When the guards arrived with torches, I was already lying down beside Si'er.

The life-and-death gamble between Lan Ji and me has obviously begun, but how did she know about the medicine man? What does this woman have to do with Qi Guo Chen? With a stomach full of questions, I fell asleep in a daze. On the second day, before dawn, the head of the Zhifu knocked on my door with two dark circles under his eyes.

"Wizard, did you sleep well last night?" The ruler entered the house and left the servants outside.

"It's good, it's just that the housekeeper is haggard and hasn't changed his clothes, but he hasn't slept all night?" I washed my face with the handkerchief that Si'er handed me.

The old man bowed: "Let the wizard laugh." Last night there were thieves in the house, and they made trouble all night, but fortunately they were far away from the wizards. After speaking, the housekeeper lowered his head and took out a black jade plaque from his bosom and presented it to me, "This is the jade plaque that the head of my family carries with him, and it is kept by the sorcerer." The head of the family said that during the period of unwinding the curse, all the sins of disrespect should be forgiven to the sorcerer, and even the son of the world must obey the sorcerer's arrangement. In addition, after the spell is lifted, the head of the family will also be rewarded with another 100 gold. ”

"Please thank the sect master for his son!" I took Zhi Yao's black jade plate from the hand of the housekeeper and hung it on my waist, and I was frustrated for a while, I was reckless last night, and now even if I have this jade card, I can't enter that strange courtyard anymore.

"Housekeeper, everything is ready." A temple man stood outside the door and shouted.

"Sorcerer, please come with the contemptible!" Lao Zai took me and Si'er out of the door and entered Zhiyan's house all the way.

At this time, Zhiyan hadn't gotten up yet, and there were two rows of green-clothed maids kneeling outside the curtains on all sides, holding various washing utensils in their hands. The old man led me to the front, and the two servants immediately got up and rolled up the curtains.

"Shizi, it's time to get up." The old man knelt beside Zhiyan and whispered.

Zhiyan fell asleep motionlessly, and the old man called a few more times, but he still didn't move.

"Let me try!" I stepped forward and smiled and gently stroked my sleeve over Zhiyan's face. His nose twitched, and he woke up with a sharp sneeze.

"The son of the world is awake?" The old man's eyes were full of awe when he looked at me at this time, "The day before the Taishi said that the sorcerer was the son of God who entered the world, and he was suspicious of it, but now he really believes it." ”

"Who is he?" Zhiyan sat up with his forehead and asked angrily.

"This is a sorcerer from Taishi Mansion, and the head of the family specially invited him to unravel the spell for the prince." The Jae-jae knelt down and took two steps forward, courteously introducing me to Ji-yeon.

"The sorcerer has seen the son!" I sat down on my knees and bowed.

"A spell that Taishi can't solve, how can he be a wizard?" Zhiyan glanced at me with slanted eyes, then closed his eyes again and waved his hand indiscriminately, "Jiazai, give him hardware, and send someone back!" ”

"I can't help it! Last night, the sorcerer chanted the mantra, and the son of the world had to sleep peacefully! The housekeeper leaned over and replied.

Zhiyan slowly opened his eyes when he heard this, he looked at me suspiciously for a long time, and asked, "Are you a man or a woman?" ”

Since I entered the Taishi Mansion, Shi Mo told me to dress up as a man when I walk outside, and my body has gone up a lot this year, but no one asks me whether I am a man or a woman anymore.

"If Zi Di is a witch, how can he be qualified to remove the curse for the son of the world?" I bowed my head and replied.

Zhiyan glanced at me, coughed twice, lifted the quilt and walked out, and then changed and washed in front of me as if no one was around, and the contempt was obvious.

He's not in a hurry, and I'm naturally not in a hurry. But the housekeeper on the side couldn't help it, he got up and whispered a few words in Zhiyan's ear, and Zhiyan's face turned white at once. He snatched the leather belt from his servant's hand and tied it around his waist haphazardly, and then shouted at the crowd: "Get out! Get me out! ”

The housekeeper and everyone retreated, and only me and Zhiyan were left in the room.

"What did you say you saw on me last night?" Zhiyan's eyes were like copper bells, and the bloodshot on the whites of his eyes became more and more obvious.

Zi Di saw a woman with a cloak and a mole on the corner of her mouth leaning over the world. Doesn't the prince feel that his right shoulder is heavier than his left shoulder at this moment? I moved my gaze to Ji-yeon's right shoulder and pretended to be pressed against a woman's head there.

Zhiyan's right shoulder sank suddenly, he jumped up with a scream, and turned in place several times while shaking his hand: "Where is she?" Hurry up and let her go! Let her go! His face was pale, and his eyes were almost falling out of their sockets.

"Standing by the curtain!" I stretched out my hand and pointed to a curtain, and replied unhurriedly, "If the prince wants to drive away the dead soul, I am afraid that he will suffer some sin." ”

"I listen to you, you let her go now!" Zhiyan roared loudly at the curtain.

"No!"

Seeing that Zhiyan was deceived, I ordered Si'er to send a decoction prepared in advance. "This decoction is dedicated to relieving the curse of the dead soul, if there is the breath of the dead soul on the body, the whole body will be red and swollen, and the itching will be irrepressible. If not, everything will be as usual after drinking. "I gave the medicine bowl to Zhiyan with both hands.

