The Almighty Princess just wants to farm

Chapter 17 Breaking the Curse Casting the Curse

Licheng

Different from the hustle and bustle of Yuzhou, the place here seems a bit depressed.

No one was walking around on the street, the shops on both sides were closed, and even the candlelight inside the house was dim.

"Young master...this..."

"There's something weird, be careful."

The two of them got off their horses, and Xunyang found a nearby restaurant with dim lights inside.

"Shopkeeper, we are passing by here and want to ask for something to eat. Can you open the door?"

Snapped……

The lights in the room went out and there was no response.

Xunyang knocked on the doors of five or six houses in succession, but the result was the same. No one opened the door to let them in.

"Xunyang, come back. They won't open the door. Something big must have happened in this city. Let's go take a look."

Because Licheng is not a big city and the distance to Yuzhou is one day at the earliest or two days at the slowest, so neither Heyuexuan nor April Tower chose to set up a contact point here.

Close to the city lord's palace, Dongfang Li finally found the problem.

The entire City Lord's Mansion was surrounded by a strange mist, and it was vaguely visible that the door of the palace was wide open. This was not normal. As we got closer, the sound of silk and bamboo instruments seemed to be coming from the City Lord's Mansion.

"There's something wrong with this mist, be careful..."

Dongfang Li turned around to remind Xunyang, but there was still Xunyang's shadow beside her.

Xunyang just disappeared under his nose quietly.

Originally, Dongfang Li didn't plan to get involved in matters in the city. After all, she had a tight schedule this time, but now that Xunyang was involved, she had to look into the matter carefully.

Dongfang Li indulged the two horses and put some spices on each of the two horses to make it easier for him to find them later.

"Go ahead and find some food for yourself. Don't run too far."

As if they understood her words, the horses walked one after another towards the alley not far away. If you look carefully, you will find some dry fodder piled there.

Dongfang Li held the riding whip and walked into the city lord's mansion in a swaggering manner.

I didn’t realize it from the outside, but when I came in I realized that not only were silk and bamboo instruments playing inside, it was simply a place for singing and dancing, a typical place for music making.

Women in scantily clad clothes half-covered their faces, with only their foreheads and eyes exposed. Bells were tied to their wrists and ankles, and they jingled as they moved their hands and feet.

The leader was a slightly stout man with a jade crown on his hair, a finger ring on his hand, a dark green robe, and a pair of white-soled and black-faced court boots.

Sitting next to the man was an old man. His long gray hair was braided on his temples, and the rest was simply held up by a bamboo hairpin. He wore a shabby robe and a snake-shaped crutch in his hand. Dongfang Lijian The first thing that comes to mind is "Wizard".

Before Dongfang Li could observe further, a thin layer of pink mist appeared around him. If you look closely, you can see that there are tiny pink particles suspended in the mist.

Seeing these suspended particles, Dongfang Li frowned slightly, and then looked sharply at the old man holding a snake-shaped crutch.

"Acacia Curse? No wonder the people in this city dare not go out and can do such insidious things. Is it your intention or the city lord's intention?"

"I was just wondering why you could stand here unharmed. It turns out you are a member of the same group. I wonder what you call her? Which sect you are from?"

The old man looked at Dongfang Li with his dim eyes, obviously not paying attention.

"Would you believe me if I said I was self-taught?"

Dongfang Li held the riding crop in one hand and put the other hand behind her back, with her middle finger and thumb touching each other, her index finger passing between the two fingers, her ring finger and little finger stacked together.

"Girl, you can recognize this charm at a young age. I really can't bear to let you become a victim in this scene. It's a pity that you recognized this charm but still came in. You are so young..."

He narrowed his eyes and looked at Dongfang Li sympathetically.

Dongfang Li was not surprised at all that she could hope to see through his disguise. What was surprising was that she couldn't see through it.

"It's understandable that you have bad eyesight as you get older."

"What do you mean?"

"Can't you see that I don't want to die? Or can't you see that there are no drug particles around me?"

