Chapter 468 First Entry to Southern Yunnan
"Mom, you have been in this land of Yunnan for the rest of your life. Have you ever heard of the blood curse?" Yunshang went straight to the point. Just after hearing her say this, she was also a little afraid. She simply asked for a solution as soon as possible so as to leave here as soon as possible.
The old woman suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked frightened: "Girl, this blood spell is the art of lowering the head!"
"The blood spell is an extremely important ceremony in many head-lowering spells, especially the more lethaler the head-lowering spell. Only through the implementation of the blood spell can exert its strength, so there is a strong connection between lowering the head and the blood spell. It is also because the head-lowering master needs to use his own blood as a guide when he lowers his head. Therefore, when his head-lowering skill is broken, the head-lowering master will also be counterattacked by the head-lowering skill. The head-lowering master with insufficient skills is very likely to break the power and even reverse a life. Even if the head-lowering master's skill is deep, eight out of ten is also because of the head-lowering skill, and It is a great damage to the vitality, and we must urgently find a secret place to heal the injury, so as to escape the disaster of breaking the work. Therefore, if you don't apply the head-lowering spell, you will see blood as soon as you apply it. It has almost disappeared in the past hundred years.
Yunshang listened and quickly grabbed her arm: "Is it extinct? That is to say, no one can solve the blood curse today?
The old woman stared at Yunshang for a long time and said, "Since it is a spell that has been lost for a hundred years, naturally no one can understand it. Why is the girl interested in it?"
Yunshang smiled, let go of her palm, and pretended to say easily, "I'm just curious!" She hesitated for a moment and then said, "We are in a small place. If you are interested, you can go to Dali to inquire about it. There are many strange people there. Maybe someone knows it or not."
Hearing this, Yun Shang rekindled hope in his heart. He said goodbye to the woman, got on the horse and galloped to Dali City.
Dalley is a dam, leaning on Cangshan Mountain in the west and Erhai in the east. There is a stone road in the city. The main street runs from north to south, and the green tile roofs on both sides of the street are connected by houses, shops and workshops. The temperament is very leisurely. Family is running water, and every family is growing flowers. Camellia, wisteria, gull, cuckoo, blossoming for beauty, is also the unique scenery of Dali City.
Yunshang led the horse to wander around the ancient city, feeling the warm and leisurely sunshine. Looking at the beautiful white girls on the street, the hospitable aunts, the dazzling array of jade, everything is picturesque and beautiful.
The water grass is fat and beautiful, and the wind is charming! Yunshang stood on the top of Cangshan Mountain and watched the cooking smoke rise. Suddenly, there is a dark floating corner in my heart, and there is no familiar figure to fill the loneliness. It's like an empty wine glass, full of time without exception...
At night, Yunshang took a shower in the inn and continued to walk through the ancient streets with the fragrance. Somehow, she always felt that as long as she turned around a corner or entered an ancient alley, she would meet what she wanted to meet.
"Girl, do you want to buy a shawl?" An old man trembled and handed a shawl to Yunshang. Yunshang looked around at the cold street. He was kind-hearted for no reason. He took out a certain amount of ingots from his purse and put them into his bamboo basket.
"Girl, there are too many!" He picked up the ingot and handed it over with a smile, "This is worth five cents!"
"It doesn't matter. I'm willing to give it!" Yun Shang took the smoky shawl in the old man's hand and continued to walk forward.
"Girl, wait!" Yunshang turned around and frowned. When he saw it, he said gently, "Girl, don't be too persistent about everything!" Let nature take its course!"
Yunshang looked at him and didn't understand what he said, so he shook his head with a smile and turned away. There was a long sigh behind him.
The night dew is slightly cool, and the clouds unfold the shawl, appreciate its color that seems to be soaked in dust and smoke, which can't fade away, scattered shawl on the shoulders, and continue to move forward...
Yunshang walked into a dark room, and the walls were covered with all kinds of charms. Yunshang curiously pulled down one and looked at it. The yellow red pen was incomprehensible. The room was very messy, and there were some puppets and paper people on the shabby shelves. Yunshang approached and looked carefully. Suddenly, she saw a white and miserable thing in the back of the shelf. Yunshang stretched out her hand and picked it up, and it turned out to be a skull. Although he saw too many killings, he was still shocked by such an unexpected holding a skull. Yunshang put it away carefully, and his fingers turned to the puppets again. Suddenly, his shoulders sank. Yunshang looked sideways and put a skinny hand on Yunshang's shoulder. Yunshang turned around with an exclamation.
"What are you doing here?" The voice was particularly old. Yunshang stared at the skinny old man in front of her, and her heart became timid.
"I... Are you Mr. Wu Bai?" Yunshang bowed politely. He glanced at Yunshang coldly and walked to a big wooden box to play with the pile of strange things.
Yunshang stood there with a little embarrassment. He took a deep breath and raised his voice slightly: "I'm here to ask about the blood curse!" The old man was stunned for a moment, stopped his work, and turned his face to look at Yunshang from the bottom up. The dim yellow candlelight reflected his old face, which made people feel creepy.
