Chapter 53 Onmyoji 234
Heian-kyo has never been a peaceful place, whether it is for people or ghosts, because this is an era where humans and ghosts coexist.
Even on the roadside in Heian-kyo, you can see people leaning against the corner of the roadside because of poverty and hunger, and they have no strength to stand up again. People die silently like this every day.On the other hand, those dignitaries in Heian capital had increasingly fierce internal conflicts.
For the sake of power or wealth, it seems that no matter which world or dynasty you are in, as long as there are people, there are some things that will never change.But no matter where they live, the people can always find a way to live a good life.
When ordinary people gather together after tea and dinner, they always talk about things they have heard recently. For example, at this time, there are three people, holding their own things, talking about the recent major events in Ping'an Jing while walking.
The tall and skinny woman pretended to be mysterious and said, "Have you heard about that master Onmyoji who came from Heianjing recently?"
The short and fat woman smiled and said, "I've heard that, that master Onmyoji who came to Ping'an capital from Datang on the other side of the sea, I heard that this master is a person with real skills. A few days ago Didn't you just get invited to the house by Lord Sugita?"
"That Mr. Sugita~" the tall and strong woman whispered, "Ms. Sugita's house was haunted some time ago. Since I invited the Onmyoji from Datang to visit, The terrifying evil spirit was subdued by Lord Onmyoji. Do you think His Majesty the Emperor will invite this Lord to join the Onmyouliao?"
The skinny woman bowed her hand: "The matter of the emperor is not something that we can discuss. But the things you know have long been out of date~ That Onmyoji from Tang Dynasty, since we solved Mr. Sugita After the haunting incident at home, I have been to many other adults’ homes recently. And some adults specially invited this Onmyoji master to their homes as a guest.”
"Oh~" the short and fat woman's eyes widened, "Really? Does that mean that this master Onmyoji is really powerful?"
The skinny woman covered her mouth and smiled, "It's not just amazing~ I heard that Lord Onmyoji is very handsome, and many princesses in the minister's family like this Lord very much, but the Lord's side Always with a white-haired maid, that maid has a pair of blue eyes."
The tall and strong woman said slightly frightened: "The blue eyes, are they evil spirits?"
The skinny woman waved her hand, "Of course not. I heard that the woman is from a foreign land outside the Tang Dynasty, and the people there look a little different from us."
"You know a lot." The short and fat woman praised in an amazed tone.
The three women chatted in low voices, and slowly walked away, and the curtain of the bullock cart parked on the side of the road they passed before was gently lifted.Wuxu, who was being discussed by these common people, was sitting in the bullock cart at this moment.
The light in the sky was very bright, Wuxu raised his eyes to look at the sky, and after a while, he lowered the curtain again.And after he lowered the curtain, the coachman raised his whip and drove the ox cart to move on.Now Wu Xu is quite famous in Ping'an capital, and today he was invited by Minister Zuo's daughter to be a guest at Minister Zuo's home.
When the ox carts walked slowly to the door of Minister Zuo's house, there were already a lot of ox carts parked in front of Minister Zuo's house, and these were all the ox carts of the people who were invited to stay outside.
Minister Zuo is different from the past because his daughter is now pregnant with a dragon son for His Majesty the Emperor, and his status in Heian capital is extremely dignified.When he invited some other ministers and special people to come, hoping to pray for His Majesty and his future grandson, no one dared to show such a face, and even many people who had not been invited also came Sent "sincerity".
When Wuxu got off the bullock cart, the servant who received the guests at the door stepped forward quickly, ready to lead the way for Wuxu.There were two ministers of internal affairs next to him, and they happened to hear the servant at the door calling Wuxu, so they stopped.He turned his head, looked Wuxu up and down, and blocked Wuxu's way with his mouth.
"Could this be His Excellency Wuxu, who has been famous in Ping'an capital recently?" Lord Zhongzheng raised his hand, covered his mouth with his sleeve, and let out a hehe laugh, "Your Excellency Wuxu really looks very handsome. "
Mr. Fujiwara, who usually goes in and out with Mr. Zhongzheng, nodded in agreement, "Indeed."
Wu Xu turned his head to look at the two adults, nodded politely, but did not say anything yet.These two adults have already looked at Wuxu back and forth.Mr. Zhongzheng said with a slightly puzzled smile, "I heard that Your Excellency Wuxu is always accompanied by a beautiful foreign woman. Why didn't I see that woman this time?"
