Chapter 100 The Origin of the Curse
"You, what are you—" Ye Leng'an's eyes widened, and the shocked expression on his face was clearly visible.
At the beginning, she didn't expect that she would capsize in the gutter. Originally, she didn't pay attention to those people, but who knew that there was still a mechanism on that sacrificial altar. Before she could even react, she fell down.
However, although she was a little surprised by this sudden change, she quickly reacted and didn't panic too much.
But after falling to the ground and seeing the person standing opposite her, she couldn't hide the shock in her heart. Because, the person standing in front of her was none other than Huangfu Ruiling.
All along, she had seen Huangfu Ruiling sitting in a wheelchair. Now that she suddenly saw him standing in front of her, one can imagine the shock she received. Moreover, as a doctor herself, she couldn't see at all that Huangfu Ruiling's legs were fine.
"Since you can stand up, why have you been sitting in a wheelchair?" Ye Leng'an still couldn't help it, and directly asked the doubts in his heart, "Is there anything wrong with your legs?"
Compared to Ye Leng'an's agitation, Huangfu Ruiling was extraordinarily calm, "I never said that my legs are faulty, and I just use a wheelchair for the convenience of some things."
After hearing Huangfu Ruiling's words, Ye Leng'an also digested the matter silently, and didn't ask too much. Because she knew very well that if Huangfu Ruiling really wanted to say something, then he would say it directly, and he would not play tricks here. Now since people don't want to talk about it, she naturally won't ask. After all, she always felt that the relationship between the two of them was not that good. but-
"Why did you come down?" Ye Leng'an asked curiously, "Also, when did you come here?"
She has never discovered Huangfu Ruiling's existence. If Huangfu Ruiling appeared by himself, she might not be able to find out. Since her rebirth, she has never relaxed for a moment, just to make herself stronger. She has always felt that in this world, she can be regarded as the existence of the strong.
However, the existence of Huangfu Ruiling made her realize the fact that there are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond the sky. Huangfu Ruiling was stronger than her, and she had to admit that. However, this will not hurt her, but will make her more motivated.
However, looking at Huangfu Ruiling standing here, Ye Leng'an couldn't help but sigh, it's really Mo Shangren Ruyu, the son is unparalleled in the world!
Huangfu Ruiling, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was already a magnificent existence. Now that he stood up, coupled with the white clothes, he took away his domineering arrogance that he usually pointed out, and became more gentle and jade-like.
Huangfu Ruiling did not answer Ye Leng'an's question, but looked around and said, "Let's take a look first, where are we?"
Ye Leng'an didn't continue to ask, but started to look around.
At this moment, they seem to be in a tunnel surrounded by stone walls, and they cannot see where the exit is.
Without any hesitation, the two started to walk along the road.
Within a few steps, Ye Leng'an seemed to kick something. Because there was darkness in the tunnel, she summoned her natal flame without any hesitation, regardless of whether Huangfu Ruiling was by her side or not. Because she felt that Huangfu Ruiling might have seen everything when he was in the dark just now, so naturally he also saw her natal flame. Now that it's all known, there's nothing to hide.
And the fact was just as she had guessed, after seeing her natal flame, Huangfu Ruiling didn't even twitch his brows, and he didn't show any surprise at all, as if he saw a very ordinary thing.
As soon as the flame came out, the entire tunnel was instantly illuminated. At this time, Ye Leng'an also saw clearly what he kicked down just now, it turned out to be a pile of bones.
After seeing clearly the dense pile of bones on the ground, even a calm person like Ye Leng'an couldn't help but gasp. Because at the moment where they are standing, there are many skeletons. Roughly speaking, there must be at least twenty people.
No need to ask, she already guessed what was going on. Obviously, these bones should be the sacrifices that were once chosen. After becoming sacrifices and radiating all the blood, they immediately turned on the mechanism, allowing the corpses to slide directly into the tunnel.
Ye Leng'an squatted down, and after inspecting the bones, he couldn't help but say, "The people in this village are indeed inferior to animals. These bones are all young girls."
