Chapter 22: Seeking and Being Found
Hearing Chu Mengqi's explanation, Xia Qi couldn't help but recall the appointment with Wu Di, Wu Di's explanation of the three exchanges for ghost objects, among which the "possession" exchange was similar to the doppelganger of the monkey......
I think that the monkey is possessed by a dead corpse, and then through the cultivation and manipulation ability of his corpse keeper, he gradually cultivates a dead corpse into a living corpse.
"I originally thought that the corpse keeper was a branch of the spell owner, and it turned out that the ghost hostage person could also be the corpse keeper."
"Corpse keepers don't need mana, as long as they master the methods of cultivation and summoning, anyone can become a corpse keeper. However, ordinary people only dare to raise corpses but do not dare to raise ghosts, but like monkeys, they can cultivate some powerful ghosts. ”
After Chu Mengqi finished speaking, he sighed several times in a row, and Xia Qi didn't say anything, after all, the current crisis has not been resolved, maybe he doesn't have to wait for the monkey to come and retaliate, he has already been killed by this curse.
The purpose of their return here this time was not to see the corpse of the monkey, but to verify a guess in Xia Qi's heart.
However, this suspicion has now been confirmed, as Niu Ang's body is lying on the ground in a stiff manner.
As for his luggage, it was gone, and there was no doubt that it was taken by Lu Runan, who had fled.
"You really said it, Niu Ang really stayed here and didn't leave."
Chu Mengqi looked at Niu Ang's corpse in disgust, this person is not a good product, he is also a beast who does not treat ordinary people as people. I don't know how many innocents have been killed.
"Phew"
Spat at Niu Ang, Chu Mengqi turned his head in relief. Xia Qi, who was contemplative to the front dew, asked:
"Do you have any new ideas now?"
"One thing should be confirmed."
Xia Qi nodded nondeniably.
"What is it?"
"This stone." Xia Qi said and clenched a little harder, and waved at Chu Mengqi and Leng Yue:
"This stone must not be lost, if I guess correctly, as long as I throw this stone out, the ghost will appear and kill me later."
"If you just hold this stone, you can survive and get rid of the curse?"
Chu Mengqi was more or less skeptical about Xia Qi's statement.
"I don't know if I'll be able to get rid of the curse with it all the time. But it must not be discarded. ”
After that. Xia Qi and the three of them went around Tongbei Village again, but no matter how they walked, they would return to the same place, and there was no way to leave the village.
Seeing that there was no way to leave, the three of them directly found a mound to sit down and rest, during which Chu Mengqi had a new idea:
"Since we were cursed, all the owners of the ghost hostages, whether it is the ghost energy or the ghost power, have almost disappeared, but the owners of the spells have not been affected in the slightest.
Don't you think this situation is a lot of an illustration?"
After Chu Mengqi finished speaking, Xia Qi suddenly thought of something. Listen to him say:
"You mean to say that the spell owners are not cursed, only those of us who are hostages."
"yes, that's it."
Chu Mengqi clapped her hands a little excitedly. Then he glanced at the cold moon sitting next to Xia Qi:
"Senior brother, if my guess is correct, only you can leave this village."
Leng Yue didn't speak, but her originally expressionless face showed a little anger at this time.
"That ghost spell was sealed by the master before, so there must be some fear of the owner of the spell. Fear of being sealed again. Of course, it may also be that it doesn't have the ability to seal mana, but in short, you're not on the cursed list. ”
"What the hell are you trying to say?"
Leng Yue interrupted Chu Mengqi impatiently.
"I mean, since Senior Brother is not cursed, then there is no need to follow us on an adventure."
Hearing Chu Mengqi say this, Leng Yue's expression instantly turned cold:
"I'm not going to walk on my own."
Leng Yue's attitude is very tough, in fact, even if Leng Yue doesn't say it, Xia Qi can guess that with Leng Yue's character, he will definitely not leave them here.
"Well, I'm just talking."
Chu Mengqi saw that Leng Yue's attitude was so tough, she had to shrug her shoulders helplessly, and she didn't say anything anymore.
It was Leng Yue, after bowing her head and being silent for a while, she said to Chu Mengqi and Leng Yue with some difficulty:
"I'm the one who has caused you trouble this time, and I will definitely find a way to get you out of trouble."
"Senior brother, if you say that, I will be embarrassed to see you again in the future. Speaking of which, if I hadn't met you here, and this cursed event, I'm afraid you'd have to go to some barren grave to see me this time next year. ”
Let Leng Yue say such a thing, Xia Qi felt that it was even more difficult than killing him, which showed that Leng Yue was indeed quite self-blaming in her heart this time.
After all, this mess was left by his master, and now it not only trapped them, but also made Tongbei Village directly become one, you can imagine how painful Leng Yue's heart will be.
Xia Qi sighed in his heart, and slowly took the stone in his hand to his eyes.
Looking at this stone, thinking back to the way the ghost gave this stone to Niu Ang, and when he handed it over to himself, Xia Qi couldn't help but mutter:
"Curse Rules, Stones, Leave"
muttered a few times like this, Xia Qi's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he laughed excitedly:
"Haha, I see, I know how to unravel this curse."
Hearing Xia Qi's laughter, Chu Mengqi and Leng Yue also subconsciously looked over, Xia Qi pointed to the stone in his hand at this time and said:
"Do you remember when the ghost gave this stone to Niu Ang?"
"Remember, what's wrong."
"After the ghost thing handed over this stone to Niu Ang, he quickly left, right?"
"What does that mean" Chu Mengqi didn't understand what Xia Qi meant.
"Aside from Niu Ang, go back to myself, and think about it, when the ghost thing handed me this stone, it also disappeared in a very short time.
And it can't help but make me wonder if this stone will represent an identity.
The identities of the seeker and the hiding.
The one who gets the stone is the Seeker, and the Hider can be killed if it is found.
As for those who do not have stones, they must find a way not to be found by the seekers.
Niu Ang was killed because he threw away the stone, which was seen as giving up, and giving up was tantamount to violating the rules of the curse, so he was killed by the ghost.
The reason why the ghost can kill us, but it doesn't, is undoubtedly because it created the curse, and at the same time, it was bound by the rules of the curse.
And now that this stone is in my hand, it means that I am a seeker, and if I find that ghost, I can kill it."
