Youshu returned to the inner hall holding the broken toad, and saw Zhang Guizheng staring at him with strange eyes. He stepped forward and tore off the forbidden talisman and ordered, "You guard the prince, and I will come when I go."
"Do you want to run?" Zhang Gui stopped him, his expression a little scared, but more of suspicion and killing intent. No matter how extraordinary the ghost doctor's ability is, once it harms the interests of the prince, it should be eradicated. Cangzhou is too important to the prince. Once Cangzhou becomes a barren land, the prince will also lose his foothold in the state of Wei. Only a ghost doctor can solve this situation, so he must die!
Youshu didn't bother with him, and used the method of shrinking the ground into an inch, quickly rushed to the four city gates, and set up a confinement array. If the people of Cangzhou who were infected with the plague were allowed to run out, the entire domain of the master would be affected. Based on his thousands of years of Taoism, he is not afraid of the blood curse, but the so-called "ants will kill the elephant", there are hundreds of thousands of people in Cangzhou. Moreover, if one went to rescue one by one, the more people died later, the more the loss of Cangzhou would be irreversible.
Now he can only trap a city of people, and then slowly think of a comprehensive and fast way. When he returned to Renxin Hall, King Yun had already woken up and was standing under the porch wearing a cloak. , appears sparse and dilapidated. This is only the initial stage. When it comes to the back, it is not difficult to imagine what a horrible scene in Cangzhou, which is deeply incanted.
You Shu, who was still confident, suddenly became timid, and moved to the master step by step, blinking her big black and innocent eyes with all her might, "Are you awake?"
"I'm awake." King Yun smiled slightly and pointed to the handful of minced meat in his hand, "What are you still holding it for?"
"Release the curse for you." Youshu said as a matter of course.
At this time, the young man still cared about his body, which made King Yun's heart feel slightly warm. He tried his best to calm down and said warmly, "I've heard about the previous incident, it's not your fault, but the person who cursed was too vicious. After all, everything started because of me, you and the people of Cangzhou are nothing more than you. It's just a disaster. If I let the people out of the city immediately, can I avoid death?"
"It can't be avoided, it will only make the plague spread rapidly." You Shu shook his head.
King Yu's eyes darkened, and he said in a hoarse voice, "I will order the army to block the city gate. Now, the people will probably blame me."
"If they want to complain, they also complain about me. What does it have to do with you? I have already placed all four city gates in a confinement circle. Unless the mana is higher than mine, no one can go out without permission. Those who left the city before should not have been infected with the curse. However, I will instruct the ghost slaves under me to inquire about it, and if there is an infected person, I will bring it back immediately." You Shu's head drooped lower and lower, looking extremely guilty. It was the first time he had stabbed his master so much.
King Yu didn't care, patted his head and smiled, "My Shushu is really capable. This is the end of the matter, and it is useless to think too much. I will call all the doctors in the city to meet and see if there is any way to curb the plague. spread.”
"Ordinary medical skills may be able to relieve it for a while, but as long as the spell is still there, people and animals will continue to get sick, until all living things in the city die, or a fire burns me." You Shu glanced at the master's face.
King Yu's eyes were slightly cold, he pulled the boy into his arms and hugged him tightly, and said solemnly, "With me here, let's see who dares to touch you. If Cangzhou falls, I'll just die with you."
Only then did Youshu smile with crooked brows and eyes, and both hands circled behind the master and patted gently, and rubbed his forehead on his chest like a puppy, firmly said, "Don't worry, my lord, Cangzhou is your fief, I will definitely I won't let it mess up. Go, remove the spell from your body first." The big thing is not more important than the life of the master.
King Yu was concerned about the people under his rule, but he couldn't bear to flout the good intentions of the young man, so he had to follow him in. Some Shu threw the toad into the earthenware pot, dripping his own blood while chomping the magic tricks. The movements are very similar to Long Shimei, but more mysterious.
Wang Yu waited for him to stop before asking in a low voice, "What are you doing?"
