Chapter Twenty-Three: Uncle Li and Your Uncle
These villagers who were standing in a row with lanterns did not resist at all, and were silently stabbed to the ground by Qi Zihuan one after another.
There was no blood flowing out, and all of them were dead and gray, obviously dead for a long time.
When only Xiao Ming and the two who looked like him were left, Qi Zihuan only hesitated for a moment, but still the peachwood sword was handed forward, directly piercing the abdomen.
After falling to the ground, his face changed to that of two men he did not recognize.
"Master Qi, were you okay just now?" Xiao Ming walked over and asked, his face full of self-blame.
"Don't worry, you won't be able to die for a while."
Qi Zihuan didn't have time to pay attention to him, standing there with his sword raised, frowning, staring at the corpses of the villagers scattered all over the place in a daze.
Xiao Ming was not relieved, but continued to explain: "I'm sorry, I almost hurt you. Peace Bracelet ...... It may be that I struggled desperately to get rid of the weeds after I got entangled in the water weeds. ”
"It really doesn't matter, it wasn't really Chu Renmei just now, even if there is a peace bracelet, it's useless."
"Even so, we finally found the peace bracelet, but we lost it, what if Chu Renmei really appeared later."
"I remember you seemed to be in the back pocket of your pants, and it was really easy to get lost." Qi Zihuan finally stopped observing the corpse, turned to Xiao Ming and said.
Xiao Ming looked stunned and said, "Yes, it seems to be in the back pocket of my pants, I was too careless, I'm sorry." ”
"Let's not talk about that." Qi Zihuan waved his hand, and said slowly while straightening out his thoughts, "I think what we found under the water is indeed the corpse of Chu Renmei, the one in the aquatic grass behind you." ”
"Well, I saw it before I came in here. Master Qi, where do you think we are now? ”
"It's hard to say, but if I had to guess, I think this might be a space created by Chu Renmei's resentment, dedicated to imprisoning and torturing the ghosts of the people she hated the most. Therefore, the people who attacked me just now, and the people lying on this ground, should have been those who were directly involved in the evil work back then. Qi Zihuan thought for a while, and then said, "At that time, we also saw the ghosts of some villagers in Huangshan Village, and nine of them have been overtaken by me. As far as I could see at the time, they were blinded people, so they were only trapped in the village and not detained here. ”
Xiao Ming was a little dizzy by this passage, and asked hesitantly, "That...... The self we saw, as well as the Chu Renmei we saw just now, have all become different after being eliminated by you, why is this? ”
"Hallucination, Chu Renmei's greatest ability is to create illusions." Qi Zihuan's tone became more and more affirmative, "Rubbish and Big B both died from hallucinations, and so did the other dead. We used to fight against Biggie when she possessed her, and although she was able to attack entities at that time, she was actually only able to increase the strength speed of the object she possessed, not that she couldn't deal with it. Therefore, she still has to rely on illusions to confuse her prey first, and then wait for an opportunity to attack. ”
"Master Qi, you can see through the illusion she created, you have seen more than my yin and yang eyes before."
"In the past, I only encountered the illusion of her resentment, but I could see through it at that time." Qi Zihuan sighed, and said a little weakly, "And this is the space created by her body, where the most concentrated and powerful resentment is, in this space, she can become anyone she wants, or turn any ghost trapped here into her appearance." My mana is limited, and I can't see through anything here. ”
"Aren't we going to be trapped here forever?"
"Don't worry, if you can kill us just by trapping us here, then why do you want to control that male ghost to turn into her and attack me?"
"yes, I haven't even thought about it, why?"
Qi Zihuan finally realized the reason why Mr. Mao likes to summarize and analyze with Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming is really an excellent praiser.
He then calmly analyzed: "Because there is a flaw in this space, as long as we find that flaw, we can get out of here, and even turn defeat into victory." She's afraid we'll find the flaw, so she'll try to kill us again soon. ”
"Did you find a flaw?" Xiao Ming looked expectant.
"Not ...... yet"
……
The two of them were analyzing the present state when they suddenly heard the sound of singing in the empty barren mountains.
"Do you remember to continue to be kind and have been in other branches,
Do you have no place to stay in the old love,
If there is a mother, fatherless, and an orphan,
Wife!
Do you know if I have been sick for a long time and have become tuberculosis?
Soon I will die of grief for you!
……”
"This is "Selling Meat to Raise Orphans"! The real Chu people's beauty is here! "Xiao Ming often listened to his girlfriend Annie sing this paragraph when she was delirious a while ago, so I heard it at once.
Qi Zihuan shook his head and said, "The voice is not very similar, and there are many problems with this singing skill, not like Chu Renmei." Let's take a look first. ”
Just kidding, Aunt Mei is a famous Cantonese opera singer, can she sing at this level!
Sure enough, it's not Chu Renmei.
Walking on the mountain path was a child carrying a bamboo basket, which was covered with a white cloth, and it was impossible to see what was inside. He sang a song as he walked, and soon came to Qi Zihuan's side.
The child suddenly saw two strangers standing on the road, and there was a corpse at his feet, and he was so frightened that he sat on the ground, and the bamboo basket in his hand was also knocked over, it was some incense, candles, and paper money.
I heard him tremble and ask, "This is the person you killed?" ”
Qi Zihuan stared at the child and replied tentatively: "We didn't kill them, these people would have died a long time ago." ”
The child had the courage to look at the corpses on the ground, recognized them as village elders, and shouted: "This is Second Uncle Wang!" This is Uncle Li! No, they died a long time ago, and Aunt Mei killed them. ”
"The beautiful aunt you are talking about is Chu Renmei?" Qi Zihuan heard the child call Aunt Mei, and he probably had a plan in his heart.
"Yes, Aunt Mei's maiden name is Chu." The child was not guarded, but after answering, he began to talk to himself, "But it shouldn't be Aunt Mei, I obviously buried her again, she should be resting in peace." Why are you digging it up and putting it here? ”
Xiao Ming always felt that this child was a little familiar, and asked, "Little friend, what is your name?" Why did you come to this wilderness at night? ”
"My name is Xiaoqiang, and I'm here to burn paper for Aunt Mei, so that she can live comfortably over there, and don't remember the grievances suffered here."
"Xiaoqiang?" Xiao Ming suddenly thought that the old man named Li Qiang was always called Xiao Qiang by Chu Renmei when he was a child, and suddenly blurted out: "Uncle Li!" ”
"I've told you everything you asked, why are you scolding people all of a sudden!"
Xiao Ming didn't react yet, but still said: "I didn't scold, I'll ask you, are you Uncle Li?" ”
“…… I'm your uncle! ”
