Chapter 281 Breaking the Curse
Chapter 281 Breaking the Curse
Mrs. Zhou, who was already on the verge of collapse, couldn't help but tremble.
"Can you solve it?" she murmured. "Can you really solve it?"
"Impossible!" Xiao Tao shouted, "How could you possibly solve it? There is no solution to the Soul Devouring Curse!"
Shang Ruoyi said nonchalantly: "They are just some spells. I happen to be very curious about spells and have studied them." The so-called spells are nothing more than a combination of witchcraft and sorcery.
She came to the north wall, Xiaotao looked at her warily, and saw Shang Ruoyi walk to the only cabinet on the north wall.
Xiaotao's face looked completely defeated.
She knows, she really knows!
The puppet was hidden in the wall behind the cabinet.
How can this be?
The north wall is so big, how did she determine that the puppet was hidden here?
Shang Ruoyi squatted down and found that there were gaps around the bottom brick. She pulled out a dagger and pried the brick down along the gaps.
"Click." A puppet fell out.
Shang Ruoyi curled the corners of her lips and found it.
"Mrs. Zhou." She handed the puppet over and said, "Is this your son's birth date?"
Mrs. Zhou took it and took a look, her heart sank. It was indeed engraved with her son’s birthday, and the name he had chosen long ago: Zhou Wenbin.
Her hands were shaking, and her eyes fell on Xiaotao not far away, with anger rising from her eyes.
"It's you. It really is you."
"I······"
Before she finished her words, Madam Zhou rushed over, raised her hand, and slapped her face hard: "I trusted you so much, but you actually did such a thing. My child is still so young."
"What about my brother? He was also this young when he died." Xiao Tao stared at her, no longer having to pretend to be respectful, and said fiercely: "I have waited for this day for a long time. Every day I look forward to seeing you like this. You should experience the pain of having your fate controlled by others and being powerless to change it."
Madam Zhou grabbed her with both hands, her long nails piercing her skin fiercely: "Don't blame me for being cruel if you treat me like this."
A cry of pain came from Xiaotao's mouth, and several white insects crawled out from the place where Mrs. Zhou was holding her.
Shang Ruoyi ignored the master and servant and looked around again.
The reason why she sang this was actually because of Zhou Jingyao. After removing the poison, she also found traces of curses on his body. Although it was not as strong and overbearing as the Soul-Devouring Curse, it was also harmful to his body. She came here adhering to the principle of sending the Buddha to the west.
Shang Ruoyi looked around and scanned the walls.
Since the space was upgraded, her eyes can see everything inside the bricks and stones. That is why she can easily find the puppet hidden in the bricks and stones.
She looked around and found that there were no puppets or anything like that around the walls. Just as she was about to look away, she accidentally glanced at the baby.
It turns out to be here.
She saw a puppet in the baby's cradle, so she walked quickly forward and took the puppet out.
Mrs. Zhou noticed her actions, but it was too late to stop her.
"Put it down!" she said sternly, "That's what kept my son alive. You can't take it away."
"Witchcraft." Shang Ruoyi sneered and exerted force with her hands, and the puppet broke.
“Stop it!” Mrs. Zhou rushed forward like a madman, picked up the broken puppet from the ground, and cried out heartbreakingly: “Child, my child.”
"Your child is not dead yet, why are you crying?" Shang Ruoyi said in a low voice.
Mrs. Zhou crawled to the bed and looked at the child. Sure enough, the child was just as usual. She finally felt relieved.
At this moment, she suddenly remembered Shang Ruoyi's words. Mrs. Zhou knelt on the ground and begged, "Divine Doctor, you just said that you can remove the curse on my son, but is that true?"
Shang Ruoyi nodded: "I can indeed solve it, but why should I help you?"
"As long as you are willing to help me, as long as you can save him, even if it costs my life, it's all fine." She cried, "Please, please."
Over the years, in order to save her son, she has thought of countless ways and also killed countless lives.
"It's understandable that parents love their children so much, but you shouldn't let your love blind you and lose your mind." Shang Ruoyi said in a deep voice: "I can save him, but you have to turn yourself in to the authorities!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Zhou nodded hastily: "I'll go. As long as you can save him, I'll immediately turn myself in to the government."
Shang Ruoyi looked at Ah Cheng and said, "Take them back to the Zhou family."
"Yes."
When they returned to the Zhou family, it was already daybreak. The head of the Zhou family was shocked when he saw his child from more than ten years ago.
"This, this, this, this, could it be a monster?"
Shang Ruoyi shook her head and explained the whole story in detail. Even so, Patriarch Zhou still couldn't accept it for a while.
Shang Ruoyi expressed her understanding of this. After all, no one would be able to accept the fact that their child had been dead for more than ten years.
At this time, cinnabar had been placed in the room according to her request.
Shang Ruoyi put cinnabar on the child's forehead, and the cinnabar was instantly absorbed by the skin and disappeared.
Manager Zhou was standing by and was shocked when he saw this scene.
Shang Ruoyi pierced the baby's fingertips, squeezed out a few drops of blood, mixed it with cinnabar, turned to Madam Zhou and said, "Madam Zhou, I guess you must have a lot of poisonous insects!"
Madam Zhou looked at the head of the Zhou family next to her and took out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve pocket, which contained three poisonous insects.
When the head of the Zhou family saw the poisonous insect rolling around in the plate, he felt inexplicably nauseous.
He held onto the door frame and retched continuously.
The thought of having slept in the same bed with such a woman for more than ten years made him feel even more disgusted and he immediately ordered people to take Madam Zhou and her servant away and lock them up, waiting for the government to come and take them away.
Shang Ruoyi put three poisonous insects into the cinnabar plate. Soon, the three poisonous insects ate up all the cinnabar and blood.
Shang Ruo ordered someone to bring fire, roast the three poisonous insects dry, grind them into powder, and then dilute the powder with spiritual spring water and feed it to the baby.
She left a little powder and applied it on Zhou Jingyao's head. In an instant, his originally pale face turned rosy.
The baby's breathing was also much smoother than before.
Seeing this, Manager Zhou asked softly, "Divine Doctor Lingjun, are the two young masters' illnesses healed?"
Shang Ruoyi looked at him and secretly admired him in her heart. This Manager Zhou was really a smart man. He described the spells and witchcraft as diseases, which made people feel much more comfortable.
"Just continue to take care of it later." Shang Ruoyi took out some pills: "Young Master, you need to dissolve it in warm water and take it twice a day, half a pill each time."
"Thank you, Divine Doctor." Manager Zhou said with a smile, "It seems that Divine Doctor Lingjun and our Zhou family must have a connection."
