Chapter 2121 Curse or Gu

In the endless desert, the scorching sun hangs high in the sky. The black sandstorm has passed and the sky is clear again.

Hu Bayi and others who had been half buried in the sand also woke up one after another. The few people who survived the disaster were shocked and happy. They couldn't help but sit on the sand and laugh and cry.

Professor Chen was still a little crazy. An Liman and Hao Aiguo comforted Professor Chen that everything was over, everyone was fine, and there were no casualties.

Professor Chen looked at the others in disbelief and found that everyone was here. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether he was dreaming or still hallucinating.

Hao Aiguo and the others saw Professor Chen like this and asked Hu Bayi what happened to them. When I heard that they followed them into the underground passage and even saw the ghost cave, I was suddenly a little surprised.

They explained that they followed Hao Aiguo outside to record information about the ancient city of Jingjue, and did not enter the underground cave at all. Even Sa Di Peng followed them directly after fetching water.

Hu Bayi was stunned when he heard this. Although he knew that what he saw in the ghost cave was an illusion, was this illusion too real? Even if he was in a hallucination, could other people be in the same hallucination as him, and could they even know what each other was thinking and saying?

"This is not right, something is wrong!" Hu Bayi said and hit himself hard. When he realized that it hurt, he knew that he was not hallucinating.

"Master Zhao, do you know what's going on?"

Zhao Shucheng nodded and said: "Of course, in fact, although corpse-scented konjac has the ability to make people enter hallucinations, it cannot make everyone enter hallucinations simultaneously, or even maintain them in the same illusion."

"Then how do you explain our situation? It's impossible that we were all hallucinations after entering the underground passage, and there's nothing real at all, right?"

Zhao Shucheng saw Fatty Wang and Hu Bayi who were a little anxious and said, "No, of course it's not all an illusion. In fact, there is not only corpse-scented konjac inside, but also a mysterious existence. It uses the ability of corpse-scented konjac to control All of you have entered the illusion, so you can act together and see and hear the same thing, otherwise you would have noticed something was wrong. "

"Originally, after the corpse-scented konjac was destroyed, you should be able to wake up for a while, but you were a little too relaxed, so you were controlled by it again and entered the illusion, and then you saw everything you saw later. However, because there was no control in the follow-up, even the corpse The aroma of the fragrant konjac is reduced, so we can easily get out of the illusion and find a way out."

"The woman you are talking about is not Queen Jingjue, right? How old is she? Isn't she still dead?" Wang Kaixuan said in shock.

"Of course not. It is a snake god who came to the world from the imaginary space. The body decays, but the soul lasts forever. The Evil Luohai Clan worships the bones and eyes of the snake god as sacred objects, and the snake god is in the evil Luohai Clan. After the sacrifice, the Eluohai tribe was given the method to use the power of the divine object, so many people in the Eluohai have power that far exceeds that of ordinary people.”

Hu Bayi said hesitantly: "Is there really a god in this world?"

Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said: "I don't know, Zi Buyu has strange powers and chaos, not to mention whether this snake god is a god or just a hallucinogenic ability. These are all uncertain things. But at least there is One thing that can be confirmed is that the so-called snake god must be a totem worshiped by the Evil Luohai Clan and even the Guidong Clan, and it can also make people fall into illusions, thereby gaining the fear of the Guidong Clan..."

Wang Kaixuan suddenly discovered a blind spot and said, "That's not right. Why didn't you do anything? You even said that you drove the coffin of the Kunlun Sacred Tree into the ghost cave. Doesn't that mean that the snake god has been eliminated by you?"

Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said: "Of course the matter will not be solved so easily. I did not open the coffin at all, nor did I have a face-to-face communication with the snake god. I am not sure whether I was really talking to the snake god, or whether I was also deep in the illusion. But nothing matters now. We are all alive and have witnessed the existence of Jingjue Ancient City with our own eyes. Everything is worth it."

After hearing this, Wang Kaixuan said with some regret: "What's good? We only got 20,000 US dollars from Miss Yang on this trip, and we didn't get anything else."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Fat man, this is what's wrong with you. How come you get nothing at all?"

