Chapter 251: Luo Wang's Divine Makeup
"As if Aided by God" was a quite powerful blessing.
But as Wu Xian had speculated, there was a price to pay for exerting such a powerful blessing.
At this time, all abilities other than the blessing on Lou Yaozong's body were temporarily sealed; now he was just an ordinary middle-aged fatty, unable to help anymore.
Without the threat of the authentic Yan King.
Luo Wang Da Gui's nervous mood also relaxed, and he continued his work.
Many opera troupes in this world had some unique taboos.
For example, once you start acting, you must finish, because "Once the play begins, all eight directions listen; one direction is for humans, three directions for ghosts, and four directions for deities."
Do not cross boxes with two feet, do not hug knees backstage, deity masks must be placed face down after use, do not move them randomly, etc...
Among them, when a person plays Guan Gong, they cannot speak backstage after painting the divine makeup, otherwise, they will invite disaster.
And what Luo Wang Da Gui painted on Yan Ting's face was something similar.
This was the preparatory work he had to do to steal the divine throne.
Before the auspicious day and time, he personally painted the divine makeup on the descendant of the Yan family, so that the descendant of the Yan family would have divinity, and then he would occupy the descendant's flesh, and could truly transition from ghost to human by virtue of the original cause and effect.
Since this matter was so important, why didn't Luo Wang Da Gui paint the portrait in advance?
It was a matter of great importance for deification.
Painting divine makeup on Yan Ting's face involved many more rules and taboos than the pear garden industry; Luo Wang Da Gui didn't have many choices, and to avoid being disturbed, he set up triple defenses around himself!
Ten years ago on Yan Jie.
He hadn't reached this step yet when he was forcibly interrupted; this time he had made sufficient preparations and would definitely not repeat the same mistake.
Seeing the six ghosts rushing over.
Lou Yaozong said quickly: "Don't stand on tiptoe, stay away from windows, water sources, and screens; when you feel sleepy, find a way to wake up immediately; pay attention to the Ball-Bouncing Ghost's ball!"
For Wu Xian and the others, these six Yin Commanders no longer had any secrets; their abilities had all been figured out, so they weren't too big a threat.
But Luo Wang Da Gui laughed out loud when he heard Wu Xian's words: "Do you really think I would be stupid enough to use the methods you've already cracked to protect myself?"
Wu Xian frowned.
Without Luo Wang saying it, he could see that these six ghosts were different from before.
The most obvious was that their invisibility abilities had all disappeared.
Then there were ghosts that originally needed specific conditions to appear, such as the Water Ghost needing a water surface with a diameter greater than ten centimeters; but in the Altar to Connect to Heaven, such conditions couldn't be met.
Yet they still appeared abruptly in front of everyone.
Additionally...
Luo Wang Da Gui's words, weren't they a bit too many?
From the moment Wu Xian and the others entered the door.
This guy had been commenting a few times, with a tone just like the kind of villain often seen in movies and TV shows.
It wasn't that Wu Xian hadn't seen ghosts that could talk, such as the Ghost Mother Seeking Her Child, but most ghosts were relatively cold; ghosts that talked a lot did so to break the human mind, like the Belly Ghost who often talked trash.
But like Luo Wang.
Wu Xian was seeing a ghost that behaved like an ordinary "chatterbox" human for the first time; Luo Wang would even specifically tell stories to Yan Ting, vent his grievances, and try to prove that the Yan family had wronged him.
Such a performance...
Was a bit too anthropomorphic.
What was the reason for all this?
A thought flashed through Wu Xian's mind.
Perhaps Luo Wang Da Gui being like this was normal; he was half-god and half-ghost, and his divinity and ghostliness influenced each other; what was expressed was the humanity at the boundary...
Between thoughts.
The six ghosts had already attacked.
The first to attack was the Screen Ghost; she twisted her black hair into several sharp thorns and rushed toward Shi Ji with a scream, having an attitude of not caring about anything.
She had been harmed too miserably by Shi Ji.
Even after multiple rebirths, she still held a bone-deep hatred for Shi Ji.
But by now, Shi Ji had accumulated various deity-worship props, which could be called a complete form; how could he easily let her get close?
"Get lost!"
Shi Ji let out a roar, the deafening sound waves surged, instantly shattering the black-haired spear; then he stepped forward, and the "Hui" character blade cut off the head of the stunned Screen Ghost, which fell to the ground and was kicked away by Sun Qian using a soccer ball.
On the other side.
Liao Yifang twisted off the head of the Ball-Bouncing Ghost.
Qian Yunhe used a nine-section whip to whip the Jumping-Building Ghost into glass shards all over the ground.
Zhang Wei "backstabbed" the Upper-Body Ghost and Bed-Pressing Ghost openly...
At a glance.
The battle situation seemed very favorable to the Lotus Juanren.
But Wu Xian's heart sank, because he didn't know when, but a new Screen Ghost had actually appeared in the corner, baring her fangs and brandishing her claws as she ran over, preparing for a second attack...
These six ghosts abandoned their special abilities, but what they got in exchange was a terrifying speed of rebirth!
Perhaps...
They hadn't blocked Lou Yaozong's smoke dragon just now.
But were constantly repeating the process of death and rebirth, using their ghostly bodies to cancel out the Yan King's power!
These guys couldn't be killed at all.
How to fight this?
The battle between humans and ghosts lasted for a while; Wu Xian and the others killed these six ghosts many times, consuming many means, but there was no substantial progress.
If they continued like this, they would be exhausted to death by those six ghosts.
Just at this time.
Suddenly, a huge figure jumped down from the sky; this person's head was normal size, but his body looked like it had been inflated, as if wearing a funny muscle suit.
This person was Miao Shi!
As soon as Miao Shi appeared, he attracted the ghosts' attention; the gloomy eyes were filled with doubt, and Miao Shi's bloated appearance did indeed look very deterrent.
The ghosts' gaze put a lot of pressure on Miao Shi.
So he let out a roar and stomped his feet hard, wanting to use his momentum to deter the ghosts, and then he stepped on the glass shards left behind by the Jumping-Building Ghost's death.
*Pfft... *
Miao Shi was leaking air!
The Five Blessings Ghosts in his body flowed out along with the gas, making Miao Shi's muscles deflate at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At this time, Miao Shi was sallow and emaciated, his body turned black, and his eye sockets and cheeks were sunken, as if he were about to be sucked dry; he limped and crawled to Wu Xian's side.
Wu Xian was quite speechless.
This guy's flashy entrance just now even made Wu Xian have the illusion that he could handle those six immortal ghosts; I didn't expect this guy to break down before even making a move!
Miao Shi whispered beside Wu Xian: "There is only one chance; you must grasp it, otherwise you will fall short of success!"
Wu Xian finally realized.
Miao Shi's embarrassment was intentional!
The five-colored Qi he leaked aggregated into a gas mass in the center of the room; the Five Blessings Ghosts struggled and wrestled with each other, finally condensing into a piece of five-colored meat.
This meat radiated five-colored brilliance, with a texture like a five-colored jelly, containing luster inside, and surrounded by blessings; not only was there no trace of evil, but it had a huge attraction to all ghosts!
Looking at the Screen Ghost's pale little face, almost drooling, Wu Xian understood the purpose of the Five Blessings Ghosts.
They were prepared to use themselves as bait, attracting those six ghosts to eat them!
