Chapter 929: Runemaster
The spring is cold, and the frost kills the young.
In the early morning of spring, the cold wind is still cold, blowing from the water, with a breath of moisture, blowing on people's bodies to make people feel wet and cold, through the thick coat, making people's skin feel bursts of tingling.
Mingchuan stood by the river, feeling a little indescribably mixed.
He didn't know if he should be surprised or shocked, but on the contrary, he had a thought of "so it was, it really was", as if deep down in his heart he had expected it.
The black humanoid form composed of soul fragments of Li Yanchen, Xu Ai, Gong Xiaoyue and others, the final destination was the Meili River.
Ming Chuan glanced at Wei Zitang beside him, and saw that he looked indifferent, as if nothing had happened and nothing was known, his face was not wavering, and he looked at the water calmly.
Seeing this, Ming Chuan quietly withdrew his gaze and continued to look at the black figure that had floated to the middle of the river.
The humanoid emotions that have evolved to the third order have stabilized, and they are not as neurotic as before, and the tone of their speech seems to have changed from a person, and they are more inclined to Xu Ai's tone style when he speaks than before.
The humanoid ghost who has regained his senses, for some reason, looks very depressed, and his attitude towards Mingchuan is also very cold and detached, but there is no hostility, and it looks more like he is deliberately avoiding him.
On the way here, Ming Chuan has already determined the memory of this humanoid, knowing that it has fragments of some of the memories of those people, the content is intermittent, it is difficult to find any key information from it, and at the same time, it can feel some of the feelings of the original owner from these fragments, and know some of the thoughts of the original owner before his death, so to speak, this humanoid was in a state of confusion before and in the second order, whether it was consciousness, memory or personality.
After reaching the third order, the chaotic state of the humanoid form stabilized, and the memories and consciousness of all those people were integrated, and it seemed to be much more stable than before.
Although this humanoid has no facial features and cannot show a human expression, Ming Chuan can still see some confusion and confusion in it. It may be that he has been with Ying Lan for a long time, and he has become very accustomed to this kind of "thing" that is completely black and black, and even has some long-lost intimacy with it, so he will feel familiar with some of its "expressions" and can understand the psychological fluctuations displayed by these "expressions".
The human figure floated on the surface of the river for a moment and then floated back.
"What's wrong?" Ming Chuan asked puzzled when he saw it turn back.
"There's someone up ahead. The humanoid raised his hand and pointed in the direction it had just gone.
Ming Chuan looked ahead, because the light was too dim, he couldn't see anything clearly, but it wasn't vague enough that there were indeed some figures swaying by the river.
"Who will it be at this time?" Mingchuan touched his chin and wondered.
"Just go over and take a look?" Wei Zitang said as he took a step forward and walked forward.
Seeing this, Ming Chuan also raised his heels.
As he got closer, Ming Chuan noticed that there were not just one or two people in front of him, but several figures walking around the river, and everyone was not moving much, as if everyone was going back and forth in a small circle.
There was a fluctuation of energy in the surrounding air, this fluctuation Ming Chuan was very familiar, it was very common recently, and he quickly understood in his heart that this was the energy fluctuation of the magic circle.
After realizing this, the identities of the strange people in front of them also surfaced.
"Aren't they all exorcists?"
"Even if it's the Gao Shan family, it's impossible to gather so many exorcists. Wei Zitang said, "These people should be rune masters specially trained by the Gao Shan family. ”
"Rune Master?" From Takayama Kaguya, Ming Chuan probably knew some of the internal situation of the Takayama family, so he was no stranger to this so-called "rune master".
As Wei Zitang said, even if it is the Gaoshan family, it is impossible to gather too many exorcists, after all, the number of exorcists is so rare, it is not easy to find one.
Although the number of ghosts is not much, it is still much more than that of exorcists. In order to maintain the balance of ghosts and monsters in various places, the Takayama family needs a large number of exorcists, but talents in the profession of exorcists are hard to find, and in order to make up for these vacancies, the Takayama family can only find a way to cultivate themselves.
Some people are born with higher senses than others and have an extraordinary sensitivity to ghosts. Some people will feel eerie and cold when they go to a place with a strong ghostly atmosphere, such as a cemetery, and their whole body will feel unwell, and this discomfort will affect their psyche and produce a fear of not knowing what is going on. Some people don't feel that way at all.
Those who don't know will think that those who feel uncomfortable are timid, afraid of the dark, afraid of ghosts, but strangely, some people who are very bold will also feel the same discomfort. It's not really a matter of guts, it's their innate sensitivity that is at work.
This naturally sensitive person is more receptive to ghost energy than others. The Takayama family had some ideas. They tried their best to find such naturally sensitive people, and brought them back to the Gaoshan family through some means, and conducted some special training with the descendants of the Gaoshan family, hoping to cultivate a group of exorcists through these special trainings.
This special training method of the Gao Shan family has also achieved certain results. One or two out of a hundred people who have undergone special training will become exorcists. This sounds like a very low success rate, but compared to the percentage of natural exorcists, it is quite impressive.
For every hundred people who receive special training, only one or two people can become exorcists, and this kind of efficiency is not unacceptable for the Gao Shan family, but it is very uneconomical. The remaining ninety-nine people can't just be wasted. In addition, although it is possible to train exorcists through this kind of special training, it is still not enough in terms of quantity, and these exorcists who have passed special training are also somewhat lacking in ability compared to natural exorcists.
In order to make up for the financial effort and fill the vacancy of the exorcist, the Takayama family came up with other ideas.
These people gathered by the Gaoshan family, because of their natural sensibilities are sharper than ordinary people, coupled with some special training, although they have not been able to become exorcists, they can do some other things, such as using rune paper, carving runes, and even some can successfully arrange magic circles. The Gaoshan family called them "rune masters".
These runemasters cannot see ghosts and cannot perform the work of exorcism alone, but they can be auxiliary helpers, assisting the exorcists to a large extent in their work. At the same time, it is also the most important thing for them to be able to carry out some preliminary arrangements and follow-up processing work, which is very helpful for exorcists.
These rune masters in front of him, if Ming Chuan didn't guess wrong, they were maintaining a relatively special magic circle.
