Chapter 62 Curse
"Dead."
"All dead."
In the endless smoke, he saw the stake again.
There was a charred body tied to the stake. Tall, like a flag before a charge. In the blurred background are the voices of all the people of Yedi back then.
"magician!"
"Burn him!"
Just like before, it appeared in his dreams several times.
There stood another man at the stake. The man wore a red and blue bead net on his head and a quercetin blue robe with intricate patterns on the cuffs. He looked up at the body on the stake.
The man suddenly felt very scared, even though he was the general king who saved the people of the world. But he walked towards the man until he turned around and stretched out his hand to him.
"Ye Feng." The man spoke in a calm tone, "This is what you, the army and the people you love so much, give back to me."
Pitch-black, charred, and covered with spells... it didn't belong to that man, but to his own hand!
…
General Wang woke up from a nightmare, and heard the sound of rain outside the window.
He was alone, had no children, and never liked people to get close to him. The only one who heard the noise and came in at this moment was his maid.
The maid said, "How does the prince feel? Has the old injury recurred?"
General Wang took a steady breath and said, "Call Doctor Wu over."
The maid ordered the attendant to go down and look for him. When she came back, she chatted as usual and comforted the old man: "After Doctor Wu came, the general's injury has improved a lot."
For this childless old man, there are too many topics that cannot be discussed, and too many topics that dare not be discussed. Discussing Dr. Chi becomes the safest topic.
General Wang really said, "His medical skills are very good."
The maid said, "And that's not all. Doctor Wu opened a clinic in the city and taught other doctors who opened clinics how to treat patients. Everyone is very grateful to Doctor Wu."
General Wang's brows relaxed slightly, but soon he covered his arms, with veins bulging on his forehead.
This is when the injury kicks in. Every time the injury flared up, General Wang's arms would always be in unbearable pain and he would act like a madman.
Even though she had seen the injury flare up many times, the maid stepped back again and again, fear in her heart.
Finally, the sound of wind chimes was heard at the door.
"Doctor Wu!"
A faint medicinal scent drifted through the room like a life-saving straw. The maid watched the thin doctor half-kneeling in front of the general king. She decisively and calmly helped him to the bed, took out the medicine, fed him, and pressed various acupoints.
With his skillful technique, General Wang finally calmed down. The maid said, "Thank you, Doctor Wu. Fortunately, Doctor Wu came very quickly today."
"It has been raining these days, and I think General Wang's injury is going to flare up again, so we set out early this morning." Doctor Wu said calmly.
Doctor Wu is always so serious and responsible, and he manages time very accurately. As the maid left the hall, she said to the breathless attendant, "It's all thanks to Doctor Wu. Last time my brother was sick, it was also thanks to Doctor Wu's medicine."
"Yes." The attendant also said, "The general's injuries have worsened in the past two years. Thanks to Doctor Wu. As long as he comes, the general can calm down. Now the general really can't do without Doctor Wu."
Yes.
The general's injuries became increasingly serious. When did it start? The maid thought.
It seemed like it was probably a few years ago, when Doctor Wu first came to Yedi.
…
The deputy city lord said: "This is the basic situation. Immortal Ning, you must save us. I am not lying in what I say!"
After talking for the whole morning, the deputy city lord became more and more thirsty. Only Ning Mingmei seemed to be becoming more and more calm and was still drinking tea.
Ning Mingmei said to the system: "It is indeed a clichéd story of a group of people breaking up."
This is what happened in Yedi’s past.
Four hundred years ago, in addition to the five deputy generals who grew up together with Ye Feng, there was another person who pointed the sword at the demon clan together.
It can even be said that compared to those five people, this person's contributions in the initial battle were more outstanding, but this name has been sealed in the history of Yedi.
That person's name is.
"Wu Yun".
He is the last shaman of the Li ethnic group.
Four hundred years ago, the young boy Ye Feng protected the townspeople and was chased by monsters, fighting back with a knife. In order to lure the monster away from the old and weak townspeople, he held a knife and fought alone from the edge of the town into the deep mountains and forests.
At that time, Ye Feng was full of youthful spirit. He had the desire and fighting spirit to protect the townspeople, but he did not have the strength to match it. As the blade was about to break, the two monsters kept approaching.
