Lin Xi said calmly, "They are probably villagers from Biluo Village. They regard koi fish as gods. You killed their god, so they naturally retaliated."
Dark brown scales represent a curse, while pale yellow scales are formed from the koi's own merits.
Every night, the koi fish would come to check if the three people were dead. If it sensed they were about to die, it would stick a pale yellow fish scale on them to stop the curse from taking effect.
That's a really silly fish.
Linxi waved.
Jinli gently touched her palm, grinned foolishly, and said, "Linxi, I like it."
Lin Xi rubbed its head and pointed to Wang Hu beside her, "You saw him, why didn't you run away?"
The koi carp froze, seemingly lost in thought.
"Water, swimming, death."
Lin Xi pieced together the whole story from Jinli's fragmented words.
The koi fish believed that Wang Hu would drown if he went swimming, so it swam over to save him.
Unexpectedly, he was killed by Wang Hu who picked up a rock.
This fish was really foolish; it treated humans with the utmost kindness, yet ultimately died at their hands.
Even after death, they remain innocent and pure, not hiding from humans, but instead staying close to them.
Lin Xi told everyone about it.
After listening, Wang Liangshan was stunned for a long time.
The koi master is simple-minded and morally upright. He actually disregarded past grievances and personally came to the Wang family to rescue people.
This is the true god.
He was so moved that he cried.
Wang Liangshan kowtowed three times, his expression extremely solemn. "Lord Jinli, my Wang family has no way to repay your great kindness. In this life and the next, I will be your servant to repay you."
The koi stared blankly at him, its eyes filled with confusion.
What is this human saying? It can't understand a single word.
Koike is right, humans are complex beings.
Ugh! This is so complicated.
The koi fish stared longingly at Lin Xi, "What did he say?"
Lin Xi explained, "He thinks you're the best fish in the world and wants to repay you. What do you want?"
"Happy!" The koi fish exclaimed happily, blowing bubbles. "Yes, bling, bling!"
Wang Liangshan was completely bewildered. "Master Lin, what does Lord Koi mean?"
Lin Xi was utterly exasperated. "Koi fish like shiny, gold things, understand?"
Wang Liangshan nodded, "I understand, Master Koi. I will use gold to build you a magnificent statue, guaranteed to be sparkling and shiny, and I will offer incense to you regularly every day."
The koi still couldn't understand what he was saying, but this time it understood "Bling Bling".
It nodded seriously, "Okay."
Wang Liangshan breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Master Jinli, and thank you, Master Lin."
After a moment of silence, he asked, "Master Lin, if the curse wasn't cast by Master Jinli, then what should we do?"
“Find the person who cast the curse.” Lin Xi glanced at the koi fish. “You know who it is, right?”
The koi stopped blowing bubbles, its voice tinged with sadness, "Xiaochi, it's her, I... I can't."
"Alright, alright, I understand." Lin Xi patted its head to comfort it. "Xiao Chi will understand what you mean."
"Really?" Jinli visibly cheered. "Linxi, kiss me."
Linxi didn't move; this fish especially loves its family.
Koi pouted, leaned close to her cheek, and gave her a kiss. "I like you the most."
A soft, multicolored light descended upon Lin Xi's head, making her radiate light like a multicolored light bulb.
The first kiss I gave you was a fish.
This is a blessing from a lucky koi fish.
Those who receive the blessing of a koi fish will receive good luck.
Lin Xi smiled and said, "Thank you, Koi."
Koi liked her even more, saying, "She's beautiful."
Lin Xi tapped its forehead. "Let's go find Xiao Chi."
"good."
The koi fish raised its tail and circled around her a few times.
It gradually grew larger and stopped at Linxi's leg.
"I'll carry you on my back."
Lin Xi did not refuse and experienced riding a koi carp for the first time in her life.
Seeing that they were about to leave, Wang Liangshan quickly called out, "Master Lin, Wang Hu and Hu Tao can't be moved."
Lin Xi waved her hand, releasing the immobilization and silencing talismans.
Hu Tao and Wang Hu fell into the water at the same time, splashing up a spray of water.
The two saw the fish-shaped shadow and their eyes filled with fear. They hid in the bathtub, trembling.
My whole body started itching again, and it was not only itchy but also painful. When will this end?
The koi carp, determined to find the small pond, carried Linxi on its back and flew into the sky.
Wang Liangshan kowtowed three more times, "Lord Koi, Master Lin, have a safe journey."
Wang Qian watched the koi carp slowly disappear, then knelt down like her father, saying, "Koi, I'm sorry."
...
An abandoned factory in the capital city.
Yun Yan, Bai Xiuyuan, and Jiang Yuanyuan squatted in the grass, feeding mosquitoes.
Bai Xiuyuan held the compass in his hands, his expression solemn. "It's inside."
Yun Yan stared at the door. "Go, be careful. The other party is a sorcerer from the Li tribe."
Jiang Yuanyuan began, “No one can compare to the Miao people when it comes to playing with Gu, but the Li people are skilled in curses and have always been unwilling to communicate with outsiders. We know very little about the Li people.”
Both the Li and Miao ethnic groups have shamans.
The difference is that the Miao people use Gu worms for physical attacks, while the Li people use curses for mental attacks.
Yun Yan said, "The Li people have lived in Biluo Village for generations and worship the Koi Carp Immortal. They once signed an agreement with the director that the sorcerer would not step out of Biluo Village."
He frowned. "It's very strange that a sorcerer from the Li ethnic group has appeared in the capital."
"We will try our best to avoid conflict with the sorcerer and bring her back to the Special Administration Bureau peacefully."
“Okay, Captain.” Bai Xiuyuan nodded.
He held a compass, the needle spinning rapidly, finally stopping in the south.