While speaking, Dongfang Li brought the hand behind his back in front of him and snapped his fingers casually.

Snapped……

The surrounding particles that were still suspended just now fell instantly, and even the fog dispersed a lot.

"You...you...you actually solved this acacia curse...you..."

The old man stood up in horror.

"What's so difficult about this? Where is the man who was with me at the door just now? Where did you take him?"

"Hehehe...you mean the handsome young man at the door? He..."

The old man just looked at Dongfang Li without saying anything.

"Look at the people here, those who should be dancing are still dancing, and those who are still sitting there and admiring are still sitting there and admiring, as if they can't even see me..."

Dongfang Li suddenly approached the old man, only a few inches away from her.

"They're like this...guess...can I break the status quo?"

"……you dare!"

The old man's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked like I'll eat you if you dare.

"Don't dare...do you think it's possible?"

Dongfang Li quickly retreated, leaving a safe distance for himself.

"If you are willing to return the person to me now, I will not care about the things here, but if my person makes the slightest mistake... the consequences are not something you, a miko, can bear."

"How do you know..." I am a miko?

"Southern Xinjiang is good at Gu and Miao Xinjiang is good at spells. Miao Xinjiang's witches will have white hair and a withered appearance when they are thirty years old. According to legend, there is a secret technique in Miao Xinjiang's holy land that can keep witches young forever, but the sacrifice is too great. Therefore, the patriarch classified this secret technique as a forbidden technique and hid it in a holy place."

"Who are you? Why do you know so much about my Miao territory?"

She had a voice in her twenties and a body in her fifties and sixties. Although she tried her best to control her voice, Dongfang Li could still hear it.

"This forbidden technique is called Spring. It uses the effect of the Acacia Curse to unite a virgin woman with a virgin man. The blood between the two is collected to enhance the spiritual power of the caster, and the man and woman who are cursed Due to the effect of the medicine, if she kept doing things in the boudoir, she would start to feel depressed on the second day, and she would die suddenly within three days."

"Since you know this matter so well, you can never leave this city lord's mansion alive today."

The miko waved the snake-shaped crutch in her hand and struck directly at Dongfang Li's head.

Dongfang Li raised his head to avoid it, swung the riding whip flexibly in his hand, silently recited a spell in his mouth, and the fingers of his other hand danced rapidly with no apparent pattern.

"Since you are so unrepentant, then today I will let you taste the taste of this curse... Fall!"

With Dongfang Li's "fall", the entire city lord's palace seemed to be covered by a huge invisible shield. The moment the spell was formed, the forbidden spell of spring was lifted, but the people in the palace were still doing their own things. It seems as if nothing has changed.

After a while, the disappeared Xunyang stumbled into Dongfang Li's eyes, covered in blood.

"Sir, are you okay? This subordinate deserves to die because he was plotted against me."

Xunyang's complexion was grey-grey and his lips were white, obviously due to excessive blood loss.

"Stop the bleeding first. I'll help you take a look after you get out."

Dongfang Li took out a hemostatic pill and handed it to Xunyang. After watching him take it, he turned around and left the city lord's mansion.

"Sir, they..."

Xunyang looked at the City Lord's Mansion behind him.

"Xunyang, in this world, it is not difficult to save people, but it is rare to save people's hearts..."

"Master, you mean... they are all awake?"

"How else do you think you made it out alive?"

Dongfang Li squatted to check Xunyang's wounds.

"You scratched yourself. Do you really dare to do it to yourself, and you are not afraid of dying from excessive blood loss?"

"I didn't think much about it at the time. I just thought I couldn't let them touch me. The pain would make me conscious, but I just didn't have the strength to run out..."

Xunyang lowered his head as he spoke, looking very annoyed.

"Although I don't like people around me to be romantic, but sometimes living is more important than anything else, you know?"

"It is important to live, but if living is meaningless, it is better to die."

"Ok?"

"This is what our prince said..."