She is a doctor, so she can naturally tell who these people are from these bones. Before, I knew that these people wanted to choose sacrifices, and they wanted pure girls. It's just that I didn't expect so many innocent girls to die here. Moreover, even after they died, they couldn't rest in the ground, but were randomly discarded in this tunnel.
"The people here have been trapped for too long, and they have already lost their conscience as a person." Huangfu Ruiling frowned, "I don't know where they got the method to break the curse, but they used so many girls as sacrifices."
"It's a pity that they are still trapped here for generations." Ye Leng'an sneered and said, "They deserve this. After committing so many murders, it is simply wishful thinking to want to leave here."
Although she didn't know what the so-called curse of this village was, why the people here couldn't leave for generations. However, just looking at how many innocent people they killed, it is clear that these people deserve to be trapped here. Moreover, she didn't believe that using a pure girl as a sacrifice could break the curse. If this is the case, then the person who cast the curse at the beginning is not a good person.
"There are so many skeletons here, how did they come here?" Huangfu Ruiling frowned, "If it is true that they entered here by mistake, it is impossible for there to be so many people!"
"They will always find a way." Ye Leng'an had a trace of sarcasm on his cold face, "I think they are not thinking about leaving, but thinking about how to bring people in!"
"Let's keep going!" Huangfu Ruiling shook his head and said, "After we get out, let people come in and deal with the bones here! It's time for these people to be buried in peace."
The two continued to walk forward, and the flame was like a lamp, just following in front of them.
"Look—" Ye Leng'an suddenly noticed something, she pointed to the wall, and said, "Huangfu Ruiling, take a look, is this a mural on the wall?"
Hearing Ye Leng'an's exclamation, Huangfu Ruiling took a closer look, "It seems that it is indeed a mural. Moreover, the murals here seem to be paintings of the past in the village."
Hearing Huangfu Ruiling's speculation, Ye Leng'an also began to look carefully, "It seems to be true, it is indeed the secret of this village. Unexpectedly, it turns out that the people in this village are really unable to get out for generations. And the reason for this is actually because of a curse!"
She has only heard of such things as curses, but has never encountered them at all. She never thought that they actually existed. When she heard that everyone in this village was cursed, she was a little dubious.
However, after seeing the mural, she finally knew what was going on. At the same time, I have to sigh again, I deserve it.
"No wonder the people here are so mad! It turns out that they are rotten from the root," Ye Leng'an said with a sarcastic smile, "Their ancestors did such a crime, which brought disaster to their descendants. And their descendants, in order to break the curse, continue to commit murder. This is really a vicious circle!"
Three hundred years ago, this village was just an ordinary village in southern Xinjiang. However, there is one more special thing, that is, the people in this village are all good at refining Gu. However, they only know how to refine some relatively simple Gu worms, so don't even think about making small troubles, such as Gu kings.
The days went on like this, until an ambitious patriarch appeared in their village. The patriarch's name was Duobenli. After he became the patriarch, he always wanted to surpass other villages and become the strongest village in southern Xinjiang.
It's just that it's one thing to have ambition, but another thing to realize it. Although Duobenli is very ambitious, if he wants to strengthen the village, he must have a more powerful Gu technique.
At that time, people in southern Xinjiang focused on Gu skills. Only by refining the Gu King, will there be a chance to defeat people from other villages. But, let alone the Gu king, they couldn't even refine the stronger Gu.
After all, the technique of refining Gu is not born with it, but passed down from generation to generation. There is no one in their village who can refine Gu King.
Although the reality is cruel, Duobenli did not give up. The turning point happened when he was twenty-five years old.
You know, the Golden Gu King can almost be said to be a god-like existence that Gu insects believe in. This Suyin has the Golden Gu King in her hands, so she is almost invincible in the entire southern border.
Dubenli fell in love with Su Yin the first time he saw her, not only because of her beauty, but also because of her lively, cheerful, strong and independent personality, which all attracted him. Of course, the most important thing was because of the opponent's strength, which made him even more excited.
Duobenli is handsome, he can almost be said to be the most handsome man in southern Xinjiang. Under his intentional pursuit, Su Yin soon agreed to marry him.
