Chapter 235: Mingyu's curse
Jiang Bei licked the rain on his arm, and felt more and more that this was a little different from ordinary rain.
After tasting it carefully, there is a bit of déjà vu in it.
It feels as if he has mixed water into the peach blossom brew and osmanthus wine, and there is a trace of unpleasant wine in the rain.
Suddenly, Jiangbei thought of the thousand jars of osmanthus wine that he sold to Ma Daoxue two days ago, and instantly realized.
Damn it.
Could this rain be the Thousand Jars of Osmanthus Bar?
"That shouldn't be...... Jiangbei raised his head and looked up at the pouring rain in the sky, muttering to himself.
Where can a thousand jars of osmanthus wine have so much rainfall?
It shouldn't be possible.
It's confusing.
Jiangbei was puzzled, but the citizens of the entire Anning City were in a state of joy, sweeping away the oppressive atmosphere brought about by the drought for days, and running happily in the heavy rain.
"This horse Taoist is a bit of a skill. Lin Tang was also surprised, holding an umbrella and reaching out to feel the feeling of the rain falling in the palm of his hand, he said.
"This already belongs to the Immortal Family's methods, right?" Orika exclaimed.
"I don't think even the strong people in the Jindan period can't do it, otherwise there would be no drought in the country for so long without movement. Dragon Boat Festival keenly analyzed.
Madame did not speak, but looked at Jiangbei with an inquiring look in her eyes.
Jiang Bei was stunned for a moment and asked, "You also smell it?"
Madame nodded and replied, "Yes." ”
Lin Tang, Dragon Boat Festival, and Zhixiang looked puzzled and asked, "What are you talking about?"
"Let's go back. ”
......
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night, and the heavy rain in Anning City continued to fall until the sky was gray.
After a night of rain irrigation, the city's water resources have been greatly replenished, and the water level of reservoirs and lakes has risen sharply, alleviating the current extreme water shortage of citizens in Anning City.
And because of this rain all over the area of Anning City, the dryads outside the city were also irrigated by water resources, but surprisingly, this group of dryads still had no intention of going back, and were still rooted outside the city, surrounding Anning City.
The next day.
The news of the rain in Anning City also began to spread throughout the country, and after knowing that there were really people in the world who could ask for rain, they found the officials of the Martial Arts Alliance in various places, hoping that they would find talents like Ma Daoxue as soon as possible to ask for rain for all places and relieve the drought.
For a while, the topic of looking for 'Seeking a Rain Immortal' was hot, and at the same time, as the initiator, Ma Daoxue, chairman of the Anning City Martial Arts Alliance, also became the hottest figure at the moment, just like the previous Li Hong.
And Ma Taoism is even more admired in Anning City, and it is in the limelight.
So much so, a little floating.
"Ma Daoxue convened a meeting of our ninety-nine chambers of commerce today to discuss, saying that he is ready to ask for rain again in ten days, so that the rainfall in Anning City will continue to expand, so as to achieve the effect of fading the dryad. ”
Lin Tang had just returned from a meeting at the Warrior Alliance's residence, so he couldn't wait to share the news in the group.
"Is that another donation of money?" asked the Dragon Boat Festival.
Lin Tang: "Well, this time he wants each chamber of commerce to donate 10 million credits. ”
"So much, can you agree?" asked Orika in surprise.
Madame: "I don't agree with any way, now the Dryad is surrounding Anning City, blocking the transportation of the major chambers of commerce, including our Mythical Chamber of Commerce, all the chambers of commerce have been affected by the Dryad's obstruction, and their revenue has plummeted." If the dryad is not driven away, the losses for the major chambers of commerce will be immeasurable. ”
Lin Tang: "Yes, now everyone is pinning on Ma Daoxue to improve the surrounding land environment by asking for rain, so that the dryads can return to the place where they grow, so although the money is ten times more this time, in the end, all the chambers of commerce gritted their teeth and agreed to donate this fee." ”
Speaking of which, Lin Tang sent another message.
"Not only that, after the meeting, Ma Daoxue came to me privately and said that he wanted to book 10,000 jars of osmanthus wine, which happened to be the total amount of this donation. ”
"Why does he buy osmanthus wine from us every time he asks for rain?" asked Zhixiang suspiciously.
"Is it really as we guessed last night, Ma Daoxue begging for rain has something to do with osmanthus wine?" said the Dragon Boat Festival.
After begging for rain last time, Jiangbei and Lin Tang told their doubts in the group, but there was no beginning or end, and everyone couldn't judge anything for a while, so in the end, they all stopped.
