Chapter 6 Water Official Curse
Now that the cause of Lu Yuzhu's death was known, Qi Zhiyong's mission was accomplished.

But Wu Xian did not leave.

Out of his professional detective instinct, he searched the room carefully and finally found a secret compartment behind the painting on the wall. There was something unexpected in the secret compartment.

A statue of God!
This statue has an eagle head and a human body, sitting cross-legged on a throne, with countless ferocious poisonous snakes of varying lengths and thicknesses wrapped around its body. These snakes are carved extremely delicately, like living creatures, as if they would leap up at any time and bite people's throats.

There are two red candles and an incense burner on the table in front of the statue. There is a brass base under the statue, and the name of the statue is written on the edge of the base:
Water Official-the Great Lord of Xuanming!
“There’s a statue!”

Wu Xian's breathing quickened. After he burned the red-clothed ghost to death, he obtained an incense stick. The incense stick was described as follows on the miscellaneous items page of the family member's certificate of ordination.

Incense for evil spirits: It is produced from the hanging of evil spirits. It can remove filth and obsession from evil spirits. It is condensed from the essence of negative energy. Burning it can increase good deeds and respect gods.

Qi Zhiyong was still waiting outside, so Wu Xian didn't waste any time and directly inserted the incense.

The burning incense does not emit smoke, but light blue mist. The mist floats on the table and forms three shapes of objects.

Magic Mirror: A polished bronze ancient mirror. Rubbing the Taoist pattern on the back with your fingers can identify the original form of ghosts and monsters and break the tricks of monsters. Each time it takes effect, it consumes spiritual energy, and when it is used up, it becomes a mundane object.

Copper Coin Sword: It is woven from the coins of the Five Emperors of the Prosperous Age. It is one foot and three fen long. It will generate heat when encountering ghosts and can hurt evil spirits.

Purifying whisk: peach wood pole, spiritual horse tail, cleanses the body and the ground, sweeps away gloom.

Wu Xian took a quick look at the effects of the three magical weapons, then reached into the vapor and pulled out a wet copper coin sword.

After he made his choice, the statue turned into a pool of water and then quickly evaporated into mist and dissipated.

It seems that these statues can only be worshipped once.

The blade of this copper coin sword is short and thick, and it has a blade made of ten layers of copper coins, with five copper coins stacked on each layer. They are the half-liang coin of the Qin Dynasty, the five-zhu coin of the Han Dynasty, the Kaiyuan Tongbao, the Song and Yuan Tongbao, and the Yongle Tongbao.

Every time this copper coin sword is used to injure an evil spirit, one layer of the blade will be lost. When all ten layers of the blade disappear, this copper coin sword can no longer be used.

Wu Xian chuckled and put the copper coin sword on his back.

Searching the scene was just his habit, but he didn't expect to get some unexpected gains. With this copper coin sword and the True Fire Spell, he had the basic ability to protect himself in the blessed land.

Just as he was feeling overjoyed, Wu Xian suddenly felt a chill.

An inexplicable chill spread from deep within his heart, and goose bumps appeared all over his body. A body colder than ice pressed against him, and the bone-chilling cold made Wu Xian unable to move.

Wu Xian saw out of the corner of his eye a man's head resting on his shoulder. The side of the man's face was frozen blue and cracked, with fine ice chips on the broken skin.

"I'm... so cold."

"Find me, find me quickly."

"This coffin is full of ice. It's narrow and small. I can't lie straight and sleep well. Please come and let me out. I'll wait for you here."

"I'll always be waiting for you."

The man disappeared after he finished speaking, leaving only a puddle of ice water on the ground behind Wu Xian.

It took Wu Xian a while to recover. He was trembling all over, his limbs were cold, his fingers and toes were numb, and there was a layer of frost on his left ear. He hurriedly rubbed his ear with his left hand, and fumbled with his right hand to open the certificate of ordination to see if there was any new information on it.

There were two more pieces of information on the certificate. One was about the copper coin sword, which was within Wu Xian's expectations, and the other was...

curse!

