Chapter 71 The Sixth Copy
Gu Wuji was very perceptive at this time and immediately praised Qi Yunxiu. The latter's face flushed slightly, and he was obviously very happy.
In a secluded place, Qi Yunxiu handed the lantern to Gu Wuji. When he touched it, the voice of the system suddenly sounded in his mind.
[Got the prop: white lantern. This is a white lantern made by a special method. It is said that it can play a role in exorcising evil spirits, but it will occasionally attract some more powerful ghosts. Its proper use is probably for lighting. ]
Gu Wuji couldn't help but start to think, can the red lantern also be taken away by some special method and turned into a prop... But this is really too risky, he doesn't want to try it.
Qi Yunxiu also told Gu Wuji what the village chief's wife said. For some unspeakable shame, he didn't mention the friend part, but only mentioned the part that seemed to insult the village chief.
Gu Wuji nodded. This passage is actually not very useful. After all, they all know that the village chief is not a human being.
But it seems that the village chief's wife obviously knows a lot of things, and is inclined to their side. Maybe we can find out something from her.
The two returned to their residence, and the others were already waiting inside.
"I think we should go to the village chief's house tonight." Gu Wuji said: "The ceremony is the day after tomorrow. I guess the village chief should do something to complete the ceremony tonight... Maybe we can find more clues about the main line by following him."
"That makes sense." Qi Yunxiu said immediately.
The people around him thought that what Gu Wuji said was very reliable. Now when they heard Qi Yunxiu's words, they agreed with him, but also felt that something was wrong. Is Qi Yunxiu such a character?
"Even if the village chief is not here, we can go to the house to investigate. I guess there are still many useful things in the village chief's house. Just like the notebook we saw in Aying's memory before, the village chief's house should also have it." Gu Wuji pondered.
"I think it's very good." Qi Yunxiu immediately joined in.
Others: "..." Wait, this is too obvious. The speed of answering the question has almost collapsed the character.
Is this really the cold and cruel Qi Yunxiu, and not replaced by someone else?
"Of course you want to do other things, or stay in the house." Gu Wuji said again: "After all, it's not convenient if there are too many people."
Qi Yunxiu looked at the others coldly: "I think it's enough for the two of us. Others will definitely get in the way."
Everyone: "..."
Sure enough, Qi Yunxiu is still the same Qi Yunxiu! I didn't expect that he might be a gay! For a moment, everyone couldn't help but feel a little angry again, feeling that Gu Wuji was such a good person, but Qi Yunxiu was thinking about him. He really wanted too much!
But this is someone else's business after all, and everyone didn't have the courage to speak out, so they had to nod. How dare they go out with Qi Yunxiu in the middle of the night.
Xiao Cheng's heart jumped, fearing that the two of them would do something. It was obvious that he was only a few steps away from successfully passing this copy, and he must not be ruined by them! It would be best if the two of them could be killed together tonight.
Xiao Cheng immediately said, "Can you take me with you?"
Qi Yunxiu said, "What do you want to do?"
Receiving Qi Yunxiu's cold gaze, Xiao Cheng cursed this dead gay in his heart, and then looked at Gu Wuji with sincere eyes, "I have also inquired about some things about the village chief before, which may be helpful this time, so I'd better go with you tonight, so as not to miss anything."
Xiao Cheng had said so much, even if Qi Yunxiu was unhappy with him, he couldn't say anything, and the three of them prepared to set off tonight.
As for the others, they decided to wait in the house and not go out casually. After all, it was so dangerous at night, and they might give their heads away if they went out. It's better to let the powerful big guys do this.
Soon the sky darkened, and the fog began to spread throughout the village.
Looking out of the window, there was a white fog, and only the light of the red lanterns hanging on the surrounding buildings could be vaguely seen, giving people a weird and gloomy feeling.
Seeing that the time was almost up, the three of them immediately held up white lanterns and walked into the mist under the awe of others.
As soon as they stepped into the mist, they felt a chill that almost penetrated their bones. It seemed that their bodies were frozen as they breathed. This mist was obviously not ordinary mist, but the materialization of a large amount of Yin Qi.
The white lanterns in their hands seemed to be specially customized for this time, emitting a faint white light. The surrounding Yin Qi actually kept a certain distance and did not completely surround the few people.
Xiao Cheng followed at the end, staring at the two people in front with cold eyes, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
At night, it was completely okay to call this village a ghost village. Just relying on the things he secretly investigated here in the past few days and the means he arranged, it was enough to kill Sun Shi and Qi Yunxiu several times!
Feeling that he was almost at the place he had arranged before, Xiao Cheng took a deep breath and quietly took out a prop in his hand. It looked like just an ordinary ring, but the moment it came out, the ghosts around were faintly attracted.
Xiao Cheng certainly knew that these ordinary ghosts would not be able to do anything to the two men in front, but this was only the first step.
Qi Yunxiu, who was walking in front, suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked forward vigilantly. In the white mist, he could vaguely see the shadow of a big tree at the fork in the road not far away, and a black shadow was hanging on it and swaying constantly.