But now that Ma Daoxue is begging for rain again, and he has found the Mythical Chamber of Commerce again to buy osmanthus wine, it will inevitably remind them of their previous doubts and speculations.
"It's very likely, so I think we need to solve this puzzle. Lin Tang proposed.
Jiangbei: "What do you say?"
Lin Tang: "This time, don't sell osmanthus wine, let's see how the Ma Dao Society reacts." ”
I have to say that this is indeed a way to solve puzzles, at least to figure out whether Ma Daoxue asks for rain and osmanthus wine.
"There's no reason to turn them down, it's not good...... "Orika replied weakly.
"Buying and selling this kind of thing, it's all about your love and my willingness, what's wrong with it. The Dragon Boat Festival was on Lin Tang's side and echoed.
Of course, no matter how you discuss it, you still need to look at the meaning of Jiangbei in the end.
"Yes, let's take a look at Ma Daoxue's attitude first. Jiangbei agreed to the plan.
After the plan was passed, it was natural to implement it, and Jiangbei also paid attention to this matter because of the abnormality of Ma Daoxue's rain study, and was looking for relevant clues every day.
Not to mention, on the third day after begging for rain, he found that there seemed to be something wrong with him.
That's fatigue.
Physical fatigue.
I always want to sleep.
He was weak all over his body, but in fact, when he reached his realm, this situation should only appear when the spiritual power in his body was lost to a certain extent.
"The spiritual power in your body is being extracted. On this day, the tree girl suddenly appeared beside her and said calmly.
"Spiritual power is extracted?" Jiang Bei was stunned when he heard this, closed his eyes and looked inwardly at himself.
Slowly, he found that the spiritual power in his body was indeed decreasing, but the magnitude of this decrease was relatively slow, and it was difficult to find out if he didn't look closely.
It's just that why is the spiritual power in your body gradually decreasing?
"Are you extracting?" Jiang Bei asked as he looked at the Tree Heart Girl.
The Tree Heart Girl shook her head and said, "You have a curse on you. ”
"Which one of the curses?" Jiangbei was a little unclear, he hadn't been exposed to anything strange recently, and he hadn't explored any strange places, how could he fall into the curse?
The Tree Heart Girl didn't answer, and with a spread of her palms, a green leaf appeared out of thin air and floated into his body.
For these operations of the tree heart girl, Jiangbei can now be immune, obediently waiting for the results.
Sure enough, after a while, the leaves floated out of his body again, and the original green leaves were already pitch black, as if they had been dipped in ink.
Looking at this black leaf, a message comes to mind.
[Mingyu curse: A curse passed down from generation to generation by the Mingyu clan, the cursed person will be slowly extracted from their own essence, qi, gods, and spirits. 】
"How did I fall into such a terrifying curse?" Jiang Bei read the information in his mind, and his heart also shuddered, and this curse looked like he shuddered.
"Three days ago, it entered your body through the rain, but this curse does not have any smell and fluctuations, so ordinary people can't feel its erosion, and when you find it later, the curse has already extracted most of the essence and spirits, and the gods are difficult to save. ”
There seems to be nothing in this world that the tree heart girl doesn't understand, and the explanation is also the way, methodical and reasonable, which makes people not believe it.
However, what the Tree Heart Girl said about passing through the rain reminded him of one thing, that is, the rain begging incident a few days ago.
It happened to be three days ago, which coincided with the time that the Tree Heart Girl said.
Could it be that there is really something wrong with the rain that Ma Dao prays for?
Just when Jiangbei was speculating about this matter, the latest news came that there was a strange phenomenon in Anning City in the past two days, that is, many citizens were in a state of fatigue and exhaustion.
The number of people who asked for leave in two days from the Mythical Chamber of Commerce alone was as high as thousands, and the reasons were almost the same, all of them said that people were not energetic and listless.
Not to mention the integration of Anning City, it is impossible to count.
However, according to Lin Tang's investigation of employees who had taken leave within the Chamber of Commerce, it was found that these people had been drenched in the rain three days ago.
This also includes the four Lin Tang who went to the stage to watch the rain that night.
In this way, the rain that Ma Daoxue is seeking is more and more suspicious.
"By the way, yesterday I rejected Ma Daoxue's intention to buy osmanthus wine on the grounds that the osmanthus wine was temporarily sold out, at first Ma Daoxue said that the price could be increased, and then I saw that we were determined not to sell, so there was no news, and it seemed to have a lot of complaints about us. Lin Tang replied.
It means that the price can be increased, but it is not very tough.
