Chapter 111: Deathbed Curse
Zhen Bei said, "The elder is humble. Speaking of which, can the elders smell or hear some unusual smells and noises as they perform? ”
Sabur and his two companions looked at each other and hesitated, "It was hard to detect any other sounds that night under the sound of firecrackers. If you talk about the smell, after being reminded by Gu Gongzi, when praying for blessings, I vaguely smelled some pungent smells, which should be the residual smell of the firecrackers outside after they were burned, and they drifted here with the wind! ”
Zhen Bei glanced at Qin Wuchen, and the other party understood, and said, "This is not the place to talk, please follow me to other places and drink tea to warm up!" ”
Sabur and the three of them came to this snake cave again, as if they were reliving a nightmare, and they were afraid and depressed in their hearts, and they all hurriedly said: "In this way, there is Lord Lao Qin!" ”
As he spoke, he turned around and walked out quickly, impatient.
Stuffing a key into Zhen Bei's hand, nodding slightly to Nangong He, Qin Wuchen hurried to catch up with Sabul: "Three, please here!" ”
Princess Keya was infected by them, only to feel a cold air coming from all directions, she clasped her arms with both hands, and involuntarily leaned towards Zhenbei's side.
Seeing this, Nangong He's eyes were cold, and he moved lightly to block her way, so he glared at her threateningly.
Princess Keya was slightly stunned, and felt that the cold was a little heavier.
Zhenbei, who was in deep thought, naturally did not notice their small movements.
Suddenly, she said in a very fast tone: "Nangong He, quickly ask someone to check, who are the officials in charge of patrolling and guarding outside the door of the Criminal Department that night, and brought them here!" ”
After Nangong He left, Zhenbei and Princess Keya walked out of the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave and came to the room where they had changed their robes and checked them out.
Not surprisingly, the two sat down on the stone chairs outside the room, each thinking about their own thoughts.
Zhen Bei suddenly asked, "Fang Cai, after the Asdajia envoy left here, did he tell Lord Qin that they planned to leave for China in two days?" ”
Princess Keya thought about it, nodded affirmatively, and said: "After he walked out of here, he did say, 'I am fortunate to come to Nanyang this time and meet someone as noble and bright as Lord Qin, it is really a blessing for three lives, but it is a pity that in the next two days, I have to leave here!'" If you are lucky enough to be able to break this curse, you will come back again in your lifetime! Although they have already traveled a certain way, this princess has a good ear, but she can hear it clearly! ”
Princess Khaya vividly imitated Sabur's speech and said triumphantly.
Zhen Bei frowned, and said, "We must find enough evidence before they set off to stop that person from falling deeper and deeper!" ”
When Princess Keya heard this, she was surprised and said, "You, do you already know the whole story of this matter?" ”
Zhenbei turned her head to look at the dark night sky, sighed softly, and did not answer.
About half an hour later, just when Princess Keya's stomach was rumbling and she couldn't help but want to leave to find food, Nangong He took seven or eight people in civilian clothes or official clothes to find them.
Zhen Bei called them to the side room and asked them one by one, then fell into deep thought again.
Nangong He and Princess Keya waited quietly for fear of interrupting her train of thought.
The former looked at Zhenbei with a smile on the corner of his mouth, while the latter covered his hungry stomach and looked out of the door, quite uneasy.
At this moment, she had never tasted the pain of hunger, and she secretly made up her mind to bring something to eat with her at every moment in the future!
Qin Wuchen pushed the door and walked in, his expression serious.
Zhen Bei raised her eyes to look at him: "The messenger has already left?" ”
Qin Wuchen sat down beside Nangong He, nodded, and said, "I have already asked people to send them back to the post station!" ”
Zhenbei knew that he must have gotten other clues, so she didn't ask questions, and waited quietly for him to speak.
After a while, Qin Wuchen said slowly: "The infected Momot and Chaigar are not infected with wind and cold, but they suddenly have a strange disease of insanity!" ”
Seeing that the other three were all looking at him in surprise, Qin Wuchen took a deep breath and said, "That day, after they found out that Certon had mysteriously disappeared, they were shocked and frightened, and the first thing they thought of was that they were as cunning as Chelton, and they must have secretly escaped from a secret passage somewhere!"
They hurried into the palace overnight and asked the emperor for help in tracking down the whereabouts of the fugitive. However, after some inspection, Fang knew that there was no secret passage in the Ten Thousand Snake Cave at all, not to mention, he had to avoid the eyes and ears of the official messenger for a period of time and cut a hole on the heavy bluestone slab!
Since it wasn't Chelton who escaped, it seems that there can only be one outcome, and that is to disappear out of thin air! This conclusion made them panic.
The priest Gagger even concluded that it was the demon who took in Chelton, because it was mentioned in the "Golden Sutra of the Sun and Moon" that the sand god, the opponent of the sun and moon god, specializes in absorbing vicious souls to increase its mana! And in return, it will fulfill the evil spirit's dying wishes!
