Chapter Seventy-Two: The Curse
I waited quietly for Yu Haodong to finish speaking, and then asked in a deep voice, "How do you know that you have been cursed?" ”
Yu Haodong sneered: "At first, I thought I was just poisoned, and I deliberately found a lawyer and a private detective to collect evidence. Unfortunately, none of the hospitals could provide definite evidence of poisoning, and in the end I could only use organ failure to perfunctory my ......"
"Later, I found an old Chinese medicine doctor. That person will be a little bit of a wish, it was he who told me that I had provoked a high-ranking person, and someone deliberately cursed my life, so I quickly found out if there was a middleman to see if I could come forward to make peace. ”
Yu Haodong's words are quite reliable. In ancient times, there was no medicine, only witches, and shamans could not only communicate with the gods, but also use herbs to cure diseases, until the late Shang and Zhou dynasties, which began to gradually separate. Among the ancient Chinese medicine, Zhu Youke still preserves some techniques similar to witchcraft to this day.
Many well-informed old Chinese medicine practitioners can see the source of the root cause of the disease, but they will not treat it with their own hands, even if they have some methods. Some things, once mixed in, are tantamount to offending the Dao of Arts, and maybe they will cause some trouble. So the most they do is a reminder.
I nodded and asked Yu Haodong, "Who have you found to help you break the curse?" ”
"I've only looked for Boss Tang." Yu Haodong smiled bitterly: "Although I am a businessman, I also have friends in the three religions and nine streams, but I only know Boss Tang about ghosts and gods." ”
I squinted my eyes and said, "What is the relationship between you and Boss Tang?" ”
Yu Haodong said bluntly: "Business partners." Boss Tang has a lot of investment in me. ”
I looked back at Tan Yue, who only said, "It should be fragrant." ”
Tan Yue said this, and I understood.
The operation of a magic organization cannot be maintained by us warlocks alone, but also has a certain economic source, and business partners are naturally indispensable. In order to maintain their partners, the Shudao organization usually helps them deal with some things within their ability, such as ensuring that the other party is not harassed by things such as feng shui and ghosts. Of course, when it comes to shopping malls or officialdom, no one in the art will interfere.
Tang Xiangwan specially sent us, he should value this Yu Haodong very much.
I turned to Tan Yue and said, "You help him check it to see what kind of spell he has hit." ”
There are all kinds of spells in the world, and the means are even more unpredictable. The curse may be applied directly to the victim or may be left in the vicinity of the victim through some medium. If you want to break the curse, you must first find out what kind of curse the other party has fallen into.
Tan Yue asked Yu Haodong to take off his clothes, and checked him from the inside to the outside, before he shook his head solemnly: "I can't see anything." ”
I didn't believe it: "You've checked it all?" ”
Tan Yue shook his head again: "Nothing!" It seems that the curse did not fall directly on him. ”
The victim is directly cursed, and there will be some abnormal changes in the body.
To put it simply, if the victim is cursed by someone who a puppet with a needle, there will definitely be blood spots on their body that look like they have been pricked with a steel needle; If someone draws a charm and casts a spell, there will also be inexplicable drawings or bruises on the body. Those things are secretive, but if you look closely, they are not hard to find.
Yu Haodong didn't have any clues on him, so it could only show that the other party used a spell such as a medium.
Tan Yue thought for a while and said, "Did you bring anything back before you felt unwell?" Like jade, dolls, or souvenirs that someone gave you? ”
Yu Haodong said categorically: "No, absolutely nothing!" ”
"Spells should be placed on objects." I chimed in, "If it's a medium spell, that thing shouldn't be far from him." According to his own account, he changed places a lot after his illness, unless someone followed him with something all the time. ”
Tan Yue thought for a while and said, "Think about it again, did you ever be with anyone before you had an accident!" I mean, did that kind of thing. ”
Yu Haodong shook his head and said, "No!" I've always been a bit of a scary, or rather, a bit of a cleanliness fetish in this area. Even if you go out to socialize, you won't really go to the scene. ”
"That's weird......" Tan Yue was also helpless.