It doesn't matter if the monster kills him. But behind him were the other people in the town.
He is a man with a knife. The enemy standing before him is a demon, with sinister magic, sharp claws and bloodthirsty teeth.
So what if the blade breaks? He has no magic and no claws, but he has teeth!
Even if he pounced on the monster and bit off its throat, he would never let it enter the town!
Ye Feng knew he had no way to retreat. He shouted and pounced on the monster, trying to bite it. At this moment, he heard a slight sound.
clang!
It's the sound of strings moving.
A sharp instinct made him dodge, and what passed by him was a white feather arrow with the tip coated with a strangely colored drug.
The white feather arrow penetrated into the monster's body. The monster that was originally showing off its might howled and fell to the ground. Ye Feng turned around suddenly and saw a person appearing in the jungle.
The man was wearing a dark blue outer robe and a dazzling white inner garment. He didn't even look at Ye Feng, but continued to pluck the string without stopping, shooting at the other monster.
The second monster also fell. Ye Feng did not hesitate, he drew out his broken sword and finished off the two monsters.
When he turned around, he saw that the man had turned around and left with his bow and arrow.
Ye Feng had never seen such a person before. He chased after him and stopped him.
To his surprise, the person shooting the arrow was a teenager about his age.
The boy had strange eyes, the same quertle blue as his robe. The boy looked at him but said nothing.
Ye Feng asked: "Did you see that I was standing there too? If I hadn't heard the sound of the bowstring, your arrow would have killed me directly."
"What's the problem?" the boy said.
This is a really weird response. The man looked at him with a cold expression, but there was a kind of innocence and purity in his eyes.
Ye Feng suddenly realized that this young man really didn’t understand what the problem would be.
He was speechless for a moment. The boy looked at him and waited for a while. Soon, he felt that he had nothing else to say, so he pushed aside the grass and walked deeper into the forest.
"What's your name?" Ye Feng caught up with him.
"Wu Yun." The young man spoke without looking at him.
"Dark clouds? Are the dark clouds in the sky going to rain?" Ye Feng asked.
"No. It's the Wu in witchcraft." said the boy.
As they walked, they arrived at a valley. Ye Feng looked down and saw a village with strange runes that he had never seen before.
"Where is this?" he asked.
"My home." The boy said, "Li Village."
This was the first meeting between General Wang and the shaman from the Li ethnic group.
The reason why the deputy city lord knew this past event was because his ancestor rushed into the forest with two other young boys and a girl after hearing that General Wang was in danger in order to save the townspeople. Each of them carried three machetes and, with the youthful vigor and vitality, followed the traces of Ye Feng's battle, vowing to kill the monster and bring Ye Feng back.
These four people were four of Ye Feng’s five deputy generals later. What they saw following this trail was the acquaintance between Ye Feng and Wu Zhu.
Later, the fifth young man returned from the royal city, and the five lieutenants gathered. The demon concubine caused a war between the country and the demons invaded. The young man Ye Feng and his five companions swore an oath of blood alliance and fought to the death with the demons to defend Ye land.
"The Li people have lived in the mountains for a long time and don't care about worldly affairs. But Ye Feng used some unknown method to persuade the young witch to join them. It was not until later that they found out that the young man was the only great witch of the Li people and the most talented witch of the Li people in hundreds of years."
Practicing witchcraft is against the will of heaven for people without spiritual roots, so most people who practice witchcraft have a short life. Even though Wu Yun was a genius, he was still weak and could not compare to the other six who gradually grew into strong warriors.
But he has witchcraft - relying on witchcraft, he can change the celestial phenomena, cast witchcraft to save lives, appease the souls of warriors, or heal the warriors.
Wu Yun has a bone xun. Whenever he played the bone xun, even the most seriously injured and painful soldiers would feel peace and comfort in their hearts.
Wu Yun is not talkative. But Ye Feng likes to sit next to him. At times like this, most of them didn't say anything, but just sat on the hillside covered with small flowers. Occasionally, Ye Feng would ask Wu Yun whether the small flowers on the hillside had any medicinal properties and whether he should pick them and make medicine.
The shaman who plays the xiao always shakes his head: "Let life stay where it belongs."
Is it because the witch's witchcraft comes at the cost of the witch's life and soul that Wu Yun said this?
