There is no window in the room, and it is so dark that you can't see your fingers. Xie Xinglan can barely see the room with the slight red light emitted by the blood demon sword.
The furnishings in this room are no different from the rooms where other actors live, except that the furniture is older, the eaves are covered with dense cobwebs, and the ground is covered with a thick layer of dust. He stepped on it, easily It left clear footprints.
There are open luggage in the corner of the house, but the contents inside are all moldy. Clothes that have been dried into air-dried bacon are hanging on the hangers, and there are some half-eaten rotten food on the bedside.
Someone lived here briefly.
In addition, there is a gray lamp above the closet in the room. The lamp looks a bit like a telephone booth. It is long and thin, dark blue all over, without a wick inside.
Outside Jiang Shuo and Gu Yu's voices were clearly audible, and they seemed to be outside the door. Xie Xinglan's expression was tense: "Are you sure it is absolutely safe here?"
"You can rest assured that they will never come in."
Suddenly, Xie Xinglan heard the human language.
The crow pocket was a little deflated, and at the same time, the only lamp lit up with a warm beige light.
The light gradually brightened, illuminating a corner for Xie Xinglan, and the surroundings became darker and darker against it.
A shadow suddenly appeared at his feet, Xie Xinglan raised his head, and under the phantom light, the crow turned into an old man in a gray robe.
The old man was a little weird. His teeth were white and neat, but his face was wrinkled like dark yellow toilet paper, and his body was dry and withered, and he seemed to be almost dead.
Looking at the age from the teeth, the old man should be very young, but externally, he is an old man who has completely replaced him.
"I am a hermit," the situation was urgent, and the old man was afraid of delays, and immediately explained, "it is absolutely safe within six hours. This is the game rules for the players, that is, you, to find the hermit card as a reward. You can definitely be here. Take a break and regain your strength."
Xie Chi was about to breathe a sigh of relief, frowning again.
"You don't have to worry about it, just mean that people outside can't get in?"
The hermit was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect that he would ask like that, and nodded in Xie Chi's urgently questioning eyes.
Xie Chi's expression condensed: "What about the props?"
The hermit was at a loss: "I... don't know."
When Xie Chi got an unsure answer from the hermit, Xie Chi felt bored for a while.
Since he has the talent of a painter, he has greatly increased his attention to his sixth sense.
Xie Chi counted, Jiang Shuo used the skin on his face, the armor on his body, and the crossbow. Indeed, all three items were used. Finally, chasing him into his body was another method. It should be talent.
It seems that Jiang Shuo has exhausted all his hole cards, but Jiang Shuo's crossbow is at least a red item. Is the effect really just an endless power boosting arrow?
Xie Chi clearly remembered that before Shen Yi died, there was a huge blood hole in his abdomen. The wound was small and deep. It pierced the front and back. It was clearly an arrow wound. But when he was fighting Jiang Shuo just now, Jiang Shuo’s crossbow, It is clear that it can only shoot endless arrows. Although this arrow is powerful, it is not enough to kill him, but it will interfere with him and cause him a certain degree of injury. Even he can't kill, let alone severely wounded. Escape.
Jiang Shuo still has a second hand.
Xie Chi furrowed his brows, clenched his hands secretly, and said immediately: "I ask you to answer, can you? It's quicker."
Knowing the severity of the situation, the hermit nodded happily.
Xie Chi: "Are you a player in the previous tarot game?"
Shock flashed in the hermit's eyes. Obviously, he didn't expect Xie Chi to have come this far. He was delighted to know so much information, and nodded: "Yes."
Xie Chi: "What about the witch? What is going on with this game?"
"wait for me a while!"
The hermit rummaged in his robe, and finally carefully took out a piece of dirty parchment and handed it to Xie Chi.
Xie Chi glanced, and the top of the parchment read-Tarot Reincarnation.
There are dense small prints down.
For the next two to three minutes, Xie Chi looked at the parchment while the hermit explained what he knew.