"Refining the Gu Soul." You Shu explained patiently, "One Gu Soul needs to collect the corpses of a hundred Gu Kings, but this toad was hatched from the Gu Soul, so I just need to refine it. The magic in your body is already very weak. If I introduce another gu soul, it will be able to swallow and hatch the remaining magic power with lightning speed. The person who casts the curse will never imagine that it will appear in the world. The second Gu soul, it's too late to self-destruct. I like to see him trying to kill us, but he can't do anything about it. Just wait, this matter is over, he will definitely lead us to the capital, then I will I'm going to unscrew his head and use it as a stool for you." Hua Luo realized that his words were too rude, and hurriedly covered his mouth with his hands.
"Screw off his head and use it as a stool for me to sit on. Who did you learn this from?" King Yung poked his eyebrows angrily.
With you, who else could it be? You Shu replied silently.
While speaking, there was a rumbling noise in the crock pot, as if many air bubbles were coming out. Youshu immediately changed to another magic formula, concentrated on refining, and obtained a radiant Gu soul an hour later. King Yu swallowed it without hesitation, and finally looked into the evil mirror.
As soon as the Gu soul touched the scorpion on the heart talisman, it turned into a mass of solution to cover it, and it faded and shrunk in an instant, and finally solidified into a goose-yellow worm egg. As soon as you move the worm's egg, it quickly breaks its shell, and a half-inch-long lilac little scorpion emerges from it. It made a few turns on the heart talisman, as if it heard the master's call, and slowly crawled out.
To be honest, the process of spitting out the little scorpion was not that wonderful, and Wang Yu poured several bowls of hot tea in succession before he recovered. Over there, You Shu couldn't let go of the little scorpion lying in the palm of his hand. While poking at its translucent shell, he happily said, "Gu Soul is a sacred artifact of Miao Jiang, but it has been passed down to this day, and its real usage is even Miao. No one knows, otherwise, it will not be easily cast on a death row prisoner. The so-called ghost is not for restraining spells, nor for making puppets. Refining and hatching it requires the soul of the caster. Therefore, it is actually the avatar of the caster, which can accompany the caster to grow and become stronger, and at the critical moment, it is an extra life for the caster."
"What do you say?" King Yu finally became interested.
"It has a strand of my soul in its body. Once I die, the soul will follow this strand of soul into its body for storage." Youshu kissed the little scorpion's raised tail and continued, "For the sake of Resurrect me, it will find the most suitable body nearby to get in and let me grab the house. Of course, after I grab the house, it will also go dormant because of the exhaustion of soul silk, and it will take a long time to wake up. Wait until it wakes up , I can do the same when I encounter danger. In other words, with it, it is equivalent to having endless life. This is also the reason why the ghost is listed as the top ten sacred objects in Miaojiang. It’s a pity that thousands of years have passed, Miao Jiang's inheritance of witch and gu has been cut off, and there are treasures in the air, but they don't know what they are, but they have given me a good deal in vain."
A long time ago, Youshu wanted to raise a Gu soul, but he couldn't get it. His body won't age, but that doesn't mean he won't die. He is also flesh and blood. He feels pain and hurts. If he breaks his head or breaks his heart, he will never exist. Because he is not a person in this world, he cannot enter reincarnation.
This means that once he dies, he will never be able to reunite with his master again. Over time, it has become a hidden worry buried in his heart. When Long Shimei took out the Gu soul, no one knew how he was ecstatic. As for the deceitful way of stealing the house, it was completely out of his consideration. He comes from the last days, and the code of conduct of the last days has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, that is - to live without compromise.
The more she thought about it, the more joyful she became, and Yu Shu pouted like a puppy to the little scorpion in her palm. The little scorpion touched his thin lips lightly with the tip of his tail, but he did not attack, but looked very intimate.
King Yu felt sour in his heart, but he didn't dare to approach because he hated insects, so he covered his chest and pretended to be sick, which made Shu jump up. At the end, they kissed tightly and lingeringly.
