Chapter 70: Dire Poison Curse (1)
I didn't quite understand what Yu An said, but even if I asked again, he didn't want to say it again.
A few days later, when I was discussing with Yu An how to assassinate and fight, the female musician who exchanged the hexagram found me. She told me that she accidentally sprained herself while practicing dancing, and because the injury was in the thigh, it was inconvenient for the doctor to treat her, so she was sent to me.
Since Yichen dares to rest assured that he will hand it over to me for diagnosis and treatment, the injury that he wants to come to the palace will not be too serious. So, I followed the female music merchant to redeem the hexagram and met the main palace. After some examination, I asked Shang to take ice water to compress the wound cold, and I prepared to go up the mountain to collect some herbs and then apply them to the injured person. Shang thought that it was too time-consuming to go back and forth between the mountains and the mountains, so he led me to a small room in the backyard of the hexagram.
"It's common for our sisters to sprain their feet, so Yichen deliberately left some herbs here, can you see if they can be used?" Shang opened a four-step square mezzanine room, in which there were piles of miscellaneous items, and a few baskets of sun-dried herbs were placed on the wooden shelves next to the door. I picked a few branches of red peony, Jiang Li, angelica, and elderberry from them, and said happily: "With these, I can already top the top, and I will send a small pot of medicinal wine brewed by the master later." ”
"It's okay for you to say yes, let's go quickly! It's eerie here. Shang glanced at the wall on the left and leaned towards me.
"What's wrong?" I followed her gaze and looked at the wall on my left, and there was nothing but a few black spots at the top.
"Next door there is a man who has been cursed by the sorcerer with a Dire curse, and he is crazy and sick, and I am afraid that he will not survive this spring." Shang tugged at my sleeve and walked out.
"Who's locked up? How I hadn't heard of it before. "I've always been curious, and I heard that this matter is related to Mingyi's witchcraft, so I need to ask about it.
"Let's go first, I'll tell you when I get back!" Shang pulled me and trotted all the way back to the front yard.
Before entering the house, I heard the noisy sound of women chattering in the room of the palace, and when I opened the curtain, I saw that the sisters who had exchanged hexagrams were all crowded in the room. Gong is the head of the hexagram female music, and her injury makes it natural for other sisters to be unable to dance. The mama who taught the dance simply let everyone go for a day.
"Oh, I didn't scare me to death with the medicine just now, this little girl still asked and refused to leave." Shang stroked his chest and frowned and walked to the bed of the palace, looking frightened.
"Well, that's the last two days. I saw it when Yichen came the month before, and said that it was the latest to stay up and not be able to start spring. Yu, who was sitting next to the palace, sighed and shook his head and said, "It's a fool to be a fool if you don't do it, you want to run away with a hunter." ”
When I heard this, I was not in a hurry to go out to wash the medicine, and asked curiously: "Sister Yu, is the person in charge of the original hexagram in that room?" ”
"No, after Lan Ji left, she was promoted to the head of the house. It's a pity that a good future was ruined by a man. Gong rubbed his wound and sighed.
"Orchid?" I was shocked, "But now the world-famous Zheng Nu Lanji?" ”
"My sister has heard of her too? Lan Ji used to be our chief diviner, and I was only twelve years old when she went out. Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, she had already become a guest of the prince's doctor. Gong's tone was full of envy, and many of the sisters in the house also looked fascinated.
"What's the good of going out? I would like to stay here for the rest of my life, not to serve men and concentrate on dancing, and to be a teacher in the future. "It was Xiaoqiu who was the same age as me who spoke, with white skin and a very upright appearance.
"You're reluctant to part with the sunspot of the Gen hexagram, right?" Shang took his finger and poked it on the door of Xiaoqiu's head, and giggled, "It's just that people don't know if they recognize you as a good sister." ”
Xiaoqiu blushed and said angrily: "Who is rare about him!" I heard from someone who came back from outside that the Yao girl who went out with Lan Ji died, and she died an ugly death. ”
"This Yao girl is also a female musician who redeems hexagrams?" I couldn't help but blurt it out.
"My sister came in late, so I don't know. This Yao girl is a strange person, she was originally the last female musician of the hexagram, and then somehow went to the trigram, and then went out of Tianshu with Lan Ji. Unexpectedly, it was actually a blessing. Shang twisted an ice handkerchief and put it on Gong's leg.
Gong rubbed his legs and said: "How can she only enjoy glory when she does things for the lord, and it is also her blessing to die." This is our life, and we have no one to blame. ”
If Yao Nu and Lan Ji are both from Tianshu, then this is the place where the Jin Guozhi Clan trained assassins and dead soldiers? They sent merchants and musicians to inquire about the intelligence of various countries; The purpose of cultivating warriors and assassins was to purge political opponents; Witchcraft, medicine, and strategists are backup support. In this way, it is very likely that the previous customer, business and trading theory are lying to me......
"Ashi, what are you thinking? The face is so ugly. Shang touched my forehead and said with concern.
Yu covered his lips and smiled, took my hand and said, "But scared my sister?" We are all people who have died once, and it is a great blessing to be able to repay the kindness of the Lord in this life. You, if you can't be a girl, you can follow Yichen to learn medicine with peace of mind, and ensure that you live to ninety-nine safely! ”
"What am I afraid of!" In order not to let everyone notice my abnormality, I cleared my throat and changed the topic casually, "Sister Shang, you haven't finished your story yet!" ”
"The girl with dead eyes is still thinking about it! Mama won't let us discuss this matter in private, and if I do, you won't be allowed to sue me in front of Mama. ”
"Got it." A few of my new sisters and I nodded in unison.
"Then I'll leave it at that." Shang moved to my side and said slowly, "Last winter, a hunter who lived at the foot of Huashan got lost and accidentally broke into Tianshu, but he happened to meet the master who practiced dancing. We all know that there has always been a rule here that no one can enter, and the master was afraid that he would be discovered by his grandmother, so he hid people in his room. This man and woman are in the same room, and sooner or later something will happen. Later, the two of them fell in love for a long time, so they planned to escape together. But there was an ecstasy tent ahead, and they went around and around in it for three days, and finally they were caught by the men sent by the lady. As a warning to the sisters, the Orion was fed dumb medicine by the Medic and locked up in a cave in the back mountain, and the sorcerer was ordered to cast a Dire Charm on the hair of the Lord. Since then, she can't sleep at night, there are mountain ghosts knocking on her door every night, and there are many bats hanging on the trees in the backyard, which makes people scared when they see it! ”
"And then?"
"Later, Lord Dui fell ill, and we didn't dare to see her again." Xiaoqiu said timidly.
"Why don't you just kill them? It's better than suffering separately like this. I sighed.
"The sorcerer said that the Dire Curse only kills those who deserve it. It was her sin to die to the lord, and if she didn't die, let her drink the dumb medicine and go with Orion to plow the fields for the doctor. However, it seems that she will not survive. ”
"Hey, it's a pity......" everyone sighed.
Although Yu An asked me not to cause trouble in the past few months to attract the attention of Mrs. Wuyin, since Ming Yi has left such an opening, maybe the woman in this backyard will have a chance to survive!