"That kind of spell has disappeared. You go!" With that, he turned up the box again.
Yunshang took out an ingot of gold and handed it to him. He squatted down with a smile: "Old man, I'm here to ask for it sincerely." He looked at Yunshang and suddenly smiled strangely, showing his black and yellow teeth. He took the gold and said rudely, "I won't tell you, but I know there is a book with the answer you want!"
Yunshang asked excitedly, "What book?"
"This book was written by my uncle in those years. Later, he took many disciples to the capital and never came back!" Yunshang gradually smiled. Yes, it was the same as the legend that Lian Zhun said.
"Where is the book now? What's your name?"
"I haven't seen that book either. I heard from the master that it seems to be called "The Witch Curse", which records a lot of witchcraft and solutions. As for the whereabouts of the book, I don't know!"
"Why is it not clear? Aren't you their descendant?"
"Although my master and my uncle are from the same school, they have learned different ways. My uncle is proficient in witchcraft, and the master is well versed in witchcraft. However, the uncle was a diner of the Duan family in Dali. They all said that the Duan family's collection of books was comparable to the royal family. Maybe it was taken away by them!"
Yunshang went out of the door in a trance, Duan family? Is it the south wind?
"Miss Yunshang, drink some water!"
"Oh, thank you, aunt!" Yunshang took the water bowl handed over by Aunt Zhang and sat on the pile of materials. While drinking, he looked at the Duan house, which was far larger than the royal palace.
"Miss Yun, you are not a local!"
"Yes, my aunt called me Xiaoyun. Yunshang was exiled to a foreign country because she was divorced by her husband." Yunshang grinned at him and continued to drink the water in his hand.
"It's so pitiful. It's rare to see such an open-minded girl like you!"
Yunshang smiled and didn't answer. He looked at the pile of dry materials around him and said to Aunt Zhang, "I think these firewood are almost done. What else do you have to do?"
The aunt laughed and said, "No, you can rest. Look at how thin you are. I didn't expect that you are really strong. My son has been sick these two days, and the rough work in the kitchen is so urgent for me. Fortunately, I met the girl, or the old lady Yunshang will be scolded by the housekeeper again!"
"Aunuch, you're welcome. I just want to find a bowl of rice to eat!"
"Don't worry. Yunshang will find the white woman in charge later. She has a good relationship with me. I'll beg her to arrange a good job for you!"
"Alas! Then thank you, aunt!" Aunt Zhang patted Yunshang's hand with a smile, got up and went into the kitchen. Yunshang put down the water bowl and stretched out, with a smile on the corners of her mouth.
"Wow, this can't be done!" Mrs. Bai circled around Yunshang a few times, and then pointed to Yunshang's face and shook her head at Aunt Zhang.
"If we see each other in the evening, why don't you scare those masters?" Yunshang reached out and touched his cheek. In order to enter Duanfu, Yunshang specially changed his dress. He not only dyed his hair back black, but also specially pasted a large scar on his cheeks.
"You always think of a way. She is alone and pitiful!" Aunt Zhang took Yunshang's hand with a sympathetic face.
"Okay, okay, you can't serve people. You can go to the raccoon room!"
As soon as Aunt Zhang heard this, she quickly thanked her and pulled Yunshang to kowtow to Mrs. Bai.
"Forget it, we have been friends for so many years. You, let's go with Yunshang!" Yunshang turned around and looked at Aunt Zhang and said with a smile, "Aunuch is bothered. Yunshang will come to see you during the day!" After saying that, he went to the raccoon room with Mrs. Bai.
"What? Have you seen me today?
"No, the tenth aunt asked someone to send me a pile of clothes, and I can't straighten my waist!"
"Cut! That woman was not interested in looking at her even if she changed ten sets of clothes a day! If it hadn't been for the county magistrate's daughter, I wouldn't have married her!"
"I still love my eighth aunt too much!"
"The eighth aunt is my grandfather's cousin, and her relatives are naturally different. But she is so fierce to our servants!"
"Yes, don't let her go to the main room!"
"I don't know who I want to be your wife? This position has been hanging all the time!"
"I heard that I want to marry a Sichuan man in the past two years..."
Hearing this, Yunshang smiled and sat by the well and continued to beat his clothes. Lian Zhun, that evil and handsome man, now, I'm afraid he hates me to death!
The wind at night was a little cool, but with a pleasant fragrance. Yunshang raised her head slightly, her eyebrows were like silk, facing the night wind, and the silver moonlight sprinkled on her face. In the deep night sky, there is a bright full moon.
There was a huge wooden basin in front of her. Yunshang smiled and suddenly remembered something. She immediately got up and took off her shoes and socks and stood in the basin. The well water at night looked very cold. Yunshang shivered, sighed, and stepped on her feet up and down.
Suddenly, Yun Shang felt a gentle footstep behind him. Yun Shang suddenly turned around and was facing a man's eyes.
It turned out to be... him? In this piece of land surnamed Wang, she actually saw him?
Is it your own dazzle?
"Duan..." She quietly swallowed the word "south wind" in her heart.
This person... will it be him?