In the imperial city, in a certain palace, the big demon who was attacked by the curse was sitting cross-legged in the hot spring pool to adjust his breath, but suddenly spewed a few mouthfuls of blood, dyeing the clear pool water red. The spell is guided by the blood of its heart. Once it is broken, it will pierce its heart. Although it will not fall, it can cause it to lose all its mana and its lifespan. Not to mention that it cannot be recovered within a hundred years. Centuries are in vain. And will it survive until then? The answer is obviously no.
I thought that what I got was a great opportunity, but I didn't expect to kill a Cheng Yaojin halfway, destroying its plan as much as possible. Song Youshu, if you don't die, I won't give up! This time I want to see how you break the blood curse!
After a while, there was a frantic and resentful laughter from the palace.
The power of the blood curse was enormous, and in just one day, the once prosperous Cangzhou Mansion became lifeless. The trees are yellowing and withering, the animals are dying, the faces of the people are gray, and their spirits are weak. Some old and weak women and children have fallen ill, and many black plaques appear on their bodies.
"Burn the ghost doctor to death! Burn the ghost doctor to death!" The people who used to respect ghost doctors like gods wished they could light a fire with their own hands and burn the Renxin Hall and the people inside it to ashes. Why did he cast spells to block everyone's escape route? All this was caused by him, and he deserved to die!
"Throw it! Just throw it in, there will always be a torch that will fall in!" The young and middle-aged people who still had some physical strength threw the lit torches, but they were blocked by an invisible wall.
"Everyone, calm down, don't be impulsive. The plague can be cured. The lord is calling the doctor to study the treatment plan. If you have the strength to make trouble, you might as well go home and wait in peace." Zhou Miaoyin rolled the cardboard into a microphone and shouted repeatedly.
But the people have gone mad and will not listen to dissuasion at all. In the face of the threat of death, everyone is equal, and everyone is crazy. In order to survive, they can do anything. This is their nature. The more Zhou Miaoyin persuaded them, the more angry they became. Someone brought a large barrel of tung oil, sprinkled it around Renxintang, and then ignited it without hesitation.
The orange-red flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the faces that were either pale, blue, or dark. Their expressions were grim, their faces were distorted, and their eyes were full of hatred. The ghost doctor must die! What if the king was in there? When he died, someone else would naturally take over Cangzhou, and he would still be able to live his life.
Between "the death of others" and "the death of oneself", nine out of ten people will choose "the death of others". The ghost doctor and King Yu.
Youshu stood under the porch and listened for a while, his face did not fluctuate at all, until the fire snake jumped into the air, causing the master to narrow his eyes in discomfort. .
"This deity puts the words here. With the deity in charge, the Cangzhou government will never die. But if you are disrespectful to the deity and the prince, the deity will be happy to send a few to the Yanluo Temple to report first, so as to kill the chickens and show the monkeys." He said. The coldness and anger in his tone made the entire Cangzhou Mansion tremble, and the flames soaring into the sky were gradually extinguished by the pressure of his majestic emperor, and in the end not even a wisp of blue smoke could come out.
The troubled people fell silent for a moment, showing a look of fear and hesitation.
You Shu took this opportunity to take out a blank imperial decree and quickly fill it out with a yin and yang pen. This imperial decree has a great background. It was left by the master when he served as King Yama. In the eyes of mortals, it may be just a valuable antique, but in the eyes of the ghosts of the underworld, it is an edict like a mountain, which cannot be defied.
"Where is Lu Juing and Chenghuang? Come to lead the decree quickly!" At the end of the last stroke, he stomped his foot, causing the ground to shake three times.
The people who had been overwhelmed by suspicion and fear and were about to continue to make trouble fell one after another, and finally realized who the ghost doctor was calling under the sudden change of heartbeat. Lu Ju should be a judge surnamed Lu; Cheng Huang, that is the immortal in charge of a state. He De He Neng, the ghost doctor, dared to issue an imperial decree for them to come and accept it. Did he think he was the King of Yama
Just thinking about this, two puffs of blue smoke appeared on the ground. When the smoke cleared, two men in official uniforms were kowtowing to the ghost doctor with sincerity and fear, calling them adults.