The envoy of Asdaja returned to the inn in fear, and that night Momot and Chaigar suddenly went mad and talked nonsense. Allowing Gagger to exhaust all his methods of solving the numbers will not help! ”
At this point, he paused.
When the envoys mentioned this, they were terrified and terrified.
Zhen Bei muttered, "Have you asked the imperial doctor to take a look at the two of them?" Could it be that he was overly frightened and got a real illness? ”
Qin Wuchen said: "It is not avoided that the VIPs of other countries are ill, and there are imperial doctors in the post station who take turns to sit in charge." Their condition, the Imperial Doctor is also helpless, because everything is normal! ”
Princess Keya shuddered a few times involuntarily when she heard this, the door was hidden, from where she was sitting, through the crack in the door, she could just see through the crack in the door, and there was a square columnar black Ten Thousand Snake Cave on the opposite side, and the bright light revealed from its narrow door was like a strange eye, looking at everything around her, including her!
As soon as this thought came out, it made her feel cold all over her body, she swallowed a few saliva, quickly withdrew her timid gaze, and turned her head to look at Zhenbei.
I heard the other party say: "Lord Qin, do you know what the thing you found at the bottom of that holy robe and snake cave?" ”
Qin Wuchen frowned and nodded slightly: "This is definitely not a spell, but a man-made crime." It's just that how did he deceive so many people's eyes and ears and successfully get out? What's the use of that? ”
No one can solve his doubts one by one at this time.
For a moment, all four fell silent.
Zhen Bei and Qin Wuchen were both meditating; Nangong He leaned on the back of the chair, squinting his eyes as if he was asleep; Princess Keya didn't seem to be the power of gods and ghosts because she listened to their words, and most of the fear in her heart dissipated, and she peeked at Nangong He from time to time, and then at Zhenbei, her face was mixed.
Suddenly, Qin Wuchen said again: "They have decided to leave in a day's time, what happened here has reached the ears of the Asdajia royal family, and their monarch has sent a message, let them leave for China as soon as possible!" ”
At the beginning, in addition to these envoys, even the Asdajia royal family was cursed, and in order to find a way to break the curse as soon as possible, it is reasonable that they will be urgently recalled.
Only then will they have only one day left to solve the puzzle!
After returning to Hanmen Academy, Zhen Bei lay on the couch, looking out of the dark window, still repeatedly recalling the layout of the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave, and trying to restore everything that happened at that time according to what she learned later.
The Astygar emissary accidentally captured the wounded fugitive Chelton and, upon receiving the order, executed him on the spot.
However, Chelton insisted on using the church's most advanced death method to purify his soul and reincarnate innocently, and for this reason, he cursed every Asdadian who participated in it as a high priest.
The messenger, who was convinced of the spell, had to borrow the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes to carry out the execution, but unexpectedly, Chelton, who had already agreed to the execution on the borrowed land, suddenly changed his mind before he died, and he recited the incantation viciously again.
Moreover, the spell came true, his body mysteriously disappeared, and the two people who directly sent him to death, put a rope on his neck, and pushed him off the stone platform, inexplicably fell ill one after another!
After thinking like this for a while, she fell asleep in a daze!
The next day, she pressed her swollen temples and got up to get dressed and washed.
Peony, who was guarding outside the door, heard the movement in the side room, and hurriedly brought out the warm breakfast on the stove.
Zhenbei was already seated at the table, and she looked at the other two uninvited guests, looking surprised.
"Peony has agreed, and the king's meal will be arranged together!" The one sitting next to her explained confidently, "Even if it's your rent!" ”
Well, she has lived in someone's courtyard for so long, just to add an extra pair of dishes and chopsticks, and she will admit it!
Zhen Bei moved her gaze to the one opposite with cute stars shining with bright eyes: "Why is the princess here?" ”
Seeing that a touch of cunning flashed in her beautiful big eyes, and without waiting for the other party to answer, she sighed admittedly: "That's it! Whatever you like! ”
Princess Keya's eyes bent into crescents and smiled at her with satisfaction.
Peony brought the soup dumplings to the table, and took a few straws and set them aside.
Princess Koya picked up the straw and asked in surprise, "What is this for?" ”
Peony smiled: "Princess, of course these are used to absorb soup. This soup dumpling is like a small pot, but in addition to the meat filling, it is also full of fragrant juice! If you eat it directly in your mouth, it will not only make the soup splash and stain your clothes, but also waste the deliciousness, so we all use this hollow wheat straw to absorb the soup inside before eating the filling! The princess can rest assured, the slaves and maids have already cleaned these wheat stalks! ”
It was the first time that Princess Keya had heard of this kind of food, this strange way of eating, she inserted the wheat stalks into a soup bag, sucked it gently, and sighed with satisfaction: "There is such a delicious food in the world!" How is the soup locked in a thin coat? ”
Peony briefly explained the method of soup dumplings, only to hear Princess Keya's surprise again and again, and she had to teach this method to her maid Lin.