There was no grass growing or birds singing during the war years. The grass you see today may have been burned by war the next day. For example, the five deputy generals were not completely satisfied with Wu Yun.
The one who was most dissatisfied with Wu Yun was the deputy general who joined the five people last. The reason for his dissatisfaction was that Wu Yun was unwilling to use witchcraft to curse his enemies.
Wu Yun never likes to explain. The deputy general asked several times but got no answer. He then said to the others: "He must be reluctant to pay the price of using curses in battle."
"The price of witchcraft is the soul. Using curses will cost you money. I understand that, but who among the five of us didn't risk our lives? Lao Hu, you lost an arm, and Xiao Tian almost lost half his life. The number of our other brothers who died is too numerous to count. Why should Wu Yun be different?"
"He could have used the curse, but he refused to do so. If he had taken action earlier in Baichuan last time, Lao Jiang and the others would not have died."
"I looked up the information. The cost of using a curse to kill someone is not that high. He just doesn't want to do it."
There were more and more rumors about Wu Yun in the army. Wu Yun continued to treat his wounds and remained silent.
The deputy city lord's ancestor once asked him why.
The deputy city lord explained: "Of course, my great-great-grandfather's tone was not very good... but this is also... hehe."
He wiped the sweat off his forehead, knowing that he was in the wrong.
Wu Yun's answer to this was simply, "It's no use talking about it."
The deputy city lord said this and then continued, "In fact, my great-great-grandfather just wanted to ask him for an explanation. If he gave the explanation, everyone would understand, right? For example, if he said directly that the cost of a witch using a curse is huge, and that in addition to what is written in the book, there are other costs that we don't know about... If he describes this cost in detail, we won't embarrass him."
The deputy city lord said this, feeling that he was right, but Ning Mingmei knocked on the teacup.
"He's right, because you're asking him not because you want to know why he doesn't want to cast the curse." Ning Mingmei said, "The real reason is that you 'want' him to cast the curse - no matter what the price he has to pay."
Deputy City Lord: “But…”
"Pay one cent for one job. A young Wuzhu went to a field hospital for regular training right after graduation. Not only does he work like a 007 every day, but he doesn't get paid a penny. Do you really think working overtime won't hurt your body? What's written in the job description is one thing, and what you have to do after joining is another. Before joining, they said it was enough to be a doctor. After joining, they asked you to be proficient in programming reports and killing people. If you can't do it, they say you have a corrupt character and no medical ethics." Ning Mingmei said to the system, "It seems that I am really kind to Wen Siheng! At least, I pay them every month and never assign them tasks that are beyond his ability."
system:"……"
Ning Mingmei: "But this has broadened my horizons. It seems that here, it is normal to arrange for people to work two jobs. It is time to find them some extracurricular student work. To increase my student work achievements... no, to contribute to my own all-round development is the necessary requirement for talents in the new century!"
System: "Why are you so indifferent?"
The person on the other end is telling a sad story, just keep listening.
The deputy city lord said: "In fact, if it had ended here, it would have been fine. After all, Ye Feng never said anything. Until later, the demon fox clan assisted the demon clan, and the two joined forces to invade Yedi, and we fought against them. During the battle, military intelligence was leaked..."
In addition to the war, there are several mines in the upstream part of Ye Di. During the war years, the imperial court also sent people here to mine mines and manufacture weapons. They then sent those weapons across the country.
Although today, these mines have been mined out. The people from the court also left. But at that time, no matter from which aspect, Yedi was definitely an important place in the war.
Therefore, he also became the target of the demons.
Half of the army died there. In addition, there are their families and countless people.
It was a bloody battle. After the war, all that fell from the sky were scarlet raindrops. The earth was filled with people wailing and crying.
What they hold in their hands are not only the corpses of their family members, but also their anger.
Everyone wants to know, who leaked the information?
Deputy City Lord: "Later, we found traces of the magic of the demon fox in Wu Yun's magic... He betrayed us and is a traitor! Moreover, one time the demon fox's knife was about to fall on him, but it moved away... If this is not collaborating with the enemy, what is it? Who knows what he will do next. He is a witch, and his method is so cunning. If he wants to curse us privately, who can bear it? And everyone says that he was unwilling to take action at the beginning because he must have bet on both sides and was indecisive..."