"From today onwards, no ghosts are allowed to arrest ghosts in my Cangzhou Mansion, but those who violate the law will be punished with dignity." In the eyes of others, the ghost doctor is still the ghost doctor, but in the eyes of Chenghuang and Lu Ding, this person has Covered by a mask with a black background and purple pattern, he was also wearing the imperial robes of the previous Underworld Lord. No underworld master can unify the ghost world and the hell like the previous underworld master. He suddenly appeared and suddenly disappeared. His unfathomable magic power and unspeakable actions have become an unspeakable existence in the underworld.
The latter two underworld masters were all his close followers, and they dared not to obey his orders. Cheng Huang was so shocked that his head was sweating, and Lu Ju was also terrified. He had known that Shu was very personable, but he didn't expect him to be so big.
You Shu, who pretended to be a fox and a tiger, tried to imitate the master's momentum and threw out the imperial decree. The two ghost immortals hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, and then drew a barrier to prevent the souls of the Cangzhou people from leaving their bodies. In other words, even if the plague penetrates deep into the heart, as long as there is Shu who does not let them die, they will not die.
It was only then that the troubled people realized what kind of existence they had provoked, and even the guards who were standing on the sidelines were too weak to stand. Although the conversation between the three was only a few short sentences, the information revealed was terrifyingly huge. What kind of person can command a ghost? What kind of people can make the Lord of the Underworld obey? What kind of person can control the life and death of a city's people
Where is the immortal method used by the ghost doctor? He himself is a fairy!
The troublemakers fell on their knees, begging for forgiveness. They still remember what the adults said before, they should send a few to the Yama Temple to report. Knowing that he has the ability to control mortal life and death, how can everyone dare to make trouble, and still sit quietly at home
Except for the master, Youshu has never cared about anyone, and naturally he will not care about them. Zhou Miaoyin, who was stunned, hooked his index finger and said softly, "Come in with me."
Zhou Miaoyin was stunned for a moment before entering Renxin Hall under the shoving of the apprentice, and asked repeatedly, "Are you an immortal? You turned out to be an immortal? Oh my god, I actually saw an immortal with my own eyes! I will also discuss with you. You have mastered medical skills!" She shouted after realizing it, "It's not fair! I'm a mortal, and I used mortal methods, but you beat me with immortal magic! This is cheating, cheating!"
"I'm not an immortal, I'm just a little bit of passage." Youshu rubbed the roots of her ears and took a few steps to hold her master's cold hand. He is not an immortal, the master is. If he hadn't been implicated by himself, where would the master be in such a troubled situation now? So even if he gave his life, he would not let the demon touch a hair of his master.
Zhou Miaoyin hurriedly surrendered to King Yu, but she no longer had the feelings she had in the past. Instead, she complained in her heart: It turns out that the gods will also stir up the foundation, and no one will believe it if they say it.
"Although ghosts won't hold their souls, when the body festers to a certain extent, some people will become living dead, and the situation will be even worse. Therefore, I need your help now." Youshu confessed to Zhou Miaoyin.
"You mean those people will turn into zombies?" Zhou Miaoyin's mind turned quickly.
"What is a zombie?" King Yu interjected.
Zhou Miaoyin hurriedly explained to the two ancients what a zombie was, and finally said worriedly, "You mean, that edict is just drinking poison to quench thirst? But what can I help you with? It will take at least several months to develop a cure for the plague. I'm afraid it's too late. Moreover, even if the cure is out, the curse will still be there, and the disease will always flare up again."
"It only takes half a month for me to unravel the spell. Before that, I want to use your spiritual spring." Youshu is confident.
"But my spiritual spring is extremely yin qi."
"I can temper it with something of the sun and make it an elixir that anyone can drink."
"Really? Well, I'll dump it for you." Zhou Miaoyin rolled up her sleeves.
