Chapter 330 Curse
After a while, Yang Chang woke up again.
"Sanlang is awake!"
"Sir, what's wrong with you? Don't scare us."
"Yeah, how can you be drunk like this?"
"Should we call An Daoquan?"
Everyone was talking at once, all showing signs of uneasiness.
Seeing this, Yang Chang got up, gently touched Hu Sanniang's shoulder, and said, "I have been busy recently. I drank two cups of wine and suddenly felt sleepy. I will go back to my room to rest. You will host the New Year's Eve banquet for me. I am leaving."
"Huh? Oh"
Hu Sanniang was startled at first when she heard this, and immediately waved her hand to signal Qiu Qiongying, "Third sister, quickly send the master off."
"Eh."
"Need not."
Qiu Qiongying followed him out of the hall and saw a shadow under the light, quickly emerging in the darkness.
He hurried forward to catch up, but how could he catch up?
The New Year's Eve banquet was originally going to be lively, but it became dull because of Yang Chang's accident. Everyone had something to say in their hearts until they saw Qiu Qiongying return in disgrace.
"Third sister, why so fast?"
"Hi."
In response to Hu Sanniang's question, Qiu Qiongying raised her hand and replied with a hint of complaint: "What else do you want to send? The master used his Qinggong to leave, and I couldn't even catch up with his back. He didn't look sleepy at all."
"Oh, then please take your seat."
When everyone in the hall heard that Yang Chang had left with Qing Kung Fu, they instantly felt relieved, thinking that he had fainted due to fatigue. However, without the backbone present, the New Year's Eve banquet that night was much less lively.
The Dantian at the sixth level of Qi Refining is as vast as a lake, and the true Qi inside can be converted into energy, which is almost endless.
However, within a few minutes, Yang Chang fainted twice for unknown reasons.
But he had no idea why he fainted, as his body showed no signs of illness.
The fear of the unknown is the most terrifying.
In order not to worry his relatives, Yang Chang made an excuse to leave first, but in fact he was not tired at all.
Return to the couch and sit cross-legged.
Yang Chang was in the darkness, staring at his hands in a daze, thinking to himself, my abilities are not lost, and my body is getting stronger, so what went wrong?
At that moment, he suddenly felt a little panicked. He was really afraid that it was a dream and he would leave when he woke up.
As he was thinking, Yang Chang fainted for the third time, but this time no one saw it and he stayed awake for a longer time.
It's definitely a problem. How come it's like some terminal illness, starting to relapse intermittently?
When Hu Sanniang entered the Qi Refining Realm, the hidden disease on her arm was cured. But I am a powerful man at the sixth level of Qi Refining, how could I still be diagnosed with a strange disease?
Yang Changbu couldn't sleep at this time.
He just sat on the couch, thinking frantically about what happened in the internal friction, but who can understand things beyond his own cognition? This kind of thinking will only make him suffer.
After a while, Hu Sanniang returned to her room to light the lamp after the banquet. Suddenly, she saw Yang Chang sitting at the head of the bed and exclaimed, "Sir, aren't you tired? What are you doing?"
"I'm just resting, why are you back so early?"
"It's not lively without the master here, and there's nothing much to say. Let's go back to our rooms after dinner. My second sister-in-law is still pregnant, so it's not convenient for her to stay up too long."
"That's true." Yang Chang nodded slightly.
Hu Sanniang came to the bed and undressed the man while asking with concern, "Are you okay, sir? Do you want to soak your feet in hot water? You will sleep well at night after soaking."
"No need, just sleep like this."
Yang Chang rejected it immediately. Hu Sanniang usually washed and bit her at the same time, and then they both sweated on the couch together. They would naturally fall into a deep sleep when they were tired.
This guy was fearless originally, but he fainted three times tonight for unknown reasons. He was really afraid of a "power outage" while he was doing his work.
It’s just like when you are playing a game and forming a team to fight a boss, but when you are in the middle of the fight, there is a power outage. How would anyone feel good about this?
Hu Sanniang didn't mean that at first, but when she saw Yang Chang unexpectedly refuse, she immediately became suspicious.
