Mysterious country

Hearing Chu Mengqi's explanation, Xia Qi couldn't help but recall the meeting with Wu Di. Wu Di's explanation of the three exchanges for ghost substances, among which the "possession" exchange was similar to a clone like a monkey.

It seems that the monkey possessed a dead corpse, and then gradually turned the dead corpse into a living corpse through his corpse keeper's ability to cultivate and control the corpse.

"I originally thought that corpse keepers were a branch of spell owners. It turns out that people with ghost bodies can also be corpse keepers."

"Corpse keepers don't need magic power. 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 not ghosts, but monkeys can cultivate some powerful ghosts. .”

After Chu Mengqi finished speaking, she sighed several times, and Xia Qi didn't say anything else. After all, the current crisis has not been resolved yet, and he might have been killed by the curse without waiting for the monkey to come to take revenge.

The purpose of their return here this time was not to see the monkey's body, but to verify a guess in Xia Qi's mind.

However, this guess has now been verified, because Niu Ang's body is lying on the ground in a stiff manner.

As for his luggage bag, it was gone and was undoubtedly taken away by Lu Runan who escaped.

"As you said, Niu Ang really stayed here and didn't leave."

Chu Mengqi looked at Niu Ang's body with disgust. This man was not a good person. He was also a beast who did not regard ordinary people as human beings. He had killed countless innocent people.

"Pooh!"

After spitting at Niu Ang, Chu Mengqi turned around in relief and asked Xia Qi, who was looking thoughtful:

"Any new ideas now?"

"One thing should be confirmed."

Xia Xia Qi nodded in disbelief.

"What is it?"

"This stone." Xia Qi said, clenching it a little tighter and waving it towards Chu Mengqi and Leng Yue:

"This stone must not be thrown away. If my guess is correct, as long as I throw this stone out, the ghost will appear and kill me later."

"Can I survive as long as I hold this stone? Can I get rid of the curse?"

Chu Mengqi was somewhat skeptical about Xia Qi's statement.

"I don't know if keeping it around will get rid of the curse, but I can't throw it away."

After that, Xia Qi and the other three walked around Tongbei Village again. As a result, no matter how they walked, they would always return to the same place and could not leave the village at all.

Seeing that there was no way to leave, the three of them directly found a mound of dirt to sit down and rest. During this period, Chu Mengqi had a new idea:

"Ever since we were cursed, all the owners of ghost substances, whether ghost energy or ghost power, have almost disappeared, but the owners of spells have not been affected at all.

Don’t you think this situation seems to be illustrating a problem? "

After Chu Mengqi finished speaking, Xia Qi suddenly thought of something and heard him say:

"What you mean is that the spell owners are not cursed, only those of us with ghostly bodies are cursed."

"Right, that is it."

Chu Mengqi clapped her hands excitedly, and then glanced at Leng Yue, who was sitting next to Xia Qi:

"Senior brother, if my guess is correct, you can definitely leave this village on your own."

Leng Yue didn't speak, but his originally expressionless face now showed a little anger.

"That ghost curse was sealed by the master before, so it will definitely be afraid of the owner of the spell, afraid of being sealed again. Of course, it may also be that it does not have the ability to seal mana. In short, you are not cursed anymore On the list.”

"what do you want to say in the end."

Leng Yue interrupted Chu Mengqi impatiently.

"I mean, since senior brother is not cursed, there is no need to take risks with us."

Hearing what Chu Mengqi said, Leng Yue's expression instantly turned cold:

"I can't walk on my own."

Leng Yue's attitude was very tough. In fact, even if Leng Yue didn't say anything, Xia Qi could guess it. Leng Yue's character would never leave them here.

"Okay, I'm just talking."

Seeing Leng Yue's tough attitude, Chu Mengqi had no choice but to shrug her shoulders and said nothing more.

Leng Yue, on the other hand, lowered her head and was silent for a while, then said to Chu Mengqi and Leng Yue with some difficulty:

"I am the one who got you into trouble this time. 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 kind of curse incident happened, I'm afraid you would have to go to some deserted grave to meet me at this time next year. "

Xia Qi felt that it was even harder for Leng Yue to say such words than to kill him, which showed that Leng Yue was indeed blaming herself this time.

After all, this mess was left by his master. Now it not only trapped them, but also turned Tongbei Village into a ghost village. One can imagine how painful Leng Yue's heart would be.

Xia Tian Qi sighed in his heart and slowly brought the stone in his hand to his eyes.

Looking at the stone and recalling the behavior of the ghost when he handed the stone to Niu Ang and when he handed it over to himself, Xia Tian Qi could not help but murmur:

"Curse rules, stones, leave..."

After muttering like this several times, Xia Xia Qi's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he laughed excitedly:

"Haha, I know, I know how to break this curse."

Hearing Xia Qi's laughter, Chu Mengqi and Leng Yue also looked over subconsciously. Xia Qi pointed at the stone in his hand and said:

"Do you still remember what happened when the ghost gave this stone to Niu Ang?"

"Remember, what's wrong?"

"After the ghost handed the stone to Niu Ang, he left quickly, right?"

"What does that mean?" Chu Mengqi didn't understand what Xia Qi meant.

"Let's not talk about Niu Ang, but back to myself, think about it, when the ghost handed this stone to me, it also disappeared in a very short period of time.

And this also made me think about whether this stone could represent an identity.

The identities of seekers and hiders.

The one who obtains the stone is the seeker, and the hider who is found can be killed.

As for those without stones, they are hiders, and they must find ways not to be found by seekers.

Niu Ang was killed because he threw away the stone, which was regarded as giving up. Giving up was equivalent to violating the rules of the curse, so he was killed by the ghost.

The reason why the ghost clearly could kill us but did not do so is undoubtedly because it formulated this curse and was also bound by the rules of this curse.

And now that this stone is in my hand, it means that I am a seeker. As long as I find the ghost, I can kill it! "