Qi Yunxiu's face turned cold, and he immediately took out the props he had prepared with him.
The few people did not move, but the tree was closer to them, as if the tree was moving by itself.
Almost in the blink of an eye, a hideous face appeared in front of everyone, and the body suddenly approached Qi Yunxiu, who was closest to him, "I died so miserably..."
Qi Yunxiu stared at the ghost coldly with his other eye.
The ghost paused and chose to look at Gu Wuji on the other side, "I died so miserably..."
Gu Wuji looked at him in astonishment, "It's you."
This ghost turned out to be the ghost that Gu Wuji caught at the beginning when they entered the weird village yesterday.
Xiao Cheng: "???" Tell me how many ghosts in this village do you know? !
If he hadn't seen Gu Wuji using props with his own eyes, Xiao Cheng would have suspected that he was a ghost disguised as a player.
The ghost looked at Gu Wuji with a look of a stranger, as if he had no idea what he was talking about. He opened his mouth and wanted to bite him -
and then was punched in the face by Gu Wuji.
It seemed to have just realized what kind of evil spirits the two people in front of it were, and turned around and wanted to leave, but forgot that its neck was still hanging on the tree.
After a while, the ghost was restrained by Gu Wuji again.
Looking at Gu Wuji's skillful action of binding the ghost, Xiao Cheng couldn't help but sweat on his face.
"Since we met, this is also fate." Gu Wuji said: "It seems that you have improved a lot compared to before... Do you really have no impression of me?"
The ghost was trembling with fear and said: "I don't know! This is really the first time I see you! I swear!"
"Is that so?" Gu Wuji frowned, feeling that the ghost didn't seem to be lying.
He was even more certain that what he and Qi Yunxiu had entered before might be some kind of illusion built based on a certain point in the past, rather than a real period of time in the past.
Although everything in that illusion was very real, it had nothing to do with reality. It could only serve to embarrass players like them and provide some clues.
As for the rope that Gu Wuji brought from it... taking something out of the illusion was nothing, even taking someone out of it was not a problem. This was a supernatural copy that could not be inferred by common sense, and an even more magical system.
"Then do you remember when was your last ghost marriage, and when did you become smarter?"
"How do you know..." The ghost felt that this human was more and more weird after saying this, and hurriedly said: "The last ghost marriage was a month ago. I also changed at that time, because I absorbed a lot of Yin energy, and I felt that my mind began to clear up."
"You are not lying, are you? How could your IQ be improved to this level in just one month!" Qi Yunxiu stared at the ghost coldly and said threateningly: "If you are hiding something from us, Sun Shi is a good person and will not bother with you, but don't think I will let you go."
Ghost: "..." Is this Sun Shi really a good person? ! He clearly feels more terrifying than Qi Yunxiu!
"I've said it all! I never lied." The ghost said in a panic: "That ghost marriage, although I don't know what happened, it seems to have failed... After that, the yin energy in the village became thicker, and the ghosts became stronger and stronger."
"I see..." "So that's why..."
"So the villagers were quite anxious, and immediately decided to hold another ghost marriage in a short time. It seems that the success of this ceremony is related to the future of the village. And then you outsiders just happened to run into it." In order to prove himself, the ghost hurriedly said, "Anyway, it's just your bad luck."
"If that was a month ago, everything would make sense. The village looked only subtly different from now, and the villagers looked almost the same as now. The time span doesn't seem to have passed more than ten years..." Gu Wu Ji nodded, and then his tone was a little regretful, "If there was nothing wrong with this village, it would be nice to let some ghosts come here for further study. They have grown so much in just one month."
Xiao Cheng: "..." What the hell are you talking about? ! And why did Qi Yunxiu look at Sun Shi with approval even though he was like this? Don't you think there is something wrong?!
Xiao Cheng couldn't help but curse Qi Yunxiu in his heart again, saying that he was a love-dead gay. Fortunately, he got rid of these two guys right away.
As for Gu Wuji's inference, Xiao Cheng was also shocked. He didn't expect that they were already close to the truth, but in this case, he couldn't let these two people investigate further!
Gu Wuji was still thinking over there. In this way, the failure of the ghost marriage should be related to the girl in the sedan chair. And he didn't know her true identity yet. If he had to deal with the mountain god, she should be the key.
At least, the other party helped them in that illusion and had no ill intentions. He should be a good person.
And if he wants to find the other party, it would be best to get a book with such information. They can't go to the cave rashly. Now they can only hope that there are similar things in the village chief's residence.
Gu Wuji said: "It's getting late, let's keep going."
Qi Yunxiu nodded, but found something strange, as if they were missing someone.
"Xiao Cheng is missing." Gu Wuji frowned, "When? Just now he seemed to have been following us... Could it be that he was taken away by the ghost without knowing it?"
"Who cares? It's a good thing that he's gone." Qi Yunxiu sneered. He had long disliked Xiao Cheng. He was the kind of hypocritical person he hated the most... Under the face of a good person, everything he did was just to use others to gain benefits for himself.