Zhiyan took the medicine bowl and put it to his mouth, his mouth opened and he put the medicine bowl on the ground and pushed it to Si'er: "You take a sip first." ”

Si'er glanced at me, I nodded slightly, and she took a small sip of the medicine bowl.

A quarter of an hour later, Si'er's face was as usual, his exposed hands and neck were smooth and smooth, without any signs of redness and swelling. So, I smiled and pushed the medicine in front of Zhiyan: "Shizi can rest assured this time?" ”

Zhiyan glanced at Si'er, picked up the medicine bowl and drank it all.

I looked at his floating Adam's apple and smiled secretly in my heart, even if you are suspicious, you can't play my trick, what is the pain, I will let you know immediately!

Zhiyan went down with a bowl of medicinal soup, and in less than half an hour, countless red bumps appeared on his face and hands, and even his lips were swollen and turned up.

"How so? Sorcerer, what's going on? Zhiyan hurriedly tore off his clothes, scratched his hands on his chest, and in an instant, he lay on the ground and rubbed his back on the ground regardless of his manners, looking extremely embarrassed.

I slowly got up and saluted: "This is a sign that the qi of the dead soul is struggling and resisting in the body of the son, the son of the world needs to endure for three days, and when the soul is exhausted and escapes, the curse of the son of the world will be solved." ”

Zhiyan rolled on the ground and roared, and I took Si'er and bowed and withdrew.

At the door, the old man was tiptoeing through the window to look inside, and when he saw me coming out, he hurriedly ran to me: "Sorcerer, what is the son?" ”

"After three days, the poisonous curse can be lifted, but these three days will be hard. Tonight, at the appointed time, summon all the servants and servants of the house who have been cursed to my courtyard, and I will remove the curse from them. ”

"No! Do as the wizards do. The old man replied respectfully.

"The housekeeper has worked hard these days, and when the body is weak, the evil spirit is easy to enter, and the housekeeper is old or it is better to rest and recuperate, otherwise there may be disaster."

"But the courtyards to the east haven't been seen by the sorcerers yesterday." The old man was embarrassed.

"It's okay, I'm just a little maid and I. There are many people, and it is difficult to find the evil spirit. ”

"Bedain the sorcerer." The old man let out a sigh of relief and bowed deeply to me.

I took Si'er to walk in the garden east of Zhifu, and when I remembered the appearance of Zhiyan just now, I was in a good mood.

"Ah Shi, why did I drink that medicine and be fine, but Zhishizi became that ghost?" Seeing that there was no one around, Si'er couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"You don't even know what's in that bowl, why did you just drink it?" I looked at Si'er with a grin.

"That's not what you made me drink!"

"My good four, thank you for believing in me so much." I squeezed Si'er's hand and said with a smile, "I had long expected that Zhiyan would be suspicious of my dead soul possession, so I deliberately poisoned him with poison ivy." Do you remember that when we were children, when we went to the field to pick kudzu, we would always come across something that looked very much like kudzu vines, and when we picked it by mistake, it would have a rash on our hands at first, and then it would be fine after a long time? ”

"Well, I was itching so much that I scratched the skin of my hands."

"This poison is useless to the common people who have worked in the wilderness, but it is particularly useful for Zhiyan, who is pampered every day and has never even seen wild ge. Haha, three days later, I'm afraid he won't have an inch of good meat on his body. ”

"Ah Shi, you have spent so much effort tossing this Zhi Shizi, but it is to relieve Zhao Wuxian's anger?" Si'er looked at me with a smirk.

"Who said that? I...... I am here to show my abilities so that the people of the Chi clan will fear me. Dead girl, what nonsense? Look at it, when I detoxify the servants and servants of Zhifu at night, it won't take three days, and the people of Xinjiang City will know my wizard Zidian's magical powers. ”

"Oh-huh?" Si'er raised his eyebrows and squeezed his eyes, looking like I didn't believe you.

At dusk that day, there was a light rain in Xinjiangcheng, and most of the snow accumulated in the previous two days had melted, only the dark part of the courtyard still left some gray-brown residual snow. Si'er and I sat under the eaves, and the housekeeper ordered eight pole yarn lamps to be erected around the courtyard. On the black lacquer pole more than a foot high, the flames of beans were hidden in the turquoise tulle, and the faint light of the fire trembled in the cold wind, changing into a circle of fluorescent green halos. The night was getting thicker and thicker, and the cold was getting heavier and heavier, and when the yarn lantern was set up, a thick layer of frost had formed on the dead grass in the courtyard.

More than 50 servants and maidservants of the Zhifu were led by the guards, you hugged me, I pulled you, and entered the small courtyard one after another. They stood shrunken in the clearing in the middle of the courtyard, their faces haggard and frightened, the hallucinogenic poison of the well water that had tormented them to the point of weakness.

I looked at their faces and felt a little guilty.

"Wizard, everyone is here, can we start?" The jayer leaned over to me and asked in a bowful voice.

I nodded and stood up, and the crowd in the courtyard all looked at me. There was fear, doubt, confusion, and hope in those eyes. An eleven or twelve-year-old girl suddenly cried: "Sister, I'm afraid of ......" She hugged a slightly older maid beside her tightly. The servant covered the girl's mouth and looked at me in panic.
