An Empire as a Betrothal Gift

After Jingchen finished speaking, he coughed lightly: "The poor monk is finished."

Wei Lian looked back at Ji Yue, and asked after a while, "...Since the Resurrection Pill can keep him healthy and free from disease and disaster for the rest of his life, why is he still infected with the plague, and the medicine stone is ineffective?"

"He is not sick, nor is he poisoned." Jun Zhu said surprisingly.

"He was cursed."

Wei Lian frowned fiercely: "Spell?"

"I have to ask this brother." Jun Zhu turned his gaze to Zhang Xuwen and said with a smile, "You might as well tell me, what have you done?"

Zhang Xuwen looked terrified, closed his lips tightly, and resolutely refused to say a word.

Wei Lian's expression turned cold: "Say."

He thought Zhang Xuwen was suspicious before, but he only relied on intuition without evidence.The most urgent task at that time was to fight the plague, so I didn't pursue it any further, hoping to wait for it to be resolved in the future.

But if this negligence caused the current consequences... Wei Lian had every intention of killing him.

"It doesn't matter if you don't say it." Jun Zhu spread his palms, "It's just hiding such a thing."

When Zhang Xuwen saw the object in his palm, his complexion turned pale and his heart was ashamed.

It was a sculpture, made of gold, meticulously carved, and worth a lot of money.

It would be okay if it was just a golden statue, but this sculpture is carved with a five-clawed golden dragon, with blood jade beads acting as dragon eyes, so lifelike.

After staring at it for a long time, I feel evil.

When Wei Lian saw the golden dragon statue, especially the pair of blood-red dragon eyes, he looked away in disgust.

This statue gave him a terrible feeling... even stronger than the feeling he had when he stepped into the Yamen that day.

I think the source is from this golden dragon.

But in a yamen, how could there be a golden dragon?

It should be noted that the dragon chair, dragon couch, dragon robe and dragon chariot, everything related to the dragon must be linked to the emperor, and it is exclusive to the king, and ordinary people must not overstep it.If anyone other than the king uses items related to dragons, it will be regarded as treasonous.

No wonder Zhang Xuwen is so secretive.If he hadn't found this object, it was just a crime of dereliction of duty, and he might have a chance to survive.But as soon as the golden dragon statue came out, the crime was instantly raised to treason.

But how dare a seventh-rank county magistrate hide the golden dragon privately?

"Now, aren't you going to speak?" Jun Zhu asked with a smile.

Zhang Xuwen opened his mouth, with despair in his eyes.

It turned out that Zhang Xuwen boasted that his talents were underappreciated, and when he came to Qingping County, he was full of anger and complained all day long.He can only talk on paper and has no ability to solve cases. The people always bother him with trivial matters, and if he can't do it, they will call him a mediocre official in private, which makes Zhang Xuwen even more angry.

One night, he saw a masked man in white in front of his bed. He was so frightened that he thought he had encountered a ghost.

But the masked man didn't do anything to him, instead he left something behind and told him: "Enshrine it well, and you will surely rise to the top in the future."

After saying this, the man disappeared like a gust of wind.

Zhang Xuwen was still in shock and thought it was a hallucination. When he calmed down and lit a candle, he saw the thing on the table clearly, and was even more scared out of his wits.

It was a golden dragon statue!

How dare he, a mere county magistrate, use something in the shape of a dragon?If it is discovered, it will undoubtedly die!

Zhang Xuwen immediately wanted to throw it away, but the words of the masked man echoed in his ears again - enshrine it well, and you will surely rise to the top in the future.

Prosperity...?

These four words can be said to have hit Zhang Xuwen's weakness.Greed makes people delirious and bold, and it actually made him hesitate a bit, and he didn't throw away this hot potato right away.

Besides, the statue is made of real gold.Zhang Xuwen was vain by nature, yearning for glory and wealth, and came to Qingping County to become an official, but he didn't get any lucrative money, so he was willing to throw such a big piece of gold away.There is a statue hidden in this corner, who can find it?

With a fluke mentality and a bit of a rather believable idea, Zhang Xuwen really worshiped for a few days.

At the beginning, he just had the mentality of trying, anyway, his current situation couldn't be worse.Unexpectedly, after a few days of enshrining, he was really lucky.

First, he picked up gold on the road, then the fool who talked about him behind his back broke his leg in an accident, and then he was very lucky in solving the case. He obviously didn’t do anything, and the problems he encountered were solved by himself, and he got a sentence for nothing. Master's compliment.

Zhang Xuwen felt a little flustered, his face was glowing red in those few days, and his steps were brisk.Now he really believed that the golden dragon statue could change his luck, and he also believed that he would be able to flourish in the future.As for the mysterious masked man who he once thought was a ghost, he was regarded as an expert who came to guide him.

Unfortunately, not long after good luck, a plague broke out in Qingping County, and the people in the entire county were affected.

At this time, Zhang Xuwen also hypnotized himself that he would be able to get through it safely.There were sick people everywhere in the county, but only in the yamen area, no one was infected. He even believed that the golden dragon statue was protecting him.

How could one have imagined that this was the chief culprit of the disaster.

"It's really stupid." Junzhu sighed, "This golden dragon statue was cursed and enshrined every day by your parents and officials in Qingping County. The whole Qingping County will suffer. This place has bad geomantic omen and is barren and backward. Officials are mediocre, and if they are cursed again, disasters will surely occur. And then the plague will be rampant, and the people here will never die, and the curse cannot be lifted."

Zhang Xuwen was shocked, and wept loudly: "I didn't know that this statue was such an evil thing! If I knew this earlier, I would definitely throw this evil thing far away!"

It's not that he's repenting for the sins he has done, but he knows that he has caused a catastrophe, and he may have no way out.