The difference with Xie Chi's guess is not too big.
About three to four hundred years ago, there was a Tarot wizard who had done nothing bad, and was sealed here by other wizards. He was isolated from the world and could never get out.
She wanted revenge, but she could only watch herself getting older, to no avail. She was unwilling to disappear like this, so she devoted herself to studying witchcraft works. The Emperor paid off, and she finally broke through the ancient Tarot magic that has been lost-the Tarot reincarnation method.
The Tarot reincarnation method, which is the game they are now joining, as the name suggests, can help people reincarnate through the Tarot, extend their lives, and gain eternal life.
The Tarot reincarnation method requires eight personality traits. There are nine people in total, corresponding to the fool, magician, pope, queen, emperor, pope, couple, and hanger in the Tarot card.
The effective time of the Tarot reincarnation method is seven nights, which is 42 hours. During this period, the Tarot wizard will, with the help of other cards, in this order, kill them one by one and sacrifice them to heaven and earth, thereby gaining the power of reincarnation. .
But there is no free lunch in the world, and the Tarot reincarnation law has many restrictions on witches.
First, the Tarot wizard must die quickly, and during the game, the witch's power will be limited by the game and fall to the bottom. This made it not so easy for her to kill these sacrifices. She had to rely on Tarot cards to win and truly join this desperate game.
Second, the Tarot wizard must follow the Tarot Reincarnation Law to tell the sacrifices some of the rules they should know, so that they can truly join the game and have a chance to turn defeat into victory.
It is bound to be difficult if you want to live against the sky and live forever. You can get as much as you take; you have to lose before you can get it.
Give it a go, there is hope and opportunity for reincarnation.
This is the essence of the Tarot reincarnation method.
The witch has to fight for the next life without being weak, risking being killed by the sacrifice.
The Tarot reincarnation method is essentially a game, a game. The witch has a high chance of reincarnation, but the sacrifices are not without chance.
The Tarot game is the road to the reincarnation of witches and the road to self-help for the sacrifices.
The Tarot reincarnation method is endless. Sacrifices can escape the game by their ingenuity, and they can also fail the reincarnation of witches. They can even seize the power of the witch's reincarnation and become the next Tarot wizard with magical power.
These are clearly recorded in the Tarot Reincarnation Law, and they are true possibilities.
But because it is a sorcery, of course it is partial to witches, so it is difficult for the sacrifice to survive.
For the witch, the order of killing sacrifices should not be chaotic. If every sacrifice can be killed in perfect order, the witch will have a higher level of witch power in reincarnation.
And if the order is reversed or all the sacrifices are not killed within the game time, the probability of the witch's failure to reincarnate will greatly increase, and after reincarnation, her magic power will be greatly weakened.
Before Xie Chi saw the beautiful maid wipe the golden picture frame, the various women in the picture frame were actually the Tarot wizard himself.
That was the first seven or eighth of her successful reincarnation.
Mei Ruo Tianxian is still ugly, reflecting her reincarnation and her performance in the game.
The more beautiful her face after reincarnation proves that in the reincarnation game, she sacrificed more sacrifices to heaven and earth in a more correct order.
In their last session, the witch looked exquisite. The hermit said that it was the only time she had killed all sacrifices in the order of death within the specified time.
Therefore, the witch they are encountering now is the most powerful witch since the reincarnation of the witch. She can even kill the sacrifice by herself without relying on the power of the tarot cards.
Most of the time, good and bad are dependent on each other, but in the reincarnation of the Tarot wizard, this is obviously not the case.
She was strong in the last game, which will make her stronger in the next game.
So the way for a witch to reincarnate is also the way for her witch power to grow and her appearance to be beautiful.
She is getting more and more beautiful, getting stronger and stronger, until it has developed to this point.
The hermit explained that the real sacrifice is nine people, that is, eight cards. The blank card is not in the sacrifice. The witch can use the blank card to confuse the sacrifice, so that they will not touch the real rules of the game so early.
