghosts were able to easily stop shivering. That life snatching fast knife demon had palpitations in his heart, “You …… are a puppet master, he is also a puppet master, then who is actually the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the puppet master? No no, he is definitely not, what exactly is he?”

    Before Hua Cheng could reply, Xie Ren smiled faintly and said, “I am, of course, his person.”

    The group of ghosts were confused for a while and finally figured it out:

    “So… so it’s reversed? He’s the master and you’re the puppet doll?!”

    The Life Snatching Quick Dagger Demon was skeptical, “Then why did you say that you were the puppet master before? Why did you lie?”

    Flower City smiled, “Because, I find it interesting.”

    Xie Ren also smiled, “Yes. The fact that the master finds it interesting is the most important reason.”

    After being shocked, the female ghosts put away their abruptly probing claws and tongues, and began to circle around Xie Ren again, discussing. But for some unknown reason, when the female ghosts commented on him, it was a completely different picture than when they were discussing Flower City just now, and they seemed to be much more unrestrained. For example:

    “So this little brother is the puppet doll? Oops, I like this age better, I want one more! Are you sure you don’t want to order one?”

    Xie Ren warmly said, “This …… thanks for liking it. However, I’m actually very old ……”

    “This material is human skin, right? The treatment is quite clean, and it doesn’t have the smoky, masculine odor of a living man. Master, how did you take care of him? Did you use perfume?”

    Xie Ren said, “It’s human skin. No perfume was used. Just lots of baths and lots of water.”

    “Wow it feels like this doll can be used for so many things! All sorts. The face and body are not bad eh? Looks like the skin feels pretty good too. He’s a bit skinny though, I wonder if there’s any meat inside with his clothes off hehehehehehe ……”

    Xie Ren has always maintained a modest and decent smile, seeing that there is really a female ghost with two eyes to come to touch his chest, the tip of the eyebrow slightly twitching. Hua Cheng joined his two fingers and raised them slightly, a circle of slender jade hands and withered hands were all waved away by him. Xie Ren hurriedly squatted behind Hua Cheng and hid. The female ghosts said: ”What? You also want to say, this is your doll, bad-tempered, do not like others to touch? I see that he has a good temper!”

    Hua Cheng stretched out a hand and hooked Xie Ren’s lower jaw, saying, “He does have a good temper. However, I have a bad temper. What I like, no one but me can touch.”

    Xie Ren followed his gesture and obediently raised her face, holding back her laughter to the point that her belly was twitching, but still very cooperative, looking into Hua Cheng’s eyes and sincerely saying, “No. Three …… masters have a good temper.”

    Hua Cheng also laughed, looking very satisfied. The two of them sang and harmonized, and were playing along, when a ghost from the side interjected, “I still think that he smells too much like a human being.”

    The female ghosts said, “What else do you want then?”

    The ghost said, “I heard that the padding inside the human skin puppet doll is not flesh and blood, and it will not bleed when it is stabbed, so let me stab him and try it ……” Before the words fell, it was scared by an eye blade and did not dare to make a sound.

    Hua Cheng said in a chilling voice, “Whoever dares to touch him try it. Is the thing that I hold dear to my heart for you to touch at will?”

    The group of ghosts were deterred by his aura just now, and now that he directly threatened, they didn’t dare to make any rash moves, and unconsciously, a large piece of land had been vacated in their center. The originator, the life-sapping fast knife devil, saw the situation was bad, and instead rounded off the scene: “This puppet master please don’t get angry first. Now we haven’t entered the boundary of Copper Furnace Mountain yet, what about after we enter, don’t start infighting now.”

    Hua Cheng swept his gaze to the side and said, “Instead of dwelling on my dolls, you should ask why that one over there has refused to take off his cloak until now.”

    Xie Ren side, has been standing a cloak strange guest, messed up for so long, he never removed the cloak, always holding arms to watch the drama generally stay out of it. And after Hua Cheng singled him out, the drama became unwatchable, and the protagonist became himself. The Life Snatching Quick Dagger Demon took a step forward and said, “Will this friend please remove his cloak as well and let us take a look?”

    The cloaked guest paused for a long time, and just as Xie Ren was wondering if he was waiting for an opportunity to make a move to prepare for his escape, he suddenly reached out with one hand and crisply lifted his cloak.

    Beneath the cloak was a handsome yet plain face.

    Such a person, thrown into the crowd, although not difficult to see, but will soon be forgotten, can not remember the face at all, resulting in the group of ghosts to see the true face of his Lushan are a little disappointed. However, Xie Ren’s vigilance was up.

    Hua Cheng said, “It looks like a fake face.”

    The voice could only be heard by Xie Ren, who nodded. Sometimes, when some magi or famous ghosts or monsters have to go to the mortal world for a trip, it is not convenient for them to use their real bodies, so they will put on a fake face. In this case, the main point of the disguise is to be “plain”, no matter if it looks good or bad, the plainer the better, so that even if one stares at the face for half an hour, one can turn around and forget about it right away, and only then can it be considered a successful disguise. This cloaked guest’s face is perfectly in line with this essentials, so, this face is not his real face. I just don’t know, what is the identity of this person in the end.

