Yunbi County, it is said that Lord Yun once walked down on the clouds here, and there is still an ancient wall painted with this scene, and this county is named after it.

The Taoist came riding a donkey covered in dust. As he went north, he felt a sense of desolation. The grass on the road was withered and yellow, and there were bursts of dust and sand. It didn't get better until near Yunbi County.

You can see a lot of lush greenery outside the city, and although the water in the streams and rivers is thin, they still have a gurgling meaning.

The first thing I saw when I arrived in Yunbi County was an old tree outside the city gate. It has tangled roots and large branches. Together with the mottled city wall and the ancient Yunbi seal script, it is full of traces of time.

.

There were many young and old men resting under the tree, and even a chess game was being played. It didn't have the excitement of Jiangzhou or the big cities in the south. There were not many merchants and pedestrians coming and going, but there was a sense of leisure and relaxation.

The lazy donkey stopped under the tree, leaning its head to look at the chessboard. If the immortal Kongchen hadn't allowed it to speak, it would have given instructions at this moment, causing the other party to lift the table and get up.

The Taoist bent down and asked an old man under the tree: "Excuse me, my father-in-law, how far is it from Lingzhou?"

The old man pointed to the northwest: "After passing through, we will reach Lingzhou. Is the little Taoist going to Lingzhou?"

The Taoist nodded: "I want to go to Lingzhou."

The old man immediately became serious and admonished the Taoist: "The Taoist priest must have just come down from the mountain. I advise you not to go."

The Taoist asked: "Why does my father-in-law say this?"

The old man sighed: "The harvest over there in Lingzhou was not good last year, and there was another disaster this year. It is very chaotic now. You see, all the merchants and peddlers passing by are not going there. In the past, the escorts and caravans were

There are also fewer carriages and horses.”

"It's not worth it if you go to Lingzhou at this time and something happens on the way."

After the old man finished explaining the reason, he pointed out a clear path to the Taoist: "I am resting in the city today, so I'd better go back!"

The Taoist did not explain or say anything more: "Thank you, father-in-law."

He rode his donkey towards the city, but the Taoist was quite concerned about the situation in Lingzhou that his father-in-law said.

In Yunbi County, many men, women, and children gathered around the street, watching the excitement and pointing inside.

Many people put down the burdens they were carrying, the firewood they were carrying, and the wheelbarrows they were pushing. They seemed to be attracted by what they were seeing.

The young man in golden clothes who had just walked out of the Zhumen was stopped by a tall, strong and powerful monk in gray clothes after only a few steps.

This monk has short, vigorous hair, just like a hedgehog. Although he looks tall and strong, his face is kind, clean and tidy, making people fall in love with him at first sight.

"This benefactor stayed."

The young man in brocade clothes was quite well-educated. He was not angry when he was stopped. Instead, he held up his hands and asked, "What's the matter with this master?"

The master looked at the face of the young man in brocade clothes, and then nodded as if he had finally confirmed.

"Do you often feel dizzy and weak?"

"That's right!" The young man in brocade clothes was surprised.

"In the dead of night, when people are quiet, you still feel a roaring sound in your ears, which is continuous, as if someone is neighing in your ears?" the master said one after another.

The young man in brocade clothes was even more surprised and quickly took a few steps forward: "That's right? Why does the master know?"

"Before, I felt that there was a buzzing in my ears. When I asked others, they all said there was no buzzing, so I was worried that there was something wrong with my ears."

"Now that Master is telling me, I am not haunted by evil spirits, am I?"

The more the young man in brocade felt that this was the case, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the more he felt that the buzzing sound was abnormal, as if it was ringing in his ears again.

Just like ordinary people, if they are not sick, they only need to read more medical books and listen to rumors, and they will be suspicious and scared to the point of getting sick.

The master shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, the poor monk is not a sorcerer who deceives the world. How can he talk about ghosts and gods in everything?"

"The donor got married not long ago, right?" The master smiled.

"The master is really clever and clever." The young man in golden clothes nodded repeatedly, looking like he was inexperienced in the world.

"Young people, newlyweds are bound to be like this. If you exercise more restraint in the future, these situations will disappear."

Although the master spoke in a vague way, no one in the street could understand the meaning. Everyone burst into laughter with ambiguous expressions, and some women and girls turned red with embarrassment.

The young man in gilded clothes was furious. At this moment, the master struck while the iron was hot and revealed his true purpose.