The combination of handsome men and beautiful women, coupled with the grand wedding, at that time, it could almost be regarded as a grand event in southern Xinjiang. The patriarchs of other villages all came to congratulate, of course, some of them were not convinced. After all, there are many people who like Suyin. But due to Su Yin's strength, no one dared to make trouble.
After marriage, Suyin began to concentrate on assisting Duobenli, and began the pace of unifying southern Xinjiang.
In order to enhance the strength of the village, Suyin didn't hide anything, and dedicated all of her life's learning to the people in the village. Soon, the Gu refining skills of the people in the village became more and more powerful.
Later, under the leadership of Duobenli and Suyin, the village annexed many other villages and became stronger.
In just over ten years, Duobenli almost ruled almost half of southern Xinjiang.
If this continues, Duobenli will unify the entire southern Xinjiang, and it is almost within reach. It's a pity that no matter how beautiful an oath is, it cannot escape the changes of time. After trying the taste of power, Duobenli began to drift.
No matter how beautiful the face is, after more than ten years, I am tired of it. In addition, for these years, in order to help Duobenli, Su Yin has been feeding the Golden Gu King with her own blood, which is also accelerating her aging. Moreover, due to long-term excessive blood loss, her body was also severely damaged, and she was unable to give birth.
At this moment, a person appeared, a lovely and pitiful girl—Rianyi.
Different from Suyin's strength, Lianyi is a girl who looks very weak. If it is said that Su Yin can stand alone as a towering tree between heaven and earth, then this ripple is just a dodder flower that can grow attached to the tree. She is weak and beautiful, and people will have a protective desire when they see her.
Dubenli was naturally attracted by such a woman. At this moment, he has already forgotten the vows he made at the beginning, and he also forgot Suyin's help to him over the years. He eagerly wanted to take Lianyi as his concubine.
That's right, although he likes Lianyi, he also knows that it is impossible for Lianyi to be his wife. Firstly, Lianyi's weakness made her doomed that she could only cling to him, but could not be the hostess' burden. Secondly, Su Yin did not make any mistakes after all, so he cannot just divorce his wife casually.
Dubenli thinks everything is very good, and also thinks that with Suyin's generosity, he will definitely agree. However, unexpectedly, when he asked to take a concubine, Qu was rejected by Su Yin. She even said that if this was the case, then she would ask herself to come down and leave here.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Duobenli knew very well in his heart that Suyin contributed a lot to the reason why the village became strong and was able to annex half of southern Xinjiang. It can even be said that if he loses Su Yin and the Golden Gu King, then everything he has worked hard for so many years will probably disappear immediately.
Later, Duobenli didn't mention the matter of taking concubines anymore, but he didn't stop the secret communication with Lianyi.
Lianyi was already dissatisfied with being only a concubine, but now Suyin doesn't even let her in, making her only an outcast. The hatred in her heart can be imagined. Of course, what she resented was not Duobenli, but Su Yin.
In her opinion, it was because of Su Yin's arrogance and unreasonableness that she became an invisible existence. Therefore, whenever she had a chance, she whispered bad things about Suyin in Duobenli's ear.
The power of the pillow wind is still very strong, and Duobenli's dissatisfaction with Suyin has accumulated more and more over time. He even felt that Su Yin was relying on the existence of the Golden Gu King, that's why he kept pressing on his head like this.
Finally, Duoben made his move. Non-toxic and not a husband, he not only wants to get the Golden Gu King, but also kills Element Yin. Because he knew his wife very well, and he also knew that if he didn't cut the grass and roots, Su Yin would never let him go.
So, Duobenli took advantage of Su Yin's trust in him and directly poisoned Su Yin's food.
Actually, when Duobenli proposed to take a concubine, Suyin had already taken precautions. She knew very well that what Duobenli was afraid of was the Golden Gu King in her hands, so she would definitely try to trick the Golden Gu King away. She has been on guard all the time, but she didn't expect that Duobenli's heart is too cruel, not only wanting the Golden Gu King, but also her life.
