Chapter 114: Curses
Faced with Yu Wenshi's invitation, Xu Zhige and the three of them followed without too much thought,
Instead of sitting there staring, it is better to follow this person with clear information back and learn about the virus. Of course, the most important thing is that this Yuwen Shi is a scholar with no force at first glance, even if he wants to calculate something, Xu Zhige and the three of them can capture him on the spot with one hand and one foot, and they are not afraid of him playing tricks. That's what the so-called artist is bold.
Yu Wenshi's house is indeed not too far away, and it is not far from the medical center.
"You're welcome, you're welcome, come in and sit. Yu Wenshi warmly beckoned Xu Zhige and the others to sit down.
"Hehe, I'd like to sit, but where are you going to let us sit?" Leo sneered.
Seeing that there was a mess all around, all kinds of books, picture albums, light and shadow stones, etc., were scattered all over the ground, and this not very small house actually gave people a feeling that they couldn't make room for it at all, as if even their foothold was a problem.
"Ahem, hehe, a single man's residence is so messy, laughing and laughing. Wait a minute, I'll clean it up right away. Seemingly aware that his house was a little messy and unsightly, Yuwenshi also sneered, and then immediately began to tidy up. Of course, the focus is only on clearing a space where guests can be greeted.
After Yu Wenshi cleaned up a little, several people were finally able to "set foot" in this room. At this time, Xu Zhige had time to look at the layout of the entire room here.
The curtains around are drawn, the whole room is slightly dark, there is spider silk and a lot of dust on the ceiling, it looks like it is not cleaned often, and even the kitchen where the cooking is covered with a thin layer of dust on the top, obviously I don't know how long it has not been used.
But whether it is on the floor or on the sofa, there are traces of frequent reading. And it's every book.,From this point of view.,It's very likely that this Yuwen scholar is also the type who forgets to sleep and eat as soon as he studies it.。
For this type of scholar, it is not strange that even if they die in their room one day, and it may be the type that has been dead for a long time and no one has found that the body stinks, because they often do not go out for ten days and half a month. It's like an old professor in the library of Tianfu Academy......
"Hehe, I'm sorry, I forgot that I ran out of drinking water here three days ago, and then I forgot to replenish it, so I can't even make tea, it's really rude. Yuwen Shi smiled awkwardly.
"It's alright, fellow scribe, we're not here for tea, let's just get to the point. ”
Xu Zhige deeply understands that there is no need to be too polite when dealing with this type of scholar, and it is easier to communicate with them when they say anything and say something directly, because they are not good at these people's sophistication or anything. If you rub shoulders with them, they'll get angry.
Hearing Xu Zhige's straightforward speech, Yu Wenshi's heart also relaxed slightly, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "Since that's the case, then let's get to the point." You want to know about sand poison fever, right?"
"First of all, what is going on with my friend's condition? and how to treat it. ”
Leo asked, he was the one who cared most about the swarthy man's life, and the others lacked a little enthusiasm.
"As I told when I was at the clinic, your friend was infected with sand poison fever. Yuwen stood up, picked up a book on the floor, flipped through it, and said, "According to the records handed down from my ancestors, this so-called sand poison fever must be something like a curse rather than a disease. ”
After flipping through the book, Yu Wenshi pointed to the contents of the book and showed it to everyone, "You see, this is the record I found about sand poison fever. ”
Leo took the book and flipped through it: "The sandbar has a strange poison, which can cling to the air, the mode of infection is uncertain, and the incubation period is unknown. Signs of infection include: the physical condition is not abnormal, but the body temperature inexplicably soars, and the blood boils. After a few days, the spirit was eroded, and the life of the infected person came to an end. ”
This sounds quite dangerous, and the most terrifying thing is that the way of infection is unknown, and the incubation period is unknown. In other words, people don't even know if they've been infected with sand poison fever, but they haven't broken out yet. When I think about it like this, it's really a little hairy.
Leo continued: "According to this account, the source of the sand poison fever is presumed to have been brought out by grave robbers on the sandbank. There's a mausoleum here on the sandbank?"
Yu Wenshi nodded and said, "Of course, although I can't see it now, this sandbar is the ruins of the capital of the Falcon Ancient Dynasty, and it is normal that there will be a mausoleum." Even now, you can occasionally find some antiques from the Falcon Dynasty, which is a characteristic of the sandbank. ”
I see! No wonder Leo chose to come to the sandbank! It turned out to be a return to his homeland.
