When the sky was bright, the adulterers in the house came out refreshed and disguised themselves as the guardians they had been yesterday.
As I walked out of the yard, I saw several little girls kneeling in a row against the wall, holding their heads in their hands, sniffling and looking pitiful.
Zhao Changhe was amused: "What are you doing?"
The girls muttered, "Bringing you food."
Zhao Changhe also discovered that they all had a small basket on their heads with various cakes and pastries on it.
"You're welcome." Zhao Changhe happily took a piece of cake and handed it to Yue Hongling behind him: "Our etiquette of delivering food is very cute..."
"Who said this is etiquette?" The girls said, "We were punished by the Saint to be here... She is seeking revenge."
Yue Hongling glared at Zhao Changhe, talking nonsense about "our etiquette" as if he knew everything. Fortunately, the girls were not cunning, otherwise this sentence would have exposed the truth.
Zhao Changhe lowered his head and ate the cake in embarrassment without saying anything.
As a result, I almost spit it out after taking a bite.
I thought this was the famous local flower cake, and it looked like that on the outside, but when I bit into it, it was filled with all kinds of fried insects, which made my scalp tingle.
Yue Hongling's scalp tingled when she saw this, and she almost wanted to throw away the cake in her hand.
As a result, the little girl in front of me was still saying: "Wow, this fried grasshopper was originally mine... Wow, it smells so good..."
Zhao Changhe: “…”
Yue Hongling: “…”
The two of them stopped throwing the cakes. I thought Sisi was trying to trick them, but now she seems to be a good person
Yue Hongling calmly stuffed the cake back into the little girl's hands: "Then give it to you. How dare I snatch your food..."
"The Saint doesn't allow us to have breakfast..."
"It's okay, we'll ask her for mercy."
The two of them ran away, with Zhao Changhe still holding the cake he had taken a bite of, hesitating all the way: "Should I say it, it's actually quite delicious..."
Yue Hongling was furious: "Because it's given to you by Sisi, it must be delicious, right? I'll give you a Gu when the time comes, and it won't kill you!"
"No, it smells really good..."
"Go to hell, don't kiss me with that mouth after you eat it!"
The two of them were arguing as they went to find Sisi. Sisi popped up on the way and looked at the quarreling couple with a smile. She felt quite happy that she had caused family disharmony. She said in a gentle voice, "Oh, stop arguing. It's all Sisi's fault. I forgot that you don't have the habit of eating these..."
The two men stopped talking and stared at her.
Sisi smiled and said, "Speaking of which, Sister Yue said that wandering around the world was very hard, but it seems that she has never been in a truly desperate situation, otherwise she would eat anything, let alone insects."
“Hmm…” Yue Hongling thought for a moment and admitted, “I have indeed never reached the end of my rope… Well, if Changhe hadn’t come to pick me up the day before yesterday, I would have escaped into Cangshan Mountain, and that would have been possible.”
This sentence almost turned the family discord into tenderness and love. Sisi regretted it so much that she immediately said, "So it's delicious. Why not try it? It's shameful to waste food."
He turned around and led the two into his room, setting out real flower cakes and fruit wine: "Today, or tomorrow at the latest, Lei Zhentang will definitely hold a joint meeting of the five clans. I think we should talk about some serious business..."
Yue Hongling said, "I thought you were talking about business last night, so I didn't bother you. What were you doing?"
“Ah?” Sisi looked at her head and said, “I forgot… The person who was made to feel humming and humming all night long was indeed me, Sisi… Miss Yue is a little green on the head…”
Yue Hongling: “…”
You can still say that, right
Zhao Changhe couldn't hold it in any longer. "Let's get down to business. We are hiding here in the Bai tribe. You still have people in your village. Aren't you afraid that the village will be attacked by Lei Zhentang? You seem to be quite relaxed."
Sisi shook her head: "Assassination is fine, but sending troops to fight the Five Clans Alliance openly is something that goes against the will of the world. Not to mention that the Bai and Yao tribes will be angry, even the other small tribes that follow the trend will not sit idly by and watch. They will first fall into an endless civil war. So we just need to protect ourselves... In fact, the more we walk in the open, the less problems we will have. It's best not to hide alone somewhere, hmm..."
I don't know if this counts as revenge or abuse of power for personal gain. On the surface, it's hard to refute this. The couple looked at each other and said nothing. Sisi felt a sense of victory, chewing the flower cake leisurely, her eyes curved with a smile: "As for us... How did you gain from your sword test of hundreds of tribes? Is there anything you need me to explain about witchcraft or curses?"
You eat the flower cakes yourself, it looks so beautiful, let us eat the bugs...