"It's impossible that your Excellency is pretending, hehe." Master Fujiwara answered, "I just don't know where your Excellency Wuxu hid that beauty~?"
Wu Xu tilted his head slightly, with a half-smile expression on his face, looking at these two ministers who were talking to themselves, and what they said was matched with their expressions, which seemed a bit subtle.The two ministers didn't seem to see the expression on Wu Xu's face, they continued to block the doorway, laughing and gossiping, blocking all the people who were invited to come one after another at the door.
Looking at this battle, Wu Xu raised his eyebrows slightly, it seems that he did not know when he offended these two ministers, so that these two ministers were going to make him look good in front of Minister Zuo's house.
"My lords, is this my apprentice who wants to meet me?" Wuxu said calmly after seeing a man in a white hunting suit appearing among the crowd of onlookers.And when he asked this question, the two ministers who didn't know where it was going, nodded together after a moment of stunned, "Extremely." In fact, these two ministers had already used the initial excuse , left and right implied that Wuxu is just a vain name, and it is just a liar.
What's even more ridiculous is that those other ministers who were blocked outside and listened to the words of these two ministers also felt that what the two ministers of internal affairs said was quite reasonable.Some ministers who had only heard of Wuxu's name even doubted the authenticity of the things they had heard.
Wu Xu was not in a hurry to refute, but just took out a cut-out white paper man from his arms—the clothes Wu Xu wore were different from those of everyone in Ping An Jing, although they were similar, they retained more Much like the clothes of the Tang Dynasty—he held the white paper figurine in his hand, showed the adults in front of him a look, and then squeezed the paper figurine into his hands.
"If my lords want to meet my apprentice, isn't she here?" Wuxu flipped his hands, and the paper figurine disappeared, and behind the two ministers, he suddenly appeared a woman.
The woman appeared silently, right behind the two servants.But before this woman appeared, there were already many people around Wuxu and the two ministers of the interior, it was impossible for a person to squeeze in from the outside without anyone noticing.
After staring at the woman who appeared suddenly, Su Mansha showed a soft smile to the two adults, "I heard from the master that the two adults want to see the little girl. The little girl is very polite." .”
Su Mansha is very beautiful, and she also has a temperament that is different from that of the noble ladies in Heianjing, but the two ministers who couldn't understand how Su Mansha appeared at all stepped back two times when Su Mansha saluted. Step by step, the expression on his face didn't look too good, but he still smiled stiffly and said, "Be polite..." The two of them looked at each other and said, "We've been standing outside for a long time. , don’t keep Minister Zuo waiting for a long time, let’s go in quickly.”
After finishing speaking, the two adults rushed into the courtyard of Minister Zuo's house.Wuxu raised his eyes and glanced at the people around him. After meeting Wuxu's gaze, these people either showed a little panic, or were calm and polite, or nodded slightly to Wuxu with dissatisfaction in their hearts. They all walked straight into Zuo Chenchen's house with their heads down.
When these people had left, Su Mansha smiled softly, "I said before that I wanted to meet me, but now I really saw it, but it seemed like I had seen a ghost, running so fast. "
Wu Xu stroked his cuffs, and said with a smile: "Not everyone runs fast." After speaking, Wu Xu's eyes turned to the hands that were still clasped together after everyone had left. A man with a pair of smiling fox eyes stood there.
And beside this man, there was another handsome man in black, who was looking at Su Mansha with an obsessive expression.
After Su Mansha looked over, the man in black introduced himself with an obsessed and smirk, "Dear Boya, haven't you asked the girl's name yet?"
Su Mansha looked at Yuan Boya's expression, turned her face slightly, and smiled slightly.And the fox-eyed man standing beside Yuan Boya lowered his head slightly, took two steps to the side, came to Wuxu's side, and said salutingly, "I'm Ampei Qingming, I've heard of Your Excellency Wuxu's name for a long time."
"I have also admired your name for a long time, Your Excellency Ampere Seimei."
……
After Wuxu showed his skills, the servants of Zuo minister's house became more polite to Wuxu, and after he graciously introduced Wuxu into the courtyard, he left soon.