"That'...... What do you mean...... People who have had sand poison fever...... Maybe it's the tomb robber who excavated the tomb of the Falcon Ancient Dynasty?"
Leo's face was gloomy and terrifying, originally, the protector he chose actually went to dig the grave of his ancestor, didn't this slap his own face?
"This ...... In fact, it is just speculation. Yu Wenshi sighed: "In fact, there are many people engaged in the profession of tour guides in the sandbank, and this tour guide is of course not taking people to the sandbar to play, but ......."
Yuwenshi's eyes glanced at Leo, and the meaning was self-evident. The so-called tour guide naturally takes people to dig graves and rob graves. And it is not surprising that such a person has been hit by sand poison fever!
Touch!
Leo punched the table.
"Calm down!" Xu Zhige hurriedly dissuaded Leo.
Lan Lan half-squinted her eyes and asked, "Do you still want to save him now?"
"Help!" said Leo coldly, "Wake him up, and then I'll ask him myself! See what he has to say, if it doesn't satisfy me......"
A flash of murderous intent flashed through Leo's eyes.
Xu Zhige asked again: "So, brother scribe, do you know that there is any way to cure the sand poison fever?"
"Well, I've studied some sources, and I've also seen some antidote to sand poison fever. Yu Wenshi pondered for a moment, and then said with some unconfidence: "But some of them are difficult for me to understand, and the medicinal materials needed are difficult to obtain, so I am not sure whether they can really work." ”
"Can you tell me what's going on?"
"I'll show you. ”
Yu Wenshi got up and turned back into the room, and after a while, he walked out with a somewhat broken ancient book, "This is my ancestor's note, which records how to cure sand poison fever. ”
"I'll take a look!" Xu Zhige took the ancient book and looked at it, "What kind of thing is this? Soul Returning Incense, Elm Money, Returning Charm...... These are medicinal herbs?"
"That's why I said, I don't know much about it......" Yu Wenshi was also a little distressed, he didn't know anything about the 'medicinal materials' he needed, so how to use them!
Leo was silent for a moment, then smiled, "There's nothing wrong with this!
"You know?"
Yu Wenshi was shocked, he didn't understand the notes handed down by his ancestors, but this person knew what to do with just one glance?
"This is a ritual of the Falcon Ancient Dynasty!"
Leo patted the picture on the top of the information, "Combined with what you said about the tomb robbers and reading this antidote method, I can understand the truth of this sand poison fever!"
"I want to hear about it!"
"Curse! This is the curse of the Falcon Ancient Dynasty! The curse of the martyrs in the mausoleum! No tomb robber can avoid it!" Leo said in a gloomy tone: "Sand poison fever is actually the soul of the martyrs of the Falcon Ancient Dynasty!"
"I see!Soul Returning Incense!Elm Money!Return Charm!These are all props to guide the soul of the dead to return to the underworld!" Xu Zhige high-fived.
"That's right, so this is the cure for sand poison fever!"
"I see!" A hint of longing flashed in Yu Wenshi's eyes, "Is this the vision after having 'power'? Sure enough, I can't make up for it by reading many books, if I have power......"
"It's a good thing that you know what to do!" Lan Lan said, "But, do you know how to get those materials?"
This question is very real, even if you know the process of the ceremony, what is the use of not having materials?
Leo spread his hands and said: "I remember the method of making the rejuvenating incense, and I can also draw the return talisman, but there is no way to do it with elm money, who will carry that kind of thing if there is nothing to do......"
"I know this!" said Yu Wenshi suddenly, "I know where there is elm money!"
"You know?"
Yu Wenshi smiled: "Didn't I say it, this sandbar is the ruins of the Falcon Ancient Dynasty, and it's not strange to dig something out here." As far as I know, someone actually sold this on the black market a few days ago. ”
"Is it sold on the black market?" Leo looked a little weird, "Don't they know what the elm money is for?"
"This is normal, nouveau riche pay attention to cultural heritage, although they don't know anything, but this does not prevent them from spending a lot of money to buy things and take them back to show off. Xu Zhige spread his hands and said, "Don't ask me why I know ......"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Leo glanced at Xu Zhige, and then asked Yu Wenshi, "Can you get that thing back?"
"I did my best. Yu Wenshi thought for a moment and said, "If you can do it, I think you can agree to me on one condition." ”