"Sir, we are husband and wife, and we have something to talk about."
"I have always been frank with my wife."
"But today, something is wrong with you."
"this one"
Yang Chang pondered for a while and felt that he couldn't hide it from everyone. If something happened to him, he couldn't let the people around him be caught off guard. So he pulled Hu Sanniang close and said slowly: "I can't explain it clearly, but there must be a problem. Tonight..."
"Did you just faint again?"
"Well, with my current level of cultivation, it is impossible for me to get sick again, but the truth is so bizarre. I am afraid that if this illness continues, I will go from intermittent fainting to never waking up."
"Don't say that again!"
Hu Sanniang covered Yang Chang's mouth, then stepped back to the edge of the couch and said seriously, "I'll ask someone to invite the divine doctor, and call my second and third sisters, they have the right to know all this."
"return!"
"what"
Yang Chang jumped up like a cheetah hunting its prey. He pounced on Hu Sanniang and brought her back to the couch. He reminded her in a deep voice, "Tonight is New Year's Eve. An Daoquan also has to be with his family. It is inappropriate to disturb them at this time. Besides, why ask them to come? They can't help and they worry for nothing."
"Can"
"Let me observe for a night. If I continue to faint, it won't be too late to ask for help tomorrow morning. Princess and Qiongying should keep this a secret for now."
"OK then."
Hu Sanniang couldn't persuade him, so she covered Yang Chang with a quilt, but she didn't take off her clothes, but just sat at the head of the bed and stared at him.
The scene at that time was like an old mother looking at her newborn baby, with kindness written all over her face.
"My lady, why are you staring at your husband instead of turning off the light and getting on the bed?"
"I will not sleep tonight and will serve you like this."
"Stop fooling around and come up quickly." Yang Chang disliked the quilt and slapped his sides with his hands.
Hu Sanniang shook her head and said, "My lord, go to sleep first, don't worry about me."
"Why are you guarding me? It's not like your husband can't move."
"I just can't get enough of it."
"It's cool at night. If you want to see it, come up and be obedient."
Hu Sanniang responded with a "OK" and lay down on the left side of the bed in her clothes, staring at her man with her hands up, fearing that she would not see him again tomorrow.
Yang Chang thought that her realm was low and she would fall asleep after a while when she got tired.
Unexpectedly, this girl was very persistent. She kept lighting the lamp and adding oil at night, and she really planned to stay up all night.
When the rooster crowed three times, daybreak was about to begin.
Yang Chang couldn't bear it, so he finally forced Hu Sanniang to go to bed, and she soon fell into a deep sleep.
When Hu Sanniang opened her eyes, it was already bright outside the window.
When I looked up, I found Yang Chang sitting at the head of the bed, frowning and thinking about something.
Hu Sanniang stood up suddenly and exclaimed, "I overslept? Sir, what time is it?"
"It's been a while since the morning hour, and you don't have to report to anyone, so why are you so nervous?"
"My dear, today is the first day of the new year. As the mistress of the Yang family, how can I take the lead in sleeping in?"
"install?"
Yang Chang was about to say that there was no such rule in his family, but Hu Sanniang had already gotten up and started to put on her clothes, while patting the bed to remind him: "Sir, you are the head of the family, you don't have to worry about these things, it's okay to sleep a little longer."
Hu Sanniang put on her clothes, did some simple makeup, then pushed open the door of the main room and left in a hurry.
Although Yang Chang had not slept the whole night yesterday, he still couldn't fall asleep at dawn, so he got up with Hu Sanniang and prepared to stretch his muscles.
After three fainting spells, there were no more attacks throughout the night, and there was nothing unusual when I woke up in the morning, as if nothing had happened.
Just after breakfast, Hu Sanniang came forward mysteriously and said softly, "Sir, I have asked someone to invite Doctor An, who is waiting in the side hall. Come over and take a look."
"It's Chinese New Year, and they say everything is fine." "They just come to say hello, and it's reassuring to have someone see them."
"Ok."
Yang Chang agreed reluctantly, and then followed Hu Sanniang to the side hall to meet the guests.