Zhao Changhe complained in his heart, saying, "Whether it's a Gu thing that affects itself or hurts the enemy, at least you can see the signs. How do you break the curse? It's too silent and there's no way to defend against it."
"A curse requires a medium and a certain amount of time to cast. It cannot be used in a normal one-on-one situation. The worst thing is that if the spell is cast in advance, you will be cursed without even knowing it."
Zhao Changhe said: "Of course there must be restrictions. Having such obvious restrictions is already a headache. What would happen if there were no restrictions?"
Sisi smiled and said, "Don't worry too much. This is not completely unsolvable... First of all, the more powerful the curse, the higher the prerequisites. For example, you need to collect your fingernail hair, make a straw man, and use various methods to curse for dozens of days. It may even cost the caster's life. Generally speaking, you don't have to worry about such a strong method."
Yue Hongling asked: "What about the general ones?"
"Generally speaking, in fact, its essence is still to affect your soul or body in a way that is within the established scope of the Heavenly Dao. As long as your cultivation is at a higher level, you can naturally resist it... This is actually the same theory as resisting poison." Sisi said, with a gloomy look in her eyes: "We once tried to use the power of the whole family to curse one person, but it was like the wind blowing on the face, and it had no effect at all... My father..."
He stopped talking and said slowly: "That's why I think martial arts is the foundation, and these strange skills can only be used as an auxiliary. The Southwest Hundred Houses are still good, and they still value themselves. The spirits were too extreme in the past... I came out for this, and I was bullied by some enemy..."
Yue Hongling pondered and said, "What kind of practice is needed to completely ignore these?"
Sisi shook her head: "I don't know, there must be a triple secret treasure, right? Of course, if it corresponds to the general situation, I feel that the double secret treasure is about the same level as the Earth Ranking level?"
Zhao Changhe said: "That's not something we can ignore now, or do we need some solution?"
"It is solvable. For example, when you were at Erhai Lake that day and were under the weakness curse, I saw you trying to resolve it yourself... And yesterday's blood curse happened to hit your strong point. But your efficiency in resolving it yourself is very low, and you didn't completely resolve it during the entire battle..." Sisi propped up her chin and said, "We have medicine to prevent it, which can at least last for a few days. I just don't know if you are willing to take it."
Zhao Changhe asked: "Why don't you want to eat?"
"The curse can be removed, but the poisonous insect that has entered your body cannot be removed. Once it is completely integrated with your body, if you want to remove the poisonous insect, you will be useless." Sisi showed a charming smile: "Master, do you dare to eat something of unknown origin given by Sisi?"
Zhao Changhe looked down at the bugs in the pancake and suddenly felt a little scared.
"This is Miaojiang." Sisi put away her smile and said calmly, "Miaojiang is like this, and the spirit tribe is even worse. Do you still want to join the spirit tribe?"
Zhao Changhe looked up at her eyes, then looked down at the worm in the cake. Suddenly he opened his mouth and took a big bite, smiling brightly: "If you dare to give it to me, I dare to eat it."
Sisi looked at Zhao Changhe eating the cake with big mouthfuls, her eyes seemed to be misty and hazy.
After watching him eat the whole cake, he slowly said, "The preventive medicine has been taken. For seven days, you will ignore the curse."
Yue Hongling frowned and wanted to advise Zhao Changhe to be more careful, but she didn't say it out loud.
In this situation, what else can you do except believe Sisi? If you insist on not believing, you will only make things worse for yourself.
Then one person eats and the other doesn't, so that if anything goes wrong, the other person can take care of it.
Sisi stood up and stretched, then bent down and whispered in Yue Hongling's ear: "Don't worry about your lover... I've already betrayed him, and I don't want to do it again. Since he still dares to trust me, I won't betray him."
Yue Hongling smiled slightly: "I hope so."
"Saintess, Saintess." A little girl ran in from outside: "Chief Dao sent someone to say that Lei Zhentang sent an envoy to ask us to go to Dali for a banquet and asked us what we think."
"This is a Hongmen Banquet. The crisis is even greater than yesterday. Only a fool would go to Dali to die." Sisi sneered, "Ask them to come here for a meeting. Our two tribes are here. Are we not qualified to be the host?"
The little girl ran back to deliver the message. Sisi looked at Zhao Changhe and Yue Hongling and said, "Have you recovered from your injuries? They have two more on the Earth Ranking. If we can't suppress them in the first meeting, then all we have done before will be empty talk."
The expressions of the adulterers were somewhat solemn.
Two Earth Rankings... Lei Zhentang's strength combined with the art of witchcraft is a mystery, but that's fine.
The real trouble is Shi Wuding, if he comes too...
At the top of the Earth List, they should be the opponents of Suzaku, Xuanwu and Tang Wanzhuang. Can the two of them handle them