In the previous Tarot game, there were nine sacrifices and two blank cards, and the number of players was eleven.
The number of players is not so limited, it can be nine sacrifices plus any number of blank cards.
These are all means of covering up, but the core has always been the nine sacrifices.
The hermit, he was the last dead player in the previous Tarot game, he was the hanger.
In each game, in addition to the players who escaped smoothly, the last of the dead players will become a hermit and guide the next game.
And the position he walked to before his death will determine the starting point of the next game for the players who find him.
How far he has gone before, the next player will continue to follow his progress.
This is also a process of inheritance. After the generation of the game, if the players successfully find the hermit, their progress will be more and more forward, and the threat to the witch will become greater and greater. So the witch is actually walking a tightrope. After all, stronger witch power means There is a greater danger.
There will always be a price to get.
The smartest part of human beings lies in cooperation.
They are definitely not fighting alone.
The hermit said that this parchment that records the inner story of the Tarot reincarnation method was taken from the witch and solemnly handed over to him by the last hermit with great fortune.
He hoped he could escape smoothly, but he still died in the game.
He looks old, and his actual age stays at 29 years old. He failed. In the reincarnation of the witch, he was robbed of his life. From a young guy, he became a short-lived old man in the blink of an eye.
After all this, the hermit looked at the parchment in Xie Chi's hand, and solemnly said: "I will give you the parchment. You must keep it safe."
Xie Chi glanced at him, pursed his lips, took out the lighter from his pocket expressionlessly, ignited the flame, and burned a corner of the parchment.
"What are you doing?!" The hermit was shocked and furious. He rushed to stop Xie Chi, but Xie Chi hid the parchment behind him and backed away a little bit, until it burned clean and turned into a pile of meaningless ashes. The empty hand covered with ashes spread out towards the hermit in front of him.
"How can you do this?!" The hermit's eyes were red, looking at the ashes, almost desperately asked, "That is all the hope of future players! It was obtained by the last hermit who tried his best! Do you know that it has How important?"
Xie Chi calmly said: "I only know that I can't keep it, so that Jiang Shuo has the opportunity to know the inner story of the Tarot reincarnation method."
"How can you be so selfish?! To ruin future generations for yourself?!" The hermit rushed forward and grabbed his collar, but he was very old and weak.
Xie Chi groaned when he was touched by the wound. As soon as he grasped his wrist, he raised his head and asked, "What is the purpose of keeping it?"
"Do you think that when I become a hermit, I can give these things to the next one? Make them believe and help them move forward? Because your mission is completed, it will soon dissipate."
"You know you still do it!!" The hermit gritted his teeth, eyes full of hatred.
"Yes, I know," Xie Chi sneered and said coldly, "but I know better, I won't die, I won't be a hermit."
The hermit was stunned, unable to speak for a while. He was undoubtedly the best player in the previous session, otherwise he would not be the last sacrifice to die, but he could not say such certain words in the face of the hermit who had guided him.
And the person in front of him, he was facing a Tarot wizard who was stronger than the one he had met before.
He was chased and killed and fled in embarrassment, with serious injuries, and a gloomy future, but he vowed that he would not die.
The hermit's mood was complicated.
"If I can end the Tarot Wizard, what use is this parchment to keep? Will it hurt me?"
The hermit was silent, what did he believe in him? But besides trusting him, does he have other options?
The parchment is ruined, and there seems to be only one way left.
Moreover, he always felt that miracles belonged to the young man in front of him, calm and courageous, deep-minded, and capable of execution.
He has fallen countless times, but he has never really fallen.
Except for himself, no one seems to be able to defeat him.
And if he knew that he existed and found himself in such a difficult situation on the third day, what else was impossible?
Why doesn't he believe it?
The hermit was silent for a long while, and finally sighed softly: "You have won. I hope you can do it, otherwise you will become a sinner forever."
