Chapter 4418 Chapter 4420 [The Curse of Quetzalcoatl]
The snake **** in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" cannot be looked directly at, cannot be spied on, cannot be resisted, is extremely powerful, and extremely mysterious. He has many properties such as "transformation of realms", "immortality", "imaginary space", and "predicting the future". Incredible abilities.
The Zagrama tribe just wanted to peek into the ghost cave where the snake **** lived, but they were infected with a powerful curse and their lives would be worse than death.
Although Xiang Nan had been to the world of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", he did not dare to provoke the snake god. He just completed the sacrifice, sealed the imaginary space, and rescued the tribe.
He was originally worried that Quetzalcoatl would be as terrifying as the snake god, so he conducted divination many times beforehand, fearing that he might accidentally fall into Quetzalcoatl's path.
But it turned out that he was overthinking it. Quetzalcoatl was obviously much weaker than he thought, and was not so terrifying, so powerful, or so incomprehensible.
"It's no wonder. The majestic God of the Ocean, Corybusso, was able to be sealed by the nine pirate kings, proving that the gods in the world of "Pirates of the Caribbean" are not invincible." Xiang Nan couldn't help but think, "I don't know if I have No possibility, replace it!”
But as soon as the idea came up, he cut it off immediately. Now he doesn't know enough about Quetzalcoatl to be so presumptuous.
"The great Quetzalcoatl, Kukulkan, will curse anyone who treacherously takes gold coins from the sarcophagus. Anyone who takes gold coins from the sarcophagus will suffer endless pain and torture. This sin can only be punished with his blood. , to be able to repay!”
A consciousness passed into Xiang Nan's mind, and then he lost his sense of the Quetzalcoatl God Kukulkan.
Xiang Nan then felt very hungry and thirsty, as if he had been hungry for centuries. He could swallow a cow in front of him and drink up a river.
He quickly picked up a plate of snacks and a bottle of wine and ate it wildly, but instead of relieving his hunger and thirst, he became more intense.
Xiang Nan finally understands how those hungry ghosts in **** feel. There is food but no satiety, and there is wine but no thirst. They can only watch helplessly, living in pain all the time.
"This kind of curse is really powerful." Xiang Nan couldn't help but admire.
Quetzalcoatl's curse magnifies people's greed, but makes people never satisfied. For greedy people, it can be said to be the greatest punishment.
…
Later, Xiang Nan began to study this curse of Quetzalcoatl.
Although he is not a god, he has a considerable understanding of witchcraft and magic.
The Curse of Quetzalcoatl is a type of black magic, and it is not even the most powerful black magic.
The reason why it can grant people immortality is because its curse puts people on the edge of life and death. The cursed person neither belongs to the living nor the dead, which is equivalent to a BUG in the world of "Pirates of the Caribbean".
There is another shore in the world of "Pirates of the Caribbean", and the real dead will be extradited to the other shore. Davy Jones's Flying Dutchman helped the sea **** Corybuso transport the dead to the other side.
In order for him to complete this task conscientiously, Cory Busso promised to meet him once every ten years. But ten years later, when Davy Jones went to the appointment with great expectations, he found that the sea **** Cory Busso had missed the appointment.
Therefore, Davy Jones, in anger, gave up his duty and stopped extraditing the souls to the other side, causing those souls to have no fixed location. Davy Jones was cursed and transformed from a handsome sailor into an octopus head.
That's why he can survive, but as a price, he also has to endure the torture of greed.
But to Xiang Nan, this torture is nothing. After all, in the world of "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" and "Myth", in order to hone his will, he made himself drink the potion of despair and be cursed with pain every day. Compared with these, mere greed is gentle enough.
The next topic Xiang Nan wants to study is the principle of Quetzalcoatl's Curse, and how to strip away the negative benefits and only enjoy the positive benefits. That is to say, just enjoy eternal life and not be tortured by greed.
Although this subject was a bit out of scope for him, it was not completely clueless.
…
In the next period of time, in addition to studying the curse of Quetzalcoatl, Xiang Nan bought a house in Tetuga Port and opened a shop.
This store sells nothing and does not provide any services. It is only used to recruit people and buy goods.
We are not recruiting ordinary people, but people with special talents, such as wizards, witches, and alchemists. The goods purchased are not ordinary commodities, but magical, cursed, and extraordinary items.
In the world of "Pirates of the Caribbean", there are many strange people. There are many people who are proficient in black magic and voodoo.
For example, Edward Teach the Blackbeard, Davy Jones, the ocean lord, Gentleman Jockade, the pirate king of the Atlantic in "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", Teague Sparrow, Jack Sparrow's father, and Teague Sparrow in "Pirates of the Caribbean 5" The witch Sasha appears in and more.
These are just the ones that appear in movies, there are even more strange people and strange people that appear in official novels and comics.
There are also many magical and extraordinary items in the world of "Pirates of the Caribbean".
In addition to the Aztec gold coins, the compass that cannot guide, the Fountain of Youth, the Mao Kun Tu, the sword of Triton that can control ships, the Trident of Poseidon, etc. that appear in the movie.
There are even more treasures appearing in official novels and comics.
For example, the Heart of Zezula in "The Price of Freedom" is an artifact of an island tribe in Africa. It has powerful magic power and can shroud the entire island in fog, making it impossible for others to find its traces.
Xiao Feng, the pirate king of Nanyang, owns two treasures: ocean opal and dragon tiles. Ocean opals can bring power and wealth to people, and the collection of dragon tiles can give people the ability to control the sea.
In "Legend of the Pirate Convention", the former pirate king Henry Morgan also refined "Shadow Gold", which not only gives people powerful abilities, but also allows people to summon shadow legions to conquer cities and territories, making them unstoppable.
Therefore, Xiang Nan hopes to recruit a group of strange people and collect a group of rare treasures for his own research. It doesn't matter even if you just provide clues, Xiang Nan can find it himself.
…
Xiang Nan hired a shrewd manager to look after the store, and an old gentleman who was literate to take notes.
This manager is a broker and is responsible for brokering the transactions between the two parties and receiving a commission from it. In ancient China, this line of work was called "Yaxing".
The so-called gangsters in car and boat shops deserve to be killed even if they are not guilty. There are no honest people who can do this.
The old gentleman also opened a shop before, but unfortunately it went bankrupt and closed down. Now he has no food and clothing.
Xiang Nan knew that he could read and write, so he kept him as a clerk.
