Chapter 62 Curse of the Undead
Chapter 60 Curse of the Undead
Looking at the dagger handed over by Zixuan, Xiaojing did not reach out to take it.

She shook her head and said, "Big sister, you should do it yourself. Try cutting off my back!"

Zi Xuan was stunned, then smiled faintly and said, "Yours and mine, aren't they the same? Anyway, let's just give it a try. If it works, we'll naturally cut off this damn thing."

Xiao Jing shook her head and smiled, "You know what I'm good at is healing. Physical injuries can be healed much faster. It's best for me to do the experiment!"

Zi Xuan was stunned for a moment, then her heart felt warm, and she had to nod and agree.

Xiaojing naturally had no way to refute what she said. In terms of physical recovery, she was undoubtedly the best among the three sisters.

Xiaojing bent her back and gritted her teeth, concentrating all her feeling on the area behind her back.

Blood immediately rushed to the small area on the back. Where the eyes were focused, there was a bright red patch, and the lines seemed to come alive, shocking.

"Hold on! I'm going to take action!"

Zixuan held the knife in her right hand and put her left hand on Xiaojing's shoulder.

Then, a cold light flashed, and Zi Xuan raised her sword and swung it down.

Then, the piece of patterned flesh was cut off from Xiaojing's back and placed on a large plate on the marble table next to her.

"Okay."

Zixuan's technique was incredibly fast, and the red dagger was worthy of being a spiritual weapon, as blood gushed out after the sharp edge.

Xiao Jing gritted her teeth and snorted in her heart. The blood that had seeped out flowed back into her blood vessels, and the broken skin and flesh on her back recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Afterwards, Zixuan checked carefully and found Xiaojing's back was as smooth as a mirror, without any flaws.

"Fortunately, it works!" Zi Xuan sighed.

She wiped the knife aside and handed it to Xiaojing. "It's my turn!"

Xiaojing nodded and took the bloody dagger.

Zixuan bent her back and also concentrated her energy on her back.

"Nothing, let's do it!"

She felt that Xiaojing's hand on her shoulder was sweating, and thought she was too nervous, so she reminded her with a smile.

But Xiaojing still didn't do anything.

Zixuan felt strange and looked sideways, only to see Xiaojing staring at the mirror next to her.

Zixuan followed Xiaojing's gaze and her face turned green.

Xiaojing's back, which was as smooth as a mirror and as white as snow just now, now faintly appeared those twisted red lines, and they were gradually deepening.

In the skull formed by the lines, the pair of empty eyes seemed to glow faintly under the light, as if mocking their stupidity and ignorance!

Zixuan clenched her fists, straightened up, and patted Xiaojing on the shoulder.

"It's okay. I didn't expect it to be so simple. It can be solved with just one cut!" Zi Xuan comforted.

Xiao Jing smiled bitterly, "There's nothing to worry about. After all, apart from feeling itchy when touched, I haven't found any other problems."

"I can't even feel this thing. It seems to have merged into my blood."

Zixuan nodded. She felt the same way. If Xiaojing hadn't said it was itchy, she wouldn't have noticed it on her body. After all, she had eaten too much seafood when she had dinner with JJ Lin two days ago, and she thought she was a little allergic.

Zi Xuan pointed to the plate and said, "Xiao Jing, look, as the blood is lost, the pattern on the skin is fading!"

Xiaojing heard the sound and looked over. The color was obviously much lighter than before.

"So..." Xiao Jing pondered, "If I give up my physical body, I can get rid of it!"

Zi Xuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's easy to say that you will give up your physical body. Although you are already in the Nascent Soul stage, your cultivation will be greatly reduced once your physical body is gone..."

"Now what?"

"Even if there is something wrong with this thing, since we haven't discovered it yet, let's not touch it for now."

"Okay." Xiao Jing responded helplessly, and then said, "I'll notify Sister Lanlan tomorrow to see if she recognizes it."

Zi Xuan nodded slightly, "Okay! One more person means more strength! Maybe she will recognize it!"

She then put on the clothes she had taken off, "You take a shower! I'm going to go back to sleep!"

"Oh! Okay!" Xiaojing agreed.

Then she glanced at the plate on the table and asked helplessly, "It's just this——"

"That's easy!" Zi Xuan laughed dumbly, and a wisp of blue flame appeared on her green jade finger. Then she flicked it casually, and the blue flame shot out and instantly swept the plastic plate on the marble table. After two breaths, the cut flesh and the plate were burned into nothingness.

Zixuan then walked out of the bathroom.

Xiao Jing sighed inwardly: What a pervert! It seems I have to intensify my practice.

