“Sure.” Li Changqing took Mu Qingge’s words as a mere courtesy and nodded.
“When will Daoist Changqing come?” Mu Qingge asked subconsciously.
However, after asking this question, Mu Qingge herself was taken aback.
Li Changqing was also a bit confused. Was this a way to ask questions?
Xu Muhai and Yin Changli were even more stunned as they looked at Mu Qingge.
The Song Fairy of Medical King Valley, countless young talents pursued her daily, and they could line up from the entrance of Dao Mountain Ancient Land to the Cloud Wilderness!
Countless people had been rejected by Mu Qingge when they came to propose, let alone Mu Qingge actually inviting others to visit and asking when they would come.
Something was wrong.
Li Changqing was also a bit embarrassed, and for a moment, he didn’t know what to say.
Mu Qingge also felt that she had been abrupt. Just as she was about to say something to ease the awkward situation, Li Changqing’s pupils suddenly contracted, and his gaze fell on Mu Qingge’s neck.
“What is that? Has the Song Fairy always had it?” Li Changqing asked in surprise.
“What?” Mu Qingge subconsciously reached out and touched her neck, but she didn’t feel anything. So, she took out a bronze mirror from her bosom and looked at herself in the mirror.
Upon seeing her reflection, Mu Qingge’s face changed drastically.
Because Mu Qingge found a strange mark on her jade neck, the mark looked like a baby’s small paw.
Or rather, it was exactly the same as the paw prints of the ghost children they had encountered before.
Mu Qingge rubbed it with her hand, but found that it couldn’t be rubbed off at all. It seemed to be branded on her body.
“Daoist Xu, you have one on your neck too.” Li Changqing looked at Xu Muhai, and sure enough, Xu Muhai also had one on his neck.
“I have one too?” Xu Muhai frowned deeply.
“Really? Do I have one?” Yin Changli was a bit anxious.
He quickly tilted his neck for Li Changqing to see.
Sure enough, there was a small ghost claw mark on Yin Changli’s neck.
Seeing Li Changqing nod, Yin Changli’s face also changed.
“Do I have one?” Li Changqing also quickly tilted his neck for the others to see, but they all saw nothing on Li Changqing’s neck and shook their heads.
“What on earth is this?”
Knowing that he didn’t have one, Li Changqing breathed a sigh of relief, but he was also curious about what it was.
“What do you think, Song Fairy?” Xu Muhai didn’t understand this, so he looked at Mu Qingge. As the successor of Medical King Valley, she should know something.
Li Changqing also looked at Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge’s face was still somewhat pale at this time.
“This is… the Ghost Resentment Curse.” Mu Qingge’s eyes were somewhat dull.
“Ghost Resentment Curse?” Xu Muhai’s eyes also paused, apparently he had heard of the Ghost Resentment Curse.
Only Li Changqing was waiting calmly for the two to explain.
But the two didn’t speak for a long time.
“Master, what is the Ghost Resentment Curse?” Yin Changli asked anxiously, “Will it kill people?”
Li Changqing was very satisfied with Yin Changli’s question.
“The Ghost Resentment Curse originates from the Ghost Clan and is a secret technique of the ghost spirits.” Mu Qingge said, “The Ghost Resentment Curse is a curse released at the cost of one’s own life force. Those who are cursed with the Ghost Resentment Curse will harbor a special kind of ghost energy in their bodies.”
“If this ghost energy erupts, it will torment people to the point of wishing for death.”
“In the past, the ghost spirits used the Ghost Resentment Curse to control people. Now that we are cursed with the Ghost Resentment Curse, it means that someone can definitely control the ghost energy in our bodies to torment us.”
Mu Qingge looked at Xu Muhai solemnly.
“Did they use the Ghost Resentment Curse instead of letting the ghost children replace us?” Xu Muhai took a deep breath, “It seems that these people have a big conspiracy.”
Mu Qingge nodded, “Do you remember the words of the boy in the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas? He mentioned a name, which is the Longevity Sect.”
“I’ve never heard of it.” Xu Muhai shook his head.
“Master, how can this Ghost Resentment Curse be cured?” Yin Changli asked anxiously. He didn’t want to experience the feeling of being worse than death that Mu Qingge had described.
“I don’t know, I have to ask my father after I return to the sect.” Although Mu Qingge knew this was the Ghost Resentment Curse, this thing had been lost for many years, and there was no record of it in Medical King Valley, so she didn’t know how to remove it.
Seeing that even his master didn’t know, Yin Changli was almost in tears.
His path to becoming a sword immortal might end before it even began.
Just as they were talking, something seemed wrong with Xu Muhai. He frowned, and the small hand on his neck began to spread, emitting a black ghost energy.
“Peak Master Xu.” Li Changqing was also startled when he saw this.
Xu Muhai suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, his eyes were bloodshot, and his entire body was trembling. He even let out a low growl of pain from his throat.
Even a strong person like Xu Muhai, whose willpower was far beyond ordinary people, was collapsing at this moment!
“Daoist Xu!” Mu Qingge waved her hand, and many silver needles flew out, directly piercing into various acupoints on Xu Muhai’s body.
This was a technique to help Xu Muhai alleviate the pain.
But after the silver needles pierced into Xu Muhai’s acupoints, Xu Muhai’s symptoms did not alleviate at all.
“Ah!!”
Xu Muhai let out a painful roar, then suddenly got up like a madman and ran towards the stone wall in the distance.
Bang!With a muffled thud, Xu Muhai rammed himself into a wall, his head bleeding profusely. The ghostly aura wrapped around him was clearly causing him extreme pain.
“My goodness!” Yin Changli exclaimed in shock. Could it be that painful?
What would he do if he ended up in the same state?
Seeing Xu Muhai about to ram into the wall again, Li Changqing, fearing that Xu Muhai would kill himself in this manner, used a immobilizing technique and froze Xu Muhai in place.
“You all keep an eye on him.” Li Changqing dropped this sentence and then the longevity wood flew over from behind him.
Li Changqing took out his tools and began to carve.
At this moment, Xu Muhai’s entire body was tense, and he was in unbearable pain.
It seemed like his spirit was about to collapse.
Mu Qingge also tried various methods to help Xu Muhai alleviate his pain.
However, she found that her medical skills were completely useless against the Ghost Resentment curse. Even she, the pride of the Medical King Valley, was helpless.
It wasn’t until a quarter of an hour later that a small wooden Buddha appeared in Li Changqing’s hand.
The wooden Buddha held a Zen staff in his hand, and beneath him was a Spirit Beast that none of them had ever seen before.
Li Changqing and Mu Qingge took a piece of silk thread, strung the Buddha onto it, and hung it directly around Xu Muhai’s neck.
In an instant, the ghostly aura on Xu Muhai’s body receded like a tide.
Xu Muhai collapsed to the ground, his entire body soaked in sweat.
The pain he had just experienced had drained his will. Although he was no longer in pain, he was unable to speak for a long time, completely exhausted.
“It seems to work.”
The carving Li Changqing made was a small wooden statue of the Earth Store Bodhisattva.
Only by hanging it around Xu Muhai’s neck was the ghostly aura suppressed.