Said that he wanted to pray for His Majesty the Emperor, Minister Zuo invited quite a few people.In the corridors of the entire courtyard, Minister Zuo set up many table cases.His Excellency Yuan Boya, who showed reluctance to Su Mansha, was quickly led to sit down on the other side of the corridor. Even after sitting down, Yuan Boya still cast his gaze on Su Mansha from time to time.
It was a very pure appreciation and admiration for beauty, and it was not an annoying look.As a minister, Yuan Boya took the other side, while Wuxu and Ampere Qingming sat on the side with many onmyojis.
As soon as he sat down, Wu Xu felt many unfriendly eyes falling on him, but Wu Xu, who was already used to these eyes, behaved very calmly.
It is not the onmyoji who presides over the blessing, but the priestess in the shrine.
Before the blessing started, the ministers and princes in front of the desk chatted with each other.
Onmyoji records belong to the Emperor and are directly responsible to the Emperor, but on weekdays, if the ministers encounter any difficulties, they can also ask the Onmyoji to help solve them.It's just that, except in the yin and yang rooms of the imperial palace, it is rare for many onmyojis to appear in the same place.
And today, Minister Zuo told His Majesty the Emperor in advance, it is not a strange thing that there are so many onmyojis in Minister Zuo's home at one time.
It is not a very pleasant thing to have a large number of onmyojis sitting together.The ministers over there can still flirt with each other, all in a harmonious and harmonious scene.On the side of the master Onmyoji, it seems that the division of factions is very obvious.
Wu Xu and An Pei Qingming sat at the same table, both of them didn't like to talk very much, so they were very modern and cold.The other onmyojis would laugh and chat with each other, but they excluded Wu Xu and An Pei Qingming as if deliberately ignoring them.
Wuxu didn't feel much about these, because of his appearance, while the people in Ping'an capital were praising the rumors about him, at the same time, they would only be by His Majesty's side every day, holding the almanac and talking about good and bad, but The onmyojis who didn't see any real abilities showed a lot of doubts.
For these reasons, it seems quite normal to be excluded by these onmyojis.
Just as he was thinking, a maid appeared beside Wu Xu, lowered her head and whispered something in Wu Xu's ear.Wuxu felt that a ball of paper was stuffed in his hand, but he didn't answer the maid's words in the end.The maid bowed and left with nothing visible on her face.
After the maid left, Wuxu picked up the ball of paper that the maid had stuffed into his hands, and with both hands, the ball of paper turned into shreds and disappeared.Minister Zuo has two daughters, and the eldest daughter is now pregnant with His Majesty's dragon species. If there is no accident, this child will be the future emperor.Minister Zuo also has another daughter. Ever since she met Wuxu by chance, this noble lady has never forgotten Wuxu.
Seeing Wuxu's actions, An Peiqing put his knees on his knees, and said lazily: "Is this how His Excellency Wuxu treats the hearts of beauties?"
Wuxu turned his head and glanced at Ampere Qingming, "I heard that there are many noble ladies in Ping'an capital who are sincerely with Your Excellency An Pei, so how will Your Excellency An Pei deal with it?"
An Pei Qingming listened, raised his eyebrows slightly, and suddenly raised his eyes to look at Yuan Boya on the opposite side of the corridor, seeing that Yuan Boya who was sitting opposite was absent-mindedly talking to the minister beside him, and his eyes were still looking this way I came here just to see Su Mansha kneeling behind Wu Xu for a while.
Ampere Qingming pulled his lips, and smiled, "We are different from other people after all, and Your Excellency Wuxu probably thinks so."
Wu Xu only smiled slightly when he heard this, Su Mansha poured a glass of wine for him and An Pei Qingming respectively, Wu Xu picked up the wine cup, and took a sip carefully, "Actually, what is the difference between us and these people?"
After hearing this, An Pei Qingming was taken aback for a moment, then glanced at Wu Xu, then suddenly hooked his lips, picked up the wine cup on the table, drank the wine in it, and laughed along with Wu Xu.
Minister Zuo, who hadn't appeared all this time, finally appeared before the blessing ceremony began, and after saying something that sounded high-sounding, he sat on the main seat.
The blessing ceremony seemed to be a very boring process, but when the blessing ceremony started, all the ministers sat very quietly and watched the witch praying.
It was only in the middle of the blessing ceremony that an accident happened suddenly. A minister suddenly fell to the ground clutching his chest, which caused panic among other ministers, because the fallen minister was not an unknown person in the court. The ceremony had to be interrupted here.