"No, we must find him." Gu Wuji said: "What's more, if the ghost is really that powerful, we will have to face it sooner or later."
Qi Yunxiu certainly would not refute Gu Wuji's words, and spoke at the speed of light, "That's right. If we don't care about Xiao Cheng now, he will become a ghost after death, which will be troublesome. We must deal with it immediately."
The ghost next to him: "..."
The two looked around and suddenly found that there was a sound of something being pushed down and smashed in the dilapidated building next to them.
"It seems that he is there." Gu Wuji said.
The building looked like it hadn't been inhabited for a while, the windows were all broken, and unlike the surrounding buildings, there were no red lanterns hanging on it, it was obviously a haunted place. As
the two were about to move forward, the ghost that Gu Wuji was holding was already trembling, "Brother, no, uncle, please, can you let me go first?"
Gu Wuji: "What's wrong? We haven't been catching up for long."
What is catching up!
The ghost said in fear: "This, this house is not normal! I dare not go in!"
Gu Wu Ji was a little curious, "You are a ghost yourself, why are you afraid of these?"
"Isn't this a very normal thing? People will be afraid of people too. The strength gap between us ghosts is even greater. If we are accidentally swallowed by other evil ghosts, it will be too miserable!" The ghost hurriedly said: "You see, other ghosts with a little IQ will not come to this place, otherwise why would I hide here..."
"Oh?"
"This house is a haunted house. It is said that the owner sold his daughter for profit. As a result, his daughter turned into an evil ghost and came back for revenge and killed everyone." The ghost said, "After that, their souls were bound in this house. These people were very good when they were alive, and now they are even more terrifying as ghosts. Your friends are probably in danger! I advise you to leave quickly."
"I see." Gu Wu Ji said: "Then go in."
The ghost was confused, "What..."
"Since you know so much, you must know them very well. Please lead the way. Of course, I will protect you well and will never let you encounter danger." Gu Wu Ji said so gently.
With such lines, coupled with such a gentle tone and such a beautiful face, anyone else would probably be dazzled here.
The ghost felt as if he had seen a ghost, and for no reason, he felt a stronger fear than before. What's more, Qi Yunxiu next to him really looked like he wanted to kill the ghost. No matter how scared it was, it could only nod its head repeatedly. After all, it would be
better to be in danger later than to be killed outside now!
When the group was about to enter the haunted house, there were several pairs of blood-red eyes looking at the outside world, and there seemed to be a sound of snickering.
The open wooden door was like a huge mouth that was ready to eat people, making people wonder whether they could come out alive after entering.
As soon as they stepped into the door, the door slammed shut.
............
......
Xiao Cheng, who was hiding in a hidden place on the second floor, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Gu Wuji and Qi Yunxiu coming in.
He originally wanted to attract a large number of ghosts to make the two feel difficult to deal with and escape. With a little guidance from him, they would enter the haunted house and his arrangement would be successful.
But he didn't expect that the ghost at the alley was so useless. Not to mention scaring Gu Wuji, he was scared half to death by Gu Wuji, and it also provided a lot of information for the two to learn more about the main line.
Xiao Cheng would never let these two people leave successfully. If so, what was the point of following them? He immediately pretended to be abducted by ghosts. Fortunately, Sun Shi was even more stupid than he thought. It was ridiculous to be a good person in such a copy.
"As long as you come in here, don't even think about getting out!" Xiao Cheng sneered and looked down. "Of course, the ghosts in this house are average in strength, but their strength is that they can bind this space, making it impossible for the people inside to use their abilities and props."
Even Xiao Cheng was very careful when he came in. He used a special prop that could conceal his breath to avoid other ghosts and hide in this safe second floor.
"No matter how powerful a player is, if he can't use his abilities and props, he is no different from an ordinary person. Facing ghosts, he can only wait for death!"
Although Xiao Cheng couldn't observe how Gu Wuji and Qi Yunxiu were in the house, he could imagine that the two must be extremely miserable now, no longer arrogant in front of him...
"Aren't you usually very strong? But now you can't use your strength, you must be extremely scared to death surrounded by ghosts, and you can't live or die, you are so scared that you cry..." Xiao Cheng felt very happy when he thought of this, and began to regret that he couldn't see the scene in person.
But when he was proud in his heart, he didn't notice that a black shadow had appeared behind him at some point, and countless black hairs slowly spread out from the black shadow.
............
......
The house was indeed a miserable scene. It was
even more tragic than Xiao Cheng thought.
The ghost brought in by Gu Wuji was already huddled in the corner and trembling. The scene in front of it could bring it a lifetime of psychological trauma.
At this time, the ghosts in the house that Xiao Cheng had high expectations for were all bruised and ragged, huddled on the ground in fear, looking at the two living people around them - especially looking at Gu Wuji, they were already extremely scared.
If outsiders saw this scene, they would probably doubt their lives and wonder who was human and who was a ghost.
