Chapter 247 Speculations about Ghost Curse
“Of course it is...”
Chen Yulou subconsciously wanted to answer.
But when he faced Hua Ling's hot and red face, he came back to his senses.
It does not seem appropriate for a man and a woman to live together in the same room.
He didn't care, but Hua Ling still had to wait in the boudoir.
Moreover, the mark of the eyeball where the ghost curse broke out is either on the back of the neck or on the vest. If you want to see it clearly, you must be honest with it.
"Why don't we go down the mountain first and let Miss Hong take a look, so that we can make a better judgment."
"No, no need."
Hua Ling bit her lip, as if Whatever decision was made, it was just as loud as a gnat, so slight that it was almost inaudible.
"What?"
It is precisely because he clearly knows the horror of the red spot curse.
Only then would Chen Yulou propose to see it with his own eyes.
It was completely out of urgency and not intentional.
That’s why I quickly looked for help.
However, Hua Ling's words were obviously beyond his expectations, so that he, who had always been calm, couldn't help but have a strange look on his face.
“Submit authority in emergencies.”
Hua Ling lowered her head.
He walked quickly towards the tent not far away.
Seeing this situation, Chen Yulou still didn't understand. He took a deep breath, suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart, and turned to look at the blue stone that fell on the previous practice place.
After Luofu sent people here.
He just kept combing the colorful feathers on his body.
"Luofu, take care of your surroundings. If there is any movement, notify me immediately."
Leave an instruction.
Chen Yulou didn’t waste any more time, turned around and walked towards the camp.
Occasionally you can see a few snowflakes in the night.
It came with the wind from the snow line of Tianshan Mountain.
The cold wind blowing from Pulei Sea is mixed with a bit of fishy smell. It is no wonder that southern Yunnan and the Western Regions are always accustomed to calling large rivers, lakes and lakes the sea.
I walked past several tents in a row.
There are a few people accompanying me tonight, except for the two brothers, the Partridge Sentinels.
And Kunlun and Yang Fang.
However, the four of them are still immersed in trance at this moment. Listening to their breathing levels, it is estimated that it will not end for a while.
Seeing this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, a man and a woman live together in the same room.
If you are misunderstood, it will be difficult to explain after all.
After a while, Chen Yulou stood outside his tent, with a rare hint of nervousness on his face.
It is hard to imagine that shopkeeper Chen, who has taken over Changsheng Mountain since he was a teenager and has stolen countless royal treasures throughout his life, would be so nervous when facing a little girl.
"Junior Sister Hua Ling, am I coming in?"
The hand that went to lift the curtain hesitated for a moment, but chose to knock on the door first.
“Okay.”
Hua Ling's pretendingly calm voice came.
However, that slight tremor exposed her emotions.
Chen Yulou didn’t think much about it.
It's just...
As soon as he put down the thick curtain to isolate the cold wind and the sound of water, and stood still and raised his head, his pupils subconsciously shrank slightly.
Under dim light.
A tall and fragile figure stood pretty.
The robe outside has been taken off, and the white undergarment has been pulled down a bit.
Revealing a piece of skin as white as snow.
Hua Ling lowered her face, closed her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes were still trembling slightly, and she bit her lips tightly with her teeth, expressing the girl's shyness and reserve in every detail.
"Chen, Brother Chen, have you... seen it?"
Seeing that there was no movement behind him.
Hua Ling's eyes couldn't help but blink slightly, but in the end, she still didn't dare to look back and just asked softly.
"Oh...I'm watching."
Chen Yulou suddenly came back to his senses.
His eyes moved away from the white and glowing skin. e
Finally, it landed between Hua Ling’s left shoulder and the back of her neck.
A red mark shaped like an eyeball appeared clearly in the light. It looked like it had been tortured and burned with a red-hot iron.
"It's really..."
The moment I saw it.
Chen Yulou frowned tightly.
About the curse mark, he had read many descriptions in the book. During his previous trip to Zhelong Mountain, he had seen similar totems many times in the tomb of King Xian.
But this is the first time I have seen it in humans.
The red spot seemed like a demon, emerging from the flesh and staring directly at him.
Chen Yulou's face changed slightly, feeling indescribable discomfort.
But when I looked again, the strange feeling disappeared again, as if everything just now was just an illusion.
"Okay, Junior Sister Hualing, put on your clothes, don't catch a cold."
Secretly exhaled.
Chen Yulou forcibly looked back and said softly.
When he surrounded and killed the six-winged centipede in Pingshan, Partridge Whistle was injured and his energy and blood surged. Although he reacted very quickly and swallowed most of the blood, there was still a trace of blood left in the corner of his mouth.