[Water Official Curse]: 'Uncomfortable Coffin'

The coffin is the home of the deceased, but Mr. Wang doesn't like the home his wife gave him. Please find Mr. Wang and release him from this uncomfortable home. Before you find him, your body temperature will continue to drop.

"屮!"

Wu Xian cursed angrily.

He had just worshipped the statue of the Water God, and was cursed by the Water God. It was obvious that this curse was caused by worshiping the god. He did not pick up a pie in the sky this time, but got a sugar-coated bullet!
In addition to being angry, Wu Xian also felt uneasy.

The evil spirits in the blessed land cannot be countered by some talismans and magic tools. If the thing that just stuck to his body wanted to kill someone, Wu Xian would not even have the chance to take out the copper coin sword! The idea of ​​having the power to protect himself just now was simply stupid!

When Wu Xian was blaming himself, Qi Zhiyong's voice came from outside: "Why haven't you come out yet? Are you dead in there?"

Wu Xian was so angry that he was about to curse, but then he remembered his character.

So he ruffled his hair, took a deep breath until stars appeared in his eyes, staggered out, and grabbed Qi Zhiyong's arm with a terrified look on his face.

"Well, there is a ghost in there, and there is also a woman..."

Hearing that there was a ghost, Qi Zhiyong's eyes flashed with relief, and he quickly comforted Wu Xian: "Don't worry, tell me slowly, tell me what you have found."

Wu Xianjiang stuttered as he told Qi Zhiyong the lies he had prepared long ago.

He did not mention the matter of worshiping gods, and concealed some of his own discoveries. He described in great detail the horror of being cursed, and Qi Zhiyong nodded his head as he listened.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine,"

Qi Zhiyong comforted Wu Xian with a few half-hearted words and sent Wu Xian to look for supplies. He had already got what he wanted and didn't want to waste any more time on Wu Xian.

In his eyes, Wu Xian was already a dead man.

……

"Just wait, I'll give you a surprise."

After saying goodbye to Qi Zhiyong, Wu Xian cursed.

Although he decided to hide his incompetence, Qi Zhiyong's attitude still made him quite unhappy. He decided to give Qi Zhiyong the whole job after the curse was lifted.

While he was acting pitifully, his body temperature had gradually recovered and remained at a level slightly lower than usual. At this rate of temperature drop, he would not lose the ability to move due to hypothermia for at least a few hours.

But the question now is, how to find this 'Mr. Wang'?

If they were outside, it would not be difficult for Wu Xian to find someone. If Mr. Wang lived not far away, the information in those few sentences alone would be enough for Wu Xian to find him.

Surname Wang, in the refrigerator, married and dead...

But Fudi was too unfamiliar and the time left for Wu Xian was too short, so he started brainstorming.

Then he walked around the corner of the stairs and found a way.

"Hehehe, it seems he is more anxious than me."

When Wu Xian turned the corner, he suddenly realized that it was his left face that felt cold, but after turning the corner, his right face felt cold. He turned around and tried a few more times, and finally determined that the cold came from a certain direction.

This is the tip that Mr. Wang gave to Wu Xian!
"Since he is in a hurry, I won't be in a hurry for now."

Wu Xian was no longer in a hurry to go downstairs. Instead, he strolled from floor to floor like an old man, with his hands behind his back.

This building has four floors in total. The second, third and fourth floors each have eight guest rooms. The first floor is the living space for the front desk and the hotel owner. The doors of the rooms on the second and third floors were all violently destroyed like room 405. The furniture inside began to fade and weather like old photos that have been stored for a long time.

But other than that, the 2nd and 3rd floors were clean.

There were no broken arms or limbs, no blood on the ground, only thick plaster and human-shaped cement sculptures that were out of place in the hostel environment, and... the omnipresent stench of rotting corpses!

Wu Xian endured the strange smell and walked around, and he actually found something useful.

This is a Buddha statue.

The lotus throne was piled high with treasures and artifacts. A Buddha head was placed on top of the treasures, with a strange smile on his face, as if he was obsessed with money.

The name of God is written on the throne.