That minister was arranged by Minister Zuo in the guest room, the doctor who invited him could do nothing, Minister Zuo looked extremely anxious.If something unexpected happened during the blessing ceremony, his nemesis, the right minister, told His Majesty, and let His Majesty know that the blessing ceremony was not successfully completed, which would be very detrimental to the left minister.
Minister Zuo, who really couldn't think of a way out, came to Wuxu and An Peiqingming, and said anxiously: "Master Kawakami is not able to comfort me now, I wonder if the two of you can help a group of Master Kawakami?"
Anpei Qingming is not popular with other onmyojis. The reason is that Apei Qingming is different. When it comes to the ability of onmyojis, no one can compare with Apei Qingming.Also because of An Pei Qingming's abilities, it was rumored that An Pei Qingming was the son of the white fox.
But even so, everyone has already accepted the existence of Ampere Seimei.Compared with An Pei Qingming, Wu Xu simply came out of nowhere.And although many people have heard of Wuxu's reputation, but not many people have actually seen it here. In addition, Wuxu came from the Tang Dynasty, including the common people. , it is natural to feel that it is more powerful.
Because of the appearance of Wuxu, many onmyojis from Yinyangliao were compared with Wuxu. In the end, the status of the onmyojis in Yinyangliao became lower and lower in the hearts of the people. This did not make people feel happy, but was angry .
Now looking at the sudden accident, there are obviously so many onmyojis here, but Minister Zuo directly asked Ampere Qingming and the onmyoji from Tang Dynasty for help. The other onmyojis were naturally unhappy.
Among the unhappy onmyojis, there was one with a mustache, and before Wu Xu could speak, he rushed to say, "Why do you need help from outsiders?" He squinted at Wu Xu, "We have so many people from here. The onmyojis of Yinyangliao, of course, such a problem can be solved." The mustache onmyoji glanced at his colleagues present, although in the end he wanted to say that even if they couldn't solve it, there was still Apei Qingming, the son of the white fox.
But thinking of the limelight that Apei Seimei stole in front of His Majesty the Emperor in the past, the mustache onmyoji finally didn't speak, but said confidently: "Please don't worry if you are an adult, I will wait and see, that adult should not If you are sick, leave it to us, and the problem will be solved soon, as long as you trust us."
Minister Zuo looked at the onmyoji who ran over to ask for his order. He really didn't want to say that in the entire Onmyoji, except for Ampere Qingming who seemed to have some real skills, the other onmyoji, whether they were normal or in private, no matter what angle they looked at. , It doesn't seem to have any real skills.
But these onmyojis also said that they can solve this problem, so it should be possible, right?
Seeing the hesitation on Minister Zuo's face, the faces of the other onmyojis who were invited by Minister Zuo naturally looked bad.In the end, it was the young bearded onmyoji who took the lead and said, "If your lord is not at ease and we can't solve it, then let Wuxu, who is said to be very capable, and Anpei Qingming from Yinyangliao to solve it, isn't it okay? ?”
Perhaps this sentence finally played a soothing effect on Minister Zuo, and Minister Zuo hurriedly asked his servants to bring all such a group of Onmyojis to the guest room of the adult who had suddenly collapsed before.
The mustache onmyoji and several other colleagues felt resentful, feeling that they were underestimated by Minister Zuo. Although they were very unhappy, they thought that if this matter could be resolved this time.These people can not only show their faces in front of His Majesty the Emperor, but also wash away their incompetent image in the hearts of the common people and these ignorant ministers. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?
Moreover, the reason why the mustache onmyoji said that in front of Minister Zuo was not completely unsure. He had watched the minister fall from a distance before, and he also had some concerns in his heart.During the period when the minister was sent to the guest room by Minister Zuo and invited a doctor, the onmyoji with the mustache and his colleagues also discussed it, and everyone's opinions were very unified, so the onmyoji with the mustache returned With his colleagues, they all have eight or nine percent confidence in their hearts.
After Minister Zuo asked his servants to invite all these onmyojis to the guest room where the minister was lying, saw the minister, and gave the minister a little inspection.These onmyojis are basically sure about what happened to this minister.
"This is a kind of curse." After such a group of onmyoji discussed together, the onmyoji with the mustache still spoke.