"Don't worry, I have a bottle of powerful elixir here. Just take it and you'll be fine. I'm sure this won't happen again in the future, and you can also strengthen your body and avoid all kinds of diseases."

Although the young man in brocade clothes was a little embarrassed, he couldn't help but asked: "Is it really useful?"

"Of course, poor monk, this is the secret recipe of Tianlong Temple and has been passed down for thousands of years."

After some whispering, one hand of silver and the other of powerful elixir fell into his sleeve.

Among the onlookers around, people kept coming forward to buy a bottle. In just a few moments, the master made a lot of money.

After putting the money away, the matter was not over yet. The master looked at the young man in brocade clothes again.

"But this is just a trivial matter. The real danger is the beheading curse on the benefactor's neck." The master's face showed a serious look. He had just separated himself from the charlatan, and after collecting the money, he returned

Immediately blend into one.

"What's the decapitation curse?"

As soon as the young man in brocade finished speaking, he saw the master take out a mirror and put it in front of him.

The boy in brocade clothes immediately saw himself in the mirror. There was a blood-red mark on his neck. This mark looked like he had been beheaded.

The boy in brocade clothes was immediately frightened to death, and he stretched out his hand to touch it.

The master immediately shouted angrily: "Don't touch it, don't touch it."

"This decapitation curse will break out faster when touched. If you don't want to die, stop it quickly."

The scene just now had already convinced the young man in brocade to have great faith in this master. At this moment, he was so panicked that he knelt on the ground.

"Master, help me! What is this decapitating curse?"

The master did not speak in a hurry, but instead asked the people around him to watch and talk, so that through this move, his name could spread in the city faster.

"Everyone please look here, you should all be able to see it!"

Everyone smacked their lips and looked at the blood marks on the neck of the young man in brocade clothes. None of them dared to approach, but instead took a few steps away. This move made the young man even more panicked.

"I saw it, I saw it all!"

"I just saw it, are you surprised?"

"This is the legendary decapitation mark!"

"How could something like this appear for no reason? This young master of the Lin family must have gotten into something dirty, right?"

The monk let out a long sigh: "The poor monk traveled all over the world and saw this kind of thing in the Southern Dynasties, which is called the ghost curse of decapitation."

"It's a famous witchcraft in the Southern Dynasties. Those who fall victim to it will die. Donor, have you offended anyone recently?"

"I think I've heard of this too." Someone around him immediately echoed.

"It is said that all those who were hit died." Someone else said it in a reasonable way.

"I think I've heard of it too." If he didn't say anything at this time, wouldn't he appear to be shallow and ignorant of the world?

In just a few moments, this decapitating curse that came from nowhere seemed to be known all over the world, and could even be ranked among the top ten evil curses.

People around said one after another: "It's better to ask the master to go back and take a look and resolve it for you. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens!"

The boy in gilded clothes was so frightened that he cried loudly. He stepped forward and hugged the master's thigh: "Please save me, master! It doesn't matter how much money you want. I still have my parents, wife and children at home, so I can't die!"

The master compassionately took out the beads from his sleeve and looked up at the sky: "If I don't go to hell, who..."

There was secret joy in his eyes, it looked like he was going to make a big fortune again this time!

Before he finished speaking, the master seemed to feel something and suddenly looked outside the crowd.

At this time, a Taoist priest came riding a donkey down the street, and the crowd seemed to unconsciously move out of the way.

The Taoist did not watch this farce, and passed directly by the master monk and the young man in brocade clothes, and walked away.

Then, a long sound came from far away.

"When I get back, wash your neck carefully. The lanyard has faded."

Only then did the young man in brocade realize what he was doing, he grabbed the jade plaque hanging on his chest under his clothes, pulled it out and saw that it was indeed a brand new red rope.

The man wiped it again, and the so-called "decapitation curse" on his neck was wiped off and turned into red dye, dyeing his hands and neck red.

"Pfft!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Suddenly, a roar of laughter burst into the sky, overturning the entire street.

Whether it was the aunt selling vegetables, the man selling firewood, the hunters going to the market, or the whole street of men, women, old and young, everyone was laughing and leaping forward with joy.

The young man in brocade clothes was so angry that he got up from the ground, grabbed the jade plaque from his neck, and pointed at the spot in front of him where the monk was just now.

"you this……"

He stood up and wanted to catch the liar, but found that the liar was no longer among the crowd.