"There's no such thing as a pie in the sky." Wei Lian stared at him coldly, "In the final analysis, it's just your greed."

Zhang Xuwen panicked: "Yes, but the people here are not dead! Didn't the young master control the plague! Has the curse been lifted?"

Jingchen sighed in pity.

"The reason why it can be controlled is because people with the fate of a real dragon have come." Jingchen shook his head and sighed, "Once the curse falls, either tens of thousands of people will die, or a real dragon will perish."

Although all living beings are equal, it is undeniable that the destiny of the real dragon is noble, which can be equal to tens of millions of ordinary people.This curse can only be ended by committing enough blood debts. Once the life of the real dragon enters the territory of Jiangzhou and enters the scope of the curse, he will exchange his life for the safety of countless people.

"When the last commoner recovers." Jun Zhu said lightly, "that's when the real dragon dies."

Because the real dragon never dies, more people will die.

"This curse that should have been borne by the remaining tens of millions of people is now borne by you alone." Jun Zhu looked at Ji Yue, "Your symptoms will naturally be much heavier and faster than theirs. If you don't come Here, the one who is cursed is my young disciple who also has the fate of a real dragon, and if Yuzhi is cursed, she will die immediately."

"Yuzhi, this is your death."

Wei Lian was slightly startled: "I will... die immediately? Then why did he...?"

Why did Ji Yue hold on for more than a day?

Is it because Ji Yue is the king, and the real dragon's fate is more stable and powerful than him, so he lasted longer?

The amount of information in these words is actually very large, and Wei Lian has already thought about it calmly.It was only today that he realized that he still has a true dragon destiny.

Jun Zhu shook his head: "No. The reason he can live till now is because you gave him the Resurrection Pill."

"Yuzhi once asked me whether the Huanhun Pill is an elixir." Jun Zhu said, "I'm telling you now that it is indeed extraordinary. The world is full of wonders, whether it is evil spells or mysterious spells, most people in the world have never seen it before." , but they all really exist. It’s just that it’s another world for ordinary people.”

Wei Lian nodded and said calmly, "So, Master is an outsider."

Supernatural powers, omniscient.

"I'm not a god, but I have more ability to see the secrets than ordinary people. I don't get involved in cause and effect, and I don't interfere in mundane affairs. I want to remind you of many things, but God prevents me from revealing them. I really don't want to care about the mundane world. "Jun Zhu sighed, "I just accepted a little apprentice like you, and I was destined to clean up the mess for you."

Wei Lian: "..."

"Speaking of which." Jun Zhu turned back to the topic, "Resurrection Pill can cure all diseases and is invulnerable to all poisons. It is an extremely precious medicine. Although it can't solve the spell, it can also save life. That's why he is safe and sound. .”

Ji Yue breathed a sigh of relief: "..."

Did he just mean that he was safe and sound?

"Do you understand the prophecy now?" Jun Zhu said to Wei Lian, "Don't show your sharpness before you reach the crown, otherwise you will look desperate. The reason why you showed your sharpness is because you gave him the Resurrection Pill and solved his poison. And if you give him the Resurrection Pill, if you get cursed again, you will die of course.”

"So in this world, only he can stop your catastrophe. He took the Resurrection Pill that was supposed to save your life. This is the karma that he should have paid you back."

After hearing this, Wei Lian only grasped one important point.

Ji Yue will not die.

This made him breathe a sigh of relief. Seeing Ji Yue's appearance at this moment, he was speechless again.

... Isn't life better than death?

"Then is there a way to completely resolve the curse?" Wei Lian asked.

"Of course." Jun Zhu said, and handed Ji Yue a pill, "Eat it."

Ji Yue accepted without hesitation.

What followed was a scene that could be called fantasy.

The severely rotten arm recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and its appearance also recovered rapidly, shrinking to only a dark red spot at the corner of the eye.

The young man's face was handsome and coquettish, and the dark red at the end of his eyes added a flaw to this perfect cheek, but made it even more charming and gorgeous.

... To put it bluntly, Ji Yue has a good background, so a big piece of red can make him look arrogant.If it were an ordinary face, it would definitely be ugly.

"This is the mark of the blood curse." Jun Zhu said, "The medicine I gave can only make his symptoms subside temporarily, and it will be the same as before in three months. The Resurrection Pill can only hang his life. But it needs to be fully recovered. , you need to kill the person who cast the curse."

"The person who casts the curse will not die. After three months, he will return to his original state with his body shattered." Jun Zhu glanced at Wei Lian, "I believe you would not want to see him like that."

"Who is the person who cast the curse?" Wei Lian asked, his mind spinning rapidly.

If we talk about incantations, it is naturally the most prosperous country in Liang.The poisonous witchcraft over there is famous, Wei Lian now 1 regrets why he didn't learn the spell.

Otherwise, he would be the first to curse the one who cursed Ji Yue to death.

There is also the mysterious man who handed over the golden dragon statue to Zhang Xuwen, which is also of concern.

The other party's painstaking efforts to make waves in Jiangzhou are definitely aimed at Qin.This curse is clearly full of malice towards the Ordained of the True Dragon.If Ji Yue didn't come, the plague in Jiangzhou would spread, and the foundation of Qin would be damaged.When Ji Yue came, she was cursed and died, and the state of Qin was even more at stake.

Extremely vicious.

"It's up to you." Jun Zhu shook his head, he didn't know everything, and the deduction had already consumed a lot of skill, so it couldn't be more accurate.

"But I have a clue." Jun Zhu said again, "Everything is about cause and effect. The Resurrection Pill is a sacred object. It is your fate that you got it from a girl. As a price, you have to help her solve a problem. "

"Solve this matter, this curse will probably be solved."
