I Am Your Natural Enemy
Chapter 865 - 319: Guardian Father and Guardian Mother (10k)_5
He said this curse, in the earliest records, can probably be traced back to before the Dynasty Qin and Han.
This curse can be considered one of the earliest and most severe punishments, deep in the bloodline, affecting descendants for generations.
Only those who commit the most severe crimes would be subjected to such a curse.
After all, casting such a curse requires a considerable price to be paid.
Initially, this was done to ensure the criminal's bloodline would end.
Thereby cutting off the possibility of certain things."
"Eh, this is a punishment?" Wen Yan was greatly surprised.
"As far as I know, the parts that are recorded were indeed punishments initially.
But you also know, this thing requires someone to cast it.
So inevitably, it got leaked, and later became something for the evil paths.
The most common usage was to curse the enemies when one was about to die.
Anyway, if they're doomed to die, those of the evil path wouldn't care about the cost."
At this point, Chen Tao slapped his thigh.
"I remembered, speaking of purging and resolving, there really has been a successful case.
That was the first person who got cursed, within seven days of being cursed, had someone cut open their flesh, scrape the bones to heal the poison.
If they could survive, then all would be well, if not, everything would remain as it was.
I heard my master talk about it, just this one successful case.
As for the person before us, there's really no way out.
By my calculations, he not only bears his own curse, but also others'.
He definitely cannot bear it.
If you have a way to suppress this curse, then you can only follow your method.
Suppressing it like this, there are benefits too.
As long as he's alive, the curse won't erupt on others."
Wen Yan was a bit regretful, Chen Tao also had no way.
"Is there no other way to help him endure?
I heard that in some places, they let sickly children worship mountain stones as foster parents.
Does this method work?"
"Huh, you are quite well-informed." Chen Tao was a bit surprised, Wen Yan actually knew such an obscure method, which only some places adopted.
"The method itself isn't the problem, but usually when they do this, besides a bit of mental comfort, it's of no use.
And some ignorant people, don't rely on hospitals, just rely on this useless method, and in the end, there's no good outcome.
The premise for this method to work is encountering the real thing, and it must follow strict procedures.
Otherwise, simply worshipping Mount Tai stones would be much easier?"
"Not just any mountain stone will do?"
"Of course not, to bear the burden, to bear the cause and effect, it sure can't be anything."
Hearing this, Wen Yan immediately got up, went to the car, and retrieved a cloth bundle from it, opening it to reveal the Black Mountain Stone Sculpture.
Previously, he especially went home, not just to verify if his family's revered elder could suppress such a curse, but also to get the Black Mountain Stone Sculpture.
"Old brother, do you think this thing will do?"
As Wen Yan opened the bundle, Chen Tao immediately pulled Ren Yubao and retreated to the stairway.
Looking at the Black Mountain Stone Sculpture, Chen Tao's eyes trembled while his eyelids twitched wildly, as if his face was being blasted by a strong wind, constantly quivering.
It took a while before Chen Tao calmed down.
"Can you package it first? My temple is too small to withstand it, and my newly accepted apprentice hasn't even learned much yet, let's not have him suppressed to death."
Wen Yan wrapped the Black Mountain Stone Sculpture back up.
"Will this thing work?"
Chen Tao had Ren Yubao hold three incense sticks, standing in the corner, he wiped his sweat and returned to his seat with a bitter smile.
"You really have everything, if this thing doesn't work, then there's truly nothing that will. How did you even come up with such a bit of a crooked method?"
"I've seen it before, it's a no-choice solution, have to try, plus, if he dies, I might as well not bother in the future."
Chen Tao sat back in his chair, delving into calculations, this time he was genuinely serious.
When there's no way, so be it, Wen Yan thought of ways, and even brought the most crucial tool to the door.
If he couldn't even manage the procedure, then it's because his skills aren't up to par.
In a fight, saying Chen Tao's skills aren't up to par, he would accept it begrudgingly by sliding to his knees.
But if it's talking about matters outside of the Martial Path, saying his skills aren't up to par, he wouldn't tolerate it.
Chen Tao was calculating obsessively as if possessed, and when Big Sister Ye arrived, just about to say something, Wen Yan gestured for silence with a finger over his lips.
Big Sister Ye looked at the unconscious Brother Ye, full of concern, but she held back from saying anything, having herself wheeled out to wait at the door, afraid of disturbing the people inside.
Over an hour later, Chen Tao lifted his head, his bones crackling loudly, he looked at the messy heap of items on the table and exhaled deeply.
"It was initially a bit risky, but now it's worth a try."
"Can you roughly explain, I can understand it." Wen Yan glanced at Big Sister Ye, asking Chen Tao.
"Basically, there was originally no hope at all.
But then again, the method you mentioned, plus having brought that thing, now brings a fifty percent chance of hope.
Treating a dead horse like a live one, a fifty percent chance is not low at all.
Currently, there's another thing, Yu Bao appeared because of Master Ye.
And Master Ye, being the biological sister of the person in question, should also have the curse on her.