A flash of inspiration flashed in my head and I said, "Did anything die around you before you had an accident?" For example, a bird suddenly flies into your house and dies on the ground. ”
"Yes!" Yu Haodong said: "Yu Haoxuan, that beast likes to raise snakes, and a ball python he raised swam into my office one day." ”
"I was reviewing documents when I heard the sound of paper next to me, and when I looked up, a snake stood up from in front of my desk, staring at my face and spitting out letters. I could even see my reflection in the snake's eyes.
I was startled and rushed to find something to hit it. Unexpectedly, a big bag suddenly bulged out of the snake's neck, like a ...... It's like just swallowing an egg.
I watched as the bag squeezed from his neck into his head, and its head swelled into a ball before my eyes.
Before I could react, the swollen head of the snake exploded with a bang, and the snake's blood splashed all over me. ”
Yu Haodong paused when he said this, and I also interjected: "At that time, there was nothing else in the snake's head except blood?" ”
"Didn't pay attention!" Yu Haodong said: "When I saw the snake head explode, I closed my eyes, and when I opened my eyes, the dead snake was already lying on my table......
Yu Haodong's reaction at that time was completely in line with the instinct of normal people, and I knew that I couldn't ask anything: "You go on." ”
Yu Haodong said: "I was half angry at the time, called the secretary in and scolded him, and asked him to throw the snake out." The brute said I had killed his snake on purpose, and had a big fight with me. ”
"I asked myself that I usually had some city government, but I didn't know why the anger was so big that day, and I was so angry that I was so weak and sweating that after he left, I sat in the office for more than two hours before I recovered. Since that day, my body has started to deteriorate......"
After listening to this, I nodded and said, "It seems that the medium of the curse is the snake, and there is a little snake venom in the spell to make him appear poisoned." ”
As soon as I finished speaking, Yu Haodong said with a strange face: "The ball python is not poisonous. ”
I asked rhetorically, "Are you sure it's a ball python?" ”
"This ......" Yu Haodong really couldn't answer.
Tan Yue frowned and said, "According to what you said, he should have a spirit spell with spirit beasts as a medium. Anyone who can use this technique is a master, and it is too difficult to break the spell. ”
"If we can't break the curse, won't we kill people?" I squinted my eyes and said, "Tonight, talk to the other party, if he knows the current affairs, forget it." If you don't want to give face, then don't blame me for being ruthless! ”
Tan Yue looked at me for a while before nodding and saying, "Okay, I'll try!" ”
Tan Yue left me to guard Yu Haodong, and quietly sneaked out to get a bunch of white candles back. After the evening, I cut off the power supply in the basement, used a white candle to set up a gossip-shaped formation on the ground, and sat with me on the two points of the yin and yang fish, and put Yu Haodong in the middle.
I pressed my hands on my knees and nodded to Tan Yue, who took out a copper bell and shook it twice in the air: "Quartet ghosts, listen to my orders......"
As soon as Tan Yue's mantra was recited two sentences, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my chest, and subconsciously reached out to cover my chest, and there was a blood stain on my palm......
Tan Yue also stopped suddenly: "What's wrong with your back?" ”
Before he could finish speaking, I felt as if someone had peeled off a piece of skin the size of a palm off my back, and the slightest movement was like a wound scraping my clothes.
I pressed one hand to my chest and said, "Bring me a mirror, I'll see what's going on on my back!" ”
Tan Yue brought over two mirrors, and I held the mirrors and said, "Tear my clothes......"
After Tan Yue picked up my clothes, I saw that the flesh and blood on my back were blurryly torn, and the human skin that had been lifted up was mixed with blood and stuck to my body, and I couldn't see anything on the wound at all.
I gritted my teeth and said, "Wipe the wound!" ”
Tan Yue glanced at me, handed the mirror to Yu Haodong, took out a bottle of spirits from his bag, unscrewed the lid and poured it on the towel, until the towel was soaked with wine, and then said, "You bear with it!" ”