Ning Mingmei: "So?"
The deputy city lord stopped talking.
So they killed him.
From then on, there was no more young man who shot white feather arrows in the mountains and forests, and no more of his queen blue eyes when he frowned and looked at Ye Feng.
There were only standing firewood, a tall stake, and a burning corpse on the stake.
When He Yefeng rode back to the camp, he saw a charred scene. As soon as he approached, the corpse was blown into ashes by the wind.
And the heavy rain that finally fell.
It rained heavily and the criminals were executed. From that day on, the battle that had once been going badly miraculously began to turn around. The army marched out of Yedi with unstoppable force.
It was like a revelation from God.
Even without witchcraft, we can still wipe out the rebels!
In addition, there is a small episode - the Li people were very angry when they learned that the witch was dead and wanted to avenge him.
After learning of Wu Zhu's death, Ye Feng originally planned to keep the matter secret and tell the Li people that Wu Yun was hit by a stray arrow and died in the war.
Half of the people in Ye died, and it is impossible for the people to forgive the Li people. But the Li people can still live in the mountains, this is his promise.
But it was still that deputy general. He discovered the rebellion of the Li people and wiped out all of them before the situation became chaotic.
Li Village was originally a small village isolated from the world. Without the witch, how could the villagers left behind defeat the well-equipped army of the deputy general?
After that, it's history that everyone is familiar with. After a great victory in the war, the army returned to the capital. The small town of Yedi was rebuilt and given a new name - Yecheng.
The five generals and General Wang had their own mansions in Yecheng. Because of their friendship, these mansions were built at the easternmost part of Yecheng, closest to the river of Yecheng.
Everyone gained something, such as the deputy city lord’s great-great-grandfather. He was ordered to clean the room where the witch had lived. He found something in the room.
A domino.
After fighting demons for many years, my great-great-grandfather could immediately smell the demon's scent from the bonnets. This made him even more convinced of the witch's betrayal.
But the dominoes did look like good things, like the key to some treasure house. My great-great-grandfather was possessed by a devil and stole these items.
——It was the one that the deputy city lord gave him just now.
"We are to blame for this matter," said the deputy city lord, "but after that, strange things often happened in Yecheng, and people in the city often got strange diseases. Especially our families, the descendants of the five generals, we also got strange diseases one after another, more serious than theirs, and some even died. The Hu family next door has been a single-line family for five generations, and finally had a grandson, but the grandson was a freak. The Liu family has died out. The Jiang family said they would move away a few years ago, and now there is no news. As for the Tian family, only a few people are left. The situation has been getting worse in recent years, and we really can't stand it anymore."
The situation was urgent and I had to ask for help.
Deputy City Lord: "And the symptoms are indeed strange. We have consulted all kinds of doctors. They said that this must be a curse. I know that our ancestors have wronged the Li people, but this incident cannot be avenged on the people of our city, right? Previously, we asked the City Lord to ask him to find people from the big sects to come and help. But the City Lord would not allow it. I guess he felt that family disgrace should not be made public."
"Until a few years ago, the last member of the Liu family died. The city lord didn't let us see how he died, but I heard that all his teeth fell out, but they couldn't find out the reason! It was not until now that the city lord agreed to let us go to find the Qingji Sect."
"I didn't expect that he would disagree after you came. The city lord has lived for more than 400 years. We don't have elixirs, and even if we practice body training, we can only live for more than 100 years, or at most 200 years." The deputy city lord said with a bitter face, "So, this is really an unreasonable request, Immortal, our Qin family cannot be extinct in my generation! What happened 400 years ago is all 400 years ago. Why does this curse not let us go until now?"
As he spoke, he actually covered his shoulder as if he was in unbearable pain.
Just like what happens to those people on the street from time to time.
Ning Mingmei: "Oh, I think I understand a little bit."
system:?
Ning Ming didn't understand anything.
"Curse." Ning Mingmei said, "But these people deserved it, and they ran away, so..."
System: "You don't plan to do it?"
Ning Mingmei: "You have to pay more."
Ning Mingmei took a sip of tea and said, "Deputy City Lord, your order is very complicated. I know that the roots of your Qin family are very valuable, far more valuable than these 7.5 million, but to be honest, your order..."
"This list..."
"The list..."
