After crossing the high wall and swooping down, Dao Yuan surged, flames bloomed, and a half-crouched woman in the corner suddenly turned her head in horror.
Jiang Wangsheng stopped his sudden advance, grasped the extinguishing flower, and landed it in front of her.
Because he noticed at that moment that there was no Daoyuan fluctuation on this woman's body, and her eyes were blurry, and she did not seem to be completely awake.
Looking at the burning paper figure in front of the woman, that strange feeling obviously comes from this.
Jiang Wang knocked the paper man down with a palm from the air.
The woman's eyes cleared, and she looked at Jiang Wang, who was wearing a cloak and holding a sword in his hand, and said uneasily: "Who are you? Don't come closer, I'm going to call someone!"
Jiang Wang lifted up his cloak, revealed his young face, frowned and asked, "Who are you and what are you doing here?"
"I'm..." This woman had a gentle and pleasant face, but her frightened expression at this moment was even more charming.
She turned her hand behind her back to grab the paper figurine, probably to hide the incriminating evidence.
At the same time, he suddenly remembered something, and said very hard: "This is my home! What do you care about me?"
She only felt her eyes blur. The young man wearing a cloak in front of her seemed to move, but it didn't seem to move.
The only difference is... he is holding a paper figurine with a burning corner in his hand.
"Give it back to me!" she shouted.
Jiang Wang looked at the paper figurine over and over for a long time, confirming that there was indeed something sinister about it.
But what puzzled him was that the paper only had two words "curse" written on the chest.
Apart from that, nothing is written, not even simple spells for falling down, falling into a pit, etc., let alone the corresponding idioms that conform to the ritual.
The word "curse" sounds simple to say, but to be put into practice, it usually has a more specific direction, such as shortening one's life span or something like that.
The scene before him was completely inconsistent with Jiang Wang's knowledge.
He couldn't help but ask: "What are you cursing?"
Probably seeing Jiang Wang's speed and knowing that she had no room to resist, the woman replied angrily: "It's a curse!"
Jiang Wang: "..."
Jiang Wang realized that he had met a little girl who didn't understand anything.
Even if this piece of paper does have some effect, but it doesn't write anything, it would be a ghost if it could succeed. Unless the woman in front of me is the daughter of some evil god.
"Then let me ask another question." Jiang Wang said: "Why do you use this curse paper man?"
The woman was silent for a moment, and tears suddenly flowed down.
"My cousin...my cousin is going to die." She sobbed and said, "He's going to be eaten by that monster outside the city."
This was the first time Jiang Wang heard that someone in Youguo called the giant turtle beast a monster. Most of them respected it like a god because it was the sacred beast that protects the country.
At the same time, he remembered what Xu Xiangqian, a man in Confucian attire, said, "Look, all those turtle boys are so wretched and cautious. If you rank the worst in the evaluation, you will be dismissed and eaten!"
Being deposed and eaten. At first, he thought being eaten was just a description of having power taken away. But if it comes to the woman in front of him, he should really be eaten...
This matter would have aroused Jiang Wang's disgust, but after the fall of Maplewood City, his mind changed.
If it weren't for those in power in Zhuang Court who neglected their duties and didn't take the lives and property of the people seriously, how could Maplewood City have suffered such a calamity?
Although Youguo's measures are a bit harsh, they may have a miraculous effect. After all, the starting point is for ordinary people.
"If you don't do your job well as an official, you can't protect the country and the people, and you only know how to act arrogantly and bring good fortune, you should die!" Jiang Wang said.
"You're talking nonsense! My cousin is a good official!"
"How can a good official fail the evaluation?"
"This...I..." The woman choked for a moment, but repeated with tears: "No, my cousin is very good, he is very good. He said it had nothing to do with the evaluation, he was framed. No matter how he
If you do it, you will still be eaten in the end.”
"Who framed him?"
"I...I don't know."
Jiang Wang didn't want to listen to the woman's excuse for his sweetheart anymore. He didn't think it was true and objective, so he asked instead: "Where did your cursed paper man come from?"
It is also his original goal to trace the origin of the cursed paper man and uncover the hidden cultists.
If there are evil cults in the world, you should kill them.
"It's my wet nurse. Since Qing Ge'er's death, her condition has gotten worse and worse. I occasionally take her home to stay for a few days, but she never wants to stay for a long time. After hearing about my cousin,
She said this can help me, as long as I curse them, they will get retribution..."
Perhaps because she had just escaped from the influence of the cursed paper man, she seemed to be talking a lot about whatever was on her mind.
"Who is Brother Qing?" Jiang Wang interrupted her.
"He's the wet nurse's son..."
"Where does your wet nurse live?"
After she said the address in a daze, she asked again: "Why do you ask this?"
"Do good and accumulate virtue." Jiang Wang said.
She was stunned for a moment, and suddenly begged Jiang Wang: "Then help me! Save my cousin, okay?"
"I'm not interested in helping you. I can't help you either." Jiang Wang refused directly: "Getting rid of the cultists who bewitched you is the only good thing I can do for you."
Living in a place like this, this woman's status must not be simple, and she would not be able to invite monks. But now she is bewitched, and she can only hide here secretly and burn paper.
This shows the complexity between this.
He, Jiang Wang, was unfamiliar with the place and did not have the power to conquer everything, so of course he would not intervene rashly.
Moreover, since dereliction of duty and being eaten by turtle beasts is the political environment of Youguo, he has no reason to interfere.
The woman just begged: "He is a good man, he is really a good man! You believe me. Please help me!"
If it was Linghe... I would definitely try to help.
Thinking of Ling He, Jiang Wang's heart ached.
He stopped talking, picked up a stone with his toe, and kicked it.
The stone accelerated suddenly, made a screaming sound, and directly punched a hole in a rockery in the courtyard!
"who!"
"what sound?"
Someone in the courtyard was alerted, and they would probably come over soon to keep an eye on this woman to prevent her from doing something stupid again.
Jiang Wang stepped over the courtyard wall and headed straight for Beicheng.
…
The woman's wet nurse lives in a low civilian house in Beicheng District.
This house is easy to find because the family situation is obviously better than those next door.
Jiang Wang pressed his sword with one hand and gently pushed the door open with his toes.
Squeak~ Yeah.
It was noon, but the room was surprisingly dark.
An old woman with white hair was doing something in front of the dressing mirror. She heard the sound and slowly turned around.
Her voice was dry and hoarse: "Mu Qing is dead?"
Mu Qing?
Jiang Wang thought of the woman in the deep courtyard.
The name is quite elegant, but the person is a bit stupid.
"You are indeed harming her." Jiang Wang said coldly.
"Uuuuuuuuuh...hahahahaha..."
The old woman was crying at first, but as she cried, she started laughing again.
The sound is harsh and heartbreaking, extremely unpleasant to hear.
"You...all deserve to die!"
She said fiercely: "I curse you. I curse you with my flesh and blood, my hair, my life, and everything I have! I am willing to walk through the hell of mountains of swords and enter the hell of sea of fire. As long as you... suffer the same fate as me
The suffering!”
Jiang Wang made a mistake and before taking action, he had already retreated out of the room and into the street.
Because he felt an evil force suddenly burst out.
Right before his eyes, the old woman was covered in a layer of black flames and instantly burned to ashes!
Not even a hair was left.