After discovering that she was poisoned, Suyin didn't struggle too much, and didn't even yell, but quietly looked at Duobenli. There was an inexplicable meaning in that look, but it was so weird and creepy.
Looking at Su Yin's eyes, Dabenli couldn't help but feel hairy, but he still stood there firmly. When he looked at Su Yin, there was a trace of cruelty in his eyes, "Don't blame me, blame yourself. You are only a woman, but you have to be so powerful. Everyone said that I am able to achieve what I am today. It is all thanks to you. As long as you exist, others will not be able to see my efforts. So, go to hell! Only you die, those Only people will know that even without you, I can unify southern Xinjiang."
When it came to the end, Duobenli's eyes were already turning red, as if he was venting his inner dissatisfaction.
Over the years, as Zhaizi became stronger, his heart has already changed. He can't accept that he has been oppressed by a woman all the time, and he doesn't want to listen to those people outside discussing that his achievements today are all due to women. He had already developed strong dissatisfaction with Su Yin, and the appearance of Ripple was just a fuse.
"Hahahaha—" Su Yin smiled instead of anger, until she burst into tears, "I didn't expect that I, Su Yin, was smart all my life, and finally fell on a love word. Sure enough, such a thing as love is really not worth it! Duo Benli, without me, do you think you can really continue to rule this half of southern Xinjiang?"
When Su Yin looked at Duobenli, his eyes were full of disdain. She thought, how could she be blind to fall in love with such a white-eyed wolf! Nothing but a skin.
"I will unify the entire southern border and become the sole ruler and king of southern border."
Seeing Su Yin's contemptuous eyes, Duo Benli couldn't control the bloodthirsty in his heart. He stretched out his hand, pinched Su Yin's chin firmly, and said through gritted teeth, "It's a pity that you won't see such a grand occasion."
Suyin’s mouth kept overflowing with blood, and her consciousness began to blur. Finally, she took a deep breath and said forcefully, "Dubenli, in the name of the descendants of the Wu clan, I curse you and your entire village. You will be trapped in this cubic place for generations. From today onwards, all people in the village who have reached the age of 20 will die suddenly as long as they leave the village within a radius of 100 meters."
Then, under Duobenli's horrified eyes, Suyin died.
After Suyin passed away, the people in the whole village could only paint the ground as a prison, trapped here for generations. Of course, there are also people who don't believe in evil and want to leave. However, none of them died suddenly after that.
However, people in the village can still leave, but they must return before their twentieth birthday. Otherwise, the twentieth birthday would be the day of death.
After reading all the murals, Ye Leng'an smiled lightly and shook his head, "I didn't expect that there would be such a **** story! However, I think this Su Yin is already kind, and he actually allowed these people to leave the village before they were twenty years old. If it were me, I would let them be trapped in this village from birth."
This can also explain why there are so many modern technological things in this stockade. Come to think of it, those people should have brought them back when they went out before they turned twenty. It's just that because the village doesn't have any signal, it doesn't have any means of communication.
"Then you are wrong." After listening to Ye Leng'an's words, Huangfu Ruiling shook his head, "For these people to be forced to come back here after seeing the bustling outside is a crueler punishment, isn't it?"
If one is trapped in this place from birth, then although yearning for the outside world, it is limited. However, after having seen the outside world, it would be the most cruel to have to return to this isolated place to die at a young age.
After seeing so much prosperity, they are forced to return to simplicity before they have time to enjoy it. Few people can accept such a gap. But these people have to accept it, because if they don't accept it, the price is losing their lives.
Ye Leng'an immediately understood, and she nodded, "You're right, it seems that it's really murderous! Although Su Yin didn't kill them, it made them feel worse than death. No wonder these people tried their best to break the curse."
However, extenuating circumstances does not mean that these people can kill innocent people indiscriminately. Moreover, after all, the people in this village are not innocent. Because they're stuck here, it's the fault of their ancestors. But now, killing so many young girls is their fault.
Huangfu Ruiling continued to look at the murals, "There is no way to break the curse here, so where did these people get the idea that using sacrifices to perform sacrifices can break the curse?"
