Chapter 379: The Tale of the Curse
The old man and Wu Song sat down, and after a few small talks, the old woman walked in with a set of tea furniture.
The tea leaves are quite good, and they are brewed from mountain springs, smelling the aroma and elegant, and drinking it in the mouth with a hint of bitterness.
The old man put down the teacup and took Wu Song by surprise.
"Why did I know you were cursed as soon as I saw you?"
"That's because, I'm also a victim of the curse!"
"It's been more than a hundred years, and the curse is still wrapped around me, alas!"
After saying that, the old man sighed, and the old grandmother looked gloomy, it was obvious that this curse had brought them great pain, even if they were living well now, they felt extremely lost in their hearts.
"I was only 26 years old at the age of 26, and I met her when I went to study in Europe. ”
The old man looked at the old grandmother, his eyes full of love.
"Alas, young man, don't be surprised, we two old fellows tell you about these things about the old sesame seeds and rotten grains, and we have lived in the mountains for a long time, and sometimes we want someone to talk to. ”
Wu Song nodded, indicating that he was very interested in what the two old men had to say.
Seeing that Wu Song's attitude was very sincere, and there was no perfunctory in the slightest, the old man continued with great interest.
When he was young, this old man surnamed Chen went to Europe to study medicine, and met an old woman who was also from Asia, and her grandmother's name was Qingzi.
Studying under the same professor, getting along day and night, the two quickly developed a good feeling, and after a period of time, it developed into love.
When the two felt that they could talk about marriage and returned to Asia during the holidays, Mr. Chen went to Qingzi's house to ask Qingzi's parents to approve the marriage between them.
Even though he is now a centenarian, Old Man Chen still has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a straight nose and a square mouth, and it is conceivable that he was also a handsome young man when he was young.
In addition, Old Man Chen is polite, elegant and polite, and a high-achieving student, and he is a very good match with Qingzi, Qingzi's parents are very happy and immediately agreed to his request.
With the permission of their parents, they can live and fly with the person they love, and Mr. Chen and Qingzi are also immersed in happiness and begin to prepare for marriage.
When Kiyoko's relatives learned of the good news, one of her distant cousins began to oppose it wildly.
When she was young, Qingzi was beautiful and slender, and her perennial study made her full of intellectual rationality, and she was a beauty with appearance and connotation.
There must be many suitors for such a beauty, and her cousin is one of them, and he is still the craziest one.
However, she didn't like him.
This cousin is not an inconspicuous person, on the contrary, he is the most outstanding male of his generation in the Qingzi family.
He is one of the most proud disciples of the "Eight Divine Streams", and he is young but has a high level of kung fu, and he is deeply respected by his teacher.
Seeing that Kiyoko was about to get married, her cousin begged bitterly, and even forced her to die, but Kiyoko was unmoved.
She has the right to choose the person she loves, and to be with him forever, and it is impossible to give up her happiness because of the opposition of a certain person.
Seeing that Kiyoko's marriage could not be hindered, the cousin was depressed, drunk all day long, and then disappeared from everyone's eyes.
More than ten days later, on the day of the wedding of Old Man Chen and Qingzi, the cousin appeared at their wedding, committed suicide in front of everyone.
When he was dying, he said to Old Man Chen and Qingzi, who were still in shock, with deep resentment.
"At the cost of my blood and my life, I curse you to never be able to unite!"
"You will live a long life, you can live a long time, but you can only look at each other and be immersed in pain!"
When he heard Old Man Chen read out the above words, Wu Song was completely stunned, he didn't expect that there would be such a vicious person.
If you curse Old Man Chen and Qingzi to die, it will be a hundred, but that cousin let the two of them suffer the sin, what a special evil!
Old Man Chen took a sip of the empty teacup and continued.
"At that time, I was young and vigorous, and I was studying medicine, how could I take such ridiculous words to heart?"
"Her cousin killed himself, and blood was spilling all over the ground, and it was obvious that there was no way to have a wedding on such an occasion, so that night, the two of us decided to make a private engagement for life, and no longer need the witness and blessing of others, as long as the two of us knew. ”
"The result ......," Old Man Chen sighed.
"As a result, just as the two of us were about to hug each other, he and I suddenly had a convulsion and both fainted. ”
Granny Kiyoko took over the conversation on the side.
"The days that followed were nothing short of a disaster for us!"
"The two of us can't touch each other, not even our fingers, and sometimes we can't even miss each other in our hearts. ”
"And we can't be apart, as long as we are separated for two hours, there will be an inexplicable danger. ”
"For example, if you are walking on the road, you will get into a car accident, and when you are at home, you will suddenly fall, even if there is nothing on the ground. ”
Old Man Chen brushed his hair and let Wu Song look at a scar on the corner of his forehead.
