Chapter 236 The Unsolvable Head-Shattering Curse
Wu You and Li Lianhua were together. Li Lianhua held a torch in one hand for lighting, while Wu You held an air freshener in the other, spraying it wherever they went.
There's no other reason than the incredibly strong smell here. One reason is the "human head evil spirit" concocted by the people of Shishou Village, which is practically reaching the heavens.
Furthermore, so many strange people gathered here, who hadn't bathed or changed clothes for over ten years, and there were bloodstains after each murder.
The cave was poorly ventilated, and all the smells mixed together, assaulting everyone's senses.
Wu You: This is not a place for humans to stay. Oh, they are not even human, but we are human.
Wu You even put aromatherapy tablets in the lining of everyone's masks before she felt she could stay inside for a while.
"There's a clue here!" Li Lianhua shouted, and everyone else gathered around.
“Take a look at this.” Li Lianhua placed the clues that she and Wu You had found in front of everyone.
"Indeed, as Elder Shi said, this sinkhole is the place where the Nan Yin people practice Gu worms."
"These martial arts practitioners were also tricked into coming here as test subjects, but it seems that none of them have succeeded in training them."
"These Southern Yin are truly terrifying. Is the Lord of the Yellow Springs among them?"
As Fang Duobing spoke, he took a small step toward Li Lianhua, as if he felt safer there.
Have you found any other clues?
"I've found this." Di Feisheng held up a broken sword in front of the torch.
The broken sword had no markings and was covered in spots of rust, making it look quite ordinary.
Everyone examined it carefully; it was just a broken sword, and they couldn't figure out what it was.
"No, this is the Yellow Springs Sword."
"The weapon of the Lord of the Underworld, then he..."
“He’s not here, but this sword is, which proves that he was very likely here. The Lord of the Underworld has a sword technique called ‘Golden Cicada Shedding Its Shell,’ which uses a broken sword to exchange for life. He must have already escaped danger and left this place.”
Li Lianhua speculated.
"Doesn't this mean we've lost another lead?"
Fang Duobing: All that effort for nothing last night.
"Brother Li, Brother Fang, everyone, now that we have found Brother Jin, once I have obtained the antidote for the Headless Demon, we must take our leave."
Seeing that Li Lianhua and the others had finished their business, though not perfectly, it should be considered over, Lu Jianchi took his leave.
"Let's go ask Elder Shi for the antidote."
Upon realizing the crimes committed by the people of Shishou Village, Fang Duobing immediately wanted to take them all to Baichuan Courtyard and lock them up.
"Antidote? Haha, hahaha, how could there be an antidote for the Headless Demon?"
Before the group even reached Elder Shi, the bound man began to laugh loudly.
"Those who offer their souls to the god of heads will forever be his servants."
Even though he was tied up, Elder Shi's attitude remained arrogant.
"You're talking nonsense. If any poison or witchcraft can be made, then there must be an antidote."
Lu Jianchi became anxious upon hearing this. If there was no antidote, what would happen to Brother Jin in the future?
"There is no antidote for the Headless Curse; this is the punishment you deserve."
"Shut up. Doctor Li, I've long heard of your reputation as a divine healer. Could you please take a look at Brother Jin?"
Lu Jianchi interrupted Elder Shi's nonsense and turned to Li Lianhua, cupping his fists in greeting.
"I haven't had much experience with the Southern Yin Gu Worm Technique, so I'm afraid it can't solve your problem."
As soon as Li Lianhua finished speaking, Lu Jianchi looked dejected. Even the legendary doctor Li, who could revive the dead and heal the wounded, couldn't do anything. What should Brother Jin do?
