On the crowded Xishi Street, pedestrians are bustling with each other, vendors are scrambling to shout, and the bright Wangyou flowers occupy people's sight.However, in such a lively scene, no one is happy.

Xiao Luomo turned his head, his eyes shifted from the solemn faces of passers-by to the peddlers vying to sell, feeling a little creepy.

"They're not selling flowers at all, right? I don't think the owners of those stalls took any copper coins, but just sent flowers for show." Xiao Luomo raised his cat's paw and scratched Nie Zhen's chest, and asked in a low voice: "The system just now Explain the curse of Wangyou to me, is this a ritual?"

Nie Zhen's face was heavy, and he touched the kitten's warm body soothingly, and said in a low voice: "Well, the people of Daqing are not afraid of forgetting worries, they want to pass on their beliefs with this special ceremony, and warn future generations Greed will be rewarded, you must not repeat the same mistakes, you must have a basic awe of the gods, cats must also remember."

"However, not everyone believes it. There are always people who think that it is someone else's paranoia before they have seen the curse of Wangyou with their own eyes." Gathering in a booth, they laughed and played without any scruples. They picked the flowers on the booth with disgust and discarded the flowers they didn't like at will.

The stall owner just looked at them and shook his head helplessly, then left the stall and walked towards the policeman who was patrolling not far away, as if he had explained the situation and came back again, watching quietly as the policeman took the scolding person into custody. Walk.

Nie Zhen also noticed this scene, and said in a deep voice after a while: "It's better to believe it. The cat will see this situation every year in the future, so don't worry about it."

Hearing the words, the system suddenly circled around Nie Zhen, and said with a smirk, "Luo Mo, I know why Prince Rui brought you out today."

"Why?" Xiao Luomo was stunned for a moment, remembering that he wanted to sleep in today, but Nie Zhen insisted on carrying him out, and even got angry for a long time.

The system said mysteriously: "Prince Rui's physique avoids all evils, so logically speaking, he doesn't need to abide by these supernatural rules at all. You can see that he usually dismisses the national teacher. Even if he doesn't come out to participate in the flower market today, no one can treat him How is he? Even Wangyou can’t deal with him. But he not only brought you out early in the morning, but also explained so much, don’t you understand?”

Xiao Luomo blinked in surprise, and looked up at Nie Zhen, who touched his forehead with his finger, and asked softly, "Did Nie Zhen start to believe in ghosts and gods because he was worried about me?"

"En." The man responded in a low voice, without any unnaturalness.

Xiao Luomo rubbed his chest happily, and comforted him: "I'm a cat. Wangyou will definitely not work for me. Don't be nervous."

Nie Zhen was slightly taken aback, and asked in a low voice, "Are you serious?"

"There should be no precedent for pets being cursed by Wangyou in Daqing. So I'm safe, don't be afraid." Xiao Luomo replied seriously.

Nie Zhen pondered for a moment, the worry in her black eyes did not diminish, she just nodded slightly.

***

The group stayed at the flower market until noon, and since the ceremony lasted until midnight, no one in between could leave the West Market, and Prince Rui's Mansion was far away in the East Market, so Nie Zhen simply carried the cat to the inn for dinner, and ended up in the second market. Lou actually met Princess Changle and Zhu Ming.

"Brother Rui... come over here." Chang Le changed his words in time before calling out "Brother Rui" and called Nie Zhen into the private room to eat together.

Zhu Ming was obviously shocked and unbelievable when he saw Nie Zhen, and it took a long time before he said: "Brother Nie has come out to participate in the flower market this year. This is the first time." How are you?"

"The cat is fine." Xiao Luomo nodded happily, and seriously answered for Nie Zhen: "Nie Zhen came out because he was worried about me."

Zhu Ming was stunned when he heard the words, and nodded stupidly, suddenly wondering whether he had not had enough rest these days and had hallucinations, otherwise how could he understand the cat's cry.

The system shook his head sympathetically and warned: "You're going to scare him into a fool, don't use your abilities indiscriminately."

In the past few days, Xiao Luomo has been studying his energy characteristics, and he has been able to control the use of energy very well. As long as he is willing, those who have been helped by him with lucky energy can understand his cry.

"It doesn't matter," Xiao Luomo dissatisfied through the space of consciousness: "We all know Zhu Ming's personality, and it is absolutely impossible for him to violate the principle and harm me in this respect. And I will not use it casually. Own."

"It's good that you know." The system was relieved.