"That day, Kiyoko went out to buy groceries, and saw an old classmate, who had not seen him for many years, so the two of them went to the café to sit for a while, and I was sitting on the sofa at home reading a book, and it was so decent, the floor lamp suddenly fell down and fell on my head. ”
"Only then did we realize the seriousness of the matter, so we actively began to save ourselves, while reading a lot of books, hoping to find a way to lift the curse from the books, and at the same time visiting people who were able, we even found great magicians and saints, but the result was still the same. ”
Old Man Chen stretched out his hand and pointed to the bookcase.
"I was originally just a surgical specialist, and after so many years, I have become an expert in neurology, internal medicine, brain medicine, etc., but I still can't do anything about the curse. ”
"After a long century, it is only in the last ten years that the effect of the curse has weakened slightly, alas!"
Old Man Chen let out a long sigh and ended his story.
The room was silent, although the two old men had not yet come out of their memories, and Wu Song was also sullen and speechless.
He is only in his twenties, and the goal he pursues is different from these two old men, and losing his true qi is equivalent to losing everything to him.
He was not reconciled!
The key question is, which bastard cursed him?
With his godly body at that time, there was no equal opponent at all, and it was almost impossible to quietly move his hands and feet on him without being noticed!
Troubles are troubles, and I finally understand the reason why the true qi in my body can't function, and I can be regarded as having a harvest, which is much stronger than the previous one.
The three of them talked about it, and when the day began to go west, Wu Song suddenly woke up and said goodbye.
The two old men warmly retained.
Old man Chen said: "Young man, it is difficult for a young man like you to come to the mountains to play, let's stay here for one night, the night of Qixialing is very beautiful." ”
Wu Song politely refused, and Ding Yan on the hospital bed was still in pain.
"Old man, I have to go, a friend of mine is injured, I came here to pick herbs, and she is still waiting for my medicine. ”
"Herbs?"
Old Man Chen turned his head to look at Qingzi, and the two laughed in unison.
"What kind of medicine to pick, you tell me, it's not me this old man who brags to you, I have lived here for decades, and I am studying medicine, so there is no herb I don't know here!"
"Whew!" Wu Song also shook his head, feeling that he was too stupid!
The two people in front of them are almost the land lords of Qixialing, and it is estimated that no one is more familiar with the grass and trees here than them.
With them, why should they wander all over the mountains and wilderness to find them?
"My friend was injured by someone, so I wanted to find a few herbs to treat bruises. ”
Wu Song said the name of the herb he was looking for.
Four-leaf clover, dragon ball seed and kudzu root.
These three herbs are not uncommon, and the effect of taking the three herbs together is better.
When Wu Song finished reporting the name of the herb, Old Ye Chen was stunned, and even Grandma Qingzi was stunned.
"What, you, you don't know?"
"Such a strange name, it's the first time I've heard of it!" Old Man Chen nodded, but he winked at Wu Song and smiled: "But it doesn't bother me!"
He walked to the bookcase and quickly took out a book from it, Wu Song's eyes were sharp, and he saw the title of the book.
Research and Value of Qixialing Medicinal Herbs
At the same time, he also saw the author's name, Chen XX and XX Qingzi.
I have to convince that people who do scholarship are different, even if they are in the barren mountains and mountains, they can still create academic achievements.
Wu Song sincerely admired a few words and opened the book.
There are not only clear pictures of various herbs on the book, but also detailed descriptions, Wu Song turned the pages one by one, and soon found the three herbs.
"Young man, I'm glad I have two brushes, otherwise where else would I put this old face?"
Seeing the picture pointed out by Wu Song, Old Man Chen burst out laughing.
Although it is the same earth, after all, it is not the same era, Wu Song forgot this, he said that the name of the herb and the name on the book of Old Man Chen did not match at all.
"Since it's these three herbs, young man, then I won't keep you, you still have to go a long way. ”
Old Man Chen pulled Wu Song outside the house and pointed to the highest peak.
"Among these three herbs, the four-leaf clover and dragon ball seed you mentioned grow under the slope of the rising sun, and as for the kudzu seedling root, you need to go to the stream at the back of the mountain to find it. ”
Wu Song thanked the two old men gratefully, promised to come and visit them when he was free, and then walked to the destination according to the instructions.
Because the true qi can't work, now he can no longer cross as he wanted like before, and can only walk with his feet step by step.
Fortunately, after years of training, he cultivated both inside and outside, lacked true qi, and his physical strength was still abundant, and the idle mountain road could not defeat him at all.
The peak is in sight.