After hearing the conclusion drawn by the mustache onmyoji, Minister Zuo had a surprised expression on his face, "Curse? What kind of curse is this? Is it done by evil spirits? Or is it something else?"
The mustache onmyoji glanced lightly at An Pei Qingming and Wu Xu, who stood aside and hadn't appeared, with a look of victory in his eyes. He had a bottom line in his heart and thought he could solve it. Wuxu, an outsider, and Anpei Qingming, an onmyoji who always disobeyed the rules of the Onmyoji, were needed. Thinking of these, the mustache onmyoji naturally felt at ease.
Hearing Minister Zuo's question, the mustache onmyoji said: "Curse is a kind of thought, a carrier formed by a certain strong desire. They cannot directly act on people, but must enter people through certain channels. body. Or there is a more powerful curse, but that curse is not of the same type as the curse here."
Minister Zuo looked at the minister who was lying on the bed and fell into a coma, but the expression on his face still looked very uncomfortable, and hurriedly asked: "Then what kind of curse is the curse here? And is this curse because of evil? Is it a ghost or someone...?"
At this point, Minister Zuo closed his mouth, but everyone present understood what he wanted to say, but after all, there are some things that ordinary people still have some taboos, and they dare not speak out.
The mustache onmyoji didn't directly answer Minister Zuo's questions. Sometimes it's not that there are some questions that cannot be said, but even if they are said, people who don't understand these things still don't understand.Of course, sometimes, many things cannot be said or said completely. If there is no sense of mystery at all, a profession like Onmyoji will no longer have the feeling of being tall in the eyes of ordinary people.
No one from the group of onmyojis with the mustache spoke any more, and Wu Xu and An Pei Qingming just stood aside, occasionally saying a word or two to each other that was incomprehensible.
The little bearded onmyoji over there doesn't care what Wuxu and An Pei Qingming are doing now, because in the eyes of the little bearded onmyoji, they are now under control, and no matter what those two people do, they will become his "subordinates." The "loser" thing has become a fact.
The mustache onmyoji was in a good mood, and he and several other onmyoji asked for some special incense and other things from Minister Zuo.Then he didn't drive out all the people in the room, but let everyone stand a little farther away, and then everyone looked at the mustache onmyoji and others, holding the incense and doing strange movements, lying around on the bed The minister walked back and forth, muttering words.
Because knowledge is read too fast, other people cannot fully hear it clearly.
Although it was impossible to hear what the mustache onmyoji and the others were reading, the reaction of the minister lying on the bed could still be seen.
Kneeling and sitting not far away, Minister Zuo and others saw the Minister lying on a couch made out of tatami, with his exposed skin—face and injuries—behind, there seemed to be something strange, like liquid and as if The snake-like thing kept moving around, and the feeling of that thing walking under the skin was particularly terrifying. Minister Zuo and the others showed terrified expressions on their faces, and did not dare to approach it a little bit, while the onmyoji with the mustache and others saw it After reading something, they exchanged a knowing smile.
Everything is as they expected.
And the next thing they have to do is to guide the snake under the skin of the comatose minister out of his body, and finally grab it, that's all.
It's just that the previous things went very smoothly. After the mustache onmyoji and others cut a cut on the minister's wrist, the thing that was originally guided to go out suddenly jumped back.The lying minister's eyes suddenly opened, his face was ferocious, and many black auras appeared around them, continuously burrowing into the minister's body from the cut wrist.
An extremely terrifying and uncomfortable feeling surrounded the onmyojis by the bed. The cold wind blew into the room from nowhere, and the whole room was shrouded in a terrible atmosphere.Everyone, including Minister Zuo, changed from kneeling to lying on the ground in fear.
Minister Zuo was lying on the ground, still yelling in horror at the mustache onmyoji standing beside the bed in the middle of the room: "What happened?"
The mustache onmyoji and the others probably wanted to say something, but they were surrounded by that terrible and cold feeling, and they couldn't say anything at all.
The scene at the scene was too chaotic, and other ordinary people couldn't see what the room looked like now, but Wu Xu and An Pei Qingming could see it clearly.At this time, the room was already wrapped in thick and cold black smoke.
Even an onmyoji with a mustache can see what happened to the comatose minister, and Ampere Seimei is naturally able to do so.It's just that Ampere Qingming can tell that these onmyojis just want to show off and improve their image in the eyes of others. Ampere Qingming, who has no interest in these, will naturally not deliberately rush to the top.