Changle didn't know what happened to his fiancé just now. Seeing that Zhu Ming was in a daze, he pushed him, turned to Nie Zhen and asked, "Brother, is he going to stay at the flower market until midnight? Zhu Ming will be in charge of it today. If you stay, come with us."

Nie Zhen responded, and then took out a small bottle of Wangyou flower juice that the vendor had given just now, put it in front of Zhu Ming, and said coldly, "Aren't these things specially supervised?"

Zhu Ming's pupils constricted, and he hurriedly took the bottle, opened it and smelled it carefully, then closed it tightly again, and said with a somewhat ugly face: "It is indeed Wangyouhua. I am afraid it was brought in by the people who moved to the capital from other places recently."

"How is this possible? Are you sure it's Wangyou?" Princess Changle frowned and said, "I remember that at the beginning of this year, after someone was infected with the flower juice, Zhu Ming proposed to ban Wangyou flower juice. At that time, my brother agreed and sent him to do it. , All the Wangyou stored in various places were destroyed within two months, and the government’s ban has been emphasized so many times, how can someone still do such black-hearted and harmful things without authorization?"

"Black merchants are only looking for profit. Wangyou has a wide range of uses, and it is inevitable that some will use it secretly without conscience." Nie Zhen looked indifferent, "This substance is most frequently used in dyed fabrics and food spices, you'd better start from these two aspects as soon as possible Check it out, otherwise it will be Zhu Ming who will be responsible for the accident."

Zhu Ming put away the bottle and nodded gratefully, "Thank you for reminding me, I will report this matter when the flower market is over today, and I will check it thoroughly at that time. The side effects of Wangyou are not obvious in a short time, as long as you stop taking it in time With the antidote, no one will die."

Nie Zhen nodded, seeing that Xiao Er had already served the dishes, so he brought over Xiao Luomo's cat meal, and filled two servings in a small bowl, one was left to wait for the temperature to drop, and the other was picked out of the fish first. bone.

Little Luomo had already sat on the table, and seeing that Zhuming and Changle were still discussing in a low voice about banning Wangyou Flower Juice, it asked Nie Zhen in a low voice, "What are the specific side effects of the Wangyou Flower Juice you mentioned? Why are you all so nervous?"

"Taking too much Wangyou flower juice can make people confused, become stupid and forgetful, and in serious cases will die directly." Nie Zhen said lightly: "Before this side effect was not discovered at the beginning of this year, Wangyou flower juice was widely used in various industries. It is widely used in various industries, its production cost is extremely low, and its functions are diverse, so it is very popular among the people.”

Xiao Luomo's eyes widened, "But many people have touched Wangyouhua today, if the petals are accidentally crushed, they will also touch it, right?"

"It's okay, Wangyou flower juice can directly contact the human body, and it has no side effects, but it cannot be taken." Nie Zhen put the boned cat rice in front of the kitten, and coaxed in a low voice: "Eat first."

Xiao Luomo obediently lowered his head and bit a small piece of soft and tender fish meat, and after swallowing it, he said slowly: "Those people know that this thing has side effects, so they shouldn't produce it. Or in another way... If they strictly forbid The catering industry uses Wangyou flower juice, and other industries slow down the supervision as appropriate, is this feasible?"

"It's theoretically possible." Nie Zhen put down his teacup. He looked at the kitten intently, and after thinking about it for a while, he said, "It's just that the cat has forgotten one thing. Even though the government strictly supervises, some people still die because of illiteracy or delayed news." Ignore the regulations, so the safest way is to completely disable Wangyou."

"That's right." Little Luomo nodded, looking at his own bowl, suddenly felt a little dizzy for some reason, so he shook his little head, trying to wake himself up.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that its eyes were half closed, Nie Zhen reached out and stroked the cat's head.

"Meow meow Nie Zhen, I'm a little dizzy." Xiao Luomo replied softly. It stood up and walked towards Nie Zhen. It felt weak in all its limbs. It wanted to go around the teacup on the table, but it bumped into it for some reason.

Nie Zhen hurriedly reached out to protect it, took the cat from the table into his arms, and stroked its forehead gently.

When Zhu Ming heard the movement, he turned his head and looked over, and asked, "What's wrong with the cat? Do you need me to see it?"

"It's dizzy." Nie Zhen recalled that Zhu Ming's other identity was Concubine Yu's veterinarian, so he handed the cat over carefully.

Zhu Ming checked it carefully, then shook his head puzzledly and said, "The cat is fine, maybe it's just sleepy and thinking... No!"