Hu Sanniang invited him on the first day of the first lunar month, and she sounded quite urgent. An Dao also said that her old arm injury had flared up, so she hurried to the Administration Office carrying her medicine box. Only after she arrived did she confirm repeatedly that she was there to see Yang Chang, and her heart began to beat fast.
He met and exchanged greetings with Yang Chang. Judging from his complexion, there was nothing wrong with him, so he took the pulse of his left hand first, and then his right hand.
Although the old Chinese doctor frowned, he couldn't find any problems.
It's the first day of the new year. Are you sure you're not trying to make fun of me?
An Daoquan was suspicious, and Hu Sanniang saw that he was frowning, so she couldn't help but ask softly, "Doctor An, my husband..."
"The general is as strong as an ox. How could he have any disease? He didn't even have any minor illness."
"Nothing wrong? But he fainted last night for no apparent reason."
As soon as Hu Sanniang finished speaking, An Daoquan grabbed Yang Chang's wrist again, his brows furrowed even deeper, and he murmured, "Is this true? This is impossible, let me feel his pulse again."
"As you wish, sir."
As Yang Chang smiled in response, his body suddenly went limp and he began to fall. Fortunately, Hu Sanniang was quick to catch him.
“It’s none of my business”
"I know, the sir was like this last night, sir, please watch carefully!"
Hu Sanniang's voice was not loud, but it was significant.
An Daoquan swallowed his saliva. He did not loosen his right hand from taking Yang Chang's pulse, and quickly used his left hand to open Yang Chang's eyelids. "He really fainted."
"what's the situation?"
"Perhaps my medical skills are limited and I didn't see it at first."
An Daoquan tried to explain with embarrassment, but his words came to an abrupt end because Yang Chang suddenly woke up again.
He stared at me with big eyes and asked curiously, "Doctor An? What's wrong with me?"
How are you doing? I want to know, too.
Could it be that you and your wife have nothing to do and are deliberately making fun of me?
"Captain, you were serious just now."
"Why? Sir, do you think I'm joking?"
"No, no, I just think it's too strange. You are obviously not sick, how could it be possible..."
"I'm really not sick?"
Yang Chang and An Daoquan confirmed again and again, and suddenly realized that they were not sick, and that no mortal could cure the strange fainting. Perhaps only immortals could explain this strange thing.
Thinking of this, Yang Chang immediately sent An Daoquan away and asked him to keep the matter secret. He then returned to the back house with Hu Sanniang and called Zhao Fujin and Qiu Qiongying to the main house.
After briefly explaining his situation, he added before the two girls could fully digest their surprise: "The strange things that happened to me, I am afraid that ordinary methods are useless, I can only seek help from the immortals. Princess, take me to the Second Immortal Mountain."
"No!"
Hu Sanniang interrupted Yang Chang excitedly and said sternly: "Erxian Mountain is far away in Jizhou. It will take several days for the princess to travel. What if the master faints on the way? Why not send someone to invite him!"
"Send someone? I'm afraid that's not appropriate."
Seeing Yang Chang shaking his head, Zhao Fujin suddenly nodded and said, "Sister, what you said is very true. Yang Lang should not travel far at this time. I'd better go alone to invite him. Anyway, I know the way."
"The immortals are above the mortal world, I am afraid that the princess will not be able to invite them, and it will be a wasted trip."
"I will go with my sister. If Master Luo dares not come, I will tear down his Taoist temple!"
Qiu Qiongying pursed her lips and shook her fists, which made Yang Chang laugh and cry for a moment. He thought to himself, is this girl possessed by Li Kui? The black man chopped Luo Zhenren with an axe, and you want to destroy his Taoist temple?
On second thought, Qiao Daoqing and Ma Ling also went to Erxian Mountain, maybe I could follow their path? Qiu Qiongying knew Qiao and Ma, and Zhao Fujin and Ma Ling also had a master-disciple relationship.
In addition, with Qiu Qiongying accompanying Zhao Fujin, he had someone to take care of him along the way.
Well, you can try this method.
After Yang Chang figured it out, he immediately agreed to let the two girls go to pray for immortality on his behalf.