Others can solve the problem without doing it themselves, which is of course the best.
But even Ampere Seimei never imagined that what should be a very simple curse would develop to such an extent that it is no longer an ordinary curse.
The matter suddenly became serious. Ampere Qingming's relaxed face, as if he always had a pair of fox eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, followed the sudden change in the room, and he also became serious.
But just when An Pei Qingming was holding his folding fan and wanted to do something, his wrist was suddenly grabbed by Wu Xu who was sitting beside him.An Pei Qingming turned his head, seeing Wu Xu still had the same leisurely expression on his face, a slight surprise flashed in his eyes.
An Pei Qingming believes that His Excellency Wuxu should also understand the critical situation, but this His Excellency Wuxu seems to have other ideas.
Seeing Wu Xu like this, An Pei Qingming's tense body also relaxed, could it be...
"Could it be that you saw from the very beginning that this curse is not exactly what it appears?" These words swirled on the tip of Ampere Qingming's tongue, but in the end he didn't utter it, but Ampere Qingming fiddled with his folding fan , looking at Wu Xu quietly with a pair of fox eyes.
After stopping Ampere Qingming's actions, Wu Xu just smiled lightly, and he didn't see any big moves from him, but he said suddenly: "This is indeed a curse, but it's just a double-layered curse. It seems that the The person who cast the curse is very attached to this lord."
The mustache onmyoji and the others who swear that they are very sure about this matter are completely immobile, and of course Minister Zuo and the others can see that.Then, when Wuxu spoke, Minister Zuo's originally panicked mood suddenly calmed down a lot, but he still asked nervously: "Your Excellency Wuxu, what's going on? Please help Your Excellency Wuxu." I!"
Perhaps, Wu Xu was waiting for such a moment.
All the people in the room were staggered to and fro by the evil wind that suddenly blew in the room, either they couldn't move, or they didn't dare to move.But Wuxu didn't seem to be affected by anything, and stood up from the ground.And calmly walked towards the minister lying in the middle of the house.
Ampere Qingming, who was sitting in the same place, narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes moved with Wu Xu's movement. Others couldn't see him, but he could see clearly.
In the thick black smoke that filled the entire room, there were all crying grimaces.And these grimaces kept trying to attack Wuxu when Wuxu kept approaching the minister lying in the middle of the room, but this onmyoji from the Tang Dynasty was really powerful, and I didn't see what he did. What, those grimaces all dissipated completely when they approached him.
When Wuxu walked up to the minister, most of the cold feeling in the room and the thick black smoke had dissipated, then Wuxu raised his hand and brushed lightly on the minister's chest...
The room returned to normal in a blink of an eye, and those cold and terrifying feelings completely disappeared.Right beside Wu Xu, those bearded onmyojis and others who seemed to be frozen just now and couldn't make a sound at all, were all lying on the ground panting, their heads covered in cold sweat.While panting, they stared at the things Wuxu held in their hands with an indescribably terrified and disgusted gaze.
And Wu Xu turned his eyes slightly, looked at them, "This is the body of the curse..."
Minister Zuo and others tremblingly got up from the ground, leaned forward and looked at Wu Xu's hand, it was a particularly deformed thing like an eel.
The skin and patterns on this eel's body are particularly terrifying, perhaps only "from hell" can be used to describe it.And the body of this eel grew a relatively smaller body in the middle half, and the two bodies were intertwined, making it even more disgusting.
Minister Zuo shook his hand, pointed at the ball in Wuxu's hand, and asked after a long time, "Is this the one? Is this the curse you mentioned?"
"Indeed." Wuxu looked at the minister lying on the ground, the expression of pain was gone at this time, but because of this curse, he had consumed a lot, and he had completely fallen asleep at this time, "The curse is An idea, but this idea can be specific to a certain thing or animal, or even food."
"I don't want to use such a terrible thing as food." The left minister waved his hands again and again, while Su Mansha, who had been sitting quietly by the side, smiled softly, "My lord, the master didn't mean to say this curse." "" She looked at the thing dragged in Wuxu's hand, "it's food, but the adult who was cursed should have eaten the food polluted by the curse, so the curse entered the adult in the body."
Minister Zuo listened and nodded, "I see."