    The Life Snatcher handed out a yellow talisman. The cloaked guest received, half without hesitation to the forehead, ZiLaZiLaZiLa, into smoke, leaving traces.

    It seems that he is also a ghost and not a person.

    After making a scene, the group of ghosts all got a little restless and said, “Did any magi mix in here or not?”

    “Who was the first one to bring it up? Can’t be a mistake, can it?”

    The Life Snatcher Fast Dagger Demon raised his hand, “I was the first one to discover it, a thousand times over! I definitely smelled the Magus’ …… ah!”

    Who knows, when he said this, he suddenly let out a scream and fell down. Xie Ren was startled, snatching forward to take a look, there was actually an extra bloody hole in his body, piercing through the small abdomen, and, on the wound, it was really vaguely stained with a bit of the spiritual light that only a Magus would carry!

    The group of ghosts were shocked, “Look at his wounds! There really are magi mixed in with us!”

    Fast Dagger Demon covered that bloody hole and said in horror, “Everyone be careful! He wants to silence him!”

    The group of ghosts were all startled by this, as if they had exploded, holding up their weapons, hostile in all directions, and they all shouted, “Who the hell is it? Who wants to silence? Where is he hiding?!”

    After the Life Snatching Quick Dagger Demon took that hit just now, the first thought that flashed through Xie Ren’s mind was, “Sure enough, people who call themselves such pompous names are often prone to be the first to be |killed off!” Stunned, he then said, “Everyone could have seen just now, my master and I were the ones who were being watched by you all the time, we didn’t do anything.” Saying that, he glanced at the cloaked weirdo. The other party also slightly raised his hand and lowered his voice, “Same.”

    Xie Ren leaned over to check the wounds of the fast knife demon and said, “It’s a sword wound. There are …… people present who use swords. “Turning his head to take a look, he was speechless. Sword, not only in the earth and the heavenly realm is the most popular weapon, in the ghost world is also, four hundred demons and ghosts, at least more than three hundred are using the sword, can not count. Xie Ren coughed lightly and said, “If there were more yellow talismans like the square to try them all out, there would be no worries about who it is.”

    Of course, he was just talking off the top of his head and pretending to be enthusiastic. If there really was a fellow Magus mixed in, he wouldn’t want to help uncover it. It was also simply impossible for this Quick Dagger Demon to take out so many yellow talismans for backup. Who knows, just as he finished speaking, the Life Snatching Quick Dagger Demon really pulled out a thick several large stacks of yellow talismans at once, saying, “Oh, there is!”

    “……”

    Xie Ren couldn’t help but want to look behind him, “Where the hell did you pull that out of?”

    Life Snatching Quick Dagger Demon: “It doesn’t matter!”

    Xie Ren said, “No, this is very important. Usually not so much to carry so many so heavy things with you, it can be a brick to smash people to death……. How many Taoist priests did you actually kill on the way here?”

    The Life Snatching Quick Dagger Demon glared, “More than two dozen, I think.”

    …… That’s no wonder. Even if each Taoist priest carries only a few dozen yellow talismans on his person, it adds up to several hundred!

    Without further ado, the ghosts were eager to find out who was the magician lurking among them, and quickly and hastily settled the law, two by two, taking the yellow talisman and sticking it on each other’s foreheads, and then observing whether or not there were any scorched marks left on each other’s foreheads. Some of the little ghosts were still a bit scared when they saw the yellow talisman, saying, “Do I really have to stick it on? Will it break my soul ah ……”

    “It won’t be, it’s exactly the same as the talisman that was put on them just now, it’s very weak, it’ll only leave a mark at most.”

    “Oh ……”

    Hua Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, seemingly sensing something. Not long after, out of the more than four hundred ghosts, large swathes of them had that yellow talisman affixed to their foreheads, which looked weird and funny. However, nothing happened after it was affixed.

    The group of ghosts looked at each other and said, “What’s going on?”

    “Hey Fast Dagger Demon, what kind of Taoist priests did you kill? So watery that the talisman doesn’t even work?”

    Xie Ren began to feel strange, this time is even more slightly frowned, was about to speak, a female ghost pouted: “I do not paste, tear …… Huh? What’s going on? Why can’t I tear it off?”

    Several female ghosts all screamed at once: “Me too! Why can’t you tear it off?!”

    Oops!

    At the same time, Flower City said in a deep voice, “Brother, crouch down!”

    Xie Ren quickly did as he was told, and Hua Cheng quickly covered his ears. And not far away, that cloaked guest also quickly pulled on his cloak and half-squatted on the ground. Immediately after, “Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang!” A loud firecracker-like rumble resounded in the sky!