After some instructions and preparations, Zhao Fujin and Qiu Qiongying set off on the first day of the new year. Hu Sanniang personally saw them out of the mansion. When she turned around, she saw Wu Song's mansion opposite, and inspiration instantly burst into her mind.
She hurried back to her residence and told Yang Chang about her thoughts, but did not get a response in time, so she reminded him urgently:
"Erxian Mountain is the first choice, but it's always a good idea to have more preparations. Wenshu Temple doesn't have any great gods and immortals, but don't forget how I broke through the realm? I guess besides Elder Zhizhen, there are probably other high monks in the temple. Master Lu will definitely help you find them."
"Well, let's send someone over."
"My two sisters are helping out, so I will go to Mount Wutai myself."
"No need, go and invite my second brother, he is more suitable."
Although Wu Song's previous identity as a monk was to impersonate the murdered monk, he had actually been a monk for several years and could be considered half a Buddhist. He also had a close relationship with Lu Zhishen, so he was more suitable to be the monk than Hu Sanniang.
Of course, given his relationship with Yang Chang, he would be willing to go through fire and water, let alone just going to Mount Wutai to ask for help?
The first day of the first lunar month in the fourth year of the Jing Kang period.
(Zhao Gou was in the third year of Yan, Jin Tianhui was in the seventh year)
Zhao Fujin and Qiu Qiongying went out of the east gate first, and Wu Song followed on horseback and went out of the north gate of Yangqu.
The former went through Pingdingjun through Jingxing, and then went from Zhending to Erxian Mountain in Jizhou, a distance of more than a thousand miles, while the latter was only four hundred miles to Mount Wutai.
Even though there is a huge difference in distance, the time taken by one using magic to travel and the other riding a horse is actually not much different.
But considering that Wenshu Temple is not isolated from the outside world, and there is the relationship between Wu Song and Lu Zhishen, there will be a reply soon whether there is a high monk or not, and Luo Zhenren is mysterious and Zhao Fujin may not be able to see him, so Yang Chang is sure that Wu Song will return first.
Unfortunately, nothing in this world is absolute.
The fourth day of the first lunar month, in the afternoon.
The guards at the gate reported that Zhao Fujin and Qiu Qiongying had returned, and brought back two Taoists.
In the past few days, Yang Chang fainted several times, and the time he spent awake increased each time. The fear of the unknown made him unable to focus on anything else.
Hearing this news was like clearing away the gloom.
Two Taoists? It is impossible for Luo Zhenren to come to the secular world. Could it be Gongsun Sheng and Qiao Daoqing? Or Qiao Daoqing and Ma Ling?
The first two have great powers, so they should be able to help me more than enough? But the latter two are probably not as powerful.
Unfortunately, Yang Chang made another wrong prediction, and the people who came were Ma Ling and Fan Rui.
Fan Rui?
But we haven't seen each other for some time. When he fought with the princess at Fengyueguan, Song Jiang's people secretly inquired about it afterwards, and it turned out that he went to Erxian Mountain?
As they exchanged greetings, Zhao Fujin introduced them, saying, "My third sister and I had just arrived at Erxian Mountain when we met two of them at the foot of the mountain. They said they were sent by Master Luo to help Yang Lang resolve his difficulties."
"No wonder you responded so quickly."
Yang Chang took over and got straight to the point, "Since last year's New Year's Eve, I have been fainting for unknown reasons. An Daoquan has examined me but has not found anything abnormal. Could it be that some evil spirit is harming me?"
"It's not a demon or evil spirit, it's just that the commander was cursed."
"Curse?"
After hearing Ma Ling's answer, Yang Chang was shocked and asked hurriedly: "How to crack it?"
"We must find the curse site, and then kill the evil person who cast the curse, and the law will be broken."
"At the end of last year, I visited various places in Hedong. Could it be that the evildoer who harmed me is hiding somewhere in Hedong?"
"Haha, no."
Ma Ling shook his head and smiled, then turned his gaze to Fan Rui beside him, and then heard him say: "According to the real person's calculations, the person who cursed the general is not in the Central Plains but in the Kingdom of Jin."
"Golden State?"
"Yes, in the capital of the Jin Dynasty, Shangjing."