……

The next day.

After Lan Lan received Xiaojing's call, she rushed to Qianqiu Hotel as soon as possible.

In the room, Xiaojing lifted up her clothes to show her the red stripes on her back.

Lan Lan looked at it for a long time before slowly asking, "Do you think this is a poison..."

"Isn't it?" Xiaojing asked.

Xiao Jing had previously expressed her guess on the phone that it might be a poisonous insect. The reason was that Lina had once released a highly poisonous scorpion, which was a scorpion poisoned by five kinds of animal poisons.

This kind of animal poison is made from animals that are extremely poisonous. In addition to the scorpion poison, the other four kinds of poison are made from spiders, venomous snakes, centipedes, and toads. These poisons are great in number and extremely poisonous, making it difficult to guard against them.

"However, you also said before that apart from this scorpion, she doesn't have any other poisonous objects on her body." Lan Lan shook her head and analyzed, "This shows that she is not good at poisoning. This scorpion may have been obtained by accident."

Seeing that the two were in deep thought, Lan Lan continued, "I once read an ancient book in a relic space, which was about witchcraft. I flipped through it out of curiosity, and I felt that this pattern was not caused by poisoning, but a kind of curse mentioned in the book..."

"Curse? What kind of curse?"

"It should be the curse of the dead!" Lan Lan took a deep breath and said, "This kind of curse requires a large number of souls of the dead, and it is planted with secret methods. I believe the owner of this human puppet values ​​it very much. He not only planted restrictions but also cast a curse to be foolproof. This person's mind is not simple!"

After Lan Lan finished speaking, Xiao Jing's face turned extremely ugly. The soul-catching bottle was found on Lina, so it must not be difficult for this person to plant a curse on the dead puppet.

"Lanlan, does that book mention any method to crack the code?" Zixuan asked.

"Yes!" Lan Lan nodded, "There are three ways. One is to ask the person who planted the curse to remove the power of the curse, and the other is to have a cultivation level far superior to the other person, and be strong enough to suppress the curse and make it ineffective..."

"Neither of these will work!" Zi Xuan shook her head.

If they asked the one who planted the curse to remove it, they would undoubtedly die faster. As for the second option, it was probably difficult as well. The dead puppet was close to the late Nascent Soul stage, so its owner must be at least in the middle stage of the Spiritualization stage.

Seeing this, Lan Lan continued, "Then there is only a third way. Please ask someone who is proficient in this or knows the art of purification to crack it!"

"Where can we find such a person?" Xiao Jing pouted and said, "If there were such an acquaintance, we wouldn't be so ignorant. Besides, we are outsiders."

"The art of purification?" Zi Xuan murmured, "Do we need to go find a wizard?"

Then, she shook her head and denied this idea. Today, the human race in the Small Thousand Worlds is no longer the human race of the ancient times. There are very few wizards, and perhaps there are still some in the ethnic groups in remote areas. However, wizards who have not reached the stage of transformation are useless. Besides, it is still a problem whether such high-level wizards exist or not, and where to find them.

"Sister Lanlan, is there any other method?" Xiaojing asked.

Lan Lan scratched his head and smiled bitterly: "This is all I know!"

"When do you think our curse will take effect? ​​What will happen when it takes effect?" Zi Xuan asked.

"Yes, I want to know this too." Xiaojing said hurriedly.

"Don't worry. When you fought with Lina three days ago, the undead curse pattern took 72 hours to appear. It didn't break out suddenly, which means that this curse is gradual." Lan Lan said slowly, recalling, "This kind of curse will not have a particularly big impact on practitioners in normal times."

"Oh, so we can just ignore it then?"

"That won't work either!" Lan Lan shook her head and said, "Although the impact is small at ordinary times, it will definitely explode when advancing, affecting the practitioner's mind! It is said that there has never been a successful precedent for a cursed person to advance!"

Zixuan looked at Xiaojing and frowned. At this time, Xiaojing had already shown signs of a breakthrough. If this curse greatly increased the chances of failure in the promotion, then it must be removed as soon as possible.

Lan Lan thought for a moment, and then continued, "Moreover, through this curse, the curser can easily find the person who cursed him."

Zixuan and Xiaojing were shocked and smiled bitterly at each other. They had seen Lina's strength with their own eyes and were naturally very wary of the power behind her.

How can this be good?

At this moment, Lan Lan suddenly had an idea and said in surprise: "I figured it out, someone should be able to break this curse!"

"who?"

"The great monk from Xiangguo Temple!"

monk?

Zixuan and Xiaojing looked at each other and were speechless.