The fat man was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment and said, "I did not take anything from Jingjue Kingdom, I swear!"

"No need to swear, of course I know. But we didn't really get nothing."

Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi looked at Zhao Shucheng curiously and asked, "That's not right. You came with us. Did you take away the things inside when you came out of the underground palace?"

As he said this, Wang Kaixuan took a careful look at the archaeological team and said, "Master Zhao, I have to say, this is what you think, or you are thoughtful." '

Zhao Shucheng rolled his eyes at Wang Kaixuan and said: "What are you thinking? There is something wrong with everything in this Jingjue Ancient City. I will not do such a thing. Have you forgotten one thing? Before we arrived at Jingjue Ancient City Tomb robber?"

"You mean..." Hu Bayi also thought of something and looked at Zhao Shucheng.

"Yes, they excavated many ancient tombs along the way. How many good things were stolen? The archaeological team didn't pay attention, but I did. So I burned the corpses for them and took some inconspicuous things. Hide it and we’ll share it equally when we get back. As for the bigger things, we can’t hide them, so we’ll keep them for the archaeological team to study.”

"Master Zhao is righteous!" Wang Kaixuan couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Hu Bayi also nodded. This was something he didn't expect. After all, he was only thinking about the ancient city of Jingjue along the way, but he forgot that the tomb robbers had gained a lot. In addition to some mummies, other small things were also valuable. That's right.

The archaeological team didn't know what Zhao Shucheng and the others were thinking. Seeing that Professor Chen was still a little crazy, they could only comfort Professor Chen and leave here quickly while the weather was nice.

Thanks to Zhao Shucheng coming out in advance to join the camel team, when the black sandstorm came, the kettles and buckets were tied tightly, and the archaeological team was not in danger of running out of water for the time being.

However, due to the influence of the black sandstorm, the group lost their way again and strayed far away from the previous route. Anliman is indeed a living map in the desert. Even if it is far away from the original route, it can still find the nearest supply point, so that everyone does not have to lose their way in the vast desert.

Especially when An Liman was praying together, he saw a white camel in the distance. He was even more excited and led everyone forward, found a water source, and even found traces of vehicles passing by.

When Shirley Yang was separated from Hu Bayi and the others, she couldn't help but reveal to Hu Bayi that she was a descendant of the Zagrama tribe. Their ancestors were cursed for spying on the secrets of the ghost cave, and all their descendants were alive. But fifty years old. The reason why she tried every possible means to find the ancient city of Jingjue was to break the curse and save herself and her mother, but now it seems she has failed.

In order to win Hu Bayi's trust, Shirley Yang directly untied her clothes and exposed the mark on her back shoulder. It was a red eye-like pattern, which didn't look like a good thing. Zhao Shucheng didn't pay much attention to the affairs of Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang. He was still thinking about what happened in Jingjue Ancient City. The so-called snake god seems to be too easy to deal with. Thinking about it now, when he was confronting Zhao Shucheng, he might have been using illusions to deal with Hu Bayi and the others.

That's why Zhao Shucheng could throw the Kunlun sacred tree into the ghost cave so easily. But Zhao Shucheng didn't believe that the snake god just disappeared. There must be some secrets that he hadn't discovered yet.

Now that they have visited the ancient city of Jingjue, the archaeological team's mission has been completed, so after returning to the gathering place, the group embarked on the road back to the city.

Hu Bayi was trying to figure out what was false and what was real in Jingjue Ancient City along the way. Unfortunately, he didn't figure it out in the end, so he could only put it aside and explore it later.

Wang Kaixuan was overjoyed. The small items Zhao Shucheng brought back included gold and silver coins, jade pendants, etc. Although the value may not be very high, this trip was not in vain, so he spent the whole day in Da Jinya's store, bragging about what he had learned along the way, and selling the harvest to Da Jinya.

But on this day, when Wang Kaixuan was bragging, he suddenly felt some pain in his shoulder. When the big gold tooth was opened for him to check, he found an eye-shaped pattern on Wang Kaixuan's shoulder.