Golden blood.
That was the first time he saw the evil consequences of the evil curse breaking out to its final stage.
This is the first time he has seen the ghost curse appear.
While he was pondering, Hua Ling had already picked up the cashmere robe on the side and put it on, wrapping her delicate body tightly.
Pulehai is no better than a restaurant in the city.
Their residences have fire pits to provide warmth.
Even if the snow is falling like rain outside and the cold wind is biting, you still can't feel how cold it is. But here, the tent can only cover the howling wind, but the icy cold air is everywhere.
It was as cold as an ice cellar in the tent.
Too much energy and blood was consumed when I came here.
If it lasts for a long time, there is a real possibility of catching a cold.
"Hua Ling, how long has it... been here?"
Seeing her turn around, Chen Yulou asked immediately.
“It really emerged from the back of my neck tonight, but I think it has been there for a while.”
Facing Chen Yulou’s eyes that were as clear as water, without any distracting thoughts. , Hua Ling also calmed down and responded softly.
“Does it start from Hexi?”
After thinking for a moment, Chen Yulou announced a time.
"Brother Chen, how do you know?"
Chen Yulou shook his head and was not in a hurry to explain.
It was easy to tell from Hua Ling’s tone that her judgment was not wrong.
The timeline he gave seemed random and without thought, but it perfectly corresponded to his guess.
The curse of the snake god is indeed overbearing.
Just a glimpse, and it lasted for thousands of years, bringing annihilation to the ethnic group.
But it is not really unsolvable.
For thousands of years, the descendants of Zagrama continued to migrate eastward, which was actually a way.
The farther away you are from the ghost cave, the less affected you will be by the ghost curse.
So in the original book, Partridge Whistle, who wanted to understand everything but was frustrated, followed Thomas across the ocean and went abroad. It was clear that his curse had broken out at that time, and he even vomited golden blood many times, but he still lived into his old age.
We are separated by thousands of miles and countless oceans.
No matter how terrifying the snake god is, he cannot travel across the world to suppress him.
When they were in Xiangyin, they were not affected by ghost curses because they were practicing Taoism and were suppressed by their true energy.
But this trip went to the Kunlun Mountains.
It's like being close to the ghost cave every moment.
The power of the snake god’s curse is naturally increasing.
“Wait a little longer.”
“Your senior brother and the others should be finished soon.”
After thinking about all this, Chen Yulou breathed out secretly and comforted Hua Ling. road.
"Oh...Okay."
Hearing this, Hua Ling didn't dare to ask further questions, so she just nodded in confusion and agreed.
In order to prevent her from being too embarrassed.
Chen Yulou made an excuse at random, opened the door curtain and walked out.
Not long after.
There was finally movement in the silent camp.
Partridge Whistle and the old foreigner walked out of their respective tents one after another.
"Senior brother!"
"Hua Ling? Why are you here?" Originally seeing Chen Yulou standing alone by the lake with his hands behind his hands, Partridge Whistle still wanted to say hello, It wasn't until a familiar voice came that he turned around in shock.
At a glance, he saw the junior sister standing outside the tent.
"Did something happen?"
"Junior sister, why are you here alone?"
The old foreigner who heard the noise also rushed over to see her It was a man, and a trace of worry could not help but flash across his face.
“No, no.”
Hua Ling shook her head.
No time to explain.
A brief description of the red spot curse.
“How could that happen?!”
When he heard her say that eyeball erythema appeared on her body, Partridge Whistle felt as if it had been struck by lightning.
He has worked hard for half his life.
I just want my junior brothers and sisters to not have to make the same mistakes as previous clan members.
He is over thirty.
It is understandable that the curse broke out early.
But Hua Ling is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and has achieved great success in practice. He is only one step slower than him in entering the Qi training level. Why does the ghost curse still break out?
"It shouldn't be."
"Cultivation to suppress curses is a method found by the ancestors of the clan. How could it go wrong?"
Partridge Whistle looked in disbelief.
Cultivation has been verified by him.
He really couldn’t understand why it was useless to his junior sister?
"Brother Dao!"
Just when he was in a state of confusion.
A calm voice came.
"The result is undecided, so you must not mess up your position."
Partridge Whistle looked bitter. If it were other things, he would never be worried at all, but when it comes to curses, it happened in a small How did he calm down with his junior sister?
Seeing this, Chen Yulou could understand.
He just patted his shoulder and turned his gaze to the side.
"Brother, old foreigner, have you noticed anything wrong recently?"
As soon as these words came out, Partridge Whistle's heart jumped, and he subconsciously looked up.
Junior sister is a foregone conclusion. If something happens to the old foreigner again, he really can’t imagine it.