Before the words were finished, Zhu Ming frowned and quickly got up and walked to Nie Zhen, picked up the small bowl of Luomo and sniffed it, then took out a sandalwood box from his arms, opened it and picked up a little white powder from it , carefully sprinkled into the food on the table, and put a little on top of the fish in the small ink bowl.A few seconds passed, and those dishes and the little ink-stained fish slowly turned blood red.

"As expected..." Zhu Ming sighed, put away the box, shook his head and said, "These dishes are mixed with Wangyou flower juice, maybe there is something wrong with the spices. The cat cub should be like this because he ate fish .”

"Is Wangyouhua harmful to cats?" Nie Zhen frowned, speaking in an extremely cold voice.

"There is no harm in theory. Because Wangyou only has side effects on people. And the amount of Wangyou in the dish is very small, even ordinary people can't feel anything after eating it." Zhu Ming reached out and put his hand on Xiao Luomo's neck to explore , hesitated: "But the kitty feels dizzy...it's not good."

As if he suddenly thought of something, Zhu Ming straightened up, his face was a little pale, he thought for a while before looking at Nie Zhen, hesitantly said: "Brother Nie, do you remember the blood contract you signed with the cat cub? At that time I used your Blood is used as a medicine. Its problem should be related to this, but because this matter offends you a bit, I have not told you all about it."

Nie Zhen nodded, his whole body was condensed, his eyes were dark, already a little manic, but he still said patiently: "But it's okay to say."

"Okay, then I'll just say it straight." Zhu Ming took a deep breath, as if trying to calm down.

His face was so pale that it was unnatural, and Chang Le frowned suspiciously when he saw it, and said: "Could it be that you are hiding something important? Otherwise, why are you so guilty?"

"I'm not guilty." Zhu Ming sighed, and when Chang Le interrupted him, he also relaxed a lot, and simply broke the jar and said directly: "The signing of a blood contract requires both parties to be voluntary, one party is in charge, and the other is passive. , that is, the bowl of blood that brother Nie provided before. When the ceremony is completed, the blood deed will take effect, but it does not mean that it is completely established. If it is to be established permanently and not be destroyed by foreign objects, both parties need to perform Zhou Gong's ceremony .”

"You..." Chang Le sat up straight in an instant, and said in disbelief: "What do you say?"

"Gift of the Duke of Zhou." Zhu Ming smiled weakly, "Since the invention of the blood deed, the users have always been humans, and there has never been a precedent for humans and pets. This is why Master Yuan'an and I hesitated before. But at that time, we were helpless, so we thought about only signing the preliminary agreement, not the final step. Wait until the holy cat turns into a human, and then tell Brother Nie the secret. Who would have thought of the curse of Wangyou in today’s cat cub club .”

"What's the relationship between the blood contract and Wangyou?" Nie Zhen said in a deep voice, "Didn't you say that the curse has no effect on cats?"

"That's on the premise that there is no blood contract." Zhu Ming put away his smile, sat back at the table, and said cautiously:

"Brother Nie, do you know how special your physique is? All evils retreat, but they are not born as ghosts and gods. This also includes Wangyou. But Wangyou has a spirit, and normal pets do not need to be cursed by it, so they are immune to forgetfulness." danger of worry.

But the cat cub has your blood pact in its body, which means that its blood has been fused with your blood. From the day the blood pact was signed, it is not just a cat. "

"You mean, cats are now equal to people in Wangyou's eyes? Are they also within the scope of its curse?" Nie Zhen asked.

"Exactly." Zhu Ming said affirmatively, "I guess it was Wangyou's curse that entered its body and realized it, and deliberately wanted to harm it, but in the end, it was backlashed by the blood contract. The situation where the two parties refused to give in to each other Next, if the blood contract has insufficient energy to suppress Wangyou, the cat cubs will be in danger. The current plan can only strengthen the blood contract."

After Zhu Ming finished speaking, the other two were silent.He wiped his face, and persuaded in a low voice: "My lord and Xiao Luomo have a very deep relationship. If you can accept it, let's complete the last step of the blood contract. This matter is really helpless. I have already discussed it with my uncle, but I still can't do it." Find another way."

Hearing this, Nie Zhen looked down at the kitten with its eyes tightly closed in his hand, saw it meow lightly in discomfort, rubbed its head hard, as if trying to relieve dizziness, and finally spoke in a hoarse voice.His tone was extremely cold, and a little anger could be heard from it if he listened carefully.

"The cat has not yet learned how to change form. The national teacher thinks, how should the king and it perform the ceremony of Zhou Gong?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Ming and Chang Le were stunned.