The same is true for Hu Bayi. After he said goodbye to Shirley Yang, because of the 20,000 US dollars given by Shirley Yang and the sale of some things he got this time, he was very financially comfortable, so he was thinking about things at home. The sudden pain in his shoulder and the curse mark he saw in the mirror made Hu Bayi a little worried.

He suddenly thought of something and went straight to Zhao Shucheng's antique stall. He saw Zhao Shucheng sitting on a recliner and chatting with the people passing by.

"Master Zhao, is it convenient for you now?"

When Zhao Shucheng saw Hu Bayi's appearance, he immediately knew that something was not simple. He looked at the things in front of the stall and asked Hu Bayi to clean up with him. The two of them came to Zhao Shucheng's home.

"Master Zhao, haven't you changed much since you came back from Jingjue Ancient City?"

Zhao Shucheng was stunned for a moment after hearing this and asked, "No, what's wrong?"

"I feel like I'm under a curse."

"curse?"

"Yes, a curse. Shirley said that people who pry into the secrets of ghost caves will be cursed. I didn't believe it at first, but now I also have cursed patterns on my body, so it shouldn't be fake."

As he spoke, Hu Bayi opened his shoulders, let Zhao Shucheng take a look, and continued: "That's why I came to ask if you are also cursed."

Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said: "I don't have any curse, but I think since you have it, the fat man will also have it, and even Professor Chen may have been cursed. But what is going on with this curse? Shirley Yang and Did you say that?"

"To put it simply, it is said that this curse is passed down from generation to generation, and it is impossible to even live beyond the age of fifty."

Zhao Shucheng asked curiously: "Then has she ever said what will happen with the curse in a situation like Professor Chen's? After all, Professor Chen is over fifty years old, so he can't just die of a sudden illness, right? What if he died? Can it be passed on to his children later?”

"probably?"

Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said: "This doesn't make sense. Professor Chen's child was born before the curse, so if the curse is due to the bloodline, then it should be in the children born after the curse, and not in Professor Chen." On the child who has already been born. On the other hand, if it appears directly on Professor Chen’s child, then this curse is somewhat interesting, as it can directly trace the blood relationship. "

Seeing Zhao Shucheng's analysis with such enthusiasm, Hu Bayi said anxiously: "Master Zhao, now is not the time to study this. I..."

Zhao Shucheng thought for a while and said, "In that case, I can try to see if I can help you remove the curse, but I don't know if it will work."

"As long as there is a way, as for whether it can be removed, at least try."

Zhao Shucheng nodded, then covered his palm with the golden light spell, pressed it on Hu Bayi's shoulder where the curse pattern appeared, and tried to use the energy of the golden light spell to remove the curse. But Zhao Shucheng soon discovered that this method simply didn't work.

This curse seemed to be growing inside Hu Bayi's flesh. He had no reaction or even been affected by the energy of the Golden Light Curse.

This makes Zhao Shucheng somewhat strange. If it is really a curse, the Golden Light Curse will have some effect. If it wasn't a curse, but some kind of Gu insect, why didn't I have any reaction?

However, I thought that shortly after entering the underground passage, I directly covered my body with a golden light spell. Maybe that was why I was not cursed or poisoned.

Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan were a little miserable. Because they were possessed by illusions, they were easily parasitized by Gu insects.

Zhao Shucheng also tried to detect whether the curse pattern was a Gu insect. After all, as long as it is a Gu insect, it must have the breath of life for you. Unfortunately, Zhao Shucheng didn't know much about Gu insects, and he didn't find anything in the end.

When Hu Bayi saw that Zhao Shucheng couldn't solve it, he felt a little disappointed and said, "It seems that this is really a curse?"

Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said: "It's hard to say whether it's a curse, maybe it's a Gu." Don't be too discouraged. Since it's a curse or a bug, there must be a solution. '

"I hope so."

Just as he was talking, Hu Bayi suddenly thought of something and said: "Master Zhao, I have to go and see Fatty. If this happens to him, then we must find a solution. And on the archaeological team's side, If so many people have symptoms, it is urgent to solve the problem. After all, Professor Chen and Professor Hao Aiguo are here. "