"Me?"
The old foreigner was startled.
To be honest, he also had inexplicable heart palpitations during this period, but he just thought it was because he was too tired from the journey and didn't take it seriously.
But tonight at the lake, just entering meditation took several times the time as usual.
“Untie your clothes.”
One look at his expression, and Chen Yulou probably had an idea.
If there is any further delay, speak immediately.
Seeing his solemn expression, the old foreigner also knew that the situation was urgent and ignored the cold wind howling by the lake. He took off his jacket and cotton lining in a few moments, exposing his upper body and facing away from the group of people.
By the firelight in the camp tent.
Chen Yulou looked attentively.
Same location.
Left shoulder down.
A red spot shaped like an eyeball appeared.
The moment he saw it, Partridge Whistle felt a buzz in his head, strong dizziness and tinnitus, which made him feel like he was in a quagmire and everything was stagnant, and even his face was scratched like a knife. I can't even feel the cold wind above.
“How could it be?”
"It shouldn't be like this."
Partridge Whistle's eyes seemed to have lost focus for a moment, his eyes were empty, and he kept repeating in a low voice.
The fear of being suppressed.
At this moment, burst out again from deep inside.
I thought that after practicing cultivation and finding the legendary Muchen Bead, the curse that had plagued the tribe for thousands of years would no longer be a problem.
And this trip started.
It made him full of expectations.
But he never expected that everything was ready, except for the last step, but something happened at this level.
"Brother Dao, maybe it has appeared on your body too."
I have seen red spots on old foreigners.
Chen Yulou has confirmed 90%.
Looking at Partridge Whistle, who had a slumped face and dull eyes, he suddenly said calmly.
"Me?"
"Yes, the reappearance of the curse is no accident. If you don't believe it, just take off your clothes and take a look."
Hearing this, the pair of Partridge Whistle Finally there was a little light in his gloomy eyes.
Without any hesitation, he quickly took off his Taoist robe.
Sure enough.
It was just as Chen Yulou expected.
On his left shoulder, a clearer eyeball pattern seemed to be about to emerge from the body at any time.
"This..."
Seeing the reactions of him and his junior brothers and sisters.
Even though he couldn't see what was happening behind him, Partridge Whistle also understood the changes that had happened to him.
The outbreak of ghost curse on junior sister can be said to be a special case.
But the old foreigner and himself are all without exception.
This is by no means an accident.
You know, after Pingshan swallowed the golden elixir and entered the practice, he specifically looked in the mirror and the red spots almost disappeared.
“Brother Chen, please give me some advice.”
Partridge Whistle is too confused at the moment and cannot calm down at all.
But Chen Yulou was calm and composed from beginning to end.
With his understanding of the other party.
There must be some speculation.
Hearing what the senior brother said, Hua Ling and the old foreigner both looked over.
"Chen is just guessing for the time being."
Chen Yulou naturally would not make a blind assertion. Instead, he humbled himself first and then spoke slowly.
Wait for his last word.
The three brothers and sisters of Partridge Whistle were all lost in thought.
"It's not impossible. Back then, the prophet of the clan predicted that the way to salvation lies in the east."
"Maybe...he just saw something in the dark."
A long time passed.
The partridge whistle opened his mouth to break the silence.
Except him.
No one knows that the Zagrama clan was once called the Prophet clan.
It is because the prophets in the clan have the ability to predict the future.
It wasn’t until they migrated from a distant continent to the foot of Zagrama Mountain and peeked into the bottomless ghost cave that everything became like this.
The prophetic ability disappears.
Only a terrible curse remains.
"Since Brother Dao agrees, you can rest assured."
"Okay..."
Partridge Whistle nodded.
However, talking about peace of mind, in fact, how can we completely let go of our thoughts.
Wait until Kunlun and Yang Fang wake up from trance.
The group no longer wanted to spend the night by the lake, and returned to the city from the mountain overnight.
Early the next morning.
The sky is getting brighter.
A long camel team set off from Kunmo City.
On this supply trip, in addition to replacing horses with camels, they also brought countless grains, enough to support them across the Black Desert.
After staying for so many days, raising food is also an important reason.
The sky has been clear for a few days.
Thick lead clouds were densely packed.
Like fish scales.
Experienced people will know it at a glance.
This is a sign of the coming snowstorm.
Kunmo City will soon experience heavy snow.
But no one could wait any longer, especially the reappearance of the red spot curse, which was like an invisible mountain pressing on the hearts of the three brothers and sisters, making it breathless.
Reverberating with the crisp sound of camel bells.
The team slowly disappeared from the sight of the city defenders.
