"What? Sixty years or more? How did it work out? I asked in surprise as I stood up sharply.

The old man sighed and said unhurriedly: "That incident, I still remember it vividly, I was only a teenager that year, I lived in a village in my hometown, and there was a town next door, called Taiping Town, there were rumors of continuous deaths, at that time it was just the beginning, and I don't know why, on the first day of the catastrophe, several people died mysteriously, it is said that they died of illness. ”

"But it's not a death from illness, because after a few days, the number of deaths a day has already reached dozens, how is this like a death from disease? It was later learned that it was a curse. ”

"So it spread so quickly that it spread throughout the town, but then it made a big mistake, and it was undoubtedly a curse that spread throughout the town, so that after that day, the number of deaths reached tens of thousands every day, which is a huge number."

"This incident finally attracted the attention of the state, and after investigation, it was learned that it was the work of a terrible demon like the Demon King, who has an unprecedented terrifying power, and this power is to control the life and death of all things."

"But this power has a limit, it can only control those who ask the demon king for money, and those who don't ask the demon king for money won't have anything."

"On the last day, tens of thousands of people have asked the demon king for money, it can be said that every household in that town has to pay money, and the same deaths are continuous, so in order to prevent the spread of the curse, the state surrounded Taiping Town, and also launched a large-scale killing, and even burned the entire Taiping Town with fire, so that the spread of the curse can be controlled."

"Later, in order to prevent the people from panicking, they falsely claimed that someone played with fire and caused the fire, and the name of Taiping Town was erased from all maps, so there are very few people who know this secret."

"The reason why I became a Taoist priest is to find out where the source of the curse came from back then and what the origin of the demon king was, but now the old man finally understands that the demon king is not a human at all, but a ghost, who came out to harm the world!" When the old man said the last sentence, he raised his voice and was extremely harsh.

And everyone trembled when they heard this, even me, and the whole person was stunned, and I couldn't imagine that such a thing had ever happened.

"So, there was no mobile phone that year, how did the Demon King spread the curse?" I asked reluctantly.

"There was a tomb robber that year, and he dug up a coffin in the mountains, and the old man didn't know much about this, so please forgive me." The old man said politely.

We all nodded, and then the old man continued.

"I only heard that the coffin that the tomb robbers dug up also had a treasure box inside, so the tomb robbers brought it home and called some tomb robbers to observe the material and value of the treasure box."

"But anyone who sees a treasure box can even look at it, so that a treasure box appears in the home of every tomb robber, and the curse spreads.

"There is a lot of money in the treasure box, and there is also a note, that note is very unusual, the content will automatically change every day, the content is a different task, and there is a name under the content, which is the Demon King."

"Although I don't know what the content of the mission is, I only know that whoever does not complete the task will only die."

"That's the case, since the demon king is a ghost, does the master have the ability to get rid of it?" I looked at the old man with excitement on my face.

The old man shook his head, his face was full of helplessness and bitterness, and explained: "If it is a little ghost, I can still get rid of it, but this demon king, I can't do anything, the strength of the demon king has reached the point where no one is invincible, almost a god-like existence, omnipotent." ”

As soon as the words fell, the classroom suddenly fell silent, and their faces became very pale, and it was difficult to accept the truth that the old man said.

"But you don't have to worry, this time the country will not start a killing spree to stop the spread of the curse as before, after all, in the current era, there is already surveillance, satellite monitoring or something, if the country dares to do this crazy act, it will be difficult to cover up this matter, and it will lead to the public indignation of the masses, and there is a possibility of uprising to overthrow the rule of the country." The old man saw that our face was ugly, and hurriedly said.

"Well, since you can't deal with it, is there a more powerful Taoist priest to deal with the Demon King?" Somewhat incredulous, I asked again.

"It's hard to say, after all, there is no feudal superstition in the current era, Taoist priests have been silent, and even the most powerful Taoist priests can't be seen, at present, I'm afraid the demon king is undoubtedly an invincible existence."

"Are we really doomed to a miserable fate for the rest of our lives?" I muttered. His face was full of horror.

The old man sighed and reminded: "Although you can only live if you complete the task, no matter how terrible the task is, you must complete the task, and don't spread the curse, otherwise it will be an unprecedented catastrophe!" ”

With that, the old man turned and left the classroom.

I left a sentence before leaving.

"Farewell, don't blame the old man for not helping you, the old man can't do anything about it."

Everyone looked at the old man who left with a disappointed expression, their expressions were full of despair and sluggishness, but they didn't know what to do.

But some have completely collapsed.

"! I want to live! I can't just die! ”

"Zhang Fugui, you are so rich! You must have a way to save us! ”

"Yes! I don't want to die, Zhang Fugui begs you to think of a way! Let's find a more powerful Taoist priest! ”

First, the bad boy Yu Jiahao shouted angrily, while some other people begged Zhang Fugui, and they were about to cry one by one.

And my expression is very complicated, but there is a strong sense of guilt in my heart, after all, although I am the source of the curse, although I have not done anything wrong, but I have also made mistakes, what I have done wrong is that I did not intend to tell others at all, and the mistake is that I accidentally let the boss see the phone, which led to the spread of the curse.

"I've done my best, this is the most powerful of all the Taoist priests I've ever found in the city." Zhang Fugui shook his head and said with a look of loss.

At this time, a girl suddenly shouted, "Everyone, look at your phone!" The Demon King sent another message. ”

Everyone quickly took out their mobile phones, and their faces suddenly became shocked.

"Liu Zhilei must break up with Xu Murong completely, and the time limit is one day."

Some people shouted out in unison, but one by one they secretly rejoiced.

"What? It's too much to break up couples, right? ”

"Hahaha, sure enough, Xiu'en loves to die quickly!"

"That's it! Damn, who let the two of them show affection in front of us every day, it's good now, the demon king can't get used to it, and he will break up directly. ”

Looking at the content of the task on my phone, I let out a long breath, fortunately without my own name, and glanced back at the couple.

The two of them looked at each other, their expressions showing unconcealable sadness, and Xu Murong couldn't help crying directly, hugging Liu Zhilei and crying, "Don't leave me, okay?" ”