Does this mean that osmanthus wine is not important to horse Taoism?
On the fourth day, the fatigue became more and more serious, and thousands of employees of the Mythical Chamber of Commerce, including Lin Tang, had to take leave to rest.
This is especially true in the entire city of Anning, where many citizens have to stay at home to recuperate.
It's just that this kind of thing is useless to just recuperate, in order to solve this problem, Jiangbei had to ask the tree girl for some leaves, and first lift the curse of the members of the Mythical Chamber of Commerce.
Fortunately, the leaves are not valuable, and the tree girl was not stingy and gave a lot.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, and also with the principle of helping the citizens of Anning City, he directly asked the Yaoji Pill Shop to sell the leaves that lifted the curse.
With the leaves that lifted the curse, this strange phenomenon in Anning City was finally resolved, and it soon got better.
Of course, Jiangbei did not directly announce that this was a problem caused by the curse, so it did not cause panic among the citizens of Anning City.
However, to its surprise, in the process of this matter, Ma Daoxue did not make any moves, and the whole person seemed to disappear, not paying attention to this matter at all.
This frustrated Jiangbei's idea.
Before, his original intention was to see Ma Daoxue's reaction while helping the citizens solve the curse, and if Ma Dao learned to stop, cause trouble, or even find trouble, then all the speculations could be confirmed.
But now that Ma Daoxue has chosen to disappear, the speculation is still a guess and has not been verified.
Ten days of hard work passed in the blink of an eye, and soon came the second time for Ma Daoxue to ask for rain.
The second time to ask for rain was still in the middle of the night, but today an accident happened.
"Recently, Chairman Ma was assassinated just now, and after fighting with the assassin, he was stabbed with 18 knives and is now being rescued in the First Hospital. ”
At such a critical moment, Ma Daoxue was assassinated!
"The timing of this assassination is too coincidental, right?" Jiangbei was also confused after getting the news.
According to speculation, because the Mythical Chamber of Commerce refused to provide osmanthus wine, Jiangbei thought that Ma Daoxue might find a way to cancel this rain request.
But he never expected it to be in such a way.
And now it's not certain that this is a plot directed and acted by Ma Daoxue.
After all, Ma Daoxue is in the limelight now, and it is not impossible to say that someone has hatred because of envy and jealousy, and wants to kill him.
With doubts, Jiangbei rushed to the First Hospital, preparing to monitor the new chairman of the alliance to see if he could find some clues.
As a frequent visitor to the first hospital, the building here is undoubtedly very familiar to Jiangbei, no need to ask for directions, directly came to the emergency department, and learned that Ma Daoxue has been successfully rescued and is now recuperating in the VIP ward.
The outside of the ward was crowded with reporters who came to cover the news, but unfortunately Ma Daoxue had no way to interact with these reporters.
After Jiang Bei dressed up, he released his stealth technique to pass through the crowd, and finally came to the emergency room where Ma Daoxue was recuperating.
Through the wall and when he came to the VIP ward, Jiang Bei found Ma Daoxue lying on the bed, talking in a low voice.
"Mingyu, don't be angry, blame me for not handling this matter well, but please believe me and give me another chance. ”
"I didn't expect the Mythical Chamber of Commerce to reject my offer to buy osmanthus wine, and its Yao Ji Pill Shop was still selling leaves that lifted the curse. ”
"Mingyu, I don't think the Mythical Chamber of Commerce has realized something. ”
"Mingyu, I heard that the behind-the-scenes president of the Mythical Chamber of Commerce is a super powerful figure, which makes me a little jealous, and I don't know what to do. ”
As he spoke, Ma Daoxue subconsciously looked towards the door, as if he had found something.
Jiangbei maintains a hidden breath and a hidden human form.
Ma Daoxue, who had been watching it carefully for a while, still didn't find out Jiangbei's stealth technique, and continued to speak into the headset in a low voice.
From Ma Daoxue's dialogue, it can be known that this matter has indeed been related to him from beginning to end, and even the curse was sown by him.
And he has a mouthful of Mingyu, and this name is the same as the name of the curse......
This reminded Jiang Bei of the information that appeared in his mind when he saw the curse before: the curse that the Mingyu clan had passed down from generation to generation.
Is the online dating girlfriend who has been connected with Ma Daoxue related to this incident?
I put away my mind and was about to continue listening, when suddenly the mobile phone in my pocket rang.
"Xiaosheng is twenty-five this year, and he is still single and coarse......"
"Who!"
said that it was too late and that it was fast, Jiangbei didn't care about answering the phone, and rushed straight up.