You Shu sincerely thanked him, and when the dry well in the courtyard was filled with spiritual springs, he threw Nine Yang Wood, Lie Yang Talisman, Golden Crow Tail Feather and other objects into it. These are the collections that he has accumulated for thousands of years, and they are all gone today, but as long as they can help the master, there is nothing to regret. Wang Yu also gradually realized what the young man had paid for himself, and the feeling of confusion was finally replaced by firmness.
After the riot just now, new rumors spread quickly, and the people learned that the ghost doctor not only blocked the road out of the city, but also blocked Huangquan Road. Burning a mortal can save the whole city, no one will hesitate, but if a sage is burned to death, who has the courage? Don't be afraid of being punished!
Since the immortals can order the ghosts, they can naturally lift the blood curse, they just need to wait. Just thinking about this, I heard someone shout, "Look, what is that?"
I saw the mist rising from the Renxin Hall, and it gathered in the mid-air to form one after another purple clouds with gold, which spread thousands of miles away in a matter of seconds, including the entire Cangzhou Mansion. The thick purple electric light exploded in the air, followed by the rain, which was inhaled into the lungs and immersed in the skin, forcing the black plague out and turning it into nothingness.
"The immortals have appeared! We are saved!" There was jubilation outside the door.
"It really works!" Inside the door, Zhou Miaoyin cried with joy.
"It's just a temporary containment. More plagues have turned into insects and burrowed into tree trunks, brick cracks, and the ground. When the rain dries up, they will continue to make trouble." You Shu broke off the branches beside him and pulled out a piece from the tree core. Only black worms, crushed into pieces.
"Then what should I do?" Zhou Miaoyin became anxious.
"I have my own way. You just come here every day and pour water into this dry well." The water from the well, which turned dark purple, is still boiling, constantly throwing mist into the clouds.
"How long will it take? The polar sun on your body will always be exhausted, right?"
"Seven days is enough." Youshu returned to the inner room and continued to fold paper cranes. Wang Yu also helped to fold them together, and from time to time, they leaned in and kissed the side of the boy's cheek or lips, saying that he wanted to find some sense of security and authenticity.
Zhou Miaoyin stood outside the window and watched for a while, feeling that she had suffered a 10,000-point crit, rubbing her painful chest and turning back in anger.
The people thought that the blood curse would be lifted once the spiritual rain summoned by the ghost doctor, but the next day, the plague turned into tiny insects burrowing out of the cracks in the ground, brick walls, and tree trunks, crawling on their legs, watching. more terrifying. They stumbled and ran to Renxintang, shouting for help, but they couldn't wait for the ghost doctor's response. At noon, there was another spiritual rain, which solved the crisis.
This was the case for many days after that. Everyone was tormented repeatedly in hope and despair, and some of them couldn’t hold it any longer. Inexplicably, the idea of killing gods arose.
On this day, a group of people came to Renxintang with torches, and even some of the elites of King Yu participated in it, shouting and insulting, and throwing torches at the wall. They want to live, want to get out of the city, and want to escape this human purgatory, so people block the killing Buddha and block the killing Buddha.
After folding the paper cranes for seven days and seven nights in a row, Yushu already had a splitting headache. If it wasn't for the reconciled spiritual spring water to replenish her vitality, she would have fallen down long ago. King Yu was also very tired, and was resting in the warm arms of the young man.
Youshu fixedly looked at the master for a while, and then kissed his forehead cherishly, and then released the paper crane that had been eye-catching. The people outside the door first heard the sound of the tide hitting the shore from far to near, and when they stood on tiptoe, they saw many paper cranes flying out of the Renxin Hall, rendering the sky golden. They lingered left and right, flew up and down, pecked out the plague that was attached to the human body, livestock, trees, and even the ground, and devoured them with their necks raised.
Zhou Miaoyin stood under the porch and looked out, and in the end she was deeply impressed by Manager Song's methods. Is there anything in the world that he can't solve? About no.
